Philip Grubauer was absolutely phenomenal, turning 40 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: in several high danger saves in the first nineteen shots 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: he saw through two periods of play, but the krack 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 2: And only able to manage just one goal, coming in 43 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: the power play courtesy Jordan Everley back in period two 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: and Grubauer falling to Philip Gustavsen down the other side 45 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: after Minnesota blew open a two to one lead late 46 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 2: in the game on a pair of back to back 47 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: empty ned goals by Carill Caprisov and Vladimir tara Senko. 48 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: We're gonna get to some comments after the game with 49 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: Igan Fornessen just a bit, but before that, the Krakend 50 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: catching back up at practice on Tuesday at Krackend Community 51 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: ice Plex, and here are more updates from krack and 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: head coach Lane Lambert. 53 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: Today's an end mean day. Today's a practice day. You know, 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: Tomorrow morning we'll probably give some guys some some rest. 55 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: They've got, you know, thirty six hours or so here 56 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 3: to prepare for tomorrow night. So you know, it's just 57 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 3: like I say, it's a balancing act of what what 58 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: the work ratio is, what we need to work on 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: and how much rest we need so, you know, I 60 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: mean obviously through the next two months till the end 61 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: of January, you know, till the Olympic break. It's a 62 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: challenge and it's a challenge for every team in the league. 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: Uh notice mechanicals out there once a status. 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's maintenance day, he should be. Okay, it's a 65 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 3: kind of conversation here for a little while. 66 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 5: Now. 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: If the defenseman impressed you adopted practice and shootout drugs, 68 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: would you from out there? 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah, there's no question. You know, we're you know, 70 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: I mean, at the end of the day shootouts. We've 71 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: been in three, you know, and we have guys that 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: have gone that have good overall career numbers, you know, 73 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: and sometimes you know, sometimes they score, sometimes they don't. 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: But certainly, you know, we've seen a couple of defensemen 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: here that have done pretty well when we practice shootouts. 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: It's one of them Adam Wars that managing. 77 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: They're all. 78 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: Let's put it this way, anyone's in option. Anyone's in option. 79 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 3: I was involved in a twenty round shootout when I 80 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: was coaching in Washington back and I think it was 81 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: probably two thousand and seventeen, maybe longest shootout in NHL history. 82 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: So everybody's got to be on alert good enough when 83 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: the team's going through a skid like this. From your 84 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: experience as a player, also as a coach, what does 85 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 3: it kind of take from the guys in that room 86 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: to be able to turn the page? 87 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 2: What kind of mass they happen? 88 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: They got to get together, you know, stick together, you know, 89 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: and determination. You know, the league is a difficult league. 90 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 3: It's a ruthless league. As I said last night, nobody cares. 91 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: Everybody's coming into to beat you, you know. But at 92 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: the same time, you know, if you look at it 93 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 3: two weeks ago, you know, we were one point out 94 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: of first place heading into a home game against Dallas, 95 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 3: which we played very well in and probably could have won. 96 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: And you know, now where we're sitting that's changed fast. 97 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 3: But as fast as it changes in one direction, it 98 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: can change in the other direction. And that's got to 99 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: be our focus right now. 100 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 5: Mentioning that determination and making even positive last night as well, 101 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 5: how do you go about that as a coach? 102 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: And is it all verbal or you know how you well, 103 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: there's there's verbal stuff, there's you know, film stuff. You know, 104 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: there's drills in practice, to continue to try and emphasize, 105 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: you know, what we need to work on, what we 106 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 3: need to develop. We're you know, we're a young team 107 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: that needs to develop our players on the fly here 108 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 3: as well. So, uh, you know, it's very important that 109 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: we keep a positive mind set. 110 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 5: And you said you didn't mind how you know Shameewright's 111 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 5: line played last night out for Yanni in particular, what 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 5: do you kind of note from him, you know, the opportunities. 113 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 3: That he's gotten. Yeah, I thought I thought their line 114 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 3: played well. I thought their line played well in Edmonton. 115 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: You know, analytically, you know, they're they were pretty good. 116 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: They were on the certainly on the positive side of 117 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: the shot chart. So you know, looking forward to seeing 118 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 3: those guys, you know, continue that. You know, with Yanni, 119 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: Johanni continues to grow. There's systematical things in the game 120 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: and positioning that he has to be in that he's 121 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: still learning and we have to continue working with him 122 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 3: and coaching them and teaching them. You know, what he 123 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: has that you know, what he has that you can't 124 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: teach is he's got size, he's got determination, he's strong. 125 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: You know, he's making some good plays with the pucket. 126 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: He's getting shots on goals. So you know those are 127 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: good positive attributes for him. 128 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: Is that growth that you're looking for for me more 129 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 4: on the defensive. 