Speaker 1: guest is sponsored by well, I'll tell you in a minute.

11
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,000

12
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: give me a sec. We'll get that going in just

13
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: a minute. So, hey, first time you've been in this

14
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: situation this time of year? How are these games feeling?

15
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a playoff run down the stretch, seven

16
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: to play. You're head to head with a couple of

17
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: teams like Nashville on Saturday, who are in the hunt

18
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: with you. How is this feel relative to other regular

19
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: season games you've had to be a part of.

20
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot more fun, that's for sure. You know,

21
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 3: if you look back the last few years we were

22
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: just kind of right it out to the end of

23
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: the season and now we're playing for something, and that

24
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: was the goal this year is to be in these

25
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: types of games, you know, get on a run, to

26
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: get an experience of what this is like and no better.

27
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: It was the night against Nashville, even though we came

28
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: up in the losing yain the Shark Tank was it

29
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: was lively, it was loud, it was intense, The game

30
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: was intense. I think it was a big growth woman

31
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: for our team. With a slow start, we got it

32
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: going better in the second period. Came up a little short,

33
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 3: but a lot of positives we can take.

34
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: From that game.

35
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 4: Coach, I've been following you now, obviously since you've been

36
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: with the franchise as an assistant now as a head coach.

37
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: I know when you're ticked off after a game. I've

38
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: been able to figure that out, but actually was surprised

39
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: that you were as not too pissed off after the

40
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: game on Saturday. You seem to be understanding about how

41
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: it's the first time the guys have been in a

42
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: game like this. You weren't short, you weren't you know,

43
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: seeing you know your thousand yards stare. You seem to

44
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: be relatively understanding of the team going through the situation

45
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: that they are for the first time. Was that the

46
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: reaction you expected to have.

47
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: To that game?

48
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: Maybe I took a little bit. I was a little

49
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: bit more coy with it. No, every time you lose,

50
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: it's disappointing, and especially when you come back and you

51
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: make it three to three. But when you look at

52
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: the big picture, a lot of people didn't have us

53
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: in this situation. A lot of people were kind of

54
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: writing us off. And I thought we were just gonna

55
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: right off of the sunset, you know, after the Olympic break,

56
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: and we kept on winning and and I think the

57
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: biggest thing that we've seen this year is we learned

58
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: a lot. We've learned a lot of moments and games.

59
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: We've learned, you know, through stretches of games. We've learned

60
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: game the game. We've we've been a lot of different scenarios.

61
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: We've come back, we've held onto a lead, which we

62
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 3: haven't done a lot of, you know, speaking of last year,

63
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: and we wanted a different number of ways. And I

64
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: think last game was probably the closest to a playoff

65
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: game that you know, we've experienced this year, and I

66
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: think that's something that we can really learn from and

67
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: that's what it's gonna be like going forward. We have

68
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: some even though we're playing teams that aren't in the

69
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: in the in it, uh, it's still gonna be intense.

70
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: It's still you're gonna fight for every inch of ice

71
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: out there. And I think hopefully it was a little

72
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: bit of a you know, some sort of wake up call,

73
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: especially after the first period of how physical and intense

74
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: and detailed you have to be.

75
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: This Shark's Weekly by a sponsored by Gernick Academy training

76
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's healthcare Heroes. For more information, visit dot e DU

77
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: that's a g U r n I c K dot

78
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: e d U. Sharks head coach Ryan Rosofski joined us

79
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: here at the Shark Tank. Is there a tendency this

80
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: time of year for young teams to ride emotional highs

81
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: and lows too much?

82
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's it's really every team, you know,

83
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: you go through those ups and downs, and whether you're

84
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: that that's in a playoff series and you've lost two

85
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: and where you lost one in overtime, that there's a

86
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: level of emotion and you think it's oh man, this

87
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: is over or here we go. You get a lot

88
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: of confidence and we can win every single night. You

89
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: got you got to battle that, and as a coach,

90
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: you gotta have a great feel for that. And I

91
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: think we you know, we win for in a row.

92
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: We're feeling good about ourselves and and probably thought it

93
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: was gonna be a little bit easier game against Nashville.

94
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: We knew was intense, and we knew it was gonna

95
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: an important game, and but it probably caught us a

96
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: little bit by surprise as a younger group. But you know,

97
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: we've learned from it. We got to move on and

98
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: from here on out, it's gonna be those emotional ups

99
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: and downs, and that's game to game, that's period to

100
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: period and and shift to shift. And we have to

101
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: have an understanding of you know, we're kind of just

102
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: been in this motto of just play. Yeah, no matter

103
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: what happens, there's gonna be good plays, there's gonna be

104
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: bad plays.

105
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: You know, we need to stay away from the plays

106
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: that get us beat. And that's the biggest thing going forward.

