Postgame Quotes
Anaheim Ducks
Ryan Getzlaf
On coming away with one point
I was happier with our start tonight although we came away down two (goals). We took some penalties and stuff again in the first which doesn't allow you to get any rhythm in the hockey game, but we did a good job battling back and getting that point.
On playing in his 1,000th NHL game and his tribute during the first period
It was great. Obviously the crowd, this is our home building and I've been here a long time, and it was a very warm welcome. A little emotional during the game and a little bit embarrassing. I'm not very good at those things, but it was great to see the family and having everybody here.
Nick Ritchie
On tonight's game
There were some good things in the game, I guess. We came back from two goals and tied it, got into overtime and then lost in overtime. We got a point so it wasn't all bad, but we would've liked to have two.
On getting a better start tonight
Yeah, after one (period) we were down two to nothing. I don't think that was necessarily how the game went. We took a few penalties which hurt us. They scored on the power play, but I think for most of the period we had some good chances and took it to them a bit 5-on-5. Obviously, their power play was good in the first.
Head coach Dallas Eakins
On tonight's game
I thought our start was better, but then the penalties took away from that. Again, it just seemed like a sleepy game. Obviously, them playing last night was an opportunity for us to really jump on them hard. I'm not sure we quite accomplished what we wanted there, but always good to come back and get back in the game.
On how meaningful it is for Getzlaf to play 1,000 NHL games
I think it's probably been a great privilege for everyone around here watching that young man grow up. He's been given much by the organization and he's given everything that he has back. To play 1,000 games in one jersey is a very hard thing to do and we are all very, very proud of his accomplishment.
Chicago Blackhawks
Adam Boqvist
On scoring his first NHL goal
It's a dream. All of us look up to scoring your first goal and playing in the NHL. It happened.
On what scoring did for his confidence
I don't know, I just got more nervous after I scored that goal. Of course it's nice to get the first out of the way. Everyone wants to score their first goal. I'm just gonna keep playing.
Patrick Kane
On how bad they needed that overtime goal
It's always nice to score, it's nice to score in overtime, nice for the team to get a win. Three out of four points in this California swing so far, it's a good start.
On if it's nice getting a positive feeling in the locker room
Absolutely, didn't really have the greatest start to the season. Obviously, we're trying to hang in there, hang tough, and play the way that we need to, to win hockey games. I thought we did a lot of good things tonight, and some things we could still do better.
Head coach Jeremy Colliton
On the game
Obviously very happy that we got the win. Happy for the guys to feel good. We got a day off tomorrow, so a little mental health for them I think. I thought we had an excellent start. Really liked the beginning of the game. We were much cleaner with the puck on the breakout and that helped us to spend less time in our end. We draw a couple penalties, come through on the powerplay.
On how big it was to get two points tonight
We've had a lot of things go against us it seems like, particularly that home stretch where I thought we played pretty well. We just could not seem to put it together as far as results go, and ultimately those points are what allow you to kind of breathe easy and gain a little confidence in your game.
