They said it

"We feel this will be as tough an out when we went into Dallas and they were on their run." -- Jets center Blake Wheeler
"They play hard, they have a real lunch-pail, blue collar-type mentality. And Hellebuyck stood on his head last time in here (51 saves). We have to be prepared for that, keep this thing rolling, we feel good about it. … It's another chance to close on a team above us in the Western Conference." -- Sharks coach Peter DeBoer
