Overview
- After a 5-3 home loss to the Avalanche, only team website editor Bob Condor was permitted to question head coach Lane Lambert in a 57-second session marked by brief answers.
- The Kraken communications department acknowledged the approach was a mistake, telling reporters the decision was theirs and that Lambert was not aware of the altered plan.
- Team PR staff spent the next day contacting media to apologize and offer context, saying the intent was to support the coach rather than exclude independent questions.
- Local reporters and fans criticized the arrangement as a poor look that undercut accountability during a rough stretch.
- The defeat was Seattle’s ninth in 10 games, and the organization posted a short video of Lambert’s remarks on its official account.