130 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: End or both sides. 131 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 3: I'd say both sides. Yeah. You know, for a young player, 132 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 3: it's not easy to create in this league. It's not 133 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: easy to score in this league. The best goaltenders in 134 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: the world, and you know, it's it's a situation where 135 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: that side of it and his understanding where he needs 136 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: to be and how that needs to happen. You know, 137 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: you continue to learn and grow and develop that and 138 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: and you know the defensive side of the game and 139 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: where he needs to be for that is something we 140 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: really have to work on as well. 141 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: Kind of Spook too through hours season. 142 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: Trajectory so far, he's played well, he's had a good 143 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: season so far. You know, he's every time he's come in, 144 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: he's given us a chance to win, and he's got 145 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: a good record. And uh, you know, he played out 146 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: standing last night. You know, we obviously didn't start the 147 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: game very well, there's no excuse for that, but he 148 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: did and so you know, he kept us steady and 149 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: kept us in the game early on and gave us 150 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: a chance to win that hockey game last night. So 151 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: you know he's come into the season, he's worked, he 152 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: had a great offseason. Our goalie coach has done a 153 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: great job with all our goalies, and you know he's 154 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: played well. 155 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Homestand finale coming up the Los Angeles Kings await and 156 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: when you can factor just the challenges that have come 157 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: the Cracking way, especially in Minnesota, this one may not 158 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: get much easier from a defensive standpoint in the Crack 159 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: and trying to answer that getting out of a six 160 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: game winless skid.

And they're scuffling, man, 169 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: they are really scuffling right now. And it's it's a 170 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: bummer because they started so well the early part of 171 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: the season with soap vomiting, but the last what game? 172 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: What have you or? Are a little bit frustrating to watch. 173 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: It's no doubt I'm going to go back and replay 174 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 2: comments here from two nights ago. I know that you 175 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: covered this a bit in the Daily power Play and 176 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 2: Al and I just broke it right down to the 177 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: studs on talking kracking. But we're gonna line this up. 178 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: Jordan Everly asked about the game from two nights ago, 179 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 2: and then Lane Lambert went asked about Beverly's comments right 180 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 2: after this. 181 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 5: I don't care how you play. I think it just 182 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 5: comes down to, you know, we For me, it's just 183 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 5: we need to find a little bit better from everybody. 184 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 5: You know. You can say we're working hard, competing, but 185 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 5: I just think that, you know, we need to find 186 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 5: a little bit more from every single guy. The efforts, Sarah, 187 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: I know the guys are working hard and competing. I 188 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 5: just think that we need to find you know, whether 189 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 5: it's you gotta make an offensive play, whether you're gonna 190 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 5: win a battle, whether you gotta you know, make a 191 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 5: wall play, whether you got a bog shot. 192 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 4: We just need more. 193 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 5: We need more, will we need more, you know, more 194 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 5: passion to win hockey games. 195 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: This is a good team. 196 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: I know we are. 197 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 5: I've been you know, been on a lot of teams 198 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 5: and I know we're a good team. We just have 199 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 5: to find a way to get back to you know 200 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 5: the process of being detailed, being hard to play against, 201 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 5: and you know, the more you do that each night 202 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 5: more consistently in to win games. 203 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: I would agree with his assessment that we need more 204 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: from everybody. Uh, you know, we we have to have 205 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: everybody playing well and we just can't afford to have 206 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 3: any passengers. And I didn't think I didn't think everyone 207 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: brought their best tonight. 208 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 4: Ian. How do we get here? 209 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: When you hear those comments from the captain Jordan Everly 210 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: and the head coach in lane Lambert, Well. 211 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: I guess you'd have to ask that inside the room. 212 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: I thought they were really strong comments post game on Monday. 213 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: I liked what I heard. You know, I think, first 214 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: of all, one of the most underrated terms, and this 215 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: passenger you can use that in everyday life. Like he 216 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: looked around and the guy next to you at work, 217 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: are you just a passenger? Are you pulling your weight? Right? 