I'd say right now for about 52 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: the next month that that's as good as it gets. 53 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: What about you? 54 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: You know what, I enjoy them all, but for some reason, 55 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: this time of the year really gets me because I 56 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: love you know, I love college basketball.

And so you know that's for me. 60 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: But then again, you know, I might see once we 61 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: get to the car. That's why we're snobs, right, Yeah, 62 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: we like them all, but talk to short periods of time. 63 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, talk it. You're you're Minnesota, I mean, you're you're Minnesota, born, 64 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: bred and raised. Now I'm I moved here full time 65 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: in ninety eight, so I you know, I got some 66 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: interloper slash one of us to me so, But but 67 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: I I genuinely appreciate, and it's going to be super 68 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: on the side of a coffee cup or bumper sticker, 69 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: touchy feely. But the weather change, I mean, I know, 70 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: you know, I know, we were we were pushing eighty 71 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: over the weekend, you know, and then all of a sudden, 72 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: we're in the thirties. But it's sunny. So like when 73 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 2: when when the weather changes starts to get warmer, more 74 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 2: sunny days, wild and Wolves in the postseason, the Mayor 75 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: Freddy gets to the Sweet sixteen Guards, he gets to 76 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: go to Sacramento. Sandaling's back in the mix, trying trying 77 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: to do some damage. Denver j sitting back like losing 78 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: ten or eleven games this year because they don't care 79 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: until they get to the Frozen four. I mean, all 80 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: of that stuff is just so juicy, it's good enough 81 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: to eat. 82 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no, here's a here's how much of a 83 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: snob I am, Paul. When I lived in Italy, my 84 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: main sports channel was Sky Sports. Okay, so what did 85 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: they carry? Well, cricket and Australian rules football and and 86 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: and obviously Premier League soccer and all of that. So 87 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, I was a big cricket snob. You didn't 88 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: know anything about it, learned about it, kind of started 89 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: to like it a little bit. But you know, I 90 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where I land why we are snobs. 91 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: Okay to just just quickly, I mean because interrupt. No, 92 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: you're fine, You're you're techpology, No your technical bands. I mean, 93 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: we have the body.

When when the Vikings first went to 97 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: London twenty well excuse me, when I first went to 98 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: London with the Vikings in twenty thirteen, and I think 99 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: that was their first trip there. So there and then 100 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: like when they beat the Browns at twicken them and 101 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: you know, all the couple couple of games at Tottenham Hotspur. 102 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about with Sky Sports, and 103 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: it's I mean, it's a fantastic presentation.

They do show a lot 106 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: of cricket and and and when I watch cricket, it's 107 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: it's crickets because I just I can't wrap my mind 108 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: around how how the ball is thrown, what that palette 109 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 2: that's like in the ground stands for, and how you score. 110 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: So you've got Mick Talckett sniffing out over unders and 111 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: cricket matches, and I got no idea how to figure 112 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: out if it's going to be a high or low 113 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: scoring contest. You know, I'm with you. 114 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, it took me.

