  Speaker 1: Back inside Bears Smokehouse Barbecue one final segment. A couple
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of minutes here with head coach Mike Cavanaugh. We do
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: have a question coming in from the audience, Okay, from Michael.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, you had a weekend against
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you Mass and you Mask Loll back to back days.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: There haven't been too many split weekends over the course
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of the year where you get two different opponents back
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to back. How do you navigate the week leading up
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to that in terms of preparation? And I mean a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you Mass and you Mass, Well they have a little
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: bit of a different style, So how do you kind
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of navigate that.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You just focus on the game Friday night. You don't
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: really worry about Saturday Night. I think the best way
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to be successful on Saturday night is to win Friday night.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: So we just really, honestly, in the when it's in league,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you know your opponents really well. It's not We had
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: already played Lowell twice. We have a very good understanding
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: of how Lowell plays, so we weren't too concerned about
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: worrying about them before we play U.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Mess And I'm not looking for a name, but coming
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: up with four games to go in the regular season,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: then Hockey East and then hopefully likely NCAA tournament. Based
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: on where things are, how do you make decisions on
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: goaltenders moving forward. That's kind of the one big decision
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: on a nightly basis that you'll have moving ahead.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It's just a game by game basis. It's not as
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: complicated as people think. We're really fortunate right now where
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we have two goaltenders playing really, really well. So that's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a great problem to have. I'm not trust me, Adam.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It does not keep me up at night wondering which
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: goaltender we're going to play.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing. It's a good place to be.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of coaches that wish they could
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: say that at this stage of the season. Tomorrow night,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock against Boston University. This is an opponent despite
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the familiarity, you haven't played them since October eighteenth. So
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: what do you expect that you know BU is going
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to be able to put forward since the last time
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you guys matched up months ago.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Well, there's not many holes in their game. I think that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, they brought in the goaltender Yegorov, and he's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: really stabilized their goaltending As of late, I believe Cole
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Hudson's probably your Hockey East rookie of the year. He's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: top five and scoring as a freshman defenseman, so he's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: certainly very dangerous and he's got complimented by a lot
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of good players on the back end and then up front.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: They just have a lot of weapons that can beat
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So it's another Hockey East game that you know, the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: talent level is probably even.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Again, it's going to be the team.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: That plays to their structure, that doesn't make the most mistakes,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: stays disciplined. It's not a game where you want to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: have four or five penalties aside. I just think that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a recipe for disaster if I think that's probably true
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: with most Hockey East teams. Don't want to be in
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: a game where you have to kill six penalties.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So discipline is going to be important for us as.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Well, Lane cole Quinn, they got any more? Are we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: done with three Hudsons.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Than we are? I don't know. I hope yeah, unless
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: they want to come to Yukon. That's right.
• 3:16
