  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Bear Smoke Cows Barbecue. It's our side
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: of our Yukon Hockey Coaches Show. Is we are in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: game week for Yukon and Colgate. Two games, both seven
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: thirty Friday and Saturday nights, will be on the air
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Friday night with game one of the series seven to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: fifteen on the radio. Adam will be doing some TV duties,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: but he'll join me for pre and postgame programming and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I will let you ask the next next question as
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: she started.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: You know, I had one last question about Moe Butler
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: before we transition back along and what makes her somebody
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: that the players connect to so much where you are
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: just able to put it all on her and say, hey,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: we trust what you're doing.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Well once She's very competent and knows, you know, the
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: strength and conditioning business as well as anybody. But the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: other thing that I really like about her is she's
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: willing to adapt. Is you know, as times change, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I think she has a really good feel for not
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: everybody can train the same way, and she has a
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: really good feel for this is our baseline, this is
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: what everybody has to do. But now this is what
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: you have to do a little like, you have to
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: work on speed and quickness and explosiveness, you have to
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: work on upper body strength, you have to work on
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: lower body strength. Like she just really knows how to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: personally detail each workout, but at the same time having
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: a baseline that everybody this is our foundation that everybody
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: has to do. So she just has a great feel
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: for it. She's been doing it for a long time
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: and we're fortunate to have her. No question about it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Anything new in the training process, the toys to play
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: with this year to help get these young men in shape.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I think you should have Moan and have her discuss that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I like, I really I'll go in and watch the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: workouts occasionally, but I just kind of let her do
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: her thing.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Do you ever get in the car?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Not often? Not often. I've said, I've got to make
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: more of a conscious effort to do it because I
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: know it's good for you, but it's just really not
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: something I'm adam.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been a nice stuff before?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I have once?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: That was it once.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: That was it in baseball clubhouse and that was one
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and done for me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Mike, what about your defensive group? It was a veteran group,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: no more. Harrison Reese home, I forgat. Who's the other
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: one that's state, Yeah, Jake. I think he's playing minor
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: league hockey now, right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: They all are?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: They all good for good? Ye, good good. But you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: have a new group now, I mean Spetsy and Thomas
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and you and you do have a couple of other
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: young guys to help out, but you also have a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: couple of transfers. I mean a six seven kid. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: mean it's appropriate. He Swedish. His name is Viking, right, yeah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And from everything I've heard from him, he's he's been
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a nice addition.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been really nice addition. I think he's certainly
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: going to help on our penalty killes long and he
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: can ice pucks, but he's got you know, he skates well,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: has good skill set. Kai Jan Verier is a freshman
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: that joined the group. He's very now he's the opposite
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: he's he's smaller and stature, but just an effortless skater
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and very good with the puck. Unfortunately, Kevin Fitzgerald's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: kid who I think would have battled for playing time.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: He blew out his knee last week, so we're gonna
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: miss him for this year. I think he's gonna season
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ending injury. And then we have Jack Pascucci and Owen
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Simpson and Bower Swift who are back this year to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: give us, you know, quite a bit of depth. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Trey Scott's another one who has joined our group and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I've been very impressed with him. He had an excellent
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: practice today.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: What about Princeton transfer Nick Carabon.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: He's been Yes, he's really solidified. You know, I think
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: that right side, I mean you always had John Spetz
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: and Jack Pascucci had some you know, but with Nick
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: coming in, he's a type of defenceman that you can
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: play in all situations. He's going to kill penalties, he's
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: going to play on a power play. You know, he's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: going He's a twenty to twenty five minute defenseman.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: To night you mention play him in on the right side.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: So when you're i mean you're retooling a massive part
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of this roster, how much are you keying in on
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: stick sidedness when you're building this out?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, ideally you'd love to have right left balance.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: It doesn't always happen that way, but you know, Andrew
