1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm Mark Madden, gonna talk a ton of hockey because honestly,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't give a fly in fornication what Grandpa game

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: manager decides to do. And you know what, if you

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: look deep down into your black and gold souls, you

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: don't either. You're as bored about all that as I am.

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: You can follow me on Twitter at Mark Madden X.

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: You look at that golden goal. Wrensky constantly underrated plays

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: in Columbus might as well be witness protection. He muscles

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: mckiddon off the puck and McDavid backchecked with no purpose.

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: You gotta play man on man when the puck turns

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: over three on three, and McDavid didn't.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: He kind of just breathed back there.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Mccarr almost loafed back there after committing the turnover, and

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Jack used fund to pocket trailing behind.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: McDavid and lights out. Terrific finish.

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: And then they got gold medals and stuff animals and drunk,

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: and they were carrying Mike Rousione around the Olympic village

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: on their shoulders. Dylan Larkin had had Eruzione on his shoulders.

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: Rozione's no lightweight. Larkin might be out for a couple

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: weeks after that strained shoulders, neck, whatever.

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:18,639
Speaker 3: And.

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: The uses got on TV Late Night with Hellabuck hammered

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: but somehow said all the right things and came off

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: as endearing them. Two kids are stars. Can't be a

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: star in Minneapolis. Can't be a star Newark. You can

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: be a star at the Olympics and then take that

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: stardom home with you.

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: I liked all the.

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Stuffed animals thing, what they call him stuffies. When Jake

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: got his, I figured, well he looks like a stuffed animal.

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: That's all the more appropriate. So good, oh forgot to

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: congratulate Jake earlier formerly of Pittsburgh.

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: Obviously, just an incredible game.

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Not many goals, obviously, but a lot of good chances,

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: a lot of good goaltending Biddington two and the game

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: was on a razor's edge. And then after the medals

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: were presented and everybody got drunk, Canada were sore losers,

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: like every single Canadian on Twitter, and McKinnon said Canada

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: was the better team. And the coach Cooper, he said

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: three on three isn't really hockey, but he didn't mind

41
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: three on three when Canada be checky?

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: Did he? Cooper needs to fall back like his hairline.

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: You need to learn how to lose a little bit,

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: even more so when you always win like Canada does.

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: But I can understand why Canadians are chapped.

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Their sport got taken from him, first the women, then

47
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: the men, and it could to be long two years

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: till that next World Cup of Hockey. If you're a

49
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Canadian hockey fan and they never win the Stanley Cup either,

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm kind of warming up to the idea of us

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: having won, even though I would like to have seen

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Sid win. What happened yesterday. It isn't the miracle on ice,

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: but it couldn't be. It's an incredible finish and Russia

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: wasn't there, but you did beat Canada and it's amazing.

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: So America's triumphed once again, not unlike D Day and

56
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Gettysburg and York Time and Midway and The Woodstock and

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: Escape from New York starring Kurt Russell but not playing

58
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: her Brooks Rip. Bill Mazerowski, the all time Bucca Great

59
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: and nineteen sixty World Series walk off hero, passed away

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: Friday at the age of eighty nine. Maz was the

61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: greatest second baseman ever. He hit the greatest home run. Ever,

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: He's responsible for the biggest moment in Pittsburgh sports history ever.

63
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: And he was my favorite pirate when I was a kid.

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk more about Maz later. I liked the final,

65
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: how could you not? It was extremely entertaining, fast and furious,

66
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: but without being Diesel to annoy everybody. My unsung hero

67
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: was warn He's one of the very best defensemen in hockey.

68
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: Huge play on the game winning goal, like we talked about. Now,

69
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: people are gonna know who he is outside of Columbus,

70
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna know who Jack Hughes is outside of Newark. That

71
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: five on three kill with sweating blood, JP and Vince

72
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: and Hellibuck, What the puck? A game of many stories.

73
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: I don't mind the three on three overtime. In fact,

74
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: I became a believer in three on three overtime on

75
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: the back of the Olympics. You look at the four

76
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: three on three overtimes in the Metal Games, excuse me.

77
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: In the playoff games, US women beat Canada in three

78
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: on three, classic goal by Keller to end it. Canada

79
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: beats Checkia in overtime in the quarters, classic goal by

80
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Martyr to end it. US beat Sweden in the quarters

81
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: three on three overtime classic goal by quinn Us to

82
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: win it. I feel bad for Quinnyus a little bit.

83
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: He's the other U's brother now and he could have

84
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: been the MVP of the tournament. Then again, those two,

85
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean one thing, I wished I had brothers when

86
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: I heard Jack and quinn U's talk because they are

87
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: obviously so close. And the third one to Luke, I'm

88
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: sure and you see some brothers that they're as close

89
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: as their last name, and that's it. The uses man,

90
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: they are tight, and I hate to predict this, but

91
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: at some point there's going to be an awful scene

92
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: when they insist on playing on the same NHL team

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: in what they tried to force through to make that happen.

