• 0:02
  Speaker 1: for Live and Bear Smoke, Cows Barbecue and Hartford for
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: another edition of the men's Hockey Coach a show on
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this bean Pot Monday. Yes, the bean Pots underway. In fact,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: game one already underway at the Garden. It is Harvard
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and bu they're one one in the second and somebody's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: going on the power play here in just a minute.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: But coach cav is here as we're talking to you. Con
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: men's hockey off a weekend. I guess you could call
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: it a split, a shootout win the extra point and
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a three to three tie Friday night at Schneider Arena,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and then Saturday six to three game with a couple
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of empty netters late after a power play goal by
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Providence on a five minute major midway through the third
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the sides things. All in all, what's your take on
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the whole weekend? First of all, thank you for joining
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: us as always and to give me your take on
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the on the entire weekend against the Friars.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we played pretty well. I was, you know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: it's it's we took two points out of six, so
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's a winning weekend. Uh. You know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I thought Friday night, you know, both teams skated to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a tie. I wish we had uh won the game
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: in overtime. We had a lot of really good chances.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Right back played excellent. I thought, uh, he played really
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: really well. But uh, overall, you know, I wasn't particularly
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: thrilled with the the start that we had at home,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: especially with such a great crowd. Uh, and then we did,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you know, come back. There was some positives to take
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: out of our power play is really you know, clicking
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: right now, you know, the penalty, that's something that we
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: have to eradicate from our game. It's uh happened a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: little too much after the whistle confrontations, and it was
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: addressed today that that's something that's not winning hockey going
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: down the stretch. But you know, that wasn't the reason
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: why we lost the game. We can't spot team's three
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: goal leads in this league. You just can't do it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It's not a recipe for success. So I thought we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: were a little loose on our defensive zone coverage early
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in the game. I thought we got better as a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: game went on, and I thought we were playing really
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: well before that penalty, and we had a chance, actually
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: we had a two to one to zero score another
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: shorthanded goal, and we missed that and then they came
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: down and scored. But nonetheless it still you know, we
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: have a good team. I like the way we're playing.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It was just a weekend that didn't go our way.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: With regards to that penalty. On Saturday, it was Ethon
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Gardula twenty fourth game of the season for him. He's
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a freshman. First twenty three games, he doesn't commit a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: penalty of any kind, So how do you address him
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: versus the team when it's cropping up with different guys, And.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's not I said after the game. It
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't just Ethan. Yeah, we're trying to make it a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: point of emphasis that we don't get involved in scrums.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Nothing good comes out of the scrum, it really doesn't.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I want to compete between the whistles, not after the whistles. So,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: but we've had It wasn't just him. I mean, Joey
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Muldowney took a penalty up at I think it was Maine.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I think Ryan Taddle took a penalty up at Maine.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That you know, it's not unique to Ethan Gardula that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this is something that we have to, Like I said,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: we have to take it out of our game. It's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: not a winning formula taking penalties like that. So Ethan
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: knows that he's had a great year for us, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he scored a big goal for us earlier in the game,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and he's going to be a fabulous player for us.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So if we can learn from it and we don't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: take any more of those the rest of the season,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: then will be good.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Mike, did you feel providence to had a little more
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: kicking them at least early on when it came to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty puck battles in the game that led
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to that early particularly the two nothing lead and maybe
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: early second where they got that goal two minutes in.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I think the biggest issue in the game was that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: we were thirty percent on face offs, And when you're
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: constantly chasing the game, it's hard to establish and dictate
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the terms of how you want to play. So if
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you think about it this way, if there's ten face
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: offs in the neutral zone and you're losing seven of them,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that means that you have to go break the puck
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: out seven times because Usually it's D to D and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: they're going to pound it into the zone, which most
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: teams do because we're all pretty good defensively. When you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: have to go out and break pucks out seven times,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it gets tiring. It's it's hard to do. That's why
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you know you want to establish a check in a game,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: because when you have the other team on their heels,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: then the pendulum switched swings your way. And I thought
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the biggest issue in the game was that we were
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: thirty three percent. I think on face offs, Yeah, it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: hard to win that one and then we just have
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to get and we haven't been good. It's an area
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: of our game that needs to clean up because we
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: haven't been good the last three weeks on face.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Offs, Right, Hudson Chandor had been pretty good. He'd been
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the one X factor there up until this weekend where
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: he was a little under fifty percent in the two games.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Or is there a thought of okay, is there another
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: guy that maybe starts to get involved there or is
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it you know, I mean Ryan Taddle Taper, He's slip
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Hudson Chander they kind of take the bulk of it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Is there like a fourth guy that like Oh no.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: We have to get more people involved, no question about it,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna look at a lot of different options
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: for that. So we did some stuff today with face offs.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's something that you know, we're cognizant of.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: We know that. Uh, you know, we're not turning a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: blind eye to it. We know that's an area that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: we have to improve upon, and we're going to make
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: the necessary changes that we have to to get better.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're fifty percent, listen, if you can
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: be fifty five percent, that's really good, you know. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: fifty percent that's okay, you can live with that. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: thirty three that's not that's not good.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back with coach cave Well later on.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: We've got big Viking Gustavsen Nyberg and Captain Hudson Shandor
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: could have gone a half hour with him today. He
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was phenomenal. You'll hear those interviews coming up. Shortly after
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: six thirty. Bu has just taken a three to one
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: lead at the bean Pot. Shanle the chance at a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: ridiculous goal in front, and they just added another one
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: six minutes into the second period. It's day one of
• 6:50
