  It seems like it's been a consistent theme here that we're playing really well and
• 0:11
  we're having trouble scoring goals. And I'd love to say it's because you know,
• 0:15
  we're playing on the perimeter and we're not in front, But I just
• 0:19
  watched three chances where we're right on the doorstep we're not scoring. I thought
• 0:26
  the five on three for the two minutes, I thought it was excellent.
• 0:29
  We had chance at the chance, and we hit a post. And I
• 0:35
  don't have any answers right now. I'm very happy with the way our team's
• 0:40
  playing. I don't think anybody who's watched us over these seven games can say
• 0:44
  that our compete and our effort and time and possession, we're playing the game
• 0:51
  the right way. Unfortunately, right now, for some reason, we're having
• 0:57
  trouble scoring goals. You guys are maybe you know what I mean. I
• 1:04
  think it's probably only natural when it's not going in well. Like I said,
• 1:11
  you know, we have traffic in front, the pucks are getting there,
• 1:15
  there's bodies in front. It's not just perimeter shots, it's it's a
• 1:19
  lot of how it shots from inside the house, And it just seems like
• 1:26
  every goalie is having his career night against us right now? Can you think
• 1:30
  of another time either here when you're at PC, that you were playing this
• 1:34
  well and the punk just refused to go in? Not like this? No,
• 1:38
  I can't. Uh, you know, you're talking about a solid six
• 1:47
  games now, you know. I mean, yeah, they puck went in
• 1:49
  finally at Union, but you know, two holy Cross games. I don't
• 1:55
  know. You could look up the stats two holy Cross games, two Union
• 1:57
  games and two Lowell games. Or do we have the shots last night?
• 2:04
  We haven't. Qu I think it's like forty three thing what't happen or forty
• 2:09
  But if you're talking about close to one hundred shots on the weekend and two
• 2:13
  goals, our goaltenders are the numbers are crazy good. But it's not fair
• 2:20
  to ask them just to keep keeping the game at zero or one, you
• 2:23
  know, I mean, we have to be able to score goals. So
• 2:27
  you're happy with the quality of chances that you get. Yeah, I'm not
• 2:31
  happy the fact that we're not scoring. But you know, I just watched
• 2:38
  three or four from the third period where we're right and I didn't watch them
• 2:42
  all. We're right there on the doorstep. The shards there Percival's there,
• 2:47
  wood walks out, hits the post. Bradley's all alone in front, and
• 2:54
  you hit a lot of shots. But he didn't give up many rebounds,
• 3:00
  no, but you know when he did, he even made a save like
• 3:02
  what he gave up a rebound person who comes in. You know, there
• 3:07
  were some rebounds there early in the first but still like you would think that
• 3:14
  something's gonna go off of stick, go off a skate, and for some
• 3:17
  reason right now it's it's just not going in there for us. So we'll
• 3:23
  just keep grinding and keep working at it. Howle versed are you in the
• 3:25
  burning of stage? I don't know. I'll look into it the whatever it
• 3:30
  tastes. What did what happened on that low bull that they saw? What'd
• 3:36
  you see? It was unfortunate because Frasier hit the puck out, but it
• 3:43
  hit the referee and came back at us and a kid made a good shot,
• 3:47
  you know, So it was it was one of those unfortunate things and
• 3:53
  those are gonna happen. But the way we played that shouldn't have been enough
• 3:55
  for us to lose that game. What do you go into this week of
• 4:00
  practice? We're gonna do to try and keep it consistent, to try and
• 4:03
  shake things up, keep it loose. I don't know, Dan, I
• 4:10
  get a process out a little bit, but I don't think it's it's you
• 4:17
  can shake it up, But I don't know if that's the answer. There's
• 4:23
  three consistent lines creating a lot of scoring chances night in, night out.
• 4:29
  I'm not sure just switching it up is the answer, but maybe we'll see.
