 Post-game Chatter

Coach Michel Therrien:

  • “[After the Parros incident] you gotta regroup quick. Just bad luck what happened to George. You don’t see those things often. He fell on his chin. I heard that he was alert when he got to the dressing room. That’s a good thing.”
  • “Our character guys did a fantastic job tonight. I thought physically we were there.”
  • “I really liked the line with the young kids: Eller’s line with Galchenyuk and Gallagher. I thought those guys did a good job.  They got success tonight because they were skating, moving their feet. That’s the reason why they had success.”
  • “[Price] deserved better. I thought that he was solid. He made some key saves.”
  • “The execution from our team was not there. The execution with the puck cost us two goals. Execution without the puck, our focus was not there. We have to do a better job on Saturday.”
