Speaker 2: Christen King and here she is. Hello Olivia, Hi Paul,

7
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Love Covenant. I've been one hundred

8
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: point three kfam. We last week we chatted about a

9
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: lot of things, including Olivia's podcast Talk Goldie to Me,

10
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: but subsequently texting with her and chatting with her a

11
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: little bit and learning what she knows about the NHL

12
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: and the Wild in Dallas. We've invited her back in

13
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: to chat about Maria topics, including the Wild getting the

14
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Dallas Stars tomorrow night. First Wild Seattle. The Kraken are

15
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: really struggling right now. They've lost a bunch in a row.

16
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: Wild had lost to a couple of teams struggling in

17
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: Vancouver and Calgary. They won the game for one Zucarello

18
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: and a Middleton leave with head injuries. Coach John Hines

19
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: joins nine to noon, an hour from now, but to

20
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: end a road trip with a victory like that. What

21
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the Wild against Seattle.

22
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Wild get that victory. They have

23
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: two empty net goals in that game. Seattle is you know,

24
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: not maybe not the best performing team this year, but

25
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: a huge win for them to get kind of back

26
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: on track. In their last you know, four games, they

27
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: have two wins and two losses, with you know, each

28
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: goalie getting one of those wins. I think that shows

29
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: a lot about the Wilder you know, ability to play

30
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: both goalies, and in that game, there was lots of injury,

31
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: like you said, and so I think it's just a

32
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: matter of you know, who's who's healthy tonight or you

33
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: know for Thursday, you know, for Thursday when they played

34
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 3: the Dallas Stars.

35
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: But boldie Eric.

36
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: Sinek Johansson, they had, you know, a huge game and

37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: they carried that day all very positive, you know, two

38
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 3: goals and even shots six and six. So I think

39
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: I think it was a great game for them, and

40
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: I'm I'm glad to see them kind of getting back

41
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: on track. Here.

42
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring this up with Coach Hines about

43
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: an hour from now. First, the hit on Zo Grell

44
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: by Vince Dunn, not middle of the ice, but open ice.

45
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: What did you think of the hit? Did you think

46
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: it was dirty? Because I'm asking the head coach that

47
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: in an hour.

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: I think it was a good hit. I've heard both ways.

49
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: But you know, the NHL they called it a clean

50
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: hit after they overlooked it. So so I'm not gonna,

51
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, after after they reviewed it, I'm not gonna

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: say that it wasn't.

53
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: I mean, and you know more about this than me,

55
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: never played hockey, but it zu Corello made a little

56
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: turn right before the contact, and and and that that

57
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: I think is the key to this equation where if

58
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: we got a blind side hit and somebody's just waylaying

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: on somebody and taking them out, and you know, they

60
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: don't necessarily see everything that's coming and they're not making

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: like quote a hockey move end.

62
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Quote, I think I might look at it a little differently.

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: But I think zu Corello just fortunately got up and

64
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if he doesn't play tomorrow night.

65
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: But I just think he he was in a bad spot,

66
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: you know.

67
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: I agree, And he's not gigantic, so I think that also,

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: you know, plays into into that factor. But I think

69
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: it was huge to see a rookie go and kind

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: of aid him. Yeah, I think that was of super Yeah,

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: I think that's super cool to see that he was

72
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: the one to go and kind of stand up for him.

73
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 3: And I think that shows a lot about the Wild

74
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: team as well.

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, yeah, because that's I mean they people think,

76
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: you know, fighting and hockey, and you know, like like

77
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: even in that game that I think that thing happened

78
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: like five minutes into the game, then into the first

79
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: end of the first period, Ryan Hartman's looking for don

80
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: So I mean the payback, whether you think it's petulant

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: or not, it is of that game and it's age old,

82
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: and it could take place like something happens in November,

83
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you see Vince done in

84
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: January or February. He kind of forgot about it and

85
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: bam he just gets nailed out of nowhere. So I

86
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: respect that part of the game. I agree with you

87
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: when when you're trying to win favor with coaches and

88
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: personnel people and teammates, try to establish yourself that you

89
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: belong and a team leader like Dzuki goes down and

90
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: you're the first guy in there, throwing punches. That goes

91
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: a long way in the NHL.

92
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: Exactly, And I think it does show that the Wild

93
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: are very team first and willing to stand up for

94
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: each other and that they're just.

95
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: A close team this year.

96
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

97
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: Olivia King with Youth Hockey Hub in Studio nine to

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: now at Olivia Christen King via Instagram and TikTok. She

99
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: also has a Twitter feed and you can learn more

100
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: about this podcast at All the Spots Talk Goalie to

101
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: Me Now the Dallas Stars Tomorrow. Night Stars have an

102
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: awesome road record, by far the most power play goals

103
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: in the league. They've beaten the Wild twelve of the

104
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: last sixteen times. The Wild haven't beaten the Stars in

105
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: regulation in two and a half years. When you played

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: for the Gophers women's hockey team, and you guys always

107
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: were good, I mean you look at the rankings and

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: it was you or Wisconsin or whatever. One do one

109
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: do one two? Maybe the answer is Wisconsin. But when

110
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: you played for the Maroon and Gold, what was there

111
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: a thorn in the side team for you guys that

112
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: you either had trouble getting by? Are they just like

113
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: bug you every time?

