"I don't know how to explain this anymore. It's frustrating. I guess we had a good last 10 [minutes], but teams just bury us, they just sit back. I don't know, it's frustrating. I try to compete as best I can. I don't know what to say right now. It's obviously frustrating." -- Sabres goalie Carter Hutton
"We've been up there in the standings for quite a while, so this doesn't feel like a surprise or doesn't feel like we should be jumping with joy. We're excited, we're happy, we've accomplished a lot without a lot of people believing in us. From the fans to us, it's a great first step here." -- Islanders captain Anders Lee
