00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: is it to be here for a guy like Shara

73
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I was young when he was going

74
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 4: through it, but I mean you just hear so many

75
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: stories about it. You know, I had, you know, when

76
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: I was going on My agent was was his agent

77
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 4: as well, and you just heard the stories of how

78
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: hard he'd work, and you know how nice he was

79
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: to everyone, and how committed he was to hockey and

80
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: you know he didn't take any time off. And you

81
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: know it's all kinds of stories you hear, but you

82
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: know the way he played and the way he you know,

83
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: exemplified that and whether it was playoffs, broken jaw, you know,

84
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: and blocking shots, all that stuff, he was he was

85
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: a you know, true team guy.

86
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: As far as the game here for this Seamon, you've

87
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: heard a lot about the season that much the the

88
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: mo o is defense but then transitioning into offense. So

89
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: coming off a game like that last night, what kind

90
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: of tweaks mean the most for this team and their games.

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, I think we kind of

92
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: know we didn't have our best last name we have,

93
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: so we were able to get the point, you know,

94
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: But I think tonight it's just about you know, our

95
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: compete level and winning battles.

96
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: And you know, making the plays.

97
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: When they're there and when they're not, you know, putting

98
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: them in deep because we're you know, a good for

99
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: checking team. We're a good offensive zone team. So you know,

100
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: I think tonight is just getting to our game.

101
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: Quicker.

102
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: I thought last night we we didn't get to our

103
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 4: game fast enough, and they they hung around and you know,

104
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: took it to us at some points. And we're going tonight,

105
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: we're just gonna worry about us get to our game

106
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: and do the little things that we do.

107
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: Well in the scope of the last month that's been

108
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: working for you cop Bocaco and abbs us well online together.

109
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think exactly what I just said, kind of

110
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: you know, we're we're we're focusing on the little things.

111
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: We're focusing on, you know, winning battles, making two foot plays,

112
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: supporting each other and playing good d and and we've

113
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: been able to transition a lot of you know, good

114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: d into offense, whether it's two on one, three on twos,

115
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: you know on you know, fast breaks out of the

116
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: out of their ozone. So yeah, you know, it's definitely

117
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: working right now. We're making good plays where we're putting

118
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: the puck in the net, so that obviously feels good.

119
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: But I think it does come down to just doing

120
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: the little things right.

121
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: All right.

122
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: It is a business trip, but of course plenty of

123
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: meeting here for this one, and I don't think but

124
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: here's is gonna have any shortage of motivation for a

125
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: game like this. For tonight, it's joining us now ever

00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: a lot. We took in a lot here that is

160
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: iconic here to the city. And I mentioned previously on

161
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: a radio hit with k Jerr the other day when

162
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: you walk into Madison Square Garden. Not to of course

163
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: too much here from the game this evening. Oh we

164
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: the building has undergone a renovation in the last eleven

165
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: twelve years, but there are still parts of it that

166
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: remain a bit you know, crusty around the edges. And

167
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: that's actually, to me, I think, a compliment because you

168
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: can still walk you know, through parts of it, past

169
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: parts of it as well, and kind of get the

170
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: feeling like this is exactly the way it looks back

171
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: when Mark Messier was in his prime, Adam Graves they

172
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: want a Stanley Cup together, Mike Rick, Debryan Leaf, the

173
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: Knicks at Patrick going, John Starks, even you know, back

174
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: out of the seventies with Phil Esposito coming in, you know,

175
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 2: Roger Gilbert around that time, and also Walt Clyde Frasier.

176
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: With the Knicks as well.

177
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a building that just hits you in

178
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: the face like a tidal way with history.

179
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the cool part. You know. I think so many,

180
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: so many of these teams, NBA, NHL, they're going through

181
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: these new buildings and they're all cookie cutter. And I'll

182
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: tell you what honestly, with the exception of CPA obviously,

183
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: I would say Detroit with Little Caesars Arena. I can't

184
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: honestly think of another newer building that still has character.