94
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: But they are America's sweethearts, and rightly so. But getting

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: back to the three on three overtime, I correctly predict

96
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: them before the game that if it went overtime, it'll

97
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: provide the loser with an excuse as something to complain about,

98
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: and I was one hundred percent right. It'd be nice

99
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: to think the USA players and coaches, Sully and the

100
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: lot would have reacted better had they lost in three

101
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: on three overtime, but I don't think so. Three on

102
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: three overtime throws you a life preserver if you lose

103
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: for something to bitch about. And certainly McKinnon and Cooper

104
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: did not disappoint in that regard, nor did the entire

105
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: country of Canada. I saw somebody printed the entire context

106
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: of what McKinnon said and said, well, it was.

107
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: Taken out of context. Okay.

108
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: He said that if you saw the game, you tell

109
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: me who the better team was. He's saying the better

110
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: team lost. No, there's no context there to be taken

111
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: out of. There are a bunch of sore losers. And

112
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: like I said, except for the captain who always says

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: the right thing, there are a bunch of sore losers.

114
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: And as I said, even though I wanted Sid to win,

115
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: he didn't play. And in the over now twenty four

116
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: hours since I have warmed up to the idea of

117
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: what happened, not that anything needs my approval. I'm not

118
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: sure this relaunches HAWK in the US. I've seen that said.

119
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: For example, I turned on ESPN this morning the usual

120
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: shows that I hate, yet somehow watch because I'm an

121
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: ass and they had a couple seconds on hockey and

122
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: went right back the Hey, who do you think the

123
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: quarterback is going to be for so and so? Or

124
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: what about the NBA who's going to make a good

125
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: run in the playoffs?

126
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: Shut the frig up?

127
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Then again, they were crippled by not being able to

128
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: use highlights because the the IOC is hoarding those. But

129
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: this wasn't a miracle on ice. It wasn't a miracle

130
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: by any means. The better team one up. Next, we'll

131
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: talk more hockey with Tommy Radio. I think the big

132
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: question of the day that we'll we'll get too later

133
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: to talk to you about is does Canada win of

134
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: SID plays at per I'd say yes, this Canada win

135
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: of SID plays at seventy percent.

136
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

137
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: I think he helps more than Sam Bennett, whoever at

138
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And what if CID even at like

139
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: say fifty percent, goes out there for that five on three,

140
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: All this and more will be pondered the rest of

141
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: the program. Here on one oh five ninety X check

142
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh and gold medal winner, he was heard to

143
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: say I'm getting fed up tonight, and I think he did.

144
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: How about Conor McDavid gout the torment MVP, and it

145
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: was a flawed system. They voted after the first period.

146
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: What you do with that is, instead of feeling you

147
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: have to involve whoever, the hockey writers, the media in

148
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: a vote. You have like three people who decide instantly

149
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: when the game's over, and you just go with that,

150
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: and it might not be as democratic, but you would

151
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: get it right more often. Hellabuck should have been the MVP,

152
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: or maybe one of the users. I mean, I don't

153
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: know how you don't give it to Jacko because he

154
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,239
Speaker 1: got the gold medal winning goal in overtime.

155
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: That MVP will not serve Connor McDavid.

156
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: Well, he had a great tournament, a lot of points,

157
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: but now McDavid is the MVP of losers. Got the

158
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: playoff MVP a couple of years back, but he's lost

159
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: two Cup finals. Got the Olympic MVP, but he got silver.

160
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Lost in the shuffle of all the twists and turns.

161
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: In that game, Matt Boldy scored the first US goal

162
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: and it was a ring a ding dong dandy. Just

163
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: so many amazing moments in that Olympic final. And we'll

164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: be talking about it basically all day, and we'll get

165
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: to some of the sidebars a little bit later, like

166
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: people bitching that the game started at eight am Eastern

167
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: time five am Pacific time, when the frig was it

168
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: supposed to start? You had the opening ceremonies. Afterwards, they're

169
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: on TV two. You're supposed to push them back. The

170
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: whole world isn't made for TV. The whole world isn't

171
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: made for your convenience. If it's too early, stay in

172
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: bed and miss out. Let's not talk to Tommy Hockey.

173
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: Tom If sid plays, does Canada win?

174
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: What's your call?

175
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if I could go that far, but

176
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: he just has such a knack for scoring a big

177
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 4: goal in a game like that, And in a game

178
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: where hellabuck was just.

179
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Such, all they had left was guys without the knack exactly.

180
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: That's what they said about my Sharona.

181
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: And that showed with McDavid having the game on his

182
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: stick on a breakaway where he just he just forgot

183
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: to shoot the puck.

184
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: He just like ran right into hell from behind. He did.

185
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 4: But I mean, you're Connor mc david, I mean you

186
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 4: got to make a play there. And then McKinnon whiffing

187
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: on the open net. I mean they had the game

188
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: on their stick. They could have been that guy and

189
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: they failed. Sid is that guy and still is that guy.

190
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: And that's a nice little wrinkle after it is. Sid

191
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: still has that golden goal for Canada. Still is that

192
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: clutch guy.

