  Speaker 1: Welcome to Kracking this morning, a presentation of the Kraken
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Audio Network Ken Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Here's Mike Betton.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Final game of the homestand coming up Cracking Maple Leafs
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: second matchup seven o'clock Pacific time this evening. Mike Betton
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: again with you for Cracking this morning. To get you
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: covered here for the game on a Thursday, January twenty ninth.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: We are going to hear in a little bit from
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Dave McCarthy, our guest on Cracking Weekly, who was just
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: with us here to discuss the Leafs, plus also reaction
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: from Jared McCann and Matty Beniers after a convincing five
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to one krack and win over the Washington Capitals back
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, with a little bit of controversy also in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the middle and a hat trick as well. Hanging in
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the balance. But the Kraken, despite going through a month
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of seventeen games, are you at poised to come out
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of this with a guaranteed record above five hundred for
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: points percentage at eighty five and two. They have two
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: more games coming up this month, first off, the home
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: finale before the Olympic break this evening and then the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: beginning of a three game road trip to close out
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the calendar month on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: at Tea Mobile Arena. Well, flashing back to two nights ago,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the Kraken left little doubts as their top line took
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: over against the Capitals.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Free thirty five to play in regulation. Here's Matty Veneers
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: by the saft spots.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Shared mcckett feathers it ahead for Maddy Vaniers in the
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: right circle. Got behind the Cats D five one Seattle
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: three thirty three left hair.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: In this one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a transition to the neutral zone that Puckets
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: poofed up to mckett at the blue at the red line,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: he just waits for Beneers to shoot through the middle,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: puts it into open space. Vaneers gets himself a breakaway.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He beats Thompson on this one five to one.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: In the wake of it, eight combined points for the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: top line of Jared McCann, Matty Beaneers, and Jordan Emberley
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: in a five to one victory over the Washington Capitals,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: enough to earn a one to one series split and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: put the Cracking in position now for four wins in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: this six game homestand but also the night including a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: little bit of controversy. Jared McCann apparently scored a breakaway
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: goal in period three to complete a hat trick, until
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a hat trick. Officials would review a high
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: stick well behind the play. Matty Baneer's visibly clipping justin
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: sort of wiped out the goal and gave Baniers a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: double minor for high sticking. So McCann close but not
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: close enough, which also included a showering of hats onto
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the ice from the sold out crowd of seventeen thousand,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: one point fifty one, but the krack in closing out
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the game with the win after that, having a little
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: bit of fun with it, as Jared McCann now with
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the media after the game.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Takes away your natural hat trick opportunity, stealing that one
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: off the post. Then Matty Vaniers apparently high sticks a
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: guy he George Beverly, so he didn't even know that
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: was an option. They could take the goal off the
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: board like that. Yeah, are you mad at your linemates
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: at all?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: All those guys are the reason you know, I've I've
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: had success this here, so I just feel bad for
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: the people through their hats on the ice. To be
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: honest with you, Yeah, maybe every little refund or something.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Who knows what is working for the for your line.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, obviously all three of you guys came up
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: with pretty big nights.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: And yeah, I just I feel like we've had chances
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: in the past couple of games here that haven't really
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: gone for us. You know, we've had We've had some
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: good opportunities, especially coming out of DS one. We're playing
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: good defensively, getting breaking up a lot of plays and
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: going the other way, and that's what makes us successful
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: as we get you know, I'm playing with two guys
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: who can create off and nothing, and you know, I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: definitely lucky to play with those guys.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely take the third one off the board for you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: But and even though allowing one on the penalty kill,
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: how do you feel about the guys you know, pushing back?
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, the mindset on the bench was positive,
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: kept going, We kept pushing, you know, that was that
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: was the plan. Just stay level headed and keep going.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: Jared, what happened after the Amaheid game did because that
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: was one of the poorest performances the team had all
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: season since then, you guys have been playing lights out?
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Was that a direct response?
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a little bit of a kick in
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: the butt, you know, especially in video the next day,
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: it was something I feel like, that's that's something that
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: you know, Lane doesn't shy away from and holding guys accountable.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: You know, I feel like that's what makes a team better.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: So we would watch a video, we learned from it,
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: and you know, we're gonna obviously have games like that
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: every once in a while, but it's gotta be uh,
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: it's gotta be one in a million.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: How your goals happened tonight?
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: Uh?
