Speaker 1: All right, coach, coming off a weekend split versus U
0:03
Speaker 1: mess Lowell coming up, we got two home games into
0:06
Speaker 1: scanovers ver Man. Just want to get your thoughts ahead
0:08
Speaker 1: of the weekend series and Hockey East play.
0:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we're going to be competing against you know,
0:17
Speaker 2: pretty red hot Vermont team, you know, just looking at him.
0:23
Speaker 2: They've won three in a row. They had a great
0:25
Speaker 2: sweep against Northeastern at home, and they're also a very
0:29
Speaker 2: good road team. You know, they've beat Saint Cloud, they've
0:32
Speaker 2: beat you n H, They've beat Maine, and they've beat
0:34
Speaker 2: BU on the road. So I think that they're certainly
0:40
Speaker 2: well coached. Steve's done a nice job. They've got, you know,
0:45
Speaker 2: some talented players up front, and you know, Richards is
0:51
Speaker 2: one of the hotter players in the conference. I think
0:53
Speaker 2: he has four goals in his last three games. And
0:56
Speaker 2: Tornquist is a very talented defenseman, and Kessler as an
1:00
Speaker 2: outstanding playmaker. So we've got to prepare for a really
1:06
Speaker 2: good Vermont team coming in here this weekend.
1:13
Speaker 1: All right, we'll open up for questions.
1:15
Speaker 3: Joe d go ahead, Thanks Colin, Good morning, coach, how
1:18
Speaker 3: are you?
1:19
Speaker 4: I'm good? Joey yourself I'm good. Thanks good.
1:22
Speaker 3: The response was obviously terrific on Saturday, especially, I would
1:26
Speaker 3: think considering that you fell behind so early, guys didn't
1:29
Speaker 3: start thinking here we go again, and they bounced back
1:32
Speaker 3: and played really well, especially defensively.
1:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's been our m all year.
1:39
Speaker 2: We've fallen behind and you know, a few games and
1:43
Speaker 2: we've been able to come back in those games. So
1:47
Speaker 2: we've got a pretty experienced veteran group that I think
1:53
Speaker 2: can handle those types of things. Like we understand that
1:56
Speaker 2: it's a sixty minute game, and we've been on the
2:00
Speaker 2: other side of it too, where we've got up in
2:02
Speaker 2: a game and we've blown leads. So in this league,
2:05
Speaker 2: we understand you have to play sixty minutes or you
2:11
Speaker 2: know you're not going to be successful.
2:13
Speaker 3: You're obviously a fast team, but for months pretty fast
2:17
Speaker 3: as well. They skated really well against Northeastern. What do
2:20
Speaker 3: you have to do to combat their speed?
2:23
Speaker 2: Ah, well, A lot of that. You know, A lot
2:26
Speaker 2: of speed is generated off of either neutral zone turnovers
2:32
Speaker 2: or turnovers at the offensive blue line. When you do that,
2:37
Speaker 2: you give the other team a lot of times a
2:40
Speaker 2: chance for an odd man rush, which is never a
2:45
Speaker 2: great recipe for success. So I think we're gonna have
2:48
Speaker 2: to manage the puck really well, make them go two
2:51
Speaker 2: hundred feet, you know, and that's one way to combat speed.
2:58
Speaker 4: Thanks, sure, Randy, go ahead.
3:02
Speaker 5: Thank you.
3:03
Speaker 4: Good morning, kath How you doing this morning, Randy, I'm good. Thanks.
3:07
Speaker 6: In that Saturday night game, it seemed that you were
3:11
Speaker 6: able to sort of flip the script on what U
3:13
Speaker 6: Maslow has done and play to your strengths with team speed,
3:17
Speaker 6: Like over the course of the weekend, when in Hockey
3:21
Speaker 6: East teams are trying to establish their identity versus your identity,
3:26
Speaker 6: how does that change occur as far as trusting your
3:30
Speaker 6: process and trusting your abilities.
3:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, we never try to adapt to someone else's identity
3:37
Speaker 2: like we try to play to ours and make them
3:40
Speaker 2: adapt to us. So I think when we go into
3:44
Speaker 2: a game, you know, Vermont plays a little differently than Lowell, does.
3:49
Speaker 4: You know?
