The 25 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: kid is quite the hot hot talking point these days, 26 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: isn't he? Holy Cow? Where did that come from? Ten 27 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: starts at age twenty two, eleven touchdowns, twelve interceptions, the 28 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,919 Speaker 1: arch per attempt six point seven, ran for four touchdowns 29 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: in about three and a half runs a game, and 30 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: ran four on average one point two first downs per game. 31 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: That is the statistical science of it all with JJ McCarthy, 32 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: that is the statistical game starting wherewithal of Minnesota Vikings 33 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: quarterback JJ McCarthy. There are some questions where do you 34 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: sit with the by faith portion of the equation involving 35 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy off what you off, what you feel, and 36 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: how much you care? Is it by faith we need 37 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: to move forward with JJ McCarthy, or is it by sight? 38 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: I know what I saw and don't really know what 39 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: to think, or maybe by the root of stiff nakedness. 40 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: Stiff nakedness, you stiff necks are They're the being stubborn, obstinate, 41 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: and unyielding with arrogant pride, refusing to change an opinion 42 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: formulated a couple of drafts. Ago, I want to read 43 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: all of that again. Where do you sit with the 44 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: by faith portion of the JJ McCarthy equation off what 45 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: you feel and how much you care? Is it by 46 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: faith we need to move forward? We absolutely need to 47 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: move forward with JJ McCarthy, continue to raise him as 48 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: a starter of a National Football League team? Or is 49 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: it by sight I know what I saw, don't really 50 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: know what to think? Or maybe by stiff nakedness? Are 51 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: there those being stubborn, obstinate, and unyielding with arragon pride 52 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: refusing to change an opinion formulated a couple of drafts? 53 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Ago? 54 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: Talkbacks? Maybe we got those spots in the ten? Don't 55 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: we talkbacks? Indeed? I mean maybe? I mean there are 56 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: three options there, So flying back yesterday and going to 57 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: Covenant catching up Holy Cow get quite the hot talking point. 58 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: So please ponder. Here are a few things I found 59 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: during just a brief sweep in Covenant catch up like fashion. Right, 60 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: So Jason locknfora is now with something called sports Boom. 61 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: Not saying it's a kick in the career. I'm just 62 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: saying is with something called sports Boom, and everybody knows 63 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: his name. Probably makes sense to splash for the Sports 64 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Boom group group, given it's not an NFL network or 65 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: an entity. I don't know more than two percent of 66 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: football fans have heard of. Nevertheless, Jason Wrights. They can 67 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: say what they want publicly, but they have some serious 68 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: questions about McCarthy. Said one NFL general manager who was 69 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 1: exploring myriad quarterback options. Quote, Look, they're signing somebody else 70 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: to push him, and it's not just going to be 71 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: some stiff on a veteran minimum contract. So this general 72 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: manager is looking for a veteran quarterback, decided to draw 73 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: up a line in the sand. Look what they're signing 74 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: somebody else to push him, and it's not just going 75 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: to be some stiff on a veteran minimum contract. Always 76 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: these days, honey, honey, signing someone else to push him. 77 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: As part of the anonymity that goes into that general manager, 78 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 1: I didn't say current or former. No One NFL general 79 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: manager that's current current stay in your lane, not recently 80 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: former okay one NFL general manager who refused to put 81 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: his name next to it. My fault always super special, 82 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: all right? Three two? So the context, the layering of 83 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: the context of the anonymity from something called sports Boom, 84 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: This is great, Honestly, what more could you want when 85 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: it comes to confirmation or when it comes to steam 86 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: sports