couple periods of play being able bounce
0:20
back and stay in the game yeah I mean
0:22
the third period was a couple things
0:24
happen but fighting against the refs too
0:26
here it looks like so miss a blatant
0:28
call it's one to one in the game
0:30
which is insane um so yeah that's
0:34
disappointing but no I'm proud of our
0:35
guys effort the schedule we've had
0:37
coming down the stretch uh we're down
0:39
two Z but Dallas was just down two- Z
0:44
right uh Toronto was down 3-1 so Florida

0:56
practice in when we get down there get
0:58
some good food and be ready to rock and
0:59
try to win game three how big will that
1:01
rest be for this group of guys that
1:03
finally have the opportunity to maybe
1:05
take some time head down and maybe get
1:08
their composure get their head set for a
1:10
game three yeah just get away from the
1:11
rank a little bit and then we'll come
1:13
back and touch on some details of the
1:15
game that help us win be successful
1:17
playoff time and yeah they need to get
1:19
away they've been these guys have been
1:20
working it's uh really been up against
1:22
us schedule wise here so yeah take the
1:25
rest when you can get it then nobody's
1:26
going to feel sorry for it just got to
1:27
keep moving forward coach uh um you de
1:30
said to go back to poter tonight what
1:32
about the's performance uh I thought he
1:34
was fine I mean redirection goals
1:37
obviously the one that we see where
1:38
there's too many men on the ice and they
1:40
get a breakway out of it which I mean
1:42
hockey Gods so no he's a great goalie
1:45
it's not his fault obviously you talk
1:47
about you know the the rest was there
1:49
any thought of going up BR knowing how
1:51
often poter has played the last couple
1:52
games uh no to be honest with you uh pz
1:55
is playing unreal the goals last night
1:57
weren't his problem either and he's not
1:59
at a lack of energy really so no to say
2:02
is your goal that's for for the time
2:05
being yeah Roman gets put back in the
2:08
lineup tonight a fantastic I picture
2:11
perfect type of goal with him and talk
2:13
about his performance tonight and the
2:15
grit that kind of brought to this yeah
2:17
we needed that we were missing it from
2:18
them and and we're going to need that
2:19
against this team and moving forward in
2:21
the playoffs if we're going to make any
2:22
type of noise Beyond this round so I
2:24
thought he moved his feet he had more
2:25
determination he was Stronger on pucks
2:28
uh so hopefully he can build off that
2:30
have his confidence get back a little
2:31
bit and be a big part of the the run
2:33
here um pirano um my M inaras left the
2:37
game early um no midor if any chance
2:40
either playing game three uh yeah
2:41
there's a chance we'll just have to see
2:43
what's going on and then Ashbrook again
2:45
just continuing to be that guy for you
2:48
guys in the lineup when you need that
2:49
goal every a point for game right now
2:51
his performance is playoffs St yeah he's
2:54
awesome he's one of our better players
2:55
he's one of the better players in the
2:56
league and do a little bit of everything
2:59
so this will be a really good rest for
3:01
him he'll get a little bit more jump and
3:02
a step even though he's got six goals in
3:04
the playoffs so far so can't ask a whole
3:06
lot
3:07
more Matt Steve an you the lineup game
3:10
three uh we'll see he's working on
3:11
something so we'll see what
3:14
happens thanks guys have a good one
3:17
thanks
3:21
BR obviously this isn't the way you guys
3:24
want to go in norol down 20 what's your
3:26
message to the team going down North for
3:28
three yeah we just got to play desperate
3:30
hockey here I mean you got to win four
3:32
games it's hard I mean seven game series
3:34
we just got to uh yeah play desperate
3:37
hockey and uh and stick with it I think
3:40
uh there was moments in that game where
3:41
our attention kind of got off the game
3:44
for a couple minutes and was focusing on
3:46
some of those calls but I mean yeah we
3:49
just got to stick away it you know
3:50
Travis browman back in mil tonight get
3:53
on the scor You Beautiful go s harano
3:56
that's got to be nice having a guy like
3:57
ran back in the lineup yeah I've said
3:59
all along we have such a deep lineup I
4:01
wouldn't want to be peed every night I
4:02
mean he's got to make tough decisions
4:04
every night we got guys guys that are
4:06
sitting out that are that would be
4:07
playing on other teams no matter what so
4:09
it's it's it's tough for those guys to
4:12
sit out but I mean they come right back
4:13
into the lineup and for him to come back
4:15
in and make make a statement like that
4:17
it's pretty cool for sure you know
4:18
obviously the schedule has really been
4:20
against you guys you guys finally get a
4:22
couple days of rest how big is that
4:24
going to be for you guys heading into
4:25
game three yeah it's huge I mean get our
4:27
legs fresh are freshened up again and
4:29
and yeah keep rolling here I mean uh it
4:32
was tough we put ourselves in that
4:33
position to go to game seven and then we
4:35
had to turn right back around and and
4:38
play again but yeah I think uh being
4:41
fresh would be huge for us it's
4:43
obviously a tough place to play Down In
4:45
gol against this really tough our whole
4:46
team any changes that you guys need to
4:48
make to these from of these first couple
4:50
games to really come down and and win a
4:52
game three yeah I think um staying off
4:56
staying focused on our game we can't
4:58
control the calls or or some of the
5:01
stuff that's going to happen it's going
5:02
to be focusing on our game and making
5:05
sure that we we're all staying uh yeah
5:08
staying dialed into the game I mean yeah
5:10
we can't control what they're going to
5:11
do so we got to try to control our
5:13
energy and make sure it's in the right
5:15
place impressed by the performance Side
5:17
by you guys in front of polter the way
5:19
that you played not just you know in
5:21
general in front of it but close to the
5:23
net those inti type of play yeah 100%
5:26
that's something that uh we knew we had
5:28
to focus on there're a team that loves
5:29
to just throw pop with the net and uh
5:31
and try to hammer them in so yeah I mean
5:34
defensively we we did a good job I mean
5:37
there's a couple balances the one off
5:38
the back and that on the power play and
5:40
then they they poke that in but yeah I
5:42
mean the guys are the guys are working
5:43
hard you can't I can't be upset with the
5:46
effort in the
5:48
room luck all set thank you guys have a
5:52
good
5:56

6:00
back on the score sheet down here me uh
6:04
I mean it yeah it's nice to get on the
6:05
score sheet but at the end of the day
6:07
winning the game is what matters so like
6:09
cool that I got a point tonight but
6:11
don't really care about that would
6:13
rather not going a point and win so
6:16
what's the message to the team kind of
