Speaker 6: to two win last night over the New York Rangers.

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 6: Yet they are still two points clear of the cut

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,440

Speaker 6: Mike Benton Everett fits you, al Kaniski here all of

63
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 6: us together from NYC, yet on different microphones we're so close,

64
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 6: but get it feels kind of so far, fellas. But

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 6: this has been an amazing trip. I know I parachute

66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 6: it in here for this one and we'll get to

67
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 6: Arta Okal on the Beacon Plumbing hotline because I can't

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 6: wait later on to ask him about this here, but

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: we had a brief talk. You know, it almost kind

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 6: of feels like that if you can make it from

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 6: point A to point B and about roughly forty five

72
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 6: minutes or less, you've aced to travel exam here in

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 6: New York City and maybe Everett you said this, I

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 6: set myself back, you know, flying in from JFK. But

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 6: you know what, if you have a game plan, you

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 6: can make it work. And I was pretty proud of

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 6: that though.

78
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: Well, Arda brought up a really good point. He goes,

79
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: when flying the New York the biggest thing is to

80
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: pick the right airport, because like that is hands down

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: like and that is so true as someone who my

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: in laws live, you know, not too far from from

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: Midtown where we are right now over in Jersey. And

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: if you're flying in the LaGuardia, oh brother, you're flying

85
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: in a new or too, JFK. I'm a Newark guy.

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: I'll fly in the Newark. But you gotta pick the

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: right airport otherwise you are up a creek with no paddle.

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 8: But not all airplanes fly into every airport, So you

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 8: got do that Sophie's choice thing, that do you want

90
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 8: your air miles. Do you want your preferential treatment and

91
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 8: our plus commute to the hotel you're going to, or

92
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 8: do you want the convenient commute, not the air miles.

93
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: That's the best thing about Alaska Airlines. There's one gate.

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: There's one Alaska gate at Newark, and all the Seattle

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: flights flying to the same gate. I got my pizza slice,

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: I got a really good lobster roll placed right by

97
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: there as well. It's the same gate. I know where

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: I'm going. It's awesome.

99
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 6: This has been an amazing town so far to enjoy

100
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 6: because you have a little bit of everything. We've done

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 6: the New York slash already and there's more to come

102
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 6: once we get done here with this show. But tomorrow

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 6: night is New Jersey and the Crack and come off

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 6: a win where they finally get back on the tracks

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 6: after an ot loss against Minnesota and a loss at

106
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 6: Carolina which they could have maybe I think easily avoided

107
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 6: with a few tweaks in period three. But then you

108
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 6: bounce back after going down to nothing to the Rangers

109
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 6: last night. Guys, I think this recent three game stretch

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 6: taught us more about how much this team is kind

111
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 6: of like an eighteen wheeler getting out of the driveway.

112
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 6: They're a bit slow, but then when they get ramped up,

113
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 6: get out of the way and look out. Especially period

114
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 6: two in period three, I thought last night second period

115
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 6: adjustments told us a lot, and they got rolling and

116
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 6: there was virtually no stop in them.

117
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we talked about that, Mike.

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 8: But at the end of the first period, is that

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 8: I would I was really interested to see what adjustments

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 8: were going to be made because the second period is

121
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 8: typically has been typically not great for you for this team,

122
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 8: and going down to nothing, you weren't looking to turn

123
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 8: into four nothing in that second period. So the adjustments

124
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 8: they made actually absolutely paid off, and then they came

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 8: out of that second period tide that.

126
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: Was the Rangers game was one of those games where

127
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: historically you're down to nothing, and I've talked to a

128
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: few players about this type of thing. You're down to

129
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: nothing a couple of years ago, that would have been

130
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 3: for nothing pretty quick. But they were able to stem

131
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: the tide. And the overall theme for me of the

132
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: Rangers game was going to be that bounce back. You

133
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: had the overtime against the Wild, you had the loss

134
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: in Carolina game, that. You're right, Mikey, you should have won.

135
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: They could have won that game. They played well enough

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 3: in Carolina to get at least a point, but they didn't.

137
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: So the bounce back was going to be huge, and

138
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: me and JT talked about that as well. How are

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: they going to respond? What type of game do they need?

140
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: And you know, the Rangers did the same thing against

141
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: Buffalo a couple of games ago. Before the ten to

142
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: two drubbing in Boston. They looked good, They hit everything

143
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: that moved, They were able to set the tone early

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: and then they were like, well, all right, we're done,

145
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: pack it up. And it looked like they did the

146
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: same thing against the Cracking They played probably some of

147
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: the best hockey that we've seen against Seattle in recent games,

148
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: and then the Kraken woke up in the second period

149
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: and then the third period and got the win.

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 6: Do you think good starts are overrated now? Or is

151
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 6: this only like a dangerous sign of hey, you can't

152
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 6: keep doing this over and over and over.

153
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you can. I just don't think it's

154
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 5: a recipe for success.

155
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 8: I think that that good starts are you know, reflective

156
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 8: of the team's preparation. I think that good starts get

157
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 8: more momentum going that can carry through the rest of

158
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 8: the game. Might only carry it for a few shifts,

159
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 8: but grabbing that momentum, especially on the road, so important.

160
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 8: At home, you know, if you don't have a good start,

161
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 8: maybe the crowd can help get you into it, but

162
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 8: in the road, you take that crowd out of it

163
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 8: by getting that first goal. Having a great start, it's

164
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 8: absolutely the recipe to success.

165
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: I think having to consistently come from behind, if you

166
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: do it enough times, potentially could lead to a little

167
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: bit of complacency. Right Like you're saying to yourself, oh,

168
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: all right, we got this, no big deal, and then

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're playing Colorado, or you're playing Dallas,

170
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: or you're playing whoever. Right, I'm without I mean, you

171
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: need to show up ready to work. You have to

172
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: start on time, especially in this league, because any team

173
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter. If you're Vancouver at the bottom of

174
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: the standings, you're still in the National Hockey League. You're

175
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: still one of the best players in the world, and

176
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: these teams will find your holes and exploit them. So

177
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

178
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 9: You got to start on time every I think the

179
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 9: one caveat I would say to that is that you know,

180
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 9: when you do come back from being down and you

181
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 9: end up winning, First of all, it's an entertaining game.

182
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: Fortune for that team. Number one.

183
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 8: Number two is that I you know, I wouldn't want

184
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 8: to go into the playoffs with my team having not

185
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 8: done that a few times over the season, because I

186
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 8: guarantee you, if you're in the playoffs, you're going to

187
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 8: be down a goal or two. And if you don't

188
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 8: have that resilience, that belief that we can come back

189
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 8: from this because you've done it a half dozen times

190
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 8: throughout the season, you're in trouble. So I like that

191
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 8: they can tick that box to say, hey, we can

192
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 8: come back from being down to nothing.

193
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 5: But you don't want to start every game like that.

194
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 6: Krack And became the first team to hand the Rangers

195
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 6: a loss of any kind after the Rangers led after

196
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 6: one period of play, and it was just the third

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 6: win in sixteen tries for the Kraken when they trailed

198
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 6: after one period last evening, meshes certainly tell you something.

