They said it 

"There's a lot of depth, a lot of different guys that have chipped in. That's what you need... It's a new guy every night. We're having a lot of fun with that." -- Panthers forward Brett Connolly

"[Florida is] a great team. Don't kid yourself. They're the highest scoring team in the League, and nobody knows it's the highest scoring. … They're climbing. … My confidence is, if we play the way we played the last two games that we'll be in there with them. If we don't, then it'll be a long night." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
