1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Thanks, Mike Lane. We talk a lot about the vets 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: on this team, the Schwartzes and the McCanns and the Everlas, 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: but a lot lately it has been centered around the 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: younger players. Not only that four flyne, but Berkeley Catton's 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: been getting a number of great A scoring chances. It 6 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: seems like it's a matter of time before he gets 7 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: his first goal. Cale Fleury has come in and I say, 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: he's a young guy's got over two hundred games in 9 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: the league, but he's been playing well. What have you 10 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: liked about the younger players, these draft picks that are 11 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: now starting to come up and make their presence known 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: in the NHL. 13 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's important, certainly for any organization, and 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 2: in particular organization, to have our young guys come up 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 2: and contribute. What I've liked about them as they've added spark, 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: with added energy and all the while we're developing on 17 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: the fly to a certain degree, you know, and they're 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: getting better and better. You know, each segment, I guess, 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: if you want to call it that, each game of understanding. 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: You know what it takes to play in this league, 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: what it takes to win in this league. It's a 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: different league than anyone's ever been to and ever seen. 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: And you know they're doing a good job of sort 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 2: of developing into that and their energy has been much 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: needed for our hockey team. 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: I guess. Sticking with that, do you put any added 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: pressure or responsibility on those veteran players, the Everlys and 28 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: the Duns and the Larcens, the Schwartzes to help bring 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: those guys along to mentor or do you just see 30 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: that as a natural way with those guys. 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: Well, that's a joy of having what I would call 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: good leadership and good people and good character people. Is 33 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: they are really doing it organically, you know, certainly we 34 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: talk about that, but you know they're good bettering guys 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: that I think, and you always remember how you came up, 36 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure that you know, Jordan Eberley when 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: he was a youngster, had somebody mentor him, you know 38 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: when he remembers that. So I think they're doing a 39 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: really good job of bringing those guys along into the 40 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: group and certainly into the league and having them understand 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: what it takes. 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: Big win last night in Calgary five to one, four 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: goals in the third period. It was a milestone night 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: for Everly and for Jacob Malonson, Shane Wright gets a 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: goal on his birthday, So happiness all around. Just take 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: us through that full team performance from your side. 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: Well, I think it started with our goaltender. I didn't 48 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: hate our game in the first two periods, but I 49 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 2: didn't like it either. I thought that Grooby played very 50 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: very well and gave us an opportunity to have a 51 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: good third period. And I thought in the third period, 52 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: we as a hockey team played very well. We were 53 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: sound solid, and our offense was piggybacked off our defense 54 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: and our good structural play. 55 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: On this eight game point streak that you guys are 56 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: currently on, you've got four, three or four goals in 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: seven of those eight games, and you've allowed one or 58 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: two goals in seven of those eight games. What have 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: you liked about your systems, about the gameplay, the buy 60 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: in over the stretch. 61 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: I think we've been more playing a little bit more 62 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: on our toes. And when I say that, I mean, 63 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: you know, pushing forward or you know, if we are 64 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: coming back towards our zone, we're angling better. We're not 65 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: backing up. One of the things that we sure don't 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: like to see is forward skating backwards through the neutral zone. 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: It just pushes our defense back, takes away our gaps 68 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: and then you know, you give up the lines too easily. 69 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: So I think we've done a much better job of that. 70 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: I have to really credit our goalies as well. They've 71 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: done a great job. They've made saves when we've needed 72 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: them to make saves. And I think our penalty killing, 73 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: our power play has you know, stepped up at the 74 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: right times, and certainly our penalty kills a lot better 75 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: than it was in the first you know, twenty five 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: games or whatever. 77 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: You got Boston here tonight a little bit more of 78 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: a difficult test against a team you only see twice 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: a year, so there's not really a whole lot of 80 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: recent seed to go off of. But when you look 81 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: at Boston, big team, good power play, David Pashuak, you 82 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: always have to rely and look out for him. Where 83 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: do you see the potential pitfalls tonight for Seattle and 84 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: how can you overcome those challenges? 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: Well, we have to be solid in understanding what we 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: need to do. You know, they're a team that plays 87 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: a little bit patient. I guess I would say they 88 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: play a lot like La. Their coach came from LA's 89 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: organization's a lot of similarities to the way the LA 90 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: Kings play right now, and so there's not a lot 91 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: of ice out there. There's not a lot of free 92 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: space defensively for the most part, and then they can 93 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 2: transition and you know, I eighty eight's in the top 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: handful of players in the league. You know, he just 95 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: finds a way year after year to get it done. 96 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: Their special teams are good, their power plays fourth in 97 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: the league. So we have to stay out of the box, 98 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: you know, for middle of an opponent for sure, and 99 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: one that I know very well having been over in 100 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: Eastern Conference for so long and played them in the 101 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: playoffs a couple of times and all that. You know, 102 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: that's a very familiar hockey team for me. 103 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: How can you use that experience your experience here tonight. 104 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: Well, that's just a little bit of individual stuff. Again, 105 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: the coaching has changed, the systems have changed a little 106 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: bit for them, So there's differences there. But you know, 107 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 2: just some individual tendencies from guys like macavoy who or 108 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: you know, guys like Pasternak, you know those guys Zaka 109 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: as well. Chris Taylor coached him in New Jersey, so 110 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: there's some individual tendencies that you can look into and 111 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: maybe give guys a little bit of a heads up, 112 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: But you know, the team has changed a little bit 113 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: in terms of, you know, how they play.
