00:22And we are about set to drop the puck on this one.
00:30And there's the puck drop, enough talk. It's time to find out what this is all about.
00:37And that's just our player in front. Puck scooped up by Diamond.
00:42And now he moves it to McCann. Oh, and some smoke right away.
00:47Come on, the save. An incredible chance there.
00:50I can't believe he's been denied, James. He's typically so good in this one-on-one situation.
00:56Oh, how did he get a piece of that?
00:58A reminder, the team store always accessible to you online.
01:0224-7, 365 online.
01:05But don't forget, you can also visit their location in person at the arena.
01:09Open seven days a week. Check it out.
01:11Some very cool stuff to get your hands on these days.
01:14The Bears will go to work here in the offensive zone.
01:18Picked up along the wall by Carrick.
01:20Quick feed to Tucker.
01:24Along the half-wall with the puck. Here's a chance!
01:28Clock the side.
01:29Great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner, getting it out of danger.
01:38St. Petersburg's looking to break out at their own end.
01:40The Kraken again position off the wall.
01:44Puck picked up by Barron.
01:47Gaining momentum along the boards.
01:49Look out! Here they come on the attack!
01:52And he came up with a solid stop on that play.
01:56As a goaltender, sometimes you just have to react.
01:58You turn the brain off and you just allow your eyes and your body to do the work for you.
02:03And he does exactly that with a reactionary save.
02:05Here we go! Hot-man rush here!
02:10Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!
02:25They're jumping in a quick counterattack.
02:26And if it's exemplified here with numbers off of the rush.
02:29Catching their opponent, black-footed.
02:31And they're able to bury it.
02:45The Kraken have served up a quick goal here in the first.
02:49The crowd is loving it.
02:50They've gotta be loving it on the ice, too!
02:51But there's one way to make the road team uncomfortable or feel uneasy in a game, James,
02:55and that's getting on the board first and getting your fan base into the game.
02:59And now it's stuck.
03:03They fight for it along the boards.
03:06D'Angelo stuck to the side.
03:10Good reach to the sticks and not in the puck away.
03:16Palat's got it in the defensive end.
03:19Can't keep a hold of it after that hit.
03:22What a great read breaking up the pass.
03:27Passes it to Beneers.
03:29On the rush.
03:31He's a side.
03:32Stores him in front.
03:34Does a great job with some great pushes to get to the top of his crease and make the save
03:38from a high danger area.
03:40Montour has been lighting the lamp with this point streak.
03:42Playing so confident, he knows where he is on the ice.
03:45And it just seems that every time it makes its way towards the net, the puck's going in.
03:50St. Petersburg's got possession here in their own end.
03:53And now he passes up to Baskin.
03:58And a nice take away on the defensive end by Larson.
04:02St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
04:34They've got some momentum here!
04:35He's trying to get the puck out of his own end.
04:37And he gets the job done.
04:39Big thumbs up clearing that one.
04:41Here in the corner, he grabs the puck.
04:47Handles the puck down low.
04:51Thumbs up with a steal.
04:53St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
04:57Moves it to Burrows.
05:00Seattle's got the puck forehanded.
05:02That's a good footwork to kick it away.
05:05Handler to the offensive zone from the right side.
05:17D'Angelo's been lagging
05:19in terms of his offensive production.
05:20He's on a pointless streak right now.
05:22You can certainly sense the frustration in his game.
05:25Even his body language is a little bit off.
05:27He certainly needs to get one
05:28just to get his game back.
05:30Mosa quickly over to Evans.
05:33Trying to get it out of the wrong end.
05:36And a puck is cleared.
05:38Well, you can see the entire PK unit.
05:39Their heads are in a swivel.
05:40Straight line skating.
05:42And they're able to get that puck.
05:43And because they're looking and aware,
05:44they're able to find the right ice
05:45and get it 200 feet down.
05:47Quick feet down low.
05:51Here's a short pass to Burroughs.
05:54Oh, he'll feel that one.
05:55What a block.
05:56Well, he's firing all cylinders here,
05:58getting to that shot lane.
05:59He really anticipates the greatest threat on the ice.
06:01And he makes sure that he redirects that puck.
06:05Stenlitz crossed the line and came in the zone.
06:13St. Petersburg's game possession along the boards.
06:16Great save by the goaltender
06:18who was in the right place at the right time.
06:25Wright's ready for the draw
06:26as they continue to be shorthanded here.
06:33Seattle's got a hold of the puck.
06:35Deep inside the defensive end.
06:37Still trying to clear.
06:41Coffin is going to play.
06:42Tuck forward.
06:43Obey Cabell is on the attack
06:45from the offensive zone.
06:47Tuck clear from the defensive end.
06:50Patton's almost back on the ice.
06:54Takes the feed and center moves up ahead.
06:57There's a pass save as he kicks it away.
06:59And again, as unit comes up empty-handed,
07:02and they're still trailing by a goal.
07:05The next shift is critical, James.
07:07They had the opportunity on the power play
07:08to get back in it and get the equalizer.
07:10Now they're down by one,
07:12so they have to manage some energy here,
07:14and they have to dictate pace
07:16and get back in the game.
07:17And that cairns off upon him in traffic.
07:21And now he tries to get it across to McCann.
07:25Sends it in deep.
07:28An attempt to clear the puck
07:30from deep inside his own end.
07:32And manages to clear the zone.
07:35Puts it in deep.
07:37The Bears gain possession along the wall.
07:39And it's a quick pass to O'Brien.
07:43Avoids the coach yet.
07:45Quick stop by Murray.
07:47The game has changed so much.
07:48It's so fast, and the athletes are so strong.
07:51And the training that you have to undergo,
07:52whether it's in the gym or it's functional,
07:54you know that these guys are constantly working
07:57in small space areas, working on their games,
07:59working on their legs, their foundation.
08:01The lower half is so critical,
08:03and this is a perfect example.
08:07Passes out front.
08:08What a chance, but they can't connect.
08:12Wright stick handling in his own zone.
08:16Moves the puck below in the half wall.
08:19Gets in front of it for the block.
08:22Glenn Dennings picking up steam.
08:27Offside the call.
08:28We'll get a face-off coming up.
08:34St. Petersburg's got the lead and shots.
08:36Nevertheless, they still trail here in the first.
08:40Morrison's quick stick lands from the puck here at center.
08:44Wraps it into the offensive zone.
08:47The Bears have it against the wall.
08:49Working the puck deep inside their own end.
08:52And now he moves it quickly to Fabry.
08:57And he takes the dish.
09:01Scooped up along the wall by Pahal.
09:06Taken by Tucker.
09:08St. Petersburg's got him along the wall.
09:11Quick pass to Jones.
09:13Way too much congestion blocks that.
09:16Moves the pass in front.
09:17Oh, and they couldn't complete that.
09:22St. Petersburg's got possession at center.
09:27The Kraken have taken possession along the wall.
09:32Shot.
09:33Denied by the goaltender.
09:36On the attack along the boards.
09:39Rips it.
09:40Great glove save.
09:42And we get a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
09:49Here in the back half of this period.
09:511-0 the score.
09:57Morrison's won the draw here in the offensive zone.
10:00What a block as he lays out.
10:02And I'm sure he'll steal that one.
10:04Let's see what the officials are calling.
10:08Heads off to the blocks.
10:10Two minutes for tripping.
10:12When you're down a goal, you can't generate any offense if you're short-handed.
10:15They're going to have to be opportunistic, find a way to kill it off, and then reset the momentum.
10:27Seattle's sending their power play unit out for the first time tonight.
10:30Getting their first power play opportunity in the game.
10:33And here comes the top power play unit in the league.
10:35They're so dangerous and effective.
10:38It is extremely difficult to fend against them.
10:40St. Petersburg's got a chance to work the transition game now, short-handed.
10:45Works their cross to Evans.
10:47Too much traffic in the lane.
10:50The bracket, another man.
10:52Score!
10:53It's a power play goal!
10:55Well, I really like the deployment of this power play, James.
10:58And let's face it, it is a privilege to be on it.
11:00And there's internal competition.
11:02The best way to stay on it?
11:03Score goal!
11:05Well, this is definitely a goal that they'll want back, James.
11:08I mean, two huge things went wrong.
11:10You have a gaping mistake in terms of your coverage and also managing the pump.
11:14You've got to do both if you want to get the pump out of your zone.
11:31The bracket have doubled up their lead up by a pair now here in period number one.
11:35Well, they got the start that they wanted, and they've been like a wave of energy.
11:39They've gotten all their lines into the game, and I feel like they're contributing not all
11:42of them on the scoreboard, but in different ways.
11:45If they can complete this period with that two-ball lead, it's going to be a success,
11:49one that they can drive off of into the second.
11:51And that slides right out to center ice.
11:56The Kraken have taken over in the neutral zone.
11:59Pass across to Palat.
12:01That's the puck loose after a solid hit.
12:04Quick feed to Palat.
12:07And he takes the feed.
12:09Seattle's got the puck along the boards.
12:12There's a shot!
12:13There's a save!
12:15It's moved to the middle!
12:17And he shuts down a great scoring chance there!
12:20Desperately trying to get it out of the end.
12:25And they get the puck out of the zone.
12:27And done with authority as well, James.
12:29Just very aware of where everyone was on the ice and knowing that they had to get the clear.
