Speaker 2: Shane Jangles on the way in, but Winnipeg got the

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: look they wanted and from that familiar duo, Kyle Connor

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,680

73
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: night for Winnipeg overall for Connor, number thirty seven. The

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: Jets have scored three unanswered goals to lead this one

75
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: three to one. Ft picked up by Cocko leading one

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: had to McCann one man to beat McCann into the

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Zonies goals. Jaron McCann using the screen by the mess

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,880

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,799

Speaker 2: McCann on the season picks up number nineteen, the Crackinger

81
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: back in the game, trailing Winnipeg three to two.

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: Well, it was Coppocaco that picked up that puck just

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: inside the crack of blue line, got us head up

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 3: and found McCann down that left side. Instead of going

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: hard down the left wing, McCann gets the blue line,

86
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: cuts to the middle and as you said, uses that

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: screen to get his shot off. He's got nineteen in

88
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: the season. Now for number nineteen. This game is three

89
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: to two.

90
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: Riphly throw to high sand burteen whate up save us

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: made by the court, buck Is loose, scramble toward the crease.

92
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: Louise again Connor couldn't get there, no a second chance.

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: Connery scores. Kyle Connor's second goal of the game, finished

94
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: inside lap circle for forty one to go in period three,

95
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: as Winnipeg coming on top on that battle and they

96
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: take their biggest lead this evening at five too well,

97
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: the Krakens showing promise, but Winnipeg's runs and their power

98
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: play too much to overcome. Last night, the Kraken falling

99
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: six to two to the Winnipeg Jets, as Winnipeg salvaging

100
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: one win out of three tries against the Kraken in

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: the head to head series. Jordan Everlely got his twenty

102
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: fifth goal of the season back in period one. Jared

103
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: McCann also with now nineteen in just his forty ninth game,

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: putting him on pace for a thirty one goal season

105
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: over the course of an eighty two game schedule. Of course,

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 2: he has missed time this year due to injury. After

107
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: the game, here's more reaction from McCann in Winnipeg.

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of a lot of games

109
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: this year, we've kind of haven't been able to kill

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: off and we lose a lot of moments something. You know,

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: it's it's tough because I know where guys are trying

112
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: and where guys are trying to block shots and do

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: the right things, and you know, I can't give you

114
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: a reason why you know that's not going our way,

115
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 4: but you know it's, uh, it's frustrating for everybody. We

116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: all see it. We're we're trying to stay positive and

117
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 4: grind throat.

118
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: How did you think how you guys started that game,

119
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: like back in October when anything, they.

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 4: Had hardly any shots, right, Yeah, I felt like we

121
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 4: controlled a lot of the play in the first period

122
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: and I had a lot of good, good looks and

123
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: you know, especially that for our fourth line, there was

124
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: was creating a lot of offense for us in the

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: A zone and working them down low. So you know,

126
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: obviously we're we're all pretty frustrated with the way things

127
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: have gotten the last nothing of bet here, and but

128
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: you know, we're we're gonna stay together. We're gonna stay

129
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: as team.

130
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 2: To what extent do you.

131
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 5: Feel like you guys played within your structure tonight. It's

132
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: kind of a big theme that we have heard it

133
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: this morning.

134
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, shots to the net. You know, when when things

135
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 4: aren't going well, you try to simplify, you know, keep

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: it simple and get pucks the naked bodies in front

137
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: and create traffic, make a hard hard to see them

138
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: and kind of get a greasy one.

139
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 2: So cracking penalty kill going through a tough night, giving

140
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: up a three for three effort to Winnipeg on the

141
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: power play as they got goals on the Manavanda jeach

142
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: from Jonathan Taves, Gabriel Villardi, and Kyle Connor. Freddie Goodrou

143
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: will be back in Minnesota for the first time since

144
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: leaving the Wild to Seattle via trade this last offseason,

145
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: and he shared more on the penalty kill from last

146
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: night's game way and the factor a bad balance is

147
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: versus execution.

