"I liked our start. I thought we did some things that we wanted to do, we asserted ourselves right off the bat and played the game at the pace that we wanted to play," Edmonton coach Jay Woodcroft said after the game. "Part of that was how we managed pucks, and part of it was the way the game played itself out."
McDavid added: "We played a lot faster, I thought we were more connected, I thought we were a little bit more aggressive, you know, all the things that we’ve been building toward."
