The 25 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: Cracking getting their power play going once again one for 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,279 Speaker 3: four on the night or the Crack on the power 27 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 3: play was not enough for Seattle, who still have struggled. 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: To find the offense. 29 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: I guess a saving Grayson that game partner Kraken out 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: shooting Buffalo by. 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: A twenty four to twenty three margin. 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: Now four power play goals or five power play goals 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: in their last four games, however, not enough for Seattle. 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, the bottom line is you lost the game, but 35 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 4: that the Cracking were in it again. It was a 36 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 4: tight game. They were two for two on their penalty killed. 37 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 4: They did get that power play goal as you mentioned, 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 4: so special teams were checkmark. As far as I'm concerned, 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 4: it was the even strength that hurt the crackend. The 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 4: other night in that loss, Channel Stevens had an excellent 41 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: game and Seattle actually had eleven high danger chances, they 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,639 Speaker 4: were just not able to finish them at even strength, 43 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 4: and that was the difference. 44 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: You'll listen to a number of players after that game 45 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 3: against Buffalo and overall the last handful of games, cracking 46 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 3: now one seven and one in their last nine, you 47 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: can really sense the frustration that this team is so close. 48 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: They're not getting blown out every night there every The 49 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 3: effort is there, the identity is there, but the results 50 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 3: have not matched that effort. And going up against a 51 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: team here tonight in the Colorado Avalanche, you're going to 52 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: need every bit of that effort here again, you absolutely are. 53 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: And if we've heard Lame Lambert talk about playing a 54 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 4: perfect game, and I'm okay with striving for that perfect game, 55 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: because you know you're gonna have to play as close 56 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: to a perfect game you can here to give yourself 57 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 4: a shot at winning. 58 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 5: But it's gonna start at your own end. 59 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 4: You've got to have the defensive structure that he is 60 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 4: inserted into this into this team. 61 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 5: You've got to have good goaltending. You've got to have 62 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 5: good putt clears. 63 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: You start to limiting those odd man rushes for Colorado, 64 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: you limit their goals against it. If you can keep 65 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 4: this game to three or less goals against, it puts 66 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: you in a position to win it. 67 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: And on the other side of the red line. 68 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: Speaking of the Colorado Avalanche, they are on a historic 69 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: pace twenty three to two and seven fifty three points, 70 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: first in the NHL overall, Nathan McKinnon first to fifty 71 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: fifty five points in just thirty two games. 72 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 5: The Avs lead the. 73 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: NHL in just about every statistical category. The only area 74 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: where they have struggled this season has been on the 75 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 3: power play. 76 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: They are twenty eighth in the NHL on. 77 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: The power play, but first and goals for first, and 78 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: goals against first in PK. This is a team that 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: so far this season has allowed four or more goals 80 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: just eight times all year. 81 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, and only that too. But they're high at plus minus. 82 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: Nathan McKinnon himself as a plus forty, And you think, well, 83 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 4: you know, does that mean his defensive game is fantastic 84 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: in addition to his offensive game. No, what it could 85 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: mean he's out there for goals against, but he's out 86 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: there for a. 87 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 5: Lot more goals for. And I think that's moore of 88 00:03:59,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: the case. 89 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: If you're a player that's got twenty six and twenty 90 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: nine through thirty two games. You're gonna eat a couple 91 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: of goals, but you know what you're good far outweighs 92 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: you're bad. 93 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: Mike Benson on the Course Night Landing Section twenty. 94 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: He's standing by with more of your pregame show served 95 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: up by Frost Brewed Course Light on the Global. 96 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: Credit Union Crack an audio network. 97 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 6: When the punk drops, every move matters, and the same 98 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 6: goes for your Money and Mechanics Bank.

