Speaker 2: by Luna and Symetra.
0:20
Speaker 3: Seattle return home on Sunday to take on the Buffalo Sabers,
0:24
Speaker 3: looking to rebound from a top loss in Utah on Friday.
0:28
Speaker 3: Despite some good chances early, it was the Sabers who
0:31
Speaker 3: took a one nothing lead after the first and extended their.
0:34
Speaker 1: Advantage to nothing midway through two.
0:37
Speaker 3: Chandler Stevenson lit the lamp on the power play, giving
0:40
Speaker 3: the Kraken some life moments later. However, an empty goal
0:44
Speaker 3: in the final minutes of the third sealed the krakens
0:47
Speaker 3: fate three to one. Tonight, in the final home game
0:50
Speaker 3: before the holiday breaks, Seattle welcomes in the cream of
0:53
Speaker 3: the NHL crop in the Colorado Avalanche, who have dropped
0:57
Speaker 3: just two games all season in regulation. Good evening, ladies
1:02
Speaker 3: and gentlemen, Happy holidays. Welcome inside of Climate Pledgerina alongside
1:07
Speaker 3: al Kaniski, I am ever it fits you. This is
1:09
Speaker 3: Seattle Crack and Hockey on the Global Credit Union Cracking
1:12
Speaker 3: Audio Network. You are listening to the pregame show served
1:15
Speaker 3: up by Frost Brew Corse Late Choose Chill.
1:17
Speaker 1: A three to one loss for.
1:19
Speaker 3: Seattle at home on Sunday against the Buffalo Sabers. The
1:23
Speaker 3: Cracking getting their power play going once again one for
1:26
Speaker 3: four on the night or the Crack on the power
1:28
Speaker 3: play was not enough for Seattle, who still have struggled.
1:32
Speaker 1: To find the offense.
1:33
Speaker 3: I guess a saving Grayson that game partner Kraken out
1:36
Speaker 3: shooting Buffalo by.
1:37
Speaker 1: A twenty four to twenty three margin.
1:39
Speaker 3: Now four power play goals or five power play goals
1:42
Speaker 3: in their last four games, however, not enough for Seattle.
1:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bottom line is you lost the game, but
1:46
Speaker 4: that the Cracking were in it again. It was a
1:48
Speaker 4: tight game. They were two for two on their penalty killed.
1:50
Speaker 4: They did get that power play goal as you mentioned,
1:52
Speaker 4: so special teams were checkmark. As far as I'm concerned,
1:56
Speaker 4: it was the even strength that hurt the crackend. The
1:58
Speaker 4: other night in that loss, Channel Stevens had an excellent
2:01
Speaker 4: game and Seattle actually had eleven high danger chances, they
2:05
Speaker 4: were just not able to finish them at even strength,
2:07
Speaker 4: and that was the difference.
2:08
Speaker 3: You'll listen to a number of players after that game
2:11
Speaker 3: against Buffalo and overall the last handful of games, cracking
2:14
Speaker 3: now one seven and one in their last nine, you
2:17
Speaker 3: can really sense the frustration that this team is so close.
2:20
Speaker 3: They're not getting blown out every night there every The
2:24
Speaker 3: effort is there, the identity is there, but the results
2:28
Speaker 3: have not matched that effort. And going up against a
2:31
Speaker 3: team here tonight in the Colorado Avalanche, you're going to
2:33
Speaker 3: need every bit of that effort here again, you absolutely are.
2:36
Speaker 4: And if we've heard Lame Lambert talk about playing a
2:38
Speaker 4: perfect game, and I'm okay with striving for that perfect game,
2:41
Speaker 4: because you know you're gonna have to play as close
2:43
Speaker 4: to a perfect game you can here to give yourself
2:45
Speaker 4: a shot at winning.
2:46
Speaker 5: But it's gonna start at your own end.
2:48
Speaker 4: You've got to have the defensive structure that he is
2:51
Speaker 4: inserted into this into this team.
2:52
Speaker 5: You've got to have good goaltending. You've got to have
2:54
Speaker 5: good putt clears.
2:55
Speaker 4: You start to limiting those odd man rushes for Colorado,
2:58
Speaker 4: you limit their goals against it. If you can keep
3:00
Speaker 4: this game to three or less goals against, it puts
3:03
Speaker 4: you in a position to win it.
3:04
Speaker 1: And on the other side of the red line.
3:06
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Colorado Avalanche, they are on a historic
3:10
Speaker 3: pace twenty three to two and seven fifty three points,
3:13
Speaker 3: first in the NHL overall, Nathan McKinnon first to fifty
3:18
Speaker 3: fifty five points in just thirty two games.
3:21
Speaker 5: The Avs lead the.
3:22
Speaker 3: NHL in just about every statistical category. The only area
3:26
Speaker 3: where they have struggled this season has been on the
3:29
Speaker 3: power play.
3:29
Speaker 1: They are twenty eighth in the NHL on.
3:32
Speaker 3: The power play, but first and goals for first, and
3:35
Speaker 3: goals against first in PK. This is a team that
3:37
Speaker 3: so far this season has allowed four or more goals
3:41
Speaker 3: just eight times all year.
3:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, and only that too. But they're high at plus minus.
