Man. 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: I think I'm from Minnesota originally. I do want to 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: get your take on this. To me, it seems like 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: to the outsiders, the Caps fan base is so slept on, 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: and I didn't realize it until I moved here that 14 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: the Caps faithful are maybe the most loyal fan base 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: in the league. Did you have that same kind of 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: experience when you first started here a year ago? 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, I didn't know what to expect, obviously, coming 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: from Vegas and coming to DC and being here for 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: a year now and this kind of just kind of 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: where I live walking around people people recognize you, people 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: say hi. You know, people will you come up and 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: just you know, hope you have a great seat or 23 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: I hope you have a good season. You had a 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: great season last year. Really friendly and they're die hard, 25 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: they're passionate. That's just credit to Obe and you know 26 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: what he's done in this to be for a long time. 27 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: And credit to the fats here that you know, love 28 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: the sport and love the team. 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of Ob, it's got to be a positive and 30 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: negative to practice against the greatest goalscorer of all time, 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: because number one, you're going against the best. But to 32 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: I gotta imagine, even underneath thirty pounds of pads, the 33 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: ob Slav shot cannot feel great as goalie. 34 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 2: No, it's it's obviously a privilege to play with him 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: and then call him a teammate. But yeah, practically practicing 36 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: against them sometimes is always u funest. 37 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: I do think too hockey players internally, swag is a 38 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: big thing when it comes to hockey. When you see 39 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: yourself on the big screen during the game, do you 40 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: try to like, hell, yeah, did I look dope? Or 41 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: if they replay a big save, do you get hyped 42 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,639 Speaker 1: to watching it on the big screen. 43 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously it's a big saver or something. 44 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Broad. 45 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: When they assume it on you after a goal, you're 46 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: just like, can'tra out like any such a thing. So 47 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 2: it's kind of it's fifty to fifty. It's a really 48 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 2: good or really bad. 49 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this. Obviously one of the 50 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: best seasons I think you have Last year was fantastic. 51 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: As far as frustrations, obviously, be a goalie, goals happen. 52 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: What's more annoying giving up a goal or losing your 53 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: keys in the morning? 54 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: Give give it up a goal? Give it up a 55 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: goal that's heading down is more frustrating, especially when you're 56 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: you know, a visitor on a rink and the horns 57 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: blaring off and all the fans are laughing at you. 58 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: It's just definitely frustrating. 59 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: How about giving up a goal or forgetting your password 60 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: to like Netflix, something like that, having to create a 61 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: new password and it tells you you can't use the 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: old password. 63 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: I gotta say, still giving up a goal and nothing 64 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: to wear nowhere feeling okay? 65 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: How about forgetting the wallet? Still getting up a goal? 66 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm assimming, Still getting up a goal. 67 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: I gotta I got, I can pay off my phone. 68 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: There we go. And so as far as pregame rituals, 69 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: we've had Tom Wilson on the show before, we've had 70 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: tj Oshi on the show before. Goalies are different breed. 71 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: Uh for you, Let's say seven o'clock puck drop, what's 72 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: your day look like. 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: O'clock puck drop? You know, I'm usually at the rink 74 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: in the morning for a morning skate, you know, grab 75 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: my my lunch from our our team chef, and be 76 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 2: home around noon. I'll probably just hang out and take 77 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: a nap from from like one to the two thirty 78 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: three ish, and then you wake up the rank and 79 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: be at the rink by you know, three forty five 80 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: and from there. Yeah, just just doing a quick little 81 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: you know, pre game workout, warming up, getting ready for 82 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: the seven o'clock game. Just just find a ways to 83 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: just stay loose. Yeah. 84 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: Well, I like about your story talking to Logan Thompson, 85 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: goalie the Capitals. You went undrafted in the draft, you 86 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: signed with Vegas, eventually asked for a trade, and then 87 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: obviously proved to be correct. You really did bet on yourself. 88 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you knew you could be a starting goalie 89 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: and you could carry the workload. How much did last 90 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: year feel good personally to be like, yeah, I knew 91 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: I was that guy or I could be that guy. 92 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. It was you. It was exciting. I was happy 93 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: and really thankful for the opportunity that you know, Washington 94 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: gave me and Carbs, the team and the management belief 95 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,119 Speaker 2: shown in me. And yeah, it was definitely a step 96 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: in the right direction for me, I think, and the 97 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: team of the Washington Capitals. But you know, obviously I'm 98 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: happy with it, but you know, I think there's still 99 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: a lot more that we can do improve around this 100 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: league and more I want to you know, it was 101 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: a step in the right direction, but still a lot 102 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 2: more work to be done. 103 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: You know, I coach high school hockey here at Georgetown Prep, 104 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of pressure, I think on youth 105 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: nowadays to focus on one sport early on. You're obviously 106 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: playing at the highest level professional hockey. Growing up, did 107 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: you play more sports than chess hockey or his hockey 108 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: kind of your solo? 109 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: Dollo hockey was my solo. My My dad was very 110 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: much that mentality that, you know, hockey's your sport, You're 111 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: sticking with it as much as I want to play 112 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: other sports, and still too to this day.
