Carolina hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin talked about heading back to his home state of Colorado to play the Avs on Saturday
mm, that's what we call going home. Just your emotions. Yeah. From, from the standpoint of late in the season of being able to play a team like colorado, that's always always good, it's gonna be a playoff playoff atmosphere and playoff intensity. So that's always fun. But I'm going back to colorado is just, it's always a treat to see family and friends and get picked up by my mom from the airport and go home for dinner. And I saw him quickly all tonight. So, um, no, it's always, it's always fun going back there and just seeing everybody, Yeah, mom picking me up and probably go get a snack after the airport and then, you know, run home and see everybody see the nieces and nephews that are in the family now. So it's gonna be fun. I don't know actually, we'll see who's all down in the corner for warmups. So when we get there. But no, it should be, it should be a good crowd and um, yeah, I'll be fine seen from your vantage point power play confidence just kind of work. Oh yeah, I mean it's just, you know, in the year we got off to a hot start on the power play, everything was clicking and, and now it seems like we're not getting those bounces and so I just have to get back on the right track with that. It takes hard work to do that. So we're just gonna make sure we're working hard out there and working smart as well and like I said, it's bounces and so as long as we just get get the opportunities and and I think once we get one I think they'll start rolling in and this won't be the conversation anymore and so uh just just getting it ready and primed up and um and if we can get it going for playoffs it's gonna be huge from the pink ink your face. Other teams got a really good part defending it or what are other good parts. Yeah. Yeah I mean I think I mean us as the killer were super aggressive and so I'm not giving them a lot of time and we got a lot of good forwards, you can skate really well and are super smart to kill off those good penalties and obviously a decoy that can skate really well and so other power power play struggle because we are aggressive and we have we have good puck pressure and good good reads throughout the D zone and so um yeah I mean that's what makes our PK successful. It's just the aggressiveness that we have and and guys willing to do the job. Amazing. Yeah I know you got video, you've got all the pre scouts there is you know what other teams are doing, it's just a matter of execution and you are part of the street, couldn't get in the playoffs now all of a sudden four years in early. Mhm what does anything change? Right, I mean personnel is obviously a huge deal, we've got a lot of young talent now. Um but then obviously it's no coincidence that when Roddy took over things started changing and so um just the culture he's created and um the atmosphere he creates in the locker room and just uh I mean the guy loves to win and he's competitive body also cares about everybody and so um we we just have that we have that competitive culture within the locker room and and we have our standard and um and obviously it's it's a goal every year to raise the cup but we're continuing to build and build and build and um we have we have our goals and so um but yeah, it's not a coincidence that when Randy took over he started making the playoffs morning. Yeah. Um I mean, I think, I mean you saw I mean start to build, I mean even though for a couple years before Roddy was there, we were close to making the playoffs and so um I think that had a huge thing to do with the personnel that have been good drafts and everything like that. Um But so when when good personnel is on the ice and the likes of Sebastian Aho and Teravainen and obviously knows fetch and Garvey and that, I mean we got a lot of talent a lot of skill and so I mean you you put in the hard work and let the skill skill take over and you're gonna see good results. Yeah, that obviously helps. That always helps, too. Thanks guys.