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he don't feel that way I wanted.

194
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I would rather he played and lost than didn't.

195
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: Play in one. I agree it.

196
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: It bummed me on for the game, not gonna lie,

197
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: but but everything happened so fast. It was ruled out

198
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, Jack, you scored it.

199
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: It went by like lightning. The game was that fast,

200
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: the pace was that high.

201
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: Waking up and finding the news out that Sid was

202
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 4: out of the game was a little bit of a shocker,

203
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: wasn't it. It seemed like there was a lot of

204
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 4: momentum going towards him.

205
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: I really do wonder if he's hurt worse than we know,

206
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: although I got reassured that he does not need surgery.

207
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: Even when he was ruled out of yesterday's game. Sid

208
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: won't play anything's he can't help. Like Game seven and

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: oh nine in Detroit, the third period and again yesterday,

210
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: the US was perfect on the penalty kill. Like we said,

211
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: eighteen for eighteen on a tournament, Trocheck and Miller with

212
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: big parts of that. They were out there as two

213
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: of the three for part of that five on three

214
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: Canada power play against all that talent.

215
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: I wonder what they were thinking.

216
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, that's what they're there for, specifically

217
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: for that, because Garan picked role players and Vincent JT

218
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: were two of those.

219
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: And as you said before, it was the right decision

220
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: from Garon and Soulivent.

221
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: And Construction, the right decision because they was exactly the

222
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: proof of the putting is always in the eating, and

223
00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: they ate gold.

224
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: And I like the fact too that they had such

225
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 4: a huge contribution as far as their role is concerned

226
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: by going perfect on that. PK and other people were

227
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 4: a part of that, but they were the authors them too,

228
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: and Hellibuck were the main authors of that, So kudos

229
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: to them. It was their job and they did their job.

230
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: The only thing that they really missed was the Sweden

231
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: game at the end on the ice allowing the Sweden goal.

232
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: But I mean that's gonna happen, right, I mean, Sweden's

233
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: got a ton of talent. They could six on five

234
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: at that point. You allow an empty netter. I mean,

235
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: they can't be perfect in every aspect apparently just in

236
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: the PK.

237
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they did. Yeah, Vincent JT did a great job.

238
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm totally made up for them. And you know, again,

239
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Garren's roster when it works at work. So those guys

240
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: were the right picks. I go with all stars, Billy

241
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: went with role players, and Billy has a gold medal.

242
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: The u's brothers are stars. They really sees the spotlight.

243
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: And how do we not know about them like we

244
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: know about them now? I know what a big stage

245
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: the Olympics is, but I've been mooting if it's possible

246
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: to be a star of Minneapolis, if it's possible to

247
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: be a star work And I know for sure the

248
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: NHL does not know how to create and market stars well.

249
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: And with Quinn starting in Vancouver, I mean that's basically

250
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: a death sentence right being out there on the West Coast,

251
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: especially in Vancouver.

252
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: Among some Minnesota's much much better. So at morning that

253
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: the two middle time zones are the worst ones to

254
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: be in it and a big because Pacific and East

255
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Coast are big market time zones.

256
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: And a big problem with Minnesota is you're not the

257
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 4: number one team in your own state, I mean Minnesota

258
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: College hockey Gophers. Yeah, is bigger than the Minnesota Wild

259
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: as we found out in the movie Fargo.

260
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: So Minnesota is going to be tough to create a

261
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: star there. And with New.

262
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: Jersey, I mean Jack Hughes I think was on the

263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: map when he got to New Jersey.

264
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: But they just haven't won really with him.

265
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: They've been to the playoffs what twice and get pretty

266
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: much just sent right back home in the first round

267
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 4: when they do get there. So there's just not a

268
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: lot of winning to put him on a big stage.

269
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not just about winning. I mean that's

270
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 2: a big part, especially in New Jersey. It's charisma.

271
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, New Jersey, it's it's it's double tough because I

272
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: mean it's New York City, the market. But they're arguably

273
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: the steedless team, even below the Islanders, because the Islanders

274
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: have been around longer and they won once upon a time.

275
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: It just and I think it flips back and forth

276
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 4: to with who's good in the moment, right, and the

277
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: Islanders are slightly better than the Devil's have been.

278
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: A Hella Bucks laid some demons.

279
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: He's failed Winnipeg in the playoffs, But yesterday he became

280
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: a big game goaltender and that stick save on Paves

281
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: as an all time classic reactionary but you gotta get there.

282
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there were other amazing saves that he made

283
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: in that game as well. He just really locked in

284
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: completely and that's that's what you needed in a game.

285
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: And that's what's so funny about the Canadians whining and

286
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: being like, oh, we dominated the game, as if a

287
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: great goaltender isn't part of it.

288
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: Mostly the fans, but that's what fans do, Yeah, no doubt,

289
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: But like I just I understand McKinnon's frustrated in the

290
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: immediacy of having lost.

291
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: I thought Cooper bitching the coach bitching was way out.