The atmosphere in the building, 132 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: The coaches were great, the players were great, and all 133 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: of our pre prep and and all of that and 134 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: the excitement and and it was it was. It was 135 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: a terrific game. And you know, Luke Strand has just 136 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: as kind of you know, since taking over from my case. Things, Uh, 137 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: they just move, I mean, they just keep it rolling. 138 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: And they played a terrific game, and they are going 139 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: to be absolutely difficult out in this uh, in the 140 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: regional that they're in. They they happened to play Western Michigan, 141 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: who won the title a year ago, and man Cato 142 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: hit the pipe and right after that Western scored to 143 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: And if man Cato wins that game, we might be 144 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: talking about them as returning his national chance because that 145 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: was the most difficult game that Western Michigan had to 146 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: play in the whole tournament last year. And so I 147 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: think it's going to be another terrific game when they 148 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: meet each other in Loveland. 149 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned Luke Strand, who was on Beyond 150 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: the Pond with you and Fallness over the weekend, doubleb 151 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: by your side. All right? So yes, as Taka just mentioned, 152 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: it's Friday at one thirty, they give Western Michigan. Now, 153 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: I purposely did not look back at this, and I'm 154 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: just going to ride a vibe that what I remember 155 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: when Hastings left and went to Wisconsin. Okay, so he 156 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: left at a time where Mankato had gotten itself pretty good, 157 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: and I would assume some things fell off with players 158 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: graduating and stuff like that. So from where it was 159 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: when Hastings left and went to Wisconsin to what Strand 160 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: has done from then to now to get this squad 161 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: where it is, Like, how challenging has it been? 162 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: Oh? Very I mean, Keela, and let's not forget Hasty 163 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: took three players with him, three really really good players 164 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: with him to Wisconsin. And you know what Luke just said, 165 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: You know what, you know, that's the way it works, 166 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: and we lost them, but we're not gonna dwell on it. 167 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're just going to keep this thing going. 168 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: And he has done an absolutely marvelous job. They have 169 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: seventeen new players on their team this year seventeen from 170 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: a year ago, and to be able to. 171 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: Get them into the. 172 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: Culture that he's built there and that he wants there, 173 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: and the returning veterans that were able to help those 174 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: guys understand what it plays or what it takes to 175 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: play for the Mavericks and how they do things is 176 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: uh was just an incredible job this year. And and 177 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: and boy, if he doesn't get votes for Coach of 178 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: the Year, there's something wrong because he's done a just 179 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: a terrific job and he cares so much about his kids, 180 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, the his his players, and they love playing 181 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: for him. And and when you have that, you win, 182 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: and and and you know they they played a terrific 183 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: game again and have carried on the tradition of UH 184 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: of Maverick hockey. And you know, I wouldn't want to 185 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: play him, I tell you, and I uh you know, 186 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: I tweeted it out that that you know, this is 187 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: a team that you do not want to play in 188 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: the first round of the NCAA tournament. 189 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: And he did so at pap Mick two six. At 190 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: pap Mick two six six, they they let Sandlin back 191 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,359 Speaker 2: in the mix. Uh Duluth Penn State alban name the Bulldogs. 192 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: What do you think? 193 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: Well, here's what I think. I think Scott's got him back. 194 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: He finally has some scoring. And and the way that 195 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: Scott coaches, they are so disciplined, they are so structured, 196 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: they are calm, and they have you know, they have 197 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: some offense. And so, uh, you know, everyone's talking about Michigan, 198 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: and hey, I'm talking about Michigan. Michigan is really really 199 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: really good. But I will tell you U m D 200 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: has the type of team that can be to be 201 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: to Michigan because Michigan sometimes can get you know, and 202 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: should it be Michigan, you know, they are you know, Michigan, 203 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: and you and b both have to win to get 204 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: to that regional title game. And I'm and I think 205 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: both will. But Michigan has they take penalties, they get them, 206 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: they put themselves in tough spots and that's where Scott 207 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: and his team can pounds. And so I you know, 208 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: I think they have a really really good chance of 209 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: beating Michigan and making it to the Frozen Four. In fact, 210 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: I'm picking them to get there. 