“We’ll Do Whatever it Takes to Make a Late Push” | Dylan Cozens on Remainder of the Season

You guys had to you know really hang out to win and find ways to win play well maybe not play well but still win the game how much confidence you’re getting from that L yeah I mean that’s that’s definitely a big step for us you know um

I think that’s last year maybe that’s something startled with to bit those tight games uh you know we get a little nervous or something but this year I think we’ve been able to really hang on in those games and and um you know not not blow the lead and and keep playing

Playing with confidence not not playing scared not sitting back so that’s just a big step for hit on buing last night bul your team up bulk the Hurricanes up bul the crowd up and just kind of change the whole tener the whole feel of the game yeah I mean I

Don’t I don’t know how much you could have done but um yeah obviously trying to be physical there and and get the crowd into it a bit um so that’s all I was really trying to do is just uh maybe lay the body and uh you know he went

Down so you and him still have a bit of a war going I don’t think so not as much as we used to too um I mean he’s he battles hard and uh he always like to battle hard against him too so I think we’ll always always battle against each

Other was obviously frustrated last night by the calls but the way he bounced back from those he was a lunatic in those ships after what was it like for you guys to see him play with that kind of fire and that kind of intensity yeah I mean that’s that’s exactly what

We’ve talked about before is using that frustration as fuel and drive and uh that’s exactly what he did he know he was frustrated pissed off and used it to to take it an extra gear and uh and battle even harder so you know that was a big response for him like out

PRS new opportunities on a fresh line yeah I mean he’s been he’s been unbelievable lately U you can see the confidence that’s growing and you know he’s always had so much skills so it’s I’m happy for him to get that opportunity uh he works so hard and um

You know he just yeah he works so hard every day and for you get that opportunity and you know play the way he is right now I could be happier OPP just moving to the right side open up for you I guess yeah um I think it allows me

To maybe get Puck entering his own late instead of being the middle Drive guy I think I could be the guy that you know gets the puck on the lateral across and maybe more uh Slash opportunities one-on-one opportunities maybe even breakway opportunities this week you guys went to

Florida last year you won the two games you were in a playoff spot this year obviously we know Dynamic of where you are just how much are you guys at this point just playing and you just can’t worry about the standings unless you start winning seven eight n in a row

Yeah um we know uh we know where we are obviously and um you know obviously not thrilled with it but it’s where we are and that’s the reality so um you know we we we have a choice to make we talked about this a while ago we can just we

Can play the rest of these games or we can uh you know want to make a late push and uh that’s what we’re going to do is we’re going to do whatever it takes leave it all out there to to make a late push and and get in the playoffs here

Know for a long time did you know in your mind once he get an opportunity like this if he would take advantage of it for sure um yeah I mean he’s he’s always been uh very skilled and and you know he yeah like I said before he just

Worked so hard so I knew that once he he got this opportunity it was it was very well deserved and uh I knew he was going to make the most of it so you know it’s it’s fun watching him play right now and uh you know just excited to watch him

Keep growing and and get more and more confidence you might I time R amount of ice time R has had really has been done in the NHL in a long time what do you think allows him to handle his minutes the way he does um you know I obviously

He’s conditioning it’s a big one um and just I mean he’s so smart and he he knows how to read the game he knows the the situation of the game and then when to try and make a play and when to just get it out of the zone and I think

That’s something he’s taking a big step with this year is just you know sometimes it’s always not the pretty Play It’s just uh flicking it out of the zone and and creating you know just get it out yeah it’s nice I think that’s something we we’ve talked about a lot

This year is it’s not always a pretty play sometimes just as simple as that a shot on net and a rebound and uh you know we’ve been starting to find it a bit more on the power play lately so um there’s no better time than now to to

Really get going and get hot so uh to keep that going f
