Dillon on radio intermission interview (paraphrased):
- feeling pretty good, it's underrated how much a couple days of practice can do for a time, going back to basics, making sure everyone is on the same page with the system
- [defensive focus?] staple for our game, when we're at our best, we're defending well, having good sticks, breaking out
- [on DeMelo] as long as we can help each other to get better, that's the bottom line, the "Dilly Dilly" combo's working well
- [on joining the rush] skating is our strong suit, up and down the D corps, we can help out offensively, when you have a 4 man attack, it makes for headaches on the defensive side
Ryan on TV intermission interview:
- legs feel good, I think we're pretty rested, overall good period by us, gotta keep it up in the 2nd
- [on games ratcheting up in intensity] it's super fun, so tight in the standings, every game's huge, we gotta keep going, bring our best effort every night
