00:00You
00:30You
00:45Kind of to
00:48Friendly games shall we say between the flies and Bindi?
00:52You're not really looking at wins and losses. You are you what are you talking about at all?
00:57It makes a little different when everybody else does but
01:04As far as the the weekend for me was just what I was looking for just to evaluate
01:10Players, but I want to give guys a chance to play
01:15You know as in past years Shane Owen eats up most of the minute takes most of those holy minutes unless he's hurt
01:22and
01:24you know, he plays he played did a great job when he was in there and
01:29Think he left the game with a lead today. I think we were up to one which was positive and anyway
01:37We I thought the first period we totally dominated, you know, I think we had the puck the whole time and
01:47As the second period I think
01:50A little more even but and then they you know, they scored some scored
01:56We obviously we didn't but we battled back and tied the game up, which was really good. Then we turn one over deep
02:03But all in all just to look at the
02:07Whole show. I wasn't I see things. We know I know we need to work on
02:13But all in all I know we got some skill up there and
02:18Like tower defense will move the puck. We had a couple key guys not play today
02:23But everybody got a chance to play
02:26And I was able to you know, basically evaluate players
02:32Okay, you did a good job out there today James Fentz chipped in
02:39We scored
02:41You know when we had to but you know, you want to win at home we didn't win at home today
02:46But I still think that
02:49we
02:51We did a lot of things well, however, you know, you got to cut down turnovers turn the puck over
02:58and I
03:00think
03:01Greece
03:03He'd like to have a couple of those shots back but I saw a lot of good things
03:08So I'm not unhappy and it was exactly what I wanted and then I really was happy
03:13I thought our Kazakhs were real good. They were
03:16They're gonna be fun to watch. They're kind of
03:20fast
03:22In my opinion, I think they're kind of exciting players and I was really happy to see them this weekend
03:28so I think that our
03:31Fans are in for I think most of our fans will enjoy watching those guys this year
03:38I know I will from the bench. I'm kind of having fun watching those guys and
03:44A guy like Gaginov
03:46He's got a high hockey IQ as far as seeing the ice and moving the puck
03:51Makes plays that I don't think he's gonna make we're gonna try I wouldn't try but he did
03:57And he and he and he succeeds and he's a really interesting guy to watch
04:01Oh, they're very interesting really really sees the ice. He sees the ice as good as anybody I've ever seen
04:08Like I like I love with some of the stuff he does when he's got the puck
04:12so all in all that that was that's not a bad thing and
04:17Hey happy to be back and happy to get started again. So that's it
