They said it

"You want to go out there and dictate, and when we're at our best we're quick, we're dictating the pace. We're not waiting, sitting on our heels waiting to see what's happening. We have to go after it. I think the best thing is we can get right back into it (Sunday) night, immediately. And we'll be ready." -- Flames defenseman Travis Hamonic
"We're doing a good job of staying calm and making sure we're still out there to score that next goal. We're not just sitting back and receiving the game. I think when you start doing that, you end up getting caught and get extended shifts. That leads to trouble." -- Ducks forward Jakob Silfverberg
