confidence guys knowing
That has to give our guys confidence knowing that we can come over here and get a win.
certainly earned excel good guys hard notoriety players team thankful toward work
I think each one of them has certainly earned it. The better your team does, the more notoriety you are going to get. The guys who have made the all-star game, they put in the hard work for it, but should be just as thankful toward their teammates. Without good players around you, you don't get to excel like that.
defenders good guys hooks job scoring year
Your guys that have scored all year should be scoring in the playoffs, too. (Sioux Falls') two big defenders were doing a good job on them with hooks and holds, but they always find a way to score.
al captain effort guys hurt john leadership losing number quiet standpoint time whether
I think it hurt us number one from a leadership standpoint because John was our captain and Al . . . was a quiet leader with his effort he'd give every day. It hurt us defensively losing two experienced guys like that. Unfortunately, it coincided with the time we went through a slump. Whether that was part of it or not, I'm not sure.
extra fourth guys line lower output third
That extra output from guys lower in your lineup makes the difference. We have guys on that third or fourth line that can score.
close guys looking month room took
Everyone was looking around the room for someone else to do it and someone else doesn't play for our team. I think it took close to a month for some other guys to reassert themselves.
finals great ship
It's great for our organization. To get the ship righted and play in the finals is big.

There was one team prepared to play tonight and one team that wasn't. The team that was up 2-0 was prepared.
individual nice
It's a nice individual accolade if he can get it.
chicago matter prepared stressed year
It was just a matter of Chicago being more prepared to play tonight. We've stressed all year that we have to take it game-by-game.
breathing call game gives room
They have a game in hand, but this gives us some breathing room ? if you can call it that.

Over a 60-game schedule you're going to have ups and downs. What will be important is how we respond with the best team in the league coming in.
