Speaker 2: to twenty three, and the last time he scored a
4:34
Speaker 2: goal it was against the same team in the Maple Leafs.
4:37
Speaker 2: So a bother some draft is over. Josh Mhura on
4:41
Speaker 2: the board, the Kracking going to ot for the fourth
4:43
Speaker 2: consecutive game and they come out victorious now three to
4:46
Speaker 2: zero and two. Still unbeaten in regulation under brand new
4:50
Speaker 2: head coach Lane Lambert before the game the krack and
4:54
Speaker 2: wearing Seattle Mariners jerseys in honor of the Mariners getting
4:58
Speaker 2: to within one win of the World Old Series. Quite
5:01
Speaker 2: a statement. And here's more with head coach Lane Lambert
5:03
Speaker 2: talking about the significance of we're in the jersey plus
5:06
Speaker 2: also what is reed is on the Kraken through five games.
5:10
Speaker 2: After the win on Saturday.
5:11
Speaker 8: Again, I thought we had guys make real solid contributions.
5:14
Speaker 9: I thought, you know, John Hayden did a really good job.
5:17
Speaker 8: He helped out on the penalty kill, you know, and
5:21
Speaker 8: and obviously you know Mahera with the goal at the end,
5:27
Speaker 8: you know, stepping into a situation or a position.
5:30
Speaker 9: You know, we've put him in in that position and
5:33
Speaker 9: exhibition as well, where he's played on the power play,
5:35
Speaker 9: so you know he has it. Was.
5:38
Speaker 8: It was really good to see and I thought our
5:40
Speaker 8: guys stuck with it. You know.
5:42
Speaker 9: It wasn't perfect by any stretch, but it was.
5:44
Speaker 8: It was a pretty good hockey game for us in
5:46
Speaker 8: a very very good building.
5:49
Speaker 10: It is early in the season, but is it important
5:51
Speaker 10: to come away with two points in the situa when
5:53
Speaker 10: you're playing an overtime game like that? For the third
5:56
Speaker 10: night in a row. In the previous two you got
5:58
Speaker 10: one to the psychological.
6:00
Speaker 9: Yeah, very it's huge. Yeah, it's huge.
6:02
Speaker 8: You know, to maybe not come away with two points
6:05
Speaker 8: tonight would have been super disheartening because we've been in
6:08
Speaker 8: that situation, you know, the past couple of games.
6:12
Speaker 9: But you know, we're in tight hockey games. It's the
6:15
Speaker 9: way it is.
6:15
Speaker 8: And you know, it's the fourth overtime game in a row,
6:18
Speaker 8: so we expect to be in tight hockey games for
6:21
Speaker 8: the most part, and we have to be comfortable playing
6:24
Speaker 8: in those games. And it was nice to see our
6:26
Speaker 8: guys get rewarded for what they've done. With you playing
6:29
Speaker 8: all that overtime, how much do you kind of look
6:31
Speaker 8: at that when it comes to you know what last time,
6:34
Speaker 8: what you.
6:35
Speaker 9: Know, what you need to adjust for this time with overtime.
6:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean you definitely take different looks at at overtime.
6:41
Speaker 8: And there was a play in our first overtime game
6:45
Speaker 8: where Shaye theed or got the pocket came down the
6:48
Speaker 8: ice on Jordan. Ever they were trying to avoid those
6:50
Speaker 8: types of situations, you know, so you you do some
6:53
Speaker 8: work on it, but at the end of the day too,
6:55
Speaker 8: I think our guys have done a really good job
6:57
Speaker 8: of using their instincts and on the three nds and
7:01
Speaker 8: have done a real good job of uh controlling the puck.
7:05
Speaker 8: You know, for me, it's probably the best I've seen
7:07
Speaker 8: for a while.
7:08
Speaker 9: Play the uh five games you guys have played so
7:10
Speaker 9: far of the season. What have you liked about how
7:12
Speaker 9: you've approached games in terms of your future? Yeah, I've
7:17
Speaker 9: enjoyed that a lot. Actually, I think our team's competing.
7:21
Speaker 8: You know, there's there's things that happen out there, but
7:25
Speaker 8: they're not for a lack of trying. And you know,
7:30
Speaker 8: that's really the the number one first message we had
7:34
Speaker 8: at training camp, and our guys have embraced that and
7:36
Speaker 8: they're doing.
7:36
Speaker 9: A great job of it. What have you seen from
7:38
Speaker 9: Shane right, it's making him so effective? Well, he's uh,
7:40
Speaker 9: he had a great game tonight.
7:42
Speaker 8: I think for me, Uh, Shane, when he's moving his
7:45
Speaker 8: feet right and when he's having confidence that he you
7:49
Speaker 8: know that he can keep the puck and own the puck, uh,
7:53
Speaker 8: he's gonna continue.
7:54
Speaker 9: To have more success. So I thought I had a
7:56
Speaker 9: really good game tonight.
7:57
Speaker 4: When you see the jersey you're wearing to what was
7:59
Speaker 4: important to kind of do that and express support for
8:02
Speaker 4: the Marriags as they go for the World Series.
8:04
Speaker 8: So well, I think it's mutual. I think, uh, you know,
8:09
Speaker 8: Josh Naylor supports us too. He was wearing our jersey
8:13
Speaker 8: after they won, you know, in in in the locker room,
8:17
Speaker 8: and you know, I it's again, it's about our our hometown,
8:22
Speaker 8: and it's about our our fans and m and our city.
8:26
Speaker 9: And I'll say it again.
8:28
Speaker 8: Our city is a great sports town and we've had
8:31
Speaker 8: you know, we have great fans.
8:32
Speaker 9: Uh in every uh you know, in every.
8:34
Speaker 8: Sport, and you know, uh we're supporting them just as
8:38
Speaker 8: they would support.
8:39
Speaker 2: Us on a personal mot is a win like this
8:42
Speaker 2: in this building.
8:43
Speaker 9: Specialty, well it's better than losing, you know.
8:46
Speaker 8: So uh you know I I again, I I you know,
8:51
Speaker 8: I have a lot of respect for the organization, the
8:53
Speaker 8: people in the organization from top to bottom, the players
8:56
Speaker 8: that were on the ice tonight against us.
8:59
Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean for me, it's it's.
9:02
Speaker 8: You know, we get we get a win and we
9:04
Speaker 8: keep going and it doesn't really matter who we're playing.
9:07
Speaker 4: What would you think of Tail jumping into the role
9:09
Speaker 4: he did and getting some powerfully time and kind of
9:11
Speaker 4: handling that role with mine.
9:12
Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought he did a good job.
9:14
Speaker 8: You know, it's tough when you haven't played for a
9:16
Speaker 8: little bit, and he I thought he handled that very well.
9:22
Speaker 8: I thought he played well in exhibition. There's a reason
9:24
Speaker 8: he's here right now, and you know, he played well
9:29
Speaker 8: and and he's kept himself ready to go.
9:32
Speaker 9: What people don't see behind the scenes.
9:34
Speaker 8: Is his work ethic on days off and days when
9:41
Speaker 8: you know we're having games.
9:42
Speaker 9: And he's not in the lineup.
9:44
Speaker 8: And you know, if you do that, and if you
9:46
Speaker 8: take the right approach, you give yourself a chance to
9:48
Speaker 8: have success when you do.
9:49
Speaker 9: Draw into the lineup.
9:50
Speaker 2: Gonna be a pretty busy week ahead here for the
9:52
Speaker 2: Crack and when they take on Philadelphia tonight, Washington tomorrow,
9:56
Speaker 2: Winnipeg to end the trip on Thursday, and then come
9:58
Speaker 2: right back home to face the the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
10:02
Speaker 2: But the Crack and so far passing many tests. Right
10:05
Speaker 2: now at three zero and two to preview matters, everet
10:09
Speaker 2: fits you, Al Konski and myself dive into it all
10:13
Speaker 2: a part of crack and weekly.
10:14
Speaker 5: You can't afford to take the Flyers lightly right. You
10:16
Speaker 5: know you heard John Walton talk about how this is
10:18
Speaker 5: gonna be a team that they're gonna struggle to score goals.
10:20
Speaker 9: This year.
