Daniil Tarasov Loses Florida Panthers Debut at Philadelphia Flyers

Yeah. And then like if we’re not looking for result, it was kind of good. Like I didn’t play a while like couple of weeks and yeah, it was kind of good. Like we got some shots. Yeah. In the first period was not that like hard enough probably beginning of the game. So yeah, it was just get in there, get some shots and felt really comfortable during the whole game. For the majority of that third period, the Panthers were really able to lock it down defensively. What’s the challenge for you as a goalender when you’re not seeing a whole lot of action? Yeah, it’s totally different like here like when we’re like getting an action and they’re like really pressure all period. It’s kind of kind of hard for like the old goalies. You need like stay calm and be really focused and like it shows like again they like get one chance and this can be like flip the game other way and yeah like for future just need more like concentrate and be like patient with those moment. Speaking of action, that one penalty goal in the second period you faced, I think you made five saves, stopping a lot of one-times, what’s kind of going through your head during that time when they’re in the zone pretty much the whole time? Um, I didn’t have any thoughts in my head actually like that time. Just trying to like make the other save and just be like kind of simple, stay in a crease, don’t do really much, just let it puck come to me. Back to back now coming up. How much you looking forward to to getting back in there for another start now that you got this first one under your belt? Um, yeah. I mean, it was kind of good like and was nice feeling, you know, like played that game. Yeah. Just kind of enjoy it. On their goal, the power play goal they scored in the third period. Was the fact that it came from behind you just made it really difficult for you to track where it were? Um, yeah, it was kind of like this scramble in front of the net and it was like kind of like quick play and I didn’t actually like see like just try to like save it then I how I can. Thank you.
