It's a swing game for both us. It's as much desperation for us as it is for them. It is a scary lead, 2-0, because it is a momentum shift. We have to treat it like it is 1-1 and try to dictate the flow.

You could really sense some desperation in their game after we got the third goal. They came at us hard.

We had to win this one. Everybody knows playoff momentum shifts real quickly. I think we'll wake up (this) morning and take the approach that we have to go in there and win a hockey game.

It's hard to explain. I guess there are nights when they are going to be called like that, and we didn't make the proper adjustments. Our body positioning wasn't where it needed to be.

They had some good chances, but we stopped them. It was a fun game to play.

This is such a tight battle with nine or 10 teams that are neck and neck. Coming home is big for us. We can't afford a letdown. A lot of times when you're on the road for a period of time, you come back and have a letdown for a game or two.