3:49
Speaker 2: And then next week I'm sure Yale will play a
3:51
Speaker 2: little differently than Vermont. So but the one constant can
3:55
Speaker 2: be us and we have to really make sure that
3:59
Speaker 2: we're playing to our identity, and I don't think we
4:02
Speaker 2: did for the first forty minutes of the game Friday night.
4:06
Speaker 2: But we did for a good portion of the game
4:09
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. I thought we were able to get
4:12
Speaker 2: back to playing the style of hockey that we want
4:15
Speaker 2: to play.
4:16
Speaker 6: Cam gave you a huge lift and he was tremendous
4:19
Speaker 6: on Saturday. What is getting that first win for him
4:24
Speaker 6: to contribute to the team do as well as you know,
4:26
Speaker 6: perhaps spelling Tyler a little relief with a heavy schedule
4:30
Speaker 6: moving forward.
4:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was huge for us.
4:33
Speaker 2: You know, Tyler has been playing a lot of hockey
4:36
Speaker 2: and he's been obviously fantastic for us. But Cam was
4:41
Speaker 2: able to step in in that spot, and I know
4:44
Speaker 2: it was wearing on him a little bit that you know,
4:47
Speaker 2: in his previous two starts he didn't get a win,
4:50
Speaker 2: and I know that was really big for him, especially
4:52
Speaker 2: his confidence and mentally to get that win on Saturday night.
4:59
Speaker 6: And finally for me, I know it was a couple
5:02
Speaker 6: of empty net goals at the end Saturday, but some
5:04
Speaker 6: production again from Shaehand and Joey Pop too. You know,
5:09
Speaker 6: for Joey to get a couple there and Shaehand to
5:12
Speaker 6: keep it going. You know, what does that do to
5:15
Speaker 6: have a productive night Saturday going into.
5:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know they're both good players and
5:21
Speaker 2: they're going to score for us, so it was nice
5:25
Speaker 2: to see them both get a couple of goals. But
5:28
Speaker 2: I think I'm not really worried about that. I think
5:31
Speaker 2: they can help us win in so many different areas.
5:33
Speaker 2: It's not just how many goals they score.
5:36
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, thanks, it's good for me, Thank you, coach.
5:41
Speaker 2: Sure, go ahead, Dan, Good morning, coach.
5:45
Speaker 4: I hope all as well. All is well, Dan, I
5:48
Speaker 4: hope the same with you.
5:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I guess I'll start with this.
5:53
Speaker 4: I know that.
5:56
Speaker 7: There's been a solid corps of guys that have been
5:58
Speaker 7: with you for a while now. How valuable is the
6:00
Speaker 7: experience and the chemistry that they've built together over the
6:03
Speaker 7: years to you during this time of the year where
6:06
Speaker 7: conference plays heating up and you're trying to hit that stride,
6:09
Speaker 7: finish up conference play well, and be where you want
6:11
Speaker 7: to be when the postseason starts.
6:13
Speaker 4: I think it's huge.
6:14
Speaker 2: You know, I've alluded to it many times this year
6:16
Speaker 2: that we're really fortunate to have seven seniors that you know,
6:23
Speaker 2: have played a lot of hockey for us. They know
6:26
Speaker 2: exactly what our expectations are here, they know exactly how
6:29
Speaker 2: we want to play, and it's rare. I think that
6:33
Speaker 2: you're going to see many teams with seven seniors going forward.
6:37
Speaker 2: It's just the landscape of college hockey, between the transfer
6:41
Speaker 2: portal and kids leaving early to go pro. It's just
6:45
Speaker 2: it's rare that you're going to see that. So we're
6:48
Speaker 2: really fortunate we're not taking it for granted. And it
6:50
Speaker 2: certainly makes a coach's job easier when you have that
6:53
Speaker 2: type of leadership, you know, pulling the sled.
7:00
Speaker 7: And knowing how the landscape and college sports in general
7:03
Speaker 7: has been all over the place in recent years, how
7:05
Speaker 7: important is it for you to set the standard and also,
7:11
Speaker 7: you know, have that level of success that you guys
7:13
Speaker 7: have had to making u kon a place where you
7:17
Speaker 7: want it to be welcoming to those guys, to make
7:19
Speaker 7: it so that they want to be able to stay,
7:22
Speaker 7: or that other guys from the outside might want to
7:24
Speaker 7: come in knowing the level of success that you've had.
7:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really important. I think that the
7:31
Speaker 2: one thing the transfer portal does, you know, I don't
7:35
Speaker 2: know if the direct consequence of it, but it forces you,
7:42
Speaker 2: you know, to run a program that kids want to
7:44
Speaker 2: be a part of. I think it holds coaches accountable
7:48
Speaker 2: in some ways that you know, you got to run
7:51
Speaker 2: a program that kids feel that they're developing, they feel
7:54
Speaker 2: that they're growing as humans and also getting better as
7:58
Speaker 2: hockey players. And when you can do that, you can
8:03
Speaker 2: keep players. You know, because I'm not as cynical as
8:09
Speaker 2: many many people, and I don't believe, especially college hockey
8:14
Speaker 2: players are in.
8:14
Speaker 4: It all for just the money.
8:16
Speaker 2: I believe that, you know, they just inherently want to
8:20
Speaker 2: be at a place where they feel valued, where they
8:24
Speaker 2: feel they're getting better and they're growing as people.
8:29
Speaker 7: And then final thing for me coach, big picture wise,
8:33
Speaker 7: knowing how well both Yukon hockey teams have been playing
8:36
Speaker 7: over the last few years now and list goes on
8:39
Speaker 7: of what you guys have been able to build there
8:41
Speaker 7: from any hockey perspective for the men and the women.
8:44
Speaker 7: How valuable is that because a lot of programs and
8:47
Speaker 7: a lot of schools around the country don't have that
8:49
Speaker 7: where both teams are ranked as highly as they are
8:52
Speaker 7: and are as competitive as they are both at the
8:54
Speaker 7: same time.
8:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I just think, and I've said it many
8:58
Speaker 2: times here, that's the culture of Yukon athletics. It's not
9:01
Speaker 2: just unique to the hockey teams. Basketball teams are pretty
9:06
Speaker 2: good too, and our baseball team's pretty good, and our
9:10
Speaker 2: track and field is good. You know, there's a lot
9:12
Speaker 2: of sports here. Field, Hockey's won a lot of national championships.
9:16
Speaker 2: Soccers are very good. So I just think it speaks
9:21
Speaker 2: to the you know, the culture of Yukon athletics, not
9:25
Speaker 2: just hockey programs.
9:29
Speaker 7: Awesome coach, Thank you, Sure, Natalie, go ahead, thank.
9:34
Speaker 5: You, coach. Good to see you again. It's gonna see
9:36
Speaker 5: you Natalie hoopeball as well. But yes, I just wanted
9:40
Speaker 5: to ask a follow up about Shahan. I know you've
9:43
Speaker 5: probably spoken about him quite a bit recently, but I
9:46
Speaker 5: haven't been back to Yukon. So is there just an
9:49
Speaker 5: over I don't know, maybe a quality of his that
9:52
Speaker 5: might be overlooked at this point, or something about his
9:54
Speaker 5: game that you think people should recognize more than maybe
9:57
Speaker 5: don't have the coaching or the hockey eye that you do.
10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, it reminds me a lot
10:03
Speaker 2: of Joey Muldowney's breakout season last year. Joey had a
10:08
Speaker 2: really good freshman year. He didn't put up the numbers
10:10
Speaker 2: that he obviously he did last year, but you could
10:14
Speaker 2: see towards the end of his freshman year that he
10:16
Speaker 2: was going to be a player and it was only
10:18
Speaker 2: a matter of time before he was going to score.
10:20
Speaker 2: I feel the same way about Caden. He was at
10:24
Speaker 2: times last year he was really dynamic, and I think
10:28
Speaker 2: what you're seeing this year is, you know, he's from Seattle, Washington,
10:32
Speaker 2: it's a long way from home. I think he's finally
10:34
Speaker 2: feeling comfortable here on campus. He's acclimated to the academic
10:39
Speaker 2: curriculum and he understands, you know, the style of play
10:42
Speaker 2: we want to play, and the way he skates and
10:45
Speaker 2: how physical he is. He fits our style to a
10:48
Speaker 2: t Now you're seeing his talent and his skill take
10:52
Speaker 2: over too. Both those goals he scored the other night,
10:55
Speaker 2: I mean he ripped those shots. I mean those were
10:58
Speaker 2: goals in any league. So I'm hoping to you know,
11:03
Speaker 2: that he can continue on this trend and continue to
11:07
Speaker 2: score at you know, a clip that I think he's
11:11
Speaker 2: capable of. But also he affects a game now in
11:15
Speaker 2: so many different areas. He's a tenacious four checker. He's
11:18
Speaker 2: really coming on as a penalty killer, and as I said,
11:22
Speaker 2: He's always been, you know, a power play guy, but
11:26
Speaker 2: now he's you're seeing.