218 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: I think these guys are. You know, there are definite 219 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: passengers and really all you have to do is look 220 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: not always does the stack columns and the stat sheet 221 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: show everything you need to know. 222 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,599 Speaker 4: Like matt E. 223 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: Vaneer is a great example that Mattypineer's having a really 224 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: good season, not scoring a lot from the goals, has 225 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: some use of numbers in his fists, but Matty Vaneer's 226 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: game is anything but a passenger. He's been a fantastic 227 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: But there are other guys. If you look and you 228 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: see in the goal column won two or three goals 229 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: for guys that aren't contributing to bole fans and aren't 230 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: pointing everything. Maybe there were a mids or two on 231 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: either contract extensions or trades. I think we all agreed 232 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: what they did in the off season was was pretty good, 233 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: I guess step in the right direction. But over the 234 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: last few weeks and really the course of the season, 235 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: for some of these guys, it hasn't been good. That 236 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: how did they get there? That's an internal question, that's 237 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: something they got to ask themselves. But it's frustrating because 238 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: you know, Mike, the goaltending has been you know, Joey's 239 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: been Joey hasn't been good in the last two games, 240 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: but Joey overall has been really good. And Grubauer's been 241 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: like phenomenal issue. Like Ruby's been really good all season long. 242 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: So with that goldtenning, with what he's got in the 243 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: back end, offensive productions in the back end, it's been 244 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: above average upper third of the league. You got to 245 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: get more from upfront. And I don't know if that's 246 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: Deffard execution or a combination of. 247 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: Well, I want to get to goltending here ian because 248 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: Grubauer statistically is on pace for his best season since 249 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: the COVID shortened year of twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. 250 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 2: He's in a nine to zeroero say percentage. And this 251 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: is even inclusive of that throwout the window game they 252 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: had at Edmonton where Grubauer came in relief of Joey 253 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: to court as well. I mean, I think you've already 254 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: answered the question as far as what we make out 255 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: of Grubauer here for the season. But here's an interesting 256 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: part of this and a new wrinkle. We're going through 257 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: a busy part of the schedule, seeing this team play 258 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: eleven games in twenty days. I mean, how much more 259 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: are you convincing this is going to open up more 260 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: potential starts for Philip Grubauer. 261 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think you have to give him more opportunity 262 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: until Joey gets better, right, I'd be I'd be hesitant 263 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: to say, I think I think about giving given Grubauer 264 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: to start to getting the Kings. But you'll see what 265 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: happens later on that. I think the great thing is 266 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: it's a nice thing to have. Like when you signed 267 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: Philip Grubauer, you sign him, you know, as the number 268 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: one guy, and in the last couple of years, it's 269 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: been anything but that. So for him to bounce back, 270 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: it's really good. I mean, that's a that's a big 271 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: time positive. Like I said, I'm not I'm not too 272 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: worried about Joey yet. I think we've seen enough body 273 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: of work, even a little bit of a slump stuff 274 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: in a little bit. I think he's the last two games, 275 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: for example, they're at least one, if not multiple goals. 276 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: He got back that. You know, Jilly McCord is the 277 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: least year problem. Philip gru Bowery is a solution to 278 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: some problems. Kept you in the game against Minnesota's I mean, 279 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: Michae he had three breakaways and that gave me stopped 280 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: two or all three of them. 281 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, it's easy here to think Ian that 282 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: if they were facing Colorado or Dallas or Edmonton, that 283 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: score could have gotten away from them very quickly in 284 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: period one. 285 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: It could have. Although I mean, I'm trying to think 286 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: who had the breakaways? Didn't the Boldie had one? Boldie 287 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: had one. 288 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: Ryan Hartman also had a great look too, and you 289 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: also had Yeah, you also had Yakov Trenyon. 290 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they the sense he really kind of 291 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: kept you in that game. I just think to me 292 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: he made a positive too, Mikeys that they had a 293 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: great job. They did a great job and had their 294 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: best game killing Kettledys and forever they're perfect killing Kennledy. 295 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: And that's the team that in the tracking and giving 296 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: up seven power play goals in the previous game attempts 297 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: over the previous three games into the opposition, that doesn't 298 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: hurt us. I mean, stopping seven of eight's one thing. 299 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: Giving up seven of eight is that's crazy. And then 300 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: they are they're perfect in the PK. Last night they 301 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: get the power play goal, which is the beauty thing 302 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: of beauty. They really tapping from Stevenson. They just have 303 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: to get five on five score and they've got to 304 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: get more from their offense. They're more from their forwards. 305 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: I think Person Caton being out is not hurting them people. 306 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: They always only got five assists and the goal you 307 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: watch person Canton play, meaning we think we believe he 308 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: got to hurt blocking a shot, paying the price. And 309 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: as far as just setting guys up, he's been great, 310 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: only getting better every game. But there's other guys that 311 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: can have to start to finish with the buck in 312 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: the net and that's just not happening right now. 313 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 4: What stands out to you as far as what they 314 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 4: miss the most with Jayden Schwartz. 