  Speaker 3: Welcome to Cracking this.
• 0:18

  Speaker 3: Day off from practice on Friday.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So oh, we got a little bit more to recap
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: here as far as the Kraken and what they're trying
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to recover from where we'll hear from head coach Lane
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Lambert plus four Jared McCann after the Kraken fell to
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the Edmonton Oilers nine to four at Rogers Place on Thursday,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: setting a new mark for most goals given up by
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the Kraken in one game, most power play goals also
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: given up in one game. That's four Lane Lambert Jared
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: McCann coming up in just a bit before that we
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: recap in this context, it's certainly a Knight the Kraken
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: had never seen before. They were facing an Edmonton team
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: playing as close to full strength as it gets, looking
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: for a shot of confidence, and the Kraken fighting an
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: uphill battle early on, found themselves down three to nothing
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: at one point in period one on goals from Conor McDavid,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Vasili Podkolzen and Leon Dreis Tidle, though the Kraken would
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: fight their way back into it. First off, it was
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Ellie Tulvenen chipping in with a power play goal at
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: sixteen oh seven. After that, a new Kraken center was
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: looking to make his mark.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Here comes Seattle into the offensive zone of the high slot.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: As Winterton forced.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Off the puck now turned over in front back ahead scos,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Freddy Gadreau forces the turnover undresses Calvin pickered out in front,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and the Seattle Crackhead pulled back to within one twenty
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: seven seconds to play in the first three to two
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Edmonton well.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Freddy Gudreau showing why it's so important to go on
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: the attack on the on the fore check, and it
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: was Leon Dreichs title in the hash marks right in
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: front of his own goal that gave up that puck
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: to Freddy gadrou and it was a nice toe drag
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: move that he got skinnered to bite on, came back
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: against the grain, buried it in three quarters when opening.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: At Freddie Gadreau picking up his first goal in a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: krack in Jersey a quick strike off the takeaway, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: he picked up his first goal of the season as well,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: coming in nineteen thirty three unassisted. The Cracking right back
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: into the game down by one and nearly tied it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Before the first period.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Horn on a shot that leaked threw goaltender Calvin Pickard,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: but it's defense backing him up able to clear the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: puck and preserve Edmonton's lead at the end of one period.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: The second period, though, was where this one got away
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: from the Krake in Edmonton, scoring three unanswered goals in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the first six minutes, plus Matt Savoy shorthanded McDavid's second
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: on the power play. Zach Hyman as well at a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: fifty three, all the while a rough night ending for
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Joey to Cord five goals and fourteen shots, replaced by
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Philip Grubauer, Jared mccannon chipping in with one more goal
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: before the end of the period before Edmonton pulled away
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: in period three, Conor McDavid with his thirteenth career hat trick,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: sandwiched by goals from mattis yan Mark and the second
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of the game from Matt Savoy. Yannie Newman finishing up
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the offensive side of things at nineteen fifty five with
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: his fourth goal of the season, but the game already
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: academic at that point and the Kraken left searching for
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: answers after giving up their most amount of goals in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: one game in franchise history, and Jared mccanno got his
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: first goal since returning from injury and more to say
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: after the game, it's hard.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: To remember because well, the goals that went in, but
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: you guys were actually in position to get back into
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: this game at one point and get that short handed
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: goal on what that looked like look like set play. Yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: I think we just got a lost look at the puck.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: We know, I think I can do a better job
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: of kind of getting to that d man a little
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: bit quicker. So, you know, it's it's tough to find
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: any any positives from a game like that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: You guys got some goals on the board, but I
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: mean defensively, it was very atypical game where what did
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: you see happening with the systems.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: This feels like we go one way or the other, right,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: like we're either really dialed in defensively not scoring goals
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: or you know, we're giving up so six seven goals
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: and then you know getting guard our own as well. Right,
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: So it's it's frustrating. You know, we gotta we've gotta
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: dial it in here. We've got to you know, be
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: better leaders for our team. And you know, I think
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: it starts with you know me, Maddie and and and absence.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: Sorry, this is a team that it can kind of
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: turn it on offensively when it starts sliding like that
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: up as it to kind of keep that slide going
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: with m Dave and dry.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Settle playing there there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, obviously they're very skilled players and you know
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: they've they've done it for a long time. They're they're
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: they're hard to contain, but you know, we gotta find
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: a way.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: You could perhaps to text some frustration from cracking head
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: coach Lane Lambert after Edmonton won four of five on
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the power play despite the krack in putting up sixty
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: two shot attempts at five on five and seventy four
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: overall for the game to fifty three from Edmonton.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Here's Lambert after the game.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: Lane, we haven't seen you give up this many goals
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: for what? What? What was the problem with the systems tonight?