11:27
Speaker 4: Him score as well.
11:28
Speaker 2: So he's an all around player, two hundred foot player,
11:31
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to continue to watch his growth.
11:35
Speaker 5: Do you feel that he also can impact a game
11:38
Speaker 5: just with his bench presence? It feels like he's one
11:41
Speaker 5: of the guys that you know, he'll talk a lot
11:43
Speaker 5: on the bench or maybe kind of like get the
11:44
Speaker 5: team going a little bit. Does he also kind of
11:46
Speaker 5: have that type of personality to impact a game?
11:49
Speaker 2: He does, and I think it's coming out more and more.
11:53
Speaker 2: I don't think that was necessarily the case last year. However,
11:57
Speaker 2: he is getting more comfortable being vold, There's no question
12:01
Speaker 2: about that. And uh, you know again, that's another area.
12:05
Speaker 2: I think as you see players mature in college that
12:08
Speaker 2: they get more comfortable vocalizing how they think the team
12:13
Speaker 2: should be playing or whether it's just you know, trying
12:17
Speaker 2: to boost some players up, encouraging different teammates, or putting
12:22
Speaker 2: an arm around him sometimes when things don't go well.
12:25
Speaker 2: I think he is starting to develop.
12:26
Speaker 4: That as well.
12:27
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, thank you very much.
12:29
Speaker 8: Sure, Jordan, go ahead, Thank you, Colin coach, Thank you
12:36
Speaker 8: for the time appreciate it.
12:37
Speaker 4: I hope you're having a good day. I'm a great day.
12:39
Speaker 4: I hope you are too. Thank you, Thank you.
12:42
Speaker 8: Something we talked about with Vermont head coach yesterday is
12:45
Speaker 8: their ability to take advantage on odd man rushes coming
12:48
Speaker 8: out of their own zone. Is that something that you
12:51
Speaker 8: and your coaching staff have kept an eye out for
12:53
Speaker 8: with Vermont going to this game? And how do you
12:55
Speaker 8: plan on approaching defensively to deal with a team that
12:58
Speaker 8: is opportunistic go off the rush.
13:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're very good off the rush.
13:03
Speaker 2: Well, it's an area, like I talked about earlier, how
13:07
Speaker 2: do you combat their speed? One area is we have
13:10
Speaker 2: to manage the puck well. We cannot turn pucks over
13:13
Speaker 2: and give them you know, odd man rushes where there's
13:18
Speaker 2: three or four players into the you know, and in
13:20
Speaker 2: the play and we get caught. So first and foremost,
13:23
Speaker 2: I think it's managing the puck well. Also a lot
13:27
Speaker 2: of times we've got to be able to offensively, you know,
13:34
Speaker 2: when the puck goes low to high and we're getting
13:36
Speaker 2: it to our defenseman. They do a pretty good job
13:39
Speaker 2: of blocking shots. We've got to make sure that the
13:41
Speaker 2: pucks get down on the goal line, because if pucks
13:44
Speaker 2: gets that's another area when pucks get blocked by that
13:47
Speaker 2: first layer, that allows them to get other players into
13:50
Speaker 2: the rush. So those will be a couple of areas
13:52
Speaker 2: where we'll try to mitigate those situations.
13:55
Speaker 8: And then just to continue on that point, shots from
13:59
Speaker 8: the blue line. Would you see your group maybe this
14:01
Speaker 8: weekend if the SHOT's even not there, just getting the
14:04
Speaker 8: puck off the end boards, just to get that punk
14:06
Speaker 8: through to avoid that first shot being blocked.
14:09
Speaker 4: No question.
14:10
Speaker 2: I mean that's an emphasis every week. We really try
14:13
Speaker 2: to and it's something that Tyler Helton works on with
14:16
Speaker 2: our defenseman all the time of making sure that the puck,
14:20
Speaker 2: Like if you have a lane to the net, great
14:23
Speaker 2: rip it. But sometimes you don't even have to shoot
14:25
Speaker 2: it on net. Maybe you shoot for a stick. But
14:28
Speaker 2: the one thing is you cannot pound pucks into shin pads.
14:32
Speaker 4: That's just.
14:35
Speaker 2: Never really usually ends well for you when that happens.
