They Said It…
Rod Brind’Amour on the victory…
“I didn’t think we had a great first period, that’s for sure. But then we kind of got our game going. I didn’t like a lot of the stuff we were doing at times, but I think Bus had a lot of poise. He looked pretty calm in there and obviously played a great game for us.”
Nikolaj Ehlers discussing the two-goal second period, after Vegas had dominated second periods thus far this series…
“Our second periods up until today have been not good. Obviously, there were some things that we needed to change. I think today we were able to play a little more simple, making sure pucks were getting deep, and making sure we don’t just change without looking behind you. I think that worked out pretty well.”
Andrei Svechnikov after scoring two power play goals…
“I think we got to the simple things. The shooting mentality. Staalsy, the big horse just tipping pucks. We had a shooting mentality, looking for rebounds. I think we’ve got the chemistry going on.”
Jordan Staal when asked about another goal-scoring performance…
“It feels great. It’s a good time to get hot. I’m trying to contribute any way I can and just win games. The puck’s been going in, and I’ll continue doing all the things I have to do to help win games.”
Brandon Bussi following a second win in as many starts…
“We like our game right now. It’s fun to be a part of. We work hard, we sacrifice, we care about the guy next to each other. [It was] a good win tonight for us. We’ll enjoy tonight, and tomorrow we move on to Game 6.”
Sean Walker on being one win away from the Stanley Cup…
“It’s pretty crazy. But, it’s one win away. We’ll just go into Vegas with the same mindset that we’ve had all playoffs, play our game, and hopefully get the result we want.”
