Game 1
“I think we’re good enough. I don’t think we need to back down. I think we have to keep pushing the pace, keep playing hard. Like I said, we have to win Game 2 and go back to Staples and just keep playing well.”
-Tyler Toffoli
Game 2
“I don’t think he said too much, just because when Darryl doesn’t come in and say too much, that means he’s mad at us. That tells us we’re not playing well and we need to do something about it. If he’s just staring at us in the room and making little comments like ‘Oh, Toews is the best player in the world’ or things like that, then we know he’s not happy and we need to do something about it.”
-Drew Doughty
Game 3
“Clearly they want it really badly.”
-Jonathan Toews
Game 4
“We just have to win one hockey game. That’s what our focus will be. We’re excited to head back now and look at the positives knowing that we’re going to be back in our building. Just win one hockey game. I know it’s easier said than done, but I think we’re going to be excited to play that game back home.”
-Duncan Keith
Game 5
“We were into it. Everyone is into it. We weren’t even sitting down on the bench, most of us.”
-Justin Williams
Game 6
“Fly at 11.”
-Darryl Sutter
Game 7
“The story is how we were able to come back and how resilient we were, how awesome this series was to play and be a part of. It was just fitting. It ended in Game 7 in an overtime.”
-Justin Williams
