• 0:10
  My Cavanough, Bob Joyce. Here, Adam Jardino prepping for his grad exam
• 0:15
  tomorrow. He wants to get into grad school. Good luck to Adam.
• 0:18
  I'm sure he'll make that happen. Well, you know, he's a big
• 0:21
  TV star now on the House Hunters. He was He and his wife are
• 0:24
  on House Hunters Thursday night. Did it air? Yeah? Air Thursday night?
• 0:28
  Yeah, well I have to go look for it on h Yeah.
• 0:31
  HG TV. Was a great, good, good show. As Adam so
• 0:34
  aptly put it, they made what Meg his wife the villain. Really Adam
• 0:38
  came out smelling like a rose. But it was good. It was good.
• 0:41
  It was entertaining, not surprising, a very entertaining show. Yeah,
• 0:44
  Adam looked like Adam was. Adam was prepared and they had a nice house
• 0:48
  and meg Mo's lawn. She's got a cool lawn tractor and she loves going
• 0:52
  on the on the lawn track. Do you know your own lawn? I
• 0:56
  don't know. Meg won't let him mow the lawn. Oh, it's not
• 0:59
  that Adam doesn't want to. Meg. We don't let him, not anymore.
• 1:03
  I used to anymore. That's what we have a teenage son for,
• 1:06
  right, exactly? All right? Well, driving home with your sid Colin
• 1:11
  Stewart on Friday night after a frustrating loss to Union where you did everything but
• 1:17
  score, the hope was, hey, let's get a win Saturday. Thirty
• 1:21
  shots on goal in the first period, nothing to show for it, and
• 1:23
  then the damn finally broke and it came in a big way, five nothing
• 1:27
  win. And I know you made some line changes, but good grief.
• 1:32
  I mean, I can't even imagine what the reaction to the players was in
• 1:34
  the locker room, even after the first period you put all those shots on
• 1:38
  goal and it's still scoreless. Yeah, it was. You almost had to
• 1:42
  just laugh. It was crazy how well we played in that first period,
• 1:46
  and if you want to bring it back, essentially the previous six periods before
• 1:52
  that period we had played pretty well. Yeah, the night before with the
• 1:56
  game that you did Friday night, I think it was eighteen to five,
• 1:59
  and the period we outshot him and I thought we were gonna you know,
• 2:02
  we Harrison tied the game up there at one, and God the kid made
• 2:07
  an incredible save on Chase Bradley on the back door Friday night. If that
• 2:12
  had gone in, I think, you know, it might have been a
• 2:14
  little bit different. But that's a game of hockey. I remember Jack Parker
• 2:19
  a long time ago saying, I'm not sure if it's appropriately named hockey,
• 2:23
  it maybe should be called goalie. And some nights you feel that way,
• 2:27
  you know. But I think we were pretty determined on Saturday that we were
• 2:31
  going to play a no doubter, no matter how good the goalie was,
• 2:36
  no matter what they threw at us, we were going to play so well
• 2:38
  that we were going to find a way to win. Was it a sense
• 2:42
  Friday night after the game of the guys, Yeah, I mean you talked
• 2:44
  about it being laughable at times playing so well, but was at the point
• 2:47
  where they're just ticked off and said, let's got to put the hammer down.
• 2:52
  It's hard because you don't want to squeeze the sticks. You don't want
• 2:54
  to put pressure on yourself, you know, you know, in a golf
• 2:59
  and allergy. It would be like having sixteen birdie putts, you know,
• 3:02
  and not making any of them. You'd be I'm not familiar with that.
• 3:07
  Yeah, I know, neither am I. But that's how it is.
• 3:08
  Like you're playing really well, you're just not scoring, and as frustrating as
• 3:14
  it can be, you have to stay the course. The damn finally broke
• 3:17
  Matthew Woods scored in midway through the second period with an assist from Hudson shand
• 3:23
  Or Was this a snipe? I know you'd scored some dirty goals in the
• 3:25
  game, but was that a sniper? Yeah, we actually had It was
• 3:29
  off a face off, so we had set up a triangle face off play
• 3:31
  and Maddy stepped into it. How he won the drawer and Maddy stepped into
• 3:36
  it and roofed it short side. So that was a big goal for us,
• 3:38
  and you know, Chase followed up with a real gritty goal after that,
• 3:43
  and then just you know, then we got a Fluke goal. It
• 3:47
  was about time, but it was you know, you can say it was
• 3:51
  a Fluke goal because we just threw it at the net and went off Tristan
• 3:54
  Fraser stick and went in. But it was really good hockey or deep pinched
• 4:00
  and taber Heaslip covered for the d and when the puck came to him,
• 4:02
  he fired it at the net and we were there. So we did a
• 4:05
  lot of things right on that play to score goal. Right. You mentioned
• 4:10
  some of the line changes and the most significant one, well, there were
• 4:14
  a lot of line changes, but the one that was the most productive of
• 4:15
  the last three goals. Tristan, Ryan, Mashie and who will hear later
• 4:19
  on in taber Heaslip. They all had six point nights. They played great.
• 4:25
  I thought, they really gave us a lot of energy. They four
• 4:28
  checked well, they got pucks to the net, they won battles, they
• 4:31
  very rarely were in their own zone, so they gave us a really you
• 4:36
  know, those top three lines at night played extremely well. I thought,
• 4:44
  Now, when you dominate like that. Now, Ethan got his first career
• 4:46
  Yukon shut out. He stopped twenty two. Yeah, on Saturday, but
• 4:51
  when the shot differential it was like thirty to five in the first period.
• 4:56
  And what had happened like over the last six seven periods, Like you know,
• 5:00
  when you make a mistake, it gets magnified, and we saw that
• 5:03
  in the last couple of games. But that's almost like Ethan has to be
• 5:08
  even that extra sharp because he's not getting that many opportunities and he has to
• 5:11
  really focus when he has to play. That's tough for you know, that
• 5:14
  can be it's really tough. And you know what happened to our sinny on
• 5:18
  Friday night. We're playing so well, you know, as I alluded to,
• 5:23
  we outshot him eighteen to five in that third period, but one of
• 5:26
  the shots, like you're pressing and you're trying to make something happen, and
• 5:29
  they get a breakaway. And it's hard to play that way when you're not
• 5:31
  seeing any shots and all of a sudden they get a breakaway. But he,
• 5:35
  you know, to Ethan's credit, he stayed focused and when they did
• 5:41
  get a couple of chances, he smothered pucks, He killed plays and really
• 5:45
  didn't allow many second and third opportunities. Did he have to make any big
• 5:47
  saves? He did. He had to make a couple. Yeah, you
• 5:50
  had to make a couple of big saves. And listen, every game you're
• 5:54
  going to have to make a couple of saves. That's why you have a
• 5:57
  goalie. And he made those and the routine ones were easy for him.
• 6:02
  You know, I think real good goaltenders you don't see a lot of rebounds.
• 6:08
  They eat pucks and point shots get caught or directed to the corner or
• 6:14
  just smothered, and he did an excellent job of that on Saturday. Good.
• 6:16
  All right, we'll come back. We'll get a little more in depth
• 6:18
  in the Union series and we'll get into some of the individuals as we continue.
• 6:23
  We're live at Bear Smokehouse Barbecue. Ryan Mashey and Thomasineout are our player
• 6:28
  interviews that I recorded earlier this morning. As you're listening to the Yukon Hockey
