Speaker 3: If I could just give her a quick plug. I mean,

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: she came in just kind of a random meeting. I

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: knew who she was. She was Goal of the Year

19
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen on our website, so I knew who

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: she was and followed her career obviously. But she came

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: in says I'm gonna do this podcast. And sometimes these

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: people they come in and they do things and they

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,600

00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: all year. Some of her guests have been amazing. She's

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: had Devin Dubnik, camp Gorg, you know, Ali Altman's coming

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: in this week, the USA goalie coach. She's just a

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: great kid and a great hard work or something you

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 3: want here.

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: For a youth hockey hub? Where can people find it?

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: And what do you do with youth hockey hubs?

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: So Youth Hockeyub is a platform I would call us

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: because we're not just a news source, which you can

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: get plenty of news from us, whether it's our website

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: ww youth hockeyhub dot com or you can find us

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: on x and Instagram is at Youth Hockey Hub. But

38
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: you're gonna find youth tournaments year round, youth tournaments, six

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: podcasts a week during the season, one Pat podcast a

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: week off season.

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: He just goes on and on.

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: It's a continuous three sixty five twenty four to seven

43
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: hockey here in Minnesota for kids nine through college.

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: Tony'scott Youth Hockey Hub with I don't even know these guys' names,

45
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: and assumably I saw it on social media recently with

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: a couple of players who I think are suspended for

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: the Okay, A are they good players?

48
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: B are they he to their teams? Like like what's

49
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: happening here? So the first.

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: Kids Drew Sherman, so, Drew's dad is Matt Sherman and

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: former quarterbacks for the Iowahaway. Great family, great kid, and

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: I think that his emotions got the best of them

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: and made some obscenes gestures after their victory over Saint

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: Thomas Academy, which all the pundits ourselves included at YEH

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: did not have them pick to win, and they won it.

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 3: And I think a little bit of that's spilled over

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: and he apologized within an hour, but still got a

58
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: suspension from the high school league.

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: That will hurt rosemo At big time.

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: They do have two great goaltenders, Abe and Finn and

61
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: Sam Clements to fill in for him. They've all had

62
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: plenty of minutes this year, so I don't think there's

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: gonna be a huge drop off. But Drew is a

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: heck of a talent. And the other one was this kid,

65
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: Cole Swanson, the Star Trebune Metro Player of the Years

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: little brother, and I think he's not little, He's much bigger.

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: He's a heck of a talent. I mean, I gush

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: about him every time I can. He sees the ice well,

69
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: he plays with his brother. It's fun combination. I think

70
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: that Hiving's gonna survive a game against Dodge County, but

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Rosema can survive a game against

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: Grand Rapids on Thursday afternoon.

73
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: Tony Scott Youth Hockey Hub. By the way, as KFA

74
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: and goes, is an annual thing. Zacho, Zach Calverson. We'll

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: be calling the state high school hockey games Thursday through

76
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: Saturday on either f N one hundred point three KFA

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: IN or KFA N plus. So goes Zacho, and that'll

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: begin a couple of days from now, despite the high

79
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: school hockey tournament beginning tomorrow with with single A. And

80
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 4: from the single A standpoint, what what jumps out of you?

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: Like like these names Motamedi, Saint Cloud Cathedral and so on.

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: You know, you talk a little bit about Hivving Dodge County,

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: But what sticks out with single A?

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, a lot of streaks, right, there's

85
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: a lot of the usual suspects. Saint cloudk Cathedral four

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: years in a row, Montamedi five years in a row,

87
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: nine out of the last ten. You know, a lot

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: of these teams have been back and forth all you know,

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: several several times.

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: For me, hitting is the team to be.

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: That's one of the storylines, pa is this is is

92
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: can they come down here and win their first title

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 3: since nineteen seventy three. They've been one of the best teams,

94
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: I say double a ra all year long. Is can

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: somebody match their offense because they'll want to score five

96
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: or six goals in a game. One of our podcasters,

97
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: no I think it was Pat mcletty, calls them the

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: eighty four Oilers because they're just so up and they.

99
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: Want to get up and down the ice. They want

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: to play fast.

101
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: They'll be the most entertaining team to watch this week

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: by far.

103
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Delano Mankato West in particular, as a proud fan Cato native.

104
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Tell me about Mainkato West and their route here. I

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: know they got a tough one with Delano, but how

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: about those Scarlets.

107
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: They beat East on Saturday and overtime as well. So

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: this team has been really good all year, they've beaten

109
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: a lot of Double A teams. Nate Olsen is a

110
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: Scarlet alum just like you. So for me, it's really

111
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: fun to watch a team. This is their first trip

112
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: in ten years to the tournament Class three eight. The

113
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: Section three A hasn't had a repeat winner since like

114
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: twenty eleven Nordo. So it's every other year you're getting

115
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: a new team, whether it's Laverne or Mankato East. It's

116
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: just seems like it's really hard to come back and

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: repeat in that section. Their goaltender, sophomore Brooke Blake Brecky,

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: he's got a little brother too, is a fantastic kid.

119
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: He won the job from a four year starter Mason Schreier.

120
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: They go as he goes.

121
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: They got talent up and down lineup in all different

122
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: grades at Mankato.

123
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 2: West, well doubt.

124
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 4: My sources tell me with Delano that Delano has an

125
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: impressive resume with a win over war Road and a

126
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 4: tie versus Hibbing, and they have two seventy plus point scores.

