What were the issues, you think, in those first three, three minutes of the period?
Yeah, I think we just didn't execute, the first five minutes of that second.
Cost us the game.
other than that, I thought we played a good game.
It was a tight, tight game out there.
yeah, it was just, you know, a bad couple minutes there to start the, the period and cost us.
Yeah, obviously a great start.
played exactly the way we wanted to in the first and controlled most of the play and, for whatever reason, just started the second, we weren't ready and, you know, they took advantage of it.
You know, you come out for the second, you gotta be ready to, to play the same way and the same style that was working for you in the first, and we got away from that and, and the structure and, that's what happens.
It's, it's hard to win in this league, and teams take advantage when, when you're, you're not in your structure and you're not playing the way that you should be.
So, it's unfortunate, w-with how many good minutes we played tonight and, but we gotta move on and, and get ready for, for Thursday.
For the most part, you know, I think we were playing a simple game.
It was, it was a six-minute stretch.
They get the, you know, th-that goal, Olivier, kind of a, you know, what I told you, and then we lose a battle and then now you're chasing the game.

I think, he might've got screened, right, Vlady, I think.
So, you know what I mean?
Those are-- And then we have a couple point blanks, and we don't score.
So anyways, that's the, the, you know, that's the game.
we made it, you know, we almost scored at the end.
That would've been a hell of a goal to, to, to tie it up, so go back to the drawing board.
