Speaker 1 (00:00):
And the cracking power play.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Lord, this is the krak Postgame Show, brought to you
by Toyota of Olympia. Now for an in depth look
at your Kraken Hockey. It's the post game. I'm the
Global Credit Union Kraken Audio Network.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
For the final time tonight, welcome back inside a climate
plaid arena alongside Al Kaniski. I am eward, fits you
Krack and lose a tight one here tonight, three to
two to the Dallas Star. Seattle down two to one
coming into period three. Eighteen seconds in, Vince Dunn gets
his fourth of the season, and then Vadislav colia Chaunak

(00:40):
gives the Stars the lead for good with his first
of the year fourteen sixteen into the third.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
But again, very much like.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
The Islander game, I cannot find a whole lot to
really hang my head on for this game except Seattle
zero for five with four shots on the power play tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Yeah, I mean yo shot Dallas in the game twenty
eight twenty one in the third period nine to two,
Seattle's favor You held Jason robertson pointless, You held rantn
in pointless. You know the big game in terms of
playing defense. Unfortunately a bit of a scene. I shot
through the through the wickets there in the end to

(01:25):
get the winning goal, but looked like this one might
be going to overtime again.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
And listen, I mean, for all of.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
The all of the offensive chats and comments that we
have about Seattle not able to score and get enough goals,
I think tonight, you know, when you've got twenty nine,
twenty eight shots on goal for Seattle, a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think the mentality of Jared mccannon coming.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Back and a lot of guys getting more funneling more
pucks than that. For the second game in a row
against Seattle, Casey the smith has had to be near perfect,
and he.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Was here this evening.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
I kept everything in front of him, didn't really have
any situations where he had some pucks flutter through that
didn't you know, may have made their way to the
back of the debt, but got cleared.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Everything was in front of him.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
He played solid, He covered it up when he needed to,
cracking through a lot of a lot of rubber.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
His wife just couldn't come up with that. Tian Gold.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
Would you like about Jared McCann's game, his first game
back after a seventeen game absence.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well, I have to say I was a little concerned
when he got clipped there at the start of the game.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
I didn't see what.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Shift, I didn't see what the initial situation was, but
he went right to the bench and I thought, let's
hope it's something minor, and the hockey stick of the
face is considered minor. Even though it drew some blood,
it wasn't intentional, but it did get the crack in
four minutes on the power play right at the start.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Of this game.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Trying to find a word on Jayden Schwartz. With the
holiday tomorrow and practice on Friday, probably won't have an
update until then, but he left late in the second
period did not return for the third with what they're called.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
A lower body injury.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
So hopefully it is no more than just needed the
rest of this game off and we'll see him back
on Saturday afternoon for the Edmonton Oilers.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Three to two crack and fall to Dallas.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Al Over to you for your key takeaways and Mamakay's three.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Stars absolutely well. Key takeaways for me tonight, I'll start
with the bad and then with the good. The bad
was what you mentioned earlier, Oh for five on the
power play, you gotta find them back of the net
at least once on a on a five opportunity night
on the extra man. But three good solid takeaways for
me as well. Out shooting Dallas twenty twenty one nine
to two in that third period. You help Jason Robertson,

(03:35):
Miko Rantnan and Wyatt Johnston pointless in this game, which
is huge from a defensive standpoint, and the Krack and
d men who historically have contributed about thirty percent of
the points on this team, both of them getting the
goals tonight Vince Dunn and Brandon Montour with the two tallies,
So big goals for those two tonight. Three stars brought

(03:56):
to you by Mama Kay. Third star was Vince Dunne.
He had a goal and two shots on goal as
well as three block shots for dinner. Second star goes
to repe Hints he had a goal tonight, and the
first star goes to Dallas's Tyler Sagan two assists plus three.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I'm gonna end this night on a positive note, fright,
ye please do historically and Thanksgiving Dinner should happen after
Oh sorry, was it something else?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yes? Okay, now, thanks Eving dinner. It's it's breakfast, lunch
and dinner.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
It's right.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
It's runner Brunner, Brunner, not brunch runner.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Historically, and when I say historically, I mean over the
last roughly twenty to twenty five years, seventy seven percent
of teams who are in a playoff spot by American
Thanksgiving go on to make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Seventy seven percent of teams.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Cracking right now currently tied for second place with twenty
eight points with the La Kings in the Pacific Division,
one point back of Anaheim and one point up on
the Vegas Golden Knights.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
So partner cracking our in a playoff spot at American Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Stop the cowt buddy.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
We got some extra hockey in April, but lots of
hockey left to play.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
That'll do it here for us up here in the booth.
Mike Benton coming up next. Everyone, Please have a very
happy and safe Thanksgiving. Tonight is a massive party night.
If you're gonna go out, please grab an uber, grab
a cab, walk, get a scooter.

