Lane Lambert expects to lead the Kraken to the playoffs
SEATTLE — Lane Lambert said he feels no pressure to turn the Seattle Kraken into a playoff contender. But his own expectation is to do exactly that. Lambert was introduced as the Kraken's coach at the team's practice facility. He was hired on May 29 after spending last season as an associate head coach with Toronto. The Maple Leafs won 52 games and the Atlantic Division title, but were eliminated in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals by Florida, which is currently playing in the Stanley Cup Final. He will become the third head coach in the history of the Kraken, who are entering their fifth season and have made the playoffs just once in their previous four. 'I have an expectation of myself and of my role and of my abilities,' the 60-year-old Lambert said. 'You start on Day 1 and it's a process, it's a journey. If you do the right things through that journey and do the right things every day and look to get better every day and stick with the process, the results will take care of themselves.' Lambert takes over for Dan Bylsma, who was fired on April 21 after one season. Seattle was well outside the playoff picture by the time of the February break for the 4 Nations Face-off and finished 35-41-6 (76 points). That was 20 points below the West's final wild-card spot and five fewer than the Kraken's 81 points in 2023-24. 'It became very evident that Lane presented the attributes we were looking for,' general manager Jason Botterill said. 'The combination of presence and knowledge to work with veteran players, and would also be dedicated to interact with young players.' Seattle ranked in the bottom third of the league on the power play (23rd), faceoff winning percentage (24th) and average shots per game (25th). It was 21st on the penalty kill, an area in which Lambert helped the Leafs improve from 23rd to fourth. 'There are priorities in certain areas, but everything has to be addressed,' Lambert said. 'You can't build Rome in a day, and that's the whole process from Day 1. You start with the process, start demanding, and you start instilling your systems, your structure, your details. But definitely, our special teams have to be better. We'll better in our defensive zone. I know we will be. So that would be the start and the focus.' Lambert has had NHL coaching jobs since 2011. His only head coaching experience came with the New York Islanders, beginning at the start of the 2022-23 season and ending when he was fired in January 2024. In his only full season, the Islanders made the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round. 'You go through an experience like that, you get let go, and you have a lot of time to reflect,' he said. 'If you don't have an ego, you can say, 'Gee, I'd do this differently or that differently. Or I'd do this or that the same.' There's certain little things I'll look at and look into changing.' He was an assistant with Nashville from 2011-14, then with Washington from 2014-18, with the Capitals winning the Stanley Cup in 2018. The Islanders hired him as associate head coach prior to 2018-19. The teams he has worked for have made the playoffs 10 times. Lambert inherits a roster that includes veterans Jaden Schwartz (a team-high 26 goals last season), Jared McCann (22 goals and a team-leading 61 points), Eeli Tolvanen (23 goals) and Chandler Stephenson (38 assists). The Kraken also have highly regarded young talent such as 2023 Rookie of the Year Matty Beniers (20 goals, 23 assists) and Shane Wright (19 goals, 25 assists). 'When you look at the team and the balance, we have great talent,' Lambert said. 'We have veteran players. The non-negotiables are that we have to play the right way — that's the formula.'

NHL Insider Links Panthers to Mitch Marner in Bold Pre-Free Agency Move
NHL Insider Links Panthers to Mitch Marner in Bold Pre-Free Agency Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Speculation continues to swirl around the future of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner. An unexpected report brought a new possible destination to the table. Advertisement The 28-year-old winger is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and multiple sources have indicated that Toronto is weighing scenarios to recoup value before his departure. Among the options being discussed is a sign-and-trade arrangement, in which the Maple Leafs would sign Marner to an eight-year contract and immediately flip him to a team of his choosing. According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, this outcome is unlikely but not off the table. A "plausible" scenario, in Pagnotta's words, would involve Toronto trading Marner's negotiating rights before July 1 to give another team a head start in talks. On Saturday, Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects fueled Pagnotta's beliefs with a report confirming there's "real smoke" about the Florida Panthers' interest in Marner. Advertisement Robinson reported that Florida is "gearing up to make a run" at Marner, even before he reaches free agency. "There's real smoke that the Florida Panthers could be gearing up to make a run at Marner," Robinson wrote. "Word is that Toronto has opened the door to a sign-and-trade scenario, where they ink Marner to a max-term extension (eight years) and then flip him to recoup some level of value." Toronto, having Marner's negotiating rights, is the only franchise that can add an extra year to the winger's extension, making it eight years long instead of the seven-year deal all other 31 franchises can offer him. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner (16) and Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk (19) exchange words after a 2023 Stanley Cup Playoff Hamilton-Imagn Images Marner, who posted a career-high 102 points this past season, is expected to reach the market to evaluate all options on the table, and he's not publicly committed to either leaving or returning to Toronto. Advertisement Pagnotta noted that an extension is far less likely than with fellow veteran forward and pending free agent John Tavares. Robinson confirm that belief in his report. "The Leafs know that Marner is all but assured to leave," Robinson wrote. "For the acquiring team, moving a draft pick to avoid a bidding war is a very palatable cost. Whether Marner is keen for that route is another thing." Regarding other potential offers, Robinson quoted one source close to the matter, saying, 'That Marner to LA report is pure rubbish,' with regards to the Los Angeles Kings being one of the most-linked teams to the Maple Leafs star.

Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play?
Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play after their early exit from the 2025 NBA Playoffs? The Celtics were sent fishing by the New York Knicks in their Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series with their Atlantic Division rival, and Boston's over-reliance on shots from beyond the arc were arguably a significant factor in what went wrong for the Celtics. To be sure, injuries to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and other key players compounded the matter. But at least some of the blame should fall on a version of Mazzulla ball that was not as complete as it was when the Celtics won the title in 2024. Advertisement The folks behind the "98.5 The Sports Hub" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Felger and Mazz" show that takes a closer look at such a possibility. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say! This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Celtics play?
