1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: All right, Crack and getting set here for a while

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: back now with Crack and head coach Lane Lambert and

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: Lane just touching back here on Tuesday. One effect we

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: saw in that seven goal outburst the power play they

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: went three or four and they're continuing to produce right now.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: So what kind of work have Chris Taylor and the

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: two units been doing to get this far now?

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: Well, I think it starts with, you know, just the

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: structure and the understanding. Certainly pre scouts are important to

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: know exactly what the other team's doing on the penalty kill.

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: I think he's done an outstanding job of providing the

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: players with the knowledge they need heading into the games.

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: And what he's done a really good job of, in

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: my opinion, is he lets the players use their instincts.

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: These are guys that are on the power play for

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: a reason, and you know, if you become too robotic,

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: that's when things start to slow down. So there's a

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: structure there, there's a plan, and then the players are

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: going out and executing the plan. So it's worked out

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: pretty well so far.

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: One of the players has scored those goals, Berkeley Cat.

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: He'd gotten not just one but two, and it was

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: a thing of beauty back in period three, and he

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: said that first goal was a big weight off his shoulders,

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: and perhaps maybe it was a long time coming for him.

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: But what can you take away about that night as

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: far as the kind of game that he wants to

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: bring here a game after.

29
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: Game, Well, he's just been working and doing the right things.

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: And I've talked all year long about him getting better

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: in certain areas that he needs to improve, you know,

32
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: and defensively or whatever you have. You know, he wants

33
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: the puck, He's not afraid to make plays. He through

34
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: this stretch hasn't lost confidence at least not to the

35
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, not to the eye. Maybe inside he was

36
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: a little fight in it, but certainly this goal for

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: him and then the second one will be a weight

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: off his shoulders, and we look forward to seeing him

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: continue from there.

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: At the halfway point of the season, we talk about

41
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: what matters mean most as far as getting in the

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: playoff door, and it's still very much a fluid picture

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: as far as this entire Western Conference. But what are

44
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: you see just from the core values principles as far

45
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: as accountability, discipline, structure that have really you know, helped

46
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: this team pick itself up, as compared to the saying,

47
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: you know the first you know, three months ago when

48
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: they were just learning here about this whole thing.

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's been a process, you know, it will

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: continue to be a process. I mean, we had a

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: meeting this morning and giving some reminders and some of

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: the things that we learned rate from day one, because

53
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: we don't feel like maybe we're quite as good in

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: that area in the last couple of games as we

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: had been, and potentially we've been outscoring our problems and

56
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: that's not a formula for success. So we love to

57
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: continue scoring. We've got to make sure that we take

58
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: care of our own zone. But certainly, I think you know,

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: right now, each and every individual knows, exceptable what's expected

60
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: of them, and now it's just about them taking ownership

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: of that and accountability to each other to get that

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: job done.

63
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: We have talked a lot about Matt eveniers in the

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: recent weeks and the points are certainly coming, especially ever

65
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: since around Christmas time here. But of course, this game

66
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: we all know, it's basically it's I'm going to give

67
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: you a full two hundred feet each here, But where

68
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: have you seen the biggest growth from him this season.

69
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 2: I think, you know what, I think there's been a

70
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: growth in every area, to be honest, and his defensive

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: game has improved. His his you know, understanding of where

72
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: to be. He's quick on pucks defensively. But one thing

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: I would say for me anyway, and I think that

74
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor and Justin Ry have done a great job

75
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: with him from an offensive standpoint through the neutral zone

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: on the rush. He has a direct and clear understanding

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: now of who to attack to put not only himself

78
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: in a better position on the rush, but also his teammates.

79
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: So there's been some real improvement there from my standpoint,

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: when he gets the puck, say inside our blue line,

81
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: and transports it through to the other teams far and

82
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: or the other team's blue line, and the decisions that

83
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: he's making in those situations I think have been outstanding.

84
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: How different does this wild team look now with Quinn

85
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: he was on the back and what do you make

86
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: out of what they can bring here for tonight?

87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: Well, they're the same hockey team that they've got an

88
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: extremely dynamic defenseman who's one of the top five defensemen

89
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: in the world. So you know, I mean their expected

90
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: goals has gone from nineteenth to fifth now since he's

91
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: been there, he creates and certainly generates. We're gonna have

92
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: to obviously pay special attention to him. I don't think

93
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: you can completely stop this guy in terms of him

94
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: getting opportunities. We just have to try and limit those,

95
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: and try and limit the percentages of the opportunities that

96
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: he creates.
