Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour speaks to the media after the team's 4-3 loss to the New York Rangers in Game 1.
Yeah, I thought we played a pretty good game. Um, you know, a couple, you know, kills, we didn't quite execute. Right. And they, they did, they did, you know, they went, made their three quick passes and hit it and we, we were just a step off and that's the difference. So tough because we played pretty hard. And I thought overall as actually the game going on, we were, we got a little better. That's the difference, right? Did you Nas was in the box and then they review it and then Tony goes in the box. Did you ever get an explanation on what happened there? No, that makes sense to me. And then discipline wise, it seemed like whatever the effect that the opener in the building and all that stuff had you guys were able to kind of dial it in the second two periods and, and like I said, other than that really 20 seconds worth of specialty time where we just did next year and they did that. We had a pretty good game for a while. You just speak to all the things that, I mean, we talked about it before the series, I mean, we had him for a long time, great player and I think he, he's, you know, he does everything right. So very, very valuable coach before pulling a goalie, you guys were, is that gonna be an emphasis to generate more offense next game or is that just how this game went? Um I mean, obviously you want to get, I don't know how many shot attempts that's really the and how many blocks do they have? So, I mean, sometimes you gotta look at that more than all your shots on that. I mean, we, we, we put a lot of pucks there. They did a good job getting in front of some of them and we miss the that on some. But yeah, of course, you wanna, you know, get more quality chances. I thought we did have a few, we had three goalposts too. So you wanna look at there's different ways to look at this game. Uh, for me, it was obviously we gotta get better on the, on the specialty, the area. Um because that's the, if we, if we go minus two, every game in that area, we, we, we that's not gonna work, uh Rod just to that point when you look at the score sheet of this game, obviously, you'll see Zan with two goals with one pan with one. I'm assuming you're gonna want to lock down on the, the bigger name players for the Rangers, you know, in game two. But how do you slow those guys down in a game like this? Well, you can't get them. Like the first one, we just blow up the coverage and that, I mean, that's, that's not normally what we do. And then the other ones were, you know, like I said, the power play goals and then really the last one you just, we had it out nut to own, it bounce over our stick and it goes to the, you know, unfortunately the wrong player for us and good, great player for them. Well, you take that away. I don't know what more we could do. I mean, I thought we did a pretty good job on game or is it sort of implicit to not take these penalties? Yeah, I don't know. Especially, I don't know what else you want to do there. He's fighting for a puck. So that's certainly not a discipline penalty. And then he like to have that back. But, you know, the guy did it to him and then it's one of those you always catch the second guy, he knows better. And then Tony's was more, I, I mean, I don't know if the guy doesn't fall. It's probably not called, you know, so I can't, that's not a discipline penalty for me. The puck was there. But yeah, we, like I said, we, we don't want to take any penalties. All right. Thanks, Rob. Thanks everyone.
