  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Bear Smokehouse Barbecue at Hartford. Is the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hockey Coaches Show here on lear Field. Great to have
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you with us, Bob Joyce, with Mike Cavanugh, Adam Jardino. Well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we were going to save this for the second segment,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of course. There was a little incident that happened in
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: over time with about what a minute and a half
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: If that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Minute, men had just come down the ice with a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: chance to score kai Jian varias coming out of the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: zone up the left side, and the lights start flickering
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and then the lights go out as if you mass
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: had won the game. It was a big celebration and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: suddenly play stopped. Should that be a penalty like a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: delay of game type thing if you're throw like throwing
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: pucks on the ice and stuff like that. I mean,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it's you know, the closest thing I can think of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in hockey is when the power went out in Boston
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for Game four of the eighty eight Stanley Cup Finals.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But the only difference was the lights ever came back
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on for that game.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the power went out. The power didn't go out there.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Someone shut the lights off. And I'm not saying it
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: was done purposely. It was probably an accident. What it
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: appeared like to me was they put the strobe lights
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: on thinking that you mass scored. I don't know why,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: because it wasn't even close to going in and then
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: maybe someone panicked and you know, shot it off, hit
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: another button. I don't know. You know, it is what
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: it is. I'm not going to get too torn up
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: about it. It's just there's nothing you can do about
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: There's no rule in the book for you know, a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: penalty for that. There is if you throw stuff on
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the ice because of the fans, get warned, and if
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: it gets done again, then you're going to you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you get a delay of the game penalty.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: But did you get a sense that the officials when
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: they huddled up after that, were they trying to figure out, Hey,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: can is there anything to be done besides just redoing
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: just do a face?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: No, I think they were. My take with the officials
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: was I just think they were confused. They had to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: blow the whistle, the lights are out, you know, it's
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: a dangerous situation. And afterwards, you know, they came up
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to me and they said they were very disappointed that
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: it happened, and they were going to report it, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: quite honestly, I wasn't even thinking about it when it happened.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: At first I was, I said, what happened? Like why
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: did the lights go out? And then my mind just
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: shifted immediately to all right, there's a minute in forty
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: seven seconds left. We still we got to.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Figure out offensive zone face off?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, offensive zone face off? Who do we want out there?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Like those types of things I wasn't thinking about. We
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: just got screwed. Yeah, yeah, that wasn't That was the
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: last thing on my mind. That was still a minute
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: in forty seven seconds left. I didn't think there was
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: gonna be a penalty. I just thought there was. It
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: was unfortunate that it happened, so listen, we had plenty
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of chances to score and not even have the game
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in overtime. So but you know, Mike Rabel was pretty good.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, quite the weekend when you get to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the shootout, how do you determine who takes the shootouts?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Is there some sort of like you go through and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: practice and you determine who's been good who hasn't.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we we do a shootout the Thursday usually before
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: every weekend before a game, and the guys that score
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: in that shootout are the guys I usually go with.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: That's how we determine who goes. And sometimes it's like
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: we went with Shahan because Shahan had two goals against
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: that kid. He had scored on him in a shootout
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: last year, and he had scored on him in regulation.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So we started with Shahan because of that, because of
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: previous And sometimes it's just like when Houston Cartman went
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: against Harvard, Like he turned around and looked at me
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and goes, I can beat this kid. And I love that. Yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Like if a kid turns around and says to me,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I can beat this kid, all right, you're up next.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You know, some of it's based on that. In the moment,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I want to see a guy who's like, I think
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I can beat this kid.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: In baseball, you know, you strike out against a pitcher,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you see the guy walk to the man on deck
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and give him kind of Hey, this is what the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: guy's throwing. This is what I saw in the abat
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Is there any of that in a shootout where.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: They talk on the bench, But most guys just have
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: their move that they're going to go with. Yeah, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: you know the virtuosity that he plays that position with
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Arabel was never more evident than the saving made on Blaze.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's he's really skilled and fluent goaltender.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's six seventies that fluid, And that's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the scary part of it. I know, it's Utah should