3:45
Speaker 4: Nathan McKinnon himself as a plus forty, And you think, well,
3:47
Speaker 4: you know, does that mean his defensive game is fantastic
3:51
Speaker 4: in addition to his offensive game. No, what it could
3:53
Speaker 4: mean he's out there for goals against, but he's out
3:56
Speaker 4: there for a.
3:56
Speaker 5: Lot more goals for. And I think that's moore of
3:59
Speaker 5: the case.
4:00
Speaker 3: If you're a player that's got twenty six and twenty
4:02
Speaker 3: nine through thirty two games. You're gonna eat a couple
4:05
Speaker 3: of goals, but you know what you're good far outweighs
4:09
Speaker 3: you're bad.

Speaker 6: for offense Chandler Stevenson getting warmer, Plus we'll catch up
7:38
Speaker 6: with Brandon Montur Jason Botterol as well with some injury updates.
7:42
Speaker 6: And but look at the Avalanche and what's gearing them
7:45
Speaker 6: to the best record in the NHL right now and
7:48
Speaker 6: how to the Kraken find a way to slow them down.
7:52
Speaker 6: The Kraken coming in twelve, twelve and six in this
7:55
Speaker 6: two game homestand finale at thirty points or five back
7:58
Speaker 6: of the cut line in the West, Colorado owning top
8:01
Speaker 6: record in the entire NHL twenty three two and seven
8:05
Speaker 6: fifty three points on the year, they're by the way
8:08
Speaker 6: four zero to one in the last five games. Looking
8:11
Speaker 6: back to Sunday of Buffalo, first of two straight games
8:15
Speaker 6: on the road, the Kraken facing a Sabers team where
8:18
Speaker 6: matters favor in the cracking as far as their home
8:21
Speaker 6: record against the Sabers, But the tough part in this
8:24
Speaker 6: one a team battling illness, plus also Jayden Schwartz, Jared
8:27
Speaker 6: McCann and Bertley Catton out of the lineup due to injuries,
8:31
Speaker 6: and the Kraken found themselves down to nothing and looking
8:34
Speaker 6: for anything offensively. And finally, the power play had to
8:39
Speaker 6: say in the matter.
8:40
Speaker 5: Right here, here's.
8:41
Speaker 3: Vince Dunn left side cracking with the face off. Steven
8:45
Speaker 3: said left circle shots. Taylor Stevens said on the power
8:56
Speaker 3: play has put the cracket.
8:58
Speaker 5: On the board.
8:59
Speaker 1: They trim that deficit in half two one seven thirty
9:03
Speaker 1: six to play.
9:04
Speaker 5: In the second well Matty Pinier's with a faced off win.
9:07
Speaker 4: Jordaniblei taps it back defense to the point done down
9:10
Speaker 4: to Stevenson with a se ice shot from the left side,
9:14
Speaker 4: short side on Alex Lyon two to one.
9:18
Speaker 6: Perhaps an indication special teams are finding daylight. That Stevenson
9:22
Speaker 6: goal gave him points now in five straight games, but
9:26
Speaker 6: it was the only source of offense for the entire day.
9:28
Speaker 6: On the Kranken side they filled three to one to
9:30
Speaker 6: Buffalo is Alex Lyon at twenty three saves in that
9:33
Speaker 6: opposite side, Joey to coord tofending for him despite his
9:36
Speaker 6: efforts with twenty saves on twenty two shots. But about
9:39
Speaker 6: the special teams the power play, they now scored a
9:42
Speaker 6: goal by the way for the fourth time last six games,
9:45
Speaker 6: going seven of twenty two in that span, and the
9:47
Speaker 6: penalty kill for good measure, killing off both sabers power
9:51
Speaker 6: play chances, and they have now killed off ten of
9:54
Speaker 6: the last twelve opposition opportunities. But of course the offense
9:58
Speaker 6: we talked about this still searching for solutions. It was
10:02
Speaker 6: eight time this year the Kracking were held to a
10:04
Speaker 6: goal or less and now they're trying to break out
10:06
Speaker 6: of a slide of just one win in the past
10:09
Speaker 6: nine games. So for this evening it's about locking in
10:12
Speaker 6: for what's worked so far, because defensively the Krakens still
10:15
Speaker 6: continue to be dialed in for the most part. They
10:17
Speaker 6: moved up to twelfth in the NHL and fewer shots
10:20
Speaker 6: allowed at twenty seven. The penalty kill, as we said,
10:23
Speaker 6: they change their structure. Lane Lambert has more on that later.
10:27
Speaker 6: Plus goaltending still very strong for best right now in
10:30
Speaker 6: the NHL five on five team save percentage that's at
10:33
Speaker 6: nine to two five. Of course, the penalty killed maybe
10:36
Speaker 6: drops a bit overall for the entire season, but for
10:39
Speaker 6: the Kracking, when you can stay out of the box,
10:41
Speaker 6: goaltending certainly has been there a ton this year. For
10:45
Speaker 6: as far as offense is concerned, the road remains tough.
10:49
Speaker 6: So for the kracking, how much can they dig deep
10:51
Speaker 6: right now? Two point four goals a game they're trying
10:54
Speaker 6: to raise that is right now in the NHL's basement,
10:57
Speaker 6: And when you factor in Jared mccannon Jayden Schwartz out
10:59
Speaker 6: of the lineup, it is tough right now because the
11:01
Speaker 6: two combining for thirteen goals mccam by the way, five
11:05
Speaker 6: goals in eleven games, which accounts right now for those
11:08
Speaker 6: two seventeen percent of the entire goal scoring in the
11:11
Speaker 6: Craken lineup. So the reinforced message for the kracking is
11:15
Speaker 6: where they're trying to hunt for offense in location. They'll
11:18
Speaker 6: also potentially get a boost here with Mason Marshmen back
11:21
Speaker 6: in practice the other day looking like he could begin
11:24
Speaker 6: here for tonight. He had two goals against Utah in
11:26
Speaker 6: his previous game and was out due to illness on Sunday.
11:30
Speaker 6: That here brings us into our conversation with Brandon Montor
11:33
Speaker 6: about how the Crack and react from Sunday's game, where
11:36
Speaker 6: energy and emotion were certainly a part of the conversation
11:40
Speaker 6: and in practice, Montors said that moving on begins with
11:44
Speaker 6: the right mindset.
11:45
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think again it's it's you know,
11:48
Speaker 10: going the wrong way right now, it's you know, things
11:50
Speaker 10: that we don't like. We're obviously losing games. I just
11:54
Speaker 10: thinking in the nature of just for forgetting about the
11:56
Speaker 10: past and working kind of towards you know, what we've
12:00
Speaker 10: done well and try to get that as quick as
12:02
Speaker 10: you can.
12:02
Speaker 6: When you're a team trying to figure out the smooth
12:05
Speaker 6: pat back offensively, how do you figure the small stuff
12:08
Speaker 6: when it comes to you know, screens, rebounds, other things
12:10
Speaker 6: that are making the biggest key and the biggest difference
12:13
Speaker 6: as far as offense.
12:13
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think we're a team that's not
12:15
Speaker 10: gonna you know, score those you know, individual like nice,
12:19
Speaker 10: nice goals. I think we obviously struggle to score goals,
12:22
Speaker 10: so we got to get in those dirty areas. We're
12:24
Speaker 10: not doing that nearly enough. And I think obviously this
12:27
Speaker 10: this season we haven't scored enough, which you know, you
12:30
Speaker 10: need that to score, you know, you need to to
12:31
Speaker 10: win the games, and we struggle in that category. But
12:35
Speaker 10: I think you know, we got players in this you
12:37
Speaker 10: know locker room that can score goals, can shoot the puck,
12:39
Speaker 10: and we just got to find ways to you know,
12:41
Speaker 10: be more desperate, you know, neft front, like you said,
12:45
Speaker 10: getting screens, getting dirty goals. I think, you know, we
12:48
Speaker 10: might have a lot of you know, I'm talking to
12:50
Speaker 10: some of the coaches B and C chances, but we
12:52
Speaker 10: don't have a lot of A chances and when you
12:55
Speaker 10: obviously need to get more of those.
12:56
Speaker 6: The power play getting a goal the other night. It
12:58
Speaker 6: seems like matters are gradually turning a corner here for
13:01
Speaker 6: the units. What's working more when it comes to shop volume.
13:04
Speaker 10: Just being aggressive. I think you know again, you know what,
13:09
Speaker 10: it doesn't go the right way or slow, not necessarily
13:13
Speaker 10: processing it. You're trying to make the right play, the
13:15
Speaker 10: cute plays sometimes you know, shoot shooting more.
13:18
Speaker 5: Mentality is better, And yeah, that's that's That's what I
13:23
Speaker 5: could say about.
13:23
Speaker 6: That practice on Monday. How'd you feel about it? And
13:26
Speaker 6: what's getting this team geared from the right direction again?
13:29
Speaker 10: Try to again forget about you know, obviously you gotta
13:31
Speaker 10: work towards what we've been you know, lacking, but you
13:35
Speaker 10: gotta keep the mentality of just kind of another game.
13:38
Speaker 10: We got another tough opponent. It's not supposed to be easy,
13:41
Speaker 10: so you guys should be excited about tonight.
13:43
Speaker 6: What's the biggest key with hand when the schedule right now,
13:45
Speaker 6: being that you're playing so many games and just so
13:47
Speaker 6: little time.
13:47
Speaker 5: Before the holiday break.
13:48
Speaker 10: Yeah, recover, you know obviously, when you you have bumps
13:52
Speaker 10: and bruises, you gotta you know, maintain them. But again,
13:55
Speaker 10: just stay mentally physically, you know, within the game, and
13:59
Speaker 10: you know, be ready ago just because there's so many games,
14:01
Speaker 10: like you said, and you gotta be ready.
14:04
Speaker 6: The team coming up on the other side of the
14:06
Speaker 6: ice is quite the challenge in Colorado. It seems like
14:08
Speaker 6: as a lot going for him. But you know it's
14:10
Speaker 6: not the first time that you know, you and these
14:12
Speaker 6: other guys have faced a team rolling like they are.
14:15
Speaker 6: So what's the difference in how you defend, first off,
14:18
Speaker 6: a guy like Nathan McKinnon versus other superstars in this league.
14:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, you gotta maintain his speed. Obviously, he's gonna create chances.
14:24
Speaker 10: He's gonna get his chances, but you gotta limit them
14:26
Speaker 10: as best you can. Get in his face, play him hard,
14:29
Speaker 10: get your stick in his lane, you know. But like
14:32
Speaker 10: a guy that got you got to maintain stay out
14:34
Speaker 10: of the box. Obviously, they're really huge there. But they're
14:36
Speaker 10: a heck of a team out there. And you know,
14:38
Speaker 10: I think for our team, our Josh, play smart, be
14:41
Speaker 10: in their face, play with speed, and make a challenging
14:44
Speaker 10: for their top guys. And if we do that, I
14:46
Speaker 10: think it should be a really good game.
14:48
Speaker 6: Finally, at this point of the season, what have you
14:49
Speaker 6: appreciated about the value of leadership in this room and
14:52
Speaker 6: especially others underhead coach Land Lambert ere in this first year.
14:55
Speaker 10: Yeah, Lan's mcgutt. He's a communicator. He's not obviously happy
14:59
Speaker 10: we're with that, and he's not going to accept that.
15:01
Speaker 10: So I think that's you know, good for us to have,
15:04
Speaker 10: you know, a guy that you know we can lead,
15:06
Speaker 10: lean on, lead us, you know, to getting us in
15:09
Speaker 10: the right direction. And again he's positive, but you know
15:13
Speaker 10: when we need to you know, kicking the uh kicking
15:16
Speaker 10: the butt, he's he's there to kind of be ready
15:18
Speaker 10: for us, and obviously it's nice to have.
15:21
Speaker 5: Him on our side. Appreciate this, Brandon, thank you, Yeah,
15:23
Speaker 5: thank you.
15:24
Speaker 6: So the crack and looking for a boost from that
15:26
Speaker 6: mindset against Colorado first of three meetings and after this evening,
15:30
Speaker 6: these two teams won't need to get until after the
15:32
Speaker 6: trade deadline. Right back Aaron Seattle on March twelfth. Your
15:35
Speaker 6: cracking story lines first up again with Chandler Stevenson and
15:38
Speaker 6: his impact potentially up against Nathan McKinnon. That could be
15:42
Speaker 6: a big match up to watch. He's got points now
15:44
Speaker 6: in each of the last five games, up to seventeen
15:47
Speaker 6: points now third on the Crack and in scoring. Secondly,
15:50
Speaker 6: Philip Grubauer back in it, and once again can he
15:53
Speaker 6: give his former team fits against Colorado. He's held his
15:57
Speaker 6: own five five and one thirteen games, so that doesn't
15:59
Speaker 6: all include the first round of the twenty twenty three
16:02
Speaker 6: Stanley Cup playoffs where he was sensational in the seven
16:06
Speaker 6: game upset. And to win this evening a miss a
16:08
Speaker 6: turnaround year, would mean his first win since the twenty
16:12
Speaker 6: second of November that was at Pittsburgh. He's looking forward
16:15
Speaker 6: to that certainly. And finally, the Krack and defense where
16:18
Speaker 6: a big test is coming in this trained versus straight
16:21
Speaker 6: matchup five on five goals the Krack and typer third
16:24
Speaker 6: fewest allowed in the league with forty nine up against Colorado.
16:28
Speaker 6: Ninety two goals scored at five on five, that is
16:30
Speaker 6: most in the NHL last five krack and wins overall,
16:34
Speaker 6: they've allowed three goals or less. So no Jayden Schwartz,
16:37
Speaker 6: no Jared mccamb Berkeley Catton or goaltender Matt Murray on
16:41
Speaker 6: IR and GM. Jason Botterill joined ninety three to three
16:44
Speaker 6: KJRFM and our friend Ian Furness on Monday for a
16:48
Speaker 6: look on the return of Schwartz, m McCann and five
16:52
Speaker 6: more games to go before the holiday break.
16:56
Speaker 11: Jane Schwartz is maybe the most underrated player that this
17:00
Speaker 11: NHL has right now. I mean, and his importance to
17:02
Speaker 11: your team is is we see it every night now
17:04
Speaker 11: without him out there?
17:05
Speaker 5: Yep.
17:05
Speaker 11: Jared McCann as well, huge huge absences right now with
17:09
Speaker 11: those two guys, specifically how close are they to coming back?
17:12
Speaker 11: And when I ask you about all these things about
17:14
Speaker 11: can you add top six guys and all that, how
17:16
Speaker 11: much of it is just kind of like making sure
17:18
Speaker 11: you kind of stay steady where you are because when
17:20
Speaker 11: you get those guys back, that's like two massive roster.
17:23
Speaker 5: Editions as well.
17:23
Speaker 12: Well, there are two massive roster dishes, and there's still
17:26
Speaker 12: gonna be a little bit of time before coming back
17:27
Speaker 12: from that standpoint, but you know, they just they add
17:31
Speaker 12: so much depth to our organization and to our team.
17:33
Speaker 12: You know, whenever you have those two guys in the lineup,
17:35
Speaker 12: they create so much out there. They both in play,
17:38
Speaker 12: power play, penalty killing, even strength. You know, Jaden's a
17:42
Speaker 12: you know, we're a team that needs to improve on
17:43
Speaker 12: our NetFront presence. He's one of our best there. He's
17:45
Speaker 12: always in and around the crease, creating an havoc out there.
17:48
Speaker 12: You know, McCann's a player that you saw it in
17:50
Speaker 12: the game before last week against LA before he left
17:53
Speaker 12: with an injury, like he can beat it goalie cleanly.
17:56
Speaker 12: He's got that that heart of a shot from that standpoint.
17:59
Speaker 12: So we certainly us but put other people in those opportunities,
18:03
Speaker 12: and we need some of our younger players and our
18:05
Speaker 12: other players to step up. And you know, when we
18:08
Speaker 12: get those players back, they'll certainly help us out a lot.
18:11
Speaker 12: Big stretch coming up before Christmas break. Nice thing the
18:14
Speaker 12: NHL does, though, They do shut down during the Christmas break,
18:16
Speaker 12: which is kind of good for a few days.
18:17
Speaker 5: So they do do that. But how important are these
18:19
Speaker 5: next five games?
18:20
Speaker 12: Well, look, it's gonna be a game, It's gonna be
18:23
Speaker 12: a real challenge against Colorado. Obviously, they're the best team
18:25
Speaker 12: in the league right now by a long shot, and
18:28
Speaker 12: you talk about parody, they're the one exception stuff for sure,
18:30
Speaker 12: So it will be a challenge there. And then look,
18:32
Speaker 12: we have to I think in our first road trip
18:35
Speaker 12: out east. You know, Lane brought a road warrior mentality.
18:39
Speaker 12: That's what we'll have to do for the four game
18:41
Speaker 12: road trip as we go up to Calgary and then
18:43
Speaker 12: down to California there. So it's going to be imperative
18:45
Speaker 12: that we find ways to continue to improve our special teams,
18:48
Speaker 12: continue to find in a little extra goal out there,
18:51
Speaker 12: and to have success.
18:52
Speaker 5: You're leading to Christmas.
18:54
Speaker 6: That's Crack and GM Jason Bottorol. We'll come back in

21:50
Speaker 6: We have the crack in an Avalanche coming up in
21:51
Speaker 6: about a half an hour in time to ask what
21:53
Speaker 6: are the odds? That's brought to you by the Evergreen
21:55
Speaker 6: Council on Problem Gambling in your Odds courtesy bet MGM.
21:59
Speaker 6: The line with Colorado at minus three twenty five and
22:02
Speaker 6: the over under is six. The pregame show is served
22:05
Speaker 6: up by Frostcrewed Corps, Light Chews, Chill, Mike Benton with
22:09
Speaker 6: you in time now for a look at the Avalanche
22:11
Speaker 6: and they are a challenge and here are your reasons why.
22:15
Speaker 6: They own the league's top record twenty three to two
22:18
Speaker 6: and seven lead the NHL in regulation wins five on
22:22
Speaker 6: five goal ratio goals four goals against. No one's beaten
22:26
Speaker 6: them at home in regulation yet this year plus they
22:29
Speaker 6: own the number one PK in the NHL. They are
22:33
Speaker 6: certainly rolling. They beat Nashville for two last time outs
22:37
Speaker 6: courtesy goals from Jack Dury, Victor Olivson, Valari Nachushkin and
22:40
Speaker 6: Sam Gerard. But we learn one thing. You can't let
22:43
Speaker 6: them get rolling fast. Because they're now up to nine
22:46
Speaker 6: times scoring a goal in the opening ninety seconds of
22:50
Speaker 6: a game this season. That is a new franchise record.
22:53
Speaker 6: And after that win, their head coach Jared Bedner explained
22:56
Speaker 6: on what they're doing with getting out of the gates
22:58
Speaker 6: so fast.
23:00
Speaker 15: They weren't ready to go focused. I think, you know,
23:02
Speaker 15: like it's all you always want to try to get
23:04
Speaker 15: to a good starting at home. I think we're doing
23:06
Speaker 15: a better job of that, like scoring early anyway. But
23:11
Speaker 15: I think it's just yeah, it's it's guys getting prepared
23:15
Speaker 15: and their focus and getting ready to play with some
23:17
Speaker 15: energy and getting some good looks early on in games.
23:21
Speaker 6: So the crack and no, they got to get out
23:22
Speaker 6: to their own fast start because Colorado's pretty good at it.
23:25
Speaker 6: They have led fifty four percent of the time this season,
23:28
Speaker 6: that leads the NHL. They have trailed in games only
23:31
Speaker 6: seventeen percent of the time, that is lowest in the NHL.
23:35
Speaker 6: But the one thing about Colorado, they've gone firepower. But
23:38
Speaker 6: after that it's kind of a drop off because you
23:40
Speaker 6: have Nathan McKinnon of course, twenty six goals and arguably
23:44
Speaker 6: a hard Trophy favorite. But then martin Age's fourteen goals
23:47
Speaker 6: after that are Tory lekin In brock Nelson with twelve,
23:51
Speaker 6: Cale mccarr with ten, and plus McKinnon and mccar at
23:54
Speaker 6: times we'll get a full two minutes of power play
23:56
Speaker 6: time according to Bedner based on their energy level, and
23:59
Speaker 6: that power is struggling right now, twenty eighth in the
24:02
Speaker 6: NHL and also lasts in the NHL on the road.
24:06
Speaker 6: Your Avalanche story lines, first off, containing Nathan McKinnon, the
24:10
Speaker 6: league's leading score He was NHL First Star of the Month.
24:13
Speaker 6: He comes in with a streak of five straight games
24:16
Speaker 6: with a point nine in that total. Second story line
24:20
Speaker 6: handling Kale mccarr. You ask fans here he is still
24:23
Speaker 6: getting plenty of attention when he touches the puck and
24:26
Speaker 6: the krack, and want to keep as much attention on
24:28
Speaker 6: him As far as defense, he owns six straight games
24:31
Speaker 6: with a point six in total and thirty eight points
24:35
Speaker 6: in thirty games, leads all NHL defenseman. Third story line
24:39
Speaker 6: McKenzie Blackwood in that he was solid recent outing for
24:42
Speaker 6: him twenty three saves in a six to two win
24:44
Speaker 6: over Florida. This will be the second time he'll face
24:47
Speaker 6: the crack and in an Avalanche Jersey, but has seen
24:49
Speaker 6: them as well previously. Seven games in his career. He
24:53

27:11
Speaker 12: Audio Network.
27:13
Speaker 3: Back it's out of climate Plage Arena Cracking wrapping up
27:16
Speaker 3: their pre holiday home schedule tonight with a meeting against.
27:20
Speaker 1: The NHL's best, Colorado Avalanche.
27:23
Speaker 3: We're gonna break it down here more in a second,
27:25
Speaker 3: but first slips bas for a station id on the
27:28
Speaker 3: Global Credit Union Crackadanio Network. All right, partner Colorado twenty three,
27:43
Speaker 3: two and seven. They've cooled off a little bit as
27:46
Speaker 3: of late, seven to one and two in their last
27:48
Speaker 3: ten games, so they've been struggling a bit as uh,
27:51
Speaker 3: you know, for Colorado Avalanche purposes.
27:54
Speaker 5: Uh, for Seattle.
27:55
Speaker 3: We've seen all year long, this team has played good teams. Well,
27:59
Speaker 3: they've got some big wins against some seemingly unbeatable teams.
28:04
Speaker 3: What do the Kraken have to do here tonight to
28:07
Speaker 3: add the Avalanche to that list?
28:09
Speaker 5: Well, the first one is slay the goalie matchup. Slay.
28:13
Speaker 5: It's apelled eigh.
28:15
Speaker 4: Colon brings firepower, so the krack and need the expected starter.
28:19
Speaker 4: Philip Rubauer dialed in, calm and ready to steal a
28:23
Speaker 4: moment or two big saves at big times. Take the
28:25
Speaker 4: air out of the avs and crank up the volume
28:27
Speaker 4: inside this building. One statement save can stuff Colorado's offense
28:32
Speaker 4: like a Christmas turkey. Secondly, wrap up Nathan McKinnon like
28:36
Speaker 4: a Christmas present. You're not stopping him, You're annoying him.
28:40
Speaker 4: You're containing him. Gap control, body position and layers through
28:44
Speaker 4: the neutral zone. Turn his north south north south rocket
28:47
Speaker 4: speed into rush hour traffic. Play him tight, play them physical,
28:51
Speaker 4: and angle him off pucks. If he's thinking instead of flying,
28:54
Speaker 4: the Kraken are doing something very right. And then third,
28:58
Speaker 4: special teams without the seasonal stress. This is not the
29:02
Speaker 4: night for sloppy penalties or power play or a power
29:04
Speaker 4: play that needs assembly instructions. Stay out of the box,
29:07
Speaker 4: and when you do get the man advantage, move it quick,
29:10
Speaker 4: shoot with shoot with purpose, simple, sharp, and slightly ruthless.
29:15
Speaker 4: Special teams does the trick bottom line get goultening that
29:19
Speaker 4: makes Colorado frustrated, turn McKinnon's night into a grind and
29:23
Speaker 4: keep the special teams tidy. Do that and CPA becomes
29:27
Speaker 4: a very unfriendly holiday holiday stop for the Apps. Think
29:30
Speaker 4: more ugly sweater party than elegant dinner, Loud, chaotic, and
29:35
Speaker 4: hard to leave early. When tonight, everyone heads done on
29:38
Speaker 4: the road with two points, smiling like they just found
29:40
Speaker 4: an extra present under the tree.
29:41
Speaker 1: That was the best. I was always one hidden. How
29:45
Speaker 1: don't you gonna look over there next to the TV?
29:47
Speaker 3: I think there's one over there, you know, Colorado. We
29:51
Speaker 3: this is the first time in the crack and I'm
29:52
Speaker 3: seeing Colorado. They'll see him twice more, both after the deadline.
29:56
Speaker 3: So these two teams could.
29:58
Speaker 5: Be wildly different.
30:00
Speaker 1: I've gone in.
30:01
Speaker 3: I went into the season saying the last matchup of
30:04
Speaker 3: the year, the last game game eighty two, April sixteenth,
30:08
Speaker 3: kracking in Colorado potentially could be a playoff implicating matchup,
30:13
Speaker 3: And I think I'm gonna still stand by that lot
30:16
Speaker 3: of hockey to go.
30:16
Speaker 1: But man, they've gotten off to.
30:18
Speaker 5: A hot start.
30:19
Speaker 3: Looking at their roster, no weaknesses on this team. Only
30:22
Speaker 3: one player has an even rating, no minus ratings on
30:25
Speaker 3: this team. And they just keep on rolling in and
30:28
Speaker 3: they're very healthy as well.
30:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
30:30
Speaker 4: Absolutely, they own the top or the top four positions
30:34
Speaker 4: on the plus minus. Yeah for the league. For the league,
30:37
Speaker 4: the top four, So I look that up, but starts
30:39
Speaker 4: with Nathan McKinnon at the top, but at number one.
30:42
Speaker 4: But the last two times they've lost in regulation three
30:44
Speaker 4: two to Boston in November. Tight game, right, low scoring game.
30:48
Speaker 4: That's what the crackling gotta do. Yeah, they lost in
30:50
Speaker 4: regulation to the Islanders as well, six to three. Blackwood
30:53
Speaker 4: goaltender you're gonna see tonight for Colorado. He gave up
30:56
Speaker 4: five of those six goals and guess Nembers nifty enter
30:58
Speaker 4: there as well. So this is a go that we're
31:00
Speaker 4: expecting to see tonight that the Kraken could have some
31:03
Speaker 4: success against kracking.
31:04
Speaker 3: Earlier this year in Winnipeg, beat Winnipeg three nothing. They
31:07
Speaker 3: came back the very next game at home to beat
31:09
Speaker 3: the Oilers by a three to two score. They beat
31:11
Speaker 3: Winnipeg here at home five to three. They beat Toronto
31:14
Speaker 3: in Toronto four to three in overtime. Game two of
31:17
Speaker 3: the season. They beat the Vegas Golden Knights by a
31:19
Speaker 3: two to one score, and then of course, they open
31:21
Speaker 3: up the season with a three to one win against Anaheim.
31:24
Speaker 3: I say all that the same those teams are all
31:26
Speaker 3: now at near the top of their division. They have
31:28
Speaker 3: been in a playoffs spot, they are amongst the league's
31:32
Speaker 3: elite this season. So it's been done before and there's
31:36
Speaker 3: no reason to think that it can't be. Then again,
31:38
Speaker 3: here's to night. No, this team knows how to play
31:40
Speaker 3: that way. But as we've talked about, you cannot take
31:42
Speaker 3: a shift off. You cannot not take a period off
31:44
Speaker 3: every single shift. You have to know what your job
31:47
Speaker 3: is and go out and execute.
31:48
Speaker 4: And your job might be on the fourth line where
31:50
Speaker 4: you just need to not hurt the team defensively in
31:52
Speaker 4: your own end, take advantage of offensive it comes, but
31:55
Speaker 4: not hurt the team that might put your job or
31:57
Speaker 4: maybe your Chandler Stevenson or many paniers where you know
32:00
Speaker 4: you've got to lead some offense out there. So go
32:02
Speaker 4: out and do your job. You know, don't make any
32:05
Speaker 4: drastic mistakes. You'll find yourself in the tight game you're
32:07
Speaker 4: in the third period.
32:08
Speaker 3: Finally, al from a player perspective, the Cracking have got
32:11
Speaker 3: seven eight guys who are sick dealing with whatever has
32:16
Speaker 3: been going on around the league.
32:17
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've had to play sick before. How where
32:20
Speaker 1: do you find it?
32:21
Speaker 3: How do you how do you muster in a in
32:24
Speaker 3: a sixty minute game against a team like Colorado when
32:27
Speaker 3: all you want to do is go in the back,
32:29
Speaker 3: take some night quill and go to bed.
32:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's the opposite. It's it's day, well the day, Yeah,
32:36
Speaker 4: fluids in sleep. Man like like, rest is a weapon,
32:39
Speaker 4: especially when you're sick, don't I know? So, I'm I'm
32:42
Speaker 4: sure the guys that are fighting in that battle right
32:44
Speaker 4: now have been getting a lot of rest. But when
32:46
Speaker 4: it comes to game time, you've just got to grind
32:48
Speaker 4: through it.
32:49
Speaker 5: Listen.
32:49
Speaker 4: You know, if you're buckled over and throwing up, that's different, right,
32:52
Speaker 4: But if but if you're under the weather and you
32:54
Speaker 4: just feel grungy and you you don't feel you know,
32:57
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, you play that through that stuff every
33:00
Speaker 4: single game.
33:00
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is you have to be a gamer.
33:02
Speaker 5: Right, You have to be a gamer. Sometuff that would
33:04
Speaker 5: keep us away, Yeah, doesn't keep these guys away.

35:33
Speaker 6: Like betting with you back at Climate Plage Arena, Crackin
35:36
Speaker 6: and Avalanche coming up and the Cracking are trying to
35:39
Speaker 6: get out of a tough stretch record wise illness and injuries.
35:43
Speaker 5: So how do they find solutions?
35:44
Speaker 6: Well, heading into this one, Lane Lambert has more in
35:47
Speaker 6: our conversation crack an Avalanche coming up here and back
35:50
Speaker 6: now with cracket head coach Lane Lambert and Land. It
35:52
Speaker 6: seems like that it's that time of the year right
35:54
Speaker 6: now where more meds are on the menu here to
35:56
Speaker 6: essentially combat illness. So how valuable first off can your
36:00
Speaker 6: sport staff to get as many guys back on the
36:02
Speaker 6: right path, whether it's be a hands on approach or
36:05
Speaker 6: just their intel as well.
