``I think Bouch is a big reason for that.  He's playing his best hockey like he always does in these championship runs. He just seems to get stronger by the game, and I think his two games here have been his best of the playoffs.''

``We have enough guys who have won championships, and also guys like (Jamie) Lovell who has played a long time and he hasn't won.  We've all played long enough that we've seen stranger things happen. Those are things that haunt you. You never want to look back and know that you had a stranglehold on a series and you let it slip through your fingers. You learn from that.''

"It felt great.  All I was trying to do was put the shot on net and the puck had eyes and went into the back of the net. It felt good."

"It's a great feeling.  We came in an executed our game plan perfectly tonight. I thought we were better prepared and knew what we were doing from (Game 1). It was really gritty. It wasn't entertaining hockey. We chipped away. We got a couple nice goals but a lot of ugly ones."

"Pretty frustrating two losses, especially tonight.  We’ve got to come back on the road and stay together as a team. It’s a pretty tough feeling right now in the dressing room. All the guys are pretty disappointed. They just outplayed us, flat out."
