Speaker 4: Rangers lead. But we'll see.

93
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was at least one cracking player in the net,

94
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: Alexiak Stevenson out front. That Marson might have been the

95
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 6: one that was Alexiak that was in the net.

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 4: Oh in a minute.

97
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: Cooley was trying to push the chords blocker, but the

98
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: buck was under the cord's left leg, and then Jamie

99
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: Alexiak slid into the goal with the puck.

100
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: Here's the call.

101
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 6: The call in the ice has been overturned to no goal.

102
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 6: All right, you called the partner, You called it dead

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 6: eye in the sky.

104
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: Ty car Shay snap his stick in half. He goes

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: to the bench. Ton't manager Phil Varney gives him another one.

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: Now enstrum down the slop boy playing and the cord

107
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: makes the same on a big save by Joey to Cord.

108
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 3: There. He's made two game savers in this third period

109
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: and we're just over five minutes in on the Rangers

110
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: Fox right side in front at Miller stone by toey

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: the card. Oh my goodness, the chord fails out the

112
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: Kraken with a goal line.

113
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: Stand at Gt.

114
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 6: Miller Lieutenant shot going to that bar left post. The

115
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 6: puck gets onto his stick, he puts it back towards

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 6: the middle, and then I'm not sure if he was

117
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 6: sticking five hole on Joey to Cord, but the chord

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 6: either way coming up with a big stop.

119
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: There twenty left and over time here comes to Miller

120
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: here side, Cooley settles, shoots stores Rangers gotten the cord

121
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: to bite Will Cooley right circle.

122
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: He snaps it in by Joey the cord.

123
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: Back to back overtime wins for the Rangers, back to

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: back overtime losses for the Kracking.

125
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: They fall three too so a tough way for it

126
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: to end with the Krack and falling three to two

127
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 2: in sudden depth overtime. They've been involved in plenty of

128
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: one goal games throughout the entire season, and this one

129
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: ending on similar terms just like with Montreal's game back

130
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, last shot wins and that coming courtesy the visitors,

131
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: this time Will Cooley picking up his second goal of

132
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: the season. The Krack and though getting their third goal

133
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: of the year from Chandler Stevenson third goal of the

134
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: year from Brandon Montur despite firing a new Franchin's low

135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: thirteen shots in one game outshot by the Rangers twenty

136
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: seven to thirteen, as Igor Sisterkin picked up the win

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: with eleven saves on thirteen shots and Joey Decord taking

138
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: the overtime loss with twenty four saves on twenty seven shots.

139
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: Back to practice on Sunday, head coach Lane Lambert spoke

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: more coming out of the overtime loss with the media face.

141
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 7: Officer, I think kind of diving into it, you know,

142
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 7: from the startloads a how do you look at success

143
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 7: doot as far as a tactical thing or position thing.

144
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 8: Or even an effort, Well, you start with a part

145
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 8: or you don't right, So you're you're either making plays

146
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 8: or you're chasing the puck and defending, and so you know,

147
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 8: I mean, we've talked about it a little bit here

148
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 8: and certainly we need to get better in that area.

149
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 9: Ry Evans progressing. It looks like from red to normal jersey,

150
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 9: is he getting like are we starting to talk put

151
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 9: him into blind rushes and things like that.

152
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 8: Well, optional practice, there's no contact, so there was no

153
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 8: point in him having a red jersey on. Yeah, so

154
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 8: that's that's that's where we're progressing.

155
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: Be wearing red. Then if it was a normal practice.

156
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 8: He would be wearing red right now. He's day to

157
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 8: day and we'll see where it goes from here. He's

158
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 8: progressing though.

159
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 7: And with Joannie drawing out of the lineup last night,

160
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 7: is there anything in particular we wanted him to focus on,

161
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 7: you know, watching the.

162
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 8: Game, and you know, you know what he First of all,

163
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 8: it's not anything he did or didn't do. You know,

164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 8: Coppo came back into the lineup. We made that decision.

