This particular team has a reputation for being the brawlers of the bunch. They were able to pretty much dominate the other teams.

It was tied 1-1 for quite a while ... it was pretty evenly matched.

They (the Senators) were pretty hungry. This particular team had never beat us during the regular season, even though they were in second place. They were definitely one of our rivals.

We were really happy to win this one again this year.

We had a lot of fans - the stands were packed on our side. That was really good; we had a great fan base.

We started off the second period and the Senators looked like they were really moving out. They came out strong; the second period was a really tough period.
