definitely got clicking tonight that
0:38
must have felt good yeah definitely we
0:39
needed that it's been a while and uh
0:41
it's been tough so it was good we worked
0:43
on it a lot this week and it really
0:44
helped how big does the game like
0:45
tonight you know even though you know
0:47
you tell an nor team who came in late
0:49
last night you know but this has got to
0:50
be huge for you guys just to kind of
0:52
start off on the right track here after
0:53
get and how big was that those e DS off
0:55
for you guys yeah definitely it helped a
0:57
lot it was a nice reset um you know some
0:59
guys got a way got to go home things
1:01
like that I definitely went home saw my
1:02
family so that was really nice and uh
1:04
huge win to start this second half here
1:06
you think you know just being able to
1:07
have that little reset you know with the
1:09
losing Street kind of makes you guys
1:10
forget about it comes in you guys all
1:11
come in here with like a clear set of
1:13
mind yeah definitely we all thought of
1:14
it as a fresh start had like a week to
1:15
get back into it and get ready to go and
1:18
uh definitely it's pretty rare to get
1:18
that time off during the year so it was
1:20
big you know 10 out this year you know
1:22
obviously you guys haven't had the
1:24
record you guys would have liked to have
1:25
at home but just talk about you know
1:27
these fans still coming out even when
1:29
you guys aren't playing it at your
1:30
highest level yeah they're incredible I
1:32
mean they're so supportive it's it's
1:33
really great to see we had a like season
1:35
ticket holder event and so many good
1:37
people supporting us so it's really
1:38
awesome how do you guys use a game like
1:40
tonight as momentum going into you know
1:42
the next couple games here yeah I think
1:43
it's good to see that if we play that
1:45
way we can you know take it to some of
1:46
the best teams in our division so a
1:48
little confidence Builder and uh try and
1:49
keep it rolling thanks a lot yeah
1:51
awesome big win yeah it was pretty
1:53
exciting it's got to be good to get that
1:55
monkey off the back the winning the
1:56
losing streak excuse me yeah absolutely
1:58
that's the most fun part of hocky I mean
2:01
every time you show up at practice and
2:02
there's days that are a grind and it's
2:04
all just so that you can win as a team
2:06
so it's pretty fun when this happens
2:08
three-point night for you seems like
2:09
almost every night you and O'Neal are
2:11
putting up at least two or three points
2:13
yeah I mean it's all comes back to
2:14
practice we've been building that
2:16
chemistry and uh we're we're both being
2:18
drivers right now uh everybody wants the
2:20
puck and that's what's creating those
2:21
teams you know how big is this for you
2:23
guys you know obviously you guys get
2:24
that e day break with the All-Star break
2:26
and just start start the uh start the
2:29
second half on
2:30
on the right track yeah it's big this
2:32
game's a game of momentum so that's what
2:34
it's all about is trying to get the the
2:36
boys in a Groove and and keep improving
2:38
you want to be playing your best hockey
2:39
at the end of the year this has got to
2:41
be a huge win for Brennan you know BR
2:43
goes up to UDA for thend and tur you
2:46
know the big bounce back game for him
2:47
tonight absolutely he was uh he was a
2:50
wall and that's that's part of the the
2:52
beautiful part of our game is that when
2:54
when guys go down or guys get called up
2:56
uh other guys have to step up um and
2:58
it's pretty cool to watch how important
3:00
was this past week you only had one game
3:02
last weekend you had a whole week to
3:04
practice and sort of regroup as opposed
3:06
to you know just this grind of you know
3:10
game after game yeah exactly it's big
3:12
just to work on some things and like I
3:13
said build that chemistry but also just
3:16
allow guys to get healthy uh and get
3:18
back to playing with a more of a full
3:20
lineup how do you guys use game like
3:22
tonight you know as momentum going to
3:24
the rest of the week going to tomorrow
3:27
well definitely putting up what was it
3:28
six goals I mean that allows not allows
3:32
but that drives us to to play with more
3:34
confidence um so so that's a big piece
3:37
of it um and then you know like I said
3:40
on the ice it's a game of consistency
3:42
and that's what makes teams great so um
3:45
at the same point you know we got to be
3:46
able to just flush it and start right
3:48
over power play was clicking tonight
3:50
that must have been nice yeah really
3:51
nice we've been working on it practice a
3:53
lot and uh the puck movement's getting
3:55
