  Speaker 3: inside the crack of blue line, got us head up
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and found McCann down that left side. Instead of going
• 4:33

• 4:35

• 5:06
  Speaker 2: as Winnipeg coming on top on that battle and they
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: take their biggest lead this evening at five too well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the Krakens showing promise, but Winnipeg's runs and their power
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: play too much to overcome. Last night, the Kraken falling
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: six to two to the Winnipeg Jets, as Winnipeg salvaging
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: one win out of three tries against the Kraken in
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the head to head series. Jordan Everlely got his twenty
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: fifth goal of the season back in period one. Jared
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: McCann also with now nineteen in just his forty ninth game,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: putting him on pace for a thirty one goal season
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: over the course of an eighty two game schedule. Of course,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: he has missed time this year due to injury. After
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the game, here's more reaction from McCann in Winnipeg.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of a lot of games
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: this year, we've kind of haven't been able to kill
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: off and we lose a lot of moments something. You know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: it's it's tough because I know where guys are trying
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: and where guys are trying to block shots and do
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the right things, and you know, I can't give you
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: a reason why you know that's not going our way,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: but you know it's, uh, it's frustrating for everybody. We
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: all see it. We're we're trying to stay positive and
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: grind throat.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: How did you think how you guys started that game,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: like back in October when anything, they.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Had hardly any shots, right, Yeah, I felt like we
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: controlled a lot of the play in the first period
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: and I had a lot of good, good looks and
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: you know, especially that for our fourth line, there was
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: was creating a lot of offense for us in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: A zone and working them down low. So you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: obviously we're we're all pretty frustrated with the way things
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: have gotten the last nothing of bet here, and but
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you know, we're we're gonna stay together. We're gonna stay
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: as team.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: To what extent do you.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Feel like you guys played within your structure tonight. It's
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: kind of a big theme that we have heard it
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: this morning.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, shots to the net. You know, when when things
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: aren't going well, you try to simplify, you know, keep
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: it simple and get pucks the naked bodies in front
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: and create traffic, make a hard hard to see them
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: and kind of get a greasy one.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: So cracking penalty kill going through a tough night, giving
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: up a three for three effort to Winnipeg on the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: power play as they got goals on the Manavanda jeach
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: from Jonathan Taves, Gabriel Villardi, and Kyle Connor. Freddie Goodrou
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: will be back in Minnesota for the first time since
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: leaving the Wild to Seattle via trade this last offseason,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and he shared more on the penalty kill from last
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: night's game way and the factor a bad balance is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: versus execution.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: I think when things are going right, you feel like
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: everybody's connected and on the same page. I think it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: a question of confidence too, when you're just thinking about
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: killing it instead of being on your heels like trying
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: for them to score. It's two different mentality. Once they scored. Once,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: you know, maybe it's tougher to get back in that
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: mentality after, but we got to find a way. It's
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: I think that's the mindset is just go out there
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: and be proud to kill the play.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: And didn't do that. To know, you mentioned the mindset.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: The guys came in pretty determined. It looked like this
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: morning in practice, and then you know, the game started
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: off very well for you guys. You limited them in shots.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: I mean, where where do you Where do you go
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: from here? Now that it's.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: About it's about the culture. You know, it's you gotta
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter where you're at, it's uh, you just
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: gotta keep you know, going with your identity and uh.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: The most important part for me is to to stick together,
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: be together doing it as a as a united team.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: And we are that. You know, this group cares about
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: each other and that's the most important thing is to
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: keep fighting for it doesn't matter if standings are tougher
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that, doesn't matter. You just got to
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: keep doing the right things and do it for each other.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Here's where special teams made an impact. Winnipeg got their
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: first three goals via the man advantage, taking a three
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to one lead by twelve oh nine a period two.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Five on five the Crack and held them off the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: board all the way until the five fifty nine mark
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a period three, whereas the Kraken scored both their goals
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: at even strained courtesy Jordan Eberley and Jared mccamm. But
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: of course, special teams a big part of it, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: not just for the Crack and penalty kill side. They
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: failed to even draw a penalty at all for the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: entire game on Monday night. And here's reaction from Cracking
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: head coach Lane Lambert, including the goaltending situation where Philip
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Grubauer left midway did an injury for Joey to cord I.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Thought, five on five without first period was one of
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: our best periods we've had in a while, you know.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: And then you know, we we took a couple of penalties,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: We got a couple of bad breaks, you know, going
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: it off lingern stick, it's Lingard's foot goes right to Vallardi.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: You know, just kind of a little bit of anything
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: gang go wrong will go wrong in that, you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: in this situation right now. I didn't think we were
