Patrick Maroon

What's up, fellas?

How are you?

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to tell because I've never been in their room.

Obviously, losing seven straight is –

one is it's tough so i think um honestly at the end of the day just putting your work boots on just going to work um kind of weeding out the the noise and we not everything else and just take the structure out of the game and just just go play hard um you know it's tough i mean being a least fan i'm probably uh playing for the least a lot of pressure on those guys and i think uh

you know, you can see it too, you know.

And I know we can all sit there and say it doesn't bother people.

For sure it does.

You know, at the end of the day, as players, you read articles, and I know you guys did too when you played.

So as much as we can say we don't, you know, I think it does spiral sometimes in the room and reading too much or getting caught up in the wrong stuff.

Louis Blues?

There's not 25 media people in your room every day.

In Tampa, there's four people that walk in your room every day.

How does that affect pressure?

Well, I just think the articles and stuff like that and stuff that's out there,

At the end of the day, there's pressure everywhere you play.

You know, as a professional athlete, you guys lived it.

You have pressure every single day to perform and be at your best every single night.

Unfortunately, you're not going to have your best every single night.

And listen, if your A game is not your A game, then how do you find your B and C game?