12:35Takes it to the front!
12:37Oh, a clutch save!
12:40Brazix all over that shot makes an incredible save in getting to the top of the screens quickly,
12:45because that shot, it came fast and in a hurry from the slot.
13:08Late goings of this period, and it's a tune-up in hockey game.
13:17Seattle has won the draw, and they go to work.
13:19Center wins that for him clean.
13:21Everyone's ready for the puck.
13:22They know they're attacking now with the higher group that they're playing against.
13:26They clear the zone.
13:30Slides the puck over.
13:32St. Petersburg's got control of it now from their own end.
13:36Lozon's crossed the line and is on the attack now.
13:41Moose it to Sterling.
13:43Here's a shot, and that's deflected off someone in front.
13:49Duhayne's got the puck along the wing.
13:51St. Petersburg's got it in the neutral zone.
13:56Less than a minute to go here in the opening frame.
14:00Morrison's going to play it against the half wall.
14:05Slides it to the crease!
14:07Slides it in front!
14:09That's an incredible save, James.
14:11I mean, he's got presence in his crease, and he's also got a great glove hand,
14:14and he shows it right there with that save.
14:17Seattle's been playing in one direction all night, and that's towards the net.
14:21And they lead here late in the first.
14:24A power shirt!
14:26Turns it away!
14:27Moose it quickly over to Dunn.
14:34Slides it to Veneers.
14:36Terry Goddard taking away, and he comes off game!
14:40There's the end of period number one.
14:42Both teams will grab a quick breather.
14:44You can grab a hot dog, and we'll be back with second period action in moments.
14:47You can grab a hot dog, and we'll be back with second period action in moments.
14:50You can see the official website for details on upcoming concerts.
14:57Oh, we're right!
15:14Whoop melod bits, balls, babies.
15:19And when we take a long time casos, we 출발 pins big problema.
15:20We tried to buyとか ancora a constitucion into不変.
15:21Okay, guys.
15:22Number two of tools.
15:23Whoop man's ready?
15:23We watched it explain?
15:23Him sir?
15:24I woke up my beard.
15:25Come on, come on.
15:55Come on, come on.
16:25Come on.
16:55Come on.
17:43And the opening face up here in period number two is about set.
17:50The second frame is underway as the puck is dropped.
17:53All right, Pounder, put your analyst hat on here.
17:55We've played already a period.
17:57What do you make of this one?
17:59Brasic's performance was outstanding in the first 20 minutes.
18:01I mean, he got shells.
18:02He's got to be exhausted, James.
18:04His team needs to pick it up in front of him if they want to stay in this game.
18:09And that's hooked away.
18:12And that's hooked away.
18:36But he makes a key save right there.
18:38Really important that he keeps his head in focus in the game.
18:41Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
18:44And 2-0 is where we sit.
18:51Off the draw, they take possession.
18:54Seattle's got a horn to the puck.
18:56St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
19:00He's over.
19:01Stores up at the blocker.
19:03Quick pass to Stevenson.
19:06Loses his check.
19:07He's on a breakaway.
19:09Shakes off the covering.
19:13Slides it across.
19:15And the tucson gets away after a nice defensive deflection.
19:20And now it's Grant Wilkamp.
19:22Oh, he'll get all of it, but just enough to keep it out of the net.
19:27Quick feed to Palak.
19:29Tries to get it over to Obey-Paville.
19:32Purses it over.
19:34Oh, they telegraph the pass, and he kicks it off.
19:38Seattle's working hard in all areas of the ice.
19:40Defense is structured.
19:42It needs to happen in all three zones.
19:44When you're talking about stick positioning,
19:45you're doing a great job of taking away passes.
19:48Loses the coverage there.
19:50Sends it out front.
19:51And it goes off a stick and off target.
19:55And the puck stopper hangs on to get a breather here for the team.
20:02Seattle's been rewarded for putting pucks on net here early in the second.
20:09Glenn Denning's got the puck, and they'll go on the attack.
20:13Moves it to O'Brien.
20:15And here's a shot.
20:16And Stuckman's denied.
20:24Center's playing into the dot.
20:25There's a face-off ready to resume play.
20:27Let's go, Blackburn.
20:32Offenses don't face off, and he wins the draw.
20:37Here's a shot to rise among the play.
20:41And he takes the pass.
20:45Dishes it off.
20:47Feeds it over.
20:48And that shot gets caught in traffic.
20:51Down the right wing into the offensive zone.
20:56The Bears gain control of the puck against the wall.
21:00St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack.
21:03Takes it into the slot.
21:05Good use of the puck.
21:06Did not come off the puck.
21:08With the stop.
21:09Oh, they're doing it again.
21:11Delayed penalty looming.
21:14Great use of the stick here at Center Ice.
