"I'm glad the final buzzer went. It's time to move on," said coach Jim Hulton in a post-game news conference.

"You can get caught up over-analyzing. At the end of the day it is what it is. The series is tied 1-1."

Hulton said he thought his team started well, but lost control of their emotions when they fell behind 2-0, and their discipline went soon after.

As the series continues he wants his team to remain steady and focused, not getting too high after wins or too low after losses.

Game 3 starts at 7:30 AT on Friday, and will be televised on Eastlink.
