We know every game going into the end of the season is like a game 7. We are fighting for our playoff spot.

They also outshot the Blaze 31-28, with 15 of the Blaze&#8217;s shots coming in the final period when they were already 4-1 down.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: You were buzzing on the Stephan Anderson and Tyler Welsh line; how was it playing with those two?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cYeah, it is easy! It&#8217;s nice; they know what they&#8217;re doing at all times. It\u2019s easy all over the ice, even in the offensive zone and defensive zone. So, it\u2019s been fun playing with them.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Betteridge, Welsh, and Anderson are all renowned for their excellent defensive game, but it was their offense that really stood out to me. The three players managed 2 goals, 13 shot attempts, with 11 on target!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: What\u2019s the room like after that performance?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cYeah, it\u2019s huge for us. This group that we have is special; we are all a big family, so to get the win the way we did tonight was great. The crowd was impeccable; you probably heard it yourself. They have been our backbone all season long. We thank them as a group. That was a huge performance for us which was much needed. It was a happy locker room in the end.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">From the outside looking in, it\u2019s clear to see how tight-knit this group is. The perfect example of this came this week when Panthers forward Alexander Lunsjo and his partner Sandra had a gender reveal with the entire Panthers&#8217; squad. For them to share this moment with the team shows the family dynamic Ollie talks about. Congratulations to Alex and Sandra on the baby girl!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: This game was pivotal in the playoff push; what was said before the game to make the team come out so strong?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:300,&quot;335559739&quot;:300,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWe have played really well recently. You look at Sheffield away; we battled all the way and took them to the wire. We played Cardiff, and that was another big performance from us after going down and tying it back up, showing our warrior mentality. We know what we have in the locker room; we know we can do it and we have belief, and that\u2019s the biggest thing in our locker room. We are a big family, and we go out there and put our bodies on the line.
