POST-GAME - QUOTABLES - 17.10.18

Frolik on his two-goal game:

Tkachuk on defending the Bruins' top line:

"It was tough. They're one of the best lines in the league and they've been doing it for a few years now. There's not much to say there. They're all elite players. We just had to play close together and play as a line in tight, making those quick little plays against them. You can't play one-on-one hockey against them. ... It was a challenge for line, but I think we were up to it."

Valimaki on his first NHL goal:

"It's awesome. Unbelievable, really. I saw lots of guys going to the net, so I figured it was the right play and it had a good chance. I got a bit of a lucky bounce, but I'll take it. When I grew up, I usually pictured scoring the Stanley Cup-winning goal in overtime. Game 7. But you don't get there without getting your first, and I definitely practiced that one, too."

Coach Peters on Valimaki:

"Juuso was good. Juuso's been good for a long time. We've played him a lot, him and (Dillon Dube), going back to the pre-season. He's played a lot of hockey up until this point and he hasn't slowed down."

Peters on the 3M Line:

"That line's got a history. When people have a history and a little bit of a track record, they have a little longer leash. That line was very good tonight. They ended up with three goals, with Chucky getting the empty-netter. Fro also had a short-handed breakaway that he made a good move on, but it was a good save by Rask. That line was very good. They matched up and played 90% of their shifts head-to-head against the Bergeron line and did a real good job."

Peters on the victory:

"There was good composure after 40 minutes. We had that 58-second (5-on-3) that we had to come out and kill. I thought we were pretty efficient in that, and from there on, I thought it was pretty workmanlike throughout the lineup. I liked the contributions from everybody."
