18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: making a trade. The other night they sent mar Marshment

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for two draft picks,

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 2: a second rounder in twenty twenty seven and a fourth

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: round pick in twenty twenty six, previously owned by the

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: New York Rangers. Columbus will take on the entirety of

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: Marchman's four point five million dollars salary, which will expire

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: at the end of the season, where he will become

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: a free agent. KRACK and GM Jason Botterill saying in

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: a statement, quote, this trade gives us more draft capital

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: and flexibility as we look to improve our team moving forward.

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: End quote.

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: The Kraken originally got Mason Marchman from the Dallas Stars

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: this past June for a fourth round draft pick in

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: this previous summer's NHL draft and a fourth round pick

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: this next summer. March Mint at four goals in nine

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: as sis in just twenty nine games with the Kraken.

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: The lineup should look different. Well, how different will it look?

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: That's a matter of a question. After the Kraken fell

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 2: forward two to the Calgary Flames and now look into

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: I San Jose to end a one nine to one

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: skid in the previous eleven games. A win would give

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: the Kraken two wins out of three in the head

40
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: to headset against an upstart Sharks team led by Matt Mancelabrini,

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 2: Will Smith and much more. The Kraken fell four two

42
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: to the Flames, owning a third period lead for the

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: second straight night, this time only two surrender three unanswered goals,

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: giving the crack in their second consecutive loss when leading

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: after two periods this season. Where it leads them and

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: how do they respond new day? That's what the Cracking

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: are looking forward to here for game two of the trip.

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: Last time they're facing the San Jose Sharks this season.

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: Can you believe it?

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: In?

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: A win would give them not just two out of

52
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: three against Sant Jose, but really a refreshing approach here

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: to what has been a rough last eleven games. The

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: Mayor and Maple Valley here to talk about this with

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: the c and Forness on the KRACK and Hockey Network

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: also one to three ninety three three kgur weekdays. Mayor,

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: I have no else, I have nothing else to say

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: about this and as far as how we can describe this,

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: but they're just in one. They're in one second straight

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: time losing a third period lead.

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: Now we've talked about the slide.

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: They've been on here for the last eleven games, losing

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: Jaden Schwarz, Jared McCann, now Brandon Montor and we can

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: talk about the implications long term, and there are plenty

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: short term. This is why I'm looking forward to tonight.

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Who responds, how they respond, and even how the lineup looks.

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I think Mike. The thing is hard

68
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 4: right now is they're just creating new ways to lose

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: every night, and that's what's hard to be. You know,

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: Lane said on Wednesday, I guess it was that before

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: they went up the Calgary You know, he likes the process,

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: likes where they're at. The results aren't there, and we

73
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: all know it's the results based business. It's not college football.

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: There's no subjective nature do it. No one's voting on

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: whether or not you're good or not, and you know

76
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: ower franking peeps absolutely nothing. So it's about results and

77
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: the results aren't there. And every time they make a mistake,

78
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: it's in the back of their own net. They make

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 4: too many mistakes, so I'm not giving them a path

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: saying woe is me. It makes being any mistake and

81
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: they're like Plane said it after the game in Calgary,

82
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: like like there's things we just can't do, and we

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: keep doing. I don't know what a coach needs to

84
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: do to get it to their heads. Now, they're missing guys,

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: they're missing a lot of offense. They're missing a lot McCann,

86
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: Monty and Schwartz out. It's just killer for a team

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: that doesn't have enough offense. And you know, frankly high

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: end talent as it.

89
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: Is, so it's hard.

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: But you got to find a way because nobody cares

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: in this league. Nobody cares, nobody cares about you. You've

92
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: got to find a way. But yeah, they got three

93
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: games before the break. I you know, win two of

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 4: the three, and you feel okay going in the break.

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: And then and then let's see what happens. Let's see

96
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: if bos gets creative, Let's see if they do some things,

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: check some things up, expiring contracts. I don't think the

98
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: season is lost by any stretch. Might e, but they

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: got to do something because what they have right now,

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: flat out is not working.

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: Forgot about that point last year when they had to

102
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: really shake things up with getting Compo Cocko in. I

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: think we're at this point now where you know you're

104
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: running out of options based on what you've done over

105
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: the last nine, ten eleven games, and you hinted at this.

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: Here's more. With Lane Lambert meeting with the media the

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: other night, Lane Compo.

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 4: Mentioned that maybe some of the guys were so afraid

109
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 4: the Bates face and a third period protecting the football

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: leads you.

111
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: I think that's ridiculous.

