Hockey Night In Canada Taylor Hall Pregame show Interview Hurricanes vs Panthers Playoffs 25 round 3
[Music] welcome back as the official fuel of the NHL ESSO is proud to fuel Canada’s love for hockey eso dedicated to Canada’s game for over 80 years onto the big board brought to you by Bet 365 we welcome in Jamal Maris so I have another skill testing question for you Jamal when you see young talent and you coach kids in St louis you’ll say to them all the time do you want to be a goal scorer or Do you want to be a hockey player bingo and there is a difference and and I think there is a difference as you know Rod that’s what Rod Rendor seems to have done with his Carolina Hurricanes would you agree yeah there’s no question what he’s done is really found a way to give them an identity and own it and now that he these it was his idea to play this way they’re kind of playing exactly how he’s always wanted them to do every single one in the lineup and Spetchnikov is a guy i mean he’s got eight goals so he is a goal scorer but uh yeah complete player it seems now yeah he really is and he’s an absolute beast in today’s NHL he is a power forward he sets the tone physically for how they want to play and I believe he’s going to be a problem for the Florida Panthers and you said it he’s got eight goals in 10 games he’s a plus six and he’s on a three-game goal streak and he has always been a playoff performer in 61 games 45 points playing on the top line with Aaho and Jarvis he’s a guy who drives a play can score on the power play chips in offensively not afraid to get to the dirty areas to score goals as well so he is going to be difficult to handle your dear friend Chris here and the men have been talking a little bit about that third line matchup and I know that’s a focus for you as well it’s going to be really interesting you think about what you think about the Florida Panthers and how well that third line has played with Marshant on it with Lundal and Listister Rin and in fact their three those three are in the top four of scoring four to four Panthers but you look at the other side of Carolina as well with Stall Martin and Kerier they’re they only have two goals but they play a sharp defensive game they have the right mindset they drive play kill penalties and play in all different situations going to be an interesting matchup to see those third lines go against each other fantastic as always jamal Mars and the big board brought to you by Bet 365 whatever the moment it is never ordinary at Bet 365 well you never give up on a good hockey player taylor Hall is a great example of that his first conference final now there’s been 61 first overall draft picks in NHL history 18 have won the cup that’s close to 30% but only five men have been first overall and then won the cup with a different team and there you see the list two guys in ‘ 86 rob Ramage did it twice Joe Murphy and Eric Johnson and now Taylor is hoping to be number six no one No one could have expected the blockbuster bombshell The Hurricanes acquiring Mo Ranton and Taylor Hall in a three team trade taylor Hall is now a Carolina Hurricane and so Taylor gets an opportunity to go to a a team that’s obviously a welloiled machine obviously I was excited it had been a a tough first part of the year with uh with the Blackhawks we were you know pretty low in the standings and I didn’t love the uh the role that I had and and I felt that I had a lot more to give and and I you know I feel like I’ve proved that here and but coming here has has been uh it’s been great i was excited to to come and get started and and you know to to come and be in the spot that we’re in now i wasn’t thinking that far ahead but it’s it’s been a fun journey he’s pretty easy going so he knows when to when to kind of turn it on and and I’m not going to say activate dad mode or whatever but uh lay the hammer down a little bit but uh yeah he he’s awesome he he definitely helps with uh with kind of calming everybody down and he’s he’s someone who never seems too flustered so when you see him in these big moments kind of whatever seems like nothing’s going on that’s it’s fun it’s easy to watch and kind of replicate that it does rejuvenate you and after so many years in your career I think you you just want to win and you want to be on a good team that has guys that that want the same thing taylor Hall one time MVP of the NHL one time first pick overall he’s been a great out here in Carolina taylor always has been searching i think you know you say he’s done it all i think there’s one thing he hasn’t done and I think especially at later stages of your career I think your mindset changes a little bit and I think he’s come in and just said “Listen I’m I’m not the guy I want to be a guy that part of something special.” We brought him in thinking this is someone who might be a fit and we might want to keep and over time it became clear pretty quickly it was fitting exactly the way we hoped it would and so you know we started talking to his agent pretty early on about what a deal would look like and you know ultimately got to something that made sense for both sides they score Taylor Hall i just want to keep doing this you know year after year and um and I really think that if you look forward there’s a team here that that can do that i have a have a son coming in October so I wanted to know you know where we would be as a family and and have a chance to get settled and and do all that so there’s a lot that goes into it but at the end of the day um I love playing hockey here and and wanted to wanted to do