nothing like good eating on Thanksgiving. End of story. Thank you,
great call, fellows, appreciate you and for the crack and
hate so close, but the safety make a big difference,
like the Dallas game winning goal and the krack, and
also hoping they're not taking a big loss here with

(06:07):
Jayden swarts out for the rest of this game in
period two and they miss weight. Now one more game

Well as far as this saving the Kraken giving Dallas
all they could handle, and it took up until Thanksgiving

(09:33):
here for an opposing team to hand the Kraken just
their second loss in regulation on home ice here for
the regular season. That's how good this start has been.
But the saving the Cracken again reminded big games like
these and his tough opponents. It can go down to
the thinnest of margins, and Dallas squeaks one out this evening,
three to your final score over the Kraken at Climate

(09:54):
Pledgerina on a game winning goal by Vladislav Kolia Chonak
at fourteen sixteen of three. That puts the Kraken got
eleven six and six twenty eight points and still three
points clear of the cut line in the Western Conference.
Heading into Thanksgiving Dallas with the win improving to fifteen
five and four, they have thirty four points and the

(10:17):
Krakens still winless, now eight games in a row against
the Stars head to head time now for the highlights
in this seatle Kraken Drive to the Nets scoring recap
is brought to you for the all new Chevy tracks
now bigger and Boulder tracks. Is a perfect assist for
all of life's adventures. The Kraken early momentum but coming
up short on a four minute power play and Dallas

(10:39):
capitalizing after that with rope Hens front of the net
putting Dallas up one nothing five point fifty two into
period one. He got his seventh goal of the season
Alex Petrovic. Jamie Benn as well with the assist on
the play on Petrovic's points shot that got through and
got a piece of hints along the way. But how

(10:59):
soon would it take for the Kraken to give this
response for down the slot for a Montor shot.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Wos puck came out in the can fire, just riding
in the gone.

Speaker 14 (11:13):
Brandon Montour a sharp angle shot from the right corner
goal line.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
It goes off of Casey the Smith and in the
sea level crack at ha tied the game at won
ten fifty four left the period number one well.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
It starts with a shot down the middle from a
defenseman pitching in. The puck goes from.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
The corner of Montour is the guy that jumps on
that loose pucking rather than looking for the past, He's
gonna shooter his mentality, he puts it back on. It
bounces off Casey the Smith. This game's tied at one.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Well and in the game time goal, who are you
gonna call on? As Brandon Montour and guess what he
scores in his one hundredth game in a Kraken Jersey tonight,
fifth goal on the season, nine oh six in the
period one, capitalizing on a goal that embodies what Lane
Lambert wants. That shot volu meaning shoot from anywhere, and
Montour certainly picked his spot nearly from behind the goal line,

(12:06):
but he caught Casey to Smith still getting slow over
to the near side post banked to Opta Smith and
in Shane Wright Berkeley Catton as well with the assist
to tie the game at one, and the Krack and
restoring balance and order through twenty minutes of play. But
after an early jolt in period two, the Stars would
come right back and take a two to one lead.

(12:27):
Essa Lindell the left post got his third goal of
the season at six thirteen, and with that it would
give the Stars a two to one edge that nearly
at points of that second period, the Crack and just
trying to find a way to hang on. Ritz Kobe
and Sagan, by the way, had the assists on the play,
and the Crack had known that they were certainly down
but not out. Knew that no shot was a bad shot,

(12:50):
especially on a play like this. Opening shift of period three.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Seattle from their own zone here come to crack it
through center right. Vince Dun's got speed done, left size
sitts stop.

Speaker 15 (13:08):
Fits done over the left sideline, walks in tom of
the circle, Hey twisted arrestor, and by Casey the Smith,
we're tied two two nineteen forty two.

Speaker 16 (13:20):
Left here the third fits tun picked my puck up
in the hash marks in front of joint the court,
got a full head of steam coming down that middle
right side of the neutral zone, cut to his left
as a left shot, he beefed to Smith over the.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Club head too. Two.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
For as good as Casey de Smith was playing in
this game, that goal certainly was surprising, and Vince Dunn
shocking the Stars with his fourth goal the season right
over the glove of the Smith. Just eighteen seconds into
period three, Jared McCann welcome back, first game back from injury,
picks up and assist on the play, giving Vince Dunn
point number two hundred and ninety nine in his NHL career,

(13:59):
and the game tied up at two. Anyone's contest at
that point in period three, where you figure the Kraken
once again just beginning to warm up in a period
where they're often at their best. But as we said
that Thinness the margins defining this game and how would
Dallas use that to their advantage? Later in period three.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Val Forsagin left side drops it off for a shot
and they score Flatislav collia Chunak from the left wing
pings it off the pipe head in by Joey the
cord Cracke with some work to do down three to two.