114
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

115
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: I would definitely say Wisconsin.

116
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean the Gophers in the past, you know, six

117
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: years have been you know, more than that have been

118
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: top three. It's either Wisconsin, it's Ohio State, or it's

119
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: the Gophers. And Wisconsin has been such a powerhouse in

120
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: the past few years. I mean, you know, even this season,

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: they've been ranked number one almost the whole.

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Year, and seems like Sarah Nurse played their ten years.

123
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, yeah, and they have had such iconic players, but.

124
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: So have the Gophers.

125
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: And the Gophers were able to split with Wisconsin this season,

126
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 3: and it has been a while since since they've been

127
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: able to do so. So I think this year is

128
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: kind of anyone's game, I think, even for you know,

129
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: looking into the season and Olympics and seeing that people

130
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: are going to be gone for a while, I mean weeks,

131
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: So I think that's really going to shake things up

132
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: and allow points to be distributed a little bit differently.

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: So I guess we'll see. But Wisconsin was definitely the.

134
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: Thorn in our side when I was there, and that

135
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: shows as well with how many national championships they've won

136
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: in the past few years.

137
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: A recent member of your podcast, Talk Goalie to me,

138
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: Maddie Rooney, an Olympic gold medal winning goalie. Can you

139
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean it's when I say can you imagine? The answer,

140
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: of course is no, because you've never done it. But

141
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: if you could let your mind, if you could cast

142
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: your gaze or let your mind open up to what

143
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: it would be like being a goalie or playing in

144
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: the Olympics and being on one of the best teams

145
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: in the world and having a legit chance to win

146
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: the gold and say, like Italy, I mean, that's just fantastic.

147
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine that.

148
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: I mean, as a kid, the Olympics was something that

149
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: everyone strived for because there was no one professional league

150
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: for women, and now there is, so I think that

151
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: like is so great for younger the younger generation.

152
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: But you know, especially as Maddie.

153
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: Maddie won that gold medal game in a shootout, I mean,

154
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: that was like all on her back and she was

155
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: twenty years old.

156
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: So I can't played at Duluth, right.

157
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: Yes, she played at Duluth and she played andover boys

158
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: and girls in high school. Oh jeez, And I just

159
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: like I can't imagine that how crazy that must have been.

160
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: And talking with her, I mean she is such a

161
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: calm person and it's apparent why she was able to

162
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: do that. Mm hm.

163
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: You mentioned Andover and you know they're with Andover and

164
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: the youth sports programs.

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: Now, now you went to Brandard High School.

166
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: Right yep?

167
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so Branard Lakes area. Maybe this is transpired to

168
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: your school or some schools up there. But like the

169
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: dear friend of mine has kids that are playing their

170
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: first year in tackle football in Apple Valley, So I'll

171
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: live in Eden Prairie. So therefore when they play in

172
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: that area shaka be Jaska chan asen ep something like that,

173
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: I'll go to as many games as I can. I

174
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: watched them, i'd say, a couple of months ago, play

175
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: in Shakapee. And to see the fields popping up in

176
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: shokape and how the youth programs are becoming so voluminous

177
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: and so good and feeding into middle school and then

178
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: to the high school. And Shokapee is a player and

179
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: you know certain certain sports where maybe they weren't before.

180
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: Andover might be like the poster child for that. And

181
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you know, Andover football, basketball, the core

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: four or however you want to look at it.

183
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: Weren't any good before. I wouldn't know.

184
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: I just know that a lot of people have moved

185
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: to the Endover area and what's happening to the youth

186
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: sports programs is really a beautiful thing. I think, you know,

187
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: Maddie Rooney probably was part.

188
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: Of that, oh my, and this absolutely I think the

189
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: keyword in that is like feeder programs especially. You know,

190
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: we were talking this past weekend when I was doing

191
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: color for the Gopher Saint Thomas games, and it was

192
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: just a constant talking about Andover because both teams have had.

193
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: So many girls come from the Andover.

194
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: Association and how that just feeds into Division one, you know,

195
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: women's hockey especially. I mean for both those teams, the

196
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: Gophers have had people like Peyton Hemp, who came out

197
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,479
Speaker 3: of Andover and now she's playing in the p WHL.

198
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: And they've had they have people, you know, current players

199
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: like Madison Kaiser who who played for Andover you know

200
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: at one point and.

201
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Sataniser played for Holy Family.

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: Didn't she, Yeah, she played for Holy Family too. She

203
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 4: left Andover and.

204
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: So Holy Family to Brad Frost.

205
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: Yes exactly, and Over to Holy Family called Bradfrost, and

206
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: you know, Saint Thomas had had as you know, over

207
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: three girls from Hanover and so I think that just

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: shows like what a feeder program they are alongside Dyna

209
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: of course.

