| Post-game Chatter |
- “[Danny Briere] competed tonight. This is what we asked from Danny. He played a really good game.”
- “It’s a process with [Alexei Emelin.] We will work with him. (Assistant coach) Jean-Jacques (Daigneault) is going to be spending a lot of time (with him.) It’s a good step. He was more physical (eight hits) and the reason he was more physical is that he was moving his feet.”
- “Chemistry (on a line) is hard to explain sometimes. To make sure that there is a chemistry and that you get success, from our standpoint, you must compete. That’s the number one thing. Danny (Briere) competed tonight.”
Forward Danny Briere:
- “It’s a good feeling. I felt like I’ve been waiting for a big game like that for a long time. It’s a good feeling to feel a part of the team, to feel like you’re helping out.”
Senators forward Mark Stone:
- “[My first NHL goal] was exciting. Carey Price is one of the best goalies in the League, so I’ll always have memories of that.”
Senators goalie Craig Anderson:
- “They came with a big push in the third and they took it to us a little bit. But after those two goals we weathered it and were able to push back a little bit, were able to generate some chances and draw a penalty going to the net hard. Our special teams were able to do the job tonight.”