199
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: Berkeley Catton got the game winning goal and it was

200
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 6: a thing and maybe of a dispute debate because you know,

201
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 6: as Lane Lambert said, it was almost kind of like

202
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 6: a sword fight him Shane Wright trying to poke that

203
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 6: puck in from the crease. But I think that the

204
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 6: conversation surrounds Bertley Catton now with the fact that his

205
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 6: effort is now being rewarded with production. He got his

206
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 6: first NHL goal last week against Boston. He had a

207
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 6: goal scorers type of goal, if you want to use

208
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 6: that phrase, against the Carolina Hurricanes, and it came at

209
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 6: a high leverage moment moment back in period three, and

210
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 6: then the goal last night. He's already got four now

211
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 6: on the board and what feels like short orders since

212
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 6: that Boston game. Do you think this moves the needle

213
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 6: more for him and maybe even further up the lineup

214
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 6: or is he in the right spot where he has

215
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 6: to be here with Shane Wright and Jerem mccannon.

216
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: I just want to go on record again and say

217
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: that I called this. I said that once Bertley Catton

218
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: scores his first, he's going to get the next handful

219
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: in pretty short order. I'll let you, boy, I think

220
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: that Bertlee Catton right now is in the perfect spot

221
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: in the lineup. He's playing with Shane Wright. You've got

222
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: two younger skilled guys there. You've got Jared mccannon, who

223
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: can clean up the garbage if you will. He's got

224
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: the shot. There's a little bit of everything on that line.

225
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: And also you get to hide him a little bit

226
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 3: down your lineup. You don't have to give him the

227
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: top matchups, you don't have to put him out against

228
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: the tough assignments on a nightly basis. So I love

229
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: where he is in the lineup. I love the game

230
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: that he's playing right now. We said it last week.

231
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: His confidence is continuing to grow. He's taking more risks offensively,

232
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: which I love. He's finding ways to generate scoring chances.

233
00:11:53,720 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: You're seeing some pure goal scorer moves, pure skill talent

234
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: out of him, and I think where he is with

235
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: mccannon right is the perfect spot. I think he's going

236
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: to continue having success and then maybe down the road

237
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: depending on what happens when you start getting pieces back.

238
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: It sounds like Chandler Stevenson is on the ground here

239
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 3: somewhere in New York and may join the team either

240
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: against Jersey or or Boston. But depending on when and

241
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: who comes back, you'll make that decision. But for right,

242
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: now I would not touch Berkeley Catton at all.

243
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, two things for me, and number one, that goal

244
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 5: against the Rangers. You know, right place.

245
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 8: First of all, you know, the goal scorers got to

246
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 8: be in the right place to receive a pass. He

247
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 8: was in the right place. Number two, you know, yeah,

248
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 8: everybody's smacking in a puck and last stick to touch

249
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 8: it is the one that gets credit. Turns out it

250
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 8: was that Berkeley was Berkeley Catton stick that touched it

251
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 8: before it went in, so he gets credit for the goal.

252
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 8: I also think that maybe it's later this year, maybe

253
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 8: it's really in the next year.

254
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 5: I don't know.

255
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 8: You know, based on development, they'll come a time where

256
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 8: he receives a puck like that and it gets roofed

257
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 8: under the bar, like just hands down, receives the puck,

258
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 8: I thought last night in that game against the Rangers,

259
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 8: and he hesitated a little bit receiving that puck, almost

260
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 8: surprised to get it. Yeah, it took him a second

261
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 8: to get back on net, even though it.

262
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 5: Was it was simply a tap in.

263
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 8: And I just think that's that's the evolution of his

264
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 8: game and it will get better there.

265
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: So good marks on him.

266
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 8: The second thing is and put this under stats that

267
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 8: are fun to talk about but are really not that relevant.

268
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 8: The one I liked from going into the game yesterday

269
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 8: was talking about how long it took him to get

270
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 8: to get his first goal at Berkeley Catton and it

271
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 8: said no players selected in either of the last two

272
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 8: NHL drafts has more goals in calendar year twenty twenty

273
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 8: six than Berkeley Catten.

274
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 5: Boys. We're twelve days into the year.

275
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 6: No small sample size, but you know, if it's the

276
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 6: narrative though, so I'll share the story.

277
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: I'll share that stat here. I was not prepared to

278
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 5: share that stat on the broadcast.

279
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 8: But he adds one more goal to that total, so

280
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 8: I assume he still retains that that title.

281
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: This is called the stat dump on Cracking Weekly.

282
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 6: This is called our stat dump here, and we can

283
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 6: easily find a sponsor for this if we want.

284
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: To go ahead and go down that road.

285
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 6: But that was a thing of beauty to read, uh,

286
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 6: just the other day. But hey, Berkeley cat and getting

287
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 6: goals now by the bunch is it kind of feels

288
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 6: like and he's got four goals now in four games.

289
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 6: So ever, and again you called it, I'll give you your.

290
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: Props on this.

291
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 6: You said, just get one and then watch the floodgates

292
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 6: open here and the cracking can certainly use that kind

293
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 6: of production rolling into New Jersey.

294
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: Then Boston and then Utah.

295
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 6: As you mentioned as well, Everett Chandler, Stevenson of course

296
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 6: activated Oscar Fisker Muleguard sent back to Coachella Valley. So

297
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 6: we're gonna see a little bit more movement here in

298
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 6: the lineup. And I think again, this is where you

299
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 6: kind of give Freddie Gudrouz some unsung here real props

300
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 6: for filling in.

301
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: That's not an easy assignment.

302
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 6: And this is kind of the reason why they got him,

303
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 6: was that jack of all trades type of brand that

304
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 6: he brings here to this team. And I think maybe

305
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 6: potentially you see him ship back now to the wing

306
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 6: with Stevenson back in the mix, assuming he's in here

307
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 6: for New Jersey. But here's the bigger question, what happens

308
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 6: next here with Brandon Montour back after we saw him

309
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 6: in a red non contact jersey at Madison Square Garden.

310
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, ty Karcha was a healthy scratch again

311
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 8: in the Ranger game. If I'm a Betty Man, I

312
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 8: wouldn't be surprised if it's ty Krtsche that gets pushed

313
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 8: down to Coachella. You know, he's done a lot for

314
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 8: the team. But I think that, as I've mentioned before,

315
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 8: Jacob Molanston has been competing for a role on this team,

316
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 8: on that fourth line, and you know he's he's been

317
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 8: doing what's what's been expected of him.

318
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: So if I had to bet, that would be my bet.

319
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: But we'll see.

320
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 8: But something that absolutely does have to happen because Stevehnson

321
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 8: is coming back into the lineup, Montor is coming back

322
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 8: into the lineup, and obviously changes need to be made.

323
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is annoying, right, I mean, I can't even

324
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: give you an answer because this team misses so much

325
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: with Montor out of the lineup and Stevenson out of

326
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: the lineup. But the way that they're playing right now,

327
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: you know, you don't want to upset that proverbial apple cart,

328
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: but you can't even keep everyone on the roster because

329
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: you're going to be at your roster limit. You got

330
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: twenty three guys, so they come back, you're at twenty four. Yeah,

331
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be a challenge. I don't envy ron

332
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: or Box or Lane I don't envy that management staff

333
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: because everyone in the lineup has been doing their part.

334
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Everyone in the lineup has been doing what's been asked

335
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: of them. But yeah, I don't. I can't answer that

336
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 3: question because you know, I can make an argument for

337
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: four guys to come out of the lineup, but then

338
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, you lose this, well, you lose that. Well.