10:21
Speaker 5: You bring in Rick Tockett, so you know, I think
10:23
Speaker 5: that's another team that, like Seattle, is going to have
10:26
Speaker 5: a change of identity. We saw what he did in Vancouver,
10:30
Speaker 5: and I think he's the right man.
10:31
Speaker 4: For the job.
10:31
Speaker 5: But they're still a very young team. And going through
10:34
Speaker 5: all my player notes for the game here tonight, you
10:37
Speaker 5: know they've got fifteen guys who have five or less
10:42
Speaker 5: years of service time in the NHL. So this is
10:46
Speaker 5: a pretty young team in Philly. I hate the phrase
10:50
Speaker 5: trap game, I really do. I'm not even gonna use it,
10:53
Speaker 5: but this is a game that potentially for Seattle, you
10:56
Speaker 5: can't afford to overlook them because you've got Washington to night.
11:00
Speaker 5: I think Philadelphia, you know, they're they're a team that
11:05
Speaker 5: can score if you let them. Dan Vladar six one
11:09
Speaker 5: in one all time against the Kraken. He's five zero
11:12
Speaker 5: and one in the last six against Seattle. So if
11:16
Speaker 5: Vladar is the guy going tonight, uh that that doesn't
11:20
Speaker 5: bode well. You know, historically for Seattle, this is a
11:23
Speaker 5: game that even though you got Wash coming up tomorrow,
11:25
Speaker 5: you cannot afford to take them lightly.
11:27
Speaker 4: Funny you mentioned Dan Vadar because I thought the same
11:29
Speaker 4: thing as well, And I looked back at the game
11:31
Speaker 4: logs for the Flyers so far, and they flip flopped
11:33
Speaker 4: every game. It's been Samuel jis Arson, Daniel Voladar, back
11:36
Speaker 4: and forth. And if that holds true, it should be
11:38
Speaker 4: Samuel Arrison tonight. I don't think it's gonna be if
11:41
Speaker 4: you look at that record with Dan Voladar. So we'll see.
11:44
Speaker 4: But you know, the thing about it is with a
11:45
Speaker 4: ricktocket coach team is you know, the compete level is
11:48
Speaker 4: gonna be high. You know, then no quit level is
11:50
Speaker 4: gonna be high. You know, the workff effort's gonna be there.
11:54
Speaker 4: I think that's a lot of the Kraken identity as well.
11:56
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a battle.
11:58
Speaker 2: For what it's worth. Lane Lambert, looking for his first
12:00
Speaker 2: win head to head against Rick Tockett, too, previously faced
12:04
Speaker 2: off when Taka just took the Canucks job, succeeding Bruce Boudreau.
12:08
Speaker 2: Lane Lambert was back with the Islanders. But I mean,
12:10
Speaker 2: as they say, coaches often can be changed men when
12:13
Speaker 2: they get into their second NHL job here and Lane
12:16
Speaker 2: Lambert right now doing some pretty incredible things. So he's
12:18
Speaker 2: looking to get his first win against Rick Tocket. Had
12:21
Speaker 2: to head here for this evening before we move on
12:23
Speaker 2: to the ideal week ahead and our three Stars picks.
12:26
Speaker 2: I didn't want to kind of put the spotlight on
12:28
Speaker 2: the Matty Beaneer's line because we talked about so much
12:31
Speaker 2: during the offseason. Where Matti beaneers goes, this team could
12:35
Speaker 2: go as well. And again Everett, you mentioned we hate
12:38
Speaker 2: talking about twenty twenty two to twenty three. It's getting
12:41
Speaker 2: up there now with comparing you know, the expansion draft
12:44
Speaker 2: here to Vegas way like back five years ago. But
12:48
Speaker 2: Matty Beaneer's that set the bar for his production. But
12:51
Speaker 2: now the league figures you out and what can you
12:53
Speaker 2: do to win that cat and mouse game to get
12:55
Speaker 2: back to your ideal numbers? Right now, Beaniir's with three
12:59
Speaker 2: points in five games. He's playing also with Jared McCann
13:03
Speaker 2: near point per game, leading goal scorer on this team,
13:06
Speaker 2: and Jordan Eberley four assists through five games. But you're
13:11
Speaker 2: not looking at just a baseline numbers here for Beneers.
