Speaker 2: of the conversation we had in the latest Cracking Weekly.

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: This is going to be a special not as well

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: as far as with the Crack and are going to

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: be wearing their brand new third alternate jerseys will be

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: game ready for the first time in franchise history, a

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: tremendous spectacle of black, red, and bioluminescent undertones. The crack

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: and will wear these again ten more times this season,

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: including November fifth, the twenty sixth, two times in December,

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: three times in January, twice in April, and wrapping up

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: their last game in the jerseys on April ninth. Here's

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: reaction we got from Cracking captain Jordan Everley on wearing

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: the new jerseys.

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: I think, obviously throw it under black light. I think

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: the big hit is probably that it glows a bit.

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: But I mean it's just it's different than what we've worn.

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: I like how, you know, the darkness of the black.

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: I think it makes us look a little bigger, and

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 4: you know, hopefully, uh you know, I mean, ultimately just

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: comes down to the record and hopefully it's good.

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: As they often say, look good, feel good, good, play good.

58
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: That also applies to goaltender Joey to Cord, who mentioned

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: the benefits of the new alternate jersey, including brand new

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: matching equipment for his mask and pads top to bottom.

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 5: That's sick.

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a huge fan for more than one reason,

63
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 6: and the biggest reason being it's it's nasty, like, it

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 6: looks unreal. Second reason being as a goalie. Now I

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 6: get to design gear for it and a mask and

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 6: pads and et cetera. It sticks, So I'm juiced. I

67
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 6: can't wait for everyone to see. I mean, I put

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 6: out my mask already, so that got some positive reaction,

69
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 6: but I can't wait for the rest of the gear

70
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 6: to come out for everyone to see.

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: Take me through the mask, the design, and what kind

72
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: of concept that that you wanted to conceive from the

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: get go.

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 6: I so I work very closely with my mass painter, Shifty.

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 6: He does an incredible job, and he and I usually

76
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 6: have like a sit down and we just hat what

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 6: we want to do. I mean, obviously we wanted to

78
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 6: do glow in the dark paint right away, and he

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 6: kind of came to me with the idea of the

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 6: eyes on the side and then some cracking logos and

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 6: I loved it. And I think I think with mass painters,

82
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 6: especially like their artists, so if they see a vision,

83
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 6: if he sees a vision and he's like it's going

84
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 6: to be sick, I'm like, cool, do it. You know,

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: I'm never like, ah, I need you to do it

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 6: black and white like this, because then usually they feel

87
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 6: like they're restricted into, you know, a confined boundary, and

88
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 6: then that's it's hard for their creativity to come out

89
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 6: that way. So with Masks, I usually just let him

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: run with it.

91
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: There's really no metric which can certainly measure how much

92
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: a team can really benefit from playing in an alternate jersey,

93
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: except for the fact that players often tell you a

94
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: brand new look will often inspire more energy, and we'll

95
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: see how much they can certainly capitalize off of that

96
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: coming up here against the Rangers, the Kraken come off

97
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: a thrilling comeback up for despite losing an overtime for

98
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: to three to Montreal back on Tuesday. Here's say what

99
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: happened with the Kraken down by three goals and running

100
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: out of time.

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 7: Katon gets it back right side up top Montor shot.

102
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 8: Randon Montour from the line, redirected into the net and

103
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 8: the Seattle Cracket on the power.

104
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 7: Play and on the board three to one. They cut

105
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 7: their deficit into two.

106
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 9: Well, good puck movement by anything.

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 5: The Cracket starts with catting back to Montour he puts

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 5: on hard on net. I believe it went off of

109
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: something and I think it was James Schwartz's stick.

110
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 7: It was either Schwartz or carry a because Carrie A

111
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 7: was the one.

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 8: One goes off carry a stick and.

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 7: In by Jacob Dobash. So that will be Montour's goal.

114
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 7: The cracket on the board down three one, who comes on?

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 8: He told it in right in on goal.

116
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 7: That one knocked away.

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 8: Now Shane right stood, Shane right off a fifty pass

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 8: drifting into the slot and the Seattle cracket cut the

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 8: deficit to one. It's three two Canadians lead.

120
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: Here in the third.

