30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,320

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: When I first heard the news, I was really scared.

83
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: And then the results continue to get better and better.

84
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: In the fact that you're here, I mean, it's taken

85
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: a complete one to eighty from where it was to

86
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880

Speaker 4: the system, and it's always tough.

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: But then and then they found it.

105
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 4: You know, they found it because they have character guys,

124
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,560

Speaker 2: god he did well.

128
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 4: I mean, if you watch the way he's playing, you know,

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: compared to last year. Yeah, you know what he's doing

130
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: it every shift absolutely and you know what, he'll take

131
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: a hit, he'll give a hit, and he'll get in

132
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 4: the areas that you know why I never gave up

133
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: on him, And we had this conversation and on the

134
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: weekly show Wild Weekly with you and Brandon, is that

135
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 4: his speed just opens up ice for everybody and his

136
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: linemates and so when he's doing the other things mine.

137
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: He's pretty pretty good, Yeah, pretty damn.

138
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: Good without a doubt.

139
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: And the good thing is, to me, the biggest difference

140
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: between October to November is that defensive structure in front

141
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: of them. But none of that matters if you're not

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: getting goaltending. Gosh, we talk about it all the time

143
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: in the broadcast. You can play as well as you want,

144
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: but as long as you've got bad goaltending, you've got nothing.

145
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: And right now they've got two of the best, right

146
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: And yes, Pervalstad is on a heater like I don't

147
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: know that I've seen anyone in a wild uniform. And

148
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: that's all due respect to Manny Fernandez, Dwayne Rolis and

149
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Devin Dube, Nick Nicholas Backstrom the heater that yes, Pravalstad

150
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: is on right now, Patrick, especially if it gets passed

151
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: overtime into the shootown, the guy feels like he's just

152
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 2: well the Wall of Saint Paul.

153
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: What do we know, Kevin about making it? Making runs

154
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: in the playoffs make you know, it's the big equalizer.

155
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: If you don't have goaltending, you're done. But now what

156
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: this has done is that and you know, we we

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: talked about this too, but I'll bring it up again,

158
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: is that it pushes gus yep, it pushes him and

159
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: it makes him say, oh, I've got.

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: To be ready.

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: I can't oh even if I have a poor stomach

162
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: like he did in the Four Nations and I'm not

163
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: ripping them. But the reality was, and in Game eighty

164
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: two last year, didn't didn't come out for the third

165
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: I'm not you know, people get sick, I get it,

166
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: and you know all that. So I'm not going to say, oh, well,

167
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: he didn't want to play in the third period of

168
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: the biggest game whether we make the playoffs or not

169
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: make the playoffs.

170
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: But I think it's just going to put.

171
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: Something in his head where Okay, I got a guy

172
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: he was playing Rookie of the Year, like, you know,

173
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: is he rook is he.

174
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: Considered he's considered a rookie. I think he actually is.

175
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a little asterisk by his name in the

176
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: stats because he is still they're considering him a rookie.

177
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: But I got a guy who's six and oh and

178
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: in his last six starts, yeah, six and all.

179
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pushing each other and that's what's so great.

180
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: So you need Gusson did that for for Flower last

181
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: year and now it's Valstad pushing Gus.

182
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: Don't you think it was a little bit different though,

183
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: because Flower was Flower and he wasn't going to play

184
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: you know, he was I didn't get that feeling that

185
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 4: he was going to be okay, you know, he was

186
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: just that guy, that nice guy. You know, Yeah, play

187
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: me when you want to play me, and you know,

188
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. But this is two young guys going it,

189
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, and I think it's a healthy competition.

190
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: Oh, without a doubt. Yeah, they love each other, it is.

191
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: They are pushing each other for playing time and right

192
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 2: now they're in a full blown rotation.

193
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

194
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: I don't know how much longer it lasts, especially the

195
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: way Valstad is playing and the way he's getting results.

