Alex, just didn't go well for anybody in the first period, whether it was you, the team, or whatever, it just seems like the second period you guys had it, but didn't seem like you had it in the first what was wrong, do you feel?
Yeah, I don't know.
Frustrating first, for sure, I've been saying it all year, we're going to hit it adversity at some point.
And we've got a long sustained stretch of really excellent play, and now we're hitting a little bit of adversity, and the way we responded in the second was extremely positive.
I could have stopped a few more in the first, maybe as a different game.
There's a million different sliding scale factors that contributed that first period, but it is what it is.
We have to move on. We can't dwell on it, and the reality is we're still in a good position, and we just need to nip it in the mud right now and move forward.
That's really critical, and we've been talking about it all year, that great mentality, and just moving on to the next game, and that's what we've got to do.
Alex, how does this team move on? How does this team reset and reset quickly for tomorrow?
Yeah, probably a blessing, to some degree, to be playing again tomorrow.
It's not fun to obviously sit on games like that. That being said, again, we're hitting a bump in the road right now, and we're going to see what we're made of here.
We need to put our foot down on the gas, and just reset, I think, and reassure ourselves, and that's the name of the game, and that's what being successful this time is years about.
When a period like that goes for you, because you did, after that you were fine, but how do you reset yourself after a period like that?
Yeah, well, that's part of it. It's happened before, and it's going to happen again.
You just have to move forward, and do your best to win the game, and try to put yourself back in a good headspace, and there's no secret recipe to it.
It's a lot of experience, a lot of really bad first periods that I've had.
You just got to learn from it. Try to have a fantastic, productive day tomorrow, and get a good night's sleep tonight, and the sun's going to come up tomorrow.
We can't dwell on it. We need to, like I said, just move forward, and we've got a big, huge, huge game again tomorrow, so a great opportunity ahead of us.