Boom cool? Anyway, signing someone else to push him 87 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: him being JJ McCarthy. I believe that I believe that 88 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: nine to noon is a joint operation. I would venture 89 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: to say, signing someone to push McCarthy. We believe that yes, fair, 90 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: fair fair, They can say what they want publicly, but 91 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: they have some serious questions about McCarthy. To find serious 92 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: mister Kerrr and anonymous GM who supposedly is looking for 93 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback defined serious? What sports Boom and how 94 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: did Jason lock On four end up there? Onward? So 95 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: with everything that in Covenant catching up like fashion that 96 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: I saw yesterday in a very short amount of time, 97 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: there was a lot. So I handpicked another one. Oh 98 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: Joe a underscore NFL. Joe a underscore NFL never heard 99 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: of him until about three forty five Eastern yesterday. He's 100 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: in a National Football League film watcher and is taking 101 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: umbrage with McCarthy related terrorism, mostly originating with the nameless 102 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: Faceless crowd. He likes to argue with the nameless faceless crowd. 103 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: So my man showed every McCarthy throw twenty yards or 104 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: more for the last season. I mean, whether you agree 105 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: with it or not, well, that's covenant collapse like work 106 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: ethic right there. I mean to serve, and then he 107 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: wrote this, lots of tweens in the comments exposing themselves 108 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: as casuals. McCarthy ranks second in the National Football League 109 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: in big time throw rate big time throws rate in 110 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five per Nordo's favorite Pro Football Focus. Joe 111 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: a Underscore NFL noted NFL film watcher taking umbridge with 112 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: the nameless faceless group, lots of tweens in the comments 113 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: exposing themselves as casuals. McCarthy ranks second in the NFL 114 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: and Big Time throws rate in twenty twenty five per 115 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. Per migrating, he had one of the 116 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: best deep ball accuracy rates, elite throw rates, and the 117 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: very best great throw rate. Take that age of rage. 118 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 1: If you don't think this is a so that he continues, 119 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: if you don't think this is a great highlight tape 120 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: of deep throws, you don't have a reasonable frame of 121 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: reference because you genuinely don't know what you're talking about. 122 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: Joe a underscore NFL. He doesn't have a horse in 123 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: the race, he's not stiff necked and doesn't seem to 124 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: have an agenda, and that's what he shared from a 125 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: contextual standpoint. Then we got my new man, Mateo. Don't 126 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: know who Mateo is, but if you'd like to follow 127 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: him on one of many social media platforms at mj 128 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: N Designer at MJN Designer with all this McCarthy terrorism 129 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: really unacceptably entering my life, but nevertheless it did because 130 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: we had an open segment. He wrote. He missed his 131 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: entire rookie year due to injury, missed a full season's 132 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: worth of snaps in practice. Then he spent last off 133 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: season rehabbing. No bleep, it's been difficult. Hopefully he takes 134 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: advantage of a full, healthy off season this year. I 135 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: always love that one or he flew in the face 136 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: of the age of age in that it was fair 137 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: it was relaxed, it was calm, it was non confrontational. 138 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: Matteo at MJN designer and skull Underscore Doc. I found 139 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: skull Underscore Doc. Skoll Doc, Scoll Doc. I personally think 140 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: it's bad faith to compare a season in which he 141 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: was injured all year to healthy quarterbacks. I'm treating jjm 142 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: jjm JJ as a sample that didn't tell us a 143 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: whole lot, and next year is going to reveal what 144 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: we need to know again, Skull Underscore Doc. Not looking 145 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: for big names with these comments, Calm, relaxed, seemingly fair, 146 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: non confrontational yours truly not looking for ballyhood names with 147 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: these opinions.