196
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: You have to look at this schedule, Patrick, They've played

197
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: almost twenty five games already. They're not even through November. No,

198
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: I mean, they're playing on just They're gonna have fourteen

199
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: games in the month of November. You have to have

200
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: two goaltygers. And to me, that was the biggest question

201
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: mark coming into this season. You knew pretty much what

202
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: you had in Philip Gusofson, but yes, for Valstad. You know,

203
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: God love him. He was an unknown commodity coming into

204
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: this season. He had a great resume and before he

205
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: got into the pros, but he did not look good

206
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: last year in the American Ocuyer behind a very bad team,

207
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: but he also struggled with injuries, and he'll be the

208
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: first to admit mentally he was a shell of his

209
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: former self.

210
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: But all of that has been wiped away. It started

211
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: in October.

212
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: Even if the team wasn't getting results, he was and

213
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: now he's seven h to two something like that. He's

214
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: unbeaten in regulation this season. He's won three straight in

215
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: the shootout, has been basically unstoppable. I know they beat

216
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: him one time last night, but he made the stop

217
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: when he had to. He denied Cale McCarthy got the victory,

218
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: and he's just been a force.

219
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: I had an opportunity to talk to.

220
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 2: Him earlier this week and the difference between Volstead and

221
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 2: Gustavson compared to what Marc Andre Fleury is. Fleury is

222
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: going to make the spectacular safe because constantly he's gonna

223
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: be out of position. He's going to be throwing himself

224
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: in the crease. He's going to bend his spine like

225
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: it's a slinky But Gustafson and Valstead make everything look

226
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: so easy because they're so positionally sound.

227
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 4: Here's the deal too. You know, if you look back

228
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: to last year, remember when they called him up and

229
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 4: they put him in a.

230
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Game in a real tough spot in Dallas back to back. Yes,

231
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: but you're coming.

232
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: Up and you don't really feel part of the team

233
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 4: and you know you're not there for a long time

234
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 4: because of the you know, they weren't going to keep

235
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: three goalies up, right, yeah, and and Flower wasn't going

236
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: and gust wasn't going. So you're kind of, I don't

237
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: want to say, like, you're just kind of there, and

238
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: so yeah, go ahead and play.

239
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: And you know it wasn't good, you know, but maybe

240
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: the team wasn't good. And from me you can't recall.

241
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: But now he's it's you got some stability, you live here,

242
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 4: you know, you're on the team, and and he's and

243
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 4: he's run with it, growing with each and every save.

244
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: And let's not forget he was the number one pick

245
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 4: for a reason. You know, I mean he was freaking

246
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 4: really really good as a junior, you know, junior goaltender

247
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: and and certainly earned the right to be a first

248
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 4: round draft pick. And now he you know, now it's

249
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: it just takes time with the younger guys too, and

250
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: and you and we're seeing it.

251
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: So but now the big question.

252
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: And I and I, Hey, I'm gonna admit when I

253
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: was wrong.

254
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 8: I went into the season.

255
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: No first time though, is that I didn't think this

256
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: team would have the depth. I thought, oh my gosh.

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: One injury here, one injury there.

258
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to hang on for a while, right

259
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 4: And now now it's now it's a situation where look

260
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: at the advancement of year off. We talked about who

261
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 4: I told you, and all of a sudden, he's in.

262
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: He's in the mix to stage your number one center.

263
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: He could be your long term number one center.

264
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: Correct, So what does that mean? What does that mean?

265
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: That means you got to find a place for Rossi

266
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: because he's not going to the second line when he

267
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: comes back.

268
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 8: Right.

269
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: So, and I've had this conversation with other people is

270
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 4: what do you do with them?

271
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you do with them?

272
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: And I say that not him being he's a top

273
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: six guy, but he may not be a top six

274
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 4: guy here. So what is the what is the rule

275
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 4: for a guy like him your fourth line?

276
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: And I get in arguments with.

277
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: People about this. He's not a fourth liner right right?

278
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 4: For what they have to do.

