Carolina Hurricanes center Seth Jarvis speaks with media members on Tuesday ahead of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final.
Seth. This is obviously just your, your second postseason in the NHL. Have you confronted a situation like this in your career before, even before coming to, uh, you know, coming turning pro? No. Uh this is, this is new for me, but, uh, lucky for me, we have a lot of veterans on our team. A lot of guys who have been in this situation and been on both ends of it. So they, uh they have all the guidance I need to, to get to if I have any questions or anything. But I think right now we're just, uh trying to regroup and get ready for a while. Left side, fourth Seth, we've seen the frustration of these close losses, but as a competitor, how if at all, are you kind of embracing the challenge of what you guys have ahead of you? Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, like you said, close, close loss. It's nice to know that we're right there where a few balances, one or two goals away from, from different, a different series. So it's nice to know that we're, we're hanging in there, but, uh, close isn't good enough. We need, we need wins and especially right now it's, it's do, or die for us right side, third row Seth. I mean, you set up a, for a great chance last night. You guys have had some really good chances. Is there anything more you could do against this goalie to, to get some goals? Yeah. I mean, uh, he's, he's playing unbelievable right now. You have to, you have to tip your cap but getting pucks, uh, from the point we have to, as a forward group, we have to get more buys in front of them. That makes it tougher for any goalie on the planet is, is when there's traffic and it can hit a shin pad or, or, or lay there for a rebound. So we just need to do a better job of really digging in as a forward group and getting, getting uh balls in front of them a couple more right side. George that said last night with three minutes left. I think you guys got off one shot on goal. Florida was really clamping down. Does that get frustrating as well when you know, you know how good Bob is, but you can't even get the shots to him sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, we need, we do need to be better and I think, like you said, when we, I think those last three minutes we had our goalie pulled. So you want to be able to force force pucks on net whether it's a good angle or bad angle, you're outnumbering them. So you have to hope for a good balance. But I think that's just something that's been a, it's a little, little thing on a big pile of problems that we have right now. Getting, getting by Bob Sky right now. We'll now take two more back. Right. Seth. How would you describe just the mood around the locker room, the meetings today since you guys came in after last night? Um I think we're, I think we're good. I think we're, we're positive, you know, there's, we're against the law, there's nowhere else we can go up. But for so we have uh we have nothing to lose just uh just going out there tomorrow and, and playing as desperate as we can because it's uh it's all do or die tomorrow. Last question, left side. Some fans have been saying that this is the year for the canes that they felt this is the group to do it. I know you have to try and as a professional athlete kind of maybe ignore some of the noise from the outside. But have you guys felt that pressure that this has to be the group to go all the way? No, we don't, we don't care. We don't listen to what anyone else has to say other than what's going on in our locker room, we feel like we have a chance to win every year. This year is no different. We we obviously had a good year, strong year and to make it this far playoffs is, is awesome, but this isn't where we want to finish. So, just like them, we, we feel like we can win it this year and that's, uh, that's our goal. Thank you for your time. Thank you.
