Speaker 2: Kraken looking to bounce back from a loss in regulation,

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 2: but they took Carolina down to the wire and all

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: things considered, kept this close when fatigue could have been

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,280

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,240

Speaker 3: Well.

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: The Kraken, entering game one of a five game road trip,

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: faced quite the challenge. It was only just two days

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: prior they played a home game and then face a

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: day of travel west coast to east coast and facing

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: a Hurricane's team that had come off two days rest,

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: and the Kraken certainly felt the effects, going down one

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: nothing early on on a goal by Logan stankovin three

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: minutes and twenty three seconds into the game. After that,

37
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: the Kraken took over with their budding top line center

38
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: aiming for the highlight reels.

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 4: Touch the call left side overtaken by Maddy Veneers.

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: But hears what a move down the slot scors maddieveniers

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 5: On dresses the Hurricane defender coming over the line, walks

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: down the slot, tucks it by Bussy.

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 6: We're tied one to one.

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 7: Oh, it just makes a sick move right at the

45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 7: blue line on the cane defenseman outside in between the legs,

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 7: and then beats Kin's goaltend or Bussy down low. This

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 7: game's tied at one. Somebody call it ESPN. That's gonna

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 7: be on the highlight. Reels cal flurry through center, hands

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 7: it up to Ryan Lingren. This fuck scents off the wall.

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 7: Bussy turns it over down the slot.

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 6: Berkley Catton scoress.

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 5: Berkley Catton has given the Kraken a two to one lead.

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 5: Bussy misplayed the butt and Seattle capitalizes.

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 6: Winterton to Caton two to one.

55
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 7: Seattle, well, it's winter that it jumps on that puck

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 7: in the court of the minute that Bussy misplays great,

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 7: we'd read by Winterton. He turns up byce Fines, finds

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 7: Canton in the high slought. Catton receives a great pass

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 7: from him on the forehead right between the hashts glove

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 7: side down load.

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 6: Capton's got his third of the year. Two to one.

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: Cracking now Jarvis back in, hands it off, Slavin throws

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: it download Slaven Androtlet's score.

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 6: Turn it stall in front of the goal back to

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 6: Jacob Slavin back to back for the Canes.

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: They lead three to two, and after all that adventure,

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: it was Carolina prevailing over the crack in three to

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: at Lenovo Center. Despite the efforts from Joey to Cord

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: and Ned who turned in thirty one saves on thirty

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: four shots. Randon Bussy back down the other way, wasn't

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: as busy, but effective enough for the win with ten

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: saves on twelve shots. Berkeley Catton as well, picking up

73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: his third goal in three games since breaking through for

74
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: his first career NHL goal. After the game, here's a

75
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: reaction from crackinghead coach Lamberts.

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 8: I mean, it was a hard fought game. You know,

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 8: they're very good in this building. Uh, you know, they're

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 8: very good at squelching opportunities. I thought when we did

79
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 8: have some chances, we uh failed on them, whether it

80
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 8: be got them blocked or missed the net, you know,

81
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 8: because there were there were enough for us. I thought

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 8: our goalie played well. And when you carry a to

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 8: one lead, you know into the last ten minutes of

84
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 8: the third period, you have to find a way to

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 8: get points. And you know we have been lately and

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 8: and we weren't before that. So we just have to

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 8: pick ourselves up here and get ready for the next one.

88
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: What did you think of that?

89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 8: Even hears his game, I thought he was really good.

90
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 8: You know, obviously scored a nice goal, but I thought

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 8: he was responsible all night long. I thought he battled

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 8: hard down a low in our zone, and I thought

93
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 8: he transported the book. Well, I bought Jayden Schwartz getting

94
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 8: back into the next Yeah, it's good to see him back.

95
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 8: I think he gives our team to boost and you

96
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 8: know that veteran leadership. So I thought he played pretty

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 8: good for his first game in a while.

98
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 6: Lan after the well, for you guys did six minutes

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 6: a minute there?

100
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 9: Did you feel like the guys were growing as hard

101
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 9: as you want him to and playing not just pretty

102
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 9: defensive web tiding taking their camps seasons?

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 8: Well, I thought we after they scored their second goal,

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 8: I thought, you know, and I thought maybe even after

105
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 8: we scored our second goal. I guess that's your question,

106
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 8: isn't it. You know, I didn't think I didn't think

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 8: we were aggressive enough. Carton scores Again.

108
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 9: You mentioned when he started scoring, maybe it would be

109
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 9: a bunch his must have liked to play that widchard

110
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 9: they had as well.

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 8: Winterton played great tonight. I thought, I thought it was

112
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 8: one of our best players, you know, all night long,

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 8: using his speed, creating some opportunities and made a real

114
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 8: nice play to Berkeley.

115
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: That's a halfway point of the season.

116
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: There are plenty of surprises right now with the Western

117
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: and the Eastern Conference, with the playoff mixed till very

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: much ways away from settling and self right now. Yet

119
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: the Kraken trying to rebound for the previous two seasons

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: out of the playoff mix now on the head coach

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: Lane Lambert and still very much in that mix right

122
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: now after going eight one and two in the last

123
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: eleven games heading into this matchup against the Rangers at

124
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden.

