They didn't give us a lot of great opportunities. We got a lot of shots early from the perimeter. Getting those power-plays early on can haunt you if you don't score on those chances.

I figured if we got the first game it would keep us going. The hits and everything.

We'd keep pulling away and they'd reel us back in.

That was a tough game for us.

This was a tough game for us. I saw so many things I didn't like. They weren't carrying out some things and then the mental part of it I was really disturbed with. I thought we would be mentally prepared.

I know that Shannon (Miller) has mentioned that it's a good draw. It makes sense. We're the ones who ended their season last year. These are two really good teams.
