Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo defends his actions in the Game 4 loss in Boston.
Yeah. I mean, I don't know, emotions we're talking about here. It's playoff hockey. We're losing the game, right? So it's uh, obviously we're a little frustrated. I don't think anything happened. Nothing happening again. Everybody wants to write a little story about or something. But we're trying to win a, we're trying to win a series here. So if you don't have any fire, then you're not gonna win. So I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing. I'm not very concerned. Anybody thinks, yeah, Is that right? It's gonna be a go anyway. So it counts. I'd rather have knocked off the puck. Just, you know, if it knocked off his stick is gonna count to go anyway. So you rather see it go in the net or go wide. It's, it is what it is. I don't really, it doesn't bother me very much that I can't do it. How do you go do better? I do a better job of staying out of the box huge. That's, there's a good question. We gotta, you know, you got to keep our sticks down. You can't get high sticking penalties and stuff. We got to wear, it's gonna be disciplined. I thought we did a real good job in Games one and two would be in this one, but they're calling it, you know, all across playoffs, not just our series, we're calling it a little tighter than I guess a normal playoffs will probably go. So we just gotta make sure we don't give them a reason to, you know, to give us one, you know, you guys didn't get any bleed. That's an automatic four minute, right? So there's not really much you can do about those just gonna find a way to be disappoint. You can't have the delay of game stuff, but there's no panic in our locker room to two series were back in front of a much louder building and was in boston. So we'll be fine adjustments that you need to make on the power play execution. I mean we've got good players, their their power plays is out there, there's a little bit now, but like I said, it's too, too, you've got three games to go back the other way and I'll do their power play and special teams. I've said it's from the beginning of the series, it's gonna be a, it's gonna be the series of special teams and I got a lot of trust in the guys. We got on both units. So we just got to get one to go in. I think you give us a little confidence losses in boston staying out of the box and being more, Yeah, I mean, I think it's especially yesterday you get nine. I mean they had the same thing in Game two, right? So their coaches probably saying the same thing, they had nine penalties in Game two and we and we come out with a with a 5 to 1 and the same thing happens. They're right. So it's the same thing, you just got to stay out of the box and I think the team that does a better job that it stays discipline and finds a way to capitalize on their power play more than the other team is gonna be, is gonna have a real good, I shouldn't say we're gonna have a real good chance to win, it gives you, you know, just to chances, but I can't even tell you how much, I'm sure you guys have the percentages, this new thing now, but I'll leave that to you guys. The penalty home prices, the matchups have mattered, they were able to get the big line out, wait where they can kind of matchup today, like you guys were able to do that here at home, have they mattered more than maybe you thought coming into the series, just the way the game that's up to the coaches decide, I trust any guy we have on the ice, it doesn't matter to me what line were out there playing with and what deeper we think we could do the job and I think they would probably say the same things for 13, right? But anytime Bergeron, Pastrnak and Marchand are out there, you know, it's a, you know, it's a tough job for one of the best lines in the league for, for a long time now and obviously they put the big three back together and they've been, they've been making some stuff happens, you just gotta do a good job of containing them, but we gotta, we gotta focus on our game more than anything. Just stick to stick to five on five hockey where we're pretty confident at. And, And I think I started being gold going into game five mentioned the noise louder than you expected. You can, Yeah. I mean, you gotta remember Game one was my first playoff game with fans. So I've been to playoff game as a kid. I grew up going to Philly games and stuff, which is a crazy crowd and our crowd has been the loudest that I've played in front of bin in front of and uh, make a big difference for us tomorrow night. Good. Thank you guys.