Taylor Stevens said on the power 176 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: play has put the cracket. 177 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 5: On the board. 178 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: They trim that deficit in half two one seven thirty 179 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: six to play. 180 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 5: In the second well Matty Pinier's with a faced off win. 181 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 4: Jordaniblei taps it back defense to the point done down 182 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 4: to Stevenson with a se ice shot from the left side, 183 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 4: short side on Alex Lyon two to one. 184 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 6: Perhaps an indication special teams are finding daylight. That Stevenson 185 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,599 Speaker 6: goal gave him points now in five straight games, but 186 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 6: it was the only source of offense for the entire day. 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 6: On the Kranken side they filled three to one to 188 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 6: Buffalo is Alex Lyon at twenty three saves in that 189 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 6: opposite side, Joey to coord tofending for him despite his 190 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 6: efforts with twenty saves on twenty two shots. But about 191 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 6: the special teams the power play, they now scored a 192 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 6: goal by the way for the fourth time last six games, 193 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 6: going seven of twenty two in that span, and the 194 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 6: penalty kill for good measure, killing off both sabers power 195 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 6: play chances, and they have now killed off ten of 196 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 6: the last twelve opposition opportunities. But of course the offense 197 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 6: we talked about this still searching for solutions. It was 198 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 6: eight time this year the Kracking were held to a 199 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 6: goal or less and now they're trying to break out 200 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 6: of a slide of just one win in the past 201 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 6: nine games. So for this evening it's about locking in 202 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 6: for what's worked so far, because defensively the Krakens still 203 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 6: continue to be dialed in for the most part. They 204 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 6: moved up to twelfth in the NHL and fewer shots 205 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 6: allowed at twenty seven. The penalty kill, as we said, 206 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 6: they change their structure. Lane Lambert has more on that later. 207 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 6: Plus goaltending still very strong for best right now in 208 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 6: the NHL five on five team save percentage that's at 209 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 6: nine to two five. Of course, the penalty killed maybe 210 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 6: drops a bit overall for the entire season, but for 211 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 6: the Kracking, when you can stay out of the box, 212 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 6: goaltending certainly has been there a ton this year. For 213 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 6: as far as offense is concerned, the road remains tough. 214 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 6: So for the kracking, how much can they dig deep 215 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 6: right now? Two point four goals a game they're trying 216 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 6: to raise that is right now in the NHL's basement, 217 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 6: And when you factor in Jared mccannon Jayden Schwartz out 218 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 6: of the lineup, it is tough right now because the 219 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 6: two combining for thirteen goals mccam by the way, five 220 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 6: goals in eleven games, which accounts right now for those 221 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 6: two seventeen percent of the entire goal scoring in the 222 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 6: Craken lineup. So the reinforced message for the kracking is 223 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 6: where they're trying to hunt for offense in location. They'll 224 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 6: also potentially get a boost here with Mason Marshmen back 225 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 6: in practice the other day looking like he could begin 226 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 6: here for tonight. He had two goals against Utah in 227 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 6: his previous game and was out due to illness on Sunday. 228 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 6: That here brings us into our conversation with Brandon Montor 229 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 6: about how the Crack and react from Sunday's game, where 230 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 6: energy and emotion were certainly a part of the conversation 231 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 6: and in practice, Montors said that moving on begins with 232 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 6: the right mindset. 233 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think again it's it's you know, 234 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 10: going the wrong way right now, it's you know, things 235 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 10: that we don't like. We're obviously losing games. I just 236 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 10: thinking in the nature of just for forgetting about the 237 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 10: past and working kind of towards you know, what we've 238 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 10: done well and try to get that as quick as 239 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 10: you can. 240 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 6: When you're a team trying to figure out the smooth 241 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 6: pat back offensively, how do you figure the small stuff 242 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 6: when it comes to you know, screens, rebounds, other things 243 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 6: that are making the biggest key and the biggest difference 244 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 6: as far as offense. 