We have some good rookies here and they understand how good a shot we do have.

It was electrifying. When we got the first goal, you couldn't even hear guys congratulating each other. It went on from there and you couldn't hear anybody at the end.

There was a different kind of pressure last year. We lost a game to Kitchener and people were saying, 'What's going on?' This year, we're more the underdog compared to last year and it would almost be a sweeter victory if we can do it.

There was a loss of firepower, a loss of penalty killing, a loss of leadership. Now, people have to step up, including myself.

They have a big team and they play well in their own arena. To win a game there, especially early in the series, is big.

They play physical. They know our weaknesses. They want to hit us up front and hit our main guys. They rely on the power play, just like us.