185
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: But when you go to a place like Calgary, right

186
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: when you go to MSG, you know the history is there,

187
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: and I love it because you walk around that building,

188
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: that place as a dump in the back, right, you're

189
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: in the bowels of the building, and you know, you're like, oh,

190
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: this is charming. It's a charming dump. But that's like,

191
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's people speak with MSG obviously, with the

192
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: same reverence that I've heard of people speak of the Kingdom, right,

193
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: the Kingdome in Seattle. Yeah, you know, that place wasn't

194
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: anything special, but you know what, you know, you had

195
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 3: the Double in that building, you had all those Mariners

196
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: nineties teams, and you had some great Seahawks moments in

197
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: that building, and it was like that belonged to us

198
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: in Seattle, you know, from what my friends tell me

199
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: and MSG obviously, there are so many great events that

200
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: happened there. But they lot a really good job of

201
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: renovating it and they've modernized it a lot. Again, it

202
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: reminds me a lot of Chicago as well. The United

203
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: Center going on thirty plus years, but it seems like

204
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: every ten years or so they put eight to ten

205
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars in that building to upgrade it, to

206
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: renovate it. You go to the United Center, it doesn't

207
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: feel thirty years old. It feels maybe fifteen years old.

208
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: It feels ten years old. And I think that's because

209
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: they care. And you see an MSG the same thing.

210
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: They put that same amount of care into the renovations.

211
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: But when you're walking around the building, it is like

212
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: this place is kind of all right whatever, But then

213
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 3: you're there for an event. I've seen a Knicks game there.

214
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: I saw a Nick Piston's game last year when we

215
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: had a day off in New York. Obviously, the Rangers

216
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: games that I've been to. I've never seen a concert there,

217
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: but I heard shows they were unbelievable as well. That's

218
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: a great concert venue too, So I love the charm,

219
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: I love the character. I love the history of that

220
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: building and it's it is really special. It's one of

221
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: my favorite buildings to go to in this league.

222
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: It's a concrete jungle in the way that they talk

223
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: about the Kingdome, but I mean, I remember going to

224
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: games there when Griffy was in this prime, and it

225
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: just had a different kind of loud. You have the

226
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: fireworks going off as well. Once the Mariners hit home runs,

227
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: and it just hit difference.

228
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: I got one Kingdome story for you. I was probably

229
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: I was eight or nine, this is like ninety eight.

230
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Went to Seattle on vacation with my mom. Went to

231
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: a Mariner's Tigers game and I caught a I got

232
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: a baseball thrown at me from Seth Greisinger, former Tigers pitcher,

233
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: and there was a deep oh yeah, and there was

234
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: a commotion around the first base dugout. The Mariners dugout.

235
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: So I went over and somebody was signing autographs. So

236
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: I brought my baseball down, got my ball signed by

237
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: some random mariner. Didn't think anything of it. Well, I

238
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: went home and I played with the baseball and I

239
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: lost it and I had like an obleap moment A

240
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: few years a few years later, watching Baseball tonight, that unnamed,

241
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: no named mariner that signed my baseball, Alex Rodriguez, and

242
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: what did you say. I went home and played with it.

243
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: I lost it and it was in It ended up

244
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: in the bushes and I'm watching baseball tonight once and

245
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 3: there was an A Rod highlight and it just hit

246
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: me like a ton of bricks, like a movie flashback.

247
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: I ran out of my house at like nine o'clock

248
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: at night. My mom's like, where the hell are you going.

249
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: I was like, I gotta go find my baseball. Some

250
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: bird took that baseball a long time ago. I'm thinking

251
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: that that ball is still in the bushes and I'm

252
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: tearing up roots and trying to find it. Obviously it

253
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: was gone. But that's about that extra in. Yeah, that

254
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: was that was my one, my one Kingdome story. I

255
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: remember watching that game. We sat in the outfield in

256
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: the bleachers. I couldn't tell you who won, but it

257
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: was really really cool watching Griffy play and watching Edgar

258
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: and uh a Rod and all that and Jay Buner.

259
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if my camera was on the team

260
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: at the time, but yeah he was after Okay, but

261
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 3: yeah no, but uh yeah, that's my one King No memory.

262
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 3: From August to ninety eight, I want to say it

263
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 3: was eight ninety. I think it was ninety eight. August

264
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: and ninety eight, yeah, because I was nine, so August

265
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: and ninety eight is when I was there.

266
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: Depending upon it, Brandon Montur makes it back into the lineup.

267
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: We heard that Lane Lambert say he would be a

268
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: game time decision. I think leans into a great answer.

