1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I certainly like to start by one thanking Hockey East.

2
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought they put on a tremendous tournament this weekend.

3
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kate, Brian, the whole staff. Brian Murphy thought the

4
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>games were really well refereed. The whole red carpet thing

5
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>was a great touch. It was just a first class

6
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>tournament and great crowds. Hats off to the main fans

7
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>for times. I felt like I was up at Alphont

8
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>today during that game. And then secondly, Ben and his

9
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>staff and his team, they deserve to win tonight. I

10
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>thought they played better than we did, and you know,

11
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>congratulations to them. But we had a tough start, I thought.

12
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 1>But I thought we got it back in the second

13
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>period and were playing a lot better and we had

14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 1>some chances. But it was one of those nights when

15
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>when you had a great a we missed the net.

16
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Just wasn't really our night. But I think it's a

17
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 1>great learning experience, And like I told the kids in there,

18
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the last time we were in this position, our season

19
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 1>was over and it's not the case this year, and

20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's something that we can learn from. And

21
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>when you compete in this league and you can compete

22
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>for a championship. I think you can compete against anybody

23
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 1>in the country. So I told all our players that

24
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>we just got to regroup, refocus, and get back at

25
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>it next week. Thanks coach. We'll take questions for coach.

26
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Just raise your hand high so I can see it.

27
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll try to line you up. We'll start with Josh.

28
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Go to Ragel and Dan Okay, Josh pidoshot call taking

29
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>news yesterday. We talked a little or you talked a

30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 1>little bit about John and Hudson. Obviously how they've been

31
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>here five years ago. One do you have an update

32
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>on Hodson's status? And then two like what do those

33
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>two players or what have they meant to this team,

34
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>especially this season. We're not here if they don't come back,

35
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>not even close. And not because they're really good players

36
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>for us, because their leadership we couldn't have done when

37
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>we're playing. I think, what do we have tonight? Eight

38
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>seven eight freshmen maybe in the lineup. You're not going

39
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 1>to win a lot of games if you don't have

40
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that type of leadership showing them the way and letting

41
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 1>them know what the expectations are of the team that

42
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>wants to compete for a championship. So from that standpoint,

43
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>they're invaluable to me for this program. I have the

44
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>utmost respect for him because in today's world, you don't

45
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>see many kids, you know, coming off the season that

46
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 1>we had last year, and they could go transfer wherein

47
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>they wont stay for a fifth year because they didn't

48
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>like the way their career ended and they wanted to

49
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 1>they thought it could end better, and already it has

50
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>because we're going to the first national tournament we've ever

51
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>been to. So from that standpoint, that's great. And as

52
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>far as Hudson's status, it's a day to day type thing.

53
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>And Mike, which saw I'm a mess life kind of

54
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 1>on that theme on Sunday, You're going to be rewarded

55
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 1>for your entire season, not just what you did in

56
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>this tournam but what didn't happen in this tournament? Right Yeah,

57
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And then I'm really I told the group, I'm really

58
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>proud of them, and I've been doing this a long

59
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>time and I've been in this game a lot on

60
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>both sides of it, and you know, sports can humble you,

61
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 1>and we got humbled tonight. I thought Maine jumped us

62
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 1>early and it was hard for us. You know, we

63
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 1>wanted to score first and try to take the crowd

64
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 1>out of the game, but that wasn't the case. Daniel Connolly,

65
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.400
<v Speaker 1>ukon of Hockey. What did Maine do in that first

66
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>period that made it so difficult for you guys? They

67
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't allow us to get our four check going. They

68
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>did a really good job of Part of that was

69
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>because we were in our own zone a little bit.

70
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>So if you spend in twenty seconds in your own zone,

71
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to get a four check going. And I

72
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>thought we were just disconnected on our four check. We'd

73
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 1>have one going, but two wasn't there, and you need

74
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>five guys connected to really establish it. Now, we got

75
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to go on in the third. You know, we got

76
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>some turnovers in the third, and you know, if that

77
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 1>play isn't off sides, It was close and it was

78
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>off sides, but you know, if it stays on sides

79
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>there and we scored that goal all of a sudden,

80
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>it could have been four to three, you know, and

81
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 1>then it's a different game. But I thought we started

82
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to establish our four check a little bit more in

83
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 1>the third period, but it was a little too late.

84
00:04:54.319 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll go Cole bridget Yahn Colpaslano EML Sports. You guys

85
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 1>challenge with about eleven ish minutes left in regulation. I'm

86
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 1>just curious what you saw on that or you guys

87
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>we got radio down that there was a contact to

88
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the head. There was eleven minutes left. We were down

89
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>three to one. I think at the time, you know,

90
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>when we kind of took a chance. If you get

91
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>a five minute major there, that could change things a

92
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 1>whole lot. It wasn't. It wasn't like I was going

93
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 1>to get a penalty for challenging at that point. I

94
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't see the need to save it. It was close,

95
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, more than just said it wasn't five. It

96
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 1>probably should have been a penalty, but it wasn't five. Okay.

97
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 1>Did health play a backer at all in your goaltending

98
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 1>decision today? And what went into deciding to play music?

99
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>We've switched all year long. That was a decision we've

100
00:05:51.800 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 1>rotated all year long. Chrazy John Doyle, usco coach, imp

101
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>think was that second main goal Not only did it

102
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 1>come late in the first period, but down to nothing,

103
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>was also on the only power play in the game. Yeah,

104
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and it was off the rush. We had done a

105
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 1>good job against them in zone and Nato made a

106
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>great play and you know, we probably didn't handle it

107
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>as well defensively as we should have it. It was

108
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.399
<v Speaker 1>a one on two that he made a great play

109
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 1>and turned into almost a you know, he beat both

110
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>guys and shot back against the grain. It was a

111
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 1>really nice goal. We'll go Luca right in the middle

112
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the Tedesco The One Tea podcast. How close was Hudson

113
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to be being ready to go? Was? Did you kind

114
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of know before warm ups or was it really a

115
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>last I didn't think that he wanted to try warm

116
00:06:54.079 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>ups again because he's such a competitor, But I was

117
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.439
<v Speaker 1>confident that he was gonna be able to play. But

118
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I let him try because he's had some chandor and

119
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>he's given everything he has to this program. So if

120
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>he asked me to try warm up, so I'm gonna

121
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>let him