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Lucas and Harrison Reese and Jake Flynn were all right shots.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: So you know, kai jan Vai is a right shot,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: but you know Nick coming in, it was nice to
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: have a experienced right shot defenseman coming in.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You got a caraban and a caravan on campus. That's right,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's right. So let's let's hope. Let's hope that Nick
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is as productive as Alex's.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: That would be that would be great.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Right. Let's talk goltending you bring in three. You have
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: two freshmen, Callum Tungue out of Moody Port Moody, British Columbia,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and then New Jersey native Thomas he and then the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: transfer from the University of New Hampshire, Tomer Music. Tell
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: us about these young men and what do you expect
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: from these guys this year.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll start with Tommy Heaney. He came in, grabbed
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: him late last year because we needed at the time,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: we only we had time Muslik and Callum Tongue, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: committed to come, but we needed a third goalie and
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: we grabbed Tommy and I've been very pleased with him.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I think he's a little bit old school. He'll stays
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: on his feet a little bit longer than most goaltenders
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: and competes really hard. So I've been you know, impressed
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: with Tommy Callum was a highly recruited kid out of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: British Columbia. You know, he was took his team to
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the finals in the playoffs last year. I think he
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: had a ninety four safe percentage in the playoffs, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I think that's important. You know, there's a lot of
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: goalies that may have great numbers during the year, but
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the playoffs come and they don't seem to perform. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Callum's numbers were good, but they were much better in
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. So that's I think something the telltale sign
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of goaltenders that you can count on. And then Tim
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Musilik was a national development goaltender and was at New
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Hampshire and you know, he got off to a great
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: start last year. He had wins over bu and Quinnipiac
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and then got a knee injury and never really recovered
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: from that knee injury, and you know, got beat out
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: at the time, and I think that was probably the
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: impetus behind him transferring. And we were fortunate enough to
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you know, be there and we needed a goaltender and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: he knew a little bit about our program. He's from
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: New Jersey and he knew our goaltending coach Vince Stilletti
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit, so it was a probably the right
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: place at the right time for us. And I think
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: he's a kid that has a lot of potential to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: be a you know, and a goaltender in Hockey East.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: How does that conversation go, because when you've got you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we talked about Carabin coming in from Princeton. He used
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: up his four years of eligibility, so there wasn't much
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Princeton was going to be able to do to take
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: him back. He was going to head off in.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: The eye, couldn't go back right, Yeah, And.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So you had that conversation with Princeton coach Ben Sire.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That's one conversation. But when it's a guy like Muslic
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: who's transferring, but within the conference, are you able to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: talk to Mike's I did.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Mike worked for me. I think the world of him,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: so I certainly wasn't going to go recruit his kid
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: without talking to him. So, you know, I discussed it
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: with him. I said, I hear he may be going
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: in the transfer portal and uh, he goes, I'll find
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: out for you, you know, and Mike, Mike and Ty
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: had a conversation, and I think it was a mutual.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You know, Ty was going into his junior year and
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: he was going to be the backup goaltender going into
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: the year, and I think he wanted the chance to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: be a starting goaltender. And it was as simple as that.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: There was nothing else to it. So but yeah, Mike
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and I had a conversation beforehand. For sure.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll take another break coming the bottom of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the hour. We'll hear from Jake richarda. Then later it
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: will be Tom macinio. And Tom, by the way, was
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: wearing his Red Sox hat today as we did the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: zoom call. But you better be well, it could be
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a brun sat could be a Patriots at.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: He is a Massachusetts kid, so he's not a fair
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Weather fan. And the baseball season still going well.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: The Red Sox are eighty one and eighty one walked in,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: But before we go to break, quick thought on jok
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a Stick, I mean you, you and I both grew up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: It was great. I loved listening to him, Ken Coleman,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Jokestig Leon, they were they were fantastic and it was
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: a great tribute to him. I thought Yeah, I love
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: what he said. He had JBJ catch it because he
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: catches everything. When he threw out the first pitch.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dwight Evans wasn't too shabby at that either.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Dwight Evans could probably still throw it from right field
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: on a on a line to the home plate.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a chance to meet him this summer.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that off the off break here.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a time out. Third segment with
• 8:58
