Almost kind 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: of feels bizarre to have so much time off now, 71 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: with practices, days off, Thanksgiving, everything, But that's the beauty 72 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: of the NHL season. Ebs and flows He and Farnessa 73 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: is also ready here for this one and ready for 74 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving TV hosts of Chorus, Crack and Hockey Network. One 75 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: of three here on these airwaves ninety three three kJ 76 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: RFM mayor Hello, you're right here for Thanksgiving. 77 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: Quote. I'm pretty close, how about you. 78 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: I'm close from the fact that I have the food 79 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: planned out, which I guess you know. You know me, 80 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: I tend to be wired to gravitate toward food, so 81 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: I've got that all mapped out here. The only concern 82 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 2: is because I've got I've got two kids who were 83 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: growing up. Just basically make sure they behave and also 84 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: stay out of the pantry. 85 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 5: I love it, love it. Yeah, I got it, I 86 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 5: got my I got my shopping done. Brian in the 87 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 5: Turkey right now, the whole nine yards. So yeah, we're 88 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 5: ready to rock and all that. Yeah, absolutely, that's gonna 89 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 5: be a lot of fun. 90 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: Well, let's get this game going here as a nice 91 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: precursor for Thanksgiving, and I'll just kind of hit refreshed 92 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: on a few things that we talked about on Cracking Weekly, 93 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: but would love your input. And I think, first off, 94 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: when you measure the bar from the road trip this 95 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 2: last week Detroit and then the two wins at Chicago 96 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh, and then I mean, you're scraping bottom of 97 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: the barrel for the back to back and you hold 98 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: the Islanders to nothing through sixty five minutes, but it 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 2: ends up in a one nothing shootout loss. You get 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: five points out of eight off the table. How did 101 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: that meet your bar from this past four game road trip? 102 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 5: Fly? It was a good trip. I mean two, one, one, 103 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 5: five of eight in terms of points, only one regulation loss, 104 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 5: A couple of wins. You had to do it the 105 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 5: hard way, dramatic fashion, all those things. But yeah, man, 106 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 5: I thought it was It was a good trip. I 107 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 5: don't think you can ever you come back from a 108 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 5: road trip above five hundred. I think you're in pretty 109 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 5: good shape and you know, you know, hopefully this team 110 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: will get some guys back. I mean, scoring still an issue. Defensively, 111 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 5: they've been fantastic and you know, for being honest, they've 112 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 5: they've stolen some games this season in goal like there's 113 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 5: no doubt, like they they got goalied by Katy to Smith, 114 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: who I asson will see tonight for Dallas and Sauers 115 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 5: going on against Edmonston. But I you know, for the 116 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 5: most part since Seattle doing that to a lot of 117 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 5: other teams, giving them the old goalie treatment. And Joey 118 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 5: and Krubauer played great. Murray when he was in there, 119 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 5: and they stole some points with those guys, so they 120 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 5: need to start helping them out at the other end offensively. 121 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 5: But you have to feel good about a road trip 122 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 5: when you come back above that five hundred. Bark. 123 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: I'll get to the offense in a bit, and I 124 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: think shot volume kind of goes hand in hand with this, 125 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 2: and we asked Lane Lambert about this after practice the 126 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: other day when they got back at crack In Community 127 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: ice Plex. But I wanted to touch on and we 128 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 2: had a very very spirited and it kind of reached 129 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 2: here to the point maybe admittedly of even fiery about 130 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: the usage of the word boring when it comes to 131 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: describing a hockey team and a team that also has 132 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: been destined. And they have set it from the very 133 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: very top of this from this season to play within 134 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: a certain sound defensive structure and to suppressed shots, being 135 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: that they feel it is the best chance here to victory. 136 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: I get it that they don't score a lot of goals. 137 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: I get it that they have been trailing in a 138 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: lot of very important metrics under the hood. And you 139 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: touched on this as well too. They've had us to 140 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: heal some games. 