339
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: They had a really good last couple of games, so

340
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: to quote, you know, one of my first loves of

341
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: my life, Danny Jackson, What have you done for me lately?

342
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: And lately they they've been doing well. So it's gonna

343
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: be hard. I can't answer that question right now.

344
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think about it. What what parts when? When?

345
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 6: When when when you kind of consider, you know, you

346
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 6: don't want to upset the Apple cards, so to speak.

347
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: What parts of this team's game are sustainable? I think

348
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 6: for the long haul, and what part do you want

349
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: to see? Maybe I think tweet to make everything sustainable

350
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 6: moving into post Olympic period, March trade deadline, and then

351
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 6: even to April, because man at the crack and can

352
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 6: play meaningful games in April.

353
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: They're in business in more ways than one.

354
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, I think for me, the fourth line. I mean,

355
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 3: it's again I understand you have to with with Stevenson

356
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: coming back in the lineup. I would not touch that

357
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 3: fourth line until they gave me a reason to and

358
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: the last handful of games that fourth line has not

359
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: given me a reason to break it up. Right. I

360
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 3: like the McCann line with Caton and Right, I think

361
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 3: they're starting to build something there. I don't want to

362
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 3: touch that line either, But again, with Stevenson coming back in,

363
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna have to move some things around. But

364
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: I think the sustainable for me is the identity that

365
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: this team has brought the last few games. But the

366
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: last couple of games have also exposed an issue that

367
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 3: you don't really have without Steve with Stevenson and Everly

368
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: in the lineup, and that's puck management. Right. There's been

369
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: far too many turnovers the last couple of games. Chandler,

370
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: Stevenson's not given that puck away, Jordan Everly's not given

371
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: the puck away. So you get Ebs back against the Rangers.

372
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: Stevenson presumably will be back against the Devils, So I

373
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 3: think you're gonna see those giveaways and those and overs

374
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: tightened up a little bit so that's where you get

375
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: better with Stevenson, in addition to his skating ability and

376
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: his power play and the way that he controls the puck.

377
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: But those are the areas that you want to see.

378
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 3: Staying long term is limiting those turnovers. But you know,

379
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: again it goes back to the question who comes out.

380
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, Jim, it's hard. I don't know. I

381
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: don't know.

382
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, what you asked about to what you'd like

383
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 8: to see change. I think we talked about some of

384
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 8: them already. Better starts, more consistent, better better starts. That's

385
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 8: number one. Number two, the PK has to get better.

386
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 8: I don't think a team that's at the bottom of

387
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 8: the league with the PK is going to have success

388
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 8: in in you know, the latter half of the year.

389
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 8: Certainly it matters in the playoffs as well, so that

390
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 8: PK has to get better. I think what needs to

391
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 8: stay consistent is goaltending. With with this goaltending trio, if

392
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 8: they can keep games at two goals against or less,

393
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 8: every single game is an opportunity for team to win.

394
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 5: So that has to stay consistent. But those are the

395
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 5: three things I wanted to.

396
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: Mention Mike before we pause.

397
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 6: How much is this Eastern Conference road trip going to

398
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 6: matter for the ultimate meaning of this season and in

399
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 6: this playoff race.

400
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be huge because it's not an

401
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 3: easy road trip. You go Minnesota, fly Carolina. You know

402
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: you don't get the extra day off. You're going through

403
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: the cities against two really strong, you know teams in

404
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: the Rangers and Devils. From a from a desperation standpoint,

405
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: you know they need these wins because their season are

406
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: slowly is tripping away. And then you go to Boston,

407
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: a team that you beat last week, but they're coming

408
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: off of a ten goal output a couple of games ago.

409
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: And then you pick up Utah on the way back,

410
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: a team that you've only played twice ever in their building,

411
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: but you've struggled in that building for a Saturday afternoon game.

412
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a tough trip logistically,

413
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: but if the Kraken can come through this trip, you

414
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: know you're one in one so far. You find a

415
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 3: way to mentally get two more wins and maybe go

416
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 3: three zero or three one and one on this trip.

417
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: I think that's going to really tell a lot about

418
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: this team and what they're able to do when facing

419
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: a little bit of adversity like the schedule has been

420
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: presenting so far this month.

421
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you're coming into the road trip, you know,

422
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 8: five games, ten points in the table. You know, I'd

423
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 8: like to see eight, but I think seven or eight

424
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 8: points out of it is a successful road trip. You know,

425
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 8: you give up that first one in Carolina, and I

426
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 8: think that you know, if you got to lose one,

427
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 8: that's probably the one you know, you get you got

428
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 8: to lose. Then you come back to New York and

429
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 8: go down to nothing and get a great comeback win.

430
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 8: And I think that sets the stage for the remaining

431
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 8: three games of the road trip, because as the as

432
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 8: the man said, if you can do it here, you

433
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 8: can do it anywhere. And why not go on a

434
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 8: three game heater for the rest of this trip and

435
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 8: pull four more or three more wins in it and

436
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 8: come home for.

437
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 6: One and oh the effects of last night names that

438
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: could be out there and much more. We're gonna talk

439
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 6: about that with Arta Ocal for the NHL on ESPN

440
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 6: right after this right here on Cracking Weekly on ninety

441
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 6: three three KJRFM, only one point ahead of both Henderson

442
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 6: and Tucson. They opened up a two game series this

443
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 6: evening in Texas. Jagger Ferkus as you're leading scorer thirty

444
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: four points right now. He leads the Firebirds Logan Morrison,

445
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 6: pacing them in the goal scoring category with seventeen this season.

446
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get.

447
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 6: Down to the Beacon Plumbing hotline as Arta Ocal joining

448
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: us here from the NHL on ESPN, and areta you

449
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: being not too far away from here. Bristol's not too

450
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 6: far a little bit north of us. There's one thing

451
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 6: at least this West coast right here, and me takes

452
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 6: pride in it, is that it's getting from point A

453
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 6: to point B and what can be the busiest city

454
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: in America. So I mean you go ahead and be

455
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 6: the judge here on this one. You know, you pick

456
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 6: the airport and we can talk about this, and I

457
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 6: picked JFK to fly into. But then you go right

458
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 6: from the AirTrain to Long Island Railroad, out of Penn Station,

459
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: boom into the hotel room in forty minutes. I make

460
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 6: the great how you doing, Bud?

461
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 10: Forty minutes? That's like MVP level we should be handing you.

462
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 10: That's that's a hard jeffee. That's a heart trophy.

463
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: And he did it off foot too. He left that out.

464
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: He walked from JFK down here.

465
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: To Oh, come on, that's unbelievable. That's that's impressive.

466
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 5: Man.

467
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: That's Hall of Fame numbers right there.

468
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

469
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 10: Picking the right airport is the big one, right, I

470
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 10: mean depending on.

471
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: Where you live.

472
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 10: If you can see, like I've become a softy at

473
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 10: my old age, especially when I take the kids to

474
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 10: like Disney World.

475
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: The first place I'm looking.

476
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 10: At is Westchester Airport, like I want to try to

477
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 10: avoid the NYC airports at all costs, and especially people

478
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 10: at ESPN because Bristol is like twenty minutes away from Hartford.

