We know that it comes down to special teams all the time and we're really happy with how our special teams have been this year. We've always had a great penalty kill and this year we were able to bring our power play up. |
We talked about it in the locker room. |
We worked hard to get back in the game; we did everything we could to make it 3-2 and they found a way to chip in another goal. |
We'll really focus on our defensive game, keeping it tight like we have been of late. And a big key for us, because they have some explosive forwards, is trying to control the neutral zone. If we can do that, that'll stunt their offense, and pick up ours. |
We're not too tense. We have a good feeling. This opportunity doesn't come up every day. We're a bit of the underdog. But we know what we're up against. We've got to be calm and relaxed, go out and try to do it. |
