  Speaker 4: Rangers lead. But we'll see.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there was at least one cracking player in the net,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: Alexiak Stevenson out front. That Marson might have been the
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: one that was Alexiak that was in the net.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Oh in a minute.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Cooley was trying to push the chords blocker, but the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: buck was under the cord's left leg, and then Jamie
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Alexiak slid into the goal with the puck.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Here's the call.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: The call in the ice has been overturned to no goal.

  Speaker 6: All right, you called the partner, You called it dead

  Speaker 6: eye in the sky.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Ty car Shay snap his stick in half. He goes

• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Kraken with a goal line.

  Speaker 4: Stand at Gt.

  Speaker 6: Miller Lieutenant shot going to that bar left post. The
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: puck gets onto his stick, he puts it back towards
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: the middle, and then I'm not sure if he was
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: sticking five hole on Joey to Cord, but the chord
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: either way coming up with a big stop.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: There twenty left and over time here comes to Miller
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: here side, Cooley settles, shoots stores Rangers gotten the cord
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to bite Will Cooley right circle.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: He snaps it in by Joey the cord.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Back to back overtime wins for the Rangers, back to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: back overtime losses for the Kracking.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: They fall three too so a tough way for it
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to end with the Krack and falling three to two
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: in sudden depth overtime. They've been involved in plenty of
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: one goal games throughout the entire season, and this one
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: ending on similar terms just like with Montreal's game back
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, last shot wins and that coming courtesy the visitors,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: this time Will Cooley picking up his second goal of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the season. The Krack and though getting their third goal
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: of the year from Chandler Stevenson third goal of the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: year from Brandon Montur despite firing a new Franchin's low
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: thirteen shots in one game outshot by the Rangers twenty
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: seven to thirteen, as Igor Sisterkin picked up the win
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: with eleven saves on thirteen shots and Joey Decord taking
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the overtime loss with twenty four saves on twenty seven shots.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Back to practice on Sunday, head coach Lane Lambert spoke
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: more coming out of the overtime loss with the media face.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Officer, I think kind of diving into it, you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: from the startloads a how do you look at success
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: doot as far as a tactical thing or position thing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: Or even an effort, Well, you start with a part
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: or you don't right, So you're you're either making plays
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: or you're chasing the puck and defending, and so you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: I mean, we've talked about it a little bit here
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: and certainly we need to get better in that area.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: Ry Evans progressing. It looks like from red to normal jersey,
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: is he getting like are we starting to talk put
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: him into blind rushes and things like that.
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: Well, optional practice, there's no contact, so there was no
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: point in him having a red jersey on. Yeah, so
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: that's that's that's where we're progressing.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Be wearing red. Then if it was a normal practice.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: He would be wearing red right now. He's day to
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: day and we'll see where it goes from here. He's
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: progressing though.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: And with Joannie drawing out of the lineup last night,
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: is there anything in particular we wanted him to focus on,
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: you know, watching the.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Game, and you know, you know what he First of all,
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: it's not anything he did or didn't do. You know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: Coppo came back into the lineup. We made that decision.
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: That doesn't mean that it's a long term for sure.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: So you know, with him, I think any young player
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: can learn, excuse me, when they're sitting in the stands
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: and again, just positioning for him, not only defensive positioning,
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: but positioning offensively. How can he find areas and find
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: ways to get his shot off and create that space?
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: I asked you last night about well, you gave some
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: great insight on getting out of his own and using
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: that's going to create offense, and he talked about poise
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: and composer with whom bucket and defensive zone. How do
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: you actually teach that that? It almost feels like it
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: would be a like an inherent type of thing as
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: opposed to something that he's learned, like, how do you
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: practice that?
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: Well, it can be an inherent thing, there's no question
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: about it. Obviously, it's you know, it's an instinctual thing.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: But there is ways to help, and there's ways from
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: a team standpoint to find solutions and to be honest
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: with you, I thought, you know, last night, we didn't
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: spend nearly as much time in in our zone as
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: as we have. We did a better job of getting
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: pucks out, We did a better job on the walls.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: You know, we had some early turnovers where you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: they kind of stand out a little bit, but you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: certainly towards the second half of the game, our numbers
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: and our time spent in our zone was very very good. Uh,
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: you know, from that standpoint, and you know, if we
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: can continue that trend, we'll we'll be trending upward. Obviously
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: the line of Miller's beIN a JAD and you know,
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: Paneren are a very good line and so they were
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: able to spend some time in our zone and make
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: some plays. But other than that, I thought we did
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: a pretty good job.
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: Lane.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Reaching back to a training camp for a minute, O'Brian said,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a really good first one snade the HL player in
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the mud.
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: What did you see from him?