121
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: Where you can feel that pump pot Boilian partners they

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 5: got crack and move the pucket to the offensive end,

123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: cycle around the back of the net, and it was

124
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 5: Montor feeding right in the high slot. Ran g it's

125
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 5: a one timer off peak Stoe bass bluff side tas

00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 8: Welcome back Brandon Monteur.

130
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 7: He's got two third period goals.

131
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 8: And the Seattle cracking tie the game at three.

132
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: One forty three left in the third.

133
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 5: Well Montreal I don't know why, but Montreal gives Seattle

134
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 5: excellent offensive zone entrance. They get control on the half

135
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 5: boards and Monty picks that puck up off of a

136
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: done pass and puts a bomb on net.

137
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 9: This game title free.

00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 4: Here is for her up.

139
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 7: Gallagher gives it up and throws it in the middle.

Speaker 8: Intercept it five left, Carrie a hereside, Anderson settles shoot.

141

142
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 7: puck and we.

143
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 8: Are going to overtime here in Seattle.

144
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 7: Coffield left circle around done, Gawfield stop by the cord.

145
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 7: It's in the score.

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 8: Col Cawfield does it again to Seattle.

147
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: Brandon Montour scored twice in the rally. Also Sandwich, he

148
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: can go by Shane Wright. It was only Montour's second

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: game back after losing his brother Cameron to an unfortunate

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: battle with als Montor in the process picking up his

151
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: three hundredth career National Hockey League point and the Craken

152
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: salvaging a point in both matchups against the Canadians. Well,

153
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: Ryan Lindgren is a part of the story lines here

154
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: for this evening against the Rangers. He's facing his former

155
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: team for the first time since being traded from the

156
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: Rangers to the Colorado Avalanche and then signing with the

157
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: Kraken this past offseason as a free agent. It's often

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: said the hockey world is a small world, and that

159
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: means to plenty of relationships that lynd Gren has on

160
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: the other side in the Rangers dressing room. He was

161
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: Adam Fox's defensive partner for a long time, and he'll

162
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: face off against Fox and other former teammates he have

163
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: of the Rangers side for the first time coming up

164
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: this evening. Here's our chat with Ryan Lindgren on his

165
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: new surroundings and the possibility of having this kind of

166
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: game circled on the calendar. What drives a defenseman to

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: be willing to lay down in block shots.

168
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just doing anything to help the team,

169
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: you know. I think coming from a family of goalies,

170
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: you know, I try to maybe help them out as

171
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: much as I can, and you know, I know they

172
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: appreciate when you when you put your body on the

173
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: line and get in front of a park. So yeah,

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: it's something I try to do. It doesn't always feel great,

175
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: but you know, it helps the team and that's what

176
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: you're trying to do.

177
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: Having Coppocco back in the same room once again, what

178
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: kind of energy do you see from him that makes

179
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: it feel like nearly the same guy that you had

180
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: in New York.

181
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's great playing with him again. He was

182
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: a guy I got really close with in New York

183
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: and you know, one of my really good buddies. So

184
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, it makes the transition easier for me coming

185
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: here and seeing him, and you know, just just seeing

186
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: the way he took off when he came here last

187
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: year and how good he played, you know, he you know,

188
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: he's going to be doing the same thing. So yeah,

189
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: I'm just really excited to be playing with him again.

190
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: January twelfth on the calendar, a return to Madison Square Garden.

191
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: How much are you circling that date?

192
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it. You know, obviously

193
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: we got, you know, a lot of games before then,

194
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: but that's definitely one I'm excited for. And yeah, it'll

195
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: be cool playing in there again.

196
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: How do you feel that you grew as a defenseman

197
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: as compared to your rookie season.

198
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it all comes from confidence. I

199
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: think as you as you start in your rookie year.

200
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: You know, you're just trying to learn the game, you know, learn,

201
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: learn what you can and can't do out there and

202
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: what kind of works for you. And you know, the

203
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: more you play and the more comfortable you feel, the

204
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: more you evolve as a player. And you know, I

205
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: think I've done that over the years, and you know,

206
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: I'm obviously not not where I want to be, but

207
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: you just try to work as hard as you can

208
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: every day and become a better player.

