1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,399
Speaker 1: Hurricanes down grunted into a tropical disturbance.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Blue Jacket. They are insane.

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: If they think they're gonna win the Stanley Cup, they

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: should be called the strait Jackets, Devils. They're in the details,

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: not in the playoffs. Islanders, the firsts in their name

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: is silent, just like their fans, Rangers. Henry hank Ford

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: should have recalled.

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: Them when he had the opportunity.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Flyers, Rod Street, Bozos Penguins.

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: What's the point of being a bird if you can't

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: even fly? It's like being offishal.

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Can't swims, Capitals vetch can't. Bruins stole their name from

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: UCLA Sabs.

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: They ruined the.

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: Game of baseball by introducing saber metrics.

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: To professional sports.

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Red Wings what that poor hungry goose had after tannabe

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: bludgeted with a hockey stick after it innocently knocked on

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: his door with its beak while seeking shelter during inclement weather.

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: Panthers the organization was creative. They'd be sponned by Owen's

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: corny and wear all pink uniforms. Canadians obviously Original six

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: more like Unoriginal six Senators too busy shutting down the

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: government to play hockey lightning. Everyone knows it doesn't strike twice. Okay,

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: it's struck twice, but there's no way it could strike

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: three times. May believe Savid Arounds is nineteen seventeen, and

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,639
Speaker 1: nobody has the heart to tell them that the plural

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: form of.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: Leaf is leaves mammoth overheated.

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Because of their their wily sweaters, we're not all that

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: breatheable black Hawks. Whenever their name is mentioned in the Mornings,

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: you know, the twenty four people in the studio begin

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: to giggle uncontrollably. Avalanche Chevy's bigger, boxier version of an.

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: El Camino stars.

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: Rosen is smittening and feels an overwhelming desire to take

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: out his phone snap a picture whenever.

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: He sees one.

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: Predators contemplating fleeing the Dateline kitchen while being badgered by

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: Chris Hansen explaining that they d only.

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: Drove four hundred miles to talk to her.

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Wooz what Pa will inevitably have a case of In

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: January Jets, the only win they'll see is in the

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: first three letters of the city they play in Ducks.

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Rosen hates their logo because.

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: It has a.

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: Because it has a bill on it. Flaves extinguished Oilers.

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: Conor McDavid.

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 2: Is over raided Kings he thrown Sharks haven't.

48
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: Recovered psychologically since Arthur Fonzarelli humiliated them by jumping over

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: them while wearing water skis in a leather jacket. Crackett

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: with the foundation of their building. We'll be doing when

51
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the fans collectively collapse.

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: On the Wild sweep them in the playoffs. Cacks.

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: Apparently, naming the Canadian hockey team is really easy. You

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: just say the name of the city and follow it

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: up with a slang term for its citizens. If they

56
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: relocate to Iowa, they'll be called the Iowa Islands Golden Knights.

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: They put the loss in Las Vegas.

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: They're all, including the Yankees, the Boscos dead opening night.

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: In so much to get to National Hockey League Opening

60
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Bronx Bombers dead.

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: They've been eliminated from postseason play.

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Quarterback controversy continues to swirl here in Minneapolis, golfers try

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: to rebound after a loss to Ohio State when they

64
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: host Purdue. The Minnesota Timberwolves. They're about to begin their season.

65
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: They're still in some pre season, but they'll start in

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. With all those topics to get to,

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where to begin.

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: Let's spin the wheel of.

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: Topic Minnesota Wild.

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 5: What was that it said in Minnesota Wild? This is

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 5: what a landa done.

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: That's weird.

73
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm not paying this close attention to the wilds. I

74
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: once did TENN Tobe take it away? I heard we

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: had three hours of wild talk. Fallness basically said it

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: was Ducky and Bunny Radio.

77
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: Sure, I would assume. So if it's Kevin Falmas, he

78
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: finished so well the season.

79
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: He finished the show by the way he I think

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: it must just be the time slot nine to noon

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: where you take a break havn eight minutes of commercials,

82
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: then come back for one minute of program h eight

83
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: more minutes of commercial which just kills you and me.

84
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: Yes, they have.

85
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: In other words, they have a complete and total disregard

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: for the show that follows them. It's like, we get

87
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: out on time every single break all nine. That's what

88
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: we do because that's what we're supposed to do. There's

89
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: a sign what used to hang in here?

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 2: Maybe they need to put it back up.

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Break at the twelves, the twenty seven's and the fifty

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: two or if you straddle forty two, and apparently they

93
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: all of.

94
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 5: A sudden, we've been listening to management motions. Just disregard him.

95
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: Like the other show said, yes.

96
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: That's what we should do. He said, the seasons, the

97
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: season is, he said, the wild season. It is bright

98
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: that it all starts tonight.