315 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: Well, the time, he's your leadings point producer, so that's 316 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: the obvious one. He paid the price get front presence, 317 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: even though he's not a big guy, plays the game 318 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: the right way. Here to say that all the time, 319 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: but it's true. I think he's really one of the 320 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: most underrated players in the league. There's a lot of 321 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: skill there. There's a lot of grit hockey fensis through 322 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: the roof, makes all the right plays at bull fends 323 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: the ice. I mean, just a really good hockey player, 324 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I mean he's he's not McKennon, McDavid, 325 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: what have you, But he's a really good hockey player 326 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: and arguably one of their two or three best skaters, 327 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: at least in terms of the forward group. I mean, 328 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: your best skaters right now are Matty Veneers and Done 329 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: and Montour. Yeah, right, those are your best players. And 330 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: it's not close. But Schwartz, if he's on the ice, 331 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: he's right there too. 332 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: I want to get to the Vince Done hit, and 333 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: we had a lengthy conversation about this al Kaniski myself 334 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: even during gameplay, Everett and now as well. And I think, 335 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: first off, my thought on this scene is that you 336 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: really feel bad for Matt Zugarello for the way he 337 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: had to exit that game. But in today's NHL, in 338 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 2: the modern NHL, it is extremely, extremely difficult to lay 339 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: in a thundering hit like Vince Dunn did and do 340 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: it the clean way. And it was absolutely positively one 341 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: hund a clean hit. And it didn't take long for 342 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 2: even that off a clean hit to stir the hornet's 343 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: nest with Minnesota, and then you had Ryan Hartman trying 344 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: to chase him all over the ice to try to 345 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: get him to fight Vince Done. 346 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 4: By the end of the first period. What were your 347 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 4: thoughts on the hit, we'll. 348 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: Start to hit itself great hit hockey play. One of 349 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: the reasons we love the game, many of us love 350 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: the game is the speed, the skill, but also the 351 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: physicality of it. Some of that's been taken away over 352 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: the years, and a lot of the physicality that's been 353 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: taken away to take it away in the right way, 354 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, like it's from behind, blindside hit, gets in 355 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: the hand, things like that that don't exist anymore. We 356 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: don't have much fighting off. Yes, uh so you know 357 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: those are all fine as far I mean, but that was, 358 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: like you said, Mikey, that was just hey, you first, like, 359 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: do you want to cut back to the center of 360 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: the ice? You want to go open ice? And you 361 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: got twenty nine bearing down on you. Who who plays 362 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: the game in a you know, basically a perpetually pissed 363 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: off state of mind. That's that's that's a youth problem. 364 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: That's the Zucarella problem. That's not anybody else's problem. 365 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: If you don't want to get hit by a freight train, 366 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: don't go walking on the tracks. 367 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: And and honestly, like I don't know what else people 368 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: expected to happen. There is is bence supposed to just 369 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: pull out the you know, the Matador cape and say 370 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: oh hey and away you go like, no, that's not 371 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: how it works. And and like I said, Vince, Vince 372 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: Dunn plays the game the right way, played hard, like 373 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: I like, I think he's you know, when we when 374 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: we have him on the TV shows on the on 375 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: the television side, any time Piper some of the interviews 376 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: of you know, he's really thoughtful, he thinks the game through, 377 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: he's the game well, but plays it hard. That was 378 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: a hard, great hockey play, great hockey hit. And and 379 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: then you know he knew what was coming. They're gonna 380 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: all challenge him. Duke Corella is a popular guy as 381 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: a veteran, he's coming off an injury, you know all 382 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: those things. I think we all get it and we 383 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: all understand it. But at the same time, it was 384 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: the hit was fine, Like it was a good hit, 385 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: and you know, they challenge him, or they go in 386 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: the corner to scrum, we break it up, booms gets 387 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: color play. Thanks for coming all good end of the period. 388 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean I think how many times 389 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: we said you and I even on this to some 390 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: of this podcast. We need a better response from the 391 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: crack and we need this response. 392 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 393 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: I can hear Edzo echoing in my head right now, Johnny, 394 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: where's the response. Who's going to respond to that? Where's 395 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: the response? Well, like they want Brian Hartman wanted to respond, 396 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: I saw I won't name the website, but I saw 397 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: an insinuation from a local website blogger, podcas cas what 398 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: have you? Whatever you want to call it, kind of 399 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: insinuating it. Done back down from a challenge by Hartman, 400 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: and listen, if you really believe that you haven't watched 401 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: twenty nine play the game ever, he he You can't 402 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: afford to lose Vince Done for five, ten or fifteen minutes. 403 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: You can't. 404 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 4: He's one of players. 