245 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think we're a team that's not 246 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 10: gonna you know, score those you know, individual like nice, 247 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 10: nice goals. I think we obviously struggle to score goals, 248 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 10: so we got to get in those dirty areas. We're 249 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 10: not doing that nearly enough. And I think obviously this 250 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 10: this season we haven't scored enough, which you know, you 251 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 10: need that to score, you know, you need to to 252 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 10: win the games, and we struggle in that category. But 253 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 10: I think you know, we got players in this you 254 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 10: know locker room that can score goals, can shoot the puck, 255 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 10: and we just got to find ways to you know, 256 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 10: be more desperate, you know, neft front, like you said, 257 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,599 Speaker 10: getting screens, getting dirty goals. I think, you know, we 258 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 10: might have a lot of you know, I'm talking to 259 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 10: some of the coaches B and C chances, but we 260 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 10: don't have a lot of A chances and when you 261 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 10: obviously need to get more of those. 262 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 6: The power play getting a goal the other night. It 263 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 6: seems like matters are gradually turning a corner here for 264 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,119 Speaker 6: the units. What's working more when it comes to shop volume. 265 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 10: Just being aggressive. I think you know again, you know what, 266 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 10: it doesn't go the right way or slow, not necessarily 267 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 10: processing it. You're trying to make the right play, the 268 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 10: cute plays sometimes you know, shoot shooting more. 269 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 5: Mentality is better, And yeah, that's that's That's what I 270 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 5: could say about. 271 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 6: That practice on Monday. How'd you feel about it? And 272 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 6: what's getting this team geared from the right direction again? 273 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 10: Try to again forget about you know, obviously you gotta 274 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 10: work towards what we've been you know, lacking, but you 275 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 10: gotta keep the mentality of just kind of another game. 276 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 10: We got another tough opponent. It's not supposed to be easy, 277 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 10: so you guys should be excited about tonight. 278 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 6: What's the biggest key with hand when the schedule right now, 279 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 6: being that you're playing so many games and just so 280 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: little time. 281 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 5: Before the holiday break. 282 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 10: Yeah, recover, you know obviously, when you you have bumps 283 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 10: and bruises, you gotta you know, maintain them. But again, 284 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 10: just stay mentally physically, you know, within the game, and 285 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 10: you know, be ready ago just because there's so many games, 286 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 10: like you said, and you gotta be ready. 287 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 6: The team coming up on the other side of the 288 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 6: ice is quite the challenge in Colorado. It seems like 289 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 6: as a lot going for him. But you know it's 290 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 6: not the first time that you know, you and these 291 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 6: other guys have faced a team rolling like they are. 292 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 6: So what's the difference in how you defend, first off, 293 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 6: a guy like Nathan McKinnon versus other superstars in this league. 294 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, you gotta maintain his speed. Obviously, he's gonna create chances. 295 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 10: He's gonna get his chances, but you gotta limit them 296 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 10: as best you can. Get in his face, play him hard, 297 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 10: get your stick in his lane, you know. But like 298 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 10: a guy that got you got to maintain stay out 299 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 10: of the box. Obviously, they're really huge there. But they're 300 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 10: a heck of a team out there. And you know, 301 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 10: I think for our team, our Josh, play smart, be 302 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 10: in their face, play with speed, and make a challenging 303 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 10: for their top guys. And if we do that, I 304 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 10: think it should be a really good game. 305 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 6: Finally, at this point of the season, what have you 306 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 6: appreciated about the value of leadership in this room and 307 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 6: especially others underhead coach Land Lambert ere in this first year. 308 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, Lan's mcgutt. He's a communicator. He's not obviously happy 309 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 10: we're with that, and he's not going to accept that. 310 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 10: So I think that's you know, good for us to have, 311 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 10: you know, a guy that you know we can lead, 312 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 10: lean on, lead us, you know, to getting us in 313 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 10: the right direction. And again he's positive, but you know 314 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 10: when we need to you know, kicking the uh kicking 315 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 10: the butt, he's he's there to kind of be ready 316 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 10: for us, and obviously it's nice to have. 317 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 5: Him on our side. Appreciate this, Brandon, thank you, Yeah, 318 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 5: thank you. 319 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 6: So the crack and looking for a boost from that 320 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 6: mindset against Colorado first of three meetings and after this evening, 321 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 6: these two teams won't need to get until after the 322 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 6: trade deadline. Right back Aaron Seattle on March twelfth. Your 323 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 6: cracking story lines first up again with Chandler Stevenson and 324 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 