When you had pledged the playoffs?
Not asked about the game.
I will ask you about the game.
I just wanted to ask you that first.
Yeah, it's hard to answer that question right now.
But obviously unbelievable.
I'm happy for the city.
I'm happy for all the guys that have been grinding here for years
like the equipment manager, the trainers.
You know, my teammates, I mean most of the people in the city.
Wow, this is going to be special, that's for sure.
No, we can get to the game.
Just seem like the guys are saying you guys hung your goal tenders out to dry
and just you weren't there until you got to 3-2.
Yeah, that was terrible effort.
It was not even close to being good today.
For us, you guys have seen a lot of desperate opponents lately.
How do you guys rage your game to match with some of these other teams
who are putting out time?
I mean, I think it just, we got to look ourselves on the mirror.
No one is playing their best hockey right now.
So we have a big day tomorrow.
Get ready for the next one because we have to build a game
going into playoffs, that's for sure.
Defensively, what do you think happened?
There was a lot more in Russia than we used to see it.
Yeah, we were down early.
Then you're trying to force stuff when you're trying to come back in games.
It's never a good thing to be down 3 that early.
I think everything starts there.
We can't let that happen.
There are too many games recently you've been getting down early
and you're chasing games for a while.
You guys were scoring almost every game first
and then making them chase you.
Are you chasing teams too much lately?
Yeah, definitely.
It's not our game.
You have to take chances to come back in game,
especially when you're down 3-0.
It's not a position we can't be in the position again.
We got to start off better.
What do you got to work on to get the defensive game back
to the standard that you guys are used to?
Tata back in.
We got to get back to how hard we worked.
When we were successful, it was a grind.
It was unbelievable how hard we worked,
and how many shots we were blocking,
how much we sacrificed our bodies.
We got to get back to that.
I don't know why it is,
but we got to look ourselves in the mirror right now.
What do you think Monday is going to be like?
The building is going to be crazy.
The game should be crazy again,
as well as Tampa's family.
You guys need to find your game.
I mean, how good time they might be.
Yeah, it's a good thing.
We're going to be ready for that game,
so it's going to be a fun match.