292
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: Of line, especially because you know the format, you know

293
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like everybody knows what they're getting into

294
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: and then you you beat check.

295
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: Yet in the same exactly three do you agree.

296
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: That all those three on threes, the four that took

297
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: place in the playoffs, men's and women's were just classic fantastic.

298
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: They won me over to three on three.

299
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: But the problem is when the NHL does three on three,

300
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: it ain't all good players out there.

301
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: That's true.

302
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 4: And there was some resetting in the Olympics mark, but

303
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: don't you think there were guys taking chances more.

304
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: I talked about that on Tim Bens's podcast.

305
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: When they circled out of the zone to reset and change,

306
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: they immediately turned back on.

307
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: The attack, pushed right back in. Boom.

308
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't like this languid circling all the way back

309
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: in your own zone. You went a little bit in

310
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: the neutral zone. Then the new guys came on and bang.

311
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

312
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: So the three on three hockey was fantastic. And again

313
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: to bitch about something that you knew was a part

314
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: of the format that you knew were the rules, and

315
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 4: you can spare me to when you throw McKinnon, McDavid

316
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: and mccarr over the boards for your first three on

317
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: three group, I mean, I mean that should win everything.

318
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: That's the most skilled three on three grouping you can

319
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: have in that sport in that Olympic.

320
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: Did anybody fail Canada? I don't think Bennington did. I

321
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: thought he played well in goal yesterday. I thought McKinnon

322
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: and mccarr made some huge mistakes and McKinnon, mccarr and

323
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: McDavid rot there for the goal against and McDavid lost,

324
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: Ughes and McKinnon got muscled.

325
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: Off the puck.

326
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: I think you have to say McDavid really failed them.

327
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I know he had a monster amount of points,

328
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: but that just kind of further confirms what he's been

329
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: in the NHL as just a point collector, that it

330
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: never really leads to anything greater than that. I mean,

331
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 4: you got to win the game there, that's your job.

332
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: Now sid's out, step up, take that seat on your

333
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 4: chest and be the guy for Canada.

334
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: No one do anything.

335
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: You know.

336
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: What's funny is that I was talking about how Billy

337
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, Garran looks like he made all the right

338
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: roster says because he won and Canada made some decisions

339
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: to look bad because they lost. Because I thought Wilson

340
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: showed in the entire tournament he just didn't belong out there.

341
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: He's just not that level player. He can knock in

342
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: goals in tight playing with great linemates against weak teams

343
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: in the NHL. Yeah, but this is different, and Wilson

344
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: proved it's different. Same with Marshawn and Bennett. I just

345
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: I know they contributed in the four Nations last year.

346
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: But with Marshawn, maybe a year older, you know, robbed him.

347
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: And with Bennett, maybe that was fluky because he did

348
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: nothing except take dumb penalties.

349
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 4: And odd that going with a nineteen year old in

350
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: Celebrini but not going with a nineteen year old and

351
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: Schaeffer and then an eighteen year old. And I know

352
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 4: that Celebrini's in his second year and this is Shaeffer's

353
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 4: rookie year, but I mean, come on, we've all seen

354
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: Schaeffer play now for half a season.

355
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: That dude belongs.

356
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: But if you win the rosters the right roster, if

357
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: you lose, it's not hey. I want to talk later

358
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: about some sidebars because there's so many stories from that

359
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: game yesterday. You know, it was brilliant Edzo oh Edzo's

360
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: commentary and normally I don't care about the commentary, but

361
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: he said the right thing every time. Kenny Albert was great.

362
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel the need for Tariko to be every

363
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: place all the time, but he did a good summation

364
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: afterwards despite not caring about hockey. But Mike's faked it

365
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: for years, why would yesterday be any different? Faked everything? Really,

366
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: He's a fake. And the only thing I didn't like

367
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: was t J Friganosh, who's an ass.

368
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 4: He's terrible at it. He's just so dry and awful

369
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 4: at analysis. He makes it about himself. It's terrible. Yeah,

370
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 4: and he's the sid. Thing was just an embarrassment the

371
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 4: way he handled that injury, calling him goody and not

372
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 4: showing really any professionalism at all at that spot.

373
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: No, they had access to his biz and didn't for

374
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: the games. For the Olympic Games, the bloom is off

375
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,760

Speaker 5: iHeart Radio for this year's Pittsburgh Bowler Plunge supporting Special

382
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: Olympics on Saturday, February twenty eighth outside Agri Short Stadium.

383
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 5: If you're on the iHeart team, you get a bunch

384
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 5: of fun rises and a registered to win penns Teddy

385
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: is it WXDX dot com backslash Plunge for all the details.

386
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: We're adding another show to the X carrying.

387
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: The Pirates have started the exhibition season three and oh,

388
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: which will make the hype even more unbearable than it is.

389
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: But in today's game, which is not yet completed, here's

390
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: not real good news. Bubba Chandler pitched when an inning

391
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: in two thirds, four earned runs, four walks, walks or

392
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: his kryptonite. And you talk about the Pirates, you know,

393
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: finishing over five hundred and getting a playoff spot. That's

394
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of w Bubba is like, at worst your number

395
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: three starter. And do I think he has the stuff?