6: his impact potentially up against Nathan McKinnon. That could be 325 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 6: a big match up to watch. He's got points now 326 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 6: in each of the last five games, up to seventeen 327 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 6: points now third on the Crack and in scoring. Secondly, 328 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 6: Philip Grubauer back in it, and once again can he 329 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 6: give his former team fits against Colorado. He's held his 330 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 6: own five five and one thirteen games, so that doesn't 331 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 6: all include the first round of the twenty twenty three 332 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 6: Stanley Cup playoffs where he was sensational in the seven 333 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 6: game upset. And to win this evening a miss a 334 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 6: turnaround year, would mean his first win since the twenty 335 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 6: second of November that was at Pittsburgh. He's looking forward 336 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 6: to that certainly. And finally, the Krack and defense where 337 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 6: a big test is coming in this trained versus straight 338 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 6: matchup five on five goals the Krack and typer third 339 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 6: fewest allowed in the league with forty nine up against Colorado. 340 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 6: Ninety two goals scored at five on five, that is 341 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 6: most in the NHL last five krack and wins overall, 342 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 6: they've allowed three goals or less. So no Jayden Schwartz, 343 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 6: no Jared mccamb Berkeley Catton or goaltender Matt Murray on 344 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 6: IR and GM. Jason Botterill joined ninety three to three 345 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 6: KJRFM and our friend Ian Furness on Monday for a 346 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 6: look on the return of Schwartz, m McCann and five 347 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 6: more games to go before the holiday break. 348 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 11: Jane Schwartz is maybe the most underrated player that this 349 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 11: NHL has right now. I mean, and his importance to 350 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 11: your team is is we see it every night now 351 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 11: without him out there? 352 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 5: Yep. 353 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 11: Jared McCann as well, huge huge absences right now with 354 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 11: those two guys, specifically how close are they to coming back? 355 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 11: And when I ask you about all these things about 356 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 11: can you add top six guys and all that, how 357 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 11: much of it is just kind of like making sure 358 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 11: you kind of stay steady where you are because when 359 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 11: you get those guys back, that's like two massive roster. 360 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 5: Editions as well. 361 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 12: Well, there are two massive roster dishes, and there's still 362 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 12: gonna be a little bit of time before coming back 363 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 12: from that standpoint, but you know, they just they add 364 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 12: so much depth to our organization and to our team. 365 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 12: You know, whenever you have those two guys in the lineup, 366 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 12: they create so much out there. They both in play, 367 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 12: power play, penalty killing, even strength. You know, Jaden's a 368 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 12: you know, we're a team that needs to improve on 369 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 12: our NetFront presence. He's one of our best there. He's 370 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 12: always in and around the crease, creating an havoc out there. 371 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 12: You know, McCann's a player that you saw it in 372 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 12: the game before last week against LA before he left 373 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 12: with an injury, like he can beat it goalie cleanly. 374 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 12: He's got that that heart of a shot from that standpoint. 375 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 12: So we certainly us but put other people in those opportunities, 376 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 12: and we need some of our younger players and our 377 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 12: other players to step up. And you know, when we 378 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 12: get those players back, they'll certainly help us out a lot. 379 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 12: Big stretch coming up before Christmas break. Nice thing the 380 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 12: NHL does, though, They do shut down during the Christmas break, 381 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 12: which is kind of good for a few days. 382 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 5: So they do do that. But how important are these 383 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 5: next five games? 384 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 12: Well, look, it's gonna be a game, It's gonna be 385 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 12: a real challenge against Colorado. Obviously, they're the best team 386 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 12: in the league right now by a long shot, and 387 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 12: you talk about parody, they're the one exception stuff for sure, 388 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 12: So it will be a challenge there. And then look, 389 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 12: we have to I think in our first road trip 390 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 12: out east. You know, Lane brought a road warrior mentality. 391 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 12: That's what we'll have to do for the four game 392 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 12: road trip as we go up to Calgary and then 393 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 12: down to California there. So it's going to be imperative 394 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 12: that we find ways to continue to improve our special teams, 395 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 12: continue to find in a little extra goal out there, 396 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 12: and to have success. 397 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 5: You're leading to Christmas. 398 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 6: That's Crack and GM Jason Bottorol.

