Too MUCH 110 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: and i think this is the most candid we've ever 111 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: heard And Seen, lane lambert who's prest accountability from, day 112 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 2: one culture from, day one but he's working with a 113 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: lot of moving parts. 114 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 7: Right. 115 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: Now, GUYS yeah i think, He's. 116 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 8: FRUSTRATED mike i think he's frustrated that he's seen this 117 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 8: team at their best and what they. Can do and 118 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 8: when you don't, see that, you're disappointed. You're FRUSTRATED so i. 119 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 8: GET it i think it's not necessarily, one thing but 120 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 8: it always starts. With leadership if your leaders, aren't going 121 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 8: it's tough to it's tough to have success in. This 122 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 8: league so it's always going to start from, from leadership 123 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 8: and then you look, for more and certainly the fourth 124 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 8: line is one area you look for. For more but 125 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 8: when the fourth line, is doing, you know the best 126 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 8: they can do, and contributing but there are other pieces that. Are, 127 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 8: missing again. That's FRUSTRATING so i get his position on. 128 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 8: THOSE questions i think it. STARTS there i think it 129 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 8: it spreads beyond in terms of, you know the starts 130 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 8: have not been good over this these last, five uh for. 131 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 8: Whatever reason and and and You know lane will say is, It, 132 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 8: fixable yeah, It's fixable but he can't. Fix it the 133 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 8: players have to, fix, It right so until they decide 134 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 8: to come out with an intensity that outmatches the team they're, 135 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 8: going against until they decide to punish the team physically 136 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 8: in the first five to, seven minutes especially, at home 137 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 8: to get the crowd, behind it until they decide to 138 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 8: not give up the first or second goals of the of. The, 139 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 8: game uh those bad starts are going. To continue and 140 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 8: and those are a couple of areas where you can. 141 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 9: Change, THAT yeah i think for me listening, to that 142 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 9: it goes back to a lot of what we. Talk about, 143 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 9: you know there really aren't. Egregious mistakes these are these 144 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 9: are small areas that, you know you're forty five games 145 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 9: in and you can hear in his, voice, like guys 146 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 9: we shouldn't be doing this forty five games in. Right 147 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 9: that that THAT'S What i THAT'S what i heard From 148 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 9: from lane in. Those COMMENTS and i think the frustration, 149 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 9: of hey we knew what they were going to do ON, 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 9: the pk we, watched it we knew this was coming 151 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 9: and we fell into, that. Trap right that is that, 152 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 9: is uh, you know the laps of the judgment whatever 153 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 9: you want to, call it momentary lapse. Of judgment this 154 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 9: isn't a bad, hockey team but, this team more often, 155 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 9: than not will let one mistake two mistakes end up 156 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 9: in the back of. Their net and we've, seen that 157 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 9: whether that be some bad passes when the. Defensive zone 158 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 9: all of these things.

They played you're hoping that that filters 170 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 9: into the rest of your lineup and the rest of, 171 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 9: your TEAM and i don't think we've seen that in 172 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 9: the last couple of Outings for seattle. 173 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: More deep, stuff here and we're going to get back. 174 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: To goaltending let's just kind of compare the numbers since 175 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: out Of the, christmas break because they are what they are. 176 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: Right Now philip grubauer seven games say percentage nine. Two 177 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: Five joey decord six games say percentage eight. EIGHT four 178 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: i think paraphrasing This lane lambert wasn't too thrilled at 179 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: some of the goals that were, led in Especially, By 180 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 2: DECORD and i think you had to kind of look 181 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: at this here from a. Contextual matter was it a? 182 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: Topable shot was? He screen was it? Deflected here, but 183 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: guys where are we at with goaltending, right now at 184 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: this clear and. 185 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 8: Present, Day, YEAH mike i looked at the last five 186 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 8: games for. Each goaltender of those five of those ten 187 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 8: five for, each goaltender six of them have had save 188 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 8: percentages below. Nine hundred AND again i go back to my. 189 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 8: Previous comment for this team, to win our goaltenders need 190 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 8: to be in the nine hundreds just to have a chance. At, Winning, 191 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 8: now yeah when, they drop when they drop, below that 192 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 8: you'd love to see this team step up, and say, Don't, 193 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 8: worry joey. Don't worry phil we. Got you we're gonna 194 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 8: put five or six in tonight and we'll win six five. 195 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 8: Five FOUR but i don't think you can count on that. 196 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 8: Very often so if these goaltenders aren't playing above nine hundred, 197 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 8: save