479
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 10: The first airport they're checking is Bradley because and a

480
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 10: lot of people would prefer to take it. You guys

481
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 10: can relate to this because you travel all the time.

482
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 10: They would they would rather take the connection right, like

483
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 10: a one stop to avoid the mass hysteria of a giant,

484
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 10: busy airport then to have to go to a LaGuardia

485
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 10: or JFK even for a non stop.

486
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 6: Yeah see, I set myself back a bit because I

487
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 6: parachute it in on this trip, So me making my

488
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 6: pick didn't know the difference and said, eh, JFK, why not.

489
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: But I kind of made up for it and kind

490
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 6: of got past the adventures. So anyway, went on the

491
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 6: book for that one. Let's get out of the hockey

492
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 6: side of things here at first. Off, my man, what

493
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 6: surprised you the most about this NHL season so far?

494
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 10: The parody the Eastern Coman parody shouldn't be a surprise

495
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 10: to any of us, but the Eastern Conference. I was

496
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 10: looking at this around American Thanksgiving. I know, we love

497
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 10: to do that whole oh if they're in a playoff spot,

498
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 10: the whole statistics about that fourth Thursday in November. But

499
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 10: in the Eastern Conference there was only nine points separating

500
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 10: first to last in that conference, and it's never in

501
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 10: the last ten years, by my research, it's never been

502
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 10: that tight.

503
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: So any playoff spot is up for grabs.

504
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 10: Look no further than I mean, we will talk about

505
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 10: Seattle in a second. They're on a hot streak, but

506
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 10: like Buffalo on a similar streak, Tampa on a ten

507
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 10: game win streak, like your one solid wind streak away

508
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 10: from firmly putting yourself back into playoff contention. So the

509
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 10: East is certainly a challenge, is a big surprise. This

510
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 10: is also not a big surprise, but the central like

511
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 10: the top three, the argument and I'd love to hear

512
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 10: your thoughts on this too, like the argument for the

513
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 10: one to sixteen or the one to eight changing the

514
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 10: playoff format. I know this happens every year, but looking

515
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 10: at the abs and the stars in the wild, I

516
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 10: feel like this year it's going to gain the most

517
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 10: traction for people to really call for because one of

518
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 10: those three teams is going to be out in the

519
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 10: first round. Two of those three teams are going to

520
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 10: be out in the second round. So it's almost like

521
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 10: all of those combinations. Everett can be Western Conference Finals,

522
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 10: and they did.

523
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 3: They did this because they wanted to save on travel,

524
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: right I remember when this was going on, they were like, hey,

525
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 3: it's not fair. So right now, looking at the West,

526
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: you've got Colorado, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Jose, Minnesota, Seattle, Vegas,

527
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: Edmonton in the first round. If you went one through eight.

528
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: I like all of those matchups, and I would love

529
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: to go back to one through eight. I also want

530
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 3: to go back to white jerseys at home, but we'll

531
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: talk about that later. I or at least do what

532
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: the ETCHL or the AHL does and do the mid

533
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: season swaps. Right at game forty two, you go, you

534
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 3: switch from darks and homes to whites and homes. But anyway,

535
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: I would love to go back one through eight. The

536
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: way that these guys travel now, I mean, unless you're

537
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 3: doing when Detroit was in the East, what was it

538
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 3: the Four Cup? I think the Red Wings had to

539
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 3: go through Calgary, San Jose and Anaheim or something like

540
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: that on their run to the final. So yeah, that's

541
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: a little bit hilacious. But I think now, unless you're

542
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: doing a Chicago Anaheim or a Chicago Vancouver, I got

543
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: no problem with going one through eight because you're right,

544
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: you're losing a lot of potentially really good matchups later

545
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.

546
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: So far, the.

547
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 6: Crack and nine to one and two last twelve games

548
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 6: are to this has been a turnaround that is has

549
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 6: begun to grab a lot more attention. Yeah, the goaltending reasons,

550
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 6: you have, power play reasons, you have more stability, and

551
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 6: the lineup reasons here, especially upfront. But how far have

552
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 6: the Crack and I think to you come to be

553
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 6: a serious contender for a playoff spot at this point?

554
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

555
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 2: Very serious?

556
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 10: I mean from my twenty thousand foot view. Obviously to

557
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 10: the listeners, I'm not as dialed in as you might

558
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 10: and you Everett on a day to day basis with

559
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 10: the team. But I mean, even I'm looking at the

560
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 10: team stats right now, like I'm not being rude when

561
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 10: I say this, but this doesn't look like a team

562
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 10: that's third in the Pacific When I'm looking at their

563
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 10: point totals right they're among the lowest scoring teams in

564
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 10: the league. But also on this win streak, they've allowed

565
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 10: among the lowest goals per game. And Philip Grubauer has

566
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 10: been incredible in this stretch.

567
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: I was looking this up.

568
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 10: In eight of his last nine games, he's posted north

569
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 10: of nine hundred save percentage and his say percentage is incredible.

570
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 10: They're getting that depth contributions even though it's not like

571
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 10: high volume numbers.

572
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 2: Like, don't compare their numbers to Colorado.

573
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 10: I don't think any team should compare their numbers to Colorado,

574
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 10: but particularly Seattle here.

575
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 6: Like they are from a different planet.

576
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: Man.

577
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, they really are, Like they they're a whole conversation

578
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 10: onto themselves.

579
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: But in terms of Seattle, like the Western Conference certainly.

580
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 10: Has a gap between the good teams and the not

581
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 10: so good teams, and that's starting to form even more

582
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 10: as the season progresses, unlike the Eastern Conference, and so

583
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 10: I feel like Seattle has really made a case for

584
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 10: themselves to be a playoff contending team, which is very

585
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 10: encouraging to see because we're what year where you're four

586
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 10: now with the Krakens, so five year five, So this

587
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 10: would be a great year to you know, revisit that

588
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 10: one magical playoff win against the Avalanche right in Game seven,

589
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 10: So it would be it would be nice to see

590
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 10: Seattle back in the postseason.

591
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people when Ley Lambert was

592
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 3: hired that, you know, kind of raise their eyebrow about

593
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: the hiring the defensive coach, the guy that even though

594
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 3: we made the playoffs on Long Island, you know, a

595
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 3: lot of folks didn't didn't like this higher. But now

596
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 3: I think are starting to eat their words a little bit.

597
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: When you saw the hiring of Lane Lambert, what was

598
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: your first thought, and just from again your twenty thousand

599
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: foot view, how have you felt about the job that

600
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: he's done coaching this team given the pieces that they have.

601
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 10: So that was the defensive minded structure, was the first

602
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 10: thing I thought of, now you tell me, you correct

603
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 10: me if I'm wrong here.

604
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: When I was watching cracking.

605
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 10: Games before Lane Lambert, it felt like the team was

606
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 10: giving up more opportunities in the slot, Like teams were

607
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 10: able to get into the slot a lot easier, get

608
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 10: shots on group.

609
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: Hour and whatever your advanced stat metric is, shots per

610
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 3: danger ye on a Tuesday, Like we led. We led

611
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: that category a lot and danger shots dangered, yes, yes,

612
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 3: of danger, super dangerous danger. We were in the top.

613
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: Like that's our new stat the sound the alarm shots.

