Transcript
00:00Do you feel like Lindy over the road trip that your team played a bunch of different styles and
00:06found a way like we were spending some time with there was a comment made about a player that
00:11called your team river hockey and fans have been taking that as an insult the last week
00:16and I don't know like you played a couple of games where you shut it down you showed against
00:20Anaheim you can open it up like do you feel like your team can kind of play any style that
00:25it needs
00:25to yeah well I've heard the river hockey comment uh you know you can call our hockey whatever you
00:33want to call it uh we've worked uh we've worked really hard on on our game in all three zones
00:39and
00:40we're going to continue to try to try to get better I think you know if you look at how
00:46we played
00:47Vegas San Jose uh type of opportunities we gave I thought we played really strong defensive I thought
00:54LA another against a team that plays a defensive style um we played a real solid game there
01:03uh you know special teams and the scoring got a little out of hand uh when I walked in the
01:08dressing room for the third period I said we're going to have to put we're going to have to put
01:12risk in our game um I told Al our goaltender so you're going to have to make a couple saves
01:18uh we're going to get on the offense the side of the puck we're going to you know we're going
01:22to
01:22try to keep pucks alive if if we miss out on that you're going to face some big opportunities I
01:27said
01:27I'm going to ask you to make some saves this period we're going to get back in the game
01:30and I thought he made a couple great saves and but I thought our offensive zone play some of the
01:34plays
01:35we made were fantastic um to get back in the game and actually I thought we could have lengthened the
01:40lead with a couple plays so uh I think most teams you know let it all out when you know
01:46when
01:46it down by a couple goals uh you know I don't think our style is that much different uh than
01:52a lot of teams
