Yeah, 178 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 10: that's the first time we got evacuated once before from 179 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 10: that building and it was like the middle of the show, 180 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 10: so it's the second time it's happened there. I don't 181 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 10: know what the deal is, but yeah, that was kind 182 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 10: of weird today or yesterday, I guess, but it was, 183 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 10: uh yeah whatever, I was done, man, But it's not 184 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 10: my blockdown, you know, four flights of stairs and got 185 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 10: to the park lower parking level, and it's like, wow, 186 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 10: why is nobody else even I just got my car 187 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 10: and left. 188 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 9: I full out. 189 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 10: There's like a hundred people out there like, well, either 190 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 10: I'm the smart one or the dumb one. But all 191 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 10: I know is I got out of there at time. 192 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: So and then there's Dave and and then there's David 193 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: Maler on location just having. 194 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: To fill Phil fill and fill with nothing. Oh that 195 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: that is an unenviable task. 196 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 10: But yeah, Friday, Friday was not the day to be 197 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 10: on remote because making him do a show. If he 198 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 10: was at the studio, he could have just gone home. 199 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: And oh goodness. 200 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I certainly hope that all are okay 201 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: as far as the serious matters involved here, But we 202 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: got a game to play coming up. There's four of 203 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: them left now for the Kraken, who still do not 204 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: have an E by their name. And you'll hear it 205 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: from anybody in the room. You'll hear it from Lane Lambert. 206 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: No one is going down without a fight, and the 207 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: Kraken fought to see another day against the Vegas Golden Knights. 208 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: Ian I want to touch on this because whenever you 209 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: get a team that drifts further and further away from 210 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: the realistic line of the Stanley Cup playoffs, you then 211 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: begin to hear about the old T word, and I 212 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: think you know which one I'm talking about in a 213 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 2: rhymes with bank. But a great point I thought that 214 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: you brought up on your show the other day, and 215 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: I will add here to this. The dangers of accepting 216 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: a mentality that aligns with that is that I think 217 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: that it begins to see suriously affect culture, which can 218 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: have some long term ramifications. Would you like to have 219 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: your team in a position to get a high draft 220 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: pick if you don't make the playoffs at the end 221 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: of the season, The answer is yes. But for me 222 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: to see a team that was still teetering last night 223 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: yet find a way to band together to play to 224 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: show what's working here for head coach Lane Lambert, I 225 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: thought was incredibly refreshing. And then after period three, game 226 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: tied by Bobby McMahon, I said this on the postgame 227 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 2: show with Al Koniski. There was something I felt that 228 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: hadn't been felt that late in a game at home 229 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: for a long long time, and that was energy. 230 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: Your thoughts. 231 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the key is is, first of all, 232 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 10: the HL is not about taking ye know, you and 233 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 10: I both know that that's not what the NHL does. 234 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 10: It'sbout how they operate and which makes it, you know, 235 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 10: a great league in a sense, like it's not the NBA, 236 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 10: I think inherently, the way that roster are constructed and 237 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 10: so forth. It's not you know, tankings just wouldn't be 238 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 10: part of the fabric of the National Hocheyleague. Ever, Uh, 239 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 10: it's still a lottery. You know, you're still still by 240 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 10: chance and the ESH you crease your chances if you 241 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 10: finished thirty second like Vancouver will, or thirty first or 242 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 10: thirty if what have you. But so like that, that 243 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 10: all makes sense, Mike, you we all understand how that operates, 244 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 10: but they don't. That's not how the AHL does it. 245 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 10: And so what's the alternative. We'll keep playing hard. And 246 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 10: I thought on Thursday it was interesting because they're they're 247 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 10: you know, they're playing that game and they're down to 248 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 10: malf and OK, they come back at an app that's 249 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 10: three to one in the third period very easily. 250 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 9: They could have just capped out. 251 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 10: Now maybe they would have anyway, but they got a 252 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 10: break stanchion. It's the assist Berkeley Catton going inside the chic. 253 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: They drew it up in practice, just like they drew 254 00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: it up. 255 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 10: But to their credit, they get that goal three to two. 256 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 10: Now you got some life. There's some life back in 257 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 10: the building. And then Bobby McMahon's scores ties it up 258 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 10: and they get to win in the shootout. And what 259 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 10: was really kind of, you know, Bretfastling to this on 260 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 10: RTV show, like pretty entertaining hockey game when. 261 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 9: You look at it all said and done. 262 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 10: A pretty good hockey game and pretty remarkable because one 263 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 10: team is playing for a division title. That was Vegas's 264 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 10: game in hand on Edmonton and they were two back 265 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 10: and Seattle's playing out the string. I mean, he had 266 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 10: the ease not next to their name, but we're all 267 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 10: being honest with ourselves that they're done. So I thought 268 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 10: that said a lot about the character of the team. 269 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 10: I think it said a lot about the head coach 270 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 10: and what he's trying to build and in still with 271 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 10: this group. And so it was a positive night all 272 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 10: the way around. Yeah, And you know the funny thing 273 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 10: is it didn't really affect them in terms of lottery odds, 274 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 10: I don't think it really hurts them too bad. So yeah, 275 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 10: it's you know, good night for Seattle on Thursday. 276 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: Also mentioned in our show was something I thought that 277 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: was terrific, originally raised as far as a topic by 278 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: Alison Lucan on Twitter and X during the game the 279 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: other night. And this is our first conversation lengthier kind 280 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: since Todd Liwiki went to the podium to discuss the 281 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: move with Ron Francis moving on at the end of 282 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: this season. And there's the word that we've been talking about, audit, 283 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: and it's done here with a pretty transparent purpose from 284 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: what we've learned, to give fans a pretty clear course 285 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: of where this organization will go as far as direction. 286 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: But I thought something that was very important in what 287 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: she brought up, and this is where I separate fact 288 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: from fiction where Jason Botterrel is involved, and I think 289 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 2: this is where people have to really kind of give 290 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: their head to shake and understand what this is all 291 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: about when you do an audit. She mentioned that it 292 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: is performed by an outside entity. Jason Botterill the crack 293 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: and GM is stakeholder in this, and she mentioned this 294 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: as a former consultant. This is pretty much standard all 295 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: across the industry. So we're gonna find out more with 296 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 2: what happens and what course they'd taken about roughly three 297 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: four weeks, I thought Todd LEIWICKI opened the door to 298 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: really both extremes, if you will. But what was your 299 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: takeaway basically from the press conference here. 300 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 10: Today, Well, it's far of the audits concern. You know, 301 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 10: we live in a world of sound bites, and the 302 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 10: sound bite that was getting all the play is a 303 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 10: sound bite that was just that part of an answer, 304 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 10: part of you know, the context, and you know, I 305 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 10: know Todd kind of tried to clarify it later, but 306 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 10: the sound bite was we're filming an audit. This can 307 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 10: be overseen by Jason Bottom and you first hear that, 308 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 10: I just say, well, how can that be a quote 309 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 10: independent audit if it's overseen by the GM, you know, 310 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 10: And so I understand why fans were kind of like, what, like, 311 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 10: what's the definition of independent? I understand that again, we 312 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 10: live in a world of sound bites and you have 313 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 10: to understand the full context of everything. And then I 314 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 10: think he went clarified it. We had him on the 315 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 10: Krack and Auckey Network on Thursday and Alison asked him 316 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 10: about it. He was very clear and concise about how 317 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 10: it's going to operate, how you just described it and 318 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 10: laid it out, Mike, And so we move on. I 319 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 10: think the bigger question is what will come up? It 320 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 10: will will there be changes other than Ron Francis. You know, 321 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 10: are there other departments in the hockey operations world that 322 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 10: truly need to be looked at, changed sorted out? Do 323 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 10: they need to make moves in terms of who's doing what, 324 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 10: that's that's my who, the audit itself whatever. And I 325 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 10: you know, Alison lived in a far different world than 326 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 10: I ever lived in, and she was in that that 327 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 10: corporate world and understands that. So I'm going to lean 328 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 10: on her for that. But as far as I'm just considered, 329 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 10: what will the results bear? 330 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 9: What will we see when it's all said and done. 331 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 10: And and I'm not rooting for people to lose their jobs. 332 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 10: I'm not rooting for people to keep their jobs. What 333 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 10: I'm rooting for is I want to see the crack 334 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 10: can get better. So whatever it has to be that 335 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 10: they get it to become a better hockey team. And 336 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 10: I thought Mike Farrell in the scale times kind of 337 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 10: nailed it just to call him on Friday, like they've 338 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 10: done everything else right, Like they've done everything else right 339 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 10: in terms of the organization, except for the on ice 340 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 10: product has not been good enough. 