210
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's age old. I mean og would be

211
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the term.

212
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's like that Eden Prairie Lakeville maybe a

213
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: little bit after that, you know what I'm saying. But

214
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: but the Gopher Saint Thomas game where you were the analyst, Okay,

215
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: when you hear about that last week, it's probably my

216
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: fault when that happens. Where can we watch?

217
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it just depends on the game. I know

218
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: that most of them.

219
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: You know, on Saturday it was streamed ten plus and

220
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: then on Friday it was Fox.

221
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: Nine Yeah, Fox nine plus Yeah.

222
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 4: Fox nine plus.

223
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: Sweet.

224
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: So that's been really fun. I mean it's easy to

225
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: talk about your friends. Yeah, you know that those both

226
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: both of those games, I played for.

227
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 4: Both teams MLBUM and I have both programs. So m hmm,

228
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: that's easy for me.

229
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: Was it was it like a like TV, like a

230
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: TV call via stream or a Fox nine plus would

231
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: be TV.

232
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were both radio and yeahtreamed.

233
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: Well, the reason I bring it up I had the

234
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: privilege in twenty twenty one. I think they're twenty twenty

235
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: two of calling a couple of Minnesota Wild games, doing

236
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: play by play for a couple of games and did

237
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: them from the corner at then Excel Energy Center in

238
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: a suite with a bunch of people in there. Let's

239
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: if I'm going to do it, let's make it a show.

240
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: Really enjoyed myself. But what I learned in hockey. You

241
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 2: can put together these game calling depth charts. You can

242
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: have your board, your numbers, your manutia, your last ten games,

243
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: your career, friendship stories and everything. You can't have your

244
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: head down a lot in hockey when you're calling a

245
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: game because you're in the middle of a story talking

246
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: about Saint Matty Rooney going back to andover. I mean,

247
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: there could be a goal, three shots, and two fights

248
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: during that entire story.

249
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: And that's what I love about it. I think it's

250
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: so fun because it is game time. You have to

251
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: know your stuff. You can prepare all you want, but

252
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: it's just like studying for a test. You can prepare

253
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 3: all you want, but when you get down to the test,

254
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: you don't have your notes, so you have to know

255
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: what you're talking about and that's the coolest thing about it.

256
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: And if you don't know what you're talking about, people

257
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: are going to be able to tell.

258
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: Right right, you just minimize the damage, laugh it off

259
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: and move only. Olivia King is our guest with a

260
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: youth hockey hub. Met her last week so nine to

261
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: noon as a new friend when it comes to chatting

262
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: about hockey at all levels, and she was a goalie

263
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: for the University of Minnesota hockey team along with Saint Thomas,

264
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: played a brainer high school goalie for the Maroon and

265
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Golf for five years. And you know, when it comes

266
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: to goaltending with the Wild with a coach Hines joining

267
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: about forty five minutes from now the Valstad Gos Falstad

268
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: Gus Falstad Gus, you know, it's a constant rotation. I

269
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: just wonder, either via matchups or performance related that you

270
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: see like neither one of them has played themselves.

271
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: Out of a right to be in this rotation.

272
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: As you move on farther in the season and you

273
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: start to get closer to the postseason with higher leverage games,

274
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: I just wonder if the every other game bit is

275
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 2: going to stay, you know what I mean?

276
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know exactly what you're saying, and

277
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: I think it is so it is so valuable that

278
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,479
Speaker 3: the Wild.

279
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: Have two goals that are playing hot right now.

280
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: I mean, there would be no hot streak without both

281
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: of those goalies. And I think it's also nice that

282
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,239
Speaker 3: you know, Gus Buss he has you know, he has experience,

283
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: he's a veteran, and then you know the Wall of

284
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: Saint Paul he is new and he's you know.

285
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: Up there nickname bomb.

286
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: You know you've made it when you have a nickname.

287
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know where mine's at, but maybe one day, Okay, what.

288
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: Is your nickname? What was your nickname when you play?

289
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: Oh Kinger?

290
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: I feel like, but maybe not as iconic as as

291
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: both of those. Yeah, but I think as playoffs, you know,

292
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: it comes down to it. I think it would be

293
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: valuable to play both of them if they're still hot.

294
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: But that's not usually how things go, and I guess

295
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: we'll see how things shake up. I mean, you know,

296
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: as a young guy, a rookie who's up for you know,

297
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: in the in the Calder discussion for a Rookie.

298
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: Of the Year. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

299
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: He has four shutouts on the season already, it'd be

300
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: hard to just veto him. But he's also young, so

301
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: so we'll see how it shakes out.

302
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: So with with yesper Bastet, what do you like about

303
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: the way he plays? I mean he and Gus played differently.

304
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: Ballstet's not as big what or yeah, just not stature

305
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: whise not as big.

306
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: But what do you like the way he plays?

307
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: I absolutely love the fact that last year he you know,

308
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: was was sent down and he had a tough year.

