Tage, I took you guys a little bit time to get the offense going, but once you got it going, it worked for you. What were your overall thoughts about the hockey game? Yeah, not our best, but I think you're a little too perimeter, a little too cute with the puck in the first, not enough pox and bodies to the net. I thought, you know, we just kind of stay on the perimeter. Think, you know, lying another great game by him,
make some big saves and we need him. I think we did a pretty good job regrouping here in between the first and the second. And, you know, I liked our second. And even our third, I thought we had some good looks. Yeah. Is this the biggest Terry you've been on? You've have points in 30 out of your last 35 games. Is this one of the best streaks you've been on in this league? Um, yeah, I think that's probably the case. I would say, and obviously the team's playing good hockey and, you know, when you're winning games and you're playing well, you know, you get individual success that comes from that as well. So, yeah, I think that's probably the reason there. What is it that changed between the first and second periods for your team that really allowed your game to open up? The team's game. I think just more direct. Like I said, we were a little too perimeter in the first, a little too casual. I thought the second we played a lot faster, you know, didn't hold on to Pucks as long in the neutral zone.
Got it behind the goal line and established our forecheck. You know, I just played our brand of hockey. Did you kind of nice knowing if you don't feel like you played your best game tonight as a team? You just have to quickly turn it around. Mel and who's coming in tomorrow? Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter who you're playing there. Nashville's a good team. They work extremely hard. You know, I think it doesn't matter who you're playing in this league if you don't respect the game. You know, you'll find yourself chasing it and that's what happened to us there. But what that said, I think, you know, all season we've been doing a really good job of, you know, when we don't have our, you know, the start that we want or the game, where we're pretty good at finding it. So, I thought a great job, you know, in between periods to create a group and kind of wipe the first away and, you know, just look forward to the second and third. What about Sam Kerk? He was brought in to win some face-offs, part of the reason he was brought in. He goes up against O'Reilly, who might have been, might be one of the best in the league and he wins two right at the end there. That has to be when you come up, you know, they add up and they win you hockey games
and, you know, they may not look sexy, but it gets the job done. Obviously, you know, I think the addition with him has been great. You know, he brings a lot of sandpaper edge to his game. He's heavy, wins battles. Obviously, you really get it in the face-off dot. Just a hard guy to play against. I remember when he was, you know, all over the league just playing against him was a nightmare. So, glad he's on our side now. Nashville cuts it to three-two, late in the third period. Pulse serves again for the sixth skater. What did your team do to buckle down and really play defensively to preserve that lead? Yeah, I think just that buckled down and played good defense. You know, tough timing on the penalty. You know, they'd pull the goal and you get one quick there. And, you know, there's no panic on our bench. Obviously, you know, one goal lead with a couple minutes left is always scary, but, you know, I thought we did a really good job. Just stay in calm and, you know, I think in our D-zone, just making sure they weren't getting any good looks from the slot,
try to keep them on the outside. Spring is here and the shopping list is long. Time to make a blows run. Buy three bags, get three free. If stay green, one cubic foot garden soil.
