Hey, [Music] [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Hey, hey, [Music] hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. [Music] [Music] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. [Music] [Music] Do you feel it? [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Hey, do [Music] [Music] seems your team is finding ways uh over the last couple games to spend more time in the offensive zone. What’s keeping what’s keeping it from tilting the scales and and kind of lowering the high event nature of the games you find yourself in? Yeah, I don’t know. Um obviously I wish I had a good answer for you. I mean tonight special teams is a big part of it. I think especially on the PK we got to be better and then you know you give up a few great A’s I think you can look at the shot clock and whatever all that stuff but um we’re giving up good chances and didn’t really uh give ourselves a good chance to kind of help calms out tonight I didn’t feel like. Has it been tough to deal with the levels of frustration of not getting those two points or even one point? Yeah, I mean it’s it’s kind of crunch time here, right? Like we’re it’s almost Christmas and uh I think we’re either at 500 or right below it now. So, um, you know, I think there’s been times where we’ve kind of started to feel like our game’s going in the right direction, but, uh, hasn’t been consistent enough and and obviously, you know, it’s a it’s a results based league, so um, got to find a way to to kind of start winning these games. What did you feel like your line did well tonight? I mean, we spent some time time down there in in their zone, obviously, and um, I think when when we’re kind of at our best, it’s it’s simple hockey. um winning pucks back on the for check and kind of finding ways to get them to the net. How much of this is a confidence thing at this stage and trying to hold on to it? Yeah, I don’t know. Um you know, I I think about I don’t remember what the stat was, but I remember always seeing on the jumbotron last year of you know, our record. I think when we were leading going into the third period and um you know, you talk about that confidence. I felt like we always had that uh you know if we got up in a game we felt like we really knew how to how to styy the other team and um you know take away their chances and obviously we haven’t had that opportunity necessarily so much but um you know I think if if we can kind of start building here a little bit and trusting our defensive game and get back to to you know where we were at times last year where we’re really just smothering other teams that’s that’s going to be kind of our recipe and how we’re going to start winning more games. What’s the message after this one? Yeah. Um, you know, I obviously we haven’t talked much. It just happened. So, I don’t really know. I think there’s going to be a sense of urgency from all the guys, though. I think that’s, you know, this is the time of year, like I said, um, you know, obviously we have a lot of season left and and we have some opportunities here, but um, it feels like it’s crunch time here, so we got to find a way to start winning games. Comes in a loss, but what went well on that play to help you get on the scoreboard for the first time in a while? Yeah, was just that simple hockey kind of like we’re talking about, right? Like winning the puck back on the for check and and find a way to get to the net and taking a couple hacks at it. [Music] [Music] push back into these games the last couple times. This team was very good last year at fighting its way back into games. Does it feel uh can you put your finger around what’s missing this year? Um, no I can’t. I mean, I think we’re just we’re finding ways to lose games. I suppose the last year seemed like all these tight games we were coming out with the wins. This year we’re we’re kind of battling we’re battling back in games. Um I think that’s a big factor just battling back in all these games. It’s tough to come back from three goals down, two goals down every night. How do you turn the tables on that, Gabe? I don’t have an answer for you. I don’t know if there’s different flavors of a loss. I mean, there’s been some struggles here. Um, but in the last couple against Dallas and Boston, it seems like you guys are playing great until you’re not. Is that the way that it kind of feels that it’s moments? Yeah, I agree with that a little bit. I think just certain moments in the game, it seems like, you know, we’re making mistakes and we’re getting punished on every one of those mistakes. Um, that’s kind of how hockey goes sometimes. Sometimes you get the puck bounces, sometimes you don’t. Uh, I think the big thing is, like I said earlier, just the the starts and not getting behind in games. Still have to play catchup every night. Um, PK, I think um that’s probably a turning point for you guys, but what’s the message on the bench or what’s the mood on the bench as they get those two big ones? It’s not message, just you next shift. It’s not much you can do. They capitalize on their their power plays. I think we could have done a better job on on our power play. Obviously, we got the one, but uh we would have liked more. What worked on the between and yourself on that one goal? It worked. It was just good read by him. He he jammed and they gave him the jam and I was able to get the rebound. Thank you. [Music] Hey hey hey. [Music] [Music] [Music] I feel [Music] hey. [Music] [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Hey everybody. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] got the strong start. What concerned you most about the way the game turned in the first period? Two penalty kill. Two goals on penalty kill. Not good enough. I would I mean two offensive zone minors too. Is that Yeah, we see that you can put that on top of it and 200 feet from your net. Two stick infractions. So when you get a lead, that’s not obviously what you want to you want to give them an opportunity like that. Sure. Gabe Valardi sort of mentioned that it feels like every mistake you’re making is ending up in the back of the net. How do you kind of stop that and get it turned the other way? That’s I mean we’ll review it. We’ll talk about it um until we go out and you know on the ice paid attention to the detailed part of the game that way. Those things are going to happen. There was more great A’s given up tonight than than we’ve given up in a while. So real disappointing coming off what we were we had talked about after the Dallas game. And we’ve talked a lot about kind of progress in the last little while and I don’t know how you differentiate one loss from another, but is there extra frustration when you look so good until then the breakdown happens and it’s quite bad? Yeah, it just it seems like that whole game went in spurts. Um got off to a good start, got behind the eightball real quick, then we got um we got some real big momentum there uh at the end of the first. Um you know, we we got back into the game to make it 3-2. Um, you know, then thought there were stretches of the second where, you know, we’d all of a sudden there would be two, three shifts in a row and then we give up go down in our end and give up a couple of glorious opportunities against and it was just the inconsistency of kind of building off of uh, you know, good parts of the game and we just there were stretches there we’d go, you know, two or three minutes where we gave up great a opportunities. So, um, just got to keep hammering it home here. the you know the moments um you know there’s stress within a game and you got to be able to handle the stress and I’m not talking about the mental stress it’s the pressure that’s that builds and you know I mean that’s just part of as a pro hockey player you got to be ready for those moments be able to handle them better than we are right now I don’t know if this makes sense as a question but is there any sense of like the cavalry is coming Connor Halib’s close is does that creep into things a bit well obviously you know he’s a world class player that having him back is huge, but at the end of the day, if we’re going to give up those opportunities that we gave up tonight and, you know, maybe make those saves, but at the end of the day, those are two those are too big of uh moments that, you know, and at key times where we, you know, gave them opportunities. So, we have to clean up our game no matter which goalender’s in there. Obviously having him back is a big difference, but we got to clean up our game and it hit and we’re trending towards that and again there’s this big step back. It looked like on the PK you were trying pretty hard to pressure quickly. There’s a lot of pace to it and then sometimes there were breakdowns. Is that the goal or what was going on in that case? U I got to go back and look at I mean the the one we have a chance to clear the puck we don’t you know and then the next one you know again we’re trying to be aggressive and we get two guys in the same man and you know they make a back door play. So yeah it just I got to get I got to look at it again. We got to talk look it over here and see what we need to do. Morgan talked about you guys being a team last year that got up and was confident in shutting things down and it’s wearing a little bit that you’re find yourselves chasing the game so often, but even when you were chasing the game last year, you guys did a good job of doing that thing where you last five minutes you’d get in their zone, you’d set up and you’d apply the pressure. What’s keeping you from getting to that and and getting back into some? Well, I think there was a lot of that tonight. There was a lot of our forch check again was heavy and we got pucks back and um but at the end of the day it was it wasn’t long enough. It wasn’t you and it didn’t continue long enough and it we didn’t obviously capitalize on it either. We had some looks, had some rebounds, had some screens, had some tips, but at the end of the day it has to be that for you know you have to come out doing that not when you get down one or two goals and then all of a sudden get desperate. We have to be that way all the time. Thank you. Mhm. [Music] [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey.
