• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And we welcome you to Bear Smocus Barbecue and Hartford.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It is our last Yukon Hockey Coaches show of the season.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It was supposed to be last week, but mother nature
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: kind of took care of that. Bob Joyce, Adam Jaredino,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and the head coach of the Hockey Huskies, the ice
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Bus aka Mike Cavanaugh is with us. Mister Kavanaugh, good evening.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: How are we doing.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: We're doing great. How are you guys doing?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We're doing five. Before we get into what happened in overtime,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the UMass series scores are not indicative of how well
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: your team played, particularly in the offensive end, particularly Saturday night.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Michael Horabo still a weekend for the team for UMass.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: He was magnificent. And here we are with a week
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to go, two games left, sitting in third, point ahead
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of U Mass, point behind BC, top four, looking to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: get home ice for the quarterfinals.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in a position right now where, if you
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: know we went on Thursday night, we're guaranteed another game
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: in Tuscano. So I think that's a great position to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: be in. Uh, you know, I really liked the way
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: we played this weekend. It's funny. I was telling our
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: staff that we went up to Maine and I didn't
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: think we played very well at Maine, and I heard
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: about that we got five or six points. And then
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: this weekend, I thought we played really well both nights.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Friday night, the third period got away from us with
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: special teams, but we still played pretty well, especially five
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: on five, and then Saturday night might have been one
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: of our best games of the year.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Second period especially Oh yeah, I.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Mean we had twenty four shots on net in the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: second period. I mean that was more than the last
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: five games combined. I think, you know, for the total
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: game it was. I was really really happy with the
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: way we played. And that's the sport of hockey. There's
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: times where you know, you get five or six points
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and you might not deserve it, and then there's a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: time where you deserve more and you don't. So the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: key is to just continue to play a brand that's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: going to be successful in the playoffs, and you have
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to be able to continue to I like when we're
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: creating offense. I don't love when we're winning one nothing
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to to one and we have twenty shots on net.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I think if you want to be really successful,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you have to be able to continually get thirty to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: forty shots on NET per game. I think.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Because of the point in the season when it happened,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: was there a little extra having to remind the players
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: of how well they played, because it's one thing to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: get one point in a weekend in December versus one
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: point in a weekend when March is right around the corner.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I referenced the class that they replaced, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Jackham and Mark Gackcomb, Carter Turnbull, Johnny Evans, those guys.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys remember, but when they
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: were seniors, we had a weekend that against Northeastern and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: put over one hundred shots on net and Devin Levi
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: stole the weekend for them. Oh yeah, and you know
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we wound up going to the final game that year.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So it's I know, I know, I get your point
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that it's late in the year, and is it magnetized
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: more because of that. I don't think you can let
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it go there. I think you just have to focus
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: on how you played and then move on.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Mike, you took advantage of a team that was a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: little shorthanded on Saturday in UMass, particularly in that second
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: period first period was back and forth, but the second period,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as we mentioned, probably one of the best periods of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hockey your team played all year. Twenty five to four
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: were the shots. They got a late goal in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: second to tie the game at two. You go into
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the locker room like that, and instead of being up one,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you're even what's what's the mindset there? I mean, I mean,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I imagine the guys are a bit frustrated, so by
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff as well as you played. It's still even, yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And I think I think great players just have to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: move on from it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I told the kids that, you know, everybody in their
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: life has sawed a piece of wood, and they're like, yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we've all saw a piece of what. I go, have
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you ever saw sawdust? They're like, no, go, of course not,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: because it's already saw it. It's like it's over with,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's done with, Like you don't saw sawdust. Move on
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that saw dust the second period saw dust, Let's go
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: play the third period. And that was kind of my
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: message to them. It's, yeah, we played a great period
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and we're two two and we're on the road. Let's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: go play a great third period. And I think all
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: great athletes are able to move on from one shift
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to the next without Let you know, one of the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: greatest things I ever heard Tom O'Brien as an old
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: football coach at Boston College and they lost a heartbreaker.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: They were going in to beat Miami at home. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: was at the game and Ed Reid intercepted a pass
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on the goal line late in the game to end
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the game, and his line to the team was, don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: let Miami beat you twice. Basically, it was like, you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: can't be thinking about Miami. We got another game next weekend.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That game's over with. Let's move on. I think all
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the great athletes are able to put stuff in the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: rearview mirror and move on.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: The way that the team was able to take that
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: second period, build it into the third, continue to build offense,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and not let Miami beat them twice? So to speak,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: did you get a sense of excitement from the guys
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of how well they were playing after that second perier,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: even though it was too too Were you getting the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: excitement of Okay, we've done this for almost five periods.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Now this weekend, let's just go out there and continue
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to play this well.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Ah, I don't think they were. I don't know if
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: they were excited. I don't think they were down. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: think they were very business like, Yeah, let's let's go
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: out and win a third period and win a game.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And we go out and went out and scored right
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: away or early in that third period, and then you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: they came right back and tied the game. But even
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: after that, we still played really well. So it just
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it happened. Sometimes. I think we have to just focus
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: more on how we played and not the result.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Right, And we'll talk about who played well coming up later.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We will visit with time used like fabulous interview with Tye.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: He was he was really good today. And Trey Scott
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: was good today too. Really, yes, we had Trey Scott
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: on today. He was good.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Not the most loquacious guy on our team, but it's okay.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But I got seven and a half minutes.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And oh yeah, no, he played well.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Trey and the Huskies when we come back.
