Jaccob Slavin speaks to the media following a 4-2 win over Winnipeg.
one of those, the leaders team, how important to preach we're doing it the right, you know, you get a little more rattle. Yeah, it's, it's huge. I mean there's lots of ups and downs in hockey and I actually wrote his pregame speech before the game today was mhm what are you gonna do after bad things happen? And so uh I mean not off to a great start, but like you said, stick with it and um it just teaches resiliency and I mean that's what, that's what you need, especially going to the playoffs. So the more we can get that, the better chances we have the pastors that shot. It was a shot. It was just no raises. There's no razors. There's a shot though. Andre kind of a big shift there to kind of, you know, carrie competitive with their help involved for a little bit. He's a he's a special player. We've always known it. I mean, even when he was a rookie in the league, he had that ability and so he's just, he's getting smarter and getting, he's always had poise obviously, but he's just continuing to get better and better and more confident and he plays a hard game. And um and so it's it's always, it's always nice to be in a defenseman being able to give someone the puck like that. Yeah, the defense, you guys have been solid for most of the year, but last little stretch that have been kind of, you know, a little bit of mental mistakes? How do you guys kind of like refocus and like, what do you say to the guys when you know a little, you know, maybe a bad pinch or something here there goes the other way, how do you kind of refocus and reset and kind of lock it down? Yeah, we play, we play an aggressive style. I mean our our D chord can skate really well and and so we're always up on the play, always always trying to keep pucks alive or whatever it may be, but I mean I think just having that mental reset and getting back to defense first, but then also um I mean if we don't play aggressive then we're kind of sitting back almost and so not losing that, but I'm just making sure we have the mentality of everything hard, everything quick. Um when the pucks on their stick and uh and when the puck is not gonna stick, making sure we're still skating and in good positions but um yeah it's it's definitely uh let's have it now rather than the playoffs but um it will be good. Do your fair share when you're watching get out there And only scored four and 3, like maybe that to wear it the puck around. Yeah it was it was a good night. Yeah four and 3 golf Five on four goal regardless. It's still a power play goal. So that's that's always good boosting confidence and we need to make sure that things firing on all cylinders and cylinders going into playoffs um and that's something that's going to be a game changer when you have a guy like Connor on the other team has already got 47 goals on the season is you guys try to like shadow him extra hard when he's out on the ice or you just kind of play it? Yeah, I just play it like we play anyone else obviously know when he's on the ice, but like I said, our games aggressive and and there's not a lot of time and space out there and so we just need to make sure that's that's been taken care of. But um no, he he's a special player. But we I don't think that changes anything that we do. All right. Thanks level move. Mhm.
