  Speaker 2: you caught Up With lane lambert's reaction after the Loss
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: on Monday to pittsburgh coach.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Talking about the. Shorthanded goals is there a common thread
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: among the three that you've given up in the last,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: three GAMES because i would think that might make it
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: easier To correct or is it a bunch of different
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: things or pucks bouncing off? Over sticks is there something
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that you see that.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Is, correctable well it's. Always correctable. You know we, you
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: know we have a face off Battle in utah the
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: other day and they end up coming out of that
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: with a three. On two we play that very. Poorly tonight,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: you know we knew that they were locking our bench
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: side with her forward or forward was going to step
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: and that was pre scouted for. Our players that was indicated.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: To them they saw a video, on it and, they
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: stepped got, A breakaway so we got to.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Be better that was a short hand. Of goal And Here's.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Lane lambert now as far as his view in, the lineup.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: The guys got it within one on the power play
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: in the rest of, the game would you maybe have
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: wanted to, see to, you know try to flip.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: The, RESULT well, i thought, you know when we got it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: WITHIN one i just didn't think we for, CHECKED well
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: i thought we were not. Connected enough whether it was
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: a lack of energy from coming off a, ROAD trip i,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: don't know, you KNOW but i just didn't think there
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: was a lot of connectivity to, our game and as,
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: a result we allowed them to break out of their zone.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Too quickly, you know we we got back, into it so,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: to speak where we had an opportunity to pull, our
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: goalie and we took ourselves right back out of it
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: with a. Failed, breakout.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Coach you kind of mentioned yesterday that there might be
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: some mixing up Of the lions today. And Shunop jaden
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: schwartz was for a lot of the game on the.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Fourth line how did you like? THAT combo i mean
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: they can avert it for. Two goals how'd you like
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: him playing with THOSE two.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: I liked i like the. Fourth line i'd like the
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: fourth line for. A while, you know we need the
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: other lines to.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Be better so this IS what i think beginning. Part
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: one what frustrates a lot of, fans Here and i'll
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: go back here to the. Shorthanded Goal, chandler stevenson who's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: been great at, producing offense and we all know how
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: well he is that the face off circle he had
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a clear giveaway And the Connor do or turnover and,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: then boom a.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Shorthanded goal This Isn't lane lambert.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Singling one, guy out but across, the board it's sending
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a clear message here to, everyone else because aside here
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: From The ben, meyers line, he said everyone's got to.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: BE better, i mean You think i'm making this, up,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: HERE folks i mean at, first off one coach said
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it to look at the metrics here from last night
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: five on five. Shot Attempts schwartz meyers enter ten nine
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to three in. Their favor, everyone Else cock obaneers everly
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: outshot nine, To two Tolben, And stevenson goodrou outshot eleven,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to five, McCann right catton outshot five. To one then
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there's the zillion other line Combos That lane lambert tried,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: last night and the blender, WHO said i mean it's
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: like training camp all over again with a lineup that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: really hasn't been much in place here since about till
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: roughly three. Games AGO but, i, mean hey when you
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: CHASE the nhl, bottom line you ten fade. Too MUCH
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and i think this is the most candid we've ever
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: heard And Seen, lane lambert who's prest accountability from, day
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: one culture from, day one but he's working with a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: lot of moving parts.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Now, GUYS yeah i think, He's.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: FRUSTRATED mike i think he's frustrated that he's seen this
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: team at their best and what they. Can do and
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: when you don't, see that, you're disappointed. You're FRUSTRATED so i.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: GET it i think it's not necessarily, one thing but
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: it always starts. With leadership if your leaders, aren't going
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: it's tough to it's tough to have success in. This
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: league so it's always going to start from, from leadership
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: and then you look, for more and certainly the fourth
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: line is one area you look for. For more but
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: when the fourth line, is doing, you know the best
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: they can do, and contributing but there are other pieces that. Are,
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: missing again. That's FRUSTRATING so i get his position on.
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: THOSE questions i think it. STARTS there i think it
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: it spreads beyond in terms of, you know the starts
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: have not been good over this these last, five uh for.
