Speaker 4: shove to throw excuse me to McDavid.

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,720

Speaker 7: Four fine block shots and a goal.

108
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,039

110
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,719

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,080

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 4: right in the blue line. They cough it up, not anybody.

121
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: Heers finds it right at center. Rice sweeps enough to

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 4: every every goes blocker side top shelf, free one cracking.

123
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: Today's taking here.

124
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 5: To get back to game action finement.

125
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's progressing, obviously, and he was in some drills today,

126
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 8: so that was nice to see, you know, and we'll

127
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 8: just see where we go from here. He's still day

128
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 8: to day, but certainly as it has been for the

129
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 8: last little bit, encouraging that he's on the ice and

130
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 8: back in practice. For sure.

131
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 3: You've been through kind of the gauntlet of six games,

132
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: ten days on the road back home. Now, I mean,

133
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: what benefit is there now to have a bit of

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: a lighter's schedule this week to do what you want

135
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: to do in practice?

136
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 8: Now, Well, we haven't had a lot of practice time

137
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 8: because we have been on the road and we have played,

138
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 8: you know, pretty much every second day, you know, with

139
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 8: the back to back in there, but you know, you

140
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 8: get a little bit more opportunity to work on a

141
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 8: couple of things that you need to work on, So

142
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 8: that's the benefit of it, you know, And then a

143
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 8: little bit of rest.

144
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: You know.

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 8: The interesting thing with that is is there's a balance

146
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 8: between rest and rhythm. And when you get playing every

147
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 8: second night, you get into a bit of a rhythm.

148
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 8: So you have to understand that there's a a rest component,

149
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 8: but you have to keep your rhythm.

150
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: How do you keep that rhythm up? Then during the.

151
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 8: Practice practice, Yeah, you got to have intensity in practice

152
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 8: and some pace and things like that. So, uh, you know,

153
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 8: do some things five on five in practice like we

154
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 8: were doing today.

155
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: You just faced Montreal pretty recently. Again, what did you.

156
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: Learn from that game, both with your team and the

157
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: other team, what you can kind of do differently?

158
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean there's a few things potentially that

159
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 8: we can make, you know, make little adjustments to. I

160
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 8: thought the game itself, for the most part, was was

161
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 8: a good hockey game. I thought it was well played

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 8: by both teams. They're a fast team and you know,

163
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 8: they they're in first place obviously in their division. You know,

164
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 8: they're I think six there's something in goals for per game,

165
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 8: so they're scoring goals. They've got a lot of skill

166
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 8: and a lot of speed.

167
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: Uh.

168
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: You know.

169
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 8: Obviously they've got some dynamic defenseman as well. So they're

170
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 8: they're a very very challenging hockey team for anybody, and

171
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 8: they're proving that right now being in first place.

172
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: When you talked a little bit about Vince in those

173
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 5: game last game, what are the elements of his play

174
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 5: that you find so valuable to this group.

175
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 8: Well, he's got a he's got a super super smart

176
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 8: with the puck. Uh, he can make plays. He has

177
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 8: the ability to escape, you know, four checks on his

178
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 8: own to a certain degree and then and then make

179
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: a play.

180
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: You know.

181
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 8: So he's a good puck mover, and he's a he

182
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 8: can be a physical element, a physical presence.

183
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: You know.

184
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 8: When I started watching a lot of them in the summer,

185
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 8: I was very impressed with with that side of his game.

186
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 8: I think he's played very well for us.

187
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 5: Is Jared mccannon progressing in all or is he kind

188
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 5: of just element.

189
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 8: He's right now He's in a little bit of a

190
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 8: holding pattern, So we'll see where we go with him.

191
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 8: You know there should be we should know more here

192
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 8: day to day as we go forward.

193
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: All right, Coppo Coco could be close. We'll wait and see,

194
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: Jared mccannon right now. Still maybe a work in progress,

195
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: as Lane Lambert said in a holding pattern right now.

196
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: That's Lane Lambert after practice Monday, plus your highlights from

197
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: what was a busy week, the crack and losing back

198
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: to back of Philadelphia and Washington and what a way

199
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: to bounce back at Winnipeg and Edmonton. So here we are,

200
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: game two of the fine game homestand upon us tomorrow

201
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: night income the Montreal Canadians and then series is over.

202
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: We haven't even hit Halloween yet, and this is going

203
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: to be a series all done, Mike Benton, ever it

204
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: fits you, al Kiniski. Our whole round table back together

205
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: again now for Crack and Weinkly Pillaus. It was my

206
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: first round up with all of you. And what I

207
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: want to first ask before we get into the hockey

208
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: component here of this is what do we learn from

209
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: our favorites on the road. I think for me, when

210
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: it comes to eating in Philadelphia, one lunch, one she

211
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: steak might mean two meals.

212
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, we listen I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you, Mike,

213
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: like it is. It is such a joy to have

214
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 5: you on the road hanging out with us, you know,

215
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: and I mean it you worn't so hard, and like

216
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 5: obviously we each have our own jobs and we you know,

217
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 5: we we know what we signed up for. But for

218
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 5: you to be able to get these you know, drop ins,

219
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 5: these parachute moments on the road, Like, I know it

220
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 5: means a lot for you, but it means a lot

221
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: to me to be able to have you on the

222
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: road and you know, welcome you in our world for

223
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: a little bit. But I mean as far as as

224
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: far as on the road, if it's if it's a

225
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 5: nice honk of meat and a nice glass of red

226
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 5: wine or a nice bourbon or old fashion and my

227
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 5: partner Al, that's all I need. I'm happy.

228
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kind of the same way Mike checked all

229
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 4: the things that ever just said. But I think also,

230
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes on the road it's about convenience too.

231
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: You're you're figuring out how much time you have, you know,

232
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: between a morning skate and a bus and how much

233
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: time you need for work, and sometimes it's convenient to

234
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: you at the hotel, and some of the hotels have

235
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: better food than others. But you know, I'm always down

236
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: with finding a place with a delicious steak and a

237
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: bourbon a glass of wine.

238
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 3: When we got the time, what's the most important thing

239
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: for breakfast? Are you guys just more on the train

240
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: of hey, load up right now? Are you gonna go

241
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: as light as you can for breakfast?

242
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 5: I'm the worst for breakfast, man, Listen, give me a

243
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: give me a Starbucks sandwich and a cup of coffee

244
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 5: and a banana that'll hold me over.

245
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was you who ordered the fruit loops

246
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: over at the five star restaurant.

247
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 5: Though, honestly man like, So I look at a guy

248
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: like John Foreslyn and jt Right, they're up at the

249
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 5: crack of dawn working out getting a breakfast, hearty, hearty

250
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 5: meal to start the day. Nah, brother, we have a

251
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 5: ten fifteen bus text NOL nine to forty five lobby.

252
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: You want a coffee? Great?

253
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: And I get a sandwich and a banana that I

00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 5: picked up from the night before. And yeah, I'll see

255
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 5: you at lunch at noon. I'm good.

256
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: I've got the Angel and the devil on my shoulders.

257
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: The devil is like, you know what, there's a delicious

258
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: buffet breakfast downstairs and at you know, eight am or

259
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 4: eggs benedict here are really good. And then there's the

260
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 4: angel going, you're not even hungry. You ate stayed for

261
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: dinner last night. Why don't you fast until noon or one?

262
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 4: You big loser?

263
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 5: Listen, it's the NHL. The NHL does not stand for

264
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,359
Speaker 5: National Hockey League. It stands for never hungry league exactly.

265
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 7: Yeah.

266
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I fight the battle because I love breakfast,

267
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: but I also need to space out the eating because

268
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: as ever it says there's never a shortage of food.

269
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: I think I had the avocado toast last trip for breakfast.

270
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 3: So me being born in nineteen eighty one, there was

271
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: a millennial joke in there somewhere that when it comes

272
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: to house leasing as well. But hey, let's just sive

273
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: into it here. First off, guys, it was a pleasure

274
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: and an honor to be with you on the road

275
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: and I can't wait here for the next round up.

276
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: And I think that you're pining here to buy the

277
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: next round of beverages here, and I'll certainly be happy

278
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: here to do that as well. What we learned from

279
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: last week after a loss of Philadelphia. To me, it

280
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: was about I think they were due for a clunker

281
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 3: one of these days. Loss at Washington unfortunately do for

282
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: a clunker as well, and then you bounce back against

283
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: Winnipeg in the fashion that they do it. And then

284
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: you come in first game into the home stand, no

285
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: dipping your toe into the water. You had to hang

286
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: on a bit, but you found a way to win.

287
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: How many times have we said in the last year

288
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: two years, the Kraken found a way to win.