127
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: Holy cow. So all right, I'm not saying. I'm not

128
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: saying Delano is going to beat Mankato West ten zero. However,

129
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 4: looking at looking at this, does hibbing and I know

130
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 4: war Roads of three Delano's two. Does it feel to

131
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: a learned high school hockey mind hibbing war Road for

132
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: all the money?

133
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: I think for me the monomedia, I don't don't look

134
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 3: those guys. Those guys have been overlooked a couple times

135
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: and that didn't work out so well for Hermantown and World.

136
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: So I think that's this real sneaky team. I've been

137
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: their biggest proponent all year. Is the best team in

138
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: the state. They played double A schedule, a heavy double

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: A schedule.

140
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: They're tied with hitting. Let me tell you a pa.

141
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: This game had eighty five penalty minutes up in world

142
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: earlier this season. Think about that. That's a lot of

143
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: penalty minutes distributed. And it wasn't just the players getting

144
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: after it. The parents were getting after it in the

145
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: stands with the fans.

146
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: That's impressive. It was one of those games.

147
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: Like I can't wait if that it will be one

148
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: of the best semi finals of the day on Friday

149
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 3: if those two hook up on Friday at eleven o'clock.

150
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: Okay, So with double A, the Skippers are the top

151
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: seed morehead, the two seed Dinah three, Rose Mound four.

152
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: Correct me if I'm wrong here. It came up earlier

153
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: in the conversation. Morehead beat in the Emmy's last year,

154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: right on Friday night, right, and it was beautiful goal,

155
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: but it was a It was a very tightly contested,

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: emotional game. Fans were getting into it, not not physically

157
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: but verbally with the were from up here allegedly nobody cares.

158
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: You guys are glitzy cake eater town.

159
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: We never won it before. That was a big thing

160
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: for Morehead last year. Yeah, but that's I recall that

161
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: being wowed last year. So a good game.

162
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: So Morehead the defending champs, uh, bring back lots of

163
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 4: key players from from that team. Joey Cullen, a source

164
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: of high school hockey source, told me earlier in the week,

165
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: actually late last week.

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: He's not wrong.

167
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 4: Joey Cullen tenth grader who missed time due to injury,

168
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: but will be in the conversation for being the first

169
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: overall pick in the NHL draft in a couple of years.

170
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: Wow, really really geez everything that kid touches his gold.

171
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: So that's why there might pick to win it. Yeah,

172
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 3: I'm minnetaka came up there and beat them, came up

173
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 3: to Morehead and beat him earlier in the year. That's

174
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: whether the one and Moreheads of two. But Joey Collen

175
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: doesn't lose many games. I think I can count on

176
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: one hand how many times I've seen that kid lose

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: in a game.

178
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: There's not any.

179
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Other first round draft pick, projected top five picks on

180
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 3: any of their teams in the Double A.

181
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: I think he will be the difference.

182
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: And that's why I think Moreheads my pick to win

183
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: the state championship this week.

184
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 4: All right, Tony, So hockey, you know, hockey with the

185
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 4: puck luck and things being tightly congested even if you're

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: an eight going against a one at certain levels. So

187
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: I'm thinking the LA Kings winning the Stanley Cup a

188
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 4: decade and change ago, and bottom bottom feeders or seeds

189
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: making life difficult on higher seeds. And here's the point.

190
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: You know, from Minnetaka one, Gentry Academy eight, then Lakeville

191
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: South seven, Morehead two. Is it like that in high

192
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: school hockey where you know, like one of these bottom

193
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: seeds like Gentry Academy. I mean, I remember when you

194
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: and I I first started talking about them, right around COVID.

195
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I had no idea what it was, didn't know

196
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: what a charter school was.

197
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 4: All I know is they were getting up and down

198
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: the ice with racehorse hockey, killing people.

199
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: That group of kids in twenty twenty one pa was

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: had been together for five six years playing youth hockey together.

201
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 2: And for me to watch that team play a Class A.

202
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: Was not a big deal. Watching them win wasn't a

203
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: big surprise. This group here. There's only four seniors on

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: this gentry team, and a lion's share they're scoring comes

205
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 3: from sophomores and juniors. This team will be around for

206
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: a couple more years. This is not a one undone

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: from the stars.

208
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: With Morehead and the Dina, they they can't match up

209
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: in the state title game?

210
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: Can they? Friday night? Though? So it has to be

211
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: another okay.

212
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: I was kind of hoping for a repeat of the

213
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: football season, that ability to.

214
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: See them battling for that title.

215
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: Now with a Dina as the three, what are we

216
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: looking at from them in terms of their ability to

217
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: in this case, if you're hot on Morehead, they may

218
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: have to get through a Dina and a Dinah will

219
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: have a say in that.

220
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: Again, well, a couple of things about Adynah.

221
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: First of all, one of their top three scores, Dylan Donna,

222
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: appear to be out for the tournament. He got injured

223
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: in the second period in the way, Is that a

224
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: Section final?

225
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't at that game and graduated.

226
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: No, he's still a senior in high school, but he's

227
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: playing juniors at Fargo.

228
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: Very good, right, elite hockey. Mind, he's in the Blackhawks organization.

229
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 3: Right there you go, there, you go. Well, Dylan Donna,

230
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: a junior for the Hornets, is hurt. I don't know

231
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: if that's going to definitely hurt them. If he can't

232
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: be one hundred percent for the Hornets, that's number one.

233
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: Number two.

