They said it

"This is a team that's fast. Their back end is really quick. This is a really good club, very well coached. They've got some enthusiasm." -- Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella on facing the Hurricanes
"They had 21 shots from their back end [Saturday], so that tells you a few things. We will have to look after that. You just have to be aware. They're going to try to beat you up ice when they leave the zone, so you've got to reload hard and be committed to beating them up ice." -- Peters on the Blue Jackets defensemen