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: I think we needed to get on the fore check.

113
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: We talked about Stan on our toes, you know, so

114
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: if that's what's going on.

115
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Then it has to change. What do you need from

116
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: from the packs? More detail? More detail in certain areas

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: that are game changers. You know.

118
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: We cannot turn the puck over entering the blue line

119
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: on their third goal.

120
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: It just can't happen. And we keep doing these things

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: over and over again, and it's getting old and we've

122
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: got to figure this out.

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: His voice is pretty firm, and I think he set

124
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: the tone pretty well after the media spoke with Coppocco

125
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: and now we get this and so ed, now this

126
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: is getting I think down a morale because this is

127
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: pull your booststraps up territory. This is not just here

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: for the short term talk of where things are right

129
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: now in the standings, and it's going to be a

130
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: tough climb out of the seven point gap right now.

131
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: But this is him trying to reinforce the foundation of

132
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: what this team is supposed to be all about.

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and let me just if I can just jump

134
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: on a soapbox for a second, if I could. Yeah,

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: this is not a Lane Lambert problem. This is not

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: a Lane Lambert problem. This is not a coaching staff

137
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: Lane Lambert, and I would say specifically Chris Taylor and

138
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: you know what, the penalty kill has been better. They

139
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 4: gave up the one on Thursday, but you know she

140
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 4: clothed and Taylor and Lane, that's this is not them.

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: This is a roster construction along with some bad luck

142
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: with injuries, problems, guys not developing better, guys not getting it,

143
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: mental mistakes, just brain dead to be honest with your

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: brain dead mistakes. The Blue Liners. Lane just mentioned he's

145
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: dead it. He's turned brain dead idea. So that's what

146
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: he said. This is not a Laine Lambert problem. And

147
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: for those that are screaming and yelling off coaches issue,

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: and maybe they need to, they're not making a coaching change,

149
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: nor should they make a coaching change.

150
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: They've done this down twice in the last two years.

151
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: There is no rhyme to do this. None none, no, Ke.

152
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: And listen, captain, you know this. This is not a

153
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 4: lay problem. This is whether you maybe it's roster construction

154
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: and if that's part of it, but I think part

155
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: of it is just guys aren't getting it, and guys

156
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: are making mistakes and guys aren't playing up to their abilities.

157
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you, I don't know where in

158
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: the world the Veneer's line was on Thursday that like, yeah,

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: thing was, you're like nonexistent And I'm sorry, Maddie and

160
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: as in company, you guys have to be great. You

161
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: have to be the best line every night. If you're

162
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: not the best line, you better be the second best line.

163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: Non existence, no show the Shane right, comple Coco Yanni

164
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: Newman line. Really probably make the argument for the last

165
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: two games, has been your best line? Most impactful?

166
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: Uh?

167
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: You know I who's been going to the front of

168
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: the net more. It's a very very very very easy answer, right, And.

169
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: I'll say this Coppocco and uh and and Yanni Newman listen,

170
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: they'll make a mistake here or there. I you just

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: got to play the hell out of those guys and

172
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: let him get through it. Uh, they're still really players, Shane,

173
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: really young player. Chandler Stevenson's got a seventeen point three

174
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 4: goals and three straight. I'm not pointing a finger at him.

175
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: There's other guys that are and Lane use this term

176
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 4: a few weeks ago. There are passengers out there. Move them,

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 4: get them out, do something, because frankly, you're a really

178
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: critical spot right now. This fan base, this fan base

179
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: a deserves better ownership, deserves better front office in terms

180
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: of those selling tickets that advertised you. They deserve better

181
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: from the product on the ice. The hockey team right now,

182
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: they've got to be better. And there's no excuse. There

183
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 4: is no excuse for this particular team to be what

184
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: is it, one nine and one of their last eleven

185
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: and without a regulation win in the month of December, Like,

186
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: there's no excuse for that. And there's some guys got

187
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 4: to look there, looked in the mirror. I just it's

188
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: it's really hard to watch. And then you know bad

189
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 4: penalties like eleven shots of the forty six I think

190
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: it was right, forty six shots on on Thursday. Eleven

191
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: of those came on the power play the thirty second

192
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: power play the NHL as bad as that power play is, statistically,

193
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: you give them four chances they're going to score. At

194
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: some point they are five chances, and that's what they did.

195
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: They finally scored on their on their fifth opportunity, and

196
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: on their eleventh and final power play shot, they scored

197
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 4: a goal. Like there's just so many things that and

198
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: I can feel the frustration with laying because I feel it.

199
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: You feel it. Every fan feels it, banging your head

200
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: against the wall, going what in the world are you

201
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: guys doing right now? And what are you doing to

202
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 4: get out of this pump? What are you doing to

203
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: make sure that this team doesn't spiral out of playoff

204
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: contention by the middle of January? What are you doing

205
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: to help the cause right now? There's too many guys

206
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 4: that aren't doing enough.

207
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: By the way, you want to throw this in here.

208
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: Also, as far as who's been doing something, I should

209
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: say the Cracking had twenty four hits the other night.

210
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: Nearly half of them came from this line.

211
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: Ian Ty Krcier, Ben Meyers, Jakob Malanson and malansons what

212
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: seven hits as well? There's a guy who wants to

213
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: keep staying in the lineup and make a difference.

214
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 4: I play I play him every night, I play them

215
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: every single night. I mean, he hits everything in sight.

216
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 4: He's hard to play against. Lane's mentioned that a few times.

217
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 4: We gotta be hard to play against. Well, the hardest

218
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 4: guy to play against is the guy that's gonna like,

219
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: you know, you're gonna take his number and look where

220
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: he's better every time he's on the ice. You know

221
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: he's listen. The fourth line is not the problem. And

222
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: whether it's those three or if you want to insert,

223
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: you know, I think Winterton's no better than I think

224
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: he's a fourth liner for being honest with the like

225
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: when he has to move up and when he has

226
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: to move up and get top nine or whatever minutes,

227
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 4: that's that's not good. You know, that's just isn't That's

228
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 4: not a guy that the top nine guy. He's a

229
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: fourth piner and a good fourth pliner, get penalty killer.

230
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: But let's just take that fourth line and out of

231
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: fourth and winter Kit. Those guys give you what you want.

232
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: They give you what you need for for who they are.

233
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 4: But we shouldn't talk about like no team in the

234
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: league talks about the fourth line more than this. None

235
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 4: nobody talks about the fourth one we do in this

236
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: in Seattle because that's our only highlight some night is

237
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 4: a fourth line that goes out there as hard to play.

238
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: Again, those have strong implications, man, right, yeah.

239
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just one of those. Let me just give

240
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: another a couple other shoutouts real quick. I don't think

241
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 4: for the most part, there's a couple of guys that

242
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: you could say, maybe you're having it down yere, you're

243
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: not maybe doing or developing what we want. But like

244
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: I thought, the last two or three games, Genie like

245
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 4: he actually been really good, Like I think he's gonna

246
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: I think he's really kind of taking a step. And

247
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. He's playing more physically,

248
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: he's playing bigger, goes to well.

249
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: Fourheads to take away two block shots. Also the block

250
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: shot big rig is what we saw in the playoffs

251
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty three, and it goes to the

252
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: net like he does.

253
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 4: I like.

254
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: I like it.

255
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: Ryan ling Gren gives you everything every single fifty five.

256
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: You know what you're gonna get. That's a great stay

257
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 4: at home boom defenseman. I know there's underlying numbers that

258
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: don't like him. Watch the damn game and you tell

259
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: me the Ryan Langran doesn't help you as a hockey team,

260
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: make a difference to the defensive zone. Those guys help you.

261
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 4: You know what twenty nine is gonna give you every night.

262
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 4: And that's just showed restraint Thursday, like thought he was

263
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: going to kill what's his face with a humidor right

264
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 4: like I thought he was going to kill him. And

265
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: you know he's got that assassined look on his face.

266
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: And he didn't like he didn't he knew like, no,

267
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: mon tour, I can't do this. I can't go off

268
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: for five minutes and Calgary and anybody wearing a red

269
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: jersey I want to absolutely assassinate. I get that, But

270
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 4: he didn't. And gins gives you what he's got every night,

271
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 4: and you love his game. I just and Josh for

272
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: her Holy smoked. I mean your goaltenders and your deed

273
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 4: for the most part, giving you a chance to win

274
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 4: every night. Where are the top six? Where are the

275
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: top nine? It's that simple. And sometimes what they're doing

276
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: is they're helping the other team.

277
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: I e.

278
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: What we saw the other day was a turnover. Uh

279
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: and they caught you the game winning.

280
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: Goal after Joey the Cord put up I thought one

281
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: of the great performances of this season, and he had

282
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: to stop anything that moved the other night. I don't

283
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: know if you look toward him or Philip Grubauer against

284
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: San Jose, but they're going to have their hands full

285
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: here handling Macklin celebrity because they come off what are

286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: their more thrilling wins in franchise history.