614
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 10: The Kraken led in those chances, unfortunately.

615
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: Yes, please do.

616
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 10: But but now, look, I haven't watched every second of

617
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 10: every game of the wind Streak, but in the highlights

618
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 10: that I'm seeing, like certain shifts, I'm noticing that the

619
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 10: Kraken are are doing their best and succeeding in many

620
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 10: cases to keep those opportunities to the walls, to keep

621
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 10: those opportunities to the outside.

622
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: So there's a lot less of those five alarm bell

623
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: def con one chances. So that's that's been very, very helpful.

624
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 10: And then when you have a goalie like Philip, like, look,

625
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 10: let's be honest, like goaltending is still to me, the

626
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 10: most important position.

627
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: Right you get good goaltending, that goalie is going to

628
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: keep you in games.

629
00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 10: Like so, I mean we're talking about like the cracking

630
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 10: yesterday against the Rangers, right like the Rangers could have

631
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 10: used that in the second and third period, right like

632
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 10: they So I would say that that to me, that

633
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 10: the defensive minded structure was the first thing that came

634
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 10: to mind with Lane Lambert. And look, this is a

635
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 10: good sample size and this is a good example of

636
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 10: a team winning based on that.

637
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: So you got to give him credit for that.

638
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 6: After the krack And went up three to Berkeley, kat

639
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 6: And had that game winning goal. Of my goodness, now

640
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 6: four goals and four games now for the nineteen year

641
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 6: old rookie. But I couldn't really make out of it

642
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 6: from my earpiece as I was calling the game on radio.

643
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 6: But I found out later the chance got louder and

644
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 6: the chants were fired. Drury, how much more troubled did

645
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 6: the Kraken put the Rangers in after last night's game?

646
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 10: So I'll point to a tweet that Stan Fischler put out.

647
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 10: Stan Fischler, as we all know, one of the legends

648
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 10: in hockey coverage, he's written like a hundred books before

649
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 10: the Kraken game. After the ten two loss to Boston

650
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 10: on Saturday, he said, this is the game to me,

651
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 10: that is the do or die game for the for

652
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 10: the Rangers. And in fact, in his tweet he said

653
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 10: a loss equals ignomini, which in itself is a great

654
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 10: word to use.

655
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: Shout out to Stan.

656
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 10: But essentially the season is over in his eyes if

657
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 10: the Rangers lose to the Kraken, and by the way,

658
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 10: they go up to nothing in the first period and

659
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 10: then things look pretty rosy. Mika's a Bandajad is on

660
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 10: a re bounce back. Yes, there's injuries with Fox and

661
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 10: Shasturkin for the Rangers, but then to lose the way

662
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 10: that they did, you know, now you're asking questions about

663
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 10: what kind of team are they going to be at

664
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 10: the trade deadline? Are we going to see a player

665
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 10: like Artemi Paneren in a different sweater by the end

666
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 10: of the season. Would a guy like Artemi Paneren look

667
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 10: great in a cracken jersey?

668
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: Oh good, that's a you know what?

669
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 10: But like seriously like that, yeah, thinking about shutting down

670
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 10: the season for the Rangers.

671
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, people love to say, the Kraken don't

672
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 3: have a superstar. They're not sexy. I mean, I don't

673
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 3: know if you look at available players it gets any

674
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: sexier than our Timmy Vanieran. So yesterday, Columbus makes what

675
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: I thought was a surprising coaching change with Dean Everson

676
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: leaving and Rick Bones coming in. Where do you feel

677
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: this puts Columbus because I know, again it's not been

678
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: the season that they wanted. Currently at the bottom of

679
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: the East, but again still only seven points back of

680
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 3: a playoff spot. What did you make of Rick Bones

681
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 3: coming off of TNT and back to a bench in

682
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: the NHL.

683
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 2: Well, he's a great hockey mind. We all know that.

684
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 10: I mean a lot of people are going to point

685
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 10: to the age, right, that's going to be that. I mean,

686
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 10: we just went through this with the University of Michigan, right,

687
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 10: he was a sixty six year old coach.

688
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: Everyone days, Kyle Rising exactly Rising on that. So I

689
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: get it.

690
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 10: But at the same time, you know, like I appreciate

691
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 10: the change, I would be shocked if we don't see

692
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 10: maybe even one or two more, certainly in the East

693
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 10: like that.

694
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: That's definitely that's a conference that those teams all feel

695
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: like they have a.

696
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 10: Chance, you know, And let's be honest with Buffalo for example,

697
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 10: when when yarmol Kekel is speaking of Columbus, when Yarmo

698
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 10: Kekel line and got hired, right, the next place that

699
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 10: people were looking immediately was Lindy rough Well that all

700
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 10: of a sudden, you go on a ten game heater,

701
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 10: and then you lose one game, and then you're back

702
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 10: on a three or four game heater ever, and then

703
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 10: suddenly your job is secure.

704
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: And I talked with.

705
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 10: John Toroderella about this all the time, Like he always

706
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 10: stresses how volatile that. I mean, it's obvious to us

707
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 10: on the outside looking in how volatile these jobs are.

708
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 10: But even like he stresses often about how you know,

709
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 10: when you're in that pressure cooker, it's tough not to

710
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 10: think about it and put it aside, especially when everyone

711
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 10: has you under microscope and you're constantly every single thing

712
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 10: you do is scrutinized, especially in bigger in larger markets, right,

713
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 10: so you're always under that microscope, especially in the coaching job,

714
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 10: like the turnover is so high. It takes one losing

715
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 10: streak and suddenly you're, you know, possibly out of a job.

716
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 6: Arta Okay, I'll joining us right now on the Beacon

717
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 6: Plumbing hotline. Here on Cracking Weekly Arta we talked about

718
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 6: parody off the top and still a lot to get

719
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 6: sorted out right around the Olympic break and then after

720
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 6: there's a trade freeze as well, and what kind of

721
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 6: lead into more of this kind of like in a

722
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 6: gradual pace, but beginning with here at this point, do

723
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 6: you see this either potentially as a buyer's or a

724
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 6: seller's market at trade deadline time?

725
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 10: Oh, I think there's going to be well at the

726
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 10: at the actual trade deadline, it might be quiet simply

727
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 10: because simply because the gms will have so much time

728
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 10: throughout the entire month to make deals.

729
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: So I don't know if we're.

730
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 10: Gonna have record amounts of trades even trade deadline week.

731
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 10: I think it's gonna be as a slow drip. I

732
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 10: think we're gonna see a lot of movement during the Olympics.

733
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 10: So it's like for US media types it's gonna be oh,

734
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 10: what a team USA do today? And by the way,

735
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 10: there was also this trade actually which would make for

736
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 10: some funny It would actually make for some funny like

737
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 10: what if like players on the Olympic teams are suddenly

738
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 10: like teammates or not teammates anymore.

739
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: Like that'll make for some funny dynamics, right.

740
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: I was just about to ask, Mike, you said it

741
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: last week. I don't have it in front of me.

742
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 3: When is that trade freeze? And does it extend through

743
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: the games? Like could we see the morning of the

744
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 3: gold medal game Brady Kachuck being traded for someone or

745
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like, like, what is the

746
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 3: what's that date?

747
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 6: February fourth? Want to say begins a roster freeze?