141 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 5: Now. 142 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: I really kind of give credit here to a guy, 143 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: a friend of ours named Ryan Clark of ESPN, who 144 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: pointed this out the other day five on five. Guess 145 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: who's got the best team say percentage in the National 146 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: Hockey League none other than the Seattle Kraken at nine 147 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: to three seven, barely above Minnesota at nine to three. 148 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: Three as of this recording, and trailing them the New 149 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: York Rangers, the Dallas Stars, the Colorado Avalanche, and the 150 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: Washington Capitals as well. How do you define this team 151 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: through the twenty five percent checkpoint of the season? 152 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: Ian, Well, if you described it, well, great goaltending so 153 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 5: far and uh and then defensively and the defensive structure 154 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 5: has been so solid it it's allowed them to stay 155 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 5: in games. You know, they We've talked about it, You've 156 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 5: talked about it with everybody else on these podcasts. It 157 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: doesn't matter about you know, like they don't have the 158 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 5: aircraft carry offensive guy, they don't have a I mean 159 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 5: certainly they don't have a forty plus goal scorer on 160 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 5: their roster right now, not in terms of the canal 161 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 5: for a good chunk of the year. 162 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: And I will add to this here as well too, 163 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: because I mean again, winning does not mean boring. Winning 164 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: means excitement. And I can't go back and help myself. 165 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: But remember after the winning is Pittsburgh, how many fans 166 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: came up to us at thirty two Bar and Grill 167 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: and said, I'm having so much fun watching this team. 168 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, winning's funny. Well, winning's fun, you know, winning's fun 169 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 5: and they you know, like I said, they don't have 170 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 5: that guy too. They don't have that guy that's going 171 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 5: to score at an elite raid or guy is Quirl. 172 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: So they're going to have to do it by committee, 173 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 5: and they're going to have to play great defense and 174 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 5: prevent the other team from scoring. I mean, as we 175 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 5: stand right now, they're number two in the league goals 176 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 5: against per game, five behind only the juggernaut that is Colorado. 177 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 5: So you know, the printing problem is there. Twenty nine 178 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 5: is scoring goals per game. But but you know, I 179 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 5: think what Lane did is he went in there and yeah, 180 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 5: Lane's got a system that he goes by and it's 181 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 5: very structured what he does. And it's a smart play 182 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 5: because without having that high end of week offensive talent, 183 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 5: then how do you find a way to stay in 184 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 5: every game and win. Well, you do it. What he's 185 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 5: doing it play great defense, play great you're on end, 186 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 5: you know, prevent other opportunities, and then see what you 187 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 5: can do, you know, offensively and on the power play. 188 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 5: And that's what they've done and is so far it's 189 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 5: worked well. I mean, he plays Every game is close, 190 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 5: with one exception. Every game's tight. You know, they they're 191 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 5: rarely really out of it again with one exception, and 192 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 5: you know, as long as they can avoid the damn shootouts, 193 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 5: they'll even better. Right. 194 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: We we into this in deep detail about just how 195 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: valuable the shootout is. Do we even like the idea 196 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: here for the future and friends, you want to go 197 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 2: ahead and check that out deep dive Cracking wheatly also 198 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 2: up on the iHeartRadio app. But it also kind of 199 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: goes hand in hand here. I think with what you 200 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: mentioned the lack of an aircraft carrier, and I think 201 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: with changing the mindset of how they have to generate offense. 202 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 2: And Lane Lambert went into this after practice more about 203 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: shot volume and with what he's trying to do to 204 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: help this team pull the trigger a little bit more. 205 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: Here's Lane Lambert. 206 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 6: You know what that's You know, they're not wrong in 207 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 6: some of those situations either, But at the end of 208 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 6: the day, there's also the there's also the philosophy that 209 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 6: shots create shots in terms of rebounds, and you know 210 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 6: there's a chances, B chances see chances and C chances 211 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 6: or C shots can create an a chance off a rebounds, 212 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 6: So you know it's there's there's certainly a balancer. Sometimes 213 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 6: you take a sea shot and it is turnover. But 214 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 6: at the end of the day, you know, you can't 215 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 6: score if you don't shoot the pucket. 