The quotes
Head coach Darryl Sutter
"We played good." #Flames head coach Darryl Sutter shares his thoughts on the win in Chicago.
On the win: āPlayed goodā¦ Itās a hard game to play. Clinched a playoff spot two nights ago, travelled all day yesterday. Itās a hard game to play. Itās a game where the kids on the other sides are going to come out and try to show their worth, and they did.ā
On Jacob Markstromās performance: āMade more big saves than one bad save, thatās for sure. He made a lot of big saves. 88 and 12 were hopping out there for the other team.ā
On the performance of the line of Dillon Dube, Calle Jarnkrok and Blake Coleman: āThey give us some energy and theyāre persistent players. I think itās good for Dillon to play with Blake right now. I think heās got lots of cleaning up to do in his game.ā
Johnny Gaudreau
"We stuck with it and got the win." Jacob Markstrom and Johnny Gaudreau reflect on the win over the Blackhawks.
On how the game unfolded: āI thought we had a good first period, obviously. Quick couple goals there. I think we couldāve had a few more. I think their goalie played pretty well there in the first, helped them stick around a little bit. And then in the second, kind of let our foot off the gas and in the third they kind of pushed us back a little bit. But we stuck with it and got the win.ā