percentages it just doesn't put this team in a 198 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 8: position to win. Hockey games that's. Number one number two 199 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 8: is specifically in the Game. AGAINST pittsburgh i looked at 200 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 8: three of the. Five goals there was nepty netter, as 201 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 8: well but three of the five goals there were shots 202 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 8: that went. Through screens now you, can say as, A 203 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 8: goaltender i couldn't see, the puck and at least on one, 204 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 8: of them you Could see joey, looking left, looking right 205 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 8: trying to see around. The screen and at a, certain 206 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 8: POINT and i have this from talking, to goaltenders at a, 207 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 8: certain point when you can't see the, shot coming all 208 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 8: you can do is anticipate when, it's coming listen for, 209 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 8: the sound and then get into the. Butterfly, position well 210 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 8: what happens when you go into the, butterfly position both 211 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 8: top corners are. Wide open that's where those goals. Were 212 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 8: Scored so i'm not putting It On joey tocorb that 213 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 8: three of those five goals were, his fault they. Were 214 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 8: screens my point is is that when this golten ing 215 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 8: duo and Eventually the trio isn't able to keep the 216 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 8: same percentage, of nine they don't put this team in 217 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 8: the position to win. 218 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 9: Hockey, games yeah you, Know this it's it's very unfortunate 219 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 9: because it's almost as if, our goaltending this, team's goaltending 220 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 9: is not allowed. 221 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 7: To have a. 222 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: Bad day they're not allowed to have. 223 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 9: A slump and that's, unfortunate, because like how many times 224 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 9: have we talked about players, not scoring, you know to 225 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 9: two guys, In Particular jade schwartz is on a nine game. 226 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 9: Point Round shane Wright gott, An assists he's got five 227 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 9: points his last twenty, three, games right but other players 228 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 9: are picking. Them Up and i'm not trying to call those, 229 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 9: guys out, you, know specifically but those are the two 230 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 9: that are the top of my mind. Right now goaltending 231 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 9: guys are, gonna slump, you know even The Even, andrey 232 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 9: Vasilevski Even, igors sterk even the best goaltenders that we 233 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 9: have in, Our League Jay, ottenerconnor hellibook even those guys 234 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 9: are going to have a down week or a, down 235 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 9: month and but they've got the pieces around them to pick. 236 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 9: Them up and we and we've said. It before this 237 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 9: is not me talking smack like this is this has 238 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 9: been said from coaches. And players our goaltenders have to 239 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 9: be our, best PLAYERS and i think that sometimes can 240 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 9: be a little bit of an unfair weight to put. 241 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 9: On them eighty two times. A year you Need A 242 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 9: patrick wavian goaltending performance in order to win three, To, Two, 243 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 9: right like at a, certain point we're gonna need, Four 244 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 9: goals we're gonna need. Five goals we're Gonna need, you 245 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 9: Know the kracking have given up twelve goals in their last. Two, 246 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 9: Games right they've been outscored twelve to six in the last. 247 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 9: Two games it would be nice If the cracking could 248 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 9: outscore team twelve to six over a two, Game, Stretch 249 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 9: right that would, Be, Nicest right but it's just not 250 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 9: how this team. Is constructed we've talked about the offensive 251 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 9: struggles all. Season long it's just not. This team so 252 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 9: it is the unfortunate weight that the goaltenders have. To 253 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 9: BEAR and i say all of this, To Say joey 254 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 9: decord in the last couple of games is probably going through, 255 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 9: an average normal slump that anybody in the course of 256 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 9: an eighty two game season will. Go, through right this is. 257 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 9: Nothing egregious this isn't Like Man joey decord, is watched. 258 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 9: You know this is This Is joey decord Playing in 259 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 9: january with, you know twenty some odds starts under.

GENERATIONAL talent I 325 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 10: think i think that they were robbed of watching him 326 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 10: in his, draft year and so not everybody was on 327 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 10: the same page as universally as Maybe a badada Or. 328 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 10: A celebrini, but boy, oh boy is this kid as 329 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 10: good as he could possibly imagine.

Extremely well so it's. Really 334 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 10: impressive it would be impressive to do what he's doing 335 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 10: at a twenty two to twenty, Three year well he's 336 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 10: doing it. 337 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 7: At eighteen it's. 338 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 3: Just phenomenal delicate. 339 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: Balance here as far As the, olympic roster which just came, 340 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: OUT recently, I Mean team canada is always going to 341 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: have a household list of Who's Who's, Drew Dowdy thomas 342 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 2: harley Down to, Cale Mccarr, Josh Morrissey, Travis Sandheim, shay.

