Happy 91 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 7: to see a win last night the first time ever 92 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 7: in the opener. So there we go. 93 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: I mean, when you think about how big a win 94 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 4: can be to set the tone for a regular season 95 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 4: in your home opener, it's big just for the fact 96 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: that it does what you just said, set the tone, 97 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: but in the scope of this team in your five 98 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 4: to get'll win on opening night for the first time 99 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 4: in franchise history, and to do it under the conditions 100 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: of new players and a new head coach as well. 101 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: How big was that win? 102 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 7: Well, I think there was. It was impactful for a 103 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 7: lot of different reasons. You know. The obvious thing is 104 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 7: the schedule on how it sets up early in the season. 105 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 7: You know, Vegas, which is most everyone's pick to be 106 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 7: you know, at least a conference finalist this year, rolling 107 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 7: in for game number two at home and then a 108 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 7: six game road trip which is anything but easy. Uh, 109 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 7: and then you come home in your next home games 110 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 7: against McDavid and Drive finalists. But you know, it's just 111 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 7: a really daunting early schedule. Not that there's really gimmes 112 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 7: in the NHL. I don't think there really are at me, 113 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 7: you know, even San Jose press Vegas on Thursday. So 114 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 7: but I think it was big for the obvious reasons 115 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 7: of the early schedule, to try to get off to 116 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 7: a good start. It's something that they've struggled with the 117 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 7: last few years. I think it was also big in 118 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 7: terms of the fans and you know, you know, approve 119 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 7: it type of game. You know, third coach in three years, 120 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 7: Layne Lambert comes in and boy, the first twenty minutes 121 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 7: did not look good. It was, you know, the rumblings 122 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 7: in the stands and I'm sure you like me getting 123 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 7: text messages from friends and fans and going what's going 124 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 7: on here? And uh. And then they turned it around 125 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 7: and kind of got their sea legs in a way 126 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 7: they went so but I think it was impactful, big, 127 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 7: what have you. You know, Vegas obviously has a new 128 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 7: challenge on Saturday, but it was a big win for sure. 129 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 4: So then given the first period last night, and acknowledge 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 4: the fact that the Kraken won't just need won a 131 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 4: goldtending to be big, but also backup goltending. Given the 132 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: crunch of the schedule, how do you measure the impact 133 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: of Joey decor last night, Ian Joey. 134 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 7: Won the game for you. I mean, there is no 135 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 7: other way to look at it. He won the game 136 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 7: for you. They you know, Vegas or Vega Sorry, Anaheim 137 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 7: was on pace for well over one hundred shot attempts 138 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 7: after twenty minutes. And the fact that you get out 139 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 7: of that first trade tied at once. 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: It looked like the Carolina Hurricanes. 141 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 7: It just was crazy. And you know, and you know, 142 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 7: he ended up being what two goals saved above expected 143 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 7: for the game, and it's sure as hell felt like 144 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 7: more than that. He he just was on his game. 145 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 7: And you know, his athleticism was on display. You know, 146 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 7: we did a thing on the track and Hockey Network 147 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 7: Piper went back and did a story with him back 148 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 7: home working out with his dad and his dad's goalie school, 149 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 7: and you know how he plays tennis every day and 150 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 7: all these different things. You're watching his daily regime, you know, 151 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 7: the routine, and it was just remarkable and you know, 152 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 7: it paid off. I mean, he had to be in 153 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 7: tip top shape, top of his game athletically and just 154 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 7: in terms of positional play, and he was all that 155 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 7: and then some. So you know, he was great. He 156 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 7: was really really good and kept them in it and 157 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 7: gave them a chance. You know that we can get 158 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 7: into why the slow start, But I thought, you know, 159 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 7: without Joey the court and his heroics, they don't win that. 160 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 7: They don't win that Hogey game. I mean, it could 161 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 7: have been over after one period. It could have been 162 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 7: a four to one game after one. 163 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: I mean, when we go and examine the goaltenders around 164 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 4: this league as far as who's at the top of 165 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: the top, and you've got Vassilevski up there, You've got 166 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 4: Connor Hellibuck up there, You've got Igor. 167 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Shastrict up there. 