Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Bear Smokehouse Barbecue. It is the Yukon
Hockey Coaches Show. Huskies will play U mass in a
pair of games this weekend. Game one is in Amherst
on Friday night and then game two seven o'clock at Toscano.
Our next radio broadcast, because the Yankees made it to
the World Series, will do the home We'll do the
two games of the Vermont Series in the first week. Yeah.
We're all Red Sox fans, so yeah, we're all booming.
(00:21):
We were supposed to do Friday night's game up at
up at amhers but that is.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Not getting into the Cleveland team, you know, and watch
them play. But you know, have some friends in Cleveland
and they're die hard fans. They've been in they've been
probably a worse situation than the Red Sox fans. Oh yeah,
the last time the Tribes.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
They yeah, forty something, they've got the longest drought as
it stands. Yeah, and ironically they beat the Red Sox
to get into the World Series the one game playoff
in forty eight.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And route again against the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah. Lou Boudrou the inventor of the shift, by the way,
on Ted Williams. That's old school stuff. Uh, Mike, we
mentioned going into the break you had to start Thomas
Haney in that because time Usili got hurt at the
end of the second Holy Cross game, made a fantastic
save on the play he got hurt. But what are
your thoughts on what Thomas gave you on the Friday night?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You know, it's a tough situation for him. I think
to start the season he was if he's going to
get into a college game. I don't think he was
expecting to start the BU game at BU. But he
did a great job. He did. He gave us a
chance to win the hockey game, and that's all I
could ask of him. So he stepped up in a
big situation.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So you you kind of said it there where it's
okay if he if he gets in, wouldn't have expected
to be that one. So what conversations did you have
as you're looking to bring him in from It's a
junior team in Maine, and so it's a little bit
atypical of a pedigree for a guy that would come
in and start against the number three team in the country.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, well, we recruited him, you know, as a third
string goaltender. Not that being said, we're going to play
the best players, but certainly you know Ty had had
experience and Callum had a very decorated junior career out
in BC. So you know, on your depth chart on paper,
(02:15):
you had those two ahead of Tommy. But both of
them have suffered some injuries here and that's the way
it goes.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You can get any either one of the injured goalies back
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
We're hoping too. Yeah, we're hoping to.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, Callum hasn't got her in preseason, right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, Yeah, he's had an upper body injury and he's
been out. He hasn't practiced, so I don't think he's
practicing this week either.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, So then what does it look like in practice?
Are you just practicing with one guy in net? Or
does Vince get to strap it on.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well, there's another student we brought in to put on
the roster just to help in practice from the club team.
I don't even think he was playing on the club team,
but he had reached out to Vince earlier saying that
if we ever needed anybody, he had played some He
had played some college hockey Division III, and then he
transferred to Yukon and he's getting a degree at Yukon.
(03:06):
So he's been he's been great. He's filled in.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Who's who's the school that recently had to do that? Mack?
That's right. Yeah, that's crazy, that's wild. Have you ever
had a situation like that where you've had to bring
someone in and and uh, actually have to play him? No,
not yet, Yeah that way. Let's let's talk Thomas a
(03:32):
little bit here. He's six to one Oceanport, New Jerseys
where he's from. Uh, what are some of the intangibles? Okay,
your jobs to stop the puck? He does that? But
does how does he handle the puck? What's he handles it?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Pretty well? I thought that his most impressive quality was
how cool and calm and collected. He was like, that's
a you know, you said there was homecoming weekend. That's
a tough building to play in. It's a hostile crowd,
and it didn't look like it phased him at all.
You know, he, like I said, he made some big
saves early and he gave us a chance to win.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah. Bet that was the thing. Watching from Afar on television,
it felt like one of those situations where having to
make an early save got him settled in pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, it did. You know, he didn't he had
to make a few. He didn't have to make anything
crazy early on. But no, I thought he did. You know,
he stopped a breakaway. Actually he stopped breakaway early, So yeah,
I thought the guys rallied around him and as I said,
he gave us everything he had.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
How much notice did he have about being the goalie?
I mean Ty got hurt and the Holy Cross game.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, he did practice Thursday, but he couldn't, you know,
have to practice on Thursday. He just wasn't healthy enough
to play against Bu.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
So I was doing a little map. Vince is in
his early thirty so he's just beyond.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
His birthday today, Vince.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Happy birthday. Is Was it ever a thought that he
might have to get it in practice?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Okay? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
How do you got his first goal of the year? Yes,
breakaway first period in a first period that sounded like
you guys played very very well. Is following on Twitter
while I was at a family function. But how do
he finally got off, gets off the shelf and gets
the first one to go in?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
He did? Yeah, he you know, he was battling a
respiratory issue the first basically the first month of school,
and I think against BU was the first time I
saw him where he looked like his old self, like
he battled through Colgate and he battled through Holy Cross
just because that's who he is. But he had not
been feeling one hundred healthy, and I thought he had
(05:47):
a lot of jump and was was really into the
game at BU.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And to this point in the season, points wise, Jake
Percival has been outstanding. But he had the shorthanded goal
against Boston Universe, So it was a bit of a
give and go situation. Was that an intentional drop pass
when he was rushing down ice on the short handed
bid or with that?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So I think I think Taber was yelling for it
so and he was. He was kind of boxed. The
defenseman had a pretty good gap on him. So it
was a really nice play and then Taber giving it
back to him and it was a good finish.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, we're going to talk to Taber. He's one of
our guests along with Ryan Tettle tonight I'm the Coaches Show.
Tabor will be first. You mentioned this I think last
week or the week before with Jake's good start Percival.
In fact, both Jake's are off the good starts scoring
the puck. But they're both juniors now, they're both stepping up,
and obviously part of it is the progression of just
getting better and being more comfortable now that you were
(06:44):
in your third year.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, I think the hallmark of a good program is
that when kids are juniors and seniors they start having
their best years. You want to see improvement throughout players.
I've said for years, I always thought Dick humilliate you
and h did a great job with that because you know,
Jason Kragg was a kid who had four goals as
(07:06):
a freshman and then he has thirty as a sophomore.
You know, he would just they had kids that you'd
be like, where's this kid been, and they just, you know,
they played, and they might play third fourth line minutes
or ten minutes a game, and then by the time
they're juniors and seniors, they're high end players. So that's
one of the things that we want to keep developing
players and you know, their best years of hockey. We
(07:29):
want them to be their junior and senior years at Yukon.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Both goals that were scored Chandor and Percival. It was
moved that forced Kuran to go one side to the
other and then slide it through the five hole. How
much practice and patience? Is that just one more tool
in the tool bag or is that something that you
guys work on because it is such an effective way
to beat the goalie.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, you see a lot of great goal scorers. They
try to shoot five hole because the goalie's got to
move his legs when you move the puck one way
there the howe he moved there from the kind of
backhand to his forehand. The goalie's got to respect that,
and if he doesn't, then he can shoot the puck,
you know, far side. But when the goalie moves his feet,
you know, there's an art to sliding it through. Jonathan
(08:13):
Taves used to be fantastic at it. He was so
good at it. And Sydney Crosby's very good at it,
So there is a skill to it.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
We come back, we'll get an up there on the
freshman some of them making some impacts and one, uh, well,
about a week and a half ago in his first
game scored his first goal. That would be Trey Scott.
