They said it

"I think as a team, we're not in a position we want to be right now. We know we have a good team in here, we know we can win a lot of games. It just feels like this team, when we're searching for that confidence and we don't have that swagger, we don't win games." -- Flyers forward Claude Giroux
"It's what you've been waiting for your whole life. So I'm just going to soak it in and do my best." -- Bruins defenseman Jeremy Lauzon, who will make his NHL debut
