🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

what’s your take on the game tonight slow start I guess yeah slow start obviously down by two um was down by two I don’t know um but we came back we battled hard we picked up off energy of of the goals and we had a great finish how did it feel for you to score and to see Max score oh it was great I mean I was feeling for domes there too and obviously to connect on one feels good so uh yeah obviously scoring and any anytime whether things are going good or or not so good it’s just always a great feeling what you like about the wake up three together oh was great it’s a combination of speed and we got good shots I think we just fed off each other pretty good and hope we continue it got those three goals in the second in about 2 and 1/2 minutes was there something before that that flipped something that was said where it just that’s when it started to I just think I mean we our team gets one go we get energy off that you know puts them on their heels a little bit I think we just got momentum and capitalize on our chances there would you like about how Dennis was able to recover after a tough start he really dialed in the rest of yeah he was great I mean he made some key saves for us I mean he’s a great goenda and hopefully he scores it I mean I like the confidence out of him there what’s it been like to watch John this season oh it’s been great I mean he’s obviously had a great season so far and um obviously the way he prepares for games how he just executes on the ice you know he’s our best one of our best players and he’s having a great year yeah I think uh you know HS was strong and uh love the way uh uh domes is line uh him Robbie and Bobby just uh SK really well good Pace got a big goal for us to get us back in and so really good to see them uh be such a factor for us all night and uh real important players for us so excited to see them get on the board and and play the way they did how do feel to see those two score right yeah it was great it was great and I think just the pace they played with um strong on the puck uh fighting for space uh making plays when they’re there obviously uh uh really good offensive players and key players for us so excited to uh see them get on the board as a teammates you know you want everyone contributing everyone feeling good and it’s great to see them uh get reward for their work yeah yeah it’s good I mean uh you know a lot of trust in in those Puck battles and plays along the walls and uh in front of the Nets so I think uh especially in the third we we have the lead uh we obviously want to take you know create opportunities to increase it but um at the same time we’re we’re managing the game and understanding the situations we’re in and big part of that is is advancing play and and winning winning Puck battles and tilting the game in our favor by just having the puck more so with those two guys that’s uh no question what they do really well some production on team as a whole and hasn’t been there yeah we we just just got to keep going I think um we all want to continue to get better uh as a team and individually Puck maybe haven’t been going in as much offensively but I think we’re still growing and um finding our way with with how we’re playing and the identity of the group and things uh uh coaching staff is preaching and what we’re working on so uh a lot of good signs uh today something we want to build on feel like turn back tonight or a little bit uh I’m just playing I I think I got a lot of belief in my game and what I can do um whether that’s scoring or that’s just making an impact all over the ice so continue to help this team as best I can obviously uh um whole life have been able to produce offensively score goals and just want to continue to do that when those when those chances present themselves obviously playing on a team like we have and the type of players that we have um you know they make so many good plays and uh put you in so many good spots so um just great to get rewarded and and like I said help the team tonight uh uh in that way can see you in the SL no he saw me uh that was a great play I told him after just uh uh great vision and and uh put it uh uh right in the right spot where I could catch it and kind of load it and and uh get it off exactly how I wanted to so it was a great play by him actually how did it feel to kind of get the monkey off your back there wins a win massive win obviously coming from behind uh it’s not easy against a team like that got to give them credit they came out fing so felt good to get back into it and obviously a huge win can you forward moreas you think doesn’t change anything just get ready to go for tomorrow how see Ni score looks great yeah it played awesome uh Bobby was awesome too I think the three of us as a line um kind of talked and we decided that I mean obviously our strength is is speed and skating so all three of us tried to to do that the best of our abilities and and both those guys are absolutely flying tonight why do you think the game flipped where it did you’re over halfway in and then all of a sudden you guys scor three times in two and a half minutes momentum man that’s a game of hockey right so just got to stay with it stay patient and uh not get too high or too low and we did a great job of that what do you make of Dennis’s work tonight you know two go in early but he sett right down yeah he look great I would Lov to see that goal go in at the end that would have been cool but no he uh he’s awesome massive human being and great dude so happy for him let’s know to about John tomor what he’s got about his business this year he’s the ultimate Pro man he’s he’s a huge part of this team has been for a long time um we all love joh to death and really happy for him he’s uh he’s he comes up clutch over and over and over again his whole career and um he’s got to keep building and and help him and all the other guys out whenever we can how does the group keep this production going sorry how does the group keep the production going and hasn’t come easily this year man we just focus on one game at a time and uh like I said that’s a good team over there you got to give them credit came out flying and uh we found a way to to quiet