Quotable
Lalonde wins in overtime on Thursday
“We won a few games like this, but I really felt like we got what we deserved. We played against a very good team and I enjoyed most of the games that night.”
Larkin scored two points against Avalanche.
“That’s two points and everything counts the same at the moment. We needed them. We started the game a little slow, but that’s normal coming back from a (Western Canada road trip). Yo. Everybody fought, every guy on the bench that played tonight participated. We defended. Lyon came up big again and made a big save to keep us in the game. In the second, we moved our feet and played. , got the cycle going. Scored a big goal off the power play, scored a point, then scored another point. The big team will win tonight.”
Larkin talks about Chiarot’s play in overtime this week
“He was a bit of an overtime assassin. That’s what he called himself in the room. Again, we have talent, we have talent on our roster. He’s a little more consistent. But he blocks shots, plays hard and protects his teammates. When you see a guy like that make big plays, it’s a big motivator.”
Larkin talks about Detroit’s offensive depth this season
“It’s huge and something we’ve never experienced before. We have players on every line who can put the puck in the back of the net. It’s a committee scoring. Everyone’s contributing. I feel like it’s huge that we’re all pulling in the same direction, and we’ll continue to need that.”
Kane talks about what impresses him most about the Red Wings
“I think depth is the biggest draw and that’s how you win in this league. Every team I’ve ever been on has won and we had depth. That night. , we didn’t know whose turn it would be to step up and be the hero for the team, and I think that’s kind of the position we’re in right now. At any time, it could happen to anyone. It seems like there is.”
