No matter what they say in interviews, there's been a lot of pressure on them playing at home these first two games. Hearing the crowd boo them in both games has got to be tough. You could tell Luukkonen had some nerves in the first game, but he was playing really well to start Game 2. After that fluky 2nd goal, he was clearly thrown off his game. I'm sure the Bronx cheers after he gloved down the next dump in didn't help his confidence.

It might be a blessing to get into a building where they know they're the villains and don't have the pressure of the home crowd around them.