I think they've showed it throughout, you know, 203 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: the prelims, into the quarterfinals, into the Semis, and they're 204 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: playing their best hockey right now. And I told Taylor 205 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: after the first game, I said, I don't really care 206 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: who you're playing, but if you guys are playing the 207 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: way you're playing, you have the goaltending the way it 208 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: has been, there's no reason why you don't have a 209 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: gold medal around your you know, around your neck in 210 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. And tomorrow's the big one. But 211 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: it's one of those games, you know, PA, you got 212 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: to show up. And hockey is such a funny game. 213 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: This is the seven game series, right, This is one 214 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: hockey game, one of the best rivalries in all of sports. 215 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: And what an opportunity for the girls tomorrow. 216 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: All right, hold on here, all right, it's gonna be 217 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: a second all right. Coven and Cleanup provided by I 218 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: dropped a nick on a person named Nate in the 219 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: opening segment Coven and Cleanup provided by Nobody. Because the 220 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: name is the name is Nate Heisey. And and and 221 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: here here's here's the question, mister p Fox, why have 222 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: you either never or briefly told us about Nate Heisey, 223 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: who daggered here the other night and is just a 224 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: few months from becoming your brother in law. 225 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: That's a great question, I think. I think that's the 226 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: way Nate Heisee would want it. If you were to 227 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: get to know Nate Heisee, He's a he's a pretty 228 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: low key guy, but he's a hell of a ballplayer. 229 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: And I think if you were to ask his head 230 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: coach TJ about Nate Heisee, he would say the same thing. 231 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: And he's a guy that is similar to Taylor. He 232 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: shows up every day, he puts the work in, and 233 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: he's a tremendous player. He kind of a six man 234 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: role there in Iowa State. And and you know, I've 235 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: watched a lot of college basketball this year. I've called 236 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: a lot of college basketball this year, and I think 237 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: Iowa State is the type of team that can, you know, 238 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: make a run in the march, and I think their 239 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: national championship good and they've proved it over the last 240 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: couple of weeks, especially beating go Ahead. What is that? 241 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: No go ahead? We had a we had a bad 242 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: connection there via the satellite. My fault. 243 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I hope I got you here, But no, I 244 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 2: think I think they're a legit team, and I think 245 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: they just proved it. They'd beat number two Houston at home. 246 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: Nate had a huge corner three, a little catch and release, 247 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: no dip corner three to win that game there and 248 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: one an awesome player, what a good dude. And I'm 249 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: really cheering for the Cyclones in the march. 250 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: Parker, Parker, Parker, Pea Fox, I always love that one. 251 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: You're still there, Pea Fox?

And Ryan Hammer 289 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: just went on the record and said that was the 290 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 2: best game he's ever watched live as Iowa State took 291 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: on and beat Calvin Samson and Houston.

I don't know if 293 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: you saw this on X or not, but Steph Curry's 294 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: average release time is about point six seconds, Kyle Korver 295 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: about point seven seconds. Nate Cotton made that thing in 296 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 2: point four seconds.

I think Tyres 303 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: Haliburton would have an argument there. George's niang. He can 304 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: shoot the ball too, But no, I love this, pa 305 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: I'll tell you I love this Iowa State team. One 306 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: thing I love in the March is elite veteran guards 307 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: and they have that in team and Lipsey he's as 308 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: good as they come. And then you have to have 309 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: a solid front court and their foreman, and Jefferson is 310 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 2: as dominant. He kind of reminds me a little bit 311 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 2: of Dawson Garcia the way he plays. He can stretch 312 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: the floor and he can do it inside. And then 313 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: you add pieces around them and Nate and they have 314 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: this toy A kid. He's a French freshman and he's 315 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 2: absolutely electric off the bench. So they have a lot 316 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 2: of really good pieces, and I think there are two 317 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: that is going to make a late run into March, 318 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: hopefully into April, and hopefully he's got some family tickets. 319 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind being a plus one at the final. 320 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: Four either, pa Hey Pete Box.

