The Carolina Hurricanes host the New York Rangers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference playoff series.

Live updates: Can Hurricanes be 10th team to force Game 7 after 3-0 series deficit?

I sure do. Deborah. Thank you so much, Rod. We stood here last week and we were staring up at a pretty steep mountain. The fellows could have maybe collapsed there on the climb, but you guys have stuck to your identity and stick to what works. How important was that here to get within one? Well, listen, we're giving ourselves a chance and fight another day and that's kind of been the motto and guys have played their butts off here. We are, we're still hanging in there and obviously, our situation really hasn't changed, but we're getting closer and like I said before, I knew we were going to play hard and I expect the same tonight. Perhaps another big reason why we're standing right here tonight is your captain, Jordan Stahl has played in all 73 playoff games that you have coached as a former captain of this franchise. Just what do you admire about? Not only what he does on the ice, but how he goes about it. You just said that I couldn't be prouder of an athlete and you said I have been able to witness it for a long time and it every night. It's the same when you can count on people. Those are the kind of people you want to have around and so happy for him the other night because he deserved it. And what a goal. And hopefully we have another one of those tonight. You guys gave up four power play goals, the first three games, none. In the last two, we talked a lot about execution there. What have you liked about the little changes you guys have made? Well, listen, they're, they're one of the best power players in the league. They've got immense talent and you're not gonna shut them down. But I thought we did a nice job of making them have to do their 2nd and 3rd reads and getting on them. You know, that's the whole key, that's the way we do it best, you know, we got kind of hosed on the, on the first couple of games, but they made great plays and it wasn't easy and that's the whole key to, is not making it easy on tonight's going to be rocking. You know, the cans are going to be out in full force. Does that give you chills when you come out here for that? Always, whether it's a regular season game or obviously this one where it's a little more amped. We have great fans in here. We know that everyone knows it across the whole hockey world and we have a special place in here. Good luck tonight. I appreciate it. Thanks. All right, Deborah. I'll send it back to you guys.