216 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: The context of this question was framed that some players 217 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: came up in systems and this has kind of been 218 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: more prevalent over the last five ten years, where you 219 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: almost had to look for a perfect shot because if 220 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: you don't a shot on goal basically maybe no better 221 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: than your average turnover. But now Lane Lambert is encouraging 222 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: guys to shoot, shoot and shoot more. So what do 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: you make out of this now at this point of 224 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: the season, Ian Oh. 225 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 5: I think what he said is one hundred percent accurate. 226 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 5: The last in league and shots on goal for games, 227 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 5: so I mean you're thirty second in the league. That 228 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 5: it's just you have to generate more offense and you know, 229 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 5: traffic in front of the net. I mean, how many 230 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: times do we see just on this road trip, when 231 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 5: traffic in front of the net height shots, deflections off, 232 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 5: you know, a double deflection for and again, to be 233 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 5: honest with you, and puck goes into the back and 234 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 5: then they're going back in the net. Des bye, you know, 235 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 5: playing it around the perimator and playing you know, in 236 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 5: the passing game on the outside and playing like a 237 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 5: three man league or something that the puck's not going 238 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 5: to go in. It has to get to the net. 239 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 5: And and I think it'll get to the net. I 240 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 5: think we'll see that, you know, more and more of 241 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 5: than you know. They give a can back and get 242 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 5: compo coco back. I think that'll help. But they just 243 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 5: have to shoot the puck one. I mean, I think 244 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 5: you see it all the time. You see guys trying 245 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 5: to make the extra pass as you know, thinking about 246 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 5: that too much. I love what Lane said. I love 247 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 5: that's the message, because yeah, shoot the pucks, big rebound 248 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 5: bang in a second chance opportunity. The way you go. 249 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 5: I think they are looking from the perfect shot all 250 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 5: too often, and we've seen that and so hopefully they 251 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 5: can change that that that mindset, so we'll see it. 252 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: Almost kind of feels like we've been waiting on pins 253 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: and needles her last several days for Jared McCann and 254 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: finally a day that he'll be back here into the lineup, 255 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 2: and it seems maybe as if practice told us a 256 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: lot with him in a regular jersey taking line rushes 257 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: with Berkeley Catton and Shane Wright as well. But once 258 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: he gets back to you, what are healthy expectations for 259 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: McCann once he is back to the final. 260 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 5: You know, Mike, I he's the best goal scorer, so 261 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 5: I think, you know, I think it's nothing else. He 262 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 5: makes somebody else run him better, Like he just raises 263 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 5: the boat, right, So I think with him in the lineup, 264 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 5: they get their better, they're a better hockey team. He 265 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 5: can obviously score at a higher rate. And as you know, 266 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 5: I mean just he's just a good finisher, you know, 267 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 5: and I think he'll make, you know, depending on where 268 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 5: he's playing. I mean, I know the line rushes were 269 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 5: interesting on on Tuesday for sure, but depending where he's playing, 270 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 5: I mean, we know he's got chemistry with every lead 271 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 5: before and Beneer's and whomever. So I'm excited to see 272 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 5: him play. I'm excited to see him be in there. 273 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 5: And they frankly need him, to be honest with you, 274 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 5: they really do need him. They he's a big part 275 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 5: of their team. And you know, again without having you know, 276 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 5: they don't have Nathan McKinnon and Connor McDavid whatever, But 277 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 5: you know, he's as important to the crack and as 278 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 5: those guys that I just mentioned art of their teams, 279 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 5: they have to get him in there. And I think 280 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 5: once he does come back, I think it will elevate 281 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 5: the whole thing. 