287
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: There has been.

288
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: Taught that the auror has been restored right back at

289
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: the Shark tank, and they control the cut line here

290
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference. So I mean we keep sitting

291
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: in big game, big game, big game. Well, I mean

292
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: you want to get your morales well back on the tracks,

293
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: Let alone the record, go in, rip off two points

294
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: in regulation in San Jose and show that this is

295
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: all behind you.

296
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I don't tell you why that you just

297
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: keep doing what you're doing. I mean the rotation spine,

298
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: you know, like they just back and forth with those

299
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: two guys that Bill, I mean, I you know one

300
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: guy's I mean, you know, Joey's had a couple of

301
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: nights to Senery's been pulled. Uh, Ruby's been fantastic and

302
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: de terms the play. I mean, I I'd go back.

303
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna play both of them Monday Tuesday, anyway,

304
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: so may I probably go. You probably go groovy Joey

305
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 4: Grooby to finish it off, right, I would think. But

306
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, that's again the easiest, the hardest problem you

307
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: have right now in the sense is who do you

308
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: go with that both guys have been good. Uh, it's

309
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: it's again. It's it's really a simple issue like mental mistakes,

310
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: mental airs, and it's inability to score goals. I mean,

311
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 4: they score two goals against against Calgary. You should have

312
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: scored more. Calgary is a high event team. They generate,

313
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: whether's the fourth or fifth most shots in the league.

314
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: You can get and then you know you can get

315
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 4: a little bit more to track meet with them, you know.

316
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I thought Seattle was really good the second

317
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: period Thursday and they take a two to one lead.

318
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: You're feeling good about yourself and I how you blow

319
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 4: a third period lead? Well, you saw the blueprint for it,

320
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: that turnover and then an MPN goal and I think

321
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: that's now the seventh goal just to this last ten games.

322
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: Like so, there's a lot of games that are stewed

323
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: point or score. But I just want tell those other

324
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: guys come back healthy. You've got to find a way

325
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 4: to keep this thing at least somewhat above water. And

326
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: right now they're not able to do that.

327
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: And they're facing San Jose who is seven points ahead

328
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: Maclin celebrity right now in contention for the scoring lead

329
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: of just nineteen years of age and showing that he's

330
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: already reaching super superstar tier status here in the NHL.

331
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: The goalid thing is going to be interesting.

332
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: Joey to Courd again coming off that performance tying a

333
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: career high in saves back on Thursday, nineties three and

334
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: four and seven games lifetime against San Jose. Philip Grubauer,

335
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: on the other hand, twelve five and one nineteen games

336
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: nine to one, seven say percentage against San Jose in

337
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: his career, by the way, he had the win last

338
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: time in that for the crack in against San Jose

339
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: back in the fifteenth of November. The course, this is

340
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: going to be a fun one. Ian, we hat the

341

Speaker 2: and the Crack and looking here to game two of

348
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: the trip to finally get back into the win column

349
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: after last night's trade sending Mason Marschman to Columbus. They're

350
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: looking to take two of three against the San Jose Sharks,

351
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: still yet facing some uncertainty as far as offensive contributors

352
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: in their lineup. Because Jaden Schwartz, Jared McCann, and Brandon

353
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 2: Montor have combined for nineteen goals this season, they were

354
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: all missing from the Kraken lineup Thursday when the Kraken

355
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: fell on the Calgary Flames. Schwartz and McCann expected out

356
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: longer term right now on ir Montor's ailment officially undisclosed,

357
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: oh was caught up in a scrum with Brent Burns.

358
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: Back on Tuesday.

359
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: Head coach Lane Lambert, of course, already expressing a possibility

360
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: he could play during the course of this trip. Chadler

361
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 2: Stevenson owning a seven game point streak. One more goal

362
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: or an assist gives him a new career high for

363
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: longest point run in his career. Plus the crack in

364
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: power play starting to really heat up. They've had goals

365
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: in five of the last six games. Of course, on

366
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: San Jose's side, there's some feel about what they have

367
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: turning into a potentially serious playoff contender, as they own

368
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: right now the last wildcard spot, seven points ahead of

369
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: the Kraken. The nineteen year old wonder Kid they call

370
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 2: Maclin Celebrini lead San Jose in points, goals, assists. He's

371
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: third in NHL scoring with fifty three points. His thirty

372
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: five assists are two behind the league's leader in Connor McDavid.

373
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: San Jose is coming off a five to three loss

374
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: to Dallas. This game will be the end of their

375
