0:01
must been nice to at least to race that
0:02
two- goal deficit in third yeah
0:04
absolutely I mean we didn't quit that's
0:06
a a big plus to that game for sure you
0:09
know first two games from you guys
0:10
coming back from the uh little from
0:12
eight days off what your just your
0:13
thoughts on the first two games here uh
0:16
yesterday's game was awesome today's
0:17
game was a little bit bumpy to start but
0:19
we uh we found our groove again but uh
0:22
yeah I think we're making progress um
0:25
we're moving forward and and we're
0:26
getting better but uh yeah we just got
0:29
to play a full 60 every single game and
0:31
be consistent talk about the play of
0:32
Grant Lo in two goals tonight he been
0:34
great ever since he got here yeah I mean
0:36
he's just one of those guys that You'
0:38
love to have on your team he's uh always
0:41
working his butt off off the ice on the
0:43
ice that guy that guy's awesome I mean I
0:45
I'm very very happy that guy got
0:47
rewarded tonight with two goals cuz he's
0:49
just an awesome guy and he works his
0:51
butt off and he's a great teammate you
0:53
know must be nice to have a couple big
0:54
bodies you know gka yourself boomhower
0:57
get the tough norf team this week and as
0:59
we the first two games here yeah I mean
1:02
yeah that was a great F fight uh G's a
1:05
real tough guy and and he's uh both boom
1:08
and golks can both also play so yeah um
1:11
it's great to have them for sure what's
1:14
kind of the message kind of you know
1:15
after these two games heading into you
1:16
know Wednesday night before you guys hit
1:18
the road for season long I believe seven
1:20
game Road Trip is uh remember the
1:22
feeling from tonight cuz when you work
1:24
hard and you don't get the results it's
1:26
it's even worse than when you don't work
1:27
hard and when you lose you just kind of
1:30
ah but when you work your butt off and
1:31
give everything in a game and things
1:33
don't go your way you get a bitter real
1:35
bitter taste in your mouth so Wednesday
1:37
uh Wednesday will be exciting and
1:39
another good test for us save to say no
1:41
love loss between you guys in norol last
1:43
couple of games yeah absolutely no we
1:45
don't well I love playing them but on
1:47
the ice it's uh it's definitely not
1:49
friendly
1:52
than so two games for you guys after
1:54
having eight days off looks like the
1:56
team starting to turn around here yeah I
1:58
think uh we wanted to build on yesterday
2:00
I thought we played pretty well for a
2:02
lot of the game maybe not the first
2:03
period that we wanted but um you know we
2:06
showed spurts of really strong team um
2:09
yeah it came down to the end there
2:10
unfortunately um just uh you know kind
2:13
of a chiny call and um you know we want
2:15
to stay out of the box but obviously uh
2:18
frustrating that we didn't get to win
2:19
but um you know we're tring upward for
2:20
sure no question there's no love loss
2:22
between you and Norful yeah no um you
2:25
know I I think last year every time we
2:27
played them it was fireworks every game
2:29
and you know getting to play them in
2:31
playoffs um definitely added to that so
2:34
um I'd say it's probably one of our
2:35
stronger rivales for sure and uh yeah
2:37
it's fun must be nice having a like gka
2:40
gka ski Bower
2:43
yourself yeah for sure I think yeah it
2:46
adds a different element um you know you
2:47
know no matter who's on the ice uh you
2:50
know someone's got your back and um we
2:52
we're Team tough for sure um you know up
2:54
and down the lineup I think every guy's
2:55
willing to stand up for their teammates
2:57
and um you know just be tough and and be
3:00
hard to play against so um yeah that's
3:01
where we're strong for sure your line
3:03
had both of the goals tonight Grant
3:05
Lovin has played great since he's gotten
3:07
here against reward tonight with two
3:08
goals yeah absolutely he's been he's
3:10
been awesome since he've been here very
3:11
responsible um Center uh I love playing
3:14
with him um and same thing on the power
3:16
play yeah he was you know parked in
3:17
front of than that he just does all the
3:18
little things right and uh phenomenal
3:20
guy too so it's it's good to see him get
3:21
rewarded must be nice to have a guy like
3:23
Ryan Francis back in the lineup
3:25
absolutely yeah um yeah ever since he's
3:27
came back he's been a weapon for us um
3:30
you know he brings that element of skill
3:32
and and speed and uh you know I think we
3:34
were kind of missing missing him for
3:35
sure in the first half and it's good to
3:37
have him back what's the message kind of
3:38
going into Wednesday you know the last
3:40
game here at home you know only three
3:42
games at home in the month of February
3:44
you know big road trip for you guys
3:45
coming up here yeah I think we just got
3:47
to build on um the last two games
3:49
obviously you know we're split with them
3:51
right now um on the weekend and uh you
3:53
know I think if we come out Wednesday
3:54
with a win it's it's a pretty good
3:55
weekend for us um you know so I think we
3:58
just take the positives um you know fix
4:00
whatever needs to be fixed but um you
4:02
know I I think we're feeling good about
4:03
our game right now do games like this
4:05
weekend prove to you guys you guys can
4:06
basically compete with anybody yeah I
4:08
think uh you know no matter who we're
4:10
playing against um I think we got to go
4:12
in with that mentality you know we got
4:13
to play on our toes and and uh you know
4:16
doesn't really matter who we're playing
4:17
just play our game and and stick to our
4:19
game plan and don't stay away from that
4:21
um you know if you start looking at who
4:22
you're playing against and kind of you
4:24
know thinking about other guys on the
4:26
team uh you start to play on your heels
4:28
and uh usually ends up like
4:30
Kobe m is a guy got called up from the
4:32
SPL right away you know you guys started
4:34
the year with three
4:36
goenda a tur bur gets called up just the
4:39
nature of the ECHL but you got to be
4:41
happy with him coming in tonight yeah
4:42
absolutely yeah like you said it's the
4:44
nature of this league um just crazy a
4:46
lot of movement up and down um and it's
4:47
usually this time of year that that

4:51
since he's been here um a great addition
4:53
to W great guy so um we're excited to

4:57
tonight I thought you know he made every
4:59
save because and uh you know he almost
5:01

5:05

5:13
lighted out last night um yeah he he
5:15
came in with a different kind of
5:16
confidence yesterday I could just I
5:17
could tell before the game um it's good
5:19
to see uh he's a great golender um young
5:22
golender and uh you know I know it's in
5:24

5:33
you tonight last felt
5:35
nice oh yeah no always feels good but
5:38
you know we played a good team game we
5:40
could control all the balances and
5:42
that's what kind of got us the bad
5:43
balances but we'll take the good and go
5:45
from there you know eight days off seems
5:48
to really help you guys you know you

6:11
time off and let everybody heal up I
6:13
know that we've had a lot of injuries
6:14
and a lot of adversity we've had to face
6:16
