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 on Monday 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.
