• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It was deja vu for the Seattle Kraken on Sunday
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: against Calgary, as a carbon copy performance of last week's
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: season opener propelled the team to a dominant win in
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: their home opener. 11 different players found the score sheet,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: led by a two goal performance from Mackie Samaskevich, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: two point nights for three others on their way to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: a 6-1 win, their second such win of the season. Tonight,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Seattle wraps up their brief homestand against the Vegas Golden Knights,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: who are coming off of a Western Conference Championship but
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: who have also lost three straight and four of their
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: last five inside of Climate Pledge Arena.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome inside of Climate Pledge Arena alongside Big Al Kaniski.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I am Everett Fitzhugh.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: This is Seattle Kraken Hockey on the Global Credit Union
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Kraken Audio Network. You are listening to the pregame show
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: served up by Frostbrew Coors Light.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Choose chill. My main man, Al. I'm a little lonely
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: up here, partner.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: You're all the way down on ice level today between
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the benches.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You warm enough yet?
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: After the last time I did this, I realized it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: actually warmer down here than.
• 1:32
  Speaker 8: It is up there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I don't have the AC blowing in my face down here.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Well, the Kraken, they were blowing all types of smoke
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: against Calgary on Sunday. A 6-1 win, their second 6-1
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: win of the season. And say what you want about
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it being the Flames or what have you, you need
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to find ways to win those games handedly, and the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Kraken did.
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they absolutely did.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: They came out with another great start, owning the offense
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: and taking care of things on their own end. Joey
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: Decord once again playing an awesome game, keeping pucks in
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: front of him. But a lot of that comes down
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: to D-Zone structure too, limiting the number of pucks that
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: get to the front of his net. The Kraken are
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: 15th in the league as far as pucks getting to
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: their goaltender. So limiting those shots to the goal makes
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: the goaltender's job much easier.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you talk about defense. The Kraken had 22 blocked
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: shots on Sunday. against Calgary.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: They had 18 in Edmonton, 20 the first game of
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the season. They've got 60 blocked shots already this year
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to go along with 13 goals. Listen, Lane Lambert is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a defense first coach, and when he sees 60 blocks
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: on the leisure, you have to imagine he's pretty happy
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: with that performance.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he absolutely is. And, you know, you love that
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: part of the Kraken game, and I think it's a
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: key part. And obviously invites potential for injuries. You hope
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: that's not the result. You hope they're deflections and not
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: straight on shots. But, you know, give the guys lots
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: of credit. It's not easy to stand in front of
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: 100 mile an hour blast.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: 13 goals on the season is the most through three games.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in franchise history. Their previous high was 10 in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: 22-23 season. Something fun happened at the end of that year.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Kraken made their first trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Outside of the opponents that they have been playing partner,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: what have you felt has been the biggest reason for
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: this offensive explosion for Seattle? What are the Kraken doing
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in order to have now scored 13 goals this season.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Well, you're peeking at my.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: Keys to the game, but I'll give you a little
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: bit of luck. It's that transition game. Obviously, their game
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: starts in the defensive zone. We talked about blocked shots,
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: we talked about goaltending, but it's that transition out of
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: the defensive zone that's been so crisp. That first pass
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: from the defenseman, oftentimes it's somewhere high in the neutral zone,
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: oftentimes it's the far blue line, And just like that,
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: they're attacking. So that quick transition resulted in a quick
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: attack has been giving them some great opportunities.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Let's go across the red line now and look at
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the Vegas Golden Knights coming off of a Western Conference championship,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: their third Western Conference championship in their brief 10 year,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: now 10 year history. This is the team that is
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: used to playing in tight games last year. They were
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: thirty nine, twenty six and seventeen. 95 points, which was
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the most points in the division.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: They raised a banner. If you put them in the.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Eastern Conference last year, partner, Vegas would have been four
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: points back of the cut line tied with the Washington Capitals.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: All of this to say this is a team that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: takes advantage of their situation, and they are used to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and good at playing in those close, tight games.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: They absolutely are, and their offense runs for Jack Eichel.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: He's got six points so far, including five assists. Those
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: five assists are tied right now for second most NHL.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: He is a playmaker. He can generate a ton of offense.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: You've got to be aware of when he's on the
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: ice and you've got to play him tight.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: We're on the air earlier here than normal today.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: As new this season, the Kraken taking a page out
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of the Seattle Mariners playbook. Certain weekday games, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and Thursday, weekday home games are scheduled to start at
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: 6.40 p.m. Now, there are a couple of national conflicts
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: in there. I think it runs in. to about 24
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of the 42 home games this season will be 640
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: starts here. So that'll be plenty of time for folks
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to get down and get home early. But for now,

• 8:46
  Speaker 13: Back for the Coors Light landing in Section 20 as
• 8:48
  Speaker 13: the Kraken aiming for their first 3-1 start in franchise history. 2-1,
• 8:53
  Speaker 13: of course, their record. Four points on the season in
• 8:56
  Speaker 13: this bearing matchup. 1-4 against Vegas. The Kraken last season
• 9:01
  Speaker 13: won both games against the Golden Knights here in Seattle.