309
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: He had to fight through a lot of adversity to

310
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: get back to the wild and then now that he has,

311
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: he's showcasing his talent and what he can do at

312
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: such a high level, and you know, outside of just

313
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: on the ice. I love that mentality and to see

314
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: that from a goalie, I think that shows a long

315
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: career in the NHL.

316
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: The producer for nine to Noon, Eric Nordquist, has made it.

317
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: He has multiple nicknames, one of them is the Con

318
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: And they would like to chat with you.

319
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 5: Well, I just wanted to continue on with Valsteed. I'm

320
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 5: just curious and you playing goaltender, what do you battle

321
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 5: when you're either trying to make a big growth step

322
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: like Valsted has had to do, from shaky debut and

323
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: just what do we have in the last offseason to

324
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 5: now what we're seeing? So what are you battling there

325
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 5: mentally versus what are you battling when you're on a

326
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 5: freaking heater. You mentioned the shutouts and now you are

327
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 5: here and now you are the Wall of Saint Paul.

328
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: But now it's continuing to show up. What kind of

329
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 5: mental games or mental machinations are going through your head

330
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: in those spots.

331
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you know, you look at

332
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: football and goalie is like the quarterback of hockey, So

333
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: you face a lot of adversity when you don't do well,

334
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: especially you know, I'm sure on that level, you know,

335
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: you face a lot of adversity. So you know, having

336
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: maybe not the best season last year and then and

337
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: then coming here and facing a little bit adversity, Like

338
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 3: you said, it's hard to get out of your own head,

339
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 3: and then I'm sure at that level, facing adversity from outside,

340
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: you know, from media, from fans, So you know, just

341
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 3: being able to reset and regain your focus and focus

342
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 3: on your game and your team is the most important thing.

343
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 4: And then when you're on a high.

344
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 3: As well, just being able to be confident, but not

345
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: too confident, And I think it's crucial that he does

346
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: have another goalie that he can lean on and a

347
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 3: vet so so I think that's that's also great. You know,

348
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 3: you have a great rotation where you know if you

349
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: can't play well, your goalie partner is going to play

350
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 3: and they're going to do really well. So you have

351
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: to be able to still be there and put the

352
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: time in and push yourself because you know somebody's there

353
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: to take your job if you're not doing it, and

354
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: I think you know that's also a reason why they're

355
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: doing so well.

356
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: What what's it like being a goalie on a penalty

357
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: kill or in a shootout?

358
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I think being a goalie on the

359
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: kill and in a shootout is one of the best

360
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: feelings because you feel a lot of pressure, and that's

361
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: why you play goalie. It's exciting and you're able to

362
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 3: play more of a role than maybe you usually usually

363
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: are on a team, and you're able to kind of

364
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: control the game a little bit.

365
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: So I personally love.

366
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: That feeling and it's something that you know, now that

367
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm not playing hockey, I miss a little bit and

368
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: I get that feeling a little bit, you know, like

369
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: when I'm calling games and stuff. So that's why I

370
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: you know, I am very passionate about that now, but

371
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: I think that's the best feeling.

372
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 2: Olivia, as we mentioned, does a podcast called Talk Goalie

373
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: to Me at Youth Hockey Up. You can learn more

374
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: about it. And your recent guest is a Julia Manatti.

375
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 2: Who is Julia Manatti and what interest did you with

376
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: her story?

377
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? So I had Julia Minaudi on and it was

378
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: a lot.

379
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: To talk about the Gopher versus Saint Thomas games this

380
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: past weekend. You know, I think that's a blooming rivalry

381
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 3: in the Twin Cities, Saint Thomas with their brand new

382
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: LEEA and Penny Anderson Arena in the next you know,

383
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: I think in the next eight years Saint Thomas has

384
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: a national championship on the Division one women's side, They're

385
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: playing in the best conference, they have a brand new rink,

386
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: They're going to steal recruits.

387
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 4: That's what I think, and so that's why I had

388
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: Julia on.

389
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: She she is a transfer from Clarkson and she's doing

390
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: super well for the Tommies and just having a crazy season.

391
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 3: I love the way that she plays goalie. She competes

392
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: at a very very high level, and I wanted to

393
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 3: to see how she ticked and what made her so

394
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: good and why the change to come over to Saint Thomas.

395
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: And she was super fun to have on, very very

396
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 3: smart and funny. So that was kind of, you know,

397
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: a little bit refreshed. She nice to have a little

398
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: bit of silly conversation. We're about the same age, so

399
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: that was nice. And yeah, that's what interested me. She's

400
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 3: a great goal is she competes super hard, and watching

401
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 3: her in these two games against the Gophers, I mean,

402
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: first game was a really close game. She had lots

403
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 3: of shots, I think like forty some shots. And then

404
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 3: second game was not as close. I mean, the Tommies

405
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: played okay. The Gophers kind of came out and showed

406
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: their stuff, which was nice to see after two kind

407
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: of stale weekends. And the Gophers come out with a sweep. Yeah,

408
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: which you know is kind of how we would draw

409
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: that up. I mean, the Gophers are number three right

410
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: now and the Tommies at one point were top fifteen

411
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: but aren't anymore.

