“JJ Played That Full 200-Foot Game” | Buffalo Sabres Forward Alex Tuch After Win In LA
First period what’s the mentality to got you back in it you know I I actually didn’t think we had that bad of a first period just they just capitalized on a couple opportunities that we gave them but I thought we were really working hard we were competing and and uh we
Were playing more our style of hockey I think and you know we didn’t we didn’t let that waver just because we we gave up a couple goals and we just stayed on it and uh we had a really good strong start to the second period and we just
Tred to get as much momentum as possible and then we had a big goal by JJ there and uh a couple of them obviously and um we just kept going we just kept pressuring kept pushing them um we whenever we gave up opportunities we were always supporting each other always
Backing each other up and we had beast making a couple big saves even ear on it seemed like you were getting a lot of shots and you yourself I think you had at least seven was that a focus tonight shot mentality team wide yeah no it
Definitely was I I don’t think we I think we’ve been passing up on a lot of opportunities um uh and I I was I I think me personally I haven’t been uh looking to the net as much as as I have been in the p as I’ve been able to in
The past so I think that was more of a focus on my part and um as our team we we had almost 40 shots on net and so that’s something that we want to continue and uh when you when you get 40 shots on net against such a defensively
Sound team that means you’re doing something right and uh it started with our compete and just that Focus like you said that that mentality JJ gets the the three points he also Drew three penalties what impressed you most about his game oh he was just skating skating
Skating all over all over the Ice uh Puck was signing him but he was just working competing and uh you know he made a couple really good defensive plays too I thought uh so he he played that full 200 foot game and that’s something that we’re
Going to need out of him and he he showed he was more than capable of it and obviously netted a couple big goals for us too your goal you’re out there with Robinson and KBS those guys just grinding away and PR the for check yeah
No I mean it was a really good play I thought uh we almost had a I almost had a breakway actually right before that uh and then KY just stayed on top of it um forced them to make another turnover got the puck to Robbie behind the net and
Then Robbie obviously uh made an unbelievable pass and I died anty net after after he drew what two three Defenders and a goalie on the other side of the net so uh it was really easy for me just to sit there and bury it but uh
No it was awesome play by both of them