• 9:04
  Speaker 13: Both were very close, also decided by a one-goal margin. Vegas,
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: same record, 2-1. They've got four points on the year.
• 9:12
  Speaker 13: And should they fall to 2-2? Well, that could mean nothing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 13: They began that way last year and got all the
• 9:17
  Speaker 13: way to the Stanley Cup final, but they're aiming now
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: for their first 3-1 start for the first time in
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: two years. Flashing back here to the home opener, the
• 9:26
  Speaker 13: Kraken didn't go out just playing like they were out
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: for a win, but also it seemed out for style points.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Berkley Catten now in. He's got some speed. Berkley Catten
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: on the right side.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: There's a backhand.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Shane Wright scores!
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Oh my goodness!
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: The price was right on that!
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Shane Wright caught the puck in tight space.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: He bobbled it for a moment.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: A spinorama five-hole backhand on Dustin Wolfe. And the Kraken
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: up by four, four-nothing with 8.02.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: To play here in the second.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: Well, it all starts with Berkley Catton down that right side.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: He's a left-handed shot, so he's probably not thinking drive
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: the net, but he wants to push those Calgary defensemen back.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: He takes them all the way down to the dot,
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: puts the brakes on, feeds right in the center, right
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: with a no-look backhand shot on net, beats Dustin Wolfe,
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: four-nothing Seattle.
• 10:30
  Speaker 13: If there is one thing we learned from that game
• 10:33
  Speaker 13: two nights ago, to borrow the phrase, the kids are
• 10:36
  Speaker 13: all right. Four of six goal scorers the Kraken had
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: in that game were age 23 or younger, and the
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: guy that you just heard, one of them in Shane Wright.
• 10:45
  Speaker 13: The Kraken also got two goals at a newcomer, Mackie Samaskevich,
• 10:49
  Speaker 13: and what a way for him to say hello, Seattle.
• 10:51
  Speaker 13: As Shane Wright chipping in, Caton, Berkeley Caton also getting
• 10:55
  Speaker 13: his first goal of the home schedule. Bobby McMahon, Jordan
• 10:58
  Speaker 13: Eberle also for good measure chipping in. Which bears some
• 11:02
  Speaker 13: luck as far as optimism here for this offense. The
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: Kraken getting 13 goals so far in the first three games.
• 11:07
  Speaker 13: That is their most in the first three games of
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: a season, besting the mark of 10 set.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Guess when?
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: 2022-23 when they made the Stanley Cup playoffs. Additionally, Jordan
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Eberle's hot. Season opening point streak is now at three games,
• 11:23
  Speaker 13: and the Kraken also became the fourth team this season
• 11:26
  Speaker 13: to get multiple six-goal outings. They joined a group including Colorado,
• 11:31
  Speaker 13: the Canucks, and the Penguins, who all have done so
• 11:34
  Speaker 13: as well twice. Also, a guy shipping in offensively. He
• 11:38
  Speaker 13: loves home openers. That's Vince Dunn, and for good measure,
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: Get a load of this. He became the second player
• 11:44
  Speaker 13: in NHL history to get a point in each of
• 11:47
  Speaker 13: a franchise's first six home openers or more. The only
• 11:51
  Speaker 13: other guy to do that, you might have heard of him.
