This game was played in spurts. If we could've kept it tied with five minutes to play, we could've gotten a win tonight.
We have a lot of good character guys in the room that care about winning and care about each other. We have probably five, six, seven, eight nine guys that are like that, so I think we're OK in that department.
We had to win this one. Everybody knows playoff momentum shifts real quickly. I think we'll wake up (this) morning and take the approach that we have to go in there and win a hockey game.
I think they played a great road game. They did everything I'm sure they wanted to do and we didn't do the things we needed to do to win a hockey game.
I think the team that has the best chemistry, plays like a team the most, is going to have the opportunity to win the most games. I don't think teams have the luxury to have more than three stars on a team anymore. I think that's the bottom line.
It's a swing game for both us. It's as much desperation for us as it is for them. It is a scary lead, 2-0, because it is a momentum shift. We have to treat it like it is 1-1 and try to dictate the flow.
