• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the radio or the apps or wherever you listen on
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the line to the Yukon Hockey Coaches Shows, the first
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of two this week. We've got a men's show tomorrow.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Mike Crispino with Dan Hurley and Tom Moore will be
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the guest six to seven writer on the Yukon Sports
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Network Varsity Network at varsitynetwork dot com. You know, I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: asked you, I think on Friday you know about your
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: top line, because all four lines I don't there's at
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: least one player and I know three players or at
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: least three lines have two players with double digit points.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And you want that because you want that depth. But
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it never hurts when your top line, Joey, Tats and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Jake really get going. It just helps. It just seems like,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, they're that top line. It would be nice
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to see them get going. And right now they're all
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on a hot streak.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Right now. Yeah they say they you know, uh had
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a pretty good weekend certain points wise, and yeah, it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you know, it's important that they get going. But as
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I said to you, it's important to me that all
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the lines are going right, I don't want to be
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a one line team. And you know, last year, no
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: one was counting on Joey Muldowney and Jake Richard to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: necessarily lead the team, right, you know, and they did.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So who's to say that Cayden Shahan can be the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: this year? Is Joey Muldowney. Like, That's what we're trying
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to build is it's not just one line on our
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: team that is going to score for us. We want
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: contributions up and down the lineup.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Ethan Witcomb is you know, a sophomore. He's on that
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: line as well with you know, one of the sophomores.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: When you think of Kayden Shahan and Ethan Witcomb last
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: year they were working hard together with Ethan Gardula. What's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the the update on Ethan Witcomb and kind of what
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: you're seeing his progress being.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's coming along. I think right now
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: he's playing with Ethan Gardula and Mike Murtag and they're
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: given us solid minutes. He scored a nice goal in
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the power play the other day, you know, so he's
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's a always a work in progress and he's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: continuing to work hard at his craft. And continuing to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: take coaching. And I saw him out there early this
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: morning working on his game. So that's all we can ask,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and you know, just be coachable and keep working hard
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and good things will happen.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: How different is tats in the middle? I know Ryan
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: played with Joey and Jake in the postseason when Honey
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: got hurt. How different is he in the middle than
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: say Hudson was, And what they what their talents are.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're different players. They're certainly different players, but they
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: are also similar in some aspects. They're both very good
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: offensive players. Ryan probably shoots the puck better than Hudson.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Hudson's probably a little more crafty and you know, savvy
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of a pockey player. But you know, they're still both excellent.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think Joey and Jake, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: are still thriving, whether it's Hudson or Ryan in between them.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: With Ryan, what if you're a Yukon fan and you're
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: showing up to watch a game and you're seeing that line,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: it just feels like Ryan is he skating with confidence?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: What is he doing that's making him kind of jump
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: off the ice at you as a fan watching watching
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: him play?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I think he's been like that since his sophomore year.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He just competes very hard. He skates well. Uh, he's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: tenacious on the puck. Yeah, you know, he's just yeah,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: he's very very tenacious on the puck. And he's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: good penalty killer. You know, plays a game the right way.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: He's a two hundred foot player and he takes pride
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Mike, and I'll use a comparison with Gino's team here
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: because you know, there are players that love to pass
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for a shoot later. I mean, Page, you know that'd
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be drilled by Gino. Shoot the ball, Shoot the ball, right.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You probably have a couple of players like that, ye,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that have that, you know, and they've got to make
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that split second decision to pass or to shoot. I mean,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I know you like good shot just like Gino does,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and you need to be efficient, But how did you know?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: That's got to be a tough decision to make because
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you're a playmaker, but yet you're being told to shoot
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the puck and that's got to be kind of a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: fine line, right.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the best way to describe that or
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the best thing I've ever heard about shooting the puck
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: or passing the puck. JP Persi, who used to play
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: for the Minnesota North Stars. He's a great player, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: we were recruiting his son, Zach a long time ago.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And at the time, we had a great player at
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Boston College. His name was Ben Eves and he probably
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: would have been the all time leading score there if
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: he didn't get hurt. He missed so many games throughout
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: his career. But he had a very short stick. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: JP was in on the recruiting visit with Zach and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: he said, Benny, your stick's too short, you know. He goes, well, Jp,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I like it because I can handle the puck and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I can pass it better. He goes, yeah, but you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: can't shoot the puck as well. And he goes, I know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: but I'd like to pass and stick handle. And he goes,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that's great, Benny. He goes, you get fifty assists, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: get fifty goals. We see who gets paid more. Well,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: that's like JA uses a really long stick. Yeah, so
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: it's to me like, you got to be able to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: shoot the puck if you overpass the puck. Yeah, you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: know you can't. We don't want to pass the puck
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: into the net. You got to shoot pucks. There's more
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: goals that come from pucks being rebounds and deflections and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: off of shots than there are back door plays like
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: those look pretty and they're empty nedders, But how often
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: do you see them? Not often. I don't know if
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: we had one. You know, we had four of the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: goals we scored this weekend, we're one time. Rashard's was
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a one timer, Witcomb's was a one timer. Muldowney's power
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: play goal was at one time timor uh, Frasier's was
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a one timer off of rebound. You know.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So Murdtech scored on a stuff.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Murtag scored on the stuff, you know, and I can't
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: remember Joey had another one. Uh didn Joey have two on? Yeah? Yes,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So it's just like you got to shoot the puck,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: The footnote to that is Zach Parisi had four hundred
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: and thirty four goals in his NHL career and almost
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: nine hundred points, but he did have twenty more assists
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: than goals, So I don't know if you totally listen.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you have four hundred goals in the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: NHL almost points, you're doing okay. He didn't have one
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: hundred goals and eight hundred assists.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he did all right.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to that point. Alexander Vetchkin still
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: got paid more than Zach Paris.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the guys, some guy named Gretzky, although he
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: had a ton of assists but a lot of goals too.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All right, this we're with cav It's a U kind
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of hockey coaches show. We're live at Bear Smokehouse, BARB.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: But you stay with us mort a minute here on
• 6:53
