• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to three week days on ninety three to three KJARFM.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more about how we wrap our heads around
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the last two games out of the break, the direction
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of the roster potentially in the next few days, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: much more.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Ian Forness joining us in just a bit.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: The Kraken fell five to one at Saint Louis Thursday night,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: ending five straight on the road and the first two
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: games out of the Olympic break and back to back fashion.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Dylan Holloway picked up a hat trick in the game.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: The only krack and goal came courtesy Copo Coco in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: his first game back since the Winter Olympics, that tied
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the game at one in period one.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: The power play could.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Use a big turnaround coming up empty as well Thursday night.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: They are zero for seven in their last two games
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and the crack and looking for a massive turnaround, especially
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: early in games. Looking to get out of a stretch
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: of four straight games giving up the first goal of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the game before.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: We get to ian your side.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Coach Lane Lambert with his thoughts after Thursday's loss in
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a high vent game both ways.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: We certainly had our chances. I thought they botaling made
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: some saves. Our power plays dry right now last couple
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: of games coming out of the break, although they did
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: create a ton of momentum for us which allowed us
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: to uh score, you know, our first goal. But it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: the chances against that uh are my concern right now.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: There's too many of them. You you said this morning
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: that there's a similar team in terms of size and
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: the way they go to the net. H How do
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: you think your guys handled some of the NetFront play,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and I don't think we handled it well at all.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I think uh, I think you know, these two games
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: here with Dallas and Saint Louis, like I said, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: thought we gave up more interior chances than we usually do.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: We've just got to be better. That's the bottom line.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: We can say whatever we want, We've got to win
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: more battles. There was too much individual stuff that was lost.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, I've said it before,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: this game comes down to winning your individual battles and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: we just weren't good enough in that area in both
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: those games. And we've got to look forward to Saturday.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: We've got the Vancouver Canucks and a huge home game.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: We've got to be ready.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Did you expect maybe more of a challenge, did was
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: hope or more of a challenge than maybe maybe expected.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: No, he played well, He plays the puck well. We
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: dumped the puck poorly. We couldn't establish a four check.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: You know, you don't get a lot of offensive zone
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: time if you can't get the we can't establish for check.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, uh, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: he plays it well and that was the challenge we
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: knew was presented. We just kept shooting it to him.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: What did you notice about how the Blues defenders were
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: working that made it challenging both ways for the guys. Well,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: they've got a real good back end there they move
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and you know, they joined their rush very well. They
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: can all skate, you know, so uh, you know they're there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: The fact that they had good gaps, they were in
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: our face and when the you know, when the puck
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: was turned over, they transitioned. Well, you know, it's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: good skating group back there.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, so after all of that, we're finally back home.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: First home games January twenty ninth. I'm not sure if
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: he and Vanessa's got to get the high. My name
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is Stickers out here for the rest surrounding his desk
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: on the other side of mine for the Crack and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Hockey Network.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: But we'll see what happens here.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He joins us here by carphone, I believe may or
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is that correct?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, carphone, here we go. Here we are.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Do you have one of the souped up souped up
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: set of wheels now that has like the full blown
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: end to end dashboard.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Now that it's basically like a MacBook on wheels.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: No I I okay, many of the anim that has
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: a little screen that says Apple I play.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I got, I've got, I've got a Nissan SUV part
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: right now outside of my house. I'm back in my
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: home studio here doing this and the Apple car play
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: does just fine, just fine.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's perfect, It's perfect.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So Ian, let's go back here to the last two
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: nights and what of our colleagues use the words window
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of opportunity in daytime coverage here to describe this situation.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And the facts are this Wednesday, the Kraken face a
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Dallas team with no Miko Rantanen, no rope Hints, no
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Radick Foxa, no Tyler Sagan. They had ahl call ups
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: until on the other side. Next night they faced the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis team who hadn't played in twenty two days,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: fourteen points out of the playoffs, and no Robert Thomas
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the crack and lost bo games by a combined total
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: of nine to two. Disappointing is one word I've suggested
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that you can use here for a stretch like this.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: What have you made out of it?