412
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: And what about the men's program, it, I mean it

413
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: was taking its lumps early, but then it started playing

414
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: some blue blood type teams closer. But I think at

415
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: last Jack, you know what, Like, I think they were

416
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: as the as the pair wise goes. I think earlier

417
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: this year they were in a pretty good spot. I

418
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: don't know where they are now.

419
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're in a they're getting better and

420
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: they're in a lot of a better spot than they

421
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 3: were in.

422
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 4: So that's you know, encouraging.

423
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: But I will say, you know, everyone I talked to

424
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: has kind of just discounted them this year, and I'm

425
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,719
Speaker 3: not saying that's where I'm at. Yeah, I think, you know,

426
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: looking into second half is when games really matter, and

427
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: what we'll really start to see is you know, like

428
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: hopefully on.

429
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 4: The up and up. But but yeah, I.

430
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: Think I think it just hasn't been you know, maybe

431
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: the greatest year, but there's so much season left.

432
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: Hey, last one here and last week when we met,

433
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: we chatted about the importance whether you're a man or

434
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 2: a woman playing multiple sports from an agility standpoint, a

435
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 2: camaraderie standpoint, just a matura a maturing of the body

436
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: and mind standpoint, And I know hockey would be your identity,

437
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: but I also know that that a brainer high school,

438
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: you played to lacrosse, correct, yep, and soccer and soccer okay, well,

439
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: let let's let's let's it could be either one, but

440
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: let's stick with lacrosse and in playing lacrosse. How does

441
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: hockey help with lacrosse and vice versa or is there

442
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: nothing to it?

443
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

444
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: I think playing multiple sports, especially like a sport like lacrosse,

445
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: which does have similar rules to hockey, I think it

446
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: helps so much, especially in high school level. In the

447
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: high school level, because most often than not, you're playing

448
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: with the very similar people on both sports, so it

449
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: helps your relationships grow. But also I mean, I mean,

450
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: you're just able to get out there and move your

451
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: body in different ways and that's super.

452
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 4: Important for your health.

453
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, keeping injuries down, and it's just

454
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: it's just fun to get out of your head and

455
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 3: do something else other than playing one sport, even if

456
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: you are very, very focused on that one sport. I

457
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: think that causes, you know, mentally, some rift at some

458
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: points because if you're if you're having.

459
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: An off game or an off week.

460
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: With that on sport, well, you have no outlet to

461
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 3: kind of get back on track. And I think that

462
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: for me, that was, you know, playing my alternate sport

463
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: in high school. And I think that's really important for kids, especially, you.

464
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: Know Rachel Ramsey right.

465
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: Yes, it's time to drop the pot.

466
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: No, she did that and let's play hockey back in

467
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: the day when her dad didn't jump up to the

468
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: microphone and she tried to and it's tied to drop

469
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: the pot.

470
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: You know, I like that.

471
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: I'm sure Rachel's listening right now. She greatly appreciates that.

472
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: Wronger with the ponytail. Thank you, Olivia will chat Zoom,

473

Speaker 1: We're back after this.

477
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 5: More hockey conversation coming up at the top of the hour.

478
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 5: Final hour will begin with Minnesota wild head coach John

479
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 5: Hines is the Wilder hosting the Dallas Stars Manana tomorrow

480
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 5: night at Grand Casino Arenas. To look forward to that,

481
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 5: and then for as far as the vikings for an

482
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 5: NFL centric segment here and then I believe again during

483
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 5: the final hour vikings watch parties we've been doing for

484
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 5: their away games in twenty twenty five, Guardsy and I

485
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: have kind of headmanned some watch parties at Gray's Food

486
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 5: Hall by Travail. It's behind Target Field in Minneapolis. Awesome spot.

487
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 5: In each watch party, tons of prizes and swag and

488
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 5: gift cards. The food and drink options are nearly endless.

489
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: So Gray's Food Hall really really cool spot in Minneapolis.

490
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 5: I'll be there this Sunday night at seven o'clock for

491
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 5: the Vikings Cowboys game. So come join hang out and

492
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 5: let's watch. Let's watch Flores versus CD and Pickens and

493
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 5: an our guy JJ versus that hideous uber Iberflus defense.

494
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: Looking forward to that, and let's let's give Nordo a

495
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: good show. What's the place called again?

496
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 5: It's Grays as in you Grays, you eat a raised

497
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: food Hall by Travail in Minneapolis.

498
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: It's a cool spot. Yep.

499
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: Sunday night, that'll be good seven for the Boom Boom

500
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: by thirty for the pre game with Moosey Moosey with

501
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: mister Muss and it'll be the penultimate road game for

502
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings in the twenty twenty five season. After

503
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: that they head to New Jersey, to play the New

504
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: York Giants, than Christmas Day Football against the Lions, and

505
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: close it up against the Green Bay Packers, who are

506
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 2: one of the four top favorites to win Super Bowl sixty.

507
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: The four favorites to win the Super Bowl are the

508
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: Rams at four to one, and at this stage of

509
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: the season, four to one is kind of a lukewarm number.

