Adam Fantilli on the team’s fatigue in their loss to the Sabres
BACK TO BUFFALO, HERE’S FANTILLI IN THE JACKETS ROOM. >> Reporter: DID YOUR LEGS CATCH UP WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT MAYBE IN THE THIRD PERIOD. >> YEAH, I MEAN, COMING OFF THAT GAME AGAINST THE LEAFS AND THEN FLYING AND PLAYING TODAY, ESPECIALLY AN EARLIER GAME, YOU’RE GOING TO FEEL A LITTLE
BIT SLOW TO START. YEAH, I GUESS THE LEGS KIND OF CAME AS THE LEGS — AS THE GAME WENT ON. NOT REALLY THE PROBLEM IN THE GAME, THOUGH, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. I DON’T THINK IT WAS THAT. I THINK IT WAS MORE DECISION MAKING AND TRUST IN EACH OTHER.
>> Reporter: PUCK MANAGEMENT TYPE STUFF? >> YEAH, JUST MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION AT THE RATE TIME, TIME DECISION AT THE RATE TIME, TIME AND PLACE TO MAKE A PLAY. I THOUGHT AT POINTS WE SHOWED FLASHES OF THE WAY WE WANT TO PLAY AND WE WERE REALLY ROLLING
WHEN WE WERE AND THEN THERE WERE SOME POINTS WHERE WE JUST WEREN’T AND IT COST US. >> Reporter: SAID TOUGH BACK-TO-BACK AND YOU GUYS GET THREE OUT OF FOUR POINTS IN THIS ONE. I KNOW THE RECORD ISN’T WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT NOW BUT CAN YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND SAY
THIS IS A BIG POINT, JUST TO GET A POINT IN TODAY’S GAME? >> YEAH, POINTS AREN’T EASY TO COME BY IN THIS LEAGUE SO
Adam Fantilli says there was some fatigue in the team’s loss to Buffalo, but that’s not the reason for tonight’s results.
