1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike. Career back with cracking head coach Lane Lambert

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: LAANEA three two loss to Dallas the other night. Take

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: us through that game. Another close, tough, hard fought game

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: in with Seattle. Fill up short.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, that one I said it yesterday. That one

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: stung sat with me for a couple of days. You know,

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: we were we played, We played a good hockey game

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: for the most part. We made a couple of mistakes

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: that we can't make. And you know, there's there's mistakes

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: that you can live with and mistakes you can't live with.

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: And the couple of mistakes that that we made wear

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: mistakes that have our time living with. So uh, you know,

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: these are situations that we are very very aware of

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: how we need to play them. We didn't play them

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: that way, and that just is a real good lesson

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: for our players that you know, you never know what

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: five seconds is going to win or lose your hockey game.

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: And you know, we we made some mistakes that we

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: can't make and puck ends up in the back of

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: our net with you know, not much time left in

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: the third period.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Are you comfortable sharing what some of those mistakes are

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: and how you go about addressing those Is this an

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: on the bench in game? Is this in a practice adjustment?

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Is this a private meeting? How do you go about

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: trying to correct some of these mistakes that, in your words,

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: you can't be making.

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Well, there's you know, and again there's mistakes made all

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: the time, right So you know, like I say, if

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: a guy goes into the corner and he tries to

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: hit somebody like maybe Montour did against Miko Ratman, and

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Rattnan is a big, big guy and ends up, you know,

33
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: bouncing off him and taking the puck to the net.

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: I can live with that because Monty went in there.

35
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: He went in there with everything he had. And you

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: know there was another time in the game when Monty

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: went in there in the same way on Ratnan and

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: finished him off and the play was over. I can

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: live with those things. It's our systematical structural play that

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 2: I can't live with. And these are in game situations,

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: and definitely, you know yesterday's video session.

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming for Seattle. From an injury standpoint. Now,

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: Jaden Schwartz is out for a minimum of six weeks.

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: We know what he brings and his impossibility to replace him.

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: But how important is that next man up mentality? And

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: who are you looking towards to pick it up and

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: step up in his absence?

48
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think for me, Schwartz is a big loss,

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: perhaps you know, one of the biggest we've had because

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: his leadership in the locker room. So we need our

51
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: leadership group to step up, take that mentality that he

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: has and bring it to the group. You know what

53
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking specifically. You know, when things aren't going well,

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: he has a way and he leads by example. So

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: you know, from that standpoint, we need we need people

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: to step up to the plate. And it's not going

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: to be one person, it's not going to be two people.

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be a group, and we're going to

59
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: have to look for those leaders to come to the

60
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: plate in this situation.

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: In your media this morning, he said there's a very

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: good chance we see Coppolo cockle back here tonight this afternoon.

63
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: What does he bring back to the lineup that you

64
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: feel this group's been missing.

65
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he brings an element of strength around

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: the net. You know, he's for me, He hasn't played

67
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: many games this year, So again here's a guy who's

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: trying to catch a moving train here. And you know,

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: his lower body injury this time has limited him from

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: skating and keeping in proper condition. We feel like he's

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: in good condition, but you know, when he had the

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: upper body injury, you know, I think he was better

73
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: off coming back in that situation when he had you know,

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: had his legs. So what we need from him is

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: we need him keep his shift short. We need him

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: to go to the net. We need him to.

77
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Produce Oilers lost eight three on Monday or Tuesday to Dallas.

78
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Anyone who's watched this team play knows that's not the

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Edmondson Oilers and they're going to be coming in here

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: with a bit of a burr in their saddle here tonight.

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: What do you need to see from your group to

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: limit the opportunities from a team that is trying to

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: get back on the right track AD five hundred.

84
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: Record, Well, we have got to be ready to go

85
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: right from the start. They're going to be This is

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: no surprise. Shouldn't be a surprise for our hockey team.

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: Our team has been told to be ready very politely. Yeah,

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: And I mean, at the end of the day, they're

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: the ones that got to go out there and do

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: it right. So the Oilers are they're two time Stanley

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: Cup finalists. You know, I think you see teams that

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: maybe have gone through a couple of long postseason stretches,

93
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: maybe sort of struggle to find their way in the

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: first couple of months. This is a team that obviously

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: is a very very high obtained team. We have to

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: manage the puck and we have to be ready to go.

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: We can't turn tucks over and feed their transitioning