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: I think you have to take the two games separately.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I think you look at Dallas and you say, yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: they had a couple people out, including Secretariat, the thoroughbred
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: known as the finish right here, but they also had
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: two They also had two thirty goal scorers, a top
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: flight defensemen, two of them actually a goaltender that has
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: had Seattle's numbers since day one, and they just showed
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: why they're one of the elite teams in the AHL
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: because they're so damn deep. I can live with the
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Dallas loss, not necessarily how it's looked visually, but I
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: think you can live with that loss. Saint Louis is
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: a different story, Mike. In my opinion, no excuse and
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: not only is there no excuse for the loss. If
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: you drop a four to three dicision, weird stuff happens,
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: maybe a couple of bad goals, whatever, right, you know, gosh, man,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: that was an opportunity lost. And as part of hockey
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: and teams are still, even if they're kind of out
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: of it, can still come up and fight. You. You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Jordan Kyri's good. Obviously, you bring a guy in all
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: the way off the eight injured list, he'scor as a
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: hat trick you know, still a good hockey player, et cetera.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: But that was a team that came into the game,
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: you know, either thirty first or thirty second combined in
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: goals against the average stay percentage, et cetera, et cetera.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Not a good defensive team, not a good team to
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: keeping the fuck out of their own net, and yet
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: you just got dominated. I think Edze said it on
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: TV last night, and I agree, the better hockey team.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: There's no doubt who it was, like, not even a questioning.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: The better hockey team was last night. And you know
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Wayne talked about it after the game. I thought his
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: comments because Edzoe talked about it a lot on our
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: TV broadcast. Joe Hopper really plays the fuck a lot. Yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: plays it well. And actually the funny thing with with
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Hoper is he actually can misplay it a lot more
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: like Joey plays it well and a lot and all
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: those things too. Joey plays it well. Hoper is is
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: a depth of playing it. But he says a aggressive
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: if not more so than the court, gets himself in trouble.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: But as Lane said, when you're not working hard on
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: the poor check and you're allowing the goaltender to play
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: the fuck and this was something they scouted at, something
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: they talked about as something they are coached on, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: yet they just ignored and they took the easy way out.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: That's a problem. I mean, I think I thought his demeanor,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: I thought Lange's demeanor and what he said about that
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: specifically last night. Although we did talk about keeping the
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: fuck out of their own net and all that being
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: a big concern too, but I thought that just speaks volume.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I just I just don't know how that is the
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: result you get last night or on Friday or Thursday
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: or whatever they expating was Thursday. I don't know how
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: you get that result. And maybe Mike more importantly, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna look at it from this standpoint for
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: just a second. I'm gonna look at it from an
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: almost a non hockey standpoint, if I can. If he
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: was indulge me, I, you and I were doing this
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: this secon, but now I do a daily segment on
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: my radio show. We both worked on the broadcast radio
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: and TV. We both loved the game, want the team
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: to succeed, want the team and support to grow in
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: our city. And you know what, the opportunity lost was
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: not so much points. You can get those back. What
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: you can't get back is the first impression. You can't
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: get back to first impression. How many new fans tuned
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: in on Thursday because the game was on King. It
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: wasn't even on Kong. It was on the main channel
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: of the twenty or so games we have on King.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: How many people tuned into King that were new hockey fans,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: new crafting fans potentially? How many people tuned into Prime
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Network and watched it on the stream because they had
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: done it? Yet they have Prime and everyone has Prime
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: in America. They watch football on Prime. They oh, I
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: can watch the screaming move. I watched that. How many
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: people did that post Olympics and turned it off whenever
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: first period, second period, early third, whatever, Like that's the
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: opportunity loss. I know players don't care about that, but
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: the guys, people of the men and women at the
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: front office too, that was an opportunity loss. And frankly,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: it's an excuse me. It's just it's just inexcusable, the
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: lack of wants you in that game. And I listened
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: to laying on postgame Thursday. I heard a coach it
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: was kind of a wisand saying, listen, man, we gave
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: it to him. We just didn't have the effort. We
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: didn't have the wherewithal to get some certain things done.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: And whether that's playing in your own end or a
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: heart on the poor check, it just wasn't there. That's
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: that's so disappointing. That's really disappointing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Ian. They could have already arrived.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: The team has at a conclusion with where they want
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to go with this roster. I think by the time
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that this conversation is uploaded, posted, or it could still
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: be about a matter of a couple of days away,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: depending upon where the Vancouver game goes, where the Carolina
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: game goes as well on Monday as well. But do
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you look at this next week before the trade deadline
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: any differently now than say, versus a few days ago.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Not yet, You're still in a playoff position as we
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: taped this today, even but I kind of thought this
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: about Saint Louis now maybe I have to look ahead
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: and readjust I think Vancouver. I mean, if you can't
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: beat the Canucks or get two points to get to
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: the canucks thirty second game in the NHL, if you
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: can't do that on Saturday, then maybe your your thoughts
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: kind of change a little bit. But I do think
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: that there's so much Emphis is put on getting the
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: postseason by upper level management that maybe you have to wait.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, the problem is, Mike Easy. You well know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: before the trade deadline, you've got Vancouver, You've got absolute
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: juggernaut of a Carolina team rolling into town Monday, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: then you've got this pesky Blues team again, so you
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: have three games to kind of figure it out. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: think if you don't go two and one and those
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: three with what the schedule looks like afterwards, you know
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: you still have to see the two teams from Florida
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: and we'll hold it away. You've got Nashville coming up
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: week and Tuesday. That's kind of all of a sudden
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: catching fire. I think if you don't go minimum two
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: and one, then I think you readjusted probably what your
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: thoughts on.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Ianfinet joining us here on cracking this morning ahead of
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the Kraken and the Vancouver Canucks here for this sevening
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and I'll get to Vancouver.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Here in just a bit.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But Ian, I'm really curious how the mount Vanier's line
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: comes out in this game, based on circumstances here and
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: last game Vaniers underline numbers were fine, but the cracking
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: are still looking for some offense from him. Jordan Everley
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: is well in that mix. Jared McCann as well in
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: that mix. What line gets the most of your attention
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: heading into tonight?
