• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Crack and captain Jordan Everley, goaltender Philip Grubauer, and head
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: coach Lane Lambert as well. Last evening the Kraken facing
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: an Anaheim team that can certainly turn up the heat
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: as far as the offensive game for the Kraken, holding
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: firm with their strugure disrupting plenty of plays for Anaheim
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: as a broke into the offensive zone and the penalty
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: kill as well, coming up in a huge way with
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a two of two efforts, including an early Ducks man
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: advantage that fell by the wayside with no shots on goal. Eventually,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it was Freddie Gudrou who got things going at four
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to forty nine a period two, he got his second
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: goal of the season and on the power play, a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: pinball light type of play at the front of the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: net with Shane Wright and Coppocco helping him out. After
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Mikyle Granlin type things up a fifteen forty the krack
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and then put their foot to the gas pedal. In
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: period three, Ducks break in kracking, take it away right side,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Cocko Tuveneers into the zone left side for every.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Hess Jordan every nine fifty six remaining in period three
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: on pier snipe left circle. After all that chaos, the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: captain lifting the Kraken to a two to one lead.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: On many Peers and Jordan Eberley. They've played so much together.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Matty Veneers gets that puck in the middle of the
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: ice he's looking for every he draws the defensive to him,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: slides it over. Everty goes top shelf glove side on
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: the stall, two to one crack, a.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Com long lead feed broken up Tobdin got one ahead
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Everley to the empty.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Ninety scars sword and every flipboards deliver is a big
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: blow and it could be.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: The final one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Thirty five second s left in regulation as Everley breaking
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: the time went back to back goals and the Crack
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: and take a three to one lead.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Well, it is only Toven and that did some great
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: work along the wall there to get that buck free
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: to Jordan Eberley. Jordan Everley skated into a got a
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: backhand off and found the middle of the net three
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: one cracking, thirty six seconds left. This one looks like
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: it's gonna.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Fall to Seattle, so the captain helping lift the Crack
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: into a three to one win over the Anaheim Ducks
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: with things getting awfully rough and the crack and also
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: dealing with the loss of Vince Dune who would not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: return after a hit by Ross Johnston ad center Rice
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and the kracking forced to shuffle into a mode of
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: playing five defenseman for the rest of the entire game.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: But not to fear when you have goaltending. Usually two
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: points are in year when that goaltending steps up, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Philip Grubauer did just that, delivering a season high forty
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: saves and four off his career high set back in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: March of twenty nineteen. Additionally, Jordan Everley, with a pair
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of goals, gave the Kraken a two to zero record
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: against the Ducks head to head. Here for this season
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and for the Kraken, a feeling that matters could be
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: potentially turning the corner now with back to back wins
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: on this four game road trip. Here's more reaction after
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the game with Crack and goaltender Philip Grubauer.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: For a game like Dad is it, it's sort of
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: been a good way and you're in the rhythm, you're
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: getting so many.
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: Shots, Yeah, for sure.
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: I mean it's not ideal. Like in the second period,
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: I don't think we got too much going and we
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: sat back a little bit. So we definitely learned from that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: But we stick together. Cart c see like huge hip
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: guys stepping up for each other. That's huge, and we
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: found a way to play it the right way. In
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: the last greade there.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: And the penalty kill, you guys can get one very early,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: right and it's almost ships the moment of in your
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: in your favor. How'd you feel about the killed right?
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, awesome, awesome job. I mean everybody makes it makes
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: it easy. Everybody's on the same page. You said the
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: two type of Lindley, they're huge block. There's there's there's
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: guys stepping up and like eating those shots. So those
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: are those are huge blocks and that's what we need.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: It's easy to think then you guys scout your opponents
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: and but in the heat of the game, do we
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: even know who's shooting? Sometimes that you were some of
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: the guys who were.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: For Yeah, for sure, you got to like for us,
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: like you know who has a pretty dangerous shot and
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: who is on the ice for them? I don't really
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: know oversee, like our guys, I don't really know sometimes
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: who's on the ice for us, but I always know
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: who's on on their forward side. They're really shifty, they
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: activate their d pretty pretty good, and they spread us
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: out pretty well. But like we found a way to
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: to keep them to the outside and box guys out,
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: and that's huge because they're.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: A big team.
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: They're always going to the net and getting like the
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: gold they scored sticks on it, like they're so.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Best question for me is what you've been with this
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: team obviously, like Jordan all five years. What'd you say
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: about this group the way you've played the last couple
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: of nights with kind of up against the wall on
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: this trip.
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, amazing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: We we find a way. We got to find a way, right, Like,
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: look at the standings, it's it's pretty tight, but we
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: can't afford to lose too many, right, But sometimes you need.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: To go through that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: And we have an awesome group here sacrificing and doing
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: the right things for the team, and that's that's key
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: moving forward.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: AFT is your d in in this game tonight?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: Everybody's important.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: I think forwards too. I said it to Shaner.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: He balks somebody out in front of me in the
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: first period, which was huge and allowed me to make
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: an easy safe right, So everybody everybody's doing that part.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Jordan Everley extending his crack and goal scoring lead now
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to twelve total for the entire season, already surpassing last
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: season's total in an injury shortened twenty seven game campaign.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Your Zebraly's reaction after the win in Anaheim.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: So Jordan lots of good things about tonight, But your
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: take on this team and just the idea of the
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: last two games, you guys kind of coming back and
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: believing in yourselves.
