"We know what we have, and we knew we were playing a strong hockey game. We didn't give them much. We gave them that Grade A and they were able to capitalize, but we were still creating chances. A lot of good saves by their goaltender. It takes a bounce for us to go up in that game, but it felt like the hard work made us deserve that bounce." -- Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty
"That's the tough part, right? It's one of those things that we have to learn from and just try not to let that happen again. It's great that we battled back, and you have to look at the positives like that. You have to think, 'OK, maybe a better start and maybe we win that game,' and that doesn't even matter. You just have to look at the positives, look at how we played in the second and third. That's our game. That's how we have to play." -- Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane
