what do you remember the most about your time in new york? Uh obviously uh you know playing with hank was probably one of the, one of the biggest things, you know, just obviously the atmosphere and the atmosphere is pretty nice when, when you're playing there as a, as a home team, so, but yeah, it's you know, great memories, obviously my daughter was born in new york, so so that's that's a big thing and you know, just the prosecute people in that organization and you know, got a lot of tech stuff there after the game that you know, let the game begin, so so it's gonna, it's gonna be fun, here's a rangers fan on twitter, a woman who remembers text or sending your video at christmas time, just a year and a half, do you remember that, can you tell a little bit about that? I mean this was either christmas eve or christmas day and she asked for a video for her mother, did it for her and that's getting some buzz on right now. Yeah, it's a side, I think it was probably on twitter or or instagram, I just saw that and you know, I was like, well why why not, you know, just quick, quick hello and you know, merry christmas and and like that and you know, it didn't take time, like a lot of time for me, but you know, it's it's always nice to make somebody's a little bit better and and you know, if you're gonna help somebody, you always try to do something, so you know, I think it was just one of those where you, where it's just side and, and then you're like, okay, I could probably do that. So, you know, it's just got a nice, nice, nice memory there for sure. When Evelyn came out the other day. It kind of rehashed the thing about you having the little little goalie pads for her when you were in new york. She still gold. Uh, no, she, I think she's more a cheerleader right now than than Nicolay. Uh, but yeah, you know, my, my son, obviously he's too right now, so, so he's really into like he, he watches the games and you know, when the game starts, he starts playing himself. So, you know, Evelyn is more about the dancer and the cheerleader than a player. Yeah, that was, you know, that's what sonny does. You know, it makes, it makes a little bit more more fun for everyone, rangers present any different channels bully than the Bruins. Ah, you're right, obviously skillful guys, you know, they're the top 22 lines are, are, are really skillful. Uh, you know, special teams going to be a big thing again and then, you know, obviously foxes is one of the best demands in the league. So, you know, I think it's just, you just worry about your own game more more than, and the other team. But you know, obviously you have your, you know, when, when, when those guys are on and you know, you're, you see them on the, on the videos and three scouts and like that, So, but but yeah, for me also it's pretty much just focusing on my, my own thing, talked a lot about kind of the emotions of the playoffs and how the first round is always, you know, you got kind of most amped up, have you seen everybody kind of settled in now that you are in the second round? Or is there still that, that emotion? Uh I think you know, after the game uh saturday, I think everyone was obviously super pumped and you know, then then we got the sunday off, so I think that was kind of kind of where everybody a little bit calm down and and you know, yesterday was more about just going on the ice and just just you know, get a little sweat going and like that and you know, today it started to get more more uh more like a game came type of feeling on the ice against. So yeah, you know, obviously 1st, 1st round is always, you know, you can't win the copy if you lose the first round. So you know, that's kind of, that was kind of the model for us and you know, it's uh it's obviously nice that the games games are still going and you know, we get the chance to fight. Yeah, to get to the Chilean, do you have a motto for the second round. Mhm, I think that's going to be if you, if you don't win the second round again with what do you what do you between the mornings game time foster getting in your car to go to the ring? How do you kill them? Ah Just go home. Maybe. What's the case for a little bit what they do and you know, maybe maybe what's the tv show or or a movie or something like that and then I can take a nap and pretty much wake up and get ready to get to the ring. So it's a very simple nothing, nothing nothing special there. So, it's just a really simple try to try to just get some rest and and start focusing on the game Harder on the road where you're in one for four days. All right. Sometimes it's actually easier at that at the road because you've got the bus and like that. So you don't have to drive yourself. So, you know, I think it's sometimes you don't you don't have to worry about the traffic or anything else. Obviously, it's pretty, pretty good in here. But yeah, it's it's almost sometimes a little bit easier at the road than Donohoe like the way you back and forth with the rangers vision maybe helps give you an into the playoffs. Ah I don't think so. I think, you know, like, like you saw against boston, you know, we we want them three times in a row in the regular season and you know when the playoffs started, it's just a different game and obviously we take the good things out of those games and and you know, focusing on the right things and you know, what, what what made us successful against them, you know, we obviously we have to look those but playoffs this playoffs. So you know, I think so. I think it's a little bit different in the playoffs. So you know, I think it's just one game at a time focusing and, and you know, I'm not thinking about what happened in the past go back. I don't think you played against rangers. Yeah, I didn't play against boston either. So that's, you know, I think that's pretty, that's pretty funny. But uh yeah, it's uh you know, it's nice to nice to nice to get those games in the playoffs. And did you talk to Freddy at all for any advice about, you know what you're going to go over here? No, no, not really. You know, obviously we, we tried to push each other and you know, give, give some some advices here or there, but not, not really, it's just being, you know, pumping and pumping each other Cyrus right now. Um well the best description energy Game, one of the 1st compared the way more nervous ah I think you you a little bit more calm down now, you know, obviously, you know, it's still like, was it the first game or or the fifth game or or the seventh game and you you still you know the stakes are higher so obviously you get you get you get that good kind of you know failing before the game and then I feel like for me I I kind of need that because if you go to the game and you have no no emotions or anything and not not a a little nervous feeling or something like that, I feel like that's when you're not engaged at all. So I think You know everything starts again from zero tomorrow so just try to try to do my own things and you know focus on the right things and you know play as good as I can and try to help the team to win. So I think that's a scanner, how hopefully two more goes and you know get that, get that get confidence level for sure tomorrow and you know start chris Kreider so good in front and do you know any of his tricks? Yeah, there was a couple of times when when we stayed after the practice, it was just me and cried because Hanke was on the other hand taking, taking a shootouts and Christ didn't want to shoot. So so him and me, we were probably doing 20 minutes just me and him so ah he's you know obviously he's a big big big body in front of the net but he's also really quick, you know, he has a great hand eye coordination. So it's just, you know, one of those things what what somebody has and you know, yeah, yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be a battle against that guy for sure in front of the net, you know, we'll see how how things go for us. But yeah, obviously one of those those guys who we have to take a take a good look and you know, make sure that we get the stick and you know, play the body and and like that. Yeah, for sure, it's gonna it's gonna be a big challenge for us.
