1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Clayne. Back to back wins Vancouver and Florida 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: on the weekend and really have put that four game 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: slide behind you. Just what have you thought it's been 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: the biggest difference is these last two games compared to 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: the previous four. 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: I just thought we played a little bit more, not urgency, 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: but just a little less with hesitation, you know. I 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 2: think there was a couple of times during a couple 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 2: of those games, and certainly in the Colorado game, where 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: we were a little bit hesitant, you know, trying to 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: protect and not get scored on as you know, as 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 2: opposed to you know, just closing ending plays and going 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: on the offense. So I thought we did a much 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: better job of that. Our mindset was better. 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: Eleven goals your last two games. Bobby McMahon has factored 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: in into five of those goals. Have you noticed anything 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: different offensively or is it simply that Bobby McMahon brings 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: something to your lineup that you've been missing for the 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: first three quarters of the season. 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, there's not a whole bunch of difference with Bobby. 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: You know, he obviously you know, it's really good to 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: see him, you know, get on this little bit of 23 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: a run. We need him to continue doing that for us. 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 2: You know, I knew last week when he was stuck 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: in immigration that we needed him. Certainly could have made 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 2: a difference in a couple of those games. But you 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: know he's for me. Comes as advertised. You know, is 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: he going to get you know, five points in every 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: two games? No, but he certainly provides us with speed 30 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: and some offensive instincts. 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: I said last night when I talked to you last game, 32 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: that the two points minimums got to be the standard, 33 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: because he had three in his first game. Now two 34 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: last games, so hopefully for two here tonight. Looking at 35 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Landing, another top team in the NHL. 36 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: When you look at the last two games that you've 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: played Colorado and Carolina against top teams, two different results, 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: can you take some lessons from those games and apply 39 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: them here to Tampa. 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: I think you take more lessons, hopefully from the Colorado game, 41 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: than you do from the Carolina game. Tampa is a 42 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: very similar team to Colorado in terms of offensive abilities, 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: extremely dangerous, high level, high end talent, a bunch of 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: guys that played in the Olympics. So that tells you something. 45 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 2: You know, They're a good hockey team. So I think 46 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: we can take a little bit more out of the 47 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: Colorado game the Carolina game, not because we won the 48 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: Carolina game and lost the Colorado game, but just because, 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: you know, we have to make sure that we're not 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: hesitant out there tonight and we've got to we've got 51 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: to get on our toes and go for it. 52 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: I think you, more so than most coaches in the league, 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: know what this Tampa Bay Lightning team can do. Having 54 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: coached against them, coached against them so much couple of 55 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: conference finals. Why are they so dangerous? What issues do 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: they present teams that seemingly they've not been able to 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: overcome in the last handful of years that Tampa has 58 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: been this dominant force out of the East. 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: Talent, They got a lot of talent, and they work. 60 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: You know, you talk about the Tampa Bay Lightning and 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: all the talent they have. They go to the net very, 62 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: very hard. They play a championship playoff type of hockey game, 63 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: and they can play any game you want, and you 64 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: know it starts with number eighty six and number twenty one, 65 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: So you know, I mean, that's what they are. That's 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: why they're so good and you know they've had a 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: lot of success over the years. 68 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: You've gotten off some good starts. Last two games against 69 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: Vancouver along with Florida. Defensively you've played well. I have 70 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: to imagine those have to be your top two keys 71 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: tonight for victory. 72 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: Well, we got to come out and play the first 73 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: five minutes, you know, and make sure that we're on 74 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: our toes and going, and then we'll take it from there. 75 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: Just taking increments of five minutes. Don't get ahead of ourselves, 76 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: but we need a good start.
