<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Jake Oettinger: &#8220;He was the best player in the series, that&#8217;s for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the team sticking with it during the series: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to be mentally tough. You want to make the playoffs? You want to win four games? You want to play seven games? That&#8217;s the way it works. The process, you&#8217;ve got to learn it, figure it out.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On Johnny Gaudreau</em>: &#8220;Johnny had a really strong series, to be quite honest, so it&#8217;s good that he got the game-winner, the series-winner.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On what he wants his group to take from the series</em>: &#8220;I want them to get a rest. There&#8217;s not much philosophy now.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On the team staying even-keen in a wild environment</em>: &#8220;We deserved to win. We took 100-and-some shots. If we&#8217;d have lost, I know what you&#8217;d have been saying. So we deserved to win. Questions and answers. We deserved to win. Simple.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>On scoring the game-winning goal</em>: &#8220;It was awesome. It was a tight series throughout the whole week or two weeks here, and it came right down to the end there, in Game 7 overtime. Like you said, I mean, you dream about stuff like that, scoring in a Game 7 in overtime. Nice play by Chucky behind the net, found Lindy in front, and I got the rebound.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On where this goal ranks among the goals he&#8217;s scored</em>: &#8220;Is that a question, really? Come on. There&#8217;s no bigger stage than what we just did there. It was really special for me. I was really excited. I thought our line, you know, kind of came out a little flat-footed tonight. We gave up two goals and we knew we had to get them back. Chucky had a big goal for us in the second there. The way we were scoring after they scored their second goal, I thought one of the three of us was going to get it. I&#8217;m happy for those two guys. We played well after those two goals.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On what Darryl Sutter told them post-game</em>: &#8220;He was just telling us he&#8217;d let us know when the next round is, pretty much.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On the upcoming Battle of Alberta</em>: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been here for nine years and never had even a sniff of a chance to play them in the playoffs. It&#8217;s pretty special and it&#8217;ll be a lot of fun. It&#8217;s going to be good for the province. It&#8217;s going to be a pretty cool series.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Matthew Tkachuk</strong></p>
<p><em>On the series win</em>: &#8220;It was just such a hard series to win. Feels very good, but we don&#8217;t want to stop there.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>If he&#8217;s seen the photos of brother Brady throwing t-shirts at the Red Lot</em>: &#8220;I have not, but he&#8217;s on quite a tear since his season ended so I can only imagine.&#8221;</p>