36:06
Speaker 22: Yeah, well, you know, obviously, like you said, there's there's illness,
36:11
Speaker 22: but I think it. You know, there's illness going throughout
36:13
Speaker 22: the league right and you know you see on a
36:17
Speaker 22: nightly basis, you know two or three guys from each
36:19
Speaker 22: team that are you know, out maybe because of illness.
36:23
Speaker 22: But what you don't see is you know the other
36:25
Speaker 22: six or eight guys that we had the other night
36:27
Speaker 22: that we're playing and we're sick, you know, So that
36:30
Speaker 22: support staff is huge for us in terms of trying
36:32
Speaker 22: to get these guys healthy as much as possible, do
36:36
Speaker 22: the right things, and combat it, you know, sort of
36:39
Speaker 22: be a little bit more proactive than reactive. But certainly
36:43
Speaker 22: this is the time of year for this kind of
36:45
Speaker 22: thing right now.
36:46
Speaker 6: We often hear more and more of these days that
36:49
Speaker 6: rest is a weapon, and there's five games here to
36:51
Speaker 6: play in this next week before the holidays. So to you,
36:54
Speaker 6: how much has this game changed over the years is
36:56
Speaker 6: approached to rest time and rest days as well, I.
37:00
Speaker 22: Think it's changed a lot, to be honest with you,
37:04
Speaker 22: which is really kind of strange, because you know, back
37:07
Speaker 22: in the old days when I was playing, we used
37:09
Speaker 22: to fly commercial, so it would stay overnight after the game,
37:13
Speaker 22: get up, go to the airport, go through security, all
37:15
Speaker 22: that stuff. Now we just jump on a plane and
37:17
Speaker 22: we're gone, you know, And so I feel like we
37:21
Speaker 22: even practiced a little bit more back then. But the
37:24
Speaker 22: schedule right now, the travel, you know, how demanding it
37:29
Speaker 22: is on the players and each individual game itself. You
37:34
Speaker 22: have to put everything you have into that. And it's
37:38
Speaker 22: one thing that you know, I want fans to understand
37:42
Speaker 22: is that you know they're giving everything they have and
37:46
Speaker 22: at the end of the game they're spent, and so
37:49
Speaker 22: the rest ratio is super important. You know, we practiced yesterday,
37:54
Speaker 22: which was our in between day. You know, who knows
37:58
Speaker 22: what we're going to do tomorrow, and you know in
38:01
Speaker 22: San Jose and then again in Anaheim, because we play
38:04
Speaker 22: so many games that if you don't have energy for
38:08
Speaker 22: the game, you'd decrease your chances of winning right off the.
38:11
Speaker 6: Hop if we can go back to the penalty kill.
38:13
Speaker 6: On Sunday, they get two of two against Buffalo, which
38:15
Speaker 6: in theory is good of course for no goals allowed.
38:17
Speaker 6: But what are you noticing about how the fores and
38:19
Speaker 6: defensemen are reacting to what's been thrown at them.
38:22
Speaker 22: Yeah, they're doing good. We changed it clearly needed to,
38:29
Speaker 22: you know, and it was to the point where, you know,
38:33
Speaker 22: you hate to change something on an in between day
38:37
Speaker 22: and make it a real significant change, But we just
38:42
Speaker 22: weren't able to grasp the concepts that we wanted to
38:45
Speaker 22: go with, and so we've had to make some adjustments
38:48
Speaker 22: to that. And I think those adjustments have put more
38:52
Speaker 22: onus on our defense and less onus on our forwards.
38:57
Speaker 22: And so what we've done is we've tried to take
39:00
Speaker 22: our veteran defensemen and make them have more of the
39:05
Speaker 22: reads than our young forwards, some guys that haven't even
39:08
Speaker 22: killed in this league before, or killed very minimally in
39:11
Speaker 22: this league, and we're continuing to make mistakes, and so
39:16
Speaker 22: we've had to make that adjustment.
39:18
Speaker 6: You must to say, Colorado is rolling right now. And
39:20
Speaker 6: we talk with Brandon Monteur the other day about Nathan
39:23
Speaker 6: McKinnon saying that he'll get his chances, but close attention
39:26
Speaker 6: matters when it comes to defensive covers. So what's the
39:29
Speaker 6: mindset you want the guys going out with here for tonight?
39:31
Speaker 22: Uh? Well, I mean, we obviously have to be aware
39:34
Speaker 22: of these guys. They're dynamic. You know they will get chances.
39:38
Speaker 22: We have to give them this few chances as possible.
39:41
Speaker 22: Our mindset is pay close attention to those guys, don't
39:44
Speaker 22: give them too much time and space. And in saying that,
39:47
Speaker 22: that doesn't mean you're backing up. We've got to play.
39:50
Speaker 22: We've got to play north, we've got to play on
39:52
Speaker 22: the attack, and you know we don't want to be
39:56
Speaker 22: on our heels. So this is clearly the best hockey
40:00
Speaker 22: team in the league by a mile, right, now you
40:04
Speaker 22: know McKinnon's already plus forty. Usually you know plus forty
40:09
Speaker 22: wins the plus minus over an eighty two game schedule.
40:12
Speaker 22: It's mind boggling to me what this team has done
40:15
Speaker 22: so far with two regulation losses. It's going to be
40:19
Speaker 22: a great challenge for us and we're looking forward to it.
40:23
