  Speaker 1: Welcome back to You've Got Hockey Coaches Show, Bob Joyce,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Adam Jordino, Mike Kavanaugh. Here Husky's back at it this
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: weekend when they take on fourth ranked Boston University game
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one of Agannis seven o'clock Friday night, six forty five
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on the radio. And then when you got a five
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: o'clock game on campus Saturdays.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: That's not five.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: O'clock Saturday, five o'clock correct, and then both games, well
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Friday's games on the radio, both games I believe are
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: on ESPN plus.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: That is correct. Correct?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Adam, you're the ESPN plus guy. You get
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the next question for coach cav.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: When you think about this team's you know, two and
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: two record defensively, what is the assessment after four games
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: so far?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I think defensively we've been very good. The one area
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: that I should say this in our in our d zone,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: you know, there's three ways usually teams are going to
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: score on you. They're going to score off the rush,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: They're going to score off of offensive zone play, or
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: they're going to score off the power play. Essentially, yep,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: that's where most teams are going to score. I think
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: our penalty kill has been pretty good. I think our
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: d zone coverage has been very good. We haven't had
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of teams with a lot of zone time
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: against us in the offensive zone. I don't know how
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: many goals we've given up, you know, off of offensive
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: zone play. The area that we have to continue to
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: improve upon is defending the rush. That's where a lot
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: of teams have scored on us when we look back
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: at the goals that have been, as I said, scored,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: So that's an area where we have to continue to
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: work and against bu especially, they are dynamic off the rush.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: They can really you know, if you turn a puck
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: over in your offensive zone, they get three or four
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: guys into the play immediately, and they're talented to make
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of plays. So that's an area that we're
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: going to continue to work on.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: This week, Mike referenced all the draft picks. I mean,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I put them all above my numbers on here, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot in red here. And they're young, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: there's a good chunk that come from the National Development
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: program that U eighteen team that plays in the USHL,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and a few college teams too. But boy, they're young,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they're talented. I think we'll see vote is really good.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I know that McCarthy's good on the defense, and they
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: still have a celebrity on the team. And let's not
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: forget mister Hudson.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they you know, and they have a couple of
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: transfers Owen McLoughlin and Bavore are both from North Dakota
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that add a little older experience to their team. But
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you know, they're talented. Mike Murtagg's brother, Jack Murtagg, is
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: a pretty good player. He's playing for them. I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Hudson and Bomidian on defense, along with Gavin McCarthy are
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: very good players. Igorov and Nett is a you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: big presence. And you can't forget Cole Eisaman. I mean,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: he can score from anywhere. So they have a lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: of talent, you know, and they've always been that way,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: you know, and they're going to continue to be that way.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: We're we're built a little bit differently, and you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: we're going to have to We'll play our style of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: game and they're going to play their style of game.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And I think it's going to come down to whoever
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: executes and you know, plays to their identity better will
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: be more successful.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Murtag, Mike scored his first goal right. It
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was a nice goal protecting the puck coming down the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: left side. Yeah, I thought it was really nice.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Really nice goal. And you know, he's a kid, he's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: got three points already in four games, and he was
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a kid that we had spoke about. We might have
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: talked about him the last time were on the radio
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: show that he was a player that showed a lot
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: of promise last year. He was late in the season,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: he was in and out of the lineup, but he
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: was a guy that I was very high on and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I think he's best hockey is in front of him.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Thinking back to what you had said about team scoring
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: on the rush coming the other way, is it a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: matter of when you're in the offensive zone guys are
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: getting too deep and not able to get back. Is
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it specific coverage schemes trying to get back that they're
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: not covering up enough.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's probably a combination of both. I think
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: sometimes when you turn the puck over high in your
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: offensive zone or in your neutral zone, and you have
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: guys going one way and the puck turns over, that's
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: what leads to odd man rushes the other piece is
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: sorting it out when you're coming back. Sometimes what you
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: have to avoid is duplication. So whether whoever the puck
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: is when you never want two players going to the puck,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and occasionally good teams create confusion, and whether it's because
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: they crisscross or change lanes through the neutral zone that
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: can create confusion and you get two guys on the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: puck and it leaves a guy open.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: New When you had just said, the team that plays
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: their own game the best is going to have the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: best chance to win this weekend between you and and BU. However, B,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you did just lose a couple of games last weekend
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to a really good Michigan State team. Is their value
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in seeing how Michigan State did some things and just
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: maybe plucking a thing from there that maybe otherwise wouldn't
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: have been on the radar.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I think there's always different aspects of a team's
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: game that you can bring to your arsenal of how
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you want to play. However, not I'm more focused on
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: how we play.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: You don't want to spend five days.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: We don't want to try to be Michigan State, Michigan
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: State's Michigan State. We have to be Yukon and what
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: makes us good. We know what makes us good, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: that's more what we're going to focus on this week.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: All right, speaking of what makes them good, they for
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: check the heck out of you, and two of them
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: did really well. The guys were and talk to next
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Jake Percival and Tristan Fraser enjoy it. Michael roam around
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and visit with some of his friends. And we'll be
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: back with capital later. But the player interviews, yeah that too.
