00:00Well, right off the top, I thought I'd mentioned it earlier, a few weeks ago, three weeks ago that, and not a knock against Ander Sorensen. I think he did a great job. I just don't think the players, you know, even though a few of them might have had him in Rockford, he didn't have that respect that, you know, a veteran coach would have.
00:19And I still think we should have a veteran coach somewhat similar to when Quendell took over, you know, those young guys, all those draft picks, had a couple years under their belt, and that's where I think we're at right now. So you see who's available, Sullivan, Laviolette, guys that have won, guys that have had a lot of success. I don't have the list in front of it. Those two guys come to mind off the top of my head.
00:43Those are two good names. Mike Sullivan was part of the Hawk organization, Shelley, back in 2015. He's on, he's available now because he parted ways with the Penguins. How about Rick Tockett? Does he resonate? Jeffrey, Jeff Blaschel, who coached the Red Wings. Also, Jay Woodcroft had a stint with the Oilers. Those are three guys whose names will be on the list as well.
01:04Again, good coaches. I played, you know, I coached with Blaschel. Tockett, that's another guy. He's had success, right? He's won cups. He's got to look, when he looks at you and says something, it sinks in pretty deep. I love the way he coaches. So he'd be another great candidate, I think Rick Tockett. I've known him for a long time. And he gets the most out of his players.
01:29Woodcroft, I don't know. Again, he's not a guy that players might, you know, hear his voice like another veteran guy or a player like Tockett. But they're all good candidates for sure. You saw, you know, Blaschel was working underneath John Cooper over in Tampa. Unfortunately, what happened that last game, it was just, not to go on a different tangent, but the refereeing is, again, consistently inconsistent.
