"[The Senators have] been playing real well 5-on-5. If you look at their game, they're on the positive side. They've scored a couple more goals than we have and they've given up a couple less than we have. So they're a good team that's playing well right now. … We've got a tough matchup and we're going to have to be ready from the start." -- Flyers coach Alain Vigneault
"What he's got over some of the other guys is right now he's seeing what works for him and that's his transition game. We've talked a lot of the time about the Bruins and how they're the best transition team in hockey, I think anyways, and he's playing much like that, where he steals the puck from you and he gets opportunistic goals. But he's on the right side of the puck, he's not cheating for them, he's not turning it over trying to get offense. He's letting you make the mistake and then he capitalizes." -- Senators coach D.J. Smith on forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau
