1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Where you want to Thanks Mike Lane. Second game in 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: a row, the crack that have gotten a solid effort, 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: but unfortunately now for the sixth game in the row, 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: the results have gone the other way. Just take us 5 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: back through that effort against Minnesota two nights ago. 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: Well, like you said, I thought it was solid. I 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 2: didn't think we started the game. Well, there's no excuse 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 2: for that, you know, coming off of you know, the 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 2: losses that we had and coming out at home. I 10 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: thought our goaltender played very well. But then after that 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 2: I thought the game was extremely even you know, it 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: was going to be another one of those games like 13 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Detroit or even like Dallas at home where you know 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: someone was gonna put away an opportunity. You know, unfortunately 15 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: we failed to do so, you know, told the it 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: at the crossbar. We had a goal post. So, you know, 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: for the second game in a row at home, to 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: you know, come out of that game without any points 19 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 2: is really disheartening and stings and. 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: Sends the frustration from the captain Jordan Eberley after the 21 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: game saying that, you know, paraphrasing, he needs more, he 22 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: wants more will and passion from the players. You agreeing 23 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: with those comments postgame, Now that we've had a thirty 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: six hours to sit and marinate on that, just your 25 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: overall thoughts on what he said and the challenge that's 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: been laid down to this group. 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I agree with them, and I think 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: that there's certain guys that are, you know, able to 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: give us more how we let's put it that way. 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: And you know, we are a team that needs everyone going. 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: We've said that right from day one. And when we 32 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: don't have everyone going and we have a couple of passengers, 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: it makes us harder or makes it harder for this 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: hockey team to win hockey games. 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: You've played this game for a long time, You've coached 36 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: this game for a long time. Undoubtedly you've been in 37 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: slumps before. How do you pull yourself out of something 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: like this? 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: Uh? You just you have to stay positive. You have 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: to have the right mindset and be determined. You know, 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: nobody feels sorry for you. You can't feel sorry for yourself, 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: you know, And sometimes it gets better worse before it 43 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: gets better. It just it's the way it is. But 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: if you come in with the right mindset, you continue 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: to stay determined and you continue to believe in the process. 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: You know, for me, you'll get out of it. You know, 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: we have played very well this year. You know, our 48 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 2: first twenty games were really good. And you know, it's 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: not like we can't do it. We have to get 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: back to what we're doing and get back to our. 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Identity despite the dip in the season, right now the 52 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: crack and still within reaching distance of a playoff spot, 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot of hockey left to go, and two teams 54 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: coming up that are ahead of you in the standings 55 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: in LA and Utah starting tonight with the Los Angeles Kings, 56 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: like Seattle, very defensively structured, they're not going to give 57 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: up a whole lot. What type of game can we 58 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: expect when you essentially have you know, two strong defensive 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: teams going up against each other, Well, it's. 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 2: Going to be a game that is going to require 61 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: determination to get to the other team's net. They're a 62 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: big hockey team, they're built for size. You know, the 63 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: defenses is very big as well, So the battle is 64 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: going to be you know, at the paint. I don't 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 2: think you can expect, you know, to make a whole 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: bunch of tic tac toe plays. You've got to get 67 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: greasy and you've got to get pucks to the net. 68 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: That's just the way it's going to be. So I 69 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: would expect that type of game, and you know, you 70 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: have to stay patient in that and you know, not 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: come out of character or take too many risks because 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: that's what teams like us and teams like them are 73 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: looking for. And then you know you want to transition 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: and you know, take advantage of those opportunities. So be 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: a very very very very heavy challenging hockey game tonight. 76 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: It's the dads and mentors trips, So an opportunity for 77 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: the players to show their their dads, their mentor or 78 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: their uncles, whoever may be, that all of those six 79 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: am drive to the rink, we're worth it. At one point, 80 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: what does a trip like this mean for the players? 81 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: You yourself as a father, you know, all of that 82 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: that goes into showing that appreciation for the men who 83 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: helped get these guys to where they are now. 84 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: Well that's it, right, Like nobody would be here without 85 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: you know, their dads. And you know, some of those 86 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: that don't have you know, their dads with them anymore, 87 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: they have mentors and you know, so it's an honor. 88 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: I think it's honoring them, and you know, it's a 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: nice way to include them in their sons' lives and 90 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: the daily happenings of their lives. You know, we play 91 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: in their national hockey league. It's a privilege. It's the 92 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: best league in the world and we get treated very 93 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: very well. So it's nice for the dads and mentors 94 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: to come and be able to experience that. You know, 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: in the LA King's mothers are on this trip too, 96 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: so it's just everyone involved. It's it's really nice to 97 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: be able to, I guess quote unquote give back, but 98 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: really showed an appreciation for all the sacrifices that they've 99 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 2: made for for our guys to be here.
