1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike. Yes, we're back with Kraken head coach Lane

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Lambert following a thrilling three to two overtime win last night.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: You had to overcome a second consecutive third period deficit,

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: but you guys got back to your system and did

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: what makes you successful. Just take us through your thoughts

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: on that game.

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's I thought the game was. The first

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: period was a little a little bit back and forth,

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: you know. Again, second period we we had I thought

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: we were just okay in the second period, but you know,

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: to go down a goal, you know, we've made a habit,

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: and we don't want to continue to make a habit

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: of it, but we've made a habit a little bit

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: of coming back in games, which is really good to see.

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: You know what, shows our players are resilient and they believe.

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: So I was good to get the win.

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Philip Grubauer turned out another very strong performance. What have

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: you noticed about his game? And obviously you having not

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: been here and seen in the last few years, but

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: what have you thought of his progression this season and

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: how he's improved year over year?

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he's he's played well this year, you know, obviously, Uh,

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: and you know, for Groovy, I think he put in

24
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: a strong summer. I think he had a great attitude

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: coming in and you know it's shown, uh in his

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: play this year. So he was real good for us

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: last night. We needed him to be real good for us,

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: and he was. And uh, you know, I'm happy for him.

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Six years here in New York as an assistant and

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: a head coach, you were able to come back last

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: year as an assistant, but your first trip back as

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: a head coach here with Seattle. What is your time

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: on Long Island meant to you? And what can you

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: reflect about your time here that that helped you in

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: this role with Seattle.

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Well, my time in Long Island was outstanding. I mean

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: we had a lot of success here. Uh, you know,

38
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 2: two conference finals, you know, a game seven won, nothing

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: lost away from going to the Stanley Cup finals. You know,

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: just a lot of a lot of winning and uh,

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: you know, just a lot about you know, culture and

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: and doing the right things and so you know, really

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: enjoyed it opened this building up, was part of that

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: played at the coliseum, which was amazing in the playoffs.

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: A lot of good things and a lot of good

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: memories here.

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: What'd you learn about your time as a head coach

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: here with the Islanders that you've applied to this second

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: stent for you.

50
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: Now, well, I mean you guys have asked me this

51
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: question a few times, you know. I mean there's always

52
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: lessons that you learn and experiences that you have, and

53
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: you know, I just I just think that you know,

54
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: the second time around, you you take those lessons, you

55
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: take those experiences, you apply them and you try to

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: be better for them.

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: Like the West, the Eastern Conference very crowded, the Islanders

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: right in the thick of that playoff race. What about

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: them makes them so talented? Obviously Matthew Schaffer, the players

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: that they have. But what type of issues do you

61
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: think they can provide here tonight for your team?

62
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: Well, they have a bit of everything. They're heavy, you know,

63
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: Paul mary Lee upfront, their dynamic Barzel horror Vat Shaeffer

64
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: on the back end, and they're solid when you look

65
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: at Pella Pullock, you know their back end and their goaltending.

66
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: I think Riddick's play tonight, but he's good and Sir

67
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: Opan's outstanding. So they've got a good hockey team here

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: and they're doing a real nice job of playing fast

69
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: and you know, having their dejoin and and you know

70
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: be part of the offense.

71
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: And you know they're doing a real good job here.

72
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: It's another back to back for your group. How do

73
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: you what's the game plan going into this game to

74
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: carry that momentum over from these last two nights into

75
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: tonight and closing out the road trips strong.

76
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: Well, it's the same game plan as we had last night.

77
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: But we you know, we have to start well, we

78
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: have to take that momentum that we had in the

79
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: third period and carry it into the first period tonight.

80
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: I thought we had great momentum in Chicago. I didn't

81
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: necessarily know that we carried it into the first period

82
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: last night. So we've got to make sure we do that.
