They said it

"I thought it was as good a game [as we've played] start to finish, even though we got down. We were playing fine. I just love the fact it didn't change one bit what we were doing." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour on Carolina's comeback win against Florida on Saturday
"We've been really porous defensively the last couple of games and that's not good enough. The biggest thing I made clear for our group for [Sunday] and the long-term future of this team is that we have to play hockey the right way."-- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill
