SAY WHAT: 'READY WHEN THE TIME COMES'

DARRYL SUTTER ON FACING THE CANUCKS TONIGHT:

ON GEARING UP FOR THE PLAYOFFS:

"If you're not a consistent playoff team, then you are never, ever are even a consideration to win a round. And that's a fact. The last two or three games, to me, have been about players and the groups that we have, seeing if individuals... if those groups are going to be competitive at playoff time. Or, if we're just going to win a game or not a game."

ON DIFFICULTY OF MAKING THE POSTSEASON:

"I'm not saying it because we made the playoffs, but once you make it, it's wide open. It's wide open. There are three or four things that are critical once you make the playoffs: Goaltending, officiating, and sometimes with your travel affects it so much. There's always that player that has a great regular season and doesn't have a good playoff; and then there's a guy who has a great playoff that's a surprise. But once you get to it now, it's so even. If I wasn't coaching or playing, I wouldn't know (who to pick). It would be hard."

OLIVER KYLINGTON ON APPROACH IN LAST 4 GAMES:

"For us, being very sharp on our details and really preparing ourselves moving towards the playoffs. Being there mentally and preparing really to win these games and playing these games as playoff games. We can't just take a time off here and just wait 'til playoffs start. We need to approach these games importantly and be sharp and do our best out there to be ready when the time comes."

NIKITA ZADOROV ON BEING A 'PLAYOFF PLAYER':

"Hard to play against, I would say. If you picked one word. I just love every part about the playoffs. Atmosphere, excitement, the chips on the line every game. I think I'm really into it. I'm definitely a playoff player and I really enjoy playing playoff hockey.
"It's exciting, definitely. I'm pretty much waiting 82 games to play playoff hockey."
