  Speaker 5: Home, WELL i think you're, grated even though you know
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: some people might, say, well you're being very gracious with
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: your grading. HERE i would greater an. A i, mean
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: when you look at the road trip and the length
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: of the road, trip the teams they, played the, injuries
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: they had to navigate through the fact that they're still
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: coming together as a group under a new. COACH i
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: don't think they could have done any. BETTER i, mean
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: they were in position to win the first two games
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: and should have and. Didn't but still gunner to a,
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: point they move on To, toronto they do what they,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: did and then you never like to see the team,
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Lose but when a team, loses you look for a.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Response so the big bugaboo last year was zero to
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: twelve and back to. Backs and, yes they're all in
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: one in the second game of a back to back right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Now but even the game In washington where the coach was,
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: upset the players were, FRUSTRATED i watched the game back
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: AND i saw some things within their team game that
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: are going to bode well moving. Forward and all of,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: that all of that appeared In winnipeg in aces and
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: so every single player that's had a part in, this
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: has played to their, role has. ACCOMPLISHED i believe What
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Lane lambert has been preaching from day number. One you,
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: know the only Thing i'm a little cloudy on is
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: how the three goalies are going to. Work, yeah that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: about the only Thing i'm cloudy on coming out of
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: the road. Trip BUT i felt, that you, know in
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: the first month of the, season ten points and maybe
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: just a little bit more would be. Unbelievable and now
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: they have ten points and they're coming home and it's
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: time now to gain traction at climate pledge, arena AND
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: i think their team game will give them an ability
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: to do that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: BEFORE i get onto The winnipeg, game and even On
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Lane lambert's, system the three goalie, system of, course is
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a part of the conversation early on here for the,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Season joey To cord getting a bulk at the, time
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Then Philip grubauer a little, Bit Matt murray making his
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: debut At. Washington to, you what are the trickiest parts
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to navigate this? Year from off the.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Bat, well the blessing in disguise is maybe that the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: trickiest thing is something that you never could have think
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: uh never could projected or thought of as a management,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: group and that is a boatload of injuries at the
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: start of the, season and because of, that you're you're
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: you're hog tied with a roster. Spot so to, me
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: that's the first thing you know when you when you
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: need to bring a player in because you have an additional,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: need and then all of a sudden you have another
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: positional need and you have another game in your minor
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: league affiliates halfway across the country or all the way
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: across the. Country you, know that's where it becomes, difficult
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: and so carrying the three. Goalies we talked about the
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: mechanics of it in training, CAMP mic we talked about
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: practice time and keeping guys fresh and how they're going
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: to do this and Allowing joey De cord to establish
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: himself as a true number one starter and getting the
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: work needed so that he can accomplish. THAT i think
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: that stuff is kind of hard to execute, Too So
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: I'm i'm watching this very. CAREFULLY i don't know where
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: it's going to. Go, take for, instance to homestand when
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: you look at the scheduling with the days off and
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: the teams that they're, PLAYING i, mean virtually you could
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Play joey the court in every game of the homestand
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: could you. NOT i, mean so now what you? Know
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: now what happens there's this number, two whoever that, is
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: the number, three whoever that? Is you, know how do
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: you do this moving? FORWARD i understand what they thought,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: about you, know in the, summer and you, know leaning
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: on the schedule just a little. Bit BUT i think
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: if we're leaning on the schedule because of The, olympics
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: then every team in the league would be doing, this
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: and very few teams are, now so it's basically back
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: to you, know one into two and so. On you
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: might have to dip into your third guy at some
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: point to give a guy a rest and maybe get
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: a little bit of emotion going for a team if
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: there's an. Injury but that, player that goalie should be
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: in my opinion in the minor, league is. Playing SO
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: i don't. Know we'll just have to take it one
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: step at a time. Here but when you look at
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: the schedulingly come, home There's, edmonton and There's montreal on A,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: tuesday and there's all those days, off you, know and
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: then The rangers come, in and then you move forward
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: With chicago and Then San. JOSE i MEAN i played
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: thirty five each in every GAME i Would.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And with that you Have edmonton coming. Up of course
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about them in a, bit but Then montreal
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: after two days, off The New York rangers after three days, Off,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: chicago and Then San. Jose to wrap this whole thing,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Up John forestland joining us here On cracking this morning
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: ahead of The krack and The Edmonton. Oilers want to
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: touch on The winnipeg, Game johnny From thursday night. Three
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: nothing was the. Win it's obvious to look at how
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: big of an impact That joey the coord made in
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: this game from the veterans standpoint of What Jayden schwartz
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: did in the right moments to affect this game as.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Well but when you look further and further under the,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: hood what stood out the most here to you to
