We were right there
Because we're usually playing from behind and that's when we have to start to press? Best I can figure.

Yeah, this is the most likely reason. Fall behind in the 1st/2nd, team with the lead enters a bit more of a defensive posture, Kings needing to score and therefore goes on the offense even harder.

i think it has a lot to do with the team's comfort level. a game or two ago they were interviewing Kopi and he talked about how they feel playing in tight games. he commented on how they don't feel any type of panic. how they as a team don't freak out when games are tight.
it wouldn't surprise me now if this has carried over to when they play from behind. now they know they can score. now they know they can beat anyone, when they step on the gas and put it together.
this isn't the same broken and dysfunctional TMu lead team that had to scrape and claw for two goals. this isn't the same team that had a major personality and identity crisis when it came to who the opponent is.
i seriously think they now have a mindset after winning last season they can push a button and take over when needed. and frankly, we've all seen it this season. this team now has an extra gear it can go to. a 6th gear, or an amp that goes to 11.
the downside is you won't always pull out a W, with this type of performance.

Based on that post about the extra gear, it sounds like they are just putting the amount effort needed to make it into the playoffs and then hopefully dominate again.
Wish they would just go to that extra gear in the first period to build a lead and then ease up on the pedal a bit then, instead of fighting back in the third.