748
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, because I'm just curious if, because you're right, Arta,

749
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: that would be that would be fascinating if you're going

750
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 3: into the gold medal game and you score on someone

751
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: and you guys are on the same plane back it.

752
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 6: Also ends on the twenty second of February.

753
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so so so that yeah, then then it

754
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't happen. But no, I still believe that there ten seconds,

755
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.

756
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 10: I still feel like the GMS are in the mode

757
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 10: to like, let me put it this way. Then, with

758
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 10: that in mind, February twenty third, I wouldn't be surprised

759
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 10: if like three or four trades were announced, like gms

760
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 10: will just be thinking and talking and all of a sudden,

761
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 10: you know, the Central Registry is going to have like

762
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 10: a lineup of like twenty five items that they have

763
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 10: to look through for something like.

764
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 3: That, because no one, no one could stop.

765
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: A Monday morning, right.

766
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's not an embargo, right, Like, it's not like

767
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 10: a it's not illegal for the gms to talk during

768
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 10: the freeze.

769
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 2: It's just they can't make trades.

770
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: Right.

771
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 6: Part of the intrigue with the Crack and Roster has

772
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 6: always been when are they going to add a top line,

773
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 6: elite superstar presence up front? And now they've always been

774
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 6: working to try to see, you know, can Maddy Beniers

775
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 6: fit that Bill could Shane right maybe pop into something

776
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 6: like that down the road. And you have Berkeley Caton,

777
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 6: who's just nineteen years of age, eighth overall pick could

778
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 6: he be there? And then even a guy like Jack

779
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 6: O'Brien back at the OHL. So I'm giving him David

780
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 6: crazy comparisons. But still there's always the allure and the

781
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 6: intrigue of potentially finding a piece via trade. Now we've

782
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 6: heard our Timmy Peneren's name out there, we've heard Alex

783
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 6: Tuck's name out there, We've heard Ryan O'Reilly's name out there,

784
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 6: and the capit really isn't that big compared to some

785
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 6: other players. But is there a name that really intrigues

786
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 6: you the most who could be moved here in the

787
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 6: oncoming weeks upfront?

788
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, I like Everett's thought about a superstar, someone who's

789
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 10: a top line scorer.

790
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 2: Paneren would fit that bill for sure.

791
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 10: Like, at at their best, the Krack can operate like

792
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 10: four second third lines right like, like they have the

793
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 10: depth like at when they are at their best, they

794
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 10: they and that's good for you know, a playoff run

795
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 10: if they operate at their on paper, at.

796
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: Their best not top heavy.

797
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're not top heavy and they have good distribution

798
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 10: and depth, which is what you need to win championships.

799
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that.

800
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 10: But yeah, I would say two top line goal scorers

801
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 10: to add to that team would be extremely beneficial.

802
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 6: Finally, do you see any weakness here with Colorado wherever

803
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 6: gets some in the first round.

804
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 10: I mean, if we're looking at the Boston situation, maybe

805
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 10: complacency might be the only thing. I just don't see

806
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 10: Nathan McKinnon allowing that though this is the guy that

807
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 10: refuses John Food in the locker room, right, Like he's

808
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 10: just I just don't see him as the guy that's like,

809
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 10: all right, well, we had a great regular season, let's

810
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 10: pack it in and not give our full effort during

811
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 10: the playoffs. So he would counter that for sure. I

812
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 10: just yeah, they they they look unstoppable, you know what,

813
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 10: Like the most surprising thing to to the point about

814
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 10: Grubauer with the Kraken, Like their goaltending has been unreal,

815
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 10: Like that's that, And but who would have I don't

816
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 10: think a lot of people would have predicted that for

817
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 10: for the UH, especially Devil's fans, who are just maulding

818
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 10: at this. They're just very upset at the idea that

819
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 10: that they're thriving under a system like Colorado's.

820
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: I was watching the Leafs game.

821
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 10: Leafs Abs gain because we have the Leaves tonight against

822
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 10: the Mammoth.

823
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

824
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: The Abs are just too fast.

825
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 10: Even a minor minor was great in net for Colorado,

826
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 10: Like they just they just have they just have it everywhere.

827
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 10: It's just this is a magical year for them. It

828
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 10: would take a special team and a special circumstance UH

829
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 10: to eliminate them.

830
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 3: I would think, but you know what, those those are

831
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: the teams the Colorado Avalanche this year. Those are the

832
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 3: teams that are world beaters throughout the regular season and

833
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: then they get tripped up in the first round. Like

834
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 3: I look at Tampa. Remember when Tampa got upset by

835
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 3: Columbus in the first round. Like obviously they didn't have

836
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 3: that same season, But you know, everybody, everybody's ready to

837
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 3: etch mccarr and McKinnon's name on the Cup. Again, I

838
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 3: don't know, man, like that. Playoff hockey is different because

839
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna have guys. Everyone's been saying the cracking the

840
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: way that they play, they play playoff hockey right. They

841
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 3: there are three to two teams every single night. They're

842
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: comfortable being a three to two team. All you need

843
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: to do is find the right team and the right

844
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: system to shut down that line. And you know, Annoy

845
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 3: McKinnon and mccar kracking did it. And I'm not ready

846
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 3: to say that the Abs are gonna cake walk their

847
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: way to the Cup final.

848
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 10: Yea, that's the Colorad, I mean, not color the Carolina

849
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 10: argument that you're playing out one hundred percent all season

850
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 10: long and you're you're just destroying opponents but then when

851
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 10: everyone's playing one hundred percent, that's when your weakness has

852
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 10: come through the Yeah, that's.

853
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: A very good point.

854
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 6: It's a very good like for sixty minutes, man, Carolina,

855
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 6: it is unbelieving.

856
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very good point.

857
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 6: Ever Itt, well, hey, it's always fast paced, fast moment,

Speaker 6: you have four days in this city.

896
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:09,600

898
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: And this is your first time here too, Mikey. You're

899
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 3: gonna go out and be a tourist. You get to

900
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 3: just make sure keep it moving if you gotta if

901
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: you gotta stop, you know, maybe pull off to the side,

902
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 3: do it at a corner, duck into a store, keep

903
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 3: on moving. Then I gotta keep it.

904
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 6: I almost had one of those moments too, when I

905
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 6: was transitioning in between spots from I want to say,

906
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 6: off of Long Island Railroad and into Penn Station and

907
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 6: we're all moving, and I remembered, oh wait, there are

908
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 6: no escalators here, and I still have my bag handle

909
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 6: about roughly prop two feet high. I better move right

910
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 6: on over or it's going to be just like the

911
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 6: one scene from Seinfeld where I believe it was Kramer

912
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 6: who gets moved back off the subway to my baby

913
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 6: takes the morning Trade and remember that, and he just

914
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 6: gets walled right up.

915
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: It's like a tidal wave.

916
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 8: Whatever you do, Mike, you don't buy any persons out

917
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 8: of garbage bags. Those are not Gucci persons.

918
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:09,959
Speaker 5: Those are.

919
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: There.

920
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 6: There are certain spots in Los Angeles I learned growing

921
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 6: up where you know you're not buying a Saiko, you're

922
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 6: buying a Faco the watch brand onto our mail bags

923
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 6: segments gracefully again, you can find me an except Benton

924
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 6: underscore Mike ever fits you at the Voice fits Al

925
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 6: Kaniski at Al Kanisky as well.

