Speaker 1: bicker Flower O.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: My well, Phil, I just want to kind of just

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: go back with this as a refresher. And I remember

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: a while back you mentioned guys like Olaf Colsey, Marc

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: Andre Fleury, how influential that they've been. What is it

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: that you admire about how they kept their careers active,

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: the older they got in, the more years that they

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: put up in this league.

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: I think they're the older you get, the herder it

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: becomes right, like you see the shift in the league

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: now versus like when when those guys play or Flowers

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: just retired, but like when oldie Colesey played right, the

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: game game was a little bit different, a little bit

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: more north south, and like now you have all this skill.

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: So definitely, I think it's a little bit harder now

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: because the trend of the league is turning a little

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: bit younger. So I think it's even harder to stay

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: in this league. But yeah, you got to keep your

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: body and your mind going and make sure you're on

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 3: top of your game and be the best version of

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 3: yourself and the gym and off the ice, and make

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: sure you prepare yourself one hundred percent to give one

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: hundred percent out there on the ice.

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: That's a great point because they often say that it

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: is getting faster, especially in the last few years. So

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: how much has that affected your conditioning and how much

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: you know yoga and stretching that you're going through adding

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: on here for a routine basis.

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: It's not so much like the yoga stuff and the conditioning.

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: It's more like, how can you change your game? Do

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: you need to play as aggressive as like is it?

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: What does the situation like give you can be a

37
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: little bit more patient? Can you back up? Can you

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: gain or like grab a little bit more ice? Sometimes

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: it's it's not so much like off the ice, it's

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: more so on the ice.

41
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: What do people need to know about a goalie, coach

42
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: and a guy like on Zulianello that they can't usually

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: see on a usual basis.

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: Well, we watch a lot of film, right, we watch

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: a lot of like we go out, have goalie eyes.

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Every day we.

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: Work on small little details that make maybe a huge

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: difference in the game. So Zuli has been awesome. He's

49
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: been awesome at communicating and then us know we have

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: three goalies to see, it's a unique situation. So I

51
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: think like he's he's done an unbelievable job love communicating

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: with us with what's going on. And then it's it's

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 3: pretty interesting because you got to find time to get

54
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: like enough shots in practice if you're not playing right.

55
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: So he's done a great job for us.

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: In what way has he been a good communicator?

57
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: Well, just in terms of what's going on, like how

58
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: what the plan is for the next next game? Right,

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: like Matt is unfortunately injured, but like if you're three goalies,

60
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: like what the rotation would look like who's playing right?

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: So it's been been good.

62
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: What's the best piece of advice that a coach ever

63
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: gave you about a game day routine?

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: Now you put me on the spot. It's just so

65
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: many different different Yeah, I don't know. I couldn't pin

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: point one. Every every coach has like different philosophy. So

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: lastly it was a little bit more do whatever you

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: need to do is to stop the puck. Uh they

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: see it's a little bit more detail oriented and uh yeah,

70
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: in the end, we're just playing a game. We're playing

71
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: a game to entertain in the end, like it's it's

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: not yes, it's our lives, but there's more to it

73
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: than than hockey.

74
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: How much have you admired the fan base and how

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: much they have really gripped on through about five years

76
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: in Seattle.

77
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: It's been amazing. I mean, like Seattle is known for

78
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: their sports, and even seeing the women's women's game here

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: last week or this week sold out, it's amazing. That

80
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: speaks for the fans and speaks for for Crack and

81
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: fans like how they supported us, and uh yeah, it's

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: it was seemed like in the playoffs we drew attention

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: and more and more people started to watch and enjoy hockey,

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: and it was amazing feeling like seeing that from the city.

85
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: It's being a.

86
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: Little busier these days now with the PWHL team. They're

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: real and they've got residents not too far away, just

88
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: down the hallway. What were your initial impressions of watching

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: them when they first started up.

90
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's amazing, like speaks for Seattle, like it's what

91
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: we're missing. I think we're just missing an NBA team now,

92
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: but like you have almost every major sports in the

93
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: city and such amazing fan base and seeing the women's

94
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: move into the building and filling that place is like

95
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: it's crazy. It's super specially and gives girls in the

96
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: area around us like an opportunity that they can play

97
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: more than just like college hockey.

98
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: If I can go further outside the glass on this one,

99
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: what's the craziest bus ride that you've ever taken in

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: the minor leagues coming up or back in the OHL

101
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: My first road trip.

102
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: And I got when I played in the East Coast

103
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: League when I was eighteen nineteen. It was a nineteen

104
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: day bus trip. I didn't know back then like what

105
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: and how the schedule and how everything would look like

106
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 3: I've never been down there. Nobody really said anything, but

107
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: I got down there. We left Charleston, South Carolina, eleven PM,

108
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: drove through the night, got to the next city at

109
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: like nine thirty in the morning, had a little breakfast

110
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: at the rings, skated for morning skate. And it was

111
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: a nineteen day. We did this almost like every day.

112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: Drove through the night, slept on the bus, and then

113
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: played the next day and then left the city again.

114
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: So I think that was one of the most memorable moments.

115
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: I didn't I was a rookie back then, so I

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 3: didn't have my own bed on the bus, so I

117
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: was just sleeping on the front of us like setting

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: up the whole night. Not that I ever want to

119
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: do that again, but that was the most memorable part

120
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: for me.

121
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: I think guys who tried to actually manufacture their own

122
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: cot to the very back of the bus back at

123
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: the EHL days, what's the most creative way that you've

124
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: seen the guy try to get a good nine sleep

125
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: on the bus.

126
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean guys bring like their own like phone pads

127
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: and like pillows and stuff. There's some guys who played

128
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: like cards, and even our team, like we have like

129
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: a six hour flight from Tampa or somewhere in New

130
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: York back to Seattle, and guys are just playing like

131
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: cards all the time. So I don't know those guys

132
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: can do it, but yeah, you get creative, like definitely

133
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: with cardboards and phone pads and trying to fill the

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 3: space so I can get a little comfortable there.

135
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: Finally, I want to get onto this last part where

136
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: your heart is a lot off the ice. What's the

137
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: updates so far on safe these days? And the money

138
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: raise as well, it's been amazing.

139
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: They bought a new place, which is pretty cool. They

140
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: can call the new facility to own. They're not renting anymore.

141
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: They're moving up to Malpi, so that's that's amazing. A

142
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: little bit more space, a little bit more opportunity to

143
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: take on more horses if the need is there, and

144
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: it's it's been a pleasure helping and getting the word

145
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: out and just being there whenever I have a free

146
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: time and can be there and like help out and

147
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: talk to people there, and so it's been amazing that

148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,160
