They said it

"From past experience just this year, too many times we maybe felt sorry for ourselves, felt like there was nothing we could do. But the energy on the bench, the things guys were saying, the support guys were able to give each other and how we were rolling the lines and keep them in their zone. There were some shifts where I thought we tired out their top guys, and that goes a long way and gives you a chance to come back in the game." -- Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty after Montreal rallied from down 4-2 in the third period to defeat the Jets
"He just finds the puck and battles like crazy on every shot and the second shot as well. He's been great. It's been fun watching him." -- Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville on Crawford