282 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: This is one idea that we've run across before, just 283 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 2: kind of an off air conversations and something that to 284 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: our dear colleague and friend, Andrews Furst would be just 285 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: completely giddy about and like it's basically a Christmas present 286 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: coming early here where you go with a three four 287 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: to two defenseman set up here for the power play, 288 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: which then bumps Brandon Ontur up to the top unit. 289 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: Different conversation there, but in theory then maybe for the 290 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: second unit that would open up something for Ryker Evans 291 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: to operate more. And I lead into this from what 292 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: I just mentioned here. Ryker Evans since he came back, 293 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: first nine games, he's got six points now, pretty solid. 294 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: And we've been talking a lot about Vince Dunn and 295 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: his impact, Brandon Ontour and his impact offensively. But what 296 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: do you make so far out of Ryker Evans because 297 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: he's been getting a lot more ice time, especially the 298 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: last few games here. 299 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 5: Well, I, first of all, I think you know the 300 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 5: two defensemen. I think we all been kind of pounting 301 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 5: the drums and saying, please let that happen, just to 302 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 5: get done in Montour out there. I know that there's 303 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 5: maybe you know, with so who comes off at that point? Right, 304 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 5: is it march Men? Probably trust to think PP one 305 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 5: who'd come up? Yeah? 306 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, so so practice wise PP one you had 307 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 2: done at the point. Then spread across Stevenson ever Lee McCann, 308 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: then Veneer's front of the net. 309 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 5: Well that's PP one. See, I don't think they're going 310 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 5: to go to defenseman because PP two is what is it? Montour? 311 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: You got Monsur on the point, then across you got 312 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: march Mint right Tolnan, and then Jayden Swartz front of 313 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: the net. 314 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think you're going to I don't think 315 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 5: you're going to go too defensemen. I just don't. You know, 316 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 5: here's the thing. It's nice to have Ryker Evans as 317 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 5: a young guy who's your third one if you need 318 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 5: to or at the end of a power play put 319 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 5: him out there or like we've seen this, guys don't 320 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 5: stay healthy. I mean, Ryker will get his opportunities, but 321 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: I I yea his offensive game is flourished. He's always 322 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 5: got a little meat to a mean street. He plays hard, 323 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 5: he plays with an edge. But the offense is coming 324 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 5: to which is good to see, and they need it 325 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 5: because this is a team that, as you know, if 326 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 5: they don't generate offense from the blue line, they're not 327 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 5: gonna win. It's just as simple as that. 328 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 4: Uh. 329 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 5: And they've always been near the last couple three years, 330 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 5: different coaches, that's the same thing. They've been near the 331 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 5: top of the league in terms of scoring from defenseman 332 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 5: that has That is not changing obviously with the years 333 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 5: that done and Montour and as you mentioned, Riker are 334 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 5: having with Rykers getting back in the lineup, and you know, 335 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 5: guys like Jimmy Lexiak chipping stuff in as well. Uh No, 336 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 5: I think they're I think they're fine with what they got. 337 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: We've seen Dallas already once and we talked with Mason 338 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: Marchman where it has a bit of a different feel 339 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 2: compared to his first trip out there against the Stars. 340 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: But you're always looking to beat the team that traded you, 341 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: and we can maybe kind of bank on that for 342 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: a bit of a bit of an emotional boost here. 343 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: But it leads into a pretty interesting slate of games 344 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 2: from now all the way until Christmas, Dallas set Home, 345 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 2: Edmund Road, including two straight games Detroit at home, the 346 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: Wild at home, the Kings at home, Utah on the road, 347 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: Buffalo who's playing better at home? The ten thousand pounds 348 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 2: juggernaut called the Colorado Avalanche at home, and then four 349 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 2: games on the road Calgary, San Jose, Anaheim and the Kings, 350 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: and boom, You're at the holiday break scale of one 351 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 2: to tenian. How critical is this next wretch of games 352 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: to define the Craken season? 