279
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: That's a Nicol Sturm spot. Anyway, he's going to be

280
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: your fourth line size right? Why because he's a checker

281
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: and he he loves that role. And yeah, Rossi's not

282
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: that guy, right right?

283
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: And again nothing, but there's been talk, not his name,

284
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 4: but there's been talk about Minnesota adding a top six guy.

285
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: So to add a top six guy, well, you're not

286
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 4: going to give your own fourth round picks, fifth round pick,

287
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: sixth round pick.

288
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: You give up quality players aka potential Marco Rossi, potentially him,

289
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: and you know I and I throw it.

290
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 4: I throw this name out there, I throw you know,

291
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: if they're going to try to get a high level player,

292
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: you can name names of a Tate Thompson, you know,

293
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 4: guys like that, right, you have to give up more

294
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: than a Marco. I throw Jonas Brodein out there. Oh,

295
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: don't do that, and I won't. But my point is

296
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: you have to give up something to get something. And yeah,

297
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 4: you want it to be a fair trade for both teams,

298
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: but you know, it all depends on Bill Garan thinks

299
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: he needs, you know, to keep this thing going. I

300
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: think they need another top six forward just because Kevin

301
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: to make a run. You know, you need to really

302
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: two lines that are really gonna like whoa yeah say,

303
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know what they're gonna do.

304
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: Maybe they won't do anything.

305
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: We saw what happened last year, right when they they

306
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: went on a run early. They are in their playoff

307
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: spot in December by December and needed to just you know,

308
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: hold serve right.

309
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: They did that.

310
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: They did that, yep, so you know, well, I'm just

311
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: curious to see eventually what will happen.

312
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: I'm just glad they're in this conversation because October they

313
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: dropped nine of twelve. It was as thick of an

314
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: atmosphere as when Dean Evison got fired. I mean, that's

315
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: the type of month that cost people jobs. They didn't

316
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: they were patient. And whatever happened in that player's only

317
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,479
Speaker 2: meeting and the Halloween party and how it trans transferred

318
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: into November, I have no idea.

319
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: I don't care.

320
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: Whatever they did, it's been magic because they're eleven one

321
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: and one this month alone, after losing nine to twelve

322
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: to open the season. So whatever they did, they found

323
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: some kind of a magic formula. Now you got to

324
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: keep it going. They were really good yesterday against a

325
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: very good Colorado Avalanche team.

326
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: Now avoid the hangover.

327
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: Get your twelfth win of the of the month of

328
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: November tonight against a bad Buffalo Sabers team that's lost.

329
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: They're dead last in the Eastern Conference.

330
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: They continue to flounder at the bottom of the standings

331
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: year after year after year. But these are the kinds

332
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: of games that scare me before they go on a

333
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: lengthy road. Try I ask you.

334
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 4: This, would you like to see Alex Tuck back in

335
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: the organization?

336
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: And what? I yeah? I mean you can pick I

337
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: can pick a handful of guys off that team that

338
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: would look great in a wild uniform. But it takes

339
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: some magic to pull it off. I know there's been

340
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: talks about that, and we can get.

341
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: Into that because you can look at Buffalo's team and yeah,

342
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: they've got a plethora of talent.

343
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: They do. Why has it not transferred into Whims right?

344
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: You know they haven't made the playoffs since you played.

345
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's been it hasn't been that long,

346
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: but still it's been it's been incredible. It's awful. All right,

347
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: we got to take a break. We're going to talk

348
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: some college hockey. We got to get into the Gophers.

349
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Luke Strand, the head coach

350
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: of Minnesota State. When we return. Will also be joined

358
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on this, Patrick eleven Am, the

359
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: great John Mayasich will be here in studio the go

00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: to have the top two scores in Golden Goal for

362
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: history in one place. I can't wait. I knew for

363
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: a fact that when I told you John was coming

364
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: in studio to talk about all things hockey and including

365
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: his new book that's out, I knew that you would

366
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: light up, and you actually did, and it's gonna be fun.

