What they were saying in the Flames dressing room this morning
ByDANIEL ROCCHI @D_Rocchi / calgaryflames.com
Michael Frolik on scoring in his third game back from injury:
Mark Giordano on the Flames home record versus road record:
"We play the same way. I think sometimes these stats are funny. We'd like to be better at home, that's for sure, but if you win some of the overtime ones and all that the record can look different. But in saying that, we have been really simple, really consistent on the road so hopefully that carries over."
Giordano on playing the Blackhawks in back-to-back games:
"Especially a team that's not in your division, I think it's kind of cool cause both games there's a lot of emotion, both teams are fighting to get into a playoff spot so they're big games, they're important. I kind of like playing the same team back-to-back, home-and-home, I've always enjoyed those ones."
"That's probably the most nervous I've been in a sporting event in a while here I think, since playoffs. I was really nervous when Tom got the ball there back with two minutes left but it was a big fumble there and they found a way to win; big defensive play."
Gaudreau on his defining memory of Super Bowl LII:
"The Foles touchdown on fourth-and-goal there, I just keep replaying it in my mind. We got to watch Tom miss a couple plays before then Foles gets to catch one for a touchdown so it was great."
Mark Jankowski on being motivated after being scratched last game:
"Obviously when I found out, I was pissed off, you know, I want to be out there and help the team win and I think I can do that. Obviously, I have to learn from it and I wasn't playing as well as I can be and I think sitting back and watching the game and it's going to help me in the future … you never want to get complacent in this league and I think a couple games where I didn't play as well as I wanted to and I think taking that seat back and watching the game it definitely is a wake-up call and shows that it's an everyday league and you gotta bring it every day in practice and every game and I think I definitely take it that way … you gotta take it the right way and next time I get in the lineup I just want to get back to playing how I know I can play and just start driving play and creating some chances and playing good D-zone so I think it's a really good opportunity for me."
Glen Gulutzan on the team's mindset ahead of their six-game road trip:
"I've said this before, we're comfortable going on the road. The mindset here is really on Chicago and that's where it was even a couple days ago; we knew we had two big games against Chicago and now we're going into their building and I'm sure we're going to get a different animal there too so we're just trying to prepare. We're going to take as much as we can from this [last] game and prepare for them. But nothing changes on the road; we're not going to look at the whole road trip, we're just going to look at Chicago."
