On the defensive effort in the win:
They did what they’ve been doing all year. I’m very fortunate to get to play with the group that we have, and we have a couple injuries on the back end. We’ve got guys that are stepping up, playing big minutes and playing really well for us. But I’m kind of spoiled. That’s what I’m kind of used to.
On whether this was the performance the team had been looking for:
Well, we’ve had it twice before. We won. Start fresh here. They’re a great team, obviously. It’s one game to win it all.
On whether home ice matters in Game 7:
I don’t know. You dress 20 guys, you’re playing against 20 guys. I don’t know if home ice is that big of a deal.
On having played in so many elimination games:
It’s no different than a Game 1 or a Game 2.
On the team playing well in elimination games:
We’re a good team. If you look at what Anaheim did in those games, they did well as well. Any team that’s still playing this time of the year, you’ve got a good team and you know how to win…the problem is you’re going against a team that knows that same thing. It’ll be a good game, and we’ve got to get our rest and get ready for it.
