鈥淚 liked the fight in our team. I felt the floor was tilted a little bit in the third period and they really started to press, but we didn鈥檛 quit.

鈥淭his team is so young the highs are really high, and the lows are really low. But by the time we got to overtime it was even. The D played D and the O found a way. And then we held on to the one-goal lead for a long time because everyone was just doing their job.鈥�
