Gerard Gallant met with the media on Monday and said (NYR):

• Are you relieved or excited, “It was exciting, obviously last night was a great night for us, and nice to be doing the media today because we are still playing. It was a great win, exciting win and I’m real happy we have today off, today is a good day off for us and we don’t gotta play until Wednesday and that was huge for us. “
• What was it like in the locker room, “real excited, the guys were excited to win. Anytime you go into OT in Game 7 and you are on the winning end of it is an exciting time. They were definitely happy.”

Gerard Gallant met with the media following the win in Game 7 and said (MSG, TBS, NYR):

• On the game, “seems like we’ve done that quite a few times this year. We trail going into the third period and we find a way to get back so it wasn’t a big deal for us. Obviously the game is a big deal, but we’ve been a real, good third period team.”
