1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Lane. Pretty big announcement yesterday, Ron Francis partying

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: ways with the organization and just wanted to get your

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on what has been a very interesting and for

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: a lot of folks, difficult last twenty four hours for Seattle.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, always always difficult to see when something

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: like that happens, and certainly from a guy who you know,

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: built the organization from the ground up, and we're talking

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: everything from locker room design to you know, practice rink

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: design to logo to everything, and you know, his stamp

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: is certainly on the organization and will remain on in

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: the organization forever, you know. And for me, I look

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: at when something like this happens to somebody in hockey operations,

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: you know, and it's maybe not the coaching staff that

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: it happens too. As a coaching staff, you have to

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: sit there looking and realize, you know, and understand what

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: part you play in it. And you know, and the

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: same with the players. So there certainly is a sense

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: of responsibility for what happened from our from our end,

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: and you know, we're disappointed in ourselves right now, you know,

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: and certainly disappointed that someone's life has to change like that.

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Everly said as much this morning. And you know,

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: Todd did address the locker room. Obviously, what happens in

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the room stays in the room, but what was the feeling,

24
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: what was the message? What can you share about that

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: that conversation.

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: I just think that we you know, we talked about

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: our responsibility in that and what that looks like. And

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: you know, this is as much an understanding moment as

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: much as a teaching moment too, for some of our

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: younger players that are coming in here that really don't

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: even think about the business of hockey and how people's

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: lives do get affected by, you know, lack of performance,

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: and it's always good to have some understanding of that.

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: You know.

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: I was in this league at nineteen years old, just

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: like Berkeley Caton, and you know, if someone or if

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: there was a change in management, you know, went home

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: and didn't even think about it, probably, you know, and

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I want to make sure that they understand that this

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: is there's always a former responsibility on the on the players,

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 2: on the ice and the coaching staff.

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: Well, now we turn our attention to Vegas here tonight,

43
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: and as you put it this morning, there's not that

44
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: e next to the Krakens name. So this game tonight

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: still means a lot. What do you need to see

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: from your group tonight that you haven't seen in the

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: last handful of games.

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: We just have to be more consistent. We're playing pockets

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: of hockey games where we're playing really well and then

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: you know, we'll make a mistake here, a mistake there,

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: and it ends up in the back of our net.

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: And you know, I talk about the frustration level that

53
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: I have watching it happen on certain situations that I

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: don't believe it should happen. Uh, And that's you know,

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: that's on us, that's on the coaching room to get

56
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: more out of these guys, and it's also on them

57
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: to perform their professionals. Uh. You know, we need a

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: we need a professional effort, effort, we need a consistent effort,

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: and we need to play for you know, play for

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: our fans.
