Smith Talks SportsCenter-Worthy Goal | Sharks vs. Mammoth Post-Game (12.1.25)

Well, um, just talk about this game. Uh, three to two, but it seemed like Utah was making a push right there at that time when you scored. Yeah, there was a lot of momentum swings. Um, I think hockeyy’s like that where um, stuff can happen and the whole game can change. So, um it was good that we stuck with it and um got a lot of insurance goals there. Just what did you see on your first goal there and those peaks you made? Yeah, it was uh kind of like like happened quick and um I just remember M dropping at me and then um kind of just had to make up my mind quick and try to get on that and luckily went five. When’s the last time you scored a goal with that many dangles in a game that worked? Maybe BC. What’ you guys think of your line tonight? Obviously Mack has three assists, you get three points, Foley gets four points. Just looked like from the start your line was really going. What was working well for you guys? Um I think it was about time we kind of have a little bit of a breakthrough game where um you know tough had that that great one to start. Um I think that just kind of start us up there and um rest of the game it was I thought it was jelling pretty good. That that guy that’s a guy who’s been struggling and he’s been the last couple games here getting chances. Did seeing him score give the whole team just some extra juice? Yeah, we weren’t too worried about him. So, well, a dominant performance. You guys never trailed, never tied. Um, what was your uh focus coming into this game after the Vegas loss? Yeah, I think um we knew we wanted to bounce back good. Uh Vegas is a great team. It was it was a tough game there. So, I think um at home we knew we were going to have some some momentum with the fans. So, I think we want to jump on him quick and it was a big game for the standings. A couple more goals tonight. You got a couple go games. How much confidence are you playing with right now? Yeah, trying to shoot a lot I think. Um, more you shoot, you have a better chance of scoring. So, I think um yeah, just try to get pucks on net and then see what happens. Um, Alexovich after the last game he said that he’s been trying to tell you to shoot more. Is that the message from Ned and the coaching staff? Well, it’s a good message if your goal is telling you that the crowd was giving it to J quite a bit there tonight. You see what happened at the opening face off there. Yeah, I did see that. All fun in games. Fans stick up for for Sharky here. There you go. Yeah, they picked up on it pretty quick. I was kind of surprised. Now, were you uh focused on getting a hattick or are you more focused on keeping the lead? Maintaining the lead that you guys had. Maintain the lead. Okay. Thanks, Vinnie. Thanks. I’ll take out. Thanks.
