28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,959

00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,679

Speaker 3: some payback against the San Jose Sharks, all the while

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,960

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,920

Speaker 3: Here's how matters progressed with the Kraken back home, looking

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,600

Speaker 4: With three twenty nine to play in regulation.

184
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 6: Well, there's that hard work I talked about. This time

185
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 6: it's Ryan Lingard in the corner going to battle and

186
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 6: getting the puck up the boards and who's waiting for

187
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 6: it there, James Schwartz and he AMers this puck down

188
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 6: the ice into the open cage for one cracket.

189
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 11: I just wanted to be a hard team to play against.

190
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 11: How do you feel that team's progressing in that regard.

191
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 12: I think we're doing a good job.

192
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: Our guys.

193
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 12: You know, they are committed. They've done a good job

194
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 12: of that, and I feel like, you know, they're starting

195
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 12: to take ownership of the way we play. So I

196
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 12: think we've done a good job.

197
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 11: You've the last couple of times you've talked to the media,

198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 11: you've mentioned right as a shooter. What is your take

199
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 11: on that?

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: That is it?

201
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 11: His shot? Is his his ability to know when to shoot?

202
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 11: What what makes him a shooter?

203
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 12: I think it's his shot, you know, and he does

204
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 12: have a pretty a decent knack for knowing when to shoot.

205
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 12: Although we're still working with him, I think we can

206
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 12: help him out in that manner, you know, And as

207
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 12: he gets used to the wing here a little bit,

208
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 12: I think you'll find different areas of different ways to

209
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 12: get his shot off.

210
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 11: Anything obviously home standing, get five ou to six points,

211
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 11: anything that you wanted to work on both today or

212
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 11: on this road trip to be better that they're coming

213
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 11: out of that Homestand.

214
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we want to work on being better

215
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 12: and in a lot of different areas, you know. I thought,

216
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 12: you know, at the start of the game last game,

217
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 12: and certainly at the start of the second period, we're

218
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 12: we're pretty I don't know if i'd use the word loose,

219
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 12: but you know, we gave up some opportunities and our

220
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 12: goaltender had to bail us out. So you know, we've

221
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 12: continued to talk about creating offense. We found a way

222
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 12: to score some goals the last couple of games. But

223
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 12: just because you know, you shut a team down, or

224
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 12: just because you score a few goals, doesn't mean you

225
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 12: don't have to continue working on each and every part

226
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 12: of your game.

227
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 7: Up on the quarter portal of the season, you talked

228
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 7: a little bit about play being hard to play against.

229
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 7: But outside of that, what are the areas you feel

230
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 7: from day one to now your team has improved the

231
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 7: most on and where do you feel this team can can.

232
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 13: Get better at?

233
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Well?

234
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 12: I think we you know, I think defensively, we've done

235
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 12: a pretty decent job, you know, with with how we

236
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 12: want to play. I think there's been you know, there's

237
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 12: been improvements from day one, and again, like I said,

238
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 12: it's just you have to continue to to work on things,

239
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 12: continue to improve on things, you know, through the neutral zone.

240
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 12: I think we're doing a decent job. I think, you know,

241
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 12: I think we we try to play fast. I think

242
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 12: there's some nights when we can play faster and then

243
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 12: you know, offensively, that'll help piggyback our offense and and

244
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 12: you know, help us score more. But certainly, you know,

245
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 12: there's it's it's it's always a work in progress, and

246
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 12: I think the guys have I think they've done a

247
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 12: good job to this point. But that's just to this point,

248
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 12: and you know, what happens from here is what matters you.

249
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 6: Maddie and Stevie on the PK looks like today for

250
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 6: a little bit. Is that just giving you a third

251
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 6: option or is that situational thing?

252
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 12: Well, they both play it anyways. You know today they

253
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 12: did it together simply because they were on the other

254
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 12: power play and we wanted them to get reps. So,

255
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 12: you know, typically if you're looking at our PK pairs,

256
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 12: you know, Chandler was starting with Karta and now Freddie is.

257
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 12: But you know the reason they were together today, that

258
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 12: two of them was because we you know, they had

259
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 12: just played on the Power Play and we wanted to

260
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 12: get them some reps on the Palley Kill.

261
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 11: Any updates you got two guys here, Decord and mccayn.

262
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 11: Any updates on those.

263
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Two progressing nicely?

264
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 12: Both of them practice today, so you know, both of

265
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 12: them still on IR and we'll see where we go

266
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 12: here tomorrow, but certainly having them here and having them

267
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 12: in practice as a positive sign.

268
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 11: Back in Seattle, Coppo and Murray.

269
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, Coppo is still week to week and Murray is

270
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 12: being evaluated. We don't have we don't have an update

271
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 12: on him until we get a little bit more information.

272
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 7: Looking at this road trip, do you break this down?

273
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 7: How do you break this road trip down? Is there

274
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 7: a baseline of points you're looking for? What's that goal

275
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 7: for you in these next four games?

276
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 12: You just take it one game at a time, and

277
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 12: you know, we we want to put our best foot

278
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 12: forward to try and win every every game we're in,

279
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 12: regardless of whether it's you know, this road trip or

280
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 12: a homestand or whatever we might whatever we might see.

281
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 12: So you know, there's the goal is to win every night,

282
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 12: you know, and I know you're not going to but

283
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 12: that's the goal and the focus is the next game.

284
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: All right.

285
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: That update from Crack and head coach Lane Lambert meeting

286

294
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: bar set five points out of six. I'll get to

Speaker 1: The parade last.

300
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: Night was really nice. The police escort from the airport

301
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: to the hotel was lovely.

302
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 7: I thought that the fireworks were a nice touch. The

303
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 7: fireworks were real nice touch. They brought out some Detroit legends.

317
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: this for about an or twenty minutes here with a

318
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: digital landscape. But let's do this here. I think Al's

319
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: got to get to mom Spaghetti, that's the Eminem's restaurant

320
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: here in a little bit. We got to let him

321
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: go as well too, So we're gonna get right to everything.

322
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Five points out of six fellas from this last week,

323
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: the Columbus game, the Winnipeg game, the San Jose game.

324
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: I admit to feeling a.

325
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: Little bit of peril after what I thought was a

326
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: very very winnable game against Columbus last week. But did

327
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: the cracknever turn the tables against Winnipeg and San Jose

328
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: to the point now where I'm already calling it this

329
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 3: is a team that is forming into something real. But

330
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: I was saying this last week. People take notes. The

331
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: Kraken are winning games when they aren't at their best.

332
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: And the more important part of this is they beat

333
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: a legit Winnipeg team. We know that that that they've

334
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: got their awards. But they are doing this now without

335
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: Jared McCann and we'll talk about this soon, but he

336
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: might be back. Largely without Freddie Gadreau and largely with

337
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: a goaltending situation in flux.

338
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: Last couple of weeks.

339
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: They haven't had to pitch perfect games against some very

340
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 3: very good teams to begin this season.

341
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: So I say, if folks enough respect, respect.

342
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: No respect, I tell you, I tell you they's crack

343
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: in here. No listen.

344
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 7: I think Seattle, they're playing the way that they have

345
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 7: to play.

346
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 13: Right.

347
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 7: You've got points in three straight, You've got points in

348
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 7: nine of your last eleven.

349
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: I think if you can.

350
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 7: Keep this up, you know, for every ten games, every

351
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 7: twenty points, if you're bringing home fifteen out of those

352
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 7: twenty points, fourteen out of those twenty points, you're going

353
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 7: to lose, you know, but if you can continue to

354
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 7: rack up points where it matters, I mean, you're still

355
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 7: going to be playing after April sixteenth. And I think

356
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 7: right now what they're doing is is exactly what we expected,

357
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 7: what we thought, and that was playing good hockey, that

358
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 7: was playing competitive hockey.

359
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: You know, say what you want about the offense the last.

360
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 7: Two games, it's come around with nine goals in two games.

361
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: But I do feel like this team is.

362
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 7: Doing exactly what I think was expected of them internally,

363
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 7: and that was playing good defense and being at every game.

364
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would add to that, and I posted these

365
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 6: stats on Twitter yesterday that Seattle is the only team

366
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 6: with three goaltenders. With three goaltenders, but Seattle is the

367
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 6: only team with three cold goaltenders that have played five

368
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: games or more, all three of them that all have

369
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 6: nine hundred or better save percentages. There are other than

370
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 6: that three, but not all three of them have nine

371
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 6: hundred save percentages and they don't all have five games.