21:17There's the whistle.
21:18And here's the call.
21:20Best kids getting called for two minutes here by the officials.
21:23You can take the time and space away from your opponent.
21:26But not when they don't have the puck.
21:28You can't impede their forward movement.
21:29And that happens here.
21:30So he's going to the box.
21:38Well, with earlier success on the power play,
21:40I think they'll operate in the same fashion, James,
21:42in that 1-3-1 setup where they look to work through the flanks
21:46because you know they've got some lethal shooters on this team.
21:49Passes the puck over to Smith.
21:55Picked up along the boards by Kerry.
21:57And that's a smart heads-up play.
21:59But on the breakaway!
22:02And that looks to the side.
22:04Oh, there's another play!
22:06And this is a great play by the tender to anticipate
22:09and get across to make that save.
22:17Seattle's got the puck.
22:19Here they come on the attack.
22:21Sends it in front.
22:23Here's the shot.
22:25The Kraken have the puck on the attack.
22:27Big time blocker stopped by Mrazif.
22:30A timely save is everything to your team.
22:34And this goaltender, he bails his team out.
22:36Off a stick and they can't connect.
22:39Murray's got the puck and he's going to hang on.
22:44Just moments away from the resumption of this power play.
22:47They're ready to drop the puck here for this face-off.
22:53Puck has dropped and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
22:58Into the offensive end, right up the middle.
23:01Shot being stopped by the goaltender right in front.
23:05The goaltender is very aware of where the puck is in that one slot area
23:09and defends his crease by getting out, being aggressive,
23:12and taking away any of the net.
23:18O'Brien's ready for the draws.
23:19They will continue to try to kill off this penalty.
23:27And they take possession off the draw here at their own end.
23:30Tries to get it over to Pullock.
23:34St. Petersburg's on the attack.
23:37The Kraken have gained possession off the wall.
23:41Kudros lugging the puck.
23:43They go on the attack through center.
23:45All alone!
23:46To the out of the play!
23:48No!
23:49Oh, you don't practice that one in goalies just in strange.
23:51You just have to have fight and compete to get to that puck.
23:54He has all of it.
23:55He makes the save.
23:56Luce it quickly over to O'Brien.
23:59A head of steam now towards the front.
24:02The next line to the cracks!
24:04Stores!
24:06Off the post it is!
24:08Well, that's a real sneaky one.
24:09That pulled the goaltender, James.
24:11Not much room available, but that one?
24:13Perfectly executed.
24:14They bend, but they don't break here, James.
24:16This is a 200-foot play.
24:18When you take care of business in your own end,
24:20it ends up going the other way.
24:21It is something that coaches look for.
24:23How you defend, how you can turn pucks over and get going north.
24:27They capitalize, they execute, and they wind up on the score sheet.
24:39St. Petersburg has come to life here in the second after that goal.
24:43Yeah, there wasn't much to start the game, James,
24:45but halfway through the second, they found their beat,
24:47and they're drumming as they found a way to get to the back of the net.
24:51Real good opportunity there.
24:52Good shot selection as well.
24:53They haven't had many, but they were able to convert on that one.
24:57Here's a short pass to Montour.
25:00Flipped away by Glenn Denning.
25:02Both teams got to even strike it after giving up a shorthanded goal.
25:06It's an opportunity the power play unit would probably soon forget.
25:10After you give up a shorty on a power play,
25:13the next shift is critically important.
25:15Finding a way to get back and dictate pace.
25:18Coaching staff knows that they need some energy.
25:20This next shift is critical.
25:23The Kraken have the puck in the neutral zone.
25:27St. Petersburg's looking to break out at their own end.
25:30And he gives it over to Bastion.
25:33St. Petersburg's got the puck against the boards.
25:37I'm going to guess that he's going to look to drive the net
25:40and shoot the puck,
25:41hitting that he's one goal away from his next milestone.
25:43Picked off by the Nears.
25:46Seattle's been excellent tonight, James.
25:48They found ways to work hard on and off of the puck,
25:50and when they're away from it,
25:52they've really done a great job of being in good position
25:54to be able to take your lanes and angle,
25:56seams, you name it.
25:57Like, it has to translate to something.
25:59This is still a close game.
26:01Well, I'll tell you one thing about this crowd tonight.
26:03They have been electric.
26:05It's got to be fun for both sides here.
26:07Yeah, any time you're playing in front of a huge crowd,
26:09there's a ton of passion and energy in the building.
26:12You feel it, and you play with that energy.
26:13It's a great fun, and I know as a former athlete
26:16how much I enjoyed it.
26:18Seattle's got to leave the offensive zone.
26:20Play is called for offside.
26:27More than half the period has expired.
26:30Seattle's got a slim lead.
