They said it

"He's so good. He's under-the-radar good. You can see how he's starting to feel comfortable on the ice, controlling the play with his speed and strength down low, especially off the rush. He's such a smart player. We're lucky to have him." -- Lightning forward Steven Stamkos on defenseman Ryan McDonagh
"If you mismanage the puck and are a little sloppy, they can transition as (good as anyone). ... You dive in, you make a bad play, they counteract right away. So you've got to be diligent in five-man units, even a simple [line] change, and getting the puck in deep at the right opportunities." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet on playing the Lightning
