 Welcome to the Dominic Dawes show. I'm Joe Wamba, joined now with Dominic Dawes, head coach of the men's ice hockey team. And coach, your last three games have gone into overtime periods. You split them this weekend with a win against Fredonia in the first game and a tie coming back to tie them. Talk a little bit about that first game for you. Well, the first game was a, penalties were the issue of the game. I think they had 10 power plays to our three. So I think penalty kill becomes a huge component. And those guys gave us the opportunity to win the game. We don't kill off those penalties. We don't even have a chance to win. Obviously, you want to be more disciplined and not be in a penalty box 10 times. But it happens, it's part of it. And I think we did a good job of just sticking through it, staying in the course and taking advantage of the opportunity late in the game. And killing off a really long penalty for you guys was a five minute major. No, that's big. I mean, any time you can do that, I think it's just a momentum lift for your team. And I think that's what it was for us on Friday night and kind of just helped us move it forward. And then a huge goal in overtime, the breakaway chance for Mike Davis and depositing it in the net to give you the win. Yeah, no, I think a big night for him all in all. I know he's been frustrated. He hasn't been able to put the puck in the net as much as he'd liked to this year. So I think it's good. He got a couple Friday nights. So kind of got the monkey office back. And hopefully it's a good start for kind of things to come here this semester. Let's talk about that second game. You guys start down 2-0 and then come back in the third to score 2. Big catalyst in that comeback was your goaltender in net. For sure, yeah. No, I mean, Jake absolutely gave us an opportunity to stay in the game. But again, I think the penalty kill played a big, big role. We took another five-minute penalty, unfortunately late in the second period. Got out of there with just the one against. So I think we kind of took a little bit of a small victory there with only going on the third period, only down 2. I think energy, I think we were banged up and tired from the night before. And I think energy played a big impact in the game. But credit to the guys in kind of not giving up and stay in the course and taking advantage of a couple opportunities in the third period and kind of a gritty tie, not that you ever like to tie. But we kind of battled back in from there. And it kind of had to be a gritty performance from the guys. Like you said, they were banged up. You guys played real tough the day before. It was a really long game with all the deliberations and then penalties, like you said. So it's impossible to not be banged up for the second game. Yeah, I mean, the biggest, I think, thing for us going in the second night was then we lost a guy to a five minute penalty again. And then we lost a guy to an injury. So we were down a couple guys. But we made some adjustments and guys bought into what we did. And I said to the guys after the game, for us and where we're at and being a young program, we need to take that as a small victory to show that, hey, you know what, we didn't play our best the first two periods, but we stayed the course, gave ourselves an opportunity to be in the game, and then push came to shove. We were able to battle back and get the two goals and win the third period. Definitely showed some resiliency from Friday to Saturday. And you're going to need that resiliency again with a short week playing Lebanon Valley on Tuesday night. For sure. I told the guys after the game, as of this point, they're probably the biggest game in this program's history. Our goal from day one here is to make the playoffs. So the lead game, the team that's behind us in the standings, we can't afford to give up those two points. So we've got to be ready to go. It'll be an exciting game, for sure. Another couple of exciting games when you guys travel up to Brockport and then Geneseo over the weekend. For sure. No, I mean, that would be a good test for us this weekend. Brockport's always a very, very strong team. Geneseo's the top. I'm not sure where they're at right now, but top five, top 10 team in the country has been a couple final fours in the last few years. So it'll be a great test to us to just kind of keep moving forward and keep trying to get better. Well, Coach, we wish you the best of luck with this Lebanon Valley game again Tuesday night against Lebanon Valley at the Rysterstown Sportsplex, and then safe travels up for those Brockport and Geneseo games. Absolutely. We appreciate it. He's Dominic Dawes. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been the Dominic Dawes Show.