That's brought to you by the Evergreen 462 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 6: Council on Problem Gambling in your Odds courtesy bet MGM. 463 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 6: The line with Colorado at minus three twenty five and 464 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 6: the over under is six. The pregame show is served 465 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 6: up by Frostcrewed Corps, Light Chews, Chill, Mike Benton with 466 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 6: you in time now for a look at the Avalanche 467 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 6: and they are a challenge and here are your reasons why. 468 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 6: They own the league's top record twenty three to two 469 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 6: and seven lead the NHL in regulation wins five on 470 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 6: five goal ratio goals four goals against. No one's beaten 471 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 6: them at home in regulation yet this year plus they 472 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 6: own the number one PK in the NHL. They are 473 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 6: certainly rolling. They beat Nashville for two last time outs 474 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 6: courtesy goals from Jack Dury, Victor Olivson, Valari Nachushkin and 475 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 6: Sam Gerard. But we learn one thing. You can't let 476 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 6: them get rolling fast. Because they're now up to nine 477 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 6: times scoring a goal in the opening ninety seconds of 478 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 6: a game this season. That is a new franchise record. 479 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 6: And after that win, their head coach Jared Bedner explained 480 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 6: on what they're doing with getting out of the gates 481 00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 6: so fast. 482 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 15: They weren't ready to go focused. I think, you know, 483 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 15: like it's all you always want to try to get 484 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 15: to a good starting at home. I think we're doing 485 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 15: a better job of that, like scoring early anyway. But 486 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 15: I think it's just yeah, it's it's guys getting prepared 487 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 15: and their focus and getting ready to play with some 488 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 15: energy and getting some good looks early on in games. 489 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 6: So the crack and no, they got to get out 490 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 6: to their own fast start because Colorado's pretty good at it. 491 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 6: They have led fifty four percent of the time this season, 492 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 6: that leads the NHL. They have trailed in games only 493 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 6: seventeen percent of the time, that is lowest in the NHL. 494 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 6: But the one thing about Colorado, they've gone firepower. But 495 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 6: after that it's kind of a drop off because you 496 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 6: have Nathan McKinnon of course, twenty six goals and arguably 497 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 6: a hard Trophy favorite.

Take the 584 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 4: air out of the avs and crank up the volume 585 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 4: inside this building. One statement save can stuff Colorado's offense 586 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 4: like a Christmas turkey. Secondly, wrap up Nathan McKinnon like 587 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 4: a Christmas present. You're not stopping him, You're annoying him. 588 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 4: You're containing him. Gap control, body position and layers through 589 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 4: the neutral zone. Turn his north south north south rocket 590 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 4: speed into rush hour traffic. Play him tight, play them physical, 591 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 4: and angle him off pucks. If he's thinking instead of flying, 592 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 4: the Kraken are doing something very right. And then third, 593 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 4: special teams without the seasonal stress. This is not the 594 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 4: night for sloppy penalties or power play or a power 595 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 4: play that needs assembly instructions. Stay out of the box, 596 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 4: and when you do get the man advantage, move it quick, 597 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 4: shoot with shoot with purpose, simple, sharp, and slightly ruthless. 