269
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: I thought that Lane Lambert gave us earlier this morning

270
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: about this team is getting healthier and there will be

271
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: tough decisions here to make with the lineup. But yeah,

272
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: I love this answer where in just kind of paraphrasing this,

273
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: you don't want to look at this as if like

274
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: it's a problem.

275
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, coaches, and you know, you'll say, we've said it.

276
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: I've said it like, oh, this is a good problem

277
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: to have, and he goes, you know what. I've changed

278
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: my tune a little bit in the last couple of

279
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: weeks where I don't I'm starting not to view getting

280
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: back to full health as a problem, you know what,

281
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 3: and we don't think about that. But he's right, and

282
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: I do think, and we've said this on the podcast

283
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: on the Crack and Weekly Show before, I don't envy

284
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: Lane and Jason and the management in the days and

285
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: weeks to come, because you know Montour, I mean, if

286
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: he doesn't play tonight, he's probably gonna go Saturday. Schwartz

287
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: is back, Everly's back, Stevenson's back, cock Go's back to

288
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: full time. Mc Can's back to full time. Matt Murray,

289
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: I mean he he is inches millimeters away from the

290
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: starting line. It feels like, so, I mean this, we're

291
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: going into game what forty six tonight. I believe it

292
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: is forty six for the cracket forty six tonight and

293
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: they have yet to have a full complement of players.

294
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: House is crazy on the roster. Yeah, so there will

295
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: be some tough decisions that'll have to be made coming

296
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: up here in the next little bit, which, again I

297
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: don't envy that, but when you bring a guy like

298
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: Brandon Montour back in, you're giving some more offense from

299
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: the blue line, You're giving a little bit more puck management.

300
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: You've got another option on the power play. And you

301
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: have a guy that his leadership both on the ice

302
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 3: and in the locker room is infectious, and and he

303
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: is a guy that I think can help. He did

304
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 3: not care. He does. He helps drive this lineup and

305
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: in a multitude of areas. So it's only it's not

306
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: a problem, You're right, It's it's not a problem. It's

307
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 3: it's an embarrassment of riches, and I think where the

308
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: Kraken are right now, they're in a good spot. You're

309
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: finding ways to get points. You've got wins in nine

310
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: of your last thirteen games. You've got points in all

311
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: but one of those thirteen games. So you know, for

312
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: for me, getting him back is going to be massive

313
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: for this team. And I think you're gonna shore up

314
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: a few areas that, based on what we've heard from

315
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: players and coaches, may have been lacking in the last

316
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: handful of games.

317
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: This is gonna also, I think keep the lineup honest,

318
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: because I mean, hey, yeah, I mean last two weeks,

319
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean, taking Jacob Alanson out was unfathomable. But all

320
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: of a sudden he finds himself on the sidelines last

321
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: night at New Jerseys. So we'll see what's happened, what's

322
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: gonna happen here for tonight. But I mean I look

323
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: at first to see if Lane wants to keep the

324
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: Ryan Winterton, Ben Myers, Freddie Gudreau line together or not.

325
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: But if you again, this is this is just how

326
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: the much is this lineup doesn't flux because I mean

327
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: we're talking so much about you know, Winterton, Myers, Milanson

328
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: as the fourth line trio that brings identity. But now,

329
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean Goodreau is a big piece of the penalty kill.

330
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: And Ben Myers has been almost you know, to the

331
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: point where you can't take him out of the lineup.

332
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: And he won five or seven face offs at Philadelphia

333
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: last evening. So basically, then what do you do? Well,

334
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: who knows, But eventually Malatson's gonna make us way back in.

335
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: But now this basically lights a fire under a player

336
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: who might have to sit and think this is uncomfortable.

337
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: My next game will be one of my biggest games

338
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: here of the year. And this is why, you know,

339
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: we we call it a good problem to have. Lane

340
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: Lambert doesn't want to, you know, allude to it that way,

341
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: but it keep players hon us and that's what drives energy.

342
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. And I think too, there's nothing wrong,

343
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: inherently wrong anyway with having a guy sit for a

344
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: game or two. You know, you look at a guy

345
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: like Jacob mllonson, who's now fourteen games into his NHL career,

346
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: thirteen fourteen games in his NHL career, he has done

347
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: so many good things. He is a he is a pro.

348
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it in my mind that Jacob

349
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: Allanson will be an NHL player for a very long time.

