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.
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.
This was a good game on our part in the desperate part of the game.
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.
He (Miller) is so mentally tough. Despite not having any NHL playoff games under his belt, he'll respond well.
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.
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 definitely follow them in games like this.
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.
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.
Our power play certainly wasn't as sharp as it was the previous game. They got a couple of bounces in the second period and that's your game.
Just simple stuff, little 5-foot passes, simple passes, we were just missing them.
It exemplifies a little bit of our season. There's no quit no matter what's left on the clock or what the situation is.
