It's about being who you have been.
"You just have to be yourself and play the same way we've been playing all along and not change anything and not overthink anything," Bergeron said. "Like I said, just play."
The last time, they faced the situation on the road, in Vancouver, in front of a hostile crowd. This time, they will be more comfortable, certainly more beloved, when they try to play the way they did in a 4-0 win in that Stanley Cup Final Game 7 in 2011.
Because why deviate from what has worked?
"I think the preparation is, for me, always kind of the same," Bergeron said. "Try starting to focus today. Be in the moment and enjoy and soak everything in, because those moments are important to enjoy and to make sure you stay in any moment you're living."
Or any moment you're playing.
Of course, as Marchand cautioned, "Every game plays out differently. So regardless of what you're been through, you're more just looking at your past experience as guidance, for some comfort. But again, everything plays out differently, so just because you've been through it before doesn't mean it's going to play out the same way."