289
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, I think we've talked a

290
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 4: lot about, at least in the last season, about the

291
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 4: closing games out in the crack and just not having

292
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: the ability to do it so many times. And you know,

293
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: they scored a lot of goals in the third period

294
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: making efforts to get back into games last season, But

295
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: I don't think you know there were as many times,

296
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: certainly not over the first ten games where the Kraken

297
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: scored the first goal of the game. What is it,

298
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: seven of the of the of the first nine score

299
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 4: in the first goal of the game, holding on to

300
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: a lead in the third period. It's a very different

301
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: feeling now in that last twenty minutes than it was

302
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: last year. So to me, that's one of the biggest differences.

303
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I have no problem with a clunker,

304
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: with ann clunker every now and again. It's when you

305
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: string together two, three, four, five plunkers that you start

306
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: to question things. But the Philly game, you know, I

307
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 5: loved when Laying came out and said I didn't like it.

308
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: You know, I wasn't happy with the performance. We weren't

309
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: good enough. And then I even tried to soften it

310
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 5: a little bit and I gave them an out and

311
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 5: I said, hey, did the schedule back to back? You

312
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 5: don't have it, you have injuries, YadA, YadA, YadA, does

313
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: that all does the situation play? And he goes, I

314
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 5: don't care, like we're supposed to win, and that just

315
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 5: it felt so good to hear him say that, and

316
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 5: I think it was the bounce back for me. You

317
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: go into Philadelphia, Joey de Koor gets or Washington rather,

318
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 5: Joey de Koor gets pulled for the first time that

319
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 5: I can remember. He's got a goals against over three

320
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 5: and a say percentage under nine, and he said, well

321
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 5: enough of that. And he comes back with back to

322
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 5: back games a shutout and arguably the toughest building to

323
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: play in in the NHL over the last year and

324
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 5: a half. And then you come home and you you know,

325
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 5: I said it on the post game show, I'm gonna

326
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 5: give darn Ol Nurse half a goal because it was

327
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 5: tipped in Joey had it. But then you know, you

328
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 5: beat the Oilers back to back for the first time ever,

329
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: just your fourth win all time against Edmonton. So I mean,

330
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 5: it was about as close to a perfect week as

331
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 5: you're gonna get. And I'm not putting too much stock

332
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 5: into the Philadelphia and the Washington games because the bounce

333
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 5: back for them was so good.

334
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would add on to that too. Not only

335
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: was the bounce back so good, but I think the

336
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 4: lesson in that week to the players was we cannot

337
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: play at a moderate level because they will lose. We

338
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: need to play at this top level. Not no mistakes.

339
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: No one could play a perfect game, but you know,

340
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: they've got to play the structure that Leane Lambert has

341
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: put out there, and if they don't, if they take

342
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: a shift off here and there, you're going to see

343
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: a Philadelphia or a Washington game. So better to get

344
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: that lesson early in the season rather than later in

345
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: the season when you're fighting maybe for a playoff spot.

346
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: Now that were forty eight hours past this here and

347
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: we can have this win, digest it a little bit more.

348
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: I can go back and think of three, maybe even

349
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: four plays that made a massive difference with me and

350
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: your question maybe was there enough to pull through with

351
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: it last year on that same level, I think for me,

352
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: number one was the Vince Dunn hit on Connor McDavid

353
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: and then boom, you go right back down Icen's score immediately.

354
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: There is no better way to inject a jolt into

355
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: a building than that kind of sequence. Then I think

356
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 3: the Joey to Cord save right before the horn to

357
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: end the period. Then I go back and think the

358
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: otherworldly shift that Ty Cartier, Ryan Winterton, etc. Had and

359
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: fits you nailed the goal call. I think right hook

360
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: line sinker. As far as what that shift meant to me,

361
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: it's right now club asslead for shift of the year.

362
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: Then I go and think of what Lane Lambert did

363
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: situation three by putting his veterans out, mixing his lineup

364
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: up in just an incredible coaching decision to put Schwartz

365
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: Benier's every they withstand the fire, go right back down,

366
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 3: make it three to one. That was your dagger. And

367
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: then despite the Oilers making it three to two, this

368
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: to me defines lane Lambert hockey right into the muck

369
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: of it. Then's done, lays down blocks of shot, game over.

370
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 3: First guy over Joey to court about bear hugs him.

371
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, he jumped in front of a bullet there at

372
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: the end. That was an assassination coming towards Joey to

373
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 4: court and he jumped in front of a bullet and

374
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: the first guy to go top him on the head

375
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: was Joey to court. And I thought that was a

376
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 4: really cool way to end the game.

377
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that that car Jay shift for me,

378
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: that line over the last couple of games, but in particular,

379
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 5: you know that that play was was was huge. I mean,

380
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: if if you'd had the prop bet of holding McDavid

381
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 5: off the score sheet, I would have taken that one.

382
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. But listen, you're never going

383
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 5: to when you have a team at the Oilers, right,

384
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 5: it's never going to be easy. You know, you get

385
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 5: the first goal on the what second shift of the

386
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 5: game whatever it was, and then you knew the push

387
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 5: was coming, but you continue to frustrate them. You continue

388
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 5: to play the style that again we're nine games in,

389
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 5: so talk to me twenty nine games in, but the

390
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: style that has been so successful and so consistent early

391
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 5: on here, you're setting a tone early for the league,

392
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: and I think for your schedule. I mean, I can't

393
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 5: think of the oiler game, in particular, in the Winnipeg game.

394
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 5: I can't think of two better games played this season.

395
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 5: For a variety of different reasons. The result was the

396
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: same two points in the win column, but they were

397
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 5: just very different ways, very different styles. But ultimately the

398
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 5: goal and the objective was the same two points and.

399
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 4: You got them. Yeah. The Winnipeg game, and Mike and

400
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 4: I talked about this in the postgame a little bit

401
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: was all about structure and consistent shifts and keeping pucks

402
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 4: to the outside. Whereas the Edmonton win was a grind.

403
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: It was a grind. You got to grind for everything.

404
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: You know you're not gonna be able to win this

405
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 4: game one nothing, so you better go get a couple more.

406
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 4: And they did, and you knew that Edmonton was going

407
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 4: to come back and get on the board. It was

408
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: a grind of a game, but You're right, two different wins.

409
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: But I think the thing that stood out to me

410
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: and Mike and I also talked about this in the

411
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: postgame show, which was the X factor of the Edmonton win,

412
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 4: and that was Brandon Montour. Brandon Montur coming back into

413
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: the lineup. Like, I've never been in a locker room

414
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: where somebody's lost somebody that close to them, but I

415
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: have been in locker rooms where they've dealt with a

416
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: tough issue and they've been away from the team, and

417
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 4: having that player come back to the lineup, it just

418
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: injects a drug into the team that you just can't match.

419
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 4: And I think you saw that with the guys and

420
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 4: how they rallied around them in that game. So that

421
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 4: was definitely an X factor for me.

422
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: I said, it was the heaviest presser I had been

423
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: through my entire career, heaviest in my entire career. So

424
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 3: I'll put this up there. I mean, I don't think

425
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: you can really quantify how much Brandon Montur means here

426
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: to the dressing room, and then with the kind of

427
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 3: human being he is, how much he means to this

428
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: entire community. But I mean, how emotional was this seeing

429
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 3: him back on ice on Saturday.

430
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I think it was. And I think, you know,

431
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: having having never experienced that level of loss, you know,

432
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: I have no idea what it's like to have to

433
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 5: perform at the highest level of my ability in the

434
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 5: wake of something like that, let alone a brother, a parent,

435
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 5: a spouse, you know, someone very very close to you.

436
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 5: And again, I think for him to compartmentalize in the

437
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 5: way that he did, and who knows, maybe he was

438
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 5: just out there like, you know, I'm just gonna do

439
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 5: this until I can't do it anymore, you know what

440
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: I mean. Who knows what was really going through his mind.

441
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 5: But I mean, all you can do is commend him.

442
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what, man, I don't care if

443
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 5: he scored a hat trick in that game. I don't

444
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 5: care if he took one shift and and said that's it.

445
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 5: I can do it. The fact that he got out

446
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 5: there after being home for that long and and dealing

447
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 5: with that type of loss, just the fact that he

448
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 5: put the uniform on is commendable to me.

449
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: And then and then to see at the beginning of

450
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 4: the game basilly Pod Coles and come.

451
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: Up to him, Oh, yes, that short.

452
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 4: It was probably a half a second, little arm arm

453
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 4: around each other. I watched the video a couple of times.

454
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I could see him mouthing the word brother.

455
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

456
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 4: And you know, we don't know what he said, but

457
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: to know that pod Coles and went through a similar

458
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: loss in the past year, that was a really cool

459
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 4: thing to see, just in terms of listen, these guys

460
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 4: are gladiators. They go, they go to war against each other.

