They said it

"When you're going, you've allowed yourself to get bounces, you've created your own bounces and that's what they've done. They're playing well, they work hard, they're quick in transition, they have some high-end players who are getting great goaltending. But it's a test for us and it's up to us to respond." -- Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton
"It's not a secret, everybody is working in all the games. Different guys are stepping up. It was a huge win. Tomorrow is another big test for us. It's a back-to-back and it's a hard building to play in. Chicago is a divisional opponent, so it's huge." -- Stars forward Alexander Radulov
