  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Men's Hockey Coaches Show and live
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: at Bear Smokehouse Barbicue. Dan Connelly's here, so now the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: show can really get going here. Dan of course covers
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: all the games for the Yukon Blog, Yukon Blog, Hockey
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Hub Yukon Hockey Hub. Yes, paid service, but check it out.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Dan writ's good stuff. Adam Jerdino is here with coach
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: cav cannot rave enough about what your power play has
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: done since the start of the second semester. I know
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: we talked about that a lot in the Coaches Show,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: but two greasy goals off rebounds on the power play
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. Jake Richard had the outstanding one timer at
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Providence on Friday, but Ethan Gardula's goal that made it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: three to one. Kid showed a lot of good patients
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: because the rebound came off his knee. He easily could
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: have panicked and swaped, but he settled down, was able
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to keep his poison and rake it in for the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: first goal of the game.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he has that type of patience in his game.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: He's a very, very cerebral player. He can make short
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: little plays which at times the novice might not appreciate
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: it as much as someone who watches the game intently.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: He really makes good little five foot plays, which is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: very hard to do on a consistent basis, and he
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: was like, as you alluded to, he showed great patience
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on that goal.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And almost the same thing with jake'schull on the rebound
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: after that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Well. One of the things I think that our power
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: play is doing really well right now is, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago, when someone was scouting a power play,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it's they're in an umbrella or they're in an overload,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and that that was the formation that you stayed in.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: That's become obsolete. You have to be able to change
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: your formation and your shape of a power play. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you can start in a one to three one, but
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: then you might move to a spread or you might
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: move to an overload type situation, and that is what
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: confuses defense. You know, a penalty killed defense. When you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: just stay in the same shape, it's very easy to kill.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So I think our power play is doing a really
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: good job of changing the shape of the power play
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and then delivering it to the net and having bodies
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and people around the net when the puck gets there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Do you generally change shape while the puck is still
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: in the zone, or is it okay the puck releases
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: the zone next time we go in.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, you have to change the shape while
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a puck is in the zone.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: That's really the only way I think you can confuse
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a penalty.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Kill, and that's based on and you leave that autonomy
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to the players too to help to do that. There's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: no set thing to do that as far as exos
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and those are going. They got to kind of feel
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: their way through it and figure it out.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Well, some of it has to be holistic. They have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to be able to read the play.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It just can't. You can't script the power play and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: say this is what we're doing. The penalty kill will
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: read that. It has to be they have to read
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: off the penalty kill and if they're doing this, then
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: we're going to change the shape to that. And if
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: they're doing this, then we're going to change the shape
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to this. So that's where I think Tyler's done a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: great job with our powerplay, educating them on when this happens,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: this is what we need to do.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Speaking more about Ethan Gardula and just that that knack
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that he has for making those five foot plays.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Is it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Extra confidence that he has possessing the puck. Is it
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a really good stop watch in his head? Is it vision?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: What is the skill that allows it?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Hockey sense? And I wish it there was something you
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: could teach he just he has it in spades, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: he's he's really good with the puck and he can
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: make those little plays. And the really really good players
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: with good hockey sense they know what they're going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: do with the puck before they get it, and he's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: one of those players.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean gets it and gets rid of
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it that quick. It's just I get the puck and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I I know where I'm going with it, even if
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it takes me two seconds to make it happen.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: A lot of times, though, especially on the power play,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: it's when I get it, I'm either shooting it or
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I'm moving it. And that's what he does really well.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Mike penalty kill has been really, really good as well. Yes,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: they scored on a deflection on the five minute major
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to win the game the other night in Hartford, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for the most part it's been good. It was nice
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to see it firsthand in person for the first time
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in a while. The speed is there, obviously, the aggressiveness
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and boy, you had enough plenty of shorthanded chances and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Ryan saddle shorthanded goal. That was a thing of beauty.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: That was great Friday night. It was a really high
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: end skill play. But I think overall, as we might
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: have talked about it the last time I was on
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the show, we're doing a really good job of staying
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: connected as a penalty kill, right and when you do that,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you're going to get turnovers and a lot of times
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the penalty power play is flat footed. Then you can
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: expose them when that happens. And knowing when to go
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and when to is the puck is another trait that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: good penalty kills have. And right now we're making pretty
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: good decisions on when this is going to be a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: two hundred foot clear, get it out of here and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: get it down there, Let's get a change, or we
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: have a potential two on one opportunity in front of us,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: let's take that instead. So our forwards are doing a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: pretty good job with that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking back to Friday and there was a play
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that Providence did not score on where one of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: defensemen might have been John Spetz blew a tire it
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: your blue line right and it sprung them the other way.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: And I think it was was it Tray Scott that
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: sprinted back or was it Kai one of somebody sprinted.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking about the stretch stretched out.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And he just totally It could.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Have been probably yeah, I can't remember who it was.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: It should have been almost a two one oh the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: other way. Just the way that the puck exited the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: zone with Spats hitting the deck, but just the ability
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: for you talk about the speed of this team and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to have a guy that can get back and just apply.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I think he took the trailer out by just a
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: little bit to allow Tyler to focus on the play
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: at hand. So I guess it really just feels like
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: this team makes some plays that covers up mistakes that
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: maybe other years past, maybe the speed like that wasn't there.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I think speed is a great equalizer, and when
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you're quick, you can make up for mistakes. I've coached
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: teams where you can take three guys and sometimes get
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a little more aggressive in the offensive zone because typically
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you don't want three guys down below the face off
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: circles because if the puck turns over. It's usually going
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the other way and it's an odd man rush, but
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: when you have confidence that your three guys can catch them,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you can be a little more aggressive. And this is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a team that skates really well.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll take another break back with cav
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and then it's Big Viking Gustav Senneiberg. At the bottom
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of the hour. As you're listening to the Yukon Hockey
