It's simply about playing as hard as you can and being a tough team to play against. Through 20 men right on through to our goaltender, I thought there was a ton of desperation and fight.
More Quotes from John Tortorella:
From our goaltending right on out, I thought we played well, I thought we played hard, I thought we created a lot of offense but you're still in the situation where you're not putting that puck in the net when you have those chances. The 20 minutes in the third period was very important in just finding a way.John Tortorella
Are we the underdog Your darn right we are. I don't think anybody gives us a chance to even with a game. To me, so be it. We know what we are about. The expectations of our club during the regular season, of we are supposed to do this, we are supposed to do that, what's going on with this team, what's happened to our team ... I think as we enter here in this series, we have no pressure on us. We are not supposed to be here, according to a lot of people, and we are not even supposed to win a game.

The thing that bothers me the most is I just thought we shut it down. Was our goaltending good No, it wasn't good. But we cannot start looking at the goaltender and (if) he lets a lousy goal go in then shut it down. If we're not getting the saves, we better win the game 6-5 or whatever it has to be. But to shut it down, that's the wrong way to go here. And that's what disturbs me the most.

Give Luongo credit. He seems to have those games against us quite a bit.

Boyle had a huge game. He knew how big this game was. He wanted to make big plays and he did.

I think some of our young guys who have been here for two or three years finally got a taste of the playoffs and a little bit of an understanding of where the fun in the game is. That's the time of year. It certainly whets your appetite and we have a new challenge this year, so we are going to attack it.