107
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: Talk about those plays that get you beat. Young teams

108
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: in the NHL, especially a team like your Sharks going

109
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 4: through this for the first time, those giveaways, those turnovers

110
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: continue to be an issue sometimes some trouble with the breakouts.

111
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: How harsh do you have to be in terms of

112
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: riding them on it and correcting it versus understanding they

113
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: need to get through this. There is a growth process

114
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: that is happening.

115
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: For sure, and I keep my rinding myself of that.

116
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: You know, when we struggle, it's usually coming out of

117
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: our back end and not breaking you pucks and not

118
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: being connected. And when we do that, we get a

119
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 3: lot of transition and speed into our game. But you

120
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: have to have understanding that there's some kids and players

121
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: that are learning, they're undergoing through this for the first time.

122
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: It's a level of intensity.

123
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: Shift to shift.

124
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: You may have four really good shifts and then that

125
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: fifth shift you just come off at for a split

126
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: second and that's the goal that goes in the back

127
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: of your net. So it comes down to details. It

128
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: comes down to line changes, about where you are in

129
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: a shift, where you are in the momentum of the

130
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: hockey game. This is a game of momentum swing, just

131
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: like every sport and you see it around you know, sports, football, basketball.

132
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: You have to under have an understanding of where the

133
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: momentum is in that game. If you have it, we

134
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: want to step on it and get aggressive, and we don't.

135
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: It's probably when we need to supplfy our game a

136
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 3: little bit. And I think we've had better growth moments

137
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: in that. But I think the other night is probably

138
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: which we're kind of caught up to us Coach.

139
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: One of the things I've heard you say you set

140
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: a test on the show, but I've heard you say

141
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: it all your longest being where your feet are, and

142
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: that's a big thing. I think for a team that's growing.

143
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Have you given or do you avoid this like a

144
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: welcome to the stretch run type of speech, not a

145
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: fiery yet, but like an awareness of what's going on.

146
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: Is it more about you want to keep the main

147
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: thing the main thing and state.

148
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: There, Yeah, we just stick to our routine, you know.

149
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: And I think if you start going in there and

150
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: you're changing things up and tell them how important of

151
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: a game it is, and you know, our players are

152
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: pretty smart. They know how important the games are now

153
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: right now, and they knew how important Nashville was. But

154
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: there's a level of desperation you have to play with

155
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: and we kind of remind our guys that, but you know,

156
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: we kind of just stick to what we're doing.

157
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: We can't really.

158
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: Focus on the outside and what team to do on

159
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: and scoreboard watching. We just could take care of ourselves

160
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: and focus on ourselves and be exactly where if you are.

161
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: How fun is it to watch Nick Letty have this

162
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 4: turn of importance right now at this point of the

163
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: year because he's waved early on, he stays with the

164
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: Barracuda for a bit, Ultimate Pro and then he's the

165
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: guy who shows up and gets it rolling on Saturday

166
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: night against Nashville. And I guess, in my opinion, I

167
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: was like, of course, it's the guy, the veteran who's

168
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: been there in all these big moments. He's the guy

169
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: that gets it going.

170
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, he's been around a long time. He's

171
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: seen a lot of hockey, a lot of playoff hockey.

172
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: You know, he understands the intensity of it. He's done

173
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: a really good job of coming in and almost calming

174
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: our back end down a little bit, you know, and

175
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: helping these young guys, and more so just the way

176
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: he plays. It's not like he's in there giving a big,

177
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: you know, speech, but he's helping these younger defensemen you know,

178
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: out and having an understanding of how to play in

179
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: these moments, and he's really calmed our group down there,

180
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: and he's he's been a big, you know, reason why

181
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: we've you know, won those four games in a row

182
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: and we'll kind of end this thing so far.

183
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Sharks that coach Ryan Rossowski with us here ahead of

184
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: the Sharks and the Blackhawks that night at seven at

185
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: the end of the game losing streaky guys, had Maclin

186
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: had a comment and Sad and I were talking about

187
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: it where he said, like, I felt like I wasn't

188
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: doing my job or doing enough to help the team,

189
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: and we all thought, you know, from the outside, and

190
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of a hilarious thing, but but it was.

191
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: There was a big play in that game that led

192
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: to to that loss in the final, a couple of

193
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: seconds of overtime and then the run kind of started.

194
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: How's it been for him in terms of having the

195
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: leadership role on the ice but really experiencing all of

196
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: this as a person, not just a hockey.

197
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: Player for the first time.

198
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: No, it's great for him and it doesn't surprise me

199
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: with those comments. He's ultra competitive.

200
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

201
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: He wants to be the reason we win every single night.

