Anytime you give up a lead in a game, the next one seems like every play is life or death.
composure game huge knew lead life needed next pressure seems time toughest type
Any time you play a game and give up a lead the next (game) seems like every play is life or death. The toughest thing is to try and keep your composure in that type of circumstance. We knew we really needed it. We didn't want to put too much pressure on it but this was a huge game for us.

We checked well in the third period and made good plays under pressure in our zone.

We're going to win games on emotion here,
game goals great walk
It was two pretty opportunistic goals by them. That's going to happen. They're a great team. You can't walk away with a game when it's these guys.

They are so dynamic on the rush. You have to try and slow them down, and we like what we have done so far.

It was incredible, really. When you're the home team in something like that, it's not hard to run around and make stupid plays.

call
We don't call it that. We call it pressing.

There is only so much you can do with that much talent on the ice.
