• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you've been on the road except for one home game
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in January. Now it's you have the luxury of not
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: getting out. Well you do get on a bus to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: go to Hartford. Okay, that happens, but you're gonna be
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the state for a while. I mean this. My
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: wife is going to love me, yeah, or she's gonna
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: be sick of.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true too. Yeah. She's going away anyway. She's
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: going away for spring break with my daughter.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So that's nice.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: They're going to have the whole house to yourself.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: That's a vacation for me too, right. Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Is there a dog or a cat in the house?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Hell no, no, no, Oh.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: My two kids are enough.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: That's it. That was That's one thing we both agree on.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: No dogs, no cats.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's like having another kid.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It certainly is. In fact, my wife I was driving
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: up forty four coming from basketball yesterday and I saw
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a sign that said little you know labs for some
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: black labs. And I said, I said, do you want
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a dog? I said, jokingly said that because I know
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: she doesn't.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: She goes, no, no dogs.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: We might fight like cats and dogs sometimes, but we
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: don't want him in the house.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: We got Viking Gustavsen Nyberg coming up, young man out
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of Stockholm, Sweden who came over with Nick Perusi from
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Northern Michigan. What about the impact of this big, big
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: burly defenceman and he's had.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: On your program. Yeah, he's been great. He was a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: late ad And and you know it's ironic that you
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: have Hudson and Viking on the same night because the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: backstory there was Viking would have never come if Hudson
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: didn't give up his scholarship in the summer. Now, we
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: used nil money to make Hudson whole. But I went
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: to him and I asked him, and this shows you
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: what kind of team player he is. I said, we
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: have a chance to get a really good defenseman. Would
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you be open to giving up your scholarship because to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: try to get Hudson's on a graduate He's on a
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: certificate program as a graduate, which is considerably cheaper than
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: a foreign student coming in paying full freight at Yukon.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And Hudson was open to it. And that's the one
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: benefits of nil that you know, you in now make
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Hudson hole through nil, and we were able to do that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: But you know that's the type of kidious. He's just
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a selfless kid. I'll always be indebted to him because
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: he showed loyalty in coming back for a fifth year.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: He's an incredible leader. I can't say enough about him
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: as a as a person. And as you said today,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: you could have talked to him forever and that's how
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he is. Yeah, and Vikings just he's been a great
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: addition to our defensive corps. He's long, he's coachable, he's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: got sneaky, subtle offense that people probably don't realize, like
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: he's very good at getting pucks down in the net.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Just really enjoy coaching both of them.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: What is Viking at six five six six, two hundred
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and something pounds. What's his temperament like though off of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the ice when you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Want pretty mild manner. Yeah, yeah, Like I said, very coachable,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: He's open to a lot of coaching, very very mild mannered.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: But he plays hard in the game. He blocks a
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: lot of shots. He is physical when he needs to be.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: And when you have that type of length and you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: can skate like he can skate, he has a chance
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: to be a pro at some point.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Do you know where Philip played in Malmo, Sweden? Is
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: there any overlap between where Viking grew up?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think they ever had any overlap.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Do you have a nickname for Viking?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You guys just call him Viking. It's pretty good just
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to call him.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: It's a pretty cool name, right, right, Yeah, I don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: know Vike sometimes Vikes, I don't know everybody shortens.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we've got Hudson coming up too. I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: he is basically spoken for himself, but he spoke very
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: highly of his two line mates today and the connection
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that those three have. And if you're just joining us,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's Hudson gender with Jake Richard and Joey Muldowney as
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that line and they have been extremely productive, particularly on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the power plays of late. But it just seems with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: talking to Hudson today, those three have a really good connection,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: not only on the ice but off the ice excellent.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: They've been I thought all weekend they were dangerous every
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: time they were on the ice. And Joey they're all
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: three different players. Joey's a waterbug that can finish and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you know, compete well, they all compete hard. Hudson's a
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: more cerebral, you know, two hundred foot player, and Jake
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: has just got a ridiculous stick. He sees the game
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: really well. He makes quick decisions, but he's one of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: those players that he picks pucks out of the air.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: The puck finds him and he's like a magnet to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: that puck and he makes awesome plays when he has it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: As a coach, when you're building the lines and the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: deep heirings depairings are a little more set in stone typically,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: so with the way that this offense has been working,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: when you're able to go to a Hudson and say, hey,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you played with Jake and Joey and that for those
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: guys feels like, Okay, that's that's who we're going to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: battle with every night. What kind of luxury is it
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: for you when you when you have some lines that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you can just plug and play and you don't have
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to tinker with.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: You know, we tinkered quite a bit on Saturday. I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: think you have your set lines and you love to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: get into a rhythm of a game where you can
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: just roll lines and they're all going. But that's not
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: really it doesn't happen all the time. It's not realistic
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that that's going to happen game in and game out.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And when that doesn't happen, then you have to tinker
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a little bit, and we did on Saturday, and I
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: thought that got us back in the game when we
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: started to do that a little bit. And part of
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the reason was because we weren't winning face offs, so
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I tried to mix it up and get some guys
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: that could win some face offs for us. But when
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you to answer your question, when you have four lines
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that you feel like you can roll and you're not
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: worried about matchups, that's a great luxury to have.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: All right, get ready. Viking, Gustavs and Nyberg's coming up next.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Dan Hudson Shando a really good conversation with both of them.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: By the way, Viking has a nice big Swedish flagging
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: up on the wall in his room, just in case
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you didn't know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: That, would you?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: We didn't.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We didn't.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: It's like, how did you know that?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And he's got a night and he's had a nice
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: hockey jersey from his junior days in Sweden hanging up. Okay, yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a normal thing with hockey players. Most
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of them have jerseys hanging up on their walls.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I guess, So I guess I don't have any in
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: my house.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you had a hockey jersey hanging up in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: your house, who would you have? Would you have your
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: old one or.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Would I don't know. Give me some time to think
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: about that. I'll give you an answer when I come.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: You played it? Was it a polar bear on there?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Or was it all? But there was an actual like
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: one too, not the new ones that are. I had
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: an angry one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Love it all right, Viking, Gustus and Nieberg's next on
• 8:04
