I'm sure it was a learning experience for him. 177 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 10: What needs to be clean up for Washington tomorrow. 178 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 9: Our battle level, we we just can't lose the battles. 179 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 9: We lost just too many of them. We played slower 180 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 9: today for whatever reason. You know, we have to get 181 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 9: more consistent in our thought process that way. But we've 182 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 9: got to be faster and we've got to be more 183 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 9: committed to winning battles and and I just didn't think 184 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 9: I just didn't think we won enough battles. Were we trying? Sure, 185 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 9: but there's a difference between trying and winning them. You know, 186 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 9: the lost battles end up in penalties against, turnovers, chances against. 187 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 9: So we have to be a lot better. In your experience, 188 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 9: does it Is it a good thing that you have 189 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 9: a game to come back tomorrow night that you know, 190 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 9: the guys have to flourishes and know to have better 191 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 9: at have time to sit and think about it or 192 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 9: worry about it. 193 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: Think he's got to get out and be better. 194 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, it's regardless of whether it's tomorrow night 195 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 9: or the next night. You know, I think that certainly 196 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 9: it's an opportunity for us to rebound and be better. 197 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 10: Ryan land Green has left the last two games a 198 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 10: little bit beat up. 199 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: How valuable is the role. 200 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 9: That he plays for this team? Yeah, no, he's you know, 201 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 9: I mean the last game he left is because he 202 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 9: blocked a critical shot at a critical time that you know, 203 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 9: flew up into his face tonight. He was sticking up 204 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 9: for his teammate. He's a warrior and he's a great. 205 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: Teammate joining us now are a team friend, John Walton, 206 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: veteran play by play announcer on the Capitol's radio network, 207 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: also his flagship station one O six seventh the Fan 208 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: w JFK. John, Great to have you. And now that 209 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: Alex Olvechkin has to pass Wayne Gretzky's all time goal 210 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 2: scoring record, what's consuming everyone's mind now round this team 211 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: for this season? 212 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: Nothing? We're just going home. 213 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 11: That's it. I you know, it's wild. I mean we 214 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 11: had a you know, with where we were as far 215 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 11: as the. 216 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 3: Last season. 217 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 11: I mean we got to about March and there was 218 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 11: a time, I mean going back to the beginning, guys, 219 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 11: where we had in November, We're in Salt Lake and 220 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 11: Alex has two goals third period, Caps are winning handily. 221 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 11: Everything's good, and then Alex breaks his leg and we 222 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 11: stayed over in Salt Lake and it was just we 223 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 11: went out after the game and get something to eat 224 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 11: and we're just sitting there looking at each other like 225 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 11: we don't know how to do this, Like we never 226 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 11: seen this, None of us have ever seen this for 227 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 11: a long term. At that point, we didn't really know 228 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 11: what the injury was and watching him come back and 229 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 11: do what he did, only out for six weeks, come 230 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 11: back at the record and mold it down at the end, 231 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 11: like he did not leave any room for maybe this 232 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 11: happens this year or maybe it doesn't. A couple of 233 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 11: goals against Chicago and could at four, and then getting 234 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 11: it against the Islanders in the way he did tacked 235 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 11: on a couple for good measure to get eight ninety 236 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 11: seven at the end. There was definitely an emotional lift 237 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 11: that surrounded this team that you know. It's funny because 238 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 11: sometimes you'll get asked the questions, oh, is it a distraction? 239 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: Well, no, it's not. 240 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 11: I mean it's actually the opposite of that. But to 241 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 11: that end, now that you're here, what do you do 242 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 11: for an encore when you don't have this unbelievable historic 243 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 11: achievement That was kind of this symbiotic relationship between the 244 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 11: Caps going to one hundred and eleven points and Alex 245 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 11: getting the record. And I think we've seen at least 246 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 11: early on that you know, this team is still as advertised, 247 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 11: they're running it back with twenty of the twenty three 248 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 11: guys that were here last year. 249 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: I don't feel and. 250 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 11: I'm saying this more as a representative of what I've 251 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 11: heard in the room from Logan Thompson has been vocal 252 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 11: and Spencer Carberry has mentioned it. You know that a 253 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 11: lot of people think, oh, well, you know, the CAP's 254 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 11: over achieved. They're really not that interesting anymore. You know, 255 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 11: if you don't have the record, what's going on. This 256 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 11: team is still good. I ultimately think they've got to 257 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 11: find a way to get through Carolina. They did not 258 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 11: do that in the second round last year. They will 259 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 11: ultimately if they want to put together a deep run, 260 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 11: they got to get by Carolina because it's the way 261 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 11: the playoffs are set up. So there are still a 262 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 11: work in progress. But they are strong. 263 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: One to twelve up front, one to six on d 264 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: and one and two in the net. 265 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 11: There are no holes here. This is one of the 266 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 11: best defensive teams in the NHL. They don't give up 267 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 11: much at five on five. They're tough to beat, and 268 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 11: they have come out of the blocks not scoring a ton, 269 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 11: but they are scoring enough and you know, been all 270 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 11: right on the road. They've got this cushion of home 271 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 11: games involving the crack in this week where you know, 272 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 11: in the middle of five or six at home and 273 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 11: then things start to get a little more serious. But 274 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 11: they're you know, they're holding their own and I think 275 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 11: everybody believes in this room that they are not only 276 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 11: a playoff team, but a team that has a deep 277 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 11: run in them. But they still have to get to 278 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 11: I think that next level in order to do that. 279 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, I want to go back to ov for a second. 280 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 10: Take us back to that run. I mean, the city, 281 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 10: the fan base for you personally. I mean I can 282 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 10: only imagine in Seattle you go back to the home 283 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 10: run race of what was that ninety eight Maguire and 284 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 10: Sosa and I think Griffy was in it for for 285 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 10: a while. But just give folks in Seattle an idea 286 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 10: of just what that was like. 287 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 3: And then for you. 288 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 10: Personally to have that moment on your reel, on on 289 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 10: your resume of now being able to to tell your grandkids, 290 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 10: to have your kids tell their grandkids. Man, you know 291 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 10: Grandpa John was there when What was that like for 292 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 10: all parties involved? 293 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 11: Yeah, put Grandpa to bed and change his nipe for it. Yeah, 294 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 11: for sure. I'm older than you guys, so I can 295 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,479 Speaker 11: say that you know, it was wild. 296 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: It was just this, It was about March. 297 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 11: I mean most of my time, this is fifteen seasons 298 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 11: here now, and there really had. There wasn't much of 299 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 11: a time where you know, I was here. You know, 300 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 11: he was in the threes when I got here, so 301 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 11: I didn't get them all, but I've had the majority 302 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 11: of him. And you know, four hundred becomes five hundred, 303 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 11: becomes six hundred, and there's always this talk could he 304 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 11: do it? 305 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: Could he do it? 306 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 11: And sometimes the answer would be oh yeah, and then 307 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 11: other times it would be oh, absolutely not, And it 308 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 11: just depended on which talking head and what national person 309 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 11: was saying it.
