They Said It…<\/p>\n
Rod Brind’Amour\u00a0giving his assessment of the victory…<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t one of our better games, that’s for sure, but when you look at what we’re missing in the lineup, that’s to be expected. In the third period, we increased our effort level. It wasn’t a pretty game, but when you look at the little things, like Jordo winning all the faceoffs, getting a big goal by Fishy, and then Freddie made some big saves. That’s the game, the goalie made some saves for us, and we were able to sneak out of here with a win.”<\/p>\n
Jordan\u00a0Staal following the win\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was a good effort. There was a little lull in our game in the second [period], and Freddie came up big. He made some big saves throughout the whole game, but he was really good in the second to keep (Utah) at bay. The boys grinded in the third. I thought we had a good, solid, third period and had some big kills\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Frederik Andersen\u00a0sharing his thoughts on the performance…<\/p>\n
“Everyone just came ready to play. Some new guys got some opportunities to show what they’ve got, and I thought they’ve done really well. It’s been fun to see. Guys coming in and out of the lineup can sometimes be a little tricky, but I think we handled it well. Throughout the game, there were a lot of big plays being made, obviously getting the lead pretty quickly, and special teams was pretty good.”<\/p>\n
Frederik Andersen\u00a0on where he feels his game is at, after making a second consecutive start…<\/p>\n
\u201cI just like to feel like I\u2019m moving well. That\u2019s the key, feeling like you\u2019re in the right positions at the right time. Obviously, you\u2019re never going to be perfect, but as much as possible, just try to react and not get too robotic. That\u2019s the other thing \u2014 sometimes you can feel like you want to do everything perfect, and that slows you down a little bit. So just kind of be in the moment and enjoy the game too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jordan Staal on earning a second win in as many games with key players out of the lineup\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the way through the organization. You need depth everywhere. The guys that have come up played great and stepped in in their own way and helped us win games. It\u2019s been good, some key guys [are] getting rest for the final push here, and this is a great experience for (the guys who have come up).<\/p>\n
Jordan Staal discussing Andrei Svechnikov setting a new career high in points\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been steady all year long\u2026 For the most part, he\u2019s just been on the puck, tenacious, physical, strong, and the player we know he can be. It\u2019s shown all year long. He\u2019s just been a lot steadier, and it\u2019s good to see him rewarded.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jordan Staal on joining the 20-goal club for the first time in 10 seasons\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice. Obviously, I\u2019m not known for my offensive skills, but I always want to chip in that way and it\u2019s always nice to score goals. Fly was looking for me in the first [period], I could\u2019ve had three or four and was able to get one there. It always feels good. I\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rod Brind\u2019Amour touching on Jordan Staal hitting 20 goals\u2026<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s huge. Everyone\u2019s all about numbers, but hopefully it brings light to what kind of player he is. We talk about the Selke Award, just look at his game tonight. Just look at that game tonight and tell me how that\u2019s not a guy who should be winning that this year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They Said It… Rod Brind’Amour\u00a0giving his assessment of the victory… “It wasn’t one of our better games, that’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5,4,51,5290,232,5291,5289],"class_list":{"0":"post-551629","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-utah-hockey-club","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-utah","11":"tag-utah-hc","12":"tag-utah-hockey-club","13":"tag-utahhc","14":"tag-utahhockeyclub"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116396230202289433","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
