  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was nice to obviously get the two points.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Gruby was incredible tonight like he always is. And, you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: we obviously had a little span in the third there where,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you know, we kind of got away from our game
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit, got a little tense and, you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: obviously got back to it. So, you know, it's obviously
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: nice to get the extra point there in the shootout
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and continue this good road trip.
• 0:51

  Speaker 3: And obviously, guys, you stood up to the task But
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: do you think that kind of started things going in
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: the right direction for Philadelphia, obviously grabbing two in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: third period and tying this up?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a little bit, maybe. I think at the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: end of the day, like we're not really focused on
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: what they're doing, what they're kind of got going on.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: You know, we talked about it between the second and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: third that, you know, we're going to try to stay
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: out of their their stuff and what they're trying to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: get going. So, you know. I guess, credit to them and,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you know, something that we can learn from here going forward,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you know, being able to hold on to leads and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: just play with a little bit more composure.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about Grubauer's play tonight before you
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: came on. Just talk about what it meant to have
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: him back there tonight with a 9-2-3 save percentage, stopping
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: 24 of 26.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's every night with him and Joe, too,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of course. We've got two incredible goaltenders that, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: no matter who's playing, that we feel so confident and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: in front of them with what they're going to do
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: behind us so you know they they make a lot
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of timely saves and and keep us in games when
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: or giving us a chance no matter what so you
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: know it's a privilege for us to have the two
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of them and you know especially like Grudenite it was
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: just you know incredible and then you're watching him in
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the shootout there and he just looks so calm and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: composed just making save after save to give us a
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: chance to go and win it and You know, like
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I said, it's amazing having both of them.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And I know you defensemen play a role in that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It wasn't tonight, but last game you had a nice
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: butterfly save there on the left side of the net.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Joined by Kraken defenseman Josh Mahura. One more for you, Josh. Unfortunately,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the Kraken not able to score five goals every night.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Some of them have to be a little bit tighter.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But what did it say about your group here, the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: effort tonight? It wasn't easy. It wasn't pretty. You won
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a close, tight, one-goal game. How did this game feel
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: different than the other ones?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I said, you go into the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: third up, too. It's never something you want to give
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: up to, you know, be going into overtime and into
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a shootout. But, you know, it's a credit to us
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and the group we have just to, you know, be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: able to put that behind us, stick with it, and,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you know, just carry on and try to get back
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to our game and get the second point there. So,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You know, we're not, like you said, going to score
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: five goals or whatever it is every night. And, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we want to get comfortable in these type of games,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: these close games, especially with the lead in the third.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Well, Josh, hey, man, thanks for the time. Congrats on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: your assist. Congrats on a big, gutsy win here tonight