372
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 6: So what that tells me is that Seattle has a

373
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 6: three goalie system, which we've talked a lot about about

374
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 6: how long is this going to go in the season

375
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 6: that's currently paying off. It's paying off because Joey Tocord

376
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 6: goes out with an injury. Philip Grubauer plays some of

377
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 6: his best hockey that I've seen in two seasons. Matt

378
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 6: Murray looks fantastic. They're both filling the gap. Matt Murray

379
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 6: goes out and injured, Joey to Cord likely coming back

380
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 6: sometime this week. Like this three goalie system is paying

381
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 6: off right now in the month of November, and the

382
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 6: stats showing.

383
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: And I think you're getting with the three goalies. You're getting.

384
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 7: The performances that I think number one you would expect

385
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 7: to get, but you're also making life. I guess it's

386
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 7: a double edged sword, difficult or easy for management and coaches,

387
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 7: right because I mean it's easy because at least now

388
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 7: you know that you've got three goalies through the first

389
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 7: eighteen nineteen games.

390
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: Of the season. You know that you can put in

391
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: and get results.

392
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 7: But I also feel like you know, and I think

393
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 7: you and I al are on this same page, and

394
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 7: I think Mike hereer this as well. It still might

395
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 7: not be advantageous to carry three goalies into January, into

396
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 7: the Olympic break, So you would. You'd like to think

397
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 7: that there may have to be a decision at some

398
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 7: point made, But right now it's working and they're finding

399
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 7: ways to win.

400
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, I say this understanding how it sounds.

401
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 7: You're helped by the fact that there have been injuries,

402
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 7: which you don't ever want injuries. But when Joey goes

403
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 7: out for those four games, Matt Murray and Philip Gruenbauer come.

404
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: In or to play very very well, you know you're

405
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: you've got a good problem to have. But I also

406
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: still maybe go back to the I wonder how long

407
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: you can continue to have three goalies.

408
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 6: I'll add to what you said Thereret is when when

409
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 6: a Goldie goes out injured, you're not crossing your fingers

410
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 6: going gosh, I hope the backup can cover the lobo.

411
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 6: I hope the guys can really keep tucks. These guys

412
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 6: are playing fantastic even when you got one goalie out injured.

413
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the last game Matt Murray goes out in

414
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 7: the last seventeen seconds of the game, I didn't have

415
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 7: the oh bleep feeling like, man, now you've got a

416
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 7: cold goalie coming in. You knew that Philip Gruenbauer played

417
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 7: really well his last game. I felt bad for him

418
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 7: because he got tested early in that second period and

419
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 7: the guy came in ice cold and he had to

420
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 7: make some, you know, really remarkable saves and he did

421
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 7: just that. But you're right like that, the confidence was there,

422
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 7: and I think a lot of that credit goes to

423
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 7: Collins Zulianello and and how he's been able to Goldie

424
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 7: coach for Seattle, how he's been able to manage the

425
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 7: loads and work with the goaltenders and all of that,

426
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 7: and you know, I think it's been a good system

427
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 7: so far.

428
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: The injuries are a part of this, which leads us

429
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: here from the goalie conversation and this caroussel into this

430
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: next one. Coppo conco is week to week. Jared mccam

431
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: we hinted at this maybe maybe not, but looking like

432
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: maybe he could be back here for this week.

433
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: Matt Murray. Status of courus very very very much up

434
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: in the air.

435
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 3: So depending upon when this gets sorted out, a decision

436
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: might have to come as far as this goalie caroussel.

437
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: But I touch on this with Coco out who's going

438
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: to be that next man up right now? Because I

439
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: think We've already sawd this part with Matty Baniers's line

440
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: he and Jordan Eberley, and to some degree, you have

441
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: to admit, last couple of games, Mason Marchman have looked great.

442
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 6: Mason Marshman has moved around the lineup a little bit,

443
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 6: and I think that you're starting to see a little

444
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 6: bit of what he can bring with this combination he's

445
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 6: on right now in Veneer's and every and if he

446
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 6: makes those other two guys better because of his big

447
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 6: man play, if his work along the boards, if getting

448
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 6: pucks to Maddie and Ebbs for shots on goal feeds

449
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 6: into his game, then I like it. But I think

450
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 6: that it's taken eighteen games to figure out where the

451
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 6: best spot for him is, and it looks like over

452
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 6: the last couple anyway, this might be the right spot.

453
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Marchman. I mean, it provides a really

454
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 7: good opportunity for him. I think, you know, I'm gonna

455
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 7: go back to Shane right, Ellie's Hobden. You know, Tolbanden

456
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 7: continues to get points, right, he's been. It was a

457
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 7: slow start to the season for him, but et has

458
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 7: found a way to get points. He's got points in

459
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 7: seven of his last nine.

460
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: I believe I have written out.

461
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, seven of his last nine games, Hobanen has got points,

462
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 7: so he's his game is starting to come along. So

463
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 7: you know, I'm looking at him to step up, continue,

464
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 7: not not even step up, but continue his recent offensive success.

465
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: I'd love to see Shane Wright, you know, get a couple.

466
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 7: Of more and put himself, you know, back on the

467
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 7: score sheet, back to back games, three of every four games,

468
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 7: things like that. So there it does prevent or present

469
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 7: some opportunity. And also Yanni Newman. You know, I think

470
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 7: Yanni Neuman last game he only had five and a

471
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 7: half six minutes, so wondering, you know, what he can do,

472
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 7: how can he continue to improve and grow in his

473
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 7: role as well?

474
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: He only had eight shifts in that game. And Lane

475
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 3: Lambert explained more of this in post games, saying that

476
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: because the whole flux of penalties that really threw his

477
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: rotations at five on five for a loop, and unfortunately

478
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: Newman was the odd man out. So people watching the

479
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: game real time of thinking, okay, what did he do

480
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: to not earn more ice time out there? But if

481
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: you go back and think there is still there is

482
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: still a room for him because of his big frame

483
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: that he can use and then definitely his shot. So

484
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: the assumption would be coming up for Detroit this week,

485
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: coming up for Chicago, if you can keep playing stable

486
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: at five on five, very well be more chances for

487
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: Newman to be productive.

488
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a great comment, Mike, and you're right with

489
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 6: Ty Karche and Freddie Gadriau, the other two guys on

490
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 6: that Newman line doing penalty kill. If you take six

491
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 6: penalties in a game, they're playing an extra six minutes.

492
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 6: If you figure they're playing half the penalty kill, they're

493
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 6: playing on extra six minutes of hockey. So that coupled

494
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 6: with the six minutes they play five on five, there's

495
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 6: your difference right there. So it's not penalizing Yanni Neuman.

496
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 6: It's because he's not part of that special teams group

497
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 6: that had to play a lot in that sentas a game.

498
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: Now, here's the one thing about when Jared mccannon is

499
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: fit to get back into the lineup, who's going to

500
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 3: be the odd man out or who's going to maybe

501
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: feel that strongest sense of competition. Yanni Newman has a

502
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: specific fit for his type of game, especially here on

503
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: the power play. That's going to create a little more

504
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: internal competition. I would think, not just on special teams

505
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: because McCann fits back there, but also mccam is one

506
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: of your top six guys. Newman's more lotted up and

507
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 3: down the lineup right now.

508
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this when with McCann coming back, assuming

509
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 7: it's set some point on this road trip, we hope.

510
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 7: I think it presents an issue that you've got with

511
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 7: the goaltenders as well.

512
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: Right, it's a good problem to have. You don't envy it.

513
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: But I think for me, and when I say.

514
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 7: Odd Man out, I don't necessarily mean out of the lineup,

515
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 7: but maybe having to find a new spot as Mason

516
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 7: marshmot because right now he's on that top line with

517
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 7: Veneers and every well, nineteen ten and seven have had

518
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 7: a lot of chemistry and history together in the last

519
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 7: couple of years. So I think, you know, let's say,

520
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 7: for argument's sake, McCann comes back tomorrow against the Wings, right,

521
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 7: So then are you going to slide Marchment back to

522
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 7: the third line with you know Catten and right are you're.

523
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: Gonna put right back in the middle, move Catton to

524
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: the wings?

525
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 9: You know what?

526
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean, like like, there's a lot that.

527
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 7: Could happen with that, and again this should just be

528
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 7: speculat but I think that's the spot where McCann's gonna go.

529
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 7: But as far as lineup goes, you know, maybe it

530
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 7: is Yannie Duman coming out.

531
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 2: Who knows.

532
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 6: Well, I would add to that and just say that,

533
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 6: you know, when I look at the lineup, I think

534
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 6: that Yanny Newman is probably the guy that gets moved

535
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 6: out of the lineup. You probably shift somebody from that

536
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 6: left side. You got Marchman, Schwartz, Tolbanan, and Kara whoever

537
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 6: can play the right wing shifts over. Okay, probably probably

538
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 6: tol Winterton comes down to that fourth line to fill

539
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 6: the new Newman slot. That opens up the slot from McCann.

