Transcript

00:00Yeah, it feels great.

00:13You know, when the schedule came out, I don't know how many people had us advancing, but

00:17you know, we never stopped leaving in the room and just wanted to play our game and

00:20give ourselves a chance.

00:21And we got some unbelievable hockey players in there and it shows what we can do and we

00:27play at our best.

00:28And it's just a really fun group to be a part of.

00:31You've had some cracking results, haven't you?

00:33Yeah.

00:34Like you said, sort of initially when that draw came out, there were probably a few people,

00:37a lot of people possibly, thinking, well, you know, they're not going to regress.

00:41Did that fuel the fire in the group, do you think, as well, perhaps to prove a few people

00:44wrong?

00:45Yeah, I think so.

00:46It's not too often in Sheffield you get to be an underdog, so I think we kind of embraced

00:49that underdog mindset from the beginning and then all of a sudden, I think after game one

00:53against Freiburg, we were like, oh my goodness, like, we could play with these guys.

00:57It's like, we're not an underdog here, we belong here and I think we wanted to prove

01:00to people that, you know, we're real good at hockey, we've got real good hockey players

01:04in that dressing room and, you know, we could play with anyone and, yeah, and we just wanted

01:09to go out and do what we can do.

01:12Yeah, I was aware, it was a very good feeling to know that we had qualified.

01:17We went in and just kind of congratulated the guys before the game, obviously well-deserved,

01:23but we talked about, you know, the run of play that we've been on here and, you know,

01:27making sure that we start building good habits again and that pathway we felt like, if we

01:33didn't get points tonight, we were going to be up, end up in Farystad or in Zurich, you

01:37know, finishing in 15th or 16th place and we, you know, we'd have liked to finish with

01:43three points tonight and move up the standings even further, but, you know, we've drawn a

01:49really good hockey club in Ice Bear in Berlin, which will make things quite interesting,

01:54you know, with Kirky coming back to town and Danny and Mike, family affair there as well,

02:02which is fun too, so it's, what a matchup.
