• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks Mike Lane. It was a three to two win
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for your guys. The other night against the La Kings.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: You snapped the slide that you were on the power play,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: getting three for seven on their opportunities. All in all,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: pretty good night for Seattle.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: We I just thought we played well, and I you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I've been saying and I've been saying that for the
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: most part, we've been playing well, you know, and then
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: they went ahead with you know, five minutes left or
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: whatever it was, and and you know, it was really
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: a huge thing that we tied it up, you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: with our goalie pulled and we're able to get the
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: victory because our guys have been working hard and I
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: just feel like they deserved a you know, a break
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: and a better fate.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Than maybe what we've been getting.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And so it was good to see going into that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: time out of the third period. What was that message
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to your group?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know what I mean, at the end
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: of the day, you can't dwell on the past.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: You just got to focus on what's next.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: You know, after we gave up that peak a goal,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: we still had another two minute kill, and I thought
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: our guys did an outstanding job of doing that. You
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: talk about timing and timely kills. You know, if they
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: score back to back three.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: One games over.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we had some We had some solid efforts
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: when we needed them, from both the power play and
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the penalty film.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You've got power play goals now in three of your
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: last five games. Do you think that this power play
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: has turned that proverbial corner from what you've been seeing
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the last halfle.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Well, look at you know, I keep saying you're going
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to go through little peaks and valleys, and you know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: with twelve shots on goal against Edmonton, everybody thought the
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: power play, oh was you know, in trouble. But you
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: got to look at the you know, you got to
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: look at the volume and the shot volume and what
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: was happening, and you know at some point we were
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: going to break out of it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And we did.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We just found out earlier this morning. Jared mccannon back
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on the injury reserved list three weeks with a lower
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: body injury. We could ask you this a million times,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: but we'll ask you a million and one. What does
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this loss mean for the Seattle Crackett And I guess
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it's for on a personal note for Jared, I mean
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it's got to be frustrating for him to not be
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: able to get this season off the way he wants it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's been a struggle for
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: him right from the start, with a variation of injuries.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And not much time spent on the ice.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I feel bad for him, clearly, it would
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: you know, it would be tough to go through, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: and just got to somehow try and find a way
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to move forward and you know, focus on his recovery
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and his rehab. You know, for our hockey team, you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he's basically a point a game guy for us. You know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: it's really hard to replace that, especially where we haven't
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: been scoring a lot of goals. And you know, he
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: fits in real nice on that line with Viniars and every.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So that poses a little bit of a problem.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: And you know, with Schwartz and cag and also being out,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you know, we're challenged.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: We're challenged offensively for sure. But at the end of
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the day, you know, it is what it is.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: We have to find guys and find ways to step
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: up and win hockey games.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: There's always a way to win a game.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Earlier this morning in Mediaville, you said that there's some
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: guys who are battling some sicknesses along with the guys
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you just mentioned who are out from injury. How does
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that game how does that impact the game plan here
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: tonight against a Utah team that is skilled as fast
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they they're themselves. One of the surprises of this league
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: early on? What is that game plan for your team
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like tonight?
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It doesn't change, you know, just we plug different personnel
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: into different places.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You know, whether we play eleven d and you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Know, or eleven forward sorry and seven defensemen or twelve
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: forwards and sixty we don't even know right now. We've
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: got a couple guys that didn't even come to the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: rink this morning. So at the end of the day,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the game starts at seven o'clock, you got to be
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: ready to go.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Dash Strip continues a kind of a weird quirk in Seattle,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the La King's mom's trip also overlapping with the.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Crack and dad's trip.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen two trips like that over overlap?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And now that we're forty eight hours in, what's it
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: been like having the dads around and seeing, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: again where your players come from and the people that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they've been able to turn into because of their parents.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's really good.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And I don't recall seeing you know, sort of them
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: overlap kind of thing. But you know, for us, it's important.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: It's important to see it. You know, you get you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: get to see character traits you know that you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: dads and sons have. You know, it's kind of interesting.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It's kind of cool to see that. I get to
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: know the parents on a little bit more personal level,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you know, with you know, going for dinner last night
• 4:47

  Speaker 3: the last couple of days, but you know, just really
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: really nice to be able to see, you know, the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: players and staff members share with you know, their person
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: whatever that might be, you know, share what their experiences
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: are and what they go through on a daily basis.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: We did meetings this morning.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: You know, they were all there for the meetings that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: we have with the players and stuff.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: There's a lot more that goes into.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: A hockey game and getting randed for a hockey game
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: than just stepping out on the ice.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So good for them to
• 5:25
