Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, I think we're recording. I think I think everything's
good to go. I've had to do a lot of experimentation.
Getting this ready has been a giant pain on top
of all the other school work I got to do,
on top of our elite flag football team.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
But we made it, Dylan, we made it. We're here,
We're here to go.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
We're dial then.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'm Daniel, also known as Deuce on the airwaves, and
I'm joined as always by my lovely co host, Dylan
Sash for this episode of Studio three one three. As always,
we are coming at you from Anderson Hall, home to
Nebraska's College of Journalism and Communications affectionately known as the
co j MC here at the University of Nebraska Lincoln's

(00:37):
City campus in the capital City.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
And Dylan, we got two very special guests today.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
And these guys play on a hockey team, and one.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Would one would say they're pretty big stars.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
And I've I've seen the first I've watched the first, uh,
you know, for their home games, and the first seven
games they're six and one, and it's got me asking
myself and others one important question.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Don't you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I couldn't tell you, Daniel, do you like parades? Was
that parade?

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Do you like parades?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I think I could go to a parade.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I think we got to plan a route because this
club is gonna bring home a championship to this city,
you think so. I think the Lincoln Stars are winning
at all this year, but plenty of season to go.
But boy, they're off to a hot start, and we've
got two of their star players in studio with us today.
We've got Dashall Oliver and Caden Harrington, two gentlemen, one

(01:30):
out of Bloomington, Indiana, one out of Manchester, Vermont. Fellas,
how are you guys doing today?

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Doing good, doing well, having a love?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
You guys were at that Crayon campus today. I saw
that on Instagram. Just uh, I'm just curious because like
I just saw that today. Before we get into anything else,
tell me about that, like where we.

Speaker 6 (01:47):
Just volunteer right there, one of our sponsors and just
going over there hanging out with the kids playing.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, I'm sure they do.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
They see it fun.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, I'm sure their younger kids. Yeah, it's all pre
k Oh, you guys are superstars to them then, Like yeah, I.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Mean it's preschool kids. So like there's a room with
like kids up to like three, and then there's like
three to five year old and then a couple of
couple of kids older.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
We just we go out there in recess and play. Yeah,
just a good time.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
You get like an all time quarterback type back there,
slinging at multi sport athletes.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
That's what I like to talk about.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
But before we dive into anything further, I just want
these guys to introduce themselves. They've got some They've come
from different places in the country, some unique backgrounds, and
let's start right here with Nashville. Just tell the people
a little bit about yourself.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
Yeah, I'm from Bloomington, Indiana. Not much hockey there at all.
No basketball, Yeah, definitely a basketball state. Had to travel
to Indie when I was pretty young to play practices.
And then when I was thirteen, I switched clubs. I
started playing in Chicago, so I moved up there with
my mom. We we got an apartment and we lived

(02:54):
in Oak Park for a couple of years. Played for
a club up there, Chicago Mission was there for a
few years, right, and then made my way over to
doing New Jersey.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
For a year, going to the coast.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Yeah, so I played in New Jersey for a year
on the Triple A club team out there, and that
was by myself. So no parent.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
How old were you then, sixteen sixteen? Living alone?

Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah, I lived with It was like a billet family house. Well,
there was a bunch of teammates we were together. It
was pretty cool setup. But yeah, I live with them.
And then a year after it came out to Lincoln.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
So online school.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Yeah, yeah, online school, junior senior year.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Long way from home. Man, that's a move.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
If I was sixteen years old you told me I
got to go from the comfort of the Upper Midwest
to the East Coast, I'd be shivering.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
My timbers would be adequately shivered if you told me that,
big move. But you've clearly managed it. Well here you are.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Yeah, no, it was. It was a fun year of
being out there. But yeah, Lincoln's awesome. So been here
for a few years.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I think the same thing. Lincoln is pretty great.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Great plays, especially when you're in college, especially when you're
a college student.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Great college down.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
So that's Dashel Oliver and we've got one other star
in the building.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
We've got Caiden Harrington. Caden. Please tell the people a
little bit about yourself.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
Yeah, so I'm you know, like dash from different but
I'm from Manchester, Vermont.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
But in the same sense of hockey was never.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
Really a thing growing up in my area, so I
kind of just played for like a local single a
team till I was twelve or thirteen, and then I
bounced around a little bit. I headed to New Hampshire
for two years, and I was just kind of driving
like an hour and a half.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Every day going there skating, and then.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
My freshman year of high school, I actually switched teams
to New York, so I was playing there my freshman
sophomore year going to high school at home.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
That was kind of during COVID, so it was.

Speaker 7 (04:36):
A little bit of you know, balancing school work, balancing
you know, doing online school, and then driving over to
New York every day, which again was also the kind
of like an hour and fifteen hour twenty so that
was a hike. My parents kind of made a big
sacrifice for me there. And then I decided to go
to prep school my fifteen sixteen years, so I was
a junior in high school sure, so I went to
holding a school in New Hampshire for two years and

(04:58):
played hockey there my junior senior year.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Now I'm here.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Now he's made his way to the capital city of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Out of out of all the places you guys thought
you'd end up, could you have ever imagined yourself playing
hockey in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
The Nebraska doesn't strike as a hockey town, but not
at all.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
When I was a kid, obviously I wanted to play
in this league and that was like my goal. But yeah, right,
like I kind of knew what the stars were, but I.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Was like, yeah, I don't really know.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
I don't want to go to I don't even know
if I go to Debrasa, no hockey there.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, I think it's cold.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, Like you can't even imagine a hockey venue being
in the state.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
I feel like, when you think of playing this league,
think of playing for like Chicago, like a normal like
kind of like a normal city, like yeah, Margo, Like right,
I feel like Lincoln, Nebraska is.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah, It's just it's.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Just weird to think about, not in the slightest bit.
It's the teams are really spread out all over. We
got plenty across the sixteen team league. I think sixteen
we got an Eastern Western Conference. There it's sixteen clubs
and they're spread out all around. And these guys landed
in Lincoln after some pretty big moves within your guys life,

(06:04):
Like how did you manage because you said you were
going from I mean you went from Indiana to Chicago,
then to Jersey was it? And then you were Vermont to.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
He went Vermont New Hampshire and then New.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
York, New Hampshire, New York and then big plot twist
get draft drafted? Is the term?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Right you get draft? Do you get drafted or is
it signed?

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah, I actually went on drafted.

Speaker 7 (06:30):
I signed as a free agent to Green Bay last
Christmas Christmas time, I think it was the day before Christmas.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
And yeah, so I joined on in March and then.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
And then so when you get signed like that, do
you immediately kind of pack up move out or do
you is there like a grace period with that?

Speaker 7 (06:44):
So I kind of signed in the sense that I
was going to finish my high school season and then go.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
So I signed and then.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yeah, So like clubs in our team, they have a
it's called an affiliate list. Okay, just like guys that
they either either have signed or like draft picks that
they can add to their affiliate list. They have like
a certain cap on how many they can have, and
those guys they can bring up during the year, but
they're not on the actual roster.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
They just okay, they.