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: Whatever reason and and and You know lane will say is, It,
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: fixable yeah, It's fixable but he can't. Fix it the
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: players have to, fix, It right so until they decide
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: to come out with an intensity that outmatches the team they're,
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: going against until they decide to punish the team physically
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: in the first five to, seven minutes especially, at home
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: to get the crowd, behind it until they decide to
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: not give up the first or second goals of the of. The,
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: game uh those bad starts are going. To continue and
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: and those are a couple of areas where you can.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: Change, THAT yeah i think for me listening, to that
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: it goes back to a lot of what we. Talk about,
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: you know there really aren't. Egregious mistakes these are these
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: are small areas that, you know you're forty five games
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: in and you can hear in his, voice, like guys
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: we shouldn't be doing this forty five games in. Right
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: that that THAT'S What i THAT'S what i heard From
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: from lane in. Those COMMENTS and i think the frustration,
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: of hey we knew what they were going to do ON,
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: the pk we, watched it we knew this was coming
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: and we fell into, that. Trap right that is that,
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: is uh, you know the laps of the judgment whatever
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: you want to, call it momentary lapse. Of judgment this
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: isn't a bad, hockey team but, this team more often,
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: than not will let one mistake two mistakes end up
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: in the back of. Their net and we've, seen that
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: whether that be some bad passes when the. Defensive zone
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: all of these things. Are fixable all of these things.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Are fixable and, YOU know i don't have the comments
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: in front, of me but he a couple of, GAMES ago, I,
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: think mikey you tweeted it out about, the mentality, you
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: know about coming out four or five shifts later and
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: having that same mentality After the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Utah, game Yeah the.
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: Utah, game yeah When when Winterton and Myers and milansen.
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: WERE together i remember listening to a couple of, folks
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: Online the Daily face. Off people they were talking about
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: how that line was the, identity line and that line
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: the way that. They played you're hoping that that filters
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: into the rest of your lineup and the rest of,
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: your TEAM and i don't think we've seen that in
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: the last couple of Outings for seattle.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: More deep, stuff here and we're going to get back.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: To goaltending let's just kind of compare the numbers since
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: out Of the, christmas break because they are what they are.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Right Now philip grubauer seven games say percentage nine. Two
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Five joey decord six games say percentage eight. EIGHT four
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: i think paraphrasing This lane lambert wasn't too thrilled at
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: some of the goals that were, led in Especially, By
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: DECORD and i think you had to kind of look
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: at this here from a. Contextual matter was it a?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Topable shot was? He screen was it? Deflected here, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: guys where are we at with goaltending, right now at
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: this clear and.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: Present, Day, YEAH mike i looked at the last five
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: games for. Each goaltender of those five of those ten
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: five for, each goaltender six of them have had save
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: percentages below. Nine hundred AND again i go back to my.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: Previous comment for this team, to win our goaltenders need
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: to be in the nine hundreds just to have a chance. At, Winning,
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: now yeah when, they drop when they drop, below that
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: you'd love to see this team step up, and say, Don't,
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: worry joey. Don't worry phil we. Got you we're gonna
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: put five or six in tonight and we'll win six five.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: Five FOUR but i don't think you can count on that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: Very often so if these goaltenders aren't playing above nine hundred,
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: save percentages it just doesn't put this team in a
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: position to win. Hockey games that's. Number one number two
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: is specifically in the Game. AGAINST pittsburgh i looked at
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: three of the. Five goals there was nepty netter, as
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: well but three of the five goals there were shots
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: that went. Through screens now you, can say as, A
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: goaltender i couldn't see, the puck and at least on one,
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: of them you Could see joey, looking left, looking right
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: trying to see around. The screen and at a, certain
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: POINT and i have this from talking, to goaltenders at a,
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: certain point when you can't see the, shot coming all
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: you can do is anticipate when, it's coming listen for,
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: the sound and then get into the. Butterfly, position well
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: what happens when you go into the, butterfly position both
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: top corners are. Wide open that's where those goals. Were
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: Scored so i'm not putting It On joey tocorb that
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: three of those five goals were, his fault they. Were
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: screens my point is is that when this golten ing
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: duo and Eventually the trio isn't able to keep the
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: same percentage, of nine they don't put this team in
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: the position to win.
