WE WILL ENJOY THIS FOR A LITTLE
BIT.
THE JOB IS NOT DONE YET.
>> Reporter: THE HOCKEY WORLD
SAW YOUR INTERACTION WITH JOHN
TORTORELLA ON THE BENCH IN GAME
2.
WHAT WAS YOUR MOTIVATION LIKE
TONIGHT HEADING INTO GAME 3?
>> Player: NOTHING DIFFERENT
REALLY.
STUFF LIKE THAT HAPPENS.
PLAYED A GOOD FIRST GAME AND THE
LAST GAME.
I WANT TO FORGET ABOUT THAT ONE.
COMING IN TODAY.
IF YOU LACK MOTIVATION YOU ARE
NOT IN THE RIGHT SPORT.
EVERYBODY WAS MOTIVATED.
WE WENT DOWN 3-0 AND BIG PLAYS
BY ELVIS AND EVERYBODY.
WE WIN AND TOMORROW IS ANOTHER
GAME.
>> Reporter:  FOR PIERRE-LUC
DUBOIS
DUBOIS, I DON’T SPEAK FRENCH BUT
YOU NETTED A HAT TRICK IN
PLAYOFFS HISTORY.
TAKE ME THROUGH THAT LAST GOAL.
>> Player: WELL, TO BE HONEST I
DIDN’T SEE WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE.
THEN TEXIER GOT IT.
THAT’S THE ONLY THING I
REMEMBER.
JUST KEPT THE PUCK AND WAS
PATIENT WITH IT.
PASSED THE SAUCER UP THE MIDDLE
OF THE ICE TO GET ME FREE ON THE
BREAK WAY.
THAT WAS A PLAY BY HIM.
I DID IT ON THE BREAKAWAY.
I DIDN’T KNOW HOW FAR THE
DEFENSEMAN WAS.
I WANTED TO KEEP IT AND SHOOT IT
I WANTED TO KEEP IT AND SHOOT IT
IN THE NET I GUESS.
>> Reporter:  HOW MUCH PRIDE TO
YOU TAKE IN TAKING OVER!
TO COME UP BIG IN A SERIES
AGAINST TORONTO.
ALL EYES WERE ON YOU GUYS.
HOW IMPORTANT WAS THAT FOR YOUR
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT?
>> Player: I TAKE IT ONE GAME AT
>> Player: I TAKE IT ONE GAME AT
A TIME.
KORPISALO KEPT US IN AND ELVIS
MADE BIG SAVES TO GIVE US
A CHANCE TO COME BACK.
EVERYBODY FROM THERE REGAINED
CONFIDENCE AND THE REST IS
HISTORY.
>> Reporter:  NEXT QUESTION?
THE LAST ONE FOR ALL OF US.
YOUR MIND SET OVER THE LAST 2
GAMES.
U HAD TO KNOW THERE WAS
A POSSIBILITY YOU MIGHT GO IN
THE SERIES.
HOW DID YOU KEEP YOURSELF SHARP
THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWN AND BE
READY TO GO?
>> Player: THAT’S MY JOB.
IT’S HARD.
YOU HAVE TO BE READY EVIDENT.
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PLAYING.
EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PLAYING.
YOU HAVE TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR
THE GAMES.
THIS IS FIGHTING FOR A PLAYOFF
SPOT.
I THINK IT’S EVEN HARDER.
I THINK IT’S EVEN HARDER.
YOU SHOULD BE MORE NERVOUS.
YOU HAVE TO JUST BE READY.
I DIDN’T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON
MYSELF.
TRIED TO GET IN THE GAME WITH
A FREE MIND AND MAKE MY PLAYS.
>> Reporter:  IF YOU COULD EACH
ANSWER THIS ONE.
WHEN YOU SCORED THE FIRST GOAL.
WHAT WAS THE SENSE AT THAT
POINT.
IF YOU FEEL MOMENTUM SHIFT
PUTTING ON THE BRAKES AND
GETTING BACK IN THE GAME?
>> Player:  YES.
I THOUGHT KORPISALO PLAYED WELL
TO KEEP US IN IT.
WE PULLED HIM JUST TO GIVE US
A SHIFT IN MANAGER AND WAKE US
UP.
THEN WE KNEW WE NEEDED A GOAL.
WE GOT IT AND ELVIS MADE BIG
SAVES.
IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT.
