They said it

"I really believe the details have been getting better. We know we have to play with details if we're going to win or have a chance to compete. And when you've got Derek Stepan, [Oliver Ekman-Larsson] and [Niklas] Hjalmarsson preaching that stuff, it really helps the coaching staff out - when your leadership group's doing it, but also preaching it." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet
"They're going to be chasing us down, they're going to be looking for us to be a little sloppy or slow down there, not getting quick on pucks. So, obviously, that's something we're going to have to be aware of." -- Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot on the Coyotes' top-ranked penalty kill (87.2 percent)
