Yeah, 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean I think, uh, you know, you understand it's 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: a it's a violent game. There's inherent risk and playing 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: uh each week. UM. But you know, at the same time, 39 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: seeing something like that, you know, is uh puts it 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: all in perspective, and you don't, you know, you never 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: expect it, right, you know, never you know, not something 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: you're thinking about a lot, you know, honestly, but to 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: see it, see it happened to see uh that situation 44 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: you know Monday night was tough bills that are in 45 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: this locker rooms, like kind of seeing their emotions and 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: what do you suss with them? Um? Yeah, a lot 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: of you know, like you said, a lot of guys 48 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: in this locker room who know him, know him well. Um, 49 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 1: coaches who have coached him and been around him a lot. 50 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: And you hear, uh, you know about all the great things. 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: You know, all the great guy is and the great 52 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: teammate he is, great player he is, and um, you 53 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: know that's what you've heard from you know, there's been 54 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: an outpouring of all you know, people sharing their experiences 55 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: with him and who he is, and you hear the 56 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: same thing you guys you talk to here, So um, 57 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think guys are dealing with 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: in different ways, grieving in different ways. UM. So just 59 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: trying to be supportive, um as we can. I think 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: this team, this organization has done a really good job 61 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: with Daniel on a number of different levels. I mean, 62 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: obviously the injury of them are but you go into 63 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: this week with uncertainly the sense if you don't know 64 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: how much you're playing and things like that, is it 65 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: harder to prepare? Um? No, I mean I think I'm 66 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: preparing uh as I always do, preparing to play and 67 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: and uh doing doing my what I do to to prepare. 68 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: So I don't think that that changes. I think, uh, 69 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, certainly the more Hamlet situation and that factors 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: into your mindset and your approach, and uh certainly gonna 71 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: affect all of us, Like I said, in different ways, 72 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: but it's gonna gonna affect us. So UH puts things 73 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: in perspective when it comes to playing or not playing 74 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: this finn Gaming season. Will you go to to Brian 75 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: and let them know your thoughts or your opinions on 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: what you would prefer to do or just let it 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: go with whatever the coach? That's Um yeah, I mean 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: I think, uh, if he asked my opinion, you know, 79 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: I would share that with him. Um. But at the 80 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: same time, he's a coach, and it's my job to 81 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: prepare to uh to play, and uh I'm prepared to 82 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: do that, so um that's what my job is. I 83 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: understand that if he asked for my opinion, I share it, 84 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: But um, he's head coach as a competitive athlete, is 85 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: your preference to go all out to try to win 86 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: this game? UM? Yeah, I mean I think UM, as 87 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: a player, you know, you're always you know, wanted to 88 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: prepare to play and and and uh do what you can. 89 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you're you have an obligation 90 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: to the team, you have an obligation to UM you know, 91 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: what's what's best for for the situation, and that's what 92 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: Uh that's Dave's job to make those decisions, So trust 93 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: him and and uh, you know, obviously, man do whatever 94 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: whatever he tells me to do.