168 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: Joey still got a lot more to work for to 169 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: work himself into that upper echelon. But there's always one 170 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 4: thing that we've understood about Joey to court is that 171 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: nobody is going to outwork him. It's been his mo 172 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 4: since he came out of Arizona State, and now you're 173 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: starting to see this big work payoff as you mentioned, 174 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 4: and put the crack on really in good position and 175 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: they can get this kind of goaltending out of him. 176 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: For a majority of this season, They're going to be 177 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 4: in really, really, really good shape. Speaking of work ethic. 178 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 4: I want to give some props here ian to Ryan Winterton, 179 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 4: who played on the line with Chandler Stevens in a 180 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 4: Mason Marchman. He did not score, but he had one 181 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: takeaway and had five hits. It felt like that he 182 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 4: hit nearly everything that move. He nearly had the KO 183 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 4: blow as well Thursday night in game one. What did 184 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 4: that game tell us maybe about his role and his 185 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: fit on this team. 186 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 7: Well, to me, it shows that he's got a role 187 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 7: and I mean obvious statement, but I mean there's gonna 188 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 7: be some competition when Copo Coco comes back, and you know, 189 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 7: are you going to keep two extra forwards? I don't 190 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 7: know now. Injuries happened, so we're a long ways. You know, 191 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 7: we're ways away from that decision, and Coppo Coco's gonna 192 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 7: slot into a top six roll, I would assume, or 193 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 7: maybe into that role that Ryan has. Maybe winter and 194 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 7: moves down to the third the fourth line. You know 195 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 7: what what jumped out of me a couple of times 196 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 7: was his responsibility and his his backchecking, Like I mean, yes, 197 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,599 Speaker 7: he was hitting guys, blocking shot and doing everything, but 198 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 7: just his the little things like on the back check, 199 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 7: those takeaways. Uh, really really impressive for a young guy. Listen, 200 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 7: He's not going to be a thirty goals score or 201 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 7: even a twenty five goals score or anything like that 202 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 7: probably in this league. But there's a role for a 203 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 7: Ryan Winterton on this team. There's no doubt there's a 204 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 7: role for him. And and you know, play within yourself, 205 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 7: know what your role is, play your game. And he 206 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 7: did all of those things last night. I was just 207 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 7: a really impressive night for him and cool to see, 208 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 7: you know, like you know, a draft another draft pick 209 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 7: that makes it under the roster. I know there's there's 210 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 7: still the consternation here because you know they don't have 211 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 7: a quote unquote high end you know, aircraft carrier talent. 212 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 7: You know, Maddy hasn't been that yet. Although Maddy had 213 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 7: a great play on the on the goal that kind 214 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 7: of put it away last night. But and Maddy was 215 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 7: so responsible, was on end. You know that doesn't get 216 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 7: people excited though, But but yeah, seeing Ryan Winard and 217 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 7: winter didn't do his thing was really fun last night. 218 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 7: You know, you like seeing it was a great story. 219 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 7: You know, go out there and prove yourself in a 220 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 7: way he did last night. He showed I thought what 221 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 7: he did last night plat he just scored two goals 222 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 7: in a preseason game against the half of a lineup 223 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 7: like he did in that last game in the preseason. 224 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 7: It's nothing to go there and opening night against the 225 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 7: quality opponents that's got a lot of skill, a lot 226 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 7: of skill, and to look out and go out there 227 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 7: and fit right in not look out of place at all. 228 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 7: And he didn't look out of place. In fact, he 229 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 7: looked very much like a guy who impacted the game. 230 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 4: That's an Anaheim team that is on the rise, and 231 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: some are saying could be in the playoff mix here 232 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: for this year, as they've got a lot of young 233 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 4: kids all set to pop and a coach behind the 234 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: bench has also won three Stanley Cups in Joel Quinnville, 235 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 4: I do want to get to the Matty Banier's line. 236 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 4: I love that you brought him up and Jared mccannon 237 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: his left wing, Jordan Everley on his right wing. For 238 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 4: this team collectively, it took a while for them to 239 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: finally get it going. But in period three, as close 240 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 4: as you get to a knockout blow type of goal, 241 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 4: Veniers feeding McCann at the front of the net. I 242 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 4: look at Maddy here from this way A good start 243 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 4: being that he made an impact on the score sheet, 244 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 4: but if you could also get defense out of him 245 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 4: like a guy that he wants to pattern his game 246 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: after and who he watched in Boston and patrise bergeron 247 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 4: that's going a long long way, I think for what 248 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 4: you're getting out of Matty Beniers's kind of game. So 249 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 4: as this game progressed, what did this like? Maybe tell 250 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 4: us as far as what to expect. 