510
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: This is the time of the year where you usually

511
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: get to a round plus one, sixty, plus one eighty

512
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: plus two forty, things like that. They're plus four hundred.

513
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: They're four to one favorites, which is kind of an indicator.

514
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: The Sucker still looks to be a little wide open. Yeah,

515
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 2: Seattle's eight to one, Green Bay is eight to one,

516
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: and Buffalo is eight and a half to one. Those

517
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: are the top four favorites. It's jumbled. Is it wide

518
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: open this year? Is this the year a long shot,

519
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: you know, like fifteen twenty to one or higher potentially

520
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: gets the money. The first team that we will be

521
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: discussing is a team all out to get the one

522
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: seed in the NFC. They already beat Sam Darnold and

523
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 2: the Super Chickens. It's these guys. Stafford gets a new

524
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: possession in plus territory, short set, a ball fit, he wheels,

525
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: he deals, jumpy.

526
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 6: At the five, pooka gun on one play, a thirty

527
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 6: one yard strike, Poosa Nakula with a new career high

528
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 6: and touchdowns.

529
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: The LA Rams clearly are sitting on a big one

530
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: and largely due to team balance. Now, it was kind

531
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: of a chic pick for a fair amount of people,

532
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: including yours truly kind of jumped on the low hanging

533
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: fruit bandwagon into the season thinking like, if I had

534
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: to have one NFC team where it was a life

535
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: of de scenario, I'm taking those guys when it comes

536
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: to getting to the super Bowl. You know, off the

537
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: Florio conversation an hour ago, the Vikings, Chiefs and Ravens,

538
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: none of them are going to make the playoffs. Ravens

539
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 2: might have the best shot of the three, but that

540
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: thing ain't going right. That's forty one combined wins from

541
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: last year. They're gonna be shut out of the postseason.

542
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: That's astronomical and it's absolutely antithetical and or abnormal when

543
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: it comes to the year after year that makes up

544
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: the NFL. Now, the LA Rams with this team ballance,

545
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 2: their points differential is plus one fifty two. They can

546
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: outscore you and stop you when needed with a youthful, spry,

547
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: fast defense. That is the toughest to stop in the

548
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: NFL from the inside of the defensive line, and it's

549
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: just getting better with age. Matthew Stafford, I mean he's

550
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: since hof first ballot. He was the first overall pick

551
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: in the two thousand and nine draft. And if they

552
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: make it to the Super Bowl, my man's gonna turn

553
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: thirty eight the day before Super Bowl sixty. Aging like

554
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: fine wine is what they call it in the business.

555
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: He leads the league in passing touchdowns. He's tops with

556
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: a touchdown to interception ratio of thirty five to four

557
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: and his fifty completions. He has fifty completions of twenty

558
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: yards or more at age thirty seven, and that's most

559
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: in the game. DeVante has helped big time and that

560
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: was a high end move by those guys. Matthew Stafford

561
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: is absolutely, in my estimation, the game's MVP at age

562
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: thirty seven. We're gonna get some Drake may noise. We're

563
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: gonna get some noise from other places. Yeah, Stafford's gonna

564
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: win him. I don't know what his odds are he's

565
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: gonna win him unless things go completely pear shape the

566
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: rest of the way.

567
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford, he's minus one eighty right now, by the way,

568
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 5: favored favorite, and then Drake's two to one.

569
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, it's that tightly contested.

570
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: Only come Stafford has seven games with three hundred or

571
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: more passing yards and zero interceptions. That's amazing, man, that's

572
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: got to be close to an NFL record. And for

573
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: the Rams this week, good prep race. Good prep races

574
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: coming up, but good prep race this week. For the playoffs,

575
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: they host the Lions and jamieer Gibbs. Now LA has

576
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: allowed four rushing touchdowns all season. Gibbs has thirteen and

577
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: sixteen from scrimmage. So biggest concern these Rams have potentially

578
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: as a one seed with two home games, would be

579
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: San Francisco or Green Bay coming to town because those

580
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: teams travel so well and their fan bases are not cheap.

581
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: Those fans spend thousands to follow their teams in the postseason,

582
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: and they can turn so far into a home game

583
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: of sorts. It already happened once this year earlier in

584
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: the season with the Niners at SO five. Honestly, I

585
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: think that's their biggest concern. As we come down the

586
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: stretch here now with Seattle at eight to one, a

587
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: lot of it comes down to Sam Donald the Seattle Seahawks.

588
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: And Donald steps up in the pocket, dumps it off

589
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: underneath and it's caught.

590
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 6: Touchdown Seahawks Jay yes and flips the ball into the

591
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 6: stands to some Seahawks fans, his second touchdown reception of

592
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 6: the game from four yards out.

593
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: Sam Donald with a nice.

594
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 6: Pass, gets away from the traffic inside.

595
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: In what's known as the ultimate team game. And I

596
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: framed it up to Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell a

597
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: couple of tuesdays ago like this. I don't like doing

598
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: it like this because there's just so much that has

599
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: to go into a single play to make it work,

600
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: even to get five yards. But I'm like, with the

601
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: offense specifically, is Christian darrisaw just the most important component

602
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: to maybe the team because when he plays good things

603
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: happen and they hold the ball and the defense stays fresh.

604
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: It's with Seattle, I mean, it's it's you got Byron

605
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: Murphy guy in the middle, you got de Marcus Lawrence

606
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: resurgent on the outside, Ernest Jones has gotten himself really

607
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: good boy. Ye Mafe the former Gopher is a nice

608
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: little spark plugging about twenty plays a game. I like

609
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: their corners. I love them, but I like them. But

610
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: so much of this for them comes down to Sam Darnold. Yeah,

611
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: it's I mean, he it's it's not hyperbole here. It's

612
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: certainly not hate, but it's not hyperbole. He melts when

613
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: the pressure cooker is the hottest, until he doesn't. He

614
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: melted against the Rams. Well, then of course the next

615
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: game he killed the Titans. He was flummixed by Flores,

616
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: and of course he lights up Atlanta the next game.

617
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: That's just what he does. Is Philip Rivers honestly really

618
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: going to play for the Colts at Seattle Sunday. I mean,

619
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 2: it's it's it's kind of ridiculous, but whatever.

620
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean.

621
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: He hasn't played since twenty twenty. This rookie Riley Leonard's

622
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: got to be like mother. But I can understand what

623
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: they're doing here, and they can be. They're a run

624
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: first team in the first place. But Seahawks coach Mike

625
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: McDonald Mike McDonald is eight and one against rookies as

626
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: a head coach or defensive coordinator and as a way

627
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: of causing them severe mental perplexity. So Shane Steiken, he

628
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: knows that he and Philip Rivers are very very close.

629
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: And there comes old phill at age forty four. We'll

630
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: see if he plays against the Chickens this weekend.

631
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 5: Doesn't it feel like other than the two Cardinals games,

632
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 5: the Seahawks really haven't proven this year that they can truly.

633
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: Win reliably by dominating on the ground.

634
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 5: And we saw that team right and they ran effectively

635
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 5: against this They're very efficient.

636
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't run.

637
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 5: It's not an impotent situation, but it is a situation

638
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: where throughout consistently their offense. You mentioned the rams, well,

639
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 5: it was all the picks and then in the end

640
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 5: it was Darnald trying to drive for that long field

641
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 5: goal against us. They shut our team out, but disguises

642
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 5: and the pressures that Flora has developed, clearly knowing him

643
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 5: a bit, produced four sacks of the seventeen total that

644
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: Darnald has taken this year and put him in a

645
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 5: spot where what does he do well? Sadly, Donald in

646
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 5: pressure spots is a turnover machine. That is maybe the

647
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 5: Achilles heel of this Seahawks team, from my standpoint is

648
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 5: can the quarterback stay up right? He's proven that most part,

649
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 5: but the right team in the right spot. If you're

650
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 5: forcing those turnovers, man, they love giving it to the

651
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 5: other team.

652
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: That's going to be a problem in January.

653
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: If Seattle wins out, it gets the one seed.

654
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

655
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: The remaining schedule colts at Seattle, Rams at Seattle, then

656
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: they go to Carolina, then they're at San Francisco. Man,

657
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: if they went out, I mean I niners, though honestly,

658
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 2: I'd pay money. I'd pay a fair amount of money

659
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 2: for that last game at San Francisco to be for

660
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 2: the one seed because I either want to see somebody

661
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: push their way through it, because that's really really cool

662
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: when people can do that. If he takes that step, yeah,

663
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: or I just want to see are you who they

664
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: said you were? Because the worst, the worst quarterbacks anybody

665
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: can ever have on their teams are the ones who

666
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: get you right to the big spot and are never

667
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: never really able to handle it. Yeah, the ultimate tease bit,

668
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: And that's what he is as of now. But Seattle

669
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 2: has been a one seed three times in franchise history.

670
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: Went to the Super Bowl each time, so obviously being

671
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: a one seed is a key, but that was kind

672
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: of cool. The Hawks and Rams are the only teams

673
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 2: to rank top five in scoring offense and scoring defense.

674
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: Darnald leads the NFL with sixteen giveaways. Like Nordo said,

675
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: he leads the NFL with sixteen gibs. That has to

676
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 2: have those guys at least a bit nervous, Darnold.

677
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: And if you like the.

678
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: Hawks, by the way, as we pause, we'll do two

679
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 2: more teams about an hour from now, forty five minutes

680
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: from now. If you like the Hawks to win the

681
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, get that eight eight and a half right now,

682
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: because if they beat the Rams in a couple of weeks,

683
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: it's going to drop significantly two of the other teams

684
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: making up the top four for favoritism or Super Bowl

685
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: six zero will be handled at about eleven twenty Green

686
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: Bay along with the Buffalo Bills. John Hines, coach of

687

726
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 5: They don't play today.