396
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

397
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: I do, but but I think it's a lot to

398
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: con on. He's only pitched what thirty some big beginnings

399
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: and to get removed early in the spring training start,

400
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of an inning s no bueno. Okay,

401
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that. Late last night in the Olympic village,

402
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: Jack uses hammered and he's saying to some Checko figures.

403
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: Tay McCrae, I barely know her, baby.

404
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: That was just a photo hop a lot of that stuff.

405
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: It's ai.

406
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: They make it up for pr using. The devils are

407
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: here on Thursday. He's gonna get a big standing oh

408
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: and deservedly so. I bet Tate McCrae is not there.

409
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: Why would she want to come to Pittsburgh. Then again,

410
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: why would she want to go to Newark? Jack Hughes

411
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: being a huge star, even with his charisma, which didn't

412
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: just show up after he scored the golden goal, that

413
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 1: was impossible to do just playing for the Devils, who

414
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: were always boring in Newark, not really in New York City.

415
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: And if you want to count them as part of

416
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the market, they're sucking hind you know what. Behind definitely

417
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: the Rangers and probably the Islanders too, who have been

418
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: there a bit longer. But the Olympics fix that. Now

419
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Jack Hughes is going to be everywhere, and that's good.

420
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Good for him, good for hockey. Sometimes good things happen

421
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: to people who are likable as opposed to douchebags. The

422
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: Used boys seem likable, and like I said, their bond,

423
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: even from a distance, is unmistakable, and that's one of

424
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: the coolest things about them, Tom. Like I said, the

425
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Used kids are stars coming out of this. I think

426
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: they benefited from the Olympics more than anybody else and

427
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: by far.

428
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And if there's gonna be any kind of tangible

429
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 4: benefit for the NHL, and who am I kidding? There's

430
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: no tangible benefit for the NHL out of this, But

431
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 4: at least there's someone that's kind of become a superstar now,

432
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 4: like someone that you can say is not the face

433
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: of hockey, but at least has put himself into the way.

434
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: I think jack us.

435
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: Now whether that momentum can be sustained on his behalf

436
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: by a league that does not know how to make

437
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: or promote stars while he plays in Newark, I do

438
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: not know the brother thing figures in two. But again,

439
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: that's asking a lot of a league that is just

440
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: so bad in that regard and terrible.

441
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: I have failed at every turn when it comes to

442
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 4: doing that and capitalizing on momentum like this, and it's

443
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: gonna have to come from the league manufacturing it, at

444
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 4: least initially, since the Devils are bad this year. They're

445
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 4: at the bottom of the metro like, they're not going

446
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: to be in the playoff push.

447
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he'll do the run of shows like

448
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: like Jim and Jim right like, and I'm sure he'll

449
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: come off fine, but I don't want him do too

450
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: much of that either. Then again, I'm not sure in

451
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: hockey you can ever do enough. Again, it's a sport

452
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: that tends to have a window like the one it

453
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: has now with this great Olympic final, those windows snap

454
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: shot very quickly, and then you have to make the

455
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: most of the afterward in the NHL. Again, I hate

456
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: to keep saying it, but they're not very good at that.

457
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: It's going to be tough to watch the NHL after

458
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: this as well. And that's to catch twenty two of

459
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: Olympic hockey. When you watch the NBA players in the Olympics,

460
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: it's exciting, I guess, but the basketball really isn't that

461
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: much better. It's the same level, in the same laziness,

462
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: to be blunt, like, yeah, like nobody gets fired up

463
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: to play for their country like hockey players do. Certainly

464
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: basketball players do not. But but that makes the the

465
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: the the decline in the level of play when you

466
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: start watching NHL games.

467
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: All the more noticeable. It's an inevitable letdown.

468
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: Including the Stanley Cup this year, that's probably gonna be

469
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: the best hockey game that we see in this season

470
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: of hockey.

471
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: I mean maybe if we get to a game season February,

472
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: which is winter.

473
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're snow on the ground and then and then

474
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the Stanley Cup Finals almost in freaking July.

475
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if it gets to a game seven shore,

476
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: that could be very dramatic, But it's not USA versus Canada.

477
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: It just not doesn't really meet that. You can all

478
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: be worn out by then, and the tempo will be slow.

479
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: It just it's just, you know.

480
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: I'm actually I used to hate international hockey because of

481
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: the risk to NHL assets like Sid getting hurt.

482
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: But at least we get to see great hockey.

483
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure the NHL, more than a handful

484
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: of times a year ever, provides great hockey.

485
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see how the restart goes, because I mean,

486
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 4: all the stars basically are most of the stars you'd

487
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 4: think are a little bit worn right now after going

488
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 4: through what they just went through. In two weeks. It's

489
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 4: gonna be it's gonna be hangover for THEO. But then

490
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: there's gonna be guys that get shot out of a cannon.

