Vince Dunn on Accountability and Team Cohesion

When the media highlight the team’s success under Lambert, the head coach emphasizes the group’s commitment to structure and consistency. Defender Vince Dunn recently shared his thoughts on what sets this Kraken roster apart.

"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 added that communication and clarity have improved significantly, allowing players to perform with confidence and purpose.

“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?’”

The team’s unity and mutual trust are evident as the Kraken continue to refine their identity under Lambert’s leadership.