Speaker 7 (14:35):
So after the Ben's done goal then plus also a
power player, Dallas had too many men on the ice
the krack and certainly had their chances, but those went
by the wayside, giving Dallas they open door and Vladislav
kolia Chonak on a shot that sailed through a pretty
harmless screen, but the cord of the pier didn't see
it go right by him for kolia Chak's first goal
in a Stars jersey and his first goal since last

(14:58):
December fourteen, sixteen time of period three, Tyler Sagan, Kyleo
Kappo Bianco had the assist on the play the crack
and then pulling Joey to cor to make it six
on five but coming up short. Also included within that
time frame one more penalty to Dallas Alex Petrovic for tripping.
So certainly special teams making a big play here in

(15:19):
a game like this where the Kraken fall three to
two to the Dallas Stars. Your final totals here shots
on net in favor of the Kraken. There was progress
in this area twenty eight twenty one over the Stars.
They out shot them nine to two in period three,
but once again Casey de Smithed looking very solid. He
was tough as far as a challenge. He got the

(15:39):
win with twenty six saves on twenty eight shots. Joey
Decord takes a loss eighteen saves on twenty one shots,
though look pretty solid for much of this evening, and
to Smith improving his record now to five to one
and two on the season, to Cord falling now to
seven four and four. Power plays wise, Dallas goeszo for one,
the Kraken zero for five and has ever pointed out

(16:01):
as well just four shots on the power play, including
a point where they misfired on a four minute powerplay
early in period one. That was certainly a big difference
here in this game. Time now for the cors Lights
shillless moments, So the game cracking fans, you could win
your chance to sit in the cors Light Silver seats.

cors Light juice, Chill celebrate responsibly. It seemed to be
at night here where the Kraken were setting up a
big one for Jared McCann, first game back in since October,
then drew a high sticking penalty, missing an action for
about a minute, but came back out for a four
minute power play for the Kraken, came up empty, and

(16:46):
then after that, how does Dallas take advantage?

Speaker 6 (16:50):
Dallas on the face off shot right side tipped in,
they score Alex Petrovic a right point shot, rope Hints
in front reader Rex to puck home and the Dallas Stars,
with fourteen oh eight to.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Play in the period, take a one nothing lead.

Speaker 7 (17:06):
So you talk about a five long five play where
you want to set momentum up in your favor. The
Kraken did just that and then had a great chance
to go up one nothing but came up empty. And
then Dallas winning an end zone face off used quite
a momentum swing as far as a one eighty and
that was rope Hints who had the goal seventh in
the year from Alex Petrovic to make it a one
nothing lead. Certainly a turning point in that first period

(17:28):
after the krackend came up empty on a four minute
power play in period two, Dallas eventually taken a lead
and also finding ways to turn traffic right toward the
front of the krack of net. And now Wouldjoey the
Cord respond.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Whyatt Johnston?

Speaker 3 (17:41):
They're ramsing it in front angle, get it sealed off
by bond Tour, now ramsing it back.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
In front Johnston point Blake shot hit a massive save
by Joey.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
The card rend and said, just with a perfect shot
right between the hashmarks.

Speaker 7 (17:55):
Oh my goodness, one of eight saves the court had
in period two, had of the crack and found a
way to get out of that. Second period tie things
up and then take a lead. You're talking about the
Cord maybe being one of the three stars of this game.
But Dallas got the eventual winner and with that the
Cracking fall three to two to Dallas in matchup two
for this season. It brings us down to the big

I felt like I got my legs, you know, towards
the end of the first there, and just kind of
kept going with it.

Speaker 7 (24:26):
So, yeah, good.

Speaker 23 (24:28):
There's been a lot of talk about shot generation or
lack thereof. I mean, how did you feel like it
was going out there for the first two bit?

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Looked like you guys were pretty agress. Yeah, yeah, I
thought it was good.

Speaker 12 (24:37):
You know, next thing is kind of just hitting the net,
I feel like, and you know, we uh we know
that they're a big chop blocking team, and you know
it's it's tough to get bucks to the net and
hit the net in that instance, so you know, we
can work as forwards kind of give our d some
sticks off to the side there and kind of make
it easier that way.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Sued you looking at the power plane A nine and
five chance for you guys, not able to find something there?