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: You do the rhyming thing there.

100
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: Bright tonight, I uptight on a site to come to fight,

101
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: right right right?

102
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: I yeah, you know.

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: It's always we start every every every season here locally

104
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: with a montage, and it's always only the beginning because

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: it is only the beginning.

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: It's a peppy little tune by a band called Chicago.

107
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Tend me. How many bands do you know that are

108
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: named after like cities or countries or continents.

109
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 5: Berlin, there's Berlin, Europe, Europe, Asia, very good. Not Chicago, Chicago, Boston, Boston.

110
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: Think of country is Alabama? Yeah, I know there's Alabama.

111
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alabama. They did love in the first degree. That's six.

112
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: And there are my guesses there are more.

113
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Sure, there are plenty of So we always start to see,

114
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: isn't with that it's it's peppy, it's upbeat, and it

115
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: is it's only the beginning. That doesn't mean anything is

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: going to end. Uh, that's not It doesn't mean it's

117
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: going to end bright It starts bride. The season is bright,

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: doesn't mean we'll end brightly. But yeah, it starts tonight.

119
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: The Wild take on the Saint Louis Blues. And did

120
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: you say they are in the gateway city of the Arch.

121
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 5: It's at Saint Louis.

122
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint Louis.

123
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: Our former coach is no longer their head coach. Right,

124
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: he's long gone from there? Who is it, Mike, Yeah,

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: he's long gone from there? Right?

126
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

127
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: You know, NHL coaches get recycled so often that you

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 5: could ask me who the other thirty one NHL coach

129
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 5: are and I would probably not be able to answer

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 5: a whole lot of them because I don't remember which

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 5: ones on which team anymore?

132
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: Is Mike Yo is still a head coach somewhere, I

133
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: don't believe. So, okay, he's all done.

134
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: I'm sure he's still an assistant.

135
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, oh yeah, sure, God today gone to me.

136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 5: He's an assistant coach right now with the Ottawa Senators.

137
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: Ottawa Senators probably doesn't pay what the head coaching job does,

138
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: but it's a living, you know, and it beats working

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: for a living too.

140
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: So Jim Montgomery, who used to coach the ballin Bruins,

141
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: is now the Saint List Blues.

142
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: You know what? You know what they call him in

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: the locker room?

144
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: Money?

145
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 5: Money?

146
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Oh sure, why wouldn't they? Uh let me ask you

147
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: a question. I will defer to you, and I know

148
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: we've talked about it. Well, we have Peak at the

149
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Purple next we will certainly talk wild. I know there

150
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: was plenty of talk, but basically three hours of that,

151
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I believe. But I do want to get ten and

152
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: B's opinion. He is he is yourr He is my

153

Speaker 1: favorite and foremost hockey expert here in the Twin Cities,

155
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Green Giant thinks. But other side of the break, we'll

156
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: do Peak at the Purple, brought to you by our

169
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: rather than a brain, Because not only did he talk

170
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: three hours wild hockey, I.

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 2: Started to panic.

172
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: I was breaking out into a cold sweat and getting hives.

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: He had the NHL Network on, so it was a

174
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: replay of a game from last night, and I couldn't

175
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: take it anymore.

176
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: So I had to go to That's what I got on.

177
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because at least esp And gives me the crawl,

178
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: so then I can see it helps me with topic ideas.

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 5: Because usually by this time I saw that with you

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: and Rosen yesterday.

181
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, by this time at the ground, I've run out

182
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: of things to talk about. There's really not much going

183
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: on right now. So I just wait and I see

184
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: something that piques my curiosity and then I go ahead

185
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: and go with it. I just I'm I don't want

186
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: to talk about I think it's a replay the Senators

187
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: and somebody else or the Canadians or something like that.

188
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: More on that later.

189

00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: brought to by Affordable Electric, Affordable Dash Electric dot Com,

200
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: Affordable Dash Electric, dot Com Ranball. Today, fish Wrap Factory

201
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: west Side wrote about JJ McCarthy and when he comes back,

202
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: we'll be able to do the quick passing game. And

203
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: I think that's that's sort of dovetails on what Kevin

204
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: O'Connell said earlier this week and his day after the

205
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: game news conference. If you'll remember the quote tend to be.

206
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: It was quote he's talking about JJ. He's had some

207
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: real moments to grow through this time, meaning the time

208
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: that he has been on the bench watching Wentz for

209
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: three games, watching Carson, watching the way Carson's kind of

210
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: gone through progressions quickly. Just the value of putting the

211
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: ball in play even when it's not your first progression

212
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: end up quote, And that has been part of the

213
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: problems you've watched McCarthy. He he seems like other than

214
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: that fourth quart against the Bears, the other seven quarters

215
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: almost like a deer in the headlights kind of a thing.

