1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Klayne. A big five to one win against 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: your former club in the Washington Capitals a couple of 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: nights ago. Everything that seemingly could go right did go 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: right for Seattle. Just take us through that sixty minute 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: performance for your team. 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we started well. It's been a focus 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: of ours. You know, we had a couple of breaks too. 8 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 2: You know, they made a pretty nice play to chicker 9 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: in there off the rush in the first period that 10 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: he shot through the grease. I can't believe he missed it, 11 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: to be honest with you, But I thought for the 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: most part we were on our toes. We were, you know, 13 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: playing fast as fast as we could. Scored a couple 14 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 2: of goals by playing fast, you know, the last goal 15 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: by Veneers and certainly the ever Legal were really key 16 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 2: components to that. And you know, overall, I thought we'd 17 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: played a pretty solid game with a lot of commitment. 18 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: It was a four point night for Jared mccannon, probably 19 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: should have had the hat trick. I know there was 20 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: a few things in there that went along with calling 21 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: that goal back, but I mean, for a guy that's 22 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: had a lot of time missed due to injury this year, 23 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: what are you seeing and game and his ability to 24 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: seemingly not miss a beat now, I mean he's got 25 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: points in nineteen of his twenty seven games played this year. 26 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he's an elite and in my mind, he's 27 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: an elite scorer. He sees the ice well, which I've 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: documented quite a lot in terms of his poise in 29 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: his halfy sense. And you know, we we clearly missed 30 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 2: him when he was a little line up. 31 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 3: We love having him back. 32 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: I feel like now he's even starting to gain his 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: stride a little bit more. You know, for a while 34 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: there he was trying to catch the moving train, which 35 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: wasn't easy. And even though he was trying to catch 36 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: that train, he was still contributing. So I feel like 37 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: his game has come along. And you know, I think 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: that line, we need that line. And you know, they 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: stepped up to the plate the other night. With everyone 40 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: coming back to healthy. 41 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: Now in the last week and a half, you're finally 42 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: seeing some of that chemistry that you felt wasn't there. 43 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: What is it about the top three lines that now 44 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: have been able to be together for some time, they're 45 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: finding success. 46 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: Well, I think that you know, when they came back, 47 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: I guess you were trying to fit those pieces into 48 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: the puzzle and sometimes it's not just that easy. Guys 49 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: are at different levels in terms of their rehab and 50 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: now they're coming back. 51 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: Are they at eighty percent? Are they at ninety percent? 52 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: I think now that we've got everybody back, so to speak, touchwood, 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: you know. 54 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,279 Speaker 3: We have a pretty good grasp on who should. 55 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: Be where and what gives us the best opportunity as 56 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: a team to have success, not necessarily what gives the 57 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: individual the best opportunity to have success. 58 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: And we're all about the team here. Looking at the 59 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: Maple Leafs. 60 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: They're a team like Washington last the game, not maybe 61 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: at their best at the moment, but you know this 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: team can score Defensively, they don't give up a lot either. 63 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: You're very familiar with this team. What do they bring 64 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: to the table here tonight that can prove to be 65 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: a challenge for Seattle. 66 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: Well, they're, like you say, they're a veteran team. You 67 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: know that at the moment they've had a little bit 68 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: of a run there. 69 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: Not great in terms of you know, being at home, 70 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: and you know, I've been with the Toronto make Leafs 71 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 2: for a season. I'm pretty sure that they're looking forward 72 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: to getting away from the home fans and get on 73 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: the road where they have quite a few fans in 74 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 2: the building that are excited to be at the game. 75 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: And you know, I think with them they are seven 76 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: points out of a playoff spot right now or eight. 77 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: I believe it's desperate times for them so they can 78 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: score goals. They're second in the league and goals for 79 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: their power plays six in the league since Christmas at 80 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: over twenty eight percent. They're a dangerous and for formidable 81 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: opponent with some key players Matthews, you know, Mean and 82 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: or Damaris. 83 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: These guys are good hockey players. 84 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: So we have a real big test for us to 85 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: nat a home game before the break. I know you 86 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: want to put on a good show for the home 87 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: fans before going away for three weeks over a month almost. 88 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: Before you're back here. 89 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: What's going to be the big X factor for Seattle 90 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: here tonight. 91 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: Well, we just have to play our game. 92 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: We have to be ready to go right from the start, 93 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: and you know, we're gonna have to do what we do, 94 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: play to our identity, you know, which is we're gonna 95 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: have to defend long against this hockey team. If we 96 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: can defend well, we'll end up getting some opportunities. 97 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: So you know, it is a huge hockey game for us. 98 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: We're in a dog fight as well, and we know 99 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: that we need we need to get a win here 100 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: before we came the road here for three games before 101 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: the break.
