Marchant told NBC’s Darren Pang after the game that “guys battled all night. It’s like we said during intermission, it’s going to take one little break somewhere, here or there. Forunately for us it happened early. I saw the defenseman slide over to his right, my left, I slid back the to right side. Fortunately for me (the shot) went in the net.”
Asked about the challenge of playing 101 minutes of hockey, Marchant replied, “we said that our practices are harder than what we have to play right now — Teemu (Selanne) actually said that.”
