Good Season, Bitter Ending: "Throughout the year, it's been all four lines that's been helping out. It's really a team effort and we embraced it. We felt like we had a team that could be competitive throughout the whole playoffs, so it stinks a little bit."

The Gourde-Bjorkstrand-Tolvanen Line: "I feel like our communication within the line was really good. Most of the time we're really on the same page, which is huge.It's a challenge playing against some of the best players in the league, trying to shut them down, (and) at the same time also getting some goals. We took a lot of pride in it, and mentally understanding how to play against the lines.

"We did a really good job against Colorado. I think in the Dallas series, maybe some games we could have been a little bit better. So definitely going to learn from that and mentally just get prepared for keeping that consistency up."

Oliver Heard The Cheers: "I felt that when I got here. You see people walking around with the hats and jerseys and so on. It was fun for the city that we're able to go win a series and make a second round appearance. That was exciting as well. I mean, you could hear it in the arena."