209
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: Now, Charlie is your brother. You said before that you

210
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: two are close. How long did it take for you

211
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: to text or even to hang out after the playoff

212
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: series you two had back in twenty twenty four.

213
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was bizarre because we talked to

214
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: each other all the time. You know, me, me, Charlie

215
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: and our other brother Andrew are really close, and so yeah,

216
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: going through that old stretch where obviously we didn't talk

217
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: to each other was was a little weird. But you know,

218
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: going through that handshake line after was was pretty surreal.

219
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: And you know, he played his butt off that series,

220
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: and so yeah, we talked right after, and you know,

221
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 3: he let me know that that he was rooting for us,

222
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: and you know, rooting for us to go on a

223
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: good run. So it was something special and I know

224
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 3: my whole family really enjoyed it.

225
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: You try the position of goalie once and you said,

226
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: at age six, that's it. I'm done seeing Charlie in

227
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: those shoes. What is it about goalies that set them apart?

228
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,119
Speaker 2: But you come to appreciate.

229
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I look at my brother. I work

230
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: out with him, I skate with him in the summer,

231
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: and you know just just how dedicated they are of

232
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: the game. And you know he does everything he can

233
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: every single day to improve his game. And you know

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: they got to be so flexible and so quick, and

235
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: you know he works at that every day, and you

236
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: know it's really cool for me to have a role

237
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: model like that and and just see what it takes

238
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: for him to, you know, excel in the NHL level.

239
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: Just going back to where you came from. What's one

240
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: day that you could go back and relive growing up

241
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: in Minnesota all over again.

242
00:11:59,480 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 10: If you could.

243
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a lot of them. I think

244
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: for for me, there's something that was really special. Was

245
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: was the first time getting to see uh, well, they

246
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: both they both made it to the state tournament, but

247
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: we're getting to see Charlie for the first time. You know,

248
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: it was such a special moment for our whole family.

249
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: You know, they're kind of a Cinderella story at Lakeville

250
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: North and they got the upset over Lakeville South and

251
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 3: and then getting to go to the state tournament and

252
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: watched Charlie playing that for the first time. Was was

253
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: really cool.

254
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: Getting settling here to a new city and a new team.

255
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: How was unpacking time here recently versus stay back in March.

256
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, uh, you know, it was really cool.

257
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 3: You know, he's just getting to know the area, and yeah,

258
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: it's it's been a lot of fun getting to all

259
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 3: the guys and so yeah, I really enjoyed.

260
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: It fishing, guy, hiking, guy, golf, guy, outdoors guy, anything.

261
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 3: Big time golf. Been able to play a couple of

262
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: times since I've been here, and you know, the courses

263
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: in this in this area are unbelievable. So yeah, that's

264
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 3: been really nice. In the weather too, has been awesome

265
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: since I've been here, so gotten to spend a lot

266
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: of time outdoors and kind of around Lake Washington. So

267
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: it's been a lot of fun.

268
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: Is a driver part of your game? The flat stick.

269
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: Any iron play your strength.

270
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 3: Definitely not the flat stick that kind of runs in

271
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: our family in one can Pott. But no, my irons

272
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: are usually decent. My driver can be okay, but yeah,

273
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: the flat stick is something I need to work on.

274
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: Ryan Lindgren is one part of the storyline. Coppocaco is another.

275
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: He hasn't played a game yet after suffering a broken

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: hand in a preseason game against the New York Rangers

277
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: back in September. That long road back could come to

278
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: an end potentially this evening, assuming he's cleared. After all,

279
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: he did skate in practice with the Kraken on Friday

280
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: in a regular jersey. He has yet to come off

281
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: ir but still Cocko potentially could be facing the team

282
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: that traded him to the Kraken in exchange for defenseman

283
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: Will Borgan this last December. Meanwhile, Borgan comes back to

284
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: Seattle for the first time since the trade, and a

285
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: warm welcome potentially could be on hand from Kracking fans

286
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: in attendance for this game. Borgan, of course, the second

287
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: overall pick for the Kracking in that historic twenty twenty

288
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: one expansion draft. He was also a part of the

289
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: roster and a big piece of a physical and rugged

290
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: effort on their blue line when they upset the Colorado

