They said it

"You can see we have a fun team, they skate hard, it's just play the right way and get some success. For myself, it was fun to be playing hockey again. It was a long road back and I'm just happy to be back." -- Oilers goaltender Al Montoya on his debut with Edmonton on Saturday, his first game since Nov. 4 with the Montreal Canadiens
"He's got an opportunity to get back in there. We have [Glass] start in back-to-back games and he took the ball and ran with it and that's part of the game … That wasn't the plan originally, but sometimes you go with a little momentum." -- Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville on starting Forsberg against Edmonton