165
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 8: That doesn't mean that it's a long term for sure.

166
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 8: So you know, with him, I think any young player

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 8: can learn, excuse me, when they're sitting in the stands

168
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 8: and again, just positioning for him, not only defensive positioning,

169
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 8: but positioning offensively. How can he find areas and find

170
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 8: ways to get his shot off and create that space?

171
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 9: I asked you last night about well, you gave some

172
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 9: great insight on getting out of his own and using

173
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 9: that's going to create offense, and he talked about poise

174
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 9: and composer with whom bucket and defensive zone. How do

175
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 9: you actually teach that that? It almost feels like it

176
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 9: would be a like an inherent type of thing as

177
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 9: opposed to something that he's learned, like, how do you

178
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 9: practice that?

179
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 8: Well, it can be an inherent thing, there's no question

180
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 8: about it. Obviously, it's you know, it's an instinctual thing.

181
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 8: But there is ways to help, and there's ways from

182
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 8: a team standpoint to find solutions and to be honest

183
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 8: with you, I thought, you know, last night, we didn't

184
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 8: spend nearly as much time in in our zone as

185
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 8: as we have. We did a better job of getting

186
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 8: pucks out, We did a better job on the walls.

187
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 8: You know, we had some early turnovers where you know,

188
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 8: they kind of stand out a little bit, but you know,

189
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 8: certainly towards the second half of the game, our numbers

190
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 8: and our time spent in our zone was very very good. Uh,

191
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 8: you know, from that standpoint, and you know, if we

192
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 8: can continue that trend, we'll we'll be trending upward. Obviously

193
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 8: the line of Miller's beIN a JAD and you know,

194
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 8: Paneren are a very good line and so they were

195
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 8: able to spend some time in our zone and make

196
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 8: some plays. But other than that, I thought we did

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 8: a pretty good job.

198
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 7: Lane.

199
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: Reaching back to a training camp for a minute, O'Brian said,

200
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: a really good first one snade the HL player in

201
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: the mud.

202
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 7: What did you see from him?

203
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 8: Williams here just a smart player, you know, and for

204
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 8: me it was nice to see him, you know, with

205
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 8: his offensive abilities also you know, playing a two hundred

206
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 8: foot game. That was probably the biggest thing that I

207
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 8: noticed about him was you know, his ability to see

208
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 8: the game from both sides of the bucket.

209
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 7: Well, for player like that is being a camp to

210
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 7: house so.

211
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 9: Sort of lookally great for him to know.

212
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 8: Well, sure, you know leadership qualities when you're a captain

213
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 8: of any team, there's certain lessons that you know and

214
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 8: experiences that you get and you learn and you learn from.

215
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 7: About seven days from now, we have four more games

216
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 7: wiped off the calendar, and it was also.

217
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: Back to back and this is kind of a contrasted

218
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: light that.

219
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: These guys just went through.

220
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 9: So how much do you kind of do that maybe

221
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 9: as rhythm.

222
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 7: And you know, probably a positive kind of these guys,

223
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 7: you know a little bit more doubt in.

224
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 8: This worth well, you do start to you know, like

225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 8: you say, you do start to get into a rhythm.

226
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 8: And again we've had, you know, we did have a

227
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 8: couple of good practice days, you know, but with you know,

228
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 8: as of lilast night, including last night, five games in

229
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 8: you know, eight or nine days and some traveling, some

230
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 8: back to back included in that. You've got to manage

231
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 8: your rest, you know, while maintaining the rhythm, and the

232
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 8: rhythm is you know, you get into you get into

233
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 8: game mode for the most part. So you know, we're

234
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 8: looking forward.

235
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: To that couch.

236
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 9: I've chat with a couple of the guys about Josh

237
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 9: Mhura what kind of teammate he is. They've said very

238
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 9: good things. What have you see it from him in

239
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 9: terms of how he interacts with his teammates?