540
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 6: And I don't disagree with you, Everett that I have

541
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 6: to think that that McCann starts in that top line

542
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 6: with Veneers Neverley, but maybe not. I mean it doesn't

543
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 6: play in the game. In the game in Detroit tomorrow

544
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 6: and March Vaneers Neverley put up three goals between the

545
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 6: three of them. Maybe you don't want to break that

546
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 6: up right away, but I gotta believe at some point

547
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 6: he ends up there.

548
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: I was gonna say too. I mean that that's the

549
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: perfect point.

550
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 7: If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right, I mean

551
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 7: you're fixing off really well. Yeah, exactly exactly if you

552
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 7: And that's where I think a lot of times we've

553
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 7: seen this with Dave Hackstall, with Dan Biosma.

554
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: Before.

555
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 7: You've played some good stretches of games with the lineup

556
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 7: that you have, you bring someone back into that lineup,

557
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 7: and now you're like, oh goodness, like, well, I really

558
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 7: don't want to break up X, Y and Z, but

559
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 7: you know, yeah X is in so and so spot,

560
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 7: but X works really well. So again it's those puzzle

561
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 7: pieces and yeah, McCann's got to come back in.

562
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: But like you said, they're coming off of a five

563
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: point night.

564
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 7: Let's say, do you really want to break that line

565
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 7: up on what would that be Thursday in Chicago?

566
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: Again, assuming he comes back in tomorrow, we're gonna get just.

567
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 6: As simple as stock wrecking them one through twelve. That's saying, okay,

568
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 6: number twelve, you get bumped, and you know you've got

569
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 6: to figure out who's playing best with who. Sorry, Mike, go.

570
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: Exactly we're gonna get to Dave McCarthy in a little bit.

571
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 3: He's been doing his homework on this team and has

572
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: got a great based viewpoint of the Western and Eastern

573
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: Conference as well in a pretty important matter we're touching

574
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: on as far as what's coming up here for the

575
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: crack and on this next swing. Dave McCarthy again joining

576
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 3: us here from sirius XM NHL Network Radio. In just

577
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: a bit, I want to touch on Freddie Gudreaux because

578
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: I mentioned, in comparison to a guy like Ryker Evans,

579
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: there's really not so much a D man that you're

580
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: putting in like Evans where you're gonna see a boltload

581
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: of points. Like say, I'm just using the extreme version here,

582
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: Cale mccarr, but he makes this defense and this team

583
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: much more mobile, especially breaking out of their zone. Likewise,

584
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: with Freddy Gadreau, there's an impact you feel sometimes that

585
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 3: will reach deeper numbers or not even hit the stat

586
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: sheet as well. I go back and think, first off,

587
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: the face offs that will come around. He had a

588
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: rough night against San Jose, but that's gonna eventually turn

589
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: around because he's your most important faceoff guy, arguably taking

590
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: more heat off of Chandler Stephenson. Then there's this impact

591
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: I think Shorthanded and the one show he nearly put

592
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: on taking the puck away from Will Smith, taking off

593
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: of a breakaway and just missing under the bar on

594
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: Alex Nadalkovich. He's not going to pop your thirty goals

595
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: a year. He still could hit fifteen to twenty, but

596
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: there's so much more he does to help keep this

597
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: lineup together, which is why he was such a welcomed addition.

598
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had a chance to talk to him a

599
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 6: little bit today in the media scrum, and you just

600
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 6: get a sense from listening to him that he knows

601
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 6: his role, he knows what he brings to a team,

602
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 6: and he wants to show it every single game, whether

603
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 6: that is winning a face off, whether that is getting

604
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 6: an odd breakaway, contributing on the score sheet when he

605
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 6: can making his linemates better. He's not looking to crack

606
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 6: the top line, even the second second line. He wants

607
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 6: to play the best hockey he can possibly play on

608
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: the fourth line and contribute as a fourth liner.

609
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: And I love that about him.

610
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the cracking had been very lucky to

611
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 7: have Goodreau and Ben Myers in that fourth line center spot.

612
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: They've really been able to hold the four down.

613
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 7: And I think for me, just having watched Ben Myers' game,

614
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 7: the only difference.

615
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: That I see between those two is just that Freddy's.

616
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 7: Been doing it longer and then he's a bit more refined, right,

617
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 7: So I think with Freddy coming back in, it was

618
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 7: a little seamless at least for me. But I thought, Freddy,

619
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 7: you know he got that breakaway, right, there are a

620
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 7: few other additional things he could do on the PK.

621
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 7: I think he got five PK shifts in that game, right,

622
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 7: So you're seeing the more refined bottom six grinding role

623
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 7: that he can play, and ultimately it led his success.

624
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 7: I mean, you don't score last season eighteen goals, two

625
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 7: years before that nineteen goals, Like that's not an accident.

626
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 7: That's because of how he plays. You're not getting, you know,

627
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 7: thirty seven plus points in three of your last four

628
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 7: years on accident.

629
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: And that's so important because the way that this team

630
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: has to operate, there's no bona fide, elite level top

631
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: line superstar here to carry them in games like Ronto

632
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: Can Edmonton, Cam Toronto.

633
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Who's got there?

634
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: She still has Austin Matthews though, even if Guinny Malkin,

635
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: who's found the fountain of youth with Sidney Crosby out

636
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh.

637
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: To keep them right now in the conversation, so.

638
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: Goodrou is a very important part of this here as

639
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: far as the depth side of things, before we get

640
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: to Dave McCarthy. Big names off the board. Recently here

641
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 3: I took note of in the NHL where we were

642
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: thinking of this is going to be the land of

643
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: milk and hunting here for free agency this next summer.

644
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: It is drawing up awfully fast. Adrian kemp Age just

645
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: signing his extension with the Kings. Add to that Jack

646
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: Eichel is now extended. Carell Capri saw the Minnesota Martin Nhius,

647
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: Connor McDavid. The one and only the last set of

648
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: names available right now are Timmy Peneren who is thirty four,

649
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: Rasmus Anderson, Alex Tuck, Mike Matheson, John Carlson, Nick Schmaltz,

650
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 3: Adam Lowry and Malkin who is now thirty nine years

651
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: of age, which leads me here to this. It gets

652
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: us right back here to this most important thing of

653
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: why you have to solve this issue internally. You have

654
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: to draft and develop your own talent today or use

655
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: what you have to make a trade here. So how

656
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: far along are we with seeing with what guys are doing,

657
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: like say, not just Shane right, but also Matty Banier's recently.

658
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's.

659
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 7: This, This is a big year for those two, and

660
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 7: I think we're already starting to see it a lot

661
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 7: with Matty Beaneer's right, this is I think his best season.

662
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 7: That not obviously from a number standpoint, but from the

663
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 7: way that his game is evolving and developing.

664
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: He's becoming a two way centerman.

665
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 7: He's been playing, you know, very responsibly defensively, He's getting

666
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 7: more PK time, which is nothing new, but you're just

667
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 7: seeing all areas of his game start to come together.

668
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 7: And I think after this season, the Kraken, you know,

669
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 7: unfortunately aren't probably going to be saved.

670
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: By free agency. You know who else is on that list,

671
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: James Fordgen Yeah.

672
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: Also, I gotta save your own guys now too.

673
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 7: You gotta say, you gotta save your own bacon before

674
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 7: you can go out there and eat someone else's.

675
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: So you like that one out.

676
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: Save that one of the drafts?

677
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I think, uh yeah, just going through this

678
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 7: list right now, A lot of really good middle six guys,

679
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 7: a lot of guys that can be some great ancillary pieces,

680
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 7: but there's no one on this I'm just looking through

681
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 7: right now.

682
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: Don't move a superstar needle. They don't. I mean, well,

683
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: O Bekin's yes, but he's also up there in the

684
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: in the the the Amalcan territory with Age yea, but.

685
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 7: Hey he's still a ve right, I mean, maybe we

686
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 7: can go from one Washington to another. Right, you're closer

687
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 7: to Russia on this side anyway. No I say, I

688
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 7: say that in jest, but no, I do think you

689
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 7: know you're gonna start looking now, O Coachella Valley, You're

690
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 7: gonna start looking at some of these guys who are

691
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 7: overseas or in junior hockey. Who who you're looking to

692
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 7: make that next step? Jagger Fercus just one AHL player

693
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 7: of the week. You know he's coming along nicely as well.

694
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 7: This could be an opportunity for Fercus next year to

695
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 7: come in and be be that next wave.

696
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: Right, So, internally, I think as where a lot of

697
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: these issues, potential issues are going to have to be solved.

