“ I've never seen anything like it, and it's just a tribute to the fan base. (Rangers fans) are unbelievable. ”
- Rick Nash
“ I had a good feeling because we were doing so many good things. It was a great challenge to go out here on the road, down one goal, and it was just so rewarding to see the puck go in after all the hard work. ”
- Henrik Lundqvist
“ We didn't get frustrated or impatient. We just kept playing, kept going. We knew eventually we would find a way to squeak one through. I think the atmosphere on the bench was that we weren't going to be denied. ”
- Derek Stepan