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: end the road trip of the win like that in
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a barn like.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: That, well the first thing and the most important, THING
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: i think is the. Cord because all the great, goalies
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: and hopefully this this young goalie will continue to take
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: steps and in a few years we'll be talking about
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: how great he is because he has that. Potential but
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: all the great ones respond after a sour. Game and you,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Know joey put himself in a couple of tough spots In.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Philadelphia there are a couple of Goals i'm sure he'd
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: like to have, back and there were situations that he
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: could do nothing. About but when you allow five and
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: you only get through two periods that you have stings your,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: identity that's the blow to your ego that's gonna that's
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: gonna humble. You and then you see how the mental
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: capacity carries the goalie through the next. Start and he
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: was a plus plus across the. Board from the very
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: beginning of the. Game he was dialed. In he, was
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: he Was his handling of the fuck In winnipeg was.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: EXCEPTIONAL i, mean when when he's handling it like, that you,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: know and you know he's such an important part of
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: getting out of your zone and getting out cleanly and
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: then getting to either a rush or at least getting
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: the puck at the other end of the rink so
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: that you can descend well through the middle of the.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Ice you, know that's the team, game that's the ongoing
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: flow you. Through you see through sixty minutes of, hockey
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: it starts with the. Goalie so certainly you, know, yes
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: big saves all over the, place but little intangibles that
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: lead you to an outstanding. Performance and listening To lane
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: after the game talk about the, COURT i think they
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: can live with some of his, gaps AND i think as,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: fans we're going to have to live with some of
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: that because when you handle it as he, does which
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: is all the, time you're going to flub a Couple
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: it's is bound to. Happen but you take that because
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: he does more with the puck than most goalies.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Can With Lane lambert already instituting this news. SYSTEM i,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Mean i've heard from players around the room of just
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: how much of an impact he's made on how much
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: they respect him as a coach as. Well but to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you so, far what stands out about his principles that
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: have led here to this Record for what we were
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: seeing right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Well the first day of training, camp we all knew
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: there's a new. Sheriff but when you say, that you,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: know it sounds, stern and it sounds, Like, okay here
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: comes a no nonsense guy going to lay the law
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: down and this is my. Way you guys are going
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: to play this, way and if you, don't it's going
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: to be, punitive and we're going to skate and we're
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: going to do those. Things you, know those days are
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: kind of long. Gone he is a demanding, coach don't
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: get me, Wrong but his, details his, presentation and the
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: organization of the, players it leads to tremendous buy. In
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: SO i just, felt and we talked about this last
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: season over and over again that what happened to The
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: kraken because of their defensive alignment, miscues how they were
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: attempting to play offensively whatever it, is it led to
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: a disconnection which made the players become mentally vacant in my,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: opinion by the end of the. Season you, know let's
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: buy a large the same. Roster and the turnaround has
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: been dramatic because now these, GUYS i see it When
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: i'm around. Them they have. Life they have a jump
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: in their step, again and they had it the first
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: three days of training camp because they know how to
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: play and they understand they need to build trust with each,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: other you, know to play effective in all three zones
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: of the. Rink and that's basically what he's. Doing there's
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: no surprises. Here you, know hockey is. Hockey it always has,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: been and hockey has always been a game that you
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: play from your defensive zone. Out that's how you do.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: It that's the quote unquote right way to play. Hockey
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: and that's what they're, doing you. Know but it's leading
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: them to look good defensively in their own, ends look
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: really good through the middle of the, ice look out
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: standing on the way back where they sort out and
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: get in, position and they're not, scrambling and they're really.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Good and they're starting to get even better on the
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: fortune and you know what that's going to come and.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Go But i'll tell you what that's going to help
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: them with the with the, scheduling with the road, travel
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: with the, fatigue with. Injuries you, know you look at
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: all the guys that are. Out how do you? Win,
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: well you absolutely have to have great, goaltending But joey
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: The cord. Didn't it wasn't a goalie. Win it was
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: a team win and. Win joey did his. Job he
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: didn't make fifty saves and it was all. Him this
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: was a team, game and that team, GAME i believe
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: will finally help them at, home because that's the next.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Step can you become the team at? Home the games
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: traction and is dominant and hard to play against in
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: your own, building so you can utilize the fan base
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: and get on a run and reward the fans that
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: come to watch you. Play and even in the second
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: year the team struggled at. Home even when they had
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: thirty seven point, improvement made the playoffs and it was
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: a wonderful, run they were still just okay at. Home