Speaker 5 (24:59):
How How how rough was that one for you guys?

Speaker 12 (25:01):
It's frustrating, you know, we uh so we had some
good shots. We had some good chances obviously. You know,
Maddie made a help of passing me out front of
the net there, and it just kind of, you know,
just kind of rolled on me. Last second and you
know put.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
It over the net.

Speaker 12 (25:11):
So you know it's uh, it's tough because you know
you want to, you know, make a difference for your team.
You know, I feel like the power play kind of
you know, it wasn't wasn't great tonight, but put it
behind us and move forward.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
How'd you feel like the legs held up all things
considered for Yeah?

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Good.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
You know, I've been doing a lot of back skating
with the coaches, so felt pretty good. It's a it's
nice having a puck in front of it too.

Speaker 20 (25:33):
Starting the game off with the Berkeley and Shane on
your line, how do you feel like they were working
off you and you know, just in general the player
a line tonight.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
Yeah, it was good.

Speaker 12 (25:40):
I felt like their confidence grew as we got going.
You know you could see them making plays, not just
kind of you know, getting rid of the pox quickly.
So you know, I'm moving forward here, just gonna keep
working with them, and I'm just gonna try to be
like their safety blanket as muchs I can.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
Jared, the team hasn't obviously, like goals haven't come super easy,
like you're a goal scorer. I mean, how frustrating has
it been to sit out and watch. Yeah, yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 12 (26:02):
You want to contribute, you want to you want to
be a different speaker, and you know, missing games is
it's not fun. He know, weighs on you mentally, and
I'm just happy to back.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Thanks here.

Speaker 7 (26:11):
Yeah, that's Jared mccannon meeting with the media downstairs at
Climbing Pledge Arena again. Mike Benton with you back acrossover
at Thomas Watchbar. And you figure for a game like this,
he was gonna come out like he was shot out
of a canon. Nearly scored first few minutes as well,
but he took a high stick right in the face
and as he said, all of a sudden felt like
that his tute was stuck in his throat. Poor guy,

(26:32):
but good to see him get back out there and
comes back here with an assists also plus two here
for this evening, and the Kraken looking pretty surep at
five on five and it's a very tough and rugged
Dallas team, but when you can't score in the power play,
things are certainly magnified. And the Kraken coming up empty
this evening, zero for five and the man advantage with
four shots on net and that played a big role
here in a crack In three to two defeat to

(26:54):
the Dallas Stars. We'll come back after this with more.

are a playoff team going to bed on the eve Of.

(39:25):
Thanksgiving that's big four, nine four or five. One tell
us right now where you feel the crack and are
at with their, game because there are many ways to
go about this four, nine four or five One Texas
right now on THE kjr text, LINE i do want
to settle one, Dispute alconiski joining us right, now you
and Andrews, HURST i swear it's almost kind of like

(39:45):
The Loony tunes card, too where it's like rabbit, season duck,
season rabbit, season duck. Season can we just agree that
you know food is. Food i'll enjoy it, Whenever BUT i, mean,
YEAH i kind of agreed that sixty's a pretty good
time to sit.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
Down, yes It's thanksgiving, dinner Not thanksgiving, lunch Not thanksgiving,
Brunch thanksgiving.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Dinner eat it at a proper.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
Time i'm getting, very very hungry all of a sudden,
Again i'm trying to eyeball and Put i'm trying to
put away what looks like a scrumptuous dish of a hummus.
Platter it might be the healthiest THING i eat for
the next probably forty eight. Hours and then all of a,
sudden get my brain on to thinking what's going down
here for tomorrow With? Thanksgiving, steak mac and, cheese you name.

(40:30):
It we're steak family here for this, year and there's
a big story behind. That but we're going to be
out a time BEFORE i get to the very end of.

Speaker 5 (40:36):
It ain't nothing wrong with.

