1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You can make the argument that we'd be better off

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: just continuing to play the reverend Al Green on a loop,

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: interrupted only when the next goal is scored.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: Gold Medal Game, US Olympic Hockey.

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I should say just Olympic Hockey USA VERSUS Canada, because

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: we might be speaking into an echo.

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: Chamber today, but that's okay. We're used to that.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: We kind of mystery science theater our way through it,

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: if at all possible. Good morning to our edition of

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Sermons Barrero and a very distracted Blakemore with you until

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock, third period of the Gold Medal Game Olympic

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Hockey on the final day of Olympic competition. Live right now,

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Canada one USA one, nineteen twelve to go in the

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: third period. Here's my directive to you, there are there's

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: been the occasional Sunday when you have been distracted by

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: soccer where you pretend to not be but I can

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: see how you. You know, you kind of glance up and

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: then you're back, and then if your team scores, you

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: can't help yourself even during the middle of the show, and.

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: You let loose.

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: Today, I'm going to give you permission to keep one

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: eye thank you on the action because one of us

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: needs to. It's more difficult for me to do that

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: all the time because generally I'm going to be speaking,

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: so we're going to need translation when I assume there's

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 1: going to be a next goal scored, And so.

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Every once in a.

28
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: While, fake it with like you say, one of those

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: well you just did it once, one of those disingenuous

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: fake laughs.

31
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: There's another one to make me. Oh no, can't. Oh

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: I thought that was a goal, so did the crowd

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: behind the net. I don't know how it wasn't. So

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: we'll keep you updated on.

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had some good events around Sermon's time,

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: or good stuff to react to. I don't remember us

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: quite being in this position on sermons Gold Medal game

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: USA Canada, where the timing is that perfect, Oh my goodness,

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Oh say, saved by your guy Canada within a micro

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: inch of going ahead two to one. But your guy

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: a Hella buck with just with a stick, right, he

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: just got enough of a stick on it.

43
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: Who was that? Who was I think it was? I

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: think it was Tag. Yeah, that's exactly it.

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: It feels like if we were to have a conversation

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 3: with Abbott and he'd go, yeah, you don't want to

47
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 3: do play by play radio unless it's like USA Canada.

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 4: Yah.

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: We've learned over the years that that's the rule, that's

51
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: the cardinal rule of radio. You don't, in a sense,

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: remind people that there's something else going on.

53
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: But who are we kidding.

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: On the other hand, we I think over the years

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: we've figured out it is what it is. We'll have

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: some people, I know, we'll have some people listing after

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the third period. Well unless the game goes in ot

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: which is certainly very possible, which would be you could say,

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: almost apropos. But we'll stay on it, and we'll also

60
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: eventually have Luigi Bonus. Louie is going to join the

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: program today. We may add a guest or two more.

62
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: The branch on Brian Caffein text Line, as always is

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: open at six four six eighty six.

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: Actually it looks like I got to reboot it.

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never know when it's got to be rebooted,

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: and now it does. And that means I got to

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: go through I got to get my verification code, which

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: means I got to go back to my own email.

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: These are the trials and tribulations that we have going

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: these days because apparently of very tight security issues, something

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: needs more protection. Apparently the text line apparently, well, yeah,

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: what happened there.

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: You can't just do a noise. You got to do

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: what happened to create the noise.

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: Your reaction was that a near miss for the The

76
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: US almost scored it?

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the US almost scored There was a point shot

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: that kind of trickled in and bidding to that no

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: idea where it was.

80
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: All right, do you buy the notion because most of

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the second period I was traveling, I saw all period

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: one at home, So do you buy the notion that

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: it was Canada's period almost start to finish, that they

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: did have the much better of the play through much

85
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: of the second period?

86
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Do you agree with that?

87
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially once they got the five on three. Yeah,

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: that really turned things around, and the US were kind

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: of scrambling for a while and they're icing, but they're

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: still doing it now where they're just scrambling and trying

91
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: to get pucks out of the zone. And but the

92
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: problem is now that they've tied the game. You can

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: only do that for so long and just play keep

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: away and I keep icing it.

95
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: Before you got to score your own goal here.

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: So I thought it was pretty I thought it was

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: even until the five on three and then it started

98
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: turned Yeah, it's exactly it.

99
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if the US goes on to win

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: this thing, I think we'll probably look back in the

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: five three as being key in that. I think it

102
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: was like ninety three seconds, maybe a little longer than that.

103
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: It was five one three that they Canada did not

104
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: score despite having good scoring opportunities. It all kind of

105
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: depends on the way it goes from this point forward.

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: And you know, it is A lot has been made

107
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: about the fact that this is the anniversary of the

108
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: miracle on ice. I mentioned a couple times over the

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: last few weeks. The attempt to compare whatever is taking

110
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: place today in any way, shape or form to that

111
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: event is ludicrous. I understand the temptation. It's cool, it

112
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: sounds fun, but one thing has zero to do with

113
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the other other than you can argue we haven't won

114
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: a gold medal since no matter who's playing, whether it's

115
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: kids or adults, or or or seniors, whatever the case

116
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: may be. And well we only have two I'll break away.

117
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: Oh no, I save Well, there's your story. Like you said,

118
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: if again, if the US holds on, we are reminded

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: once again of how a goaltender can tilt the ice

120
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 1: in the other way on an occasion, on occasion where

121
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: it appears that the team in front of him has

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: been utterly and completely dominating shots on goal. Right now,

123
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: Canada thirty three, United States of America seventeen. Can you

124
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: imagine how crazed and nervous Bill Garon.

125
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 4: Is right now?

126
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine what he's up to at this point.

127
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure he felt pretty good when they killed that

128
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: five on three. He probably did.

129
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, who needs Robertson now there's no questioned penalty killer,

130
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: there's no question.

131
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Where were we here? Oh, here already watching game on mute,

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: listening to you.

133
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: That's from Dave. I appreciate that day. Yeah, that's that's

134
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: perfect for us. But again, I know on a day

135
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: like this, you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm hoping,

136
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: at the very least, if you're not going to do

137
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: what Dave is doing, you'll come back to us later

138
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: for reaction, because we'll get the very best from from Louis.

139
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: He is prepared to join us once again.

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: Was that.

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: Celebrini.

142
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, on the break, Yeah, exactly, terrific save there.

143
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: In any case, there is going to be eventually, sadly,

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: one other track that we are I think obligated to

145
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: cover here, and it's a story that broke late last

146
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: night involving rondel Moore, who had I remember when the

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Vikings announced they were going to give him a shot,

148
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: a one year deal they were going to give him.

149
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: They said, you know, let's let's let's give the kid

150
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: a chance here to see if he can get healthy.

151
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Because his talent was never ever in question, ever elusive, versatile,

152
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: maybe a a multi purpose kind of a guy, a

153
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: great return guy as well, and what was there to

154
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: lose to bring him in as the Vikings did. And

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: then on his first kickoff return, first kickoff return, he

156
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: goes down to a significant acl tear. The folks who

157
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: were there said, you could hear his frustration as he's

158
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: being taken off on the cart. And so his season

159
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: ended really before it even had a chance to begin.

160
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: And the story broke last night that he was found

161
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: dead in his garage. Local authorities believe it was from

162
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: a self inflicted gunshot wound.

163
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: A story beyond horrific to think about. And we've from

164
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: time to time on this.

165
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: Show covered the subject of suicide with all of its ramifications.

166
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: The number of people we've occasionally had who've texted in

167
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: with us or called in saying sadly that they connected

168
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: to those kinds of stories, and it's the loss is incalculable,

169
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: regardless of whether you're talking about a football player or

170
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: a name that we know or one that we don't,

171
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: twenty five years of age, and there is, oddly, there's

172
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: the local angle involving his joining the Vikings this past season,

173
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: and there's also for me a local angle in that

174
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: I found out last night from my college buddy Rick Bozic,

175
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: frequent contributor to the program, that he had gotten to

176
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: know more because Ricky had had this horrific knee injury

177
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: that he was ankle injury, I should say that he

178
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: was recovering from mowing the lawn and they ended up

179
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: rehab going to the same rehab place that Moore did,

180
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: and he got to.

181
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Know him pretty well.

182
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: He said he saw him almost every day for for

183
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: five six seven weeks and was very impressed with just

184
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: the way he carried himself. The conversations that they had,

185
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: so for him it became even more connected in an

186
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: odd way that he might not ever have expected. The

187
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: number of NFL players that have weighed in endless, some

188
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: of them having said they had just spoken to him.

189
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: So we will be covering.

190
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: Some aspects of that story a little bit later as

191
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: as well. Brat Shawn Brian Taffey in text line is

192
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: open at six four six eighty six to the question

193
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: that I asked, Oh, actually guards He asked it Friday,

194
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: and I attempted to answer it, it's the age old.

195
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: Do the I think?

196
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: We also asked level this does the US have to

197
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: if the US does not win the gold medal?

198
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: Is this a failed run?

199
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: I tend to hate those questions because they're always so oversimplified.

200
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: But what I said Friday before this game began was

201
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: that if it was set up at the front that

202
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Canada was clearly maybe the most talented team ever assembled

203
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: and a clear favorite, then it's difficult for me to

204
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: say that if the US loses to Canada in the

205
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: gold medal game that they are that this is a

206
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: failed project. I looked at it more like, well, let's

207
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: see how they play if the US loses by a

208
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: goal in this game that's playing right now, thirteen minutes

209
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: to go in the third period, then it's difficult for

210
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: me to say that the whole thing has just been

211
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: a disaster by any stretch. What I said was, if

212
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: you get dominated by Canada, maybe that's a different issue.

213
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: But where are you on the.

214
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: Whole issue of what constitutes failure, what constitutes success when

215
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: we all know you're here obviously to win the goal.

