Alan, you keep saying we have yet to see full Coozy, but Coozy was on full display tonight with three assists.

0:06.6

No, he was. He was spectacular tonight. I've loved the last three games of him, the speed, the pace, the tempo, you name it, the wanting the puck, the wanting to be the guy that gets the points, the goals, the assists, whatever it is.

0:17.1

Tonight, he was on point, did everything he did, and I don't think we'll ever get to see full Cousie

0:23.5

because I think they put the defensive part of the game into his body, and he's not going to let us see it.

0:29.0

Brian McNally, they desperately needed a goal in that third period.

0:32.7

It was 1-1, not much in the way of scoring chances.

0:36.0

You don't want to lose this first of the home-and-home with Carolina

0:39.1

on your home ice and then Ovi struck for 49

0:43.2

because he could sense they needed something big.

0:45.6

Tom Wilson, really nice play, right?

1:10.1

Going this three-game road trip coming up, Carolina, Tampa, and Florida, and he'll try to get to that magic number again. Should be interesting. Yeah, it would be his 8th, 50 goal season. Sucks he won't do it on Home Eyes, probably not, because I think he's going to get it done at some point of these next three games, but it will be big. Ryan Billy, back on the podcast now.

1:29.7

It's a good way to start a big week of a home-and-home with Carolina with Tampa looming

1:34.3

to get a win that ends up being a convincing win.

1:37.3

A real convincing win.

1:39.9

Alan said it during the post-game show.

1:41.6

They were methodical.

1:42.7

That was a very methodical, just sort of – it was close, obviously, and Brian said it during the post-game show. They were methodical. That was a very methodical,
