You couldn't have asked for a better series. These were two great teams playing at their best when it counted most.

I like where we are at right now.

I like that we used our home ice to our advantage. We got off to a fast start and the crowd really got into it. They helped carry us through.

I initially knew it would be a tough series; we never ran away from them in the regular season, so I don't expect to in this one.

It was just a matter of Chicago being more prepared to play tonight. We've stressed all year that we have to take it game-by-game.

It was just a matter of getting to the net and getting shots.

They will be desperate, any team facing elimination will be prepared with their back against the wall.

That has to give our guys confidence knowing that we can come over here and get a win.

It's nice right now. But tomorrow will be even more of a challenge. They are a good team and they are going to rebound.

That's the beauty of junior hockey. You have to show up and compete every night.
