They Said It…
Rod Brind’Amour summarizing the victory…
“Obviously, it started out great, getting the goal to start the game. That gets you feeling good about things. We had a couple of mistakes that they ended up capitalizing on, but really, throughout the game, I thought we were solid. [Freddie] had a couple of big saves, [we] had a couple of special plays from a few guys. Overall, it was a great effort.”
Jordan Martinook giving his thoughts on the win…
“They had their push there in the second [period], but we just stuck with our game the whole way through. I think we had a really good plan to go up against what they do really well. All four lines were going and doing their thing. When we’re doing that, we’re a hard team to beat. Everybody was chipping in tonight, and it was a great game.”
Rod Brind’Amour on Seth Jarvis’ first career fight…
“He’s trying to stand up for his buddy. You always appreciate that. That’s not really his game, we don’t really want him doing that, but I love that he’s willing to do it… Good on him.”
Frederik Andersen sharing his thoughts on having all of the Moms on hand for the win…
“It’s great. It’s hard to get all the way over here, and it’s really special to have all of our moms here. For me, personally, to have my mom be a part of it, it’s awesome. We’ve enjoyed ourselves, and I’m sure they have to.”
Jordan Martinook on scoring the game-winner in front of his special guest, his sister, Ashlee…
“I just like having my people around. I always get choked up. I just love having family around. She’s obviously five years older than me and kind of like a second mom my whole life. She spent hours and hours in the rink with me and probably had some times along the way where she wanted to go do things, but she came and was riding shotgun to my dream. I just appreciate her, and I love her so much. It’s a special bond.”
