In the Playoffs, you need every trick in the book to help you win. A lot of people focus on amazing plays and sick saves by the goalies, but in all honesty emotions are the true key to the Cup. You need to be fired up and ready to win it at all cost. At the same time, the opponent needs to be in despair, frustrated or plainly pissed off. When you get under his skin, you've won half of the battle!
It's exactly what happened with Ryan Kesler and Ryan Johansen tonight. You sense Johansen is beyond pissed off reading this quote.
Kesler has the reputation of pushing the button a lot and this is yet another example of it. You can expect game 3 to be very special between these two guys.