way better our our reads are more
3:56
connected uh we're arriving at the net
3:58
on time which ISU will do a couple of
4:00
those goals uh and every role is being
4:02
filled really well right now uh went did
4:04
a great job finding space in the middle
4:06
boomhower doing a great job clearing out
4:08
space in front of the net and then it's
4:10
just important that Kevin and I and
4:11
Brandon stay Shooters than a lot thanks
4:14
guys green jerseys you wanted yeah I
4:16
would pick dark or green but I think
4:18
they look I like them a lot I thought
4:20
they look good and thankfully we played
4:21
hard in them
4:23
so you know you say you don't care about
4:25
wins and losses but it must be nice for
4:26
the team to get back in the win column
4:27
tonight yeah I mean we want to win I
4:29
want to win I love winning I hate losing
4:32
but I know if you work your hardest and
4:33
do the right things that the results
4:35
come to you I don't think we should have
4:37
lost however many in a row it was I
4:39
think we had opportunities that we
4:42
squandered um but it's hard to bounce
4:44
back when you have the type of group we
4:46
have right now of how young and
4:47
inexperienced we were to go through that
4:49
but hey it's life it's it's kind of good
4:51
to go through challenges and as long as
4:53
you keep your head up and keep working
4:55
how big of a game is that for Tyler
4:57
Brennan huge I just talk to him about it
5:00
like keep keep up with your office
5:02
habits now we don't get um too high or
5:04
too low and he's going to have a couple
5:06
days now to to prepare for his next game
5:08
as we'll give him a little rest tomorrow
5:10
and um he's a young goalie it's hard he
5:13
feels the pressure he's got fans going
5:16
up to him asking him you know why he's
5:17
not playing well it's like well well you
5:19
try it fans you put the gear on we'll
5:21
see how you do right so um I think it's
5:24
uh it's very difficult to be in a
5:26
situation I thought he played very well
5:27
tonight you know you talked about
5:29
discipline you know for keys of the game
5:31
you know like norol they're going to
5:33
play a physical game like the way they
5:34
did what your thoughts in the way you
5:35
guys kept your tonight slew footing
5:37
someone and then turtling and not
5:39
fighting I don't think that's exactly
5:41
how the game should be played so I'm not
5:42
super impressed with 13 uh from their
5:45
team I don't think you should SLE foot
5:47
and if you do you should probably answer
5:49
the Bell so I think that's I don't like
5:51
that I think that he's an effective
5:52
player um I'm glad that we kept our cool
5:56
and and we always try to play within the
5:57
confines of the rules of the game KT
6:00
gothan a four-point
6:01
night yeah now he's hurt so it's too bad
6:04
to see that hopefully he's uh recovers
6:07
quickly but yeah um it's nice to see
6:10
guys get their cookies especially when
6:11
we win coule games ago you said this is
6:14
the team we're going to play with you
6:17
you know you intimated that you weren't
6:19
going to keep bringing in new guys so
6:20
much that's got to give the guys here
6:23
some confidence just to feel that hey
6:24
maybe we're a group now you know what
6:26
I'm saying yeah sure they always got to
6:28
be on their toes though you know
6:30
throughout my entire career I literally
6:32
came to the ring scared that my name
6:34
wasn't going to be on the board and
6:35
that's not those aren't words that's
6:37
actual fact I was scared to come to the
6:39
rink not knowing even if I had a hat
6:40
trick tonight before I hope coach liked
6:42
the video right so we do like the group
6:45
we like the pieces that we have we still
6:47
have um keesan Dy who will be getting
6:50
back in our lineup uh who's going to add
6:52
a lot of spunk a lot of energy some
6:55
skill uh and grip all that willingness
6:58
he's an 80k style player
7:00
so um it's trending in the right
7:02
direction but it's just one game we got
7:03
to take it day day by
7:06
day you know Kevin O'Neal can't stop
7:09
getting points it looks like and him and
7:11
Josh fman continuing went and Greg Smith
7:14
with that great play yeah there's a lot
7:16
lot of good things tonight you know they
7:17
were tired they got here at 5: in the
7:19
morning they played a hard fought game
7:21
to shootout last night so thankfully we
7:23
jumped down and played the right way and
7:25
played a pretty good 60 minutes so um
7:27
it's nice to have some chemistry with
7:28
Kevin and filon and winter on their five
7:31
on five play I thought they were really
7:33
good on the power play uh but every time
7:35
we got the puck below the goal line
