Brind'Amour: "Tough way to end a really good year"
Rod was there in the in the third period there
when things started unraveling
Did you ever feel like you guys lost control of
the game or did you feel like you were right
there the whole time Uh And we started out actually
it was really good
We were going good and then uh you know obviously
that goal was a tough one
You just can't can happen
We know that you can't give a team like that
a goal and I thought we gave them a couple
and that's really not not good
And then the momentum changed a little and then obviously
took a penalty you know their top guys took over
in the third there once they got that one and
we had a couple of chances
We had a I think we had a break away
early in the third like and even when we were
down one we get it right in front all alone
and you know there you gotta give them credit
Their top guys stepped up when they needed to go
ahead
Coy Rod
Did you have any problem with that that penalty call
Um Jordan Jordan it it's I don't know if it's
a cross check but he pushed him in the boards
and you know we're in that stage of the there's
a lot of you know extra making sure you get
the call and but I mean I don't we gotta
kill a talent and they just you know their talent
the guy just floated in
Great tip
You gotta give him credit
Go ahead
Chip
Right
I guess the toughest thing about a loss like this
is knowing this is the last time this group will
be together
A couple of the players were mentioning that Sebastian's almost
emotional about it
Just how is it for the for the head That's
that's tough
Um We are you know it's a special group in
there and you know it's this is gonna you know
puts a tough way to end a really good year
you know like these guys played their butts off all
year and but this is what you're gonna remember right
And that's the hard part
Um And like you said you know it's a business
and you know I love to roll this back with
these guys but you know that's who knows how that's
all gonna shake out
Go ahead Kurt I know there's a reluctance to think
of it as the collapse on the part of the
team that loses
Like you said New York took over there
Did you sense a point where maybe the foot came
off of the gas on anything where you started to
think this is moving away from us
Well you like I mean I don't know I mean
obviously once that the one going in they they got
life and you could see it
Um yeah and they had some good rushes but I
it wasn't a I mean I don't know what the
final shots were but it wasn't like it was a
a barrage
I mean they were coming in waves but we were
able to defend it and then you know uh they
got momentum going
I mean it's clear um I don't know I don't
know what to say
It was it was not not the way you want
to end it obviously
Right Ron is it harder to kind of think about
you know coming into the season you added or a
lot of you added g so you added all the
pieces you guys thought you needed and it's still the
solution is kind of escaping you shorter than you were
last year
Well I don't know we're playing the best team in
the league
So you know the and we're uh I I mean
I mean we look back on those first three games
was where we we you know we lost by a
goal in overtime
I mean there's a there's a play here or there
and everything's different and we just didn't find it
And um even tonight another goal puts the game a
different story when we had our opportunities and there's a
couple of posts and there like there's there's you just
gotta you know uh I don't look at it like
that
That's the way it's gonna be written
But I don't I don't look at it like that
at all
Coach Rob when you look back on the season think
about how special it was for guys like Seth Jarvis
Andre called the playoffs and even Jack Drew just how
did you see those guys step up in the postseason
Well yeah I mean the young kids really we were
very very good for us and and very very productive
and taking huge strides and that's a real positive for
moving forward for sure for the organization
Um everything is just tough to think of anything positive
at the moment to be quite honest but those guys
were you know had a really good years