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: Hockey, games yeah you, Know this it's it's very unfortunate
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: because it's almost as if, our goaltending this, team's goaltending
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: is not allowed.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: To have a.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Bad day they're not allowed to have.
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: A slump and that's, unfortunate, because like how many times
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: have we talked about players, not scoring, you know to
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: two guys, In Particular jade schwartz is on a nine game.
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: Point Round shane Wright gott, An assists he's got five
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: points his last twenty, three, games right but other players
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: are picking. Them Up and i'm not trying to call those,
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: guys out, you, know specifically but those are the two
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: that are the top of my mind. Right now goaltending
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: guys are, gonna slump, you know even The Even, andrey
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: Vasilevski Even, igors sterk even the best goaltenders that we
• 11:50
  Speaker 9: have in, Our League Jay, ottenerconnor hellibook even those guys
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: are going to have a down week or a, down
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: month and but they've got the pieces around them to pick.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: Them up and we and we've said. It before this
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: is not me talking smack like this is this has
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: been said from coaches. And players our goaltenders have to
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: be our, best PLAYERS and i think that sometimes can
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: be a little bit of an unfair weight to put.
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: On them eighty two times. A year you Need A
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: patrick wavian goaltending performance in order to win three, To, Two,
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: right like at a, certain point we're gonna need, Four
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: goals we're gonna need. Five goals we're Gonna need, you
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: Know the kracking have given up twelve goals in their last. Two,
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: Games right they've been outscored twelve to six in the last.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: Two games it would be nice If the cracking could
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: outscore team twelve to six over a two, Game, Stretch
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: right that would, Be, Nicest right but it's just not
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: how this team. Is constructed we've talked about the offensive
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: struggles all. Season long it's just not. This team so
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: it is the unfortunate weight that the goaltenders have. To
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: BEAR and i say all of this, To Say joey
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: decord in the last couple of games is probably going through,
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: an average normal slump that anybody in the course of
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: an eighty two game season will. Go, through right this is.
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: Nothing egregious this isn't Like Man joey decord, is watched.
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: You know this is This Is joey decord Playing in
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: january with, you know twenty some odds starts under. His
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: belt he's going to, Get back he's gonna get back
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: to playing the way that we've seen him play all.
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: Year long but it's just magnified Because the cracking had
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: been losing games.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: All right that brings us here to our second matchup
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: of the. Regular season these two teams put it CLOSE
• 13:45

  Speaker 2: NHL stars, i mean when's the last time you've seen
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: or heard of, a defenseman this young who was?
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: THIS talented.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: I haven't, i mean he's worth the price of. The
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: mission if you're on the fence about coming down to,
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: watch it he's worth coming. To watch he's eighteen, years
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: old and, it's funny like not only the eighteen, years
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: old he barely turned eighteen before the season started And
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: he's september, five birthday so like he is as young
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: as young, could be which is why every time he,
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: does something he's the youngest player to ever, do it
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: because there are not a lot of people that have
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: played the game younger than. He had, but realistically, you
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: know when the draft happened last year And the islanders
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: won the lottery jumped ten spots to give the number,
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: one pick, you know a lot of people, were, going
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: boy it's too Bad the islanders won the lottery in
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: one of these years where there's no. Generational talent that was,
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: the thought because there Was no, machelus Celebrating No connor
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: magarity even, next Year like gavin McKenna's being build with
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: somebody to be a generational. Ted talent but there was
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: really no clear cut number one for a lot of
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: people coming into, this draft and the thing to Remember
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: Is matthew shaffer got hurt. Last year he started the Year,
• 16:08
  Speaker 10: with mono he went through, a lot he broke his
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: collar Going To. World juniors he only played seventeen games.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: Last Year If matthew shaffer had played a full season
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: last year in his, draft year there would have been
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: absolutely no question that this is a. GENERATIONAL talent I
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: think i think that they were robbed of watching him
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: in his, draft year and so not everybody was on
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: the same page as universally as Maybe a badada Or.