211 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: Holy cow, well done. Gophers hockey needs a new coach. 212 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: Uh with Bob with partying ways with Bob Moscow. What 213 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: do you think of the whole situation? And who do 214 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: you hope is the next coach? 215 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: Some things I can say in some things I can't 216 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: say because I'm kind of involved in it. So all 217 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: I will tell you is uh. And and if you 218 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: ask any coach Minnesota is is probably you know, number one, 219 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: number two, whatever however you want to say, it as 220 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: the most coveted job in college hockey, there is no 221 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: question about it. So that being said, Minnesota is going 222 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: to get a really really really good coach. You know, 223 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: Like I said, I've been involved in it. I can't 224 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: I can't talk a lot about the names that are 225 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: are that are out there. I think some that have 226 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: been out there in the media are are are very 227 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: true and I can you know, say yes to that. 228 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: But ultimately, Mark Oyle is going to make a make 229 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: that decision based on all of the Mark's done a 230 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: great job in this search and a lot of people say, well, 231 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: how can he be here there in the other place? 232 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: Trust me, he has done a very good job at 233 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: at putting putting people in place to interview these guys 234 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: and research and get information uh from people from people 235 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: like myself and others, and I think ultimately you will, 236 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: you will come to the right spot. Who that is, 237 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know it's going to be 238 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: a good one. 239 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Uh. The the Wild with eleven 240 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: to play all right, three game, three game roadie this 241 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: week they're at Tampa Bay, Florida and Boston eleven to 242 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: play Dallas got beaten regulation last night by Vegas or 243 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 2: we're five back. Uh And as we mentioned about twenty 244 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: minutes ago, Russo Radio tweeted caprisof Eric Sinek and Felino, 245 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: all of return to practice. So that's nothing but good news. 246 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: With eleven to play off that Dallas game. What you're 247 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: thinking about the Wild, here's my thought. 248 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: I you know, I said it a week ago when 249 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: they were on a three game skid and oh boy, this, 250 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: that and the other thing, And it didn't bother me 251 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: at all because right now they're implementing new players via 252 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: the trade deadline, and and so I think it's really 253 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: really important a to get them implemented, uh, you know, 254 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: b get them playing with their team and then see 255 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: the biggest thing, and this is on the staff, is 256 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: to say, okay, now that we got them now that 257 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: we saw them, now that they've played with different guys, 258 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: who what are their roles and where are they going 259 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: to fit and how are we going to play come 260 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: playoff time. They have eleven games to get that all 261 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: sorted out with the return of the guys that you mentioned. 262 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: You know, for me, you have to have everybody as 263 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: close to healthy as you can going into the playoffs. 264 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: And so once you have health, once you have an 265 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: understanding of how you're going to play and what roles 266 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: they are going to play.

NFC North Nibbles. 290 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: NFC North Nibbles, NFC North Nibbles. 291 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 3: I will start here with everyone's least favorite team, the 292 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears. 293 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: I found an interesting article. 294 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: It probably gave a virus to this computer because it's 295 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: Bear goggles on dot com, So I'm assuming that this 296 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: computer is going to be useless in about five minutes. 297 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 3: But it's talking about the defense and the concerns that 298 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 3: they have on the Bears defensive side of the ball 299 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 3: because they didn't get the big swing, they didn't get 300 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: Max Crosby, They were missing Crosby, not to be confused 301 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 3: with the former Packer kicker. 302 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 2: Here thank you. 303 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 3: It says as for the defense, it's severely lacking leadership. 