I was a little bit late on and 177 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 6: I sincerely apologize for that to my wife and do 178 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 6: everyone out there, But no, so far, so good. 179 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 8: I came home to a kitchen full of coolers and 180 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 8: freezer bags because I have a fridge that is no 181 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 8: longer in order, but got to get twenty one years 182 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 8: out of it, so I can't. 183 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 6: Oh no, wow, oh no, that fridge owes you nothing. 184 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 8: That's right, that's right. I thanked it, I you know, 185 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 8: gave it a pound on the back, and we're going 186 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 8: to put it out the pasture. 187 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: Hey, sales crew, fridge fridge endorsement. Al Konski's right for one. 188 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go. All right, Well, where where where 189 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: were we? The Kraken have lost four out of the 190 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: last six games. But I mean, Fellas, I really think 191 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: context matters in this situation. I mean, coming out of 192 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: this back to back and we knew this was going 193 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: to be a massive talking point for the direction of 194 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: this sea. You face, Saint Louis, you were this close 195 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: to take in defeat and then rescue it from the 196 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: jaws of defeat, and then comes so close where to 197 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: the point you maybe got goal lead against Dallas and 198 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: with that a one and one split coming home. So 199 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: here's some food for thought on this and I want 200 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: to be careful because moral victories don't get your points. 201 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: But weigh in the scope of this weekend and this 202 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: happening now than say, versus in March. Would you rather 203 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: take a two and a weekend back to back yet 204 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: you're playing poorly, or rather are you taking one in 205 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: one and come out with a kind of effort they 206 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: got against Saint Louis and Dallas now coming home. 207 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 6: Well, Mike, first of all, you say they've lost four 208 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 6: of six. I say they have points in four of six. 209 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: Perspective perspective matters. 210 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, let's pert perspective for a second. I think I 211 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 6: understand the question that you're asking. But at the end 212 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 6: of the day, this is a result the business. I'd 213 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 6: rather have two bad wins than two perfect one nothing 214 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 6: losses or two to one losses. 215 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 7: You know, I do think that everything considered in back 216 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 7: to backs. 217 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 6: I mean that was the game against Dallas on Sunday. 218 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 6: I mean we're going on a year plus of the 219 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 6: losses in game twos of back to backs, and I 220 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 6: don't remember an effort ever like that in the second 221 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 6: game of a back to back. And I guess maybe 222 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 6: there's a little bit of solace there, even though you 223 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 6: didn't get the point from what we were told getting 224 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 6: on the bus and getting on the plane like that. 225 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 6: The team was very quiet and very somber after that 226 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 6: Dallas game, which I liked hearing because it lets me 227 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 6: know that they knew that they should have won that game. 228 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 6: They're not comfortable with just playing well. They want the 229 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 6: results too, So it was kind of a quiet flight 230 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 6: outside of a couple of small conversations and the obligatory 231 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 6: card game in the back. But I think guys realize that, 232 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 6: you know, the new standard is being set here in Seattle. 233 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 6: I think overall, for for what this team is and 234 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 6: where this team is, I would. 235 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 7: Say it's a successful weekend. 236 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 6: But to go back to the initial question, I would 237 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 6: have loved to have found a way to get one 238 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 6: point out of last night. I mean that that would 239 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 6: have just made it so much better. And I think 240 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 6: that's where the frustration lies. 241 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: I think going into the weekend, you know, we before 242 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: we get the news about Joey Decord, I think our 243 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: thoughts were, Okay, well, we've got these other two goaltenders. 244 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: They've got to play some games soon. Could it be 245 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: this weekend? 246 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 8: And then of course you get the news, you immediately assume, okay, 247 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 8: they're each going to get a game. 248 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: So despite the outcome. 249 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 8: Of the games, I think you can check a box 250 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 8: now that says you've seen Philip Gribauer and Matt Murray 251 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 8: both start games. Matt Murray with a nine percentage last 252 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 8: night and Grubauer with eight four to two in his 253 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 8: games or his game, both both of them playing well. 254 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 8: So I think we got the benefit of seeing both 255 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 8: of them this weekend because of the Joey to coord injury. 256 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 8: So I think that was good. I agree with Everett 257 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 8: that the effort that was put out in the Dallas 258 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 8: loss was I think the best effort in a second 259 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 8: of a back to back of all of the back 260 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 8: to backs we've seen since his team won a back 261 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 8: to back. So the effort was strong enough to win 262 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 8: the game, that the effort was strong enough to take 263 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 8: it to overtime. Unfortunately, as you say, Mikey, you got 264 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 8: goalie a little bit there. So I come out of 265 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 8: it with I'm happy that if you're going to lose, 266 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 8: you're gonna lose. Laying all your cards on the table, 267 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 8: and the guy certainly did last night. 268 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: See I brought this up on the other night here, 269 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: and we're noticing something maybe as far as period one 270 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: versus period two and period three. Everett, you talked about 271 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: this with Lane Lambert in your pregame conversation. But we're 272 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: sensing a pattern here, and I brought this up in 273 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: pregame coverage period two, period three. Previous four games combined, 274 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: the Crack can have allowed only twelve shots average twelve 275 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: shots period, period two, period three against Dallas the previous 276 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: night Stars seven shots in period two, seven shots in 277 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: period three. Guys are sensing a pattern as far as 278 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: how this team starts versus how things progress. 279 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 8: Well, I think the pattern is this team's down after 280 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 8: the first period in three of those four games. So 281 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 8: maybe the wake up call happens between the first and 282 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 8: second period and they come out guns of blazing in 283 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 8: that second. So you'd like to see that happen in 284 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 8: the first. But again, I think it's the it's the 285 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 8: identity of this team that they know that they can 286 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 8: play with any team. 287 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 3: In this league. 288 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 8: We've seen it already with some of the top teams, 289 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 8: and we saw it again last night despite the. 290 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: Eleven to one one record. 291 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 8: I think that the Krack can have with Dallas over 292 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 8: the last thirteen that the effort was strong enough to 293 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 8: be to be in the mix potentially come up with 294 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 8: a point. 295 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: Un firstly they didn't. 296 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I think so, and I am sensing a pattern. 297 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 6: You know, the team does. 298 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 7: Get better as games go along. 299 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 6: But I think with that with that same shot comparison, 300 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 6: they're allowing fewer shots, but they're also getting fewer shots 301 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 6: as well in third periods. And I think in more 302 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 6: more games that I had it written down, I think 303 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 6: five times this season now six times this season, the 304 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: Cracking have been limited to single digit shots in the 305 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 6: third period and they've had to they've had to survive 306 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 6: a push, and they've they've gone into you know, kind 307 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 6: of a I don't want to say a prevent defense 308 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 6: because they're not sitting back. They're still aggressive defensively, but 309 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 6: you know, you'd like to maybe see a little bit 310 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 6: more offensive push in the third period. 311 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 7: And I understand that. 312 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 6: You know, I'm going to contradict myself here because we 313 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 6: always say you only have to. 314 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 7: Win by one. 315 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: I get it, but if it's two to one or 316 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 6: three two going into the third, it would be nice 317 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 6: to find a way to maybe get an insurance goal 318 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 6: or put yourself ahead, give you a little bit more 319 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 6: breathing room, take some pressure off your goalies. 320 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 7: But this team, I do think. 