216
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not really interested in the moral victory

217
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: side of things, but I think if you if you

218
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: get dominated, the armchair gms come out and say where

219
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: was this guy?

220
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: Where was this guy? And Bill Geron's in the heat

221
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: of it, but.

222
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: I think he's so far been proven corrected now in

223
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: the past calendar year and change.

224
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: Whenever the four nations face off ward.

225
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: This is the third game they've played against each other

226
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: with more or less the same players, and they've played,

227
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: you know, stride for stride. I get the shots on

228
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: Gold don't look very good, but I would argue the

229
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: possession in the time and attack are probably a little

230
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: bit closer than that.

231
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: They can play right with them, So I would I

232
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: don't know.

233
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to say it wasn't a failure, and

234
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: it's great and silver shines just as much as SHD finishes.

235
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of a lot of it's

236
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: in the details of how it goes. Because you could

237
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: also argue Canada has not looked as dominant as they

238
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: were projected, right, They've looked They've had to come from

239
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: behind the last two rounds yep to win. So there's

240
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: a lot of ways to look at it. But you

241
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: can't really ask for much more than you have despite

242
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: the shots on gold differential.

243
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's a one to one game.

244
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: So if you're the US, you're sitting there going that

245
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: doesn't make We're half basically halfway through the third period

246
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: of the gold medal game and we are one play

247
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: away from at least taking the lead. That's pretty much

248
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: I think all you can ask for. Let's get our

249
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: first pause in now two hour addition of sermons. As

250
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned, eventually Louis will join us after this game.

251
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to several of your texts and we'll get

252
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: to some other a couple of other stories as well.

253
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Back in just a minute, right here in the fact,

254
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: we are back Sunday sermons.

255
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Burrow and blakemore with you until eleven o'clock tonight the

256
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Canada domination continues. I mean there's two ways to look

257
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: at it, Blake Moore.

258
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: One is if the I mean it's very clear.

259
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if the US finds a way to still

260
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: win this game, it will be it'll all be about

261
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: the goaltending, and it'll be about the number for Canada

262
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: will be how did we dominate the action to the

263
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: degree we did without getting multiple goals, let alone not one.

264
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: And then the other. In the case of the.

265
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: On the US side, it would be obviously, you know know, goaltending,

266
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: and you just you don't care what the shot differential is.

267
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: You just find will you US? Power play coming up?

268
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: Great opportunity. So and we're down now, well it's a

269
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: delayed penalty, right, so there's going to be that's the whistle.

270
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: So six thirty four to play us. This is it

271
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: power play, and here's your chance, right, here's your opportunity

272
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: to to get the thing done and and reduce this

273
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: game to as.

274
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: Trying to say there should be a double.

275
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: What's the I don't know what the international rule is

276
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: on what's the call?

277
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Do we know what the college it was?

278
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: A high stick in the corner on Jack Hughes. They're

279
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: not showing the replay yet, but he was barking. Hughes

280
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: was barking the refs as right, yeah, there it is.

281
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. That is not good.

282
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: Let's say, here's the right to the face. Yeah, that's

283
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: not good. So we get at least two and we'll

284
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: see if there's anything more. It's a double minor, double minor.

285
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. There it is.

286
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: There's well, now, of course you have to make good

287
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: on this opportunity.

288
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: Again earlier was it a period two?

289
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: US survived a five to three disadvantage successfully for over

290
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: ninety seconds, so it does end up being a four

291
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: minute As you said, double double minor.

292
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: This has got to be a Quinn Hughes takeover. He

293
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't think he's left the ice in the third period,

294
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: has he?

295
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: He's been out there a lot. Everybody predicted that would

296
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: be the case. It makes all the sense in the

297
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: in the world. He's got another assist in this game, right,

298
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: he kept his his point total, I think so. I

299
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: think he did on the US's only goal early before

300
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: McCart tied it. As I mentioned, Louis I know, is

301
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: watching nervously. I think he's in Florida. He's going to

302
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: join us up after the program and the bratchewn Brian

303
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Cafe in text Line is open at six four six

304
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: eight six. They're showing the requisite celebrity athlete shots in

305
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: the crowd, which makes some sense. I think they showed

306
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: a little while ago. Mikayla Schiffrin is there. I believe

307
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: they noted that a bunch of members of the gold

308
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: medal winning US women's hockey team there as well.

309
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: Have we gotten a shot on goal yet yet? Yeah?

310
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean we're we're setting up nicely. Yeah, yeah, exactly it.

311
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. So the puck goes across the crease,

312
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: but then no one's there to do to grab the rebound.

313
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: Is what it looked like on that play. So now

314
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: we're back to Canada controlling at center ice.

315
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: They have to pressure this.

316
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no question about that. I'm listening to Dan

317
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: too much adrenaline too early. I'm peaking between my thinkers.

318
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: I cannot bear to watch watching on you listening to

319
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: the show. This game is absolutely peak intensity. Hughes and

320
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Hellibuck are playing their tails off that's from Nate. Well, again,

321
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean we've this is a subject that we've covered

322
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: a great deal of, but.

323
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: The Quinnesota phenomenon.

324
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: I think it's almost like with every day that goes by,

325
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: you feel like, what at the time the deal was

326
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: made seemed like a lot to give up. You almost

327
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: look at it now as a steal because he has

328
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: just been We see it game after game in subtle ways,

329
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: his ability to control the action, and we've certainly seen

330
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: it up close and personal here.

331
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: As well in the in the in the Olympics.

332
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: So all that certainly bodes well for the present for

333
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: the Minnesota while the question is will it bode well

334
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: in the in the future. So we're down to what

335
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: do we got down to a minute and a half

336
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: on the four minute double minor? We've had maybe what

337
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: one and a half decent scoring chances? Zyr To say, yeah,

338
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: not exactly. I don't think we've peppered. Oh no, lost

339
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: what happened there? Lost the pop?

340
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: What happened in the corner there or on the side

341
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: looked like a trip.

342
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: So it's on the US delayed penalty on the US. Lovely,

343
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: that can't happen. Yeah, No, that can't happen, and uh.

344
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 3: If if the US goes on to lose this game,

345
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: that's the power player stress there it is.

346
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question, there's no question about that.

347
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: There's when when it's a game that's this tight, this intense,

348
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: you can already sort of set up, depending again on

349
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: who wins or loses, what the key element of the

350
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: story indeed might be. As we said, if the US

351
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: still wins, it'll be the ability to withstand the five

352
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: on three in the middle period. So it all depends

353
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: on on all of that.

354
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: But it uh, oh yeah, I stick actually yeah, right

355
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: from the Lees brother jeff Man, Yeah, that was definite.

356
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: That was a no doubt about her about it kind

357
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: of kind of call there.

358
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: The the folks who do have are who are occasionally

359
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: listening to us and then occasionally turning the sound back up,

360
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: say that, and you're hearing this from people in the

361
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: building that for sheer intensity, speed drama that you're not

362
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: really gonna get. You're gonna have a hard time finding

363
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: any better hockey hockey display than what you're seeing right now. Again,

364
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: third period, three and a half minutes to go, and

365
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: it's one to one for the gold medal.

366
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: Now did you. I can't remember you say your pro

367
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: con three three?

368
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

369
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: I think in a game of this magnitude it should

370
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: be five on five. Yes, yeah, I think in general too,

371
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: over the course of a long NHL season.

372
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: Why not do it? Because we know the why not?

373
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Was there any discussion We'll talk to Louis about this

374
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: about all right, make it three on three except for

375
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: the gold medal gamer, is that considered too much of

376
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: a departure from what you've done up till then in

377
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: the tournament?

378
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: I think that stuff's overrated Personally, I think you can

379
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: hockey as hockey and five on five is. Yeah, it's

380
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: a different game, but it's the one you were playing

381
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: for three periods exactly.

382
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you now again.

383
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: I know you know some people have gotten you obviously

384
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: see a lot of action in the three on three,

385
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: but I just don't feel like even going back to

386
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: regular I get it in the regular season a little

387
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: bit more again because it's one of eighty two trouble

388
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: But McDavid he already failed on one breakaway earlier in

389
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: the game, though, didn't he and they and they fedted

390
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: him off nicely. Yeah, this is this is nerve wracking.

391
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: There's no quote. If we could do a live listening,

392
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: we would, but we can't. That's unfortunately we don't have

393
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: that kind of partnership, so we indeed would.

394
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: Louis not in Milano. I'm shocked. No, he's not. He

395
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: gave us his real what part of it is.

396
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: He's been to all of them, for God's sake, and

397
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: I think he's reached a point where he doesn't mind.

398
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: Just it's not like he hasn't experienced it as you know,

399
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: as a player, has experienced it, as a commentator, experienced

400
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: it as a fan, et cetera. So at this point,

401
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: I think he was just another blast from right in front.

402
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: Of the hell a buck. All right, let's do this.

403
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 2: Let's pause.

404
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, maybe we go to the Maybe

405
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: we go we cheat to forty two today, because that

406
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: way we can be on the air for at least

407
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: what would be the end of regulation. We're inside two

408
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: minutes to go and this so thirty seconds left in

409
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: the powerplay for Canada and they are controlling the puck.

410
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, very close, ends up going to the

411
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: left of Hella Buck. They're forty to twenty six. Now shots,

412
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm going they can't clear. To me, I still can't clear.

413
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: This is the Billy G moment. You've you've got a

414
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: penalty kill. You have to kill.

415
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: And these are the guys to brock Nelson's the tro chests,

416
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 3: ye right, those are the guys that he finally did clear.

417
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: Yep, And there's your power. Polly is done. So we

418
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: got a minute twenty with even steven action full strength.

