  Speaker 1: dot com. You know baseball's coming too soon too. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: know Jimmy Penders has been on the baseball field with
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: his team. You had him come in today, right and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: talk to you guys.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I did. He was fantastic. You know, when you think
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of someone that bleeds blue, I'm not sure if there's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: anybody that does more than Jim. You know, his dad
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: was part of the sixty five College World Series team
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: at Yukon, and Jim grew up at Yukon. You know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: class at ninety four. He was an All Big East catcher,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: he was an All Academic team. He's a winning as
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: baseball coach at Yukon. He's been there twenty three years,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and I just I love listening to him. I've heard
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: him speak a couple of times. I wanted our players
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to understand, you know, how much the university means to
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: him and what it should mean to them. And he
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: was great just telling our players basically, you know, the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: standards and expectations of the team have to be commensurate
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: with the logo they represent. And I loved his message
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and I thought he like I said, it was one
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of our best practices of the year because I think
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he got him locked in. So every now and then
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the players need to hear a different voice. Yeah, I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: thought he was outstanding today.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a lot of baseball hockey overlap.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Any of the guys on the team ever played baseball.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: There is like, oh yeah, okay, I played baseball. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: mean a lot of guys that I think, you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I know, Brian Leach was a great baseball player. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of guys that were hockey baseball players.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a big sport in Canada. Yeah, baseball
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: is very big in Canada.
• 1:52

• 1:56
  Speaker 3: that you can think of that are.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I'd have to ask.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: About the success of the Blue Jays, of course is yeah.

  Speaker 2: Well everyone in Canada is a Blue Jays fan. That's
• 2:06

  Speaker 4: You know it was a good baseball player. Juice Faren
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the tight end.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: He if he didn't play college college football, he could
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: have played college baseball.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: He was a catcher. Yeah, which I thoroughly enjoy. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: mean that's my thing. What what position did you play
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: grown up in baseball? Yeah?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Shortstop?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, shocking. Gino pitched played ball. Gina played baseball growing up.

• 2:32
  Speaker 2: does he.

• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you've got Yale and uh. They have played better as
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of late, coming off a really good weekend. They scored
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of goals. There's a couple of last names
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that look familiar, and I'm wondering if they're former players kids.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We've got Dave Andrew Chuck or David Andrew Chuck. Is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that Dave's kid?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I was thinking the same thing when
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I was watching film today.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: And what's the other one that I know rich playing?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is I think that's Mike's kid. Yes, I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: believe it is.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And there's a Zito too.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Right, maybe a goalie, but there. Captain David Chen's got
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: after it lately. He's got a five game point streak going.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But they're playing better.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Five and two at home. They went on the road
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: this weekend and swept Union and RPI. They're playing really well.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So uh, But you know, in this tournament, every game
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: is a hard game. Nothing's easy. It's always a tough
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and when you're playing in these tournament games and rivalry games,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you don't expect it to be easy. You got to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: go out there and you know, earn your victories. It's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: why when in the trophies tough.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: When being the late game, the start time is not
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: going to fluctuate a whole lot. At most, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: five extra minutes. But have you ever been part of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the game where the game before you went several overtimes
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: and you were just waiting and waiting. What games were those?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: There was one I remember in the NCAA tournament where
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I think Michigan I think was playing I can't remember
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: who they were playing, and that game went to overtime.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We were playing Colorado College and it was a It
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: was a late game too, so I don't know when
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: we finally teed it up, probably about nine thirty at night.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It was late, so because when you've got those twenty
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: minute overtime periods and there's no right and in sight right, Yeah,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think. I was part of one where
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: we were in the first game and it kept going.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It was a triple overtime game and bu was playing
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Vermont after us at the guard, and uh so I
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: was glad we were in the first game for that one.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: But not many There's been a couple, you know, a
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: couple where it's maybe been deep into the first overtime,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: but not many where it's been like double triple overtime.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Now, the old days of the bean Pop before they
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: went to the NCAA ools, they played full twenties.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right, we did, and that's when it happened
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a couple of times in those bean pot games.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we lucked out last year because you remember Maine
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in Northeastern when they played double overtime after we beat
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: bu in the center.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Right, that's right. It was a marathon, but it didn't
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: you know, it didn't matter for me in that night.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: So we already back in a hotel.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, hanging out here, we're gonna
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have Viking gust Of sin Ibergan And I know you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: raved about him on your call last week with the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Nessen folks here.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: His development.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: What have you seen in his game that's evolved as
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he continues to improve as a big, big young defenseman
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: from Sweden.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Well, he's become I think a lot more physical since
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: he's been here. I think that's probably because he's become comfortable,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you know, in the system and with his defensive play
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and his feet. He works on that all the time.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I think you are seeing someone who feels a lot
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: more at home handling the puck. You know, his puck
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: skills have I think certainly improved. And well, he'll never
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: be you know, Lane Hudson or cal mccarr running a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: power play. It's still important to be able to make
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a great first outlet pass and be able to make
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a play in the offensive zone to create a goal.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And those are the things that he can do.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And the other guy that we'll be talking to is
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Jake Richard and so ten points over his last eight games.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I know we've been talking about that line in general,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: but what's happening in his game the last you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: couple of the last month or so.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I just think pucks is starting to go in for him.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I told him that, you know, he was, I don't know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: maybe about fifteen games into the season. His shooting percentage
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: was at four percent. He said, this isn't going to last.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It's it's a baseball player that's continuing to hit hard
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: line drives. Eventually they're going to start falling, you know. So, uh,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: he can't worry about that. Just keep getting shots on net.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And he's been doing that and he's scored a couple
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of goals here lately. But he's always creating. He's his
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: IQ is probably the best on the team. He just
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: sees things a lot quicker than most people do, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: his stick skills are outstanding.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's for sure. See it always comes back
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: to baseball. Oh wait, who was your favorite player growing up?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Red Sox? Jim Rice, Jim Rice, Jim Jim Red Rice?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Who played in Bristol with Freddy Lynn?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Because you got to meet him and know him too.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: He's a really good guy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: There you go, so's Freddy Lynn? Freddy used to be
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: a regular. Yeah.

  Speaker 1: I don't know fred but Fred's a good guy. I

  Speaker 1: interviewed him a couple of times.

• 7:51
  Speaker 3: case of Jim.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Right, he moved into the town I lived into and