216
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Game goes really fast, right, it's and you know the

217
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: way O'Connor likes. O'conna likes to throw the wall down field,

218
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: and you can't blame him. He's got two really good

219
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers who can stretch the field in.

220
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Jet and Addie.

221
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: So but it's a double edged sword because as much

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: as you'd like to throw out downfield, when your offensive

223
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: line isn't providing a heck of a lot of protection,

224
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to do that. So you sort of have

225
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: to mix and match, and when it's not successful, I

226
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: think part of that falls on the coach and the

227
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: play calling, because if your offensive line isn't able to

228
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,239
Speaker 1: provide that protection, you can't try to force those.

229
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: Those long, developing pass patterns.

230
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: Now with Wentz, as O'Connell pointed out there, he's whatever

231
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: you think of him as a quarterback.

232
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: He certainly isn't one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

233
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: We get that, but having that veteran savvy he does

234
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: know I can't stand back to all day.

235
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: I got to get rid of the football.

236
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: And if that means, you know, the first progressions, you

237
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: know that in inner football talk, aren't they I got

238
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: to get the ball to somebody. I got to get

239
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: it out of my hands because if I don't, I'm

240
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: going to get sacked.

241
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: And we don't want to. We we we can't afford.

242
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: You can't a sack is it could be it basically

243
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: in most cases just snuffs out a drive before it

244
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: even gets a chance to begin.

245
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: You can't be losing. Yeah, they just kill you. And

246
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: so now I would hope that.

247
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: It is year of watching Donald last year he would

248
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: have learned that, you know, I mean, he's you know,

249
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: you know, uh O'Connell's saying that these last few games

250
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: that JJ's had an opportunity to really see the value

251
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: in getting rid of the ball, even when your first

252
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: progression isn't there. And I thought he did that last

253
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: year too. I would have thought he would already figure

254
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: that out. But if that, if if there's more teaching

255
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: moments that need to happen, then it's it's better that

256
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: that they're happening without him on the field.

257
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: Learning the game while you're playing is more. You know,

258
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: it's for me. Lor you've heard me say that.

259
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: It's you can watch all you want, but you got

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: to get out there and actually play right. And he

261
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: watched for an entire year because he was injured last year.

262
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: And then we saw and it doesn't look like a

263
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: and again he's just darting his career. But he wasn't

264
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: very good those first two games. But hopefully he does

265
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: see the value. He picked something up from Wentz in

266
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: that if I'm back there, I can't hold the ball forever.

267
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: I have to get rid of the ball and then

268
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: you can't force it into place as you saw last week.

269
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: No you didn't because it was Detroit.

270
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Detroit was playing the bungles and Browning was just I

271
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: mean he was forcing it into places. Yeah, and he

272
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: was last week against Detroit. I mean just in an

273
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: effort to get rid of the ball, he'd hang on

274
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: to it and then he would throw it. And I

275
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: think Detroit had two.

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: Or three interceptions. You just you can't do that.

277
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: And so.

278
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: Because McCarthy's going to be the guy.

279
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. Whether now we've been talking

280
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: all week, last couple of weeks. As a matter of fact,

281
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think by the wait before you

282
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: move on, you mentioned the Bengals and Browning. Yeah, do

283
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: you want to do you want to know the craziest

284
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: set of the NFL so far this year? What is it?

285
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase has more tackles than Michah Parson.

286
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw I saw something about It wasn't that one,

287
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: but it was something about you know, it was about

288
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: the It was about the tackles by by Jamar and

289
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: it was more than he had catchers or something like

290
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: that with some other stat.

291
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: Like that, Jamar Chase has five tackles this year.

292
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Think about it.

293
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: Actually that came be right. It looks like Parsons says eight.

294
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 5: So wherever I read that was wrong?

295
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, there have been a solo tackles. Yeah, there

296
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: have been a number of different Yeah, he has.

297
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 5: More tackles than solo tackles than Michael Parsons.

298
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: Yes, Like I say, I've already heard a couple other comparisons.

299
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase has had more tackles than and then there's

300
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: been some comparison to somebody. So so yeah, so I

301
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: I you know again, I don't think any of us

302
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: know for sure. I don't even know if the head

303
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: coach knows for sure who's going to start against Philadelphia.

304
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: It sounds to me that by everything they are saying

305
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: they wanted to be McCarthy, they are going to force

306
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: feed McCarthy. And I guess you know, we've debated this,

307
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: you me Rose, and we've we've we've we've had emailers

308
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: weighing in it. It seems to me it's on the emails.