491
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 4: All of the Russians basically that are stars in this

492
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: league you'd think are gonna have just a huge restart.

493
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I bet Jack Hughes has a good restart once he

494
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: sobers up, just a gennalized Yeah, And I think he

495
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: knows it's it's his opportunity to become and maintain being

496
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: the face of hockey.

497
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 2: Right now, he's the face of hockey.

498
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 4: But the Canadian players like they're gonna go back and

499
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 4: have to drop the puck on ones and like McKinnon

500
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 4: Avalanche in Utah, he's just gonna be like pale stone face.

501
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: You know what this Hella Buck going back to Winnipeg

502
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: is all going to be mad. Austin Matthews going back

503
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: to Ronta world gonna be mad. I give the Used

504
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: Brothers credit. This is where they get themselves over, and

505
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I think very organically. Some writer was trying to lead

506
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Austin Matthews into talking about, you know, the Leaf's failure,

507
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm just trying to live in the moment.

508
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: The Used Brothers jumped right in. He goes, yeah, all

509
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: the matters is he led us to a gold medal.

510
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: That's what you should write about in Toronto.

511
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Ooh bang.

512
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: He said that at the end too, that's what you

513
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: should write about in Toronto. So true because I love

514
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 4: that ink because Winnipeg. Who cares about Winnipeg right like?

515
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 4: And Hellabucket is funny that he's there. But the fact

516
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 4: that it's in the face of Toronto and he wears

517
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 4: the sea for that jersey.

518
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: I give Austin Matthews a lot of credit. I give

519
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: Jack Eichell a lot of credit. They weren't They didn't

520
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: get points yesterday in the gold medal game, but they

521
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: backchecked like crazy. I knew it was serious crap when

522
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: I saw Austin Matthews back checker.

523
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: They were awesome in that game, both Matthews and Ikeel.

524
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: It was almost like seeing Phil Kessel hit somebody and

525
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: you said, with Hella buck, hey, he's a big time goalie.

526
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: Now he has kind of washed himself with that stigma

527
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: that he's had. Now with Matthews, he's a winner like forever,

528
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 4: even if he doesn't get a cup, which I mean,

529
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: you still need a cup to simmdify yourself.

530
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: See the Olympics overshadows everything else, both good and bad.

531
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, sid just has so.

532
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: Much going for him, and the Stanley Cup still means

533
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: a ton and he has three of them.

534
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: But I'll give an example.

535
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Suli has failed miserably since eighteen and now his career

536
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: has that redemption arc even as the Rangers totally collapse.

537
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

538
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely, so you know with Matthews, you're a winner now.

539
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 4: No matter how it ends in Toronto or if you

540
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: do get your name on that cup, you don't solidify

541
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 4: yourself as an NHL All time great without the name

542
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: on the cup.

543
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: But you're a winner, You're not a loser.

544
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for Trocheck and JT too, but I

545
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: know Vin's a lot better and that five on three kill.

546
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: Those two guys out there that won the game almost

547
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: as much as anything, and and Vince and JT will

548
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: take that with them forever. They are Olympic gold medal

549
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: winners in the most dramatic fashion and each played a

550
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: big role.

551
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: When the five on three happened, I thought it was

552
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 4: an automatic goal. Like you're just sitting there and assuming

553
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: that's an auto goal for Canada, so we're already got

554
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: to assume that's on the board. That was a moment

555
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: of truth, no question about it. Like the Hella Bucks

556
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: save on Tave's was a moment of truth. The five

557
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 4: on three kill was a moment of truth. And I'll

558
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 4: tell you another moment. It's a little more subtle. When

559
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 4: macar scored a tight which was a great goal. It

560
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 4: was a rock and you could do about it.

561
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: Right, I thought, Oh man, the floodgates are going to

562
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: go open now they have the momentum. And they did.

563
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: They were adrenalized. They came hard, but the US stiffened.

564
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: And when they held him off and then got a

565
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: push going on their own, I said, Okay, now it really.

566
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 2: Is up for Grass.

567
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: Another small moment too, do you remember when Celebrini was

568
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: free on a bit of a breakaway and Helli buck

569
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: stoned him. I mean, Celebrini, the hottest guy in the

570
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: tournament for Team Canada, probably the true MVP for Team

571
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 4: Canada in these games, he couldn't stop scoring goals. To

572
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 4: have a huge save in that moment from Hellabuck, I mean,

573
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 4: it was just incredible. It's really bs that he didn't

574
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 4: get the MVP because he was great all tournament and

575
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: then finished that off with a fantastic, almost flawless gold

576
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 4: medal game.

577
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: I think he has bigger fish to fry. You wonder,

578
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: like I think the users are gonna get all kinds

579
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: of endorsements, both like brother type endorsements, you know what

580
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: I mean, and maybe Jack individually too. I wonder what

581
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: it's going to mean to a guy like Hellibuck because

582
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: he's in Winnipeg.

583
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 4: He's in Winnipeg, and you're behind that mask, you know

584
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like you're kind of a faceless person.