598 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 4: Special teams does the trick bottom line get goultening that 599 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 4: makes Colorado frustrated, turn McKinnon's night into a grind and 600 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 4: keep the special teams tidy. Do that and CPA becomes 601 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 4: a very unfriendly holiday holiday stop for the Apps. Think 602 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 4: more ugly sweater party than elegant dinner, Loud, chaotic, and 603 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 4: hard to leave early. When tonight, everyone heads done on 604 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 4: the road with two points, smiling like they just found 605 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 4: an extra present under the tree. 606 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: That was the best. I was always one hidden. How 607 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: don't you gonna look over there next to the TV? 608 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 3: I think there's one over there, you know, Colorado. We 609 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: this is the first time in the crack and I'm 610 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: seeing Colorado. They'll see him twice more, both after the deadline. 611 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: So these two teams could. 612 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 5: Be wildly different. 613 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: I've gone in. 614 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 3: I went into the season saying the last matchup of 615 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 3: the year, the last game game eighty two, April sixteenth, 616 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 3: kracking in Colorado potentially could be a playoff implicating matchup, 617 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: And I think I'm gonna still stand by that lot 618 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 3: of hockey to go. 619 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: But man, they've gotten off to. 620 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 5: A hot start. 621 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 3: Looking at their roster, no weaknesses on this team. Only 622 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 3: one player has an even rating, no minus ratings on 623 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 3: this team. And they just keep on rolling in and 624 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: they're very healthy as well. 625 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 626 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 4: Absolutely, they own the top or the top four positions 627 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 4: on the plus minus. Yeah for the league. For the league, 628 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 4: the top four, So I look that up, but starts 629 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 4: with Nathan McKinnon at the top, but at number one. 630 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 4: But the last two times they've lost in regulation three 631 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 4: two to Boston in November. Tight game, right, low scoring game. 632 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 4: That's what the crackling gotta do. Yeah, they lost in 633 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 4: regulation to the Islanders as well, six to three. Blackwood 634 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 4: goaltender you're gonna see tonight for Colorado. He gave up 635 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 4: five of those six goals and guess Nembers nifty enter 636 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 4: there as well. So this is a go that we're 637 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 4: expecting to see tonight that the Kraken could have some 638 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 4: success against kracking. 639 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 3: Earlier this year in Winnipeg, beat Winnipeg three nothing. They 640 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: came back the very next game at home to beat 641 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 3: the Oilers by a three to two score. They beat 642 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 3: Winnipeg here at home five to three. They beat Toronto 643 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 3: in Toronto four to three in overtime. Game two of 644 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: the season. They beat the Vegas Golden Knights by a 645 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 3: two to one score, and then of course, they open 646 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 3: up the season with a three to one win against Anaheim. 647 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: I say all that the same those teams are all 648 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 3: now at near the top of their division. They have 649 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 3: been in a playoffs spot, they are amongst the league's 650 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: elite this season. So it's been done before and there's 651 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: no reason to think that it can't be. Then again, 652 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 3: here's to night. No, this team knows how to play 653 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: that way. But as we've talked about, you cannot take 654 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 3: a shift off. You cannot not take a period off 655 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 3: every single shift. You have to know what your job 656 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: is and go out and execute. 657 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 4: And your job might be on the fourth line where 658 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 4: you just need to not hurt the team defensively in 659 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 4: your own end, take advantage of offensive it comes, but 660 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 4: not hurt the team that might put your job or 661 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 4: maybe your Chandler Stevenson or many paniers where you know 662 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 4: you've got to lead some offense out there.