304 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 3: At this point, the Bears will focus on addressing the 305 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: defense and the upcoming draft rather than making a splash 306 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: for Crosby. I know, speaking for myself, but also probably 307 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: you thinking that Crosby's not coming to Chicago, you put 308 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 3: the back of your hand on your forehead and because 309 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 3: that would have been a nightmare inducing for sure. 310 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, yes, I'm not gonna diminish the skill 311 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: set of Max Crosby when he's healthy, specifically bookended with 312 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: Montes sweat. But what's a big key here? The they 313 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: lost both their safeties, so bayered the leading tackler guy. 314 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: I mean, he's the bomb. I couldn't believe how good 315 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: he was last year. I think they can maneuver their 316 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: way around Brisker. But see if somehow they end up 317 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: with Max Crosby. Well, the serendipity out of it for 318 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 2: the Packer fan and you, the Lions fan and their 319 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: box Dan Miller who joins nine to noon all the time, 320 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: and the Vikings fan in me is they would get 321 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: into assets, and and and a large amount of under 322 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: the salary cap money they have. So yes, it would help, 323 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 2: and it could be one of those be careful what 324 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: you wish for. But on the other side of it, 325 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 2: Poles and Ben Johnson are proving to be quite good 326 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 2: with the draft and quite good at balancing the budget 327 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: and everything. You know, it's it's I've said this before 328 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: nine to noon and and and I think you'll agree 329 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: with me. It's Ben Johnson is super sharp, just super sharp. 330 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: Like it just it was further polarizing to me when 331 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: when their center Drew Dolman retired. I mean, it took 332 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: him five seconds to make a trade for for Garrett Bradbury. 333 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: And and you know, like some biking fans will be like, 334 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: all right, Bradbury, we're happy for you. We've seen Kenny 335 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: Clark or whomever push him backwards X amount of times. 336 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: All right, Well then that then I guess you're just 337 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: saying Ben Johnson stupid. So the guy who got that 338 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: everything out of that quarterback in that team last year, 339 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 2: he's just he's just dumb, right, I mean, yeah, he 340 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: didn't see any of that Bradberry stuff. What they don't 341 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: realize is is and this is I think plays into 342 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 2: your squad and the unpredictability of my squad with the 343 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: center of attention. You know, you got Michael Jurgens and 344 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: Blake Brandell, but you got the draft and didn't really 345 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: do anything in free agency. Sean Ryan was re signed 346 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 2: by the Green Bay Packers. Okay, now he has position flexibility, 347 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 2: but he played a lot of center last year. Here's 348 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: the point. One of the most underrated facets of winning 349 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: NFL teams is having a center who Tyler Linderbaum would 350 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: be a high end example because he's big, he's athletic, 351 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: he costs a lot, but he's smart. Brad Berry gets 352 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: things squared away so quickly, so efficiently, and so calmly 353 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: for all of his quarterbacks. That's his calling card. I mean, 354 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: Garrett is super athletic, and if you get him out 355 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: in the screen game and get him on those linebackers 356 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: or safeties, yeah, you can do damage with the athleticism 357 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: that is North Carolina State's Garrett Bradbury. But Bradbury brings 358 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: calm to quarterbacks and he gets things squared away right 359 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: before the snap of the ball. That was a genius 360 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 2: move by Ben Johnson. I think it was smart for 361 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 2: Green Bay to re sign somebody with whom Jordan Love 362 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: is comfortable, So Ben sharp Man, I mean by them 363 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: not doing something for somebody like Trey Hendrickson or Max Crosby, 364 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: that screams at me as loudly as if they were 365 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: to do something. Our division's the bomb, bro. I mean, 366 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 2: it's like if Arizona gets itself good in the NFC West, 367 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: all right, The NFC West has the champions, the Rams 368 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 2: are good, the Niners are good. Every team in our 369 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 2: division has has some of like the bomb to it 370 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: and can beat I mean, think about it. You know, 371 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: the Vikings didn't make the playoffs, and they were about 372 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: a ninety six percent chance to sweep the Chicago Bears 373 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 2: unless Duvernate. You know, Duverna get loose on that kick 374 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 2: return than Santo's walks off. This whole thing's a meat 375 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: grinder full of good coaches, high end talent. I can't 376 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 2: wait for the season. You say Brad Berry is calm. 377 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 3: Let's see how calm he is when Michael Parsons lined 378 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 3: up over the A gap. 379 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 2: Come on, you know what, It's a very fair point 380 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 2: and something for something I'll definitely start following around Thanksgiving 381 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: with Michael Parsons return. Now he'll be back in October. 382 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: I don't think he'll start the season. I've read things 383 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 2: where it's like, hey, he'll probably start the season. If 384 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But that was a pretty significant 385 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 2: injury late in the season. And as Packers fans and 386 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: NFL fans can tell, yeah, we knew he was important. 387 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: We had no idea he was everything. I mean, he 388 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: was like everything to the mix. So there you know 389 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: that that that medical staff has been known to be 390 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 2: uber conservative in the first place, and that's a compliment 391 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: that I'm giving them. So they're going to be conservative 392 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: with him when he comes back, ma'am. You know they're 393 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: they're going to need him, you know, unless, like unless 394 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: they believe Lucas van Ness and that step he took 395 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 2: last year. All right, maybe there's another bigger step coming. 