They are a very good rush team.
So we're going to have to be very good on
our tracking and make sure that we
make good decisions offensively on our four check.
So our four checks going to be very important and
our tracking is going to be very important
and obviously defensively as well because they're moving well.
So hey listen, their first overall,
there's a reason for that.
Isn't it
different? Do you think it will be or should be
actually getting a game in your own building that these
guys haven't been in there,
you know well before your time?
It's been forever. Yeah, pretty much since
I've been in. Well, I'm not looking it that way.
I'm looking it's, it's it's it's an important game for
us.
We're playing against the best team in the league right
now and and we're going to have to find a
way to win a hockey game and that's the focus.
I know that our fans going to be excited about
that game.
Everybody is I mean I see it today have many
people here so should be should be exciting game and
and and and it's a it's a good challenge for
our team. We've been playing good hockey lately I mean
and
we look forward to it.
Big one here standing against the Rangers.
What are your guys thoughts coming in.
Yeah, for us it's one game at a time with
how tight
tight the standings are and
what we're working towards. So we put ourselves in a
good spot now
where we can kind of control it
given the the games we have left and
you know what's at stake.
So it's a big one tonight.
High energy, good atmosphere,
a good test. So we want to be ready to
go.
There's obviously a lot of stakes in the line for
you guys. How fun is it to play
this rivalry game this late,
this much on the line?
Yeah, any, anytime you're playing these games late,
doesn't matter who it is,
it's that's what you that's what you live for.
That's what you want
and there's more on the line.
So with that and then add in the rivalry.
It it makes for an exciting,
exciting game. So like I said,
we want to be ready,
ready to go. We feed off that,
have a good energy, good jump right away and get
off to a good start.
If you asked us at the beginning of the season
to to be playing these kind of games
leading into to hopefully the playoffs is is
everything you sign up for.
It'll be an emotional game.
We know what we're playing for.
We we know what we have to focus on to
make ourselves successful and
we'll just try and get off to a good start
and and let it go from there
probably a
pretty good sense of what these yeah I was just
talking to Andrew I think it was one of the
things that he
it's such a unique spot to be at for a
hockey fan.
It's three teams within, I
don't know, a couple miles of each other.
It's
everyone's kind of intermingled and moving around and
have those alliances that are kind of leftover from from
when you were growing up or
the the teams you saw growing up.
When I think it's, it's
like I said, just a really unique thing for fans
in this area to to have three teams that are
all
all rivals.