461
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 4: They beat the crap out of each other every game.

462
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 4: But to recognize that before that puck dropped, he wanted

463
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: to go recognize that situation with Montour. I thought that

464
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: was really cool.

465
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: And then they shake hands at the end of every

466
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: playoff round and they say that the hockey world is

467
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: certainly a small world.

468
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 5: Fits yeah, And I was gonna say Pod Coles and

469
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: I mean again, he lost his dad. I think that

470
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: was his first game back or second game back since

471
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 5: he had been over in Russia for for a few

472
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 5: weeks with the loss of his father and his story

473
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: as well. His dad last year in the Cup final

474
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 5: was at every game the Oilers played. So again, luckily,

475
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: and and I don't I don't say that lightly. Luckily,

476
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: I have not had to experience that. So I don't

477
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 5: know what it's like, but I can't even begin to

478
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 5: imagine what those two players are going through on Saturday

479
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 5: and now as they try to to move on without

480
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 5: big pieces of their life.

481
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: We're getting set here for again Montreal coming up tomorrow night,

482
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: and then the New York Rangers here on Saturday. Alex Spouse,

483
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: by the way, is gonna be with us here in

484
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 3: just a bit on Crack and weekly the play by

485
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: play radio voice here for the New York Rangers as well.

486
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: I want to get down to Berkeley Catton because last

487
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 3: night or two nights ago, I should say, what assist

488
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: plus one had eleven minutes of ice time? Couple shots

489
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 3: on net, but also one block shot as well, was

490
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: in on the Jordan Eberley goal to make it one nothing.

491
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 3: And we're now four games into this where the Crack

492
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: can have to make a decision by game nine do

493
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: you keep him long term or do you send him

494
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 3: back to WHL spoke in So for Berkeley Catton, al

495
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: we address this a little bit and fits I'll give

496
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: you the floor on this. How much more does he

497
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: have to prove to stay here long term?

498
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, it's the million dollar question that we're

499
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 5: not gonna have to answer after this season. I will

500
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: say that Berkeley Catton, for my money, has shown that

501
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 5: he's an NHL player. He's still learning the game, but

502
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 5: I haven't really seen him taking glaring steps back. Maybe

503
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 5: he plays well one game and then maybe the next game,

504
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 5: maybe he makes a mistake. That okay, rookie mistake. But again,

505
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 5: you're nineteen years old. I get it. Move on, We'll

506
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: play on. Louis Debrust for the Oilers broadcast crew. We

507
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: were talking about that the other day as well, and

508
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 5: I said that same thing, and he goes, that's not

509
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: a bad thing. He's nineteen. He's going to make mistakes,

510
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 5: and it's about how he rebounds. I do think that

511
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 5: he's done enough to have earned a spot on the team.

512
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 5: But the only problem, though, and Alan I talked about this,

513
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 5: is that if everyone was healthy, if McCann and if Coppococo,

514
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 5: and if all these guys were in the lineup every

515
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 5: single day, is Berkeley Catton here? And I think that's

516
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 5: the question that we have to answer. You know, what

517
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 5: does he have to prove? He's got to take a spot?

518
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 5: And while he I think has played very, very well.

519
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: You're not gonna put him on your fourth line. He

520
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 5: needs to be in a top minimally top nine, but

521
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 5: probably top six capacity. I don't know if he's there yet,

522
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 5: with everyone healthy, when Coco comes back, when Gadroau comes back,

523
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 5: and McCann when he comes back. Now again, you know,

524
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: we don't know the status of those guys. Cocko was

525
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 5: skating the other day. We don't know about Goodrow, We

526
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: don't know about McCann. Rker Evans is obviously on defense,

527
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 5: so he doesn't count for this exercise. But I think

528
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: that you know, it's gonna be a tough decision to make,

529
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 5: But I will say I think he's making the most

530
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 5: of his ability. But I just don't know if everyone's healthy,

531
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: if he's.

532
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: Here, Yeah, I would agree and disagree with some of

533
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 4: the I would agree in that he has played well

534
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 4: enough to show that he can play in the NHL.

535
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 5: YEP.

536
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 4: I don't know that he's taken a spot away from

537
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: a fully healthy cracking team.

538
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 5: Yet, and I agree.

539
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: I agree, Yeah, when I look at the middle of

540
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 4: the of the of the forward forward lines, he's not

541
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: going to take Benier Stevensoner rights position.

542
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: And you're not gonna Yeah, you're not gonna.

543
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 4: Play him on the fourth line. So so the middle

544
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: is out for Berkeley Cat and staying this season. When

545
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 4: you look at that left side, obviously McCann has got

546
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 4: that top spot when he comes back whenever that is,

547
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 4: then you've got Marchinton Schwartz. I don't think he's taken

548
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 4: either of those spots either. So again you're back down

549
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 4: to the fourth line. With that, we're car Chase. It's

550
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 4: in the left wing. So the answer to my question

551
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: or your career question, Mike, is he's played well enough

552
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 4: to show that he can play at this level. I

553
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 4: don't think he's taking anybody spot away yet.

554
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: When it comes.

555
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 5: And that's and that's and that's what I was saying about.

556
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 5: You know, he's earned a spot, but I don't know

557
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 5: if he's on this team if everyone's healthy. And I'm

558
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 5: with you, right, okay, exactly, Yeah, I think I may have.

559
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: I may have went around the world a bit till

560
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 5: on that one, but no, I'm I'm one years side,

561
00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 5: one hundred percent.

562
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 3: With Coppo Coco back soon, we presume, because he is

563
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: making progress and Lane Lambert said this week is going

564
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: to be pretty telling. As far as when his return

565
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: date's going to be, Jared McCann is still day to day.

566
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: We don't know yet though when he's due back. So

567
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 3: right now, here's how your top six looks. Caton Beaniers,

568
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: Eberly march Mint, Stevenson, Tolvenan, and he got Jayden Schwartz

569
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: a leading score right now playing on a line with

570
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: Shane Wright and Yonnie Newman. So Coco, I would assume

571
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: would plug right up with Matty Benier's he's your right winger.

572
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: And then as far as Jared McCann, is that going

573
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: to be maybe a left wing thing with Beaniars, a

574
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: left wing thing with Stevenson, We'll see. But what's your

575
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: feel on this right now?

576
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that the tolven and Stevenson Marchmint

577
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 4: line has been cemented yet. I think that that Lane

578
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 4: Lambert is still looking for more from that line. I

579
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 4: think Stevenson has played well individually from a face off standpoint.

580
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: I don't know if Toulvenan and Marchman are clicking with

581
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: Stevenson the way that Lane Lambert would like. So if

582
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 4: he's going to if he's going to fiddle with the line,

583
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: it's probably that one. I don't see any reason why

584
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: when the Can comes back, he wouldn't take that left

585
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: wing spot from Catton, and when Coco comes back, he

586
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: wouldn't take that right wing spot from every which means

587
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 4: where does every go. I've got to believe it's probably

588
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: to that second line with Stevenson, which pushes his Toulvenen

589
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: down the spot as well. And then you get into

590
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: the Newman and Winterton conversations. But you know, it's it's

591
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 4: it's fun for us to speculate. We just don't know

592
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 4: the timing of these events. And until now or until that,

593
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 4: until that time comes when Cocko comes back, they'll figure

594
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 4: that out then. So they're gonna have to deal probably

595
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: with the right wing spot before they deal with them

596
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: Can return. But once they're both back, yeah, I like

597
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: I said, Carton probably goes back to watching a lot

598
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: of games from the from the press bridge and getting

599
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 4: ready to go to World Juniors.

600
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I think just looking at the line

601
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 5: sheet from from the game against Edmonton on Saturday, I

602
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 5: like March Mint Stevenson, every line. I think that line

603
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 5: has a lot of IQ. You've got offense, you've got

604
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 5: Marchman who's not afraid to stir it up, and then

605
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: all of that. But I don't know if McCann comes back,

606
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 5: you know, so you go nineteen ten to seven. Maybe

607
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 5: you put Coco on the right side of that March

608
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 5: Min Stevenson line, and you know, you've got two players

609
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 5: in MARCHMNT and in Coco who aren't afraid to go

610
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 5: to the net, which you drop Toulvenin down to Schwartz,

611
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 5: right Tolvenen again, I think that line has got on

612
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 5: paper lose some potential. And then as of right now,

613
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 5: Gadreu's out for a while, so you're gonna go Cartier, Myers,

614
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 5: Winterton slash Newman. But again, Winterton and Cargia I think

615
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: have been playing lights out the last couple of games.

