[0]
you know with the goaltending that they
[2]
have
[3]
um any breakdowns or you know
[6]
he he's putting out those fires um
[11]
and you know we just couldn't get the
[12]
first goal we just couldn't do it all
[14]
series and uh
[16]
that plays right into their hands you
[17]
know uh they've you know
[19]
especially their top four defense and
[21]
are big and heavy and um
[23]
you know they they they do a good job of
[26]
just clearing pucks and throwing them
[28]
out of the zone and um
[30]
you know we just we just like i said i i
[34]
really felt like
[35]
in any of these games you know probably
[37]
probably outside the first one
[38]
uh games two through four we just could
[41]
have found a way to get that first goal
[42]
you know could be a different series but
[44]
um but we didn't and you you just got to
[46]
give them so much credit
[47]
they uh they're playing unbelievable
[50]
right now
[51]
go back to ken weave for follow-up good
[52]
weaver like how would you describe the
[54]
impact of losing mark shiftly to that
[55]
four game suspension
[60]
you you can't you can't uh
[63]
i mean he's a top 10 player in the nhl
[65]
i'm not saying that it's gonna
[67]
you know it's gonna just we would win
[70]
the series
[71]
uh you know in in five games because he
[73]
was in the lineup but
[75]
it just changes our team you know it
[77]
makes uh
[79]
he makes me better um you know he makes
[82]
uh
[82]
kyle better as a line i think that we're
[85]
able to do some things that are
[87]
you know pretty dynamic and from there
[90]
you know it just
[91]
the match up just works a lot better for
[92]
us because i think then we can rely on
[94]
our depth a lot more
[95]
you know we can rely on adam lowry's
[98]
line coming out third and and they
[99]
dominate
[100]
in that three hole and just makes our
[102]
team look a lot different you know so
[105]
it's a damn shame we'll go next to paul
[108]
friesen from the winnipeg sun go ahead
[109]
paul
[111]
blake as good as montreal was what was
[114]
lacking in your team's game
[119]
i don't look at it that way paul you
[120]
know to be honest with you i i
[123]
i think that it's such a fine line
[127]
you know instead of hitting a post if it
[131]
goes in
[132]
you know we had one of the power play
[133]
tonight with a virtually an empty net
[135]
and it hits the top of his knob i mean
[136]
these are things that you don't
[137]
understand
[139]
that completely change the dynamic of a
[141]
game
[142]
and they didn't go our way but with that
[144]
being said
[146]
that that's because of how they played
[147]
uh i'm not gonna
[149]
sit here and say that we played four of
[152]
our you know our four best games of the
[154]
season i don't think so but
[155]
that's because of how they played you
[156]
know that's a reflection of how well
[159]
montreal is playing right now
[161]
we'll go back to paul friesen for a fall
[163]
go ahead paul
[165]
you had some words with connor hellwick
[166]
there at the end was uh was it a matter
[168]
of saying he did everything he could and
[170]
you guys just didn't support him enough
[171]
how'd that go
[176]
that's that's that couldn't be further
[178]
from what i said to connor
[179]
that'll stay between him and i but
[183]
i would never go to one of my teammates
[185]
and tell him
[186]
you know that the rest of his team was
[189]
crap and
[190]
you know i would never do that i think
[192]
that uh
[194]
you know conor uh kind of gives us a
[197]
chance to win and um
[199]
he's a part of the reason why the future
[201]
is bright with our team
[205]
we'll go next to murata test from the
[206]
athletic collab
[209]
thanks gregor hi blake i know it's super
[211]
fresh
[213]
is there any solace that you take at
[215]
this moment of having given winnipeg in
[217]
the community
[218]
fans something to cheer about through
[220]
the first round up until this point
[224]
i mean i'm happy you said that marat um
[228]
it's been a it's been a really hard year
[231]
you know it's been a really hard year
[232]
for
[233]
for the players and in our families um
[236]
but
[237]
i i think especially you know looking at
[240]
how
[240]
things are in the united states right
[242]
now and winnipeg is code red and
[244]
everything's shut down and kids aren't
[245]
in school i mean
[246]
you know my family feels that just as
[248]
much as any other family and i think
[250]
even the economic impacts of that in our
[252]
community
[253]
um are far-reaching so we know that we
[256]
have a
[257]
community and a fan base that is going
[258]
through a really difficult time right
[260]
now especially when they turn on the tv
[261]
and they
[262]
watch the other playoff games and see 18
[264]
000 fans without masks on and
[266]
having you know having a great time
[269]
so to answer your question i mean after
[271]
those edmonton games coming out of the
[272]
rink and seeing our fans honking the
[274]
horns and
[275]
you know lighting up the city was i mean
[278]
that was one of the highlights of this
[279]
whole season and honestly of
[281]
the whole last 18 months i mean that was
[282]
like
[284]
it kind of gave you a life again to to
[287]
to want to you know do this for for
[290]
winnipeg and
[292]
keep putting on a show for them keep
[294]
giving them something to watch
[296]
you know i never would have thought this
[298]
would have gone four games you know i
[299]
i'm just um i think that's one of the
[301]
most disappointing things is
[304]
you know people have nothing to do and
[306]
we were giving them something to do and
[308]
and so you know we feel bad about that
[326]
you