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean your so called top line's been invisible
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: the first two games out of the break, right, I mean,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: it's just been invisible. So they've got to lead the way.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: We've made a lead about the fourth line, and rightfully
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: so like show up every night. I don't think listen,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: there's gonna be odd guys out. We all understand that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: And it was Melanson on Thursday. The record speaks herself
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: with the kids in the lineup. Why is he not
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: in the lineup? Yeah, you know there's some other passengers
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: along the way. He's never a passenger. And I mean,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: really have four guys in the fourth line if you
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: want to do Freddy there, although I think you know
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: you don't. Freddy's should be higher up in the lineup.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: But your top I mean, as good as the fourth
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: line has been. They set the toelln they go out
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: and work hard. They can't four check. They do four check,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: they do push pressure to put pressure on the opposing
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: team to their own end. Your top line still has
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: to score, you know, I mean, they just have to
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: score period into story, and they have to put the
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: puck in the net, and they have to create offense.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: The only offense they created the last few nights, we're
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: on a power play that went over seven. Now they
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: the high danger chances on the power play weren't very good,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: but they did have fuck possession. But outside of that,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: they did nothing. Five on five those three nothing zero
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: zip zilch if. And the reality is, and it doesn't
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: matter if Seattle cracking for any other team, if you
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: have a true number one line, which Seattle does, I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: and then pretty much every sense of the word, that's
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: the one line that stays intact if everyone's healthy, no
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: matter what.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: If you have three number one line Seattle or any
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: other thirty one other teams and that line isn't producing,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: you're probably not gonna have a lot of success. They
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: have to they have to produce.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see if the power play can snap out
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: of it. Here over seven since the Olympic break ended.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Maddy Beniers, by the way, we'll see if he can
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: get back on the tracks, because history says he's had
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: some great games against Vancouver six goals by the way,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: in just fourteen lifetime games here against the Canucks. Ian
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: For me, Vancouver always presents a conflict. They've had issues defensively.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: But one of the guys who have been a handful
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: against the crack and in the series is Connor Garland.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Who knows how long he's here.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Virtually anyone reportedly is on the trade block right now
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: up there, except for really Philip Hearonic. Even brock Bester
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: has reportedly agreed to waive this no movement clause. There's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be no Tyler Meyers though here for this game.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So again we go back here, I think to the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Saint Louis game. The biggest key is how soon can
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the Kraken get on the jump out of the gate.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: What about the big key for you?
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I say a good start, because you know both
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: games in Dallas Saint Louis, they got off the four
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: starts in the first period the first you know, ten
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: minutes of each of those games. Four and then I
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: think four starts the period you know last last night,
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: and going back even too, you know the Dallas game,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: they've given up I believe, but is it now? It's
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: four goals before a period is two minutes old in
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: the first two games coming up, you know, various points
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: second period, third period, and then even to look at
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: the uh end of the first period in Dallas, they
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: gave up the first goal of the game with less
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: than two minutes to go. End the period, starts the period.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: You got to you gotta finish strong, you gotta start strong.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: And and you know you're coming home, you'll have your
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: crowd back on your side, you'll have the energy in
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: the building. All those things are going to be true. Yeah,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: get off to a good start, you know, and and
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: and put some pressure and and really here's a sting,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Like Mikey, I guess the thing that's crazy for me
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: is you have you know, you should have a sense
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: of urgency, right, you shouldn't have a sense of urgency.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: And it felt like it feels like they haven't had
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: a sense urgency for whatever reason, you know, coming out
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: and it's there. We've seen it. We saw it. You
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: know the two wins they had before the break Vegas
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: in La Let's go, where's that team? Yeah, that team exists.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: That team exists, but we didn't see it on the
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: road trip. So you have a sense of urgency.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Come out.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Vancouver's playing for nothing. They're looking over their shoulder. Guys
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: think they might get moved. Guys may want to get moved.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: There's probably guys that want to get the heck out
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: of Vancouver, right, So put these guys away early, Put
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: them away early. If tike care of business all right.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Finally, good to be home. Six games in a row,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: at home on tap. Mayor have a good one back
• 18:45

  Speaker 2: Rangers off of waivers on Friday, the crack at, of course,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: helping him break through for his NHL debut three years

  Speaker 2: NHL games, all with the Cracket. Defenseman Vince Dunn also
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: set to play in career game number six hundred tonight
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: in the NHL, taken on the Canucks, a team that
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: he has found plenty of success against, torching Vancouver for
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: seven points in the last five games, all of those
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: but won by the way coming at even straight. Moving
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: on here for the matchup against Vancouver. It is the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: third of this regular season series. The Krack in one
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: zero and one this year against the Canucks, both matchups
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: going right down to the wire and to a shootout.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: They're facing Vancouver, a team that has been really in
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: one all season long penalty kill in the NHL, goals
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: four twenty ninth goals against last in the NHL. They
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: are two six and two in the last ten games
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and facing plenty of questions ahead of the trade deadline
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: coming next Friday at noon. So this game certainly no
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: shortage of storylines as a Crack and facing their closest
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: geographic rival. Looking forward to having you once again the
• 20:24