that for a few more years now the lead pass for Hall moving in on Thompson he scores it is the motivator i don’t think he’s looking for anything else but that we’ve done a lot of things over the years but there’s still something out there that we know we’re everybody’s chasing and feel like he’s right in that group now where that’s his last thing that he needs to check off the list i think it’s fair to say that’s the ultimate goal and that’s why we’re here that’s that’s uh what everyone’s striving towards and and building towards all season long it’s been 15 years for me and and uh I haven’t been able to to make it this far so um just trying to take it all in but enjoy this uh this process with my teammates another great story to cheer there brad Marshant you heard 10 times 10 points or more cole Bex’s favorite Sebastian AO has done 10 points in each of his first seven seasons great matchup next sports during the Ford it’s a Big Deal event we ask the tough questions like “What if an offer on an F-150 looked as good as an F-150?” Right now get a big deal when you lease this F-150 for 110 a week this deal won’t last forever [Applause] sometimes it pays to be a bad fan every game is your game when you bet with sports interaction

all dancing and we’re still dancing billy Idol thank you for that there you have it you heard him okay Sports Net’s proud to present the Stanley Cup playoffs presented by Instacart round three game one good evening we’re pleased to welcome Chris Pronger to the coverage kevin BX is home for just a couple of days obviously Elliot and Kelly let’s get down to the rink first and set the scene with Kyle Vicoscus kyle to you now Ron just one lineup note here for tonight scott Morrow is going to make his Stanley Cup playoff debut on defense for Carolina as Jaylen Chatfield still not quite ready to go but he is skating anton Lendell left warm-ups early but he will play just fine for the Panthers rod Brymore and Paul Maurice for both saying today the difference in this series could end up being who can make more special plays for the Hurricanes andre Svetchnikov may very well have a say in that was not able to play in the conference final two years ago against Florida due to a knee injury but here he was getting his hands warm just before 5:30 local he said he’s got a better feel for his game right now than at any other point this year this is the display in the Hurricanes dressing room on the right the chain link a reminder you’re only as strong as the weakest one on the left a hatchet that was given to them by Delta Force it will take a lot of sacrifice to knock off the force that is the Panthers who with their additions look even stronger than they were a year ago and Brad Marian is feeling right at home really excited about this opportunity did you bring a suitcase big enough to last a few days and rally damn right I did we’ll see you there congratulations thanks bud so Marianne and the Panthers no issue carrying the extra baggage that comes with being the defending champs ron John Bartlett Gary Galley with you there Kyle so great power play for the Hurricanes better penalty kill 93% and 80 shot attempts that’s for Kevin 80 shot attempts per game whereas Florida the defending champions their big one is the hits so Chris 47 per game by the way for the Florida Panthers hits per game the delay it’s been five days off for the Carolina Hurricanes since 2014 teams with four or more days off just seven and 11 in game one of the conference finals how do you feel about that yeah I was never a big proponent of days off especially in the playoffs your body acclimates to the pounding it takes to the physical toll it takes every other night you’re playing a hockey game uh in this case when you have four five six days off people think you’re going to be able to recover you’re going to be able to rest most of the time your injuries are worse after 5 days off so it becomes an issue uh long term I think well for Florida I’m wondering they’re they get a lot of points from their defense in fact 27 points so see if that relentless for check pressure that you talked about Chris if Carolina can get on and make it hard for their D the guy Kyle showed Fetchnikov I think he’s the biggest X factor in this series has to be great for Carolina and I am blinded by Chris’s Stanley Cup ring that is a beautiful ring came the year after Edmonton went to Raleigh North Carolina and Eric Cole was their inspiration he returned for the Hurricanes in that series in game number six so Panthers at 98 points the Canes at 99 one apart as they collide eric Cole will do the storm warning enjoy i did not take a suspension okay the Silverado Trail [Music] Boss i need to say something okay i I don’t want to burden you you won’t the cantaloupe they got a knock on

Panthers in game one of the Eastern Conference Final this is the first conference final in over 13 years to feature two starting goalies aged 35 or older the last time was in 2011 when Dwayne Rollison took on Tim Thomas but it’s Sergey Levski who’s allowed two goals or less in each of his last four playoff games against Toronto with a 957 save percentage in those games in net for Florida while Frederick Anderson is 2 and0 in series opening games this year with a 97 goals against 947 save percentage in those games in fact his career save percentage in game ones is the second highest since it was first tabulated in 1956 rod Broommore has got the troops ready and he’s ready to go look at him charge his way up to the starting lineup right on out of the dressing room to the bench and he’ll