125
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, past the halfway point.

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: There's time here to reflect on what's been built so

127
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: far and also how much coaching makes a difference with that.

128
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: Here's a conversation Ian Ferness had with Crack and CEO

129
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Todd LEIWICKI.

130
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 10: Let's talk about this hockey team that is sitting right

131
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 10: in your first place, and it wasn't that long ago.

132
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 10: Three weeks ago, this team was on the verge of

133
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 10: being out of the playoffs. In a lot of ways,

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 10: what's going on.

135
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 4: Well, I think there's good chemistry in that locker room.

136
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: You know, we might not have a quote unquote superstar

137
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 4: on this team, but we have heart and the players

138
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 4: like playing together. And I was just down in the

139
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: locker room and it's amazing. I never get tired of

140
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: hanging out with the players. But you know, Jordan Everley's

141
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: in a pair of shorts and walking around holding a

142
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: hockey stick.

143
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: There's the day off of them, by the way.

144
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, he loves it.

145
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's walking around, he was holding his stick, and

146
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: you know Grooby's down there. And if you want to

147
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: learn about never giving up, his career took him all

148
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: the way down to Coachella Valley. He was the finalist

149
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: for the VESNA, but the year before he came here,

150
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: he was fundamental to the incredible run year two. But

151
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: he hit some rough patch there.

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 6: But he never gave up and.

153
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: He never lost the faith ultimately in himself. And since

154
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: November he has I think the best goals against average

155
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: in the NHL, and it's really amazing. And when you

156
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: have two goalies, we're actually carrying three, but those two

157
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: guys specifically playing that, well, that's how you win. Games,

158
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: and Joey Decord has played outstanding against you know, Boston.

159
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: He made some big, big saves. But you know, I

160
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: went up to that game in Vancouver and you know

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: he played great there. Grooby and Calgary. It's uh, it's

162
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: really fantastic and fun to watch, and it's why I've

163
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: loved sports all these years.

164
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 10: Todd LIGHTWICKI with us on our Daily power Play and

165
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 10: we're gonna actually we'll play some of this today. We'll

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 10: have some more daily power Play to more with Todd,

167
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 10: But I want to get to you and I had

168
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 10: a couple I think one of the first conversations I

169
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 10: ever had with you when you were at Seahawks and

170
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 10: I was critical on the air after Jim Morri got

171
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 10: let go after one year. You came up to me

172
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 10: and I told this story in the air. Number of

173
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 10: times you came up to me in city and you

174
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 10: know why you were in You were in the press

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 10: conference the little mar I think there's times you got

176
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 10: to make a tough decision to change. You did that

177
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 10: the last couple of years with two other coaches. You

178
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 10: brought Lane Lambert in coaching. Makes a difference. We see

179
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 10: that across the lake at your old employer with the Seahawks,

180
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 10: with Mike McDonald coaching makes a difference. What did you

181
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 10: guys see in Lane Lambert? Because there's no doubt he

182
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 10: has made a difference this year.

183
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's you know, and you don't really know until

184
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: you get into the trench with someone, and that's hard.

185
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 4: And you know, I must admit that I WinCE when

186
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: I hear about, you know, our first coach leaving, our

187
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: second coach who took us in, you know, Dan Bilsman,

188
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: coach Hella Valley. Two years to the finals, there's thirty

189
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: two teams and it's everybody as competitive as any league

190
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: in the world, and so that was hard. But you know,

191
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 4: then we looked around and there was Lane Lambert, who

192
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 4: had been a part of winning programs. He was the

193
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 4: associate head coach in Toronto, and he just sort of

194
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 4: stood out as a guy who knew what the pieces

195
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: were to win and the approach he was going to take.

196
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: And you know, our media guy said, the locker room

197
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: last night was post game was as good as any

198
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: any locker room they'd ever been in in our world.

199
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: And so I think he's done a good job and

200
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: I think that you know, there's still work to be done.

201
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 4: Played by the Way last night with arguably what some

202
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: people think are two best players. You know, Jaden Schwartz

203
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: was out and I saw many down his hands rapped.

204
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 4: He's been out skating and I'm telling him, don't shoot, man,

205
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: don't shoot, and it's so tempting for him. But you know,

206
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: it's it's why people love it is because sometimes players

207
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: do things that no one thinks they can. And I

208
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: go back to Groopy. A lot of people thought his

209
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 4: days might be over. And you know, they say of

210
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: the hummingbird that everyone knows, you know, all the scientists

211
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: and physicists know that the humming bird can't fly. It's

212
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 4: winging masks is not large enough to support its body weight.

213
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: Everyone knows that, but the humming bird. And I've always

214
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: thought of like, you know, if you have in your

215
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 4: mind you can do something, anything is possible. And I

216
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: think that sports, and let's talk a little bit about

217
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 4: the Seahawks. Yeah, you know, the Mariners. There's a lot

218
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: of winning that's happening in this town. And this town

219
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 4: is is I think the greatest sports market in our

220
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 4: country and arguably the greatest sports market in the world,

221
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: per capita. No one has a better sports market.