309
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's fifty to fifty, it might

310
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: even be sixty forty in favor of just playing McCarthy

311
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: no matter what happens this season. This season, I think

312
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: people feel like the season's already gone. Even though the

313
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: vikings are three and two and if the playoffs started

314
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: today playoffs they would be in but I think people

315
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: are ready to see what they what we have with McCarthy,

316
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: and they have that that's the case, that that's fine,

317
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: because I mean, eventually you do have to play him.

318
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you think to yourself right now,

319
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: if you're going, wow, he was really overwhelm those first

320
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: two games. Once it's played, okay, And you know I

321
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: read that that that line from Mark Craig fisherp Factory

322
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: west Side when he said he said something like new

323
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: rule and he said, if you knew what Wentz did

324
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: in the final drive of the.

325
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: Who do we just beat Cleveland?

326
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: Cleveland?

327
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: If you do that in your last drive and win

328
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: the game, go nine of nine and drive the team

329
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: eight yards and win the game, then you should keep

330
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: your job.

331
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: And I tend to.

332
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: Agree with that. But you know, how long do you

333
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: keep him in there? I guess if he keeps winning.

334
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: But then I understand the other side of the corner,

335
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: people go, well, we still don't know what we got

336
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: on JJ McCarthy.

337
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we'll find out sooner or later.

338
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 5: But that'll all starting Carson Wentz doesn't prevent JJ McCarthy

339
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: from ever playing again.

340
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. So we'll just see how it goes,

341
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: how it plays out.

342
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think what the biggest thing mcarthy needs

343
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: to do is he's got to get rid of the football.

344
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: You can't stand back and you can't force it into places,

345
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: and you got to you got to realize games played

346
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: pretty fast at this level if they and and I

347
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: don't know if the offensive lineup, which should get better

348
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: after the bye week, right because we think Jackson will.

349
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: And I don't know it's concussion.

350
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 5: Guy is going to be out for a while, right

351
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 5: he's but I would assume so.

352
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: And then O'Neill, you have to remind me we talked

353
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: about yesterday he is.

354
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's got a chance to

355
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: come back by by uh by the Philly game, But

356
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: we'll find out.

Speaker 5: As well.

373
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: So that's coming up at one thirty this afternoon. Timmy,

374
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: are you familiar with Greg Wishnisky. You know who that is?

375
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: Yes, I think ESPN Hockey guy, Yeah.

376
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: ESPN Hockey guy. He I just decided, you know, because

377
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: as as the season begins, we always like to make

378
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: our predictions. How do you think the local team will do?

379
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: And so all I googled was NHL predictions and that's

380
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: the first one that came up.

381
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: And here's what wish Nisky writes. And I want you

382
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: to tell me what you think about this.

383
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: The Wild will spend one hundred and thirty six million

384
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: to keep Carill Capriso through twenty thirty three thirty four

385
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: bold prediction. At some point during that run, the Wild

386
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: will have built a Stanley Cup contender around here. O

387
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: average you can see the broad strokes of it now.

388
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: Brock Faber and Zee boyam anchoring the defense. Yes, Per

389
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Walstead as the franchise goalie. Offense up front from Matt Boldi,

390
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: Danilla Yurov and is Marco Rossi officially not going to

391
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: be traded. Point being that this feels like a transition

392
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: year for the Wild.

393
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm not a.

394
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: Huge fan of their offensive depth beyond Caprice off assuming

395
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: he remains healthy, which he better be because with him

396
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: limited to forty one games last season, the Wild were

397
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: the worst five on five team offensively in the NHL,

398
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: with expected goals percentage twenty ninth. That was a reason

399
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: they finished minus eleven in gold differential last season, second

400
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: worst among all playoff teams. That's his synopsis. He does

401
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: not have them making the playoffs this year. Does transition season?

402
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: I know you're the jolly Green Giant. We just had fallness,

403
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: basically saying the future is bright. I think he thinks

404
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: we're bringing a Lombardi Trophy here.

405
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: What do you think of the Wild this year?

406
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: You know, again, we all know injuries this and that,

407
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: but if they stay relatively healthy, Caprice so plays the

408
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: whole year.

409
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: What's your expectations.

410
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if transition is the word, just

411
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: because I think they're going to comparable to where they

412
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 5: have been previously, Right, I don't know if they're they're

413
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: going in a direction. But I made the point the

414
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 5: other day that you know, Bill Garrin and Craig Leopold

415
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 5: have basically publicly said, hey, we have a five year plan.

416
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: This is year three of the five year plan. So

417
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 5: that would lead you to believe that this is not

418
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 5: the year that they are ready to contend for Stanley Cup.

419
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 5: And it makes sense because they are littered with the

420
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: young guys in their lineup. Right, you're off is a rookie.