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: A celebrini, but boy, oh boy is this kid as
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: good as he could possibly imagine. Doing things, you know
• 16:38
  Speaker 10: he's putting, up points but he's, Also playing he's playing
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: twenty four minutes, the nights he's getting a top pair
• 16:42
  Speaker 10: matchups against the opposition's best forward and he has taken
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: it all and done an. Extremely well so it's. Really
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: impressive it would be impressive to do what he's doing
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: at a twenty two to twenty, Three year well he's
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: doing it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: At eighteen it's.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Just phenomenal delicate.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Balance here as far As the, olympic roster which just came,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: OUT recently, I Mean team canada is always going to
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: have a household list of Who's Who's, Drew Dowdy thomas
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: harley Down to, Cale Mccarr, Josh Morrissey, Travis Sandheim, shay. Theodore,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Etc here but there has been room left open for
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Those like, macklin celebrating still very very very young in
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: their career to Make this olympic squad and see what they.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Can do schaefer was, so close didn't.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Make it how did you process seeing him being left
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Out The team canada roster For.
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: THE olympics, i mean the fact that a guy who's
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: still else to Play In world junior's next year was
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: left off This year's. OLYMPIC roster i think the fact
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: that he was in the conversation is. Just remarkable but, you,
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: KNOW realistically i think that he is going to play
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: in Probably every olympics from four years from now until he's.
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: Done playing, but again this is a guy who was
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: not on, ANYBODY'S radar i think For the olympic team
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: over the summer and in, you know what he's Done,
• 17:56
  Speaker 10: In october November and december was enough To Show team
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: cannon set of All the canadian born players playing defense
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: In The National, hockey league that he was probably in
• 18:05
  Speaker 10: the top ten and they took eight.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Of them pretty.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Remarkable Stuff branden berg joining us right NOW Again tv
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: voice Of the islanders also seen ON the NHL on
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: tnt here for kracking.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: This Morning the islanders come in right now second In.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: The, metro division pretty far back still of First, place
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: carolina but yet only three points ahead Of the flyers
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: who are on the outside looking in of this. Playoff,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: picture brendan where do you see this picture playing OUT,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: With Gm matthew darsh and the trade deadline coming After the.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Olympic, BREAK yeah.
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: I mean this WAS always i think going to be
• 18:40
  Speaker 10: a transitional type Year With matthew darsh coming in and
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: kind of inheriting a roster that was primarily built by,
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: his predecessor Remul. La morello, but realistically this team has
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: shown that they are in the conversation to be a,
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: playoff team and once you, get in you. Never KNOW
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: so i think what we're Looking After matthew darsh moving
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: forward here towards the trade deadline is that he's going
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: to be open to, adding pieces but it's not going
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: to be at the expense of. The future this is
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: not a team that probably is a one, piece away
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: we need to rent a guy in order to Win A.
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: STANLEY cup i don't think they're at that part of
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: where they are as, a FRANCHISE and I think mattie's
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: very well aware. Of THAT so i think they're probably
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: looking at trying to, add players but not in the.
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: Short term if it's a good hockey trade where they
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: can get a guy with, some term or get a
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: guy that they can sign, moving forward that's going to help,
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: their team but. THEY'RE not i don't think giving up
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: first round picks of this year's deadline to try and
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: make an all out push, for it BUT that i
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: still think they do think they need. To add They
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: Lost kyle palmurray for. The season that's one of their
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: top six forwards. Is down he's not coming back no
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: matter how long. They play They Lost, alexander romanov but
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: top foard Defenseman. In november he's not, going back at
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: least for the regular season and probably into. The playoffs
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: so even if you're just going to try and get
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: the team back to where he thought they would be
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: at the start of, the year they could.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Use a couple, of pieces one up from one.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Of back taking a look Across The.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Eastern conference, Right now detroit Is Pressing tampa bay for
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: first place In. The atlantic Pittsburgh Under dan muse and
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: what was supposed to be a transitional year their third
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: place right now In The, metro division and they look
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: pretty solid a couple of days ago Over At Climate.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Pledge arena then you have the Red Hot buffalo sabers
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: With Gm yarmo keka line and they're back in the.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Playoff mix and then teams Like the capitals and the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: panther is on the outside. Looking in who surprised you
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: most either way so far In The?