367
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: He'll be hearing about forty five minutes. It'll be awesome.

368
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 4: And you know, I've never told him this, and I'm

369
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: going to tell him this is that you know, I listen,

370
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 4: I finished thirty points behind him or something. Yeah, but

371
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 4: if I would have got close, I leave it there is.

372
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 3: That right, you would watched away.

373
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,120

374
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: it was the you know, Frozen four. Well back then

375
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: it was the final four, Yeah, and we needed a goal, right, right,

376
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: big difference.

377
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,159

378
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,000

00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: Before we get into the Minutia, let's talk about last

406
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: night's win, a four zero shutout of northern Michigan.

407
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, kind of good for the guys that you know,

408
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 6: we're growing and I think the guys are following through

409
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 6: an asked and they're becoming more consistent with it, which

410
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 6: is a good sign for us and obviously playing room

411
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 6: for growth. But we've been nicked up by the injury

412
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 6: bugging guys are just playing different spots. But the galvanizing

413
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 6: moment of everyone getting involved in impact is is really

414
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 6: good for our team.

415
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 4: Hey, look, always great to talk to you as always.

416
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: When you play.

417
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: When you go up to a team that hasn't won

418
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: a game in the league this year, and you know,

419
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: we know that you know the struggles that Northern has

420
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 4: been through. Is it is it difficult to get your

421
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: team or or what do you say to your team?

422
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 4: Uh so it's not like a trap series, you know,

423
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 4: to get them ready to play a team that that

424
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: hasn't won a game.

425
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 6: No, your thanks, Pat, and by the way, great to

426
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 6: your voice back at it. Thank you. You know it

427
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 6: is you want to keep a standard and play to

428
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 6: a standard and play it opponentless hockey as you can.

429
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 6: You know, can we play better than we were a

430
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 6: week ago? And vice versa, can we nip things that

431
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,239
Speaker 6: we did it? We could go that we might not

432
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: have liked or or liked and add on to it.

433
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: Those are big parts. And then end of the day

434
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: like for just for our crew, like yeah, you successfully close,

435
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 6: so you can't take things for granted, and we got

436
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 6: to find ways to just keep getting better because it's

437
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 6: gonna matter.

438
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, I have a ton of question Toria. You

439
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 4: know you talked about the injury bug. We'll start there,

440
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 4: and I see you got another one last night as

441
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 4: Zetterberg was injured.

442
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 2: I don't know his status.

443
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: But I mean, you guys have been just completely dinged up,

444
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: you know, barely enough guys to get in the lineup.

445
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: How how has that been and and if it gets

446
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 4: to a point, Luke, has there ever been a thought

447
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: of bringing guys more guys in at Christmas? Or or

448
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 4: are you just kind of waiting to see how things

449
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 4: shape out?

450
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 7: You know?

451
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 6: Well, the answer to that, we we opted in and

452
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 6: there's like thirty four of the teams that opted into

453
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 6: the house, the House settlements, so we are actually at

454
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: robster capacity. And the way it's it's laid out right now,

455
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 6: which I think these are unforeseen compliquents of what the

456
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 6: mc doua a had going yeah, there there is no addition.

457
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 6: You really, you can't add so so I mean for

458
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 6: a sit now, yeah, we're If you're under twenty sixth dyeah,

459
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 6: you can find your head. But if you're not, you're

460
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 6: at your living And then the other pro I think

461
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 6: for us to be like the all hands on deck though,

462
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 6: we've got centers playing wing and d playing center. And

463
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 6: I'll tell you that, everybody.

464
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: No one's feeling sorry for you, all right, nice, No

465
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: one's feeling sorry for you.

466
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: No one is feeling.

467
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: Right, No such thing, no thing.

468
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 4: Did you guys, did you gus coaches? Did you say, hey,

469
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 4: that's not enough, guy, I mean we need more, you know,

470
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: twenty eight thirty. Did you guys have any saying that

471
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: or or was that just the way it was?

