#Flames LW Matthew Tkachuk was "fine" with Doughty's hit on him in the third period: "I had a three-on-two and I kind of said, ‘whatever with the three-on-two’ and it was the first time we kind of had a one-on-one... so I let the puck go and was going to engage with him. He kind of went low on me … I don’t care. That’s how some of those guys hit me. We both didn’t do too much until that point of the game, to be honest.”
Tkachuk placed blame on himself for the emotionless game: "I think the game lacked passion from the start. That was kind of lacking from my end from the start.”

#Flames captain Mark Giordano: “That’s the only good thing that came out of this game — we’re playing tomorrow and we have to regroup. That was nowhere near what our team is about. It felt like, for whatever reason, we had no push back in this game.”

#Flames head coach Bill Peters: “We weren’t good enough … we weren’t invested in the game and we got what we deserved.”