Speaker 7 (40:37):
That, no It's thanksgiving dinner. Again four nine four five One.
Texas here on the kjir text, line where you think
that the krack inter at with their game heading Into,
thanksgiving they are going to be a playoff. Team and
that's a big thing because, again the narrative here for
this season was they missed it by a mile last,
year so what are you going to do with virtually

(40:58):
the same. Roster, well they're knocking down every narrative here
at this, point and while some metrics aren't on their,
side they're trailing at this. Point what you can't ignore
is how good goaltending has been and under the hood as,
well five on five play getting, better penalty kill getting.
Better but again, tonight two goals on the. Board you're

(41:19):
asking for a lot out of your defense and to
play perfect hockey when matters certainly mean the.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
Most, WELL i think that you, know you bring In Freddie,
goodrou you bring In mason marchmentt and you, know obviously
you bring In Lane lambert as, well and you look
at the levers of offense versus. Defense obviously you're trying
to raise offense and raise defense as, well and that
you're you're allowing fewer. GOALS i think that this, organization
Specifically Lane lambert recognized that that was the bigger area

(41:46):
that he could affect with his defensive. Structure not to
say that he didn't want goals, either but he felt
that that was the biggest opportunity to have an impact
on how this team plays each and every. Night and
it's shown over the first twenty two games that if
they can teams any team for that, matter and tonight
we saw A cup contender in The Dallas stars be
kept three. Goals if they can keep those teams for

(42:08):
three goals or, less they're gonna be in every. Game
and once again tonight they were in that.

Speaker 7 (42:12):
GAME i mentioned back in the pregame, show this is
as healthiest as we have seen the crack and roster
really Minus. Coppococko, yeah ever since the. BEGINNING i MEAN
i would say even since training. Camp so maybe you're
getting a better hint of what this team could be
all about in a very very tough game Against. Dallas,
now when you play The Dallas, stars it's like going
into the. Jungle there's just not much room to, operate.

(42:33):
Period but yet you saw hints of their game where you,
figure if they can reproduce a time after time after
time at five on, five they're gonna be in.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Business.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Yeah, Absolutely and you know the THOUGHT i had was
going into the third period that they were gonna need
a greasy goal to get back in this and Their
Vince done goes down and snipes one top shelve One
casey The. Smith, okay, fine we'll take. That but at
that point The cracker were tied With philadelphia for the
for the least number of goals scored in the third
period so far this.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
YEAR i think they.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
Were they came into the game at, fifteen so you
felt confident that The krack and tied this up at.
Two they don't get scored on very often the. Third
they're going to take this one all the way through
to either win it in regulation or maybe in, overtime
or at least get a point out of.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
It so a bit of a heartbreaker to.

Speaker 4 (43:18):
See that goal go in by late in the.

Speaker 7 (43:23):
Third there are encouraging parts of this. Game there are
tough the stomach parts of this. Game i'll begin with the.
Former jared mccannon look, good especially off the jump where
he said he even came back from what felt like
a tooth was lodging his throat after that high Stick Berkeley,
cat AND i thought looked. Good maybe his best game
under the hood as an nhller for this. Season joey

(43:43):
The cord looked good and you had sustain play Without Jayden.
Schwartz Now here comes a tough part of. This Jaden
schwartz was out after period. Two that's a big. Loss
we don't know how long it's going to. Be you're
hoping that it's not long. Term and then you get
here to the power play zero for, five just four
shots on net and you squander a four minute power

(44:04):
play in period. One those are big moments that you
had to.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Seize, yeah the power play, was you, know the big
thing that stood out to me as far as, CHALLENGES
i always do a list of positives and challenges after the,
game and obviously you lost the, game so you could
include that as. Well but out Shooting dallas twenty eight
to twenty one in the game overall nine to two
in the third period mic like they The kraken were
pushing hard for that winning. Goal keeping these three Guys
Jason roberts And Hawaii, Johnston miko Rant and off the

(44:29):
score sheet was huge for The kraken getting goals scoring
from their. Defenseman usually about thirty percent of their points
come from their defenseman over the course of the, season
but they got both goals From montour And done, tonight
out Hitting dallas twenty three seventeen and even in the
faceoff dot they were forty nine, percent which you know
you might, think, well that's less than.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
Fifty that's not.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Good they've been hovering kind of in the low forties
to high thirties for a lot of games, recently so
an uptick there in the. Dot but, yeah that power
play going zero for, five that was not.

Speaker 7 (44:57):
Helpful we're gonna get to some reaction right now again
on THE kjr text line texas four nine four or
five to one in what you think your views are
for The kraken and their game are at right? Now
because they are a playoff team Att, thanksgiving it is
very much a basic checkpoint to gauge the likelihood of
a playoff. Team again four nine four or five, One
and again there are ways that you can certainly look

(45:17):
at it in different. Directions the five zero three suggests
The kraken had some lucky, moments some strong, moments and
some messy. Moments they lack consistency in the offensive, zone
maybe disappointing that they didn't score during any of those
power plays as. Well that from the five oho, THREE
i offer this here for the power play in that
you Get jared mccamnon back that's. Good how much Can coppocco?

