"There were a few too many mistakes out there. Whenever there was, they capitalized on every chance they got. ... Overall, they were just a better team. We'll be ready for Monday." -- Blues defenseman Joel Edmundson
"I thought that third period, we got to our game, we were aggressive, we're on the forecheck, controlled the puck in the offensive zone. We didn't get there enough tonight."-- Blues coach Craig Berube
"You don't care how this time of year, you just want to get the win. It was important to get off to a good start. I think both teams looked a little like they were coming out of Game 7s, and it was a little sloppy in areas, both ways, but we found a way." -- Sharks coach Peter DeBoer
