On Todd McLellan’s consistent praise for the team’s comeback mentality
Yeah, [Todd] just texted me and said they don’t want to do it the easy way. There’s a lot of character in the room. Those two goals in the second period kind of came off our stick. I thought the first was really strong, it looked a lot like us. The second, they’re a good team, they’re 7-3 in their last 10 games, I think I read they’re the third highest scoring team since the end of January. If you give them chances, they’re not going to miss and they didn’t. I thought the guys stuck with it, it was making sure that we didn’t try to chase it too quickly and do our thing. Brownie’s goal was a bit of a relief on the bench, I think they could feel that maybe there was an opportunity.
On Viktor Arvidsson and his ability to get into high-danger areas
Well, he’s nice to have on your team, because when I was in Anaheim, he was in a yellow sweater and he used to do that a lot. He’s an opportunist, he’s got a great release on his shot. He scored three, he hit the crossbar and hit the post, it was following him around a little bit and it was a nice move in overtime as well.
On the players impacted by the line adjustments made for this game
I thought that JAD was really good, it’s his first game and I thought he skated well. Moving Al down gave that line a little bit more stability and I thought Byfield was skating well, trying to get some things accomplished, which was good, and Brownie’s goal was a big goal in the third period.
On the emotions of overtime, and realizing they’d get a second chance
From my vantage point, I couldn’t really see whether it was offsides, and as soon as they scored [Derik Johnson] said “whoa whoa” and as soon as I looked down, you could see it was clearly offsides. We tried to keep positive on the bench that we’re going to get another opportunity here, so let’s reset and get ready to go. It was nice for the guys to finish it off like that.
On Jonathan Quick’s third period play, and his breakaway save
The breakaway save was huge. I think if they score there, obviously, it’s a different game. That was a really, really big save and I think the guys really fed off of that one as well.
