They said it

"I totally agreed with it, it was a great call. I thought they'd give like a 10-minute power play. In today's two referee system, you're just hoping for one really good one all of the time." -- Kings coach Darryl Sutter on Kyle Clifford's boarding penalty
"We've identified our game. We know what it looks like when we're playing the way we're supposed to play. It's not easy to play that way every night, but it's easier when everyone buys into it and it feels like we've got everybody in here playing the same way." -- Jets forward Blake Wheeler
