1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, We're back with cracking head coach Lane, Lambert Lane.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: You go four and two on that homestand wrap up

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: that homestand for us, what do you feel went right

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: for your group and getting those four wins?

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Well, I thought we start We didn't start it great.

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: You know, we came off of a long road trip.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: I didn't love the start time of that Pittsburgh game,

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: having come off of the road trip, and you can

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: never use those things for excuses, but time changes and

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: all that, and we just weren't sharp, you know, and

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: then played a pretty good game against the Islanders. And

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: then obviously I wasn't happy with our Anaheim game, And

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: I give our guys credit. The last three games, I

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: thought we were dialed in better, you know. I thought

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: our goaltending was good, and I thought we took advantage

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: of opportunities and we scored some goals.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: I was gonna say going into that, you know, you've

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: won four of your last five games. What has gone

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: right in this recent stretch of games that maybe you

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: weren't seeing in the seven or eight games prior to that.

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: I think, you know, we've done a better five on

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: five of keeping the puck out of our net. We

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: didn't give up a lot five on five, a lot

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 3: of goals five on five, certainly in the last four games.

25
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's a very important piece of the puzzle

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: for any team, you know, And I just think that,

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: you know, from our commitment standpoint and the fact that

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: we were in our structure, I thought we were better

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: for the most part than we were on that road trip.

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: Although you know, I wasn't unhappy with the Ranger game.

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 3: I thought Boston when we lost, I thought we played

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: maybe our best game of the year.

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: I still think that. So, you know, you just never know,

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: right like it's there's a goal here or a goal there,

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: or a play here or play there that make the difference.

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: And that's what was happening to us on the road trip,

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: the Boston game and even the Utah game when we

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: were tied with five minutes left.

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: We found out this morning Berkeley cat and will not

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: play on this road trip with an upper body injury.

41
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Just starting to find his stride and scoring more often.

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: What are you going to miss these next three games

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: without him in the lineup? And who are you looking

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: at stepping up in that role?

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: Well, I think that he you know, he provided Chandler

46
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: with some speed on the wing, and Chandler is a

47
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: great skater. I think Berkeley almost forced Chandler to skate

48
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: even more and that was nice to see, you know.

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: So we'll miss that, will miss his playmaking ability obviously,

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: you know, and we have to step up. We'll shuffle

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: our lines around. Ty Krci I'll come back into a

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: lineup provide us with his element, which is physicality, which

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: isn't a bad thing here over the next three games

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: against big hockey teams, they're all.

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: Big and looking at Vegas, I mean, they've struggled in

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: recent games, but at the end of the day, they're

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: still Vegas. They still lead the division. What are the

58
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: crack cand going to have to overcome here tonight? What

59
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: do they present?

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, they're just a solid team from top to bottom.

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: Good defensively, you know they're underlying numbers and expected and

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: all that are good. You know, they can score clearly,

63
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: the plays good at fifth in the league, or penalty

64
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: kill is good at tenth in the league. And they've

65
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: got you know, they've got world class players. When you

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: look at Mitch Marner, I coached them. I watch them

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: Toronto definitely misses them, and Vegas is reaping the rewards

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: of him. And you add, you know, Keel to the mix,

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: and Stone and Hurtle and big hockey team, big hockey

70
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: team that goes to the Nethart, We're going to be

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: in for a war tonight, especially around the paint.

72
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Every game in this league is important, But when you

73
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: look at the schedule coming up, you've got three games

74
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: in division, all four point swings, all against teams that

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: either are above you or that are battling you for

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: a playoff spot. Do you put any more significance on

77
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: these next three games, especially going into a much needed break.

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we know the magnitude of the games,

79
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: but we prepare for each game the same way, whether

80
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: it's like I say, the Toronto maple leafs or the

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Vegas goal the nights. So you know, at the end

82
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: of the day, we prepare our utmost for every game.

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: Nothing changes, you know, the magnitude of the outcome is

84
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: the one thing that does change. So you know, we're

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: looking to finish off this stretch here and this three

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: dame road trip. We're looking to take it one period

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: at a time, one shift at a time, and that's

88
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: all we can do
