“Smiling, hooting and hollering” | Alex Tuch After 8-4 Win Over Ottawa Senators | Buffalo Sabres

Alex, what about the response you guys had after the timeout? The confidence as a group could have been shaken. I mean, the timeout, you come right on the score place. Yeah, I know. I think it was uh we just wanted to kind of get them back in their heels and we got a break. Dona made a nice play up the wall and then good talk by the bench to tell us we had a little bit of two-on-one two and CL made a great play there. Got puck in the net. What can you say about what Josh Dan brings to this lineup? No, he’s a dog. He’s great. Uh, no, he’s been he’s been awesome. a lot of positive energy off the ice. Just a happy go-lucky kid. It’s just a lot of positivity. Just great to be around. A lot of fun to be around. And uh his work ethic is unmatched out there. So, it’s been great. Uh a lot of fun playing with him. You get him out there and then you have Benson back in the lineup. You got two guys that are playing that way. You guys seem to just really just generate feed into that. Am I not playing that way? You’re playing You’re a lot bigger than Yeah. No, Dy’s not that small. Benny’s a little bit smaller, but no, he uh I thought Benny had a really good game coming in, missing the first couple. Tough bounce there. Um he was itching, he was ready, he was excited. Um I thought he had a really good game. Uh turned the pucks over. Uh really tenacious out there. Um it’s a lot of fun playing with him, too. And obviously didn’t last that long, but I thought him and Tom would be really good. And then when jumped in or whoever we had short bench and everyone was just one after another, uh it’s a lot of fun. Did you guys fueled this team tonight? Was that a point did you reach a point where you said enough is enough or you said let’s reset? What fueled us? No, I think we just kept playing. I think we just played with a lot more speed tonight. Uh we were a little bit more a lot more assert assertive honestly. Uh we were just trying to have fun out there. Uh I thought everyone was smiling, hooting, hollering, a lot of energy. He was contagious. You feel on the bench even when stuff was going wrong. Um guys were very account taking accountability and they were going out there and trying to be better next shift. Uh, no one was perfect out there tonight, but I thought we were all working for each other, and that’s what it makes it easy. I mean, we’re able to help each other and make up for mistakes, and ended up turning a lot of it in offense, too.