(45:40):
Help he is so good as a body with screens and.
Deflections but how much more do you take this power
play next? Level perhaps when you can add in a
big name. Talent now who's out there? Confirmed we don't know,
yet so you have to work here from. Within BUT
i look at this maybe here from two, schools the
thought of the power play out and you can agree.
Disagree for The, kraken you had some lanes open and

(46:04):
maybe puck movement a bit too sluggish when those lanes were.
There but also you have to give a Credit dallas
with their penalty, kill the way that they can check
and they can disrupt. Plays they're good at.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
It, yeah they're really good At you watch how they
attack the puck carrier before the puck gets. There you
know you, Move you move from that hot high. Spot
Vince dunn usually plays that inside the blue, line and
you see him slide it down as that puck is.
Moving you see The dallas player attacking that puck. Carrier
it gives you just a moment to make a. Decision
AM i shooting in my passing Who i'm, passing WHOM
i passing? To And obviously you're trying to maintain control

(46:36):
or get scoring. Chances so if you're not, shooting you've
got to make a good. Pass and when you're getting
attacked like, that Like dallas does and like the good
penalty killers, do it makes, heart makes it hard on
your on your on your power.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Play but.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
It comes down to do you have the right? Talent
do you have the right guys in?

Speaker 5 (46:53):
There?

Speaker 4 (46:53):
YES i think there's talent up, there BUT i think
that this team healthy can be a lot better on
the power play they have.

Speaker 7 (47:00):
Been i've had this question thrown at me a few.
Times what's your view as far as the one defense
been four forward set up and using done on one
unit montor on the.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
Other, WELL i like.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
It if they're, MOVING i think if they're, static, uh
their their their power play all of a sudden becomes
easy to. Defend if they're, moving if they're, adjusting if
they're if they're if they're if they're switching, positions if
they're rolling off each.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Other.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Uh then as as a defender that that's on the penalty,
kill it's hard to keep track of where guys are
if they're static and they're just moving the puck GROUND
i Know Vince dun's always at the top of the.

Speaker 5 (47:31):
BLUE i know he's going to be. THERE i don't
have to look at.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
Them but all of a, sudden when you get that,
motional just like in, basketball and you get that offensive,
moving it becomes harder to defend.

Speaker 7 (47:39):
THEM i recall earlier sharing this with a, colleague and
it seems as if anything stationary Against, dallas it's almost
a kiss of. Death BUT i, mean it really is
a general line of thought for the power, play the
more stationary the horsot that you're certainly going to. Be
we get one as well here as far as a
reaction from the four to two five saying Thankful jared

(48:00):
McCann's back and ready, here but the wisher For december
a stronger power play zero for five certainly shows that
a little bit more work is certainly. Needed we get
one here from the two oh six AND i think
a good food for thought, question and this is a
good one as well for newer hockey fans to understand
as far as when to do this here question From
jackson and Linn wood first, off suggesting that the crack

(48:23):
and have to pull the goalie sooner than what we,
did it could have had maybe a full two minute
six on, four which could have been the shot in
the arm here for a limping power, play and the
thought of being, conservative there is folly in. IT a
two goal loss in regulation is worth as much more
than a one goal. Loss So jackson's thought was be
aggressive that from the two oh.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Six, YEAH i think it's a fine. Line And, jackson
you're not right and thinking that. Way, heck if you
thought you could defend or get that tying, goal you'd
pull the goaltender with five minutes. Left but when you're
playing elite teams Like, dallas who have a lot of
shooters out there on the, ice you're trying to balance.
That how much time do we think that we can
control the, puck keep it away From dallas and not

(49:04):
let them score it on our goals so that we
can go out and score The tian. Goal and you
saw there during that little less than two minutes of empty,
net they had a couple of pucks that were fired
down to the other. End Vince dunn grabbed up or
jumped up and grabbed. One there was one that ended
up in an icy and eventually one of those are
going to find the back of the net if you
give them too much. Time so it's finding that sweet,
spot AND i think against the top teams in this,

(49:26):
league when you're down by one like, that two minutes
maybe two and a half is probably about.