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it hasn't been easy. I mean we've
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: I think what at least say, we've been tied prior
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: to these couple prior leading sixth to the nine, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: you know, we haven't found a way and things haven't
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: gone for us. So, you know, last couple of games
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: they have. I think the belief is a magical thing.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: You got to just believe in. You know, diversity is
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: going to hit, and we have it right now, not
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: just on the ice, but I mean we've lost guys
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: key pieces and we've still found it away. So I
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: mean we're still in this thing. We got another chance
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: to do it tomorrow.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: The fourth line comes out with physicality and it actually
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: sort of annoying the other team, maybe distracting them. Your
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: thoughts on on how those guys did in the third periods.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: No, I was sitting it out there. They were we
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: were playing on our heels. They were all over us,
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: and they kind of went out and created some energy
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: for us, and that's what you needed to do.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: So good autumn and the goal.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: You got a couple of good plays from your teammates.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: You can talk about a little bit what both of
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: those guys did to set you up.
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Capy made a good play and won a battle,
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: and Matty just slid it over, and you know it
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: was nice to find that out there. So timely goals,
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: I think. You know, when you're not creating a ton
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: of offense, you're playing a lot of defense.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: You know, you got to capitalize. So we did that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Needless to say, Crack and Goltending have been facing their
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: share of shots over the last four games, thirty nine
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: against the Avalanche, forty six against Calgary, thirty six against
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: San Jose, and forty one last night in Anaheim, but
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: again Cracking Goltutending coming through with a penalty kill and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: an a brace. The fourth line led by Jacob Malonson,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Ty Cartier and Ben Myers, Karchier and Malonson combining for
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: nine hits on the night, while Myers went at three
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of five at the facetof circle. For more reaction after
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: this one, here's that coach Laane Lambert with the media
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in Anaheim, Layne.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: How did your fourth line impact this game? They turned
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: it around for us in the third period.
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: You know, a couple of great shifts, a couple of
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: big hits, got us emotionally involved.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: And you know, I thought that between them and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: Philip Grubauer, it's probably the main reason why we won
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: the game.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Groove you played outstanding. Also, you win the special Teams
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: battle tonight as well.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: It's all like there's been some games where you've won
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: them and still not won the game overall. What are
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: you going to hope the guys take away from trusting
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the process?
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: Well that you know it's been it's been good here lately.
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: Obviously apparently kill has gotten better, our power pay continues
• 8:45
  Speaker 10: to give us goals when when we need it. So
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: we just have to continue with that momentum.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: What do you like about Coppo Cockle.
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: In that line of medic years and Jordan now he's working,
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: he makes plays, you know, he holds onto bucks.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: You know, it's a good spot for him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 10: You know, I hadn't seen in that spot prior to uh,
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: you know, a couple of games.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: Ago, and.
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: It's good for it's been a good change for him
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: to get up there and those guys to have him there.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: And I'm guessing you were too crazy about the second
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: period in terms of them getting more chances. But it
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: did seem to like the guys helped together.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: Well, they did, they battled.
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: You know, there was again a lot of commitment, but uh,
• 9:27
  Speaker 10: you know, we just spend too much time on our
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: own and it's not a recipe for success.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: Our goaltender was our best player tonight.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So after a rough eleven games, stressed, the Crack and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: half something to finally feel good about as far as
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: banking results on their side, moving back to within five
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: points of the cut line in the Western Conference with
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: a big game looming here in Los Angeles for the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: final game before the holiday break. As far as that
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: five point gap that is shared by Utah and the team,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the crack And are facing this evening in the Los
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Angeles King, So you're talking about potential four points game
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: with pretty heavy implications before the Kraken and the rest
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: of the league will shut down for the holiday. It's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the crack And again one and no head to head
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: against the Kings, a team that presents a game pretty
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: much a polar opposite of last night's opponent. The Kings
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: don't score much, but won't give up much as well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: they are second best right now in the NHL, allowing
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: just two and a half goals a game, but they
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: ask some offensive issues as well here for this season,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: with just two and a half goals per games scored
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: on their side, that is third lowest in the entire league.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And the Kings, coming off last night a three to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: one loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, had a goal
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: from Andre Cuzmenko. Nothing be signs that with the Kings
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: going zero for five on the power play, Jet Greeves
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: in net for Columbus out dueling Anton Forstburg in net
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: for Los Angeles, So it wouldn't be surprising here to
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: see the crack and go with Joey Decord in net
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: here for today up against Phoenix Copley on the Los
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Angeles Kings side. The Kings with a little bit of
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: a healthier front right now. Darcy Kemper is their only
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: player right now on injury reserve, and the kracking, well,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we'll see how much you have to go without here
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: for this sevening. Again, Vince done no update after last
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: evening's game with the krack and already dealing with players
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: on the shelf such as Jaden Schwartz, Jereed McCann, Brandon Montour,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Berkeley Catton and goaltender Matt Murray. Of course, of the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Krake in side Elie Tulvinen want to watch out for
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: here for this evening four game points scoring streak heading
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: into this one, Freddie Goodroz got points in three straight games,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and the Kings, despite their offensive struggles, still led by
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Adrian Kempe with thirteen goals and thirty points on this campaign,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: face off this evening at seven o'clock from Crypto dot
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Com Arena airtime six thirty for your pregame show served
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: up by Frost Brewed cors Light. I'll have the call
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: with Al Koniski Andrew Sercht back in Network Central. All
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: across the Global Credit Union Kraken Audio Network enjoy this game,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Happy holidays and for Kracken this morning, I Mike Benton,