You walked through like a gate instant 491 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: scan your ticket and then you walk through the door, 492 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: and I think that the purpose of that is to 493 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 2: allow people in between quarters and periods and then have 494 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: times to go take a step outside and make sure 495 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: they get their cigarette in. But that's just the European culture. 496 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 2: It's a little different over here. But everywhere you go 497 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 2: you're either smelling cigarette smoke or something in the air. Man, 498 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 2: it's the European way. 499 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: I guess you could say, did Hillary Knight ever get 500 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: that record setting goal? Right? 501 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 4: Yet? 502 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: She's on a little bit of a slide, man. You know, 503 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: she's tied for first, so she's one goal away and 504 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a big one for her tomorrow. 505 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: She actually just got engaged about an hour ago, which 506 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: is tremendous, tremendous news for her. She's on the path 507 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: trying to set the record. I think we would be 508 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 2: sixteen goals and what a special game it would be 509 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: tomorrow to do it her fifth Olympics, you know, wearing 510 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: the sea on her chest as team captain and going 511 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: against your rivals. I was telling Norto yesterday, this is 512 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: the this is the competition, this is the rivalry in 513 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 2: women talky, it's USA Canada and tomorrow I think is 514 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 2: gonna be a special one, especially for our team captain. 515 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: All right, lastly, thirty seconds you get it all three 516 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: to go for the men to win a goal. Sweden 517 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: today at two ten central. Tough tough bunch, this Sweden 518 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: group with mega NHL high enders Eric Sinek and Faber 519 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: banging away at each other to ten Central today.

I really like Petterson, he's a really 529 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: good player. But the one guy that I've really enjoyed 530 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 2: watching is William Neelander.

But like you said, this Sweden team 534 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: is their high end, so I'm looking forward to a 535 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: little bit of a wild matchup with Eric and quinn 536 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: Us and Bowlby and our guy Fabes.

But we can't wait. 561 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 2: We can't wait for. 562 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 4: The sun to come out and spring to shine. So 563 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 4: but you know what, it's not like we're not used 564 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 4: to it. We did live in Minnesota for almost five years. Well, 565 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 4: it's all good. 566 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: Well, Bruce, coach Boudreau obviously honored to have you on 567 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: the radio show to discuss Olympic hockey and much more. 568 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: But what's mildly surprising is your beloved Canadian hockey squad 569 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: is playing Checkia right now. And it took them all. 570 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: Took them all of two minutes and five seconds to 571 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: take a one zero lead on a CHECKI a turnover. 572 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: Holy calcan these Canadians skate. 573 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 4: It's going to be quite a game. I think the 574 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 4: Canadians like, I mean, look at it's the dream. The 575 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 4: dream scenario is the Americans playing against Canadians because we're 576 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 4: all so vividly remember the four Nations thing last year 577 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 4: and how exciting it was, and I think both both 578 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 4: teams that are so pumped up about this. There's nobody's 579 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 4: taken anything easy, nobody's going through the motions. Uh, it's 580 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 4: it's I really hope it ends that way because I 581 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,479 Speaker 4: think it'll be great, absolutely great for the game. 582 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: Are you watching Canada Chechio while you chat with us? 583 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 4: No, I'm gone to another room because then I forget 584 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 4: what you say, Paul and be focused on the game. 585 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,479 Speaker 4: I can't do that. I gotta go to an the room. 586 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure you'll see the highlight later. But the 587 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: first goal of the game was a McKinnon drop pass 588 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: to Celebrini. Oh my heavens was I'm not McKennon McDavid. 589 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: McDavid with a drop pass to Celebrini. Celebrini's nineteen years old? 590 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me with this? Bros? 591 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 4: This kid is going to be so good. Like I mean, 592 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 4: you know, you hate to put titles on everybody, but 593 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 4: I remember Sidney Crosby at eighteen and nineteen years old, 594 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 4: and this is Celebrini. And in twenty years, when everybody 595 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 4: else is retired, we're going to be talking about Celebrini 596 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 4: as is he you know, in the top five players 597 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 4: in history type thing like, I mean, I think that's 598 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 4: where this kid is headed. He's just one of those 599 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 4: generational players that is a real generational player that you 600 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 4: get every so often. Not a great player, not a good, 601 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 4: but one player that stands above the rest. And I mean, 602 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 4: unless his career path takes a complete change, this is 603 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 4: where I see him going. 