321 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 6: Overall, has had a habit of getting better and playing 322 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 6: better as games have gone on. 323 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I bring this up here to you as 324 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: well because this is something important to talk about because 325 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: there's a way to manufacture offense, and then there's a 326 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: way to try to maybe I think go as far 327 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: as forcing offense. And there's a difference here because how 328 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: do you look at if you're down, what you need 329 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: to do to find ways to generate versus say cheating 330 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: flying the zone and now you're leaving your own defense 331 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: and structure at risk. 332 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's not doing what you just said. 333 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 3: They're flying the zone. 334 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 8: But I think this team is doing a better job 335 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 8: of controlling the play with the puck. You see it 336 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 8: in the Afterton zone when they get some sustained offensive 337 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 8: zone time. We will start to see players changing out 338 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 8: one at a time to be able to get five 339 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 8: fresh on the ice while they've got control. You see 340 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 8: it in the neutral zone when they need to make 341 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 8: a change and rather than dumping the puck into the 342 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 8: offensive zone or putting a puck on net just to 343 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 8: get a shot on goal. They'll move it back to 344 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 8: their defenseman. They'll change out those three forwards and then 345 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 8: they'll come down the ice at the defense wan will 346 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 8: change you got five. So that puck control is a 347 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 8: big factor in being intentional about their offensive chances this year, 348 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 8: which you didn't see as much last year. It was 349 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 8: just go to earth and off they went, and they 350 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 8: attacked and it was exciting and sometimes they work and 351 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 8: sometimes it didn't. This year it seems to be a 352 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 8: little bit more of a controlled approach, and I think 353 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 8: that controlled approach can sometimes lead its way into okay, well, 354 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 8: let's look for the perfect shot on net as well. 355 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 8: I think it's finding that balance between that perfect play, 356 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 8: that perfect shot, and then also sometimes like the goal 357 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 8: last night, Ad Marshall just fired at hard on the 358 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 8: net works is flashing through redirection. It's one nothing, cracking 359 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 8: piggybacking on that. 360 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 6: That's huge because I think too, right, especially against a 361 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 6: guy like Casey to Smith, you know, who was just 362 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 6: money lights out last night. 363 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 7: I look at the Connor Hellibooks of the world. 364 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 6: I look at Dan Vladar of all people, right, the 365 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 6: guys who who've had our numbers goalies that you have 366 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 6: to put up, you know, a lot of shots against 367 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 6: just to get one or two goals. I think it 368 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 6: is having a shot first mentality. You don't need the 369 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 6: right shot, you don't need a perfect shot. I think 370 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 6: you just need to get shots through. And I think 371 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 6: both teams last night didn't show any signs of fatigue. 372 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 6: You know, Al said during one of the breaks, you know, 373 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 6: dare I say this is a playoff atmosphere. 374 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 7: I was like, I know it was. 375 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 6: It was like easy there, cheap roly in game was 376 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 6: it game third fifteen? 377 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: But that's what the pace felt like. 378 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 6: The pace did feel like a playoff atmosphere. But no, 379 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 6: I think you're beg on I about the shot selection 380 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 6: and about this team sometimes being a little bit too choosy. 381 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: I want to go back to the Saint Louis game 382 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: because this is where victory was made possible when Chandler 383 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: Stevenson scored with zero point five seconds on the clock. Guys, 384 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: this is where we had to give props to broadcasters, 385 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: especially like you, to be able to contain yourselves, to 386 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: just describe what happened in incredible fashion, to tie that 387 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: game because it was the latest goal in cracking history 388 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: to tie a game. That being said, NetFront presence also ed, 389 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: z oh, yes, we gave your props right there made 390 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: this thing happen. Jordan Eberley was at the front of 391 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: the net checking social media. It was a firestorm for 392 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: everyone arguing for or against goal tender air interference. The 393 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: caller from the situation room stands. As this video review confirmed, 394 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: Jordan Eberley and his actions did not impair Joel Hofer's 395 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: ability to play his position in the crease. Hoefer came 396 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: way out as far as you could get, maybe to 397 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: that red line outside of the blue paint. And of 398 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: course in the final minute of play in period three, 399 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: at any point in overtime as well regular season in playoffs, 400 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: hockey operations will initiate the review of any situation that 401 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: would otherwise be subject to a coach's challenge. This is 402 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: where Toronto comes into play. But guys, the moral of 403 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: the story of this is getting very close down to 404 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: the point where I'm tired of trying to break down 405 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: goalie interference. It is so subjective and it feels like 406 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: one call that goes your way today may go the 407 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: other way the very next day. 408 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 6: Listen, I was JT and we JT and we were 409 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 6: talking about this after after the game, and you know, 410 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 6: if we're gonna call balls and strikes, I could have 411 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 6: gone either way on that. 412 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 7: Clearly happy that it went the Krakens way. 413 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 6: But listen the goaltend your interference rule, it's it's so gray. 414 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 7: It's such a gray area. And Alan and I were 415 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 7: talking about this, you. 416 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 6: Know, how do you effectively determine goalie interference? And my idea, 417 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 6: I don't care if you have your left pinky toe 418 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 6: in the crease. If any part of the goalie is 419 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 6: in the crease and you touch the goalie without being 420 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 6: pushed by an opposing player, then that's interference. Boba played dead, 421 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 6: it's a penalty or something. But no, I think that 422 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 6: I see both sides of that play. You know, it 423 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 6: was already on that side. I don't think it. I 424 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 6: don't I don't think, in my opinion, I don't think 425 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 6: that Everly was there to It didn't disrupt the play 426 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 6: at all. 427 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 7: I thought the puck was clearly on its. 428 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 6: Way in before Everily even had a chance to get 429 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 6: the stick there. It wasn't like he was he was, 430 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 6: The shot was lowder, the ice was over the shoulder, right, 431 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 6: So I see it. 432 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 7: But no, I'm with you. The goaltender interference conversation. 433 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 6: We can spend an entire show talking about what is 434 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 6: or what isn't goalie. 435 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 7: Interference, But it was. It was one that went the 436 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 7: other way. 437 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 6: But I guarantee you twenty games from now, that same 438 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 6: thing's going to happen, and it's going to go against 439 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 6: the Kraken and we're going to be on here spitting 440 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 6: firestone for the exact same reason. 441 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 3: Well not only that. 442 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 8: Too, but you know, we have the benefit of seeing 443 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 8: the slow mow replace And when you look at the 444 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 8: overhead cam of that shot, everybody's got his back to 445 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 8: the goal and he spins around, I think, to get 446 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 8: out of the way of the shot, like he had 447 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,719 Speaker 8: nothing to do with. Maybe I'll clip the goalie stick 448 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 8: and try and interfere with him. It wasn't that it 449 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 8: was spinning around. And to be able to catch the 450 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 8: inside of your heel on the toe of the blade 451 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 8: of the goaltender stick, that that's unintentional contact. Yes, you 452 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 8: know when you see top and you see gloves and 453 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 8: pushes and shoulders and that's a very different situation. Doesn't 454 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 8: mean it wouldn't be called. I still think it was 455 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 8: a fifty to fifty call. But when you look at 456 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 8: that and you say was it intentional? 457 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 3: No? 458 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 8: Was he trying to get out of the way, Yes, 459 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 8: I think that had a lot to do with how 460 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 8: they ended up calling it a goal. 461 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: And listen, we will gladly explain goals under interference each 462 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: and every day. We're trying to course educate new hockey 463 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: fans here. But folks, again, this is the most subjective 464 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: rule in the rule book here. Let's just get this 465 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: one thing clear. 466 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 7: Like I said, listen, you're a goalie. 467 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 6: You put any any part of your body is touching 468 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 6: the blue paint, black and white. 469 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 7: Blow it dead, don't care. 470 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 3: Move on. 471 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 7: I'm tired of all these ten. 472 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 6: Minute reviews in game twenty of the season that don't matter. 473 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: Just what I'm going to fix it, Just take it 474 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: all out. There is no goal out right. 