421
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 5: Ogrin has seen the NHL, but he's you know, he's

422
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: he hasn't played enough, so he's he's a rookie. Booyam,

423
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: even though he played three games in the playoffs last year.

424
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 5: Is a rookie. Your check has a small amount of action.

425
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 5: You know who the goalie might be when they do

426
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 5: get to a cup might be Valstad, who's barely played

427
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 5: at the NHL level. So when you are going to

428
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 5: and they're playing Hunter Hat in the lineup tonight, who's

429
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 5: making his NHL debut When you have that many players

430
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 5: that you're hoping to get contributions from. Those guys just

431
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 5: don't typically contribute year one. I would love for it

432
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 5: to happen. I would love for that to be expedited.

433
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 5: But odds are though, that group of five is going

434
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 5: to be much better two three years down the road

435
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 5: than they are right now, and so if they are

436
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 5: not ready to contribute right now, then you're still looking

437
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 5: at a team that does have some high end players

438
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 5: and could be competitive, but they're not going to have

439
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 5: the depth. You know, caprice off alone. I know we

440
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 5: can't do the if he's healthy or not, but when

441
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 5: he wasn't healthy, they were one of the worst offensive

442
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 5: teams in hockey last year. When he was healthy, they

443
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 5: were great. They could score. As long as guys in

444
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 5: the top six are healthy, they should be able to

445
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 5: put up enough offense. I'm not convinced the depths guys

446
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: are going to be able to do that, specifically because

447
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 5: of the youth there. But Capriceov's arguably a top five

448
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 5: player in the league. I think Matt Boldie's gonna be

449
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 5: a superstar. Hopefully Rossi takes another step. Ericsonnack is a

450
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 5: very quality top six center in this league. So they

451
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 5: have some pieces in the top six, you'd like to

452
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 5: add another guy or two to really get yourself a shot,

453
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 5: or even just to give yourself some depth on a

454
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 5: to give yourself a third line that can score. But

455
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: then once you start getting injuries to some of those guys,

456
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, you go from hey, a

457
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 5: solid offensive team, do a bad offensive team very quickly.

458
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 5: But it's gonna hard, be hard to imagine in twenty

459
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 5: twenty five that those young players are going to be

460
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: like NH already right out of the gate.

461
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to make a I'm going about to say

462
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: something controversial that's interesting.

463
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to draw a comparison with the young guys

464
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Twins in that you have five young

465
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: guys you talked about, yeah, and with the Twins every

466
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: year the pull that pocket protectors will write that, you know,

467
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: preseason story about been talented lineup, got a lot of

468
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: young guys, our farm system is really good, and they'll

469
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: they'll rattle off all the names, and we know the names.

470
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: We've rattled him off ourselves. Miranda Larnic, Royce Lewis and then.

471
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: Yea Walner Julian is one of those. One time for.

472
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Julian, then the brooks Lee and then uh and you know,

473
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: and and and the list goes on and on and

474
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: on and oftentimes. You know, of those guys we just mentioned,

475
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: none of them have blossomed into a uh uh, a

476
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: superstar for sure, but none of them have really played

477
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: where you go, I can count on this looks like

478
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: a guy as long as he's happy here and stays healthy,

479
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: we can count on this guy to be in the

480
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: lineup for years to come, right We we've not established that.

481
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: And you know, the same goes with the wild of

482
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: those five guys, just odds are one, maybe two will

483
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: turn out. This guy's a mainstain in the lineup. They

484
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: played there there there were really they're a quality player.

485
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: They might not be amongst the best in the league,

486
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: but you can't not. There aren't many all star teams

487
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: in hockey, right in any sport where every single position

488
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: is filled.

489
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: So then you have to hope that at least a

490
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: couple of those guys.

491
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: And you know, I asked you about them the other day,

492
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: and like you said, it's just it's just really it's

493
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: really hard to predict which.

494
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: Guys will become, you know, main stays in the National

495
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: Hockey League and perform at a high level.

496
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 5: Well, not only of those five, are you you know,

497
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 5: Let's say, let's say two of the five are going

498
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: to be main stays. Right, of those two, it's not

499
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: likely both those guys are mainstays this year, right, yes, right,

500
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 5: So it's probably like two of them will will be hits.

501
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 5: And that might be two three years from now, probably

502
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 5: not going to happen this year. And there are depending

503
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 5: on young guys this.

504
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: Year, right and again by by hook or by crook.

505
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: You know, you you hope that they do develop great

506
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: and things happen. And as we know tennebe, you know,

507
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: it can really carry a team a long way, not

508
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: just during the regular season, but the postseason. Is good goaltender,

509
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: if your goaltender is really good, it covers it. It's

510
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: like I'll make a golf analogy, A really a red

511
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: hot putter can cover.

