• 0:29
  Speaker 2: good luck.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Well it's not much better here.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Well there's more snow there probably than there is here.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: That's right, because you know they got a vicious you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: that's that system. What is it with the weekend of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the Bowl game? We're coming back from Indy. It was
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: sixty degrees that day in Indy and then the front
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: came through with thunderstorms and the next day it was
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the teens. Wow, And I think up the Upper
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Peninsula because the lake hasn't frozen yet, just got buried
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: like Syracuse did.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you have.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Fun with that. You did well in school.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, okay, all right, just don't tell your parents
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: how it went.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: He did, all right, he did, all right, good, good, good, good. Well.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Your hockey team's doing all right. Four straight wins.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: When I last saw you, you were completing a sweep
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of Merrimac. And I want to start there because I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: really liked the discipline from the Saturday game, because it
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: was it was a physical, tough series. Merrimack tried to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: go you guys into some penalties in that Saturday game,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and I thought, you guys, more than just you stayed
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: with it. You stuck to your plan and you got
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the job done. You didn't let the fight, you didn't
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: let any cheapness getting and you know, get guys in
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the penalty box.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You stuck to your guns, and you came out with
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a nice wind.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: We did. We stayed pretty disciplined. I thought the kids
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: were really focused. We had ten days off. It was
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a good break after the stone Hill game for us.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: We needed that weekend off to kind of recharge and
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: get some guys healthy. And when we got back, I thought,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: probably one of our better weekends of the year. I
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: thought from you know, for the six periods that we
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: played that weekend. I thought we were really solid, stayed focused,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: as you mentioned, stayed disciplined, and were able to complete
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the task at hand.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you had a couple of weeks off,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and I know, it's got to feel good you play
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like that in your couple of games going into a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: what three week respite. You'd rather go into that like
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that rather than you know, losing a game or two
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and being grumpy for the next three weeks.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: No question about it. Yeah, And that was a good
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: break for us too. You know, we got Joey was
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the only one who was still playing. He played over
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: in the Spangler Cup and did a great job over there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: They lost in the finals of that tournament, but they
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: certainly represented the US college players really well. And the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: guys came back recharged, and you know, I thought we
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: might have had our best game of the year on
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: New Year's Eve.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's let's go there, because the Huskies took
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: on l i U for two games. You played in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: stores New Year's Eve, came away with an ice victory
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: there what three goals second period or was it?
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Oh no, that was that was Saturday.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: No, Yeah, we played on New Year's Eve. We played
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: extremely well. In the first period we were only up
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: one nothing, and in the second period we played well
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: as you know also, and still we're going into the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: third period in a one nothing game and we're able
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to break that game open. And unfortunately Moose couldn't get
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the shutout they got. They get a late one in
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: both games and run the New Year's Eve game, it
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: was kind of an innocuous shot. It just I don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: know whether it got deflected or but it fooled them.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: But we played really well, I thought on New Year's Eve.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you go down Saturday on a cold
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and a cold rink and get it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Get the job done there too. Three goal second on Saturday.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Alexandblay and Carlin de Zayne having another solid day's boy,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: that line's playing awfully well. And Ayden Shahan, by the way,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you talk about a guy that's taking a nice jump
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: from freshman and sophomore year, that's exhibit A right there.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: There's no question about it. I thought that was our
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: best line both games. They were really really playing with tempo,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: playing with pace. They weren't giving up a lot defensively
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and offensively, they were creating chances just about every shift.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And I mean Cayden had a breakaway on Saturday and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: he had a point blank shot from kid made two
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: really high end saves on.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Him to get that win too. And you got a
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: shorthanded goal in the first game. Dumphy right defenseman who
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Braden Dumphy who will talk to in the player segments
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: along with Carlon Dezay got a shorthanded goal. To walk
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: me through that shorthanded goal, what was it like? A
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: like a breakout and a rebounder get here?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: No, we made a nice play on the wall and
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: their guy pinched and Cayden Shahan through area pass and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Dounefee beat everybody up ice and scored the goal. We
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: had two shorthanded breakaways on Saturday and didn't score on
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: either one of them. So the penalty kill I thought
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: was playing with a lot of aggression. I thought they
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: forced Long Island into some turnovers that resulted in breakaways
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: and odd man rushes for us.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Looking down here at the list here, you got some
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: hot players here outside of Kayden Shahan, Ryan tattles on
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a vender. Right now, three game
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: goal streak, four game points streak. Right now, you get
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Joy mold Downey back from his trip to Europe where
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that team had a really good run.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the great thing here You look at some
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of the numbers, all right, some of the guys numbers
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: are down, but when you look top the bottom, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we've talked about this on coaches shows the consistency that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you have with each line is getting the job done.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That way, it's not one line having to rely on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: one line.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: To get the job done. And that's what you've talked about.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: The depth where you can roll four lines, they all
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: could be productive.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the game New Year's Eve, I don't know the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: numbers for Saturday's game. I haven't looked at those in
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: detail yet. But from Saturday, excuse me, New Year's Eve,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: we had twelve forwards all have over double digits in
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: ice time. And when you can do that, everybody's getting
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: ten to eleven to know even strength, I'm talking about
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: thirteen to eleven minutes for every forward and then you
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: know you have some depth and you know you're getting
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: you just it's easy for me as a coach. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: can just roll four lines and let one go after
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the other. I don't worry about matchups and the other
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: thing about not only are they all scoring and it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: balanced scoring, but defensively they're all pretty solid as well,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: So that really helps. Especially when you're on the road
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and the other team has last change, you're not worried.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: About it, right right. For sure, Tyler continues to play well.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: In that Yeah. Yeah, like I said, he you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: he could have had two shutouts. He gave up that
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: one goal late at home, and then they got a
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: five on six goal with about a couple of minutes
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: left in the game. Whether they pulled the goal, they
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: pulled the goalie when they were down three nothing, they
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: pulled a goalie where they think three minutes to go,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and I think they got one around the two and
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: a half minute mark under deflection.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: All Right, there's lots to get to more than just
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: this hockey team. We'll continue with talk a little about
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: this hockey team. But you've got an alum on the
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Olympic team. You had a video done released by Spit
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and Chicklets that is all about your program and your facility,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: which is absolutely gorgeous.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I like the shooting room, by the way, I'm a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: big fan of that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: The shooting room. Yes, have you been in there.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: No, I've not. I have to get in there sometimes.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: At one point in my life, I was a deck
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: hockey legend. I scored out a rebound for a championship
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: one time, did you Yeah. I didn't have much of
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a slap shot. I was a more of a risk
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: shot guy. Okay, yeah, I.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Was like that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: But I was a two way. But I was a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: two way. I was two hundred well not two hundred feet. Yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: but I played both ends. Okay, all right, it is the.
