Rick Tocchet said he knew the Penguins were going to bring everything they had, but credited his team for sticking together.
"This is a close group. This is a pack of guys that go out for dinner and stuff, and I think that helps," he said. "It gets tight out there, right? They come back, the Penguins, they played a great game tonight. We hung in there. I've got to give them a lot of credit, but I think the closeness might have won us the series. I've heard some players, they love each other. Not to be corny, maybe that helped us to win this series because, you know, the Penguins were coming. We get it. They were coming, we hung in there and maybe that's what got us through this game."
