Warsofsky Says Sharks Have To Work Harder, Talks Misa & Dickinson’s Games

Coach, did you feel like today maybe was a little bit of a step back from how you guys played in the first two games? Yes. What maybe kind of led to that? It looked like you guys were in here for the most part and just kind of faded late. Yeah, I just didn’t think uh we had our juice. We didn’t have much energy. Um didn’t compete hard enough. Um midway through second period, Ekkin scores and you know, shots are about the are getting closer. Score obviously is tied. Because what happens from that point? Yeah, they took over the game. What could you guys have done better to compete competed harder? Was that the message during the timeout today? Yeah. What’s uh I guess the practice tomorrow? What’s the kind of the steps you guys have to take to kind of get back to what you guys are doing against Vegas? Yeah, you know, I think we we know what it looks like. We got to get back to feeling what it looks like and doing it consistently. So, that’ll be the message. How disappointing was it not getting any of those power play chances in that first period? Yeah, a couple looks. Um, it’s a good penalty kill. It’s a good hockey team. So, yeah, disappointing would go 0 for five. What’s the message to to Yeah, I mean it’s a it’s it’s about the team, you know. I thought did some good things. You know, I think he first game you only get one of them. So, we’ll look at the film and we’ll get better. just three games into the year, but you know, obviously this team wants to make strides this year. Does it just start with matching the opposition’s work ethic and just kind of go from there? That’s a fair statement. So, coach, when Ekan got the equalizer, how confident did you feel that you guys could pull this out and then later on the second period, they took everything over. So, what what what was happening at that moment and when did you see things start to switch? Um, you know, I I even thought going into the third period, you know, I know we were down two goals, but we that had been against us, you know, the last couple games, so we we felt pretty good finding our game. Um, but we just never were connected and um couldn’t really get anything going obviously offensively. Um, it was kind of man versus boys tonight. Switch the D pairs tonight. Just looked like they kind of struggled as a whole. What What do you want to see better from them, especially against a team like that where you guys are really working on a breakout? uh just overall everyone’s compete level to uh start the second. You guys had actually a few breakaways, you know, some momentum that way. Um in that kind of position, do you guys maybe kind of offensively kind of fall in love with trying to generate offense that way instead of just going back and playing basic hockey as well? It’s a fair statement. Even our goal we score where it’s pretty lucky goal. Doesn’t happen very often. you know, in those first four power plays, if uh you guys scored on that, maybe things would be a little bit different. Yeah, it could be, but that is what it is. One guy with the work I think maybe it was Nakovic, did you feel like he kind of, you know, held good rebound after that, you know, maybe back? Yeah, again, we we’ve given up 13 goals and plus four 17 goals if my math is adding up right in three games. That’s not going to win many hockey games. So, uh, it’s a total team effort of how we need to play defense and compete. Say the deep court wasn’t great overall time, but what would you think play a couple times like just watching the puck and not the man? Yeah, it’s it’s fast game out there. I think he learned that. Um, did some things he looked a little bit more confident. Um, but there’s awareness things that we got to work on. Thanks, coach.
