1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike klaan big win last night for one at 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: home against Nashville. You pushed that point street to six games. 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: What went right in your opinion for your group. 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: Oh, we had a good start, which was nice to see. 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 2: You know. We came out of the gates and got 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: a lead, played pretty well with the lead for the 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: most part. You know, you find that in this league 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: when you're up two or three, the team that's behind, 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: as as a rule of thumb, doesn't really have anything 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: to lose at that point, so they're pretty loose, you know. 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 2: So I thought we were very committed in you know, 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: taking care of our own zone and blocking shots and 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: things like that when we were up to protect the lead. 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: Nashville on this backen of a back to back, they 15 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: had some spurts and when they got their first goal, 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: it seemed like their only goal that next shift or 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: two for them. They had a bit of momentum going. 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: What was the mindset on the bench about quelling a 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: potential upstart from them, especially for a team that was 20 00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: desperate like they weren't. 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we knew that we had to manage the pocket, 22 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: you know, and just play smart. And I thought that 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: there was a period of time where they started to 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: win more battles than us and which put us under duress. 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: We rectified that a little bit, but certainly, you know, 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: I think we can be better with that lead, and 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: we haven't had one of those leads for a while, 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 2: so it was a good learning experience for us. 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: I know you haven't been asked about the fourth line 30 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: in probably about twelve hours, So let me ask you 31 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: about the fourth line once again. Someone I heard the 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: other day called them the identity line for this team. 33 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: And when you when you want a team to play well, 34 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: that those are the three guys that you're looking at. 35 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: What did you like about their performance two points in 36 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: that first period and again continually leading the charge and 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: seemingly leading the way in terms of playing the game 38 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: the way that you want to see it played. 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh. You see that a lot of a 40 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: fourth lines. That's, in my opinion, is the way to 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: build a hockey team. You have to have an identity line, 42 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: a fourth line that can go out there and do 43 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: the dirty things for you, and you're also trusting them 44 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: in the defensive zone for defensive zone face us, which 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: is very important tonight. You know, in order for us 46 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: to be able to put out Benier's line or rights 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: line or Stevenson's line in the offensive zone all the time, 48 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: we have to curb some of those minutes when they 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 2: face office down in our zone. So that's why it's 50 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: very important to have a responsible fourth line. Certainly, you know, 51 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: these guys have energy, they're banging bodies and they're just 52 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: playing the game the right way. 53 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: Found out earlier today that Coppolo, Coaco and Ellie Tolvenin 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: will be joining Philip Grubauer representing their respective countries, Finland 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: and Germany in the upcoming Olympics. What's it like for 56 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: you to have three Olympians now on your team? A 57 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: little bit of a feather in your cap to be 58 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: able to say that, Hey, I help coached up a 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: couple of Olympians and what do they mean to this 60 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: team moving forward? 61 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: Well, those guys have been coached up well before me. 62 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: You're a part of it, though you play a big 63 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: part of it. 64 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: I will tell you that. You know, from an organizational standpoint, 65 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's a really nice thing to have. You know, 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: starts right at the top with management, so you know, 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: and these guys, uh, you know, to your point, it's 68 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: a feather in their cap. They're obviously super excited about it, 69 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: and it's an opportunity for them to go compete against 70 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: the best in uh, you know, the best tournament. Uh 71 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: we have right now, best on best kind of thing. 72 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: Then you get another kick at the Vancouver can after 73 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: a three to shootout loss back on Monday, in a 74 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: game in which you said it yourself, you felt the 75 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: team played very well. You were happy with that performance 76 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: for you, Is it a simple manner of rinse and 77 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: repeat with with the effort here tonight? 78 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: We'd like to do that. Yeah, I thought we played 79 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: well enough to win the hockey game, and we didn't. 80 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: I thought their goaltender was really good. You know, but we, uh, 81 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: we have to make sure that we take that formula, 82 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: continue to attack, continue to stay on our toes, and 83 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: continue to push the push the envelope north, be smart. 84 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: It's a back to back for us. Uh. You know, 85 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: we're gonna need Joey to play well and have him 86 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: you know, move box for us as well. So you know, 87 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: it's a good challenge for us.
