<p><em>On how the game unfolded</em>: &#8220;I think we had a lot of the younger guys that haven&#8217;t been in this situation before were a little bit intimidated by the atmosphere.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On Edmonton&#8217;s early push</em>: &#8220;You knew what was coming. They haven&#8217;t played at home in this round yet and they were going to come out hard and really play with a lot of purpose in their game, and a lot of speed, and they did. And I thought Marky in the first period probably made 3, 4 saves that would&#8217;ve kept it a no-score. But I just think, give Edmonton credit, the way they played in neutral, it fed 97&#8217;s game for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On the Milan Lucic hit on Mike Smith</em>: &#8220;They called it charging, correct? Can you imagine if Looch did charge? What would&#8217;ve happened there? He actually tried to slow it down a little, i think. It is what it is. It&#8217;s the score and who it was. That&#8217;s what they call.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On the decision to pull Jacob Markstrom from the game</em>: &#8220;Just after two periods. I could&#8217;ve done it with seven minutes left in the second but I didn&#8217;t think that was right, since it wouldn&#8217;t give Vladdy time to warm up between periods.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On what he says to Markstrom in that situation</em>: &#8220;Yeah, &#8216;Marky, Vladdy&#8217;s going in.'&#8221;</p>

<p><em>On hanging Jacob Markstrom out to dry</em>: &#8220;Absolutely. I mean, odd-man rushes and&#8230; What were they, four odd-man rushes? I thought he was awesome tonight, Marky. He made so many great saves and kept us in it in the first and we just didn&#8217;t play that great in front of him in the second.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>On what they need to do to have success</em>: &#8220;They&#8217;ve got one player that plays half the game and is playing some great hockey right now, and we gotta find a way to stop that. When we get into their zone, we have to hold pucks and nothing blind, and get shots to the goalie. That&#8217;s where they can have some trouble with some rebounds and lose coverage with that. Just have to have consistent O-zone shifts and not throw anything blind that can feed their transition.&#8221;</p>
