What was said after one:
"Just positive. It was 2-1, 40 minutes of hockey left. There's really not much [to say], everybody knows what to do, everybody knows when we're playing well and everyone knows what it looks like. Leaders calm the group down and then we go."
On maintaining this for Game 4:
"What helps, I feel, our game is when we are able to break the puck out, get some speed and put their [defensemen] on their heels. That way we get some pucks back, we get some zone time, and I feel like that's a huge asset for us."
"It's not always easy, sometimes it feels like pucks are bouncing everywhere. The start wasn't great, we kept with it, we got a lot better and we played really well. Now hopefully Wednesday, we can put together a 60-minute effort together."
Confidence on getting Porter's goal in final minute of period coming into the dressing room:
"It's a lot of energy , you hear the crowd going, it was pretty quiet before that. Got them going, it's a huge asset for us and just positive in here."
Hear Porter's stick:
"He gave me kind of a, I don't know if he tapped or whatever, but he kinda asked for the puck. It was a great tip, I haven't seen a tip like that, it's hard to do. It's kinda like he took a wrist shot in. He did a great job."

(third period) I wasn't worried about it. I just felt like the way things were going tonight guys were getting their legs and doing what we needed to do. I had a lot of confidence that we were going to come out in the third and even get another one and we were able to do that.
(after one) We were obviously able to get a goal to make it a one-goal game but we understand that we've got to be better. We've got to work. There's no way to get wins in here other than go out and work for it. That's what (Torchetti) challenged us with and the response was great.
(Porter goal) It's huge. From that point on there's lots of game left and you can just go about your game. You don't need to feel like you have to take chances or try different things. We got things going really well in the last half of the first period and you cut it to one and you can just feel like you need to continue to build your game and get more, and that's what we did.
That's why we love playing here. Obviously we gave everybody a scare at the start of the game but to give these fans a reason to cheer and cheer as loud as they did, that's why we love playing here.
(third Dallas goal) I couldn't move my arm. The puck was coming at my forehead, the guy's leaning on my arm. I feel like I have to ask you guys, am I being crazy? I feel the definition is I'm supposed to be able to do my job. I watched the replay. I don't understand how…It doesn't matter if the puck took a funny bounce and went in the other side. You don't get to decide if I would've saved it or not. The simple fact is I couldn't do my job.
I think we came into the series with confidence knowing that's how we need to play and that's how we're capable of playing, fast and hard, taking the body and turning pucks over. That's the game we're going to need to play. Tonight we had to. We had no choice but to get to that. We spotted them two goals but we were able to get to that, and that should give us a lot of confidence going forward. If we play like that, we have a real good shot.
(long losing streak) In playoffs you're able to go game to game and understand that each game you must win. It's important to get that winning feeling and try to get rolling. Obviously we've been a little streaky, back and forth down the stretch. So we gather up that winning feeling and try to hold onto it.

I was just letting him know that I was open. We'd had a good shift there to start, (Fontaine) and (Suter) and (Haula) all had a chance at it early down low and I didn't know if it was going to get there. Haulsy kind of fumbled it on the blue line and made a great play over there and I was fortunate to put it in.
I just kind of gripped the stick and swung it like a golf club and fortunate for me it did find the back. We did build some momentum after that.
We did a great job as a team re-grouping after they scored two there. Not the start we wanted. We wanted to get the crowd into it early. But we did a great job of settling down and getting the fans back into it. They kind of carried us there in the second and third.
(Haula) He's a big piece. A lot of speed, great (penalty killer), shut-down kind of player. You can see that line tonight carried us as well.