698
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: Well, here's I'm gonna get onto this here and fits

699
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: perfect segue because as a crack can continue to work

700
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 3: and develop. We now have I mean Oscar Fisker moleguards

701
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 3: in this conversation of potentially helping this team, but he

702
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 3: serves a different type of role. But we look at Fercus.

703
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 3: You mentioned player of the week Jacob Mallanson coming also

704
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 3: off his first hat trick of his pro career as well.

705
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 3: Fercus is hot. Malanson plays a game that is easily

706
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 3: translatable right now to how this Kraken team plays.

707
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: So who's closer right now to an AHL call up?

708
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 9: You think.

709
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 6: I mean Mitchell Stevens as well. I was gonna that

710
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 6: through Mitchell Stevens in there as well. You know, we

711
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 6: liked what we saw from Ben Myers who just got

712
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 6: sent back down. There's a handful of guys, Mike that

713
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 6: that that could fill the bill and and some of

714
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 6: them are playing really well right now. And sorry, let's

715
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 6: go ahead.

716
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say you kind of hit the

717
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: hit the nail on the head there.

718
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 7: I think for me, you know the way that Oscar

719
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 7: Fisker Molgard played in preseason, I think it was John

720
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 7: Foresland who called him Dnty Moore. Just you know, a

721
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 7: nice meat and potatoes stew right, like he's gonna work

722
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 7: hard for you, and I think he's you know, you

723
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 7: were saying Mike that that he's pretty close. You know,

724
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 7: I think that Jacob Allonson. We saw a lot from

725
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 7: him last year in the one game that he played,

726
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 7: and then in training camp as well. So you know,

727
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 7: it all also depends on what happens with this team, right,

728
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 7: You're hoping the team stays healthy. You're hoping that you

729
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 7: don't need to call guys up. But now you're looking

730
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 7: for who's gonna be the best option to fit your role,

731
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 7: to fit your needs. Knowing what they have in a

732
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 7: Jacob Malanson in an Oscar Fisker Buleguard, I would probably

733
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 7: venture those two or maybe ahead of Furcus a little

734
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 7: bit on the forward side of things. Obviously on the

735
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 7: defensive side of the puff Kale Flurries here, Josh Mahurris here,

736
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 7: So you would need to have a couple of more

737
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 7: injuries to get you know, de prospects up here.

738
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: But I mean Villi.

739
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 7: Odoviden, Tyson Jugnas. I would love to see Tyson Jugnaf

740
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 7: in a game that matters, not preseason, right, So I

741
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 7: think the Kraken have a lot of really good options that,

742
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 7: at least based on how they've performed, I'm very comfortable

743
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 7: with putting them in a lineup, you know tomorrow if

744
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 7: you had.

745
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 3: To Detroit, coming up, Chicago, coming up, Pittsburgh and the

746
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 3: Islander result wrapping up this back to back this next weekend.

747
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: Perfect time now to go to the Beacon Plumbing hotline.

748
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: Great to introduce Dave McCarthy here to crack and Weekly,

749
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 3: a steamed host of the Brunch. You can hear him

750
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: on sirius xm NHL Network Radio. Does fantastic workout there

751
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: other Leaves and Toronto Bass Ventures as well.

752
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: Dave, great to have you.

753
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: Are you taking care of our good people over there

754
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 3: like Scotty Loflin, mccernin and to the rest here for us.

755
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 9: Big boys, they can take care of themselves. They tend

756
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 9: to be in very positive moods without my effortvescens helping

757
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 9: him out.

758
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: J Con Everett's boys also in that mix too as well.

759
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: Dave, all first begin before we kind of go around

760
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: the horn with where the crack and are head of

761
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: here for this East Coast road trip, just on the

762
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 3: general sense of where this team is at exactly winning

763
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: records so far, and we're almost to us Thanksgiving. They

764
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: beat Winnipeg five to three days before this show. They're

765
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: doing this without Jared McCann. They're doing this recently without

766
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: Joey Decor. They're doing this without the eighteen goals that

767
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 3: Freddie Goodreaux had last year. And they're doing this still

768
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: waiting for a top line bona fide star forward to

769
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 3: either develop or if they can acquire one. So really,

770
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 3: at this point in November, what are the remaining questions

771
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: about the Kraken that you or others might have from

772
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 3: say twenty thousand feet at this point of the season.

773
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 9: Well, I've been really impressed with what I've seen out

774
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 9: of the Kraken to this point. When they roll through Toronto, Man,

775
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 9: was that two or three weeks ago? Now? I just

776
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 9: I really like their team game, Like you could tell

777
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 9: that a system and a style and an expectation have

778
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 9: been installed by Lane Lambert and everybody was playing to that.

779
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 9: I think that's what Seattle needs to do in order

780
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 9: to have success. They do not have the horses to

781
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 9: be able to run up and down the ice and

782
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 9: to get into a track meet with teams on a

783
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 9: nightly basis and expect to win. That that will not work.

784
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 9: And so what I think Lane is asking him to

785
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 9: do is not easy. But if they're willing to buy in,

786
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 9: I think they've got a group that that can have

787
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 9: success playing that way. And I was impressed how the

788
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 9: whole group seemed to commit to that style. You know,

789
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 9: I think for some teams a good start is more

790
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 9: important than others. Now, Tampa Bay started no good, but

791
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 9: you know, I don't think too many people were concerned

792
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 9: about Tampa Bay. And there we sit there, they're starting

793
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 9: to come there. I think they're gonna be okay. For

794
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 9: a team like Seattle that came off a down year

795
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 9: last year, I think it's important to come into the

796
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 9: year have some success off the hop and I think

797
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 9: I've talked to a lot of guys that can totally

798
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 9: change your mindset as a group. When you start coming

799
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 9: to the rink, you start to feel like you're a

800
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 9: good team, You feel like you have a chance. What

801
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 9: the coach is telling you not only is it making sense,

802
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 9: but it's working and it's yielding results, which makes you

803
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 9: want to double down in and recommit to that even further.

804
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 9: Compared to if you're you're not having success, uh, and

805
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 9: then you get to to us Thanksgiving or as you

806
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 9: guys call it in the United States Thanksgiving and and

807
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 9: and you're a good team and you see yourself in

808
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 9: a playoff spot and not really springboards your your team

809
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 9: moving forward. So I don't think you could have asked

810
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 9: for a better start. My primary question with Seattle is

811
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 9: will they be able to score enough? They don't have

812
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 9: to score five six goals every night, but will they

813
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 9: be able to score enough? I think that's gonna be

814
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 9: my question moving forward with them this year because defensively,

815
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 9: from a system standpoint, goaltending, I've been pretty impressed. From

816
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 9: from that standpoint.

817
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: What was it about Lane Lambert in what he did

818
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 3: behind the bench last year with Craig Bruby that you're

819
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: reminded of, which is translating here to this good start

820
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 3: here so far?

821
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 9: Well, the Leaps played a simple style defensively last year,

822
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 9: and they did not shoot themselves in the foot very

823
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 9: often like under Sheldon Keith. They played a very high octane, aggressive, entertaining,

824
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 9: also high risk style. And when Craig came on board

825
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 9: and brought Lane on board, the mandate was to simplify

826
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 9: their game and to install a system that may not

827
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 9: be as entertaining in November and December and January, but

828
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 9: would have more success in April and May, and they

829
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 9: hoped June, but they didn't get there. But we saw

830
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,439
Speaker 9: strides in that direction, and like I said, they didn't

831
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 9: shoot themselves in the foot. There were a lot of

832
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 9: games last year where the result was pretty much packaged

833
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 9: up by the time the third period start. I know,

834
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 9: because in writing the game story, I never felt like

835
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 9: I was writing with my hair on fire, like oh

836
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 9: my god, it was too go well, come back here

837
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 9: with three minutes left. None of that. It was usually

838
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 9: up you know, three one, four two, And it's steered

839
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 9: at home quite well. And I think Lane had a

840
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 9: big part to do with that, because that's a lot

841
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 9: of what I've seen from Seattle this year. Just a

842
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 9: predictable style and a reliable style. It's gone away in

843
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 9: Toronto this year, and you start to wonder how much

844
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 9: a guy like Lane Lambert had to do with the

845
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 9: style here in Toronto last year and with the results

846
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 9: that they're having now in Seattle. I'm going to suggest

847
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 9: probably quite a bit.

848
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 7: Dave when you're when you're traveling around the rinks and

849
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 7: you're talking about these teams you're hosting your shows. I

850
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 7: loved your your opinion on the Kraken, But what's the

851
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 7: general feel about this team, the direction they're going, the

852
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 7: personnel that they have. I know that you know, with

853
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 7: us being tucked up here in the corner, it can

854
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 7: be a little bit hard to get news out of

855
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 7: the P and W if you're not Vancouver. But what

856
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 7: are what are the folk saying about this team? Do

857
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 7: they believe that this is sustainable? Do they believe that

858
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 7: the Kraken can can go to the playoff spot? Well

859
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 7: to get a playoff spot?

