Jeff Skinner Postgame Interview vs Columbus Blue Jackets (12/30/2023)
Jeff you had a great chance off the post third talk about the overtime winner if you would how it came about yeah Tom obiously made a great play sort of breaking in there hit the post and then to stay on it uh great job winning the
Battle um getting over to op and op obviously a nice pass to me in the front how worrisome was that game you were out playing them I mean you certainly out out out shot them that shot attempts the scoring chances the whole thing but it wasn’t going your way you were still
Down a goal to Middle St scored how worried were you uh as you were playing out that game uh I don’t think worried to worried I think just for us we just you get in a game like that you need to find that extra gear that that extra little bit of desperation urgency
Around a net I think like we had on our first call you see sort of three guys in front I think they had all five guys in front and Quinny kind of pulls it out and puts it in it’s it seemed like one of those nights where that was the way
It was going to go obviously the the go by mity wasn’t that play but uh but yeah I think those games you just have to stick with it and you just have to find that extra gear cuz um you’re not getting a bounce it’s it’s it’s not coming for you you got to
Create it yourself somehow for you guys what was the dynamic like with you know don don out with you know the illness and and Seth you know stepping into into that role today yeah obviously we hope Donnie’s uh Donnie feels uh better and and gets gets better as quick as he can
But uh I mean I think that’s been in organization a long time obviously we we have a lot of young guys that have played with played for him and um we all see him at training camp for the two or three weeks that he’s here so it’s it’s
Not like he’s he’s kind of a stranger new voice coming in I think the transition was was was smooth and uh again I think the the coaches they they do the job of of giving us the game plan before the game and it’s up to us as
Players to go out and execute and I I I would assume Donnie was involved in in part of the game plan and um yeah they gave us a good game plan and we just have to execute and um we got the result we wanted how’ you characterize with
Jack ads to the lineup uh he’s he’s he’s huge for us he’s a huge part of the team he’s so Dynamic he um I think of course that line is is is pretty special together I think they have some great chemistry and um I think we missed him
When he was out it’s nice to see him come back and and not really miss a beat shoters you guys with that game right to the end but just how tight were you guys offensively as a group especially that third period where you still were stuck
On one goal I mean it it happened some games um again I think you generate as many chances you can but I think for us we just got to do a better job of of getting on those second or third opportunities sometimes sometimes it’s a timing thing
Too I think you obviously going to the middle of the The Ice and in front of the net there’s it’s not like you have a whole bunch of time there and sometimes the Puck’s gone when you get there so um yeah I think you just you just have to
Find that that level of urgency and then obviously MSY is it’s a huge goal for us there um I think uh to sort of um get the good feel in again

Only reason Sabres won was Blue Jackets ran out of gas from playing night before.
