Tyler Toffoli praised the courage of Michael Pezzetta. Jeff Petry did the same. In the third period, Pezzetta sought to avenge Samuel Montembeault by rushing on Zack Kassian. The curly-haired winger lost his fight, even ending up in the Oilers’ net. But he won points with his teammates.
“Pez got up. He did a good job. What he did was not easy, but he did it. All the players in this locker room saw what he did. »
–Tyler Toffoli
“We know what Pez brings to the team, the type of player he is. He understood the situation. He does not hesitate to defend his teammates. It’s good of him to have the guts to go after a guy like Kassian. »
–Jeff Petry
Jeff Petry didn’t have a good game in the body. Once again. He was not the only one in the CH camp. The American admitted that the level of commitment was not at the top against the Oilers.
“I believe we have the right intentions to start the matches. But tonight, we were moving away from it. I thought we felt beaten before the end. No matter the score, we must not stop. There are things you can control. There are times when we feed the other team. There are still several matches to the rest of the season. It’s up to us to play better. We need to find some energy. You have to forget the results. We will not give up. »
