1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: All right, Andrews, thank you very much. Back now with 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Crack and I coach Lane, Lambert and Lane. First off, 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: you coach in this building a ton here from the 4 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: other side. What's the meaning for you and these guys 5 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: to compete in this environment? 6 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: It's a cool building, original six City, Original six building, 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, it's beautiful. You just have to 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: take a look at the ceiling to be like, oh, 9 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 2: this is pretty special. And it doesn't matter how many 10 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: times you've been in here, you know, you still feel 11 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: that you know, and it's the New York Rangers. It's 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 2: it's a special, special feeling when you come in here. 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: It's one place here for game two of a five 14 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: game road trip and just kind of going through all 15 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: this here with travel. I mean, you coach in the East, 16 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: You've coached now in the West. How different is that 17 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: one conference versus the other when it comes to managing travel, 18 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: practice time in much more. 19 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's harder here in this conference for sure, with 20 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: the travel the time changes. I feel like, you know, 21 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 2: our season here is kind of runs in blocks of 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: you know, five at home, five on the road, six 23 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: at home, six on the road, and you know it 24 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: presents it's fair challenges doing that. Certainly, you know, with 25 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: the travel and the time change, you have a lot 26 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: less practice time available to you than you do if 27 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: you're you know, say playing here or when I was 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: with the Islanders or the Washington Capitals. You're you know, 29 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 2: playing a road game and you're back in your own 30 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: bed by twelve thirty kind of things. So there certainly 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: is a little bit of a different challenge here, and 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 2: I think it's harder out in the West. 33 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Against Carolina, you had nobody that less than eleven minutes 34 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: of ice time in that game. So when you look 35 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: at the forwards that you can put out there, what 36 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: advantage is there when it comes to spreading ice time 37 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: out here amongst this group. 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: Well, we're in a schedule here where we're playing seventeen 39 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: games this month. You know, we've played a few of 40 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: them already. We've got to manage and and sort of 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: divvy up the ice time, and that's where you know, 42 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: we've had a good sort of response from our fourth line. 43 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: We were able to trust them, put them out in 44 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: defensive situations, and you know, so we're gonna have to 45 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: keep with that trend because with all the games that 46 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: we play and all the travel that we're doing. You know, 47 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: you can't overextend too many guys. 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Anybody has scored one of the more prettier goals that 49 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: we've seen recently, and against a very high end top 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: defender and Jacob's slave, and he seems confident. But to you, 51 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: how high is it and how far along is he 52 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: coming here with this complete game? 53 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: Well, I just think he's getting better and better. You know, 54 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: he was already good coming in here, and I didn't 55 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: know him like I know him now. I hadn't seen 56 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 2: him more than once or twice a year. But when 57 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: you watch him every day, you realize and understand what 58 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: kind of player he is, you know, and he's he's, 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: I guess, a more complete player than I thought coming 60 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: in here. It's been a real nice experience, I guess, 61 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: so to speak, to see him and see him evolve 62 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: from that standpoint. He's a two high foot guy that 63 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: puts as much emphasis on defenses as he does offense, 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: and that's exactly what you want out of a guy 65 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: who is kind of a cornerstone and a leader for 66 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: the franchise. 67 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: This evening, he has a little bit of extra for 68 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: guys like Coppocco and Ryan Lindgren back now in New 69 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: York City. Where do you define their value at this 70 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: point of the season. 71 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: Ah, huge, you know Lindy is I mean, he just 72 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: gives us ali grid all the time. He's a strong 73 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: penalty killer, strong in defensive situations. He's a guy, he's 74 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: sneaky good offensively too. He finds his way into certain 75 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: areas that you know, you don't think maybe he's going 76 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: to find his way into, but he does. And you know, 77 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: I think what he brings for our hockey team as 78 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: an element to leadership just through example. He's not a 79 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: vocal guy, but he certainly does does a lead through example. 80 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: And you know, Coppo had a tough start the season. 81 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: We've talked many times about him trying to catch the 82 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: moving train. I think he's caught it, you know, and 83 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: we're looking forward to having him, you know, stay healthy 84 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: for the rest of the year here and see where 85 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: that takes us. But certainly an exciting time for those 86 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: two guys. 87 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: Rangers might have a little bit of extra juice after 88 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: the game that they went through a couple of days ago. 89 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: You've seen them once. What does round two hold as 90 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: far as what you want out of your guys. 91 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: Well, they're they're gonna have extra juice. I mean, they're 92 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: gonna want to have a response after what would be 93 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: I guess an embarrassing loss. We would all feel the 94 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: same way, so you know, sometimes these things happen. But certainly, 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: you know, they've got a very good hockey team over there. 96 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: The first time we played them, there wasn't much space 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: out there. It's a tight game. They're very good defensively, 98 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: even though you wouldn't think so the other night they are. 99 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: And you know, and they've got some world class players 100 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: been Aaron is great. Obviously it's been a jat and 101 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 2: you know Miller is you know, these are three guys 102 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: here that are as good as anybody in the league basically, 103 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: So you know they've got that talent level there. So 104 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to be ready.
