It's uh back to back wins here at home.
How important was it to uh to set the tone
? Uh Yeah, it's honestly, it's really nice
to get up two oh, here we still have
a lot of work to do, but uh really
fed off the crowd tonight and uh good job going
up in the series scoring two goals in the first
period. That type of urgency with that kind of
the game plan going in to kind of set the
uh yeah, we knew they were going to come
out hard after last night, obviously tough one in
O T for them. But uh yeah, we
really wanted to kind of weather the storm there in
the first kind of 10 minutes or so. And
we did a really good job of that didn't take
a lot of penalties up there in the first other
than think our was in the second. But yeah
, we did a good job of kind of keeping
them containing them to the outside. So the first
period, gauge, how do you guys improve your
chances after the first period? Not much in the
final two years. How do you guys improve your
chances. Oh, yeah, I think really just
sticking to our game plan. I think we did
a really good job of, of kind of getting
calm there in the room after that first period and
kind of just, uh, sticking with our game
plan. You know, we kept it super simple
tonight and, uh, we got a couple of
good bounces and it just worked out for us from
a player perspective. Is there anything that you noticed
differently from tonight's game versus last night? I really
think the turnovers last night, there was a little
bit too many turnovers, especially from our end and
their end, they were really limited tonight. And
you could see, I think both goals came off
turnovers. So, yeah, it just keeps getting
more important, those little plays in the neutral zone
and then the D zone just getting the puck out
and stuff like that. And it's going to keep
being bigger for us down the road moving forward.
Do you guys believe in momentum, winning momentum?
Like, is that a thing like, you know
, when you're up to? I think so,
maybe like on back to back games, we got
a week off here. So it's honestly, from
my perspective, it's probably going to feel like a
00 series going into their barn. You know,
they get a full week off, they're going to
make a lot of adjustments, we're going to do
the same thing. So we're just going to try
and keep the same mentality and kind of keep our
same swagger going into their barn and hopefully get one
more on the defensive end, few penalty kills tonight
, including a five minute major. What kind of
adversity does that show? Yeah. It shows a
lot of character from a couple of guys that don't
even penalty kill like that much. Like is out
there taking draws, winning them, getting them down
. Like that kills an extra 20 seconds every single
time he wins. The draw. Our man were
huge with blocks and for and wall in there were
logging like, I think they logged like three minutes
on that kill. So those guys really stepped up
for us and we really built off that going into
the, going into the third period and that was
really big for us. Thank you.