512
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 2: Up for a lot of other mistakes on a golf course, right.

513
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean today speaking of Wheeler topic, through three holes,

514
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: I was on pace to shoot sixty.

515
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: I made a six foot.

516
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Par put On one I made a forty five foot

517
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: birdie put on two and a fifteen foot birdie put

518
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: on three. Wow, I'm two wonder that the Laggers trail

519
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: two under through every three holes. Tendabee is on pace

520
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: for one twelve under sixty on.

521
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: A par seventy two.

522
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: I ended up shooting seventy nine because the putter did

523
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: stay hot and I got leaky. Had a couple of

524
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: all hybrid clubs. But the putter can cover up for

525
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: a lot of saying where goaltender would be I would

526
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: say would be the comparison. If you got a hot goaltender,

527
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: you know you played hell when I was a boo

528
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: doockey goaltender. I can't tell you how many teams, how

529
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: many times I bailed our team. My former teammates aren't

530
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: going to be real throat with me.

531
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 5: So the thing is, though I bailed him out many

532
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: many times, the thing is here historically, and that doesn't

533
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: mean the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six goalie tandem

534
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 5: can't do it historically with the wild I feel like

535
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 5: we've always had solid gold ten. I don't feel like

536
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 5: we've had steel games goaltending, okay, right, Like it's we've

537
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: just always been pretty good defensively and they should be well.

538
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 5: It depends on how the young guys played this year.

539
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 5: But assuming Brodean is healthy, which it doesn't look like

540
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: he's gonna play to night, but he's getting close Brodein

541
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 5: and Spurgeon and you know, obviously brock Faber and Middleton.

542
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you gotta and who knows they're gonna get

543
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 5: out of booyim. You got a solid core four there

544
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 5: with potential with some young guys, it should be a

545
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: pretty decent defensive team. But I don't know. If Gustafson

546
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: is a Hey, I'm gonna win games for you, he

547
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 5: might not lose games for you.

548
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. What if the Wild

549
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: were to get out to a two zero.

550
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: Leaps and I think it's best in Saint Louis keep

551
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 5: the things scoreless for as long as possible.

552
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: No, I like that thinking too. I've heard that somewhere

553
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: before in the Blues. You know this wish nisky guy.

554
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: He also listed Central Division standings, Lance Stars, Mammoth, Jets top.

555
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: Four and then he's got to the Wild after that,

556
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 2: and then the Blue.

557
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 5: So the Blues the Mammoth seemed to be kind of

558
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: that trendy Yeah, they've been They've been bad for a

559
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 5: long time and they are starting over the last year

560
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: or two. You know, they've When you are bad for

561
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 5: a long time, you end up drafting high quite a bit.

562
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: And you know, they've had Clayton Keller there not for

563
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 5: a while, who's in his prime. Logan Cooley, who went

564
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 5: to the University of Minnesota has been there now for

565
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: a couple of years. So they kind of be the

566
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 5: trendy by the way. Their uniforms are awesome, are they really? Yeah,

567
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: the Kracking and Mammoth. Like typically, whenever there's been new logos,

568
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: new team names, new Jersey rebrands, I don't like them. Yeah,

569
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 5: Kracking and Mammoth have just knocked it out of the part.

570
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: Are the are the mammoths?

571
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Is like?

572
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: Is it like their jersey like for like wooly ye.

573
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: Like, because that's what I would they do have a

574
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: wooly mammoth type logo. Well, I if they kind of

575
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 5: have like blame Bengals colors to a certain extent.

576
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: If I was a fan of the Mammoth, I would

577
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: just call them the Woolies. That's what I'd be calling.

578
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: I wish. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I bet. I

579
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: bet I wish they would have been the yees.

580
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: I bet there are people that are just calling him,

581
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, because it's you know, the mammoths comes from

582
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: a wooly mammoth.

583
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: So I guess there's some people that are already are.

584
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: Calling them the world were dressing up like a wooly mammoth.

585
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there will be people that will be calling

586
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: them the woolies, just like you know with the Vikings,

587
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: some people call them the Norsemen.

588
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: You know, you you you come up with.

589
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 5: Other I still don't know what a wild is.

590
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: I don't think they know what a wild is either.

591
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 5: We don't have an identity. That's her problem.

592
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: We don't.

593
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: This text message says sorry, I swallowed my own saliva

594
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: to cough there all for not. If we can't fix

595
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: the power play, is that still a problem with our club?

596
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: The power play?

597
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 5: It seems like we talk about it every or that

598
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: goes back to the power kill, the penalty kill. The

599
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 5: penalty penalty kill has been bad for a while. That

600
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 5: needs to change more than the power play. Okay, the

601
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 5: power play will go as far as your player, your

602
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 5: good players are healthy, okay, right. I I don't have

603
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: the splits in front of me. I would imagine the

604
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 5: power play was much better when Caroka Priest soft played

605
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 5: last year compared to when he didn't play.

