Even though the Hurricanes only registered three more shots on goal than the Bruins, Carolina controlled the majority of the game. 'Second period, I thought they came out; they pushed hard. They were overtop of us. I thought their checking skills were superior to ours, and it led to a lot of us playing in our (defensive) zone,' Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery said.
'We really had no transitional offense,' Montgomery said. 'Again, I give them credit, they checked, and that's what we're going to see in the playoffs.'
'We just played these guys four days ago, so that's playoff hockey,' defenseman Charlie McAvoy said. 'We beat them, and then we lost to them. That's how a seven-game series works. If there's anything to learn about this or to use, sort of in context, it's that this is playoff hockey.'
