It's been a real thrill all year long. It's even more of a thrill because we had such a good year.

Those were two tired teams out there. Neither team deserved to lose.

We played one of our best games of the season. We had a lot of power plays and that helped us carry the play. We had to get this one.

Having to play this first one away from home shouldn't really concern us. We're used to playing solid, 60-minute hockey on the road.

The season series (between us) was really tight. We don't expect anything different for the playoffs.

That's (full roster) a luxury we haven't had in so long.
