Erik Karlsson on radio postgame interview:
- I think we stuck with it, I do believe we played a well-played game until 5 minutes left in the 2nd period when we gave them that 3-2 goal, they took over a little bit, we put ourselves on our heels, but we found a way to stick with it, and even though we weren't feeling our best in the 3rd, we stuck with it and hanged in with them and took it to overtime and got a well-deserved win I think
- [fatigue factor in 3rd period?] I don't think so, I think guys are feeling great, I think we struggle a little bit when we start games really good, take an early lead, we [kinda/cannot?] let the other team back in the game and put ourselves in bad spots, it's something we gotta work on here moving forward, we did the same thing in Carolina, that's our bigger factor here now going home, trying to figure that stuff out
- [getting more comfortable w/ new team?] yeah, I think it's getting better every day, guys have been great, coaches have been great, they've been trying to do everything they can to help me out, just gonna get better as the season goes on here
Meier on TV postgame interview:
- I think it was a really good start, in the 3rd period we let them come back, but it's obviously a huge win for us, and to finish off this road trip with a win, I think it was a successful trip for us
- [on how the team reacted after the game was tied] we stick with it, after they come back, it's obviously tough on the road at the end of a road trip, it's all about staying positive, keep going, we knew if we do the right things we're gonna get a bounce our way, it's a huge win for us, two huge points which is what we wanted, now we're able to go back home and start there
- [on his GWG] it was a great pass by Donskoi there, I was all alone in front of the net, didn't bury it at first, but we both stuck with it, kept on banging on it, lucky enough it ended up right there on my stick and I was able to jam it in
- [on his line] I think we're just mostly having fun out there, we're working hard in all three zones, those are two tremendous players, so for me I'm trying to create some space for them, go down low, get them some pucks, I think we play well together, like on the 2nd goal, Couture made a great pass to me, we're helping each other and it makes us help the team
