"When I evaluate the game, I thought we played well. The score tells you differently. There's probably going to be a lot of people that disagree with me, but I thought we got the start we wanted. There's just some bad bounces that occurred." -- Sabres coach Phil Housley
"It was really big, I mean, we responded the way we needed to. We had a little bit of a meeting yesterday too. It needs to be better, and I think we cleared that up today. We hold on to a lot more pucks, get into a lot more battles. That was a really huge win, and I feel like this was a really good team game, probably the best 60 minutes we played so far this year." -- Stars defenseman John Klingberg