616
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 5: So Newman's your or is your odd man out in

617
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 5: that scenario? But yeah, I mean I'm with you. I

618
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 5: think the odd man out in this entire situation is

619
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 5: Berkeley Catton. And then you're asking yourself, you keep them

620
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 5: up here to practice with the team, go to World Juniors,

621
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: and then you send them back to Spokane if you're

622
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 5: gonna burn the nine games already and eat up the

623
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: year I mean, because maybe out of necessity, are we

624
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: gonna get those guys back in the next five games,

625
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 5: or do you sit you bring Hayden back in, maybe

626
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 5: sit Catton for a game or two to stretch that

627
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 5: timeline out a little bit. There's a lot of questions

628
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 5: that I don't envy Lane and Jason Bostroll cracking GM

629
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: over the next you know, ten to twenty one days here.

630
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: See, I actually see.

631
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: I have two thoughts on that, and I think number one,

632
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: it goes right back to Berkeley Catton and if he's

633
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: gonna stay here long term, is he going to perform

634
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: head and shoulders above the rest, because that has got

635
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: to be the bar right now with every other veteran

636
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: that he's up again, so to speak, here in this lineup.

637
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: And that's just the reality here of where they are.

638
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: And number two, this is almost kind of like a

639
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: coach's dream, but a coach's dilemma when you get players

640
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 3: who are playing so well that you are creating competition

641
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: in your lineup and they are making decisions hard for you.

642
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: This is what it's going to come down to, is

643
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: can they make decisions hard here for Lane Lambert? And

644
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: part of this here is also dealing with the three

645
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 3: goalie system. It takes you know, someone else away here

646
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: from the ford and defense that you could easily fill.

647
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: But that's just the reality. Where does cat and fit,

648
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: Where it could car Sheate fit? Where could Winterton fit?

649
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: And Yannie Newman who's playing himself out of that conversation.

650
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 3: He's got three goals already, but still a lot of

651
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: veterans here in this lineup, and for the next few weeks,

652
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: this is how it's going to roll out because they

653
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 3: are still competing for a long term spot.

654
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I think that this team's going to

655
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 4: have some difficult decisions to make once they're healthy. You know,

656
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 4: I think Winton had a great game in the in

657
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 4: the Edmonton game, but he probably probably his best game

658
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 4: car as well. You know, when Goodroau comes back, I

659
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: have to believe Ben Meyers drops down to Coachella and

660
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: he gets that center spot back. So you know, the

661
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: questions are going to be on the wings. Like I said,

662
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 4: other than Goodrow coming back to that fourth line, the

663
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 4: questions are going to be on the wings and and

664
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 4: what happens with Caton and Newman and uh and Winterton

665
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 4: when when we're healthy.

666
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: All right, and I think real quick, Mike, I think too.

667
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 5: You know, this team is five two and two through

668
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 5: nine games without McCann, without Cocko and Evans and Goodrow,

669
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 5: right or I mean Goodroux was over the first handful

670
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: of games.

671
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 9: But when when these guys get back, and let's say

672
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 9: the Kraken are still on this trajectory of taking you know,

673
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 9: five out of every six points or five out of

674
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 9: every seven points, you know what I mean, and you're

675
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 9: still in second place two weeks from now.

676
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 5: When these guys come back, you don't want to upset

677
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 5: the apple cart too much, you know what I mean.

678
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 5: You're trying to find where these guys go. So that's

679
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 5: another wrinkle in the system. You know, if again, I'll

680
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 5: go back to you know, Cat and Beaniers Everly. So

681
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 5: let's say we'll put McCann up there for Mccanvaniers ever League.

682
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 5: Those two are clicking well. Then Coco comes back. But

683
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: Mccannvaneers and Everly have got points in hypothetically five straight games.

684
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 5: Are you really trying to break up that line? Because

685
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 5: they perform so well, right Cartchia and Winterton have been

686
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 5: really good on either side of Ben Myers, so you

687
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: have to imagine that those two when Gadrou comes back,

688
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 5: are still gonna have a damn good line. Are you

689
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 5: really gonna want to take Winterton out of the lineup

690
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 5: if he's complimenting Krts and Goodrow in that way? So

691
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 5: there's another area I think that we have to look

692
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 5: at if And again this is all if in hypotheticals

693
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 5: and down the road, but if this team continues to

694
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 5: do well, you really don't want to muck things up

695
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 5: too much.

696
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 4: One more piece of speculation that I'll add, maybe as

697
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 4: a wrinkle, but I'd love to hear both your thoughts

698
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 4: on it. Fifth you and I had a conversation with

699
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 4: a third person last night pre game where we talked

700
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 4: about how long can the crack and play this style

701
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 4: of play? Yeah? You know, I saw the article today

702
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 4: that oldest teams in the league. It turns out Winnipeg's

703
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 4: actually the oldest team, but Seattle's in that kind of

704
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 4: bottom third or top third. How you want to range

705
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: it in terms of age? Yeah, you know, is this

706
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: a team where over an a two game season, they're

707
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 4: just going to have a couple two three guys out constantly.

708
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 4: It's going to be different people but they're going to

709
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: need this depth that they have right now that they're

710
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 4: winning with because of the way they're going to play

711
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 4: these eighty two games. And you know that that could

712
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 4: be part of the plan as well.

713
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 5: It's hard, it's heavy, it's a grinding style, and you know, everyone,

714
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 5: it's the NHL. No one's gonna be one hundred percent

715
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: healthy at all times. But how many times have we

716
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 5: seen guys walking down the aisle, walking off the plane,

717
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 5: walking down the stairs and there's a little bit of

718
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 5: a limp, there's a little bit of a you know,

719
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 5: it is a rock in your shoe. There's a couple,

720
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 5: maybe one or two extra guys with one or two

721
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 5: extra ice bags. Right. This is a demanding style that

722
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 5: Lane has. It's working. But going back to that conversation

723
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 5: that we had, is it sustainable over the eighty two games.

724
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 5: It's going to have to be because you know, Lane

725
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 5: is a no excuse, no nonsense coach. However, I think

726
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 5: you're right like this, we may have to get used

727
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 5: to a lot of day to day. It's a lot

728
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 5: of week two weeks. How many guys on this roster

729
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 5: are gonna play all eighty two maybe Adam Larson's about

730
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: the only one. But yeah, there might not be a

731
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 5: a lot of eighty two games played players on this

732
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 5: team this season.

733
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: See maybe more opportunities for Coachella players coming up for

734
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 4: that reason.

735
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of use the baseball comparison of this.

736
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: It's like, how much can you fill your pitching staff

737
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: with guys are going to max out there? Or I'm

738
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 3: trying to throw one hundred miles an hour as well.

739
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: I mean you can dial it back a little bit,

740
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: but I mean velocity attends to me the name of

741
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 3: the game here, Whereas so in hockey, we're starting to

742
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: see bullyball make its way back now into the NHL.

743
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: I think for me it goes down to two things.

744
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 3: I think, number one, yes, you have to play a

745
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 3: certain style and you have to play physically. You have

746
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: to grind it out, but there will be injuries along

747
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: the way.

748
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 2: So number two.

749
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: Then I look at this where and I say, you

750
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: want to win now? And this team is said they

751
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 3: want to win now. That's why they've retained so many veterans,

752
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: that's why they're trying to slow play their prospects. But

753
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: there's two ways to do this. One do you open

754
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: the flood gates like Edmonton, they're not built that way.

755
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 3: Er two, can you find a way to grind it

756
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: out and win games two to one or three to two.

757
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 3: You don't have to rely on six to seven to

758
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: eight guys to get you twenty five thirty goals up

759
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: and down your lineup. What you can do to rely

760
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 3: on is play good, sound, structured defense and get reliable

761
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: goaltending every game. That's gonna be your ultimate out card

762
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: right there. That's your outpitch in this game for the

763
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: Kraken is can you get defense? Can you get goaltending?

764
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: And so far they're getting it. The reality is we're

765
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: gonna probably be seeing guys on the shelf, as you

766
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 3: said over and over and over, but can you avoid

767
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 3: the injuries here to the big key guys?

768
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 5: And I also think and I think too. You know,

769
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 5: we talked to JT about this all the time. Because

770
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 5: of the condensed schedule as it is right the crack

771
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 5: in this week, I think this is the first of

772
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 5: four occasions that they're gonna have more than two games

773
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 5: two days off in between games. This team is playing

774
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 5: every second or every third day all year long. You're

775
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 5: gonna see a lot more optional skates. You're gonna see

776
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 5: a lot more cancel practices. You're gonna see a lot

777
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 5: more load management.

778
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 3: Right, It's not to reward the players, it's to help

779
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: them heal.

780
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, hundre percent, right on hundred percent. Like I mean,

781
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 5: we listen, they're they're we we can probably and again

782
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 5: this is all speculation, but I mean between now and Christmas,

783
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 5: I'm guarantee. I bet you we see fewer than ten

784
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 5: full practices between now and Christmas. Right, Like, you're gonna

785
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 5: have some optionals, your morning skates are gonna be get

786
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 5: what you need and get off, you know what I mean.