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Can play games, but it's like a max of ten games. Yeah.
So yeah, it's like they just called affiliation.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Sureta those moves that you guys have made.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
I mean, like we just talked about your moves before
the USHL and then obviously.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Going to Green Bay then Lincoln.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Now I want to talk more specifically about what a
trade is like, but just in the general sense of
moving around, Like what was the hardest part of that
as you're going from place to place, still trying to
focus on the ultimate goal of you know, trying to
get closer to playing at the next level.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean definitely, Like for me, like moving up
to Chicago is like it was pretty big move, especially
at the age of like thirteen, right, You're in eighth
grade at that point, big move. So like you're kind
of on your own in a way because you don't
really go I didn't really go to normal school eighth grade.
I went to the hockey school with just like just
once of my teammates and stuff, and then like freshman

(07:54):
sophomore year, I did go to high school, but it
was just like weird, you know, not knowing anyone in
like the community and like kind of be in this
like oh, what are you doing here? Like isolated literally
here to play hot Yeah, but like no one really
understands it. And so yeah, it was definitely like you
feel a little isolated. Like your closest friends are your teammates. Yeah, sure,
like that that's kind of who you have.

Speaker 7 (08:13):
Yeah, it's definitely funny like talking to college kids around
here when you say, like you play for the Stars,
and they like may know what the stars are, but
like they don't understand or they can't grasp.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I would I would say that most of the people
only know the stars for what is it, two dollars
the beer.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Night And now this season we got three dollars tall
boys on Friday nights, So huge work. We're we're moving
on up in the world. The college nights are always
the most full.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Nights in the stadium. It's just got to be. It's
got to be.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
I remember the Tri City game last year. I think
it was March first or second. It was early March
and the ice box had like four thousand people and
it was rock and people were throwing up on the ice.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
During the intermission games, it was.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
It was a hot message, was tough war and two
teams going back and forth, best out of three. One
team wins the first round and then the other team
reverse sweep. They come back and get it done. They
win the series two to one. Guys feeling victorious, pumps
his fists.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
In the air. Next second he yacks.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
All over the ice and luckily the excellent ice crew
got it fixed real quickly. But I I was just
looking around at everyone else in disbelief, and you could hear.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
From the crowd just winning through of it was just this,
oh just stands. It was a It was a rough deal.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
So there's there's no shortage of entertaining events that happen
at the icebox besides the hockey games and talking about
these moves you specifically, I want to talk about going
from Green Bay to Lincoln because get like, like we
were just talking about before the show, getting traded as
a teenager, that just seems like a wild concept. Like
you're just chilling at home, like after a practice whatever,

(09:53):
playing call of duty or whatever, it is. You do
a little Fortnite and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
I got traded to the Lincoln Stars.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Well, what's next, what's that problem?

Speaker 7 (10:00):
Like? Well, so it was a little different for me
in the sense that it wasn't in season trade, so
we had actually just finished.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
We just got knocked out of playoffs.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
It was kind of two weeks before the USHL Phase
one draft, and so I was back at school. I
was finishing up my senior year, so I after so
I went when I went to Green Bay for those
two months, I was still doing.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
School for my high school.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
So when.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
Yeah, okay, So then when I finished, I went back
to school and I was just sitting in study hall
one night, I was cranking out some math homework and I, uh,
I got a call from the GM in Green Bay
and he was pretty much like, Hey, you know, this
is probably not the news you want to hear, but
we got to let you know that, you know, we
traded you.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
For a couple of draft picks.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
And it was just kind of like, you know, like
You're sitting there and I'm like, you know, that's the
last person I kind of expected to call me. Yeah, time, right,
it's eight o'clock on like a Tuesday, I think.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
And did you at least have the number shaved in
your phone?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
You did?

Speaker 7 (10:57):
So I was sitting there actually with my ex scruffing
at a time, and I was like, all right, like
I think I'm gonna go, like I I call some people,
and so I kind of laughed and I went and
I called my agent, and you know, he was kind
of like, you know, like don't let it, let it
down on you, Like it's just a move, you know,
it's what was right for the team. And I had
kind of had like a just just so so time

(11:18):
in Green Bay. Yeah, so in one sense, it was kind.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Of looking at like it's a new opportunity, right.

Speaker 7 (11:23):
Actually I got a kind of a best friend on
Lincoln who I grew up with, Jack Barcar, number twenty one.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Oh, it's just kind of cool.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Like he was one of my first phone calls.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
I was like, well, dude, we've never been able to
actually play together, so yeah, the first time, like what
are the chances?

Speaker 5 (11:36):
So he was pretty pumped. So but it was just
kind of weird.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Yeah, like you know, you don't as an eighteen year
old you kind of think like you know you're in
a landing spot. I thought I was like, they're sent
in Stone for next year, and then all of a sudden,
I'm moving to Lincoln, Nebraska three months later.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So it's just very out of the loom, just random
something I don't know how I would.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Be able to handle as a teenager.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
And we've had there have been other instances of trades,
like I think, was it he Shaw who got traded
to Des Moines in the offseason?

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, well he actually yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
Here for preseason and then he got traded I think
kind of two weeks in, which was a surprise to
some guys too because he was here last year, Like
there was a lot of the boys, so that was
kind of hard to see him go. But I guess,
you know, once you get to the junior landscape, it's
just it's part of it. Yeah, Yeah, you got to
understand what you're signing up for.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
So yeah, it's it's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Teams got to meet their needs and I guess get
getting a start on it in the USHL like the
dynamics of a higher up league like that, I guess
you're ready for whatever comes your way when you go
into the college career and hopefully one day of the pros.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Knock on wood.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Now, more generally just about this season because I'm pumped.
My roommate JP, who does the camera work up in
the Medianist, He's pumped. I think everyone in this town
who loves the Lincolnars is getting really excited because you
guys are off to a hot start. You guys are
six and one, most points, I think of any team
in the league most wins four and oh at home,

(12:59):
I've not seen a loss yet and hoping, hoping we
don't see it.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
But you guys have looked great.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
And I know it's it's tough to like sum up
such a good start to like one or two components.
But what do you credit this hot start to?

Speaker 6 (13:12):
Uh? I think just depth. Like, I think we're getting
contribution from everyone right now. That was, you know, something
we liked last year we weren't we weren't as deep
in the lineup, right and then just I think more
consistent contribution from kind of our top players. You know,
you need your top players to show up, and I
think our top guys have been performing right now and

(13:33):
we just need to keep that going.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, top guys obviously being you guys, right, No.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
I agree with Dash. Your top guys gotta be your
top guys.

Speaker 7 (13:41):
But it's also like in hockey, like you need depth
scoring and I think like we've gotten depth scoring from
the right guys at the right time recently, like all
four lines have been contributing. And also I think you know,
I wasn't here last year, but I definitely can tell
like there's a different vibe in the room this year,
Like we you know, we believe in each other and
believe in the guy next you, and we know that
what we're capable of, and we know we have a

(14:03):
high ceiling. And I think Rocky's gonna hold us that
standard this year. And it's exciting because you know, hopefully,
you know, the fans are gonna get behind us, and
Lincoln's gonna get behind us.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean as much as like you
guys like can see the buzz, like we feel the
buzz in the room, like yeah, maybe just as much
like we going into like the season, we were already
like super energetic, like and just every every day at
practice we've just been having fun. I mean, every game
has been so much fun. It's just the vibe compared
to last year. Here is so much better.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah right, And I mean it shows on the ice.
I mean watching you guys. I mean des Moines was
a close game. They they brought it, they really did,
and that was I figured Waterloo would be the tough
test because they'd already won a few games they were
picking up steam. But I mean, you guys picked apart Waterloo,
and both of those games, y'all looked great. I can
see you when you're on the ice, even just in
warm ups during the game, when you're come back through

