SAY WHAT: 'A GREAT ATMOSPHERE'

ANDREW MANGIAPANE ON HIS TORRID PACE:

ON THE ISLANDERS' THIRD-PERIOD PUSH:

"They're a good team. They were playing fast and we just wanted to play together, play as five in the D zone, break out as five - talk, communicate. Still, I think we need to do a little better job of slowing up their forwards and doing a bit better. But all in all, it was a good win for us."

ON RAUCOUS CROWD:

"It was a great atmosphere. Pretty cool to play in. You could feel the energy as soon as we went out there the first time. Even before warmup, you could see all the fans. It was fun to play in, right? We just almost fed off that energy, (being) the away team, hearing some boos and yelling and stuff like that. But at the end of the day, it kind of fires you up."

BRAD RICHARDSON ON SCORING FIRST GOAL AT UBS:

"It was nice. Obviously, you're trying to get that first goal, and especially in a rink like this. They always start that heavy line and they're trying to get the fans going and all that, so that was a nice way to quiet them down early.
"We were just saying, in 30 years from now, my name will come up, so that's always nice."

ON HOLDING OFF THE ISLES:

"Marky was probably our best player there. He made some big saves. It was a weird game - a lot of penalties and we couldn't really get into it. Then the third had a lot more flow, but I think they had the pace in the third but we held on and kept our composure."

DARRYL SUTTER ON THE ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE:

"The building was awesome. The crowd carries the weight, right? The whole game was a lot of energy in the building. You know, we're battling - we're just trying to stay in there. It's a long trip."

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FIRST GOAL:

"It was really important. It's natural they were going to come out really hard and the way they played. It's bred into that team how good they are at home. If you look at last year - they have so many playoff-proven guys and what did they lose? Really, the Stanley Cup Final last year was the Conference Final. If you look at it. What did they lose Game 7, 1-0? Tells you what kind of character they have."

ON TIGHT THIRD PERIOD:

"Just kept rolling lines. Tried to keep our centremen low as much as possible and even on the second goal, our centreman wasn't low and we got scored on. It's a process for our team in terms of learning how to play really hard, physical games, and it shows up."
