1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, congrats on your Dodgers by the way back

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: with cracking head coach Lane Lambert Lane back to back

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: overtime losses for Seattle finding ways to get points, But

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: how have you liked your team's game the past couple

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: of nights in those opportunities to get points?

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: Well, I thought that, you know, again, we're battling, we're grinding,

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: we're defending hard, We're not generating as much as we

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: want to. You know, we're looking for solutions from that standpoint,

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: and you know, if we do that, we'll not only

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: spend less time in our zone, but we'll give ourselves

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: an opportunity to do on the offensive zone to you know,

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: create and score more So, clearly disappointing, you know, overtime losses,

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: but again ways to collect points that are going to

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: be valuable at some point here. And you know, I

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: give our guys credit for doing that. Not only would

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: come back point against my trial, but you know, just

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: a battle and a grind against New York who you know,

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: they've got a good hockey team.

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: And you know they had you know, their top line

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: was feeling it pretty good in that game. So we

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 3: did a good job from that standpoint.

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: Of getting that point, and you know, it's just disappointing

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: that we couldn't get the extra but we've got to

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: move on.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: You've talked the last couple of days about, you know,

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: the lack of offensive output. When you look at the reasons

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: as to why this team hasn't been able to score

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: as many goals as you would like, where do you

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: find some of those pitfalls may lie? Is it shot generation?

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Is it not taking enough shots? Is it the looks

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: that you're getting? What can you pinpoint to see that

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: why the crack can have been not able to get

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: over that two and a half three goal mark more

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: often than not.

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, you know, for for much of the time

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: when we do get opportunities, first of all, you got

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: to take advantage of them. You know, we've had some

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: great a chances where we've missed the net. So let's

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: start with that. Let's start hitting the net. Let's start

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: putting more pucks on the net. Doesn't have to be

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: a perfect plan, it doesn't have to be a perfect shot.

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: We've got people go into the net, let's put them there.

43
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: It can go off of anybody in the end of

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: the net. So just basically a mentality. You know, there's

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: a mentality there, and you have to have that mentality

46
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: to score greasy goals, score goals that are maybe a

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: little bit ugly around the grease area. You know, there's

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: no question that with you know, McCann out of the

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: lineup and Freddy you drove out of the lineup, we're missing,

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: you know, in the neighborhood of fifty goals, and so

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: we've got to find a way to generate in other

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: ways with other guys.

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: You have gotten coppol Coco back, you got Brandon Montur back.

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Rykan Evans is starting to skate again, Freddie Gudrou is

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: starting to skate again. As this team gets healthier and

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you start to see players coming back, how does that change?

57
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Does that change the approach that you have to your lineup?

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: What did you make of Coppolo Coco's return? Just what

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: can you share about these guys coming back and starting

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: to get your full lineup to where it needs to be.

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: Well, when they come back, doesn't change our approach, doesn't

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: change our mentality. You know, we are always looking to

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: play the game a certain way, with a certain identity

64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: and a certain standard, and you know, they just accentuate that.

65
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: From that standpoint, I thought Coco was good the other

66
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: night his first game, Uh clearly, you know it was

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: it was his old old team and it was an

68
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: emotional night for him. So I thought he you know,

69
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: I thought for the most part, he played well. And

70
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, he's clearly for me, going to be a

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: guy that's advantageous for our hockey team in the offensive zone.

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Is certainly holding onto pox, keeping pucks and getting to

73
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: the net.

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Looking at morning with skate line rushes, it looked like

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Berkeley Catton out Tolven and takes that spot up on

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: the top line. When you look at your lines going

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: into this evening, what do you like about Tolven and

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: moving up and what have you thought about Berkeley Catton's

79
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: first few games in the NHL.

80
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: Well, I like Berkeley for starters, you know, and you'll

81
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: see here tonight where where Berkeley slots. You know, there's

82
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: again he's a young player who we feel can play

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: you know, multiple positions.

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: Again, you know, in saying that he's a guy who

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: has you know, you.

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: Don't want to overly confuse him in terms of where

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: he's playing, but we feel like, you know, he's done

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: a good enough job of being able to potentially be.

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: Moved around and we'll see where it goes.

90
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: What you saw on morning skate might not be what

91
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: you see five minutes into the game tonight.

92
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: The style Blackhawks are a team coming in a lot

93
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: of youth, a lot of skill. They're starting to put

94
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: it all together and have some success this season. It's

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: the return of Andre Bakowski back to Seattle, so an

96
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: emotional night for him as well. Lots of money on

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: that board. Probably, what can the crack and expect out

98
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: of the Hawks here tonight and what do they need

99
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: to what do they need to do to neutralize.

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: That well, you know, I mean you you pretty much

101
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: just talked about it. They've got some youth and the

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: veteran players. There's a good mix there. The youth much

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: similar to you know, some of our youth is starting to, uh,

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: you know, get more experience and gain in in years.

105
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: And you know, obviously, but Dark is an elite talent,

106
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: is an elite goal scorer, slash point getter.

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: And Berkovsky's had a great start the season.

108
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: You know, those two guys are playing together, they're feeling

109
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: it pretty good. You know, where they've I think become

110
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: even better as a team is defensively. You know, their

111
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: numbers are very good defensively, so you know they've got

112
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: some some big defenseman, some long defenseman, you know, that

113
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: make it very difficult to navigate your way through the

114
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: offensive zone on you know, it's gonna be a it's

115
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: going to be an extreme talent for our hockey team.

116
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: It's going to be a good hockey game tonight