• 11:53
  Speaker 13: His name is Wayne Gretzky. He did that nine home
• 11:56
  Speaker 13: openers in a row between 1979 in 1987 with the
• 12:01
  Speaker 13: Edmonton Oilers. So things are looking rosy right now for
• 12:03
  Speaker 13: the Kraken offense. On the flip side, they did this
• 12:06
  Speaker 13: against a Calgary team that left Climate Pledge Arena 0-3
• 12:10
  Speaker 13: on the season and showed they have issues scoring and
• 12:13
  Speaker 13: they have issues defending. Their minus 13 goal differential is
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: worse than the NHL. Matter of fact, it is historical.
• 12:20
  Speaker 13: Only two teams were worse. to begin three games in
• 12:24
  Speaker 13: NHL history. That includes the Los Angeles Kings back in
• 12:28
  Speaker 13: 75-76 at minus 14, and the New York Rangers of 81-82,
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: who began that year at minus 15.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Yowza.
• 12:38
  Speaker 13: On the flip side, Joey Decord, very solid in net,
• 12:40
  Speaker 13: improving to 2-0, making 32 saves, and at 11 each
• 12:45
  Speaker 13: in period one and period three. So the meaning here
• 12:48
  Speaker 13: for this one, can the Kraken do it again against
• 12:50
  Speaker 13: a much tougher opponent?
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: That's Vegas.
• 12:52
  Speaker 13: They went 3-1 against the Golden Knights in the season series,
• 12:55
  Speaker 13: but they are showing that they are trending north head-to-head.
• 12:58
  Speaker 13: The Kraken have won five of the last six meetings
• 13:01
  Speaker 13: here in Seattle, which includes the Winter Classic, and their
• 13:04
  Speaker 13: aim right now, a four-game win streak over Vegas here
• 13:08
  Speaker 13: on home ice. As a matter of fact, can you
• 13:11
  Speaker 13: maybe expect lower scoring in that department? The Kraken have
• 13:14
  Speaker 13: scored three goals or more just one time, though, in
• 13:16
  Speaker 13: the last six meetings. Also, could you expect maybe a
• 13:19
  Speaker 13: tight game here? that respect five of the last seven
• 13:22
  Speaker 13: games have gone down to one goal so we'll see
• 13:25
  Speaker 13: how one so we'll see how this one stays close
• 13:28
  Speaker 13: as far as recent trends the Kraken offensively right now
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: averaging 4.3 goals a game so the offense certainly is
• 13:34
  Speaker 13: showing up that is right now six best in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 13: entire NHL matter of fact death throughout the lineup is
• 13:40
  Speaker 13: coming through only three forwards on their roster have yet
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: to record a point that being Jacob Alonso who was
• 13:45
  Speaker 13: on IR and Ben Myers and Curtis Douglas. Defensively, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 13: Kraken want to keep a good thing going as well.
• 13:51
  Speaker 13: 1.6 goals allowed per game. That is fourth best in
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: the NHL. But for good measure, a penalty kill also
• 13:58
  Speaker 13: showing up. They have killed five of six here to
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: begin the season, but also getting some help by just
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: simply staying.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Out of the box.
• 14:05
  Speaker 13: Only three teams have been shorthanded less than the Kraken
• 14:09
  Speaker 13: this season. That is Buffalo, Nashville. and New Jersey as well,
• 14:13
  Speaker 13: so we'll see if the Kraken can keep that up
• 14:15
  Speaker 13: here for tonight. The storylines on their side first off
• 14:17
  Speaker 13: begin with Chandler Stevenson and his impact as he faces...
• 14:21
  Speaker 13: his former team. He is aiming for a four-game point streak.
• 14:25
  Speaker 13: He's got five points last six matchups against Vegas, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: he will play once again in between Bobby McMahon and
• 14:32
  Speaker 13: Jordan Eberle. Secondly, it is Matty Beneers on milestone watch.
• 14:36
  Speaker 13: One more goal or assist gives him 200 career NHL points.
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: And our final storyline, Joey Decord will be in net
• 14:42
  Speaker 13: once again.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Five and two is.
• 14:44
  Speaker 13: His record against Vegas for his career, aiming now for
• 14:47
  Speaker 13: a four-game win streak against the Golden Knights. Let's hear
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: more on the Kraken side, and here's Vince Dunn talking
• 14:53
  Speaker 13: about the state of the Kraken through three games of
• 14:56
  Speaker 13: this young regular season.
