On the mentality heading into the third period: The first we gave up probably one too many. That’s another type of situation that this team done a really good job of having that.
He’s helped me out a few times when I’ve messed up, so he’s done a great job of coming in and playing well for us.
He’s such a smart player, and obviously it was a great stick on his goal. He’s really just been on the ball as soon as he’s gotten the call, and tonight was another example of a great game by him. Obviously it’s not exactly the way he would want it this year, but he’s taking it in stride. He’s done a great job throughout this year. On Stepan performing even when he’s not consistently in the lineup: He’s a pro. We’re going to continue to fight in front and play well for him, and we’ll keep moving on. has come in and played really, really well. Obviously you don’t want injuries in that position, but the team has obviously done a great job having some depth. He’s played really well for us right from the start. On Raanta going out and Kochetkov: The kid looks great. I was excited to play.* technical difficulties*.I want to continue to make it hard to not keep me in the lineup and continue to focus in on what I can do to help. On him scoring and on being in and out of the lineup: Nobody likes sitting out. I think the little sharpening was huge for us. That’s all it takes nowadays in this game, just a little bit of elevation and it can be the difference. I think it just sharpened us a little bit. We just weren’t as sharp as we needed to be. On what let them get to their game in the third: I don’t know. Overall, our best period was the third period. When came in, I think everyone really tightened up to help a teammate. On Raanta’s injury and stepping up around Kochetkov: Yeah, I don’t think it’s an easy position for a goaltender to come in midgame. He’s making plays out there and scored a big goal. I think he’s getting that, and that makes him more comfortable. It takes time to bring in a guy from one system and put him into what we’re doing. He’s gotten better and better, so I think he’s more comfortable with how we play. We’ve used him at every position, and he’s done really well. On how Domi has settled in: It’s taken a little while for us to figure him out. On who will come up to back up Kochetkov: I don’t know, to be honest.
#YOUT TUBE DONT CALL ME UP PRO#
You don’t last as long as he has in this league and play power play and kill penalties - whatever you ask him to do, that’s what a pro is. He definitely had the ability to put the puck in the net, which we’d definitely like to see more of. They want to set up other guys and are very unselfish. Can you get him to shoot more? Yeah, you say that about Teravainen, too, but he scores goals, too. He’s really good with the puck, and he’s made a lot of great plays with the puck on his stick. On Domi’s playmaking ability and if he wants to see him shoot more: He’s an unselfish player. It wasn’t a pretty game for two periods, but I thought it was a really good third period. It looked like how we want to play, especially the game-winning goal. We’re going to get our chances, but it’s about just limiting theirs. On the resolve of the team and their third period: Our third period was our best period. Hopefully, neither of them will be too serious and we’ll get them back. It’s not what you draw up or what you want to have happened, with injuries, especially with goalies. On Raanta’s injury and how Kochetkov closed the game out: Well, what are you gonna do? Cry over it? We just have to keep moving forward. Here’s what they had to say: Rod Brind’Amour Rod Brind’Amour, Derek Stepan, and Jordan Staal spoke to the media after the win. Despite watching Antti Raanta leave the game due to injury in the second period, the Carolina Hurricanes picked up an important 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on Sunday.
