"At the end of the day, we still have to go out there and perform, work, and do the job. It just doesn't change because of a coaching change. … We still have to go out there and work. We've brought maybe a little bit more emotion and determination in our game in the last three games, and it's helped." -- Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin
"We're really excited about it. It's been highlighted on the calendar for a while, this back-to-back. You can feel the energy in the group. We're going to make the picture small here and do our best to play some strong hockey. Of course, the rivalry will bring emotion into the building. We know it'll be a mix of people from Canada and Buffalo supporting both sides, which will create a bit of an atmosphere like I'm used to often in Europe, when there's lots of road fans. It'll certainly give a spark to the game. -- Sabres coach Ralph Krueger