787
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 5: But because you're playing every day or every third day,

788
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 5: uh for the most of the season, you know, you

789
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 5: gotta find ways to keep guys healthy, holding guys out

790
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 5: in practices, maybe not going as heavy in practices. Those

791
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 5: are some areas that potentially we could see uh being

792
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 5: used to keep guys fresh for games.

793
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 3: So how is this gonna hold up against the New

794
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: York Ranger. It's great time to bring in. Here are

00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 3: far as how you're doing, what does it mean to

802
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 3: take on this kind of opportunity with this kind of franchise.

803
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

804
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 10: You know, there's no place like home, right I'm a

805
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 10: native New Yorker and to have the opportunity to work

806
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 10: for your hometown team, a team you you grew up

807
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 10: rooting for, you know, it's a it's a dream come true.

808
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 10: You know, sometimes you got got to be in the

809
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 10: right place at the right time, and that certainly was

810
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 10: the case here. So grateful for the opportunity to be

811
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 10: able to be a part of this broadcast crew. And

812
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 10: you know, they've always been a you know, a group

813
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 10: that I've I've looked up to as one of the

814
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 10: best in the business. So to be able to work

815
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 10: with the folks at MSG Network is just it's a

816
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 10: professional dream come true as well. Never mind the crest

817
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 10: on the front.

818
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 3: Of the jersey, I can't I can't say enough and

819
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 3: how happy I was for you when the news broke

820
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 3: that you were jumping on board full time. And I

821
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: know that in this business we're often you know, told

822
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: be yourself, don't copy somebody else here. But I mean,

823
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 3: with the transition and a legend like Sam Rose and

824
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: moving on after so many years, what kind of a

825
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 3: legacy has he left in the boot for others here

826
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 3: to follow.

827
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 10: Well, at the bottom line is that Sam was all classed,

828
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 10: and you know, he and Joe both just you know,

829
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 10: when they came into town, when the Rangers were in

830
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 10: the and the MSG networks covering the game, you knew

831
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 10: that let's say you were an opposing coach or imposing

832
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 10: GM or a referee or whatnot, and you know you

833
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 10: have a chance to talk with those two guys, you

834
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 10: just come away feeling like, Wow, this this was the

835
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 10: classiest interaction I've ever had. And that's how I felt,

836
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 10: you know, when I was in LA even it got

837
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 10: to meet those guys for the first time. You know,

838
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 10: I grew up watching Sam Rose and John Davidson on TV, right,

839
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 10: and to be able to, you know, meet somebody who

840
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 10: you've looked up to in this business, you know, it

841
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 10: couldn't have been nicer. And you know, got to know

842
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 10: me as a New Yorker too, and I got to,

843
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 10: you know, be around for his final couple of years

844
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 10: here on a on a part time basis, and it

845
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 10: was kind of awesome to to be able to swap

846
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 10: stories from, you know, growing up in the city here.

847
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 4: A bit of a rocky start for the Rangers, losing

848
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: five to one two Calgary Sunday night.

849
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: Uh, what are.

850
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 4: Some of the challenges you think the Rangers are facing

851
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 4: that's not really aligning with the external expectations for this group?

852
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 10: You know, I think you can go back to some

853
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 10: of the injuries that they've had to deal with, which

854
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 10: may not seem all that significant on the surface, but

855
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 10: our Timmy Paneren and JT. Miller both had what I

856
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 10: would describe as false starts in training camp. They were

857
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 10: both banged up, didn't get the full camp, and I

858
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 10: firmly believe they may not have been one hundred percent

859
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 10: when the season got underway. And then shortly after the

860
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 10: season started, Vincent Trocheck went down with injury. And you're

861
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 10: talking about a guy who you know, is one of

862
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 10: the top centermen in the league. The plan was to

863
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 10: have Mika's avantaje ad play on the wing this season,

864
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 10: and not be a full time center like he's been

865
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 10: in the past. Well, that plan immediately got torn to

866
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 10: bits when Trocheck went down with injury. You know, the

867
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 10: feeling was that they wanted to get Mika up on

868
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 10: the fore check, a little bit more on the wing,

869
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 10: and he's bought into kind of a more physical north

870
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 10: south game. But without Trocheck in the middle, you're talking

871
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 10: about a guy who is grade five on five, a

872
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 10: point producer, is on your top power play unit, kills penalties,

873
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 10: never mind slots the rest.

874
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: Of your forwards where they should be.

875
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 10: The knock on effect from that injury, I think has

876
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 10: created a lot of problems. You Know, the first couple

877
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 10: of weeks of this season, you could look at the

878
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 10: Rangers record and say, well, you know, they're losing all

879
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 10: these games. But actually the sense was, and I'm not

880
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 10: just talking from a team standpoint, but from the fans

881
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 10: from the media covering the team, that their process was fine.

882
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 10: They were out playing their opposition at five on five,

883
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 10: they were dominating them defensively, and the issue was they

884
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 10: weren't getting goal scoring.

885
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: Well, now their game.

886
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 10: Has slipped a little bit defensively and the goal scoring

887
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 10: hasn't picked up.

888
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 2: With it to try to cover for all of that.

889
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 10: So what you wind up with is a team that

890
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 10: you know, probably shouldn't have, you know, as low a

891
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 10: record as they have, but by virtue of not winning

892
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 10: games where they outplayed their opposition, they find themselves in

893
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 10: this early hole.

894
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 3: I'm sure that things weren't going to script early here

895
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: as far as what Mike Sullivan had intended off the

896
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 3: bat here for his brand new job coming over from

897
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Penguins, as well as Alex Bausch joining us

898
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 3: right now and crack and weekly. But what have we

899
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 3: learned so far with what Mike Sullivan is all about

900
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 3: his core values and how much more time that this

901
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: team needs to really get things locked in as far

902
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: as his vision.

903
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 10: To be honest, I thought that there was a lot

904
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 10: of buy in right away in training camp. I think

905
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 10: this group was craving more structure, more of a set standard,

906
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 10: and Mike Sullivan has been adamant about that this group

907
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 10: needed to set a new bar as far as a

908
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 10: standard of play. And going back to the first couple

909
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 10: of games, you know, they play Washington really tough, and

910
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 10: Charlie Lingern put in a great performance. They play the

911
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 10: Mayle Leafs really tough and lose that one. You know,

912
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 10: over time, you look at some of their early results

913
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 10: and some of their tight losses to begin this season,

914
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 10: and they were playing to that standard. They were playing

915
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 10: what the way Mike Sullivan wanted them to play, by

916
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 10: being responsible, by playing hard North South. And I think that,

917
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 10: you know, as they've slipped a little bit here and

918
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 10: lost a couple of games, you're seeing Sulivin trying to

919
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 10: bring the group back to that standard. You know, the

920
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 10: Rangers made a clear investment in Sulivin as their head coach,

921
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 10: and you know they they feel that the way that

922
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 10: he runs this operation on the day to day is

923
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 10: absolutely what this group needs.

924
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: And I think you're seeing it that.

925
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 10: When this team is playing at its best, it's probably

926
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 10: the most defensively sound you've seen the Rangers.

927
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 2: Play in a long long time.

928
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 10: But now it's just about, okay, how can you how

929
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 10: can you pair that with you know, some of the

930
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 10: creative skill on this team and getting a little bit

931
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 10: more finished right now.

932
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 4: Sometimes when you're trying to get over that that position

933
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 4: of maybe not playing to where you expect a team

934
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 4: to play, you can look at areas of improvement when

935
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 4: you when you talk about training camp and the vets

936
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 4: and you know maybe what they did or didn't get

937
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 4: out of that in preseason, and then you look at, well,

938
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 4: who do you think when you're putting down the roster,

939
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 4: who do you think has the most upside? Get this

940
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 4: thing righted a little bit?

941
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 10: You know, I think they're they're looking at two guys

942
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 10: that you know have been off to slow starts, Will

943
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 10: Cooley and Alexi la Frenier. You know, both were expected

944
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 10: to carry more of a higher load this year. I

945
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 10: mean la Frenier, you know, his body of work speaks

946
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 10: for itself, right and the skill is plainly obvious, but

947
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 10: can't he keep that up.

948
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 2: On a consistent basis?

949
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 10: For you know, Will Cooley, who burst onto the scene

950
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 10: a couple of years ago, I mean this is his

951
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 10: third full NHL season.

952
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: I think what.

