The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, before the series, we obviously know their stats and what they're good at. Obviously, offensive game was their top priority, I think. But I think just the way we play, we're trying to hold the line, just play as a five. Didn't give them too much room to play on, so I think we did a good job on that.

The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, obviously the kill was really good on that series and that we knew like their power plays at least. So I think we were able to do a good job there. Obviously adding Marci, I think just getting more death to the lineup as penalty kill wise too. We could roll three pairs, be fresh out there, and then pressure when we had a chance.

The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, I mean, I think that's just like all the way from juniors. I think the way Finnish guys play in Finland, that league, like it's more defensive, not as much offensive game, I think. It's less goals. I think it comes from all the way from there. But yeah, obviously everybody wants to score. But I think I'm just trying to play both ways and be responsible.

The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, that was a big one on the deadline. I didn't see that coming, but obviously he's such a great guy. He talks a lot in the locker room. He's such a good guy. So I think that's a great add. And obviously on the ice, he's experienced, won a cup, and he knows what it takes. And just to be able to play with him, it's been really good.

The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, obviously, I've played with Lundell a few years now, and able to speak Finnish once in a while, it helps go through the place, but I think adding Marci, like last year we had Vladdy, a lot of experience there too, and he liked to talk as well, go through the place and stuff like that, and it's all And that way, I think Marci is a similar guy there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
A lot of experience, talks a lot, wants to teach us new things all the time. And obviously, we're listening in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
That's a tough one. I guess we're not back bolts then.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, it's... Same thing all over again. So maybe the next two months we'll eat pasta. So that's what we got.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Usually we just keep it pretty simple. Just hang out by the pool, go to the beach once in a while, have lunch or dinner. skip a lot between, between games. And I just, I don't know, relax.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Uh, I don't think I have too much, but like, I think just, uh, maybe like the, The way I put my gear on, it's pretty specific. I usually put my right sock on before and then left skate. Stuff like that. It's pretty stupid, but it's just a habit. I just gotta go with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, there's a sockpot.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, I mean, obviously it helps to be like gone through it already and you know what to expect, how it's going to be. It's hard work for two and a half months. And yeah, I think just the experience and the feeling of winning, like you want to just feel that again.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be a tough matchup again. There's no easy opponents at this point. I think similar things as well, like the way they play. I think they have speed up front, a little bit size back end. I think do the same thing, like shut their top guys down and just play as hard as we can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, it's been great. The time to supply, she's already 10 weeks old. yeah just uh to hang out with her like obviously it cuts down the sleep a little bit like you said but you're just gonna like you enjoy it so much so you don't really care about that but uh Yeah, I think it doesn't really affect the hockey part.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
So I think it just brings more energy to go home and see her smile and stuff like that. She shit on you yet? Oh, man.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)

The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Nah, that's easy to cheat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, I think that's the plan. I think just like how we play, I think there's going to be a lot of hits and we dump a lot of pucks. We're going to recover pucks and then we want to get on the body. It's a long series, a lot of hockey in that stretch of hockey. And yeah, I think it's going to be as physical as the last series.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Hockey Show: The Gentlemen's Sweep (feat. Eetu Luostarinen)
Yeah, it was a great experience, obviously. the teams were stacked so it was great to see like what is it playing and like usually you play against one or two like top lines but there were like four lines like really really stacked and like everybody was so hard to play against and uh yeah it was a great experience and i think fans really enjoyed it like everybody played hard it was not like