13:16
Speaker 2: I've looked over and over and over at one on
13:19
Speaker 2: one foot races and I'm not groaning. Oh, he should
13:22
Speaker 2: have had that one. He should have had that one.
13:23
Speaker 2: It's wow, what a play. He took the body, he
13:26
Speaker 2: laid the shoulder in. He's doing damage back in his
13:30
Speaker 2: own zone in a good way and finding the exit
13:33
Speaker 2: lane for this team. But also he's finding a way
13:36
Speaker 2: to produce. Help out McCann, help out Eberley, and this
13:41
Speaker 2: is what you want. Can you find your guy who
13:44
Speaker 2: now has taking a leadership role even more with an
13:47
Speaker 2: A on the front of his jersey and having played
13:49
Speaker 2: a complete two hundred foot game. Matty Beaneers, so far,
13:54
Speaker 2: so good.
13:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talk about the crack in every game they play,
13:57
Speaker 5: it seems like you're saying to yourself, man, this might
14:01
Speaker 5: be the best game that I think we've seen this season.
14:03
Speaker 5: And I feel like with Matti Beaneers, every game he's played,
14:06
Speaker 5: I feel like I find myself saying, man, this might
14:09
Speaker 5: be one of his best performances in the last couple
14:11
Speaker 5: of years here in Seattle. And it's not a bad thing, right,
14:13
Speaker 5: It's just him maturing and growing.
14:17
Speaker 6: You know.
14:17
Speaker 5: Coming into the season, they were talking about him as
14:19
Speaker 5: a Selkie dark horse for you know, one of the
14:21
Speaker 5: top defensive forwards in the league, and he's turning into
14:25
Speaker 5: a defensive minded, responsible two way player. And you're right,
14:29
Speaker 5: I think now that he is, you know, going through
14:32
Speaker 5: the league for the fourth time and he's seeing a
14:34
Speaker 5: lot of these teams again, and you know, you start
14:37
Speaker 5: to know what it takes to be at your best
14:40
Speaker 5: every day and bring you know, ninety percent minimum every
14:45
Speaker 5: single day. Right, You're finding out what it takes to
14:48
Speaker 5: survive in this league, and it's paying off dividends and
14:51
Speaker 5: watching him play this year. This is the Mattivaneers that
14:55
Speaker 5: the Kraken drafted. This is the Matt Evaneers that they
14:58
Speaker 5: expected to get when when he came here to Seattle.
15:02
Speaker 5: And I think he's just getting started this season.
15:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, you and I have talked a lot about him
15:06
Speaker 4: over this past week. And the thing that I'm seeing
15:09
Speaker 4: is another element to his game that I didn't see
15:12
Speaker 4: over the past two seasons. Over the past two seasons,
15:15
Speaker 4: you know, when given the opportunity a plus in offensive ability,
15:20
Speaker 4: but he struggled on the defensive side of the puck.
15:22
Speaker 4: I'm not seeing that as much this year. And you know,
15:24
Speaker 4: for the kids out there, it's like unlocking a skin
15:27
Speaker 4: for your character in a game where they become stronger,
15:30
Speaker 4: they become bigger, they become faster. Maybe it's a suit
15:33
Speaker 4: of arm or whatever, but that's what I'm seeing in Mattyveners.
15:36
Speaker 4: His game has grown to a new level and it's
15:39
Speaker 4: exciting to.
15:39
Speaker 2: See cracking ready to face off and matchup one up
15:42
Speaker 2: to this season against the Flyers, and they've had a
15:45
Speaker 2: pretty good taste of success in their franchise history against
15:48
Speaker 2: the Flyers at five to two and one all time.
15:50
Speaker 2: They are two and two against Philadelphia and won both
15:54
Speaker 2: matchups last season by scoring a combined ten goals. Then's
15:58
Speaker 2: done to point getting leader right now five points in
16:01
Speaker 2: five games, and not too far behind him Jared McCann,
16:04
Speaker 2: Chandler Stevens and Shane Wright, Jayden Schwartz, Mason Marshman and
16:07