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: great in the second period. Uh you know, five on
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: five as much as we were in the first. We
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: gave up too many chances in the second and third period.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: But uh, you know we the special teams hurt us
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: tonight when.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: Things are going good. For your penalty kill, I mean,
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: what does that look like for not that.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: You know, I thought, uh, it looks like a more commitment.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: I thought we could have had at least tried to
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: get a shot block on their first goal that went
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: off the end wall, and I mean there's a balance
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: coming over top of the net, you know, like I said,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: just we're not getting the brakes. But you make your
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: own breaks too, you know. I thought our structure was
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: okay on their second goal. Again we don't make a play.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: And the third goal, our structure was alright on that
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: one as well, and it goes off Lingering and in
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: the net. So you know, these are just these are
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: just things that are are happening right now, and you
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: know we've got to we've got to stop the bleeding.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: You know, it's about for me, it's about pride right now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Our came out of the game and it looked like
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: he was shaking up with what what update? Do you
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: have any any update?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: What did you think about how cal Fleury and Vinceton
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: looked together? I thought, you know, I thought, uh, Fleur
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: played okay. I thought he started a little bit slow
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: and got better as a game went on, which is
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: what I expect, you know, from a guy who hasn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: played for a little bit. So I thought they were fine.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Mars and Riker Evans.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I thought that was good too. I you know, I
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: like Rikers game these days. I think he's competing and hard.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: I think he's skate. I think he's moving fox. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: think we're seeing some good strides from a young Riker Evans.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe, in a little bit more of a
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: personal note, your nephew Brad is seemingly developed into what
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: looks like an everyday nahl ort and a shot tonight
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: for a bowle.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: What have you seen from him?
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he's uh, you know, he's worked on
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: his game. He works on his game. You know, he's
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: got skill, he's got vision, you know. Obviously, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: we gave him a little too much base there to
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: take a shot tonight, and he made he made good
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: on it. Turning the page to tomorrow. Obviously, the guy's
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: just right back at it here. What needs to rebound
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: in the team's game, Well, we have to be ready
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: to play. It's back to back. We're gonna have to
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: be better on our special teams. And then when I
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: say special teams pending, Okay, we didn't get a power
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: play tonight, which is outrageous that you know, one power
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: playing the game, but we didn't. We have to find
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: a way to dig in. And you know, like I
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: said right now, you know, we have an ownership that
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: gives us everything that we need. We have a fan
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: base that is behind us all the way, you know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: through good and bad, you know, and we have to
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: find a way to you know, be professionals here and
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: show up and play to the best of our abilities,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: no excuses. And that's about personal.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Pres So what does a wait and see situation on
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: grow Bauer with the crack and carrying three goaltenders on
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: this trip Joey to court finishing Monday Night's game, giving
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: up two goals on twelve shots after grew Bauer had
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: fifteen saves on eighteen shots. Matt Murray is also a
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: backup option on the Kraken side, and should he play
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: in this evening's game, it would be his first time
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: in net since the fifteenth of November against San Jose,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and Murray looking to make his sixth appearance. For his
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: next time in net for this regular season against Minnesota,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the Kraken looking to salvage one win out of three
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: tries against the Wild again. This is their only trip
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: into the Twin Cities for this regular season. As Minnesota
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: trying to fight for home ice advantage in the opening
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and looking very much
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: like that it will be a first round matchup coming
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: their way against the Dallas Stars, the only question is
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: who's gonna have home ice advantage. Dallas right now owning
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: a two point edge over Minnesota for second place in
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the Central Division, they are just two points apart. This
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: matchup heavily favors Minnesota as a Krack and aiming for
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: their fifth win in fifteen tries against Minnesota, They are
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: looking to snap a four game winless skit against the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Wild and earn their first win in Minnesota since October
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: twelfth of twenty twenty four, when the krack In adds
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: the Wild in a five four shootout victory. Among those
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to watch out four, Ryan Hartman's got points in six
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: consecutive games, ten points in that span. Carill caprisod points
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: also in four straight games. He's got seven points in
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that span, and he leads a Wild right now with
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: eighty seven points and forty three goals. Matt Boldy second
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: behind him in the goal scoring department with forty one.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And also, by the way, there's Quinn Hughes that you
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: got to deal with seventy four points in seventy one
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: games that tied for fourth in scoring right now amongst
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: all NHL defensemen. Can this be the point throw where
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the krack and get back on the winning path with
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: six games left in the regular season. We'll talk more
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: about it at four thirty face offs at five from