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: The first one, Ebbs, found me through a slot there.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: You know, I just tried to get it on net
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: as quick as possible and kind of you know, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: didn't get all of it, but it was a good
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: place shot, I guess. And the second one there, just
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: tried to battle my way to the net and you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: it kind of kicked off the pad there right to
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: me back door.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: But hey, as far as fans that were there for
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the game, not all was lost. Reportedly, the krack and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: offering season ticket members a chance to get a free
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: hat as well. Courtesy of American Express reform that was shared.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So in essence, celebrate a hat trick, throw your hat
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: on the ice if you were at the game, lose
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: your hat because of an overturned goal, and eventually you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: get one back as well. Not too shabby. Aside from that,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: another multi point nine for Matty Vaniers. He is up
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to eighteen points now in nineteen games since the middle
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of December and showing more and more why he is
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: elevating his game to a true top six center right now,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: tie for the Crack and lead in scoring with thirty
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: six points in fifty two games, a pace now that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: would put him one point shy of his career high
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: at fifty seven, set back when he won the Calder
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Trophy three years ago. But of course there was also
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: some fun within the disallowed goal because of Vanier's high stick,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and he talked more about that and the Krack and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: win after Tuesday night.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: How good is it Jared shot just back in the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: lineup overall in general for you guys.
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's great. He's got a hell of a shot,
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: and you know you saw it tonight with the first
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: one that was a bomb, even on Ebbs' goal. You
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: know he beats the goal, he hits the post and
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: then he scores, so you know, he's he's awesome out there.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: He's got an elite shot.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: So he said, he's not holding it against you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: The Yeah, I know, I was crappy, but yeah, just
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: just crappy. Didn't mean to hit him. Happened like two
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: minutes before the goal even happened, so I didn't even
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: didn't know what they were looking at. And then and
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: then they told me.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: So, what's working for your line? All the three of
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: you guys had multiple points tonight.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: I think we're just playing together, well, you know, our
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: you know, playing as a three man union on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: four check, honestly a five man union.
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: And I think the d have done a really good
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: job getting up in the play and helping us on
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: our four checks and and you know, getting pucks to
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: us quick so we can transition teams and I'll let
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: them get in our structure and then you know, our
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: skills just taken over. So we've obviously all played together
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: before a bunch of times, and yeah, we're just just
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: meshing well right now.
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: Would be simply to say that the Anaheim game was
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: good for the team, But you guys have sure adhered
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: to your system and gotten results since then.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: So did something good come out of that?
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was definitely a little bit of a wake
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: up call. Like you know, these games are absolutely huge.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: You know, I think there's two or three games after
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: break before the deadline, so uh, these are these are
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: big games for everyone that's kind of in the hunt.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: And and I think that gave us a little bit
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: a bit of a wake up call for for us
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: to start kicking it into gear a little bit.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: What did you think of the start tonight? I know
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: it's been a little bit of a challenge. Heare over
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: the last I don't know how many games, So what'd
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: you think of it?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: I thought it was great. I thought, honestly the last
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: two games was great. You know, we didn't score the
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: first goal last game. You know, you give up a
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: power play. But I thought we've really been on our toes.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: We've been skating really hard, working together as a five
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: man unit and you know, getting pucks in, getting on
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: our four check, just establishing play down in their zone.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: It's huge for us many.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: I think you're nearly a pointing game for the month.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: Your goals at Carmel a little.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Bit quicker here.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: What's kind of working fire and so good for you
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: here at.
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: The moment with your game. Yeah, I mean, I mean,
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: I think the team's playing well. So you know, when
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: the team plays well, individuals get success. And that's that's
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: I think that's what's happening.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's pretty apparent after a seven to four loss to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the Buffalo Sabers, the Toronto Maple Leafs have more than
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: their fair share of issues here to handle right before
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the Olympic break. After all, they trade to Mention Marner
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: this last offseason, and still as of this point, are
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: waiting in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, leaving them eight
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: points out of the cut line in the Western Conference,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a record of twenty four to twenty nine fifty seven points,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and they own just three wins in their previous ten games. Defensively,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: it has been quite the wild ride for them season.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: They have allowed three point four goals per game, that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: standing thirtieth in the NHL. They have allowed an average
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of five goals over the last five games, all during
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: an zero four and one homestand and now it doesn't
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: get much easier. They will be on the road until
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: after the Olympic break. Four games heading into the break
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, and then coming right
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: out of it will visit Tampa Bay and the Florida Panthers. Nonetheless,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the Leafs still very much a squad capable of doing
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: damage offensively, led by William Nilander's forty eight points, Auston
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Matthews carrying them right now with twenty six goals in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: forty seven games. Matthews tied with John Tavares for second
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: points wise at forty five, and then he had the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: big Matthew Nyes right behind them with forty four points
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: in fifty games. Nonetheless, the stories have continued to circulate
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: all around the Leaves. From William Nilander's inappropriate gesture tour
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to television camera, he earned a five thousand dollars fine
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: from the NHL as a result, Craig Barubi also suffering
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: an injury right at the top of his head from
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: what was quote unquote a Jim mishap, and a team
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: facing critical decisions as one of the more older squads
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: in the NHL. We broke down the game ahead here
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: as far as a view from the Toronto side with
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Dave McCarthy of Sirius XM NHL Network Radio joining us
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: on Cracking Weekly, and here's a sample of our conversation.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, what's the empty narrative and what is reality
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: here with the Leaves right now in the post Mitch
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Marner era.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a disappointment this season, to be sure, because
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: this was a group Mike that in September was talking
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: about contending for the Stanley cop and they're in a
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: position right now where they're nowhere near the playoffs, let
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: alone contending for the Cup eight points out, you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: potentially as they come into action on Thursdays. So this
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: is not a year where they went into the year thinking, yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you know what, it might not be our year, it
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: might be a retool a year. No, this was a
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: year they intended to ten and it's not happening. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: it's at the point now where I think the Leafs
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: have to really have a serious discussion about where this
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: season is going. Given that they're eight points out. Is
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: this season still salvageable? I don't think that it is.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: And if that's the decision that you come to, then
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: you need to have some difficult discussions about what you're
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: going to do with certain guys on the roster, impending
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: free agents, Guys like a Bobby McMahon who is a
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: free agent at the end of the year. Guys like
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: a Scott Lawton who is a free agent at the
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: end of the year. Guys like a Troy Stetcher who
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: have come in and played pretty well. Simon ben Wall
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: has got a year left at just over a million bucks.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Oliver Ekman Larsen is two years left. He's a guy
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: that probably you could never sell higher on than you
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: could right now, because I think he would have interest
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: around the league given how he has played this year.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: You know, you look at Morgan Riley, does a change
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: need to occur there? I think you have to look
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: if you're the Leafs right now and say, is it
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: time to start trying to accumulate future assets. For some
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: of the players on the team right now that either
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: will not be resigned in the off season it makes
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: sense to sell based on their value right now, or
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: guys that might just have to be in a position
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: where it's time for a change. I do think they
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: still have a good skeleton in place. I don't think
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: it has to be an absolute tear down, but I
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: do think they need to make some savvy moves to
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: try to recoup some assets and put into what is
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: essentially a bear cupboard so that they can try in
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: the off season to utilize some of those future assets
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: that they would accumulate to translate back into players that
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: will help them as soon as next year.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's so fascinating because, I mean the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: attention that they grab in that market. I mean it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: kind of like a byproduct year of a team that
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: has covered so much, akin of the Dallas Cowboys, a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: kind of the New York Yankees. I mean, everything is
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: under a microscope. And so I think just kind of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: getting past the whole Craig Beruby, Jim Mishap, William Nielander
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and his camera Mishap and then Austin Matthews, the conversation
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: of Willie Talker not talk here to the media game
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: after game, I think we kind of understand a bit
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: further of where this could be headed and maybe not
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: so much a full blown tear down, because you got
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Austin Matthews and his contract, William Neilander and his contract,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Matthew Knights was assigned to a brand spanking new deal.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But how closer do you think that we might be
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: seen to I wouldn't say doubling down, but a summer
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: where they're they're they're trying to volley themselves right back
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: into contention status again.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Well, without question, if aus and Matthews is in the
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: is on the roster, if William Miehlander is on the roster,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: you you have to try to contend. Otherwise what are
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: you doing right now? I mean, Matthews has got two
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: years left after this year, So what do you want
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: to do wate next year and then go into the
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: final year of his deal as an impending unrestricted free agent. No,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: you got to try to contend. So that's that's what
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: they will try to do. You know, the attention, I
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: just really don't buy that as something that is an
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: element of adversity for this team. You know, when they
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: were playing good for most of the last nine years
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: and it was never really in doubt that they were
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: going to make the playoffs, there really weren't many little
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: side issues that turned into big circuses winning cures a
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: lot that. But what what's happened now is that a
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: lot of these little side issues that crop up like
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: you just referred, remind me a lot of where this
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: team was at prior to twenty fourteen when Brandon Shanahan
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: came on board, where it was salute gate and it
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: was you know this you know or you know that guy,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: whatever it might have been, but it always seemed like
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: there was something, you know, Nasen Kadri saying, oh yeah,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Jeffrey Loopels, right, and then you know, Jeffrey Loopel's ever
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: seend from me. Whatever it was that seemed to go
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: away over the last ten years, but it's back, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: now it's a case where, you know, seemingly on a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: daily basis, something else is becoming the main topic on
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Twitter where everybody runs wild with it. So look, they
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: have not had a good year at all. It has
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: not gone the way they wanted it to go. Nobody,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: quite frankly, has played particularly well. It's a very short
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: list of guys who have played two expectations, let alone
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: exceeded expectations. But in saying that, you've got Matthews, You've
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: got Nilander, you got Nice, you got John Tavares, You've
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: got you know, Jake McCabe. We'll see what the future
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: holds for Chris Tanev and his availability. You've got three
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: goalies that you theoretically like in Wall and Stollers and
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Dennis Hill to be probably have to make a move
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: on one of them because Dennis Hill to be more
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: clear waivers next year. So you've got some pieces of
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: value that you can move, but you also have a
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: spine of a team that if you have a good
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: off season, you can build around, I think and put
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: them back in a position where they're capable of contending
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: at least for a playoff spot.
• 16:46
