• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in the lineup and you've been there, you made an impact.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: It was after the game against Saint Louis that Glenn
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Gulletson said you guys needed a little bit more physicality.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: The hits were pretty heavily one sided, and it's just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: seemed like you guys have have played a different game since,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and specifically you've had a significant impact on that. What's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: been your mindset back in the lineup playing every night?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's just part of the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: game that I bring every night. And you know a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: big reason of why I'm here and and why I
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: signed here then why I chose to come here to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: cam on a PTO. You know, I was in Edmonton
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: and you know, watched a lot of the playoffs and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: talked to the you know, the staff and the coaches here,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you know what they want to add to the to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the lineup, and and that was something that they had
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: harped on. So that's definitely something I'm focusing on when
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I'm playing.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: You know, Adam, it's not easy to sit out then
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: come in and be the physical force you've been? How
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: do you stay short mentally knowing that that's a part
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: of your game you have to apply.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: It is definitely really hard, but you know it's been
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: ten years of doing that now, so you know you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: figure out your ways and you know that's how you
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: stay in the league as you stay ready and you
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: know when you're called upon, you do your job.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You guys are are on a roll and gully set
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: after the game against Utah. It's if you're just watching
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: at home, it probably looks a little different. Does it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: feel different? Does it feel like you guys who have
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: taken a step here and you're playing at a different level.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think so, you know, I think as physical as
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: as I've been, I think, you know, there's the credit
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to a lot of guys that have stepped up in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that department. And you know, when you play a team
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that you know has has defensemen and and forwards to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: play a lot of minutes. You know, when we have
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: our guys playing those minutes, you know, making it hard
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on them, you know, making them stop, making them turn
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: back finishing hits. Uh. It takes a toll.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: You know, when you get to overtime, you get to the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: end of the third period, you know, it makes a difference.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: You never know when that turn turnover is going to happen,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: because you know you've been pounding them all night. But
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you know, I think it's been a real, real team,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: collective effort when it comes to that department.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I know that this may be a loaded question, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Miko Ranthnin's goal in the third period. You guys are
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: are watching that happen. What's the reaction, I mean, your
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: professional hockey players, But do you ever go, oh my god.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I think if you iso cam me on the bench,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that might be exactly what it was. Yeah, that was
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: pretty incredible. I've I've seen a lot of great goals
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and played with some great players, but that was right