It 745 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 6: seems like that it's that time of the year right 746 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 6: now where more meds are on the menu here to 747 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 6: essentially combat illness. So how valuable first off can your 748 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 6: sport staff to get as many guys back on the 749 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 6: right path, whether it's be a hands on approach or 750 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 6: just their intel as well. 751 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 22: Yeah, well, you know, obviously, like you said, there's there's illness, 752 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 22: but I think it. You know, there's illness going throughout 753 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 22: the league right and you know you see on a 754 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 22: nightly basis, you know two or three guys from each 755 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 22: team that are you know, out maybe because of illness. 756 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 22: But what you don't see is you know the other 757 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 22: six or eight guys that we had the other night 758 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 22: that we're playing and we're sick, you know, So that 759 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 22: support staff is huge for us in terms of trying 760 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 22: to get these guys healthy as much as possible, do 761 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 22: the right things, and combat it, you know, sort of 762 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 22: be a little bit more proactive than reactive. But certainly 763 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 22: this is the time of year for this kind of 764 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 22: thing right now. 765 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 6: We often hear more and more of these days that 766 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 6: rest is a weapon, and there's five games here to 767 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 6: play in this next week before the holidays. So to you, 768 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 6: how much has this game changed over the years is 769 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 6: approached to rest time and rest days as well, I. 770 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 22: Think it's changed a lot, to be honest with you, 771 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 22: which is really kind of strange, because you know, back 772 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 22: in the old days when I was playing, we used 773 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,919 Speaker 22: to fly commercial, so it would stay overnight after the game, 774 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 22: get up, go to the airport, go through security, all 775 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 22: that stuff. Now we just jump on a plane and 776 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 22: we're gone, you know, And so I feel like we 777 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 22: even practiced a little bit more back then. But the 778 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 22: schedule right now, the travel, you know, how demanding it 779 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 22: is on the players and each individual game itself. You 780 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 22: have to put everything you have into that. And it's 781 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 22: one thing that you know, I want fans to understand 782 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 22: is that you know they're giving everything they have and 783 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 22: at the end of the game they're spent, and so 784 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 22: the rest ratio is super important. You know, we practiced yesterday, 785 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 22: which was our in between day. You know, who knows 786 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 22: what we're going to do tomorrow, and you know in 787 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 22: San Jose and then again in Anaheim, because we play 788 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 22: so many games that if you don't have energy for 789 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 22: the game, you'd decrease your chances of winning right off the. 790 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 6: Hop if we can go back to the penalty kill. 791 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 6: On Sunday, they get two of two against Buffalo, which 792 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 6: in theory is good of course for no goals allowed. 793 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 6: But what are you noticing about how the fores and 794 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 6: defensemen are reacting to what's been thrown at them. 795 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 22: Yeah, they're doing good. We changed it clearly needed to, 796 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 22: you know, and it was to the point where, you know, 797 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 22: you hate to change something on an in between day 798 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 22: and make it a real significant change, But we just 799 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 22: weren't able to grasp the concepts that we wanted to 800 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 22: go with, and so we've had to make some adjustments 801 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 22: to that. And I think those adjustments have put more 802 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 22: onus on our defense and less onus on our forwards. 803 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 22: And so what we've done is we've tried to take 804 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 22: our veteran defensemen and make them have more of the 805 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 22: reads than our young forwards, some guys that haven't even 806 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 22: killed in this league before, or killed very minimally in 807 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 22: this league, and we're continuing to make mistakes, and so 808 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 22: we've had to make that adjustment. 809 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 6: You must to say, Colorado is rolling right now. And 810 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 6: we talk with Brandon Monteur the other day about Nathan 811 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 6: McKinnon saying that he'll get his chances, but close attention 812 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 6: matters when it comes to defensive covers. So what's the 813 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 6: mindset you want the guys going out with here for tonight? 814 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 22: Uh? Well, I mean, we obviously have to be aware 815 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 22: of these guys. They're dynamic. You know they will get chances. 816 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 22: We have to give them this few chances as possible. 817 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 22: Our mindset is pay close attention to those guys, don't 818 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 22: give them too much time and space. And in saying that, 819 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 22: that doesn't mean you're backing up. We've got to play. 820 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 22: We've got to play north, we've got to play on 821 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 22: the attack, and you know we don't want to be 822 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,479 Speaker 22: on our heels. So this is clearly the best hockey 823 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 22: team in the league by a mile, right, now you 824 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 22: know McKinnon's already plus forty. Usually you know plus forty 825 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 22: wins the plus minus over an eighty two game schedule. 826 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 22: It's mind boggling to me what this team has done 827 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 22: so far with two regulation losses.