14:39
Speaker 4: Thank coach, Just those two quick right off the top,
14:41
Speaker 4: thank you. Yep, anything else.
14:45
Speaker 9: For coach guys, Yeah, let me jump in as well.
14:48
Speaker 9: Hey coach, this is this is Kevin Gale. Look forward
14:51
Speaker 9: to seeing you guys this weekend. Just want to ask
14:54
Speaker 9: you about a couple of individual players. You were talking
14:56
Speaker 9: about some guys maturing over time as they get their experience.
15:00
Speaker 9: Have you seen Tyler grow into his role since making
15:03
Speaker 9: the jump from U n H. I mean, his numbers
15:05
Speaker 9: have been outstanding, but what have you seen that is
15:07
Speaker 9: that has taking him up to this level?
15:09
Speaker 4: Well, I just think he's put in a lot of
15:11
Speaker 4: time and work on his game.
15:15
Speaker 2: I think the one area of his game that's really
15:17
Speaker 2: improved is controlling rebounds and being very efficient in his movements.
15:23
Speaker 2: I don't you don't see him, you know, scrambling all
15:26
Speaker 2: over the net, you know, trying to make acrobatics saves.
15:30
Speaker 2: He's technically pretty sound and he's done a lot of work.
15:34
Speaker 2: Last year he worked a lot with Vince Stiletti on that,
15:37
Speaker 2: and then this year with Alex Westland. I think he's
15:39
Speaker 2: even taken his game to another level.
15:43
Speaker 9: When you look at the offensive production for your team
15:46
Speaker 9: this year, what do you think is the key in
15:49
Speaker 9: terms of structuring? We talked a little bit about the speed,
15:52
Speaker 9: but when did you have an idea that this group
15:55
Speaker 9: could be so offensively explosive?
15:58
Speaker 4: Uh?
16:01
Speaker 2: I did more than being offensively explosive, I guess I
16:05
Speaker 2: was more surprised at how balanced our scoring would be.
16:09
Speaker 2: You can look at every one of our lines. I
16:12
Speaker 2: believe they all have double over double digits and goals
16:15
Speaker 2: and when you look at the guys on our lines,
16:18
Speaker 2: so we have a lot of balance scoring on our team,
16:23
Speaker 2: which is it's fun to coach a team like that,
16:28
Speaker 2: especially when you go on the road where you don't
16:30
Speaker 2: you have you know, you don't have the last change,
16:33
Speaker 2: so you're not really worried about matchups because I have
16:37
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in all four lines that we
16:40
Speaker 2: play that not only can they defend against another team's
16:44
Speaker 2: top line, but they can also exploit them offensively. So
16:49
Speaker 2: that's probably the more important to me than you know,
16:55
Speaker 2: having maybe one explosive line or two lines that can score.
16:59
Speaker 2: It's that we have four pretty balanced lines that can
17:02
Speaker 2: hurt you if you're not going to play well defensively.
17:06
Speaker 9: And who do you feel like has has really set
17:08
Speaker 9: a tone for you defensively? You know, who are the
17:12
Speaker 9: guys that you can really rely on along that blue line.
17:16
Speaker 4: I'm a blue line. You know.
17:17
Speaker 2: It starts with Viking. I think he's you know, he's
17:22
Speaker 2: got to be in the conversation for the best defensive
17:26
Speaker 2: defenseman in the league, There's no question about it. But
17:30
Speaker 2: you know, we're getting great contributions also from Thomas Sineo.
17:33
Speaker 2: He's a great shutdown defenseman. Kai Jian Veriah has taken
17:37
Speaker 2: a great, really big jump defensively, He's been out there
17:41
Speaker 2: quite a bit. Brendan Dunfie's come in done a nice job.
17:44
Speaker 2: And then you know Anthony Elaine Samaki and you know
17:48
Speaker 2: Tray Scott is certainly his calling card is probably offense,
17:52
Speaker 2: but he's improved his defense. And Anthony's a kid. He's
17:56
Speaker 2: he's the youngest kid on our team, and you know
17:59
Speaker 2: he he's a kid that has the potential to play,
18:02
Speaker 2: you know, in the NHL in a couple of years
18:04
Speaker 2: for sure.
18:06
Speaker 4: Awesome.
18:06
Speaker 9: Just a couple more for me, coach, I wanted to
18:08
Speaker 9: ask you about your special teams and Tabor heat slip.