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Because obviously something wasn't working. Power play, uh scored four.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: We gave up a shorthanded goal when the score was
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: three too, and we had an opportunity to get back
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: into the game because we're not aware of, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: somebody behind us, and it ends up in a breakaway
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: mistakes and I didn't think our goaltending was great tonight.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: So if you add it all up, it equals nine.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: What do you say to the team after a game
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: like this?
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Nothing?
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: When this was obviously an uncharacteristic effort defensively, are there
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: details of execution that you feel like we're noticeably missing
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: or off?
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: There was in the first period. We're a little slow
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: to close. You know, they've got a good offensive hockey
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: team obviously, you know, so we have to be better
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: in that area. And you know, once we once we
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: got on our heels a little bit in our zone,
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: started a snowball. And to be honest with you, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: irony of the whole situation is, I thought that was
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: that was one of our best offensive zone games of
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: the year. You know, we threw seventy some pucks at
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: the net. We had plenty of opportunities to score. You know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: we did some good things, which is you know, like
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: I say, the irony of the whole thing is we
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: we did some good things. We we had some positive situations.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: So we have to, uh, you know, we have to
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: build on that, and we have to you know, we
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: can't give up nine goals. I mean, it's just can't
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: give up four power play goals, even though it's you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: McDavid whatever, but not good enough.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: As you mentioned, you were getting back into and early
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in the second period ahead of that seveal.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: A goal at the shorthanded. What has to happen on that,
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: on that on that sequence, I mean, on that sequence
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: really quick. Yeah, oh, you got to win the face off.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: We have an extra man. If you don't win the
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: face off, you gotta jump it. And we just can't
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: let the guy get behind us. I mean, that's just
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: just playing. It's it's it's plain and simple. There's some
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: awareness there, that's all.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So instead of forcing in a practice between games, the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Kraken electing to rest and wipe the sleigh clean because
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: they're in a stretch right now, playing eleven games in
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a tour twenty day stretch, though they will have the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: comforts of home at their disposal. Leading us here to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: tonight's matchup. It's against Detroit, where the Kraken are aiming
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: for a split in the head to head series, plus
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: also opening a three game homestand in Climbate Pledge Arena
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: where they have been successful for much of the beginning
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of this season at six three and three, and they
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have handled the Red Wings pretty well on home ice
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in their young franchise history, with a two to zero
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and two Mark Lane Lambert going with Jared McCann, Matty
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Veneers Jordan Eberley as this new top line with Mason
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Marchmint out of the mix.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Undisclosed reasons.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: He is day to day according to the last report
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: from Lane Lambert, but should he elect to keep this
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: trio together, they could make a major impact. Everley is
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the crack and leading score head to head against Detroit
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: with twenty seven points in thirty two games. McCann is
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: second with thirteen points in his career against the Red Wings. Veneers,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: though with less experiences, has been incredibly productive against the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Red Wings in his career with nine points in seven
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: games head to head. On the back end, Vince Dunn
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: remains one point away from three hundred in his NHL career.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: One more goal or one assist gets him there. This
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: could be a matchup pretty ripe for the situation. He
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: owns six assists in his last six games against the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Red Wings. The Red Wings owned just one win of
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: their previous six games and lost a heartbreaker last time
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: out six to five to Columbus in a shootout, with
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jackets scoring two goals in period three, including
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a game tying goal from Adam Van Tilly with one
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: thirty one remaining in regulation, but Dylan Larkin, he's their
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: main point getter in this series, and he's been hot,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: owning points in six consecutive games. He's been their main
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: go to guy head ahead in the series, leading Detroit
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: with thirteen points in nine career games against the Crack,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and he's right now also tie for the team lead
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: in scoring thirty one points with Lucas Raymond, who was
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: arguably just as hot with points in seven consecutive games.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He's got nine points as well in that span. So
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Detroit should certainly be a challenge, and the Kraken would
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: love to stop them in their tracks to get back
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: on the winning path for the first time in five games.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: We have all the action coming your way seven o'clock
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: this evening. Airtime is six point thirty from Climate Pledge
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Arena postgame at Tom's watch bar up to an hour
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: after the final horn. We certainly hope that you can
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: join us for kracking this morning. I'm Mike Benton, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: enjoy the game.
• 10:36
