here. Jordan, First of all, thanks for taking the time man,
Congrats on a big win. Justtake us back through this full team effort
from your standpoint, Yeah, it'salways nice to end with a win.
Yeah, I thought it was themost probably battle well, and we made
some plays when we needed to andand and found a couple of good tips

(00:20):
when we need to do too.What was what was the mentality going into
this game? Obviously? Uh,with with a lot to be had personally,
you look at a guy like JonnyGordon getting two goals, Pierre Edward
bellmar in his seven hundredth NHL games, a number of guys nearing milestone season
numbers. What was the big focusand the big mentality going into this game
here tonight? Oh, I meanit's the last one. I think it's

(00:42):
just do you want to finish strong? You know, obviously it's it's it's
always tough when you're out and you'replaying games, but you gotta find things
to motivate you. You know,this is obviously the last game, Jordan.
What's what's the future look like forthis organization with this team? But
what what are your thoughts going intothe offseason. I mean it's there's a
lot I think. You know,obviously, you try and take a week

(01:04):
away and then you take time toreflect. I feel like that's the best
way to do it. You know, obviously this is a disappointment. It's
not where we want to be,take a step back from last year.
So you know, all you cando is try and take some time off,
clear your mind and and figure outways to get better. What did
you learn about yourself personally as aplayer this year? What did you learn

(01:26):
about this team? Despite the resultsbeing not where you wanted? What can
you take away from the third seasonnow with Seattle Krack and hockey. I
mean, we still got lots ofgood pieces. There's there's there's a team
here that can can can win.And you know, obviously, like I
said, we we for me allyear long, we just blew too many
you know, late late games,We blew too many leads. You know,

(01:49):
we have to find a way toclose games out. But there's more
to it than that. I mean, obviously we went through injuries and all
that. I mean a lot ofteams do. But you know, at
the end of the day, wewe didn't get it done, and we
have fun way to do that.Well. Jordan, Hey, thank you