926
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

927
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 6: We get a question in here from Tyler Tyler asking

928
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 6: do you see a scenario with the bunch standings where

929
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 6: a superstar player shakes loose and the crack and can

930
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 6: go all in by unloading from their copboard of draft

931
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 6: picks from Tyler at X We discussed this a bit

932
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 6: here with Arta Ocal recently about names that are available

933
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 6: and are tols to fit potentially here For our Timmy Panerin,

934
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 6: I mean, my goodness, with how much he can put handle,

935
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 6: with the plays that he makes, I mean, the puck

936
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 6: comes off his stick like a howitzer. It's hard to

937
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 6: see how he wouldn't make this team even better by

938
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 6: installing him as a top line fit. The only questions

939
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 6: I think that would linger are once he shakes lewis

940
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 6: how much do you have to unload for him? And

941
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 6: then do the ends justify the means when it comes

942
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 6: to his salary. But I think on a deeper scale

943
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 6: this is where I'm also cautious, because I mean, sure

944
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 6: you would love to make the big swing for the

945
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 6: big move here, but you have to compare where the

946
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 6: Kraken are at in their window, then, say, versus other

947
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 6: contenders who have to win now. And I'm using Edmonton

948
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 6: for an example. I am using the Avalanche here as

949
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 6: an example. The Maple Leafs are now back into a

950
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 6: wildcard spot, so I think you have to use I

951
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 6: think a little bit of a of a judicious stance

952
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 6: with you want to make a run and get into

953
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 6: the playoffs. Yeah, that's fun, but how much is that

954
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 6: going to set you back long term? Because again we've

955
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 6: heard over and over and over GM Jason Bottle, despite

956
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 6: where this team is at, wants to see the young

957
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 6: kids keep improving as well.

958
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right on all points there, Mike.

959
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: I love Paneron, but he's thirty five years old. Do

960
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 3: I really want to give up a lot of prospects

961
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 3: and picks for a guy that maybe he's got two

962
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 3: or three years left in the league.

963
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 6: And also this cap it's also eleven mil.

964
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: Cap hits eleven mil. He's thirty five years old, and

965
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to. I don't want to disappoint a

966
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 3: lot of cracking fans, but Panaren is the guy that

967
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 3: you go out there when you're one piece away from

968
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 3: a cup, and you're right, the Cracking are very early

969
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 3: in that window. You're hoping it's going to be a nice, big,

970
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: bright window. But as of right now, Paneren's not the

971
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: guy that you're gonna take the swing at. I mean,

972
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 3: I look at like some top RFAs that you can

973
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 3: have some control over. Kracking have got what ten picks

974
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 3: in the first two rounds in the next three or

975
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 3: so air next two or three drafts, So I would

976
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: be I would be shocked if the Crack can pick

977
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: all those guys. You've got four depending on where Tampa finishes,

978
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 3: You've got four first rounders in the next two years

979
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 3: as well. I would be shocked if the Krack can

980
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 3: use all four of those. So you've got the assets,

981
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: you know. You know my thoughts on this. I think

982
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 3: there are a few untouchables in the organization in terms

983
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: of from a prospect standpoint, but you know, a lot

984
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 3: of other folks make me an offer. I think Jason's

985
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 3: willing to listen, but you're right, he's not gonna make

986
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: a home run swing now at the detriment of the

987
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 3: next four or five years.

988
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 6: And just to think, al al before I get this

989
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 6: over to you, my opinion is that. I mean, again, Karon,

990
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 6: what would be a great fit. Alex Tuck would be

991
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 6: a great fit. Ryan O'Reilly workable cap, But I think

992
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 6: that Trey gets a bit likely or just my opinion here,

993
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 6: if you can find a team to retain salary.

994
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's part of it.

995
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 8: I think that you know, to Everett's point, it's likely

996
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 8: a team that comes calling Seattle that is one piece away,

997
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 8: that says, hey, we'd be interested in one of your

998
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 8: top six, your top pairing defensemen, and here's what we're

999
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 8: willing to give up to get that person. That puts

1000
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 8: Seattle in a stronger position for making the playoffs this year,

1001
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 8: gives them an additional piece, but an additional piece that

1002
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 8: will pay off not for one or two years, but

1003
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 8: maybe for three to five years as this team continues

1004
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 8: to grow.

1005
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 5: I think that's more likely the outcome.

1006
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 6: Before we get onto our three stars the Crack, and

1007
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 6: again we'll face New Jersey tomorrow. They have been struggling

1008
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 6: to get back into the playoff picture and Sheldon Keith

1009
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 6: having to answer for a lot of more challenges than

1010
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 6: I think cessible situations here for this season. Then you

1011
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,399
Speaker 6: get Boston the Crack and handle them quite nicely last week,

1012
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 6: and then they just come right back and just unload

1013
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 6: scorched Earth tour style on the New York Rangers in

1014
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 6: that ten to two game last week. And then you

1015
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 6: got to go across country almost almost in a span

1016
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 6: of one day again and go face the Utah Mammoth

1017
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 6: and what will be late afternoon, a late afternoon game

1018
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 6: mountain time as well. So at the end of this

1019
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 6: you're looking at five games on the road here for

1020
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 6: this trip we talked about maybe I think the implications

1021
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 6: of where it puts this team in the playoff mix.

1022
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 6: But there are ten points right now on the table

1023
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 6: the Crack and are one and one right now on

1024
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 6: this trip. Do you call six points the bar? Do

1025
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 6: you call eight points the bar or a different number?

1026
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I call six points the minimum. I think there's

1027
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 8: no reason why, again we've seen this team kind of

1028
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 8: turn the corner on these back to back games. I

1029
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 8: see there's no reason why they couldn't pull out a

1030
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 8: against both New Jersey and Boston. I think the ghosts

1031
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 8: of Utah are hovering at the Delta Center, and I

1032
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 8: think the crack you need to find a way to

1033
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 8: push through that. But honestly, that could be the toughest

1034
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 8: of the three games. But I see six games as

1035
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 8: the low bar. I absolutely see a scenario where they

1036
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 8: could continue this into a four game heater.

1037
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 5: By the end of this road trip too.

1038
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'll want up. I'll go seven. For

1039
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 3: all those reasons that you said, right, I think that

1040
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 3: this team has been finding ways to get points, They've

1041
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 3: been finding ways to have success. So again, you go

1042
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 3: three one in one on this road trip, which I

1043
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: don't think is out of the realm of possibility. You

1044
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 3: start another heater. You got the one out of the

1045
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 3: way in Carolina. Luckily for Seattle. Your travel the next

1046
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 3: few days, is it going to be excuse me that bad?

1047
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 3: You've got the Devils coming up on Wednesday, and then

1048
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 3: it's an eight o'clock Eastern game on Thursday, so you

1049
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: have an extra hour in Boston to rest and recouper

1050
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 3: eight and and recover. Their emotions are gonna be high.

1051
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 3: Chara was a fan favorite there and help bring a

1052
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 3: cup there and and all of that, and and he

1053
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of emotions swirling in that building.

1054
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 3: So maybe the Cracking can use that distraction to their

1055
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 3: advantage early and then you're right. You know, Utah's been

1056
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 3: kind of the the bugaboo for Seattle. They've only played

1057
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 3: there twice, but they've lost both games that they've played there.

