All right, Coop, prior to the start of this game, you talked about creating those winning habits. You guys don’t get two points tonight, but you get one. Biggest positive takeaways in this one. Uh, listen, we gave ourselves a chance to win. And for a large portion of this game, I really like the way we played. Um just you know it’s a it’s a tough man cuz you know you can make mistakes in games and make more mistakes than than we did tonight and win games and sometimes you just make a couple and uh it doesn’t go your way. So um but we got better as a team this entire uh this entire trip and you know ultimately we played it back to back. We got three out of four points. We did that all year. I’d be loving it. So, um, we’ll, uh, we’ll take the three and four and regroup and go in another road back to back. John, you lose Croer early there. You know, how does that kind of change things when you’re down only to 5D? Come on. You lose a defenseman in the first period and you got to play five the rest of the way against, you know, big, strong, fast team like that, it wears on you. I thought the guys uh did a hell of a job. Um, so, you know, a big- time effort by them and, you know, hopefully Crow’s going to be okay. Is uh, is he he you think he’ll be okay? I mean, obviously this is a guy who you No, I think he’s going to play the next game. No, I don’t. Um, you the way you guys scored on the power play, you saw pointer back in the in the bumper spot, you know. How do you think that that’s I know it’s early but you know how the power play is kind of well we have you know there’s we’re not just one look there and we got a couple righties that can switch in and out and um you know if one wasn’t generating much we flipped it around and um you know right before that pointer had a heck of a look and and but it set up what you know the goal we scored so um you know obviously a goal we needed and it was big the power play came through. Didn’t seem like there was that much out there tonight. I mean, in terms of like No, it was uh it was a tight checking game and u both goalies played well. Um you know, unfortunate how this one ended. Um it’s tough when you don’t have the puck in overtime and um they got the draw, we didn’t. And never got to touch it and so that was unfortunate just how how good was Vasilki tonight? as he’s gotten better with every single game and I thought he was in command of his game tonight and so it’s uh you know it’s good for him and
