They said it

"It seems like we just got a little bit of ignorance in our game where we know we're a good team and we just think that's going to be good enough. In this league, it's not even close. Hard work and talent is what wins, and we're just kind of doing the talent part right now." -- Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno
"I'm playing with some good players and the bounces are coming my way. I'm just trying to keep playing my game and help the team win."-- Sharks forward Timo Meier on his nine-game point streak
