Kirill Marchenko with a funny moment during an interview as he finds out the Calgary Flames are getting a new arena and this will be his last time playing at the Saddledome. #Flames #Leafs

Jim Hiller reflects on his favourite memory at the Saddledome, recalling what he believes was his first NHL game back in 1992: “I think I played my first NHL game here in this rink. Yeah, so that would have to be it. That was way back in '92. So yeah, that would be it. I think I'm right about that. I should know that for sure, shouldn't I? It's been a long time, but I believe that was it. I just remember, yeah it was great. You're out there and it's the NHL. It's the greatest thing in the world to be part of the NHL.” Reporter: “It was roughly a new building back then.” Hiller: “It was. I think it was one of the nicest. I think at that time, here [in Calgary] and Joe Louis [in Detroit] were the two kind of big rinks that everybody was talking about as being the nicest rinks back then. So times have changed, and it looks like a beautiful building going up next door here.” #Flames #Leafs

Glen Gulutzan on Mikko Rantanen's importance to the Dallas Stars, calling him the team's “emotional leader”: “He does it every night for us. He's kind of our emotional leader, and he's our swag a little bit. You look at the big games before this, just important goals and the hat tricks. The biggest thing with Rants for me as a coach is just to make sure that that emotion stays in check, right? Because you don't need him, you know, last year he had some penalties and some hits. So if he stays in that emotional range, he's one of the best.” #TexasHockey

Connor Bedard on how the Chicago Blackhawks can use frustration to their advantage: “I think just kind of try to channel it. There's gonna be frustration. We're 3-8. So if there's no frustration, then that's even worse than too much frustration. But you got to use that in the next game and try to dig ourselves out. I think when you play with that edge, you play a little better. If we can do that the rest of the year, that'd be great.” #Blackhawks

Paul Maurice on what makes Matthew Tkachuk such a good playmaker and shares a funny story from practice: “It's his hands. He is so good in that department. I would say his brain first, but as it kind of informs what he does with his hands. He's one of the rare people that doesn't tip pucks. And I don't know, I'm just going to use my words. He doesn't tip pucks. He directs them. Like he's putting them in a place, and I've seen him do it. First year we were together, I don't know why, but we were in Jackson Hole practicing, and we play this two-on-two game. And a guy's going after him, so it's an in-zone game, a guy's going after him on the wall, and he's probably six, seven, or eight inches from the boards, and he rips it off the glass, spins around, picks it up on the way down, puts it through the other defender's feet and scores, and that ended practice. I just blew the whistle. That was it. I'd never seen anything like that before. He does that a lot in tight areas. I think he can keep his eye on the puck. There's no fear in the man, so he's not trying to get out of the way unless it's Gud's [Radko Gudas] shot. So he has this incredible set of hands and patience with the puck. One thing about Matthew is he's better this year than he's ever been. He's faster than he's ever been. So he's improved. It's also the first summer in four where he actually got to train, because he was injured on the two others. He rehabbed, but he didn't train. And then he put a lot of good work in this summer, so a little quicker. And in the game of hockey, we're talking about five or six inches. If you can create that, if you can find it, you can make that. These guys can make that play, and that's what we're seeing from him.” #FlaPanthers

Quinn Hughes on recording his 500th career NHL point against his former team, the Vancouver Canucks: “I don't know, maybe. I wasn't thinking about it like that. I just wanted to get a win. Obviously, we dropped the game in Calgary, so it was important to get four points here. I think just seeing the fans and being able to play here again was pretty cool for me. But I don't think, as far as 500 points, it just, wherever that happened, it happened.” #MNWild

Auston Matthews praises Troy Stecher for stepping up in Chris Tanev's absence and the energy he brings to the Toronto Maple Leafs: “He's been great. Just the energy that guys brings, he's definitely at the top of the list, or one of the guys at the top of the list, just coming to the rink every day and having fun and competing. He definitely wears it on the ice, scoring big goals, making big plays. He brings a lot of passion each and every night, and it's something that all of us really appreciate.” #Leafs

Troy Stecher praises Auston Matthews' commitment to playing defensively and explains why he's one of the best players in the world: “I think first and foremost, a guy like that, you see how committed he is defensively at the start of the game. It's incredible. It'd be easy for him to kind of cheat the game and try to look for offense. I think a lot of people don't realize that a lot of your offense comes from good defense and not playing in your own zone. He's always above their guys. He's in between their player and our net, and he's hard on pucks. So he's our captain for a reason and one of the best players in the world for a reason. He was amazing tonight for us [against Edmonton].” #Leafs