585
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: You don't get to see the face, you don't get

586
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 4: to see the smile that doesn't have the teeth with

587
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 4: Jack Hughes, which is just an all time photo.

588
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: What a great marketing ploy to get your teeth knocked

589
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: out exactly on the high stick.

590
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 4: That photo and the Helli Buck stick photo on taves

591
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: or two just immortal photographs in sports. And that goes

592
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: with the Keller photo from the women's game when she's

593
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 4: skating off after her winning goal, her golden goal.

594
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: We talked about Hellabuck and he was the man should

595
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: have got tournament MVP him or quinn Us, although I

596
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: could have given automatically to Jack because he scored the

597
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: overtime goal.

598
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: But the thing is they voted, like I said, that's

599
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: so flawed.

600
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: They need to have one guy, two guys, three guys

601
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: right again in the game say okay, who is it? Fine,

602
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: get it right. But on the other hand, I don't

603
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: blame Bennington. Both US goals were great finishes. Canada should

604
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: have zero regrets about using him in goal.

605
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: I mean, the Baldy goal was an all timer, and

606
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: then he had the big saves, which is what his

607
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: mo O is. They've been talking about that all through

608
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 4: this tornament. From Team Canada's perspective, he's the big game

609
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 4: goalie and he makes the big time saves and he

610
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: did it again. The save on Quinn Hughes, the glove

611
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: save that he had at the beginning of overtime is

612
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: a game winner. I mean, that's something that you should

613
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 4: bookmark and say, oh, that's gonna be the thing that

614
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 4: turns it. Now, Canada goes on the rush and they

615
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: win the game, and it just never happened.

616
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: USA capitalized The big Pittsburgh y debate on Twitter is

617
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: do you feel bad for Sid? I feel bad that

618
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Sid didn't play. Yeah, I feel worse that Sid didn't play,

619
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, than if he had. Than if

620
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: he had played, it would have been better for him

621
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: to play and lose than it was for him to

622
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: not play.

623
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, in his mind, not least exactly. And I wasn't

624
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: like you rooting for Canada. I was rooting for Team

625
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: USA in this tournament, but you wanted Canada at their

626
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: full strength and especially if Sydney Cross was not out there.

627
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: OK.

628
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: I like that. Though I like a full strength Canada.

629
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't care who's in full strength because I understand sports.

630
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: Isn't like that. You can't have it, but if it,

631
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen.

632
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: For example, Quinn Ews wasn't available last year at the

633
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: USA four Nations and if he plays, I mean. One

634
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: of my favorite, one of my favorite books ever is

635
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: a football novel by Dan Jackets called Semi Tough.

636
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: They made a movie out of it, but the book

637
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: so much better.

638
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: And in the book there's a characteramed Dreamer Tatum loose

639
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: le pattern after the Oakland Raiders Jack Tatum and after

640
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: like a real fluky game where his team lost to

641
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: what was the Billy Clyde Pucketts team. He was the protagonist.

642
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: It was the book was written in his voice. He

643
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: said to him, Clyde, one thing in sports is true,

644
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: and I learned it a long time ago. What could

645
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: have happened did? And that applies yesterday. What could have

646
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: happened did? One oh five nine? Listen to the X

647
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: everywhere you go anywhere everywhere.

648
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: To tell your sport device Alexa play one oh five

649
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 2: point ninety X on iHeartRadio from the one oh five

650
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: nine the ex Weather Center.

651
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: This report is sponsored It's The mark Man on one

652
00:30:53,920 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: O five nine DX. This segment brought to us by Shandrovich,

653
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Shandrovich and Fisherman.

654
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: They got your back, not your wallet.

655
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: In fact, they bring to you the entire first hour

656
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: of The Mark mannon Show Tom.

657
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: What have we got for the trifecta?

658
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: These are three kind of offshoot things that make me

659
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 4: very happy. With the Team USA victory in the gold

660
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: medal game. I think we've touched on all three of

661
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 4: them two in the show, so it would be a

662
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: nice little recap. But number three Sullivan winning again and

663
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: kind of having that reset for him, and it felt

664
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 4: good to root for him again because it wasn't the

665
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 4: best ending for him here too, that's true, but I

666
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 4: was able to live for sold and to reset his

667
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 4: career a bit. And it's just such a crap spot

668
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: in New York right now for him. Might get him

669
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame. I think it's got a

670
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: good chance to even.

671
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: Though I don't think he really deserves it, but it

672
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: might get him in the Hall of Fame.

673
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot of that going around. I've noticed with

674
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: some coaches.

675
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 4: Coach t number two is the McDavid can't win narrative

676
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: just gets fed even more now. And I wanted Sydney

677
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: Crosby to play so badly and I'm gutted for him

678
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 4: that he can't. But it adds a wrinkle to it

679
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: that he wasn't out there and they couldn't win without him.

680
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: You know what makes it even worse. Matthews can win one.