604 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 1: How how much do you love Olympic hockey? 605 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 4: Oh man? I mean, I think playing for your country 606 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 4: is the most exciting thing in the world. I mean, 607 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 4: you think how hard these guys are going in any event, 608 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 4: in any sport, and it's not for money, it's just 609 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 4: for the for love of country and love of winning 610 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 4: for your country. And I love it. I was lucky 611 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 4: enough to coach a team Canada in a tournament and 612 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 4: I told the guys, I said, listen, just tell me 613 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 4: where it is. I'll walk there in Europe to get there. So, 614 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 4: I mean, to put on your country's jersey to me 615 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,760 Speaker 4: is an amazing thing and it's something you grow up hoping. 616 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 4: And I know I know both the American team and 617 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 4: the Canadian team feel the same way. So it's going 618 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 4: to be great. Hopefully they get together in the final. 619 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: Bruce Boudreau, former Wild coach, elite analyst for NHL Network 620 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: These Days nine to now. 621 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 622 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: Now, are you familiar with a podcast called Hockey Lifers. 623 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 4: Yes, I am, okay, we're gonna have to get you 624 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 4: on it. 625 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you might want to wait a couple of weeks. 626 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: We can talk about that later anyway. 627 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: Did I well controversy. 628 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,359 Speaker 1: No, that's great, we can talk about that later too.

But 647 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 4: at the same time, living in America for since nineteen 648 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 4: eighty nine, I'm sort of Americanized pretty well too. 649 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 2: So I want, I just want. 650 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 4: A great game. And I mean, this is the crappy 651 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 4: way of saying it, but I mean in the end, 652 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 4: you'd like to be Canadians are always the underdogs in 653 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 4: the world, so I mean, I'd like to like to 654 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 4: see them win. 655 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: How are the Canadians underdogs in the world. 656 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 2: Well, not in hockey. 657 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 4: We're America's little brother, you know, Like I mean, we're 658 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 4: the if we if like I mean, in almost any 659 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 4: sport except hockey, we would be the underdogs if we 660 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 4: were playing against the Americans, I think. 661 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: So you said, okay, so you said, you know when 662 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,760 Speaker 1: you're like giving USA a chance to win the Gold 663 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: And we got the Hockey Lifers podcast, which which is 664 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: really really good. I listened to part of an episode 665 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: this morning. Bruce Boudreaux is the co host, and you said, 666 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: you got ten calls from your Canadian friends, like Gabby, 667 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Was one of them? Perchance 668 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: Gilbert Perout did? Did Jilbert peroaut give you a call? 669 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 2: No? 670 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 4: These were all guys that I grew up with, and 671 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 4: they were just adamant because like I mean, you turncoat, 672 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 4: you trainer was going, well, I got to go back 673 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 4: and listen to see what I said. 674 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: So it was it was quite wild, now, Bruce nicknamed Gabby. 675 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty you were in your third year playing 676 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: for the Toronto Maple Leafs. How much of a surprise 677 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: was it for you? Then when the USA beat the Soviets, well. 678 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 4: You know, it was an absolute surprise. But here's the thing, 679 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 4: if you got a minute, Like, first of all, I 680 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 4: was playing in the Maple Leafs minor league team, okay, 681 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 4: And that night we were in Binghamton, New York, playing 682 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 4: and we finished the game at about nine to thirty, 683 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 4: and we all raced across the street because there was 684 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 4: a bar, and we all watched the game the Americans, 685 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 4: the Mircle on ice game at the bar, and I 686 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 4: remember it as clear as day as how exciting everybody was, 687 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 4: and the al Michaels call and everything else. But we 688 00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 4: had just come from Canada, and we're Canada had lost 689 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 4: to the Soviets the previous game, and we were so 690 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 4: upset and we wanted the Americans to win, but we 691 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 4: thought no chance could they win. And for them to 692 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,439 Speaker 4: pull off that victory was amazing because we were all 693 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 4: we all got in the bus and we couldn't believe 694 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 4: what just happened. A bunch of college kids beat the 695 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 4: best team in the world. That would be like a 696 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 4: bunch of NCAA guys playing against the Canadian or the 697 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 4: American teams today and winning. Can you imagine, like, I mean, 698 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 4: that doesn't seem feasible the. 699 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,919 Speaker 1: Bruce the current USA team they hook Sweden today. Two 700 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: ten my time, three ten your time. How would you 701 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: qualify Austin matthews NHL career. 