251 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 7: Well, one, Jeordan Everley missing forty games last season was 252 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 7: really really really hurt this team, you know. And when 253 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 7: you look back and say, well, they missed the playoffs 254 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 7: by twenty points, I mean, you know there's a lot 255 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 7: of different metrics out there, but what would Jordan neverly 256 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 7: have been worth last year's point wise? Ye? 257 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: Right? 258 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 7: I mean it's it is it five and it's something 259 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 7: It's something more than zero, that's for sure. And when 260 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 7: he you know, ever we play on that goal was 261 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 7: you know, a thing of beauty like he plays it 262 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 7: into the corner where no one can get it except 263 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 7: for Maddie finds the empty space perfectly time, perfectly placed. Maddie, 264 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 7: working hard, gets there and sees McCann. What was he 265 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 7: doing driving the front of the net, which is a 266 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 7: major emphasis for this team in Laneland. And he finishes 267 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 7: off and the game you know, game over. Thanks thanks 268 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 7: for coming right, So just a great play all the 269 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 7: way around. You know, Maddi's in, he's kind of an enigma. 270 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 7: It's you're you're draft in that position people and have 271 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 7: the rookie yar you have and people would expect up, 272 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 7: you know, an upward climb in terms of stats every year. 273 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 7: That obviously hasn't happened. 274 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 4: But a good start for him in game one and 275 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 4: for the crack inside not the start they wanted for 276 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 4: period one, but they really found their legs, so to speak, 277 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: in period three. 278 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 7: Ian There's so much going on. There's so many like 279 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 7: with the blue carpet yesterday that was fun, you know, 280 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 7: the pregame festivities and introducing every player, and Brett mentioned it, 281 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 7: he said, hey, you know, like like if you're the 282 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 7: visiting team, you're in your locker room. You're just need 283 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 7: your routine and they tell you when to come out, 284 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 7: you come out, and it's a regular games. So the Kraken, 285 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 7: you're out of your routine. Everything is different, and I 286 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 7: think that's why we saw that first twenty minutes of 287 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 7: the slow start, and that's why they needed Joey to 288 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,599 Speaker 7: be great. You get back to that, you go to 289 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 7: the locker room, you start your routine away, you go. 290 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 7: You don't have to worry about walking through and sign 291 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 7: an autograph. And it was great, but not to say 292 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 7: that's awesome for opening day. But there's just this Tractions 293 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 7: opening day, and we know hockey players are creatures of habit, 294 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 7: they just are. And they survived the twenty minutes. And 295 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 7: I think the most encouraging thing Mikey is that at 296 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 7: the end they get to the twenty minutes, we're tied 297 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 7: at one. The shots are off the charts in favor 298 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 7: of Anaheim. Seattle was just pinning its own end the 299 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 7: whole time. The structure was sideways. You're like, what the 300 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 7: hell I thought? This whole new coaching staff that's coming 301 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 7: in here with new structure and they're going to do this, 302 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 7: and they got in there. We had been done on Pipertop. 303 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 7: To him after the first posision, he's just like, we're 304 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 7: better than that. We're not doing what we're supposed to do, 305 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 7: but we can get there and all those things and 306 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 7: it was just kind of like, like, never was an 307 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 7: intermission needed more than after the first twenty last night, 308 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 7: and look what happened. They flipped the script, they turned 309 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 7: it around, and they were the better team the final 310 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 7: forty minutes. 311 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 4: See, I think when you put coaching in the mix, 312 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 4: when you put a rinded out style in the mix, 313 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 4: when you get great goaltending as well, Listen, you don't 314 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 4: need six or seven goals to wow a crowd each 315 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 4: and every night, you know, I mean to me, was 316 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 4: very apparent when I walked down from the set or 317 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 4: to the set on my end from the press box 318 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 4: before the end of the second. 319 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: Period, the crack at about roughly fifty. 320 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: Seconds of time of the offensive zone and they were 321 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 4: a puck possession magnet. And after that you had a 322 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 4: big roar out of this crowd for the effort. And 323 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 4: yet they didn't score. 324 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: But it was the effort. 