953
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 10: What's interesting with a younger player is when you elevate

954
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 10: him into a new role, is then pressure starting to

955
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 10: set in? Okay, I have to match expectations of being

956
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 10: in a certain place, and then do you wind up

957
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 10: maybe trying to do a little bit too much? And

958
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 10: we see this all the time with younger players around

959
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 10: the league. I mean, Will is still only twenty three

960
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 10: years of age. It's hard to, you know, instantly be

961
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 10: thrust into a newer role where you're expected to carry

962
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 10: more of the team and not stray from the simple

963
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 10: game that got you there. So right now it's about

964
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 10: how you can, you know, get this guy who plays

965
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 10: a really great North South game and stick with it.

966
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 4: Right So, you're you're out on a four game road

967
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 4: trip West Coast, you're one game in. Does being out

968
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 4: on the road do you think that helps kind of

969
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 4: galvanize the guys a little bit, to get away from

970
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 4: MSG for a few days. Do you think that helps

971
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 4: get the team right it a little bit?

972
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 10: You know, I think given the way that you know

973
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 10: they struggled at home to begin, you know it can't hurt.

974
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 10: I think we hear often in today's NHL that go

975
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 10: on the road, regardless of which team you play on,

976
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 10: is actually more of a structured environment than when you're

977
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 10: playing home games.

978
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 2: And we've actually seen it across the league.

979
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 10: I was looking up and we're taping this on a Monday.

980
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 10: I was looking at the league wide points percentage of

981
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 10: ball road teams. It's five point forty one to begin

982
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 10: the season. So across the league you're seeing this where

983
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 10: when teams get out on the road and they can

984
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 10: jail as a group and they can leave you know,

985
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 10: some of the things that you may occupy their time

986
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 10: when they're at home, family obligations and other things.

987
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: It actually sometimes can aid in performance.

988
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 10: So I think that's what the hope is for this

989
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 10: Rangers team is that they can take advantage of being

990
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 10: on their longest road trip of the season stacked together

991
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 10: a couple of results, feel more confident about their game

992
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 10: when they return home.

993
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 3: Alex this is going to lead to the reunion game

994
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 3: that we have certainly been pining for for a while.

995
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 3: On the Kraken side, we'll see if o'cacka was back.

996
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 3: But Ryan Lindgren is here, and now Will Borgan is

997
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 3: back in Seattle for the first time since the trade.

998
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 3: From this last season, I mean, he's earned playing time

999
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 3: up and down the defensive pair. But through ten games

1000
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 3: so far and sixty one overall, what's the Will Borgan

1001
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 3: experience like in New York and how he fits in

1002
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 3: here to Mike Sullivan's plans.

1003
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 10: Well, we're actually at a couple of reunion events here

1004
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 10: with JT. Miller as we taped this on a Monday

1005
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 10: before the Rangers playing Vancouver on Tuesday, So that's gonna

1006
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 10: be a big one to mark down.

1007
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 2: But you know, I think when when.

1008
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 10: The Rangers traded for Will Borgan in the Coppococo deal, they.

1009
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 2: Were looking for some.

1010
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 10: More consistent play out of their back end, just a sturdy,

1011
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 10: stay at home defenseman. I have been impressed from the

1012
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 10: moment Borgan got here. You know, I don't think you

1013
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 10: know he's going to tell you that he has an

1014
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 10: offensive streak to his game, but he'll step up joined

1015
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 10: the rush.

1016
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: He's got a pretty good shot.

1017
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 10: I think everybody around the organization has been really happy

1018
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 10: with what Will brings to the table.

1019
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 2: He plays with a bit of an edge. He's a

1020
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 2: tough guy. I mean I've seen already.

1021
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 10: I mean we're less than a month into the season,

1022
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 10: and he's taken some punishment, whether it's block shots or

1023
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 10: tough hits, and he keeps on ticking. He is one

1024
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 10: tough customer and I think he's been a great fit

1025
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 10: for what this Rangers team wants to be.

1026
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 4: Identity wise, Alex talk a little bit about sister and

1027
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 4: obviously a top goaltender, in this league. What's he like?

1028
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 4: What are the fans need to do about him in

1029
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 4: terms of how he approaches the game. You know, they

1030
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 4: see the stats obviously, but talk a little bit about

1031
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: his professionalism as a goaltender.

1032
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 10: Boy, he's dedicated to his craft. You know, any goalie

1033
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 10: will tell you that they're hard on themselves.

1034
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: I think Igor channels it in such.

1035
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 10: A way where we were looking up some stats the

1036
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 10: other day that you know he gets. He lost to

1037
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 10: San Jose in a six or five overtime decision, and

1038
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 10: in his career he's bounced back from those better than

1039
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 10: most goaltenders. He has a really he has a gaudy

1040
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 10: win loss percentage in his favor when he's coming off

1041
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 10: of a loss where he's given up let's say five

1042
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 10: or more goals, And it speaks to, you know, his

1043
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 10: professionalism and how deeply he you know, studies the game.

1044
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 10: You know, his his movement when he's square to the puck.

1045
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 10: You know, I would put him up against any goaltender

1046
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 10: in the league, and I'd say, you know, he's probably

1047
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 10: the best in that regard. You know, until last year,

1048
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 10: he had won thirty six plus games three seasons in

1049
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 10: a row. I mean, you're you're talking about the kreme

1050
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 10: de la creme in this league. That's why he earned

1051
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 10: that large contract extension, the highest for a goaltender in

1052
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 10: league history.

1053
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: But you know, I think where it's so funny.

1054
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 10: You look at his goals against and he got binged

1055
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 10: up a little bit to start the road trip in.

1056
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 2: Calgary, but he had a sub two goals against.

1057
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 10: Average and he's a game under five hundred starting this

1058
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 10: road trip, you know, so it just goes to show

1059
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 10: kind of where the Rangers are at that you know,

1060
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 10: he's done his part but needs a little bit of

1061
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 10: run support.

1062
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 5: Alex.

1063
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 3: Up next will be Montreal on the crack inside. They've

1064
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 3: seen them once at Bell Center. The Rangers, I've already

1065
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 3: seen them once. But there's seven to three right now

1066
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: to begin this season and yet own the youngest team

1067
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 3: right now in the NHL on paper. I mean, as

1068
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 3: far as what you've seen, how much is the start

1069
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 3: reflective of what they can be all season one?

1070
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 4: Oh?

1071
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 10: For my money, I think the Montreal Canadians might be

1072
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 10: the most exciting team in the National Hockey League right now.

1073
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 10: And I don't think I'm speaking out of turn by

1074
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 10: saying that. You know, just the skill on display, the.

1075
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: Style that they play, the speed with which they play.

1076
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 10: When we were in Montreal, you know, Dave Maloney and

1077
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 10: I you know, would have each TV time out look

1078
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 10: at one another and say, Wow, these guys play fast.

1079
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 5: You know.

1080
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 10: I think the biggest question is it has been for

1081
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 10: the last couple of years, is you know your ice

1082
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 10: love Kowski the evolution in his game.

1083
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 2: Can he keep up?

1084
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 10: And I think we've started to see he holds his

1085
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 10: own from a physicality standpoint better than when he first

1086
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 10: got in the league. But man, Cole Callfield's an elite sniper.

1087
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 10: Laane Hudson deserving the Callege Trophy last year.

1088
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 2: He's skaced like the win.

1089
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 10: I mean, it's it's like a Kate mccarr two point

1090
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 10: zero uh kind of deal. And then you've got a

1091
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 10: couple of guys that you know fit very different roles

1092
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 10: and and seem to work well. I mean, you've got

1093
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 10: some bulk with arbor Jack guy, if you need to have.

1094
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 2: Him in there.

1095
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 10: Noah Dobson, who's just been such a sturdy defenseman in

1096
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 10: this league the last couple of years. You've got centered depth.

1097
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 10: Now I know Alex new Hook is out for a

1098
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 10: while with injury, and that's that's gonna be area where

1099
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 10: they're going to be tested here. But you know, when

1100
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 10: he's healthy, you've got a pretty good lineup up the middle.

1101
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 10: And then Sam Montebo, who's you know. I think he

1102
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 10: follows in a great line of Quepaquah goaltenders who have

1103
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 10: a flair for the dramatic. He plays that way and

1104
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 10: loves to entertain.

1105
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, coming up Montreal tomorrow night only visit they have

1106
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 3: here into Climbate Pledge Arena at seven thirty and then

1107
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 3: the Rangers this Saturday at seven o'clock at Climate Pledgerina.

1108
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 3: Alex been too long looking forward to having it back

1109
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 3: up in these parts up in the Gondo Love. But

1110
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 3: in the meantime, keep up the great worker. I was

1111
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 3: welcome back here with us, and they're looking forward to

1112
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 3: catching up soon with you.

1113
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 2: Thanks again, appreciate you guys, Thanks for having me on.