702 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 4: Unbelievable. His very first game he scored four goals. I 703 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 4: mean as an eighteen year old, So I mean he's 704 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 4: had you know, like every player, like I don't care 705 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 4: who you are, in any sport, you have years that 706 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 4: are absolutely great and then you have years that are normal. 707 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 4: But the normal years you feel like they're down years 708 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 4: because you've had the great years. And Austin has been 709 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 4: hurt for the last couple of years. 710 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 2: But he is. 711 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 4: Like, in to me, in the top five players in 712 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 4: the world, and he's so elite and I'll never forget 713 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 4: playing him. The first game he played in Minnesota, when 714 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 4: he was with the Leafs against US, he made a 715 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 4: play and I remember looking over at the coaches and going, 716 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 4: did you just see that? And because there was all 717 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 4: this talk about this young kid coming in and they 718 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 4: played Winnipeg the night before, and he knocked the puck 719 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 4: out of mid air and before it hit the ice, 720 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 4: he put it in the top corner and Dubnik didn't 721 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 4: even see it, and I went, that is his most 722 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 4: amazing hands coordination goal that I've ever seen. I thought 723 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 4: of him ever since then, that he is that talented. 724 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 4: What he doesn't have, like if he had that outgoing, 725 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 4: really outgoing person like, he's so quiet that you don't 726 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 4: hear much about him. It's almost like Quinn Hughes, that 727 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 4: is so great, but you know, they don't talk about 728 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 4: themselves in that so you don't get to see how 729 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 4: great they really are or know how great they really 730 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 4: are because they're not in the paper as much as 731 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 4: other people would be. 732 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: Oh, oh, Chechia with a goal. Gabby about eight and 733 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: a half. I don't want to, so you don't. Yeah, 734 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: it's I mean we're eight and a half minutes into it, 735 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: so you're probably probably missed the first half of the 736 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: first period because of this chat. Yeah, but you still 737 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 1: got still you've still got two periods and ten minutes 738 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:34,280 Speaker 1: left to watch. 739 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,479 Speaker 4: Well, it's only it's my only fear, But that team 740 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 4: is whether Jordan Bennington and you guys see him enough, 741 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,919 Speaker 4: I mean out there can can do it, because I'm 742 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 4: not sold on this guy, and I don't care how 743 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 4: good he was last year. I don't care how good 744 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,879 Speaker 4: John Cooper says, how much faith he has in him, 745 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 4: I don't because I mean he is arguably, in the 746 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 4: regular season one of the top or bottom five goalies 747 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 4: in the NHL right now. So I'm a little worried 748 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 4: about push coming to shove, especially when check ya. You know, 749 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 4: they got past an Act and Nietzschez. They got some 750 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,320 Speaker 4: pretty good players on that team. So I'm a little worried, 751 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 4: but I'm confident the Canadians will come through in the end. 752 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: You you mentioned Quinn Hughes hughesy well, so doing NHL Network, 753 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: you'll watch it all and I know you stay in 754 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: touch with your beloved wild What do you like when 755 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: Faber and Quinn Hughes play together. 756 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 4: As a coach, I sit there and I feel very 757 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 4: confident that nothing bad is going to happen. 758 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: Wow. 759 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 4: You know it's like having that you're going out on 760 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 4: a date with your wife and you know you got 761 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 4: the babysitter. 