475 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: Hey, listen, we can only hear tell me something good 476 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: on loop over and over and over. When it gets 477 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: to be like the third like loop of the song, 478 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: we know what's going on too long? Now, that's not 479 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: Why don't we talk about Berkeley Catton, who is now 480 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: here for ten games, and we presume, going on now 481 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: eleven the first year of his contract officially has kicked 482 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: in which many people now presume, Okay, he's good to 483 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: go now, Well, not so fast yet, we're gonna hear 484 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: that confirmation maybe maybe not here, whether he has been 485 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: told to go officially get an apartment now. There is 486 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: still more of a chance here to give him an 487 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: AHL conditioning stint where he could get more playing time, 488 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: play further up the lineup consistently, and then also the 489 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: World Juniors right around the corner for him. But what 490 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: have we learned about about Berkeley Catton so far through 491 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: ten games, and maybe how long he could be staying 492 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: here added to where he fits in this lineup? 493 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 6: I think for me, you know, it goes back to 494 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 6: what we said last week, and I don't think my 495 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 6: position has changed. I think that he has shown that 496 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 6: he can play in this league. You know, now again, 497 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 6: am I ready to put him on my top line 498 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 6: eighty two nights a year? 499 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 7: Probably not, But I. 500 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 6: Mean he he has earned a place in the lineup 501 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 6: wherever that place is in the lineup. I still think 502 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 6: that every game we see another good piece of his game. 503 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 6: We see another step taken in terms of his maturation 504 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 6: to becoming you know, an NHL. 505 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 7: You know, a good NHL player. 506 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 6: And I don't think there's been any glaring holes, at 507 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 6: least for me in his game outside of the typical 508 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 6: nineteen year old mistakes that he's going to make. Having 509 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,479 Speaker 6: played only ten games in the NHL. I'm not gonna. 510 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna to harp and kill the kid because 511 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 6: he serves up a pizza through the middle that would 512 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 6: have easily gotten through in juniors. Right, You're still trying 513 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 6: to learn this game, You're trying to learn the speed. 514 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 6: So I don't have any problem with it. I think 515 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 6: I like him here, and you're right, you get him 516 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 6: the World Juniors. But just because he goes to World 517 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 6: Juniors doesn't mean that you can't get him back. He 518 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 6: can go to World Juniors and then come back here. 519 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 6: He doesn't always have to go back to Spokane. But 520 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 6: I think that that he's fine here. He's playing well, 521 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 6: and until I think there is there is an obvious 522 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 6: gap or an obvious drop off in his game, I mean, 523 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 6: keep sending him out there. 524 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: Alt this up for you in just the fact that 525 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: he was on the ice for Chandler Stevenson's game tying goal. 526 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: Now you earn the trust of Lane Lambert, who you 527 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: got to earn a lot of trust in those key situations. 528 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: That says a lot. Where Berkeley Catton is getting high 529 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: leverage ice time to go out there for a game 530 00:26:59,080 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: tying goal. 531 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 8: Well, not only was he out there for that game 532 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 8: time goal in Saint Louis, he was out there in 533 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 8: the last couple of minutes of the Dallas game as well. 534 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 8: So clearly Lane Lambert believes this is a guy that 535 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 8: could be a difference maker when you're when you're looking 536 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 8: for a goal late in the game. But Mike, your 537 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 8: question was, what have we learned about Berkeley Catton. Well, 538 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 8: we already knew he was a fantastic hockey player. We 539 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 8: already knew he was worthy of of of the pick 540 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 8: that the Kracken made in the in the in the 541 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 8: first round for him. 542 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 3: I think what we're. 543 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 8: Learning is that as good as he is, he's still 544 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 8: got some growing, some growth He's got to grow into 545 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 8: becoming an NHL player. Well, you can't do that in Spokane. 546 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 8: You probably can't even do that at World Juniors. As 547 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 8: the lead as that hockey is, you've got to play. 548 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 8: And I think that's why we're going to see him 549 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 8: here for the majority of the rest of the season. 550 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 6: And I will I'll say this too, you know, I 551 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 6: think we're all we're all acting like World Juniors is 552 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 6: a foregone conclusion. 553 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 7: The Kraken control. 554 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 6: Ye wait, right, so Berkeley Catton because of he's earned 555 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 6: it or because of injuries and they have no choice 556 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 6: but to play him every night. We get to World 557 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 6: Juniors and Berkeley Catton has played thirty games? How many 558 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 6: games we have left to the Worlds? 559 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 7: Right? 560 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 5: Like? 561 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 6: I mean, if I'm the Kraken, am I like? Do 562 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 6: I really want to send him to Worlds. 563 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 7: For four weeks and do all that? 564 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 6: Look at what happened to Matthew Shaeffer last year, right, 565 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 6: kid breaks his leg and he's out. 566 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: For uh, we don't know how long. Jared McCann's gonna 567 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: be out, and Freddi Goodrou is still quite a ways away. 568 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 6: Absolutely, so I think that we're sitting here thinking that 569 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 6: World Juniors is a foregone conclusion. I think the Kraken 570 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 6: would like to give him that opportunity. I think he 571 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 6: would like that opportunity. But you know, there's no guarantee 572 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 6: that Berkeley Catton is gonna be playing in Worlds this December. 573 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 6: They could say, hey, kid, we need you here, and 574 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 6: we only have four days off for Christmas. Go home, 575 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 6: take a break, get your books in town, do something. 576 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 6: Uh but but we need you ready for for games 577 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 6: in January. 578 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: Here's one guy the crack and would love to really 579 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: get going, but he showed some pretty impressive signs that 580 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: he's perhaps getting it in gear. And that's Mason Marchman 581 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: against Dallas from the other night. And here's Mason march 582 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: Mitt and his reaction after the game meeting with the media. 583 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 9: Good to get the you know, some juices going again 584 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 9: and you know, you know, maybe prove them wrong or whatever. 585 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 9: But uh yeah, just I thought our team played a 586 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 9: good game, and we competed all night and Murray played 587 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 9: awesome probably huge save, so you know it's a tough loss, 588 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 9: but uh, you know we can build off that for sure. 589 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 6: What's up? 590 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 7: Did you think you might have had one time goal there? 591 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? 592 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, I just tried to get it off quick and 593 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 9: low and uh fivefole and he came across his legs closed, 594 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 9: so it was a great say by case Sar. 595 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: So it was pretty apparent that Mason Marchmant was very, 596 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: very motivated to face his former team. He told us 597 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: he had this date circle on the calendar way back 598 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: in the preseason at media Day. But one goal right 599 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: now in fourteen games. How what can we take away 600 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: from the Dallas game that Mason Marchmant needs more of 601 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: consistently here moving ahead? 602 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think we saw his best game 603 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: to date. Hands down. We saw what I think. 604 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 8: The Kraken expect to get out of Mason Marshmot. He 605 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 8: had four hits in the game, He had four shots 606 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 8: on goal. You heard of him talking about that opportunity 607 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 8: to get one there. He was involved during the play, 608 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 8: he was involved after the play. He was getting in 609 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 8: guys faces, like without taking penalties. I think that's the 610 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 8: sand papery Mason Marchman. It was some offensive power guy 611 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 8: that we're looking to see every game going forward. 612 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think for me, you know, not trying 613 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 6: to go uh full Bob Staffer here. 614 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 7: For the Edmonton Oilers. 615 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 6: And if you don't know what I'm talking about, go 616 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 6: on the Oilers Daily onto Yeah, find Bob. 617 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 7: Just search Bob Stoffer. 618 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: He burned my phone up by the way, trying to 619 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: listen to that. Yeah, I need a new phone now. 620 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 6: So not trying to go full Bob Stoffer, but I 621 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 6: think we've seen that he's capable of playing at this level, 622 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 6: like Al said, and I think that, you know, if 623 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 6: I'm being honest, I felt like, you know, he's got 624 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 6: he's got more to give, right, And we saw what 625 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 6: he can do and what he's capable of, and I'm 626 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 6: with you, that was his best game to date for 627 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 6: the cracket this year. 628 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 7: So I think if if we can see him continue. 