341 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 9: Simple as that. And I'm not saying anything. 342 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 10: That Todd Lwicki hasn't set himself, So I. 343 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 9: Don't think i'm speaking at a turn. 344 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 10: And I think four years you've missed the playoffs out 345 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 10: of five years in existence. I think that speaks for itself. 346 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 10: So we'll see what it brings. Let's see what changes 347 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 10: it brings and what changes, frankly, are needed besides Ron 348 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 10: Francis departing at the end of the season. 349 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, because the Crack can also have a stable of 350 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: draft picks, as Todd Liwiki mentioned plenty in the first 351 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: and the second round, depending upon if they really really 352 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: want to go one direction of opening the door here 353 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: for the young players or the other direction with maybe 354 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: packaging this here for a big move that could be 355 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: happening for this offseason to overturn the roster, maybe even 356 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: give the Cracking as well an upgrade for their top line. 357 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 2: That's been a big part of the discussion most recently. 358 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: But where my mind goes back here with this is 359 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: two pieces and I think they both revolve around Berkeley 360 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: Catton and matt Evanier's from Thursday night. Berkeley Catton was 361 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: trusted in the shootout, scored the eventual winner right before 362 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: joy to Cord close the door on Pavel Dora Fayev. 363 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 2: The shootout can be a bit of a roll the dice, 364 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 2: but at times it is also a demonstration of skill, 365 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 2: and we are seeing more confidence in Berkeley Catton and 366 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: more confidence in Lane Lambert to dispatch him in key situations. 367 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: Then the Matty Banier's goal as well, He's scored in 368 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: the shootout with the kind of move that he pulled, 369 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: the confidence he pulled it off with, and the bring 370 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: your crowd out of your seat result. Told me again 371 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: he has taken the right kind of strides to the 372 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 2: player that he wants to be. I think to me, 373 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: in my opinion, to see on a Cup contender is 374 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: where this looks good and that's not a bad thing. 375 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: I brought this analogy up back on Vancouver' sports Talk 376 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: radio the other morning, and you go back and remember 377 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: the Dallas Stars. Mike McDonnell is a one. See Joe 378 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 2: Newendyke as a two C. The Joe new and Dyke 379 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: thing is not a bad thing here for Matty Beniers. 380 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: So if you want to aggressively overturn the roster and 381 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: put then Ears in that kind of spot, you're fine 382 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: if you want to open the door for him, Berkeley, 383 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: Catton down the road, jacob'brien, there are marriage to that too. 384 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: But I think a. 385 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: Great opportunity here, at least before games left, to give 386 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: younger players some extra track to work with heading into 387 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: the summer. 388 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 9: What about you, Yeah, I would agree. 389 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 10: I mean, Maddy gets enough ice time, so that's a 390 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 10: no brainer. Berkeley, I think here's gone on has got 391 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 10: you know, I think we'd all like to see Berkeley 392 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 10: on you know, more power play time as opposed to 393 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 10: sometimes on the second Union units sometimes it's not Uh 394 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 10: you know what is Oscar Fisker Bullgard's role in the 395 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 10: final four games? 396 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 9: Uh? 397 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 10: You know Malonson Winchardton's like that. I thought it was 398 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 10: telling on Thursday that Ellie told it was out of 399 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 10: the lineup as the healthy. 400 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 9: Scratch and the pending free agent. That was interesting. 401 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 10: I may tell you what the plans are or non playing. 402 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: That's number two now in the last week, by the way, 403 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: for a penning uf A. 404 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 10: Right, thanks, yeah, and now and now Ellie, I thought 405 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 10: I thought the Linger and Scratch that might have just 406 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 10: been more of a no that the work that Josh 407 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 10: Herris put in as opposed to an indictment on Ryan Lindrin. 408 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 10: But uh yeah, I thought I thought Eli B and 409 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 10: Scratch was was a was a telling sign. But you know, 410 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 10: there's only so much you could do in terms of 411 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 10: young players, right, Like you know you've got exit the 412 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 10: Rock's response, but I think you know Fisker, I mean 413 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 10: they've got two rookies of the roster and Captain Pistor Bulguard. 