419
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: We're a minute and change from overtime in the gold

420
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: medal hockey game. And it's it's twenty minutes, right. I

421
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: think the first overtime is twenty minutes the game too, yes, right,

422
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: because it's it is longer. So if I texted, if

423
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: I called Billy G now not texted, I call them,

424
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: do you think do you think he'd answer?

425
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm guessing probably not. I think so. I bet.

426
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: My guess is he's if he's smart, he didn't even

427
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: have his phone on right now.

428
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: That would be the the best way to do it.

429
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: So what we'll do is, yeah, we'll take this into

430
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: the intermission if indeed it ends in a tie and

431
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: we're inside now forty seconds, and that will give us

432
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: a chance to regroup with this game as well. Canada

433
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: making one last rush here. Nothing's going to happen, is it.

434
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: I guess you can never say that.

435
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still they pay Matthews. Is that right, Matthew?

436
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: Okay, still dangerous now that the puck back at center ice. So,

437
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, the Luigi has promised to join.

438
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: Us as soon as this game is done. You know

439
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: what we might do no icing no icing here, So

440
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: there it is.

441
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll text Louis and see if we can get

442
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: a short version of Louis on the other side of

443
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: this break. And because there is now going to be

444
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: a decent intermission, correct, Yeah, because when they come back

445
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: it will be twenty minutes of three on three. We'll

446
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: work on that and to prepare for other items as

447
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: well when we return. All right, let's not delay Canada

448
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: us in the break preparing for an historic overtime event

449
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: one to one and to give us help maybe twice

450
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: today eventually, I hope after the conclusion of this game,

451
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: no matter how long it goes. But now to give

452
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: us reaction going into the OT, Luigi kind enough to

453
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: give us an extra time via the Connectico Water Systems hotline. Louis,

454
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: Let's get to the important stuff first, what Usually you're

455
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: fairly superstitious at a time like this, So were there

456
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: any superstition related maneuvers that you've already taken part in

457
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: before we start the start of this conversation.

458
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: I wouldn't sit in across my eggs and I had

459
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 4: just that.

460
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna put Louis back on hole. We got

461
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: some some unfortunate cell phone just talk issues. I know,

462
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: you never know. Maybe he's pacing, maybe he needs to

463
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: stay like in one place.

464
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: Check.

465
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: Now, let's let's try it one more time. We'll try

466
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: it one more time, Louis, Let's try again. The signal

467
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden got very sketchy.

468
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 4: Well that's maybe because I moved. Here you go, now,

469
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 4: he said, Like I said to tell my wife will

470
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 4: get me water, because I said, you know, I can't

471
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 4: move the way I'm sitting now. I crossed my legs

472
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 4: and I'm uh frozen, like I turned the salt.

473
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: All right, So here we are, man, I mean, what

474
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: else can you ask for right?

475
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: Over? Time?

476
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 4: No?

477
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 2: In the gold medal game between the United States and Canada, Well, then.

478
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 4: Would be saying exactly what I was asking for over

479
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 4: because we were getting up big, badly in the third period,

480
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: and and uh, you keep going like that, and you

481
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 4: know it's just a matter of time they're gonna get

482
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 4: a goal, right, and so I just get the overtime. Yep,

483
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 4: then we got a chance. They got great Fireparwer. We

484
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 4: all know that. But what we have to remember is

485
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: so those UFCA they got some real good guys at

486
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 4: three and three as well. So it should be a

487
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: wide open overtime. But gives us a chance to have

488
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: some offense, which we didn't have going until late in

489
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: that third period.

490
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: Are you I know we've talked about this before a

491
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: lot of textures have said this should be five on five.

492
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: Obviously they're not going to change the rules.

493
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: Now refresh my memory on where you are regarding the

494
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: three on three decision. And rather than the you know,

495
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: the regular hockey that we're accustomed to, I.

496
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: Like the regular hockey. I like five and five and

497
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 4: play it, you know, just continue the game like has been.

498
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 4: I think that really, when you got something at this

499
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: level and teams at this level, I think you've got

500
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: to play it out and let the team whoever's wins

501
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: in five and five is to me, is more deserving

502
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 4: than three and three do you know.

503
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: If at any point, whether there was any discussion among

504
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: the Olympics people have to make these kinds of decisions too. Okay,

505
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: if you want to go three on three through the

506
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: tournament for whatever reason's fine. But when we get to

507
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: the gold medal game, make it five on five. Was

508
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: that ever under consideration?

509
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: Do you know? Well, it wasn't the consideration. You can

510
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 4: tell by the fact that now they're going to twenty minutes, right,

511
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 4: the gold medal is a twenty.

512
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: Minutes, That's true.

513
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 4: Three on three were the ones before that are ten

514
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: minutes and they knew that. You know, the odds are

515
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: ninety nine percent that somebody's going to score in twenty

516
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: minutes and three and three and still what you're saying, yeah,

517
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: the discussion, but real discussion should have been, is this

518
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: how you want the Olympics to be won or lost?

519
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: And if the NHL we're voting, it would be five

520
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: and five.

521
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Does three on three give even more of an advantage

522
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: to Canada given its fire firepower?

523
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: You know, I say no, even though given its firepower

524
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 4: they can only put two of those three guys. Sure,

525
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 4: and I'm talking about McDavid McKinnon, Celebrini on the one

526
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: time plus the best that first time, you got to

527
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: really check them because if it's McDavid saying Celebrini and

528
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: then they'll have McCarran defense, So that's going to be

529
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 4: really tough to stop. But at the same time, you know,

530
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 4: you've got Matthews, you got Icled, you've got Quinn Hughes,

531
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: you've got Boldie, You've had a number of weally good

532
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: three and three guys too, and for the USK and

533
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 4: and the question is you look at all the firepower, Yes,

534
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: but they don't have the puck who's going to play

535
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: defense for those three for Canada? And that's maybe why

536
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 4: Canada's got a chance. I mean us got a chance

537
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: because their defense of those three and three is not

538
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: as good as say, some of the forwards that they

539
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 4: have that they're more into a plain defense, you know,

540
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: used to covering man more than the stars are.

541
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: The bold It feels like ancient history now. But the

542
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Boldie goal, that's it's hard to be any prettier than

543
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: that particular score, right.

544
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: You know what's funny, Dan, I don't know if you

545
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 4: saw it, but I thought they replayed Abbey Murphy from

546
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: the University. She pulled that earlier this year, and then

547
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: she didn't score, but she had to reach her one

548
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 4: hand and knocked it over to her shouldn't pass over

549
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 4: to her line me to put it in to win

550
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 4: a big game. That was the same playing farantine. I said,

551
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 4: that's the same play Abby Murphy game. Maybe Boldie saw her,

552
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: was inspired, you know, in the cities, and tried it.

553
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: But that was a phenomenal movie. He's a phenomenal player.

554
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 4: And the fact that he was able to do that

555
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 4: against two of the better defensemen in the world, one

556
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: that's considered the best kill mccarr and then Daves was

557
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 4: an unbelievable play.

558
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: So give me a so of what you think is

559
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: likely goes on in a locker room at times like

560
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: these or at a time like this.

561
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 4: Well, you know what you first of all, you got

562
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: to just get the nerves down, you know, sit down

563
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 4: and relax, get your confidence back. I think that and

564
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 4: Brady and Brady could chuck with you saw him on

565
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 4: the thing. You know, be confident, be confident, because to me,

566
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 4: they were playing little nervous in the third piers. I

567
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 4: hope they just you know, remember you remember your ability,

568
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 4: Remember you can play. You know you can't be watching,

569
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: You've got to be playing. And and I'm sure right

570
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 4: now they're talking about one of us is going to

571
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: win this game. Who's going to be you know, just

572
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: remember the basics. Get control of the puck, make good plays,

573
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: don't get out numbered, and make sure somebody's always back.

574
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: You know, you just you can't quit thinking defense at

575
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: this stage of the game because if you do, game's

576
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: going to be over fast. When you aren't paying attention

577
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 4: to defense, you're going to give up some chances if

578
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: you don't score.

579
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: If if the US does go on to win, this

580
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: thing is helli buck going to be the story.

581
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: Oh far and away. Yeah. Yeah. He's been absolutely mind

582
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 4: boggling sensational. I'd say it's been the best game of

583
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 4: his life because he's never played a more pressure game

584
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: than this, and he's never and he's got over forty

585
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 4: shots and some of the staves were just flat out impossible.

586
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: Well the one with Tays where it was just he

587
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: just got enough of the stick on the puck that

588
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: that's the one that stands out.

589
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: He's had a bunch, that's the one that stands out

590
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: to me.

591
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: That's easily one of the best days I've ever seen

592
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: in my life, because that was a wide open net

593
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: and for him to react like he did, you know,

594
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 4: he reminds me of Tony Answins. You have said to me,

595
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 4: I says, what do you all think about? Never give up?

596
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: He said, till the pucks past, he says, never wit playing.

597
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: And that's what Heliviic did there. He never gave up.

598
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: He never quit playing, and and he kept moving and

599
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: you know, reaching for pucks, stuff in pucks. I mean,

600
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: how could anything be more exciting than his games? The

601
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: show they put on, the speed, the intensity, and I

602
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: really like the way the official let him play. You

603
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 4: know that that's what you like to see. And that's

604
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: why you knew that they were going to be you know,

605
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: the finish line linesmen there, but basically the NHL referees

606
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: there because the teams would want that.

607
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: Do you have Are you suffering any fomal that you're

608
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: not there? There's still some textures you said, I can't

609
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: believe Louie's not there.

610
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 4: No, you know, right now, I'm actually happy I'm here,

611
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 4: sitting here. I could yell and do everything I want.

612
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 4: You know, doing that right? Be quite right?

613
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: Your building, that's too good is.

614
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: By the way, is Garren has crazed from his booth

615
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: as you have you tend to be when you're watching

616
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: a game in person.