860
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 13: What's that general feeling about Seattle around the league?

861
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 9: Yeah? I look, I would say coming into the year,

862
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 9: I was a little confused with the direction that Seattle

863
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 9: was going in. They went out and accumulated a number

864
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 9: of nice pieces, but at term and at money in

865
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 9: some cases that made you raise your eyebrow a little bit.

866
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 9: And so I think, to me, the expectations were lower

867
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 9: coming into the year, like they were in a you

868
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 9: gotta show me category before I really start to buy in.

869
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 9: But having said all that, like I said, if they

870
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 9: play to the style that they seem to be adhering to.

871
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 9: I think it's a group that can have success. Do

872
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 9: I think they're a Stanley Cup contender, No, I don't.

873
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 9: They're They're far from that. But but they're a team

874
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 9: that I think can be a hard out on a

875
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 9: lot of nights. How do you get from from that

876
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 9: to the next level of being a cut contender. You

877
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 9: need Matty Beniers to raise his game to another level.

878
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 9: You know, He's a guy that they've really committed to

879
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 9: and is sort of that that young centerpiece that you

880
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 9: kind of need to build around these days. A guy

881
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 9: like Shane Wright has started to show some signs as

882
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 9: to why he was a high draft pick and he

883
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 9: started to make a contribution. They need him to take

884
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 9: his game to another level. Capo CaCO, same thing. So

885
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 9: what I would say right now is that I think

886
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 9: they're a team that should set their their goal on

887
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 9: being a wild card team at worst, because I think

888
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 9: they've shown that they can hang in the pack. And

889
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 9: you know, at this point in the year, we look

890
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 9: at the the division and I'm just pulling it up

891
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 9: on my phone right now to make sure I don't

892
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 9: miss anybody, But you know, you look at Anaheim, do

893
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 9: we see them sustaining. They've gone off to a great start.

894
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 9: Maybe they'll come back to the pack a little bit. Edmonton,

895
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 9: I think we all think at some point we'll figure

896
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 9: it out, always do, always do, and then they always

897
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 9: seem to figure it out. Vegas has kind of gone

898
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 9: in the skids lately. I do expect them to be better,

899
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 9: but they're dealing with a lot of injuries right now.

900
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 9: So if you're in LA, I was impressed with what

901
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 9: I saw out of them last night, to be honest

902
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 9: with you, But but I think you look there and say, well, okay,

903
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 9: maybe Edmonton, Vegas will we'll get rolling. Why why can't

904
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 9: we be the third team? Why can't we be the

905
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 9: fourth team in that division? Why can't we be in

906
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 9: that position? So that's how I see Seattle. I think,

907
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 9: given how they've started, I think it would be a

908
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 9: disappointment now I would be if they didn't at least

909
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 9: make make a wild card.

910
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 6: Dave with the krack and getting ready to head out

911
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 6: east to play Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh in the Island. Based

912
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 6: on Lane Lambert's style that we've been talking about, who

913
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 6: do you think is going to give Seattle the toughest

914
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 6: game in terms of competing with that kind of style. Obviously,

915
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 6: Detroit coming off of a big six to three win

916
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 6: over a Sea Above the Ana Hunting Ducks and how

917
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 6: they're playing, and you know, we know what's going on

918
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 6: with the Dard in Chicago and Matt Schaeffer in the Island.

919
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 6: So who do think is going to give the krack

920
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 6: and the toughest game over those four.

921
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 9: That's a tough question. Look, I've been impressed with what

922
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 9: I've seen from Detroit this year. I think they're a

923
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 9: much better team than they were a year ago. I

924
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 9: think is similar to what we've seen in Seattle. Todd

925
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 9: McClellan has installed a really good system in Detroit where

926
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 9: they are not hurting themselves as much as they had

927
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 9: in the past. There's some more maturity in their game.

928
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 9: I think they're they're kind of built similarly in that

929
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 9: they don't really have like an a one star. They've

930
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 9: got a collection of very good players, like a Dylan

931
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 9: Larkin to me, is a very good player. He's not

932
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 9: a you know, one A in the league type thing.

933
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 9: Lucas Raymond is a very good player. They they've got

934
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 9: and then they've got some you know, some skilled guys,

935
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 9: but also grinding type guys up front, like an Andrew

936
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 9: Copp and you know guys like that. To me, that

937
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 9: that play a similar style to what they look for

938
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 9: in Seattle. So I think Detroit will be a tough test.

939
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 9: Pittsburgh has been really interesting to me though, all Like,

940
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 9: I didn't have any expectations for them coming into the year.

941
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 9: And look, we just turned the clocks back a week

942
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 9: and a half ago. If Guinny Mugan hasn't turned the

943
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 9: clocks back an hour, he's turned them back like six

944
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 9: eight years the way he's played. So we'll see. Do

945
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 9: is there a little bit of Sweden hangover by the

946
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 9: time they get back? Maybe? But they're a team to

947
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 9: me that you have to watch closely.

948
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 4: Now.

949
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 9: They're not a free out because they've got their their

950
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 9: top guys playing like top guys. Crosby doesn't need to

951
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 9: turn the claw. He's always been good, continues to be.

952
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 9: Eric Carlson looked rejuvenated to me. There was a spring

953
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 9: in his step that I haven't seen in his game,

954
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 9: maybe since the hundred point year in San Jose a

955
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 9: few years ago. He was really impressive. They've added some

956
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 9: young players. Ben Kendall, like, watch this guy, eighty one

957
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 9: right handed shot, similar size. Tell me he doesn't look

958
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 9: like Phil Kessel when you watch the Penguins, Yea looks

959
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 9: like the same guy out there. So he's added an

960
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 9: injection into their team. I think Pittsburgh could be a

961
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 9: team that challenges Seattle for sure. I just I really

962
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 9: like how they've played this year.

963
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Dave, I'm in my forties right now,

964
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,720
Speaker 3: and I'll have whatever Geno, Malkin and Crosby and everybody

965
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 3: else is having out there right now. That seems to

966
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: be the old Fountain of You type of thing. But

967
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 3: Dave McCarthy joining us right now on Crack and Weekly.

968
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: I want to touch on Chicago because I think, to me,

969
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: two ways to look at this, and they're another team

970
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 3: that is surging out of their rebuild like what San

971
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 3: Jose has done and taking place in that conversation. Not

972
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 3: surprising to me is the way that Connor Bodart has

973
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: taken the reins and is now in that superstar conversation

974
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 3: for the next young tier. To me, I think it's

975
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 3: a support around him that might be a bit more surprising.

976
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure maybe Spencer Nyson times gets the

977
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 3: credit he deserves. And we talk about hellabug shasterk and

978
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 3: even Logan Thompson a ton as far as top tier

979
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 3: goalies in the league, but his numbers are up there

980
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 3: right now with them. So you know, all things consider

981
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 3: Jeff Blaschell now behind the bench, how long do you

982
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: think Chicago keeps us up?

983
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 9: They've been way better than I expected. And you're right,

984
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 9: Like you look at a guy like Tyler Tuesy. I

985
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 9: wondered what that guy was going to offer. But honestly,

986
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 9: when he was in Toronto a couple of years ago,

987
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 9: I didn't really think his game was that good. I

988
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 9: thought he really struggled to get around the ice. But

989
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 9: he's he's had success so far this year nine goals

990
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 9: in sixteen games. Can't ask for better than that. Andre

991
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 9: Burkowsky guy, he knows you guys know well in Seattle

992
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 9: has been a nice ad to their group table with terror.

993
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 9: Vinen has always been a guy that has been able

994
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 9: to produce. Frank Nazar has taken a step from a

995
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 9: guy that had only played what fifty games before he

996
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 9: got fifty million bucks to a guy that looks like

997
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 9: that was a pretty good decision on the part of

998
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 9: kylein Davidson to lock up long term. So how long

999
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 9: do they keep it up? I don't know. I'm not

1000
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 9: convinced yet that they're going to be a playoff team.

1001
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 9: I mean, I think the Central Division is the toughest

1002
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 9: division in hockey right now. Colorado is a wagon. They're

1003
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 9: insanely good. Nathan McKinnon, Yeah right, he's putting up four

1004
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 9: or five points a night for fun. Dallas started slow,

1005
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 9: they've got it rolling. I looked at them as a

1006
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 9: Cup contender coming into the year. Ditt Over Winnipeg, Utah

1007
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 9: has been much better. I like their team on the

1008
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 9: whole right now, better than Chicago. And so if you

1009
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 9: are the Blackhawks, where are you getting into the playoffs?