(14:51):
the through that little player's entrance to locker room, and
coach Rocky Man, every time he's walking through like the
players entrance, I'm like, hey, go work, coach, And every
time he's just staring dead ahead.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Doesn't acknowledge me, just because he's so.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Dial coaches got to stay locked.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh yeah, I don't blame him.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's like if some camera like he's trying to coach
his team and he's in the heat of the game
and it's like this random camera guys like, yeah, go
work coach.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
And he's just like this guy, he's a different animal.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
On game day, he's a different on game day.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
He's he gets us locked in, though, do you see
a big difference between like just like a normal regular
practice versus like game time. I mean, like obviously, I
feel like a lot of coaches, you know, all of us,
both of us being I don't say athletes were no
nowhere near athletes compared to you guys, but like.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Very average athlete, yeah, very average.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Athletes in high school.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's like kind of like a deal with like, yeah,
coach is different when coach gets pissed off. Coach gets
pissed off. But you see a big difference between him.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Like an ordinary practice on like a big game day.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
I feel I feel like he's someone who's so passionate
about the game that like he just brings that a
sat that same enthusiasm and energy every day, right, like
even today, Like we get on the ice and like
we kind of had a talk for the first five
minutes about like accountability, and like we're six and one,
and he's not going to change a thing. Right It's
a Monday morning, right, Like, Yeah, we two games Friday, Saturday,

(16:07):
and he's right back to work Monday, getting on the guys.
And I think that's a good thing because what you're
gonna like what you'll see down the stretch too, Right,
it's a sixty two game season, it's a long season. Like,
no matter what happens, he's always gonna stay honest. And
that's because I think he cares right, and he cares
about us, and he loves the guys. So I think, like, yeah,
obviously he's super locked in, but I think he's locked
in for the right reasons. And I think, you know,

(16:28):
you people, a lot of people aren't going to see
the other side of him when we're in the locker
room when we win games, Like that's the side of
him that you know. Unfortunately only the players are able
to see. So obviously from a fans perspective, you know,
you kind of always see the serious not so you know,
smiley rocky guy.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
But in the locker room, we get to get him
at coaches comments every yeah. Yeah, it's like on a
good weekend he'll be he'll be buzzing and he'll feed
into the crowded energy. But I mean another thing and
just adding just like it's sixty two games and you
got to get better over the Yeah, like, you know,
we're good right now, but at the end of the year,
if we're playing level we are now we're gonna be
getting beat by teams because yeah, every team's gonna get

(17:03):
all there throughout the year. I mean once you get
into mid season form, that's when you really want to
start picking up steam and like playing consistent.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Then what's it easiest to like you say, like teams
are going to be getting better when if you guys
play at this level, say at like game fifty something
like even at the very end of the season, like
the sixties sixty first sixty second game, you guys are
going to be getting.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Beat if you play at this level.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
How do you I mean, is it like a holistic
improvement or are there certain aspects of the game that
are that you're definitely getting better on like us each practice,
practice goes on.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Or is it more holistic?

Speaker 6 (17:37):
Yeah, I would say probably holistic because I mean in terms,
it's just like your details, you know, that's yeah, you
can still tell its early season form. I think in
some of these games, I mean some teams, like you know,
power play units don't look as sharp and uh, you
know just the way like teams possess the pocket doesn't
look as sharp, right, it is.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
My lifetop shut off.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
I heard that buzzing go out and I thought a
mic went out.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
But ye know, all the mics are good. All the
mikes are good. Okay, you're speaking to like find details,
like yeah, it's just for you guys.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
Yeah, exactly, and you need to you need to tune
those in over like the course of the season because
well you'll notice this. I mean, I'll bring up like
Fargo for instance last year, who was a record setting team,
dominant by the end of the season. I mean they
were so detailed. I mean they didn't they just didn't
mess up. They can make mistakes. I mean it was
and watching them play was honestly, like it was crazy.
They were so good.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, then we lost ten games, was it?

Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
It's crazy, insane. But like dash that, I totally agree.
It's like, if you're just consistently focusing on the little details,
whether that's p K power play. You know, one of
our big focuses right now is blue line turnovers. Obviously
we're not gonna go to and death, but obviously right. Yeah, No,
it's like it's the little details and that and that stuff.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
It will get.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
Consistently better over the year as long as you're working
at it and staying at it like Dash. I mean,
if we stayed like we are right now, we're not
going to be going six and one through seven games
throughout the course of the rest of the season because
we won't be able to keep up with teams. So yeah,
I think it's the little details and staying at it
and staying at your work ethic, and that's what's going
to help us down the stretch.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
There's obviously a lot of components to the game of hockey. I,
Dylan and I don't have great knowledge about the game.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
There's there's a lot to it that.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't understand. Like I know a little more than
I used to. Like I went with this joke last
time we were on with Rombach. If you asked me
what icing was like a year ago, I would have said,
it's what you put on a cake. That's not That's
not quite the truth. It's like a dad joke. I
have to whip it out every once in a while.
But I I don't know much about the game. There's
tons of little things. But one of my favorite aspects
of the game is.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Just watching the brawls, watching the fole and gets.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
A good part.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
And I noticed that when after the I think it
was the second period.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Shadrick who got in the fight.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah yeah, Sandra, Yeah, Sandrack got in that fight against
a Waterloo earlier this weekend.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
He oh yeah, yeah, he won.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's exactly what I like to see. It was a
good scrap.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
But he came out on top and I would and
he you know, he gets sent to the locker room,
both players because it's like a ten minute misconduct penalty
and as the as the rest.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
But the boys.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Let the boys fight. It's a necessary part of the game.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
But when you guys were coming back to the locker room,
Rocky at the back of the line. Normally he doesn't
say anything when he's walking back to the locker room,
but Sandra can stand him right there, and Rocky looks at.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Him and goes out by way to go, man, like
good work work with that fight.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
And that made me kind of curious, a little surprised. Actually,
is fighting to a certain extent like encouraged or like.

Speaker 7 (20:26):
It's a time and a place thing, right, Like you're
not gonna fight if you're up five to one, probably
unless they you know, like you're gonna player from a
high urcher goalie.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
But you know in a close game like that where like.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
We were, we kind of lost some momentum after the
glass broke on that hit Hendrix Laide, and you know,
we were kind of dead a little bit, and I
think Sandra kind of was talking upon himself like, hey,
I'm gonna get the boys going.

Speaker 8 (20:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
You know, when a guy gets in a fight and
you win, like you kind of get get the crowd.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
Into the boys going.

Speaker 7 (20:53):
And Sandy's a big part of our culture and our team.
He's just a super glue guy. He's an energy guy
and he's great. So when you see a guy like that,
you know, shred the Mets and just go as hard
as he can, you know, it gets the boys going
for sure.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
It also come down on like a like a more
of like a strategy thing. Are you going for one
of their better players to off the ice?

Speaker 6 (21:11):
You can definitely be a state. I mean, for instance,
if you're down a couple of goals and you need
your team going, I mean going after one of their
guys that's kind of a fighter and you send out
you're a fighter. I mean, that's it's just so we've
got Yeah, I mean, you can how many enforcers we
got on the team this year. I mean Sand Sandy
definitely will be there.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
We got a couple of guys that mix it up.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
I think we'll have a couple of guys that'll scrap.

Speaker 5 (21:31):
I think you know Dash, well, Dash will go once twice.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's exactly like this.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I mean was it a home gamer?

