00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: Now we have been through this before, but there's always

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: a door open to change your mind. Give me three

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,680

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360

Speaker 2: school players or it can be old school too.

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 4: All right, well, I probably have to start a d Hayscannen.

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably one of the best finished demonds, probably

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: tem Oslani and bark Up.

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: All you had to do is feed team of Sloni

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: all day, right, yeah, seas upper corner. You have two brothers.

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: When's the last time you had a chance to play

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: a game with them as first pick up?

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Not all us three together, but uh, I got a

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: chance to play against my middle brother World Championship last year.

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: Uh. He was in Austria national team, so that was

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: pretty cool.

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: You had a chance to sit together for nearly half

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: a year in the same room together. What's the funniest

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: thing that you've ever heard Coppocaco say? Oh boy, there's

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: plenty of them.

40
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, there is. I don't know where it started.

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean kind of living with him, uh when he

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: got here, and right now he's living with us too,

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: so it's every day, you know, he comes up with

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: something crazy. Either he's in Finnish or not that much

45
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: in English, but in Finnish.

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: He's he's a hilarious guy.

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: But I don't think there's just the one thing that

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: you know, he's just one of those goofy guys.

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: What do you admire about Coppo Coco as a roommate, Well,

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: I feel.

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: Like he takes care of himself pretty well.

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: You know, he's always, you know when he's living with us,

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: you know, always trying to help, you know, even if

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: it's during dinner or doing dishes, all like all that stuff.

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: And it's pretty cool.

56
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: You know, his couple years younger, but he still has

57
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 3: that you know mindstitute that he wants to help.

58
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: And we're still a few months away. But what would

59
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 2: a trip to the Olympics mean for you both?

60
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, it would be a dream come true.

61
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: I feel like everybody once playing the Olympics, and of

62
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: course for the team Finland for us, you know, Field's

63
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: a little smaller country, so there's a maybe a better

64
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: chance to make it. But yeah, it would have been

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: It would be awesome. You know, it's it would be

66
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: not bit of hockey and you know, first time really

67
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: putting the jersey on with you know, every NHL player

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: on it.

69
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Now you get to this part of your career, you

70
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: have a lot of money here to spend and try

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: to take care of yourself. And it also means what

72
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: you wear here on a nightly basis to the game.

73
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: What's the one teammate that you admire for his elite

74
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: suit game?

75
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: I know, I gotta go right now. I feel like

76
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: Kubar has some nice suits. Vince Done, I feel like

77
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: he always has nice fading suits.

78
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: So what's the most important attire for you on and

79
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: off day? Is a sweatpants? Is a sweatshirt? Is a

80
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: golf shirt? Pants?

81
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: No shorts?

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: Shorts?

83
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I always wear at house and even

84
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: when it's kind of chilly outside, when you know you

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: go to the course here run, I always have my shorts on.

86
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: So it's at crazy, but yeah, I couldn't live without

87
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: my shorts.

88
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: Let's go back to last season here for a little bit.

89
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: Last time you cracked twenty goals was in a different league.

90
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: Where do you feel you've grown most in your game

91
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: over the last six years?

92
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: Just overall game. I feel like.

93
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: Defensive game and take a big step in a better

94
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: direction overall. You know, physicality, you know battle readiness. I

95
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,279
Speaker 3: think that's that's a key factor.

96
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: On that too.

97
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: And you know when you play play good all around hockey,

98
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: you get more going chances and you get the opportunity

99
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: to offensively.

100
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: Do we talk a lot about your shot as a

101
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: vital part of your game. Defensively, that's a big part

102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: as well, and it's something that's always gotten a lot

103
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: of credit. But what's the most important thing a coach

104
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: ever told you about playing on the defensive side of

105
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: the puck.

106
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's something one thing, but you know,

107
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: growing up kind of wanted to be the offensive guy,

108
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: and you know, some situations they're like, you've got to

109
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: be more le reliable and not defensively if you want

110
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: to play on the last last couple of minutes of

111
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: the game. So I think those things just a little

112
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: mindsets that you know, it's not always West quring, just

113
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: having the team.

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: New coach, some new teammates as well. For this year,

115
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: where do you want the mindset of this team to

116
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: be all year round?

117
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: A playoffs for sure? I think, you know, start with

118
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: the camp. I think we just have to have the

119
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: mindset that, you know, we'd have to bring the playoff

120
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: hockey back, and you know, I think the last couple

121
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: of years it has been a kind of a step back.

122
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: But I feel like they might just have to be

123
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: there that you know, we want to play for something

124
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: in April and June.

125
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: The mindset is there. Ellie, appreciate you as always, Thank you,