• 14:58
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I think overall the confidence is pretty high right now,
• 15:00
  Speaker 14: and that's important, especially early on, and I think the
• 15:03
  Speaker 14: energy we've had through training camp has carried and transitioned
• 15:07
  Speaker 14: pretty well into the season, and I think the way
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: we came out at home is really important last game,
• 15:14
  Speaker 14: and we just need to focus on feeding from that
• 15:17
  Speaker 14: and bringing the same energy from the start of tonight's game.
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: One thing you'll hear from coaches and players sometimes in
• 15:23
  Speaker 13: the chaotic October is just keep it simple but the
• 15:25
  Speaker 13: Kraken have said that they want to make plays even
• 15:28
  Speaker 13: if they're available at this time of year and back
• 15:30
  Speaker 13: to Dunn on this issue because the Kraken are scoring
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: goals in very attractive kinds of ways with skill and
• 15:36
  Speaker 13: he said that's due to skill but also brains coming together.
• 15:40
  Speaker 14: A lot of the plays that we're making are resulting
• 15:42
  Speaker 14: into a lot of good scoring chances. I think when
• 15:47
  Speaker 14: we're playing with a lot of pressure in D zone
• 15:50
  Speaker 14: we're eliminating the time spent there and guys are having
• 15:53
  Speaker 14: the energy and the confidence to do what they do
• 15:56
  Speaker 14: best in the offensive zone. So I think a lot
• 16:00
  Speaker 14: of the plays we've made and the goals we've scored
• 16:04
  Speaker 14: haven't been certainly drawn up plays or trick plays by
• 16:09
  Speaker 14: any means. I think it's just guys being in the
• 16:12
  Speaker 14: right areas and being good teammates for each other to
• 16:16
  Speaker 14: put each other in good spots. That's what's most important
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: and when you do that a lot of good things
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: usually follow and the results come your way.
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: More on Dunn who talked about the Kraken facing Vegas
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: where in these kinds of games you've got to live
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: at one place and that's the front of the net.
• 16:31
  Speaker 13: Dunn said he likes the idea of getting even better
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: in that area in front of Joey DeCourt.
• 16:36
  Speaker 14: For the most part we've been doing a pretty good
• 16:38
  Speaker 14: job in front of goalies I think. Maybe we could
• 16:41
  Speaker 14: get a little tougher.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: In front of our own.
• 16:43
  Speaker 14: I know the Edmonton game kind of got away with us.
• 16:45
  Speaker 14: Got away from us a little bit. We were letting
• 16:47
  Speaker 14: them get a little too close in and That's not
• 16:50
  Speaker 14: always easy. You've got to kind of predict that before
• 16:52
  Speaker 14: there's people coming to your own net. But, yeah, I
• 16:56
  Speaker 14: think having our guys go to their net, we're doing
• 17:00
  Speaker 14: a really good job right now shooting pucks. It's really
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: nice to see guys are being selfless. I mean, Ryder's
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: goal last night is a perfect example of just taking
• 17:09
  Speaker 14: the opportunity that's given and throwing something at it and
• 17:11
  Speaker 14: see what happens. So that's really good to see that
• 17:16
  Speaker 14: we're not being necessarily selfish, but... you know, when you're
• 17:21
  Speaker 14: playing that way, everyone's on the same page. Everyone will
• 17:23
  Speaker 14: get their chances and their looks, and a lot of
• 17:25
  Speaker 14: good things are coming from it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: More of Freddy Gaudreau here from the Kraken dressing room
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: this morning where we talked about confidence, and that can
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: certainly be big for momentum, but he also said confidence
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: and momentum come with a pretty measured approach.
• 17:38
  Speaker 15: I think we just were focused on the game at
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: a time. It's the most cliche thing we always say
• 17:44
  Speaker 15: in the locker room, but that's the truth, and It
• 17:47
  Speaker 15: felt that way, a day-to-day mindset for the whole camp,
• 17:50
  Speaker 15: which I think brought a lot of energy to our group,
• 17:54
  Speaker 15: a lot of positivity, and yeah, I think we were
• 17:58
  Speaker 15: able to surf that same way to start the season
• 18:01
  Speaker 15: so far, and that's the mindset going forward.
