Not every game is going to be the prettiest game. It used to be a third-period lead was rock-solid and now it is not. We need to bear down. But we have to get two points and that is what we did.

I'm not going to say it was the prettiest game, but I think the third period, we played solid. 'Sandy' was the key to the game. He made some huge saves for us.

We're in a good place. A couple of times against good teams we had a third-period lead and we gave it up. We learned the lesson and put the pieces together.

There was no panic in the dugout (when the Yankees took a 4-0 lead in the third). I said last year that the makeup of this team was tremendous. We have basically the same players with a couple of additions. They bounce back pretty well. Just because we got beat up in one game doesn't mean they're going to fold up.

That definitely changed the whole tempo of the match. He would have had the lead heading into the third period and not been going all out to score. The final score didn't indicate the type of match it was.

It was a real tight game in the first and second period. In the third, I think we came out strong and put the game away.
