🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

I notice uh Rhymer wasn’t out there is he GNA play tonight or is he ill or uh no not Ill Green is you going to play I’m Not announcing the goalie today Greenway back tonight um Greenway skated uh as long as everything went well there’s a there’s an opportunity for him to play any other changes uh well we got some decisions to make so it’ll be game time lendy how how do you feel about just you’ve now seen in these 25 games some of the the external things going around this group that really don’t happen in other cities right now how have you seen how has that impacted the way you have to coach given the fact there’s all this external stuff that other teams don’t have you’d have to you’d have to give me what external means to you they haven’t made the playoffs in 13 years and I hear that over and over again it is yeah um there is nothing easy in this game um you’ve got to accept that every day it’s going to be hard um if you’re expecting easy we won’t succeed um there’s going to be hard things that happen in a game that you have to elevate your effort your determination to get through uh you can’t cave into why is it so hard uh why is this happening to me uh you know like I said we got through that period the other night with a one- nothing lead um you don’t like you don’t like the first goal the second goal we shouldn’t have done what we did and we created our own chaos in the game and then how do you deal with that um I thought our bottom six dealt with it well I thought we got great energy uh we need that energy out of our top six we need our don’t cave to this is going to be hard exceed the energy that that bottom six gave us what melon Stein did to fuel yourself off of that and say okay they’re doing their part young guy came in scored a goal heck of a goal really scored back to back got around the front of the net um we need that type of determination game in game out because that’s how hard the game is also lack of attention to detail with the top six just overextending shifts that is part we’ve talked about length of shifts um don’t overextend looking for offense because if you have to go back and play on your own end you’re going to look like a pretty bad team younger guys Lindy the the last couple of years even despite the mistakes they remained in they were still getting those 17 minutes a night are you comfortable at the point in their development and their careers where you’re okay with taking I ice time away you’re okay with sitting them because if it’s I have no I have no problem with ice time and and sitting them out if it just if you look at the bulk of what a player does I’ve got a pretty good understanding now after 20 some games of of what what the player is what what he can give us what he can dig in and give us when things are tough can you dig in can you play when you’re tired can you finish a shift um all that stuff uh if you can and you can’t maintain that for the game then the next guy has to go in you’ve lost six in a row here but can you really hang on the fact that there are no moral victories but clearly 46 games were there for you to win you’re not getting killed in all these games and Saturday was an aberration but can you take from those four games that you have to just do more to get over the hump it it comes down to how hard it is again like it’s that close you know we’ve we talked about the odd-numbered rushes we had in the overtime to win the game we talked about you know the game we lost to I think it was Van tommer getting that we didn’t have the puck very much but we had that one glorious opportunity um and inside of that you had some but don’t succumb to Why didn’t it Go in don’t succumb to the moral victories how about you have we have to do a little bit more uh every guy has to do a little bit more uh put the work ahead of anything else don’t succumb to you know I have to cave in on the back check because it didn’t go in for me like we gave up that Rush uh they gave us the opportunity to score but because we didn’t score doesn’t mean you can’t come back and stopping your end about where Dylan’s at through 25 26 games here um I thought he started off really slowly I thought he’s gained some traction um you know offensively the puck is starting to go in the net form um defensively I think he struggled uh and that’s the area really trying to help him but the way we’re playing now is different and I’ve explained this trying to help him with the way we’re playing right now his reads from the way it was set up and this again I’m saying is not a criticism because you get to choose how you get to play uh he’s had some he’s had some reads he’s really struggled with uh we spent the last two days trying to simplify this uh so two days of trying to this morning yesterday yesterday’s practice a video of yesterday’s practice on here’s your sort out here’s your read we can’t give up what we gave up and a lot of times that our sentimen inside this system has a lot of work to do Tage Thompson has a lot of work to do I’ve asked those guys personally if this is if this is too hard I I’ll put you on the wing You’ll Play The Wing um and that’s for Dylan that’s for Tage uh I think that kak coming in that is more accustomed to playing this way hasn’t really made a mistake defensively um so there’s 20 some games is enough that if you can’t make the read then you got to go to the wing you surprised it’s Tak that much time cuz it’s new but I don’t think it’s dramatically well I I think that when you look at when it when the other team starts using both defenseman to rotate and to go in and all of a sudden you got two defenseman that are in and three forwards it it’s that calmness inside that you have to have to read that play um you either make the right read or you don’t make the right read and it and it and that’s connected those 2D are connected to the centerman those are the most important guys in the dzone those low three guys as far as a defenseman goes both bym in the Utah game to me looked like he was excellent had a really good game if you agree with that what was he doing that made him so good in that game H okay there I agree I thought he played he played well I I I thought we moved the puck too slow in the game I thought Bo was part of that like offensively we went low to high we didn’t move it to our partner to shoot it turned it over we had a he had a play to move up the wall that would have been a three and one with Thompson didn’t execute it a defensively um I thought he made he made some good reads as a as a defenseman as I thought uh on a whole our defense didn’t play very well uh and I would put him he’s in that category I you might have saw some stuff you liked I saw some stuff I liked I saw some stuff I disliked did you start a new week is there any thought that D could be a candidate for the weekend maybe uh yes um he got a little uh little work today uh talked to him on on uh post post workout and he said he’s feeling pretty good so hopeful that uh we can get them back is that aate Lundy yeah for
