Post-Game Quotes

Blue Jackets Head Coach Scott Arniel
Commenting on tonight's game…
"All the stuff the Blackhawks did we showed this morning on video. That was an egg by us and system-wise we were as loose as we've been since (we started). All 20 players had a tough night tonight. Give Chicago credit, they jumped on top of every mistake we made."

Commenting on bouncing back from tonight's loss…
"A lot of good things were happening (prior to tonight) and I knew everything wasn't going to come in one fell swoop and there was going to be step back. I was hoping it wouldn't be this game, but it's how we respond moving forward."

Blue Jackets Right Wing Rick Nash
Commenting on tonight's game…
"They took it to us. It was an eye opener for us for sure." Blue Jackets Center R.J Umberger Commenting on tonight's game…

"We weren't sharp. We didn't execute and we were not sharp at all. You can say it was because we had so many days off, but bottom line, you have to go out there and do our job. The home opener especially you have to make it count."

Blackhawks Head Coach Joel Quenneville
Commenting on the win…
"It was nice. We had some production tonight. There are still some areas that we can improve in, but it was a good road win for us. It was good to bounce back after a real tough loss."