727
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

728
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 5: I got to wait another day for caprizof in Valstet

729
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 5: or Gus and whoever it's going to be Tomorrow night

730
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 5: we'll get to hear from the coach momentarily. I dig that,

731
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 5: but I'm going through a drawl. Maybe it'll help me

732
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 5: pa that Gophers hoops tonight versus Perdue.

733
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: How about that?

734
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 5: So you have an interesting situation where you're feeling the

735
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 5: high off of beating Indiana, a ranked team who has

736
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 5: suddenly apparently transitioned into a football school with what Signette's doing.

737
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 5: But all the same, you beat Indiana, You're feeling good

738
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 5: about yourself, an Eco Medved's team looking for morsels of

739
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 5: positivity and his maiden voyage his Gopher's head coach. But

740
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 5: then on the other end of it, Perdue, among the

741
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 5: best programs in the country, just freaking laid one down

742
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 5: and was beaten out by like twenty eight, twenty seven points,

743
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 5: something ridiculous like that at home last weekend. One of

744
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 5: the worst showings by a home one seed in like

745
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 5: the last twenty five years of college basketball.

746
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: Well, is this going to be the slumpbuster? Pa? You're

747
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: going to get to hear it.

748
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 5: On the fan.

749
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: It's a six pm tip off.

750
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 5: I don't belie there'll be a pregame, but we are

751
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 5: your home for Gopher sports. You'll get to hear it.

752
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 5: Is this gonna be a slumpbuster? Is Purdue just gonna

753
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: jump back to life? Can we get some love for

754
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 5: Nico's squad as all focused will be on maroon and

755
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 5: gold in lieu of other local activities.

756
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 2: Well, the points spread open to eighteen and a half

757
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 2: per due favored went to twenty and a half.

758
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: That's not good.

759
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: So that squad, I believe is eight and one. Mister

760
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 2: Medvett's team is five and four. It's it's I can't

761
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: answer the question. I can't name one player on Purdue.

762
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still trying to figure out how the

763
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: Gophers beat or ranked Indiana team. Not that it blows

764
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 2: me away or I'm flabbergastic because I don't know enough

765
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: about it, but that that does from a sports distraction standpoint,

766
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: give us a little something to do.

767
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: Tonight, I found I find myself this time of the year.

768
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: Really enjoying the NBA Cup games. Yeah, they had some

769
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: last night, they got more tonight New York meets Orlando

770
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: now Saturday.

771
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: I want it. Yeah, I guess NBA Cup's cool, ma'am.

772
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 5: If I can clip on you, what about these magic

773
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 5: do you do you have a big opinion on the magic?

774
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, they got Wagner, they got some,

775
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 5: they got some some game breakers ben Caero, of course,

776
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 5: but if we were playing LFL, I would tell you.

777
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 5: And this is based off of Waiver wire connections, like hey,

778
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 5: Anthony Black, like they're they're pulling something out of some

779
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 5: guys here that that make them very game in kind

780
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,479
Speaker 5: of a talent poor East, but still magic doing their things.

781
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the pissed see there there will be a

782
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 2: regression to some mean for the Detroit Pistons. I mean

783
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: that they may end up as the one seed in

784
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: the East. I mean they're winning games at an unbelievable clip.

785
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: Kate Cunningham might be the MVP in the league right now.

786
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 5: Do you see they're already talking about buying big like

787
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 5: they feel like this could be the year.

788
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: Right, We're talking about like a D and stuff like that.

789
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: You see with Orlando And I'm not I'm not wedging

790
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: this in because he played a mini haha academy. This

791
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: is so by far the best season Jaalen Suggs has

792
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: had in the NBA. Yeah, and when he doesn't play

793
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 2: and they have to use other cats at the point

794
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: things come back. Anthony Black's a good he's a decent player,

795
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: but coming off the bench only right, But I mean

796
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: he's not, he's not. Jalen Suggs has become a floor

797
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 2: general and acting zaga. That's exactly what he was. Ben

798
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: Cao was hurt came back recently. They're keeping his minutes down,

799
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 2: but that'll ramp up. Bronz Wagner is a one A

800
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: type player. I think he's I think he's a high

801
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: end two for a really, really good team. But Franz

802
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: can beat you. Desmond Baine has been really in and

803
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: out with them. When Bogner or ben Cao aren't playing,

804
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: Bain tears it up. Now they're both playing, and Baine

805
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: tore it up last night, So they're getting Desmond Baane,

806
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: the former Grizzly, mixed in nicely. And like you said,

807
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference has some wide open to it.

808
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: Why not us? But why not the Orlando Magic?

809
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 5: Well, hey, who knew you'd get some Orlando Magic and

810
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 5: NBA Cup game breakdowns? But you ask, I certainly did ask.

811
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 5: Because no Wolves, no wild tonight. Let's turn the corner

812
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 5: on this and kick off the hour with a local

813
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 5: flavor in terms of John Hines, head coach in the Minnesota.

814
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 5: While it's been news to NORD brought to you by Canterbury.

815
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 2: Park, I watched the entire third period on ESPN Plus

816
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,879

817
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,680
