There would be games where he would absolutely dominate and then he'd come to the locker room and tell us how poorly he had played.
There would be games he dominated and afterward he'd be saying how bad he played. He's never satisfied.
That was a pretty good effort right from the start. We've come a long way. The beatings they put on us were the low point, but we responded and stuck together, and to come out with a game like that is pretty nice to see.
Our schedule is extremely condensed, but I think a lot of it is just keeping your focus, especially if you get on a good roll. You've just got to focus each and every game and get prepared mentally and physically for the next outing, because there's not much time between games.
They've been skating the heck out of him. Obviously, a game is different than practice, but he's been working extremely hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he slides right in and does well right off the bat.
I think it was exactly what we needed. Hopefully, it translates (tonight). I don't know if payback is the right word, but it's nice when you get blown out like that to have a game right away against the same team.
I think it starts with goaltending. They've been giving us great games and we have a lot of confidence to play our game and do the things we need to do offensively.
This was a good game on our part in the desperate part of the game.
He (Miller) is so mentally tough. Despite not having any NHL playoff games under his belt, he'll respond well.
I definitely follow them in games like this.
We got some bounces that went our way. It was a pretty ugly game.
These European teams are well-oiled machines. They get up by a goal and it's lockdown time.

We wanted to go out with a bang. We wanted to give our fans something to remember before we went away. I was pretty proud of our team.
