1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike back with Gock and head coach Lane Lambert 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: big win up in Vegas back on Saturday. Just take 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: us through a game that I had a little bit 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: of everything ultimately led to you guys getting two big 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: points in the standings. 6 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, you know, I thought we started well. 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't think we're great in the 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: second period and gave up a late goal. But I 9 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: really liked our response coming out in the third period 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: and making sure that we you know, continued and we 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: talk all the time about being on our toes and 12 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: what that means is we're you know, pushing north and 13 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 2: putting pressure on teams. And you know, if you look 14 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: at the cause and effect, which I do, you know, 15 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: Elie Tolvenen forces in icing and you know, face off later, 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 2: it's in the back of their net for our winning goals. 17 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: So you know, I love the fact that we didn't 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: sit back and kept on going north. 19 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Jared mccannon named NHL First Star of the Week. And 20 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: he's had some time missed with injury this season, but 21 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: now in the thirty games he's played, he's got points 22 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: in twenty one of those games. What have you made? 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: What you like about his game and how impressed are 24 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 1: you that he's able to do so much offensively given 25 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: the fact that he's missed a lot of time with injury. 26 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: Ah, well, you know what he's I think he's an 27 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: an elite offensive mind. I'm not surprised. He's franchises all 28 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: time leading scorer and point getter and has led the 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: team in scoring every year. You know, he just needed 30 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: to get back, get healthy and sort of catch the 31 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: moving train, so to speak, and I think he's done that. 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: You know, I'm impressed with this game. I'm impressed with 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 2: his poise and certainly you know, when he's able to 34 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: get his shot away, which you know he does, well, 35 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: it's a rocket, as we witnessed in Vegas on the 36 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: power Play. 37 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: He's talked a lot about playing with Matty Veneer's and 38 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: Jordan Eberley and how much they've meant to his game 39 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: and helped his game. What do you personally like about 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: that line in the group and that you've been able 41 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: to put together. 42 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: Well, I think you know, when we decided to finally 43 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: put them together, you know, we were thinking, you know, 44 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: how much balance we would have, But at the end 45 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: of the day, I think in order to get the 46 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: most out of those three guys, having them together makes 47 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: the most sense, and they've done a really good job 48 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: from that standpoint of proving that to be correct. 49 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: Both these games here tonight, Dan tomorrow against the Gags 50 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: are going to be huge. But looking at the standings, 51 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you're three points back at first, so it's 52 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: potentially this is the first place team going out of 53 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: the Olympic break. How do you keep that from maybe 54 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: creeping in a little bit to the dock room. I know, 55 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: we take things one day at a time, but two 56 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: big games coming up here this week. 57 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's so close that you know, you 58 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 2: can win a couple of games and be in first, 59 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: and lose a couple of games and be out of 60 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: the playoffs. So I just think from that standpoint, I 61 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: just think that it keeps everybody really grounded in terms 62 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: of where you're at, and you just have to keep 63 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: taking it one day at a time, one game at 64 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: a time, one period of time, and one shift at 65 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: a time, and that's what we'll that's what we'll do 66 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: as long as we, you know, put our best foot 67 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: forward and play the game we want to play, you know, 68 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: we'll see where the results go from there. 69 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Do you like that parody around the league or is 70 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: it a bit too nerve wracking? Do you wish it 71 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: wasn't the difference between two or three points means you're 72 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: in first or you're going golfing? 73 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: No, I mean I like it. I think it's I 74 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: think it's good for the for the league itself, and 75 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: I also like it for our hockey team. You know, 76 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: do I want to be ten points in first place? Sure, 77 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: but it's good for our hockey team. It's good for 78 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: our development of our young players as well. Meaningful games 79 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: or you can't put a price tag on playing meaningful games. 80 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: You know, once you're out of the playoffs and you're 81 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: playing those games that don't mean anything, they really don't 82 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: mean anything to me. You can score ten goals in 83 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: the last ten games when you're out of the playoffs 84 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: and you know it doesn't matter. You have to play 85 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: meaningful games. So this is good for our guys. 86 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: Last time these two teams met, you didn't like the 87 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: first forty minutes the crack and had a game sayta hi, 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: but you like the last twenty What lessons can you 89 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: take from that loss and apply here to some landscape. 90 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: Well, we just we just need to be better. It 91 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: was one of those games where I don't really think that, 92 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: you know, we were trying to be bad. It just 93 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: we kind of looked at each other a couple of 94 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: times on the benches coaches, and said, you know, what 95 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: are we doing. We just couldn't connect. We were not 96 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: in sync. It was it was really weird. Forty minutes 97 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: you know, we just have to be ready to go.
