1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: Thanks, Mike Lane. After the game against Colorado, you're talking 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: about the irony of how this team has been playing 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: well despite the results, and maybe playing better now than 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: maybe in those stretches when they were winning. Looking back 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: at the game against the Colorado Avalanche, what did you 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: like most about the game and where do you felt 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: where do you feel the Kraken may have faltered a bit? 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: And trying to pull that. 9 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: Over the line. We played with pace. 10 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: You know, I thought our team was faster through the 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 3: neutral zone, and I thought we I thought we did 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: some good things offensively joining the rush obviously, you know 13 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 3: the ever League goal, you know, with Larsen going to 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 3: the backside, I thought, you know Wright's goal, with Alexiak 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 3: driving through the middle, We've created some more opportunity from 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: that standpoint, and we just played a faster. 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: More direct game. You know, where did we falter? 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: We make little mistakes that you know, end up costing us. 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: Just a simple control breakout where we you know. 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 3: Double double clutch, don't execute, take a penalty, and then 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: the next thing, you know, it's in the back of 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 3: the net. It's mind boggling, to be honest with you, 23 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: that you know, we play so well, and we we 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: haven't come out on the good side of things. But 25 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: if we can clean up that stuff, then we'll, you know, 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 3: we'll get back on the road that we need to 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: be on. 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: Not the first time we've seen Seattle play the top teams, 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: top stars in this league. Well, go back to a 30 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: couple of games against Winnipeg Edmondson this year. How do 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: you harness that momentum and that energy that we saw 32 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: last night moving forward here to tonight. 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: Well, to be honest with you, it shouldn't be hard. 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: It's you know, players are professionals. They getting paid a 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: lot of money to play this hockey game, and they 36 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: need to be ready every night. 37 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: Any update on Brandon Montour, I know he was out, 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: didn't return for the third period after that skirmish early 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: in the period. 40 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: Can you share an update on him? He's he's out 41 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: tonight and that's all. That's all I know for right now. 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: Looking at the schedule for Seattle, you've got four games 43 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: on this road trip before the holiday break, all in division, 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: all against teams that are right with you or above 45 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: you in the standings. Do you put any more importance 46 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: or significance on these four games? Just given the spot 47 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: that Seattle's in right now. 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, you know we're you know, we came off 49 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: our road trip about you know, three weeks ago, we 50 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: had a nice stretch of home games. You know, we 51 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: haven't gotten what we wanted out of those home games 52 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: at all, and that just adds the significance of these 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: next four games before the holidays. 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: Some sickness going around the locker room, but it seems 55 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: like the cracket, at least in practice and in the 56 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: last couple of games, have been able to play through that. 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,399 Speaker 1: What is the state of this team just given all 58 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: of that sickness and illness going around the room. 59 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 3: I think we're I think we're good. I think we're 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 3: kind of getting on the good side of it. You know, 61 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: we were worse off last week than we are right now, 62 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: so that's a positive. 63 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: You know. 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: And like I said, there aren't any excuses. You know, 65 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: we have guys that have played sick. I think they've 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: played well when they've played sick. 67 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: Some guys that want a really good job of that, 68 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: and you know there's been guys that just haven't been 69 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: able to go. We're not at that point right now 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: with anybody. 71 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Calgary Flames have a very strong penalty kill. They have 72 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: played a lot better their last ten games and they 73 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: did their first ten or fifteen games. What is it 74 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: about the Flames that presents a lot of issues for 75 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: your team tonight? Where have you seen the biggest growth 76 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: in their game from game one to where we're going 77 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: to see tonight. 78 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 3: Well, I think at the start of the year they were, 79 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: you know, doing what we're kind of doing now, making 80 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: a mistake here and a mistake there, which was costing them, 81 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: and it's tough to get off that track. 82 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: But they've found a way to do that. 83 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: They're special teams and certainly their penalty kill has been 84 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: very good for them, and they've got a balanced line 85 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: up it they're. 86 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: Big, and you know, they play hard, they play physical, 87 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: and you know that's kind of their mo o. And 88 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: our challenge. 89 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 3: Is we've got to come out and compete, and we've 90 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: got to come out in battle. You're gonna have to 91 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: win your one on one battles. The game hasn't changed 92 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 3: for one hundred and twenty five years. It's one on 93 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: one battles, and we've got to find a way to 94 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: win more of those, certainly on the walls in our zone. 95 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: Coming out of our zone. 96 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: If you look at their second goal and even their 97 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: third goal, you know we lose wall battles last game 98 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: and it ends up in the back of our nets. 99 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: So you know, our players as we continue to grow, 100 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: and certainly players that haven't played in this league very much, 101 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: as they continue to learn and grow the understanding of 102 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: those imperative things, those little things that make all the 103 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 3: difference in the world, have to get better.
