1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Lane, you managed to salvage a point in 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Florida after a less than ideal start, you finished the 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: game strong in the third period. Just take us back 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: through probably one of the wilder games in recent memory 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: back in Florida. 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought our guys did a really good job 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: of sticking with it and finding a way to you know, 8 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: get a point. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the second one. 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: You know, we had some chances, obviously, and you know, 10 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: after we tied it up at four, I really had 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: a really good chance to make it five right away. 12 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: But you know, looking bleak at four one, you know, 13 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: with less than ten minutes left in the game, to 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: come back and get ourselves, you know, a point was 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: a huge, huge situation for us. You know, I didn't 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: think the game was played poorly. I think we're making 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: you know, made a couple of mistakes and they ended 18 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: up in the back of Burnett, and I think, you know, 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: I think there's a couple that probably Joey would like 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: back as well. 21 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: What was the turning point in your mind for the 22 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: Krakens performance in the last twenty minutes eighteen minutes of 23 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: that game compared to the first two periods. 24 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 2: Well, I thought we you know, I thought, like I said, 25 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: I didn't think the first two periods were that bad. 26 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: I thought we had a really good second period. I 27 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: thought we had a number of opportunities to score, and 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: you know, we've got to we've got to put the 29 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: puck in the net. Our team and any team feeds 30 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: off of, you know, the lead or putting putting pucks in. 31 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: We had plenty of good scoring chances to do that. 32 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: You know, I think once we got that second goal, 33 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: I got a little bit of life. You know, that 34 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: helped us for sure. 35 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: Oscar Fisker Mulgard called up from Coachella Valley. We've seen 36 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: him a couple of games this year, earlier in the season. 37 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: What are you looking for out of him and what 38 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: in your mind necessitated that call up for him? 39 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: Responsible forward, you know that plays both ends of the puck, 40 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: both ends of the rink. You know, we we tried 41 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: some things early on in the trip didn't really work out. So, 42 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: you know, Oscar is a little bit more of a 43 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: i'd say steady player who's played at a high level, 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: and we'll give him a opportunity. He's played well when 45 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: he's came up here. His lice time has been limited 46 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: when he's been here, but his ice time will increase now. 47 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: When you look at the situations of games with a 48 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: player like Oscar Fisker Mulgard who you know, what he 49 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: can bring to the table. Are there ever any chances 50 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: of you trying to get him more ice time, maybe 51 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: try to shorten your bench a little bit, or do 52 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: you typically just go situations on the ice And in 53 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: terms of that way, well, like. 54 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: I said, we'll see, you know, he's you can expect 55 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: to play more than the six minutes that he played 56 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: in LA just before Christmas, So you know, we'll mix 57 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: him in with different situations. And you know, we've been 58 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: running with four penalty killers here for a while without Schwartz, Winterton, 59 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: you know, and so and even Tolvenen when he was hurt. 60 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: So we have to, you know, have to mix him 61 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: in that in that role as well to conserve some 62 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: energy for some of our forwards. 63 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: You lost the table back at home before this road trip. 64 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Nikita Kucherov showing why he is one of the best 65 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: players in the world. How do you go about slowing 66 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: him down tonight and what lessons do you need to 67 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: take from that six to two loss back at home. 68 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know we talked about our mistakes were catastrophic. 69 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: We made individual errors and turnovers. So we can't turn 70 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 2: the puck over. Obviously, we have to manage the puck 71 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: a lot better. I didn't think the game was you know, 72 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: necessarily six too. It was the turnovers that we gave them, 73 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: and like I said before, they had some tick tac 74 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: toe goals. So we have to cut down those mistakes 75 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: as best we possibly can. We've got to understand that, 76 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: you know, this game is about gaining territory, and if 77 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: we can get in on the four check and play 78 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: in their zone, we're gonna have a lot more success 79 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: than if we don't. And I thought we did a 80 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: much better job of that in Florida last game. You know, 81 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: we had a lot more zone time. We had more 82 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: zone time than Florida did, which you know, obviously it 83 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: cuts down our defensive zone time and gives us more 84 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: of an opportunity to play offense. So we have to 85 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: try and do that. Tonight focuses on that, and clearly 86 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: you have to make sure that you know where Kutrof 87 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: is at all times. 88 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: With that in mind, how important is a good start 89 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: tonight for the cracking well. 90 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: We need a great start, you know. It goes without saying. 91 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: Our starts haven't been good enough overall, so it's crunch 92 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: time again. 93 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: You know. 94 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: We have to make sure we have a good start.
