Rod Brind'Amouroffering thoughts on the goaltender interference review of Jake DeBrusk's goal during the second period, which tied the game for Boston...
"I would have bet my life on that one. It's tough. The review we saw after, it's in between his pads loose and I'm all good with that, but the guy comes from the side, pushes his pad, squirts the puck out and taps it in. Little different if the guy had come from the front and was playing the puck. You can't play the puck when it's between the goalie's legs from the side and knock the goalie sideways. If you can, then I don't know how Niederreiter's goal from the first game when they said 100% not a goal. It's frustrating because it feels like we're living this from four years ago. It's tough. They're too good of a team to just give them goals.
Brett Pesceon why the team found themselves shorthanded so many times today...
"It's playoffs, emotions run high. Some of them we obviously don't mean to, like the high sticks, it's unfortunate, but those happen. It just so happens that we took a few like that. Look at Game One, they took all the penalties. I think it all evens out in the end and it comes down to our five-on-five. We just have to stick to that.
Vincent Trocheckexpressing his emotions, post-game...
"They're a good team, right? We're both here fighting for the Stanley Cup. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We didn't come here thinking they were just going to roll over and let us win these two games. Obviously we'd like to stay out of the box, but it is what it is. It's a tough game and they're a good team. Luckily it's a seven-game series and it's a best-of-three now. We have a chance to go home and make it 1-0.