629 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 6: To play that way, you know, being hard, going to 630 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 6: the dirty areas and not you know, not not scoring 631 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 6: and and and contributing to the offense, I think you're 632 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 6: gonna you have a good player in Mason Marshman. And 633 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 6: I'm hoping that that game unlocked a big piece of 634 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 6: his game moving forward. 635 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: We have the home stand coming up here where are 636 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: the Crack and we'll face a Columbus Blue Jackets tomorrow night, 637 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: Winnipeg's second matchup of the season San Jose as well 638 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and we're gonna hear from Dan Ruzanowski in 639 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: our conversation in just a little bit of course, long 640 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: time Hall of Fame radio voice for the Sharks on 641 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: that side. But if there's one thing I think we 642 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: learned again we touched on this earlier from last home stand, 643 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: applied for this homestand the Kraken back home in their 644 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: own home building in front of a very very boisterous crowd. 645 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: You've got to start fast. 646 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I think I think that's that's gonna be key. 647 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 3: Right. 648 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 6: The Kraken finally won a game this season when they've 649 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 6: allowed the game's first goal, so scoring first is key 650 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 6: for Seattle. They got the four to three overtime win 651 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 6: in Saint Louis and that was their first win of 652 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 6: the season, win trailing, you know, won nothing, So you. 653 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 7: Have to start fast. 654 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 6: The schedule for the kracking, you know, we talked about 655 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 6: how it's a lot easier in uh in November rather 656 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 6: than then maybe it will in October. 657 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 7: But you're getting to. 658 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 6: A pretty difficult portion of the schedule coming up. 659 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 7: You know, You've got this this homestand. 660 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 6: Now you go on the road for four games out 661 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 6: East against you know, competition that are I would say, 662 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 6: in the same sandbox as you. But then you come 663 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 6: back home, and you've got a couple against Edmonton. You've 664 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 6: got I want to say, Utah's in there, la Anaheim 665 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 6: are in there. I think there's a Vancouver in there. 666 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 6: Maybe all of those games coming up before Christmas. So 667 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 6: you've got some pretty big games coming up before the 668 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 6: Christmas break. So over these next four weeks three weeks, 669 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 6: you want to try to bank as many of these 670 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 6: points as possible and starting fast. Winning your home games 671 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 6: are going to be a pretty you know, good good 672 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 6: way to do that. 673 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think that you see above, the play 674 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 8: of Mason Marshman can factor into that. I think that 675 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 8: what we talked about with goaltending. If we're not going 676 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,239 Speaker 8: to see Joey Decord for a while, we don't know, 677 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 8: But if we're not, then the way Matt Murray played 678 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 8: last night and the way Grubauer played, I think that's 679 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 8: going to factor into the success as team can have 680 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 8: between now and Christmas. 681 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: All right to the Beacon Plumbing Hotline, we go. Always 682 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 1: a pleasure to have him with us. Hall of Fame 683 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: radio voice Dan Ruzanowski of the Sharks Audio Network. Dan, 684 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: good to see you a few days ago back here 685 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: in Seattle. Looking forward to the next one already here. 686 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: But I want to first begin just from the first 687 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: time that these two teams met. What surprised you most 688 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: may be about the Sharks start here to this season. 689 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 5: Well, I think that it's taken a little while for 690 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 5: all things to start to piece together. I think that's 691 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 5: been part of the story, and we have to keep 692 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 5: reminding ourselves how many different players are on the roster, 693 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 5: and that probably led to the somewhat slow beginning. It 694 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 5: was getting a little bit tiresome in San Jose, simply 695 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 5: because the last three years it's been really tough in 696 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 5: the month of October, and so there was a kind 697 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 5: of a feeling of, oh no, here we go again. 698 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 5: Very very quickly things started to dissipate in that direction. 699 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 5: The Sharks started to, you know, show what they are 700 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 5: made of. And I think that they're only right now 701 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 5: beginning to really feel that they're in a position to 702 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 5: have a home iice advantage, to make sure that they 703 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 5: can compete against anybody. And with recent results, I think 704 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 5: they've done a really good job against top teams, and 705 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 5: I think all of that is lent to the confidence 706 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 5: of the team. But then you throw on what Macklin 707 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 5: Celebrini's doing at age nineteen. You know, you usually look 708 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 5: at players and you say, Okay, he's a young guy, 709 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 5: and he's scoring a lot of points, right, great, well 710 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 5: most of the time, if you take a look at 711 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 5: it and you break it down between home and road, 712 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 5: usually that you know the young guy will get a 713 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 5: lot of points at home, won't score as much on 714 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 5: the road because they don't have the matchups, you don't 715 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 5: have the last change, and a whole variety of other factors. Macklin, 716 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 5: Celebrini's leading the National Hockey League and scoring on the 717 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 5: road at age nineteen, and that's just sort of testimony 718 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 5: to what he's meant to the team and how things 719 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 5: are clicking for him and how we're looking at the 720 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 5: development of a next great era of unbelievable superstar in 721 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 5: the league. 722 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: I remember having a conversation with you with Randy Han 723 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: when you guys were here, and I think it just 724 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: kind of shed more light as far as just the 725 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: potential he's got, but already how special of to start 726 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: that he is up to. So before we touch more 727 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: on that, I can't help but think after the winless streak, 728 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: you guys go into New York and get a game 729 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: into overtime, win a Celebrini hat trick five point game, 730 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: and then the win for instance against New Jersey, a 731 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: team that is rolling right now under Sheldon Keith. Was 732 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: there a specific game that you really began to see 733 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 1: the pieces begin to really fall into place it for 734 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: this team. 735 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 5: I'd say probably that road trip. I'd say probably that 736 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 5: gamer reference to Madison Square Garden is probably the best 737 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 5: example because in that amazing atmosphere, with that spotlight on 738 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 5: the team, the Sharks rose to the occasion. It wasn't 739 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 5: just Celebrini and we shouldn't, you know, we do need 740 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 5: to see his praises and talk about what he's meant 741 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 5: to the club and what he's going to mean in 742 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 5: the future, not only to this club but to the 743 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 5: game of hockey. But also you know, the players like 744 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 5: Will Smith and Mario Ferrero and Colin Graff, and you know, 745 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 5: I can go through the entire roster. Both goaltenders started 746 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 5: to play quite well. That was another thing too. It 747 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 5: took a while for both goaltenders to start to really 748 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 5: really click. And I think that game Madison Square Garden 749 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 5: was a big one because it was in the big 750 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 5: spotlight that they performed, and after that they had some 751 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 5: confidence and they said, Okay, we can do this. They 752 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 5: had a few other challenges. I think that you know 753 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 5: that that has developed, and you know that sort of 754 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 5: is blossomed really with the first meeting in Seattle where 755 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 5: you know, the Sharks. The morning of that of that game, 756 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 5: we're not expecting to play seven defensemen and eleven forwards. 757 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 5: They were expecting to play a standard six d and 758 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 5: twelve forwards. Michael Misa got dinged up in the morning skate, 759 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 5: so they called Vinnie Deharna and after you know, they 760 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 5: started really bag skating him and they said, well, you're 761 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 5: going to have to You're gonna have to in a 762 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 5: little earlier because you think you might have to play. 763 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,439 Speaker 5: He ends up playing really well in the penalty kill. 764 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 5: And I think that they were very prepared special teams 765 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 5: against that team, So every time they had something thrown 766 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 5: at them, they seem to respond to it and do 767 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 5: it with enthusiasm and accept that challenge instead of letting 768 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 5: the challenges get to them. And I think that's sort 769 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 5: of a description of the way the season is going. 