396 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 2: He's super talented and gifted. We'll see. He's battled injuries. 397 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: And they have the draft with no first round pick, 398 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 2: So Lafleur and next level goody, they got something up 399 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: their sleeve for the draft. They see an edge or 400 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: two that they're looking at on Friday or Saturday in 401 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 2: the draft where they're like this guy with Lucas and 402 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 2: with Micah is where they just I know they're sitting 403 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 2: on something. I just don't know who it is. 404 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 3: As much as I want to talk about Green Bay, 405 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 3: do you have to get into this? The Lions running 406 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 3: back room has completely changed out. David Montgomery in Isaiah Pachecko, 407 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 3: Is this an upgrade for you, a downgrade or a 408 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 3: lateral move? In my opinion, I'd say it's probably an 409 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: upgrade because I like Pacheco when he's going, he's going. 410 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 3: But I'm seeing from the reaction of my quick research, 411 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 3: it's mostly people think it's a lateral move. 412 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 2: For the lines, I would be lateral upgrade. So like 413 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: if lateral is five of ten, I'd say it's in 414 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: the five and a half to six and a half range. 415 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: And here's why Pachecko bangs on you better than Montgomery, 416 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: very very physical. Cap makes you feel it, specifically with 417 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: those games in December where Bodies of Mind start to 418 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: get tired. Gives his elite, so they compliment each other 419 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: very well. Montgomery, for my taste, catches it in the 420 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: screen game better than Pachecko, and he's just more shifty. 421 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: I also think he's faster than Isaiah. But no, I 422 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: can't say that it's because Isaiah when he puts the 423 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 2: pedal to the metal, he's good. But I like it 424 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: because where I go slightly over lateral is the money 425 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 2: they saved is they knew David was sitting on some cash, 426 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: and David wanted cash and he wanted more playing time, 427 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: so they traded him to Houston. I think this is 428 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: a good deal for the Lions. They know what they're 429 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: doing up. 430 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: There on my Green Bay Packers before we get to 431 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 3: your Minnesota Vikings. The biggest need for me right now. 432 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 3: Obviously I want cornerback, and that's something we could talk 433 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: about later. But the biggest circle and question mark is 434 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 3: who's going to back up Jordan Love because he hasn't played, 435 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: you know, a full seventeen games. He's missed a game 436 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 3: here or there with the stinger. Nothing too too crazy yet, 437 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 3: knock on wood if there's any around here, But they 438 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 3: need someone that's capable to come in, and I'm not 439 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 3: sure it looks like by everything they're doing that they're 440 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 3: going to try to find a late round. I mean, yeah, 441 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 3: I guess you could technically find a veteran quarterback in 442 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 3: the draft these days because how long they stay in college. 443 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: But I don't know if I like going into. 444 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: The draft to find the backup quarterback somewhere in the 445 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: you know, late rounds. 446 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm skiving. So who do they 447 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 2: have now? Any idea? Tell you Spencer or something? With 448 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: the Lake going to Miami, I understand what you know, 449 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: it was a two quarterback room the whole year. Yeah, 450 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 2: that's right, I understand what you're saying. Jordan's availability obviously 451 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: is key because you know we've had some in and 452 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: out during the course of his career. His availability is key. 453 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: I don't they have Ridder, but I don't that doesn't 454 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 2: do m Who is that Desmond Ridder? Right? Yeah, that's 455 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know if you could plug 456 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: him in, you know, for two three games and expect 457 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: to win one of them. Yeah, you're right. You know, 458 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: I hadn't bottled that, and that is a bit of 459 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: a conundrum there. I think Case I think is case 460 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 2: Keenum available. I mean, it's somebody like that, somebody who 461 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 2: hear the keys is They're not going to be in 462 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: sneaky fashion banging on somebody's door late at night. Trying 463 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 2: to get the starter's job that ain't going to take place. Secondly, 464 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 2: who is best to work with Love who's still young 465 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: in his career? And Thirdly, if Love has to miss 466 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 2: two or three, who do you have who can win 467 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: one or two of them? So that's that they can 468 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: get somebody. I wouldn't trip on it. 469 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 3: Lastly, not directly Vikings related, but it could potentially affect 470 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: the Vikings down the road. Did you see the contract 471 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 3: extension for Jackson Smith and Jigba? 