Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov spoke to the media looking ahead to the second round match up with the Rangers
Must have felt pretty nice. Uh, you just continue to contribute and, uh, get better in the playoffs. Yeah, obviously, you know what I've been saying that for a long time, whatever you get comfort a little bit. But, uh, I just, uh, I don't really worry about that, you know, it's play off. I just go there and try to have fun and, uh, obviously, you know, help, help to the team to win the games and that's all I do. Do you think Rod was very complimentary was very high on your play? How did you think you did in your first post season series back? Yeah, obviously means a lot, you know what Rod said? Uh, but, uh, you know, I felt good, uh, overall, you know, for the five games, felt good and, uh, you know, uh, good thing we won and, uh, all focusing to win the games. Do you feel like you're playing your best form hockey right now? I mean, you even look great in practice a little tic tac toe goal. Yeah, it was nice. But, uh, I wouldn't say the best but, uh, you know, just feel, feel good, you know, I've been, I've been there, you know, and I know how it feels so, but, uh, just feel good and, uh, you know, try to go and, uh, you know, be in a good shape and, uh, just enjoy it. How do you feel like we've been good? Uh, you know, I remember we played the first game, it was third game. I think our second game, we had like four cross bars, you know, we've been there, we just, uh obviously we scored some goals, but I thought we could score many more goals. But, uh you know, hopefully we, we save them and it's gonna come for us, you know, a lot of that. Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know, one of the best play in this league and, uh just, uh so nice to play with him. Uh, he's super fast and, uh, you know, his goals in the four check, uh not afraid to get the heat, you know, and, uh we, we need those bottles and obviously, you know, he knows how to score and, uh, you know, he, he can also find you as well. There was a lot of discussion about you not playing in the playoffs last year and now you're back. And so maybe people say, oh, re pops back, that makes a huge difference for the Hurricanes. Does it, is that extra pressure on you beyond, you know what you already put on yourself? No pressure at all to be honest, you know, like I said, I just want to go there and enjoy it and, uh, obviously I had a tough time, you know, I missing playoff and I'm sure I would have helped it a little bit. But, uh, you know, I just, like I said, I'm just going there and enjoying my game and try to do it my best shot. How do you feel about your role against the Rangers? Big physical team? You're gonna have to be physicality wise. Yeah, obviously, you know, one of the best teams in the week and they got good talent, uh, half fans, you know, they got great defense and obviously awesome goal. And so as we do, you know, it's going to be a good match and, uh, you know, I'm excited to play with them. One of the guys that you played with on that team you played against, what makes him such a fact. Yeah, he's, uh, he's been unbelievable, you know, for them. And, uh, obviously, you know, I watched a few games in the playoff. He's been unreal, uh, you know, he always gonna find his way, uh, to how to score a goal and, uh, you know, he always plays hard and, uh, it's gonna be good battle against him and, uh, you know, hopefully we're not gonna give him a room out there.