234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: I watched them against the against Wisetta. They're really starting

235
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: to gel right now. And that's that's the scary thought

236
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: for any one of the turn when Jill, when Kurt

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: Giles gets his team cooking, I think they can win

238
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: a state title. There have been a lot Kurt's had

239
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: a lot less talent and one state titles with a

240
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: lot less talent in the past fifteen years.

241
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: And people tell me andovers are very sneaky. Six under

242
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: five hundred people bought with lots of talent. And ever

243
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: since we set this up, I've been pining to ask

244
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: you about Camden Langfield and kJ Sower Langfield and Sour.

245
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 4: They could fuel Landover right.

246
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: Cam's dad played for the University of Michigan, Michigan, but

247
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: grew up here in the Twin Cities, went to Blaine

248
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: High School and a sour family is well documented. Well,

249
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: I mean, just you can't swing a dead cat in

250
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: this town running with a sour at the rink. I

251
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: see his dad can't went to UMD. kJ is dead

252
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 3: And I've known Caje since he was ten years old.

253
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 3: He's a little tiny kid, but head taller than everybody

254
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: his whole life. He's still a head taller than everybody.

255
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: And now he's tough as nails. He was a little

256
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: bit soft when he was younger. He is tough as nails.

257
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: Now. That's a really good team.

258
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

259
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: Coach Leopold has joined the team. Uh so that's fun

260
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: to see. And his son is on the team as well.

261
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: So I think Andover's got a shot, but he Dinad's

262
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: a real tall task In the first round.

263
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 2: Tony scott Youth Hockey Hub KFAM.

264
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: So whether it was it was single a the East

265
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: Grand Forks wins a year ago or no, I believe

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: was in that third place game. That the reason I'm

267
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: bringing this Shakapee and Stillwater part of the conversation on

268
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: a year to year basis, Tony, you'll see the adnas

269
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: and some of these teams Morehead certainly, and some of

270
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: these programs that consistently year after year after year of

271
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: finding their way to the X slash Grand Casino Arena.

272
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: What is it like covering some of these teams like

273
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: the Chakapiez or maybe and maybe that's a bad example,

274
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 1: you can tell me, but I remember Saint Michael Albertville

275
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: had this massive influx of new residents and there was

276
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: this period where Saint Michael Auberville was just this sports

277
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: juggernaut you talk about and over maybe more consistent or

278
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: at least up and down, but they're back in the mix.

279
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: Some of these cities where it's like you haven't seen them.

280
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned Mankato in ten years, Northfield a number of

281
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: years ago finding their way to the tournament. What's it

282
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: like covering some of these cities where everything comes together

283
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: for the first time either ever or in a long

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: time and finding their way into the tourney.

285
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: Well, that's a great tee up for Rosemon if I've

286
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: ever heard one. Because here's coach Ricky Santia, Rosemont Grad, a.

287
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: Guy who's built it.

288
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 3: His his hashtag is built from within and for years

289
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: and years and years, the east Side Metro teams. You

290
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: notice we haven't seen these side privates in the tournament. No,

291
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: no Cretan, no Hill Marie, no Saint Thomas this year, right,

292
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: and now we get a chance to see rose Mount

293
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: hockey in the championship. They were over at Saint Thomas

294
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: last Tuesday, all white youth jerseys, three four five hundred

295
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 3: kids cheering on their heroes, the rose Mount High School team.

296
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: And to see them beat Saint Thomas was it kind

297
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: of gave me the chills to watch it all unfold

298
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: and to have a team that returned the state tournament

299
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: for the first time since like nineteen ninety two. They

300
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: played in the Wow, the old Tier two division.

301
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: They were four to twenty and one.

302
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: This is when Tier one and Tier two the worst

303
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: experiments I could ever hear they had left. Basically, the

304
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: nit made it. They made an NT for ninety one

305
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: to ninety two.

306
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: Terrible idea.

307
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, my high school hockey source tells me Rose mount

308
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, had a big upset of Saint Thomas

309
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: Academy to make it to State. Another team that didn't

310
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: play a tough schedule or that tough of the schedule,

311
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: but showed it's legit beating the Cadets. Balance across the

312
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: board in terms of having depth, scoring, lots of kids

313
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: from tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades all chipping in. First

314
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: trip to State in a long time, and not easy

315
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: your first time there. So wrote Rose Mountain.

316
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: That'll be their biggest obstacle. What the lack of experience.

317
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: Shining lights, the banquet, the playing on that sheet of ice,

318
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: that'll be the their biggest opponent. I think I think

319
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: they're a better hockey team than Grand Rapids. They beat

320
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: them six rip early in the year up at the

321
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: Iria in Grand Rapids. But once you get under those lights,

322
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: and these kids from Grand Rapids were in the tournament

323
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: two years ago, they played on Friday night two years ago,

324
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: they will not be intimidated by the bright lights on

325
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: Thursday afternoon.

326
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: Is Minnetonka re emerging to a one seed? Like like

327
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: I'm not saying, you know, Minnetaka hasn't been good the

328
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: last x amount of years, but he died of this

329
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: and more had that from last year still watered like Minnetaka,

330
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 4: how good is it?

331
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So this team this year has ten score ten

332
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: to twenty five plus points scorer, so they don't have

333
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: one exact superstar. But they got seven of the best

334
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: defensemen in the state. And if you ask me, they're

335
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: the toughest team to beat. They're just grind you out.