414 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 10: I guess Mlanston as well, Right, so both guys should play, 415 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 10: but you know there already are for the most part, 416 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 10: Leslies Burkley is the Berkeley things interesting like I got 417 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 10: a head scratcher when you see the movie made, like 418 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 10: why was he not taking a shootout in the steps earlier? 419 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 10: Like like that's he's your most skilled player. Doesn't mean 420 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 10: he's the best shootout player by any means, but that 421 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 10: movie put on was sick. And then you look at 422 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 10: the shootout record before last before Thursday, they were one 423 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 10: and six. Well, let's just flip that around. What if 424 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 10: you were what if you were maybe you know, four 425 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 10: to three in the shootouts and had three more wins 426 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 10: six more points, Well, that kind of puts you in 427 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 10: a different situation, right, Like, so the shootout is something 428 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 10: you need to worry about, and you have a skilled 429 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 10: guy like Berkeley getting it, which is cool to see. 430 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 10: But the end of the day, yeah, I think you're 431 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 10: already kind of playing a lot of your young guys anyway, 432 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 10: But I could see maybe, you know, seventy eight, maybe 433 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 10: give him more of a role offscar Bulgard a lot 434 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 10: and more of a role. And obviously Berkeley, I'd just 435 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 10: like to see him on more of power play as 436 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 10: opposed to sometimes on PP two and sometimes. 437 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 2: On Finally, before we get into this next game in 438 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 2: our prep here for the four pm faceoff Calgary coming in. 439 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 2: They're five three and two and ten games and they're 440 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 2: already out of this playoff mix. They're going to be 441 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 2: a lottery team Ian. But yet I think this most 442 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 2: recent run says they're playing loose and they're playing with fun, 443 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 2: like they can be the LITLD spoiler here, But yet 444 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: I think facing the flames the one thing I go 445 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: back to here is this, we don't know who might 446 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 2: be suiting up yet as of this recording and net 447 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 2: Joey decord under evaluation. 448 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: Lane Lambert said so the other day. 449 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 2: So there's a pretty good possibility the Kraken could be 450 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 2: without any of their three goaltenders who were on this 451 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 2: roster on opening night and even up to about roughly 452 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: a week ago, come on down. Potentially nick A Koco 453 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: the only guy who took reps as well in practice, 454 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 2: so should he be in I'm really curious about the 455 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: game plan to play around him. Lane Lambert mentioned how 456 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 2: much he kind of, you know, was giving an extra 457 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: look to him as well and practice just in case 458 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: this happens here. But I think for me, depending upon 459 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: a jere McCann gets back in maintenance day for him, 460 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 2: what I'm looking for for period one is energy. 461 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: What's your biggest key here for this team out of 462 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: the game. 463 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 10: I think, well, Lane's always talked about consistency, So part 464 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 10: of that consistency would he consistent in the game that 465 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 10: you bring gaming game out? Can you bring third period 466 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 10: Thursday that the first period on Saturday, whether it be 467 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 10: you know, from an energy level or what have you. 468 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 10: I think the Goldking situation the games' seeings. We watched 469 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 10: when Joey went down and you know it was intended 470 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 10: to by the training staff. And then there's a time 471 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 10: out about a minute and a half later and he's 472 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 10: at the bench. He's talked to another medical team member 473 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 10: and you know, kind of stretching out the rest of 474 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 10: the game. He fine, but he didn't look a couple 475 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 10: of times like he was laboring a little bit to 476 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 10: get up. And you know, let's be honest, Like, you know, 477 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 10: you guys, you trust the medical people that are the experts. 478 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 10: And if if you can't do any further damage and 479 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 10: he can play through whatever, then he plays probably, But 480 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 10: if not, you're not playing for any like you don't 481 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 10: need to have. 482 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 9: Him get injured more. 483 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 10: Uh, you know, we don't know Groovy status and Matt 484 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 10: Murray's personal status. So like I honestly, at this point, 485 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 10: I'd like to see Coco play for Seattle. 486 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 9: I'd like to see him throwing it there. 487 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 10: What the hell?

You know, we had to shut out what 490 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 10: a week and a half ago in the HL played 491 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 10: well there this year. 492 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 9: Go see what this kid can do. 493 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: And this is why we're all about telling a good story. 494 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,239 Speaker 2: This could be a good story as well.
