- 0:08Speaker 1: you got us, Yeah, thanks for doing this. As always,
- 0:11Speaker 1: you're about to jump on a plane to go to
- 0:13Speaker 1: Milan's six game win streak. How are you guys feeling
- 0:16Speaker 1: right now?
- 0:17Speaker 2: We're feeling great. Obviously we'd like to have some better
- 0:20Speaker 2: third periods, but buying large, we're out playing teams and
- 0:23Speaker 2: I think we're at a good spot with our game.
- 0:26Speaker 3: When you look at this sixth game winning streak, nothing's
- 0:29Speaker 3: coming easy, but you're finding ways to win. What does
- 0:32Speaker 3: that say is for you guys as a team.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I mean, we're a veteran group. We understand how to
- 0:36Speaker 2: win close games and what it takes to win them.
- 0:39Speaker 2: So I think as long as we keep doing the
- 0:41Speaker 2: right things, we'll keep coming out on top.
- 0:43Speaker 1: For you, going over to the Olympics and playing for
- 0:45Speaker 1: Team Canada, how excited are you?
- 0:49Speaker 2: Very? You know all year it's kind of been off
- 0:52Speaker 2: in the distance. It's in February, it's the Olympic, so and
- 0:54Speaker 2: you know, now we're here and like you said, we're
- 0:57Speaker 2: flying off in two days. So you see how it goes.
- 1:01Speaker 3: You know, you played on the Four Nations team, but
- 1:04Speaker 3: you didn't know you were going to play on that.
- 1:05Speaker 3: That was sort of a sort of thrown at you
- 1:07Speaker 3: at the last second. You know about being on Team Canada.
- 1:10Speaker 3: How have you been able to prepare for this mentally
- 1:12Speaker 3: as compared to last year. We just got thrown to
- 1:14Speaker 3: the mix.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You know, not not different at all. It's still hockey.
- 1:19Speaker 2: It's just hockey at the highest level. So I'm gonna
- 1:21Speaker 2: go in and do what makes me successful in the NHL,
- 1:23Speaker 2: which is moving my feet and concentrated on fitting well
- 1:25Speaker 2: and everything else kind of comes naturally.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Is it. Was it indescribably fast? Is it going to
- 1:30Speaker 1: be indescribably fast for you and for you guys playing
- 1:34Speaker 1: with that team specifically?
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I would assume. So the rink is even smaller,
- 1:38Speaker 2: I think, so, you know, see how it goes.
- 1:41Speaker 3: As far as family is concerned, how excited they're they
- 1:43Speaker 3: who's coming with you?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Uh, they're very excited. So my parents, my older brother
- 1:48Speaker 2: and his girlfriend, my grandmother who is absolutely fired up
- 1:53Speaker 2: to be there, and then my girlfriend is coming as well.
- 1:56Speaker 1: And for you specifically, you got up to kind of
- 1:59Speaker 1: a slower start and then you go in the show
- 2:01Speaker 1: with injury, you've gotten better and better as you've come back.
- 2:04Speaker 1: How do you feel about your game where it is
- 2:07Speaker 1: right now?
- 2:09Speaker 2: You know, I'm definitely happy with it than the start
- 2:11Speaker 2: of the year. We're still working out some kinks here,
- 2:14Speaker 2: but byron large, pretty accurate.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Last question for you there, Hals. Looking at the schedule,
- 2:20Speaker 3: your first game is against Checchia, which means Raddick Fox
- 2:23Speaker 3: and you are going to go head to head. Will
- 2:25Speaker 3: you take it easy on your teammate knowing that in
- 2:28Speaker 3: a couple of weeks you're gonna be fighting for the
- 2:30Speaker 3: playoffs and the Stanley Cup.
- 2:31Speaker 2: No, no chance, I'm gonna lie them up.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Thomas, Thanks so much. We're gonna be cheering for you.