770 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 8: Dan talk a little bit about the culture of this team, 771 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 8: the personality if you will. You know, from the outside 772 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 8: looking in, it seems like a bunch of guys that 773 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 8: obviously take their jobs very seriously, but don't take themselves 774 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 8: very seriously. They keep things light. At a chance to 775 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 8: be between the benches last night, and you know, it 776 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 8: wasn't just towards the end of the game when it 777 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 8: was certainly out of hand for the cracking, but you 778 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 8: could see it throughout the game. A lot of smiles 779 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 8: on the bench, you know, talk a little bit about that. 780 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 5: Well, I think that that's a big part of it. 781 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 5: You know. Larry Robinson used to always tell us back 782 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 5: in the day that one of the keys to all 783 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 5: of the Stanley Cup championships that he won, not only 784 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 5: as a player but later on the coach or a 785 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 5: member of management, was because they remember that it was 786 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 5: just the game and that they have to have fun 787 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 5: playing the game. And you know, Igor Larryanoff used to 788 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 5: always tell us, you don't work hockey, you play hockey, 789 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 5: and that's the side of it that you have to 790 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 5: remember about this game. That's really important. So you probably 791 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 5: saw that on the bench. They've got an element of that. 792 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 5: Of course, they've got prodigious talent to be able to 793 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 5: back it all up. But then again, behind the bench, 794 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 5: you've also got Ryan Warsowsky who understands this generation quite well. 795 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 5: He's a very young coach in the National Hockey League 796 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 5: and he seems to get the best out out of 797 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 5: that group of people. And you know, we saw what 798 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 5: he's already done with Team USA and the World Championships, 799 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 5: winning a gold medal too, So you know that's another 800 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 5: factor that's important. 801 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: Dan touching on Maclin celebrating more, We've heard a lot 802 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: of the supplieratives already about the comparisons his game, But 803 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: what do you see right now with where he's at 804 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 1: in just his nineteen year old season versus say, when 805 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: he he could be, you know, peaking topping out of 806 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: say twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven years of age. 807 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 5: Sky's a limit for the kid. He can do everything. 808 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 5: He does it in all three zones, and he does 809 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 5: it with a joy about the game that's very infectious. 810 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 5: He gets people to follow him as he drives the 811 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 5: energy and the level of the team. When things aren't 812 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 5: going well, he plays with a great competitiveness to try 813 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 5: to get things back under control. And all of these 814 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 5: things are things that are just starting to develop. I 815 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 5: think just before we played, you know, we said we 816 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 5: had we played the game between the Sharks and the Kraken. 817 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 5: There was a back to back set of games against 818 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,720 Speaker 5: Colorado against Detroit where the Sharks beat Colorado on overtime. 819 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 5: Next game they were playing against the Red Wings, and 820 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 5: through that entire game, he and Maurit Sider had an 821 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 5: unbelievable back and forth, Batley going intensely at it, and 822 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 5: he just put his arms around that and absolutely loved it, 823 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 5: and his teammates loved it too. 824 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 2: You know. 825 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 5: Of course, he was doing that with the knowledge that 826 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 5: if things ever he did get out of hand. Number one, 827 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 5: he was showing Detroit that he wasn't going to put 828 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 5: up with that. But number two, he showed confidence that 829 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 5: his teammates would would be right there to back him up, 830 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 5: which of course they would be. So I think it's infectious. 831 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's fun, and it's spectacular. 832 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: When it comes to Will Smith, who has been you know, 833 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: along his side basically here for the last couple of 834 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: years and a big part of this score. I mean, 835 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of the skill that was on 836 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: display here for the first game between these two teams 837 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: in Seattle again. But you know, I kind of asked 838 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 1: a similar question previously with Mattlan celebrating, But is there 839 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: anybody you've seen prior, whether it might be on the 840 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: Sharks or in the NHL that kind of reminds you 841 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:40,919 Speaker 1: of Will Smith in his game. 842 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 5: Not really. He's got a combination of a lot of 843 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,800 Speaker 5: different types of players. I think the biggest thing that 844 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 5: he has is an incredibly high hoy iq. He knows 845 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,720 Speaker 5: where the puck is going. I don't know how he does. 846 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,479 Speaker 5: He has sort of a premonition as to where things 847 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 5: are going to happen. He puts himself into a position 848 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 5: because he's able to buy more time for himself. He 849 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 5: makes himself appear faster than perhaps the actual reality is. 850 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 5: And I think that that's really important. But there's another 851 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 5: factor about Will Smith too that has nothing to do 852 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 5: about hockey, and that has to do with the fun 853 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 5: part we were just talking about. I think that Macklin 854 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 5: is just very serious, very driven, very into it, and 855 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 5: yes he's got a great personality, but Will brings out 856 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 5: the lighter side in Macklin, and I think Macklin brings 857 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 5: out a more serious side and Will So it's really 858 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 5: an interesting combination. You know, when you're trying to put 859 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 5: together a great team, every club needs a Batman and 860 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,959 Speaker 5: a Robin, and it looks like the Sharks have both 861 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 5: of those superheroes on their roster. 862 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 8: Talk a little bit about and I've read this, I've 863 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 8: got to believe it's true. But talk a little bit 864 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 8: about the living situation with Macklin Celebrity. I understand he 865 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 8: might have a roommate from a former Shark. 866 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 5: Well, it's not just Macklin, it's a whole group of 867 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 5: him now. So Macklin Celebrini lives with Joe Thornton, Hall 868 00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 5: of Famer, somebody that also knew exacts actly how to 869 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 5: approach day to day life and knew how to enjoy 870 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 5: the game. Will Smith lives with Patrick Marlowe, which I 871 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 5: think is an interesting in combination. Joe Thornton was number 872 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 5: one overall, so he knows exactly what Maclin is going through. 873 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 5: He understands all the pressures. He played in Boston played 874 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 5: for the Sharks, always had the weight of the world 875 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 5: and his shoulders, and on the other side of it, 876 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 5: Patrick Marlo was always kind of that second guy, even 877 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 5: though he was a you know, superstar. He's likely going 878 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 5: in the Hockey Hall of Fame too. He was always 879 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 5: sort of in the shadow of Joe Thornton is the 880 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 5: second overall guy, and Will Smith is sort of in 881 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 5: that area right now too, so it's really interesting to 882 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 5: see how those guys have combined together. The third kind 883 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 5: of leg of that appears to be Michael Misa, who 884 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 5: now was eighteen years of age, I guess is spending 885 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 5: a lot of time with the Tyler Tiffoli family. So 886 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 5: you know, another veteran player who's been through everything. He's 887 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 5: won a Stanley Cup. And these kids are really benefiting 888 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 5: from the fact that their living situations are like that. 889 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 5: Think about it when you know, if I were nineteen 890 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 5: years old and I were out in the NHL and 891 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 5: you gave me a million dollars, I'd probably be dead 892 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 5: right now. But these guys are so, you know, such 893 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 5: great shape, pardon me, and and they're they're they're really uh, 894 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 5: they're really amazingly qualified. But they have that balance. 895 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: With these players, I can't imagine what I would want 896 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: to do at nineteen years of age with a million 897 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 1: dollars in anywhere I would want to live or anywhere 898 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: I'd want to go. It'd be a scary combination here. 899 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 1: But that's what but surety is for when you grow 900 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,760 Speaker 1: up here a little bit more, Dan. 901 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 5: I want to ask you about remember this. Remember this 902 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 5: one thing too that it's really important to add to 903 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 5: that is that, you know, we joke about a little 904 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 5: of that, but the truth is they are still kids 905 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 5: and part of them they are you know, you see 906 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,560 Speaker 5: that off the ice, but on the ice they're total pros. 907 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 5: But you have to remember that, you know, the process 908 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 5: of becoming a full fledged adult is a is a 909 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,439 Speaker 5: sometimes like a stock market chart. You have some moments 910 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 5: where things go right and they don't. So it's great 911 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 5: to have people around you that show you the right way. 912 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,959 Speaker 5: I mean, the biggest thing for me is that number 913 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 5: one to Bee of Thornton, Joe's wife is an awesome cook, 914 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 5: Christina Marlow makes the food like nobody else. So they're 915 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 5: getting proper nutrition, and they're getting proper guidance with sleep, 916 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 5: and they're also getting guidance between with men that have 917 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 5: their own families, that care about their kids, that spend 918 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 5: a lot of time away from the rink with their 919 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 5: children and take that responsibility and I think that that's 920 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 5: just a great example for any of these people. 