Jim Hiller on Gavin McKenna's limited TOI:
"The big thing is penalties. He doesn’t get to play, we get into the [intermission], now he hasn’t played for 30 some odd minutes. We talked about getting him out in the third & then I guess it didn’t just happen, but that’s on me."

Gavin McKenna on first game vs Nathan MacKinnon:
"It's pretty crazy to see what he does & how fast he is & just the way he kind of controls the game in a way. Pretty crazy to watch & definitely a big motivator for me to hopefully be there one day"

Kirill Marchenko: "I feel fine. Not awesome & I know I can play better for sure"
In which ways can he be better?
"It's a good question. If I start to explain to you it takes an hour (🙂). Yeah, it's just kind of everywhere. Everywhere a little bit"
