We wanted to go on the playoffs on a roll. This was a big game for them (Carolina). We knew they'd be fired up. Our challenge was to keep the shifts short and make sure we could maintain a good pace in the game. Our puck movement was excellent, we skated real well and took advantage of several turnovers.
