The Boston Bruins are now trailing the Carolina Hurricanes 2-0 in their best-of-seven series, which now heads back to TD Garden in Boston.

That might be the only positive thing that the Bruins can take out of the situation they're in right now. The fact that the series is heading back to Boston to play in front of their own fans.

If anyone on the Bruins team knows what it's like to face playoff adversity and get through, it's team captain Patrice Bergeron, who is a veteran of well over 100 postseason games. Bergeron was one of Boston's only bright spots from game two, as he scored both of the Bruins' goals in the 5-2 loss.

Here's what Bergy had to say about what the team has to do next and what they can't take from last night's loss:

"One game at a time. That's all we can focus on now is game three. It's playoff hockey. You're going to have some adversity, and for us, it's early, so back to game three ... we've got to do a better job at being composed and disciplined; obviously, you can't give them that many five-on-threes they're going to make you pay. You want to play between the whistles, you want to play physical and hard, but you want to make sure it's the right way."

Bergeron also discussed his thought's on the Andrei Svechnikov hit on Hampus Lindholm and what the offense has to do to break through on this Hurricanes team.

Playoffs can be a weird time, and obviously, anything can happen. The series is not over because the Bruins are down 2-0, as many teams have come back from it. However, game three is a must-win if they do want any chance of making it past the Hurricanes.
