Christian Wolanin Postgame Interview | May 3/23

The series goes to a new level tonight uh that's an interesting question. No I dont think so. I think I think we will compete and I will just talk about our ranking in the competition. It's like fighting things after the whistle all those little things were still there um the penalties both ways that were still there it was just a matter of the rebounds were going our way a little bit more tonight and we got away from that those two games in Calgary obviously there was It was a disappointment to go down too, but we kept saying, you know, tonight is all we can control, you can't control Friday, you can't control Sunday, so we're focused on tonight and it felt the same and, Like I said, we were lucky.

Enough to get the bones to continue on our way, a very even team, watching them practice even though their backs were against us, we knew the level of adversity, but this team always seems to be like that, what's the point now after to win tonight? What hopes? having a um JC who even killed a guy, um, you know, our captain Chase has the same type of personality, so when the leaders unlock a space like that, it's easy to stay back and follow their leads, so, like I said , It is not like this. a position where you want to be under oath, but the only thing you can control is one game at a time, one moment at a time, and I thought we did our best job of taking a five-minute increment as they approached points.

It's pretty easy for you in the regular season, not so much in the first few postseason games. How nice it was to get a rebound for the goal tonight. Yes. I look at the wins and losses. Obviously I've been fortunate to have a couple of individual achievements. this year, but I'm not stupid, I am fully aware that the success I have had is strictly due to the people around me, my teammates and the situation that the coaching staff has put me in, so, yes, that . the statistics, the only ones that matter to us at this time of the year, wins and losses, and obviously with two points it is good to contribute, but I care more about the victory, a lot of the scenes of wins and losses, and tonight you will know the team . goals this year he's the guy that gets that first Power Play goal, what does that mean for the group when you see him get going early?

I mean, it's good for a unit, our power play led by me, so I'll take a lot of advantage. Guilt wasn't so good in Calgary, you know, every time you go over whatever, it's just not going to help the team and not only that on the scoreboard for momentum, so AGS, excuse me, Holmes and JC have been very good at put us in good positions and getting ready for games and we didn't execute in Calgary, we knew that and um those practices leading up to tonight, we really dug into it and we were grateful to get one.
