SAY WHAT: 'THIS IS A HUGE MOMENT'

MATTHEW TKACHUK ON BOUNCING BACK:

ON PRESSURE TO PERFORM:

"I've got to get going. … I'm putting all the pressure on myself to turn this around and it starts tonight. All the pressure should be on me. I haven't performed the way I'd like to, so all the pressure should be on me to try and turn this thing around, try to provide emotion from the first drop of the puck tonight, and grind out a win on a tough back-to-back against a team that's playing very well."

ON HIS GAME:

"For myself personally, I'll give up scoring a goal for the rest of the year if that's what it takes for our team to win a Stanley Cup. I think if you asked a lot of our guys the same, they'd do that. The team comes first, no matter what."

ANDREW MANGIAPANE ON 'MAKE-OR-BREAK' TILT:

"It's pretty close to, right? We're facing some good teams and we're a .500 hockey team right now, so we've got to start pulling away - we've got to start winning some games and start competing every game, start playing a full 60 every game, stop the stretches where we play good for 20 minutes and let off the gas for two minutes, and all of a sudden, the game's out of reach. We've got to stop doing that. We've got to learn from our mistakes. Tonight's a new night. We've got to play our best."

GEOFF WARD ON TKACHUK'S COMMENTS:

"We all need to do more. We're all capable of more and we need more. The fact that Matthew is saying that, it's good, it's a good thing. But we arrive at where we're at as a team. We need everybody to be willing to do more, everybody feeling that way. It's got to start right there. ... We're not there yet. But for him to say that, it's probably a good start."

ON STARTING ON TIME:

"Keep it simple, keep the puck moving forward, support pucks, to be skating, put pucks in areas where you can get it back, win races, win battles. It's not a magic elixir. You have to be ready to play and we can be better through the whole 60 minutes. We need to put a 60-minute game on the ice. When you're talking about trying to set momentum early in a hockey game, it's about shooting pucks, it's about getting your feet going, getting the puck in the offensive zone, it's being hard on forechecks, being physical. There's a lot of different ways that you can generate momentum off the start. The worst way is to be playing in your own end a lot."

ON REMATCH WITH THE OILERS:

"(Last night) wasn't really what you sort of figure will be the Battle of Alberta. But the game turned out the way it was. From (Oilers coach Dave Tippett's) standpoint, I'm sure he's ecstatic with how they were able to defend. For us, we need an emotional attachment, for sure, but we have to execute better in a few difference areas to feed that emotional attachment."
