1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike, We're back with cracking heead coach Lane, Lambert Lane. 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,040 Speaker 1: Your first regulation loss of the season last night in Philadelphia. 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Just take us through those sixty minutes in a game 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: in which it seemed the Kraken just couldn't find their 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: footing against the Flyers. 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we we couldn't quite find our footing. I thought 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: we started the game well, we scored, you know, gave 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: up a tough goal on a on a mistake I guess, 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: so to speak, you know, to let them back in 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: at one one, but then had a couple of chances 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: short handed, had a breakaway, you know, I had a 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 2: two on one shorthanded, and you know, we didn't bury those, 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 2: and when you don't, you know, at times, things can 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: come back and haunt you a little bit. They ended 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: up scoring right away after that on the pedal on 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: the power play, and and you know, the game just 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: kind of it got away from us a little bit. 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: You know, I thought we made some maybe some uncharacteristic mistakes. 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day too, when I 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: look over that game and I analyze it, it's never 21 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: as bad as you think it is, and it's never 22 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: as good as you think it is, so, you know, 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: the game was fairly even, to be honest with you, 24 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: when we analyze all the scoring. 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Chances first time this season, I guess the crack and really, 26 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: at least from a press box view, have gone through 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: a bit of adversity and couldn't get to that system 28 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: and that style. You know in the manner that you 29 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: would like. What's the mindset going into back to back? 30 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: Some coaches will tell you that, hey, I like the flush, 31 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: it put it behind me and move on. What's going 32 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: to be that message going into the nanscape. 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: Well, we talked about it this morning and we you know, 34 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: there's certain areas that we have to be better. For me, 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: it was about individual battles. We weren't hard enough, we 36 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: weren't any plays, and we're playing against a team that, 37 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: in my opinion, is bigger than the team we played 38 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: last night. And so what's the message? You know, you 39 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: better be ready to go and we've got to win 40 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: more battles. 41 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: Last year, the Kraken winlessen game two's of back to backs, 42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: different team, different coach. This year, what is your philosophy 43 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to back to backs and how you 44 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: approach these games? 45 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 2: No, excuses. You know, you can get into these games 46 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: and you get a rhythm going, but this is where 47 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: your structure comes into play. Is there fatigue, Sure, there's 48 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: fatigue sometimes, but that's where you have to make sure 49 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: they're in the right spots all the time and you 50 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: need your goaltender to play well. There's not too many 51 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: teams that have a good back to back record that 52 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: don't get good goaltending from their goaltenders. 53 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: Berkeley Catton is NHL debut last night, gets his first 54 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: NHL points. What did you make of his game and 55 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: how he's been progressing here through his time practicing, watching 56 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: being around this team. 57 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: I thought he played for the most part, I thought 58 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: he played well. He made a couple of plays, made 59 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: a nice playoff of face off, and you know, I 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: think it's like any other player that plays his first 61 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: NHL game. You know, the eyes are a little big, 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: and things are coming at you fast, and you know, 63 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see where he goes from here tonight. 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: Looking forward to seeing him in his second. 65 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: Game with the Washington Capitals. They returned twenty of their 66 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: twenty three players from last year, one of the best 67 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: teams in the NHL for the last few seasons. What 68 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: do they bring that can be so difficult for your 69 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: team to come back? And of course alex Ovechkin still 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: kicking at forty years old. 71 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they have a you know, like I say, 72 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: they got a big lineup. They got a solid defense 73 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: group that Scott size. Their forwards are big protus of Vetchkin, 74 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: Tom Wilson. You know, they play with pace and they 75 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: play hard at the net, and we're going to have 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: to be prepared to get into a war around the 77 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: around the paint and our zone and in their zone. 78 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: Last one here, Alex Ovechkin closing in on nine hundred goals. 79 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: You've had a chance to coach him. I'm sure you've 80 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: watched him as a fan as well. What makes him 81 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: such a special player and why has he been able 82 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: to be so successful, so consistent for so long. 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: He's just good. You know, he can shoot the pocket 84 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: like no other. And I guess really the thing about 85 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: it for me is take away everything you know he's 86 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: I mean he's two hundred and forty pounds, two hundred 87 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: and forty five pounds. You know, he can play the 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: game anyway you want to play it. Just sort of 89 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: a unique player nobody's ever seen the likes of it. 90 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 2: He is the best goal scorer of all time in 91 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: my mind, no question about it. And he loves the game. 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: That's probably the most most unique thing. That's why he's 93 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: been doing it so long. He loves it. He loves 94 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: when he scores, he loves when his teammates score, he 95 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: loves when they win. So he's just good. He's a 96 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: good human being.