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: they weren't great at. Home this team's got to be
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: a good home nice team to really take a step.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Forward, johnny how much do you also buy into the
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: theory that moving morning skate from the team's practice facility
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and community ice plugs back now To Climate pledge arena
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: also for game, days makes a big.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Difference, WELL i think it does a little. BIT i,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Mean i'm not a, player SO i can't really get
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: into how they all feel about. This it's kind of,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: like sure we have morning skate at. All you, know
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: you get a mixed bag of responses on. That some
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: players love to get out on the, ice need to
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: break up their. Day other guys would love to have
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: the morning off and would like to stay home and
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: just come in and play the. GAME i personally like
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: the fact that they're in the building BECAUSE i think
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: it gets them in the mindset of this is where we,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: play this is where we're going to play in a few,
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: hours this is how the ice. FEELS i have heard
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: from a couple of guys that there are, differences And
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: i'm not sure what they are because the both teams
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: play on the same ice, surface SO i never talk
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: about the conditions of the, ice whether it's positive or.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Negative there's a difference BETWEEN casei And Climate. Pledge so
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: if that's the, case then sure you should be playing
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: on the same or practicing in the morning on the
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: same pond you're playing at it. Night don't let the
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: opponents do. That SO i think it's kind of a mixed.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Bag it's working right. Now but The Stanley cup, champions you,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: know don't don't do the morning skate in their. Building
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: AND i watched them throughout the playoffs last, year you,
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: know do. Everything at the fact this, rink it didn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: hurt them at. All SO i think it's really something
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: you just take with a grain of salt and just
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: think about it a little bit and talk about. It
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: BUT i don't think it's that big of a deal either.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Way ahead Is, edmonton and we can talk all day
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: about what you have to watch out for the challenges
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: with the flying McDavid's and dry titles as. Well they're
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: still Missing Zach hyman here at this, point but they
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: come off a pretty impressive pinned into the corner and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: then flying right back to The suplex six' five Win
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: over montreal two. Nights ago so as far As what
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: edmonton brings here on an, Overall, scale johnny, to you
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the biggest challenge for this evening is what.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Nick it hard? On them, you know like, you know
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: don't give them. Any respect you can respect what, they've
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: done you can respect how great. They are, you know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: players know. You know this Is A western. Conference champion
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: it's a team that's gone deep now twice better loss
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: against the same, team twice still going through. Roster configuration
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: seems like every Year, with edmundton we talk about the.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Same thing the world class top heaviness of, the lineup
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: the goaltending that can come, and go the defensive corps
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: that supposedly is better now that They Have, jake wellman,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: you know on a long. Term deal They Did evan
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: bouchard and he's really struggled at the start of. The
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: season but the Game against montreal was a free game.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: For them it developed into coast to, Coast hockey it
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: developed into. Power plays that's what you. Can't DO so
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: i want to See the Kraken deny ice be strong
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: and play their team game and hopefully have enough energy
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: to put up that kind, of FIGHT because i don't
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: think over the Years the oilers have had that very.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Few times Even With dave hackstell's teams that were defensively
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: staunched very seldom for whatever Reason against edmonton that did
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: they play their games. The cracking If the kracking ever
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: play their Game, Against, edmonton no they've allowed the top
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: end to take the. Games over McDavid And dry settle
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: have had their Way. In seattle it's time for that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: To stop. You know it's time for the cracking to
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: play a, close checking grinding game where the oilers have to.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Earn it, you know they can't, you know wind it
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: up through the middle of. The ice they can't hang
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: on their power play to bail them out of. A game,
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: you know play a good close. Checking game when you're
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: on top of. The puck you're not out, of position
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: so you don't take penalley and see where it goes
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: and maybe you end up losing the. Game anyway but,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: for me that will be a different style of game
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: that the oilers, have seen and that will send a
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: message to them that it's A Different. Seattle kracking if it,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: doesn't happen then for, THE oilers i think they are
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: confident And at seattle they always, have been so, you
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: know that's kind of the THING that i think you're.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Up against it's the first, game back and you'll hear
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: a lot of that stuff about coming back off the
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: road and how hard it is and blah. Blah, blah okay,
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: that's fine but this is a new culture That the
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: cracking are trying. To forge so this is the perfect opponent.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: To play and if you look At the, oilers schedule
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: it's been as difficult as you Know the krakens in
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: the last week. Or, so, so yes they had a,
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: home game, You know, thursday night but they had been on,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: the road so, YOU know i think It's. EVEN stephen
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: i don't think there's any scheduling advantages for. Either side
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: the Advantages the crack in. Their home they're coming off.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: THE road i expect the crowd to energize. THEM tonight