336
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: They want to allow only one or two goals. They

337
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: only allow one or two goals a game. They have

338
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: one of the best goaltenders in the state. In my opinion,

339
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: they're not emerging. Minnetaka is like the sun coming up.

340
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned. We've had a couple anomalies

341
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: here when you have Shakpe who had a great team

342
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: with Cooper Simpson in the Gang last year. But I

343
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: think they are the one of the slow and steadies

344
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: of high school hockey here in Minnesota. If you look

345
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: at their youth program, they just sent like six teams

346
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: to the youth state tournaments this past weekend.

347
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: Minnetaka hopefully I'm adding this upright, seven players with ten

348
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: or more goals.

349
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and holy cow ye and then ten with twenty

350
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: five or more points.

351
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: Oh geez. Impressive. Yeah, that's an impressive team.

352
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: You can't count you can't you can't key on any

353
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: one player in that team. And they have this big

354
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: defenseman named Tate Hardaker who will blow you up. And

355
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 3: he's got a long stick and a really tough guy

356
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: to play against.

357
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 4: So Gentry Academy the eight in double A. Gentry Academy

358
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: beat traditional four double A powers, Hill Murray and White

359
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 4: Bear La Correct.

360
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: Their toughest game, I oddly enough, was against east Ridge

361
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: Wow in the quarterfinals.

362
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 4: If you asked me, well, then they So. Now I'm

363
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 4: being told about Jackson Cook, a tenth grader. He's a

364
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 4: special talent, thirty three goals, future D one player, not

365
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 4: super deep, lack of experience could be problematic, but kind

366
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: of playing with house money.

367
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 2: Jackson does not lack confidence. I'll tell you that.

368
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: Well, this, this Gentry is an eight. Yeah, this should

369
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 4: be fun. That's Thursday, eleven in the morning. And by

370
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: the way, Zach Calverson with KFA and calling all these

371
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: games for either Kfan or Kfan, plus Tony Scott with

372
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 4: the Youth Hockey Hubs in studio nine to noon, chatting

373
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: about the state high school hockey tournament, which begins tomorrow

374
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: at eleven in the morning with hibbing Chisholm against Dodge County.

375
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: So you mentioned rose Mount went up to Grand Rapids,

376
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: played earlier this year, dominated them six. Nothing you said,

377
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: So these outstate teams, there's no hiding. I mean, whether

378
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: it sounds it sounds like from a scheduling standpoint that

379
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: even a Grand Rapids team maybe not as good as

380
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: previous incarnations. But there's no hiding just because you're not

381
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: playing in the metro, right, correct.

382
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: Everybody goes to rap As, everybody goes to the World,

383
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: everybody goes to du Lutheast, everyone goes to Morehead. These

384
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 3: teams all play each other. There's like a secret agreement

385
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: among about thirty two teams in the state. They'll play

386
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: each other if they don't want to play Moulends view.

387
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.

388
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: They don't want to play those teams. They want to

389
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: play their teams and their little click. But there's conferences

390
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: who kind of get in the way of that.

391
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: A little bit.

392
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: Mileds views are like, well what about I no, look

393
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: at their record, their record this year.

394
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: I mean they had some good team in the last

395
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: couple of years, but this was a down year for

396
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 3: the Mustangs.

397
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: Lastly, Nordo mentioned d Dinah earlier and my intel indicates

398
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 4: advanced through probably the toughest section in the state. Senior

399
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 4: netminder Chase Bejorguard is the backbone.

400
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: Some odd of feeling that was going to come out today.

401
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 4: This isn't till we save the best for last. This

402
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: isn't any Dina team stacked with blue chip D one talent.

403
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: You mentioned that like some others. But he Dinah is

404
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 4: he dynam and very talented. Hedyna comes into it as

405
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: a three starting with andover Thursday night about eight thirty

406
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 4: with Chase. So Chase scored and I've known Chase since

407
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: he was in middle school. Chase scoring the six touchdowns

408
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 4: against Morehead. There's that Chase can. If you throw him

409
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 4: the wrong fastball, it's going four to fifty the wrong way.

410
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: I mean, big boy can hit the heck out of

411
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: the ball. And personally speaking, I think that's what's next

412
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: for Chase playing baseball at the collegiate level.

413
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: A hockey fan, I'm hoping he's a goalie. How good

414
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: is he As a goalie. He's fantastic, is he?

415
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 4: Let me tell you, he's supernaturally gifted, because I'm not,

416
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: you know, liked Chase school and life and personal life

417
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 4: and not burning out. Okay, His father, Eric, the general

418
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 4: manager of Metropolitan for told me this years ago. Is

419
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 4: he's very cognizant because his son's good at all these sports.

420
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: But when the sport's done, it's done. He's done with it.

421
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 4: So it's not like, Okay, let's pump three thousand into

422
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: this strength training for football, three thousand into this speed

423
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 4: training for hockey, three thousand into this with Tom House

424
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: or John or Jordan Beck, whatever the guy's name is,

425
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: learn how to throw a pitch. It's no, he's just

426
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 4: naturally gifted. But as a goalie, he's really.

427
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 2: Good, isn't he.

428
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: So we did a feature on him last year. We

429
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: followed him around the entire hockey, football, and baseball season.

430
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: We have clips of him doing all those sports, and

431
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: it was fun to get to know him after we'd

432
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 3: them around for the year, and I sat down with

433
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: him for an hour or so in our studio and

434
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: did some interviews with him to talk about all of

435
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: those things.

436
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: What blew me Away was he never has a break.