Speaker 6 (21:39):
Was away game on the road? Damn Rocky didn't like that.
He didn't like that one.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Yeah, because what's a punishment look like for that?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Is there? Do you really get punished? Is it more
of like a.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
Just didn't gets much playing time?

Speaker 7 (21:53):
Depends, it depends how severe it is, right, Like s
Like I said, it's a time and a place thing,
and there's a time and a place for everything, right,
But I think you know, you be smart about it, right,
You're you want to fight if your goalie gets hit.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Right.

Speaker 7 (22:06):
The other night, I know, we had two guys that
are Yon kind of got poked in the face with
a stick after the whistle, and two guys wanted to
fight the guy that poked in the face.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
They were throwing some crazy hits too, Yeah, I mean,
like Bemo got borded really bad. A couple of guys
got from behind. It got really it was it was physical,
Like this part of the second period was insanely physical.
They were hitting everything, and I think that was part
of the reason he fought, like kind of get us
physically in the game too. I mean, you kind of
got us send a message like Okay, we're gonna push
back now as well.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
And I think too, like there's also an intimidation factor, right,
you know, you see Sandrick go over there and just
beat the wheels.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Off that guy.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
If the team you're like, oh, you know, maybe I'm
gonna stay away from that guy.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
And I think that is also part of it too.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Right, Like I was reading about like fighting just in
hockey in general, and like I don't I don't remember
what article I was reading, but I was saying, like
there have been a lot of efforts from like some
different leagues to like say, hey, no more fighting, like discontinue,
but like I think it is it's very unique to hockey.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
How like actually a brawl like that.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Can actually be strategic, and how it's got its place
in the game.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
It really does.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Yeah, I don't think it's going to leave the game.
I mean there's there's been talk about it again banned,
but I really don't see it, and all the players
love it. That's that I think. When it comes down
to the players voting on it, that's what they're gonna say.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
Yeah, it's it's part of the game, right.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
It just you can't remove it because it's the sense
of I'm going to protect my teammate, I'm gonna contact
my goal elier, I'm going to set the tone like
it has too big of an impact in the game
to remove itself from it.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I think, like obviously different sport, but like you kind
of look at football, Football's changes a lot now that
they won't let him do those massive hits. I guess
I don't necessarily know how much into football you guys are,
but there's a whole big deal. You look at people
like you have Ray Lewis in the backfield. You know,
you had Ed Reed and you had people that were
laying the hit. It was you know, very shotlage and
now it's very much so obviously like hey, the middle
of the field is pretty much open if you want it,

(23:58):
you can have it. Because any have hit that player's
gone flag.

Speaker 7 (24:02):
It's a flag, you know, hit with crowd of helmets.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, these massive hits and it's changed the changed the
pace of the game. And I think, like you said,
it's it's part of the environment for you guys for hockey.
Like those fights. Like I remember, you know, back when
I first kind of started watching hockey on the TV,
you know whatever, my dad would have it on. Later
you shoot see the brawl and you yeah, you look
upon YouTube and you're like NHL Hockey fights and HL

(24:25):
You're like, this is crazy. The reps are just letting
him fight, can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
My favorite, my favorite YouTube compilation. I don't know if
either one of you was are familiar with him, but
Derek Bouguard was a great player for the Minnesota Wild and.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
He's he was Ida.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
He was around when we were really little kids. But
he was a hell of a player. He was six
seven or six eight. He weighed like two hundred and
sixty pounds. He played a lot for the Wild, which
is why I know him from Minnesota. But almost it
seemed like every game he would get enough fights. And
he's got a nasty fight compilation. He beat the hell
out of some dude. So if there's if y'all are

(25:01):
looking for some inspiration on how to pounce.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Daniel with the clips. Next time you need to start
getting Sampson's was that his name? San Sandrack Sandrick get
a compilation going for him.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
I gotta go. You gotta get him on the podcast.
He's a good kid.

Speaker 6 (25:16):
It's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
We'll get Sandrack out here's interesting.

Speaker 7 (25:19):
He'll give you some if you want some stories, He'll
tell you some good stories.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Do you have any? Do you have any good stories?
Like what would say your best hockey story is obviously
like it's probably pretty happy you're getting drafted, being able
to come out here, be able to play, or something crazy.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
I think we could both have like some good like
just like like stories that could be like non related
to like winning necessarily more so just like road trips.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Or team bond anything like that.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
They can be great or they can sometimes be a
total ship show. I mean, right, we had last year
our trip to Green Bay actually was just awful.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
It was you beat the brakes off of this kid
up there.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
He wasn't there actually at that time, I wasn't. It
was like mid season for us last year and our
lineup was just like beat up. We had a couple
of guys already injured and like we were just not
looking too hot. We got steamrolled the first game. Our
captain gets hurt. The guy gets hurt.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
He was the captain at that time.

Speaker 6 (26:14):
Jimmy Jersev and then Malti also an assistant. He got hurt,
and then we just like we played the next game,
got pumped again, and then we get back on the
bus and everyone like, I mean like eight or ten
of the guys started just throwing up. The guy's got
food poisoning. So it's like this thirteen hour bus ride, everyone's.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
Just throwing up.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
No one gets a lick asleep.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
I'm just like here, guys go to the bathroom just
wretching it it was and never want to do that again.
Then the bus just smelled and no, horrible, horrible night.

Speaker 7 (26:53):
My first week in Green Bay. I don't know if
you can top that. My first week in Green Bay
was pretty bad. I joined, so our season we finished,
it was like March second.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
I got out there like.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
My birthday, and so our first game was versus Madison
on a Wednesday Wednesday night, and so we went to Madison.
I was in the lineup and we lost ten two
first game and we got a.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Goal from center ice and.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
We had a guy that fought and he just got
the break off him. So next morning we skated at
Madison's practice rink before we left because we were on
a road tip to then go to Omaha, and so
we had a practice that morning and our coach bagged
us and we skated the whole time in Madison. The
team we played the night before watched our skate and

(27:43):
they were like filming us.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
That's fit, that is, that's hard.

Speaker 7 (27:48):
We didn't block any shots next the night before, so
that morning we were we worked on blocking shots. So
guys were just taking one timers from the point, which
is just slap shots, and you were just getting down
on one knee and blocking the puck. And he kicked
four or five guys off the ice because they like
kind of flamingoed and got it.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, I won't.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
I won't.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
I won't say that we've done similar in lacrosse, but
there's been moments in which it's like, you're gonna learn
how to not be afraid of this.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yeah, and it.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Realized that that ruse will go away.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yeah, okay, and it got worse. So we we actually
got on the bus. We went to Omaha, and Omaha
at the time was the worst team in the league.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, we had we talk about about my lanswersner the
past few seasons, I've out a rough guy. Yea.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
They only had six wins I think at the time.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
So we get to Omaha after all that and like
this is my first game, he was like, this is
my first week.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
I'm like, man, like, where did where am I? And
so we played Friday night.

Speaker 7 (28:38):
I ended up getting like my first goal in the
league and went fine, we won, and that Saturday, our
coaches like, you guys better sweep like this team is awful, right,
lose for to one to the worst team in the
league by far, and one of the best teams, and
one of our guys gets injured, and like we got
an eight hour busser ahead of us.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
We're not getting home till five am.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
First week in the league was tough, and I know,
like some of the captains were coming up to me
and being like, hey, like, this isn't.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
How it usually. That's all I knew.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
It will get better.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
I promise this league's actually yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I know you want to hit the portal, but I
promise we got big things ahead of you. I promised
those are miserable. I never oh that green. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Your bus ride home sounds terrible.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
It was.

