They said it

"It was amazing, it was like Christmas came early. It was a good feeling. It's been a tough stretch, it had been a long time, but on the other hand, we knew we had to break it eventually."-- Flyers right wing Jacob Voracek on ending a 10-game losing streak
"We're finding a way to produce 5-on-5, which is important. Our power play hasn't been very good, everyone knows that, and once we can find a way to get that producing, it'll really help." -- Oilers center Connor McDavid on Edmonton scoring 11 goals in its past two games
