Newhook Segment:
[Pengu] Newhook on what he takes away from last night that they can bring into the next one: "We generated a lot more offense, which was good. Bit off the rush, bit in zone. That's been a focus for us. We need to score goals on our away games. You can't just be good defensively, you got to be able to put it all together and last night was close to where we want to be. So, take that and move forward and continue to stay on that attack mentality"
[Pengu] Newhook on what MSL pushing the buttons after the slip in the second period says to him: "It's good. We have a standard here and at this point, now, we need to win every game. He's sending a message that everyone needs to be ready to go. Everyone needs to be up to our standards as a team. It holds a high level for the group as a whole."
[Pengu] Newhook on the team meeting where it was made clear that it's not about hurting people's feelings but being honest with each other, and what that meant to the group moving forward: "It's important. You got to have a standard amongst the players as well in order to hold each other accountable. Night in, night out, it's like you said, it's not about hurting guy's feelings, but just keeping that standard high amongst the group. It doesn't have to come from the coach all of the time. It could come from each other. We're a close group. We're all comfortable with holding each other to high standards. We got to continue to do it every night."
Slafksovsky Segment:
[Pengu] Slafkovsky on if it's the right timing to have his family support: "Yeah. My parents come often. It's nice to have my mom over here."
[Emrith] Juraj Slafkovský: "I'm still 20 but it's my 3rd year and expectations are higher…"
[Pengu] Slafkovsky on if he knew right away that he was benched: "Haven't told me anything. No. They saw me playing pissed and no conversations there. Just listen who's going on the ice next."
[Pengu] Slafkovsky on the value of the coach holding the players to a higher standard through benching: "For sure. We have high expectations here. Everyone. Coaches expect a lot from us. We expect a lot from ourselves, so yeah. It's good to have high standards."