921 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 8: It sounds like there's a lot of focus on the 922 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 8: off ice stuff. What about the on ice stuff like 923 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 8: Jumbo and Marlow reviewing tape with them at home or 924 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,399 Speaker 8: they leave that stuff alone. 925 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 5: No, they probably do spend a little bit of time 926 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 5: talking about things like that with them, but I think 927 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 5: it's a little bit less organized when it comes to that. 928 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 5: You know, maybe if these guys ask them the question. 929 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 5: You know, both Joe Thornton and Patrick Martin were part 930 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 5: of the Sharks development staff and that's officials this year. 931 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 5: With Joe Thornton, once he got into the Hall of 932 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 5: Fame and so forth, we used to call him the 933 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 5: director of Vibes with the Sharks. I'm not sure if 934 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 5: he still has that sort of unofficial title, but he's 935 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 5: part of the development staff. Patrick Martl is a development 936 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 5: coach and they spend a lot of time with a 937 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 5: lot of the young prospects in the organization. And you know, 938 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 5: the way it's worked is, you know, they go back 939 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 5: and they might even talk to a kid that's playing 940 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 5: junior and watch him play a little bit. And we've 941 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 5: got another group of people, Tommy Wingles, Lucas Spik's people 942 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 5: that have had long careers that spend a lot of 943 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 5: time with these young players. And even in the goaltending department. 944 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 5: You again, you to back office, the director of goaltending, 945 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 5: but they've got Ryan Miller out there scouting future goaltender 946 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 5: prospects for the Sharks. And I think that it's very 947 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 5: organized to make sure that they have the tools that 948 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 5: are necessary for these kids to succeeds. Yeah, they are, 949 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 5: and they you know, if I had somebody like that 950 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,399 Speaker 5: to be like Yoda, you know, I'm saying that these 951 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 5: guys really understand what needs to be done, and you know, 952 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 5: they are also there for when things don't go well. 953 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 5: I think that might even be the most important thing, 954 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 5: because you know, they have to be reminded that yes, 955 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 5: they're going to have great careers, yes that you know, 956 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 5: they need to feel really good about themselves. 957 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: We have a Star Wars reference now checked and we 958 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: can also can say Patrick Marlow, I've mentioned here on 959 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: this conversation with Al Koniski to former Seattle Thunderbirds check 960 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: as well for that reference. Andrew Zanowski joining us here 961 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 1: on the Beacon Plumbing hotline, and Dan Last couple of 962 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,799 Speaker 1: things before we let you go here. Yeah, check. I mean, 963 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: once upon a time the San Jose Sharks, an infant 964 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: organization coming out of the cal Palace looking to grow 965 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,720 Speaker 1: the game in San Jose, and the ninety two massive 966 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: Playoff runs. And now you have players like Joe Thornton 967 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 1: from London, Ontario is ticking around, Patrick Marlow as well, 968 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: and the bakav that you mentioned, Tommy Wingles. What's the 969 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: what's what's the common uniting theme here with what has 970 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 1: now attracted players to stay and build a greater foundation 971 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: in San Jose, kind of like what the Kraken want 972 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 1: to be, you know, years upon years down the road. 973 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 5: It takes a long time to do that. And of 974 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 5: course you also have the added factor. You have two 975 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 5: things going on here. Number one, no offense to any 976 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 5: place else, but we really believe Northern California is the 977 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 5: best place to live in the world. There are the 978 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 5: cost of living issues certainly that get involved, the cost 979 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 5: of housing, so forth and so on, but the facilities 980 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 5: are great, the weather is beautiful, and the one thing 981 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 5: that we've always said is that the guy's wives and 982 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 5: girlfriends really love it in Northern California. So that's all 983 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,799 Speaker 5: check marks in favor. But what you're talking about, too 984 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 5: is the development of the game. Scott Hannon, who's another 985 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 5: former Shark, another former Western Hockey leaguer, ended up he's 986 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,879 Speaker 5: run now running the junior Sharks program, and so that's 987 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 5: a real upgrade in terms of the total overview of 988 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 5: the coaching and working with the kids. I think that 989 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 5: the goal is to make the Sharks junior program here 990 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 5: stronger as time goes on. What's happened over years, and 991 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 5: what happens oftentimes with young kids is they get to 992 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 5: be about fifteen. This was the tradition in the in 993 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 5: the northern California area. You become really good and then 994 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 5: you leave. Well, now they want to make it so 995 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 5: that they can stay and you've got more people sticking around. 996 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 5: You know, you remember a few years ago, I think 997 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 5: it was one year, I can't remember the exact year, 998 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 5: but four people were drafted in the first round and 999 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 5: they were all from the Saint Louis area. Well, that's 1000 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 5: because of all of those guys that's stuck around to 1001 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 5: Saint Louis and now are coaching all these kids. And 1002 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 5: I think that that's the kind of direction we like 1003 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 5: to see things going here. Most of it still is 1004 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 5: with the you know, the NHL team's development staff and 1005 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 5: so forth. But you know, Mark Smith lives here. He's 1006 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 5: involved in coaching girls and guys in the junior Sharks program. 1007 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 5: Scott Hannon is here. There are a number of other 1008 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 5: people that have stuck around, and I think it creates 1009 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 5: a great atmosphere for the future. 1010 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: Dan, you had the Jets schedule here obviously, so I 1011 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 1: mean we can't talk about what you've seen as far 1012 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,399 Speaker 1: as when we have you know, this conversation translate into 1013 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: when it's going to go live and I'll kind of 1014 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: market here. But what's your general perception about the Jets 1015 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,439 Speaker 1: and about the kind of potential that they have again 1016 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:15,879 Speaker 1: this year? 1017 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 5: Well, this upcoming group of games for the Sharks is 1018 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 5: a really important set of games, not only to keep 1019 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 5: going what they've got going right now, where they're playing 1020 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 5: pretty consistent hockey in which they're responding to challenges, getting 1021 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 5: good goaltending, you know, getting better as the games go 1022 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,240 Speaker 5: on and so forth, but they've also got to establish 1023 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 5: a really strong home ice advantage and they really need 1024 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 5: to do that. And I think that being able to 1025 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 5: do that against a team like Winnipeg, a team like 1026 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 5: Florida coming up. You got one team, Florida that's the 1027 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 5: Stanley Cup champion. But you've got Winnipeg, I think, is 1028 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 5: a team that's maybe the best team that hasn't won 1029 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 5: the Stanley Cup. I mean, they've got just about everything 1030 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 5: on their roster. Now, they've got Jonathan Taves there to 1031 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 5: provide some veteran leadership. You know, you've already got Mark Schifeley, 1032 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,879 Speaker 5: one of the best players in the game, our old 1033 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 5: friend Diyldon Devello, whom we like to see come back, 1034 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,359 Speaker 5: and you know, having such a successful career. And well 1035 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,399 Speaker 5: Connor Hillibuck, I mean he's going to be the team 1036 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 5: USA goaltender so in the Olympics. So I think that 1037 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 5: that's a big, big challenge. The other thing about it, too, 1038 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 5: is they play a hard game. Both these teams in 1039 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 5: the in this homestand they play a hard game, physical game. 1040 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 5: They make you pay. Whether or not Matthew Kitchuk can 1041 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 5: play an off for Florida doesn't really matter. They come 1042 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 5: at you too. But Winnipeg is like that. They have 1043 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 5: strong team toughness and they're not to be trifled with. 1044 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 5: So I think it's a big challenge for the Sharks 1045 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 5: to continue that development of home ice advantage and to 1046 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 5: make sure that they're you know, you know, sending out 1047 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 5: the message to the league that coming to SAP Center 1048 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 5: is a lot like it used to be back maybe 1049 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 5: as seven eight years ago when the Sharks were challenging 1050 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 5: for a Stanley Cup. They want to create those conditions 1051 00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 5: again and the fans are looking forward to. 1052 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: That kind of has that similar feel of Thornton and 1053 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 1: Marlow again. 1054 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 5: Dann. 1055 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: We appreciate the insight, keep up the great work.