762 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 2: That's really good. 763 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 4: You feel confident that everything's going to be okay when 764 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 4: you come home. And when Quinn Hughes in favor on 765 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 4: the ice, that's what I feel. I you know, if 766 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 4: I was coaching them and going everything's going to be 767 00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 4: positive for the next shift. Sometimes you get another defenseman 768 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 4: out there and not put him down, but say Matt Dumba, 769 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 4: I mean, and you would think that something great can happen, 770 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 4: but something negative can happen too. I don't feel that 771 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 4: when I see Quinn Hughes or Brock favor on a 772 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 4: paper on the ice. 773 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this right now, Gabby Bennington better get 774 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: his head into this game. Checkie almost took a two 775 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: to one lead man. This is very interesting. What's taking 776 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: place with the USA? Two ten, My time, three ten, 777 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,240 Speaker 1: Your time in Sweden today? Oh boy, that that's Sweden. 778 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 1: Team is high end. Holy cow, where where do you go? Ahead? 779 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 2: Go? 780 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, no, you're right, they're as good 781 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 4: as they get. Don't forget. In this poor Nations tournament 782 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 4: last year, Sweden was the only team that didn't lose 783 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 4: a game in regulation and they lost an overtime to 784 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 4: the US. And so, I mean, it's not going to 785 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 4: be easy, and I can I can say that right now. 786 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 4: So I mean, both all these these games now that 787 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 4: are going the team's better be at the top of 788 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 4: their popular game or they're not going to be playing 789 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:09,800 Speaker 4: for the gold medal. 790 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: Uh. Juel ericson Ak, you had act right when he 791 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: came into the league. 792 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, one of my favorite all time players for 793 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 4: UH we we called him up our fourth line was 794 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 4: not very good, and we called him up from Sweden 795 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 4: at the end of his end of his career the 796 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 4: first year, and then I had him for two more 797 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 4: years after that, and uh, you just knew that this 798 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 4: kid was going to be one player that any coach 799 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 4: on any team would just love to have because he's fearless, 800 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 4: he's got a great touch, and he plays both ends 801 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 4: of the ice and and you know, I always find 802 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 4: it when I when I talked to all the kids 803 00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 4: and or all the players, and that he's a really 804 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 4: good guy. So you're a really good guys. They're usually 805 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 4: really good players, I think. 806 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 1: So last one here, Bruce, appreciate your brother. When when 807 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: when you're coaching a team? All right, so it's the wild, 808 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 1: it's Vancouver, it's whatever. When when you get Anaheim? Whatever? 809 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 1: When when you get players back from the Olympics. But like, 810 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,439 Speaker 1: what's that like? Does it take them a little while 811 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: to reacclimate? 812 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 4: I mean, it takes them a little bit. Like my 813 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 4: big question is, like I mean, in twenty ten, I 814 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 4: was or the last one, I was in Anaheim in 815 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 4: the Olympics, and I asked the players that came back, 816 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 4: I said, do you want a couple of days off? 817 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 4: Because they've gone through all this stress. So I mean, 818 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 4: but once they get back and they get back with 819 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 4: their teammates, it's they're a step ahead of everybody else 820 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,919 Speaker 4: because they've been playing at a higher level than even 821 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 4: the NHL is when it gets started again. So I mean, 822 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 4: they're usually better. It's and I like it too. 823 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 3: They may not. 824 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 4: Realize this, but when you play in the NHL and 825 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 4: you get sent down to the minor leagues. Okay, you're 826 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,479 Speaker 4: usually a little better than all the minor league guys 827 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 4: are right away because you've been skating at a higher pace, 828 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 4: playing at a higher level. And I think that the 829 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 4: Olympics does that for players because it's the players that 830 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 4: have been on vacation and that there. It takes them 831 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 4: a day or two or a game or two, or 832 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 4: they're sloppy in what they do and and but the 833 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,319 Speaker 4: Olympians come back and they're ready to play right away. 834 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 4: And as you know, once this Olympic gold is done, 835 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 4: the games are starting right away, so there's not a 836 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,080 Speaker 4: lot of time to rest. 837 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Wild are at the Avalanche right out of 838 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 1: the break.
