Stoll postgame quotes

Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts…

(on keeping composure after the early goal…)
STOLL: “It was probably the worst situation possible, for a start. The building was going crazy. We had a lot of guys that were playing their first-ever playoff games, and the fire drill was on, for sure. We just tried to stay calm on the bench and just getting pucks in, keep shooting pucks in on their D, being physical and just having a north attitude with the puck. It slowly, slowly turned, and we started getting our game. We started getting our legs and we started finding our game. A lot of good things, a lot of positives out of tonight’s game.”

(on his hit on White…)
STOLL: “He was a little low there. I don’t know what he was doing, if he was reaching for a puck or what. He was right against the boards, too, and he was a little low. I just finished my check on him, and it ended up pretty bad for him. I hope he’s all right. You hate to see a guy get hurt, regular season or playoffs. I definitely wasn’t trying to hurt him.”

(on whether he’s worried about a suspension…)
STOLL: “I have no idea. I don’t now. There wasn’t a penalty on the call, so I’m not expecting anything.”

(on the intensity of overtime…)
STOLL: “We were going after it. Both teams were going hard and laying it all out there. There was a lot of battling going on, a lot of physical play. It was fun. It was just a fun game to be a part of. It’s tough that we lost it, but we’ve got to stay even-keel and don’t get too down. We did a lot of positive things in this game. After the first minute, with them scoring, it was a nightmare situation, and we got composed. We figured it out, we started moving the puck and getting it in deep and going after them. A lot of positives to go after for Game 2.”