681
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: Matthews has taking that back to Toronto. Ichel has a

682
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup and a gold now rafted same as McDavid

683
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: pick after McKinnon's got a cup. Like they're all winning,

684
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: they're all adding to their resume to make them all

685
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: time great. And again it's probably not fair to remind everybody,

686
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: but it don't help that McDavid's a sour puss.

687
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: He's easy to not like.

688
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: He always looks like he's carrying the weight of the

689
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: world on his shoulders, except now as he continues to

690
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: not win, he carries the weight.

691
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: Of the world on his shoulders.

692
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 4: But the number one thing that is just too sweet

693
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: is the whining coming from Canada. The fans are one

694
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: thing on Twitter, but hearing Cooper's SoundBite in the press

695
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 4: conference about the overtime and McKinnon being the oh, the

696
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 4: better team didn't win.

697
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: He didn't say that, but he basically said it.

698
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm still disappointed for Sid. I feel better and better

699
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: about the result when I hear Cooper talk and McKinnon talk,

700
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: and especially the fans in Canada. Well, it's still our game. Well,

701
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: I there's two gold medals here in America that say otherwise.

702
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: I just remember on Friday year.

703
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: You know what, you should never be arrogant in your failure. Okay,

704
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: be arrogant in your success. Although the US is not.

705
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's some stuff said by the usual suspects,

706
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: like like Ryan Whitney and that Portnoy idiot from barstool.

707
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: Are you not supposed to be happy and talk a

708
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: little trash? Though they go overboard?

709
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Portnoy went, like Portney Portnoy said, Canada is broken.

710
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: We've ruined them.

711
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, okay, no, it hasn't gone that far.

712
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: But you're supposed to celebrate. You're supposed to thump your

713
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: chest a little bit. I don't think it's going too

714
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 4: far overboard, but with the Canadians, it's just hilarious to

715
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 4: see them whining like this. And you you said it

716
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 4: so well on Friday when you came in when Sidney

717
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: Crosby was out watching the game against Finland, you were like,

718
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: I really realized, I don't like this team at all.

719
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: Like the team of Canadians is not a very likable team.

720
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: I like some of them. I'm a celebrity fan. I

721
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: think he's a good he's.

722
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: A great young accounts but McDavid's a sour puss, Marshawan unlikable,

723
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 4: Tom Wilson unlikable.

724
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: I mean it's not a very likable group.

725
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, that that that's all true. Like

726
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: I said, I feel better about the result, but I'm

727
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: still really again I keep saying I'm disappointed sid couldn't play.

728
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt that's what what gots him the most.

729
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: Sid could have lived with playing and losing more than

730
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: what happened, more than more than not playing and winning.

731
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 2: Maybe even I don't know, maybe that's there's a fine line.

732
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 4: I mean, it's his last Olympics, right, I mean, it's

733
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 4: Sidney Crosby, So don't let me speak that evil into existence.

734
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 4: But like, come on, I mean, twenty thirty that's a

735
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 4: long play in the World Cup in two years.

736
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: Probably, I think that would maybe his last turn in

737
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: the Cup.

738
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: Should be as big a deal, if not bigger than

739
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: the Olympics, because it will be played in North America,

740
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: be played for primetime TV, will be played in North

741
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: American hockey cities.

742
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 4: Are they gonna let the Russians in. I don't think

743
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 4: they're going to They're gonna go by what the IOC

744
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 4: is saying. Well, well, no, the i HF more so

745
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 4: the right.

746
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the World Cup is not an IHF tournament.

747
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 2: They can do what they want, but they just take

748
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: the queue from what the ih apparently now that you

749
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: mentioned it, because they didn't let the Russians in last

750
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: year and they don't let them in the World Juniors anymore, right.

751
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Correct, Well, no, but that no World Junior IHF. The

752
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: World Cup of Hockey is an NHL event.

753
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: That's just trending in the wrong direction. But they have

754
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 4: to at the very least, I think it should just

755
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 4: be Team Russia. They gotta let them play. They got

756
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 4: another players.

757
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: Probably sucks is that nobody is saying that the result

758
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: is even slightly compromised by the Russians. Not being there,

759
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: and I understand that in the rush to celebrate the

760
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: US winning and what would have been the rush to

761
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: celebrate in Canada had Day won. But it does, however,

762
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: slightly compromise the result. I don't think the Russians would

763
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: have won the tournament. I think the Russians would have

764
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: had the third best roster at the tournament.

765
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: But I think they would have been a factor. Of course,

766
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 2: they would have been a factor.

767
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 4: And I know people like to counter with it and say, oh,

768
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 4: they've been a letdown since professional players have been playing

769
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: for Russia hasn't medaled since this year, and they're not

770
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 4: really a factor as far as the Metal Round is concerned.

771
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 4: But they're absolutely a hurdle and a legitimate hurdle for

772
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: some of the other teams to get through. And you

773
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 4: know what, that only is true until it's not. Like

774
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 4: the Capitols didn't win the Cup until they finally got

775
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 4: through the Penguins and won it. Russians could have broken

776
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 4: through this year.
