1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Lane. Last night you pick up the point

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: in Jersey. But after the game your comments last night,

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: felt that there was a lot left on the table

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: for this cracking team. What did you make of last

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: night's performance?

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just overall, you know, there was some good

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: parts of it, and you know, I just thought we

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 2: weren't as sharp as we should have been. I feel

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: like the game was there for the taking.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, we.

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: Almost had it, but almost doesn't cut it. And you know,

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: I just felt like we needed to be more focused,

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: more sharp in what we were doing and playing our game.

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: I didn't think we played fast enough.

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: Both you and Vince done commenting on it, You would

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: have liked the team to play a little bit more north,

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: a little bit more offensive pace last night. Outside of that,

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: what are some of the other areas you felt the

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: team could improve on and how do you make those

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: adjustments here for tonight?

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: Well, I thought we were very committed in our zone,

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: and we needed to be because we spend a lot

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: of time there, you know, spend more time there than

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: we have recently. So let's give our guys credit for

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: you know, blocking shots, protecting the inside. Our goaltender played

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: another great game when we needed him too, you know.

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: But if if you know, if there's one thing that

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: we need to do, we need to spend less time

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: in our zone, which means we need to close quicker,

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: we need to get bucks back quicker, and we need

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: to exit our zone quicker. That will help with our

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: offensive game because a lot of times, when you spend

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: too much time in your zone, you're just getting the

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: puck out, you're changing, and then they're coming right back

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: at you, and it just becomes a vicious cycle.

36
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: McCann, right and Katon have been playing some really good

37
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: hockey as of way. They've gotten some good opportunities. What

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: have you liked about that trio?

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: Well, I like their speed, I like their offensive ability.

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm watching Jared mccannon play hockey here

41
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: more and more, you know, and just really growing an

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: appreciation for his game and the intelligen just as he

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: has he continues to help those guys. But those guys

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: are also coming along, so you know, they're creating some

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: opportunities that we're going to need their legs tonight.

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned this morning that it sounds like Montour could

47
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: be a game time decision here tonight what have you

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: missed with him out of the lineup in the event

49
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that he does go in, And what are you looking

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: for in terms of the energy in this part that

51
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: he can bring.

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think that you know, he can bring certainly

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: bring an element of skating, transporting, moving pucks. Obviously he

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: jumps into the play. He creates another dynamic of offense

55
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: for us. You know, from a defensive standpoint, we're looking

56
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: for him to be solid defensively as well.

57
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: Last time these two teams met in Seattle, you picked

58
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: up the win over Boston in a game and saw

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Berkeley cat and get his first two goals in the

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: NHL playing them so quickly since that last meeting, what

61
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: can you draw on from that game to help with

62
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: tonight's contest And what do you feel the Bruins provide

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: in terms of a challenge for Seattle.

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Well, they're very good, really, they're very good defensively. You know,

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: we scored seven goals against him when we're capitalizing our opportunities,

66
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: and you know, I don't think that's going to be

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: the same thing here tonight. They've given up nine goals

68
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: in the seven games other than the one we played them,

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: So they're six, one and one in their last eight.

70
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: They've got two shutouts in a row. You know, they've

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: given up nine goals in seven games. They're playing well.

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: You know, we've got to prepare for a game of

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: patients because they're very patient through the neutral zone. They

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: looked at transition and attacked and they've got again, for me,

75
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: a player that is a dynamic hockey player that's one

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: of the best in the league.

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Astronak.

78
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: He proved that in Seattle, you know, with a couple

79
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: of goals, and we've got to make sure that we

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: deal with him and take care of him as best

81
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: we've possibly can.

82
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: You've coached szadane O Chara, You've coached against sadane O Chara.

83
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: This morning you said he's probably one of your favorite

84
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: hockey players you've ever coached. And tonight he gets his

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: number retired into the rafters. The player that he is,

86
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: his career, his longevity, what has made himself special and

87
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: what about him did you like and some of those

88
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: fond memories that you had about.

89
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Jarna, Well, he just does everything right on a daily basis,

90
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: super coachable. This guy's you know, when I had him,

91
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: I think he was thirty eight years old or whatever,

92
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 2: and you know, always willing to learn, you know, wanted

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: to get better every day. That's the way he operated.

94
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: He practiced hard, and he made players.

95
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Around him better every day.

96
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: You know, just a true leader and probably for me,

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: one of the most disciplined individuals, not just hockey players,

98
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: but one of the most disciplined individuals that I've ever met.

99
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: You know, obviously he's gone from playing into marathon marathon

100
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: the guy is. He's ultra competitive, but just a terrific

101
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: human being in a terrific teammate.

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: It's awesome.