26:32They lead it 2-1.
26:37And they take control of the puck here in the neutral zone.
26:40Moves it over to Fabry.
26:45Coming to the front of the net.
26:47And we are tied.
26:50New game here, Pounder.
26:52Oh, yeah, it's a new game, James.
26:53But I really like the pushback to get the equalizer,
26:56and now it's what they do with that momentum.
26:58This next shift is critical.
27:00You can certainly see the fight in the goaltender here
27:03trying to battle to find and track the puck here, James.
27:06Lose sight of it for a second with the screen in front,
27:07and it winds up in behind him.
27:09Goal!
27:20Center's gliding up to the face-off.
27:22Dots here.
27:29And off the draw, they pick the puck.
27:32Here's the pass down goal.
27:35The Kraken had gained control of the puck along the way.
27:38Good side!
27:45Well, that's how you get a puck, James.
27:47I mean, you recognize the timing it takes
27:49to meet your opponent right at the right time,
27:52and I mean, that's just an explosive hit.
27:53Gets the job done.
28:01Puck forward!
28:05Off the face-off, they take the puck.
28:08Seattle's got to hold a bit against the wall.
28:11Slides it diagonally to Dunn.
28:14Here they come on the attack.
28:16Here's a chance!
28:18Stopped by the goaltender.
28:20Jones takes the puck
28:22and tries to make a diagonal pass to Pahal.
28:27Oh, look at this.
28:28Here they come.
28:29They've got numbers.
28:30Block the email to stop the goal.
28:32I think he did, James.
28:34I mean, you've got to protect the house,
28:35especially when it's a great threat shot like Dan,
28:37and he finds a way to get in front of that and quick.
28:40Here he is on the backhand!
28:42Goal-tower stop there!
28:43That's a great save,
28:44but the goaltender had to get out to the top of his face,
28:47take away all the ice,
28:48and make himself as big as possible.
28:50Look at this.
28:51That's the bodies here on the attack.
28:53There's the whistle.
28:54We'll get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
29:00Past the halfway mark of this period,
29:02it's all tied up.
29:08Seattle's going to start with the puck in their own end.
29:11Takes the feed.
29:13St. Petersburg's got possession here in the neutral zone.
29:17Takes the shot.
29:19St. Petersburg's got the puck.
29:45St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
29:48Quick shot!
29:49Oh, he got all of that!
29:50What a save by Morazic!
29:52That's a fantastic save by the goaltender,
29:55but his team has to do a better job
29:56of protecting the middle of the ice.
29:58Those high-danger scoring chances eventually go in.
30:01Here in the late goings of the period,
30:03the next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
30:07And off the draw, they win possession.
30:10St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
30:15Cup-grabbed by O'Brien.
30:16And they'll cover it up, forcing a stoppage in play.
30:24Centers glide into the dots.
30:26We're ready to get things back going again.
30:32Glenn Dennings won the faceoff,
30:34and now let's see what they can do.
30:36Kick-pass to O'Brien.
30:38Near the point.
30:43St. Petersburg's got possession here in the offensive zone.
30:48Back to the Panthers.
30:50And puts it anywhere but the way he wanted it to go.
30:53And there'll be some frustration with that one.
30:55He got a lot that he got some time-time real estate
30:57to do the work and effort to get there.
30:59Scores!
31:01There it is!
31:01The go-ahead goal!
31:03And how good does that feel?
31:05You can see the selling.
31:06The energy is certainly there,
31:08and now it's about dictating the pace going forward.
31:11Next shift, critically important.
31:14Coaches love these kind of goals, James.
31:16When you have sustained offensive pressure,
31:17you're wearing your opponent down consistently,
31:20whether it's the cycle,
31:21or whether you're creating motion and lanes to the net.
31:24Everything they did was right here.
31:25You can feel this one coming.
31:27They finally convert on their chances.
31:32St. Petersburg's gone up by one here late in period number two.
31:35Now to see if they can build on this when they get to the third.
31:38Well, they'll want to pounce right off this faceoff, James.
31:41It had a ton of urgency in the last few shifts,
31:43and they found a way to get the go-ahead goal here.
31:45They're going to need to really work hard to hold the lead,
31:48because you know that their opponent,
31:49they're going to have a bit of urgency here.
31:51Oh, he got rocked!
31:53He just right into his own bench!
31:55He's getting it for a message to get out of here.
31:57The only good thing is,
31:58it's his own teammates that can pick him up.
32:01Passes it in for it!
32:03He scores!
32:04What an opportunity!
32:06And delivers!
32:13Well, this is an incredibly intelligent shot, James.
32:16It's recognized that there's net front presence
32:18in front of the goaltender,
32:19who's dropping to a butterfly
32:20to try and take away as much net as possible.