1010
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 9: Can you be better than all but three teams in

1011
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 9: the Pacific? Might be a tough ask. I don't necessarily

1012
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 9: see that. So they've taken steps. Connor Bedard now looks

1013
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 9: like a guy who's really comfortable in the league. I

1014
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 9: think he's discovered the way in which he needs to

1015
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 9: play in order to have success, and he's playing more

1016
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 9: of a professional game now, not a game that you

1017
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 9: have success in junior hockey just because your leaps and

1018
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 9: bounds better than everybody. But that's suff doesn't work when

1019
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 9: you get to the NHL. There's more of a National

1020
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 9: league element to his game now, is the best way

1021
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 9: I can put that. So I think they're coming. I

1022
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 9: just don't think they're there yet at this point.

1023
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 13: I know that we talked on the Chicago black Hawks.

1024
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 7: All those teams for the Islanders are a team that

1025
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 7: I think a lot of folks, I mean, are we

1026
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 7: surprised at how well the Islanders are doing? Are we

1027
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 7: disappointed that they're not doing better?

1028
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 13: Matt Shaeffer, I think.

1029
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 7: I don't want to say he's come out of nowhere

1030
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 7: because you're the number one pick, but for him to

1031
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 7: lead the rookie defensive scoring race, you know, I think

1032
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 7: is really really good for a team that, again, you've

1033
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 7: got a couple of stars in that team, they've had

1034
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 7: a little bit of turnover. What do you notice about

1035
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 7: the Islanders that that has gotten them to as of

1036
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 7: right now.

1037
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 13: Within three four points the first place in that division.

1038
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 9: Yeah. Look, I think Matt Shafer has been an incredible story.

1039
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 9: This is a guy that they should be jamming in

1040
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 9: front of cameras as often as they can. Right, He's

1041
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,479
Speaker 9: a guy that you know, only market around the island.

1042
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 9: He's probably lead around. This guy, he is awesome. I

1043
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 9: had the chance to talk to him in the summertime

1044
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 9: a little bit, just after he got drafted, and I

1045
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 9: asked him him, like, you sure you're eighteen? You're not

1046
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 9: like twenty seven? Sure, because like, I don't know if

1047
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 9: I've ever met a more mature eighteen year old in

1048
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 9: my life. And he's not. He's not like eighteen and

1049
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 9: eleven months. He's like eighteen in a month or two.

1050
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 9: He's a young eighteen. And I think what what's happened.

1051
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 13: Is September of seven is when he was born.

1052
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 9: So he just turned eighteen, Like I vividly remembers September

1053
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 9: of seven. That's hard to believe.

1054
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 13: It was a freshman at Bowling Green State University. That

1055
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 13: was a fun year.

1056
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 9: There you go. Not a lot I've met it was.

1057
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 4: It was not that long ago.

1058
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, So look, I mean, I think what what's happened

1059
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 9: with the island is that this guy's come in. He's

1060
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 9: immediately what I've been told been, What's what I'm trying

1061
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 9: to say? The group has bought into him like they

1062
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 9: they've He's immediately become one of the boys instead of

1063
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 9: at times, you know, veterans can be a little bit uh,

1064
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 9: we'll see what the young guys got. Okay, well you

1065
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 9: gotta earn a little bit of here, but nothing crazy,

1066
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 9: but you gotta hearn it. I think because of how

1067
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 9: well he's been received by the group, it's brought the

1068
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 9: group together. And what you see now, I think with

1069
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 9: the Islanders it's a bit of a pack mentality when

1070
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 9: they play. You know, when anybody goes near Matt Shaffer,

1071
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 9: like the whole team is jumping in. And I think

1072
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 9: that's brought the group together and and and they're now

1073
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 9: playing really is a tightly knit group after a bit

1074
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 9: of a slower start to the year. Like I think

1075
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 9: they've got they've got enough talent where they should be

1076
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 9: in the mix. But I think what Shafer has been

1077
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 9: able to bring to the group has really brought this

1078
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 9: group together and taken a collection of what has been

1079
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 9: decent parts. I really unified the group. And then not

1080
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 9: only unify the group, but you're adding a guy in

1081
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 9: Matt Schaeffer who's just been an incredible injection of his

1082
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 9: own talent on the ice. I like this Islanders team.

1083
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 9: You know, I was wondering Washington if they would tail

1084
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 9: off a little bit this year because everything went well

1085
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 9: last year, like just about everything broke their way, had

1086
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 9: the OV chase and all of that, and you wonder

1087
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 9: if there might be a little bit of a letdown,

1088
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 9: and it seems like there might be. So, you know,

1089
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 9: if you're the Honors, you say, does Pittsburgh hang on?

1090
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 9: Maybe can can the Raiders score at home once? I

1091
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 9: don't know if they can't, Like they should be good,

1092
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 9: But I think the Islanders have done enough now to

1093
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 9: show themselves where you should look at trying to stay

1094
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 9: in the mix as a wildcare team. I've been really

1095
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 9: impressed with what I've seen out of the Islanders.

1096
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 6: So far, Dave. In the Eastern Conference, you know, obviously

1097
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 6: there have been some surprises early on in the season.

1098
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 6: We talked about Pitt's for a moment ago. But who

1099
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 6: do you think hasn't shown their full potential yet from

1100
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 6: the East? Like who I mean, not just a surprise,

1101
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 6: but maybe there have been some key injuries. Who do

1102
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 6: you think in the next you know, twenty games, pops

1103
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 6: out and really shows what they can do well.

1104
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 9: I wouldn't sleep on the two teams from the Sunshine States,

1105
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 9: like they just got to find a way to hang

1106
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 9: around Florida here in Matthew Chuck's getting back on the

1107
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 9: ice in a couple of weeks, so that takes us

1108
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 9: to you know, early maybe by you know, this time

1109
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 9: next month, he's back in the fold. And then never

1110
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 9: doubt Billy Zito's ability to get something done to enhance

1111
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 9: his team because they are in win now mode. So

1112
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 9: I think they've been lying in the weeds. They're only

1113
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 9: a point back of Detroit right now. They haven't really

1114
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 9: played any good what is signing Bradley Marshan has been

1115
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 9: for them. He has really kept them afloat a thousand points.

1116
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 9: Like I don't know, but you I love everything about

1117
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 9: this guy. I've been able to do a brunch this

1118
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 9: year where I haven't mentioned Bradley Sunday because he's got

1119
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 9: a thousand points now this week. So Florida is one

1120
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 9: of those teams and Tampa is one of those teams.

1121
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 13: You know.

1122
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,439
Speaker 9: Bradon points a little bit slow to start this year.

1123
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 9: I think he'll get it rolling. He's a very consistent,

1124
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 9: reliable player, and their their line, and they've only played

1125
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,959
Speaker 9: sixteen games and played too many games either, so that's

1126
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 9: working in their advantage. Florida and Tampa Bay, they're just

1127
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 9: too good to count them out at this point in

1128
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 9: the year.

1129
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 7: As we come up on American Thanksgiving, everyone wants to

1130
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 7: talk about, you know, teams that are in.

1131
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 13: A playoff spot.

1132
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 7: You know, eighty percent of the time are in If

1133
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 7: you look at the East, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, Jersey, Carolina, Pittsburgh, Islanders, Detroit,

1134
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 7: out West Colorado, Dallas, Winnipeg, Anaheim, La, Seattle, Utah, Chicago.

1135
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 7: Of those sixteen teams, who are the contenders, who are

1136
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 7: the pretenders? Who replaces who? I know we talked about

1137
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 7: Edmonton in Vegas. They're always going to find a way

1138
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 7: to get there, you know what.

1139
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 13: Together.

1140
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 7: But when you look at this list, how much movement

1141
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 7: given the schedule, given the back to backs, given the

1142
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 7: Olympic break, how much movement do you foresee between now

1143
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 7: and you know, obviously playoff time, but in the next

1144
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 7: six to eight weeks.

1145
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 9: Honestly, Everett, I think this year, I think there could

1146
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 9: be more than we're accustomed to. I'm just doing the

1147
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 9: math here. I'm using a calculator because that's why I

1148
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 9: joined this business. They told me there would be no math, so.

1149
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 3: Any nice use of the iPhone. Also, yeah, I love

1150
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 3: it secret weapon.

1151
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 9: It works well, and you keep it below the camera.

