And now, here are your hosts, Matt Baker and Steve Forni.
Matt BakerHOST
I think that illustrates and highlights the winning culture that this team clearly has.
Matt BakerHOST
And I don't think they've had it as, as a true culture.
Matt BakerHOST
Uh, uh, not that they weren't good teams, not that they weren't playoff teams, but I don't think the winning culture has been there since Drew Bannister and Tommy Cross.
Matt BakerHOST
And so I, I think that's a reflection of the leadership, that's a reflection of the culture and, and I think, you know, we'll break down in more detail the games from this weekend, but those were two, if you ask probably Steve Ott, two less than par games that they came across with wins in both.
David McCaig Jr.HOST
Still great to watch.
David McCaig Jr.HOST
We have a special team with Drew Bannister back, not who we had on our radar.
David McCaig Jr.HOST
If you listened to our show before, we were talking, a friend of the show, Jordan Smith, We were talking Todd Bertuzzi was up there.
David McCaig Jr.HOST
I was talking about the Kitchener Rangers assistant coach as well.
Jordan TrudeauHOST
Like, so it is, it's so exciting.
Jordan TrudeauHOST
One sad note, Harris Pangredich, the Ottawa prospect, He's going to be out for about four or five months, unfortunately.
Jordan TrudeauHOST
But that gives, you know, some younger players a chance to step up and get some ice time develop under this new system that Drew Bannister and his coaching staff has put in place.
David McCaig Jr.HOST
Yeah, and it's a system that's familiar to Hounds fans but different to these players and that we've seen over the past few years.
Lou KoracGUEST
I mean, there were some, I don't want to call them problems, but there were some challenges there when Craig Berube was here as well.
Lou KoracGUEST
And even when Drew Bannister took over, I mean, the Blues are always looking for forwards that can play a 200-foot game.
Lou KoracGUEST
And I mean, what coach doesn't, really? I mean...
Lou KoracGUEST
Jordan Cairo is a very gifted offensive player.
Lou KoracGUEST
I think it's a little bit of everything, and I don't think Jim Montgomery's the only one.
Lou KoracGUEST
I mean, there were, you know, there were some, uh, I don't wanna call them problems, but there were some challenges there when Craig Berube was here as well, and even when Drew Bannister took over.
Lou KoracGUEST
I mean, this, the Blues were, the Blues are always looking for forwards that can play 200-foot game.
Lou KoracGUEST
And, and I mean, what coach doesn't, really?
John MatiszHOST
And he's had, you know, Sheldon Keefe under him for a coach.
John MatiszHOST
Drew Bannister is now back as his coach.
John MatiszHOST
He had left to go to the AHL, then the NHL, and now he's back.
John MatiszHOST
And, um, yeah, they developed a bunch of players, and I think we saw why in terms of, uh, Kyle's perspective and the way that he, he views his job and developing players at that level.