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: We heard a lot about with camp being so short
• 18:06
  Speaker 13: on the emphasis of making plays and making them in
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: tight spaces. What's been your assessment as far as how
• 18:13
  Speaker 13: this team has come along with playmaking the first few games?
• 18:15
  Speaker 15: Well, yeah, I think, you know, playmaking also is a
• 18:19
  Speaker 15: bit of kind of getting used to you're playing with also.
• 18:24
  Speaker 15: The more you find yourself with the same guys on
• 18:28
  Speaker 15: the ice, the more you start thinking the same way.
• 18:30
  Speaker 15: And I feel like we have some solid lines that
• 18:32
  Speaker 15: now are feeling that way. You know, there's been a
• 18:37
  Speaker 15: lot of really nice plays so far. I can think
• 18:41
  Speaker 15: of Sammo's goal last game. His second one is a
• 18:45
  Speaker 15: you know, a combination of two really nice passes that
• 18:49
  Speaker 15: were just, it felt like the guys knew where the
• 18:51
  Speaker 15: other one was, and yeah, it's kind of a chemistry thing,
• 18:55
  Speaker 15: and it's fun to see that throughout the whole lineup,
• 18:59
  Speaker 15: it feels like guys are finding each other more and more.
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: James is here to note in the Kraken lineup for tonight,
• 19:05
  Speaker 13: Ben Myers up front, he is in, K.L. Fleury is
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: also in on defense, meaning Villalata Vinen and Curtis Douglas
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: will take a seat here for this evening. We'll come
• 19:13

  Speaker 13: Kraken in Vegas about to drop the puck in about

  Speaker 13: Again, Mike Benton with you. Back by the Coors Light
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: landing in section 20. And time now for a look
• 21:03
  Speaker 13: at Vegas where... They went through a little bit of chaos.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: No surprise.
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: That begins with their coaching staff with John Tortorella out
• 21:09
  Speaker 13: after roughly a cup of coffee and after a loss
• 21:12
  Speaker 13: in the Stanley Cup final with Ryan Craig then jumping in,
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: even after they won a chaotic Pacific Division at 95
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: points and got a Western Conference championship out of the deal.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: But Ryan Craig is in, who is.
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: longtime pro center previously coaching in the American Hockey League
• 21:29
  Speaker 13: and back again now after a 90-point season he had
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: last year with their AHL affiliate in Henderson one big
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: loss for them Pavel Dorofeev 33 goals last two years
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: on the power play 72 in total Vegas shipping him
• 21:44
  Speaker 13: out to the New York Rangers and the question bears
• 21:48
  Speaker 13: what can they do in the absence of Dorofeev one
• 21:51
  Speaker 13: of them is Kavitra Olofsson make a difference. He was
• 21:55
  Speaker 13: signed out of free agency back on July 2nd. He
• 21:57
  Speaker 13: had 13 goals last year. Plus also Vegas banking on
• 22:00
  Speaker 13: the health of William Carlson and Mark Stone who missed
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: a combined 90 games last season. That could be big
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: for them. Plus also Craig saying that he plans to
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: get the defense more involved. the offense and that means
• 22:13
  Speaker 13: putting one puck mover on each defensive pair plus also
• 22:16
  Speaker 13: the potential turning Jack Eichel into a shooter on the
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: power play could reap some dividends but as far as
• 22:22
  Speaker 13: Vegas is concerned health is a big one and so
• 22:25
  Speaker 13: far they're 100% healthy in three games however it is
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: a very very young season more on Eichel who said
• 22:33
  Speaker 13: he sees a challenge in facing the Kraken this evening
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: but at this time of year it is more about
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: fine-tuning Vegas's own.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Game Well I mean we've played Seattle right before in
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: the past and last season and you know you're familiar
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: with a lot of their players and the way they
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: want to play and kind of the style of which
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: they play so I think with the information there you're
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: able to prepare for them a bit and then you
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: just try and I mean you try and prepare every
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: game you know pretty similarly obviously some teams are going
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: to be doing different things from you know a systematical
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: standpoint but At this point of the year, you're trying
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: to come out and instill what you're trying to do
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: in the game and play your game and play it
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: better than they do. They've been playing well so far
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: to start the season, and it should be a good
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: test for us tonight.
• 23:26
  Speaker 13: Michaels off to a hot start with six points in
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: his first three games. He had a helper in the
• 23:31
  Speaker 13: 3-2 win for Vegas over the Canucks back on Saturday.
• 23:34
  Speaker 13: He is our top storyline in this one. Leading scorer
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: last season off a 90-point campaign, and he has been
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: tough to handle on the Kraken side with 21 points,
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: 15 games head-to-head. He'll play with Ivan Barbashev and Mark Stone.
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: Second story line, it is pupil versus teacher, and that
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: means Mitch Marner as pupil against Lane Lambert, the teacher.
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: The two were, of course, on the same bench back
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: in Toronto a couple of years ago, and Marner has
• 24:00
  Speaker 13: also given the Kraken a tough time as well with
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: 18 points in 12 games head-to-head. Only once has he
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: been held scoreless in this matchup. That was October 11th
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: of last season, so certainly a big challenge here for
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: Lane Lambert to keep Mitch Marner ahead. off the board,
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: and Marner looks like we'll play with Brett Howden and
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: William Carlson. Carter Hart going to be in net here
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: for Vegas. Meanwhile, we'll take a break. Everett and Al

  Speaker 6: This is Brandon Montour for the Seattle Kraken.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to Kraken Hockey on the Kraken Audio Network.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: We're back inside of Climate Pledge Arena. Big Al Kaniski
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: between the benches tonight. Everett Fitzhugh back upstairs cracking and
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the Golden Knights for the first four meetings on the season.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Cracking two and one to start the year with a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: pair of 6-1 wins, both against the Calgary Flames partner.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Vegas is a little bit different than Calgary, more similar
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: probably to Edmonton, which was a hard fought 3-1 loss
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: for Seattle.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: What are gonna be some things the Kraken have.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: To do here tonight to pick up their fourth consecutive
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: home win and fifth in their last six games at
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: home against Vegas?
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: Well, the first one is what I talked about a
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: little bit earlier in the pregame. That's quick defensive transitions.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: The Kraken need to get from defense to offense faster
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: than a Vegas casino changes the odds. With the puck,
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: make the first pass and attack before the Golden Knights
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: can set up their velvet rope defense. No sightseeing, no
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: scenic routes, no waiting for a cab. Just clean exits
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: and immediate pressure. If Seattle turns turnovers into chances, Vegas
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: may want to check out of the Kraken hotel early. Second.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: Win key face-offs. Tonight's face-offs are where the house edge
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: gets decided. The Kraken need to win the important draws,
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: especially in the defensive and offensive zones, because losing face-offs
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: to Vegas is like giving a blackjack deal your wallet.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: Get the puck possession first, get it out clean, and
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: make the Golden Knights chase instead of dictate. Control the dot,
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: control the chaos. And then third, Joey Decord leads. Joey
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: Decord needs to be calm, sharp, and just annoying enough
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: to ruin Vegas' evening. The Golden Knights will look for traffic, rebounds,
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: and second chances, so Joey has to own the crease
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: and make the first save count. If he gives Seattle
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: confidence behind him, the Kraken will play fast and aggressive
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: in front of him. Vegas brought the neon, now Joey
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: needs to bring the blackout. So in sum, the Kraken's
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: recipe is simple. Transition cleanly, win the big face-offs, and
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: let Joey DeCord slam the door like a bouncer who's
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: seen enough. Seattle cannot give away pucks like comped rooms
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: at the Flamingo Hotel, or give these Vegas players extra
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: chances like Bob Barker, because the Golden Knights already have
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: enough casino energy without the free chips. Play fast, play nasty,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: and make the deep a terrible environment To place a
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: bet tonight.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're on one tonight.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Listen, I don't care how cheap the room is.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm staying at the Flamengo Hotel.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: They're just giving those ropes away.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Just giving them away.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I want to start from the net out tonight here
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: with Joey Decord. We've seen three very strong goaltending performances.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Two from Decord, one from Grubauer, albeit defensively. In a
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: losing effort, I think you and I have talked quite
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: a bit about trying to find that number one.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Goaltender to take over the spot.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: What have you seen, again, three game sample size, what
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: have you seen from both Grubauer and DeCord, and who
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: do you feel maybe has a slight edge so far,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: or does anyone have the edge in goal this year?
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Well I'll give I'll say that this is a good
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: goaltending coach problem in that so far small sample size
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: you've got two goaltenders that are playing really well but
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: tonight Joey DeCord's in net and among goaltenders in the
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: league right now with two or more wins He's at
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: the top with 966 save percentage and a goals against
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: average of 1. But as I mentioned earlier, he's 15th
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: with 58 shots against, so his team's doing a good
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: job blocking shots for him.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: But he's also one of three goaltenders that have a
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: point this season.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: So.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I've got to give the.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Side to him a little bit.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Just because he's played an extra game, you're going to
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: see him have a big test here tonight. Ask me
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: in two and a half hours, maybe I change my opinion.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: We talk a lot about special teams, power play, penalty kill.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Kraken giving up a power play goal the other night
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: to the Calgary Flames. Did not get a power play
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: themselves in that game. They were 3-3.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: On the PK in Edmonton, 1-2.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And then going back to Calgary, they scored a beautiful
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: goal on their first power play, then went 0 for
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: 4 the rest of the way against the Vegas Golden Knights. PK-wise,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: you've got two stars in Eichel and Marner, very much
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: like Dreisaitl and McDavid and Edmonton. They're going to load
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: up that top power play unit. How crucial will tonight
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: be in terms of staying out of the box?
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: Well, discipline's going to be huge, but rarely do you
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: get out of a game clean where you don't have
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: to kill a penalty often. After last game, the Kraken
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: entered tonight 17th in the league at 83.3%, killing off
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: five of six chances. They dropped 12 spots in one
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: game because they dropped from 100%. So still really good,
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: but the way you have an excellent penalty kill is
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: to stay out of the box. But when you do
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: have to kill penalties, you've got to be aware of
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: those two gentlemen on the ice because they will burn you.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: What are you looking forward to from calling this game
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: between the benches tonight? What is Al Koniski going to
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: be focusing on back down there between the benches?
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: I'm going to look for the vibe. You know, the
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: vibe is tough to tell from up top there. I
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: want to watch the bench after a goal is scored
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: against this team. I want to watch the bench after they.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Score a goal.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: I want to see Joey Decord come over to the
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: bench after he lets one in. I'm looking for the,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: I'm doing the vibe check tonight because, you know, last year, certainly,
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: you know, after the Olympic break, that vibe dropped considerably.
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: I want to see the vibes up high here tonight.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: You know whose vibe is always high?
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Mike Benton!
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Mike Benton back on the Coors Light landing, section 20

• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Another 6-1 win for your guys over Calgary two nights ago.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Very similar output to night one in Calgary. What did
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: you like about your team's 60-minute game?
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: I thought.
• 34:46
  Speaker 21: I like our ability and our willingness to shoot the
• 34:50
  Speaker 21: puck into the net.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: We took advantage of our opportunities. I like that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 21: We kind of put them on their heels when we
• 34:59
  Speaker 21: were scoring. I thought that our start was okay and
• 35:02
  Speaker 21: I thought our goaltender was good. I think I'd like
• 35:07
  Speaker 21: to see us a little better off the starts so
• 35:11
  Speaker 21: that Joey doesn't have to make, or Phillip doesn't have
• 35:14
  Speaker 21: to make save after save before we get going. So
• 35:17
  Speaker 21: that's kind of a focus for tonight's game. But certainly
• 35:19
  Speaker 21: there was a lot of things to like.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: About the game.
• 35:23
  Speaker 21: And we're continuing to grow into our structure, some of
• 35:26
  Speaker 21: our structure thought processes.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Through the neutral zone.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: I know it's early, but you want to nip the
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: bad habits early in the bud when you're looking at
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: starts and trying to get off to the right foot.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: What is it?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Is it something you can tell the guys? Can you
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: practice getting off to good starts? How does that come
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: into your game?
