“We Played The Right Way” Tage Thompson On Postgame Show | Buffalo Sabres

How do you describe how it all unfolded after that first period here tonight yeah I mean I think um uh first period obviously there wasn’t a ton of Rhythm had to you know kill a couple penalties there and I think uh the till give us some big momentum uh especially going

Into the second there and um obviously going down by two uh you know obviously the last game um we we kind of just folded the tent and um you know that leaves a sour taste in your mouth and um I thought we responded the right way tonight now Tage when you scored your

First goal you overpowered the glove of the goal tender I know that feeling as a goalie because it really it it just makes you feel bad because the puck is going to hit your glove and it kind of folds over and it goes in how does that

Feel as a player when you know that you put a shot that the goalie got the glove on but it folded the glove over and it goes in do you like feel like oh this is my type of night like I got to keep shooting because it’s going to go in

Yeah I mean some nights they don’t go in for you and you got Point Blank looks and uh go makes good saves and some nights you get some lucky bounces and um you know it was nice to get a lucky bounce early there and kind of gets you

Feeling good about your game and from there you kind of just roll so um it was nice to get one early there healthy race to uh the 30 goal Plateau for you and PKA uh yeah I mean I think so uh obviously right now wins are um you know

What we’re fighting for and um I think goals are a byproduct of that playing the right way and um I thought that’s what what happened tonight we played the right way and um responded the way we needed to after um you know a disappointing loss and uh we keep doing

That I think you know the indiv the individual success follows so Tage did you even have to uh turn around and look at Don Granado when the icing happened before you scored your third goal or did you just jump on the ice point to the right Circle and said we got this let’s

Go Inn this game no he told us we were going I just wanted to get out there quick uh line right before us did a great job Heming them in um had a gas group out there so wanted to get back out and um not give him any time to to

Rest or get set set up so um you know I think that was the uh the a behind that one uh we were doing bald for bucks tonight Tage and I hope that this is just a nice little extra you know Silver Lining to the impressive night that you

Had but uh Sophia who was cutting Marty’s hair was very proudly sporting a Tage Thompson Jersey this evening and I know you’ve certainly seen all of this up close on our hockey fights cancer nights and uh just wanted to let you know how happy she was to see your

Performance tonight yeah no that’s great um you know I’m super happy for her and obviously everyone in the room is um you know fighting with her and um I think the Sabers do such a great job you know with Roswell and and partnering up and I think it’s obviously such a big cause

And um you know it’s nice to to kind of have that reminder that it’s it’s more than hockey and there’s uh some more important things to life so it’s it’s nice to see uh See Her yeah it was great to see her our friend Penelope was

Awesome uh but now I hate to do this to you but there’s another big game tomorrow night and so what’s uh what’s the you know I don’t want to call it rehab but what what do you do now to get ready for 24 hours later play is there a

Shake some nutritions that you have to stick to right now to get ready for tomorrow already yeah I mean I think just get a good meal in you get some rest it’s a quick turnaround um I’ve been saying this uh obviously you know when you follow a loss it’s important to

Respond the right way and I think it’s just as important after a win um obviously everyone’s feeling good right now and there’s that high in the locker room but I think it’s important to to come back down and get even ke and and focus up for tomorrow game obviously uh

It’s a big one and uh we got to come out hot so Tates thank you and uh congrats on the four goal game thank you
