It's a great time of the year when you have the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Final, the CFL is kicking off tonight. Your guy Christian Watson just signed a big deal. I think he's attributing most of that success to his appearance on Overdrive. There's a lot going on, guys.

41.56 - 62.995 Jeff O'Neill

I'd like to ask Doogie a small favor about the Christian Watson signing. If Doogie ever posts that picture of me in that triple X gray cardigan again, I just... Fireball offense? It's a fireball offense. I don't know what it is about that pic, but...

63.059 - 64.642 Jamie McLennan

Tough angle, that's what it was.

64.843 - 83.24 Jeff O'Neill

Is it Hayes looking at his drive bad? No, dude. I look like I'm 700 pounds. Like, I know I'm not a rake, but there's just something about that. I don't know. I cannot ever look... do some AI-like editing to that, Doogie.

83.36 - 87.945 Unknown

Aren't you the executive producer of this show? Doesn't everything have to run by you before it either goes on the air?

87.965 - 112.621 Jeff O'Neill

Apparently not that pic, but I saw that. I thought that pic was dead and gone, and all of a sudden I saw Doogie tweet out today, friend of the show signs a contract, and that gray XXX cardigan came out, and it's just people were carving me about the wrinkles and my pants and And how did how long did it take? Somebody said he gets up early and he doesn't work until four.

113.041 - 120.793 Jeff O'Neill

So we had all day to put his pants on. It just created problems.

121.254 - 121.935 Jamie McLennan

Yeah.

Chapter 2: What insights does Peter Laviolette share about the coaching interview process?

1064.303 - 1081.011 Jamie McLennan

Lavi, I want to take you back to the finals a little bit where after the first game, you know, Rod Brindamore said, I need more from my top players. I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically what he said. You know, when you come out publicly and say that, and Rod's a straight shooter, you're a straight shooter. Yeah.

1081.432 - 1095.559 Jamie McLennan

Do you find a little bit something different in your approach for the next game to find them maybe a little extra shift here? You know, they know they've kind of been on blast. They're prideful athletes. But do you give them a little extra opportunity to kind of go out and show it?

0

1097.041 - 1114.763 Peter Laviolette

I think you absolutely do. If you're I always say that if I bring somebody into my office, old dog was never there. But if I bring no, no, no, no, no. If I bring somebody into my office and I challenge them, the worst thing that you could do is give them seven minutes and put them on the fourth line.

1114.743 - 1137.18 Peter Laviolette

And so if that was Roddy's intent, just to nudge him, just to say, hey, listen, it's an honest fact. He didn't embarrass anybody. He didn't berate anybody. He said, listen, we need more. If your power plays down, you say... We need more on the power play. And your power play players can take that to heart and say, yeah, let's get going. We need to turn this around.

0

1137.862 - 1156.738 Peter Laviolette

But then you can't switch up the power play units. Or if a line's not going well, you challenge a line. And then before the game starts, they come in and they're not on the same line anymore. Like, what good does it do? I would think that you could find a couple more minutes, that you could find a matchup, that you could find an offensive zone start. And maybe it's one.

1156.778 - 1165.894 Peter Laviolette

And again, maybe it's just the confidence that they get from that, that challenge and then the opportunity and then the success of it. Maybe that can unleash it a little bit for them.

1166.161 - 1183.042 Jeff O'Neill

I totally agree, Lavi. It's also like running out of time. So if you're giving them a bit of time and some extra zone face-offs and it doesn't work out, then you've got to get to drastic measures. It's like somebody's got to sit their ass on the bench or change the lines or something, right? Because there's no time left.

1183.743 - 1207.21 Peter Laviolette

For me, there's always a plan B. So it's game one, and... Like I said, they came out so strong and all of a sudden, you know, they find themselves down. I think it was 4-2, right? And so it was quick. It was really quick. And so I think that you go in tonight and especially with what we just talked about, you said, listen, we need more. You give them that opportunity.

1207.57 - 1219.367 Peter Laviolette

But for me, there's always a card in my back pocket just to say, okay, it's not going well. It's time to mix it up. It's time to shake up. the third line winger and the first line winger and see if that can bring something to the table.
