They said it

"We're just playing a solid game, getting production from everybody. Every single guy on this team has a role and we're playing hard and having fun at the same time. We know how important these points are from the get-go and we're doing a pretty good job so far." -- Kings center Anze Kopitar
"The message got sent pretty good last game [against the Senators]. That helps me with the message on how you have to play against good teams. Don't turn over pucks. [The Kings] don't turn the puck over so we can't turn the puck over or else it just gets lopsided in a hurry and you don't have a whole lot of fun playing in your own zone." -- Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock
