“We Made Too Many Mistakes” | Don Granato After Loss to Jets



“We Made Too Many Mistakes” | Don Granato After Loss to Jets

You going to the third uh this time for two years you’ve been able to get into the barn but this time you couldn’t what was the difference did you feel in the third period when you lost him just we we made too many mistakes um cost us lost some battles that uh you

Would like to uh have won and made some mistakes that was the difference how dangerous did you feel that game was given what winipeg had just done yesterday to car um I mean I you know they did come back at Carolina yesterday but that certainly

Wasn’t on my mind uh you know was it was um we need to do one of two things either Elevate um we had some spurts of where we elevated determination and fight I think our guys fought fatigue but but you either find a way to fight

Through it or find a way to be more efficient and we we were caught uh you know in the Middle with I didn’t think we pressured pucks enough um and when we didn’t we weren’t smart enough filling the right areas um we were on occasion early and throughout

The game but the last uh you know the last 10 minutes obviously the dam broke there in in in the sense of you know we we lost playing efficient we gave up some inside Ice uh on the tying goal um and the and the go ahead go so that

Seemed to like the challenge of uh you getting backto back starts how do you think he responded maybe he wants one of those late back but I mean he made some key saves obviously yeah he did he made some key saves I’m sure you know he’s a

Competitive guy he he uh you know um the last couple he usually makes routine saves on um but he’s been great for us and um I don’t I don’t fault him um for this one at all um although as a competitive guy I’m sure he he wants

Uh he wants those back they always do um but again it’s what it’s what I said we where we where we had moments to elevate and Elevate compete work ethic battles um we didn’t consistently enough and we didn’t play efficient if we weren’t going to do that enough a lot of energy

SE KBS and Robinson especially at times in the middle got got your goal think the ability Drive play yeah they they obviously did have good energy that was a hell of a goal um you know so in a heck of a shift when they when they did get scored on the

That go had goal they had a heck of a shift great energy great great uh battles in the offensive zone and then uh a little bit uh you know we we we we didn’t finish the shift on that one but they were they were uh they were good on

Occasion and that obviously was a was a nice goal by them earlier this second I know you switched KBS and Thompson a couple times there just how tough the night did it seem for Thompson in L it it was again it was um you know some guys fatigue showed a little showed

Fatigue a little bit more than others um and when you know when that’s the case again you you you you want to play a little bit more efficient um so that’s I mean there’s not not a whole lot more to say you go into lots of different details but that’s the essence

Of it

  1. The better team won last night – they enforced their will in the last 10 minutes and won easily. The sabres just are not there yet