405 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: He's one of your best players, period. And the story now, 406 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: if a fight happens, you know, and he goes after 407 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: guys a lot, we've seen it, uh whenever you know, 408 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: when's Calgary coming up pretty quick? Right at some point, 409 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: like we all know how that's gonna go. He's gonna 410 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: chase the guy around all night. That's not gonna want 411 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: to answer the bell. I get it, we all get it. 412 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: But if Vince Done gets the strap and the heat 413 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: of the moment, you live with it if Vin's done, 414 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: it's challenged by a guy well after the fact in 415 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: a game that at that point was was it one one? 416 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: I think I believe right doesn't matter. If one game? 417 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: Why what do you what do you get out of that? Like, 418 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: when do you get out of that? You the guy 419 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: challenge you after a clean hit? No, you know what, 420 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: I'll do it on my time part man, Like I'll no, 421 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: you can go away. That was silly. But yeah, for 422 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: people to insinuate that he backed down or something, and 423 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: that's that's moronic to be honest with you, Like what 424 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: are you doing? Like why would you like Vince's done that? 425 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: Like nope, Like I wasn't even worried when they went 426 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: in the corner and the scrum was happening and all 427 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: the wrestling match was taking place, Like, well, the Kraken 428 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: can ill afford to lose him here. Now if he 429 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: wants to grab somebody, uh, you know, Trendon or whoever 430 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: else is in the corner, you want to grab somebody 431 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: and throttle him, fine, but you know, Vince done's too important. 432 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: I didn't have any problem with that. The problem is 433 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: they don't have anybody anst thebellion Pagoshin was gonna run 434 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: around and be a fool the rest of the night, 435 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: and he was. I get it, and I understand that's 436 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's that's gonna be his thing. Seattle 437 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have any many Seattle doesn't have the guy that's 438 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna go Toto fell with him anyway. So you know, 439 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: that's just part of the game. It happens. You know, 440 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: I think there's certain guys in this team that do respond, 441 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: and I like it. I mean, Freddy Goodrow got his 442 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: first career fight. 443 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 4: You know, get that, Freddie Goodrow Ty Cartier as well. 444 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Ty Cartier he'll respond. Yeah, you know, you 445 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: know that does pretty good. GROW's first fight ever, like 446 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: and like he shouldn't have to he shouldn't have to 447 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: do that. Now, if you want to ask about passengers, 448 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 1: there was a guy on the ice that hasn't done 449 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: the ice for a while for a couple of games. 450 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: Now it was standing there watching you Drow have to 451 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: answer the bell there and not answer the bell, just 452 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, stick up for his teammates. So you know, 453 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: I think they got they you know, there's some guys 454 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: out there that they give you all they got and 455 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: they do the play the game the right way. But 456 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: for Vince then to have to fight a guy would 457 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: be you know, at the end of a period, it's ridiculous. 458 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: Get away, go to the locker room. You're too important 459 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: to that team, and I'm glad he didn't. 460 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: Finally, the King's coming up here in the krack and 461 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: we'll see them twice this month, and we'll see you 462 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 2: gets the nod and net because Philip Grubauer's got great 463 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: numbers against the Kings for his career, Joey d Kord's 464 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: got great numbers against the Kings for his career. But 465 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 2: still they're gonna be facing a team that still has 466 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 2: a defensive heavy approach among one of the top teams 467 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: as far as fewest goals allowed, one of the top 468 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: teams fewest shots allowed. But they are still very much 469 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: a flawed offensive team. Despite ripping Chicago a parts six 470 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: two games ago and then beating Utah, who's been pretty 471 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: good lately but sluggishly coming back down a little bit 472 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: for two as the final score in that one. So 473 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: I think we know that we're gonna get out of this, 474 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: and I'd be surprised if it's nine to eight. Once 475 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 2: again in overtime like three years ago, two to one 476 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: or three two when you face the Kings seems to 477 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: be on the menu now. But I think when you 478 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 2: consider how Jordan Everly spoke of his teammates and trying 479 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 2: to get them fired up, what Lane Lambert said in 480 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 2: trying to possibly get his team as well fired up 481 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: is the biggest key here for the Crack. And you 482 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 2: think energy in period one, energy toward the front of 483 00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: the net or something else. 484 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: Well, first period, coming out strong in the first period, 485 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: it would be a good start. I think that's I'm 486 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: sure that's what Lane will be preaching. I'm sure that's 487 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: what he'll be pushing. I mean, at some point, there's 488 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: only so much the coach can do or say. They 489 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: have some net front presence as a game went on 490 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: laugh Monday, I guess, but I that part I'm not 491 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: as worried about. I think just a good start, getting 492 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: on top of somebody early, and not just by a goal, 493 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: but getting on top of somebody early and taking advantage. 494 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: I think trailing after one period.