148
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 6: I think when things are going right, you feel like

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 6: everybody's connected and on the same page. I think it's

150
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 6: a question of confidence too, when you're just thinking about

151
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 6: killing it instead of being on your heels like trying

152
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 6: for them to score. It's two different mentality. Once they scored. Once,

153
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 6: you know, maybe it's tougher to get back in that

154
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 6: mentality after, but we got to find a way. It's

155
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 6: I think that's the mindset is just go out there

156
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 6: and be proud to kill the play.

157
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,239
Speaker 7: And didn't do that. To know, you mentioned the mindset.

158
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 7: The guys came in pretty determined. It looked like this

159
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 7: morning in practice, and then you know, the game started

160
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 7: off very well for you guys. You limited them in shots.

161
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 7: I mean, where where do you Where do you go

162
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 7: from here? Now that it's.

163
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 6: About it's about the culture. You know, it's you gotta

164
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter where you're at, it's uh, you just

165
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 6: gotta keep you know, going with your identity and uh.

166
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 6: The most important part for me is to to stick together,

167
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 6: be together doing it as a as a united team.

168
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 6: And we are that. You know, this group cares about

169
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 6: each other and that's the most important thing is to

170
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: keep fighting for it doesn't matter if standings are tougher

171
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 6: and stuff like that, doesn't matter. You just got to

172
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 6: keep doing the right things and do it for each other.

173
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: Here's where special teams made an impact. Winnipeg got their

174
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 2: first three goals via the man advantage, taking a three

175
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: to one lead by twelve oh nine a period two.

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: Five on five the Crack and held them off the

177
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: board all the way until the five fifty nine mark

178
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: a period three, whereas the Kraken scored both their goals

179
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: at even strained courtesy Jordan Eberley and Jared mccamm. But

180
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: of course, special teams a big part of it, and

181
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 2: not just for the Crack and penalty kill side. They

182
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: failed to even draw a penalty at all for the

183
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: entire game on Monday night. And here's reaction from Cracking

184
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: head coach Lane Lambert, including the goaltending situation where Philip

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: Grubauer left midway did an injury for Joey to cord I.

186
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 5: Thought, five on five without first period was one of

187
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: our best periods we've had in a while, you know.

188
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 5: And then you know, we we took a couple of penalties,

189
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: We got a couple of bad breaks, you know, going

190
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 5: it off lingern stick, it's Lingard's foot goes right to Vallardi.

191
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 5: You know, just kind of a little bit of anything

192
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 5: gang go wrong will go wrong in that, you know,

193
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 5: in this situation right now. I didn't think we were

194
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: great in the second period. Uh you know, five on

195
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 5: five as much as we were in the first. We

196
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 5: gave up too many chances in the second and third period.

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: But uh, you know we the special teams hurt us

198
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 5: tonight when.

199
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 7: Things are going good. For your penalty kill, I mean,

200
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 7: what does that look like for not that.

201
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: You know, I thought, uh, it looks like a more commitment.

202
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 5: I thought we could have had at least tried to

203
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: get a shot block on their first goal that went

204
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: off the end wall, and I mean there's a balance

205
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: coming over top of the net, you know, like I said,

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 5: just we're not getting the brakes. But you make your

207
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: own breaks too, you know. I thought our structure was

208
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: okay on their second goal. Again we don't make a play.

209
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: And the third goal, our structure was alright on that

210
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 5: one as well, and it goes off Lingering and in

211
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 5: the net. So you know, these are just these are

212
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: just things that are are happening right now, and you

213
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: know we've got to we've got to stop the bleeding.

214
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 5: You know, it's about for me, it's about pride right now.

215
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 7: Our came out of the game and it looked like

216
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 7: he was shaking up with what what update? Do you

217
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 7: have any any update?

