They're a team you can't fall behind on. They play that defensive system. If you fall behind early it's an uphill battle and you exert a lot of energy trying to claw your way back. |
To let it slip like that is disappointing. |
We can enjoy this, but we didn't work hard all year to win one playoff series. We're going to keep going and see how far we can take this. |
We didn't want to put any energy in. We didn't show up tonight. We didn't work tonight. |
We fell behind 2-0 to those guys and played right into their hands. |
We gave them a lot of momentum early. It's tough to climb out of that hole. |
We got off to a tough start again. We continue to shoot ourselves in the foot and have to claw our way back. We had chances in the second and third period but came up a little short. |
We had a few different plans, actually. It just depended on where the puck was going to be. 'Pies' made a great play just to be able to bump it back, and I just took out my driver and swung at it, and fortunately the puck went between his legs. |
We had some great chances in the third, but weren't able to capitalize. |
We have a chance to take a stranglehold on the series. |
We kind of got thrown under the bus after the first game. But we really stuck together. We saw our team evolve and develop into the team you saw at the end. Everybody was on the same page and playing great. |
We knew exactly what we were coming up against. They may have lost 13 in a row, but they were in every one of those games. |
We want to keep teams back on their heels. |
We were a little bit more aggressive and they weren't taking quite as many shots from outside as they did in Game 1. We were just closing a little quicker. If you don't give them that time and space, they're not going to be able to get it to the net. |
We'll go in blind and, hopefully, won't show them too much respect. |