617
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: No. In fact, I told him one time, I just

618
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 4: I can't believe you. How do you do that? I said,

619
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: I really envy you to me. I mean, he just

620
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 4: I don't know why he does it.

621
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: Well, what's funny is as volatile as he is or

622
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: can be. That that's that's the stunning part.

623
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It's very very true.

624
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: Uh, I appreciate the the extra time. I want to

625
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: give you a minute or two to get prepped, get acclimated,

626
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: maybe go p if you have to, and then we'll

627
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: hopefully check in after this thing is over.

628
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: Louis, thanks so much for the can't move that's right,

629
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 2: That's right. So I was gonna say, I hope your

630
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: bladder holds in.

631
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 4: Thank you.

632
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:45,959
Speaker 2: We'll talk later.

633
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Lou Nanny checking in giving us a little help as

634
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: we prepare for overtime the gold medal game Men's hockey

635
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: Canada one, United States one, And as Louis reminds us,

636
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: it's a twenty minute period and we keep going if

637
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: we have to after that. But it's twenty minute period,

638
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 1: so we've had the rest time in between players coming

639
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: back out on the ice now as we speak, and

640
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: Louis also says, yeah, I would like to see.

641
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: Five on five, but that's the material at this point.

642
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: It's it's they're not going to change the rules now

643
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: it is three on three, So we'll see, indeed, how

644
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: this thing goes. Let me know where you're listening from,

645
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: because I've had a couple of good exotic locations offered

646
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: up brat Shawn Bryant caffan text line that is six

647
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: four six eighty six. This is from Nate. Wow, I

648
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: need a cigarette. I'll have one for Brett as well.

649
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: Are you going going to worry if we don't win

650
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: the gold, Quinn will have a letdown and our season

651
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: will be lost. Asking for a long suffering Minnesota sports fan,

652
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: I'd say calm down, wouldn't put I wouldn't connect too

653
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: many dots yet, but I understand that's the psychology of

654
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: your average Minnesota sports fan. Dan watching the game in

655
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: Aruba at a beach front bar, back packed with fans

656
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: cheering on the US, listening to the show on iHeart

657
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: of course, loyal listener Ryan from minnetaka which we much appreciate.

658
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm listening too much adrenaline early, I'm peeking between my fingers,

659
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: cannot bear to watch. Those are a lot of people

660
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: apparently watching the game on mute and still paying attention

661
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to us. So the plan is to get as I said,

662
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: to get Louis after this thing is over.

663
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: But then again, when it's good, when is it going

664
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: to end? Who knows?

665
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: Do we know what the longest hockey game is an

666
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: Olympic history.

667
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

668
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we may find out before so then against

669
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: three on three, right, so it I have.

670
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: A feeling we're not going to get another intermission. Yeah,

671
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right about that.

672
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: Dan taking a cold walk with the dog around Lake Harriet.

673
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: So I'm one hundred percent focused on the show. Could

674
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: you step up the effort? Wow, that's vicious. I started

675
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: the game thirty minutes late to fast forward through most breaks.

676
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: I'm now a couple minutes behind live action.

677
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: As sermons started, You and Blake Moore both gasps at

678
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 1: the near goal at the same time I did, which we.

679
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: Were SYNCD up. The only thing we could that could.

680
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: Top this listening experience would be badcasting sermons during a

681
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Vikings game and ripping Koc for not running the ball

682
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: really in real time.

683
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: That's from flim flam As as well.

684
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: So we're just about to start the third period action,

685
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: as I said, well, they're all huge. Yeah, why in

686
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: this case it is You're right, there's no question about that,

687
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: with the way puck possession tends to work right in

688
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: three on three and looks like we got it.

689
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: Oh I thought we had it. We didn't. Canada has

690
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 2: does indeed have it.

691
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: We will be covering a very sad story later involving

692
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: Rondell Moore, the who is with the Vikings this past

693
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: season or preseason and the story breaking that he was

694
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: found dead in his garage. A horrible I'm sorry, that's okay, No, no,

695
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: I understand. It was a good scoring opportunity for the US.

696
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: There now now Canada back pressing the action. There's another

697
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: great save, a good save. I guess it's just it's

698
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: saying now Hillabuck freezes or grabs onto the puck as well.

699
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, this thing obviously now could pretty much end

700
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: at any minute.

701
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: And again, I I think.

702
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: When you get to this place, you're it's going to

703
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: be very doesn't God that was a good say wild

704
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: boldy to that's true. Yeah, well, you're right, that's true,

705
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: very good point. And if we have time, we might

706
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: cover a couple of other things, but I I'm gonna

707
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: assume that it's going to be fairly hockey centric, which

708
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: means we might add a couple of other guests as well.

709
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: The shot when I've had in the first period and

710
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: I was able to watch with the with the sound up,

711
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: the atmosphere looked like second to none in terms of

712
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: the in the building, in the arena. It looked absolutely outstanding,

713
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: and that probably shouldn't be at all surprising. I can't

714
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: tell in terms of like crowd support. Do you get

715
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: any sense when you when you had the sound up,

716
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: is it fifty to fifty? Is it a crowd rooting

717
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: for the US or what? Can you tell?

718
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: It seemed like maybe a hint towards Canada, but there

719
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: they were dueling chants, so I'd say there's a decent

720
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 3: support for both.

721
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm listening while driving an ub my uber love the hockey,

722
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: but a big day for local hoops. This is from

723
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: Jeff and Duluz Go for women could move dramatically in

724
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: the rankings up to an attorney four for attorney four seed,

725
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: a top four seed, Wolves could move to fourth. I

726
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: just will, my god, what what happened on the play?

727
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: I was looking down at the text line US wins.

728
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: Do we have a horn we can sound?

729
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: Oh?

730
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 2: I'll find see if you can find a horn?

731
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 4: Oh? My god?

732
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: And then can you try to slow it down and

733
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: tell me exactly? Lessen less than two minutes? Again, the

734
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: US takes the gold. And do we know what happened

735
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: on the plane? Did you we able to see it?

736
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

737
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: I was.

738
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: I don't even know how it rewents re rent. I

739
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 3: can't even talk beside yourself. One a fifty to fifty

740
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: puck and there was a trailer who came in. I

741
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: still don't even know who the goalscorer is?

742
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 2: Was it Jack Hughes? Unbelievable? Let's see if I can.

743
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: I assume they're going to show it here pretty soon.

744
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: My god.

745
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: The first time is nineteen first time and only third

746
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: time ever. Wow, there you have it. Hold on, Let's

747
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 1: see if I can find it. I'm looking for it.

748
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: That's one of the problems with doing the radio is

749
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: you cannot always you're occasionally looking down or looking at

750
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: other things.

751
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 2: Here's the Russo reporting.

752
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: Bill garon pump fisting to his family from his suite.

753
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes with the golden goal, Jack Hughes the first

754
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: for the United States since nineteen eighty, only the third

755
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: time in history, the other in nineteen sixty. It is

756
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes who gets makes history for the United States

757
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: of America.

758
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: And now I think we can say that.

759
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Even though I've suggested the links to the miracle Game

760
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: or miracle run are overdone, there does seem to be

761
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: something miraculous about the fact that the US was in

762
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: position to win this game in ot on the basis

763
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 1: of the number of scoring opportunities that Canada had.

764
00:41:58,960 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 2: And that gets back to.

765
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: The the number one star obviously has to be the

766
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: United States goaltender, without any question whatsoever. And look, the

767
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: beauty of this, probably as much as anything, and you

768
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: alluded to it earlier, is that the general manager, more

769
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: than I think most, was underheat from the moment he

770
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: selected this team.

771
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 4: Right.

772
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: The feeling was you left off too much firepower. Garren

773
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: was adamant and saying, I'm gonna do it my way.

774
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in parts to fit together. I'm more

775
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: interested I'm not interested in necessarily just going on sheer talent.

776
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 2: But he knew when he took the approach he did.

777
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: That he was going to be on the clock right

778
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: and that everybody was going to be waiting for this

779
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: team not to get it done. So he gets vindicated, validated,

780
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: and more than anything you could say to a large extent,

781
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: because of the goaltending, the well.

782
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: Look at we just talked about it with.

783
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: With Louis the save, the denying tays that's that's one

784
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: of the great saves you'll ever see in any game ever.

785
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: Just enough stick on it and can you describe the

786
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: play now?

787
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: Have you looked at it?

788
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 4: Yeah?

789
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: So it was a Renski who wins a fifty to

790
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 3: fifty battle with I don't know if Canada was changing right,

791
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: and then hughes the jack, hughes the trailer, he finds him,

792
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 3: beats Bennington glove side.

793
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: What a tremendous reaction and the reaction on the on

794
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: the in the both on the ice and in the

795
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: crowd just awesome, absolutely awesome, And you're seeing it right

796
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: in front of you. The infamous thrill of victory and

797
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: agony of defeat. You had basically the Canada players just

798
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: on the sidelines looking utterly and completely stoned face. So

799
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 1: pretty historic for the Sunday Sermons crew as well, because

800
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever had a live event to

801
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: discuss quite like this. For Sermons took a long long

802
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: Sermon's been around a long long time, so this is

803
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: kind of cool to have it where there's something, you know,

804
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: live breaking, particularly this magnitude. And let's face it, there's

805
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: no place in America that is going to appreciate and

806
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: savor what has taking place right now on the ice

807
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: than the Minnesota the Minneapolis Saint Paul Market as well.

808
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: So let's do this. Let's take a top of the

809
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: hour pause. We're going to try to add some guests

810
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: as well. I'm going to get some more Luigi for

811
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: his reaction after closer to get to Louis. You can

812
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: go pee now. I don't think you have to wait

813
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: any longer. And maybe we even add some others to

814
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: the mix. In our number two, the United States wins

815
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: the gold medal in Olympic men's hockey for the first

816
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: time since the miracle, which of course took place remarkably

817
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: in Lake Placid on this very date back in just

818
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: a minute. So forty six years ago today is when,

819
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: of course, the US knocked off the Soviet Union in

820
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: the semifinal get the Miracle game on the Miracle run.