1058
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 3: You've got back to back Mattinees coming up with Saturday

1059
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 3: and then Monday back at home, so that throws a

1060
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 3: wrinkle into your preparation as well. But you know, I

1061
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 3: think there's no reason this team can't get seven. You know,

1062
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 3: I want to. I'm with you, Al, I think six

1063
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 3: should be the minimum, but I'm gonna challenge them to

1064
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: go seven.

1065
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 6: Let's get onto our three stars before we wrap this

1066
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 6: up here on Cracking Weekly, doing it from New York

1067
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 6: City and the Crack and again tomorrow and night into

1068
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 6: New Jersey again. That face off four pm Pacific, and

1069
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 6: it'll be the beginning of back to back the Boston

1070
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 6: Bruins awaiting a TD Garden only visit for the Kracken

1071
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 6: as well on Thursday, and then trip wrapping up on Saturday.

1072
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: Against the Utah Mammoth.

1073
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 6: I'll begin here with my third star, and that's going

1074
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,479
Speaker 6: to be Philip Grubauer. And we've seen over and over

1075
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 6: and over this platoon system is working and I think

1076
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 6: it's really feeding into what they can maximize out of

1077
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 6: Joey to coord and what the crack and can maximize

1078
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 6: as well out of Philip Groubauer. And there has been

1079
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 6: rare a goal I've seen this year thinking that he

1080
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 6: could have stopped that one. He'll want to have that

1081
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 6: one back and maybe the one I think one of the.

1082
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 1: Very very few was a Sam Carrat goal last night.

1083
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 6: But then you saw as this team titan matters up,

1084
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 6: Philip Grewbauer also Titan matters up. He wasn't having to

1085
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 6: make ten bell high danger as arda Ocal said, sound

1086
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 6: the alarm type of saves as we mentioned earlier as well,

1087
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 6: but Grubauer.

1088
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: Again found a way to get it done.

1089
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 6: And he is a big reason why stability and goal

1090
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 6: manners and a big reason why this team is now

1091
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 6: nine to one and two in the last twelve games

1092
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 6: and a serious team now in this playoff Knicks. Philip

1093
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 6: Grubauer is my third star. My second star is Maddy Beniers,

1094
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 6: who is on a heater right now, eleven points in

1095
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 6: eleven games after he factored in last night. He was

1096
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,479
Speaker 6: a face off star as well in that Ranger game. Guys,

1097
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 6: and this is where I think you really give him

1098
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 6: some unsung hero pats on the back. With Chandler Stephenson

1099
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 6: out of the mix, most reliable face off guy on

1100
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 6: the team north of fifty percent as well. But Baniers

1101
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 6: nine of seventeen against the Rangers and won an extremely

1102
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 6: crucial draw late in last night's game. The Kraken didn't

1103
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 6: win the faceoff battle against the Rangers, but Beaneers was

1104
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 6: fantastic in that kind of role. He had one assist

1105
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 6: plus two as well, had a couple of hits.

1106
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: Matty Baniers.

1107
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 6: You're seeing more and more about the leadership component of

1108
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 6: him continuing to grow. He's my second star. My first

1109
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 6: star is Berkeley Catton. Production is now picking up for him.

1110
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 6: Goals are coming in from all areas goal scorers, type

1111
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 6: of goal against Carolina and then got his hands dirty

1112
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 6: front of the net.

1113
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: Berkeley Catton is my first star.

1114
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 8: My third star is going to go to Jordan Everly,

1115
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 8: he had a goal in the Ranger game, and I

1116
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 8: just thought that after being out the game before, the

1117
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 8: combination of missing him for that game and then the

1118
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 8: effect he had coming back into that Ranger game was huge.

1119
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 5: He had a goal in the game this is the

1120
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 5: second goal of the game.

1121
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 8: Told him, and had the first one, but that's, you know,

1122
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 8: a part of that comeback that was necessary.

1123
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 5: Mounting that comeback. Big game for him.

1124
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 8: My second star, Matty Banier's two goals over the last

1125
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 8: few games. The highlight reel goal in the Carolina game.

1126
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 8: I've watched that probably ten times just to see, you know,

1127
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 8: how how he combined speed with elusiveness to beat Jacob

1128
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 8: Slavin between the legs and then a great move on on.

1129
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 5: Bussy uh To to get that goal.

1130
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 8: I thought it was huge so many but Ears is

1131
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 8: my second star, and then first stars I'm gonna give

1132
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 8: to Berkeley Caton. You know, he's he's broken out of

1133
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 8: that shell. He had the two goal game and then

1134
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 8: a couple more goals this week. He's he's starting to

1135
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 8: understand where he needs to be to affect offense in

1136
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 8: this game. There's there's lots of growth in this game

1137
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 8: to come, but he's definitely broken through and I look

1138
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 8: forward to talking about him on lots of future discussions

1139
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 8: between the three of us as one of the three stars.

1140
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, so for my three stars this week, Mike,

1141
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 3: you and I very very similar. I'm gonna go Berkeley

1142
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 3: Catton as my number three star. Four goals in his

1143
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 3: last four games, goals and back to back games, uh

1144
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 3: with with Hurricanes and the Rangers. And I think that again,

1145
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 3: we talk so much about his play as of late,

1146
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 3: the confidence that he has, the swagger that he's bringing,

1147
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 3: you know, he he is turning into that that bona

1148
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 3: fide superstar that Seattle has been much maligned for not having.

1149
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: Right he's he's turning into that guy. So it's been

1150
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 3: it's been awesome to see I think my number two star,

1151
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 3: Matt Eveniers. I mean, he's on a five game heater

1152
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: right now. He's got goals in two of his last

1153
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 3: three games, had a big assist against the Rangers as well,

1154
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 3: and again the two way game, the defensive game that

1155
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 3: we talked so much about first half of the year,

1156
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 3: and I even was like, I need more goals from you, Maddy.

1157
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,919
Speaker 3: Well he shut me up because he's got three goals

1158
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 3: in his last five games, including a pretty nice shootout

1159
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 3: winner earlier in the month as well. So once again

1160
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 3: he's we're seeing the offense come around. So thank you

1161
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 3: Maddy for making me eat my words and and my hat.

1162
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 5: I appreciate that.

1163
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 3: And then number one Philly, I mean, I gotta go groovy.

1164
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 3: He has been lights out solid for this team. An

1165
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 3: unfortunate deflection goal off his skate against the Rangers the

1166
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 3: other day, and then he comes back and shuts New

1167
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 3: York down in the second and third period this season

1168
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 3: for him, playoff groovy. We talked so much about it, right,

1169
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 3: we're getting back to what we saw in that magical

1170
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 3: second season, and I think if this team is going

1171
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 3: to go places, it's going to be on the back

1172
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 3: of goaltending. Ley Lambert has heaped all the praise on

1173
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 3: to Collins Zulianello and Phil Grubauer. Joey de Cord have

1174
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 3: been at the top of their game for the bulk

1175
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 3: of this season, and if this team's gonna keep rolling,

1176
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna need their goaltending. So Grubauer, give me the

1177
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 3: number one star this week.

1178
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 6: All right, crack it again tomorrow night into New Jersey.

1179
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: We are at the Rock.