1152
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 9: I'm willing to be transferent. I can't do that kind

1153
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 9: of I figured it was around twelve and I'm like, no,

1154
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 9: I think that's that's that's seventy five. That's not enough,

1155
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 9: So we'll call it thirteen teams. That's three that are

1156
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 9: in right now. If eighty percent is our rule that

1157
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 9: come out, I think it could be more than that

1158
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 9: this year, Everett. I really do, just because number one,

1159
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 9: the teams that are out looking in, there's not that

1160
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 9: much distance between them and the cut line. Only two

1161
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 9: teams in the Eastern Conference are more than two points

1162
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 9: out of a playoff spot right now. In the West

1163
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 9: that's a little bit more stark. Vancouver, Saint Louis, Nashville,

1164
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 9: and Calgary are more than two out of a playoff

1165
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 9: spot right now. So that leaves Minnesota, San Jose, Vegas,

1166
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 9: and Edmonton. I think because so many teams are bunched up,

1167
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 9: and we see teams on the outside looking in that

1168
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 9: we expected to be in and I think will be

1169
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 9: in by the time the year is done. Edmonton, Vegas

1170
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 9: in the West, without question, Florida, Pampa Bay, the New

1171
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 9: York Rangers. It's getting tight to mention Toronto and that

1172
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 9: the way they've been playing, we expected them to be in.

1173
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 9: Like that's that's a lot of teams that you know,

1174
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 9: a lot of people would have been willing to place

1175
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 9: bets on that would make the playoffs at the beginning

1176
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 9: of the year, before the season started. I don't think

1177
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 9: that many teams are going to miss that we expected

1178
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 9: to be in. So I think more than three that

1179
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 9: are in right now are going to fall out just

1180
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 9: because of the teams, the caliber of the teams that

1181
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 9: are off to slower starts. But I think we know

1182
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 9: are probably going to get it together. And just how

1183
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 9: tightly bunched the standings are. I don't remember a year

1184
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 9: in recent memory where there's been quite this much parody

1185
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 9: throughout the entire league. I mean, there's really how many

1186
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 9: How many teams are we willing to write off right now?

1187
01:01:55,440 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 9: Like I can't even write off Washington team, So I'll

1188
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 9: right off Buffalo in the East, Hey, that's one, Calgary, Nashville,

1189
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 9: Saint Louis I think put a fork in them. I

1190
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 9: don't like Vancouver. I don't think they've been very good either. Minnesota.

1191
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 9: I'm not willing to write off. So that what is

1192
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 9: at six out of thirty two teams? Yeah, that I

1193
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 9: think the rest of it six minus thirty two is

1194
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:24,479
Speaker 9: twenty six. There's still ten teams that are outside looking

1195
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 9: in right now, and I could see at least four

1196
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 9: to five getting in.

1197
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 3: Well, folks, if you love your parody, you're getting your

1198
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 3: meals worth the money's worth here and appropriate that us

1199
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving is creeping up here on us. And then maybe

1200
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 3: too early here to talk about trade deadline stuff.

1201
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: But Dave, this is great.

1202
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 3: We'll get you back on soon and by this time

1203
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 3: hopefully we can talk more about trade deadline names at

1204
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 3: some point.

1205
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:46,960

Speaker 2: But bring back ice Cap.

1224
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 7: I tell him I didn't get a chance to say

01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,439
Speaker 7: it all my I missed that show.

1226
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 9: You know that?

1227
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, that was the best part. We land

1228
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 7: at Boeing at one o'clock in the morning. I got

1229
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 7: a twenty five minute drive home. I flip on ice Cap.

1230
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 7: If we're lucky, I hear some of our calls. If not,

1231
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 7: you get to catch up on the whip around from

1232
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 7: the night. I know they do it in playoffs, but man,

1233
01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 7: the job that he did with ice Cap was I

1234
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 7: wish they would bring that show back. Who who do

1235
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 7: I'm looking at the camera as if this is recorded

1236
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 7: on video. Who do I have to talk to to

1237
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 7: get Ice Cap back? That's what I want.

1238
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: I think you've got a couple of folks that you

1239
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,919
Speaker 1: know there in US as well, so we can fish.

1240
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 2: We have five dollars.

1241
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 3: We can officially start the Cracking Audio Network petition right now.

1242
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: Bring back Ice Cat, put it, put it in the

1243
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 2: till I love it, till.

1244
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 3: Loved having that on when I would go home on

1245
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 3: the way home after a postgame wrap up, no matter

1246
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 3: how rode as well. All right, Dave McCarthy joining us again.

1247
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 3: He is the host for Morning Brunch on Sirius XM

1248
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 3: NHL Network Radio. Let's touch on a couple more things here.

1249
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 3: Chandler Stevenson set the bill at Berkeley Catton that cat

1250
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 3: came out of the bag, pardon the expression, this last weekend,

1251
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 3: and it's it's it's a fun thing because I think

1252
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 3: number one, it shows that Catton's here to stay for

1253
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 3: quite a while, if not for good. But we can

1254
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 3: kind of read between the lines here on this one.

1255
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 3: But they want to get him out of the hotel Catton,

1256
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 3: and then get him now into a more stable situation.

1257
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 3: All different example, Joe Thornton with Macklin, Celebrini, Patrick Marlow

1258
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 3: with Will Smith and San Jose. But now Catton can

1259
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 3: enjoy some family cooking. You know, we've heard that he's

1260
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 3: gone grocery shopping now on his own with some teammates.

1261
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 3: That's the feel I picked up from others additionally, But

1262
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 3: I mean this is important because these are things that

1263
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 3: you can't take for granted, and we usually do when

1264
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 3: we get older and older. But at nineteen years of age,

1265
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 3: you are still trying to figure out life. So this

1266
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 3: is a pretty big deal here for Berkeley Catton.

1267
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 7: I absolutely love this. I think this should be mandated

1268
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 7: around the league. The fact that you've got a young

1269
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 7: kid coming in in his NHL debut season, living with

1270
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 7: a vet, who's won a couple of cups, who's played

1271
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,959
Speaker 7: with the best, who is one of the best.

1272
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 2: I cannot love this enough. You know, I think Al

1273
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: you and I talk so much.

1274
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 7: About how you can never underestimate the power of a

1275
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 7: home cooked meal.

1276
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 2: You can never.

1277
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 7: Underestimate the power of rolling around on the floor plane

1278
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 7: with kids, right. I think Chandler Stevenson joked around. He

1279
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 7: was asked, you know, why'd you do it? And he goes, oh,

1280
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 7: babysitting for one, right, But I love it.

1281
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 2: I think this is great.

1282
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 7: He's gonna absorb so much about preparing and living in this,

1283
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 7: in this world that is the NHL.

1284
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Even if Chandler.

1285
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 7: Stevenson doesn't say anything, he's gonna see Stevenson eating breakfast

1286
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 7: every morning. He's gonna see how he prepares and what

1287
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 7: he does on a nightly basis. And for a nineteen

1288
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 7: year old kid who's moved, who's been living away from

1289
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 7: home for however long, right, four or five years now,

1290
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 7: and I think this is awesome. Kudos to Chandler Stevenson.

1291
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 7: I hope that when Jacobrien comes in here, I hope

1292
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 7: that you know, it's Shane Wright, it's Manny Beeneers, it's

1293
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 7: Jade Schwarwood, McCann, whoever it is. I hope that they're living.

1294
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 2: In their house. I cannot love this enough.

1295
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 3: And all tee this supper you here, because I talked

1296
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 3: with Stevenson afterward and I said, oh, you're the Bill

1297
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 3: of Dad now, and he had that look of all

1298
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 3: how the tables have turned.

1299
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, not gonna say, Mike, is that for a guy

1300
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 6: like Berkeley and anybody coming out of junior hockey is there.

1301
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 6: They're used to living with a billet family, and every

1302
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 6: billet is different. You know, mine's probably different than than

1303
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 6: the Berkeley's was. And you know, some of them are

1304
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 6: very hands on and there's a family dinner every night.

1305
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 6: Some of them are a mix, and some of them

1306
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 6: are kind of on your own. I don't know what

1307
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 6: Berkeley's was, but if it was kind of that frequent

1308
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 6: family dinner environment, that that's what he's used to, it's

1309
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 6: pretty it's pretty shocking to suddenly be in a hotel,

1310
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 6: you know, by yourself. And I talked to him a

1311
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 6: little bit about this the other day, and he had

1312
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 6: transitioned from a standard hotel into kind of like a

1313
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 6: long extended stay location where there was a kitchen. But

1314
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 6: you walk home at the end of practice, at the

1315
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 6: end of the game, and it's this not walk home,

1316
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 6: but you get dropped off at home or whatever, and

1317
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 6: it's this empty room with an empty kitchen. You're like,

1318
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 6: I don't really know what to do here, and you

1319
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 6: find yourself eating out a lot, which isn't the best

1320
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 6: you know, as far as healthy eating goes. So to

1321
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 6: get into a situation where as you, yeah, not only

1322
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 6: is he around a pro like like Channer Stevens and

1323
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 6: somebody that plays the same position that he wants to play,

1324
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 6: somebody that wants to have the same success that Channer

1325
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 6: Stevenson has had. And he can observe all that stuff,

1326
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 6: but to be in that family environment, it's a great

1327
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 6: transition from that world of junior where you have that

1328
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 6: every day with your billet family to the NHL where

1329
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 6: you're going to get it for a period of time

1330
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 6: until he feels, you know, comfortable enough to say, hey,

1331
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 6: I think I'm ready to go do this.

