• 0:20
  Speaker 1: schedule for the second semester. We had a ton of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: games and it's Quinnipiac again. They've been that team that's
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: been in your way to getting a trophy the last
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: three years. And now you get them to start on Friday,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and you know they've they've come along as of late,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: they're playing better hockey, but they're always going to be
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that team that you got to go over the MP
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: against them.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. And this is just a new year
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and they're a different team and we're a different team.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: So I'm not really gonna look back on old films
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: when when it comes to this game. They're playing pretty well.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: They're three on one in their last four and so
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: were we. It's gonna be a good hockey game. Rams
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a great coach, they never beat themselves. They excellent special teams.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I think the power plays at twenty nine percent, the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: good face off team. They're very structured, So we're going
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to have to play disciplined ourselves. It's the one area
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I thought. The only place I was disappointed on the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: weekend was I thought we lacked a little discipline on
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, taking a couple penalties that nullified power plays
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: for us. But we can't we can't be doing that
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: come Friday if we want to be Quinnipiac.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: When you have a couple of you know, four straight games,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: but positive results against ranked opponents, and then you have
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: a couple of non conference games coming up. But does
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: it help where there is a trophy as that that
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: carrot to kind of help lead the guys this weekend.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's always that always, you know, amplifies the game
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: when there's a trophy on the line. There's no question
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: about it. I think our guys are more focused on
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: We're really just taking one weekend at a time because
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: our schedule has been you know, New Hampshire was ranked,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: was ranked, Quinnipiac's ranked. We're going to play Providence is ranked,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It's like and then you play U Mass and Lowell
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: who were ranked. So it's just one weekend after another,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and I think we've been pretty good at staying in
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the moment and just focusing on the weekend at hand.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I want to ask a bit of an oddball question
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: where you have just a couple of guys on the
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: team that are draft picks, and so what has it
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: been like as the head coach with have scouts been
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: kind of floating around? How does that work? Where you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: getting guys to to look at some players that obviously
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: have talent to play at the next level.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you're looking at Mark Gackcomb. I mean, he played
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: his first game for the Islanders last week and he's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: up right now playing games he played last night and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: he wasn't drafted, right, you know, so New Power wasn't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: drafted and he's on the verge of playing in the NHL. So,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you know, I think our guys, we have some guys,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: some great players. I think Ardula, Whitcomb, Shay haand none
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of those guys were drafted. Hung wasn't drafted. So in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: some ways it's it's good because I think they're hungry.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And another way it's not great because they're free agents
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and they can be plucked at any point.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: All right, well, we wish you all the best of luck.
• 3:14