437
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: It's like his break was like late July early August,

438
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: that break between summer baseball and football season starting, because

439
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: and then they can't have any football, They can't have

440
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: any offseason stuff after July thirtieth, So like from August

441
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: first to August tenth, whereas only ten days off in

442
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: an entire calendar year.

443
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. Right.

444
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 3: So here's one thing about Chase's goaltending, and this is

445
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: true story. He never played hockey in the offseason, right right,

446
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: Think about all the other goalies all over the state

447
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: who are just killing it three hundred and fifty days

448
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: out of the year to get better at goaltending. He

449
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: would show up because yeah, my buddies, and not before

450
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: like pee Wee tryouts. We would go over to Blake

451
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: on the Friday before tryouts and we'd shoot some pucks

452
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: on me for a little bit. That was his extent

453
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: of training before Pee Wee Double. He wasn't play on

454
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: the b teams in Indiana. He was on the top

455
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 3: team every year which blew me Away won a state

456
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: championship is a Peewee one state championship as a bantam

457
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: he is a winner and if he chooses hockey, some

458
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: hockey team college junior will be very very lucky.

00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 4: when it comes to stamping out teams and just getting

470
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 4: rid of them when they're ready to be beat. Charles

471
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 4: Barkley says, that's kind of been a problem with your squad.

472
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: It wasn't Sunday in Denver. What'd you take from the game,

473
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 4: Benji Benchi.

474
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: Well, you know you can feel our focus sharpening right now.

475
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 7: You know, obviously we've got a game tonight, so we're

476
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 7: going to continue. Guys are locked in. Our defenses is

477
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 7: getting better and better, you know, in a lot of

478
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 7: areas where we've been inconsistent. I think we've been really

479
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 7: good in the last number of games, particularly on this

480
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 7: road trip, namely our physicality, our our attention to detail,

481
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 7: our rebounding, and our lack of fouling. Is we were

482
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 7: good without fouling the other day, and I thought, offensively,

483
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 7: you know, we're doing a good job right now, just

484
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 7: kind of playing the game that's in front of us

485
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 7: every night. It might be a little bit different, obviously,

486
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 7: teams are trying to zero in on Ant. Denver did

487
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 7: a good job of not letting him kind of play

488
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 7: down the stretch by putting two on him, and I

489
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 7: thought he was outstanding getting the ball out and into

490
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 7: you know, the next player's hands, and we just made

491
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 7: the right.

492
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: Play, Chris.

493
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: When the Nuggets don't have Aaron Gordon, and they've been

494
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 4: without him for two long stretches this year, it just

495
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 4: you guys are so much longer than the Nuggets, specifically

496
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 4: when they don't have Gordon. How how much of a

497
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 4: difference does that make not having him against those guys?

498
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, he's a outstanding player. He's a perfect

499
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 7: fit next to the yolkicch He gives them a lot

500
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 7: of things. You know, gives them lanth, he gives them

501
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 7: strength and toughness, and around the rim, he's an outstanding

502
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 7: multi position defender, good rebounder, runs the floor, and he's

503
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 7: really added the three point shot to his game. So

504
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 7: he's becoming a complete player and an all around great.

505
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 5: Threat for those guys.

506
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 7: And you know, he changes with his newfound success from

507
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 7: the three point line. He really changes the spacing out there,

508
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 7: makes it really hard. But what I think where they.

509
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 5: Miss the most is its defense.

510
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 7: Certainly like he's he's he can guard you know, one

511
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 7: through five at times, and you know they need that

512
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 7: guy and that type of guy next to Jokics to

513
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 7: really maximize their defense.

514
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: And with you guys, Kyle Anderson reportedly back in the

515
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 4: mix beloved slow Mo. What what do you like about that?

516
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, man, we love it because he gives us

517
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 7: you know, uh, you know, we play him at the

518
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 7: point guard here, which is what he grew up playing,

519
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 7: and we love his decision making is high IQ basketball.

520
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 7: He's got great lengths. He's also a multi position defender,

521
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 7: which you need right now with with so many skilled

522
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 7: guys in the league, you got to have multitudes of

523
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 7: guys who are comfortable guarding smalls or bigs.

524
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: And but yeah, just a winner.

525
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 7: He was a winner, winning player. He is a winning person.

526
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 7: He just makes winning plays. And it's good to have

527
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 7: him back.

528
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 4: The Denver Nuggets took Bones Highland in the first round

529
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 4: five years ago. Aly out sundown me. He lit them

530
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: up for eighteen six of seven, shooting just fifteen minutes.

531
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: Is is it always special for those guys to have

532
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 4: games like that against their former teams.

533
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 5: Oh, no doubt about it.

534
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 6: It just feels like you see it all.

535
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 5: The time, you know.

536
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 7: And you know, Tim Conley was the one who drafted

537
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 7: Bone Island, and Tim's always been a big believer in Bones,

538
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 7: and he was, you know, he is the reason that

539
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 7: Bones ended up here and we're very glad that he.

540
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 6: Has and he's he's going to pass similar to the

541
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 6: one that we saw on the keel.

542
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 7: You know, when ni Kill first got here, he didn't

543
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 7: play a whole lot, solely found his way into the

544
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 7: the rotation then then made his mark through defense.

545
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 6: And you know, different players for sure, But.

546
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 7: What Bones offers us we really need, you know, a

547
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 7: speedy guard, somebody who can consistently get to the paint

548
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 7: to make threes. He created his own three and that's

549
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 7: stuff that we desperately needed.