472 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? 473 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: It did me. It was huge. 474 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, a four year, one hundred and sixty eight 475 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 3: point six million dollar contract extension. Justin's like, mother, Well 476 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 3: that's you read my mind, that's where I'm going. Uh, 477 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 3: it's not far away to where I believe you got 478 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 3: one or two more years left of JJ on his contract. 479 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 480 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, I mean the wil 481 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 3: Serd pull them. That's the collar of their shirt right 482 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 3: now going and that's going to be a lot of money. 483 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 3: That's a market resetting contract. How does that affect the 484 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: Vikings going forward? 485 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 2: Good question. I ain't going to trip on Justin's money. 486 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 2: Now we still you know May first is the is 487 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 2: the day by that time you have to declare fit 488 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 2: your options on first rounders. So what's next plan is 489 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: what are they gonna do in the draft? Then after 490 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 2: that may first, what are they gonna do with Addison? 491 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: You know you're gonna pick up that fifth year option. 492 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: I would guess they would, and then we start thinking 493 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: about that at least I do the A topic for 494 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: me with Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings is big plays. Okay, 495 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: you know there there was a lot of praise coming 496 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: Justin's way last year where you know, he just wasn't 497 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: getting a lot of action. He was never getting into 498 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 2: the end zone. And Justin's a legacy kind of guy 499 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 2: where he wants to win and he wants to get 500 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. But Justin has been cracking Randy Moss, 501 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 2: Jerry Rice, Tory Holt, and Lance Alworth immortality type records 502 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: every single year except for last year. So with Kyler 503 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: and then the belief that he'll be the starter, the 504 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: return of the big play for the Minnesota Vikings offense 505 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: in the passing game, it will be there, specifically if 506 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: Murray is good at deciphering the difference between Mannon's own defense. 507 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: I mean that is such a massive key for the 508 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: Vikings offense into twenty twenty six when Murray gets out 509 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 2: of the pocket because he does it naturally, if he 510 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: can tell that these dbs and these linebackers are turning 511 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 2: their backs on the offense because it's man coverage. I mean, 512 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 2: he'll run from Maui to Maine. So that's going to 513 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 2: be that's going to be a calling card or could 514 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: be for this offense. And defensively, if you sniff it 515 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 2: out and you go after the kid, that means Jefferson's 516 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: going to be single covered. So the return of the 517 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: big play offensively, I truly believe is going to be 518 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 2: there for them next year. I mean, Kyler's been known 519 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: to drop it. Kyler's been known to throw it to 520 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 2: the other team. I think he has nine pick sixes 521 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 2: in his career. The return of the big play, potentially 522 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: both ways is upon us, and I'm there for it. 523 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 2: There you go, NFC North, Myles, nice job brother. When 524 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: we return Brett's Bits and Betts our version of film 525 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: producer news Do Nord gets center stage at f M 526 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: one hundred point three k f A N number one 527 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: double B Gotta start here with news d blake board 528 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 2: or whatever we end up calling it.

Oh yeah, okay, yeah, that 554 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 2: is so perfect that you were in the building. I'm 555 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 2: not going to go down the road right now. I 556 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: mean I will before either during Peafox or right after 557 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 2: Pea Fox. I'm not going to anoint this because it's 558 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: not a good enough nickname in my estimation, to make 559 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: it like a bit or make it a thing. As 560 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: the kids would say, the Stars are vibe suckers. Okay, 561 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 2: they are vibe suckers, and we ain't gonna get Colorado. 562 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 2: We're gonna get Dallas in the first round. But I 563 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 2: mean they're five behind Dallas. I think we're fired behind Colorado. 564 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 2: We're five behind them. We got like ten, eleven, and 565 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 2: twelve to play, so it's a puncher's chance that they 566 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: can win the division, puncher's chance that we can move 567 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: up to the second spot and get home as advantage. 