Jim Erickson welcomes head coach Nick Oliver, junior captain Gavyn Thoreson, and Lindenwood transfer and assistant captain Jake Southgate to the second Nick Oliver Show, live from the Green Mill. Oliver reflects on his first career win, a 5-3 victory over Michigan Tech on Saturday after an overtime loss on Friday, and credits the energy in the renovated Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
He and Erickson talk through Thoreson’s two-goal weekend, including a gritty empty-net goal, goals from Hayden Paupanekis, William Ahlrik, Joe Belisle and Thor Byfuglien, John Hirschfeld’s debut, and Brock Souch’s first career goal. They also cover the goaltender interference review in overtime on Friday and the new face-off rules. Oliver also talks about borrowing from his coaching mentors and the new leather-jacket player-of-the-game tradition.
Thoreson and Southgate discuss what it means to wear letters, their chemistry on and off the ice, and the team’s improvement game over game. Southgate talks about growing up on a 10,000-acre family farm in Saskatchewan, where his dad once traded a skid steer for a Zamboni to build a backyard rink. The Huskies now fly to Boston College for a Thursday-Saturday series, with puck drop at 6 p.m. Central both nights and pregame at 5:30 on KNSI and the Varsity Network app. The show returns next Monday.
