EK on TV postgame interview:
- it was a good win, they're the top team in the league, we don't wanna make it easy coming into our building, so I thought we did a good job early, we kept our foot on the gas
- [on his 2nd goal] I got a good pass going down the wing there from Dilly, kinda gave a bit of a fake shot there, was able to sneak it 5-hole
EK on radio postgame interview:
- I think that we played well, they're a really good team obviously, they're fun to watch, they're playing hockey the way it's meant to be played I think, it's a treat to be able to play against them, I think everybody was ready to go today, we did what we felt we had to do to be successful and came away with two big points
- [how is it meant to be played?] play with possession, not throwing pucks away, trying to create things out there, it's not always going to go the way you want, but at least make mistakes the right way; I think that both teams played well, but at the end of the day, we beared down a little bit more, we got the saves when we needed from Joner, he was great for us today, we took the opportunities that they gave us and we put the puck in the net
- [on playing a lot of minutes] every game is different, we know today that we're gonna have to play a lot of minutes, it's something that luckily I've been able to do for a long period of time in this league, it's just fun, you wanna play out there, you wanna be out there and help your team win, it's no different today, I think everybody who got the time that they got on the ice I think did a great job with it, and that's what we're gonna need all year long
- [on pairing w/ Dillon] he's a great player, we make good reads out there, I feel like we think the game the same way, that's the most important thing, I know what to expect out of him and he knows what to expect out of me, it makes it easy for us out there to make those good reads and find that chemistry
