POST-GAME QUOTES
John Tortorella on today’s game…
“I like the way we played when the game was there. I thought we played well defensively. I thought we played well. I think this is an important step for a team to make in the last game of a home stand. We win a game on a 4-on-4 (in overtime) which we didn’t too often last year against Buffalo and win another one at home…that is what I am focusing on…how we approached it and I thought we did a pretty good job of that today.”
Marian Gaborik on today’s game…
“I felt good. It is a relief when you get one under your belt in the first period. I felt good and hopefully I can keep it up.”
Martin Biron on today’s game…
“In the first period, both teams were just feeling each other out. We ended up being in a hole early in the second and that is when the guys stepped it up. They played extremely well on both sides of the ice.
