1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Thanks, Mike. Lame busy day yesterday. A couple of moves. 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: One Bobby McMahon traded to Seattle. You're very familiar with him, 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: having coached him in Toronto. Also, your captain reups for 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: two more years. Maybe not the crazy day that a 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: lot of fans maybe were expecting for the cracking, but 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: just talk about yesterday and now you can finally just 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: breathe and let all that go and now focus on 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: the last sprint to the end of the season. 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, it was nice to sign ups. 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: You know, I think he's done a really good job 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: after you know, his his injury, coming back having a 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 2: great year for us. He understands what it takes at 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: his age to play the game, the commitment that it takes, 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: and so that is of no concern to me from 15 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: that standpoint. And he's having a half of a year 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: for us. He deserves it, you know. And as far 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: as Bobby McMahon is concerned, he'll had an element of 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: speed to our hockey team. You know, he's fast, He's 19 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: deceptively fast, and he's got some pretty good size and 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: you know, he plays the game the right way. I 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: had him for a year. You know he was good 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: for us in Toronto last year twenty goals. He has 23 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: nineteen goals this year, so we're expecting him to come 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: in and add some speed and. 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: And some scoring touch. The trade deadline for a lot 26 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: of coaches can be a double edged sword. You want 27 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: to bring someone in to make your team better, but 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: you don't want to mess up that chemistry and the 29 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: culture in the room. Having coached McMahon before, what type 30 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: of player is he off the ice and what value 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: will he bring to that locker room. 32 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: Bobby McMahon's a low maintenance guy. You know, he's an 33 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: Alberta kid who came up through the East Coast League 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: and he's earned everything he's gotten. So he's not only 35 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: probably appreciative and grateful for where he's at, but you know, 36 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: and speaking to him yesterday, he's excited to come to Seattle, 37 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: and we're looking for people that are excited to come 38 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: to Seattle. 39 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: Last time out for Seattle Cracking falling three to two. 40 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: Just take us back to that game a couple of 41 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: nights ago and where you felt the Cracking needed a 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: little bit more in that game. 43 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought our power play could have helped us 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: out you know, certainly at the end of six on four, 45 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: you know, that was a big moment that we needed. 46 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: But certainly, you know, I thought the game could have 47 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: went either way. Really, to be honest, you know, I 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 2: thought it probably could have went our way as opposed 49 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: to their way. But it didn't, which is you know, 50 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: the irony of the game of hockey Monday night against Carolina. 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: You know, it probably could have been a different story 52 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: the other way, but that's just the way it goes. 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: You know, We've got to take advantage of our opportunities here. 54 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: We've got twenty one games left. Just take it one 55 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: game at a time and see where we're at. Just 56 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: play our game. 57 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: Looking at the night's game, there was a little bit 58 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: of illness going through the locker room. There were a 59 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: few guys who weren't at practice this morning, with Adam 60 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: Larson and Freddie gudrou out as well. Just any update 61 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: on their status and how do you manage the guys going, 62 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, in and out of the room every single 63 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: day with sickness going through that. 64 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well we try and keep them away. That's one 65 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: of the reasons why they weren't here. Ryan Linggren wasn't 66 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: here this morning as well either, So I don't have 67 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 2: any updates other than their game time decisions, and we'll 68 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: see how they feel when they get here tonight. 69 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Looking at Ottawa very much like Seattle. They're in the 70 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: thick of a playoff race out east, and you know 71 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: they're coming off a four to one win the other 72 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: night in Calgary. What type of issues do they present 73 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: here today for Seattle and what do you want to 74 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: see the crack and do to combat that. 75 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a good hockey team. I know a lot 76 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 2: about them. We played them last year in Toronto in 77 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: the playoffs. They've got a combination of a lot of things. 78 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I really like their team. 79 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: They have grit, they have Greece, they have skill, and 80 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: their defense can skate. Shabbat Sanderson, Brady kachuk at net 81 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: front Ridley, Greg Bathurston Stutslow. The team is they are 82 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: their ninth in the league and shooting percenters, so they 83 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: score more goals than most teams do, unexpected goals, so 84 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: they can snipe and they have speed coming through the 85 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: middle of the ice. We've got to make sure that 86 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: we manage that, take care of that, keep them to 87 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: the outside as much as possible. We did a really 88 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: good job of that in Ottawa way back. We have 89 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: to do that again tonight, and you know, we have 90 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: to attack. You know, they've got all this offensive stuff 91 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: and they've been pretty good defensively as well. But for us, 92 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: we need to attack. We need to get more at 93 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: presence and more show volume tonight that we did the 94 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: other night.
