Coach Craig Berube highlighted the team's power-play success and the importance of discipline after Game 1. He noted key areas for improvement heading into Game 2, particularly emphasizing the need to protect the slot more effectively. Berube also mentioned the impact of power plays on game rhythm and encouraged a more aggressive forecheck. Regarding goaltender Anthony Stolarz's absence, Berube acknowledged the tensions that arise in playoff hockey, particularly dealing with player retaliations without losing discipline, asserting the team would focus on maintaining their composure.
"In the second period, they had a few opportunities after the power plays where we were a little loose. We have to do a better job there."
"Power plays and penalty kills take some of the rhythm out of the game, but I'd like to see us do a little more hunting and hounding on the forecheck."
