  Speaker 1: We love to see that pure joy. Obviously, this is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a night you're never going to forget. You mentioned to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: me on the bench that that was your first time
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: playing in overtime. As you've taken a second to kind
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of decompress, what was the message in the room after
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that game for yourself? And obviously, how do you feel?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I feel amazing. That wasn't like, so I scored in overtime,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: like when it was in K-Chill, it was kind of
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Like I scored first goal the game
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: before and a second in overtime. But, I mean, I
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: didn't expect I was in overtime, to be honest. Like, thanks, Fooder,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to trust in me. Yeah. I mean, I was just
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: so happy when we scored a goal. That's all my
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: feelings right now.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Was there anything about that game that fueled you a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: little extra or I guess the momentum that you were feeling?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: What helped contribute to the success you had on the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: ice tonight?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. I have no idea. I mean,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: we're kind of playing good the last games. Yeah, we
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: lost the last game against Seattle, but I can't say
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we played bad. And I think I had chances the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: last game. The boys had chances, and I think maybe
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: luck was on my side today. So I think that's
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the key tonight.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And then just in terms of this group, obviously, the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: comeback mentality we've seen so many times for this team.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: What about a comeback or a resilient response after loss
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: have you seen from your group, especially this season?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I think that starts from the locker room, the energy
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you have before a game and between the periods. I think, obviously,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: character in the third period in overtime. That's the main thing.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I played in KHL, we won the championship,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and I just want to say character is the most
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: important thing.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Especially in that third period, what were some of the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: details that you guys started executing on that let you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: get back into the game and then win the game?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows Tampa has a lot of skill, and they
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like to cross high space and just put the puck
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: behind them and just go to forecheck because we have
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a really good forecheck in this league. I think we're first,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and I think that was the key in the third period.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: The Hayden line really stood out tonight. What did you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: see out of them?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I mean, thanks, Hayes, for this play. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: don't play by him. They played good tonight. You scored
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: your first and then you scored the OT winner. Which
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: one's your favorite at this point? It's hard to say.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, both. I can pick one. Just both of them.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Now that your first two goals are out of the way,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: is this the start of the offensive Dmitry Simashev in
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the NHL? We'll see. I don't have thoughts before a game. Oh, sorry.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I need to score a goal. I need to do assists.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I'm just playing. It's footed. Tell me on the bench.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just doing it. Thanks, Timba. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Congratulations.
