They said it

"We've just been playing hard. We've got a really young team so we've just been trying to get better every day as we go along. I know we haven't played perfect games, but every game we're working hard. When we make mistakes, we've got good legs to cover up for them." -- Simmonds
"I think that we're all excited to get back, especially after the result on the road. I think that in our last game we did a lot of things well and maybe didn't get the early results in the game that we wanted, didn't get some of the bounces. I think in other areas we want to clean things up, and we worked on some of those things [Monday] in practice, but for sure we're looking forward to the energy in the building." -- Predators defenseman P.K. Subban