Speaker 7 (49:30):
Right we're gonna hear From Lane lambert pretty soon and
perhaps get an update or something of that effect here
With Jayden, schwartz and you hope that it's not going
to be long term because arguably he's YOUR mvp for
twenty five percent at this point here of this. Season
but he went down, awkwardly would not return after the
second period lower body, injury and for the look of,
it it seemed as if he was tied up With

(49:51):
ladislavcollia at shonok at the front of The Dallas stars
net and it may have been his right leg that
got twisted in. There so beyond, that it's all. Speculation
But Jayden schwartz has been so good for this team
from the get, go the way that he can help
transport the, puck make smart, decisions and of course there's
this play front of the.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Net, YEAH i mean not connecting the situation to the
outcome For Jaden, schwartz but if you've never ice skated,
before as slippery as that ice, is as well as
those skates. Glide if you dig in with that, blade
it catches a rut and you get spun around battling
with somebody. Else you can tear a ligament very, easily
and it happens a lot in THE, nhl happens a
lot in hockey across across all. Ages so it's just

(50:30):
it's it's it's, bigger stronger guys that are doing. It
and you, Know Jaden schwartz is one of these guys
where he's always first on the ice and he self
admittedly will SAY i gotta get this old body warmed,
up and he takes a little bit extra time so
hopefully he's able to bounce back quickly from whatever's ail on.

Speaker 7 (50:46):
Them one THOUGHT i have before we go to break.
Here we're seeing an uptick of injuries all across THE.
Nhl and if you're thinking of, why, WELL i mean
it's happening all across the. BOARD i mean we've already
come across some teams where it's a glorified mapunit right
now on their. Roster five to, six maybe even sometimes
seven guys are on. Ir so my point is. This

(51:07):
it goes back to the way that The kracking are
playing with a simple. Structure tight checking grinds players right
down into the, ice because when you have teams who
are much more offensively aligned as far as goals, scoring
and they're missing those big, components if you can play
that kind of, game or you're bringing them back down
to maybe the, basics that's Advantage cracking right, there based

(51:29):
on their. System.

Speaker 4 (51:29):
YEAH i, mean you're battling in the trenches every. Night
it's not an easy. Game it's a violent game in,
fact and so you know you do expect. Injuries why
they're up this, SEASON i don't, know but this style
that the crack and, play you're not seeing guys go out.

Speaker 7 (51:42):
FIRST i have one, theory but let.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
ME i, thought you're not seeing guys go out from blocking,
shots which is a very important part Of Lane lambert's defensive.
Structure yes it, Hurts, yes you see them go off
and wins and go off the, ice but rarely is
it just a result of. That it's you something along the,
boards a body check as we saw With Jayden, schwartz

(52:04):
and it was in front of the. Net the puck
wasn't anywhere near, Him SO i don't think it's because
of the. Structure but having said, that this team needs
to be able to win in the trenches and so
there are a lot of physical battles going on every.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
Night across the. League my. Theory condensed, Schedule, Yeah, Olympics.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Yeah that factors into. It not as much time to
recover as ever it fits. You likes to say rest
is a, weapon. Yep and anytime you get a couple
of days, off it's it's valuable to let your body.
Rest and fortunately for The, crack they've got a little
bit of a soft spot in their schedule right now
for about the next week or so weeks ten, days

(52:41):
but then it picks up after that and it's every
other Day.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
Crack and we'll get their rest here for tomorrow day
off here for the team and hoping That Jayden schwartz
is not going to be out for.

Speaker 1 (52:50):

at The thanksgiving, checkpoint but falling a tight one and
a tough one here three two to The Dallas. Stars
Mike benton Al caneski with you back across At tom's.
Watchbar back across we go to Climbate Pledge. Arena head
Coach Lane lambert meeting right now with the.

Speaker 23 (55:29):
Media, Lane, uh it looked like your guys got the
message about taking. Shots they seem to be taking a
lot of shots pretty, aggressively at least in the first
two periods and then the latter half of that. Game i'm,
wondering you, know the result, aside what what what can
you take away from, this let's, say going for and

(55:49):
is there stuff you can build off from what you
saw them doing?

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Offensively?

Speaker 31 (55:54):
YEAH i thought we were better on our for check you,
know and created some, turnovers created some opportunity munities which
led to shots on. Goal you, KNOW i thought we
Hounded bucks. Better there wasn't a lot of space out
there for either, team but, certainly you, know for the most,
PART i thought we defended. Well they had a couple
of near. Missus they got a good hockey team over,
there they got some world class talent and you, know

(56:16):
it comes down to you, know game, inches and we
end up on the wrong side.

Speaker 23 (56:22):
Tonight how much to having McCann back help with the
energy of the. Offense let's, say when you when you
could get your? Chances, YEAH i mean he had a
couple of good. CHANCES i thought he looked.

Speaker 31 (56:32):
Good you, know he hasn't played for a long, time
and he hasn't played much hockey this year at, All
so you, KNOW i think he's going to help us for.
Sure and you know it's it's, unfortunate LIKE i say
that we couldn't couldn't put another one past to Smith.