550
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 6: So it was fun to watch him.

551
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 7: I thought he was absolutely key to our victory because

552
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 7: once he stabilized the game, almost all by himself in

553
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 7: the second quarter, then we kind of took off.

554
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, people in the crowd at ball Arena, I mean

555
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 4: they were astounded. You know, I would hear all around

556
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: my section, that's bones Highland. We used to have him,

557
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: who knew that's bones. Most impressive to me with Bones

558
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 4: this year is he's shooting I think it's forty six

559
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: and a half percent. I mean, what what's he doing

560
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 4: to get the field goal way above his career average.

561
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 7: Well, he's getting a lot of transition baskets, easy ones too.

562
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 7: With outstanding finisher. You know, he can get an angle

563
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 7: on somebody's quick downhill is long. He's deceptively long, and

564
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 7: he's got when he unfolds, he you know, he has

565
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 7: a nice touch, laying it right enough the glass. He's

566
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 7: shooting the ball well from three point line too, so

567
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 7: that's you know, certainly helping his average.

568
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 6: But he doesn't take bad shots.

569
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 7: You know, I've always sad, it's like you want to

570
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 7: be a good shooter in the in the in the league.

571
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 7: The first thing to get rid of all the bad shots,

572
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 7: and he just takes really good shots.

573
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 4: Chris Finch, head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. They have

574
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 4: they have a game tonight against Memphis. More on that momentarily.

575
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 4: Is it with the last two the Clippers and the Nuggets?

576
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 4: Is it? Is it fair to say the last two

577
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 4: you've played that those guys don't want to play racehorse

578
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 4: basketball and like zing up and down the court, kind

579
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 4: of kind of a slower pace, especially the Clippers.

580
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: And do you like it that way?

581
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

582
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 7: I mean the Clippers are definitely a more deliberate team.

583
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 7: They're they're generally slower. They actually the defense invites the

584
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 7: slow game and encourages the slow game, and you know

585
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 7: they'll they'll they'll run out of their defense with steels

586
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 7: and turnovers, but they're not looking to push the pace

587
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 7: at every moment.

588
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: I would say both.

589
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 6: Teams are opportunistic and transition.

590
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 5: You know, to your point, they don't.

591
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 7: Really want to run up and down all the time,

592
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 7: but Denver is very good when they get out transition.

593
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

594
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 7: Christian Brawn is one of the best wing runners in

595
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 7: the league. And then you have you know, Jok one

596
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 7: of the best passers, but he's also a great full

597
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 7: court passer and a great transition passer and hit ahead passer.

598
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 7: And we were able to mitigate.

599
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 6: That on Sunday, and that's big.

600
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 7: They only had six transition points that they're normally more

601
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 7: potent than that in transition, but again, it was It's

602
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 7: a lot of it's fueled by a lot of it's

603
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 7: fueled by Gordon, he's a great runner, and a lot

604
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 7: of it's fueled by Joki is such a great passer.

605
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 4: So Memphis tonight at Target Center for the first time

606
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: without Jaron Jackson after the trade deadline. What what do

607
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 4: you think about tonight? What are some keys tonight? You

608
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: guys obviously are big favorites.

609
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this is one of those games.

610
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 7: It's it's it's a mindset game as much as anything else.

611
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 7: You know, these guys are look look pretty different after

612
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 7: the trade. Uh, and with with their current roster, they

613
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 7: don't have like a legitimate big on the floor. You know,

614
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 7: they don't have Jackson of course, who's been a problem

615
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 7: for us all season.

616
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 6: Uh, you know they're gonna spread you out, you know,

617
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 6: They're gonna play fast.

618
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 7: And try to get to the paint, kick it out,

619
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 7: shoot a lot of threes. They play like high variants basketball,

620
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 7: like their their their their style. You know if they

621
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 7: all if they start hitting shots, then you're gonna have

622
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 7: you're gonna be in it for a headache because you know,

623
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 7: they can really make shots, and they play quick and

624
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 7: they do a good job of playing for each other.

625
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 5: In that guard. So we gotta slow them down, gotta

626
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: keep them in front.

627
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a lot of one on one defense

628
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 7: is gonna be important for sure tonight.

629
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 5: But you know, it's about our mindset.

630
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 7: We gotta we got to back up what we did

631
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 7: on Sunday with a good performance tonight at home.

632
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 4: Could be a could be a big one for Root

633
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 4: each night, right, I mean, with that size advantage, feed

634
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: the kiddy and put Rudy on a big game.

635
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, And you know it's but they're gonna they're

636
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 7: they're they're very, very accustomed to putting Rudy in some

637
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 7: tricky situations which we'll leave him, you know, exposed in rotation.

638
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 7: So it's not just being big at the rim. He's

639
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 7: gonna have to cover some ground on the perimeter, and

640
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 7: which is great because you know, we're going to see

641
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 7: this this style in the playoff a lot, and teams

642
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 7: are gonna dare us to try to take Rudy off

643
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 7: the floor, and you know we we don't generally do that.

644
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 7: So it's it's but Rudy has to adjust and make

645
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 7: the right rotations, you know, rather than just be rooted

646
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 7: at the rim where where we know he's really good.

647
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 4: And and Toronto's here after that. Tough customers at times,

648
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: these raptors. When when when you came here from the

649
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: Toronto bench and and you were a key assessed assistant

650
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: for the for Toronto and and Chris for those who

651
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 4: don't remember, became head coach basically middle of the season

652
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: here a half decade ago. When when that went down

653
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: the way it did, did it surprise you?

