“Boys Bailed Me Out There” | Colten Ellis After Buffalo Sabres Shootout Win Over Minnesota Wild

the Kel Capri off experience like I mean right from the first minute he had to deal with the wraparound. Yeah, I mean he’s hell of a player. Um you know it was cool getting to go against him tonight and um he had a few chances. He got one on me for sure but you can just see how how he can control the game and um yeah just what an exceptional player he is. When you guys got the tying goal, you got a big break. I mean what was your mindset at that point in trying to keep that game even and get you guys a point and get it to overtime? Uh, I think like the whole time throughout the game is just next save, next shot. And um, you know, not getting too kind of far ahead of myself. I’m not even sure how much time we had left in third when we score, but obviously there’s there’s quite a bit of time left, so you just got to kind of approach it the same way as if we were down a goal and just make the next save. How do you stay composed in OT when your guys are backed up? You know, there’s going to be some great a chances there. Favor had those ones right in front of the net. Is is it just in your nature to stay calm there? Yeah, I think so. I think that’s what kind of makes me me. So, um, you know, just cuz it’s OT, I’m not going to change anything in my game. And, um, you know, the more comfortable I get just sticking to that and, um, I think, you know, that’s what’s going to bring me success. What was the shootout mentality and boys bailed me out there pretty good, um, we’re going to we do a lot of shootouts, but um, back home, but I think we’re going to have to do a couple more now. But it stops Zillow. That’s pretty good. He scores on those most often. Yeah, I had a little help from a bad ice or something there. I think you had quite a bit of room, but I mean at the end of the day, we got the the extra point there, so I’ll take that. You guys, you know, had won four out of five and all of a sudden you drop two and, you know, it’s a a bit of a back and forth season here. I mean, what was the mentality coming to this game? Because yesterday was a downer for everybody. The way you played, you know, get a goal and make the long trip back to back. What was the thought coming into this one? Um, I think there was a lot of good from the game last night. You know, like I think we put up 40 some shots and, you know, they’re playing the right way and I think, you know, we’ve been playing the right way the last couple games um even though we haven’t necessarily won um the last two, but um I think we just got to stick to our game plan and um you seen it here tonight. We really played hard and I think we outplayed them for for a lot of the game and um just sticking to that and uh we’re going to have success with that.