18:12
Speaker 9: It seems like he's one of the best penalty killers
18:15
Speaker 9: and sort of a grinder guy. What have you seen
18:19
Speaker 9: from his game this season and how's he delivering on
18:21
Speaker 9: that unit for you?
18:24
Speaker 4: He's been invaluable.
18:25
Speaker 5: He is.
18:25
Speaker 2: He and Jake Percival are the first two over the
18:27
Speaker 2: boards when it comes to a penalty kill, He's good
18:31
Speaker 2: on face offs, Tabor, He's the heart and soul of
18:33
Speaker 2: the team.
18:34
Speaker 4: There's no question about it. Nice you talk.
18:36
Speaker 2: About someone who's vocal, like he doesn't stop, whether it's
18:40
Speaker 2: in practice or in a game. He's continually you know,
18:45
Speaker 2: has a voice on this team.
18:50
Speaker 9: What has to be key for your Special Teams units
18:53
Speaker 9: going into this weekend? I wanted to ask you about specifically,
18:57
Speaker 9: you know, how to maximize power play opportunities and how
19:00
Speaker 9: you guys have tinkered with those two units to try
19:02
Speaker 9: and maximize it.
19:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the key one is make sure we're
19:08
Speaker 2: not taking too many penalties. I think it's really hard
19:13
Speaker 2: to be successful on special teams if you have to
19:16
Speaker 2: kill six penalties in a game, you know, five or
19:19
Speaker 2: six penalties in a game. I just think you're asking
19:22
Speaker 2: for trouble if that's the case. And on top of it,
19:25
Speaker 2: you know, we have some penalty killers that are also
19:27
Speaker 2: on the power play. So you know, if Special teams
19:31
Speaker 2: are six penalties, you know you have to kill six
19:33
Speaker 2: and then you go on the power play for six,
19:36
Speaker 2: guys get tired and you know that that becomes a problem.
19:41
Speaker 2: So I'd like to limit you know, Special Team opportunities.
19:46
Speaker 2: If we can keep our penalty kill at two or three,
19:50
Speaker 2: that's ideal for us. And you know, on the power play,
19:55
Speaker 2: I think it's more just about playing with pace. We
19:59
Speaker 2: have to deliver pucks to the net. Get pucks to
20:02
Speaker 2: the net. The one thing that the penalty kill can't
20:06
Speaker 2: really set.
20:07
Speaker 4: Up for is rebounds.
20:10
Speaker 2: You know, you have a lot of when a puck
20:12
Speaker 2: whether you're in a one three one, whether you're in
20:14
Speaker 2: an overload, whether you're in a two three, they they
20:20
Speaker 2: know how to line up and adjust and h scheme
20:26
Speaker 2: to defend that. But when a puck gets delivered to
20:30
Speaker 2: the net and there's a rebound, that's when the penalty
20:33
Speaker 2: kill can get out of whack or out of sorts,
20:35
Speaker 2: and that's when you can take advantage of them. So
20:38
Speaker 2: we've got to get more pucks to the net, there's
20:39
Speaker 2: no question about that.
20:42
Speaker 9: Great And then just lastly to wrap it up, if
20:44
Speaker 9: you had to set three keys to maximize the weekend
20:46
Speaker 9: against UVM, what are the three things your team has
20:49
Speaker 9: to do.
20:50
Speaker 2: I think we have to, uh for sure, limit odd
20:55
Speaker 2: man rushes. You know, you know, we want to keep
21:00
Speaker 2: the odd man rushes to three or fewer in a game.
21:02
Speaker 2: That would be one thing. I think we've got to
21:06
Speaker 2: get a lot of pucks to the net. Offensive zone
21:10
Speaker 2: time is one thing, but you know, possession without getting
21:14
Speaker 2: penetration towards the net and pucks to the net is useless.
21:19
Speaker 2: So we've got to make sure we're getting pucks to
21:21
Speaker 2: the net, and we're certainly gonna have to stay disciplined
21:23
Speaker 2: and stay out.
21:23
Speaker 4: Of the box.
21:25
Speaker 9: Awesome, Thank you, coach, appreciate it.
21:30
Speaker 1: Awesome everyone, thanks for joining Coach, Thank you, good luck
21:33
Speaker 1: this weekend.
21:33
Speaker 4: Right, you guys have a great day. Thanks Cat.
21:36
Speaker 7: Take care