568 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: But before we depart today, I just want to talk 569 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: about my perceived difference between attending a game that includes 570 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: Nathan McKinnon and Cale mccarr and attending games against those 571 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 2: vibe suckers. Okay, and we'll see what you think, because 572 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 2: that's what they do. Man, they suck the energy out 573 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 2: of buildings with the way they play, and it's just 574 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: schematically sound and methodical and dump and chase and dump 575 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 2: and chase and try to get the puck to a 576 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: side where Hughesy is so we can beat him up. 577 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 2: Then the first period, I mean they were executing what 578 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 2: we are going to see in the playoffs, but they 579 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: only did it a couple of times because they ain't 580 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 2: gonna play their hands and their hand and it was 581 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 2: dump it into the corner, make Hughsey get it and 582 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 2: then smash him with a body or two because he's diminutive. 583 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 2: So I mean, like the writing was on the wall 584 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 2: right there. Then they pulled off, they stopped doing it, 585 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 2: but they just want They're just so calculated and they 586 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: suck vibes out of buildings. Man, I can't believe there 587 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 2: was more. And maybe that's where we miss moose. 588 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 3: Hughes gets boreded dirty from Robertson. 589 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 2: Yes, their guy. 590 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean they reacted as far as energy, but 591 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 3: I didn't. I thought for sure we were going to 592 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 3: get a scrum or Robertson would have to answer the 593 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 3: call for that because that was a bad hit. 594 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: Yes, I thought it could have been more. 595 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 3: Frankly, it was awful and there really was no pushback 596 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 3: physically from the Wild. I was a little disappointed with 597 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 3: that because I don't know how we got away with that. 598 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 2: I mean, okay, so mccaren played right, he did okay 599 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 2: after the after he whooped up on Donado, so so 600 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 2: you got that, But I mean ericson him, ericson Eck 601 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 2: and Felino are two on whom you can count for that. Yeah, 602 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 2: and they both route, you know, So so I think 603 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 2: it's the game. Is the Wild desperately wanted to and 604 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 2: wanted to give none. Yeah, and then Vegas, Vegas did 605 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 2: us a solid last night. Man. Dallas is on a 606 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: back to back, and Vegas beat Dallas in regulation. So 607 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 2: if we had found a way to get that thing 608 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 2: in regulation, you know, we'd be four back right now. 609 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 2: We play him like, you know, we can change or 610 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 2: two weeks from now. So then you got to get 611 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: two again and give zero again. Punch your's chance. But Dallas, 612 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 2: Dallas wanted to win, obviously, had to be completely content 613 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: with an overtime loss against those guys to take a point. 614 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 2: Colorado's getting healthy, Colorado's starting to get that swear back, 615 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: so we gotta be careful about that late season McKinnon. 616 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 2: But tell me being in the building now, we beat 617 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 2: them five to two, Like in December, they beat us 618 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,439 Speaker 2: five to two very early in the season, game six. 619 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 2: You remember the playoff series to bar terrorism killing Caprice 620 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: off middle of the ice when Zooki took that four 621 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: minute penalty and they win the face off in Robertson's scores. Yea, 622 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 2: And they're now four for four on the power play 623 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 2: against Us this year. Tell me, being in the building, 624 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 2: you didn't feel like, oh, here we go again. You 625 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: know this slow, sappy, non racehorse hockey, methodical, calculated Dallas 626 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 2: thing where they want everything to just just be slow 627 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: and beat you up, and the Wild punchback and the 628 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 2: Wild won the game. But it had to kind of 629 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 2: feel like, you know, a Wild Dallas game from days 630 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 2: gone by, where they dictate what they want. We're in trouble. 631 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it when the last time the Wild played the 632 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 3: Stars in the playoffs, that was the biggest problem. It 633 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 3: was taking penalties, being stupid, and then face off win 634 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 3: on the power play point point shot score every time. 635 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, I did feel that. I'm gonna say something controversial. 636 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 3: I think a bigger vibe sucker. When the Dallas Stars 637 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 3: are in town are Wild fans that are still wearing 638 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 3: North Stars jerseys to the game. 639 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 2: I can't, I can't stand it, but they're the colors. 640 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't do it. Just wear wild stuff. Yeah, yeah, 641 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. It's like, get over it. 642 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 3: But the twenty nine I was not alive when the 643 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 3: North Stars were even a thing. I know, so from 644 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 3: my perspective, I grew up being a Wild fan. 645 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, even in Iowa. It's an identity complex. 646 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 3: I'm like, why are we ripping me and the club 647 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 3: I grew up with and you're still supporting the guys 648 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,240 Speaker 3: who left you high and dry. 649 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 2: You're like, let me get this straight.

Arizona Wildcats are favored over Arkansas 745 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 3: by eight and a half points. 746 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,479 Speaker 2: What are we talking about?