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Williams here just a smart player, you know, and for
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: me it was nice to see him, you know, with
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: his offensive abilities also you know, playing a two hundred
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: foot game. That was probably the biggest thing that I
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: noticed about him was you know, his ability to see
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: the game from both sides of the bucket.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Well, for player like that is being a camp to
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: house so.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: Sort of lookally great for him to know.
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: Well, sure, you know leadership qualities when you're a captain
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: of any team, there's certain lessons that you know and
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: experiences that you get and you learn and you learn from.
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: About seven days from now, we have four more games
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: wiped off the calendar, and it was also.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Back to back and this is kind of a contrasted
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: light that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: These guys just went through.
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: So how much do you kind of do that maybe
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: as rhythm.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: And you know, probably a positive kind of these guys,
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: you know a little bit more doubt in.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: This worth well, you do start to you know, like
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: you say, you do start to get into a rhythm.
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: And again we've had, you know, we did have a
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: couple of good practice days, you know, but with you know,
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: as of lilast night, including last night, five games in
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: you know, eight or nine days and some traveling, some
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: back to back included in that. You've got to manage
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: your rest, you know, while maintaining the rhythm, and the
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: rhythm is you know, you get into you get into
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: game mode for the most part. So you know, we're
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: looking forward.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: To that couch.
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: I've chat with a couple of the guys about Josh
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: Mhura what kind of teammate he is. They've said very
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: good things. What have you see it from him in
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: terms of how he interacts with his teammates?
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, just you know, there I concur with what they say. Certainly,
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: you know, he's a team first guy period. He's got
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: great energy, positive energy, you know, so I think really
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: really good for the group in terms of you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: being a good teammate no matter what's going on, whether
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: it's in good times or bad times. That's what I've
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: seen so far.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: And in his tenure at the Crack, And he's had
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: sometimes where he's kind of like in and out of
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: the lineup. What has what have you seen him on
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: the ice that's kind of made you trust.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Him in his role?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: Well, he's you know, he's very responsible and he reminds
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: me a little bit of Langrin in terms of commitment level.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: You know, he's got a great commitment level. He you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: when when there's something that needs to be done, whether
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: it's a shot be blocked or or to pay the
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: price to do something, pay the price to you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: to make a play, he'll do it. So uh you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: the other side of it too is that you know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: he's his mobility's pretty good and he's able to make
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: pretty decent breakout passes. So I've I've thought he's done
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: a very good job here over the first uh first
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: eleven games.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: That's head coach Lane Lambert and the Kraken trying to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: get back to reinforcing key principles when it comes to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: getting out of their own defensive zone face offs, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: just plainly getting more shots on net. They'll put that
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to the test of this evening against Chicago, a team
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that didn't draw a lot of high expectations on paper
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: before this season, but Connor Bedard going next level has
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: certainly helped Chicago's cause so far under new head coach
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Chef Blaschel. The Blackhawks coming in at five four to
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: three in just twelve games certainly a promising start all
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: things considered. They were a lottery team once again last
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: year in the midst of a rebuild. That season, they
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: were thirty first in the NHL with a minus seventy
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: gold differential, and the Krack is now trying to grab
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: their fourth win in the last five meetings against Chicago
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and grab their ninth win in thirteen games all time.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: More reunions in store. Andre Borakowski left the Krack in
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: this last summer in a trade to Chicago. He's back
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: in Seattle for the first time since that deal. He
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: owns nine points in eleven games. Ryan Denado, former Krack
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and Ford as well, back with Chicago coming off a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: massive contract extension. He owns eight points in twelve games,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: not to mention six goals. Right now tied with Connor Bedard.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Badard, at twenty years of age, he already
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: owns fifteen points in twelve games and one of the
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: more dangerous forwards as far as end to end rushes,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: not just him, but another part of their youth, also
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: chipping in Frank Naser twenty seven points in fifty four
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: games last season but earning a big contract after that,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and Nasers so far nearly at point per game totals
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the Detroit, Michigan product, owning eleven points in twelve games.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: The big question here for Chicago is this start sustainable again.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: They are five to four and three through eleven games,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: gold differential sitting at plus three, but recently they pushed
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Edmonton to the limit, getting an overtime point despite taking
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: a three to two overtime loss at Rogers Place back
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, when Evan Bouchard scored two forty three into
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: ot Blackhawks goals courtesy Tyler Bertuzzi and Andre Borikowsky as
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: well scored in period two and period three respectively. So
• 15:55