You know you were out in Stockton, 1078 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 6: but at least you had bakers Field. 1079 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, some plum visits, Oh yeah, some plum job visits. 1080 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: Ontario not too far out of LA. I had San 1081 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 1: Diego my first year. You had Victoria. 1082 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 7: Also times in the EHL. 1083 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Victoria for from five to twenty twenty eleven. There 1084 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 1: there was some good living up there. Utah, great stop 1085 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 1: Phoenix as well, Great Stop Idaho is still there there there. 1086 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun stops from back in the 1087 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 1: day in the Western Conference. All right, looking at head 1088 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 1: here for the Kraken, no back to backs here for 1089 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,799 Speaker 1: this week. Of course, again, as we said, Columbus is 1090 00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: coming up tomorrow night for Military Appreciation Night, winnipe second 1091 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: matchup of the season. They visit here Thursday. San Jose 1092 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:09,319 Speaker 1: Hockey Fights Cancer Night coming up on Saturday. Rematch from that. 1093 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,760 Speaker 1: When we look at the benchmark here, three games, six 1094 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 1: points on the table, four points out of six, are 1095 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,040 Speaker 1: we setting that as the appropriate bar? 1096 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the way I see it, Mikey. 1097 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,839 Speaker 8: There's no reason why they shouldn't plan to have four 1098 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,239 Speaker 8: of the six points, however they get it. But though 1099 00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 8: there's definitely four points in there this team can have. 1100 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with al here, and I'm gonna even go 1101 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 6: a little bit further. You know, we're not We're We're 1102 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,839 Speaker 6: fifteen games into the season, so obviously there is a 1103 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,319 Speaker 6: ton of hockey left. And I'm not gonna sit here 1104 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 6: and say that we are we are at the point 1105 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 6: of no return. But we're getting to the point where 1106 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 6: teams who aren't in a playoff spot, teams behind the 1107 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,959 Speaker 6: crack in, or teams who are out of it, they're 1108 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,880 Speaker 6: gonna have to start going on runs here. They're gonna 1109 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 6: have to start winning five in a row, six in 1110 00:54:59,640 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 6: a row. 1111 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 7: So seven in a row. Si Anaheim, they're gonna start. 1112 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 6: Needing points in ten of eleven if they want to 1113 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 6: get back in it. If you're Seattle, obviously you'd also 1114 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 6: like to go on runs. But if you can take 1115 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 6: four of every six points, if you can find ways 1116 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 6: to I mean, we hate overtime games, but these points 1117 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 6: are gonna be massive down the road. What are the 1118 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 6: Avalanche seven? One in five, seven to one and six. 1119 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 6: For all intents and purposes, the Avs are seven and 1120 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 6: six this season, right, So it's not like they're these 1121 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 6: world beating teams. So if the Kraken can find ways 1122 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 6: to continue like they have been doing, I mean they're 1123 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 6: four to two and two in their last eight games. 1124 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,239 Speaker 6: Yeah you know, yeah, they're two to two and two 1125 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,359 Speaker 6: in their last six. But they've got points in four 1126 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,399 Speaker 6: of their last six games. So if they can find 1127 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 6: a way to keep up what they've been doing, I 1128 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 6: think they hold down that playoff spot. I think they 1129 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 6: continue to fend off the teams who are behind them. 1130 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 6: So yeah, I think four of four of six points 1131 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 6: this weekend, that is the absolute low bar for the Kraken. 1132 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 8: I think you said it well too, fits It's not 1133 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 8: a lot of teams that have not started out well 1134 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 8: need to go on runs. But the Kracking don't have 1135 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 8: to go on the run, right, They just they just 1136 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,840 Speaker 8: have to play consistently and keep getting points here and there. 1137 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 8: Like you say, three games, get four to six points, 1138 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,479 Speaker 8: that's fine, you don't have to win all three. Keep 1139 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 8: playing that way, you're going to find yourself in a 1140 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:24,839 Speaker 8: playoff position and. 1141 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 6: Try to avoid and try to avoid the stinker, right, 1142 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 6: I mean, they're going to happen. I remember back when 1143 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 6: I was one of my old coaches said Everett and hockey, 1144 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 6: you know, every year you were always guaranteed to get 1145 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 6: blown out, but you are not guaranteed to blow someone out, right, 1146 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,879 Speaker 6: So there's always going to be a stinker or two 1147 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 6: that happens, but they need to be well timed stinkers, 1148 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 6: like for me, the San Jose that was your one 1149 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 6: stinker until January. Right, you can't have another six Monday, 1150 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 6: and you have them coming back Saturday. 1151 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 8: So exactly because of what happened in the last game, 1152 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 8: I would expect that might be the best game the 1153 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 8: Crack and play all week, even though they've got Winnipeg 1154 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 8: and Columbus as well. 1155 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: That first period is going to be under a microscope 1156 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday versus what happened matplan celebrating is 1157 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: scoring over a minute end of the game in this 1158 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,680 Speaker 1: first matchup here. Hey, speaking of guys, the San Jose 1159 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 1: Sharks are knocking on the door here for a playoff spot. 1160 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: The crack in in a playoff spot right now. Anaheim's 1161 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: lead in the Pacific Division. They won seven straight games, 1162 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 1: Vegas tied with the Kraken, then behind them right now 1163 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 1: in the division, behind the Kraken tied for second. You 1164 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 1: have the Kings tied for them, San Jose one point back, 1165 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 1: Vancouver one point back, Edmonton two. Calgary's in the basement 1166 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, how many of these teams are 1167 00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: on your Bengo card for the spots that they're in 1168 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 1: from two months ago. But ultimately the biggest question is 1169 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 1: who are you most concerned about behind them going on 1170 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 1: a major run? 1171 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 8: Well, no, I mean you're right, Mike, And the way 1172 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,959 Speaker 8: it looks right now isn't anywhere close. 1173 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,120 Speaker 3: To where what we all find I mean, look at 1174 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 3: Calgary at the bottom. 1175 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, nobody thought that coming with Dustin wolf in the 1176 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 8: big contract he signed, and you know Edminton coming off 1177 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 8: of the Stanley Cup Finals, you just assumed they would 1178 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 8: be in the top portion of the division, let alone 1179 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 8: the conference. So yeah, a lot of surprises. Winnipeg concerns me. 1180 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 8: Utah concerns me like Utah has been playing lights out. 1181 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 3: I think they might have. 1182 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 8: Cooled off a little bit over the last kick couple 1183 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 8: of games, but they've been playing lights out. So yeah, 1184 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 8: Utah is probably the one that stands out to me. 1185 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, Utah Winnipeg both have lost three in a row. 1186 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 6: You know, I think for me, the biggest surprise is Anaheim. 1187 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 7: Eleven to three and one, they've won seven. 1188 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 1: Even then they're they're also eleven two and one since 1189 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: opening night here. 1190 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the crazy part opening that was here though. Yeah, 1191 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 7: let's go. 1192 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 6: So, I mean, I think Anaheim to me is the 1193 00:58:56,200 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 6: biggest surprise. Say what you want, you know that that 1194 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 6: group I think is real. You know they I think 1195 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 6: they're gonna cool off a little bit, but I mean, 1196 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 6: I think Anaheim is again you're getting to that point 1197 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,959 Speaker 6: where they're banking enough points early. 1198 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 7: On where you know they're not going to. 1199 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,120 Speaker 6: Have to go on one of these runs that I 1200 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 6: was just talking about the team that scares me, and 1201 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,240 Speaker 6: that will continue to scare me. 1202 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 7: Or the Edmonton Oilers. 1203 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,440 Speaker 6: We've there back to back Western Conference champions, They've gone 1204 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 6: to the finals tiers in a row. 1205 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 7: They have McDavid, they have dry title. 1206 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,800 Speaker 6: Goaltending, let's be real, non existent most nights in Edmonton. 1207 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 6: They are a team that outscores their problems. And as 1208 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 6: long as you have two of the three best players 1209 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 6: in the world, two of the four best players in 1210 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 6: the world, you can never write Edmonton off. They're two 1211 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 6: points back of Seattle right now in the division. Vancouver's 1212 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 6: one point back, the Kings are tied. 1213 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 7: San Jose is one point back of Seattle. 1214 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 6: So I mean the one team that if I had 1215 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,400 Speaker 6: picked one of those teams, it's still Edmonton. 