  Speaker 1: Back with cracking head coach leih Lambert lane. You get
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the point in Montreal state unbeaten in regulation on the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: young season. Just take us back through that sixty five
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: minute effort for Seattle.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Oh well, you know, you used a good word there, effort.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I thought. I thought the effort was there all night.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't think I didn't think that was a problem.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: That's what we asked for, first and foremost out of
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: our hockey team every night. I thought we got it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I thought we made a couple of mistakes, and you're
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: gonna make mistakes, you know. But I thought we made
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a couple of mistakes that we shouldn't have and they
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: ended up, you know, they ended up in the back
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of our net. And that was the biggest difference I
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: think between the first game and the second game. In
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the third game is just, you know, our mistakes cost us,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: whereas you know, against Vegas or Anaheim, you know, we
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: didn't make quite as many mistakes, and you know, it
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: wasn't quite as costly. But I thought the effort was there.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a good hockey game for the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: most part. In a you know, in a pretty hostile environment.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: What do you make of your team's ability to get
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: down a goal, tie the game, down a goal, tie
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the game, continue to battle back all night long, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: like you said, in spite of all of those mistakes,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: find a way to salvage a point and put yourself
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: in the best position to win through sixty five minutes.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, that's just part of continuing to do
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: what you do for the entire game and not deviating
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: from the plan. You can't get discouraged if you go
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: down a goal, and our guys did a great job
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of continuing to come back, and you know, eventually we
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: took the lead, and you know we we couldn't close
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: it out. We didn't close it out. Those are things
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: again that as we progress here, we have to, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: make sure that we do a better job of doing.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, there's two teams out there
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and you know they're trying to tie it, We're trying
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to make sure that we keep the lead, and you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it just didn't work out for us in that particular night.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But again, three games in, we've done a pretty good
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: job of our work ethic and trying to build and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: do some things that we've talked about since day one.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: A training count. Is it perfect no? Will it be perfect?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: No? But you know that effort is the Jannie Newman
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: gets his first goal of the season and that four
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: flying really has been an energy catalyst. That seems like
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: through these first three games, what have you made of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: their play? Centered by Freddie Gutjo with Carts along with Newman.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: There very good. You know, I knew Freddy coming in
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: was a valuable piece in the role he was going
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to play. Carts and Freddie are the first two over
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the boards on Pentalley kills and they're getting better and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: better at it. And then Yanni's add a little element
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of size to that line, and you know, and he's
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: got an offensive ability. So for me, it was nice
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to see Yanni get to the net. You know he's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: got the shot, but at the end of the day,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you have to get to the net in this league
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to score goals. And know, it was a good job
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: by him to get there and a really good job
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: by Cards to throw it there. So the line has
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: been good for us.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Looking at the Audible Senators, you talked about this earlier
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this morning about their prowess in the face off circle.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They're missing a couple of big pieces, mainly in Brady Kachuk.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: What type of issues do they present to this cracking
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: team tonight.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Well, they're they're a good hockey team, you know, They're
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I don't even think you can call them an up
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and coming hockey team anymore. They're here. You know, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: proved that last season, and they proved that in a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: very hard fought playoff series against Toronto. And you know
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: they they play fast and they play hard, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: so there's there's a pair of elements there that you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: know can be dangerous. They've got good power play and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you know they've got some skills. So you know, we
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: have to make sure that we understand that we manage
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the game, manage the game properly, and as as always,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we have to do our our job, continue with our
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: work ethic, and continue with our identity. You know, our
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: our offense will piggyback off off of our defense, all right,
