MUCH EXCITEMENT BEFORE THE GAME. QUITE A DIFFERENT SCENE NOW, AARON. >> YEAH, MOST CERTAINLY LATE. IN FACT, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS THIS GAME ENDED AND THE NEW YORK RANGERS, THEY SCORED THE 3RD GOAL. WE IMMEDIATELY SAW THOSE FANS RUSHING OUT THEIR HEADS DOWN. YOU DON'T USUALLY YOU CAN TELL WHEN THERE'S A CANES WHEN WE CAN HEAR ALL THE CHEERING AND IT'S PRETTY DEAFENING. THAT WAS CERTAINLY NOT THE CASE. AND WE HEARD FROM SOME OF THOSE FANS, THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW CRITICAL IT WAS TO WIN GAME 3 TONIGHT. >> THEY THINK TOWELS, A LONGSTANDING PRE-GAME RITUAL BEFORE THE PUMP UP. FANS WALKED INTO PNC ARENA WITH SHEASLEY OPTIMISTIC THERE EM WITH 2 LOSSES AGAINST THE NEW YORK RANGERS TRADED MORRIS CAME READY TO GET THE QUEEN'S SOME MOMENTUM. >> THE FANS HAVE A BIG, BIG PLAY IN I THINK ENERGIZED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GAMES NOT GOING THEIR WAY TO FEELING KIND OF DOWN. MAYBE NOT SO CONFIDENT ABOUT IT. >> OUTSIDE AMONG THE CROWD OF TAILGATERS, ISO LEWIS EXPRESSED HER DISAPPOINTMENT WITH SEEING THE CANES BLUES ON THE ROAD. >> FRUSTRATING YEAH, YOU JUST CAN'T GET IN THERE AND CHEER HIM ON LIKE YOU CAN AT A AT A LOT OF GAME. YOU KNOW, WE GAVE THE FIRST 2 GAMES OF THE RANGERS. NO HOPE LOSS FOR ROY MURPHY THAT HAVE YOU SEE HE STARTED WEARING IT DURING PLAYOFF SEASON. >> IT CONSIDERS IT A GOOD LUCK CHARM. MY NEPHEW GAVE IT TO ME. I DECIDED TO PAINT IT UP, MAKE IT CAMES. WE ARE UNDEFEATED WHILE WEARING THE HAT. >> YEAH, WE'LL HAVE TO 5 MISTER MURPHY, THEIR PLANES BACK THAT GOOD LUCK CHARM WHEN THE CANES PLAYBACK HERE ON SATURDAY OF STILL SEEING SOME LAST MINUTE FANS THAT ARE TRICKLING OUT OF PNC ARENA ACTUALLY JUST FINISHED TALKING WITH THE FAN ABOUT 2 MINUTES AGO WILL HEAR FROM MORE OF FROM SOME OF THESE FANS ON WRAL NEWS AT 11. BUT THEY'RE HOPING TO EXTEND THE SERIES AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. WE NOW HAVE SALUTE LEAHI POINT, RIGHT? THIS IS A MUST WIN FOR
