POSTGAME: Montour saves Kraken from another 3rd period collapse in 5-4 win over Maple Leafs (10/28) · Seattle Kraken Audio Network

0:00
Speaker 1: And the Kraken, a power play goal.
0:02
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Kraken Post Game Show, powered by the
0:06
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, where you can hear the Kraken anytime, anywhere.
0:10
Speaker 2: Now for an in-depth look at tonight's Kraken game. It's
0:14
Speaker 2: the Kraken Post Game on the Global Credit Union Kraken
0:17
Speaker 2: Audio Network.
0:20
Speaker 3: Berkley Catton pushing his career high goals up, a point
0:23
Speaker 3: streak rather now, to five games with a goal. Here
0:27
Speaker 3: this evening is fourth goal of the season for him.
0:30
Speaker 3: Brandon Montour now extending his point streak to four games,
0:35
Speaker 3: including the game-winning goal here tonight. Five different goal scores,
0:39
Speaker 3: three from the blue line, and the Seattle Kraken with
0:42
Speaker 3: a thrilling 5-4 win over Toronto.
0:46
Speaker 1: Not a come from behind, but a come from the tie?
0:51
Speaker 4: I mean, you got counterattacked in the third period, but
0:55
Speaker 4: you pushed back and you countered the counterattack.
0:58
Speaker 1: And I think that's fine.
0:59
Speaker 4: I think that, listen, we always talk about the proverbial
1:03
Speaker 4: tug-of-war situation. And, you know, that flag in the middle
1:06
Speaker 4: doesn't always stay on your side. You've got to find
1:08
Speaker 4: a way to get it pulled back over. And I
1:11
Speaker 4: like the fact that the Kraken were able to do
1:12
Speaker 4: it without needing to go to overtime or a shootout.
1:15
Speaker 3: I know they don't want to talk about it, so
1:16
Speaker 3: you and I will talk about it.
1:19
Speaker 1: I'll gauge it.
1:20
Speaker 3: Lane Lambert's temperature on Friday in Calgary. But again, another
1:25
Speaker 3: third period lead blown. They find a way to get
1:28
Speaker 3: it done. You're only in game 13. I think if
1:32
Speaker 3: this is still happening in game 43, maybe that's an issue.
1:36
Speaker 1: That's a problem.
1:37
Speaker 3: But the Krakens still have not been able to get
1:41
Speaker 3: out of the third period this season unscathed.
1:44
Speaker 1: Now another two goals allowed in the third period. They
1:47
Speaker 1: get the full two points. They get the win.
1:50
Speaker 3: And regulation ultimately is what matters, but you'd love to
1:53
Speaker 3: see this team be able to close out games in
1:55
Speaker 3: the third.
1:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's a matter of just controlling games.
1:59
Speaker 4: How are you able to put that choke hold on
2:01
Speaker 4: your team when you've got a goal or two lead
2:03
Speaker 4: and not give them a sniff? It's a tough skill.
2:07
Speaker 4: It's a tough skill because it involves not just the
2:09
Speaker 4: guys on the ice, but everybody on the bench, or
2:11
Speaker 4: at least everybody that's going to be going on the
2:12
Speaker 4: ice in that situation. You've got to have trust in
2:15
Speaker 4: your own zone. You've got to have trust that guys
2:17
Speaker 4: are going to make smart decisions with the puck, and
2:20
Speaker 4: As I mentioned during the broadcast, smart decisions about getting
2:22
Speaker 4: off the ice before they get tired. There's lots of
2:24
Speaker 4: little things that you do differently when you're trying to
2:27
Speaker 4: protect the lead or play with the lead versus trying
2:30
Speaker 4: to get back in the game.
2:31
Speaker 1: Let's look at the Leafs.
2:32
Speaker 3: From a fan perspective, I like when we get to
2:37
Speaker 3: watch the McDavids and the McKinnons and Matthews and McKenna.
2:42
Speaker 3: I mean, this was an exciting game if you're a
2:45
Speaker 3: hockey fan. If you're a fan of offense, you saw
2:49
Speaker 3: a fight between Fleury and Letary. You saw the offense
2:54
Speaker 3: from the youth, the next generation. But from a Toronto perspective,
2:58
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they lose this game.
2:59
Speaker 1: They're now 7-6-2.
3:01
Speaker 3: On the young season. But, I mean, the kids over there,
3:04
Speaker 3: they're all right. And I think Gavin McKenna, he's going
3:07
Speaker 3: to have a real strong career. Austin Matthews, now his
3:09
Speaker 3: 10th goal of the season. We don't see him a
3:12
Speaker 3: whole lot, so sometimes it's easy to overlook what he's
3:16
Speaker 3: able to do.
3:17
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, the Maple Leafs missing Karel Marchenko, Seattle missing
3:21
Speaker 4: Jared McCann. you know, so some pieces missing from both
3:24
Speaker 4: sides there. But, you know, those are opportunities for that
3:27
Speaker 4: youth you talked about. And I agree, you know, as
3:29
Speaker 4: far as, I mean, you can look at it from
3:31
Speaker 4: this standpoint. I think of all 13 games so far
3:34
Speaker 4: this season, this was the best game for a Seattle
3:36
Speaker 4: Kraken hockey fan.
3:37
Speaker 3: And I think if you're a hockey fan, if, you know,
3:40
Speaker 3: we're still very fortunate to be getting a lot of
3:42
Speaker 3: new fans in the building every game, still upwards of
3:45
Speaker 3: 2,000 brand new fans each game at CPA. And if
3:49
Speaker 3: this was your first game, you were treated to one
3:52
Speaker 3: heck of a spectacle.
3:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you and I have the fortunate luxury
3:57
Speaker 4: of sometimes being able to go to an NHL game
3:59
Speaker 4: on the road that isn't the cracker. It's just two
4:01
Speaker 4: teams playing that night, and we can sit in the
4:05
Speaker 4: stands as fans and just enjoy the game of hockey.
4:08
Speaker 4: Had we been in this building for this kind of
4:10
Speaker 4: a game with no ties to the Seattle Crackers, we
4:12
Speaker 4: would have been happy with the outcome, not really having
4:16
Speaker 4: a skin in the game for either team. This was
4:18
Speaker 4: a fan's game, 5-4 wins, 4-3 wins. changes in leads
4:24
Speaker 4: and teams coming back. Lots of excitement. The hit, there
4:27
Speaker 4: was a fight. Lots to see.
4:29
Speaker 1: Kraken 5-4 winners over the Leafs.
4:31
Speaker 3: We'll step out for a break, come back, and wrap

6:49
Speaker 3: the final time tonight, welcome back inside of Climate Pledge Arena.
6:52
Speaker 1: Alongside Al Koniski.
6:54
Speaker 3: Everett Fitzhugh back with you. It's a 5-4 win for
6:58
Speaker 3: the Kraken over the Leafs. Five different goals, scores three
7:02
Speaker 3: from the blue line, including Josh Mahura's first of the season.
7:06
Speaker 3: First since October.
7:07
Speaker 1: 18th, 2025 against.
7:11
Speaker 1: The Toronto Maple Leafs.
7:12
Speaker 3: And that was his first goal in 134 games, which
7:16
Speaker 3: was also against.
7:17
Speaker 1: The Toronto Maple Leafs. Over to you, partner.
7:19
Speaker 4: Key takeaway for me tonight, finding a way to win.
7:23
Speaker 4: I can't underscore it enough that that's an important skill set,
7:26
Speaker 4: a mindset of a team that regardless of what's going
7:29
Speaker 4: on in the situation, Toronto was pressing there in the
7:31
Speaker 4: third period, just being relaxed and finding a way to win.
7:35
Speaker 4: You can't underscore that mentality. Secondly, special teams was a
7:39
Speaker 4: bit of a challenge tonight for the Kraken, going one
7:42
Speaker 4: for five on their power play and giving up two
7:45
Speaker 4: of three opportunities to Toronto on their power play. Too
7:49
Speaker 4: many power play goals against and not enough for Seattle.
7:52
Speaker 4: And the third one, anytime I talk about a player
7:54
Speaker 4: and my key takeaways, it's probably because they didn't get
7:57
Speaker 4: a star in the game. But I want to give
7:58
Speaker 4: them some love. And in this case, it's Riker Evans.
8:00
Speaker 4: I thought Riker Evans had a really good game tonight.
8:02
Speaker 4: He had a goal. He was plus two on the night.
8:04
Speaker 4: Threw the body around a couple of times. Playing with
8:07
Speaker 4: lots of confidence out there. Mama K's three stars tonight.
8:11
Speaker 4: Third star goes to Josh Mahura with that second goal
8:14
Speaker 4: of the game. Second star goes to Chandler Stevenson. He
8:17
Speaker 4: had a goal. He was plus one tonight. And the
8:19
Speaker 4: first star with the game-winning goal tonight, Brandon Montour. He
8:22
Speaker 4: was plus three on the evening. Three stars of the
8:25
Speaker 4: game brought to you by AAA of Washington who give
8:27
Speaker 4: you triple the savings, triple the adventures, and triple the

8:33
Speaker 3: Kraken now lead the NHL with 14 players with at
8:37
Speaker 3: least two goals on the season after Chandler Stephenson's second
8:40
Speaker 3: of the campaign. That'll wrap it up here for us
8:43
Speaker 3: from Climate Pledge Arena.
8:45
Speaker 1: Kraken a 5-4 win. Over the Leafs in the air tomorrow.
8:49
Speaker 3: Touchdown for a Friday night matchup against the Calgary Flames.

14:28
Speaker 9: Who else to get the scoring going but Berkeley Canton
14:31
Speaker 9: just 159 into the game. Point streak now is at
14:34
Speaker 9: five in a row. Mackie Samaskevich had the assist on
14:37
Speaker 9: the play but the Maple Leafs would then come right
14:39
Speaker 9: back to Nothing's up at 19-14. Gavin McKenna on the
14:43
Speaker 9: man advantage from Ashton Matthews and Darren Radish tied the
14:46
Speaker 9: game up at one as he pinpointed one right over
14:49
Speaker 9: the blocker of Philip Grubauer from the right circle. The Kraken, though,
14:52
Speaker 9: wasting little time responding. First shift into period two and
14:57
Speaker 9: kind of in turnabout is fair play mode. From the
15:00
Speaker 9: game against Minnesota, Josh Mahura, 16 seconds into the period.
15:04
Speaker 9: Finishing at the left wing from Ben Myers and Freddie Goudreau.
15:07
Speaker 9: That made a 2-1 Kraken, but then they go down
15:09
Speaker 9: a man, and the Leafs made them pay once again
15:12
Speaker 9: with the youngster McKenna picking up his second goal of
15:15
Speaker 9: the night. Fifth on the season. Again, wide open right circle.
15:18
Speaker 9: Austin Matthews setting him up. He had an assist along
15:22
Speaker 9: with Jack Roslevic to make it 2-2, and it would
15:25
Speaker 9: be appearing these two teams would be trading punches all
15:29
Speaker 9: night long. The Kraken return the favor on a man
15:32
Speaker 9: advantage of their own. 3-33 into period two. Chandler Stevenson
15:37
Speaker 9: looked toward the front to Matty Beneers. The pass glancing
15:40
Speaker 9: off the Maple Leafs penalty kill and in. So Stevenson
15:43
Speaker 9: gets credit for the power play goal. Second of the
15:45
Speaker 9: year from Vince Dunn and Beneers. Make it 3-2. And
15:49
Speaker 9: then it was Riker Evans looking for more with a
15:52
Speaker 9: little under 11 minutes into period two.
15:56
Speaker 1: Now Ryker Evans shoots, scores!
16:05
Speaker 17: Riker Evans off the post and in!
16:08
Speaker 3: And the Seattle Kraken go up 4-2, 9-0-2 left in
16:14
Speaker 3: period number two.
16:15
Speaker 4: Well, Mackie Savas-Gimmich with some speed through the middle, finds
16:18
Speaker 4: Riker Evans down that left side, and Evans with a
16:21
Speaker 4: shooting lane, wastes no time getting it off, beating Bobrovsky,
16:25
Speaker 4: glove side.
16:26
Speaker 1: Post in, 4-2 Kraken.
16:28
Speaker 9: Everett now mentioned how great Riker Evans played today. Matter
16:31
Speaker 9: of fact, that's his third goal now in the last
16:33
Speaker 9: five games, so he's heating up on the back end.
16:36
Speaker 9: At that point, it marked the eighth player to get
16:39
Speaker 9: a point in this game or more on the Kraken side,
16:41
Speaker 9: and it made it 4-2 for Mackie Samuskevich and Chandler Stevenson.
16:45
Speaker 9: That lead holding up at the end of period two.
16:48
Speaker 9: Maybe it was enough. Leafs said not so fast. 8.02
16:52
Speaker 9: into period three. Jack Roslevic wide open for a rebound
16:56
Speaker 9: at the left circle. Tucked his sixth goal of the
16:58
Speaker 9: season past Philip Grubauer. Easton Cowan, Troy Stetcher had the
17:02
Speaker 9: assist on the play. And then it was then the
17:04
Speaker 9: Leafs pulling the goaltender, looking for an equalizer with the
17:09
Speaker 9: game in the dying seconds.
17:11
Speaker 1: Now Matthews up top. Radish to Matthews. Sharp angle shot.
17:16
Speaker 1: And he scores.
17:23
Speaker 3: And another blown third period lead for Seattle. The Leafs,
17:30
Speaker 3: 89 seconds to play, tie the game at four.
17:34
Speaker 9: And another painful lesson the Kraken certainly learned about protecting
17:38
Speaker 9: a lead. This time, Auston Matthews ties things up on
17:41
Speaker 9: his multi-point 9-10 goal of the season from Darren Radish
17:44
Speaker 9: and Gavin McKenna again. That made it 4-4, and it
17:48
Speaker 9: appeared overtime was a mere formality. But Brandon Montour, with
17:53
Speaker 9: less than a minute left in regulation, had other ideas.
17:57
Speaker 19: Montour, right side shot, scores! It's the Full Monty! Here
18:10
Speaker 19: in Seattle, 32 seconds.
18:12
Speaker 17: To play in regulation, and the Seattle Kraken have regained
18:18
Speaker 17: the lead.
18:19
Speaker 1: 5-4, 32.7 left in regulation.
18:21
Speaker 4: Well, I talked a moment ago about how important face-offs
18:23
Speaker 4: are at the defensive end of the ice. This time,
18:26
Speaker 4: Matty Beneers with the win, pulling it back to Jordan Eberle.
18:29
Speaker 4: Eberle with a nice feed over to Montour, who gets
18:32
Speaker 4: a bomb off. Buoyed it by Bobrovsky. 5-4 Seattle, 32.7
18:37
Speaker 4: seconds left to go.
18:39
Speaker 9: More plot twists in this game than a Martin Scorsese movie.
18:42
Speaker 9: Brandon Montour, game-winning goal, go-ahead goal at 19-27, a period
18:49
Speaker 9: three in dramatic fashion, which basically tore the roof off
18:52
Speaker 9: this place as far as volume. Jordan Eberle, Bobby McMahon
18:55
Speaker 9: had the assist as well on the play, and that
18:58
Speaker 9: was enough. To close this game out in heart-stopping fashion,
19:01
Speaker 9: your final score, Kraken 5 and the Leafs 4. Final
19:05
Speaker 9: shots on net, not much here in this game, funny enough.
19:08
Speaker 9: 22-17 in favor of the Leafs, and the win in
19:12
Speaker 9: net going to Philip Grubauer, who was good enough with
19:15
Speaker 9: 18 saves on 22 shots on net. Sergey Bobrovsky taking
19:19
Speaker 9: the loss in net tonight, giving up five goals on
19:22
Speaker 9: 17 shots in this game. So not bad as far
19:26
Speaker 9: as the effort and the mark of resiliency on the
19:29
Speaker 9: Kraken side as they take this one. And we now
19:31
Speaker 9: turn our attention here to our chillest moments of this game.
19:34
Speaker 9: And again, Kraken fans, a reminder, you can win your
19:36
Speaker 9: chance to sit in the Coors Light silver seats. Go

Speaker 1: Coors Light.
19:47
Speaker 9: Juice Chill, celebrate responsibly. With the game tied at one
19:52
Speaker 9: in the second period, here comes Josh Mahura looking for
19:56
Speaker 9: more damage on the Leafs.
19:58
Speaker 1: Ben Myers, a two-on-one. He's got Mahura. Myers in front.
20:01
Speaker 6: Mahura scores!
20:10
Speaker 19: Josh Mahura cashes in on the two-on-one and the Seattle
20:16
Speaker 19: Kraken go up two-to-one with.
20:20
Speaker 1: 19-44 to play in the second.
20:21
Speaker 4: Well, it's a jailbreak out of the Seattle into the
20:23
Speaker 4: ice and Ben Myers has got the speed down that
20:25
Speaker 4: right side. He's on his off-wings with a good opportunity
20:28
Speaker 4: for his shot, but he sauces the puck over to
20:31
Speaker 4: Josh Mahura.
20:32
Speaker 1: Who puts it home. Mahura with his first of the season,
20:35
Speaker 1: Kraken up two-to-one.
20:37
Speaker 9: There's just something against the Leafs that makes Josh Mahura
20:40
Speaker 9: crank his game up a notch, and he was one
20:42
Speaker 9: of 11 players that got a point or more in
20:44
Speaker 9: this game on the cracking side, and that was big
20:47
Speaker 9: to again set the tone after Toronto scored late in
20:49
Speaker 9: period one. Josh Mahura's goal early in the second, our
20:53
Speaker 9: first chillest moment of the night. The second one, the
20:56
Speaker 9: obvious one. Brandon Montour's game-winning goal, certainly a testimony of
21:00
Speaker 9: resiliency as the Kraken close out the league tonight. And
21:03
Speaker 9: it matters as far as who got the last one,
21:05
Speaker 9: and it was Montour who certainly played. have the honors

Speaker 6: It pops right out to.
21:41
Speaker 20: The left circle, and Washington makes no mistake from there.
21:46
Speaker 20: Wall made the initial save, but Jordan Kyrou, one of
21:49

Speaker 9: tough wear. The Kraken once more prove that while third
31:52
Speaker 9: periods may be on shaky ground, they certainly can find
31:56
Speaker 9: a way to finish. And they did just that tonight,
31:58
Speaker 9: courtesy Brandon Montour's late game-winning goal and finished this thing
32:03
Speaker 9: off in similar dramatic fashion akin to wins over Utah.
32:08
Speaker 9: and the Detroit Red Wings. So I want to hear
32:11
Speaker 9: from you as far as your feedback on this game.
32:14
Speaker 9: Give it to me in one sentence. What did it
32:16
Speaker 9: feel like start to end? 4-9-4-5-1, Tacoma-Dodge text line. Once again,
32:21
Speaker 9: Tacoma-Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in the corner of 38th and
32:25
Speaker 9: South Tacoma Way, the intersection of savings. Again, Tacoma-Dodge text line.
32:29
Speaker 9: That's open right.
32:30
Speaker 1: Now at 4-9-4-5.
32:32
Speaker 9: Phone lines also open in case you want to call
32:36
Speaker 9: us just like last time 206-286-9595 and also voice memos
32:41
Speaker 9: we're taking those so simply put you got 30 seconds
32:44
Speaker 9: here to record your thoughts upload them here via the
32:47
Speaker 9: iHeartRadio app just find the red mic icon at 933kjr. com
32:52
Speaker 9: again keep your thoughts 30 seconds or less you're done
32:56
Speaker 9: we'll look for them and we'll get your thoughts as
32:58
Speaker 9: well on the air sooner than later Ian Furness will
33:02
Speaker 9: be joining us. He had the TV call here for
33:04
Speaker 9: tonight's game on the Kraken Hockey Network. And also we're
33:07
Speaker 9: looking at hearing from head coach Lane Lambert. And three
33:11
Speaker 9: things I wanted to get on here that I think
33:14
Speaker 9: really potentially had an effect on this game. Number one
33:17
Speaker 9: was Berkeley Catton's line. Number two was maybe Bobby McMahon's
33:21
Speaker 9: presence and his impact here. And number three was the
33:24
Speaker 9: special teams battle. I think if you break it down,
33:27
Speaker 9: one made an impact, one had no difference in this one,
33:30
Speaker 9: and the other, well, the Kraken had pure survival mode.
33:34
Speaker 9: That was until the Kraken got late into this game
33:37
Speaker 9: and once again proved that they have issues defending a
33:40
Speaker 9: third period lead. Maybe it isn't as sharp as, say,
33:44
Speaker 9: if you're chasing in the first period lead. down to
33:47
Speaker 9: nothing and have to make your way up ground. It's
33:49
Speaker 9: like we've maybe seen about a couple of years ago
33:52
Speaker 9: here with this team. Don't forget the comeback wins that
33:54
Speaker 9: they had under Dan Bilesma. Well, it's fun to come
33:57
Speaker 9: back and win, but when you're doing that, consistently chasing
34:01
Speaker 9: a hockey game, teams tend to burn a lot more energy.
34:05
Speaker 9: So tonight, once again, on the flip side, the Kraken
34:09
Speaker 9: do enough to get a lead early on. Maybe it's
34:12
Speaker 9: sweated-out moments late in the third period here.
34:15
Speaker 1: But eventually.
34:16
Speaker 9: You find a way to get this done with players
34:18
Speaker 9: who can certainly make a big impact, and that's what
34:21
Speaker 9: Brandon Montour certainly did. So again, 49451, we'll get to
34:24
Speaker 9: your thoughts coming up here, plus also Lane Lambert and
34:27
Speaker 9: Ian Furness joining us by phone. First period, I thought
34:31
Speaker 9: the Kraken, despite getting outshot early, looked great, and the
34:35
Speaker 9: line that made them look great was a line that
34:37
Speaker 9: we thought would make them look great.
34:40
Speaker 1: Berkeley Catton.
34:41
Speaker 9: Because I don't think you can really describe much more
34:45
Speaker 9: for a goal that he's scored than just simply put,
34:48
Speaker 9: it's a player who is developing into a highly skilled forward,
34:52
Speaker 9: making a highly skilled play. Right now his point streak
34:57
Speaker 9: is at five, but we saw maybe from the previous
35:00
Speaker 9: game some breadcrumbs that were laid out with him maybe
35:04
Speaker 9: getting more ice time, and that certainly happened here for
35:07
Speaker 9: this game with, From the lineup that we saw put
35:10
Speaker 9: out before the game, his line with Capococco, left wing,
35:14
Speaker 9: Shane Wright on the right wing. Effectively, optics-wise, promoted all
35:19
Speaker 9: the way to the second line. And we'll take a
35:21
Speaker 9: look here as far as the final totals in this one.
35:23
Speaker 9: But from what we saw after two periods of play,
35:27
Speaker 9: Berkeley Catton was the second most used centerman. on this team.
35:30
Speaker 9: So you put him right back out there. You're looking
35:33
Speaker 9: to get something out of him as far as production,
35:35
Speaker 9: and he wastes little time putting the puck into the
35:38
Speaker 9: back of the net. That's a player understanding his role.
35:42
Speaker 9: That's a player who is coming through early on to
35:45
Speaker 9: make a big impact and a player who has certainly
35:48
Speaker 9: set the tone here in this game. Berkeley Canton made
35:51
Speaker 9: it 1-0. Gavin McKenna came right back on a power
35:54
Speaker 9: play goal late. That shot he's got already missed. is
35:58
Speaker 9: very deadly. We saw what he can do not once
36:00
Speaker 9: but twice. The second period was where the Kraken made
36:04
Speaker 9: the biggest push and ultimately it was what made the
36:07
Speaker 9: biggest difference here in this game. Maybe you're thinking that
36:10
Speaker 9: special teams was going to make or break them in
36:13
Speaker 9: this one and the more power play chances they had
36:16
Speaker 9: and the inability to maybe put the Maple Leafs further
36:19
Speaker 9: and further back was something that could have come back
36:21
Speaker 9: to bite them. Maybe that was also at the forefront
36:23
Speaker 9: when Brandon Montour tied this game.
36:26
Speaker 4: But ultimately.
36:27
Speaker 9: The Kraken doing enough in the second period, wrapped around
36:31
Speaker 9: a power play goal to finally make a big difference
36:34
Speaker 9: here in this game. So you hold off Austin Matthews,
36:38
Speaker 9: and what they can do at six on five, he
36:41
Speaker 9: certainly showed up. He had a multi-point game, but then
36:44
Speaker 9: you put the right guys on the ice at the
36:46
Speaker 9: right time, and Brandon Montour does enough, a player who
36:50
Speaker 9: is going to make a big, big difference here in
36:52
Speaker 9: this game and this evening. Well, it wasn't at the
36:56
Speaker 9: 30-minute mark where you usually see Chris Pronger numbers or
37:00
Speaker 9: Drew Downey numbers here, but 27 minutes and 10 seconds,
37:04
Speaker 9: far and away, most used player on the Kraken side.
37:07
Speaker 9: In case you're wondering, Berkeley Canton tonight, 15 minutes, 5
37:11
Speaker 9: seconds of ice time, even strength numbers, 12 minutes and
37:16
Speaker 9: 34 seconds of ice time as well. So once again,
37:19
Speaker 9: your final score, Kraken 5, Maple Leafs 4, Without further ado,
37:24
Speaker 9: we go to the Beacon Plumbing Hotline right now. The
37:26
Speaker 9: mayor of Maple Valley joining us here. He was in
37:29
Speaker 9: the booth tonight on the Kraken Hockey Network. That's Ian
37:33
Speaker 9: Furness joining us right now on Talking Kraken. Mayor, good
37:38
Speaker 9: evening to you.
37:39
Speaker 4: Hello, how you doing?
37:41
Speaker 10: Captain, how are you?
37:43
Speaker 9: Was that a fun one or what? What do we
37:46
Speaker 9: learn about this team? First period, second period, and third period.
37:50
Speaker 1: Take it away.
37:52
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, it's the same thing we've been talking about.
37:54
Speaker 10: It's that same word we've been talking about. It's resilient.
37:58
Speaker 10: You would rather them not be that resilient. I'll be
38:01
Speaker 10: curious to hear when you have Coach Lambert and his
38:05
Speaker 10: comments coming up because I believe he's tired of talking
38:08
Speaker 10: about third-period leads and the issues they're having with those. But,
38:12
Speaker 10: you know, I mean, end of the day, Mike, it's
38:15
Speaker 10: two points. You get a win. You do it in
38:16
Speaker 10: dramatic fashion, whether it's losing a lead against Detroit's And
38:23
Speaker 10: then finding a way to get the win, you know,
38:25
Speaker 10: late and entertain the fans that way or blowing a
38:30
Speaker 10: lead against Utah and coming back to get a win
38:32
Speaker 10: against them or this dramatic fashion as well. I'd say this,
38:35
Speaker 10: if you're a fan going to the games at Climate
38:37
Speaker 10: Pledge Arena or watching on the Kraken Hockey Network or
38:40
Speaker 10: listening on the Kraken Audio Network, you're getting your money's worth.
38:44
Speaker 10: That's for sure. You get your money's worth tonight. But
38:46
Speaker 10: what a win. Great win. And it's nice. Very nice
38:50
Speaker 10: to get that two points.
38:51
Speaker 9: And this offense certainly got their money's worth once again, Ian,
38:54
Speaker 9: as depth was showing up and down the lineup. 11
38:57
Speaker 9: players on the score sheet. Chandler Stevenson, two-point game. Matty Beneers,
39:01
Speaker 9: two-point game. Mackie Samaskevich, two-point game. And you've got guys
39:06
Speaker 9: contributing on the back end from Riker Evans, who's got
39:08
Speaker 9: his third goal now in the last five games, to
39:10
Speaker 9: Brandon Montour coming through in the clutch. So I think
39:15
Speaker 9: beyond that, what we talked about early on, was what
39:19
Speaker 9: could Bertley Catton's line do with, maybe at least on
39:22
Speaker 9: the optics side, some elevated presence, and maybe we saw
39:24
Speaker 9: this coming here. He, Capo Caco, Shane Wright promoted to
39:29
Speaker 9: line number two. Now things kind of evening out where
39:32
Speaker 9: his ice time maybe fell back a little bit in
39:35
Speaker 9: period three and that may be a bit understandable based
39:37
Speaker 9: on what you're looking for as far as certain matchups
39:40
Speaker 9: here but I mean early on first and second period
39:43
Speaker 9: we saw Katton getting out you know matchups wise against
39:47
Speaker 9: the Leafs second line with Nick Paul and What do
39:50
Speaker 9: you know? First period comes right through, wasting little time.
39:54
Speaker 9: It's a highly skilled player making a highly skilled play.
39:59
Speaker 9: Creativity and going high. Backhander, a thing of beauty on
40:03
Speaker 9: Sergey Bobrovsky. Overall, what did you make out of Berkley-Catton's line?
40:09
Speaker 10: Every game that Berkley Catton plays, he gets better. And
40:13
Speaker 10: every game Berkley Catton plays, I love watching him play.
40:17
Speaker 10: I am such a fan of watching number 27. You know,
40:22
Speaker 10: last year was a tough year, obviously, probably for him,
40:26
Speaker 10: making the transition from the Western Hockey League in Spokane
40:29
Speaker 10: to the National Hockey League. That's a tough transition. You know,
40:34
Speaker 10: we're watching Gavin McKenna tonight, you know, at the age
40:37
Speaker 10: of 18 and having a three-point night and You know,
40:40
Speaker 10: McKenna had the bonus of going from the dub to
40:43
Speaker 10: playing against, you know, younger men, but men in college.
40:47
Speaker 10: And I think it helped him. You know, Berkeley, because
40:49
Speaker 10: of the rules, which have now since changed, had to
40:52
Speaker 10: come right to the NHL. Nothing was going to happen
40:54
Speaker 10: for him in juniors last year. But I think it
40:56
Speaker 10: paid off. You know, Lane Lavers talked about that. I think,
40:58
Speaker 10: you know, even though the numbers weren't there last year,
41:02
Speaker 10: and even though there's some, you know, people that might have,
41:04
Speaker 10: you know, questioned, wow, is this guy really going to
41:06
Speaker 10: be you know, a cornerstone piece for your franchise. I
41:10
Speaker 10: think it was important for him to do that. He's just,
41:13
Speaker 10: he sees the ice at a different level. He's got
41:16
Speaker 10: a skill level that is higher than most, certainly on
41:21
Speaker 10: this team. He's just a special player and it's just
41:25
Speaker 10: fun to watch him. And it's fun to watch him
41:27
Speaker 10: get better every game. You know, I think even watching
41:30
Speaker 10: him in his own end, he's getting better as well.
41:33
Speaker 10: I thought Shane struggled a little bit tonight, and I've
41:36
Speaker 10: been a huge proponent and fan of his this year.
41:39
Speaker 10: I thought he was fighting a little bit, and that
41:42
Speaker 10: maybe took a little bit away from that line, but
41:44
Speaker 10: that's just one game, and Copacabra is going to give
41:47
Speaker 10: you a lot, too. I love that line. I love
41:49
Speaker 10: the fact those three guys are back together, and it's
41:52
Speaker 10: all basically the head of the snake is number 27.
41:56
Speaker 9: And Berkley Catton once again coming through tonight with one goal.
42:00
Speaker 9: Was also plus one. Had one shot on goal. Certainly
42:02
Speaker 9: made a count. Maybe struggled a bit in the face-off circle.
42:06
Speaker 9: But again, the goal he scored at the right time.
42:09
Speaker 9: That got this building going. That got the team into it.
42:12
Speaker 9: They were into a rhythm. Following that and he scores
42:15
Speaker 9: once again a very important goal to push his point
42:17
Speaker 9: streak here to five consecutive games. Yanni Newman maybe was
42:21
Speaker 9: pretty quiet here tonight and I thought he had a
42:23
Speaker 9: great look back in period one. It was his only
42:25
Speaker 9: shot on goal that he had in this game. But
42:27
Speaker 9: eight minutes and 42 seconds. You're maybe not asking much
42:31
Speaker 9: out of him being that it's his first game. The
42:33
Speaker 9: end of the mix here. being called right back up
42:36
Speaker 9: from AHO Coachella Valley. So, I mean, is it too early,
42:40
Speaker 9: you think, to try to make any, you know, notions
42:43
Speaker 9: as far as where he's at right now in this
42:45
Speaker 9: game and where he can fit in this lineup with
42:47
Speaker 9: Jared McCann out of the mix here for quite a while?
42:51
Speaker 10: Yeah, you got to give him some time. I mean,
42:53
Speaker 10: he comes up, he gets, you know, he's in the lineup. Listen, he's,
42:57
Speaker 10: you know, to use a basketball term, he's a spot-up shooter,
42:59
Speaker 10: you know, and if we're being honest, that's kind of
43:01
Speaker 10: what McCann is as well. And so, you know, and
43:06
Speaker 10: he's got an above average shot at the NHL level.
43:11
Speaker 10: You know, he talked about working on his skating in
43:13
Speaker 10: the offseason, and that was something that, you know, they
43:15
Speaker 10: asked him to do. And, you know, I don't put
43:18
Speaker 10: anything into one game with Yanni Newman. You know, you
43:21
Speaker 10: need to score goals in the National Hockey League to win,
43:24
Speaker 10: and tonight they needed five. Yanni Newman can score goals.
43:27
Speaker 10: If nothing else, he can score goals. And you need
43:29
Speaker 10: guys like that. And I think he's going to be
43:32
Speaker 10: just fine. I really hate when people jump to, not you,
43:36
Speaker 10: but just people jump to judgment so fast at times
43:41
Speaker 10: with players. And Yanni's still a young guy finding himself,
43:44
Speaker 10: but I think Lane will hopefully continue to trust him
43:48
Speaker 10: and keep getting those chances. But Newman's going to put
43:51
Speaker 10: the puck in the back of the net. It's going
43:52
Speaker 10: to happen. He did it at a high level at
43:54
Speaker 10: the AHL. He's going to do it here as well.
43:57
Speaker 10: you know, I like the line combinations tonight. I think
43:59
Speaker 10: you just stick with him and let him do his thing.
44:02
Speaker 9: You know, Ian, something fun I thought that fans can
44:04
Speaker 9: get a treat of here because the Leafs only roll
44:07
Speaker 9: once into town per season to climb and pledge arena,
44:10
Speaker 9: and we saw some future on display maybe, I think,
44:12
Speaker 9: as you hinted earlier, not just with Berkley Catton, but
44:15
Speaker 9: also with Gavin McKenna, and their big storyline was him
44:18
Speaker 9: going to the top line, playing left wing with Austin Matthews.
44:22
Speaker 9: He got three points out of the deal. Now, granted,
44:23
Speaker 9: he got his cookies in the power play here, but
44:26
Speaker 9: I mean, for a kid at 18 years of age,
44:29
Speaker 9: what do you think that we saw may be here
44:31
Speaker 9: for down the road for him?
44:34
Speaker 10: Well, I mean, you saw the fact he could finish,
44:36
Speaker 10: you know, and he could put the puck in. He's
44:38
Speaker 10: a guy that can, you know, finish with no doubt.
44:39
Speaker 10: He said something, Matthews, for the game-tying goal, a nice little,
44:43
Speaker 10: you know, nice, neat and tidy three-point night for the 18-year-old.
44:47
Speaker 10: I mean, there's a reason he was the number one
44:48
Speaker 10: pick overall, and you saw that. Now, like, let's be honest.
44:51
Speaker 10: He's playing with Austin Matthews. Like, that helps. on the
44:55
Speaker 10: power play, as you said. He's got his cookies there.
44:58
Speaker 10: I'm not going to diminish him either. He's an elite player.
45:03
Speaker 10: You had to beat the Maple Leafs tonight for a
45:05
Speaker 10: couple reasons. You wanted to close out the homestand. Wrong,
45:08
Speaker 10: they did. Toronto's got a lot of injuries right now.
45:12
Speaker 10: They are really down in terms of guys. When you've
45:16
Speaker 10: got Tavares and Domi and Wood, you go through the
45:19
Speaker 10: list of guys they have out. They're a little bit
45:23
Speaker 10: beat up right now. You lose... You know, the other night,
45:26
Speaker 10: you know, you lose the top power play goal scorer,
45:28
Speaker 10: which is weird because he wouldn't have known that tonight
45:30
Speaker 10: because they just, you know, are lethal on the power play.
45:33
Speaker 10: The only time they did score is when they only
45:35
Speaker 10: had a 22nd power play, but they scored on the
45:37
Speaker 10: four-on-four right before that. So, you know, but, you know,
45:41
Speaker 10: not having Merchenko hurt them. But, yeah, you know, Easton
45:44
Speaker 10: Cowan's a young guy. He's 21 years old. He's a
45:47
Speaker 10: really good player. You know, I'm excited. I think the
45:50
Speaker 10: future of this league is really bright. We saw a
45:52
Speaker 10: bunch of those young guys on display.
45:53
Speaker 12: You know, I.
45:54
Speaker 10: whether it be Shane or Berkeley and for Seattle. I mean,
45:58
Speaker 10: Riker Evans scores again. He's still a young player. I mean,
46:02
Speaker 10: there's a lot of youth that was on display tonight.
46:04
Speaker 10: And then, in the end, it didn't matter because Austin
46:07
Speaker 10: Matthews ties it. Brandon Montour ends up winning it, right?
46:09
Speaker 10: The two veterans end up doing their thing. But what
46:12
Speaker 10: a great– what just a great win. What a dramatic win.
46:15
Speaker 10: What a fun win for the arena. The atmosphere tonight, honestly, Mike,
46:19
Speaker 10: was fantastic too. So, yeah, it's a good night for
46:21
Speaker 10: the Kraken. Good night all the way around.
46:23
Speaker 9: 3-1, they finish here on the homestand. Before we let
46:26
Speaker 9: you go, Ian, just to kind of call balls and
46:28
Speaker 9: strikes on this one to you, what's the greater level
46:31
Speaker 9: of concern as of this point with this team, defending
46:34
Speaker 9: a third-period lead or the penalty kill?
46:39
Speaker 10: Well, I'd say the penalty kill because the third period lead,
46:42
Speaker 10: I think that's just a mindset. I think Lane will
46:44
Speaker 10: get that change for those guys. I mean, they, you know,
46:47
Speaker 10: we talked about it on TV, you know, JP said
46:49
Speaker 10: to me right at the start of the 30 and
46:51
Speaker 10: he's right. He's like, there's going to be a push. Like,
46:53
Speaker 10: like Toronto is going to have a push. You just
46:55
Speaker 10: know it's coming. And, you know, even I mentioned to
46:58
Speaker 10: him on the broadcast, you know, we're doing the game.
46:59
Speaker 10: I said, When it was four on four, I said, JT,
47:03
Speaker 10: it feels like Seattle is approaching this four on four
47:05
Speaker 10: like they're killing a penalty, like it's a five on four.
47:08
Speaker 10: And we kind of agreed, sure enough, 30 seconds later,
47:12
Speaker 10: the puck's in the back of the net. But I
47:15
Speaker 10: think you could change that. I don't know what's wrong
47:17
Speaker 10: with the penalty kill. It's really become a problem. Now,
47:23
Speaker 10: let's also be honest. That first goal that they scored
47:27
Speaker 10: on the power play that Toronto did, Seattle's I thought
47:30
Speaker 10: it cleared the puck, and I think it hit Matthews
47:32
Speaker 10: in the back of the helmet or something right on.
47:34
Speaker 1: The way out.
47:35
Speaker 9: They had two or three great chances to get that
47:37
Speaker 9: puck out.
47:39
Speaker 10: Yeah, just a bad balance. I mean, that happens, right?
47:42
Speaker 10: You get bad balances sometimes. Stuff happens. So, you know,
47:45
Speaker 10: I thought that was unlucky. But, you know, the guys
47:49
Speaker 10: that are killing penalties are guys that you think are,
47:52
Speaker 10: and I think they are good penalty killers, you know,
47:54
Speaker 10: whether it be, you know, Goudreau or Myers or, you know, Winterton,
47:58
Speaker 10: the guys up front that, you know, kind of grind away. I,
48:01
Speaker 10: you know, I don't know, Schneekloff runs it, and Lane,
48:05
Speaker 10: I mean, Aaron's a really good coach. So I don't think,
48:08
Speaker 10: I think that'll come around. It needs to come around
48:10
Speaker 10: pretty darn quick, though, because you can't just keep giving
48:12
Speaker 10: up a power play goal or two every night. That's
48:15
Speaker 10: just unacceptable, and it's not going to be sustainable either.
48:20
Speaker 10: But the third period lead, I will be curious to
48:23
Speaker 10: hear what Lane says. I I wonder if someone's going
48:25
Speaker 10: to ask him about it or not, because I know
48:26
Speaker 10: he's been a little bit short with that question when
48:29
Speaker 10: it comes. But it probably will come tonight. At least
48:32
Speaker 10: it should come tonight when we hear him in a
48:34
Speaker 10: couple minutes. But listen, Mike, at the end of the day,
48:37
Speaker 10: they don't ask how. They just ask what happened. You
48:39
Speaker 10: got two points, a 3-1 homestand. You know, we put
48:44
Speaker 10: together a piece of the pregame show on TV. The
48:49
Speaker 10: one concern I think that's interesting is it feels like
48:52
Speaker 10: they're kind of living on the edge right now in
48:55
Speaker 10: terms of, like, when they win, it's like tonight. It's dramatic.
49:00
Speaker 10: It's close. Damn, it's highly entertaining.
49:04
Speaker 1: That's fun.
49:06
Speaker 10: But it's close. When they lose, it's like what we
49:09
Speaker 10: saw the other night. You know, like, it's not close.
49:12
Speaker 10: The disparity is crazy. Most of your losses, you're scoring
49:16
Speaker 10: a goal and that's it. They've got to find some
49:19
Speaker 10: sort of happy ground and happy medium along the way.
49:22
Speaker 10: Even with missing players, that's a good Toronto team, a
49:25
Speaker 10: quality team. That's a two-time Pesina winner and a two-time
49:28
Speaker 10: Stanley Cup champion goal. They beat him five times. That's
49:32
Speaker 10: what I look at too. Berkeley keeps that point streak alive.
49:35
Speaker 10: Five games now with a point for Berkeley Cat and
49:39
Speaker 10: A bunch of guys with multiple points. And how about
49:41
Speaker 10: the muzz-sop, huh? How about Josh Mahura?
49:44
Speaker 9: He loves seeing the Maple Leafs, doesn't.
49:48
Speaker 13: He?
49:48
Speaker 10: I mean, I think I heard Brett say, who's the president,
49:51
Speaker 10: Brett Festling, on a TV show on our studio panel.
49:54
Speaker 10: I think Brett said that he's got three career goals
49:57
Speaker 10: and all three against Toronto. Is that right?
49:59
Speaker 1: Yes, correct.
50:00
Speaker 9: He loves seeing the Maple Leafs.
50:03
Speaker 10: Like, it's... Just tell him it's the Leafs every game.
50:08
Speaker 10: The guy will be an 80-goal scorer. It's nuts.
50:11
Speaker 1: Whatever it takes in this business.
50:16
Speaker 10: That was a hell of a goal, too. Not just
50:19
Speaker 10: the finish. Really, if we're being honest, the heavy work
50:23
Speaker 10: was him jumping up. What a beautiful pass that Myers
50:26
Speaker 10: feathered over there, right? I don't know. We're still in
50:32
Speaker 10: the entertainment business. And that was entertaining tonight. That was
50:36
Speaker 10: really entertaining tonight. And I love everything about it except
50:39
Speaker 10: for the fact you'd rather not see a lead get blown.
50:42
Speaker 10: You'd rather not see that happen. We all get that.
50:46
Speaker 10: But if you can say, hey, we're going to draw
50:49
Speaker 10: up a script. We're not going to tell you how.
50:52
Speaker 10: We're going to draw up a script. And Seattle's going
50:55
Speaker 10: to win the game in the waiting seconds with 30
50:57
Speaker 10: seconds to go. I'll take that every day. I'm in.
51:01
Speaker 10: I'm taking it. I'm signing up for it. I'm enjoying it.
51:04
Speaker 10: Play a little Foo Fighters. Cue up a few Foo
51:05
Speaker 10: Fighters afterwards, huh? Times like these. Here we go. Have
51:09
Speaker 10: some fun. Eat the fish. Big win. Thank you for coming.
51:13
Speaker 9: I will crank up Foo Fighters in this car in
51:15
Speaker 9: about roughly 10 minutes once we're all done here. But
51:17
Speaker 9: before that, Lane Lambert joins us. Mayor, drive back home safely.
51:21
Speaker 9: Great work once again. Appreciate you.
51:23
Speaker 1: Thank you, man.
51:25
Speaker 10: Mikey, you might be doing radio tomorrow. I think I
51:27
Speaker 10: might have pulled a softie and lost my voice. But, yeah,
51:30
Speaker 10: I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, no.
51:32
Speaker 9: Well, you had the softie thing going on here. I
51:34
Speaker 9: think my computer has a softie going on at this point.
51:37
Speaker 9: It was falling apart with the keyboard. Now I got
51:40
Speaker 9: some mouse issues. So we're trying to fly by the
51:42
Speaker 9: seat of our pants to get this thing here into
51:44
Speaker 9: the homestretch. But we will do it.
51:46
Speaker 1: You were great. You're always great.
51:48
Speaker 9: Ian, thank you very much here for joining us. That's
51:50
Speaker 9: Ian Ferdows joining us. on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Very
51:53
Speaker 9: quick check right now, the Tacoma Dodge text line, 49451.
51:58
Speaker 9: From the 425, you say the Kraken blow a third
52:01
Speaker 9: period lead. Well, maybe take a shot, but at least
52:05
Speaker 9: Brandon Montour stopped another OT. Now from the 425, reaction
52:09
Speaker 9: here from the 564. Looking like Bertley Catton is proving
52:14
Speaker 9: the 564 wrong. And go down the list here for
52:17
Speaker 9: the 314. Just saying a horrible game by Sergei Bobrovsky.
52:22
Speaker 9: He maybe bailed the Kraken out, and maybe Vince Dunn
52:24
Speaker 9: as well, who kind of gave some space to Austin
52:26
Speaker 9: Matthews on that goal.
52:28
Speaker 1: That from the 3-1-4.
52:30
Speaker 9: I certainly see where maybe at 6-on-5 you're looking for
52:33
Speaker 9: better coverage, especially on a guy like that. But a
52:36
Speaker 9: few shots that surprisingly beat Bobrovsky that maybe you're seeing
52:40
Speaker 9: handled by him earlier in his day. He definitely had
52:43
Speaker 9: a shaky game, but the Kraken certainly taking advantage of that.
52:48
Speaker 9: I asked on Twitter, by the way, in X, give
52:50
Speaker 9: me your thoughts on this game maybe in one sentence.
52:53
Speaker 9: And we get one here from the Scary Cats saying
52:56
Speaker 9: the Hockey Gods willed this victory into existence. Mattia saying
53:01
Speaker 9: absolute cinema. Joel saying third period might be the biggest
53:04
Speaker 9: worst enemy here for this team. It's got to get
53:07
Speaker 9: figured out here. Same thing here from Christopher Davis.
53:10
Speaker 1: Two points.
53:11
Speaker 9: It's nice, but you've got to figure out the third period.
53:13
Speaker 9: We get one here from SBellman523. Maybe this defense needs
53:19
Speaker 9: someone like Simon Edmondson here. Maybe take maybe an overture
53:23
Speaker 9: at Dylan Larkin, too. You've got to stop taking penalties.
53:26
Speaker 9: The penalty kill needs some work here, but net-wise, a
53:29
Speaker 9: great win. Great homestand. That from Espelman, 5-2-3. All right,
53:33
Speaker 9: we'll take a break here. Reaction from Lane Lambert is
53:36
Speaker 9: right around the corner as the Kraken beat the Leafs 5-4,
53:39
Speaker 9: closing out the homestand at 3-1 here on Talking Kraken
53:42
Speaker 9: on 93.3 KJRFM.
53:45
Speaker 2: If you've got a comment about tonight's Kraken game, make
53:48
Speaker 2: sure we hear about it. Just text us at 49451.
53:52
Speaker 2: Now back to Talking Kraken with Mike Benton on Sports
53:56
Speaker 2: Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
54:00
Speaker 9: Kraken beat the Leafs 5-4 as they get the first
54:03
Speaker 9: matchup of the season. One more matchup coming up. That will,
54:05
Speaker 9: of course, be in Toronto as the Kraken improve to
54:08
Speaker 9: 8-4 and 1. The Leafs now 7-6 and 2. Mike
54:11
Speaker 9: Benton with you back at Tom's Watch Bar. We go
54:13
Speaker 9: right back across the street to Climate Pledge Arena and
54:17
Speaker 9: downstairs now for more reaction with Kraken head coach, Lane Lambert.
54:22
Speaker 24: Lane, what did you think of your team's performance tonight
54:24
Speaker 24: just in general? I thought it was pretty good. I
54:27
Speaker 24: think we chart 5. five-on-five scoring chances against. Our zone
54:31
Speaker 24: time was way down in terms of D zone. I
54:37
Speaker 24: think that we were hard to play against for the
54:41
Speaker 24: most part, and I thought we played a good hockey game.
54:44
Speaker 24: You started multiple periods with your fourth line and your
54:47
Speaker 24: third pair. On the second period, they come out and
54:49
Speaker 24: score 16 seconds in. When you send them out, what
54:52
Speaker 24: is the What is the hope there? Are they setting
54:54
Speaker 24: the tone? Are you sending them out to score a goal?
54:57
Speaker 24: What are you hoping to see happen?
54:58
Speaker 26: Well, I get less change, so they started their fourth line.
55:01
Speaker 26: So it's a matchup thing. And, you know, with our
55:06
Speaker 26: fourth line, there's all kinds of hopes there. You know, momentum, score, defend.
55:12
Speaker 26: You know, we think we have a pretty good fourth line.
