They Said It:
Rod Brind'Amour'sopening remarks, post-game:
"We had some guys play really hard and really well. I actually thought the Aho line was really good, they just didn't get rewarded for what they were putting out there. I didn't love our second period, we were just flat and it kind of sucked the life out of us. I thought our third period was really good, just a couple weird bounces, right? Some weird things happened. Overall though, we weren't that great, but still in a position to win the game."
Jaccob Slavinon some of the identifying factors of the evening, Raanta and the penalty kill:
"Raants played unbelievable. Countless times he bailed us out. He bailed me out in the third period. We've got a really good penalty kill, but if you give skilled players that much time and that much ice, they're going to try and make plays. That's exactly what wound up happening."
Antti Raantadescribing his night:
"It was kind of easy to get to the game. They got the power play early on and they threw a lot of pucks in. It helps you get yourself into a rhythm and get inside the game. There were a lot of really good things, but then there were also some goals that maybe I'd like to do different things to try and make those saves. It was one of those games. There were a lot of good things, but if you let in four goals, you can always do a little bit better in your small details. It was a tough game though, they played really well."
What's Next?:
