Speaker 4: With seventeen oh three left here in the second boll.
2:14
Speaker 3: I mentioned it moments ago with Jeordan Nibley. Four check

3:00
Speaker 3: excuse me, everybody gets the puck behind the net, finds
3:03

4:12
Speaker 3: There's the horn and the Seattle cracket. Get back in
4:17
Speaker 3: the win column after back to back over time defeats
4:21
Speaker 3: three to one against Chicago.
4:23
Speaker 2: Well, from time to time we invite those from the
4:26
Speaker 2: podcast space because they are so talented, so hard working,
4:30
Speaker 2: and this guy joining me here is certainly no exception.
4:33
Speaker 2: RJ Eskinos one half of the Emerald City Hockey crew. RJ,
4:38
Speaker 2: please say hi to Dylan for us. If we're doing well.
4:41
Speaker 2: How you holding up here heading into game day?
4:43
Speaker 4: Doing great? Thanks? I'll say how to Dylan, and I
4:45
Speaker 4: just want to thank you for having me on.
4:46
Speaker 2: Pleasure is mine sir, pleasure is mine. Let's dive into
4:49
Speaker 2: the first twelve games here for this team this season,
4:52
Speaker 2: coming off the three to one win over Chicago. There
4:54
Speaker 2: are two schools of thought. But before we get into
4:57
Speaker 2: deep details here on this, I mean, I'm going back
5:00
Speaker 2: and thinking in preseason RJ there are not many prognosticators
5:05
Speaker 2: picking the Crack and to be where they are at
5:08
Speaker 2: right now, they went to bed with their heads hitting pillows,
5:12
Speaker 2: first place in the Pacific Division. So I think, to you,
5:16
Speaker 2: what defines the first twelve games of this season.
5:19
Speaker 4: I think hard work and the Lane Lambert system for
5:22
Speaker 4: the Crack, and I think that's the biggest different We
5:24
Speaker 4: get so many questions from fans about well, what are
5:26
Speaker 4: the Cracking doing right? Why are they winning these games?
5:29
Speaker 4: And I think so much of it just comes down
5:31
Speaker 4: to effort. They are working really hard, they're out working
5:34
Speaker 4: on other teams, and they're sticking to a defined system.
5:36
Speaker 4: And we know that that can work in the NHL
5:38
Speaker 4: if you put in that work. And I think one
5:40
Speaker 4: of the stats that really jumps out to me is
5:42
Speaker 4: that the Kraken skate more than any other team. You
5:45
Speaker 4: look at the NHL edge stats and the Krakens skate
5:48
Speaker 4: more miles on average per team per game than anybody
5:51
Speaker 4: else in the league, and so it shows the Lane
5:53
Speaker 4: Lambert system. It's demanding a lot of the players, but
5:55
Speaker 4: so far they're delivering.
5:57
Speaker 2: I think we're going to see a little bit of
5:58
Speaker 2: that put into place once again for the back to
6:00
Speaker 2: back when that happens this week, because it didn't go
6:02
Speaker 2: so well first time out Philadelphia and Washington different circumstances here,
6:07
Speaker 2: but more of this being put into place coming up
6:10
Speaker 2: here for Saint Louis and Dallas when this home stand ends.
6:13
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think whether it's the wins on the
6:17
Speaker 2: road that this team has bagged already, like at Toronto
6:21
Speaker 2: at Winnipeg, or maybe it's the injuries and overcoming them
6:25
Speaker 2: with Jeed mccannon on a shelf for so long, or
6:28
Speaker 2: anything else. What's the biggest surprise to you about this team?
6:32
Speaker 4: Man? I think there's the consistent effort, but also just
6:35
Speaker 4: like yeah, just that they're having that success despite the injuries.
6:38
Speaker 4: But I think also the luck, because I think there's
6:41
Speaker 4: that element too. Where to me, it feels like the
6:44
Speaker 4: krakenner are starting to feel a little bit like that
6:46
Speaker 4: team of destiny we see it every year in the NHL.
6:49
Speaker 4: There's one or two teams that nobody predicted would make
6:52
Speaker 4: the playoffs. And who's underlying numbers. Maybe you don't even
6:54
Speaker 4: look that good like the Krack and don't jump off
6:56
Speaker 4: the page when you look at the stats. But they
6:58
Speaker 4: play hard, they get good goaltending, and they get a
7:01
Speaker 4: little bit of the luck too, and so far, I
7:02
Speaker 4: think the cracket maybe tracking that way, and so when
7:06
Speaker 4: they're play well, they're rewarded for it. When they don't
7:08
Speaker 4: play well, it feels like they're still rewarded for it
7:09
Speaker 4: a little bit. And I think that's one of those
7:11
Speaker 4: hallmarks of the team of destiny where it's hard to quantify,
7:15
Speaker 4: but it feels like luck has been on the crack
7:16
Speaker 4: and side as well, in addition to the work. I
7:19
Speaker 4: don't want to say that it's undeserved. They're putting in
7:21
Speaker 4: the work, but they're making their own luck too. And
7:23
Speaker 4: that's after last season where it felt like so many
7:25
Speaker 4: things went wrong. It feels like a bit of a surprise.