350
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: But you're right, you know, you know there are there

351
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: are there come those times and hey, it's not a

352
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: bad thing. You're not doing anything bad. But you know what,

353
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: let's have a seat for a bit, Let's just watch

354
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: the game for a little bit, saying we saw the

355
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: same thing with Shane Wright last year. We've seen the

356
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: same thing with a few of the other Ryan Winterton,

357
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: some of the other younger players. And that's okay because

358
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: he will get back into that lineup. I think where

359
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: the where the the big question mark coming in is

360
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: once Montor is ready to go, which by all accounts

361
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: could be tonight or could be Saturday in Utah, is

362
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 3: now you're gonna be over your roster limit because right

363
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 3: now you're at twenty three. So Stevenson comes back in,

364
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: you send down Fisker, Mulgard, Montor comes back, You're at

365
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: twenty four. So who goes down? Who gets put off

366
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: the roster? That is I think gonna be the bigger

367
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: question over lineup because you know Montur is gonna play,

368
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: Stevenson's gonna play. These guys are gonna be in the

369
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: lineup they're going to play, but it's the matter of

370
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: fact of who goes down. And when you look at

371
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: the players that don't require waivers, You've got right, You've

372
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: got Winterton, you've got Malansen. You have a few options

373
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: of guys who don't require waivers to be sent down,

374
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: So that's gonna be an option as well. But again,

375
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: it is an enviable position to be in because if

376
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: you're the Seattle Krack and you're getting healthy at a

377
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: time where other teams are starting to get hurt. And

378
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: let's not forget how many teams have more than six

379
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: guys going to the Olympics in a couple of weeks,

380
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: so they're still gonna be playing games. Then they're gonna

381
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: be going over to Italy, and you're gonna have to

382
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: play what potentially eight games in fourteen days, if not

383
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: fewer because of Olympics and Metal rounds and all of that.

384
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: So if your team can in a team USA, you're

385
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 3: probably gonna be playing eight games in the fourteen day span.

386
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 3: So I'm rambling, but it just it sounds like I

387
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: think for the Krack and they're gonna have to make

388
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: there will be making some decisions here in the next

389
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: twenty four hours, if it, if it, if that were

390
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: my guess, I would say the next twenty four hours,

391
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: we're gonna have a little bit more roster clarity.

392
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 2: If last night told a story, I'm really looking forward

393
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: to how the crack can come out of the shoot

394
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: this sevening, because it was pretty apparent that nobody was

395
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: really into how they played their own game for the

396
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: first forty minutes last night.

397
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, four games in a row this team was conceded

398
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 3: the first goal and it's been a problem. And I

399
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: talked about a little bit of that on our last

400
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: radio broadcast and as well on the last two TV

401
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: side games that I did day and last night, that

402
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: when you get a guy like Everly or yeah, Ebery,

403
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: because he came back, he missed two games, came back,

404
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: Chandler Stevenson. You get him back, you're you're shoring up

405
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 3: your puck management, which I think has been an issue.

406
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: You get your top face off guy back in Chandler Stevenson,

407
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: and now you're gonna get some more responsibility and some

408
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: more offense on the defensive side of the puck from

409
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: Brandon Montour. Whether that be tonight or whether that be

410
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: on Saturday. So I think a lot of the areas

411
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: that we've seen fall and dip a little bit in

412
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 3: the last couple of games, those will be shored up

413
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 3: here in the short term. But you're right, I mean,

414
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: the starts have to be better, at least on the road.

415
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: I mean, if there's a saving grace to all of this,

416
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: you're losing points, quote unquote losing points in the Eastern Conference.

417
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 3: In the long run, those points won't matter as much.

418
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: Now you gotta win Saturday in Utah, Like, that's a

419
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: team that's gonna be chasing you and the Kraken. At

420
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: least as of right now, we're gonna be hovering around

421
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: that third in the division slash first second wildcard spot.

422
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: So Utah as a team that's gonna be right on

423
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: your backside for the rest of the year. So I mean,

424
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: if you if you're gonna drop points, if you're gonna struggle,

425
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: I guess you'd rather be to the East. But you

426
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 3: need to pick up points Saturday for sure. But tonight,

427
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: what a what a big win this would be for

428
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: the Krack and Joey Decord. Matty Beanier's back home. Matti

429
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 3: Baniers has had some good games to Cords had some

430
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 3: good games in this building. The emotions are gonna be

431
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: highs at dan O'shara, uh, you know very well deservedly

432
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 3: was gonna have his number retired here, and there's gonna

433
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: be a lot of pomp and circumstance and fanfare around that.

