1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike here with Lane Lambert Lane. Following a four 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: nothing lost to Edmonton back on Saturday, you get the 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: same team here again tonight. What's the process of going 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: through that game? Is it one of those things where 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: you flush it? Do you look back and say, we 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: can take one or two things away from it? Do 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: you do a deep dive into Saturday's game? What's the 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,119 Speaker 1: process of moving on from that one and preparing for 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: the oilers for a second time in a row. 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. You do a deep dive, 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: and you don't overthink it because there's certain situations that 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: if you just, you know, win a one on one battle, 13 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: then you know, A doesn't need to B to C 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: to D and all of a sudden you're in your 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: zone for seven and a half minutes in the game. 16 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 2: You know, So you take a little bit of consideration 17 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: of that, but you do you do a deep dive. 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: There's certain adjustments that I think we can make, you know, 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: and do a better job on some of the things 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: that we were supposed to do good. We didn't, so 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: we just have to be better. 22 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: Today. Let me talk talk a lot about special teams, 23 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: the power play of the PK recently when you're seeing 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: struggles on those units, What are the things that you 25 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: can do to try and foster chemistry to have more success. 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: Is it as simple as just more practice time trying 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: to force that proverbial square peg into the round hole 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: or is there more that you can you can do 29 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: and you want to see from this group? 30 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: Well, look at I think that you know, there's no 31 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 2: question the practice time is going to help out. There's 32 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: no question that film is going to help out. But 33 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: it's also a matter of our guys executing what, you know, 34 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: what needs to be executed. It's not like we haven't 35 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 2: been you know, schooled in certain situations. You know, from 36 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: a penalty killing standpoint, when things get chaotic, you have 37 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: to have the wherewithal to not try and rush over 38 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: and do somebody else's job, you know, And part of 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: that comes a little bit with experience, and part of 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: that is you know, working on it in practice as 41 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: well and doing repetitions, so that part of it we 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: need to get better at. There's no question about it. 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: And you know, from a power place townpoint, our power 44 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: play has been good. It's one of some hockey games 45 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: I think for us, it's a matter of looking back, 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: what were we doing then? What are we doing now? 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: And to be honest with you, you know, we had 48 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: twelve shots on goal the other day and you know, 49 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: I know it didn't go in, but I would be 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: a lot more worried if we had, you know, five 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: or six power plays and we didn't get any shots 52 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: on goal. And that's happened in the past of teams 53 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: as well, But that hasn't happened or it's not happening here. 54 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: So you just got to stick with it. 55 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: How do you stem the oh lord, here we go 56 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: again from coming into the bench when you're going on 57 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: the power play or when your facing the PK. 58 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: Well, you just have to man up. You know, it's 59 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: professional hockey. It's a national hockey league. It's the best 60 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: league in the world. And the players in the in 61 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: the league are the best players in the world. And 62 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: nothing's easy. If it was easy, everybody be doing it. 63 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: And it's not. 64 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: And so you have to, you know, like I said, 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: you have to man up and go out there with confidence. 66 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: You've come off of a pretty good lull in the schedule, 67 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: three games essentially in the last twelve ish days. A 68 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: lot of times, a lot of time to work in 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: practice and work on things you want to work on. 70 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: But now you begin a stretch of eleven games and 71 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: twenty one days, what are going to be some of 72 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: the big lessons you've taken from this time off and 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: what are those goals moving forward through this now pretty 74 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: chaotic chunk of the schedule. 75 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well we've got you know, we've had a chance 76 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: to sort of reset a little bit and work on 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: some things that we feel like we needed to work on, 78 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: you know, continue to grow and build our identity, you know, 79 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: and we know this this stretch coming up is extremely difficult. 80 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: We have very good hockey teams obviously that we're playing against, 81 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: you know, So for us, it's just take it one 82 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: game at a time and stay focused. You know, it's 83 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: the time of the year where Christmas is coming, your 84 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: families are in There's all kinds of distractions out there, 85 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: and you have to keep away from the distractions and 86 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: just pay attention to your job. And you know, once 87 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: December twenty fourth comes, let's see where we are. 88 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: So with the Amazon oilers coming now for a second 89 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: game in a row, do you feel that this gives 90 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: you in particular an advantage knowing what you need to 91 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: improve on from game one on Saturday to. 92 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: Now, Well, I think, you know, I think if you 93 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: can make some adjustments and their positive adjustments, which we 94 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: feel like we can, you know, it helps us certainly, 95 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: you know. But I also think that we have to 96 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: execute things that we already knew going into the first game, 97 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: or we have to execute those things better, because you know, 98 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: I don't think we executed those things well enough against 99 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: this hockey team. And I'm looking forward to the game tonight.
