"You obviously know it's a do-or-die game and from my experiences in Game 7, you just have to go out there and play," Lucic said. "The main thing is you need to make plays, execute plays, finish plays - and your desire to win and your will to win needs to be there. That's usually what happens to win a big game and a Game 7. It's going to be exciting. over the last 10 days what C of Red has been and even Red Lot and how the fans in Calgary are excited about it so I'm sure they are excited about it tomorrow as we are as players."

"No, pressure is a good thing," he said. "In the long run, that's what separates you. I've been involved in several of those 7 games, so that's - in the end - where you're in the league too, as a player."

"You want to have emotion, but you have balance, you know?" Lucic said. "You want to have the thrill and you're saving it and using it the right way and not letting it get the best of you. Do you remember when you're a kid and you're about to have a big race, and you feel like getting punched in the gut before it starts. It's that kind of feeling. You want to bottle it up and put it into a positive thing and this is a time when great players make great plays and finish."

"We knew we had to have a good March, and we had a good April, and we did. We knew we had to get seven of those last eight points in the final week of the season, and we did," said the Stars coach. said Rick Bowness. "Playoff mode, yeah, that's where we've been for a while and it showed up last night and it's going to show up tomorrow.''

"It's going to be a war," said Stars forward Michael Raffl. "I can not wait."

"We took two penalties, and we're going to take that," said Stars coach Rick Bowness. "We don't avoid any contact, but you play with it. It's playoff hockey and you play with everything."

"These are the hits that we're trying to get out of the game," Bowness said. "I know it's a bigger guy hitting a smaller guy, but it's the first head contact we've been trying for years to get out of the game. All they can do is keep addressing it. You can't let it slide, you have to. be resolved, and it's up to the league to see what they want to do about it."

"I think it's just our competitive nature and wanting to win and doing whatever it takes to win," Stars captain Jamie Benn said of walking the fine line. "Emotions run high and players get angry, coaches get angry, but it's finding a balance of level so as not to distract you and keep you focused on the task at hand."

"You come out after a shift and make eye contact with him and he's encouraging us to keep going and be better," Benn said. "I'm glad he's back."
"That's what's so special about Game 7," Benn said. "The most unlikely of heroes may rise to the occasion."