821
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot else that's in common,

822
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: because it's such a different set of circumstances, and it's

823
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: what's always set apart what Herb Brooks and the gang

824
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: did back then.

825
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 2: But it needs to be remembered.

826
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: This is the first time since then, whether you're talking

827
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: about kids, whether you're talking about adults, that the US

828
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: ends the Winter Olympics with a gold medal, and to

829
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: help us better appreciate what we've just seen or heard,

830
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: depending on your point of view, Pat mclety kind of

831
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: enough to join us via the Connectico Water Systems hotline.

832
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: Will you help me out on one thing, because you

833
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: have to understand, well, you know that you would appreciate

834
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: this more than most. Once the goal is scored, Blake

835
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: Moore's gone. He's just he's got it. I mean, I

836
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: who scored?

837
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm looking.

838
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: I'm reading a text that's the danger in three on

839
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: three ever leaving this screen. But you kind of have

840
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: torry once in a while, So I got no idea, Uh,

841
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: what what's happening?

842
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 2: As well? Can you answer me this question?

843
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Who delivered the past to Hughes that led to the

844
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: the the game winning goal in ot Well.

845
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 5: In my opinion, the person who made the pass might

846
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 5: be the best defenseman out of all of them, and

847
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 5: that's Zach Wrensky. Beautiful, beautiful past.

848
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

849
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean he's and he was, he was, in

850
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: my opinion, their best defenseman in the tournament. Just just terrific.

851
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 5: And and he's had a terrific year with with Columbus.

852
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 5: But he's but he's in Columbus, right, So who's gonna

853
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 5: talk about him in Columbus? H and so? But but

854
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 5: just a terrific play.

855
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 2: So give me.

856
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: As you're watching this thing out, are you as the

857
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: games going on and even as you go into ot

858
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: are you optimistic more pessimistic on the basis of Canada

859
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: having so much of the action or what what are

860
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: you thinking going into o t I.

861
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 5: Didn't want it to go to I didn't want it

862
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 5: to go to OTU three on three with mccarr, McKinnon

863
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,959
Speaker 5: and mcgavid. I certainly didn't want that. I really thought,

864
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 5: I mean, Canada dominated the game. There's no question about it.

865
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 5: Anybody watching it. Uh. You know, the hero of the

866
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 5: game was Connor Hellibut. I mean he was he was terrific.

867
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 5: And where I thought the game turned dan because I

868
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 5: thought the US was in was in pretty good control

869
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 5: of the game. And and they killed off the five

870
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,479
Speaker 5: on three and their and their penalty kill and brock

871
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 5: Favor by the way, and the penalty kill was a monster,

872
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 5: just a monster. But but I thought the game kind

873
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 5: of changed even though the US killed it off. And

874
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 5: you think the momentum would go to the US after that,

875
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 5: I thought, I thought, that is when Canada took over,

876
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 5: even though they didn't score in the five on three,

877
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 5: that they they kind of started taking over the game.

878
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 5: And uh, and and and and I don't think the

879
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 5: US made the proper adjustments that they that they had

880
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 5: had to make. I thought, you know, I thought Jack Eichel,

881
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 5: I thought he needed another offensive player with him. I

882
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 5: thought maybe they should have moved boldly up to that

883
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 5: line and moved Matthew ku Chuck off of that line.

884
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 5: But you know, semantics. Right here, I am sitting on

885
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 5: the couch, couch watching one of the most intense games

886
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 5: that you're ever going to be playing in so but regardless,

887
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 5: you know, Connor Hallibuk was was different.

888
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 2: It's again to me, it is always.

889
00:48:53,840 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: It's what it crystallizes and confirms is the uniqueness of

890
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: the game of hockey in that that is the one

891
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: position go across any sport that can change everything. Right,

892
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: goaltender can literally change everything, no matter how the rest

893
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: of it seems predictable. No, no, the other they just

894
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: got too much going, too much pressure being created.

895
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: That that's the that's the antidope.

896
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: We see it, you know, decade after decade, which I

897
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 1: think is what makes hockey so great.

898
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, here's two things that you need. You need goaltending

899
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 5: and you need luck. I mean, if you saw the

900
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 5: Devon Taves who was right and had to tap in, Yes,

901
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 5: had a tap in goals and somehow it hits the

902
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 5: paddle of hell of book stick and missus buying in.

903
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 5: You know, you know, we call it a game of interest,

904
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 5: but that's pure luck on helli Buk's part, and you

905
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 5: need that right And McKinnon he had a wide open

906
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 5: net and he hits the post right, the wide open

907
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 5: you know, that's the luck that you need to win

908
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 5: hockey games and I get left for it, but but

909
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 5: you need it in this sport in the US got

910
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 5: it today?

911
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 4: Is it?

912
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: You know a lot of the discussion, as you well know,

913
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: leading up to this thing was there. The knives were

914
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: sharpened across the country, certainly in Canada, waiting I think,

915
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: to pounce on Billy garn if the US did not

916
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: have this outcome right, we all know it. It was

917
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: all and he was aware of it too. You know,

918
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: he didn't run for it. He knew exactly that's what

919
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: he was dealing with. But he's very stubborn. He's going

920
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: to do it the way he's going to do it.

921
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: But that's I felt that right too before that goal,

922
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: that the people there are a number of people who

923
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: are going to be waiting to pounce.

924
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 5: Correct, Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean I've gotten multiple

925
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 5: text throughout this whole tournament. This guy should have been

926
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 5: you know, and listen, you have to give him credit

927
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 5: for sticking to his guns, not caring. And I'll tell

928
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 5: you what something else, Dan, You give me five different

929
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 5: general managers, the guy who has to make that decision.

930
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 5: You may have a different goal caper starting. Yeah, you

931
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 5: may have two or three guys that are different, but

932
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 5: it was his team. He took ownership in it. And

933
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 5: and you know what, and he said, at the end

934
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 5: of the day, you know, if we lose, come at me,

935
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 5: you know, come at me. I'll take responsibility. And you

936
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 5: know you got to give him a lot of credit

937
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 5: for that.

938
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: Well, the the he's fearless, right, that doesn't mean he's

939
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: always going to be right, But that's what you're looking for.

940
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: You're looking, I think for a guy who says, I

941
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't care what the chalk says, I don't care

942
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: what conventional wisdom says. This is the way I'm going

943
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: to be doing it. And this is I have a vision,

944
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, for what I'm for, what I'm looking for.

945
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: We're here and that's that's sort of you know what

946
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: we saw today or tonight.

947
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 5: And and Dan, you know this better than anybody. If

948
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 5: you lose, uh, and I don't care what sport you

949
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 5: lose that championship game, you did something wrong as a

950
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 5: GM right, manage your coach whatever. You're gonna get blamed, period,

951
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 5: and and so that that's just the game. You know

952
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 5: the nature of the beast.

953
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: Right, you know you mentioned Canada clearly had the better

954
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 1: of the action for much of the way, especially after

955
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: that that that oddly enough that uh, the US killing

956
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: off the five on three. You could see it when

957
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: when they showed the agony of defeat photo the Agney defeat.

958
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't to me like you saw a

959
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of blubbering or you saw it just look of devastation.

960
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: To me, what I read in those fases is what

961
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: you said, like, how did.

962
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 2: We not win this?

963
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: How did we How are we sitting here in the

964
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: position we are watching the US players on the ice

965
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: frolic the way they are.

966
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the shots were like, I don't know,

967
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 5: thirty seven to twenty one at one point. I mean

968
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 5: it was it was Bennington wasn't really even tested in

969
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 5: that in that second period, and and not so much

970
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 5: even in the third period. And so but you know what,

971
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 5: you get the goaltending, you defend well enough, you get

972
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 5: you get the brakes, you know, the lucky breaks and

973
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 5: and and that's what happens. And so, uh, you know,

974
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 5: I thought for a while the that that team USA

975
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 5: seemed a little out of sorts when the onslaught of

976
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 5: that was you know, but you know, what you know,

977
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 5: you you hung in there enough to persevere and and uh,

978
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 5: you know, there was a there was a feeling I

979
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 5: think amongst the US team that that you know, they

980
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 5: that they just working to lose. You could hear hear

981
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 5: Brady could Chuck, who was miked up on the bench, saying,

982
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 5: you know, we're gonna win this. We're gonna win this,

983
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 5: you know. And and and they did. And good for them,

984
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, good for them. Wasn't pretty, but

985
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be right, No, that's not that goes

986
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 5: back to nineteen eighty Dan that game pretty.

987
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 2: No, that was surely not.

988
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, the US got thoroughly dominated in

989
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 5: that game. But but you know, you're is the only

990
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 5: with the with the you know, the pass that I

991
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 5: mean the putteck just team right to him and he

992
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 5: you know, and he rips it home. That's what you need.

993
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 5: That's what's happened today. Uh.

994
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: Chatting with Pat mcletty in the wake of the US

995
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: winning the gold medal game was shortly just shortly into

996
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: the what's what could have been obviously up to a

997
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty minute overtime game as well?

998
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 2: I for you, personally, what's the I mean.

999
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: What what it just as a as a obviously as

1000
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: a as a hockey former hockey player, and as a

1001
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: fan of a mayor US Hockey.

1002
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 2: What does it mean to you?

1003
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 5: Well, you know what it just means. It means a

1004
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 5: lot in terms of what all these volunteers, because all

1005
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 5: these volunteers in the youth hockey programs. That's what I

1006
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 5: feel good about, right because all of these volunteered dads

1007
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 5: and coaches and parents who get their kids up at

1008
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 5: five in the morning.

