1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: Difficult this year. Just put the trade deadline being on 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: our Friday, right, it had a big impact on just 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: being able to get documents in on the weekend. As 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, government offices aren't open on the weekend from 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: that standpoint, so it delays the process. Obviously, wor Klow 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: and government agencies aren't always at the top right now. 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: It's so it's it's a waiting game from that bit. 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: We you know, we certainly have people that we try 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: to help out with try to move this process along 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. You do see some teams having 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: some Canadians already playing, but you know they've had a 12 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: history of playing the United States, so they have their 13 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: green card or permanent residence card, or you know they 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: have a citizenship already. So this was a unique scenario 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: having a Canadian who hasn't worked in the States at 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: well before. So you have to go through the process. 17 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: And as much as we're working as hard as n 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit of overhands. 19 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: Welcome to Kraken this morning, a presentation of the krak 20 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: And Audio Network and Sports Radio ninety three point three 21 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: kJ r FM. 22 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: Here's Mike bet those words you just heard were from 23 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 3: Krack and GM Jason Botteroll leading off this drop of 24 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: kracken this morning and on the pending arrival of Bobby 25 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 3: McMahon officially into the Cracking lineup that of course held 26 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 3: up due to immigration clearance. 27 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 4: Mcman of course is in Seattle in practice, but the 28 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 4: waiting game is still going on right now.

Definitely, goaltender Matt Murray also 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 4: off by r plus the waiting game here with Bobby McMahon, 62 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 4: and also we'll catch up with Ford Ryan Winterton coming 63 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 4: off a contract extension and ingraining himself right now deeper 64 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 4: into the fourth line with Ben Myers and Jacob Alanson. 65 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 4: Ryan Winterton also coming up here. In just a fitch, 66 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 4: the Kraken fell forward two to the Nashville Predators in 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: the game that they could have really used for two points, 68 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 4: leading it to nothing, but Nashville came back with four 69 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: unanswered goals. The crack and two nothing lead after period 70 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: one went up in smoke on goals by Nashville's Tyson jost, 71 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: Reid Schaeffer, Ryan upgo first of his NHL career, and 72 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: then Steven Stanco stacking on a third period empty net 73 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: gold nagating Matt Eveniers's effort two thirds of the way 74 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 4: to a Gordy House hat trick. He had a goal 75 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: and a fight as well. Stick it up for Jered 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 4: mccannon who got a hit by Justin Barron in the 77 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 4: numbers back in the third period, and also cot Bolcaco's 78 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 4: game opening goal. Now the Cracken process that here's that 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: coach lane Lamber beating with the media after practice on Wednesday. 80 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 5: You know, it's really a shame we didn't win the 81 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 5: hockey game. I thought we had certainly enough chances we 82 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 5: have chanced them. You know, I thought their goaltender played well. 83 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 5: I didn't think our goaltender played poorly, you know, but 84 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 5: we gave them goals. You know, there's for sure too 85 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 5: that he didn't have a chance on because it was 86 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 5: empty nets. You know, so right now when we break down, 87 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 5: it's sort of catastrophic. I guess you could say in 88 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 5: terms of that, we just got to be better in 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 5: that area. But we certainly played well enough to win. 90 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 5: And you know, even though they you know, they scored 91 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 5: their goals in the second period, we had plenty of chances. 92 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 5: We really did told in rate in the slot. You know, 93 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 5: Chandler pass stopping the crease probably has a tap in. 94 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 5: You know, there was some opportunities for us to win 95 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 5: that hockey game, for sure. 96 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 6: On the breakdowns, is that like our guys in the 97 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 6: right spot like systematically, or is it just a more 98 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 6: of an execution thing, you know what I mean, Like 99 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 6: are people going to the wrong place and making mental 100 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 6: mistakes or is it just. 101 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 5: It's a bit of both. Sometimes, yeah, it's a good question. 102 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 5: Sometimes we're we're making a mental mistake and getting in 103 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 5: the wrong spot. And a lot of times where you 104 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 5: know we're in the right spot, you know, and things 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 5: are just happening where you know, pucks are getting through 106 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 5: or whatever. But you know, we've had some some breakdowns. 107 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: My issue right now is I don't think we're standing 108 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 5: around too much in the defensive zone. We've got to 109 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: go eliminate. I've talked about it all year long. I've 110 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 5: talked about it recently, you know, and uh, you get 111 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 5: into this situation when you get on your heels and 112 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 5: you're not on your toes and now you're you know, 113 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: you're not able to separate them from the puck. And 114 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 5: it's going to be critical tomorrow night against Colorado that 115 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 5: we create some separation in our defensive zone. 116 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 4: That's parked too much on the comment last night, but 117 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 4: it was interesting who's saying that we you know, it's 118 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 4: been a. 119 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 6: Few years since our teams to come back here. 120 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, said you know. 121 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 4: That you'd be mentally tougher. Sure, but what like is 122 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 4: it kind of like getta act like you've been there before, 123 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: you know, if you if you act like a playoff team, 124 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 4: you are a playoff team. 125 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 5: Like what do you Well, it's partially that, yeah, for sure, 126 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 5: you know, get a swagger. Uh. You know, again, we've 127 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 5: had a really you know, we've had another substandard stretch here. Uh, 128 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 5: you know, but we wake up today and we're we're 129 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 5: in the playoffs. We control our own destiny and uh, 130 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 5: you know, the mindset of understanding that and the mindset 131 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 5: of going out and doing that, you know, it has 132 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 5: to be there at this time of the year. And 133 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 5: what I meant last night was we have some young 134 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 5: players that haven't been here before, and so you know 135 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: that's a learned process for them, and the game ramps up, 136 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 5: there's no ifs, hands or butts about it. So you know, 137 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 5: they're in that sort of first time experienced situation to 138 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 5: a certain degree, and our veteran guys need to help 139 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 5: him out. It's nice not to have to ask you 140 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: for a memory update. But what has his off lgi R? 141 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 7: What has he been able to. 142 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 4: Kind of do for your team in the months that 143 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: he's been just practice thing? 144 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 5: Well, he's a veteran guy. Obviously, he's won Stanley Cups. 145 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 5: You know, as a starting goaltender. So I've leaned on 146 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 5: him over the course of the last couple of months 147 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 5: when he's been hurt, just to get a feel for 148 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 5: what his thoughts are in certain situations. He's a very 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 5: intelligent guy, veteran guy, a winner, you know, so he's 150 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 5: really helped and I think he's helped his team makes 151 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 5: that way too, and certainly he's helped the goaltenders. You know, 152 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 5: it's nice to see him get activated and we'll see 153 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 5: what happens. 154 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: You mean, you like, go over and ask for his 155 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: observations on. 156 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 6: I know, the update on Jane Shorts just out and 157 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 6: definitely obviously his injury was concerning for fans that might 158 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 6: be worried about his status. There anything more that he 159 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 6: could shares and how he's doing in general. 160 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 5: Well, he's on you know, he's on the road to recovery. Obviously. 161 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 5: You know it's going to take some time, you know, 162 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: but he will and you know, thank goodness for that. 163 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 5: I was probably from me to you away when it 164 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: happened a little farther, I guess, but the impact of it, 165 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 5: the noise of it, the fact that the skate you know, 166 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 5: hit him flat as opposed to you know, potentially the 167 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 5: other way was, uh, you know, we're all real thankful 168 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 5: for that. 169 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 6: And then by McMahon looks like he was kind of 170 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 6: cycling in on the fourth line today.
