• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for the Kraken tonight.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah I thought it was a great response a great
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: way to to start this road trip and I thought
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: we just played really connected and we're skating really well
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and and executed and finished our opportunities.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: From the first period, it was a bit of a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: sloppy start for you. Lane Lambert talking about the game
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: against Vegas, some things that needed to be cleaned up.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Where did you feel was the turning point for you
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: from that first period to the second period in that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: big four goal, second for Seattle?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it was our best first period there,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and I thought in the second we started skating north,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and that put a lot of pressure on their D,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and we got some chances from there, and I think
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: that was kind of the start of it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Benny Leighton, that second period, you get a two-on-one with
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Shane Wright. You opt for the shot. I think it
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: was the 16th time you guys scored a glove hand
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: on John Gibson today. Did you guys see some film?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Did you talk about it? Is it just something you
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: know about John Gibson?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: No. I think, if I remember correctly, the scouting report was.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Opposite, too.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: That's interesting.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Just happened to be.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the different lines this season,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that kid line of Katton and Wright and Kapokako. They've
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: done some really good things. Matty Beneers and Mackie Samaskewicz,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: they've done some really good things. And now here tonight,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: your line combining for seven points. We talked to Ryan
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Winterton about this, but I'll ask you the same question.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: What about your line is clicking so well? How are
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you guys able to have such chemistry?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, as players, we just kind
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of mesh well together. You know, had a chance to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: play with each other quite a bit last year, too. And,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: you know, I think we all just bring different skill
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: sets and wide skill sets, too. And we're able to do,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of things that make us click.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Benny, seven points across the three of you tonight. What
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: does that mean to you guys as a line in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: terms of taking the pressure off that top six? Not
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to say those guys played poorly. Maybe they had tougher
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: matchups on the ice. But when you guys can take
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that pressure off from an offense standpoint. What does that
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: mean to you guys?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I think it's huge for any team. You know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: obviously we know that they're getting the hard matchups and,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, for us to chip in offensively takes a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: lot of pressure off them. And, you know, so I
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: think it's huge.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: For our group.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Finally, Benny, a big tone setting win to begin this
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: road trip. Looking at these next four games, what's going