1009
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 4: This is why, this is why, and.

1010
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 5: The way USA Hockey has developed the game throughout the country.

1011
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 5: We're never going to be the number one spot, or

1012
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 5: number two or number three, maybe not even number four.

1013
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 5: But for the hockey playing people who love the game

1014
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 5: so much, that's what makes it for me feel special.

1015
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: Did you know one last thing about the tournament itself

1016
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: going in most people I know I talked to Louis

1017
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: about this felt that Canada was, you know, had an

1018
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: edge just in terms of the abundant nature of talent.

1019
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: But over the course of the tournament itself, certainly Canada

1020
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: showed itself to be more vulnerable than I think people

1021
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: expected it to. Right, They had to comfort behind the

1022
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: last two games. Did that surprise you at how?

1023
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 2: You know? They they did not look.

1024
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: As dominant start to finish as a lot of people

1025
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: thought that they might.

1026
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 5: No, you and I talked about this last week, and

1027
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 5: you know I thought they were vulnerable in some areas.

1028
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 5: That's true, and and you're right, they weren't on top

1029
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 5: of their game. And I was really worried today about

1030
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 5: with not having Crosby, just his presence on the bench,

1031
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 5: because he's so iconic to what team Canada is and

1032
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 5: he's and all he does is is win Stanley Cupps

1033
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 5: in gold medals and with him not on the bench today,

1034
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 5: I thought that was going to be a factor. But no,

1035
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 5: they weren't at their best. But they certainly were today.

1036
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 5: I mean they were, They were what we thought Canada

1037
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 5: would be at the start of a tournament, and you know,

1038
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 5: they just came up short.

1039
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 2: Thanks for the extra time man the last two weeks

1040
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: in a row.

1041
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: We much appreciate, especially the last minute here, and we'll

1042
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: hopefully talk soon my pleasure. Thank you as always pat

1043
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: mcalletty helping us out on a very busy edition of

1044
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: Sunday Sermons. We're gonna try to get Luigi back on

1045
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: here in a little bit as well. And I do

1046
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: want to get to your texts bratch On Brian Caffe

1047
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: in text line because they're pouring in six four six,

1048
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: eight six as well. There's some folks wanting to talk

1049
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: about the luck issue, whether they that in fact maybe

1050
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: would work both ways from time to time as well,

1051
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: because didn't we have I thought we had a shot

1052
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: that hit went all the way across, hit like both posts,

1053
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't it from favor that was yeah, that's right, and

1054
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: and and so there was some of that on both ends.

1055
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question overall Canada had the

1056
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: better end of the action. But we've said it before.

1057
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: That's what great goaltending can do. That's the equalizer great

1058
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: goaltending can be. And you could say the closest thing

1059
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: to it is in baseball, a starting pitcher who can

1060
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: take a really good hot lineup and just shut it

1061
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: down for six seven innings, And I guess that's the distinction.

1062
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: If the starting pitcher goes nine or ten allah Jack

1063
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: Morris in nineteen ninety one, then you could say it's

1064
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: a perfect analogy because the pitcher has that whole game taken,

1065
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: that other offense out of the game. But short of that,

1066
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any anything quite like what a

1067
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: goaltender can do to counteract what seems to be utter domination,

1068
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: at least for stretches of the game on the other

1069
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: end of the ice. We're going to pause in here,

1070
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: get to some texts, and maybe, as I said, I'm

1071
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more Louis also react to the gold

1072
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: medal winning victory for the United States back in the

1073
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: app So Jack hughes gets the golden goal a one

1074
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: minute forty one seconds into three on three overtime. US

1075
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: gets its first gold medal since nineteen eighty third overall,

1076
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: but first since the Miracle on ice run, this being

1077
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: the anniversary of the victory over the Soviet Union. I

1078
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: am reminded a couple of people who texted this that

1079
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: Hughesy had lost teeth after a that third period high

1080
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: stick as well. Is there any game there is no

1081
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: other game in which that's sort of just accepted as Yeah,

1082
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: I lost another tooth, put it well replaced.

1083
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: It'll put another one back up there. What's the different?

1084
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,439
Speaker 2: It's right, I wonder it was a double minor. That's right.

1085
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: It does not even indeed matter so and the US

1086
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: guests had done. Louie is going to join us, probably

1087
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: about I'm going to try to get him at the

1088
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour.

1089
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: Canada.

1090
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: We were talking about this with Mikoletti Canada for the

1091
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: for the game, and d O t outshot the US.

1092
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: To twenty.

1093
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: After the first period, and of course it was Hellabuck

1094
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: who was absolutely absurd throughout this thing, the key clearly

1095
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: to the victory. He denies McDavid who had a breakaway

1096
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: in the second period, He stops Celebrini the Tays tap

1097
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: in opportunity where he just gets enough of the puck

1098
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: with his stick. Was an absolutely remarkable save. And the

1099
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: rest is indeed history. In as we just chatted with

1100
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: with Micheletty, folks are not going to necessarily remember who

1101
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: dominated the thing. There are how many hockey games, Stanley

1102
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: Cup games in which that gets long forgotten because it's

1103
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: still a game of what you've got to outscore the opposition,

1104
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: in which that's exactly what the US did very shortly

1105
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: in the three on three.

1106
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 2: We had been lamenting with Louis the fact that.

1107
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: It's not five on five, and you had mentioned, well,

1108
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I have to worry about a second

1109
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: overtime period, not even close as it indeed turns out.

1110
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Bratcheawn Brian cafe in text line is open at six

1111
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: for six eight six. Let me get to a couple

1112
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: of couple of texts here. As Patton knows, the best

1113
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: team doesn't always win in hockey. That's what happened today.

1114
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: Congrats to us for the third gold medal in the

1115
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 1: history of the Olympics. I don't.

1116
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have problems with.

1117
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: You know, the best team doesn't always win in hockey,

1118
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: because I think it's a little bit more complicated than that.

1119
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: And I would say that doesn't necessarily give the US

1120
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: proper credit because part of best team includes best goaltender.

1121
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: That is part of the team. You can talk about

1122
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: the action on the ice, but I I that we

1123
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: all if we all appreciate and know how significant that

1124
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: position is, and you have superiority at that position on

1125
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: a given night, then I think it's a little bit

1126
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: too easy to to to automatically say, well, the best

1127
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: team did not win. Yes, we had our own version

1128
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: of double doink. That is true in terms of not

1129
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: having a luck necessarily always go our way. Sucks from

1130
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 1: a Canadian perspective, but should but it should be good

1131
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: for the game for my buddy up north.

1132
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: Mccar, McKinnon and McDavid on the ice for the.

1133
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Overtime winner at Hughes autduels mccarr the defensive zone to

1134
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: start the rush. Just awesome. I did see during the

1135
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the metal ceremony. Did you see they had basically the

1136
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: players in the foreground in the background. Right behind them

1137
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: up on the bench, you could see various US Olympic

1138
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Hockey officials, including Bill Garrion, who it surprised me how.

1139
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 2: Calm he looked. I don't know what I expected from him.

1140
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying I expected he was gonna

1141
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: be hoisting a beer already, but he was there in

1142
01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the background, and as I said, it has to be

1143
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 1: a crowning achievement for him, and there are people who've

1144
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: talked about it. Could this be the Billy Garren daily

1145
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: double you orchestrate. You put together the team that gets

1146
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the US back to the gold medal for the first

1147
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: time since the Miracle of nineteen eighty and then out

1148
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: of nowhere, with no playoff equity, your National Hockey.

1149
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: League team makes a run to the Stanley Cup be

1150
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 2: a hell of a daily double.

1151
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: I would suggest to him that if that happens, he

1152
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:41,479
Speaker 1: should retire. I don't know how you would possibly build

1153
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: out it. I don't know how you can improve on it.

1154
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: It's never going to get any better than that sort

1155
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: of thing. But of course, we've got a long way

1156
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: to go between now and then. Even though I think

1157
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: the hockey season resumes league wide on Wednesday, I don't

1158
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: remember when our first game is, but I think the

1159
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: first game. I think the season resumes on Wednesday, and

1160
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: we start with the lance, Right, we talked about that

1161
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: a couple of times. What night is that we double chatday? Yeah, okay,

1162
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: so that's right around the corner as well.

1163
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's do this. Let's pause.

1164
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get a quick couple of minutes

1165
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 1: to get the instant Louis reaction. We chatted with him

1166
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: before the overtime period. Let's get his reaction after the victory.

1167
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: Is indeed in the books, Luigi nexts.

1168
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Around the world.

1169
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: In the world, Nanny, did you think there was really

1170
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: any chance that we are going to do this particular

1171
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: historic addition of sermons without having Luigi on again? To

1172
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: make get official the US winning the gold medal in

1173
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the opening.

1174
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: Minutes of overtime. No, there was no chance that that

1175
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 2: was going to be possible.

1176
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: There's no chance I could move forward without making sure

1177
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: we had Luigian for the second time today. He joined

1178
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: us via the Connectico Water Systems hotline.

1179
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 2: Well, what do you make of it? What was your reaction?

1180
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: And we're I'm assuming you were have you've been up

1181
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: out of your seat and then you've been able to

1182
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: go pee as well.

1183
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 4: Right, I'm ecstatic. It was nerve wrecking. But fortunately, you know,

1184
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 4: as we were talking about before, you hit the best

1185
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 4: offensive guys in the world, but sometimes you know they're

1186
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 4: not the best defensive guys in the world. And you know,

1187
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 4: Canada had McCarry McDavid McKinnon on the ice when they

1188
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 4: got scored on, and that's what we were talking about before.

1189
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 4: You know, they don't score, then you might get the

1190
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 4: opportunity that you need. That was didn't score. They came

1191
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 4: close to but didn't do it. And that's the difference.