291
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Avalanche in seven games in the first round back in

292
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. But Lynn Gren's a part of this

293
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: krack and dressing room now and they convened together at

294
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Climate Pledg Aina earlier this week for Adam Sandler's stand

295
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: up comedy tour. So for the week of Halloween, the

296
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: Kraken showed up to Climate Pledge Arena same night as

297
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: a team, dressed up in Adam Sandler characters from his

298
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: recent movies. And of course after the tour, Sandler crashed

299
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: the party in the Kraken dressing room. And here's Matty

300
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: Beniers on who he went as, plus the experience of

301
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: meeting and acting legend Zohan.

302
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: It was awesome.

303
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 6: Who's a really nice guy. He took pictures of everyone

304
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 6: and I did a great job out there.

305
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: We had a lot of fun.

306
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: So how starstrug did the Kraken get Here's the if

307
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: it's been Vince Dunn, who said, on the contrary, meeting

308
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,119
Speaker 2: Adam Sandler was a down to earth experience.

309
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was a great guy. His crew is very

310
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 10: friendly and just as funny as they were on stage

311
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 10: in person, so it's cool to see that side of

312
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 10: them that is just their natural talent, that they're just

313
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 10: kind of funny people and use that to their advantage

314
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 10: where they're on screen.

315
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: So a team bonding outing all done in the rearview

316
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: mirror and the krack of now gearing up for the

317
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: Rangers in game three of this five game homestand to

318
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: prepare for this one, we caught up with Rangers radio

319
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: play by play voice Alex Foust and a chat we

320
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: had between ever it fits you, Al Kaniski myself as

321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: well for the recent drop of crack and weekly.

322
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 11: You know, I think you can go back to some

323
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 11: of the injuries that they've had to deal with, which

324
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 11: may not seem all that significant on the surface, but

325
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 11: our Timmy Paneren and JT. Miller both had what I

326
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 11: would describe as false starts in training camp. They were

327
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 11: both banged up, didn't get the full camp, and I'm

328
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 11: firmly believe they may not have been one hundred percent

329
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 11: when the season got underway. And then shortly after the

330
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 11: season started, Vincent Trocheck went down with injury. And you're

331
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 11: talking about a guy who you know is one of

332
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 11: the top centermen in the league. The plan was to

333
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 11: have Mika's avantaje ad play on the wing this season

334
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 11: and not be a full time center like he's been

335
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 11: in the past. Well, that plan immediately got torn to

336
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 11: bits when Trocheck went down with injury. You know, the

337
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 11: feeling was that they wanted to get Mika up on

338
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 11: the fore check a little bit more on the wing,

339
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 11: and he's bought into a kind of a more physical

340
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 11: north South game. But without Trocheck in the middle, you're

341
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 11: talking about a guy who is grade five on five,

342
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 11: a point producer, is on your top power play unit,

343
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 11: kills penalties, never mind slots the rest of your forwards

344
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 11: where they should be. The knock on effect from that injury,

345
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 11: I think has created a lot of problems. You Know,

346
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 11: the first couple weeks of the season, you could look

347
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 11: at the Rangers record and say, well, you know, they're

348
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 11: losing all these games. But actually the sense was, and

349
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 11: I'm not just talking from a team standpoint, but from

350
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 11: the fans from the media covering the team, that their

351
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 11: process was fine. They were out playing their opposition at

352
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 11: five on five, they were dominating them defensively, and the

353
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 11: issue was they weren't getting goal scoring. Well, now their

354
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 11: game has slipped a little bit defensively and the goal

355
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 11: scoring hasn't picked up with it to try to cover

356
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 11: for all of that. So what you wind up with

357
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 11: is a team that you know, probably shouldn't have, you know,

358
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 11: as low a record as they have, but by virtue

359
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 11: of not winning games where they outplayed their opposition, they

360
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 11: find themselves in this early hole.

361
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure that things weren't going to script early here

362
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: as far as what Mike Sullivan had intended off the

363
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: bat here for his brand new job going over from

364
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Penguins as well expouse joining us right now

365
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: and crack and weekly. But what have we learned so

366
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: far with what Mike Sullivan is all about his core

367
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: values and how much more time that this team needs

368
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: to really get things locked in as far as his vision.