1332
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 2: On my own.

1333
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 7: That's a great word, comfortable. I was I was just

1334
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 7: about to say, right that, your job is to play

1335
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 7: in the NHL. Your job is to be a hockey player,

1336
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 7: and whatever can be done to help you feel more

1337
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 7: comfortable in your job like that, that's what's important. And

1338
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 7: you're right, Like he gets his own room, he gets

1339
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 7: his own bed, like we're talking to him, like we're

1340
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 7: sending one of our own kids off to junior right now.

1341
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 7: I love it, but no, but I think it's so

1342
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 7: it's so important, right, Like we we so many times

1343
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 7: see athletes as commodities, as numbers, as stat lines, and

1344
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 7: we forget this is a nineteen year old kid living

1345
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 7: two thousand miles away from home, one percent playing in

1346
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 7: the in the National Hockey League, Like, holy bleep, but

1347
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 7: he bleep, Like that's that's freaking scary. So to be

1348
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 7: able to be able to stay with a guy who

1349
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 7: was there, who's from your home province, who can talk

1350
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 7: your language and all of that. Again, I we could

1351
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 7: do another hour on this topic alone about why.

1352
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 2: I love this so much.

1353
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 6: And you know who probably loves it the most is

1354
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 6: mister and missus Catton. Like, you know, it wasn't too

1355
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 6: long ago that they were making dinner for him and

1356
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 6: that sort of thing, and obviously through junior that changes,

1357
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 6: and it just makes them feel a little more comfortable

1358
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 6: that he's not alone each night sitting in his room going, well,

1359
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 6: I'm in NHL now, but I'm sitting by myself.

1360
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 2: So as a parent, we're parents, it probably makes them

1361
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 2: feel good as well.

1362
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 7: So like you're nineteen years old, you're living in a

1363
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,839
Speaker 7: pretty nice old time, right. I wonder when the novelty

1364
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 7: wears off, right, like, because you're you're gonna be You're

1365
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 7: gonna be Kevin McCallister for a few weeks, right, Like

1366
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 7: they're gonna be ordering the Sunday and the Fool Cheese pizza.

1367
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 2: But like I wonder when when it wears off?

1368
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 6: Right, Well, it's pretty I'll just add one more thing

1369
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 6: on that. It's pretty easy to answer that question. Fits

1370
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 6: because we go on twelve day of road trips and

1371
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 6: we stay in a lot of the same hotels. Like,

1372
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 6: as nice as it is, what do you love the

1373
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 6: most coming home to your own home and having your

1374
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 6: own home cooked dinners? So I bet you it wears

1375
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 6: off pretty quickly, especially it's not like they're they're not

1376
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 6: staying in a hotel during training camp and during pre

1377
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 6: season like this, this uh living in a hotel starts

1378
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 6: very early on, and I bet you it's probably a

1379
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 6: week or two when that that Kevin ms McCallister feeling

1380
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 6: wears off.

1381
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 1: Let's get to our three stars before we wrap this

1382
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: up here.

1383
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 3: I'll begin as my third star with Maddy Benier's only

1384
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 3: twice in the last ten games he's been on the

1385
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 3: minus side of plus minus. Now you want to say

1386
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 3: Mike plus minus doesn't count these days, Well, it depends

1387
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 3: on context here, but he's getting tougher matchups. He's playing

1388
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 3: shutdown defense, He's now starting to become productive six points

1389
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 3: last seven games when he's on the ice. His line

1390
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 3: and he especially are creating more than they're giving up

1391
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 3: in that span. For those who say, Mike show me

1392
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,879
Speaker 3: the metrics, well, he's owning fifty two percent of shot attempts,

1393
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 3: best of any center for best on the Kraken and

1394
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 3: guests who also who's number one his new line mate,

1395
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 3: Mason march Men.

1396
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: In that span.

1397
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 3: We all thought that he needed Coppocaco, it's apparent that

1398
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 3: he needs Jordan Eberley. He's been great. Plus maybe if

1399
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 3: the Winnipeg game tells us more, we're seeing something here

1400
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 3: with that line together, him, march Mit, Matty Beneers will

1401
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 3: see how long it stays together. But madd he's been

1402
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 3: playing some great hockey. He's my third star. Second star

1403
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 3: goes to Philip Grubauer, who played his best when they

1404
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 3: needed him the most, coming in relief for Matt Murray

1405
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 3: in the San Jose game. The stop on Will Smith

1406
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 3: was great breakaway and we can do a deep dive

1407
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 3: on you know, the steink kicking motion. We're gonna be

1408
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 3: out of time though pretty much soon here on this,

1409
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 3: But the gloves save on Macklin's celebriny My goodness, that

1410
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 3: was phenomenal, and in a second period where it was

1411
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 3: sink or swim time and Philip Grubauer was this team's

1412
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,519
Speaker 3: life raft. My first star goes to Jayden Schwartz. Quota

1413
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 3: the way through roughly of this season. It's been your

1414
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 3: MVP so far, five points, last four games. He has

1415
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 3: looked great no matter who he's played with, and he

1416
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 3: had a very inspiring game once again on Hockey Fights

1417
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 3: Cancer Night. Two goals. That's leadership. Jaden Schwartz is my

1418
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 3: first start.

1419
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 2: Of the week. Mike, you stole them. I got the same, Sorry,

1420
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,759
Speaker 2: but you stole them same.

1421
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 7: Three, but in different order. Two and three were pretty

1422
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 7: tough for me. Where I want to rank them. I'm

1423
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 7: gonna go Schwartz for third, barely. I got Maddie number two,

1424
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,759
Speaker 7: and then Phil I mean twelve out of ten, no notes,

1425
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 7: I mean he the game he had against Winnipeg, coming

1426
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 7: in ice cold to stop five in a row in

1427
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 7: the second period against San Jose. You mentioned the Will

1428
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 7: Smith breakaway, right, he shut it down. He was big

1429
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 7: when he needed to be. So those are my three

1430
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 7: stars of the week. All right, Well, I'll change it

1431
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 7: up a little bit. My third star goes to Ben Myers.

1432
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 6: I was real happy with how he played while he

1433
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 6: was up, and I was a little disappointed to see

1434
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 6: him go down. I think that he's definitely someone that's

1435
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 6: got something to give to this team, and he's right

1436
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 6: on the edge of being a full time cracking player.

1437
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 6: So my third star goes to him, Ben Myers. My

1438
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 6: second star goes to old Man old Man specifically and

1439
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 6: Jordan Eberley and Jayden Schwartz. I like the way those

1440
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 6: two guys played.

1441
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 3: I want to clip this and play it back for

1442
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 3: them in the r this next time I hear the conversation.

1443
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 6: Being an old guy myself, I appreciate the way those

1444
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 6: two guys have led over this past weekend, over the

1445
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 6: season so far, and obviously contributing on the score sheet

1446
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 6: as well. So second star absolutely goes to those two gentlemen.

1447
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 6: And then my first star, Philip Gribauer. I don't have

1448
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 6: to repeat everything that was said, come in in cold.

1449
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 6: The way he played. I've seen him play for the

1450
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 6: past two seasons plus you know this year as well.

1451
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 6: I think the Winnipeg game was his best game that

1452
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 6: I've personally seen him play. I wasn't here for the

1453
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 6: playoffs in the second year. I hear a lot of

1454
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 6: he looked like he did in that playoff run. So

1455
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:40,759
Speaker 6: if that's the way he's going to look when he plays,

1456
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 6: he can be my first star every week.

1457
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting a lot of a lot of I know,

1458
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 2: folks love this term.

1459
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 7: We're getting a lot of flashbacks to playoff grooby the

1460
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 7: last week here. I mean this season overall, right, but

1461
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 7: I think in particular the last handful of games that

1462
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 7: he's had to come in, you know, in Joey's absence and.

1463
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: Of Matt Murray.

1464
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 7: I mean, this is about as playoff groovy as we're

1465
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 7: gonna get as we've seen since that playoff run.