32:23And it finds its way through.
32:36St. Petersburg's delivered an absolute dagger here late in period number two,
32:41doubling up their lead.
32:41Well, you can hear and feel the energy just elevate after that goal, James.
32:46Everyone kind of standing up.
32:47The body language speaks for itself.
32:49Now it's about igniting another fire and trying to get another one.
32:53Pull-off!
32:53Pull-off!
32:54He's got the puck through the neutral zone!
32:58And loses possession after a solid hit!
33:02Farms one!
33:03Makes the save!
33:05Quick feed to the way from below!
33:08And he's it up from the corner!
33:09And he fights off another save!
33:12Man, is he ever quick on his feed, anticipating the play, excellent reflexes.
33:16He's saving his team right now.
33:18Dumps it in!
33:19St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall!
33:23In all alone!
33:25He scores!
33:27Oh, wow!
33:28What a finish!
33:29Well, I love that he used his speed and didn't slow down, James,
33:32and that it's all about patience and composure,
33:34outweating the goaltender, finding the room and burying it.
33:38What a counterattack and brilliant speed to get on his horse
33:42and get in on the breakaway, James,
33:44and that momentum it carries right through on his shot.
33:47Lee puts it home.
34:01St. Petersburg's firepower in full effect tonight,
34:05as they continue to dominate late in period number two.
34:08And this is a collective and cohesive effort as well.
34:10And you know in the intermission, there's going to be a lot of chatter
34:13and some relaxation laughs in that dressing room,
34:16because they have this lead, they have this game,
34:19they just want to come out and continue to play the way they started it.
34:23There's the horn bringing period number two to an end.
34:2640 minutes down, 20 to go.
34:29Third period action is coming up.
34:32aisk that he got a part now and...
34:35What is this?
34:36Keep your eyes to the sky...
34:38...to the light and rise!
34:40And rise...
34:41And rise...
34:42And rise...
34:43And rise...
34:52And rise...
34:53And rise...
34:55And rise...
38:28They've dropped the puck here in the third lane.
38:30It's going to blow out thus far.
38:32Let's see if there's any sort of response.
38:34Well, Pounder, we've played more than 30 minutes now in this one.
38:37How do you view things?
38:39Seattle's got to have a fresh start in this third period, James.
38:41They haven't been urgent, and they've been chasing the entire game, and I could tell that right
38:44from puck drop in the first period.
38:46They weren't urgent off of the faceoff.
38:48They weren't where they needed to be, and it's looked like that all game long.
38:51They need to change it now if they want to get back in this one.
38:54Bastion's been dancing with the puck.
38:55Bastion's been dancing with the puck on the puck on the puck.
38:56I really feel like he's been a driver of play.
38:59He's had multiple good looks on net and finally capitalizes.
39:03Love that he didn't get frustrated.
39:05Love that he continued to get to the pockets on the ice, and he gets rewarded for it.
39:17St. Petersburg's been a dominant force offensively, plenty of quality scoring opportunities,
39:23and they lead it big time early in the third.
39:27Seattle's won the faceoff, and that's a great heads-up play by Barron.
39:36Murray's going to hang on for a whistle.
39:42It's been a difference maker tonight here, James, and if you look at the sequence of saves,
39:46making the ones that you have to, right?
39:48The timeliness of it, finding ways to keep the puck out, and that just infuses confidence
39:53throughout the entire group, and you can often see it in the next shift after a big save.
40:06We're still in the early stages of this period, it's a 5-2 hockey game.
40:15St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
40:18Cutting off loose after that hit.
40:21The Kraken have taken possession along the wall.
40:24Here's a chance, throws it in front, and it carries off a twig in front of the net.
40:30Can't get a hold of that pass.
40:32Motion to Tucker.
40:34From the top of the offensive zone here.
40:36Stuck by the goaltender, he got a little piece of that one.
40:40Murray's able to put that puck to the corner, and it really keeps the puck out of harm's way.
40:44No second shot opportunity.
40:47From one point man to another.
40:50Murray got a T-sevict to keep it out.
40:52Looks to make a play over to McCann.
40:57Paco's got it along the wing.
40:59That's blood by Barazic.
41:02Covers it up.
41:03We'll get a stoppage in play.
41:09St. Petersburg's done a wonderful job putting a lot of pucks on net, and they lead it early in this
41:14third period.
41:17Seattle's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
41:20That's blood by Barazic.
41:23Goaltender covers it up.
41:24We get a whistle to slow things down.
41:28The Bears have built themselves a sizable lead here early in this third period.
41:37St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck.
41:39Passes over to Kapanen.
41:42St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
41:47Moves it quickly over to Burroughs.
41:50Shots him down.
41:52Shakes off the defender with some nifty moves.