1192
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Tell me about the play that's set up the game winner,

1193
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: the pass from Orensky, which I thought was that's an

1194
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: underrated part of this entire play because I thought that

1195
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: was beautifully done executed well.

1196
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 4: The underrated part is the fact that he got the

1197
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 4: puck away from Mckinni's right, because had he not if

1198
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 4: you look, McDavid was coming back, mccarr was always still

1199
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 4: in the neutral zone basically maybe just coming over the

1200
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 4: blue line, that might have turned on to be a

1201
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 4: two or nothing breakaway, because you're right, had you was

1202
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 4: coming as well, do you? You know the difference is

1203
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 4: when you when you get that opportunity and you make

1204
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 4: it count, and boy, it's you know, just the little

1205
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 4: things in the game make all the difference in the world.

1206
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 4: It was that basically a bulk check from resentscating free

1207
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 4: to park and he sees Jack Hughes coming late give

1208
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 4: it to him and he was making a great shot. Well.

1209
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm also I was talking about this with we had

1210
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: Pat mcletty on and that it struck me that what

1211
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: you saw again, not that we didn't already know this,

1212
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: but anybody who doubts the degree to which these players

1213
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: on both sides want to win this thing, that it's

1214
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: so much more than any kind of exhibition. Was the

1215
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: look on the faces of the Canada players on the

1216
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:26,600
Speaker 1: bench because it was I mean, utter and complete. And

1217
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: these are obviously accomplished players. They're going to be fine,

1218
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: we understand all that. But the level of devastation that

1219
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 1: I saw is just a reminder of why this event

1220
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 1: is so terrific and why it's so excellent in my view,

1221
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: to have the pro players, the NHL players back in it.

1222
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 4: Well, then you hit the nail on the heads. When

1223
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 4: when I was looking at that Canada team getting the

1224
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 4: silver medals, I said to my wife, I said, look

1225
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:59,759
Speaker 4: at that. It's complete devastation and there's a sickness there.

1226
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 4: You'll never lose. You just cannot believe the feeling that

1227
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 4: they have, and that just is something that it's unfortunate

1228
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 4: that both teams can't win. That's why you play the

1229
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 4: game though. Somebody's gonna win and somebody's going to lose.

1230
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 4: And that devastation that they're feeling right now, it's like

1231
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 4: a nightmare. You go to sleep and you you want

1232
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 4: to dream that you won, and you wake up and

1233
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 4: you know you lost. I'm telling you that the feeling there.

1234
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 4: People cannot ever feel that kind of thing in an

1235
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 4: athletic endeavor unless they've they've been there and it's it's

1236
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 4: just tragic, but that's what makes it so wonderful, the intensity,

1237
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 4: the willingness that I mean, Jack Hughes loses two teeth.

1238
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 4: He doesn't even know he lost him. You know, it's

1239
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 4: just crazy. It's just not you just keep going and

1240
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 4: and and it's all the reason why you play the game.

1241
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 4: It's the It just tells people that you're watching a

1242
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 4: game and you're involved and ingested in that game because

1243
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 4: they got your back. They're feeling like you're feeling for them.

1244
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 4: And that's the feeling that is wonderful, and it could

1245
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 4: be terrible at the end if you don't win.

1246
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at at a tweet from the NHL via

1247
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 1: x Quinn. Hughes scores the overtime winner in the in

1248
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: the quarterfinal. Jack Hughes scores the overtime winner in the

1249
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: gold medal game. The Hughes brothers are the definition of

1250
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: a clutch. Not a bad Yeah, not a bad Olympics

1251
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: for the Hughes brothers.

1252
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 4: Correct, Oh my god, it's just amazing the kind of

1253
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 4: Olympics they had, the winning goals that they had, the

1254
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 4: play that they made. You know, neither of them have

1255
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 4: a standing cup now. So that's what they got to

1256
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 4: focus on. And they have something though that you know

1257
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 4: they're going to treasure more than anything in the rest

1258
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 4: of their life in athletics. And they they not only

1259
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 4: were a part of it, they were an intergal part

1260
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 4: of it. They were the reasons why the USA you've

1261
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 4: got goal today.

1262
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Well, never know the answer to this question, but I'll

1263
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: ask anyway because it's going to be asked it already

1264
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: has been. What do you think the loss of Sidney

1265
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: Crosby meant?

1266
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 4: Well, that is something I was thinking about myself when

1267
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 4: I saw him at the end of the line, and

1268
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 4: you could never say it doesn't mean anything, because he's

1269
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,799
Speaker 4: been the greatest player in the world here for about

1270
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 4: twenty years now eight years, and so to lose him,

1271
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 4: even the ability to him on the bench, you know

1272
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 4: it is something, but you can't. You can't. There's nothing

1273
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 4: you can do to try and place his value in

1274
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 4: that game because you don't know how it would have

1275
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 4: turned out. But the odds are it would have been

1276
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 4: a big benefits for Canada because he's been a big

1277
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,480
Speaker 4: benefit every time he's played.

1278
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 2: Anywhere, no question about that.

1279
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of and we talked

1280
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: about this a lot of discussion going into these games,

1281
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: and even as the tournament was playing out. And you

1282
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: know this better than anybody, that there's always going to

1283
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 1: be questioning and second guessing regarding the makeup of your roster.

1284
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: And it's no secret that garn went not necessarily for

1285
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: what you would classify as the greatest talent and said,

1286
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in pieces that in my mind fit together,

1287
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: so you leave people home, you know, like Jason Robertson,

1288
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Adam Fox, et cetera. And I'm wondering, as a guy

1289
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: who was never also afraid to make bold decisions and

1290
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,639
Speaker 1: live with them, what you thought about that, And if

1291
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 1: it's anything he ever talked about with Billy during the

1292
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: course of the period that he's building this.

1293
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 4: Roster, well, you know that that's why we have different teams.

1294
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 4: That's why we draft different players, Because he got thirty

1295
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 4: two people running teams that have different feelings of what

1296
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 4: it takes to win or are you going to win,

1297
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 4: or what you need to win. And so no matter

1298
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 4: who he would have picked, there would have been that

1299
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 4: conjecture about what is he doing? Is he got the

1300
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 4: right guys? Obviously he had the right guys. And when

1301
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,719
Speaker 4: you look at it at the end though, there really

1302
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 4: wasn't a lot of discussion. Both of those teams had

1303
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 4: two guys basically the people were talking about in each

1304
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 4: team and American and I don't think so much Fox.

1305
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 4: He got to be Fox. He didn't play good in

1306
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 4: the Four Nations. By the way, we were talking about

1307
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 4: Crosby's loss in the Olympics. Remember Quinn Hugheston played in

1308
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 4: the Four Nations. He was hurt in the US lost

1309
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 4: and overtime, So you could never tell. But that's why

1310
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 4: you have the job, and that's why you made the decision.

1311
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 4: You can't worry about what people are gonna say or

1312
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 4: think because the odds are you know, if you don't win,

1313
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter which team you are, there's going to

1314
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,879
Speaker 4: be questions at So now there's gonna be some questions

1315
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 4: asked about the two Canadians that they left off. So

1316
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 4: it is something that they get very used to. And

1317
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 4: you really don't even think about what people are wondering

1318
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 4: when you're picking the team. I know I did, you

1319
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 4: know I had nic staff, but really he's got into

1320
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 4: that and we sit down and evaluate and discuss and

1321
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,719
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you make a decision,

1322
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 4: you live with it.

1323
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Is this to this point, you would you call this

1324
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: Garn's crowning achievement?

1325
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely, there's nothing close. I mean this. You know,

1326
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 4: he had the good fortune and and he was a

1327
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 4: big part of the ninety six It was the series

1328
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 4: the world basically the World Championship, you know, and and

1329
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 4: and that's when US beat Canadas, the first time US

1330
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 4: won a major game against Canada in international hockey. And

1331
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 4: he was a part of that, and that had to

1332
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 4: be is you know, the highlight of his life next

1333
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 4: to winning the Cup. But now this, who's got to

1334
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 4: be It's definitely as important as a Stanley Cup. You

1335
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 4: don't get any better than this. In my mind, that's

1336
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 4: what I was lived forward, dreamed about it just you know,

1337
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 4: I was fortunate enough to win. But you know, just

1338
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 4: competing in the Olympics is something so different, unique and

1339
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 4: special that nothing's going to he doesn't the rest of

1340
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 4: his life, it's going to be better than this.

1341
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Let's finish with a history lesson here, because you can

1342
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: speak to all of this better than anybody that I know.

1343
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: This obviously is the third time the US has won

1344
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: the gold the first time since nineteen eighty. They want

1345
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: it in nineteen sixty as well. Let's go back to

1346
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty gold medal. What's from your perspective, what's

1347
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 1: important for hockey people, maybe even young fans who aren't

1348
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 1: around then, to know about what that run represented.

1349
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 4: Well, that was you know, that was really you know,

1350
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 4: a huge, huge achievement that no one ever expected. Canada,

1351
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,879
Speaker 4: you know, was usually dominating that time in the Russians

1352
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 4: were just starting to get better. And I remember because

1353
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:10,839
Speaker 4: I went home from school, I was at the university

1354
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 4: and I had the good fortune of practicing against that

1355
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 4: Olympic team because they you know, they spent some time

1356
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 4: in Minnesota too, and and I was in Sussi Marie

1357
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 4: watching it on TV, and you know, it was outside,

1358
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it was it was just a different thing.

1359
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 4: But it became a CrowdIn in achievement for American hockey

1360
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 4: because now it's on the international stage that they've achieved

1361
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 4: something that was never done before and wasn't done for

1362
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 4: another twenty years. So it was it was almost like

1363
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 4: the hidden miracle. People don't know all that sport that

1364
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 4: wasn't how big that was because it had no publicity at.

