Antti Raanta speaks to the media after a 4-3 win over the Islanders in OT
Get to get the win a tough game, obviously, two nothing lead and then they made the come back and, uh you know, as a goal, you, you kind of look those goals and you, especially now after the game, you can look those and you know, think what are you going to do better? So, uh but yeah, the win, the win is the only thing that matters. So, you know, guys play, guys play great in front of me and they, they battle back and, you know, obviously get the, get the tie and go there and then get to the O and score a goal. It's a, it's a huge, huge team effort again. How much did you feel the energy momentum shift? Uh Yeah, obviously, you know, kind of took a little life out of the building when they scored the third one. But, you know, we kept playing the same way and we get, we were putting pucks deep and, you know, shots at the net and, you know, when you do that good things happen and, you know, we were, we were fortunate enough to get that tying goal and get to the O t so, you know, the building was buzzing again. So yeah, obviously, obviously great feeling to get this one. Yeah, like I said, like I said before, you know, there's been games where I felt like I didn't play as good as I as I can but, but these, these guys, you know, they just spelled me out and, and kind of kind of like that today feeling. So, you know, we just never give up. It doesn't matter what the, what the score is. You know, if, if there's still a little bit of time, you know, we, we will keep doing our best and we will play our style and, you know, good things usually happen. So, yeah, it is just a resilient group. Uh I, I felt a little bit today. It was a little bit tougher, tougher than the first game. I don't know why, but maybe it was just a, just didn't really, really see like a lot of shots, you know, you were just kind of everything was kind of like in front of there, but it was bouncing and like that you felt like you were kind of off balance all the time and it was like scrambled all the time. So, but, but that's let's play a hockey, you know, you just have to battle through those and, and you know, it, sometimes it's not goalie friendly game or whatever that was, but, you know, you just have to battle through it and try to make the key when you can and, you know, help the team. Yeah, I think so. You know, I think everybody was blaming us that we couldn't do that on the road last year. And, you know, as a goalie also, you felt like, you know, could you do something, something to steal the game, steal one game and, you know, everything starts again, 00 and, you know, as a goal, it's one save at a time, one shot at a time. So you can't go there and start thinking too much about that. Hey, we didn't win any road games last year. You just have to trust the process and go out there and play your game and, you know, hopefully get a result. Who's, who's?
