Chiarot on the importance of matchups against Tampa Bay, and the Lightning featuring some of their top snipers against less experienced Habs:
We have full confidence in our young players up front. We wouldn't be at this point in the playoffs if we didn't have full confidence in them and what they can do in our own end. There are matchups that we'd like to get, but that's not a luxury you have when you're on the road. We still believe in the guys that are going out there, and they can get the job done.
Petry on bouncing back in Game 2, just like the Canadiens did versus the Golden Knights:
It's one game of a seven-game series, so we have to use what we did in Vegas, that experience, that mindset, to rebound. We're going to watch some clips on what we can do better. I think everybody knows that our effort is there, but we can all bring a little bit more. That's what we did in Vegas, and that's what we're looking to do for Game 2.
Petry on the team's overall performance in the series-opener:
We had chances when the game was tighter. If we bury those chances, it's a different game. When they got their third and fourth goal, we started trying to force things and push things. They're a team that feeds off the transition and turnovers. When you're forcing things, that's what's going to happen. I don't think it was a blowout by any means. We can be better and we're looking to rebound for Game 2.
Anderson on the difficulty of getting into prime scoring areas:
They've got some big defensemen back there. It's not easy getting to the front of the net, but we've got to make it hard on them in some sort of way. Two turnovers on our part just increased their offense. They have a lot more confidence when we give them those opportunities.
