  Speaker 1: For the final time today.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Welcome back.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's out of climbing Plage Arena alongside Al Kaneski. I
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: am ever at fits you. It was a four to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: two win for the Seattle Kraken over the New Jersey Devils,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: as they will split that season series one and one.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Kraken had struggled against the Devils in recent games coming
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in they were zero five and one of their last
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: six played against the Devil, so Seattle getting back in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the win column there. They picked up two big points
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: here in the standings, and now it's off to Washington
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and Toronto to wrap up this six game homestand for Seattle,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: potentially the last trip for Alex Ovechkin here to Seattle
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: coming up on Tuesday. We'll obviously wait and see what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the future holds for him, but this could potentially be
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: a history making moment for Seattle and the Kraken fans
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: coming up here on Tuesday. But for now, we will
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: go down to the locker room. Ryan Lingern standing by two
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: thirds of a Gordy hall Patrick almost here tonight as
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: he was able to put the wood and the lumber
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: down a couple of Devil's players. Ryan, thanks for the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: time man, just take us through this game here tonight
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: in your thoughts on this performance.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good game, you know, obviously a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: big one for us where we're at in the standings.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, I thought we came out with the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: right mindset. We knew it was gonna be kind of
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a low event game. You know, they got a lot
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: of skilled guys on their team though, but I thought
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: we did a good job of getting in front of
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: them and limiting them. And yeah, I'm start to finish
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: it was a good one, Ryan.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It was a low event game.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: But you ended up plus three in the plus column today,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: obviously involved in each of the cracking goals.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: What was going right for you tonight in your game? Yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I mean I think it was just, you know, the
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: team in general. I think we were just playing the
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: right way. You know, we were getting pucks up, chipping
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it in, getting in on the fore check. And you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: obviously I've been playing with Riker now the last couple
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: of games, and what a really easy guy to play with.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Obviously a great shot by.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Him on that goal there, and so yeah, I think
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: we're doing well together right now. And like I said,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: as a team, that was a good game for us.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You know, Seattle is still a fairly new NHL market
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and a lot of and are trying to still understand
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: some of the nuances of the game. I want to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: take us through that fight with you and and Dawson Mercer.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: What goes into that situation? I mean, what is said
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that you can say on the air anyway, but what
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: is said? What what leads into something like that?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think you know, I had a
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you know, decently hard hit there on Palot and you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Mercer approaches me after that and he was just kind
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: of like, you want to go, and you know, you
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: have a split second to make a decision. So so yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I dropped.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: My gloves and and we went at it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And and then even after.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I think it was after the first period, he came
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: up to me. It was like, hey, you know I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: got to go.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: In that situation, and I'm like, yeah, I completely understand that. So,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you know, respect to him for you know, dropping his
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: gloves and giving me a second kind of to realize
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: what's going on and instead of him just jumping me.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: So you know, I think there's always gotta be respect
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: between players when when anything happens like that, and a
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: lot of credit to him for.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: That great answer.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that you've been asked that many times in
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: your career and probably said yes most of them, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: you've probably be on the opposite side as well when
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: one of your guys gets hits just part of the game.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah. So where do things go from here? Ryan?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Obviously you guys got the win today, every other day
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: here for a while going into the Olympic break. What's
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: what's the message to the guys in the locker room
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: coming out of this one?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we we still got i think five games left
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: till till break, so yeah, we got to be dialed
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: in here. We got a couple of big, big home
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: games here to end the little homestand we're on and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a couple of really tough teams coming here. So yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: we just got to take a game by game, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: we got old time to rest today tomorrow and then
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: we got to get back at it on Tuesday.
• 3:37