Speaker 6 (29:27):
It was over half the team was thrown up. I
want to but I felt fine.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
But I mean, all that's crazy.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
The same guys coming up to the bathroom.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
Just the line at the bathroom too.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Oh my gosh, I couldn't even imagine. And you guys,
another long bus ride just this week. I'm getting back
to the current season. You got you boys got Youngstown
this weekend, Friday and Saturday, right, I think you got
a double header?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yes, correct, Yeah, and that is gonna be a hell
of a bus ride.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
And this is this is a genuine question for these
road trips, especially a really long one like Youngstown, because
that's gonna be a couple thirteen fourteen hours bus.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Will you guys do that in two days?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Like?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Or will you just hop in the bus and say
we're getting this done?

Speaker 6 (30:07):
Yeah? One. I think we're gonna head out Wednesday evening
and then at pitched up Thursday somewhere to skate hopefully.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Well we have a sleeper bus.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Okay, Really it was for the longer trips, so it's
the bus actually has twenty five beds. Yeah, so it's
like if you think of a coach bus kind of
like if the bus is longer, right, And so you
walk up in this bus and there's there's usually a
couch that one of the coaches sleep on in like
two comfy chairs, and then it's a couple of beds
peel down from the ceiling. And then once you kind

(30:36):
of get back by the kind of like the lounge area,
which is where the coaches and our you know, equipment
staff and.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
Our media guys say, then you get into just the
bunk beds and so it's it's a rows.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
The bunks are like six feet in like two inches,
so most guys fit them.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
But it's over that rom box.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
Yeah, but it's three high, so there's three beds and
then on each side, so there's actually twenty five beds.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
So guys sleep.

Speaker 7 (31:02):
So we had like for Pittsburgh, we left at like
seven at night and just drove throughout the night.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
We all slept.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
Yeah, but yeah, I don't know if we're I would
assume we're just gonna leave Wednesday night get their Thursday
practice in Youngstown.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
Yeah, hopefully we just get there practicetown Thursday evening, so
you can take some good naps on those. Oh, I
can imagine are kind of hilarious because you just past house.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
I've had nights.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
But like before the very first time I did a
half marathon, because I was I was a very okay
cross country and track running high school and I still
run on occasion. Before my first half marathon, it was
like my roommates that year they had never had anyone
over because this was freshman year. I'm still in the dorms,
just like right over there, they hadn't had any social
events at all that year.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
And then I'm not gonna lie. I was there and
I dud remember this night, the night.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Before the race, my roommates said, you know what, let's
have a few folks over and let's get to let's
get to mousing.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
So they it.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Was, we had we had fun.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
It was it was.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
It was a long night.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
It was a loud night, and I'm just in the
next room over, eyes wide open, I'm wide awake. So
I rip a couple of Nike will and just like
I'm out like that.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
I remember, I remember, right right before you do that,
you walk out and you go.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Bro, please, I'm trying to sleep in.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
I was pleading with you, please let me be quiet.
I went to bed and woke up just fine. But yeah,
those those coach bud That sounds like a good nap,
especially after a big game.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
Yeah it is. And it's a good time too, Like
it's a team bonding.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
It's an opportunity for all the guys to get together, like,
oh for sure, we do like some like rookie idol,
like the rookies gotta sing.

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Oh yeah, some fun times. It's it's good. It's the
stuff you'll remember about your rockey.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
So, who's got the best singing voice on the team
currently or who's who's the best d Anderson? Darian Anderson
number nineteen, Darien Anderson?

Speaker 3 (32:56):
What's it? What's his go to song? If he is
up to bat at?

Speaker 6 (32:58):
Carry out roots?

Speaker 9 (33:00):
Uh No, when I was your man, yep, that was
such a good sord killed he did a good job.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Would you guys have to do for your rookie rookie stuff?

Speaker 6 (33:15):
I did rookie idol?

Speaker 7 (33:17):
Yeah, I did rookie idol. I had to pay for
We do like a rookie dinner. Yeah, that's really We
keep it low key. Like we're not like it's very like.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
It's not like the NFL where they got paid forty
million dollars to No.

Speaker 7 (33:29):
Yeah, the rookies, the rookies on our team really like everyone.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
We treat everyone like that. No one's treated like.

Speaker 7 (33:36):
Yeah right, but like we do like stuff that like
most teams would do, like yeah, rookie dinner, like we
went to it was like a show. Okay, yeah, we
all you know, made sure we got a lot of
food and they had to pay for it.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
I think that's only fair.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
That's a that's a fair price to pay as a rookie.
If I'm if I'm a Lincoln Star and I've been
around the block a couple of years and I see real, yeah,
I'm going to be like, you're buying me a double
bubble at Culvers.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
With Some of the fun little things we do is
do a shoe check, so we uh, when we were
at team dinner, it's just like out about we'll just
play some food on our rookies foot and if they
don't notice it, we'll call it. We'll call a little meeting,
tap on the glass and we go shoot check. Whoever's
got food has to stand up and sing a song
on their chair in front of the whole restaurant.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
I had to do that.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
It is genuinely just like it's awesome. It's it's like
so funny to watch coaches. The restaurant just loves it.
They like give us a plot after they eat it up.

Speaker 7 (34:33):
I had to do it in Green Bay and it
was like I don't remember. I sang like a rap
song and it got the restaurant going. But it was
pretty funny, like I think they put like butter.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
On my shoe or something, and I had no idea.
Everyone was like shoe.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
Check and I'm looking at my shoes and there's like
butter on my shoe and I was like what, Like
what's going on.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
I'm going to get the singing boys. That's great.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
These are this this whole vibe just kind of it
reminds me of like youth sports days like that, like
just not to be bad.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
But it reminds me like when I was in like
you know, eighth grade A or Triple A baseball, Like
you go on a little weekend trip down to local
Kansas city and it's like all right, well Friday night,
we're on not to dinner.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Whole team goes out to dinner. You got the whole booth,
run and out.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
It's like it's literally just like a bunch of kids.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah yeah right, I mean, because what, what's the oldest
guy on your team?

Speaker 6 (35:19):
Well, I mean, so age out year is your twenty
year old year. So yeah, you can turn twenty one
during the season, but turned twenty one during the season,
you gotta start taking classes, okay, but then after that
that's your age down and you gotta be in college
after that.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
So it's just an extremely souped up version of what
we did back in late elementary middle school when it's
like hopping the car kittles. We're head to Des Moines,
Iowa for a little soccer.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Journey and not a bad and not a bad way.
It's kind of like the club lacrosse team.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Gotta get after it.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
On the weekends. But then also, you guys take it
a lot more serious. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
We uh, we're more beer.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
Lead than anything. Yeah, we're focused every day pretty much.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, because you practic us every day you get Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
We're super dout.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
Yeah, Sundays are off day.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
Sundays are one off day. You're skating, you're practicing twice
a day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, working out three days a week,
and then Thursday's your prep day and then you play
Friday Saturday.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
It's like, do you guys watch like film and kind
of have those sessions like that as well?

Speaker 6 (36:16):
Yeah every day.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Yeah, we have film every day.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
You're going like one is like you mentioned like solo work.
You probably do what solo in the morning? Team practice?

