  Speaker 1: Maybe Konhackey, coach the Show, Bob Joey Sadam Giordino, Mike Kavanaugh.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Here Husky's in action this weekend home and home against
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Game one is Friday night up in Durham,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and game two, the only home game in the month
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of January for the Huskies, is Saturday afternoon at Tscano
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: three point thirty correct correct, and both.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Games can be seen on ESPN Plus.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Well, Mike, going into the break, I mentioned your captain
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Hudson Schandor has come alive in the scoring department points
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in four straight, eight of his last nine three goals,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: seven assists, had the empty netter on Saturday, and you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: put a new line together on Saturday for the game.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You had Jake on one well, Jake Rashard on one side,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Joey Mouldowney on the other, and it seemed to work
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: pretty well.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. We Actually they played together a little
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: bit out in Milwaukee as well, so no, they did.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: They had a pretty good weekend, and I like the
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: way that all four of our lines played. To be
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: honest with you, I shouldn't say that the first period
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't, but from the second and third period on
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: they were really you know, I thought buzzing all four lines.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what have you seen from honey to get him going?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: He's always he's just one of those kids who just
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: plays the game the right way. You have said he's
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: always been. I said our you know, he's our patrese Bergern.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: You know, he can play in all situations. He wins
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: big face offs for us. He wants some big face
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: off six on five, like not losing him clean, which
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: is huge. So he just does so many little things
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: so well, and he's a tremendous positive influence in that
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: locker room.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I know we are talking about the Harvard game because
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: it was the most recent one, but we haven't had
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: you on the Coaches Show since that trip out to Milwaukee.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: So what was the travel? The whole orientation of those
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: several days where you get an opportunity to be on
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: the road with the guys and maybe it's a little
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: bit of a different experience than just a trip Hockey
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: East weekend.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It was great. I love playing in Christmas tournaments. You know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the tough part is you got two practices and you
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: got to tee it up. That's a little bit tough.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: But other than that. It's just a great way I
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: think for your team to bond. You're playing for a trophy,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the games just have a little more meaning to them.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Pretty good crowds, and we hadn't traveled in a while.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: We hadn't been on a plane in a long time,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: so it was good for us to get out west.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: It's something that I'm going next year. We're going to
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: go out to Colorado College. It's something that kind of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: went away a little bit with COVID. Everybody was conscious
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: of staying a little closer to home. But I'd like
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: to take at least one Western trip every year. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: think it's important to play against opposing buildings. It's very
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: similar to if you have to go on the road
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: in the NCAAs and play somewhere out west. At least
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: it's not foreign to when you're playing those games.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Mike, you mentioned all four lines playing well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: With the exception of the first period, but coming off
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the break, it just seems like everybody is contributing in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: some way, shape or format on the scoreboard.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's, you know, a real luxury to have four
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: lines that can score a lot of times before the
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: game you look at opposing teams line chart, and you'll see, okay,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: this this line only has two goals all year, or
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: this line might have three goals all year, and all right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: this is the line we have to pay attention to.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But with us, we have up and down. We have
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: scoring up and down our lineup. So it's something that's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a luxury that we really haven't had in a long time.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Does it make it a challenge for you if you're
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: tied with two minutes left and you you know coaches
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: want to run their best line, say double them up
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: and give them atllle extra run. Does it cause confusion
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: as to okay, who are we going with?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Not really, because a lot of that's just driven by
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: who's playing the best during the game. So like Phillips line,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Sitars line would have been going out there because I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: thought they were giving us up. They scored up, they
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: created the first goal, we got Caravan's goal. That was
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: all their work. So I thought they were great. They
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: were going to continue to play. And even when we
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: went when they pulled the goalie with five minutes ago,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: six on five, I put them out there. I trusted
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: them they were playing that well.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Speaking of goalies, Calum Tung has certainly taken the reins.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: As you're starting netminer.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He has been spectacular since his first game against UMass
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a little back in late November.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: He's played very, very well. You know, I think his
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: goals against is under two.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: He's been really solid. It was unfortunate he came down
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: with the stomach bug against Wisconsin, uh, you know, because
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: he played really well against Alaska the night before. But
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the other, you know, the flip side is Tom Muslik
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: was playing really well before he got hurt. He's full
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: up now and back practicing and playing really well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So so you have a good problem to have with too.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: That that's this. You know, what's better. The only thing
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: better than having one real good goal he is having
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: two real good goalis. Yep.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: You had said addressing the media last week midweek before
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: the game against Harvard that and it hadn't occurred to
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: me that, okay, having you haven't had all three goalies
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: necessarily either physically healthy or not sick, whatever it may be.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: And you would say it's because of the wear and
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: tear of practice. How goalies get worn down. And I
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: think to people listening or watching you might not think that,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: but what is the extent that a goalie faces in
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: hundreds of shots?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: What does it look like in a practice.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: For a while?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Typically when you have three goalies, it's not too bad.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: And as the season goes on, we'll start tapering our
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: practices down. We don't have to put a lot of
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: systems in anymore, you know, we don't have to spend
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of time on that. Our kids know how
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: we want to play, so they won't see as many shots.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But early in the year they're seeing a lot more shots.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You're trying to condition your team, Your practices are longer,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and you need three goaltenders. And this is the first
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: time all year essentially that we've had three goaltenders healthy.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Was it Laura on the call last week that just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: raved it was asking a lot of questions about Tats.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: It just seems like there's so much energy that he
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: brings and and he obviously had a couple of goals
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: against Hartford, and I mean, he just seems to be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that guy.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: And we saw that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I think it was the BC game there last year,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the one that we did his line that I think
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he was with Tabor just the way they for checked,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: got the energy going and got you guys back in
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the game and he's never stopped.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he has that. He's got a little Brad Marsha
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: on to him.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's just a little Yeah. That's a good that's a
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: good comparison. Yeah. I like that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: He's feisty, plays on the edge, but he's got a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: high end skill and he can really skate. So you know, now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the other night, I thought the first period he was
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: a little out of whack, and that can happen sometimes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: but he did settle down and play. You know, obviously
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a great third period, scoring two really big goals for us.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Was the goal one of the goals he scored, Joey
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I think gave him a pass across the crease.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Christin Fraser made a nice play across the grease. Yeah,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: the empty net. So it was a really good goal.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: But the second goal he scored is one I really liked.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: He got position on the defenseman and got his stick
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: free and Tray Scott made a dynamite play sifting it
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: down and finding his stick and he tipped it between
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: his legs through and for the goal.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Three. It's just for Tray that game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: As we talk about Ryan Tattle, one of the things
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: you brought up in that call was the score for
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: cancer game that he had and the support of Hudson
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Chandor and just their involvement together. Obviously it's Ryan tattle,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: but just to have the support of a teammate when
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you're so far from home come out and help support you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: What is it like as a coach to see that
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: happening with one of your team captains, but it's another
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: player being supported, and just the work that Ryan has
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: done to bring for cancer to the forefront.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I told the team, you know, we had a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: quote last week. Life is ten percent what happens to
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you in ninety percent how you react to it. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: obviously he had a really tough situation as freshman year
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: when his mom passed. And now the way he's reacted
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to it is he's raising a lot of money for cancer.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And I wasn't there at the game, but how he was.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: He told me he was banged out. They raised a
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: ton of money, and I think it's scalable to the
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: point where maybe they bring it to a Canucks game
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: at some point, and he's a kid that next year,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: for sure, I'm going to put him up for the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Humanitarian Award. I think he's that type of leader.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Wellcome back with Coach cav a little later on Joey
• 8:38
