- 0:05Speaker 1: I think it's before the BU series, towards the end
- 0:09Speaker 1: of the month. Bob Joyce, Mike Kavanaugh, Adam Jerdino with you.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Coming up. Thomas Cineo and Ryan Tattle will be our
- 0:15Speaker 1: player interviews coming up, starting with Tom in the next segment.
- 0:18Speaker 1: A lot of new faces. But let's start defensively, because
- 0:21Speaker 1: obviously Thomas Cineo is now the old man in the defense.
- 0:25Speaker 1: But what you got out of your freshman duo of
- 0:27Speaker 1: Janverrea and Scott playing together late in the season, especially
- 0:30Speaker 1: on the man advantage, was just so huge for the
- 0:34Speaker 1: help of this team. Now John Spetts has gone, obviously
- 0:37Speaker 1: you've brought in a couple of young guys to help
- 0:39Speaker 1: on the defensive side. But what's that whole group look
- 0:42Speaker 1: like going into the season opener?
- 0:44Speaker 2: Yeah, we have two new defensemen, you know, well, in
- 0:51Speaker 2: some ways three because Kevin Fitzgerald didn't last year, but
- 0:54Speaker 2: he was around and it's not like he's new to
- 0:58Speaker 2: the program. He understands how we play and what we
- 1:02Speaker 2: want to do. So I don't really consider him, you know,
- 1:05Speaker 2: a rookie so to speak.
- 1:07Speaker 1: And by all accounts it sounds like he worked his
- 1:08Speaker 1: tail off too.
- 1:09Speaker 2: He did. He's a lot of credit to Ed Blair
- 1:12Speaker 2: and our training staff too to get him back. He
- 1:16Speaker 2: and then we have Brendan Dunfie and Anthony Elaine Samaki,
- 1:21Speaker 2: two newer players. And you know, Brendan's a big kid.
- 1:25Speaker 2: He's six', five can, skate he's, long kind of in
- 1:29Speaker 2: the mold Of. Viking and Then anthony is he's a
- 1:34Speaker 2: good sized kid, Too he's probably six,' two, effortless skater,
- 1:39Speaker 2: you Know From. Montreal quebec both both of them are going,
- 1:42Speaker 2: to be, you know counting on them to play minutes
- 1:45Speaker 2: for us this year and be a big part of our.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Defensive corps wait.
- 1:50Speaker 1: A, minute adam there, you GO am, I, on yeah

- 2:04Speaker 3: five what else in his skill set jumps out at
- 2:08Speaker 3: you besides just the obvious of oh big, guy back
- 2:12Speaker 3: there who you know we want him to? Block a
- 2:14Speaker 3: shot he? Takes, up space yeah.
- 2:15Speaker 2: He's certainly a. Great penalty killer he makes a really,
- 2:18Speaker 2: good first, pass defends, well you Know. Much, like viking
- 2:24Speaker 2: yeah Very. Similar to viking so where you know you're
- 2:28Speaker 2: always trying to you Don't want six kaijian variers and
- 2:32Speaker 2: you Don't want six viking right type players like you
- 2:36Speaker 2: got to, have a mix and that's what we try
- 2:38Speaker 2: to do when we build.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Our defensive core what will People See from kevin fitzgerald
- 2:43Speaker 1: on the ice when he's a.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Really good skater he, Defends extremely well he's an. Excellent
- 2:52Speaker 2: penalty killer he can jump into the playoffensively when, he
- 2:55Speaker 2: has to but he makes his living defending and he's