Speaker 6 (36:26):
H No, I mean you got like skills sessions are
like kind of the afternoon, but I guess that practice
right away in the morning, and I guess it's like
solo work because you're you're just getting reps and like
certain movement and stuff. And so obviously our practices are
just a rough plan based off of what we watched
in video.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Okay, so kind of seeing like what you need to
do we.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
Need to work on.

Speaker 7 (36:47):
But our coach do a good job with development too,
like they take pride and like making sure like we
can work our own skill work and they give us
free ice.

Speaker 5 (36:54):
So if we ever.

Speaker 7 (36:55):
Want to go out there and work on our own stuff,
like there's that opportunity to do that too, if you
want to take advantage of it.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Is it more like a set time or is it
pretty much like twenty four to seven whatever you.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
Want time usually ten, ten thirty round the ice every morning.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
And where do you and where do you guys?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Like because obviously like you're on the ice on the
ice box because y'all own that rink. It's it's your guys,
which I think has got to be really nice thing
to have huge advantages having your own space that you
don't got to share with anyone else, because some teams
don't have that. A lot of the teams, I know,
Sue Falls plays in like a really massive arena.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
I don't know if they own that.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
I highly have that practice rink. They have a practice ring.

Speaker 7 (37:27):
That was the same thing green Bay. Green Bays Rink
was like we sat nine thousand.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
They would you usually get pretty good crowds.

Speaker 7 (37:31):
They Our crowds in Green Bay were usually like six,
oh yeah, that's good tough, which is kind of like
Sue Falls suit Ball is the same thing.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
We were there for Sue Falls.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
They're opening they had like seven seven.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
I checked the attendance it was like sixty seven hundred
people because I was looking through games, like in the
Pittsbury opening, like a thousand people, twelve hundred and sixty
seven hundred and sixty so what the hell.

Speaker 7 (37:49):
Yeah, But because because it's such a big arena, they
obviously obviously they do like concerts and different events. Yeah,
so usually obviously you have your locker room there, but
then you have like a practice rink with the locker room,
and like, it's just kind of nice here because there
it was like you're always at the practice rank, and
then you're at the game rank practice rank, and you're
always moving your gear and it's just kind.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
Of like it's a little bit of a hassle.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
So yeah, it's nice to like be in one icebox.

Speaker 7 (38:12):
You have your gym which is connected to our locker room,
and you have our locker room and everything's in the
same spot.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
So it's it's pretty easy.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Well, you boys answered my question my next question perfectly.
I was gonna ask, do you be lifting at separate locations?
But nope, that's right in the icebox. I'm sure you
do film that too.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
We just started lifting at a separate location once like
once a week. We got oh yeah, but we still
we still mainly just lifted.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
What do you guys, what's that second location?

Speaker 6 (38:34):
Spartan, Oh, okay, yeah, fifty yeah, over on O Street. Yeah,
we got a new he's a new trainer this year.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So interesting. So obviously different positions, right, and you play
defense and your forward right wing? Right wing. So how's
that you talk about like individual skill work things like that.
Is it that big of a difference between like what
you're working on, what you're focusing on.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
I could never do with his job on the blue line,
and I can never do his job with the walls.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Well, I mean we're seeing points put up by UK.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 7 (39:05):
Yeah, Like I mean I'm a d man, but I
got my offensive in the sense that like I you.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Got the green light.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah, I get in the play a time.

Speaker 7 (39:12):
I'm on the power play, like I kind of like
I like to get in the rush.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
But also like it's it's two ways.

Speaker 7 (39:19):
Like even though like Dash the forward, like dashes oftentimes
doing a lot of work in the D zone, like
he's got in the corners if he needs to be
at the front of the night's the front of that.
And the same thing for me in the sense that
like it's just the opposite, Like I'm in the D zone.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
That's my main job.

Speaker 7 (39:31):
Like I get a ton done in the ozone because
I'm able to kind of get the green lights, you know,
jump in the rush.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
You have to have like the confidence be at any spot.
But in terms of like the skills you're gonna focus on,
it's gonna be a lot deffinite point shots and like
retrieval type maneuvers, and I'm gonna work on like like
downlow cup backs and talk quick like like tipping shots
and then like just quick shots to the net and
stuff like that. So it's just it's a little bit different.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
But what I'll say is your strong and weakest aspect
of your games something that you got to work on,
is what we asked Rombach. And I'm just kind of
curiously where there's what your guys like confidences are like
the most confident aspect of your game, at least confident
that you know you need work on.

Speaker 7 (40:12):
I'd say I need like right now on a personal note,
like I got to work on just kind of like
a speed aspect.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
A little bit.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
Like I'm a bigger guy, so I feel like, you know,
like there's a lot of.

Speaker 7 (40:23):
Really good forwards in this league, and like you know,
on a consistent basis, like trying to shut down their
first line, like you got to be able to stop
some really good hockey players. And I think, you know,
like my speed needs to obviously continue can get better,
and I think everything can get better, like obviously.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Nothing's good enough.

Speaker 7 (40:38):
But yeah, like I think that's a aspect for me
right now. And then like just kind of focusing in
like on like some positioning in the d zone. But
like I think I have like a strong suit of
like being able to get in the play or like
making plays nose on, like making passes. I'm not really
a shot first guy, more of a look to make
a dish and sure.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
I think where he's going point yeah, still pointing step.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
Definitely for me, like puck protection like mm hmm, puck
handling skills is like not my strongest suit. Yeah, I've
always because my biggest strength is my speed. I've got
really quick feet, so I've kind of just used that
as like kind of like as a cheat. I think
growing up, yeah, always to skate around people. So like
working on like my moves wasn't always like it's important
to me, but it's definitely growing into more like an

(41:25):
importance now having more deception and so so that's mainly
what I've been focusing on is just being a little
bit more you know, hard to read. You know, I
think think if I can do that, I can bring
my game now.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Growing up. Obviously big emphasis on hockey. We talked about
this off the air, But both of you guys also
played lacrosse, correct, Yes, yeah, three of lacrosse. Obviously they
were probably better than I was. I was just a
poor midwestern guy. It's not really big out here. But
do you feel that lacrosse in ways has helped you
or is it more of like you used hockey to

(41:57):
help your across.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
If yes, yes, in the sense of like cradling, like handling. Yeah,
I think.

Speaker 7 (42:05):
Uh, Like I said, I've got some buddies who kind
of played big time across and actually.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
One of them was on my give him a shout out. Well, yeah,
Cayden Freelove, who's that pu? He was a he's a
d pole.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
So did you play? What did you guys play? Just curious?

Speaker 6 (42:20):
I played center.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
I was I was center min you mean like midfielder
I was.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
I was a deep, I was a long pole or
true d. I was am and then I also played
That's what.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
I played in high school. And now I play whatever
they want me to I was.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
I was the face off guy that, oh you were
a fog?

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, do you want to join the university here?

Speaker 7 (42:40):
We could use one, but yeah no, Like he would
always say, like the cradling and then like obviously, like
the shooting is just like different movements.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
But he always felt like just like the cardio and
stuff always got him in cheap for hockey. So we
love that. But he was like it. He was a
big time lacrosse player, Like he was like an under
arm all mayor. Yeah, he was legit.

Speaker 7 (43:01):
So like he obviously was very a lot better than
I ever was, or he was, so it's a little different,
but like, yeah, I think there is some parts.

Speaker 5 (43:10):
Of across that to translate to hockey a little.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Bit good, like hand eye coordination.

