Obviously, we knew some teams behind us were starting to gain some ground. We know what has to be done. We don't need to look at the standings to realize we aren't where we want to be. We need to be a desperate hockey team. This was something to build on, and we've got to continue to do that.
More Quotes from Sean Burke:
There was definitely a focus on what we needed to do for the obvious reasons. I think if we lose this game, we all realize that we put ourselves in a bad spot for the rest of the way.Sean Burke
No more this year than they have the last four, ... It's the same every year. I don't really put a lot of stock in it right now. Whatever is going to happen is a day-to-day thing in an organization like ours. We're a young team and if we are winning, things will be good. But if we're not, changes will probably be made. It's all part of the business.
Sean Burke
It felt good to play, but it felt better to play and get a win. I was more nervous the last couple of days than I usually am, and I thought about the game more than I usually do. But once I got out on the ice, I felt good.

We all know what's at stake. If we lose, the season's over. You have to try and play loose every game. I don't think anything has changed in all the years I've played. If you're not loose and having fun, it's hard to play. We were tight at times in the series, and it showed.
Sean Burke
Our minds weren't in it. When that happens, I don't care who you are playing, you're going to get smoked.
Sean Burke
Especially in the U.S., people liken it to a starting pitcher or a starting quarterback, and hockey's different. You're the starter the night you're playing. The night you're not, you're the backup. I don't think a lot about it. You could be the starter to start the season and then two games into the season you find yourself on the bench and vice versa.
