Erica L. Ayala dives into the Seattle Kraken's training camp, spotlighting new head coach Lane Lambert's defensive strategy and an exclusive chat with prospect Oscar Molgaard. Lambert's focus? Protecting the middle ice and creating a solid goalie environment. "Protecting the middle of the ice has always been critical for me," Lambert emphasizes.

Molgaard, fresh from European pro hockey, shares his excitement for his first Kraken camp and Olympic dreams. "It's an honor to represent your country... you're always going to give it 110%," he says, reflecting on his Team Denmark experiences.

Ayala's enthusiasm for Lambert's approach is palpable: "Lane Lambert is maybe my favorite head coach in Seattle Kraken history." She ponders the team's potential: "Can you be fast? Can you play with an aggressive forecheck? And can you have some fun while also remaining disciplined within what your goals and what your system is? That's the question mark."

The episode wraps with a nod to the Seattle Storm's clutch playoff win against the Las Vegas Aces, setting the stage for a thrilling Game 3. All gas, no breaks as Kraken hockey season approaches!