654
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it definitely surprised me.

655
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 7: I mean it's kind of unusual to leave one team

656
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 7: as a coach in the middle of the season. I mean,

657
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 7: players do it all time and trade, but they don't

658
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 7: have the choice. So the opportunity came and certainly blast

659
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 7: and was quite unique. But I always will be forever

660
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 7: and indebted to the Messiah and Nick Nurse and all

661
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 7: the people who in Toronto and ownership Larry Tannenbaum at

662
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 7: the time. Now those three are all have moved on.

663
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 7: But you know, they they recognized what a great opportunity

664
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 7: was for me, and they gracefully let me, let me

665
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 7: leave and and come here.

666
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 6: Which is, you know, been the highlight of my life

667
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 6: professionally for sure.

668
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I mean, has anybody else ever

669
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: done that?

670
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 4: I like, I don't recall any examples of a coach

671
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: leaving a team during the season and becoming a head

672
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: coach of another team.

673
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, the only one I can remember it was yon

674
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 6: o'hollins did it.

675
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: I can't.

676
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 6: I think he left.

677
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 7: Milwaukee and went to Memphis, you know, right at the

678
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 7: start of the grit and grind era.

679
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lionel Hollins.

680
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you make a reference like that,

681
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: then we're gonna have to reference the big, thick upper body.

682
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: And he was tough in the key and like he

683
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 4: and Adrian Dantley kind of played the same way a little.

684
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: Bit, remember that.

685
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no doubt.

686
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 7: Multiple time WM sorry, multiple time NBA champion, once with

687
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 7: my Sixers and once with Portland I believe right.

688
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're your sixers, but a couple of Sundays ago

689
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 4: they were everybody else's sixers, if you know what I mean. Yeah,

690
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 4: no doubt like a couple of a couple of quicks.

691
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 4: To close here for Finchy Chris finch Head, coach of

692
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 4: the t Wolves, Io and Bones together is I mean

693
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 4: they pushed the pace that that that adds a little

694
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 4: speed to the equation here, doesn't it.

695
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we love it.

696
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 7: It's a good change of pace, you know from Anthony

697
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 7: and Julius, who are a little again, we're a little

698
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 7: bit more deliberate there, although that unit with the first unit,

699
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 7: you know, Dante and Jayden do a really good job

700
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 7: of getting out and stretching the floor. But what we

701
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 7: love about Iowa and Bones is they they can convert quickly,

702
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 7: so it's not just playing fast.

703
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 5: They get to the bucket and they.

704
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 7: Can finish, so they take opportunities and turn them into points.

705
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 5: In a hurry.

706
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 4: Well, last one here. It's a two parter and I've

707
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 4: been a little out of pocket the last few days.

708
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 4: Great seeing you guys in Denver Sunday, by the way,

709
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, have you like have you been asked a

710
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: lot of questions of late about your relationship with Anthony

711
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 4: Edwards off the past, the ball walk off Clippers Night.

712
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, of course, you know, I've had a few.

713
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 5: It's not been too too many.

714
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 7: I think most people who are in the game understand

715
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 7: that these exchanges happen and we move on.

716
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: I mean, Anthony and I've barely disgusted.

717
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 7: We just talked about it a little bit, kind of laughed,

718
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 7: and you know, we're both fine, and you know there's

719
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 7: been no residual issue here, you know, but I mean

720
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 7: there was a something captured between Luca and j J

721
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 7: Riddick the other day. I mean, you know, it's a

722
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 7: competitive environment that we work in, and you know, we're

723
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 7: not afraid to share our feelings at the time.

724
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 6: And and and I think it's.

725
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 7: It's good when you can have these exchanges and then

726
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 7: everything's fine afterwards.

727
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 5: I mean, let everybody know that, you know, we got.

728
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 7: A healthy relationship, because we'll be able to to to

729
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 7: move on and you know, had we've had those types

730
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 7: of exchanges with multiple people on on the on the

731
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 7: on the on the teams, not just exclusive.

732
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 4: To Anthony, except so to land the plane on this

733
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: and the conversation being a coach, and I'm thinking of

734
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: you and ann being a coach, a teacher, a dissenting

735
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 4: a dissenting opinion, sometimes a surrogate family member, and all

736
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 4: of that to a superstar. I'm guessing we're working with

737
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 4: and befriending Anthony Edwards has absolutely been a highlight of your.

738
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 7: Career, oh absolutely, And watching him grow and become the

739
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 7: player he has and put the work in and benefit

740
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 7: from it. And obviously everybody in organizationally is we're.

741
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: Benefiting from it.

742
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 7: But does any anyone will tell you like everybody wants

743
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 7: to be coached, you know, myself included, Like I want

744
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 7: feedback on things that I can do differently or better

745
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 7: and and and that's just that's that comes with an

746
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 7: environment and a level of accountability. He can't be afraid

747
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 7: of your best players, like you know you can't. You

748
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 7: can't be afraid of your best players. I don't think

749
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 7: any coach you know that's trying to to to win

750
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 7: at the highest levels or create a culture of you know,

751
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 7: coaching and accountability is going to shy away from being

752
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 7: you know, from coaching.

753
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 5: His best players.

754
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 7: I've always thought you're you're only going to be as

755
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 7: good in your ability and your willingness to coach your

756
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 7: best players.

757
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 5: And the great thing for us.

758
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 7: Is our best players are highly coachable.

