1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Klaye. Three to two Cracking fall in Nashville

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: in a game that the Cracking got off to a

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: really good start in that one, but it was a

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: three goal second for the Preds that spelled the end

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: for Seattle. Just take us through those sixty minutes and

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: how you felt that performance was compared to the previous

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: two games you played.

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we played well. You know, certainly the

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: starter was one of our better starts of the season.

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Those period one of better periods of the season, most

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: chances in any period you know that we've had this year.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: Came out well. I was, you know, we could have

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: got to three and four, but we didn't. You know,

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: in the second period we came out I thought we

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: I thought we didn't quite have the same energy. You know,

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: they ended up breaking us down a couple of times.

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: We played a little bit too much in our own zone,

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: we gave them some goals, and then I thought we

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: picked it up after that.

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: We had some really good chances to the second period.

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: Really the turning point.

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: Was, you know, maybe the disallowed goal to make it

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: through one for us by Shane right where the goalie

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: interference is called on Evans but you know, we we

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: have to find a way to be better for a

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: consistent sixty minutes.

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: You were talking earlier today about the fatigue and some

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: guys just standing around the defensive zone. What can you do,

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: especially here tonight's and limit that is against a Colorado

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: team that is so active and is so talented up front.

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be difficult, but you you know,

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: you've got to You've got to eliminate people and win

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: more battles.

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: That's just it in a nutshell.

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: You know, there's got to be a level of urgency

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: going into a battle that says I'm not losing this

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: battle to you, you know, and we've got a somehow

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 2: funny way to increase that level.

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Before the last game, you talked about how your top

40
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: nine to four group you needed to see more out

41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: of them. Coppocco had a really good game man, even years,

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: getting in his first NHL fight adding a goal for

43
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: the second consecutive game. Who stood out to you in

44
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: that national game and who were you happy to take

45
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: those words to heart following that loss the other night

46
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: to Otawa.

47
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: Well, I thought that for the most part, you know,

48
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: everybody you know took took the words to heart.

49
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: I thought we had a great start, you.

50
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: Know, and you know, there's certain guys I guess you

51
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: could say that standout a little bit more than other

52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: guys maybe, but I wasn't unhappy with the team.

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: When you see a guy like Maddy ben Air standing

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: up for his teams, obviously you don't want to see

55
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: your top line center getting into a fight. But what

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: does that say about the kind of player that he's

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: becoming and his maturation that you've seen from day one

58
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: now here to game sixty three, that he's stepping up

59
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: for his own teammates and also providing that offense as well.

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's he's a guy who as I've

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: come in here in government to him, he's continued to

62
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: evolve into more of a leader. You know, He's definitely

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: has a leadership quality. He showed that the other night

64
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: and stepping in for his teammates something that you know

65
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: everyone should do, but not always easy for a guy

66
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: like that to do. So, you know, I just think

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: that overall, as he grows here and gains experience, he's

68
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: growing into more of a leadership role and certainly more

69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: of a leader on the hockey team.

70
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: So it's nice to see.

71
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Whenever you play a team like Colorado, who's been one

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: of the juggernauts in the NHL for quite some time,

73
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: they got better at the deadline, seemingly no weaknesses for them.

74
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: What types of challenges does that prevents in terms of

75
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: your preparation, who to key in, what areas to key in?

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: What does that look like here tonight for Seattle?

77
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, our preparation doesn't change a whole lot.

78
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: We're going to make a couple of small adjustments that

79
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: we feel are necessary, you know, one off of face

80
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: offs against the McKinnon line. But at the end of

81
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: the day, you know, our game doesn't really change. You

82
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: have to be aware of mccar, You have to be

83
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: aware of NHS. You know, obviously McKinnon's dynamic the guys

84
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: plus fifty five or something like that, you know, this year,

85
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: So it's outrageous, but you know, we just have to

86
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: make sure that we're ready to play a solid team game.

87
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: Five man units are going to be key tonight.

88
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: From the last few games. Is there one area that

89
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: you can key on that's that you're saying this has

90
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: to be better from the last three games going into tonight.

91
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, closing in and dizol and getting the puck back