1114
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 3: All right, great stuff. One of our great friends here

1115
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 3: in this business, Alex Fast joining us here on Cracking

1116
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 3: Weekly now in his first full season behind the play

1117
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 3: by play Mike for the New York Rangers as well.

1118
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 3: Great insight from him leading us into the week ahead

1119
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 3: here for the crack And and Everett got to this earlier.

1120
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 3: It's pretty light Montreal coming up tomorrow night, and the

1121
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 3: New York Rangers as well coming up on Saturday. And

1122
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 3: that's it. We're not gonna have many weeks like this

1123
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 3: again much for this entire schedule. So I'll begin with

1124
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 3: the Montreal game. And I think to me, after the

1125
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 3: krack And lost this one back at Bell Center in overtime,

1126
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 3: assuming that he starts, I'd be led to believe that

1127
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 3: Joey Decord wants a massive do over. I think here

1128
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 3: for this game, and he's like fantastic in the last

1129
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 3: two games against Winnipeg and Edmonton. But again, what that

1130
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 3: game told us, You can't take late penalties. It led

1131
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 3: to the power play goal to tie the game. Can

1132
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 3: you contain I've been Demo Dobin, Oh boy, does he

1133
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 3: look good right now? And Cole Cawfield And because with

1134
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 3: that more pucks flowing through them because Patrick Lyone is

1135
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 3: out three to four months with core surgery.

1136
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that that game Montreal started on sloppy.

1137
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 4: They slowly got it cleaned up in the latter parts

1138
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 4: of the first and second period, but it didn't start

1139
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 4: on time as ever, likes to say, and I think

1140
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 4: that's going to be something that they'll be thinking about

1141
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: in this game against Montreal. You know I talked about

1142
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 4: Seattle being thirteenth oldest team. Well guess who's the youngest

1143
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 4: team in the league against Montreal. And so they are

1144
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 4: a fast team, they are an agile team. They're a

1145
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 4: youthful team, full of energy, and the Cracker are gonna

1146
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 4: have to find a way to slow that down. Yeah.

1147
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, anytime you have a rematch of the

1148
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 5: nineteen seventeen Stanley Cup final between Seattle and Montreal, I

1149
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 5: mean it is appointment viewing. No, I listen the Kraken.

1150
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 5: I felt that they man Cawfield was so good in

1151
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 5: that first game that that should have been a two

1152
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 5: point night. But Cawfield was was was on hold my

1153
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 5: beer right home opener, emotional home opener. And I've always

1154
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,919
Speaker 5: contended that I think it's it's a lot easier for

1155
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 5: the team that lost in the second game to win

1156
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 5: than it is for the team that won, because if

1157
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 5: you won, it's easy to go out there and say,

1158
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 5: all right, boys, let's running back do it again. But

1159
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 5: if you lost, you're making the adjustments, you know, where

1160
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 5: you slipped up, you knew where you failed. I think

1161
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 5: where the Kraken, you know they They've contained the last

1162
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 5: two teams top lines pretty effectively. Even though dry Title

1163
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 5: and Ryan Nusan Hopkins did get points in that game

1164
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 5: against the Edmonton Oilers, News had an assist and dry

1165
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 5: Title had the two assists there, but David off the

1166
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 5: score sheet. I still think that you know you can,

1167
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 5: you can shut down and a Suzuki a caw Field.

1168
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 5: It's not going to be easy. Elaine Hudson. It's not

1169
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 5: gonna be easy, but I do think it's really a

1170
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 5: rinse and repeat. You know it's not period one of

1171
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 5: of the Montreal game. It's really gonna be period seven

1172
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 5: of the Winnipeg Edmonton games can continued if they want

1173
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 5: to have success going up against Montreal.

1174
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 4: The youth of Montreal needs to get matched with some

1175
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 4: of the youth on Seattle. I see above Berkeley Cotton,

1176
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 4: I mean same age as Demidov, Like, hey, you want

1177
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 4: to play in the NHL, go out and you take

1178
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 4: this guy off the score sheet, stick with him the

1179
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 4: whole game, like match him. So uh, the Cracker are

1180
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 4: going to have to use their their limited number of

1181
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 4: of of skaters that can stay with some of this

1182
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 4: youth on the Montreal team to match them.

1183
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 3: Rangers coming up this Saturday, and before I get onto

1184
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 3: the festivities, because where we record this year on the

1185
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 3: back of my walls, I think one of the slickest

1186
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 3: third jerseys I have ever seen in my life, and

1187
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 3: they will debut here for this weekend. But for the

1188
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 3: on ice matters, the Rangers coming off what was again

1189
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 3: a clunker at Calgary five to one loss, and you

1190
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 3: have to wonder with Mike Sullivan and the guys they

1191
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 3: have top to bottom one their takeoff game gonna be.

1192
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 3: So this is what really concerns me. I think despite

1193
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 3: them coming to the end of their road trip into

1194
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 3: Seattle goal prevention, they have been mainly top notch to

1195
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 3: the Igor Shasterkin, but he gave up five goals on

1196
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 3: thirty shots at Calgary, but for the most part this

1197
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 3: year he's received little run support. They only got one

1198
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 3: goal in that loss at Calgary, and that only goal

1199
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 3: came ten seconds after Kevin Ball beat Shasterkin from about

1200
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 3: roughly fifty feet a moving screen as well, but it

1201
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 3: was one of the more uglier goals we have seen

1202
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 3: Shasterkin give up here for his career. So depending on

1203
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 3: what happens at the end of this Ranger road trip,

1204
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 3: I think, for me, can you jump on them early

1205
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 3: in period one and just like you did maybe against Edmonton,

1206
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 3: but number two find a way to see out of

1207
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 3: the box for their weapons that they have because they

1208
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 3: can get their cookies on the power play. Despite them

1209
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: struggling early this season.

1210
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean at the time of us recording this show,

1211
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 5: you know, they're one four and two in their last

1212
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 5: eight g or what is that, seven games after starting

1213
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 5: the year two and one, and you listen to a

1214
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 5: lot of the pundits and the people around who were

1215
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 5: talking about the Rangers. You know, they seem a little deflated.

1216
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 5: They don't have they don't have that typical jump that

1217
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 5: we're used to seeing. And before they come into Seattle

1218
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 5: they still have to play Vancouver and Edmonton both, I think,

1219
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 5: who are a little ticked off by their start, So

1220
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 5: I mean, you never know what could happen, and I

1221
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 5: think you can't afford Number one to take the Rangers lightly,

1222
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 5: you know, and in that regard, but you're right, a

1223
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 5: lot of those young players and they've got some talent

1224
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 5: on that team with Mike Sullivan now the coach, there

1225
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 5: like a lot sets up for you know, you don't

1226
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 5: want to be the slump buster. You don't want to

1227
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 5: be the street buster. Right. We've seen in the Crack

1228
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 5: in the last couple of years, you know, struggle with

1229
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 5: the likes of Anaheim San Jose when they're coming off

1230
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 5: of Chicago, right, So Ottawa, you know, I mean, there

1231
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 5: are teams that you feel that you should beat in

1232
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 5: the last couple of years, and Seattle's not been able

1233
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 5: to get it done. So you don't want to fall

1234
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 5: trap to that. But also too, you see these teams

1235
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 5: twice a year, and I mean the Eastern Conference. You

1236
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 5: never know what you're gonna get out East. It's different styles,

1237
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 5: it's different personnel. Again, you know you're seeing these the

1238
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 5: Cracket have not seen the Rangers since what February I

1239
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 5: want to say, early March, so it's been a while.

1240
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 5: It's been a while since the Crack and have seen

1241
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 5: the Rangers play, So you know, that's another thing you

1242
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 5: don't know what to expect. Also, Litt Morgan, he's gonna

1243
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 5: be fired up coming back to c PA, you know

1244
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 5: what I mean. And Carson Susy that'll be fun. But

1245
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 5: but no, I think for the cracking. You know, it's

1246
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 5: not going to be easy this week. But we talked

1247
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 5: a little bit about the more manageable parts of the

1248
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 5: schedule as you get into November, and I think this

1249
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 5: week two games in the week and you can finally

1250
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 5: rest and relax and get some energy back. I think

1251
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 5: these are two games that if you're Seattle, the goal

1252
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 5: needs to be at minimum three points out of the

1253
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 5: Canadians and the Rangers.

1254
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would never sleep on a team that's coached

1255
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 4: by Mike Sullivan. Oh No, Schustkin is absolutely one of

1256
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 4: the best goaltenders in the league. He might not be

1257
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 4: get getting the defense support that he needs right now,

1258
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 4: but I would not sleep on this team. Panerin Miller,

1259
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 4: Adam Fox A, Benajat like these guys are our offensive juggernauts.