Speaker 5 (43:14):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
I've always thought that that's something that athletes today growing
up are like missing out on. I feel like there's
such an emphasis on people specializing in one sport, and
this is something that we briefly hit on in other episodes.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
But multiple I feel like we talk about this anytime
we talk about or have someone on, we talk about it,
and it's.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Something I'm most passionate about because I think that like,
reflecting on it, I wish I would have played more sports,
but people are like starting to It's just getting more
and more common for people to specialize in one sport
and just stick with it. But playing multiple sports yield
so many benefits. And I wish I would have done
to supplement my cross country track, you know, done like
a little bit of a I don't know, just any

(43:51):
other sports, soccer, just something to work different muscles, because
I think that would have helped me the long run.
Running year round can kind of beat you into the ground.
And I mean, hey, we got two examples right here.
Why being a multi sport athlete and yield some benefits.
Now they're playing one of the top.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
Guys play anything else other than lacrosse.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
No, I don't back golf.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
I like, I love it.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
Like he's he's a good golfer.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Do you go to the courses here?

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Yeah, we play a little bit. I don't like just
a team play too.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
A lot of play golf. Yeah, but this guy's this
guy's good. He can hit the ball.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (44:27):
I just got into it when I was young, and
my grandpa loved it, got me into it.

Speaker 5 (44:30):
I think it's like such again in the summers, I'll
play like fifty forty rounds a summer, Like jeez.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I would never like go out to a golf course
with and hop on a driving range with the intention
of like I'm going to hit balls over and over
again till I'm a great player. But it's it's so
much fun to just hop out on the course and
even if I'm shanking it, it's just like it's great
to be on.

Speaker 7 (44:50):
Yeah. It's one of those things where like you can
play golf until the day you die.

Speaker 5 (44:55):
Yeah, you can play to your ninety five.

Speaker 7 (44:56):
So I'm like I don't need to be like I'll
never be better than I am now just because I
don't work on it enough, right, Yeah, But like because
like it's at the golf one of those sports where
like unless you're like so unbelievably committed to like getting
so good at for finding your little details. Like for example,
like I'm like a five or six handicap, like to
get god to get to get from a five into

(45:19):
a one, Like it was so easy for me to
get to a twelve to five because that's all like
managing double bogies and like, yeah, you know, like little
strips three putting around the greens.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Yeah, I'll make sure that the next time.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
I've never three put it once in my life. Come on,
you think I'm amateur.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I'm putting four strokes.

Speaker 7 (45:36):
But like to get from five to one, like your
short game has to become so good, and you have
to become so consistent, and obviously I first of all
don't have the time for that. I also just don't
really have the care factor. But like that's one of
those things that like it's just how it It's just
how it is.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
Like golf's one of those sports it's like you have
to be so just dialed in.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
It really is just one of those sports we've taken.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Dylan, you got anything else, like interview wise, because I
think I'm ready to demonstrate my hockey skills because we're
gonna put it to detest, because because I will get waxed.
I've done a lot of cross country and track in
my day, but you can't count me out with hockey
because I was I was an all star boot hockey
player up in Minnesota, you know the backyard hockey League.

(46:19):
I was a dominant forward. I was scoring goals every
which way. You know, boot hockey. I wasn't a great skater,
but you throw on the boots with the neighbors in
the backyard on a frozen pond. Yeah, and I'm smacking
them in from half ice. I could play, And I
think I might have a future in professional game.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
And if I stick to this NHL thing, because.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Boy, I think I'm about to get waxed.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Yeah, it's just complete bs coming out of my mouth.
It's just vomited the mouth. I am completely atrocious at
this game. But we're gonna give her a shot. We're
gonna try something a little different. We'll play a little
NHL with the guys here and if I if I'm on,
we'll do I think we can do teams.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, yeah, so we actually have a slight problem.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Needs to be plugged in.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
For that that help you play the game. If it
wasn't plugged in, that'd be a rough deal.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Get some threes going, Yeah, you want to do just
do like threes? Yeah, let's just put these threes?

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Sure, whatever, why not, let's some Dylan.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
I think I don't know. I I think I think
you're driving.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Apparently I'm driving, So I'll hit X.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
To dismiss that. Bad boy, let me get the screen
pulled up.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Here go to Uh, you can go to offline, offline.
I can do it.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
I think you have control. Yeah, if you have control,
kickover what you need to do.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
We'll do a NHL three. There we go.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Yeah, well, here we go.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
Threes now right, threes now?

Speaker 6 (47:41):
Yeah, twenty three is solid. I played this a decent amount,
but not too much. Any twenty four. I didn't get
it all. My teammates said.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
They hate it.

Speaker 7 (47:49):
So dude, I just ever really like, I just I
can't get into sports video games.

Speaker 6 (47:54):
I just video games. I can't get off.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
But you have got to be kidding.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Hit A.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Let's see how long this is offline?

Speaker 5 (48:04):
We're good now, Okay, we're doing offline.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
I thought after read after all this time, I'm orange.

Speaker 9 (48:13):
I'm blue, I'm blue in all right.

Speaker 5 (48:18):
Yeah, we'll do three random shuffle check our teams.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
So it might be a little tough for I think.
I think the camera's working fine.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
But it's me and Dash right here taking on Dylan
and Cayden and what is going to be one of
the most intense NHL games ever streamed, ever broadcast.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
The camel was crazy.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
You like the camel. Camel was Crocky Cancer do that
for ober Let's do that Frock.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Let's let's do it. Let's show some recognition.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
So obviously play your team is very obviously the Lincoln Stars.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
Do you guys have NHL teams?

Speaker 2 (48:50):
I would assume are you Chicago from Chicago, big black Hawks? Guy? Here?

Speaker 6 (48:55):
I feel like, should I I mean, do you have it?
Do you have a team? What I mean?

Speaker 5 (48:59):
Like I you, but like I feel like I probably
should say Nashville. I'll just yeah, yeah, I'll say Nashville.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
He's a Nashville guy.

Speaker 6 (49:05):
But yeah, the death.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Camp there, so you feel like you you feel.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Like you should say Nashville. Is there another Is there
another team in the background hanging out there?

Speaker 5 (49:13):
But yeah, I was a Boston fan through and through.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
I kind of figured being a coasty kid.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, yeah, that that adds up.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
We got a Boston in Nashville and we got a
Chicago fan. My wild have had a rough beat over
some of these past seasons.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
We just can't win in the post, you can't win
in the playoffs, just can't get her done.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
You gotta figure out what happens. I guess.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Can you make sure that doors closed all the way.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Beautiful, but I think we let her rip player one.

Speaker 6 (49:41):
Yeah, threes is pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
All right, So I have no idea how to play.
I think I've played like four years ago.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
I mean like I played like one game a little
earlier this week to get some reps in this.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Just cheating.

Speaker 10 (49:53):
So rigged pass shoot extas shoot you shoot with the
Thanks for letting me now the controls to make the
buttons shoe, but usually it's the joysticks that you just
way to do it.

Speaker 5 (50:08):
Okay, which guy, I might agree?

Speaker 3 (50:12):
I'm blue and you're you're red. I think you got
Archie's pass.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
You're going I'm going the wrong way.

Speaker 6 (50:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh I hate playing South get his
ash Okay, wait, hold on, that's me.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
That's me.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
Oh yeah, big hit. But you're blue, you're blue?