240
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, just you know, there I concur with what they say. Certainly,

241
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 8: you know, he's a team first guy period. He's got

242
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 8: great energy, positive energy, you know, so I think really

243
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 8: really good for the group in terms of you know,

244
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 8: being a good teammate no matter what's going on, whether

245
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 8: it's in good times or bad times. That's what I've

246
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 8: seen so far.

247
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 9: And in his tenure at the Crack, And he's had

248
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 9: sometimes where he's kind of like in and out of

249
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 9: the lineup. What has what have you seen him on

250
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 9: the ice that's kind of made you trust.

251
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: Him in his role?

252
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

253
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 8: Well, he's you know, he's very responsible and he reminds

254
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 8: me a little bit of Langrin in terms of commitment level.

255
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 7: Uh.

256
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 8: You know, he's got a great commitment level. He you know,

257
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 8: when when there's something that needs to be done, whether

258
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 8: it's a shot be blocked or or to pay the

259
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 8: price to do something, pay the price to you know,

260
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 8: to make a play, he'll do it. So uh you know,

261
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 8: the other side of it too is that you know,

262
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 8: he's his mobility's pretty good and he's able to make

263
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 8: pretty decent breakout passes. So I've I've thought he's done

264
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 8: a very good job here over the first uh first

265
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 8: eleven games.

266
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: That's head coach Lane Lambert and the Kraken trying to

267
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: get back to reinforcing key principles when it comes to

268
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: getting out of their own defensive zone face offs, and

269
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: just plainly getting more shots on net. They'll put that

270
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: to the test of this evening against Chicago, a team

271
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: that didn't draw a lot of high expectations on paper

272
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: before this season, but Connor Bedard going next level has

273
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: certainly helped Chicago's cause so far under new head coach

274
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: Chef Blaschel. The Blackhawks coming in at five four to

275
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: three in just twelve games certainly a promising start all

276
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: things considered. They were a lottery team once again last

277
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: year in the midst of a rebuild. That season, they

278
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: were thirty first in the NHL with a minus seventy

279
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: gold differential, and the Krack is now trying to grab

280
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: their fourth win in the last five meetings against Chicago

281
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: and grab their ninth win in thirteen games all time.

282
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: More reunions in store. Andre Borakowski left the Krack in

283
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: this last summer in a trade to Chicago. He's back

284
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: in Seattle for the first time since that deal. He

285
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: owns nine points in eleven games. Ryan Denado, former Krack

286
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: and Ford as well, back with Chicago coming off a

287
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: massive contract extension. He owns eight points in twelve games,

288
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: not to mention six goals. Right now tied with Connor Bedard.

289
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: Speaking of Badard, at twenty years of age, he already

290
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: owns fifteen points in twelve games and one of the

291
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: more dangerous forwards as far as end to end rushes,

292
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: not just him, but another part of their youth, also

293
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: chipping in Frank Naser twenty seven points in fifty four

294
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: games last season but earning a big contract after that,

295
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: and Nasers so far nearly at point per game totals

296
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: the Detroit, Michigan product, owning eleven points in twelve games.

297
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: The big question here for Chicago is this start sustainable again.

298
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: They are five to four and three through eleven games,

299
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: gold differential sitting at plus three, but recently they pushed

300
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: Edmonton to the limit, getting an overtime point despite taking

301
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: a three to two overtime loss at Rogers Place back

302
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: on Saturday, when Evan Bouchard scored two forty three into

303
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: ot Blackhawks goals courtesy Tyler Bertuzzi and Andre Borikowsky as

304
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: well scored in period two and period three respectively. So

305
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: on the crack inside, they're looking to keep a good

306
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: thing going on. Home I squear they have been pretty stingy,

307
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: allowing just eleven goals so far in five games at

308
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: right now third fewest in the NHL for any team

309
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: on home mice. Jordan Eberley, by the way, a player

310
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: to watch out for here, the Cracking captain, owning thirty

311
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: four points in his career against Chicago. That's most on

312
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: the entire crack And roster. We'll have full blown coverage

313
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: opening up for you at six thirty tonight back by