7:37
first goal below the goal line goal
7:38
second goal below the goal line goal uh
7:41
the third one was a little bit more
7:42
fancy but fourth one below the goal line
7:45
goal so there's a theme and there's a
7:48
way that we want to play and we've got
7:49
to stick to it power play was clicking
7:51
tonight yeah moving the puck well we got
7:53
went in the middle uh the puck did the
7:55
work and we got bodies to the net so
7:58
save just h Gotham tomorrow yeah safe to
8:02
say and uh music get first start it's
8:05
looking that way yeah um we'll give
8:07
Tyler a rest let him get reset get the
8:10
office habits going plan on seeing him
8:12
again on Wednesday and Co be tomorrow
8:14
well you know just talk about bringing a
8:16
guy in like Colby who's played his ass
8:18
off in the in the SBA to finally get a
8:20
chance here yeah he's excited he jumped
8:22
right on the opportunity right away his
8:24
one phone call he got in his car and
8:25
he's and he was here last night on the
8:27
ice with us this morning so uh we want
8:29
guys that want to be here understand
8:31
what the opportunity is and just kind of
8:32
hit the ground running not think too
8:34
much you know like you say it's eastl
8:35
you never know where it's going to go
8:37
you start off with you know forend in
8:39
Brer and um Brennan in BR and now you're
8:43
done to Brennan yeah it's crazy I mean
8:46
you never know what's going to happen I
8:47
think we used 10 11 goalies my first
8:49
year coaching so yeah plug and play um
8:53
do your best is it looking a longer term
8:55
injury for fendon it's going to be a
8:57
couple weeks for sure was something that
8:58
he was battling
9:00
and he was getting you kind of
9:01
maintaining it and then practice the
9:03
other day kind of it got a little bit
9:05
worse so now it's to the point where we
9:06
can't uh can't Patchwork anymore he's
9:09
got to take some time off and actually
9:10
fix
9:11
it thanks a lot thanks guys one and half
9:16
that must have been a huge win for you
9:18
knowing the way you know after two two
9:19
rough games to come back the way you
9:21
played tonight knowing that Bron got CAU
9:22
up and basically you're the only guy
9:24
that started the year and still here
9:26
right now yeah I mean that's a that's a
9:28
big game for for myself and but most
9:31
importantly the team um we played full
9:33
60 Minutes tonight and they helped me
9:34
out um as much as they could and um I
9:37
sto this the shots I needed to you know
9:39
you guys had eight days off from your
9:41
last game wer how much is that going to
9:42
help you guys you know and especially
9:44
getting wi to start off the second half
9:45
here I think the the break we had was
9:48
was pretty good um we needed just a
9:50
little reset um things were to go in the
9:53
way we wanted to but um we worked
9:55
through it over the last couple weeks
9:56
and I think we're in a really good spot
9:57
now you know 10 sellouts this here for
10:00
for ader de just talk about the fans
10:02
here and you know it's been a tough
10:04
season but they're still here you're
10:06
still showing up yeah I think it shows a
10:08
lot about uh who they are when um
10:11
stuff's not going the right way um and
10:13
they still show up every single night so
10:16
um it's it's absolutely unbelievable and
10:18
really special the fans we have here um
10:21
I wouldn't want to be playing in front
10:22
of anyone else in the league and I know
10:25
for a fact that no no buildings as loud
10:26
as this one you know it seems like you
10:28
know Austin tonight with with four
10:30
points you know O'Neal and uh Filman
10:33
have been playing great but it must be
10:35
nice to see everybody starting to click
10:36
here you know Smith with a point tonight
10:38
just must be nice getting everybody on
10:39
the board especially you know on a night
10:41
where you guys can pick up six gold get
10:42
everybody rolling yeah it's uh everyone
10:44
on the team played a hard 60 Minutes
10:46
tonight um even the guys that didn't get
10:48
on the score sheet still had
10:50
unbelievable game so um I think as a
10:53
group are really starting to uh gain a
10:55
lot of chemistry and I think um this is
10:57
just the start how big is this for you
10:58
guys you know knowing you know we guys
11:00
got two more at home been a season long
11:02
I believe it's seven or eight game Road
11:04
Trip yeah I think um before we head out
11:07
on the road I think it's good to play
11:09
some really good hockey in front of
11:10
these fans um they deserve to get some
11:12
wins and that's what we did tonight and
11:14
that's what we're looking to do the next
11:14
two home games thanks a lot
