  Speaker 1: pair of games this weekend. Game one is in Amherst
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: on Friday night and then game two seven o'clock at Toscano.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Our next radio broadcast, because the Yankees made it to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the World Series, will do the home We'll do the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: two games of the Vermont Series in the first week. Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We're all Red Sox fans, so yeah, we're all booming.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We were supposed to do Friday night's game up at
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: up at amhers but that is.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Not getting into the Cleveland team, you know, and watch
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: them play. But you know, have some friends in Cleveland
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and they're die hard fans. They've been in they've been
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: probably a worse situation than the Red Sox fans. Oh yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the last time the Tribes.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: They yeah, forty something, they've got the longest drought as
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: it stands. Yeah, and ironically they beat the Red Sox
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to get into the World Series the one game playoff
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: in forty eight.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And route again against the Yankees.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Lou Boudrou the inventor of the shift, by the way,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on Ted Williams. That's old school stuff. Uh, Mike, we
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: mentioned going into the break you had to start Thomas
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Haney in that because time Usili got hurt at the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: end of the second Holy Cross game, made a fantastic
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: save on the play he got hurt. But what are
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on what Thomas gave you on the Friday night?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a tough situation for him. I think
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to start the season he was if he's going to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: get into a college game. I don't think he was
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: expecting to start the BU game at BU. But he
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: did a great job. He did. He gave us a
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: chance to win the hockey game, and that's all I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: could ask of him. So he stepped up in a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: big situation.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: So you you kind of said it there where it's
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: okay if he if he gets in, wouldn't have expected
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to be that one. So what conversations did you have
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: as you're looking to bring him in from It's a
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: junior team in Maine, and so it's a little bit
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: atypical of a pedigree for a guy that would come
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: in and start against the number three team in the country.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we recruited him, you know, as a third
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: string goaltender. Not that being said, we're going to play
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the best players, but certainly you know Ty had had
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: experience and Callum had a very decorated junior career out
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: in BC. So you know, on your depth chart on paper,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you had those two ahead of Tommy. But both of
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: them have suffered some injuries here and that's the way
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: it goes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You can get any either one of the injured goalies back
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: We're hoping too. Yeah, we're hoping to.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Callum hasn't got her in preseason, right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he's had an upper body injury and he's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: been out. He hasn't practiced, so I don't think he's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: practicing this week either.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So then what does it look like in practice?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Are you just practicing with one guy in net? Or
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: does Vince get to strap it on.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Well, there's another student we brought in to put on
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the roster just to help in practice from the club team.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I don't even think he was playing on the club team,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: but he had reached out to Vince earlier saying that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: if we ever needed anybody, he had played some He
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: had played some college hockey Division III, and then he
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: transferred to Yukon and he's getting a degree at Yukon.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So he's been he's been great. He's filled in.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Who's who's the school that recently had to do that? Mack?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, that's crazy, that's wild. Have you ever
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: had a situation like that where you've had to bring
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: someone in and and uh, actually have to play him? No,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not yet, Yeah that way. Let's let's talk Thomas a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: little bit here. He's six to one Oceanport, New Jerseys
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: where he's from. Uh, what are some of the intangibles? Okay,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: your jobs to stop the puck? He does that? But
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: does how does he handle the puck? What's he handles it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Pretty well? I thought that his most impressive quality was
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: how cool and calm and collected. He was like, that's
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a you know, you said there was homecoming weekend. That's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a tough building to play in. It's a hostile crowd,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and it didn't look like it phased him at all.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You know, he, like I said, he made some big
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: saves early and he gave us a chance to win.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Bet that was the thing. Watching from Afar on television,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: it felt like one of those situations where having to
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: make an early save got him settled in pretty quickly.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it did. You know, he didn't he had
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to make a few. He didn't have to make anything
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: crazy early on. But no, I thought he did. You know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: he stopped a breakaway. Actually he stopped breakaway early, So yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I thought the guys rallied around him and as I said,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: he gave us everything he had.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: How much notice did he have about being the goalie?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean Ty got hurt and the Holy Cross game.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did practice Thursday, but he couldn't, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: have to practice on Thursday. He just wasn't healthy enough
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to play against Bu.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: So I was doing a little map. Vince is in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: his early thirty so he's just beyond.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: His birthday today, Vince.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday. Is Was it ever a thought that he
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: might have to get it in practice?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Okay? No, no, no, no.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: How do you got his first goal of the year? Yes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: breakaway first period in a first period that sounded like
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you guys played very very well. Is following on Twitter
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: while I was at a family function. But how do
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: he finally got off, gets off the shelf and gets
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the first one to go in?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: He did? Yeah, he you know, he was battling a
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: respiratory issue the first basically the first month of school,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and I think against BU was the first time I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: saw him where he looked like his old self, like
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: he battled through Colgate and he battled through Holy Cross
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: just because that's who he is. But he had not
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: been feeling one hundred healthy, and I thought he had
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of jump and was was really into the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: game at BU.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: And to this point in the season, points wise, Jake
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Percival has been outstanding. But he had the shorthanded goal
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: against Boston Universe, So it was a bit of a
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: give and go situation. Was that an intentional drop pass
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: when he was rushing down ice on the short handed
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: bid or with that?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: So I think I think Taber was yelling for it
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: so and he was. He was kind of boxed. The
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: defenseman had a pretty good gap on him. So it
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: was a really nice play and then Taber giving it
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: back to him and it was a good finish.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to talk to Taber. He's one of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: our guests along with Ryan Tettle tonight I'm the Coaches Show.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Tabor will be first. You mentioned this I think last
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: week or the week before with Jake's good start Percival.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: In fact, both Jake's are off the good starts scoring
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the puck. But they're both juniors now, they're both stepping up,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and obviously part of it is the progression of just
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: getting better and being more comfortable now that you were
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in your third year.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the hallmark of a good program is
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: that when kids are juniors and seniors they start having
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: their best years. You want to see improvement throughout players.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I've said for years, I always thought Dick humilliate you
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and h did a great job with that because you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Jason Kragg was a kid who had four goals as
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a freshman and then he has thirty as a sophomore.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You know, he would just they had kids that you'd
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: be like, where's this kid been, and they just, you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: they played, and they might play third fourth line minutes
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: or ten minutes a game, and then by the time
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they're juniors and seniors, they're high end players. So that's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: one of the things that we want to keep developing
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: players and you know, their best years of hockey. We
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: want them to be their junior and senior years at Yukon.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Both goals that were scored Chandor and Percival. It was
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: moved that forced Kuran to go one side to the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: other and then slide it through the five hole. How
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: much practice and patience? Is that just one more tool
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: in the tool bag or is that something that you
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: guys work on because it is such an effective way
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to beat the goalie.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Well, you see a lot of great goal scorers. They
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: try to shoot five hole because the goalie's got to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: move his legs when you move the puck one way
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: there the howe he moved there from the kind of
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: backhand to his forehand. The goalie's got to respect that,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and if he doesn't, then he can shoot the puck,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, far side. But when the goalie moves his feet,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you know, there's an art to sliding it through. Jonathan
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Taves used to be fantastic at it. He was so
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: good at it. And Sydney Crosby's very good at it,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So there is a skill to it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: We come back, we'll get an up there on the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: freshman some of them making some impacts and one, uh, well,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: about a week and a half ago in his first
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: game scored his first goal. That would be Trey Scott.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: We're with Mike Kavanaughs, The Yukon Hockey Coaches Show. We're
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: live at Bear Smokehouse Barbecue. Later, Tabor he slipping Ryan
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Taddle here on Learfield
