"I think it's everybody, honestly, not only me," Zadorov said of Boston being tougher to play against. "It was funny. Before the game, I was scrolling through my YouTube and then I saw the highlights from the Stanley Cup Final games in 2011 against Vancouver. I watched all of them, and it was a nasty, a really physical, really hard to play against team. "So I think that's the identity we want to bring back to Boston."
"Fun but also a bit nice to have it done now," Backstrom told Gelfe Dagblad after the game, as translated by Google Translate. "I hope we can play a more complete match, it would feel good for the confidence before the SHL premiere next Saturday."
