Coach Michel Therrien
- “I really believe attitude is very important, how you’re going to face adversity. We decided to stay positive as a coaching staff with our players and make sure that inside our hockey team there was no sign of panic, to show all together we had confidence in the group.”
Forward Brendan Gallagher
- “[Carey Price] has bailed us out a lot lately. He played an awesome game, and we’re pretty lucky to have him.”
Hurricanes captain Eric Staal
- “We seemed to be out of gas a little bit. You never want to use that as an excuse, but we have played a lot of hockey here. If we were really feeling good and jumping we would have had a little bit better of an attack. But when we did get chances, (Carey) Price was real good, he made a lot of key saves. I felt like if we got one we could maybe make them tense up a little bit, but unfortunately we weren’t able to. Carey was keeping them out.”
Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty
- “We couldn’t break the wall in their net.”