1260
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 4: And if you look at any of these games and say, well,

1261
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 4: this team is on a slide, it's going to be

1262
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 4: a little easier. Maybe I don't have to commit to

1263
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 4: the structure as much as I normally would. Against Ay

1264
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 4: and Edmonton, they're going to catch you sleep and they're

1265
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 4: going to put a couple up real fast, So I'm

1266
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 4: not concerned about that. I think that that, you know,

1267
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 4: Lane Lambert is the same guy whether this team wins

1268
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 4: or loses, at least from we see. You know, the

1269
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 4: highs aren't too high and the lows aren't too low.

1270
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 4: And I think that's just because that's the way he

1271
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 4: likes to operate. That's the way he likes his guys

1272
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 4: to operate. So you know, he's not going to treat

1273
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 4: any team as well. This will be an easy win

1274
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 4: and his cadence will be off. And I say his,

1275
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 4: I mean lanes where you know he's a little loose

1276
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 4: in the dresser. He's going to be the same every

1277
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 4: game because he wants the guys to prepare the same

1278
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 4: for every game.

1279
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 3: Motivational fuel night with Will Borgan back in the House

1280
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 3: and the Crack, and they're going to have Ryan Lindgren

1281
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 3: facing his former team or he was a lynch pin

1282
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 3: on that back end for the first time since he

1283
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 3: was traded to Colorado also last year. And if Coppocco

1284
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 3: can find a way to get back and make that

1285
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 3: is season debut, the stories just right themselves.

1286
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 5: Sometimes I don't you know, I don't care if he

1287
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 5: is healthy enough just get him out there and get

1288
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:52,439
Speaker 5: him a couple of shifts. That's the feeling against the range,

1289
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 5: rop him and bubble rap firsh.

1290
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: How fun would that be?

1291
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 3: How fun would that be if the crack and are

1292
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 3: wearing that thing right behind me, that black third jersey.

1293
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 3: They look sharp. I've been waiting for a long time

1294
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: to see those things in game action.

1295
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got a you know, a lot going on

1296
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 5: around it too, Right, there's there's an intro, there's a

1297
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 5: special activations in the arena. We've added a ton of

1298
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 5: blue lights or black lights rather in the building to

1299
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 5: help make those things pop on the ice and in

1300
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 5: the stands. So if you're listening to this and you're

1301
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 5: you're you're trying to decide whether to pull the trigger,

1302
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 5: bang bang, pull the trigger, grab yourself a jersey, grab

1303
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 5: yourself a ticket, and we'll see you on Saturday.

1304
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 3: One thing I can easily say is that Milema mater

1305
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 3: Azusa Pacific black red and white colors. It's a natural match.

1306
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 5: It's the lunge and brown of the bowling. You can

1307
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 5: edit that part out, it's fine. I'm not sure the

1308
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 5: editors would really like that.

1309
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 3: Just roasting goes on in this podcast. Am I just

1310
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 3: stay in there, but it's gonna be a fun one again.

1311
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 3: Third Jersey gonna be unveiled again coming up this Saturday

1312
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 3: for game action against the New York Rangers. Before that

1313
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 3: special time puck drop Tuesday at seven point thirty Kraken

1314
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 3: Montreal take note. We're also gonna be at Tom's watch Bar.

1315
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 3: We'll be at Tom's watch Bar for postgame Allan myself

1316
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 3: come right in across the street, hang out with us.

1317
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 3: Tom's watch Bar the place to be beginning Tuesday. Let's

1318
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 3: go for a three Stars of the week right now

1319
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 3: before we get out of here.

1320
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 5: Ever, go ahead, So I think my first star, I

1321
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 5: mean it was a toss up, but I'm just gonna

1322
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 5: go what the way he has played and what he's

1323
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 5: my third star. Sorry, we'll go the other way. My

1324
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 5: third star, the fourth line. I'm going all three. I'm

1325
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 5: going I'm going Carts, I'm going Benny, and I'm going wins.

1326
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 5: Like those three guys, especially in the Winnipeg Edmonton games,

1327
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 5: were just huge for for this team. I think they

1328
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 5: tilted the ice against Winnipeg and you know Carts' goal

1329
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 5: that shift against the Oilers. They're my third Star of

1330
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 5: the week. My my second star of the week is

1331
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 5: uh Joey the court. He needed those two bounce backs

1332
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 5: from from Washington. I thought he got it vintage Joey

1333
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 5: in uh in in Winnipeg and then a really good

1334
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 5: strong performance against the Oilers. This one's hard for me

1335
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 5: my my first star of the week, because I think

1336
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 5: both contributed in in a variety of different ways. But

1337
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 5: I'm going to go with Jayden Schwartz barely barely over

1338
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 5: Jordan Everley because of how he played consistently throughout the week.

1339
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 5: He provided offense. He he he was the best player

1340
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 5: I felt for Seattle. Uh best skater for the Kraken

1341
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 5: I thought all week was was Schwartz. So those are

1342
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 5: my three stars. I got the fourth line at three,

1343
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 5: I got Joey at two, and I got Schwartz at one.

1344
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 5: But maybe it's half and then Ebbs of the other

1345
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 5: half and then they make up one star together. But

1346
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 5: that's those are my three and a half stars.

1347
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Schwartz third star. I love the leadership

1348
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 4: over the week from him. I love the two goals

1349
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 4: one assist he had in the Winnipeg game. Just you know,

1350
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 4: I don't think that game happens the way it does

1351
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 4: without without Jayden Schwartz. He's my third star for the week.

1352
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 4: Joey Decord is my second star. I love the bounce

1353
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 4: back from how things didn't go well at the start

1354
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 4: of week to how they how well they went for

1355
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 4: him in Winnipeg and obviously in the Edvonton game as well.

1356
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 4: So he's my second star and I gotta go. Jordan Eberley,

1357
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 4: the captain of this team, is my first star. His

1358
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 4: play throughout the weeks ending ending with the winn the

1359
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 4: win against Edmonton. The thing that pushed him to the

1360
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 4: first star for me was comment he made after the

1361
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 4: win versus Edmonton where he said, I still think this

1362
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 4: team has another level. And I don't know if he's

1363
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 4: saying that because of the injuries that are happening right now,

1364
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 4: or if everybody that's on the roster that's healthy right

1365
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 4: now has more to give, but I love hearing that

1366
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 4: from the captain.

1367
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 3: For me, my third star is going to go to

1368
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 3: Joey Decord, and for many of the reasons that you

1369
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 3: guys said, but I think to me, it really is

1370
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 3: a telltale sign of what kind of a competitor you

1371
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 3: have in a goaltender when he can bounce back after

1372
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 3: what was a dud against Philadelphia and find a way

1373
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 3: to do something that no one's done here to the

1374
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 3: Winnipeg Jets really in about two years and blank them

1375
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 3: on their own home ice. Then to do what he

1376
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 3: did as well against Edmonton. He outplayed Stewart Skinner. He

1377
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 3: was a big, big, big reason why the Kraken led

1378
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 3: in this game third period and also finished off the

1379
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 3: Edmonton Oilers.

1380
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 5: First shutout of the Jets at home for Winnipeg since

1381
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:02,759
Speaker 5: January of time twenty four. The twenty three twenty four

1382
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 5: season was the last time the Jets were shut out

1383
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 5: at home.

1384
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 4: Incredible, Yeah, awesome.

1385
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 3: Number two for me, it goes to Maddy Beneer's and

1386
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 3: I said again in the postgame show on Saturday, where

1387
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 3: Matty Beneers goes, this team will go as well. Two

1388
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 3: assists when he faced a ton of ice time against

1389
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 3: Connor McDavid, and he neutralized McDavid to the point where

1390
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 3: he looked very very very human. One shot on net,

1391
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 3: nothing on the score sheet, and got absolutely run over

1392
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,560
Speaker 3: at the face off circle. Matty Beaniers also would to

1393
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 3: assist in that game, won ten of fourteen faceoffs. Phenomenal

1394
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 3: work by the guy. We're at number ten. Took another

1395
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 3: big step and a big reason why the Kraken were

1396
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 3: in position to win that game. For me, my first

1397
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 3: start is a very emotional pick Brandon Montour, to be

1398
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 3: able to pick things right back up after what was

1399
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 3: an absolutely tough week. Fits you said a best I thought,

1400
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 3: we really don't know the gravity of what he's felt,

1401
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 3: and I don't think we ever ever will. But to

1402
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 3: find the right time to come back and to say

1403
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 3: I want to do this, but also be willing to

1404
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 3: speak about his brother for all the world to hear,

1405
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 3: and then come back in wearing his shirt before the game. Camstrong,

1406
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 3: our hearts go out to Brandon Montour. He's my pick

1407
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 3: here for our first start of the week. Fella's gonna

1408
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 3: wrap it up here.

1409
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 1: This was awesome.

1410