606
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would make sense.

607
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 5: But you know, if you want to look for how

608
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 5: can the power play get better, it does look like

609
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: ze Booyam is going to be running the top of

610
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: that power play right on the gate. Hopefully, you know,

611
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 5: just from a zone entry standpoint, he's going to help

612
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: get the puckett of the offensive zone. And you know

613
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 5: we're still gonna be stuck with all lefties because we

614
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 5: always have all lefties in Minnesota. But hopefully he doesn't

615
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 5: just defer to the veterans all the time and take

616
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 5: some shots from back there. But they have some pieces

617
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 5: to make the power play work. Here's what I'll tell you.

618
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: For me, I think what's really underrated and what could

619
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: really help. I think the crowd can be a major

620
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: influence on the power play. And as long as they

621
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: continue to say shoot, shoot, shoot, and then the team

622
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: the team listens, and then and then they follow that lead,

623
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: I think we'll score more because you cannot score if

624
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: you don't shoot.

625
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: You can use that next time. The TENE. Fitzgerald set

626
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: sail shoot me. I don't know, because I just love shooting.

627
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 5: You know, it's going to get me going, yes, and

628
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 5: then then the emailers or the texters are going to

629
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 5: chime in. Shoot, try to get me going more.

630
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: Shoot, shoot shoot.

631
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 5: I still remember last year in the playoffs, zeb Booyam,

632
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 5: fresh out of the University of Denver, playing in like

633
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 5: his first ever playoff game, and the puckets to the

634
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 5: point we're yelling for him to shoot. It's like, come on, guys,

635
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 5: shoot shoot. There's almos a Hobe Baker winner over here.

636
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you it's going to be if you

637
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: don't shoot.

638
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 5: Just let them calm down and relax like a hockey player.

639
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. Just answer yes or no.

640
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: If you don't shoot the puck, can you score?

641
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 5: Well technically you could, but unlikely. It's right, So there

642
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 5: you go.

643
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: So you have to shoot. Get them.

644
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: Quit the little fancy passing back and forth and trying

645
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: to make oh look at how we can look, how

646
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: we handle the pocket, the way we can throw it.

647
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: You know, we can go. Is it tape to tape?

648
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: Do they say that? How do they say it?

649
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 5: Question?

650
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 3: For you?

651
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

652
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 5: I know, I'm really on the obscene side of this

653
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 5: logic here, But if the whole goal is just to

654
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 5: shoot because you can't score if you don't shoot it,

655
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 5: When you have the puck at your own blue line,

656
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 5: should you just shoot? Well, no, there's there's some nuance

657
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 5: to it. You want to get to an area where

658
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 5: you get to a quality shot.

659
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: Well one year when you're in if you're just feeling,

660
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: you got to just and then you get to deflections

661
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: and the weird bounces in.

662
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: The puck lite.

663
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 5: What if no one's there for the deflection at that time,

664
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 5: then you got to hold on to it till you

665
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 5: get someone to get third deflection, find some new players.

666
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 5: What's fast? What if the shooting line is that open?

667
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: You got you just shoot?

668
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 4: Shoot?

669
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: The more you shoot, the better you do.

670
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: This one, says Faullness, introduced to guests, saying he wanted

671
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: to talk about the aren't wild and also the glory years?

672
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Is that a pest that I somehow missed the wild

673
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: glory years? They had a glory year, they had a

674
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: glory year. Yeah, I don't remember that. I don't remember

675
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: the glory years of the Wild.

676
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 5: And it's a twenty five year anniversary. Bit because it's

677
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: okay there, it's the Wild twenty five year anniversary, so

678
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: everyone's doing like they're all twenty twenty five Wild teams.

679
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 2: One uh one trip to the finals? Did they have

680
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: a final finals?

681
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: Right?

682
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: One trip to the co That was back in three

683
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: though it.

684
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 5: Was one of our least talented teams. Yes, was that

685
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 5: three oh three?

686
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: That was the year and that was.

687
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: Uh who was a coach then?

688
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: And remind me Lamaire was kind of really just defensive

689
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: conservative just is that.

690
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 5: Was his what was his Yes, I mean Jacques Lamaire

691
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 5: won multiple Stanley Cups as the New Jersey Devil's head coach,

692
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 5: and he basically, I don't want to say invented, but

693
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 5: perfect did the neutro zone trap where we're going to

694
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 5: clog everything up in the neutral zone and make it

695
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: a challenging for you to get to in the offensive zone. So, yes,

696
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 5: he was a defense first coach, but he also liked

697
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 5: players that played with speed, Like he kind of revitalized

698
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 5: West Wallas's career, who didn't know how much more of

699
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: a chances he had at playing in the National Hockey League.

