• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Mike Lane. Not probably how you drew it
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: up last night, but you come away with the win
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in Saint Louis four to three in overtime. Chandler Stevenson
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: record latest game time goal and team history. Another big
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: goal for Shane. Right, just take us through a very
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: up and down, wild game that ultimately ended up in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: your favor.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why you know, that's why it's sixty minutes, right,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and I guess sixty plus minutes. You could have played
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: quite a few of those this year. But you know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we I thought we played a thought we played a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: good game, and it would have been a shame had
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: we not come out with something in that game. You know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the bonus was to get the extra point and get
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the victory. Our team played hard. I thought we competed hard.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I thought we did a lot of good things in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: that game, and we were much better than we were
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in the previous game at home, obviously, So it was
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: good to see them take ownership of that and have
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: a great response.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Would you make of the crack in the biggest differences
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: between period one period two, they're down to nothing, they
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: tied the game to to where did you see the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: biggest momentum swing in that middle period.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I thought, again, I didn't think we played early in
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the first period by the way, you know, turnover ends
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: up in the back of our net. You know, we
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: can't do things like take too many men in the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: ice penalties. It's just not just can't happen, right, And
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I know it does happen, but those are the types
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: of things that you know, if we we want to
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: be successful and we we want to be the leite
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: team that we think we can be, we can't do that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So now all of a sudden, it's too nothing. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I thought we just kept with it offensively in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: second period. I thought we'd pushed forward. Our core check
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was great, and I thought we had a balance of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: our four lines all going. And you know, I thought,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, we we tilted the ice, so to speak.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And you know, I thought that was the biggest difference
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: maybe between the second period and the first period.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Some lineup changes last night. One of them is right
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Evans coming back in a goal and an assist in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: his season debut. Would you like about his game last night?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And then also some of the other changes that you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: made working out offensively as well as Ellie Tovinan with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a goal and two assist.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Also, yeah, I will Evan's clearly a fantastic skater. You know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I thought he added the spark that we needed and certainly,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, looking forward to seeing him, you know, throughout
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the season here, just to see him continue to get
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: better and better. And you know, Tolvy, we talked about
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Tolby before. You know, he's done a lot of good things,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you know, without the puck, and a lot of good
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: things away from the puck throughout the first I guess
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: thirteen games of the season, and you know, finally he
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: broke the icing game fourteen, and you know, we hope
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to have that continue. You know, I thought his line
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of Myers and carts they played very well.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Another game back to back. Matt Murray gonna go here today.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So I'll ask you the same question I asked you yesterday. Defensively,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: how important is that structure going to be to help
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a goaltender that hasn't played a lot of consistent minutes
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be critical. You know, it's not
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: easy when you come in you haven't played for probably
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: three weeks or whatever it is. We've got to help
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: them out, And I thought we did a good job
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: last night of helping groovy. You know, we gave them
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: nineteen shots our goal. And you know, I just think
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that we need to be solid structurally sound defensively. They've
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: got some offensive weapons, there's no question about it. Wyatt
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Johnson hints rant, and we've got to make sure that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: we contain these guys and do it with a team effort.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: In addition to that, what do you feel is going
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to be an X factor here tonight? I remember asking
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you after the last back to back set, you said,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: simply put Game two against Washington wasn't good enough. What
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: do you have to do here tonight for a good
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: enough performance to win?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just a level of compete our hockey team
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: now has to take. You know, at some point here
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: we have to take another step in our growth and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: understand that last night's game was one. It was one
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Emotionally late, it was all great, but as soon as
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we walked out of that building, it was over. And
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: this game now has to be won. So you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that's that's for me. It's a mental mindset. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the other part of it is is we've got to
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: stay out of the box. I've got a great power
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: play and so special teams will be certainly a key
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: here in this game.