• 35:45
  Speaker 21: Oh, we haven't necessarily, like I say, we haven't necessarily
• 35:48
  Speaker 21: had what I would call bad starts.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: On the other team, actually, they're out on the ice
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: playing too. So they're involved in the game as well.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: It's a tough league, the National Hockey League. To answer
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: your question, it's just a focus thing. And I think
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: our guys have been focused. uh you know but things
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: happen i just.
• 36:08
  Speaker 21: You know there's certain maybe certain areas certain situations i
• 36:12
  Speaker 21: thought we put ourselves in penalty trouble in edmonton um
• 36:15
  Speaker 21: and that's you know something that we don't want to
• 36:18
  Speaker 21: do 13 14 guys have found their way onto the
• 36:20
  Speaker 21: score sheet the first three games of the season how
• 36:22
  Speaker 21: important is that to build confidence and to see everyone
• 36:25
  Speaker 21: getting their touches and putting up their points early on
• 36:27
  Speaker 21: yeah i think it's important uh certainly i think that
• 36:30
  Speaker 21: we have tried to and done a pretty good job of,
• 36:34
  Speaker 21: you know, distributing our ice.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Time evenly or somewhat evenly.
• 36:39
  Speaker 21: You know, everybody matters on this hockey team and everybody
• 36:42
  Speaker 21: has a role and, you know, we want to make
• 36:45
  Speaker 21: sure that everybody gets involved. So it's nice to see
• 36:47
  Speaker 21: the score sheet doing that as well.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Mackie Samuskiewicz came as advertised in his second game in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Kraken Colors, two goals in that contest. What does he
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: bring to this lineup now that you've seen him in
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: a regular season game? You've been able to coach him
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: now through preseason and training camp. What has he brought
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: to this group that you felt was missing the last year?
• 37:06
  Speaker 21: Well, I just think that, you know, he adds another
• 37:09
  Speaker 21: element of speed, which we talk about.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: We want to be a fast team.
• 37:14
  Speaker 21: And he's got, you know, obviously he's got some skill
• 37:18
  Speaker 21: around the net and can shoot the puck.
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: So certainly he adds an element of offense to our
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: hockey team. And the other thing he adds is you want.
• 37:26
  Speaker 21: To watch them play the games the little things that
• 37:28
  Speaker 21: maybe fans don't appreciate or see. You can tell he's
• 37:33
  Speaker 21: played in Florida on a team that won a couple
• 37:36
  Speaker 21: Stanley Cups. And so there's certain things in the game
• 37:40
  Speaker 21: that can become contagious that you see him doing that
• 37:45
  Speaker 21: are what I would consider winning hockey plays.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: As a coach, do you find yourself leaning on players
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: like that? Montour, who also won a Cup. Stevenson, who
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: won with Vegas not too long ago. When you look
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: at some of these players in the room who've had success,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: how much are you leaning on them to have those
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: good winning habits filter out throughout the rest of the room?
• 38:06
  Speaker 21: I think it's important to get people in that room
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: that have had that kind of success as well and
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: to help push guys along.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: There's no question about it. We've got a few of
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: them on there that have won Stanley Cups.
• 38:19
  Speaker 21: As far as that's concerned, it's nice to see them
• 38:25
  Speaker 21: have been in those situations and.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Lead by example.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Very familiar with the Vegas Golden Knights, the second-to-last game
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: of the season for you guys last year, so still
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: very fresh. They've got a couple of strong offensive players
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: in their room, and Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner. What
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: can the Kraken expect out of them, and how will
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: this opponent be different from the first two games against
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Calgary and even Edmonton?
• 38:48
  Speaker 21: Well, I mean, there's, you know, our game... Our game
• 38:52
  Speaker 21: doesn't change. It doesn't matter who we play. There's good
• 38:58
  Speaker 21: teams that you play every night. Obviously Vegas, like you say,
• 39:02
  Speaker 21: they have Marner, they have Eichel. There's Hurdle, there's Stone.
• 39:07
  Speaker 21: The list kind of goes on and on. They play
• 39:10
  Speaker 21: a little bit of a different brand maybe in terms
• 39:13
  Speaker 21: of getting to the net and getting bucks to the
• 39:16
  Speaker 21: net and things like that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Maybe the game changes a little bit there, but I
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: want us to keep playing our game.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Big question, Looms.
• 39:23
  Speaker 13: Can the Kraken play their game and win those battles
• 39:26