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: Eastern, CONFERENCE yeah I think pittsburgh's got to be up
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: there at the top of the list, for me just
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: in the lack of expectations coming into the year and
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: how they've performed against. Those expectations and They Traded, tristan
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: jari they Bring In, stewart skinner but, you know they
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: were Missing At guinea mulkin for a. Long time but
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: It's It's, sidney crosby and it's it's again another another
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: piece of evidence of How Great sidney crosby is to
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: be able to put a team on his back and
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: get them to where.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: They are, you know.
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: At the beginning of the year was all is he
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: going to finish the season in his career With the
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: penguins or are they going to be so bad that
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: he's going to want to get out and go to a?
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: Playoff contender and here we are making sure that that's
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: not even a conversation that anybody's having Because Of will,
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: crosby's done so a tip of the cap. TO him
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: i think that's got to be the. MOST surprising I,
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: think detroit certainly taking a step has. Been surprising the
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: beginning of, the YEAR when i saw Them And john
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: gibson was not, PLAYING well, i thought, oh boy there
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: and in and again they're going to miss. Playoffs Again
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: But john gibson starting to look like the guy they Got,
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: from anaheim and they're, very much very much in the.
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: Ticket THING so i think the more surprising things have
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: been the teams that. AREN'T in i think it's Been
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: the rangers And, The PANTHERS and, i mean Obviously the panthers,
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: have INJURIES but i think some of, those Teams even
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: montreal that was going to be the next step that
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: made me push For. THE vision I think toronto's been, a.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: DISAPPOINTMENT right i think so most of the, Surprising teams,
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: and obviously if you're going to have teams that are
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: gonna surprise you into a, playoff spot they're knocking teams
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: out of a playoff spot to so the other end.
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: Of THAT but i really think the teams that are
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: most surprising in the In the east are teams that
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: are not in the playoffs.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Right now appropriately under Head coach Patrick wag golten has
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: been pretty strong here For the islanders. This Season, david
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: riddick of course Gave the kraken fits last, time out
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: but what do we make out of? His Season And
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: ilius rokens, as well who's been at the top of
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the heap of what feels like almost every stack category.
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: This, SEASON brendan, i mean it's not understating it to
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: Say That elias thurokens should be on every ves in,
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: a ballot and he should probably be on some heart
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: ballots at this point for the way he has played.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: This season he's been, that good and he started the.
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Year poorly he started, the year, YOU know i think
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: he had an eight sixty something stay Percentage.
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: In october it was it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: Was bad but since the calendar Slip, to november he
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: is the sole reason Why the islanders are where, they
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: Are And david ridick. As well the thropan went down
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: where he played seven games in, a row he. Was
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: fantastic he gools against Average for riddick and torokn. Are
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: equals the stay percentages is. Close enough so we really
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: What the islers have done Here with throken is, you
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: know they've seeded expectations because, you know they lead the
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: league in high danger, champces allowed but they also lead
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: the league at high beinger. Stay percentage so they're giving
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: up a lot. Of chances they're giving up good chances
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: and more times than not their goalie.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: Is there but that allows them to play kind of a.
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: Different game when you have that guy behind you that,
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: you know if you can take a risk or make
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: a mistake that he's going to belly you out more times.
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: Than not it kind of allows you to play a little,
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: bit freer maybe push for a little. More Often So
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: matthew schafer's, been Incredible bullhoor beet is having one of
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: the best seasons he's, ever Had And ilius rokin's still
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: even saying that hands down The AVEN ors mvp and
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: should be should be in a lot of as in
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: a conversation at, this.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Point second match up with the season, coming up crack
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and loss one nothing in a shootout Back, in november
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: and what was the end of back to back for
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: them also On a sunday.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: AFTERNOON game, i mean would.

• 24:09
  Speaker 10: A Team the islanders are a team that struggles to
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: score at. Certain points we just talked about how a
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: good broken.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: It's in, so yeah.