the storm and and answer and came out on top so FL that one have a good day off and get ready to go for a real good test in Dallas on the road the overall effort tonight by the game by the team and yourself there oh sry uh thought team played good uh scored a lot of goals which which I appreciate uh I think were a few things I could have done better obviously but turn it great in the end and I think I had uh got a lot of help there obviously with the gos scored forward so that’s a tough spot for you to come in I mean second half of a back to back the team played less than 24 hours ago and you come through with the win uh yeah for sure it’s always uh tough with back toback games uh I think it’s same for both teams though if I’m correct if they played yesterday too but whatever yeah I think we play a good good game and came out to win how did you start to feel your comfort level change throughout the game uh I mean I thought it felt better the longer the game went uh which uh makes sense a little bit like it’s tough there at the beginning with the reads a little bit but yeah it’s a good thing I felt better the longer the game went how big was your save on Jack Quinn he he scored two on you and then you made the big save off in the third that kind of steadied you uh yeah I’m not sure if I remember this save specifically but uh yeah I got a few pucks on me there uh made in thirs so that was nice to feel a little bit important were you were you trying for the gold uh yeah I tried but I don’t know I had a couple tries now but maybe one day see have you never done it have you ever done it at any level never scored no but I’ve had a couple of tries I think that was my best best effort on some some of our CH been like hitting the yeah like far out in your corner when it left your sick did you think you had enough for it h i don’t know I saw it was backing up a little bit so there was no one in the middle too so it felt kind of safe just went for it see so it’s uh you’re taking the game especially after Buffalo gets off of that good lead uh thought our you know we had good intentions in the first period take a penalty I mean um first shift when we get behind but you know I I thought after first seven minutes I thought we started to take over and I thought we started to really get going um guys battled hard I mean we got every all lines I thought everybody was solid tonight worked hard competed hard did a lot of good things stayed with it you know and it was a great third period when you got a lead by one goal and you go out there and just check don’t give them much and we had opportunities couple power play or one power two power plays and you know um you know so it was really good I thought our leader stepped up and really did a good job tonight you flipped n and Willie yeah what do you like and he stuck with it so um what do you like about that well I thought in my head that if I could get trar with n and Patch ready out there at times against the Thompson line you know it’s a big line heavy line so that was my thought a little bit and not so much use Matthews against them the rest of the game we were down so I wanted to kind of loosen those guys up a little bit and give them some different looks um that was kind of like my thought process on it and um it worked out you had Roberts and adomi come in from the cold so to speak with their goals how do you feel about that they played excellent I thought that they were um way more engaged with their physical play and hounding and Puck battles and things like that and they did a real good job that line was excellent tonight for us and we needed him to be every game is different but 40 plus shots five goals how do you take this forward now like type of production well you’re not going to get 40 every night but that’s the thought process I think the last three games we’ve our temps have been up and we hit the net tonight more that’s a difference in my opinion but you know it’s that attitude ude though of making sure that we’re shooting pucks and not being cute um you know and just being direct with everything like you know even off faceoffs like I just watched the last three games we win a puck we win a puck the D are looking to shoot right away and we’re trying to get to the net don’t me S don’t me um giving fairly stock answers and finally scoring this year but what do you what do you think it means to him to put the puck in the well it’s it feels good trust me I mean he he he’s not happy that he hasn’t produced scored and um we need him to and but we need him to play that style of game that he played tonight you know that’s the difference for me way more engaged yeah how about John like Fountain the youth for him tonight or uh he just keeps working I don’t know what to tell you I mean this guy’s got a heavy stick smart competitive I mean and he works at his game constantly even at this age and he’s still uh doing a great job you know it’s great to see him we you know he’s been he’s been excellent for us all year have they been uh too cute to use the word that you used a couple minutes ago um in their shot yeah I mean there’s times like we you know throughout the season that you know we’ve probably overpassed or and listen these guys are real good players a lot you know they they see things and make plays and I’m all for it but again you know our identity is to be direct and predictable and that goes with scoring too your goalie tried to score and I had you feel I thought it was a good play guys taking the outlets out on him coming down the wall he smart play fired it down the ice I mean I’m I’m okay with that what did you think of his game way he rebound well he settled in after the first two I thought he thought he made a couple key saves in the third period which were important I thought he handled the puck well um you know so I mean would he want that power play goal back probably but you know he he was pretty good for us tonight that’s 300 wins for you tonight how rewarding is that I think only about 50 something coaches have that oh really it’s a lot of coaches I got a long way to go no it’s great I didn’t even know but I mean I don’t look at stuff like that too much I mean but uh yeah it’s great you know I’m I’m obviously happy about it
