In preparation for Game 2, head coach Craig Berube highlighted the increased intensity expected from the Senators after their loss. He stressed the importance of improved defensive play and maintaining offensive control while making the game simple. Berube also mentioned that the atmosphere remains consistent with the regular season, believing in keeping the mood light yet focused. The challenge of balancing between reacting to the Senators' push and dictating the game is key to their strategy going forward.
You get a lot of desperation from the other team, for sure. We are going to get a good push from the Senators tonight. They are going to be better tonight.
Preparation from the players and the coaches, obviously. It's about the players understanding that the start of the game is crucial and being prepared for a hard push from them.
You have to be prepared to battle in the puck battles and physical play. Make hard, simple plays with the puck. Those are the types of things you want to prepare for as a player.
Not much different than the regular season. I think it depends on the situation in the game and what is going on, but it is pretty much the same.