759
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 4: Benchi FINCHI rolsh Memphis this Evening, Wild Tampa Bay Lightning

760
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 4: this evening. That one's on kfam as those teams approach

761
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 4: the playoffs and hopefully are formidable in said postseason KFA

762
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: in Sports talk Time eleven forty five.

763
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: Back after this, it was a talker Tuesday nine to

764
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: noon via the free iHeartRadio app Northern Fire Grillin and

765
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Barbecue Supply. I asked, Hey, if I told you that

766
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings would add Kyler Murray to the quarterback room,

767
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: what do you think, Well, a bunch of talkbacks we've

768
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: already played. Here's a few more before one of you

769
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: walks away with a gift card.

770
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, Max for Megan, Here for me.

771
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 8: Kyler Murray is the best option for this team because

772
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 8: he's the youngest option.

773
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: If we get Aaron Rodgers, if we.

774
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 8: Get Gino Smith and JJ doesn't turn out to be

775
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 8: the guy, we're in the same boat for next season.

776
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 8: Kyler at least gives us a chance for next season,

777
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 8: and he can develop because he's only twenty eight. And

778
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 8: also right now, I think Cala Marie's a better quarterback

779
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 8: fact than Jaj McCarthy is, because JJ just hasn't proved

780
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 8: it yet.

781
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 2: So that's my take. Appreciate you, Bud.

782
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, big hitter Shfty Adam Schefter ESPN. Yeah, he tweeted

783
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 4: six minutes ago the Minnesota Vikings are now open to

784
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 4: trading Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Grenard per sources. Okay,

785
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: they would like to keep Grenard, but they also have

786
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 4: salary cap issues they're working through that have led to

787
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 4: these trade conversations. That's from Schefty. H Darnold out of

788
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 4: the shotgun four man rush hit again.

789
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: He'sdacked again when the.

790
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: Ball came out, dive on at Vikings come on. The

791
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 4: ball is bouncing about it the forty five Seattle recovered

792
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 4: it back at the forty five yard line, so that's

793
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 4: going to be a lot of eight yards. That is

794
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: Darnald's six fumble this year. He's lost four. He had

795
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 4: no idea where Dallas Turner was coming from.

796
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 2: Dallas Turner though talkbacks that he left.

797
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 9: Indeed, all right, this is Andy from Minneapolis and Kyler

798
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 9: Murray would be an unmitigated disaster. Think of a Josh

799
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 9: Freeman situation. I know Koc is the quarterback whisperer, but

800
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 9: you need to yell at a Kyler Murray not whisper

801
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 9: It would just not work.

802
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 4: So we've played a handful of those today. Yeah, from

803
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 4: what you've seen with the voluminous amount that came into

804
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 4: the free iHeart Audio app, would you say a majority

805
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 4: of them are Kyler Yes, Kyler you know? Or in

806
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 4: between the majority of them I would say are no, No,

807
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 4: thank you. Including to put a rap on a talker Tuesday,

808
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 4: somebody's walking away with a a Northern Fire Grilling and

809
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 4: Barbecue supply gift card twenty five bucks for being the

810
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 4: tastiest talkback on a talker Tuesday. This was an interesting take.

811
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 10: Here's Damon a nord O Pa Damon from Princeton.

812
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 5: Here.

813
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 10: I believe that Kyler Murray will be coming to Minnesota

814
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 10: for a couple of reasons. One, last few years, the

815
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 10: Vikings have brought in a punter to compete with Ryan Right,

816
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 10: so Kyler Murray would be perfect throwing up all those passes.

817
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 10: And the second would be is we can get him

818
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 10: on a bat minimum. So the Twins might decide to

819
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 10: sign him because he's a heck of a baseball player

820
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 10: as well.

821
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: I always love that one. How does that lose?

822
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: That is next dimensional think game, well done, and that's

823
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: why Damon's a winner today gets twenty five bucks to

824
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: Northern Fire Northern firebbq dot com with the jokes and

825
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: all of that. The call of duty right now, just

826
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: taking the temperature of the Vikings fan base kind of

827
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: negative on the idea of Kyler Murray. Whether it's the fit,

828
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: it's what we know from a far attitude wise, et cetera.

829
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: The complexity of the scheme.

830
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: But I wanted to dig into that a bit via

831
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: the talkback machine this morning.

832
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: Pa, it's hot.

833
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 4: I mean I didn't realize until I was flying back

834
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 4: from Denvery yesterday how how real people felt The Anthony

835
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 4: Richardson situation at the combine became Yeah, maybe it is reel,

836
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 4: but I mean you got decent names tied to it, like, hey,

837
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: you know, think about this, it's just so much Gino

838
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 4: Smith's in there.

839
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: We just heard Aaron Rodgers mentioned.

840
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: Well see the way you went down the road with

841
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: with Gino during guessline.

842
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 2: I know we're running out of time, but that kind

843
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: of tells.

844
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: You it's a Max from Egan, and he mentioned and

845
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: he was pressionate about it, kind of the idea of

846
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: I want the youngest guy. And I mentioned that too,

847
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of the idea of if this works, that's a

848
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: long term option. But if you were to go with

849
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: a Gino, maybe that lends credence to the idea that

850
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: Nine's going to be fine, that we have not lost

851
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: touch with nine, and so therefore Gino or another Derek

852
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: Carr wrangling him out of retirement, that that would potentially

853
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: be the short term option while we watched the kid

854
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 1: continue to grow.

855
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,400
