Post-Game Quotes:
- John Tortorella on tonight’s game…
“I think we’ve done better as the series has gone on. I thought tonight’s game was a game of momentum swings for both teams. One thing I like about our team the past couple of games is that we certainly have bent at times but didn’t break. I think our resiliency has really shown in these past two games and we are going to need that when we go to Washington. They are going to surge there and we just need to find a way to keep our heads above water and find a way to win a game.”
- Henrik Lundqvist on tonight’s game…
“It was close again. A big win for us though – much, much needed. I thought again we played a great game. They just kept coming back, but we did so many good things. You can see the confidence; we made a lot of good plays and I thought we deserved this one.”
- Ryan Callahan on the series…
“These are two big wins here. We have to keep the momentum and keep the confidence rolling. It’s a tough building to play in, they play good there, but we feel good now.”

edit: OH now I remember...he was the guy skating in backwards on Holtby....Man Boyle gave me such hugh hopes for this games....any time Nash wants to start scoring, that would be great, k thanks. and not pinning it all on Nash, we KNOW he could dazzle, but it would be nice to get some goals now
If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

I seem to remember a Capital taking a run at Staal.
Of course it went totally unanswered and or accounted for.

McDonagh calls Staal's decision to not play because he didn't feel he could help team "humble" and "gutsy."