325 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: And I thought, if you can produce that on a 326 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 4: consistent basis, no matter where you're at in the standings, 327 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 4: how many folks around here are going to be signing 328 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 4: up for that all season long? 329 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 7: And beyond well, Mike, look at look at a couple 330 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: of things that switched in this game. I mean you 331 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 7: talked about it earlier, Like certainly Joey kept a minute. 332 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 7: And that's what makes what makes things like the list 333 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 7: of the athletics just put out about who the best 334 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 7: goalies are in the league and all that stuff, right, 335 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 7: like you know, and I think Joey was ranked in 336 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 7: the twenties somewhere, and like you just first, you just 337 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 7: not watch the games if you're saying that, Like if 338 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 7: you say he's not a top ten goaltender in this league, 339 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 7: you're just not watching the games. You're just it's like 340 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 7: voting in the at College Football poll. You're voting on 341 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 7: a brand name. You're not voting on anything else besides 342 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 7: the name recognition. That's all. 343 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: You're just looking at the stat sheet. That's all it is. 344 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 7: That's all. You're just lazy. And because he's not that 345 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 7: he's better than that. But you know who needs training camp, 346 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 7: Brandon on tour, you know, because I think that was 347 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 7: the play to change the game, right, like win a 348 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 7: battle the defensive zone and then and then just decide 349 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 7: to will your way down the wall. And oh, by 350 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 7: the way, hey, new guy Mason Marchman going driving in 351 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 7: front of the net and where does he score all 352 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 7: his goals? Mikey right there in front of the net, 353 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 7: And that was a great finish by him. Gave you 354 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 7: a two to one lead, and that's when the game flipped. 355 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 7: That is when the game flipped right there. And I 356 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 7: think if you're Anaheim, you had to be really deflated 357 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 7: at that point, going await a second. We just dominated 358 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 7: this damn game, so like we should be up and 359 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 7: now all of a sudden we're down two to one 360 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 7: and we can't solve thirty five. It was just a 361 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 7: you know, it's and I think I think Al said, 362 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 7: I was listening to your post game shown away Home 363 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 7: last night. I think Al said the best, you know, 364 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 7: he said, Hey, you're going to write a script. That's 365 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 7: kind of how you want to do it. Slow, start, strong, finish, 366 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 7: get people fired up, and away you go and they 367 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 7: go home happy. And that's what we have last night. 368 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 7: Like I said, it's big. The road ahead is really tough, 369 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 7: like really really tough. But I think there's enough good 370 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 7: signs in there to give you some hope that this 371 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 7: is a this is and will be a better hockey 372 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 7: team than people are giving it credit for. 373 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 4: Anaheim mass shot the Crack in seventeen to five. You 374 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 4: make him believe and then you hit them with the 375 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 4: weird Al Yankovic track everything you know is wrong and 376 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 4: the script just left right from there. Yeah, I dropped 377 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 4: a weird Al reference here for the first time on 378 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 4: Cracking this morning. Look at ahead here to Vegas coming 379 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 4: up tonight. Oh, that's going to be a challenge. And 380 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 4: based on the numbers from Thursday night the hit category, 381 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 4: the Crack had out hit Anaheim Pause for dramatic effect. 382 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: Forty eight to thirty six. 383 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 4: Goodness, will they ever need that against Vegas, who won 384 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: the Mitch Marners sweepstakes. They are one of the heaviest 385 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 4: teams in the NHL, but they are right now tied 386 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 4: for the second oldest in age in the NHL, coming 387 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 4: off an overtime win over the San Jose Sharks. 388 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: The Crack and better be ready here to play the body. 389 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 7: Ian Yeah, and also getting shooting lanes. You know, Joey 390 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 7: said on the bench last night after the Three Stars, 391 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 7: he says to fight from the on the bench for 392 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 7: the crowd, and everybody says, you know, I don't know 393 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 7: how many shots we blocked. I can tell you it 394 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 7: was twenty seven, that's a lot. So if you're doing 395 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 7: that against Anaheim, and let's let's also just point out 396 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 7: you you mentioned earlier Anaheim is a good hockey team, 397 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 7: that's a field hockey team. Yeah, they're not going to 398 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 7: be held to one goal a lot this year. And 399 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 7: for you know, and then the one goal was kind 400 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 7: of a great want to front by the kid by Seneca. 401 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 7: So I mean it's that's a that's a hell of 402 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 7: an effort by Seattle defensively, not just the hit takeaways, 403 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 7: the block shots and then elite goaltending by Joey.