369
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 11: To be honest, I thought that there was a lot

370
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 11: of buy in right away and training camp. I think

371
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 11: this group was craving more structure, more of a set standard,

372
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 11: and Mike Sullivan has been adamant about that this group

373
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 11: needed to set a new bar as far as a

374
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 11: standard of play and going back to the first couple

375
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 11: of games, you know, they play Washington really tough and

376
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 11: Charlie Lingern put in a great performance. They play the

377
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 11: may Ple Leafs really tough and lose that one. You know,

378
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 11: over time, you look at some of their early results

379
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 11: and some of their tight losses to begin this season,

380
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 11: and they were playing to that standard. They were playing

381
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 11: what the way Mike Sullivan wanted them to play by

382
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 11: being responded coble, by playing hard North South. And I

383
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 11: think that, you know, as they've slipped a little bit

384
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 11: here and lost a couple of games, you're seeing Sullivin

385
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 11: trying to bring the group back to that standard. You know,

386
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 11: the Rangers made a clear investment in Sulivin as their

387
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 11: head coach, and you know they they feel that the

388
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 11: way that he runs this operation on the day to

389
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 11: day is absolutely what this group needs. And I think

390
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 11: you're seeing it that. When this team is playing at

391
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 11: its best, it's probably the most defensively sound you've seen

392
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 11: the Rangers play in a long long time. But now

393
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 11: it's just about okay, how can you how can you

394
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 11: pair that with you know, some of the creative skill

395
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 11: on this team and getting a little bit more finished

396
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 11: right now.

397
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 9: Sometimes when you're trying to get over that that position

398
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 9: of maybe not playing to where you expect a team

399
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 9: to play. You can look at areas of improvement when

400
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 9: you when you talk about training camp and the vets

401
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 9: and you know, maybe they did or didn't get out

402
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 9: of that in preseason. And then you look at, well,

403
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 9: who do you think when you're putting down the roster,

404
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 9: who do you think has the most upside? Get this

405
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 9: thing righted a little bit?

406
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 11: You know, I think they're they're looking at two guys

407
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 11: that you know have been off to slow starts, Will

408
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 11: Cooley and Alexi Lafrenier. You know, both were expected to

409
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 11: carry more of a higher load this year. I mean

410
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 11: la Frenier, you know, his body of work speaks for itself,

411
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 11: right and the skill is plainly obvious. But can't he

412
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 11: keep that up on a consistent basis? For you know,

413
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 11: Will Cooley, who burst onto the scene a couple of

414
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 11: years ago, I mean this is his third full NHL season.

415
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 11: I think what what's interesting with a younger player is

416
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 11: when you elevate him into a new role, is then

417
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 11: pressure starting to set in? If okay, I have to

418
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 11: match expectations of being in a certain place, and then

419
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 11: do you wind up maybe trying to do a little

420
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 11: bit too much much. And we see this all the

421
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 11: time with younger players around the league. I mean, Will

422
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 11: is still only twenty three years of age. It's hard to,

423
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 11: you know, instantly be thrust into a newer role where

424
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 11: you're expected to carry more of the team and not

425
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 11: stray from the simple game that got you there. So

426
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 11: right now it's about how you can, you know, get

427
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 11: this guy who plays a really great North South game

428
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 11: and stick with it.

429
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 9: Right So you're out, You're out on a four game

430
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 9: road trip West Coast. You're one game in. Does being

431
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 9: out on the road do you think that helps kind

432
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 9: of galvanize the guys a little bit, to get away

433
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 9: from MSG for a few days? Do you think that

434
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 9: helps get the team right it a little bit?

435
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 11: You know, I think given the way that you know

436
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 11: they struggled at home to begin, you know, it can't hurt.

437
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 11: I think we hear often in today's in al that

438
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 11: going on the road, regardless of which team you play on,

439
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 11: is actually more of a structured environment than when you're

440
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 11: playing home games. And we've actually seen it across the league.

