• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Thanks to Jake Percival and Tristan Fraser for joining us
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: once again. Thanks to Colin Stewart for setting it up
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: doing the dirty work. Where would you be without Colin?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Colin does a great job for you.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: I missed him this weekend. He was away at a wedding,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: so you know.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Well you missed him Saturday, right.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I missed him Saturday, so I think Sarah took
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: him away, so I got a bone to pick with
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: her later.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: No, you don't do in one record with Colin there,
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: that's good.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: One without him, so yeah, that's job security.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: What do you think of the development of your young
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: guys so far? Four games in? I like Blay by
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're doing a I think they're doing
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a nice job. I think you know, Alexander and Carlin
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: up front have done a nice job playing with Kayden Shahan.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: They were actually started them on Saturday because I thought
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: they were one of our best lines on Friday night.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And then you know, Anthony is doing a really nice
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: job on defense, and Brendan Dunfie since he's come in
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: he's really stable back there. He's an excellent penalty killer.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And as we said, we talked about Cam earlier. And
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: they also have Joey o'dooniac who hasn't seen the ice yet,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: but he's a promising player. He's going to be out
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: for a little while. He got mono, so he's going
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: to be out for a little while. But hopefully when
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: he gets back we'll be able to integrate him into
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the lineup as well.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Second year guy, but first year on the ice. Getting Fitzgerald,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: now that we've seen four games out of him, what
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: does he do well.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: He's got great feet, his gaps are very good. He
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: knows when to jump into the play. He's been a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: great addition to our defense. He just really I think
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: he's getting better and better as each game goes on. Understated,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: he's one of those defensemen that they have an all saying,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: if you don't notice the defenseman, he's probably playing pretty well.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of that to his game.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Man and actually jumped into the play too, got a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: goal on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Front dead they did. He does that. He's sneaky, he
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: knows when to jump into the play. He does a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: great job with that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Do you have something well in terms of uh, Tom Missinio,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's gonna be hard to replace the shot
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: blocking of a John Spett. There's a lot of elements
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: of John's game that's going to be tough. Is Missineo's
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: gotten credit for a lot of block shots so far?
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Is that one of the guys that can take the mantle?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Well? I think, you know, with he and Viking back
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: there there, you know, we can play Mess with somebody
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and Viking with someone else. Viking and Kai have played
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: fantastic together early on, and I think Mess was playing
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: with I think he was playing with Brendan on Saturday
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and they gave us great performance. He's just a very
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: trusted defense. He skates extremely well, he defends really well.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Mess is another kid that can provide some offense. He's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: scored a great goal out of Colorado College. So he's
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a veteran that has been in a lot of wars,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and he's a guy that you want on your side.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: There's no question about that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Back to Crown for a minute, was he as successful
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: in the face off that as he was in Colorado
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: this past weekend?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: No, but you know it was I think that was
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a problem with our team this weekend, all our centers,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: we weren't very strong on face offs. That's an area
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: where we have to work on this week and certainly
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: get better at against Boston University, because if you're losing
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: fifty five to sixty percent of your face offs, you're
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: going to be chasing the game against BU and that's
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: not a great recipe for success.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: When Brendan Dunfied and Tray Scott were out their respective games,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: we made and that it was Houston Cartman that stepped in.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's been a long path for him
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: to get there where he's that kind of first guy up.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: So what has developed in his game over the years.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: He's been the same player. He's just a heart and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: soul guy. Whenever you call his number, he gives you
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: max effort. He you know, early on his career, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: was concerned about his positioning. I'm no longer ever concerned
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: about that. He knows where to be on the ice
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and he knows how we want to play. So it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a great luxury for us to have a guy like
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Houston who you can plug, plug and play at any time.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Mike, you mentioned Hockey East being so loaded.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, a good Colorado college team, ranked Ohio State
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: team and now ranked BU team. You're going to find
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: out real quick how good this team is, obviously, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you want that because in you, as you said it,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: every week to grind in Hockey East.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to compete the trophies at the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: end of the year, you've got to play against great
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: competition all throughout and before. We're very fortunate that we're
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in our fantastic league where we're tested every weekend. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: there'll be another great battle weekend against the Terriers Friday
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: night up there and Saturday at five at Tuscano. Looking
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: forward to it all.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, look forward to seeing me Friday.
