Accountability and Team Commitment
When discussing the Kraken’s strong start under Lane Lambert, the coach credits the players for fully committing to the system. Defenseman Vince Dunn recently shared his thoughts on what sets this season’s team apart from previous years.
“I like the accountability most of all. From top to bottom, we're all in. No one is getting freebies throughout the year. All of the guys are being held accountable, myself included, all the way to guys who are coming in for their first [NHL] year. The expectations are always there — no excuses about road trips, travel, or anything else.”
Dunn appreciates the clarity in team roles and the consistency in practice and games.
“There's just no questions. I've never been in a game or practice this year where I'm like, ‘What are we doing here?’”
Predictability in execution has become a hallmark of this Kraken squad, contributing to their steady performance.
