Biz was throwing CHIRPS at Brandon Hagel 😂 | NHL on TNT

ENERGY. >> WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE RINK BECAUSE WE HAVE BRANDON HAGEL. WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT. HE JOINS US RIGHT NOW. BRANDON, CONGRATULATIONS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF THE SLOW START. THE TEAM HAD JUST ONE WIN OVER THE FIRST SEVEN. NOW FOUR STRAIGHT WINS. WAS THERE EVER A FEELING FROM YOU OR ANY OF THE GUYS WHERE IT’S LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT’S WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? LIKE WE CAN’T FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS OR IS THIS A VETERAN TEAM? AND YOU’RE LIKE, OH, DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT. A WEEK OR TWO, WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK THERE. >> I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT. WITH THE VETERAN TEAM, I THINK WE KNEW WE STILL KIND OF HAD IT. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE BROUGHT BACK BASICALLY THE EXACT SAME TEAM. THERE’S NO WAY IN FOUR MONTHS WE BRING IN ONE NEW GUY AND WE’RE JUST NOT THEM ANYMORE. I MEAN, WE ONLY WE ONLY GOT A YEAR OLDER. SO THERE WAS ALWAYS BELIEF, BUT OBVIOUSLY HAD A LITTLE WWE IN FLORIDA AND THEN DIDN’T GET A FEW GUYS. ONLY WON ONE GAME THERE. SO YEAH, I THINK WE’RE KIND OF FINDING GETTING BACK ON TRACK AND KIND OF KEEP ROLLING. >> BRANDON, HANK HERE, I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR SPEED TONIGHT AS A TEAM. YOU WERE FLYING, ESPECIALLY IN THAT FIRST PERIOD. KIND OF SET THE TONE FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. WAS THAT SOMETHING YOU DISCUSSED GOING INTO THIS GAME THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY A QUICKER GAME? >> YEAH, I THINK SO. I THINK WHAT KIND OF GOT US STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT AT THE START, WE WERE KIND OF PULLING PUCKS BACK AND JUST SWINGING AND THEN ENDED UP STANDING AT THE BLUE LINE. I THINK OUR TEAM BEEN DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB, IS KIND OF JUST GETTING THE PUCK RIGHT AWAY, BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO KEEP THEIR KEEP THEIR SPEED. AND THEN YEAH, WE GOT A QUICK TEAM. I MEAN, WE GOT TO USE IT TO OUR ADVANTAGE. AND I THINK WE DID A GOOD JOB OF THAT TONIGHT. >> HEY GUYS IT’S ACE. >> LOOKING GREAT. I’M SITTING NEXT TO THESE TWO GUYS, HANDSOME BROTHERS WHERE THEY’RE NOT REALLY THAT WELL GROOMED. SO FIRST OF ALL, I GOT TO SAY FACIAL HAIR IS ON POINT. SECOND THING I WANT TO SAY IS, IS IT HARD TO JUST NOT THINK ABOUT THE OLYMPICS AFTER THE SUCCESS THAT YOU HAD WITH TEAM CANADA? FOR NATIONS COMING IN THIS REGULAR SEASON, EVERYONE WANTS TO GET OFF TO A GOOD START TO TRY TO PARTICIPATE IN FEBRUARY FOR TEAM CANADA. >> YEAH, OBVIOUSLY IT’S IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF YOUR TEAM IS GOING TO HAVE SUCCESS, YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE SUCCESS. SO YOU JUST KIND OF COME INTO THE SEASON AND HOPEFULLY HAVE YOUR TEAM IN A GOOD SPOT. AND THAT’S USUALLY MEANS YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN A GOOD SPOT. SO THAT’S WHAT I’M TRYING TO DO IS JUST HELP THIS TEAM WIN. OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE DICEY AT THE START THERE, BUT I THINK WE’RE KIND OF FINDING OUR WAY AS A TEAM. AND PERSONALLY MYSELF. >> HAGS, IT’S BIZ HERE. I DON’T THINK YOU’RE GOING TO GET CREDIT WITH AN ASSIST ON THAT OT WINNER, BUT JUST A GREAT JOB STRIPPING. THE OFFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE D-ZONE ALLOWED CIRELLI TO SKATE INTO THAT ONE. BUT I WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR POWER PLAY GOAL. THAT’S YOUR FIRST POWER PLAY GOAL IN 118 GAMES. HOW ARE YOU STILL ON THE POWER PLAY? >> YEAH, I COULDN’T AGREE MORE, BUT I I’M NOT TOO SURE. HONESTLY, IT’S PROBABLY WHY I’M SITTING ON THE SECOND UNIT FOR A BIT HERE THIS YEAR. BUT NO, I MEAN IT IS WHAT IT IS. I MEAN, I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING. OBVIOUSLY ABLE TO FIND THE NET FIVE ON FIVE. SO THAT’S A POSITIVE BUT KIND OF EMBARRASSING. I PLAYED 90% ON THE FIRST UNIT WITH NIKITA KUCHEROV LAST YEAR AND COULDN’T FIND ONE. >> SO. >> THAT’S WHAT IT IS. HE HAD 1000 POINTS AND I’M JUST GRINDING FOR A POWER PLAY GOAL, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND OBVIOUSLY ABLE TO GET IT TONIGHT AND. >> MAYBE. >> MAYBE PUT MYSELF IN A BETTER SPOT. ON THE POWER PLAY. >> LIAM SAID HEY, YOU’RE A HECK OF A DECOY. >> LISTEN. >> I DON’T THINK ANYONE’S. >> BRAVE ENOUGH TO ACCEPT THAT ROLE, I COMMEND YOU. >> YEAH, YEAH. THE PK MEETING LEAVE HAGEL ON THE LEFT SIDE. GO OFF YOUR FEET. >> ALL RIGHT. YOU’RE WELCOME FOR E THOUSAND