41:56Slips the pass.
41:57It's right.
41:58Oh, he comes up with a stop.
42:00And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
42:07Still plenty of time left in this frame.
42:10St. Petersburg's got a three-goal lead here.
42:13They're up 5-2.
42:16Seattle's got it, and they're on the attack.
42:18Stops them with a gun.
42:20And they'll get a breather as the goaltender covers it up.
42:27Officials have got both teams ready,
42:29and it looks like play is set to resume here.
42:35And off the draw, they'll take possession.
42:39Takes the feed.
42:44On the attack along the boards.
42:46Here's a scimery pass.
42:48And that's intercepted.
42:50Oh, he caught him.
42:52That's a thunderous hit along the boards.
42:54It's bone-crushing James.
42:56You can feel that one right from your toes
42:57all the way up to your shoulders.
42:59Talk about finishing a check.
43:01And the goaltender grabs that one for a whistle
43:04to try to slow things down here.
43:07Oh, that's an absolutely massive hit, James.
43:09These are the types of hits
43:10that can change the landscape of the game.
43:12The power of the legs right through the body.
43:15Lack of awareness there on the puck carrier.
43:19St. Petersburg's played arguably
43:21their most complete game of the season
43:24based on how they have delivered shots on net
43:27and lead here big time in the third.
43:38Here's a short pass to O'Brien.
43:41Oh!
43:42That's what the power is saying!
43:44Grab along the board by Glendang.
43:47Shot and pass saved by Murray.
43:50Quick pass to Alexiak.
43:53Tip-toes around the coat check.
43:55Trey Reid with the stick.
43:57Quick pass across to O'Brien.
44:00They've got the defense outnumbered.
44:03Slides the puck down low.
44:05Quick feed down low.
44:07The Kraken have the puck against the blower.
44:11Beautiful read in the defensive end by Katton.
44:15Gaines the zone through the middle.
44:17Plires it on net.
44:18Oh, he's just got enough of that to keep it out.
44:23Nice stick work to knock the puck loose.
44:27Quick feed to D'Angelo.
44:29Slides the puck across to Stanley.
44:35Seattle's got it in their own zone.
44:38Looks to get the puck over to Larson.
44:43Goaltender covers up and will get a face-off.
44:50We haven't even hit the midway mark of the period.
44:53No shortage of offense.
44:55Most of it from one end.
44:56It's 5-2.
44:59McCann's got it.
45:00Now they'll look to see what they can do with it offensively.
45:02And it's turn to side.
45:05Gaines hang out of the puck after taking it off.
45:09Discuss it to Dunn.
45:11Cucks send over to Kappo.
45:16Picked up along the wall by Stevenson.
45:20Puck scooped up by Stedlin.
45:23Looking to make something happen along the boards.
45:27That's intercepted.
45:30Puck picked up by McCann.
45:32Here they come on the rush.
45:35Fires it.
45:36Swords on the rebound.
45:49What a beautiful play as they catch their opponent flat-footed on transition.
45:53They create the numerical advantage.
45:55Odd Man Rush perfectly executed.
45:57Speed, puck movement, and of course finish.
46:12The Kraken have to keep pushing here, Cheryl.
46:14It's just got to be as elementary as that, right?
46:16It has to be.
46:17And they have to make puck plays.
46:18Really push the pace.
46:19Push the puck forward.
46:21Not go east-west.
46:22Not delay and go back.
46:23It's all about attack right now.
46:25Moves it to Montour.
46:27All the attack into the opposite.
46:28It's a man right up the gut.
46:30And gets it in deep in the opposite corner.
46:33The Bulls will play it in their own end.
46:36And now he angles it across to Kapanen.
46:40Seattle's getting possession along the boards.
46:44Rice kicks the defender.
46:45He's on a breakaway.
46:48Taken along the wall by Coombrough.
46:51Stucked by the goaltender.
46:53Saved made by the goalie.
46:55Morazic's got the puck.
46:56He's going to hang on for a whistle and slow things down.
46:59Well, he's been shelled, hasn't he, James?
47:01He's weathered every storm that's been thrown at him.
47:03And now he elects to pounce on this puck.
47:05It's a nice, safe play.
47:06He anticipates well.
47:07And he holds on for the whistle.
47:09Trying to get the puck out of his own end.
47:14Icing is the call.
47:16We'll get a face-off at the other end.
47:21More than half the frame has been played here.
47:24Seattle's still down by two goals in this one.
47:29St. Petersburg's won the face-off deep in their own end.
47:32Huge win by the center to give his team an opportunity
47:34to get out of the zone after a critical icing.
47:37Takes a shot.
47:38And too much traffic in front blocks that one.
47:42Here's a chance to get it out of their own end.
