  Speaker 1: just there's some short handed situations there.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: What did you make of what you saw?
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought again, I thought we had guys make
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: real solid contributions. I thought, you know, John Hayden did
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: a really good job. He helped out on the penalty kill,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: you know, and and obviously you know Mahera with the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: goal at the end, you know, stepping into a situation
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: or a position. You know, we've put him in in
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: that position and exhibition as well where he's played on
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the power play.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: So you know he has it was.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: It was really good to see and I thought our
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: guys stuck with it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You know. It wasn't perfect by any stretch, but it was.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It was a pretty good hockey game for us in
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: a very very good building.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It it is early in the season, but is it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: important to come away with two points in the situa
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: when you're playing an overtime game like that for the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: third night in a row in.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The previous two you got one to psychologically, Yeah, very
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it's huge. Yeah, it's huge.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, to maybe not come away with two
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: points tonight would have been super disheartening because we've been
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: in that situation, you know, the past couple of games.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But you know, we're in tight hockey games. It's the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: way it is.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's the fourth overtime game in a row,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: so we expect to be in tight hockey games for
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the most part, and we have to be comfortable playing
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: in those games. And it was nice to see our
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: guys get rewarded for what they've done.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: With playing all that overtime.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: How much do you kind of look at that when
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: it comes to, you know, last time, what you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Know, what you need to adjust for this time with overtime.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you definitely take different looks at at overtime.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And there was a play in our first overtime game
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: where shafeied or got the pocket came down the ice
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: on Jordan Eber. They were trying to avoid those types
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of situations, you know, so you you do some work
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: on it, but at the end of the day too,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I think our guys have done a really good job
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: of using their instincts and yuh on the three and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: three and have.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Done a real good job of uh controlling the puck.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You know. For me, it's probably the best I've seen
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for a while way.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: The uh five games you guys have played so far
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: this season, what have you liked about how you've approached games.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: In terms of the features.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've enjoyed that a lot. Actually, I think our
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: team's competing. You know, there's there's things that happen out there,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: but they're not for a lack of trying. And you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that's really the the number one first message we had
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: at training camp, and our guys have embraced that and
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: they're doing a great job of it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: What have you seen from Shane right, It's make him
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: so effective? Well, he's uh, he had a great game tonight.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I think for me, Uh, Shane, when he's moving his
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: feet right and when he's having confidence that he you
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: know that he can keep the puck and.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Own the puck.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Uh, he's gonna continue to have more success.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So I thought I had a really good game tonight, Wane.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You see the jersey you're wearing too.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It was important for you guys to kind of do
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that and express support for the Marriags as they go
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: for the World Series. So well, I think it's mutual.
• 3:07

• 3:12
  Speaker 3: We're just wearing our jersey after they won, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: in in in the locker room, and you know, I

• 3:54
  Speaker 3: people in the organization from top to bottom, the players
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that were on the ice tonight against us. But yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I mean for me, it's it's you know, we get
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: we get a win, and we keep going and it
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: doesn't really matter who we're playing.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: What would you think of.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Tail jumping into the the role he did and getting
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: some powerfully time and kind of handling that role with money.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Out to Yeah, I thought he did a good job.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Uh you know, it's tough when you haven't played for
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a little bit, and he I thought he handled that
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: very well. I thought he played well in exhibition. There's
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: a reason he's here right now. And you know he
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: played well and and and he's kept himself ready to go.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: UH.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: What people don't see behind the scenes is his UH
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: work ethic on UH days off and days when you
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: know we're having games.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: And he's not in the lineup.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, if you do that and if you
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: take the right approach, you give yourself a chance to
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: have success when you do draw into the lineup.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Thinks good.
