  Speaker 2: It's November. Everything's going on.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Here with Mike Kavanaugh and you were talking about part
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of the reason why you mixed up lines a little
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: bit because of the first line with Kayden Shahan and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Hudson Shandor at that time it was Ethan Garddulah maybe
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a little stagnant. What of what you seen from Hudson
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: this year. I know he was batting a respiratory issue
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: early in the season, but now that he's one hundred percent,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: what have you seen in his play? Because I mean,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: he's looking to create, but I don't know, is he
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: shooting the puck enough.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Or does he have to?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think he's I think Hudson's best hockey's
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: going to be in front of him. You know, he
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: was battling a little nagging injury early, which he's over.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I think now. He was battling that respiratory. He had
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: two freshmen, you know, linemates. Yeah, so, and and he's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: commanding the locker room as well. It's a lot. Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and you know, we're probably gonna I always meet with
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the captains every week. We'll meet this week, and I
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: just want him to relax and play right now. I
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: hope he's not that type of kid that puts the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: pressure on himself to to score. I'm sure that he
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: feels that as a fifty year kid, he wants to
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: be creating more offense, and we do as well. We'd
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: like him to create more offense as well, but it
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: will come. He's just a very good two hundred foot
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: hockey player that I can you know, our staff can
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: rely on, and so many any different situations that he's
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: invaluable to our club.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: When you say you want Hudson to relax and play,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: who is somebody right now that you feel is relaxing,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: is out there just seeing the ice well and just
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: playing free.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I think Ryan Taddle and Tristan Frasier have been pretty
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: consistent all year long. I think Joey Muldowney has been
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: playing really confident, you know, playing with a lot of
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: energy and confidence throughout the season. So you know, you
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: need a lot of players doing that. But it's a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: long season and there's ups and downs, and as I
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: said earlier, it's you have to have that. We had
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: are Yo get instruck to Carol Pantsia.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: She how is Carol?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: She's great, She's great. Her her term was a more
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: fatigue the love of fate. So whatever happens, you have
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to embrace it and move on. And I thought yesterday
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: was a shining example of that. Yesterday where so many
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: things were thrown at us and where it's like, well,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: this is what's happening. Let's we can't we can't change
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: what's happened.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Let's figure it out, figure it out and move on.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And I thought that was Yesterday's was a game was
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: a prime example of that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Mike you mentioned we were talking about the four to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: four goal and that came off a face off when
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Joel Model won the face off and the goal ensued,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and that was right off a face off. How do
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you determine who's in the face off that for you?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Is that predetermined or.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Well, most of the time it's it's the center of
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that line, and we at times will play a positionless
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: defensive zone. It doesn't really matter. We don't play the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: center has to always be down low. It can be interchangeable.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: The center is just usually our best face off man.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: And what I I like to try to do is
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: get two guys on each line, a lefty and a
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: righty who can both take face offs. Because when you
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: can do that, we have found that usually when you're
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: taking draws to your backhand, you have a better chance
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of winning the draw. So if it's on our left dot,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I would like a lefty taking it. If it's on
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: our right dot, I'd like a righty taken it. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: then there's certain situations where Taber he slip may match
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: up better against this guy than you know, Hudson chandor might,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: so I try to keep tabor against this guy. So there,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: you know, we do a lot of work looking at
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: our opponents and studying their tendencies and we put a
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: lot of time and energy into trying to create the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: matchup we think is going to be most advantageous for us.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you even had John Spetz take a couple
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of draws late too.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Well, he's pretty good at it. And when there's a
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: reason why we do that, sometimes it's because we're already
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: set up in a defensive zone coverage, or sometimes we're
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: trying to catch the other team by surprise, and he's
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: actually pretty good at it. As a defenseman. If you
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: have a defenseman that can take a draw, it's very
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: beneficial for you defensively because he's on their center already
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: immediately and it allows your wingers to get out a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: little quicker.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, go ahead, one more
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: four break.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Tray Scott, freshman defenseman, didn't play the first three games
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of the season and now has played the last six.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Was there something that kept him out of the lineup,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: because it seems like since he's gotten into the lineup
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: he hasn't let go of the opportunity.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: No, he's done a great job. Yeah, he's earned his
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: ice time and he's earning more and more ice time.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And I think you know, my philosophy is always I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: try to give the veterans and older guys, you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: a first look. But if someone's playing better, then they're
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: they're gonna play. And he's he's doing a fantastic job
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: for us, and both he and Kai bring a off
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: defensive dynamic to our team that we really haven't had
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of in the last five or six years.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Plugging in an Andrew Lucas type gap in a little.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: A little bit. Yeah, they're both very offensive minded players
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: that are comfortable with the puck on their stick. They
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: don't like throwing the puck away. So it's nice to
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: have those type of defensemen.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good problem to have. All Right, we're
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: gonna let you take a little bit of a break time.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Muslik and Ethan Gardula interviews that I recorded earlier today
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and they're coming up next. We'll start with the goalie
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: as we're live at Bear Smoke House Barbecue. This is
