A lot of these games are won in your head. If some of your brain is distracted by the scoreboard or thinking the other team is better, it carves you up. We tell the guys, if you continue to do what you're supposed to do it will all work out.

They see the whole ice, and they really complement each other.

Once we got the two-goal lead, we were able to bottle them up and they really couldn't get out of their own end. Once we smothered them there, it was hard for them to recover.

Everyone was telling us what a rebuilding year we were going to have and here we are going farther than any team that's ever put the jersey on.

What's good about this team is that they're able to play with all the tension and anxiety that goes along with being down or being tied.
