Brendan Gallagher summed it up rather well: "A game is 60 minutes long, and regardless of what happens, you have to continue to battle."
The Canadiens' bench boss is also pleased to see his players fighting for wins, especially when they find themselves in situations they'd rather avoid.
"Even when teams are in tough spots, they can find ways to get back in games. We keep our cool, even in the third period. We stay focused on the work we have to do. Eventually, something will come of it," said Julien.
Obviously, the Canadiens would prefer to stay clear of being forced to play come-from-behind hockey whenever possible, especially in the postseason.
"We have character, but at the same time, you have to find a way to score the first goal. It might happen to us a little bit less often. We're a team that plays really well defensively, so we're focusing on that. When we have chances on offense, we have to capitalize on them. We have a character group, and coming back after two periods like that is important with the playoffs on the horizon," said Phillip Danault, who potted three game-winning goals this season.
Like Danault, Petry is well aware that results like that will be crucial heading into their first round series against the Rangers.
"In the playoffs, games tighten up, so we can use those experiences to our advantage in terms of what we've managed to do [when we're down]. We know that regardless of the circumstances, we're capable of coming back," concluded Petry.