Playoff, 370 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: picture brendan where do you see this picture playing OUT, 371 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: With Gm matthew darsh and the trade deadline coming After the. 372 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 3: Olympic, BREAK yeah. 373 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 10: I mean this WAS always i think going to be 374 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 10: a transitional type Year With matthew darsh coming in and 375 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 10: kind of inheriting a roster that was primarily built by, 376 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 10: his predecessor Remul. La morello, but realistically this team has 377 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 10: shown that they are in the conversation to be a, 378 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 10: playoff team and once you, get in you. Never KNOW 379 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 10: so i think what we're Looking After matthew darsh moving 380 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 10: forward here towards the trade deadline is that he's going 381 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 10: to be open to, adding pieces but it's not going 382 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 10: to be at the expense of. The future this is 383 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 10: not a team that probably is a one, piece away 384 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 10: we need to rent a guy in order to Win A. 385 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 10: STANLEY cup i don't think they're at that part of 386 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 10: where they are as, a FRANCHISE and I think mattie's 387 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 10: very well aware. Of THAT so i think they're probably 388 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 10: looking at trying to, add players but not in the. 389 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 10: Short term if it's a good hockey trade where they 390 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 10: can get a guy with, some term or get a 391 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 10: guy that they can sign, moving forward that's going to help, 392 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 10: their team but. THEY'RE not i don't think giving up 393 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 10: first round picks of this year's deadline to try and 394 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 10: make an all out push, for it BUT that i 395 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 10: still think they do think they need. To add They 396 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 10: Lost kyle palmurray for. The season that's one of their 397 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 10: top six forwards. Is down he's not coming back no 398 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 10: matter how long. They play They Lost, alexander romanov but 399 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 10: top foard Defenseman. In november he's not, going back at 400 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 10: least for the regular season and probably into. The playoffs 401 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 10: so even if you're just going to try and get 402 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 10: the team back to where he thought they would be 403 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 10: at the start of, the year they could. 404 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 7: Use a couple, of pieces one up from one. 405 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 3: Of back taking a look Across The. 406 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 2: Eastern conference, Right now detroit Is Pressing tampa bay for 407 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: first place In. The atlantic Pittsburgh Under dan muse and 408 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 2: what was supposed to be a transitional year their third 409 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: place right now In The, metro division and they look 410 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 2: pretty solid a couple of days ago Over At Climate. 411 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: Pledge arena then you have the Red Hot buffalo sabers 412 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: With Gm yarmo keka line and they're back in the. 413 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: Playoff mix and then teams Like the capitals and the 414 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: panther is on the outside. Looking in who surprised you 415 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: most either way so far In The? 416 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 10: Eastern, CONFERENCE yeah I think pittsburgh's got to be up 417 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 10: there at the top of the list, for me just 418 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 10: in the lack of expectations coming into the year and 419 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 10: how they've performed against. Those expectations and They Traded, tristan 420 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 10: jari they Bring In, stewart skinner but, you know they 421 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 10: were Missing At guinea mulkin for a. Long time but 422 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 10: It's It's, sidney crosby and it's it's again another another 423 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 10: piece of evidence of How Great sidney crosby is to 424 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 10: be able to put a team on his back and 425 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 10: get them to where. 426 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 7: They are, you know. 427 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 10: At the beginning of the year was all is he 428 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 10: going to finish the season in his career With the 429 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 10: penguins or are they going to be so bad that 430 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 10: he's going to want to get out and go to a? 431 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 10: Playoff contender and here we are making sure that that's 432 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 10: not even a conversation that anybody's having Because Of will, 433 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 10: crosby's done so a tip of the cap. TO him 434 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 10: i think that's got to be the. MOST surprising I, 435 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 10: think detroit certainly taking a step has. Been surprising the 436 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 10: beginning of, the YEAR when i saw Them And john 437 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 10: gibson was not, PLAYING well, i thought, oh boy there 438 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 10: and in and again they're going to miss. Playoffs Again 439 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 10: But john gibson starting to look like the guy they Got, 440 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 10: from anaheim and they're, very much very much in the. 441 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 10: Ticket THING so i think the more surprising things have 442 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 10: been the teams that. AREN'T in i think it's Been 443 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 10: the rangers And, The PANTHERS and, i mean Obviously the panthers, 444 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 10: have INJURIES but i think some of, those Teams even 445 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 10: montreal that was going to be the next step that 446 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 10: made me push For. THE vision I think toronto's been, a. 447 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 10: DISAPPOINTMENT right i think so most of the, Surprising teams, 448 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 10: and obviously if you're going to have teams that are 449 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 10: gonna surprise you into a, playoff spot they're knocking teams 450 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 10: out of a playoff spot to so the other end. 451 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 10: Of THAT but i really think the teams that are 452 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 10: most surprising in the In the east are teams that 453 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 10: are not in the playoffs. 454 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 2: Right now appropriately under Head coach Patrick wag golten has 455 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 2: been pretty strong here For the islanders. This Season, david 456 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 2: riddick of course Gave the kraken fits last, time out 457 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: but what do we make out of? His Season And 458 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: ilius rokens, as well who's been at the top of 459 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 2: the heap of what feels like almost every stack category. 460 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 10: This, SEASON brendan, i mean it's not understating it to 461 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 10: Say That elias thurokens should be on every ves in, 462 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 10: a ballot and he should probably be on some heart 463 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 10: ballots at this point for the way he has played. 464 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 10: This season he's been, that good and he started the. 465 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 10: Year poorly he started, the year, YOU know i think 466 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 10: he had an eight sixty something stay Percentage. 467 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 7: In october it was it. 468 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 10: Was bad but since the calendar Slip, to november he 469 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,239 Speaker 10: is the sole reason Why the islanders are where, they 470 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 10: Are And david ridick. As well the thropan went down 471 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 10: where he played seven games in, a row he. Was 472 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 10: fantastic he gools against Average for riddick and torokn. Are 473 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 10: equals the stay percentages is. Close enough so we really 474 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 10: What the islers have done Here with throken is, you 475 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 10: know they've seeded expectations because, you know they lead the 476 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 10: league in high danger, champces allowed but they also lead 477 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 10: the league at high beinger.