1216 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 7: But yeah, didn't have any of this on the Bingal card. 1217 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, let's get to our 1218 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,880 Speaker 1: three stars from this past week. I'll begin on this one. 1219 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 1: I would go with star number three, team defense and 1220 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,880 Speaker 1: for their ability to lock matters down period two and 1221 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: especially in period three. This is a way they have 1222 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,560 Speaker 1: to play to give their goaltending a chance to keep 1223 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 1: them in games night after night, and they can't rely 1224 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 1: on goaltending to bail them out like other teams would 1225 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: have when you can go with top line star power, 1226 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 1: this is the way they have to play. It's with 1227 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,960 Speaker 1: a lunch pail mentality and finding a way to keep 1228 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 1: the middle clear and get pucks eventually out of their 1229 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 1: own zone and keep games low. Event Star two, I'm 1230 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna go there. I'm gonna go Philip Grubauer and things 1231 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 1: didn't begin well for him in Saint Louis Akraken we're 1232 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: down two nothing, but you saw in the midst of 1233 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 1: this comeback the saves he made were very important saves 1234 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: to keep this team in this game, and I think 1235 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 1: for that kind of game, that's what you're asking for, 1236 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: to have Grubauer make the basic saves and eventually, when 1237 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: you have a high dangered chance, hope that he can 1238 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 1: bail you out. And I remember even before the Jordan 1239 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Kyru goal, he was phenomenal one stop, two stop, three stops. 1240 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: He was key, and the room recognized him for that. 1241 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,640 Speaker 1: After that win in Saint Louis and Star one, I'll 1242 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: stay at the same position. Matt Murray as well. A 1243 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 1: lot of question marks heading into this season, but against Dallas, 1244 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,280 Speaker 1: that against the kind of game that you're looking for 1245 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,520 Speaker 1: out of him. First period wasn't pretty and he kind 1246 01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 1: of guessed maybe in the Tyler Sagan goal, but he 1247 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 1: was tremendous, shot after shot after shot. Period two, period three, 1248 01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: he didn't face a lot of rubber likes say Casey 1249 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,720 Speaker 1: to Smith, but again he gave this team a chance. 1250 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 1: And this is what the Kraken are asking for out 1251 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 1: of those two. When Joey Decord cannot go. 1252 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 8: Well good next. My third star of the week was 1253 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,280 Speaker 8: Mason Marchman. I think we saw his the best game 1254 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 8: of the season and all he logged eighteen minutes of 1255 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 8: ice time, four shots on goal, four hits. He's got 1256 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 8: to play that way every game, and I hope that 1257 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 8: he's getting a little bit of pressure from his linemates, 1258 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 8: from the coaching staff to say, you know, that was 1259 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 8: your best game. We want to see that every game 1260 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 8: going forward. Second star of the week for me was 1261 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 8: Shane Wright. The ot winner in Saint Louis was huge. 1262 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:25,800 Speaker 8: The tit a chance at the end of the game 1263 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 8: in Dallas that if you listened to the call, I 1264 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 8: think Fitz thought it was going in. He was, he 1265 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 8: was that excited about it, but it was It was 1266 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 8: two games in a row, almost tied it within seconds 1267 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 8: of the final buzzer, but Wright wasn't able to get 1268 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 8: that second one. So he was my second star of 1269 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:41,919 Speaker 8: the week. And then my first star goes to Elli 1270 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 8: told And I know he's been on the schneid lately, 1271 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 8: but a goal to assist in the Saint Louis game, 1272 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 8: five hits for him in the Dallas game. He's now 1273 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 8: tied with ty car Cha for hits in the season 1274 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 8: at forty. I'd like to see ty car Cha, Ellie Tolson, 1275 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,640 Speaker 8: and Mason MARSHMANNT one two and three on that list 1276 01:02:58,680 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 8: for hits. 1277 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 7: My third Star the week is I'm gonna go Tanler Stevenson. 1278 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 6: I just think that, you know, again, you have the 1279 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 6: late game time goal in Saint Louis. He's average, He's getting, 1280 01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 6: you know, Monday in Chicago twenty two minutes, Saint Louis 1281 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 6: twenty one minutes. 1282 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 7: Dallas twenty three minutes of ice time. 1283 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 6: He's your best face off guy, you know. I think 1284 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 6: he had a really good week. Even though he was 1285 01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 6: only rewarded with just one goal in that week, I 1286 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 6: think he could have had a. 1287 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 7: Few more points. Number two, I'm going Tolvin and I 1288 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 7: think I think. 1289 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 6: Et you know, after being elevated to the top line 1290 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:35,919 Speaker 6: and then dropped to the fourth line. 1291 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,720 Speaker 7: I mean, he's done a really good job this week. 1292 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 3: Play still in the power play. 1293 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 6: He's rolling with the punches, and he had a really 1294 01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 6: good week. I know we're only going to count the 1295 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,720 Speaker 6: four games this week, Chicago, San Jose and Saint Louis, 1296 01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 6: but Tolvey's got points in four of his last six overall, 1297 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 6: so I mean, I think he's starting to find it. 1298 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 6: And then number one, I'm going goaltending. I'm going Grubauer 1299 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,440 Speaker 6: Murray my one and two. I think because Joey was 1300 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 6: out for the weekend. Hopefully, you know, by the time 1301 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,760 Speaker 6: this airs today or maybe tomorrow, before the Columbus game, 1302 01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 6: we'll have an update on Decord. Maybe Decord's playing tomorrow. 1303 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 6: We don't know right so hopefully we'll have to wait 1304 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 6: and see. But I think both those guys coming in, 1305 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 6: you know, on on two and a half week's rest, 1306 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 6: haven't gotten a lot of game time to come in 1307 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 6: and play the way that they did to give the 1308 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 6: cracking a a win in Saint Louis and Matt Murray 1309 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 6: giving Seattle every chance to win that game in Dallas, 1310 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 6: I mean cracking goaltending for the situation that they were 1311 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 6: thrust it into there. 1312 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 7: My number one star. 1313 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 1: Well, because this is a podcast, we can go as 1314 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 1: long as we want. Is there anything else that you 1315 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 1: want to get off your chef to avoid doing chores 1316 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 1: here for the rest of the entire day, kind of 1317 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 1: procrastinating delay the process here, anybody, I'll. 1318 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 8: Add it to you know again column balls and strikes. 1319 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 8: As many good things that happened this week, I think 1320 01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 8: an area that's still needing work is to face offsh 1321 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,840 Speaker 8: base off continue to be on on the lower side 1322 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 8: of fifty percent. And I know it's something that the 1323 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 8: guys work on every practice, but it's definitely factoring into 1324 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 8: chances and even some of the outcomes of these games. 1325 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 8: So it's an area to see the guys can prove on. 1326 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think third period offense too. 1327 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 6: Al told a second ago, eleven of the fifteen games 1328 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 6: this year, the krack and have had single digit shots 1329 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 6: in the third period, And of those eleven, I'm willing 1330 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 6: to bet at least half six of those eleven games. 1331 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 6: You know they're five or below. So when you're in 1332 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 6: a two to one, three to two game. You know, 1333 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:39,200 Speaker 6: I understand wanting to tighten things up defensively, but you 1334 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 6: know it takes a lot of pressure off your goaltending, 1335 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 6: off your defense. 1336 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 7: If you can go up three to one, go up 1337 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 7: you know, the four to two, whatever it is. 1338 01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,280 Speaker 6: Right, So I think third period this week if the 1339 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 6: krack and can have more of that shot first mentality, 1340 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 6: We've seen them getting better as games win, as go on, 1341 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,560 Speaker 6: but I'd like to see more pucks onto the net 1342 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:01,160 Speaker 6: and the third period. 1343 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to also go there for some props I've 1344 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 1: not had a chance to give to Riker Evans back 1345 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 1: now from his injury. He's looked terrific in his first 1346 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: two games games oh Man, two points through two games. 1347 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: Those two points came in his debut with Saint Louis, 1348 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 1: But I mean you look at him and how he plays, 1349 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,800 Speaker 1: and then you add Vince Done there, Brandon Montour on 1350 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 1: a different pairing defensive cores all of a sudden now 1351 01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 1: looks a lot more mobile right now with Ryker Evans 1352 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 1: as a part of all of this, and now potentially 1353 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,280 Speaker 1: maybe we'll see if what Lane Lambert wants to do, 1354 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,360 Speaker 1: and I think the structure might you know, and I 1355 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,880 Speaker 1: think inhibit where you put these guys, but now you 1356 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 1: have options for the power play in case you want 1357 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 1: to switch things up. Dun's there, montor separate unit. Do 1358 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 1: you switch him up? Maybe Riker Evans though he can 1359 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,640 Speaker 1: carry you two as a point man. So this team's 1360 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:51,520 Speaker 1: got options down in case they want to go there. 1361 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: But having him back, it couldn't have come any sooner. 1362 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 1: And I think the same goes when we can hopefully 1363 01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 1: get some good news here for guys like Jared McCann 1364 01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:02,840 Speaker 1: and Freddie goodrou is a crack and the is certainly 1365 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 1: still hanging in there right now and miss all the injuries. 1366 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm hoping we get some info. 1367 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 6: I mean, Jerry McCann has been day to day, you 1368 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 6: know since there were a wild stars on the flag. 1369 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 7: So I'm hoping that.