55:14
Speaker 26: So that was the theory behind it, but it was
55:18
Speaker 26: a matchup thing.
55:19
Speaker 24: You talked last game about offense generation. What did you
55:22
Speaker 24: think of it tonight?
55:26
Speaker 1: I thought it was better.
55:28
Speaker 26: I mean, in terms of how we played and how
55:32
Speaker 26: I thought how sound we were defensively for the most part,
55:35
Speaker 26: five on five, I think we generated some pretty decent
55:39
Speaker 26: chances offensively. It was a low event hockey game. It
55:44
Speaker 26: was not.
55:48
Speaker 1: That's not a.
55:48
Speaker 26: Bad thing for us. I thought we generated some chances,
55:52
Speaker 26: but I thought we kept it low event for a reason.
55:55
Speaker 26: They've got some dynamic players over there. Five on five,
56:00
Speaker 26: we were the better hockey team. I think that our
56:04
Speaker 26: penalty killing, we've got to do something there to fix that.
56:10
Speaker 26: We can't keep getting scored on like that. Four on
56:13
Speaker 26: four goal, we lost coverage. And then a six on
56:17
Speaker 26: five goal at the end, which, you know, I mean,
56:19
Speaker 26: there's a, there's a goal scorer doing his thing. Um,
56:24
Speaker 26: and that's just the way it goes, you know? So, um,
56:27
Speaker 26: five on five, I liked our game a lot.
56:30
Speaker 10: Lane, Josh Mahara just seems to have a thing for
56:32
Speaker 10: scoring against Toronto.
56:33
Speaker 1: What did you see from him in his game tonight?
56:35
Speaker 1: You know, obviously gets the goal, but what did you
56:36
Speaker 1: make of his entire effort?
56:38
Speaker 26: Yeah, I think he's just been playing hard, uh, doing
56:41
Speaker 26: his job. He tries to do the right things.
56:43
Speaker 1: Um, Keeps it simple.
56:45
Speaker 26: And he does a good job of joining the rush
56:47
Speaker 26: at the right times.
56:49
Speaker 1: And obviously he got rewarded.
56:50
Speaker 26: It's a heck of a play, you know, right from
56:52
Speaker 26: the very beginning on the breakout and the wall play.
56:55
Speaker 26: And then Benny made a nice play on the two-on-one.
56:56
Speaker 26: It was a great goal for us.
56:59
Speaker 11: Coach, you wanted to build your identity. Yes, it's a
57:04
Speaker 11: mystery voice.
57:05
Speaker 24: Yeah, there you go.
57:07
Speaker 1: I know the voice.
57:08
Speaker 11: On tight defense, you've been winning with prolific– offense, do
57:15
Speaker 11: you care how you win as long as you win?
57:19
Speaker 26: Well, a win's a win's a win. And clearly, like
57:24
Speaker 26: I said, I care about, I'll never ever discredit a win,
57:30
Speaker 26: but certainly I care about our five-on-five game. I care
57:34
Speaker 26: about our defensive play in terms of how much time.
57:36
Speaker 26: That's why I was pleased with the game tonight.
57:38
Speaker 11: The other thing about the third period was Riker Evans
57:42
Speaker 11: put a puck on goal from 130 feet out for
57:46
Speaker 11: the first 19 minutes of the third period. That was
57:49
Speaker 11: the only Kraken shot on goal. Would you, in retrospect,
57:55
Speaker 11: like to see the team be more aggressive or assertive,
57:59
Speaker 11: whatever you call it, instead of sitting back once you
58:03
Speaker 11: develop a lead?
58:04
Speaker 26: Yeah, I think that, you know, you'd always like to
58:07
Speaker 26: see it a little bit, for sure. I'm not going
58:09
Speaker 26: to say no. You know, we'd love to have a
58:13
Speaker 26: few more shots and things like that. But I thought
58:15
Speaker 26: we were really sound. They didn't get a scoring chance
58:18
Speaker 26: five on five in the third period. Let me just
58:19
Speaker 26: put it that way.
58:23
Speaker 9: That reaction from Kraken head coach Lane Lambert. So there
58:25
Speaker 9: you go. You're going right back here to the focus
58:28
Speaker 9: of five on five play. And while the Kraken did
58:30
Speaker 9: once again give up a third period lead, again, plenty
58:33
Speaker 9: of issues as far as the penalty killing, a four
58:35
Speaker 9: on four goal. That's where the focus is going right
58:38
Speaker 9: now to try to get a few things done. tweak
58:41
Speaker 9: but at five on five you're not too dissatisfied here
58:44
Speaker 9: with the effort you certainly take it especially how things
58:47
Speaker 9: can be very hairy and very chaotic with mistakes and
58:50
Speaker 9: sloppy play at this portion of the season but definitely
58:54
Speaker 9: the Kraken maybe you're looking for a greater push if
58:56
Speaker 9: you're putting it that way as far as trying to
58:58
Speaker 9: close out games when they are ahead. Nonetheless as Lane
59:02
Speaker 9: Lambert said a win's a win and the Kraken turn
59:04
Speaker 9: their attention now to the Calgary Flames who lost tonight
59:07
Speaker 9: 4-0 against Edmonton and until the 14th of November, 7
59:12
Speaker 9: of 8, they are playing right now on the road. So,
59:15
Speaker 9: Calgary have their four-game winning streak upended, and the Kraken
59:19
Speaker 9: will try to make it 3-0 in this head-to-head series,
59:22
Speaker 9: and facing a team that may be gaining a little
59:24
Speaker 9: bit more confidence in the recent going, Devin Cooley a
59:27
Speaker 9: big part of that. He came into today, by the way,
59:30
Speaker 9: Amongst the lead leaders, 9-1-5 save percentage. And their special
59:35
Speaker 9: team certainly getting better. Power play fourth best in the NHL,
59:38
Speaker 9: so the penalty kill may be as a test ahead
59:40
Speaker 9: of them. And the Flames PK fifth in the NHL
59:45
Speaker 9: entering today. But still having some issues trying to keep
59:47
Speaker 9: the puck out of their own net right now. They
59:49
Speaker 9: came into today, by the way, next to last in
59:51
Speaker 9: the NHL, 3.7 goals per game. That's our next broadcast. Again,
59:56
Speaker 9: Kraken at Calgary, face-offs at 5, airtime 4.30, live watch
1:00:00
Speaker 9: party right back here at Tom's Watch Bar. We certainly
1:00:03
Speaker 9: hope that you can join us on the Global Credit
1:00:05
Speaker 9: Union Kraken Audio Network. Our thanks to Travis Moger, our
1:00:09
Speaker 9: technical director again, our on-site engineer, Terry Ryan, and that
1:00:12
Speaker 9: will do it for all of us, for all of
1:00:15
Speaker 9: you here, by the way. Big thanks also to the
1:00:17
Speaker 9: staff at Tom's Watch Bar and certainly for your reactions.
1:00:21
Speaker 9: Big thank you to also Ian Furness for joining us.
1:00:23
Speaker 9: And this is Mike Benton saying goodnight from Climate Pledge Arena.
1:00:26
Speaker 9: And from Tom's Watch Bar, we thank you for joining us.
1:00:28
Speaker 9: Your final score, once again, Kraken 5, Maple Leafs 4.
1:00:33
Speaker 9: This is Tuck and Kraken on 93.3 KJRFM.
