"We knew in a game of three road games, it's tiring, you come into a (new) place, its muggy, it's a good atmosphere here, they're on you, you knew that everyone had to share the energy load and I thought everyone managed that very, very well today. Because once this game is done, we've got to travel back (to Calgary) and prepare for another game Saturday."