353 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 5: Pretty massive. I'm still waiting to see when the easy 354 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 5: part of the schedule comes. When does that come? Like 355 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 5: men right right, like they don't get a break along 356 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 5: the way, Like if they you know, how many games 357 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 5: is that you just listened off? 358 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 2: Thirteen seven at home, six on the road. 359 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 5: So if you go, like, let's just for argue and 360 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 5: say they go seven and six, eighteen and eleven at 361 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 5: the break, you'll take that, right, Yeah, for sure? I 362 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 5: mean just I mean they built up a a nice 363 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 5: little cushion. I mean, six teams above five hundred. They 364 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 5: built up that nice cushion that allows them to play 365 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 5: some five hundred hockey for a while and and you know, 366 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 5: but I don't think they'll play five hundred hockey. If 367 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 5: they get m Cam back, I think they'll they'll be 368 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 5: better than that, you know. And we were just starting 369 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 5: to see Coppocock. We'll get a sea legs before he 370 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 5: got hurt that last game, scores a goal twelve seconds later, 371 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 5: He's done. Need him out there, and then you know, 372 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 5: we'll see what the young guys do. I would assume 373 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 5: if those guys come back, Berkeley's going to go to 374 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 5: World Juniors and probably get some confidence doing that. I 375 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 5: have a letter on his jersey and you know, for 376 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 5: Team Canada, which is big, and see what happens with him. 377 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 5: But I think, as you're going through all that stuff, Mikey, 378 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 5: I think if they just go a little bit above 379 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 5: five hundred and the next stretch before Christas break, that's 380 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 5: a that's a heck of a way to go. 381 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 2: And I'll let you go here with this because this 382 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 2: was a great male bag question. We didn't have enough 383 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 2: time to get to here for the other day, but 384 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: it was posed to us. You know, from this standpoint 385 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 2: where Berkeley Catton, it seems as if as made this 386 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: team full time. Now, So what is the point with 387 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 2: sending him to World Juniors. Well, you've seen this before. 388 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 2: I've seen this before. When you're going to play at 389 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: an international level to the point where you could be 390 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: one of their rock stars on that team letter on 391 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: your jersey as a leader, and you're facing your peer 392 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: group potentially pick him up more offense on top of that, 393 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: that's a valuable time. You're coming back with all of 394 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: a sudden in the middle of January. 395 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's why, that's why you go. And 396 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 5: then here's the thing that part of the two is 397 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 5: it if mc can's back, uh, and if Coppo cock 398 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 5: goes back, well then you've got then you've got stuff 399 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 5: with then you get not issues. But then you obviously 400 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 5: ice time starts to become more limited, right yep. As 401 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 5: as it is, Johny Newman is having a hard time 402 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 5: getting the lineup. You know, they got Mulgard up here 403 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 5: right now and and all those things. So what do 404 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 5: you do? You know, like you you ice time will 405 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 5: be limited as long as they're healthy. If they're healthy, 406 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 5: gets pushed down. You don't want him playing on a 407 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 5: fourth line. And so I think that that's part of 408 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 5: what that's part of what comes into play. I know 409 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 5: that it's talking to the Brad Lauer, that Spokane coach 410 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 5: who's on the Team Canada staff for World Juniors this year, 411 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 5: like they're not sure, Like they've got no guarantees the 412 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 5: person who's coming to the World Juniors. So like that 413 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 5: decision hasn't I don't want to say it hasn't been made, 414 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 5: but it at least it has not been articulated to 415 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: Team Kennedy, at least the coaches that whether or not 416 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 5: it's a sure thing he's going, there's a chance that 417 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 5: he does, say, but I think that depends on health. 418 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 5: If they're healthy. I think for sure he goes, and 419 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 5: I think it helped him. I think it'd be a 420 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 5: good it'd be good for him as well. 421 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: We can always depend on your health. And as far 422 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: as my health for Thanksgiving, my waistline might not as 423 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 2: be as so healthy at about this time coming up 424 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: here on Thursday, but I can easily cross my fingers 425 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 2: my friend though, have a great show and have a 426 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: happy Thanksgiving as well too. 427 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: Thank you man, you too, my friend.