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Yeah? Oh, I didn't mean to do that. I don't
How do I fight someone.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
I want to start a big brawl. I want by
the end of the game. I don't want anyone on
the ice because everyone's in the in the locker getting
early players.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
By hey, I just figure as well.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Oh my god, I got he's got murdered.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Pull up, I'm going down the ice. Oh they were
almost coming. They don't almost coming, big hit.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Bo oh, I thought I had a big body check.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Oh this is this is? Oh my god, why is
your goalie? Why is the goalie so good? How do
we get to him? Okay, okay, that's crazy, okay, okay.

Shut up? You push it off?

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Okay, Oh.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Hit a selling hit, a selling ken ken the set.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Don't leave that man hanging there.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
I'm so focused on trying to watch the seventh. That's
something cool.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
He's gonna have been so dialed in, I thought I
must be reading the screen. I probably got to get
my periord.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
I'm killing him, killing very good. This is this is.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Oh I'm away. You do have the control set? Oh no,

Oh my no, that's all that's so on me?

Speaker 5 (51:47):
Are you playing?

No, I just want to be like rom Bach and
my guy comes up to me and just runs right
into me and like a brick wall baby, nothing doing.

I tried to get it off. Did I get it off?
Put it away? Hit a dish?

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Oh no, no, I directed, I put the joystick the
wrong way.

Gotta be laying the smack down. Is this foreshadowing for Youngstown?
Are we going to see some big hits?

Speaker 6 (53:19):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (53:19):
Yeah, we are young It's gritty. I can't tell you
right now.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
I'm playing back.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
That Waterloo game was about as gritty as they come.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Oh no, oh.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Was that period or something?

Speaker 3 (53:32):
Period?

Speaker 6 (53:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Okay, that was period?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Why am I My heart's looking that that flag football game.
Got my heart beating, got me sweating a little bit.
But this is I'm dying now, all right, got it's

I was about to say, we got one step closer
and you hit.

Speaker 6 (56:43):

shot to.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Killing.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
Oh take no way. Oh this is a great this

If you like push like, you gotta aim.

Speaker 3 (57:30):

Speaker 2 (57:32):
And I didn't realize you could make subs this game.

Speaker 6 (57:35):
We don't.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
We don't need them. We don't need them.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I
was always my.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
Favorite, one of my favorite parts about hockey. Subs on
the fly. I always thought it was the coolest thing.

Speaker 7 (57:46):
Yeah, honestly that I feel like most people when are
asking how I asked questions about hockey, I.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Feel like good defense. Sorry, I let that one go.

Speaker 7 (57:54):
Oh, Like, the first question is always summing, how does
work something work?

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (57:58):
And you know what? Now, how like briefly because we're.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Oh, because we're.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
I mean, we're obviously dialed here. But how do substitutions work?

Speaker 3 (58:08):
I mean, I know, you guys got lines, you just
whenever not get tired.

Speaker 6 (58:12):
Yeah, you get tired so fast and you're talking.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
Yeah, Oh, I don't doubt it.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Put that shit away on him?

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Oh okay, I'm.

Speaker 7 (58:19):
Gonna yeah, no, you it's like usually you're you know,
it's the ideas you're out there for forty five seconds.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
But I was just gonna I was just gonna ask that.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
Like very depending on how your shift's going on a
lot of these like what, there's a lot more that
goes into it.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Sure, Oh yeah, is to say, because like lacrosse is
obviously a little like similar in the aspect that put
that shit away is that you know, you know you
can sub whenever you Oh that you can sub whenever
you want, as long as you know you're in coming
in and out of the box. Is that really kind
of the same way. If you're like, let's say you're
thirty seconds in of the penalty, but you are into
the you know your shift, but you've been running up

(58:56):
and down the ice, are you Can you sub out
and hey, give me a breather?

Speaker 5 (59:01):
Yeah you can't.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Oh yeah, took his ass out? Put that away.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
Oh, great work, keep great work.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
I'm getting there. I'm taking your Oh. Okay, that's awkward.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
There's no way, there's no way.

Speaker 5 (59:22):
What okay, let it out. Yeah, just let it out,
let it out.

Speaker 12 (59:25):

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
When I did absolutely nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
Project we need I I need one more game. Let's
switch this time, me and Kayden, you and Dash.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
Still still well, I'm warmed up. What's gonna happen? Well,
and we'll make this. This is the final order of business.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
But we're we'll conduct an official experiment and see what
what was Dylan putting on the master class or was
it Cayden just putting in?

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):

put up. I did have the elite pass?

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):

someone's got a pass. If it's two points, it's two assists, right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
Someone's got to just controllers here.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):

Oh my goodness, that's how is that not him?

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Dude, get down the field. I don't even know your name.
Give me something that was So let me ask you
this one. You know, obviously you guys play for play
for the stars. You know you're around in Lincoln. Do
you guys have much of a culture with a lot
of with any of the you know, the sports teams,
with the college elite, with college.

Speaker 7 (01:07:21):
We want to Yeah, it's just a little is it
be cool? But I think they're just you know, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
So focused in there.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that the college I'm sure
it's honestly a struggle trying to get like the college
sports teams, like just the teams at the university integrated
with each other because like imagine like the football team
hanging out with like I don't know, the tennis team.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
Yeah, get that man out. I'm sure it just don't
happen that much. But that would be cool.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
To What the hell is that more of a relation?

Speaker 5 (01:07:48):
Like we love a football game?

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
Oh? I thought what an elite?

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
I thought that was a nail on the coffin. Can
I get a goal?

Speaker 7 (01:07:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
I cannot.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
Yeah, seeing a connection with the university would be sweet.
Imagine halftime at the football game and they introduced your
Clark Cup champion Lincoln Stars.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
How si could that be? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:08:13):
Now we we like, I don't know, I think it's
just tough because they're obviously going to college here and
we're stuff focused on hockey that like, you know, like
it's tough to find time.

Speaker 5 (01:08:23):
But like we definitely think like the football.

Speaker 7 (01:08:24):
Team school and oh yeah, the guys in the basketball team,
like we'll probably go to a basketball game or too.
So sure we try to supports if we can, but
it's just tough fight.

Speaker 6 (01:08:33):
Like we're all busy schedules.

Speaker 7 (01:08:34):
And I imagine you know, balance in school, which we'll
be doing next year.

Speaker 5 (01:08:38):
Dash, It's it's tough.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
Yeah right, yeah, So do you guys, do you guys
do anything with like the club hockey team for Lincoln,
Like obviously obviously we do stuff with.

Speaker 6 (01:08:46):
The Lincoln youth hockey Nice.

Speaker 6 (01:10:14):
I'm just embarrassing. It's an embarrassing effort.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
It was, It was really rough.

Speaker 1 (01:10:19):
I'm sure Rocky Russo would have something. Oh my god,
our ability did that go through him? It looked like it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:24):
Looked like it just went through him. To be honest
with you, it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
Looked like it went through him.

Speaker 6 (01:10:28):
That was driving far post. Was that good in this game?
I suppose tough.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
I gotta go back. I hope the game audio didn't
just overshadow us. I don't think it did. The game
audio was like somewhat loud. We'll have to go check it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Out, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
So yeah, well it's the you can't hear in the
heap ones, but you can like the levels over there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
Yeah, so one of these wires runs down to the
box over there that kind of splits everything.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Yeah. But hey, you know what, even if we even
if it's a little tough to hear us, it was
just fun to hop on hop on the game. Yeah,
you gotta get you gotta get some run. Yeah, some child,
you gotta get some challenge. It's good for the soul. Well, gentlemen,
I think that concludes our time. I don't got anything
else enjoyed having.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
You boys on.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