202
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: And I think that's a great thing. And and that's

203
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 3: what makes him so special, and that's what makes him

204
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: who he is. And he wears it on his heart

205
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: and he and his sleeve, and he understands how important

206
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: it is to to win and and and be successful

207
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: individually and as a group. And you know, I think

208
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: the biggest thing if we want to continue to win, uh,

209
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: this needs to be a group effort. It needs to

210
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: be a whole team. We can't just rely on Mac

211
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: to kind of carry us into it. He's gonna do

212
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: his thing and he's gonna, you know, make special plays

213
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: out there. He's in a drag us into the fight.

214
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: But we need to continue to get secondary scoring. We

215
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: need guys to chip in and do their job, whether

216
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: that's Nick Lettie or Colin graft On the pound to kill,

217
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: you need a level of depth and throughout your whole lineup.

218
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: And obviously Mac as special and he'll always be that

219
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: ultra competitives that he brings, and that's what makes him

220
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: so great.

221
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: I want to ask you about Alex Ndelkovich because he's

222
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: been one of the plus sides this year that I

223
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: was not really knowing what we were getting when he

224
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: came to the franchise. But the one thing I really

225
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: noticed is how much he speaks about the game, not

226
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 4: like a goalie, but from a coach's perspective. And I'm

227
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 4: just curious if you're aware of that. And then I

228
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: knew you had a relationship with him before, So is

229
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: that one of the reasons that you wanted to bring

230
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: him in, because not just is he's a super talented goalie,

231
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: but he sees the game in a very unique way

232
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 4: that probably helps the group.

233
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

234
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: Obviously you know coaching in the American Hockey League and

235
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: won a championship together down there. And what I loved

236
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: about him and me and Mike were talking about acquiring

237
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: him this summer last summer was his competitiveness. He is

238
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: a guy that competes for every puck. Practice, game doesn't

239
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: matter too is the optional skate?

240
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: Uh?

241
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: And I think you need more guys like that. They

242
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: kind of drag guys into the fight. It's good for

243
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: asking to see that, you know, And I think you're right.

244
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: He has a level of a philosophy from a coaching

245
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: standpoint of he sees it really well. His hockey sets

246
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: is really good. Uh, you know, he sees the game well.

247
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: He's always has and he's been a big part of

248
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: this group. You know, he's a great, great teammate in there.

249
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: You know, he keeps guys loose, but also has a

250
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: level of intensity to him that you know, I think

251
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: guy's feed off of.

252
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: And he's a leader.

253
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: He was a leader for us down and Charlotte, and

254
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 3: you don't see that very often with goaltenders. And he's

255
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: really stepped up and giving us some really big games

256
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 3: this year, especially when I ask he was hurt.

257
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: Couch before I let you go your first real playoff

258
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: push as head coach of the Sharks. What's been the

259
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: biggest adjustment for you personally?

260
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: Man, Probably just the ups and downs of it and

261
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: the emotions of it. And did you not expect that

262
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: for yourself? Did you think, like, you know different?

263
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I'd do it in a regular

264
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: season game, where exhibition game I'm probably the same way.

265
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: But you know, just trying to find the big thing

266
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 3: for me. And when I look back at my coaching

267
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: is every team that I've coached kind of as taught

268
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: and kind of gets pulled and challenged in different ways.

269
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: In this group you know, wants to be have an

270
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: understanding that that that they're a good hockey team. You

271
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: have to almost reinforce it at times. But they they

272
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 3: when they when they get it going and they get

273
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 3: confidence and they feel free and they feel loose, that's

274
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: when they're at their best. So my job really right

275
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: now is to keep this guy, these guys loose, uh,

276
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: not let them feel that intensity and that and and

277
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: have a there's a there's a line that you need

278
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: to have an understanding of a focus of firmness and

279
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: have an understanding of how the game is going to

280
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: be played that night, but also not let them get

281
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: their stick too tight and let them play fast and

282
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: let them play loose. Where some teams I've coached where

283
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: you can rally them up and you can fire them up,

284
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: and you can you know, kind of challenge them a

285
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 3: little bit harder and sterner. Uh, they respond to that

286
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: a little bit more of this team and then that

287
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: that's not that's not no shot at any of the players.

288
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: They're they're great human beings. We have a great restagram

289
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: down there.

290
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: They want it more than anyone and I think as

291
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: coaches in any sport, you have to understand what your

292
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: team needs and not what I need, what the team needs.

293
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: And you know what this team needs is to be

294
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: have an understanding of yeah, we need a level of

295
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: intensity and a level of focus, but when we're fast,

296
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: and we lose that when we play fast, and that's

297
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: when we play loose.

298
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: Sharks head coach Ryan Warsowski joins us here the Sharks

299
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,480

Speaker 1: on a few times this year. Nobody knew where the

302
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: season was going. It's been an awesome jump forward. Tim

303
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Here's a massive Sharks fan. It's been really really cool

304
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: to watch the growth of you guys, and I think

305
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: we're all just just stoked to see what the next

306
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,520

Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thanks, thank you so much.