700
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 5: He kind of liked having the fast, speedy guys that

701
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 5: could also, you know, attack you and be aggressive, but

702
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: be able to get back and be a respect If

703
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 5: you weren't responsible defensively, you're gonna have a hard time

704
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 5: finding the lineup.

705
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: So he believed, I guess had defense wins championships.

706
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like me I and they worked for him. Yeah,

707
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: it worked for him with and that was with the

708
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: Where where did he win those titles? New Jersey, New

709
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Jordan with the Devils. Okay, well that's the.

710
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 5: Thing too, you get you could look back at the

711
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 5: first five six years of Wild Hockey and go Jacques

712
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 5: Lamira was one of the best coaches in hockey, but

713
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 5: he almost was so good that you're you're your organization

714
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 5: never got off to the start that a expansion organization

715
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 5: should because they are almost too competitive. Where they weren't

716
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 5: getting you know, you didn't go that three four years

717
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: of getting top five picks and building up, you know,

718
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 5: chances of getting stars because they were they were always

719
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 5: good enough to at least be you know, a middling

720
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 5: team under jacqueslamer So they never bottomed out. I shouldn't

721
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 5: say never, but they also didn't hit on the draftics

722
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 5: they had.

723
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: So he's the reason we only had a glory year

724
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 2: rather than glory year.

725
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. So he was too good of a coach that

726
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 5: the Wild werey mediocre team and they weren't Bottoming hi

727
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 5: Ount and getting top five picks where you have shots at,

728
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 5: you know, the Sidney Crosby's of the world and the

729
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 5: Patrick Kines and the Jonathan Tow's and the Connor McDavid's,

730
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,959
Speaker 5: those types of players we weren't never getting a shot

731
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 5: at because we were too high in the drift or

732
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 5: too low in the drafting, whatever you want to call it.

733
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: So he is he out of the league.

734
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 5: Yes, he did. Yeah, he's out because he.

735
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: Just age right, just aged out. I decided I've had it.

736
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been around a long time. He's a hockey genius.

737
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 5: Can we lure him out of retirement? I mean, I

738
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 5: like I like Hines, but I don't just like Hines. Actually,

739
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 5: I don't know what what age Jacques Lamire is at

740
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 5: this point. But he was a hell of a player too,

741
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know if him in a Caprice

742
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 5: apage along.

743
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 2: He was a hell of a player. Oh yeah, played

744
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 2: for the Hall of Famer, played for the Canadians.

745
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's eighty years old now.

746
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess once you when you get to that,

747
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 2: I mean it's like it.

748
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: Means you could still he's got the good life. Now, yeah,

749
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 5: you could still coach.

750
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean there's not really an age limit on coaching.

751
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 5: But yeah, once you've just well, the game has changed

752
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 5: a lot since he coached, So I don't know if

753
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 5: you'd be able to adjust to that or not.

754
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: Uh so you're I guess. And your final prediction?

755
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: Do you think?

756
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: Are we a fringe team?

757
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, they're okay, last one in, last one out

758
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 5: kind of thing. Okay, like the March madness when they

759
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: project the brackets and then they'll have like the last

760
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 5: four in, last four out projections. I think they're going

761
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 5: to be in that range. Yeah, I'd love to be surprised.

762
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 5: I was surprised last year when you know, mid December

763
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 5: we're talking about them being the second best record hockey.

764
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 5: That happens. Yes, I don't like the The fact that

765
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: we already have some injuries to start off the season

766
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 5: is not encouraging with Zukarello and looks like Sterm might

767
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 5: miss up to two months now.

768
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 2: Two months, yeah, six eight weeks. I saw you see

769
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: lower or upper I don't even remember and.

770
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: They Yeah, that's still one of the oddest things. And

771
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: I guess I think you've told me. The logic is,

772
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: if you guys, you don't want to let anybody know

773
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: the exact a body part that's hurt because the other

774
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: team will trying to.

775
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: Cheap shot them.

776
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: Ye, yes, let's target them. Yeah, target them. But yeah,

777
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: they never tell you it's just either lower or upper body.

778
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 2: So there you go.

779
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 5: So then so then we're always we never have an

780
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,200

782
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: Though the wol he's he can't predict the while because

783
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: of the possibility of injuries, so it's just too hard

784
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: to predict where how they'll do.

785
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: But he he's firmly convinced that the Wolves will.

786
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: Finish second in the in the Western Conference finals, even

787
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,960

Speaker 1: he's got them as Uh.

789
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,480

00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 5: West last year just based off of getting the conference final,

791