47:44And he moves the puck across the blue line
47:47out of the defensive zone.
47:49Angles it over to Hackenpott.
47:51And now he moves it to Duhayne.
47:55Morrison's got the puck.
47:58Takes the puck.
47:59Takes a shot.
48:00And there's the save.
48:03The key to being a great goaltender
48:04is not giving up second-shot opportunities,
48:06and it's playing the rebounds to the corner.
48:08He does an excellent job here.
48:10The cracker with the puck in the road end.
48:14St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
48:17Puts it on there and makes the save.
48:21Nears the blue line and looks to set up at the point.
48:24And that got caught up in traffic and goes off a stick.
48:28A ton of goals on the board tonight,
48:31and you know that both teams are looking to pad their stats.
48:34A lot of players in on the action.
48:36That's got to give you confidence to make you feel good.
48:38Gives him a choke with that hit.
48:42Seattle's got it against the boards.
48:44Fires into the offensive zone.
48:47Tries to feed it over to Barrett.
48:49Up along the wing.
48:52And he slides it quickly.
48:54Big time hit against the wall there.
48:56Wow, that was a tough one, man.
48:58That was thunderous, and it even broke a pain in the glass.
49:00There's going to be a stoppage in play here.
49:02Wow, James.
49:03I mean, not everyone can elicit a thunderous hit like that.
49:06I mean, he just clobbered his opponent.
49:13A big face-off here inside the offensive end.
49:21Patton's won the face-off.
49:24Patton's more in the puck through his own zone.
49:27Along the right wing, they enter the attacking area.
49:30St. Petersburg's got control of it now from their own end.
49:35Patton's got the puck in his own zone.
49:36And he denies that great opportunity there.
49:41Moose it quickly over to Struble.
49:46Patton's got the puck in his own zone.
49:50Patton's came in the line and on the attack.
49:55From the left side, moves that up ahead.
49:59Receives the pass.
50:01Puts it over.
50:03Stoles another play.
50:05Slides it up front.
50:08They gain the offensive zone from the middle.
50:11Works the across to the near.
50:13And some smart heads off defensive play by Obey Kubel.
50:20Takes the feed from the left side.
50:23Veneers has been so impressed with these past two games, James.
50:26And he's picked up right where he left off.
50:27He had that overtime winner that just gave him a ton of confidence.
50:30You can tell that he's just buzzing with it tonight.
50:33He gets on the board.
50:34And you've got to figure there might be another one in there.
50:37Oh, great move to sidestep the check.
50:39Oh, look at this.
50:42Sends a pass over.
50:43And that's blocked in traffic.
50:46Here's a shot.
50:47Gets a glove on it to make the save.
50:51Reflows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
50:54A critical face-off looks here.
50:57And the extra attacker is on the ice, James.
50:59So much pressure on the center to win this draw.
51:06And they win the draw on their own end.
51:09Now a quick pass to Baskin.
51:11Gaining momentum in the offensive end.
51:14Chance and an empty netter here.
51:16Seattle's got a hold of it along the wall.
51:19Slides a diagonal leap to right.
51:23And he sidesteps the check there.
51:25Trying to throw the puck from his own end.
51:28Stooped up along the wall by O'Brien.
51:31The Pierce will play it from the defensive zone.
51:34Right towards the empty net.
51:36Score!
51:37And there's Klink and Klink.
51:38There's the hat-trick.
51:40His first of the season.
51:41Wow, the puck's finding him.
51:42He's on it.
51:43He's in it.
51:43He's all around it.
51:44And he's finishing it, James.
51:46That's a great night for him.
51:52You can see the body language on them, James.
51:54The dying moments of the game.
51:55And they're able to get the empty net goal.
51:57Everyone can take a deep breath here, as that should do it.
52:02Setters get set as they're ready to drop the puck again.
52:09Glenn Dennings won the draw.
52:12Handles the puck.
52:14Off the left wing and into center.
52:16Denied by Murray.
52:19Inside his own end.
52:20Moves the puck.
52:21Gets it over to Veneers.
52:25And that's a smart heads-up play by O'Brien.
52:28Quick pass across to Lozad.
52:31Puck moved over to O'Brien.
52:35Takes the pass.
52:36Takes the pass.
52:37Tying seconds and he makes the save.
52:40And this one comes to an end.
52:44Bastian's hat trick leads the way en route to victory tonight.
52:47Yeah, he got himself in good position, didn't he?
52:49He's a pure goal scorer and he didn't disappoint tonight.
52:57That'll do it from tonight's holiday edition.
53:00We wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas.
53:02And we'll see you after the holidays.
53:31We'll see you after the holidays.
54:02We'll see you after the holidays.
54:12We'll see you after the holidays.
54:12Pay attention.