441
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 11: I was looking up and we're taping this on a Monday,

442
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 11: I was looking at the league wide points percentage of

443
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 11: ball road teams. It's five point forty one to begin

444
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 11: the season, So across the league you're seeing this where

445
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 11: when teams get out on the road and they can

446
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 11: jail as a group and they can leave you know,

447
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 11: some of the things that you may occupy their time

448
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 11: when they're at home, family obligations and other things, it

449
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 11: actually sometimes can aid in performance. So I think that's

450
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 11: what the hope is for this Rangers team, is that

451
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 11: they can take advantage of being on their longest road

452
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 11: trip of the season stacked together a couple of results,

453
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 11: feel more confident about their game when they return home.

454
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: Alex this is going to lead to the reunion game

455
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: that we have certainly been pining for for a while.

456
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: On the Kraken side, we'll see if Coppocacka was back.

457
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: But Ryan lind Gren is here, and now Will Borgan

458
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 2: is back in Seattle for the first time since the

459
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: trade from this last season. I mean, he's earned playing

460
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: time up and down the defensive pair. But through ten

461
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 2: games so far and sixty one overall, what's the Will

462
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: Borgan experience like in New York and how he fits

463
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: in here to Mike Sullivan's plans.

464
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 11: Well, we're actually got a couple of reunion events here

465
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 11: with JT. Miller as we take this on a Monday

466
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 11: before the Rangers playing Vancouver on Tuesday, So that's gonna

467
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 11: be a big one to mark down. But you know,

468
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 11: I think when when the Rangers traded for Will Borgan

469
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 11: in the Coppococo deal, they were looking for some more

470
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 11: consistent play out of their back end, just a sturdy,

471
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 11: stay at home defenseman. I have been impressed from the

472
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 11: moment Borgan got here. You know, I don't think you

473
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 11: know he's going to tell you that he has an

474
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 11: offensive streak to his but he'll step up and join

475
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 11: the rush. He's got a pretty good shot. I think

476
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 11: everybody around the organization has been really happy with what

477
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 11: Will brings to the table. He plays with a bit

478
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 11: of an edge. He's a tough guy. I mean I've

479
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 11: seen already. I mean we're less than a month end

480
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 11: of the season, and he's taken some punishment, whether it's

481
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 11: block shots or tough hits, and he keeps on ticking.

482
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 11: He is one tough customer and I think he's been

483
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 11: a great fit for what this Rangers team wants to

484
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 11: be identity wise.

485
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 9: Alex talk a little bit abouts and obviously a top

486
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 9: goaltender in this league. What's he like? What are the

487
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 9: fans need to do about him in terms of how

488
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 9: he approaches the game? You know they see the stats, obviously,

489
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 9: but talk a little bit about his professionalism as a goaltender.

490
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 11: Boy, he's dedicated to his craft. You know, any goalie

491
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 11: will tell you that there hard on themselves. I think

492
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 11: Igor channels it in such a way where we were

493
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 11: looking up some stats the other day that you know

494
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 11: he get. He lost to San Jose in a six

495
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 11: or five overtime decision, and in his career he's bounced

496
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 11: back from those better than most goaltenders. He has a

497
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 11: really he has a gaudy win loss percentage in his

498
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 11: favor when he's coming off of a loss where he's

499
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 11: given up let's say five or more goals, and it

500
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 11: speaks to you know, his professionalism and how deeply he

501
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 11: you know, studies the game. You know, his his movement

502
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 11: when he's square to the puck. You know, I would

503
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 11: put him up against any goaltender in the league and

504
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 11: I'd say, you know, he's probably the best in that regard.

505
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 11: You know, until last year, he had won thirty six

506
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 11: plus games three seasons in a row. I mean, you're

507
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 11: you're talking about the Kreme de la creme in this league.

508
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 11: That's why he earned that large contract extension, the highest

509
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 11: for a goaltender in league history. But you know, I

510
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 11: think where it's so funny. You look at his goals

511
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 11: against and he got binged up a little bit to

512
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 11: start the road trip in Calgary, but he had a

513
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 11: sub two goals against average, and he's a game under

514
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 11: five hundred starting this road trip. You know, so it

515
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 11: just goes to show kind of where the Rangers are

516
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 11: at that you know, he's done his part, but needs

517
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 11: a little bit of run support.

518
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 2: Great catching up with Alex Faust again radio pip by