434
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: It would be wonderful if the crack and could spoil

435
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: that here tonight, use that potential distraction for the Bruins

436
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 3: to their advantage before we get out of here.

437
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: One thing that I really appreciate, and I'll let you

438
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: chime into about the Boston Bruins and the legacy that

439
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: they left and what we'll be seeing front and center

440
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: here for this evening is the leadership that was in

441
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: that room front and center. Shara a big part of it.

442
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: And that twenty ten and eleven team that beat the

443
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: Vancouver Canucks in seven games was an embodiment a perseverance

444
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: and an embodiment of death. You had, Shara, You had

445
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: Patrice bergeron coming into his prime. He had David Cracie

446
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: coming into his prime. Milan lud Chich was leading score

447
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: tied with Crazie on that team. Funny enough, and lud

448
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: Chich had thirty goals to lead Boston that season. But

449
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: up and down you had depth all the round offensively,

450
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: but Ludchiach and Creacie sixty two points to lead that

451
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: team that year, and then in gold Tim Thomas to

452
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: Garascus Well had a solid tandem under head coach Claude Julian.

453
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be a lot of fun to look

454
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: at some of the throwbacks from a team that really

455
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: defined a big piece of sports legacy in this town

456
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: and really in the NHL fifteen years ago.

457
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Boston Bruins team. That was a team that

458
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: was built and did everything the right way. Not only

459
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: did they play the right way, but their commitment to

460
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: their off ice workouts, their commitment to their their image

461
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 3: in the community, into being ambassadors, into being you know,

462
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 3: knowing what it's like and what it means to play

463
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: in the National Hockey League. I think so many players

464
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: we hear now you know, these.

465
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 5: Kids today ticket for granted. They they think they're gonna

466
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 5: get by on their skill alone. And that team they

467
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 5: worked hard. And I remember Dave Tomlinson telling me a

468
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 5: long time ago when he was with us still because

469
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 5: he was on the Vancouver Canuck broadcast crew at the

470
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 5: time for that far, that Stanley Cup Final series, and

471
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 5: he said, watching the Boston Bruins that year that that

472
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: should be, you know, a model for franchises on how

473
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 5: you build a team, how you coach a team, how

474
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: you carry yourself. And Lane Lambert told us this morning,

475
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 5: and we're gonna play the interview here tonight. So Dan

476
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 5: o'charro is probably the most favorite player he's ever coached,

477
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 5: you know. He said he was thirty seven years old

478
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 5: when he got him on the island, but still, you know,

479
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 5: his favorite player, and and he loved coaching against him,

480
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: and just hisment in his dedication that whole team embodied

481
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 5: all of that. So I'm looking forward to that.

482
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 3: I think just as a as a hockey fan in general,

483
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: there have been players that it's so weird now, you know,

484
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: as a fan my entire life, but really in the

485
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: last ten twelve years of my professional career seeing these

486
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 3: guys that I really enjoyed watching now calling their games,

487
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: but also seeing like a Jerome Againla. You know, there

488
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 3: was a ceremony that I was at where he was

489
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 3: being honored. Seeing a guy like Dane Chara, a guy

490
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: that I watched as a kid now having his number

491
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: raised here in Boston. It's gonna be cool for me

492
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: as a sports fan to see that and to be

493
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: a part of the whole thing. But like I said earlier,

494
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: want the crack and to use that to their advantage

495
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: and potentially, you know, catch the Bruins off guard, catch

496
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: him sleeping like they did, you know against I remember

497
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: Vegas actually early the year Vegas won the Cup, Seattle

498
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: went in there for the banner raising ceremony, and I

499
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: think it was the first five minutes of that period

500
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: they got up by a goal or something like that.

501
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: They really caught Vegas on their heels and then well

502
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: we know what happened to us, right, But yeah, different team,

503
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 3: different coachings, to have different formula and system. But you

504
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 3: put up seven on them last week. So let's let's honor,

505
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: let's pay respect to one of the best in our

506
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: league's history. But let's go out there and get two points.