7:28
Speaker 2: Yeah right. I mean coaches will often say that you
7:30
Speaker 2: work hard for your own luck, and things bounce that way,
7:32
Speaker 2: you can't track it. Maybe with deep analytics here, But
7:35
Speaker 2: that's just how it shakes out as a cracking through
7:37
Speaker 2: twelve games right now so far. Pardon me, carrying a
7:42
Speaker 2: record right now of sixty two and four sixteen points
7:46
Speaker 2: in the Pacific Division. Diving into the game against Chicago
7:51
Speaker 2: from two nights ago, three to one victory, I think
7:54
Speaker 2: to me it was impressive, not just from the standpoint
7:58
Speaker 2: of they were able to get out of a relatively
8:01
Speaker 2: low event and game. Maybe we're questioning shots on goal
8:04
Speaker 2: for the first half and it look kind of eerily
8:06
Speaker 2: similar to the New York Rangers game here, but also
8:09
Speaker 2: the time that they spent early on back again in
8:12
Speaker 2: their own defensive zone, and we're I think it may
8:14
Speaker 2: be oh, but then a shot by Jamie Alexia finds
8:18
Speaker 2: its way in and Maddie Baniers kicks in a power
8:20
Speaker 2: play goal off of filthy pass from Jordan Everly. So
8:24
Speaker 2: you know, I think from the standpoint of they were
8:27
Speaker 2: able to fire their game up late in the third
8:30
Speaker 2: period and eventually pulled away said something where they weren't
8:34
Speaker 2: staring overtime again right smack in the face. What was
8:38
Speaker 2: your takeaway from two nights ago?
8:40
Speaker 4: And I think this is a pattern that we're seeing
8:42
Speaker 4: with the Kraken where maybe they don't always have the
8:44
Speaker 4: hottest starts, but they're really good at escaping those early plays.
8:48
Speaker 4: And I feel like, one of these days, all these
8:50
Speaker 4: backdoor plays are great chances they let into early, it's
8:53
Speaker 4: going to connect. Just one of these games for some
8:55
Speaker 4: team and they're gonna put up like seven. But that's
8:57
Speaker 4: okay because most of the time it doesn't happen, and
9:00
Speaker 4: they just waited out and they score first, as they
9:02
Speaker 4: have so many times this season, and at that point
9:04
Speaker 4: they just feel confident, and you see their opponent their
9:07
Speaker 4: confidence just starts to fade away as the game goes
9:10
Speaker 4: on and they realize, man, we're not scoring. It's going
9:13
Speaker 4: to be really difficult to score to beat this defensive
9:16
Speaker 4: core and Joey to coord And you saw that in
9:18
Speaker 4: the start of the third period two against Chicago, where
9:21
Speaker 4: I mean, that was the worst that Chicago had played
9:23
Speaker 4: all game. Normally, you expect a team to put on
9:25
Speaker 4: a push as they're trying to tie the game, but
9:26
Speaker 4: they just felt kind of tired and demoralized at the
9:29
Speaker 4: start of the third and I seek the crack and
9:31
Speaker 4: are doing that to a lot of their opponents. When
9:33
Speaker 4: they score first.
9:34
Speaker 2: Joey Decord empty net goalie goal by New Year's Day
9:38
Speaker 2: against Nashville over under.
9:40
Speaker 4: I think by New Year's Day. No, I think it'll
9:42
Speaker 4: be in twenty twenty six. I think he'll score. But
9:45
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, you think maybe.
9:47
Speaker 2: About you know, two years after the winner classic and
9:49
Speaker 2: maybe what was as big as signature when it'd be
9:52
Speaker 2: funny if that was maybe a signature moment where he
9:54
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, tucks one in New
9:57
Speaker 2: Year's Day again on this schedule, and I think for me,
10:00
Speaker 2: it's it's a matter of time where it's going to
10:03
Speaker 2: happen one of these days here for Joey to Cord
10:05
Speaker 2: and he's gonna launch a PGA Tour sixty foot high
10:09
Speaker 2: lob shot over everyone and there is no defense stopping
10:13
Speaker 2: that thing as it rolls all the way down the ice.
10:15
Speaker 2: Because it almost happened twice and the other night against Chicago, yeah, he.
10:18
Speaker 4: Went for it twice. Love to see the confidence from
10:20
Speaker 4: you know, he's not going to stop shooting, as he said,
10:22
Speaker 4: shoot or shoot, So I shot it right, and he's
10:25
Speaker 4: gonna keep shooting. And I love that he told us
10:27
Speaker 4: that specifically I'm gonna keep shooting it, don't worry. So
10:30
Speaker 4: it's only a matter of time for Joey to Cord.
10:32
Speaker 4: We'll just see when it is.
10:34
Speaker 2: Rgscano is joining us from Emerald City Hockey here on
10:36
Speaker 2: Cracking this morning. As we're getting stuff with the Cracking
10:38
Speaker 2: and Sharks, we'll get here to more. I think of
10:41
Speaker 2: one of the more young, exciting but sneaky, dangerous teams,
10:45
Speaker 2: and it has a similar feel to Chicago. But I
10:48
Speaker 2: want to touch on Berkeley Catton for a little bit,
10:50
Speaker 2: and time is getting short as far as decision day.
10:55
Speaker 2: He's got seven games already under his belt, two more
11:00
Speaker 2: and then the Crack and have to decide what they
11:02
Speaker 2: want to do with him long term before that first
11:06
Speaker 2: year of his deal kicks. In three assaysts so far,
11:10
Speaker 2: we have seen him play up and down the lineup.
11:13
Speaker 2: They've tried him at center, they moved him back to
11:15
Speaker 2: the wing. So RJ, if I can get your eyes
11:19
Speaker 2: on this to you, what's your read on Berkeley Catton
11:22
Speaker 2: as far as him staying long term versus going back
11:25
Speaker 2: to major Junior.
11:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think with Berkeley Catton, you know, there's
11:28
Speaker 4: some positives to his game. I think He's certainly looked
11:31
Speaker 4: like he's belonged playing with some good players with Matty
11:33
Speaker 4: Beniers and Jordan Everley. But there are some drawbacks as well,
11:36
Speaker 4: and I think that line lost a bit of its
11:38
Speaker 4: juice the last few games, and so you saw the
11:40
Speaker 4: crack and change that up. For the Chicago game, Berkeley
11:42
Speaker 4: Catton plays as the fourth line center, plays a lot
11:45
Speaker 4: fewer minutes, and maybe if you know Ben Myers isn't
11:48
Speaker 4: kind of a last minute scratch, that you do something different.
11:50
Speaker 4: I think going forward with him, they've got a couple
11:53
Speaker 4: more games here that I think you could play him.
11:55
Speaker 4: But I think really the plan should be once you
11:58
Speaker 4: hit that nine game mark or a little bit short
12:00
Speaker 4: of it, you do the thing where you scratch him
12:02
Speaker 4: for five games, then he's eligible for a two week
12:04
Speaker 4: conditioning stint and Coachella Valley. I would love to see
12:06
Speaker 4: what Berkeley Catton could do in CV for a couple
12:09
Speaker 4: weeks on that Firebirds team. I think ideally that's where
12:12
Speaker 4: you would have had him the whole season, but because
12:14
Speaker 4: of the rules in the NHL COCHL agreement, you can't
12:16
Speaker 4: do that. But I think that would be the plan
12:18
Speaker 4: if I was in charge that's the plan, and then
12:20
Speaker 4: that leads you up to the World Juniors. He can
12:22
Speaker 4: play in the World Juniors, and then you see where
12:24
Speaker 4: he's from from there, and more importantly, you see where
12:27
Speaker 4: the team is at. Are the Krakens still in a
12:29
Speaker 4: playoff spot potentially? You know where are they trending? Can
12:33
Speaker 4: you give him enough ice time to develop him? And
12:34
Speaker 4: if not, maybe you think about Spokane.
12:36
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it makes a difference here obviously,
12:38
Speaker 2: but it just kind of makes you think the role
12:41
Speaker 2: that's going to get put into place next year maybe
12:43
Speaker 2: helps out a guy like Jack O'Brien. But you can't
12:46
Speaker 2: help but think how much more of a runway that
12:48
Speaker 2: Berkeley Catton could have right now if he could play
12:51
Speaker 2: more games in the American Hockey leagu for example.
12:54
Speaker 4: Definitely, and it's a great rule change that the NHL
12:57
Speaker 4: and CHL are going to make. It's gonna help so
12:59
Speaker 4: many players. I mean, with Jacobrien, you look what he's
13:01
Speaker 4: doing in juniors, he's leading the OHL in scoring. Next year,
13:04
Speaker 4: he's going to have nothing to learn at the junior
13:07
Speaker 4: level and so that's going to help him be where
13:08
Speaker 4: he really should be.
13:10
Speaker 2: Got unsung hero on this team so far rj.
13:14
Speaker 4: Unsung hero, Yes, I do. I think it's Jamie Alexiak.
13:17
Speaker 4: I'm going way unsung because I mean, he did score
13:20
Speaker 4: last night against Chicago, but I swear I said this
13:22
Speaker 4: on our post game show the Ico Game. He did
13:25
Speaker 4: get the F one helmet. I think it's well deserved goal. Aside,
13:29
Speaker 4: I think he has been super solid defensively, and man,
13:32
Speaker 4: he's just so much better of a fit for this
13:34
Speaker 4: lane Lambert system and the way they want to play,
13:36
Speaker 4: the way they want to clear out around the front
13:39
Speaker 4: of the net. Then say he was last year under
13:41
Speaker 4: Dan Bilesmath's system. This system just fits im perfectly and
13:45
Speaker 4: you rarely ever noticed and make a mistake. I haven't
13:47
Speaker 4: noticed him make one giant mistake all year, and so
13:50
Speaker 4: kind of guy that's not going to get a lot
13:52
Speaker 4: of headlines if he's not scoring a goal, but he's
13:55
Speaker 4: playing so solid defensively.
13:57
Speaker 2: I mean, it's funny because we're all wandering about three
13:59
Speaker 2: months ago, what's this team gonna do with just the
14:02
Speaker 2: surplus a defenseman they have, and all of a sudden boom,
14:05
Speaker 2: Ryker Evans is on the shelf for several weeks. So
14:08
Speaker 2: this is partially where his game is kicking in with
14:11
Speaker 2: Josh Mhura. Being that Riker Evans has not yet been
14:15
Speaker 2: cleared to play. I want to get to San Jose
14:18
Speaker 2: coming up here this evening, first matchup for the Krack
14:20
Speaker 2: and that they will see with them, And this to
14:23
Speaker 2: me is one of these danger zone type of matchups
14:27
Speaker 2: because it seems as if again they're trying to rebuild
14:30
Speaker 2: this thing, just like Chicago. The Crakens saw them two
14:33
Speaker 2: nights ago, and they can be a long ways away
14:37
Speaker 2: from true contention. But do they have a lot of
14:40
Speaker 2: young and impressive parts they are putting in here on
14:43
Speaker 2: this roster. Matt Vinceelabrini, Will Smith maybe defensively down the road,
14:48
Speaker 2: Sam Dickinson, he started out this year with them, as well,
14:51
Speaker 2: William Ecklund. So this is a team that you can't
14:54
Speaker 2: sleep on. And I would think again, you ask New Jersey,
14:57
Speaker 2: you ask Colorado, and you ask even the Red Wings
15:01
Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Don't sleep on any game with
15:05
Speaker 2: the San Jose Sharks.
15:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Sharks have shown they can be anybody on
15:09
Speaker 4: any given night because of that talent that they have.
15:12
Speaker 4: It's a rough blue line, but man, that young forward
15:14
Speaker 4: group in a few years is going to be I
15:16
Speaker 4: think the envy of the NHL, certainly of the Pacific Division.
15:19
Speaker 4: And you mentioned guys like Macklin, celebrity, Will Smith. Don't
15:23
Speaker 4: forget Michael Misa also well the top picks out of
15:25
Speaker 4: this year's draft, and he's doing well at eighteen, So
15:28
Speaker 4: they've got a lot of talent.
15:30
Speaker 2: If we can entertain a fun question about Maclin celebrity RJ,
15:33
Speaker 2: because you follow this team for a long long time,
15:37
Speaker 2: will he finish short of a career as good as
15:40
Speaker 2: Joe Thornton and Patrick Marlow, as good as Joe Thornton
15:44
Speaker 2: and Patrick Marlow, or better than Joe Thornton and Patrick Marlow.
15:49
Speaker 4: Oh man, you got to put me on the spot
15:51
Speaker 4: with that. Of course, I grew up watching Thornton and
15:53
Speaker 4: Marlow and they are just absolute legends. It's so early
15:57
Speaker 4: to say, but I think what might put him ahead
16:00
Speaker 4: of Thornton and Marlowe is if he wins the Stanley Cup.
16:04
Speaker 4: And I think the way that team is building, it's
16:06
Speaker 4: super early to say anything about whether they can get
16:08
Speaker 4: over the hump, but they've got the start and they've
16:10
Speaker 4: got the pieces. I love the way Macklin Celebrini plays.
16:14
Speaker 4: I think what differs, you know, makes him different from
16:15
Speaker 4: Thornton and Marlowe is just like the compete on the puck.
16:20
Speaker 4: I mean, Dylan was saying this the other day on
16:22
Speaker 4: our post game show. I want to credit him because
16:24
Speaker 4: he's a big dog guy, but he's like, if you've
16:25
Speaker 4: ever seen an over excited yellow lab like just came
16:29
Speaker 4: home from the dog park, has a ball in his mouth,
16:31
Speaker 4: that's Macklin Celebrini. He's bouncing all over the place. He
16:34
Speaker 4: wants that ball. He's not going to let you have
16:36
Speaker 4: that ball. And that's the way Celebrini plays around the puck,
16:39
Speaker 4: and it's just it's something to watch. I don't know
16:41
Speaker 4: if you saw the video of him and Ritz Cider
16:42
Speaker 4: going back and forth in that Shark's Red Wings game,
16:45
Speaker 4: but man, the kid just does not quit.
16:47
Speaker 2: See now, I have to get RJ back on here
16:49
Speaker 2: sometime and say, RJ, give me what dogs you've had
16:52
Speaker 2: previously in your lifetime here, because we have a lot
16:54
Speaker 2: to unpack.
16:56
Speaker 4: I'm more of a cap person. Dylan's the dog expert here.
17:00
Speaker 4: I love the comparison, so I'm gonna steal it. I'll
17:02
Speaker 4: give Dylan credit here, but I wanted to mention.
17:04
Speaker 2: It I had both growing up Maclin celebrating by the way, ooh,
17:08
Speaker 2: no big deal. Eighteen points in thirteen games and as
17:11
Speaker 2: of right now he is well ahead of the curve
17:13
Speaker 2: if you want to compare ages to where Joe Thornton
17:16
Speaker 2: was out of age nineteen and Patrick Marlowe where he
17:19
Speaker 2: was at age nineteen. Looking forward to it, RJ, thank
17:22

Speaker 2: of insight and getting ahead of here for this evening's game,
17:48
Speaker 2: the Kraken with points in ten of their first twelve games,
17:53
Speaker 2: and they're looking to extend their run unbeaten and regulation
17:56
Speaker 2: on home ice, currently four oh and two to begin
18:00
Speaker 2: the regular season at Climate Pledge Arena. With a win,
18:03
Speaker 2: the Kraken can also grab their six win and eight
18:06
Speaker 2: tries at home over San Jose, also looking to improve
18:09
Speaker 2: a nine and six overall record, and it won't be
18:12
Speaker 2: long until they square off again in just ten days
18:15
Speaker 2: from now, that game, same place, right back here at
18:19
Speaker 2: Climate Pledge Arena, and then these two teams wrapping things
18:22
Speaker 2: up as far as the season series before Christmas December
18:25
Speaker 2: twenty for the Krack and only visit to San Jose.
18:29
Speaker 2: Among the names to watch, Jordan Everley not just right now,
18:33
Speaker 2: sharing the Kraken scoring lead with twelve points in ten games.
18:36
Speaker 2: Like Jaden Schwartz, it's Everle who right now leads all
18:39
Speaker 2: Kraken skaters all time against San Jose twenty nine points,
18:44
Speaker 2: by the way, also tied for first on the KRACK
18:47
Speaker 2: and all time with eleven goals with Jayden Schwartz also
18:50
Speaker 2: who's got twenty seven points in thirty five games in
18:54
Speaker 2: his career against San Jose. On the Shark side, they
18:58
Speaker 2: might be a ways away from I'm putting it all
19:00
Speaker 2: together long term, but you can see already glimpses of
19:03
Speaker 2: their future kicking in as far as production and results.
19:07
Speaker 2: The Sharks four six and three with eleven points so
19:10
Speaker 2: far in thirteen games. Most recently they took Detroit all
19:15
Speaker 2: the way into overtime, losing three to two in a shootout.
19:18
Speaker 2: And even though players like celebrity William Ecklund and Will
19:22
Speaker 2: Smith are grabbing plenty of attention, the hottest right now
19:25
Speaker 2: as far as the Sharks offensively is Philip Kurashev coming
19:28
Speaker 2: in with a five game point streak. He's got eight
19:30
Speaker 2: points in that spam. Looking forward to it. Hope you
19:33
Speaker 2: can join us here for another night of the Krack
19:36
Speaker 2: and rolling out their alternate third jersey. Certainly it is
19:39
Speaker 2: made to menace and the Krack and trying to put
