They said it

"Start of the season, training camp, I felt I was just thinking way too much on the ice, worried about if I'm in the right position or is this the right structure we need to be playing. Now I'm reacting to situations because I've got the systems engraved in my mind. ... You're just reacting so you're that much quicker. Any second or two you can gain on the ice is a big advantage." -- Panthers forward Mike Hoffman
"I really do believe its neutral-zone speed. We're moving pucks up quick, and when forwards don't have a play to make at the blue line, we're putting it in and we're going and getting it back. We're moving our feet in the zone. Guys are starting to play better together." -- Flyers forward Scott Laughton