Speaker 26 (56:52):
Lane let's not lose sight of the most important, thing
which is that you're still.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Alive how?

Speaker 26 (56:58):
Close how many Times i'm saying your coaching career has
a puck come as close As joey's laser beam did
to you in the first?

Speaker 31 (57:06):
PERIOD a couple of times for. Sure that one was
labeled right for my. Head AND i Think montour saved.
Me he hit me on the bench In New york last.
Game montour did So i've got the black and blue
mark to show for. It but he saved me.

Speaker 26 (57:21):
Tonight did he pull you out of the way or
were you looking at.

Speaker 7 (57:25):
It, oh you just got.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
It he just got in the. Way oh the puck got.

Speaker 26 (57:29):
Him, okay does that count as a block?

Speaker 31 (57:32):
SHOT i don't think they, do but it does in my.

Speaker 20 (57:35):
Mind, leanne what's the Gene Schwartz's satisfy left and was ruled.

Speaker 31 (57:41):
Out, yeah well he didn't. Return he's being. EVALUATED i don't.
KNOW i haven't talked to the medical team, yet but
the fact he didn't return isn't a great.

Speaker 20 (57:49):
Sign and in what ways do you feel like the
power play could HAVE i guess done more to get
one in the.

Speaker 24 (57:56):
Back of the.

Speaker 31 (57:57):
Night, WELL i MEAN i thought we entry, WISE i
didn't think we did a great. Job we, struggled you, know.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
To enter the.

Speaker 31 (58:03):
Zone you, know give them, credit they're a big. Team
they got long guys and big. Defensemen but you, know, we,
uh you, know we we could have done a better job,
there AND i certainly thought that we you, know from
a battle, standpoint you, know we could have won more,
battles created some, retrievals and got more, shots and you

(58:23):
know it it was A it was needed tonight and
it's been good for, us and it's been there when
we've needed it in the. Past tonight wasn't the.

Speaker 7 (58:34):
Night and as that Coach Lane lambert meeting with the.
Media so you're hoping for the best With Jaden, schwartz
who again left in period two lower body, injury would
not return as. Well and as he, said game of
benches a crack and power. Play Capt, dallas you think
about it here in the balance of this. ONE a
very tough team to play. Against. Dan that shot By

(58:54):
Vladislavcolia chona got through a, screen a pretty harmless, one
but sailed right Past showy to core three to two
stars over The. Kraken it is your final score and
that's how it ends. Sometimes and as far as the
game of, Inches Mike betton Al kaniski with. You to
wrap this, up a brief look At edmonton and remember
the game you played in the Old highlights For children

(59:15):
magazine Called What's wrong With This? Picture The Edmonton oilers
are an embodiment of. That right now they are an absolute.
Mess ten ten and, five twenty five Points and who'd
have thunk two months ago at this point of the
season it'd be tied for fifth in the division With San.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Jose, yeah hard to. Believe this team is. Got they,
got they have all the talent you can argue about.
Goaltending so The cows come. Home they've got all the
talent they need to be a playoff. TEAM i think
they've just got to figure it.

Speaker 7 (59:43):
Out they've lost three games at, home last, two of,
course twice in lop sided. Fashion around that they it
took a five to four overtime win to beat The
Columbus Blue. Jackets but last night To, dallas losing a
Three dallas was, good but as, Equally edmonton was on
the struggle bus and once Again Stewart skinnery yanked after

(01:00:04):
one period of. Play means goaltending is very much a
big part of. This who the cracking get we'll See
it wouldn't be surprising if It's Calvin. Picker but as
of right, now eight six oh that is their. Team
say percentage get this al lowest through twenty five games
of a season since they're four into THE nhl back
in nineteen seventy nine point. Eighty my, GOODNESS.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
I tell, you if you're the cracking coaching staff and
you're looking at all that stuff and you're ripping up
the page and throw it in the garbage because you
don't want that, stuff get into your head as you
prepare to face this team On. Saturday you want to
be thinking about them as the team that went to
The Stanley Cup finals, twice.

Speaker 7 (01:00:40):
And you with, that you're thinking about matchups The cotta
mc david And leon dry settle because they have a
single handley at times hurt The kracking they absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
Haven't LIKE i, said that's where that talent comes. In
so you've got to play them based on the talent
they have not with their record shows.

Speaker 7 (01:00:55):
It's going to be very very tight as far as
two matchups nearly back to be as far as in
as many weeks as, well The crack and Facing edmonton
