It comes down to free throws and execution.

We didn't make our run early enough. And when we did make our run, we just didn't have enough left and we ran out of time.

When you lose on the road, it sets a tone and everybody feels down. Now that we got the win, we can loosen up and just relax and play our game.

The difference tonight was intensity and execution -- things we lacked all year.

Our execution and passing wasn't very good. We had a couple of guys on a couple of shifts who couldn't handle the puck, and it disrupted the whole power play.

I think it was just our defensive execution.