222
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 6: Than we have.

223
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: And when you look at what the Mariners did and

224
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 4: how they've rebuilt that and you know they're GM Jerry,

225
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: we don't have a bigger fan. He is just an

226
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 4: incredible supporter. But you know, John Stanton a year ago

227
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: has taking a lot of heat, and boy, that team

228
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: and they're built and they're going to be good for

229
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: a long time to come. John Schneider reinventing that, the

230
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: ownership having the belief in John that he'd do it,

231
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: and they didn't rebuild on the fly. Look what happened.

232
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 4: And I'm here to tell you they're going to the

233
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 4: big game because I just think they have it going.

234
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: They're hitting at the right time and you know, and

235
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: what they did this past weekend was incredible. The score

236
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: should have been even greater than what it was, but

237
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: they want into the other guy's building and that game

238
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: was even more important for San Francis then, and it

239
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 4: was just fantastic. And if you look at that roster

240
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: top to bottom, they've got everyone playing with passion and

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: purpose and it's an incredible thing. And the players are

242
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: proud to pull that jersey up.

243
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 2: All right, Gray stuff for me in big thanks to

244
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: Todd as well for joining our airwaves that conversation by

245
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: the Way podcast and in full on the Ian Fornest Show,

246
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: also via the iHeartRadio app as a crack and now

247
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: getting sets for this second matchup of two against the

248
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: Rangers and looking to split the series after the Rangers

249
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: beat them by a nose hair three to two in

250
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: overtime back at Climbing Pledge Arena on November one, and

251
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: without question, your big story of the night is going

252
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: to revolve around these two former Rangers coming back in

253
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: now as part of the visiting side.

254
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 7: You're ev its sing toe across Janny Duman now who

255
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 7: evitts down.

256
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 6: The slot shot tip scoress.

257
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 5: A shot from Riker Evans redirected in by go.

258
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 9: I feel I just got a chance over here. I

259
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 9: mean I can't say I didn't get it before, but

260
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 9: I mean I played with Maddie. We kind of pretty fast.

261
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 9: We knew each other pretty well and then kind of

262
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 9: know what what we're going to do on the ice,

263
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 9: and I feel he knows what I can do and

264
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 9: I know what he can do. Also, there was Swarts.

265
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 9: He was a lot with us, and I feel we

266
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 9: had a pretty good line and some very good games.

267
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 9: But I mean, I feel we kind of all of

268
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 9: us knew what we should do out there, and then

269
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 9: you know, I was in the corner store behind the net,

270
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 9: close to the net, doing my things, and then I mean,

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 9: like I said, it's just all new what what we

272
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 9: should do?

273
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 6: Left circle say shut stood?

274
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: Ryan Langrid from the left circle may have deflected in

275
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 5: with the seattle cracking back on top.

276
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 6: It's a three two cracking lead.

277
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 7: Well, if this goes down as Lingeran's goal, it'll be

278
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 7: his first of the season. It was a great shot

279
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 7: by him as he waited for the screen going to

280
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 7: the front of the net. I believe it was Tolven

281
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 7: and heading towards the front. It may have gone off

282
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 7: of him. We're having a look here. It didn't redirect,

283
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 7: but it could have gone off of a sharp player

284
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 7: as well.

285
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: January twelfth on the calendar, a return to Madison Square Garden.

286
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: How much are you circling that date? Yeah, I'm definitely

287
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: looking forward to it.

288
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 7: You know, obviously we got you know, a lot of

289
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 7: games before then, but that's definitely one I'm excited for.

290
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, it'll be cool playing in there again.

291
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: No shortage of motivation for defenseman Ryan Lindgren and winger

292
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: Coppo Kaco, who will make their first appearance at Madison

293
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: Square Garden since they left the Rangers. Len Grand, of course,

294
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: traded from the Rangers to Colorado last March in a

295
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: four player deal. He then signed with the Kraken as

296
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: a free agent on July one. Coppo Coco coming directly

297
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: to Seattle from the Rangers, of course, and last season

298
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: trade back in the eighteenth of December, the two combining

299
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: for twelve seasons in the Big Apple in Rangers Jersey,

300
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: so certainly an emotional return coming no matter how you

301
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: slice it here, and the Kraken trying to rally around

302
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: that in this second of two matchups on the campaign.

303
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: On the other side, of course, the Rangers have a

304
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: couple of former Kraken players, though they have seen them

305
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: in prior matchups in Carson Susi and Will Borgan. But

306
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: the Rangers right now are smarting a bit after coming

307
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: off a ten to two thumping on the wrong side

308
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: to the Boston Bruins back on Saturday afternoon.

309
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: They had one point led one nothing in this game.

310
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: Jonathan Quick started but then was yanked after allowing six

311
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: goals on twenty shots, Spencer Martin coming in to back

312
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: come up. He gave up four goals on fourteen shots

313
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: as Morant Husnadinov and Pavel Zaka each picked up patricks,