1365
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:53,839
Speaker 1: All nineteen eighty what feels like at this point everything's

1366
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 1: been said and written about that. But for you, again

1367
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 1: trying to put historical context all three of these goals,

1368
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 1: what what do you what will you remember the most

1369
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: about nineteen eighty and what made it unique?

1370
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 4: Well, the fact that the US was able to be

1371
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,720
Speaker 4: at that time a Russian team. There was any team

1372
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 4: in the world and and had you know, dominated the

1373
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 4: US just three weeks before that, and and they did it,

1374
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 4: and and to get there, you know, they had to

1375
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 4: be some really tough competition and to one that dyd

1376
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 4: to be Finland after being don couple of goals too.

1377
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 4: And it was done by college kids. And at that time,

1378
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 4: as somebody Michael was saying to Eruzioni and some of

1379
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 4: the people were saying that, you know, put American players

1380
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 4: on the national stage, because at that time, there weren't

1381
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 4: many guys drafted in the NHL. There were Americans. I

1382
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 4: had the good fortune, you know, I had drafted brought

1383
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 4: and early in Christoff and we started getting some of

1384
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 4: the kids drafted. But after that, the way those kids,

1385
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 4: college kids performed, and it was you know, made other

1386
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 4: guys realize that these kids can play. All they need

1387
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 4: is a chance. And that's why Mary Ucci was so

1388
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 4: big for American hockey. He's the most important guy in

1389
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 4: my mind in US hockey because he never stopped working

1390
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 4: to get the American boy a chance, and he did it.

1391
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 4: And he was a big factor in the US doing

1392
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 4: that because of his drive to get Minnesota hockey so

1393
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 4: big as it became, and then the East as well

1394
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 4: was you know, Boston was big and it just grew

1395
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 4: from there.

1396
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 2: It's a great point.

1397
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: So today we get it again for the first time

1398
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty. It ain't college kids this time, it's adults,

1399
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: and it's the best of the best representing the United States.

1400
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 4: Again.

1401
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,600
Speaker 1: Depending on whether you agree with Billy Garren or not,

1402
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:48,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue with him at this point. So

1403
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: if we're, let's say twenty years from now, you're trying

1404
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: to explain this to somebody to put this gold medal

1405
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: in perspective, what would you say then?

1406
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 4: It was a two best teams in the world playing

1407
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 4: each other in the game. That was phenomenal, And yes,

1408
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 4: the goldtending was a difference today, but remember this, the

1409
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 4: goaltender is a part of your team. Just like the

1410
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 4: quarterback to a part of your team, and the picture

1411
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 4: is a part of your team. And many times people say,

1412
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 4: well you won by goltender. Yeah, but that count. I

1413
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,679
Speaker 4: remember he was on the team, he was a member,

1414
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 4: and like some of you, once Glenn smar came down

1415
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 4: and I got almighty, you know so and so let

1416
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 4: in two easy goals? Would you move? He stopped forty shots.

1417
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 5: I say, I paid him to stop them all.

1418
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 4: That's it, and that's and that's the difference that people

1419
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 4: realize that, you know, they had the two best teams

1420
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 4: in the world there in my mind today, and not

1421
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 4: only the two best teams in the world. I'd see

1422
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,799
Speaker 4: the two best teams ever play.

1423
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: I could very well be Yeah, it's hard to argue

1424
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: with that. And I think you're you're, you're you're. I'm

1425
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: learning from you because I made the exact same point

1426
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: two se months ago. I said, we got to remember

1427
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: that when you say, well, the the the US got

1428
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: outplayed well, depends on how you define the team. And

1429
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: if a goaltender is part of the team and a

1430
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: goaltender is then it's a little bit more complicated than that.

1431
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 2: That counts. That's part of how.

1432
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: You evaluate if your goaltender outplays their goaltender, then that

1433
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: is part of out playing as well.

1434
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 2: And I do think people tend to forget that.

1435
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't understand why because they'll say, oh, pig,

1436
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 4: you said, Brady a quarterback, you know, yeah, yeah, Brady's

1437
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:38,280
Speaker 4: part of the team, yes, and so why don't they say, Well,

1438
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 4: in the USN help. That's that's what the big thing is.

1439
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:44,959
Speaker 4: You're getting the best player you can at every position

1440
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 4: there is, and Helvik's the best. In the goal we

1441
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 4: talked about at the beginning. I said, in my mind,

1442
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 4: Cannon's got the better forwards, the US is better in

1443
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 4: defensing the goal, and I said, so it's going to

1444
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 4: be Cunny hold them off long enough to score enough

1445
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 4: to win.

1446
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 2: And that's what happened exactly right.

1447
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: A number of people have asked me to ask you,

1448
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: how do we get Jack Hughes on the Wild.

1449
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 4: Patient because I really think that there's a possibility that

1450
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 4: can happen. And I say that because he's I think

1451
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 4: he's free agent in two years and then you know,

1452
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 4: let's face a new jersey, not a position to run

1453
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 4: for a cup right now, and so the Wild are

1454
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 4: so I would think. The only thing that bothers me,

1455
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 4: The only thing that bothers me is I don't want

1456
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 4: both of them going to Detroit. You know, Quinn is

1457
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 4: going to be three earlier, a year earlier, and so

1458
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 4: I don't want one move in there than the other

1459
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 4: moving there. But if if Quinn signs, which I really

1460
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 4: believe is going to sign with a while, then I

1461
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 4: think they're gonna have a chance to get Jack Hughes.

1462
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: That's that's going to get the hockey community going. That's

1463
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: for sure.

1464
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 2: That's definitely saying this year to get him this year. Yeah,

1465
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 2: but I think.

1466
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a strong, strong possible ability they

1467
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 4: can get up.

1468
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,799
Speaker 1: Last item, we talked going in about the concern regarding injuries,

1469
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: and a couple of people are texting on that too,

1470
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: wondering now that you look back, now that it is over,

1471
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: does it end up being better than we thought, worse

1472
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: than we thought? What do you make on the the

1473
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: the injury part of this story.

1474
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 4: Well, it's better than we thought because Ala lost their star.

1475
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:24,719
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's it.

1476
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 4: We didn't look to anybody, you know, don't I don't

1477
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 4: look at it, you know about the other teams. Yeah,

1478
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 4: I wish that they can play, but if they can,

1479
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 4: as long as not on our team, I don't get

1480
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:39,560
Speaker 4: you know, I don't care as much. So it's unfortunate

1481
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 4: for La and for Fiela, but he's vote for the year.

1482
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 4: And then there's a couple of the guys nicked up

1483
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 4: and heard up. They'll miss some games, but overall, I

1484
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 4: think they came out of it without more serious injuries

1485
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 4: as well as they could have. Voted.

1486
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Great work again, my friend, extra work, much appreciated.

1487
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 2: We will talk later this week. Thank you, Luigi.

1488
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 4: So was good.

1489
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 2: Thank it was a pleasure.

1490
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 4: Thanks man.

1491
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 1: Lu Nanny's celebrating another gold medal for the United States.

1492
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: I say another, the first in Olympic men's hockey since

1493
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,759
Speaker 1: nineteen one hundred and eighty. In our final couple of minutes,

1494
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: we appreciate all the text today, all the interest today.

1495
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 1: It has been a very fun edition of sermons. For

1496
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: that reason, there is one really serious story that I

1497
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: had intended to spend a little bit more time on,

1498
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: but the timing being what it is and wanting to

1499
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: do justice to this Olympic event, did not get to

1500
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 1: it in as much detail as I wanted. After the

1501
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: start of the show, mentioning it the incredibly tragic news

1502
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: regarding Rondel Moore, who the Vikings had signed last year

1503
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: and one of those kind of make good deals to

1504
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 1: see if he could come back from a series of

1505
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: debilitating injuries. Had been a terrific all purpose player at

1506
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Purdue and was trying to make a comeback as a

1507
01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: guy who at his best was to be very valuable,

1508
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 1: a return guy, all purpose kind of a guy, a

1509
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 1: guy who could make people miss, and on his first

1510
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: kickoff return in pre season for the Vikings, he suffered

1511
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:17,759
Speaker 1: a season ending knee injury as an acl as I recall,

1512
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 1: and the story broke late last night that indeed he

1513
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: was found dead inside the garage of a property in

1514
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: this city. This is in New Albany, Indiana, just outside

1515
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: of Louisville. Autopsy scheduled for Sunday. The police department currently

1516
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: investigating the death. The belief, according to officials there, that

1517
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: it's a suspected self inflicted gunshot wound twenty five years old.

1518
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 2: A horrific story.

1519
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell in a statement, I am devastated by the

1520
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: news of Rondell's death. While he had been a member

1521
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 1: of the Vikings for a short time. He was something.

1522
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 1: He was someone we came to know well and care about. Deeply, humble,

1523
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: soft spoken, respect young man, proud of his Indiana roots.

1524
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: I mentioned that Rick Bosch, a contributor on this show,

1525
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: my college roommate had gotten to know him because they

1526
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: both attended the same rehab center for a period of

1527
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: many many weeks, if not months, and he'd always was

1528
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:21,480
Speaker 1: impressed in his conversations with him. Wasn't big timing anybody

1529
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: as well? And you know it all sounds trite at

1530
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: a time like this, but we know in real life

1531
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: there are folks out there who are dealing with incredible

1532
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: depression issues of one sort or another. And it is

1533
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: the reminder the worth all of us who have a

1534
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:46,719
Speaker 1: microphone like this, the opportunity to chat to other people,

1535
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 1: that the importance of being vigilant and reaching out as

1536
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: much as possible and making sure individuals around us know

1537
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: that there are people to talk to, there are steps

1538
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: to take, there are ways to try to get to

1539