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: be happy they have him.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish they signed him tomorrow, but I wish
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: they signed him last week. But no, he's he's an
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: excellent goaltender. And but we had our chances too that
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: where I thought we could have capitalized on. And that's hockey.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm really happy with the way we
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: played and the amount of chances we generated. And if
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: we if we keep putting fifty shots on net, we're
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: gonna win a lot of hockey games. I know.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: In a little bit we're going to talk to Tray
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Scott and he had his first career goal actually the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: first of the season that season. Yeah, I'm sorry, that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: was my fault and talking to him, we're talking about him.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: You said, oh, he's not the most loquation. How do
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you navigate that as a on the recruiting trail. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: just find it interesting, you know, we think about these
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: guys when you're evaluating skills, but there's obviously the the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: person component as well. So you know, having a guy
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that you say, Okay, he's going to be a vocal leader,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: this guy might be a little quieter. How do you
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: just navigate the the person while you're also trying to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: navigate the skills.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not like he's a mute. No, I don't
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: want to say that. You're saying, you know, Tabor heaslip
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't shut up. Yeah, exactly. It's great because he brings
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: so much energy to practice. And when I say that,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: he does it in a good way. You know, he's
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: just it's natural to him to to be vocal all
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the time. Not everybody has to be. So I wasn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: saying that as a knocko. No, No, And I think
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the first thing you do is when you recruit somebody,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you obviously can they help our team as a hockey player?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And then when you meet them are they going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: fit in with our group? And Trey fits in extremely well.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: He's he's an awesome kid, gets along with everybody, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: he at times he will speak up and lead. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the other thing is he's only a sophomore. You know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Ryan Taddle didn't say much as a sophomore, but they
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: grow into it. So I'm not saying that he's always
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: going to be like that. I believe that, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: as he grows older and he becomes a veteran on
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: this team, he will have a voice.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you threw him into the Wolves last year. I mean,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he didn't start right away, and then once you got
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: him in, you couldn't take him out. And eventually he
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: got the keys to the power play. And I know
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he went through some injury woes this season, but the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: second half he's been pretty good, pretty darn good.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: He's Yeah, he was definitely banged up the first half
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: of the year, and I think he's healthy now and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: he's so much composure and with the pock up top,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you know, you need a quarterback on your power play,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and he does that really really well for us.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: What about Kai, same type.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Kai's a little like Kai's Kai's loquacious. Yeah, Kai's very confident,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: uh energetic, talks all the time. He's a little different,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: but they're both effective. They're both effective in the way
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: they play. I thought that this past weekend was Kai's
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: best weekend that he's had this year. I thought he
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: was dynamite all weekend. He The thing about Kai is,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: because of his size, everybody thinks he has to be
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: an offensive defenseman. You don't see many five eight defensemen
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: then aren't really offensive. His defense might be the best
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: on our team, Like that's his calling card, you can check.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but he might lead our team in
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: plus minus because he defends. Oh, we'll look at we're
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: watching this right on ESPN right now.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, to the devil you made PTI.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Congratulation pill PTI and the other.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: It says, what's the bigger gaff? The light or a
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: pace car? There was a half marathon and the pace
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: car led the person who was winning down a side
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: street and they ended up losing because they followed the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: pace car down the wrong say the pace I would think,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: so I'd be angry. Or if I was that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Pace car, check to see if the pace car has
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: a fan duel account. Yeah, exactly.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, high is yes plus eight going into the past
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: week and plus eighteen, and Viking was plus sixteen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kai's defense and nobody in our team closes
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: time and space better than Kai. His stick is elite,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: his gaps are elite, and his competitiveness. When you watch
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: him go into a battle, it doesn't matter who it's with,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: nest Saul. He went into a battle with Nestra Saul
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: and took him out and took the puck. He is
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: an outstanding defensive defenseman.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. Get more than the defenseman,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: because you know who's been laying the wood lately, Anthony Lane.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Samaki has been knocking some people around, and we talked
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: about that in the last Coaches Show and about your
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: expectations for him. We're live at Bear smoke House Barbecue.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: A couple in a bits, we'll hear interviews with todm.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Muslik and Trey Scott. Back to Bears in a minute.
• 9:37