218
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 5: What did you think about how cal Fleury and Vinceton

219
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 5: looked together? I thought, you know, I thought, uh, Fleur

220
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: played okay. I thought he started a little bit slow

221
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 5: and got better as a game went on, which is

222
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: what I expect, you know, from a guy who hasn't

223
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: played for a little bit. So I thought they were fine.

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: Mars and Riker Evans.

225
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 5: I thought that was good too. I you know, I

226
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: like Rikers game these days. I think he's competing and hard.

227
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: I think he's skate. I think he's moving fox. I

228
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: think we're seeing some good strides from a young Riker Evans.

229
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe, in a little bit more of a

230
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: personal note, your nephew Brad is seemingly developed into what

231
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: looks like an everyday nahl ort and a shot tonight

232
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: for a bowle.

233
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: What have you seen from him?

234
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's uh, you know, he's worked on

235
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 5: his game. He works on his game. You know, he's

236
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 5: got skill, he's got vision, you know. Obviously, you know,

237
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 5: we gave him a little too much base there to

238
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 5: take a shot tonight, and he made he made good

239
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 5: on it. Turning the page to tomorrow. Obviously, the guy's

240
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 5: just right back at it here. What needs to rebound

241
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 5: in the team's game, Well, we have to be ready

242
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 5: to play. It's back to back. We're gonna have to

243
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 5: be better on our special teams. And then when I

244
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: say special teams pending, Okay, we didn't get a power

245
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 5: play tonight, which is outrageous that you know, one power

246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 5: playing the game, but we didn't. We have to find

247
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 5: a way to dig in. And you know, like I

248
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 5: said right now, you know, we have an ownership that

249
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: gives us everything that we need. We have a fan

250
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 5: base that is behind us all the way, you know,

251
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 5: through good and bad, you know, and we have to

252
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: find a way to you know, be professionals here and

253
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 5: show up and play to the best of our abilities,

254
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 5: no excuses. And that's about personal.

255
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: Pres So what does a wait and see situation on

256
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: grow Bauer with the crack and carrying three goaltenders on

257
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: this trip Joey to court finishing Monday Night's game, giving

258
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: up two goals on twelve shots after grew Bauer had

259
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: fifteen saves on eighteen shots. Matt Murray is also a

260
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: backup option on the Kraken side, and should he play

261
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: in this evening's game, it would be his first time

262
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: in net since the fifteenth of November against San Jose,

263
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: and Murray looking to make his sixth appearance. For his

264
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: next time in net for this regular season against Minnesota,

265
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: the Kraken looking to salvage one win out of three

266
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: tries against the Wild again. This is their only trip

267
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: into the Twin Cities for this regular season. As Minnesota

268
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: trying to fight for home ice advantage in the opening

269
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and looking very much

270
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: like that it will be a first round matchup coming

271
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: their way against the Dallas Stars, the only question is

272
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: who's gonna have home ice advantage. Dallas right now owning

273
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: a two point edge over Minnesota for second place in

274
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: the Central Division, they are just two points apart. This

275
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: matchup heavily favors Minnesota as a Krack and aiming for

276
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: their fifth win in fifteen tries against Minnesota, They are

277
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: looking to snap a four game winless skit against the

278
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: Wild and earn their first win in Minnesota since October

279
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: twelfth of twenty twenty four, when the krack In adds

280
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: the Wild in a five four shootout victory. Among those

281
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: to watch out four, Ryan Hartman's got points in six

282
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: consecutive games, ten points in that span. Carill caprisod points

283
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: also in four straight games. He's got seven points in

284
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: that span, and he leads a Wild right now with

285
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: eighty seven points and forty three goals. Matt Boldy second

286
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: behind him in the goal scoring department with forty one.

287
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: And also, by the way, there's Quinn Hughes that you

288
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: got to deal with seventy four points in seventy one

289
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: games that tied for fourth in scoring right now amongst

290
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: all NHL defensemen. Can this be the point throw where

291
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: the krack and get back on the winning path with

292
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: six games left in the regular season. We'll talk more

293
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,000