472
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 6: No, we didn't, and it was just the opt in.

473
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: I think the price. You know, all the rosters of

474
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 6: different sports had to change, and they found twenty six

475
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 6: for hockey. It's too short. I mean, it should be

476
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 6: twenty eight. And if someone wants more for me, you

477
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 6: got to deal with more. You know, a year ago

478
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 6: we didn't have a lot of interest, so then you

479
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 6: got trying to make guys into in the lineups that

480
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 6: don't shouldn't come out or get in. And it's a

481
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 6: fine line. It's it's been a wonky wonky injury to

482
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 6: top it off, Yeah.

483
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 4: A couple of guys I want to talk about that

484
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 4: that you know, both should be considered for the Hoby

485
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 4: in my opinion. But my opinion is, you know, irrelevant.

486
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: But but Evan murr And and Alex Tracy are you know,

487
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 4: two of the best in college hockey, and uh talk

488
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 4: about them and their leadership and you know, uh, just

489
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 4: how they've been for your team.

490
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 6: You know that you got the right two guys. Mersey

491
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 6: at the I think it's whatever third in the country

492
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 6: scoring for defense and right now, and but what's happened

493
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 6: to the team is is starting. This is just complete

494
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 6: game has really been on the rise, is off and

495
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 6: some instincts are very high end. But he just does

496
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 6: he does more than I think the the blue line

497
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 6: for us. He's a great transition. He's gotten so much,

498
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 6: like I said, thirtier with defending, getting stops and then

499
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 6: trace and you know, I know we've got the Richter

500
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 6: reward and I know the whole beat. It's it's hard

501
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 6: to ignore what he's done. On such a crazy.

502
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: Consisted level all the time.

503
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've been representing your country in the Finger Cup

504
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 6: over over the break there, and it's it's I've been lucky.

505
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 6: I've been had a I've had a great seat to

506
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 6: this whole thing for a long time. Winning a close

507
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 6: cup with him in Sioux City, to you know, being

508
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 6: reunited with the pure man Catos, an absolute warrior of

509
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 6: a kid, that's a fund of a human beings.

510
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: Talking to Luke Strand, head coach at Minnesota State, the

511
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: Mavericks got the victory last night in you got the

512
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 2: four zero win in Marquette, Michigan. The rematch coming up

513
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: later on tonight six o seven of the puck drop

514
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: in the Eastern time zone, a little after five o'clock

515
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: here in a little bit closer to home, Luke, when

516
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: I look at the c cha tell me how things

517
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: have evolved. It's fun from a spectators standpoint to see

518
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: the new buildings there in Augustana, the new one there

519
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: in Saint Thomas as well. Life feels like it's been

520
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: going in the right direction there for your conference.

521
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 6: It's been good. I mean, I think the parody is

522
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 6: is very high.

523
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 8: You know.

524
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 6: The additional open up of retail players, et cetera. Have

525
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 6: I've probably bought some depth to a lot of rosters

526
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 6: in our conference. We've had great about a conference success,

527
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 6: I know, unfortunately, but mean, you lost to Nodak last night,

528
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 6: but right there, it's our job to beat teams from

529
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 6: from other conferences. And then when we're inside of it,

530
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 6: it is you take your foot off the gas or

531
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 6: try to sleep through on your you're usually paying for it.

532
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 4: Hey, look, quite frankly, my blood is boiling because I'm

533
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 4: so sick of the disrespect that the CCHA is getting.

534
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: I spoke to another coach in the league that I

535
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 4: don't have to tell you who it is, but you

536
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 4: know we are talking and and and and you know,

537
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: I said, hey, there are six teams in my opinion

538
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 4: that could win the league this year. I mean, I

539
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 4: think the parody as you mentioned this, the you know,

540
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 4: the skill level is you know, because of you know

541
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: what happened with the with the HL. It's a darn good,

542
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 4: hard league and you don't get easy wins any night.

543
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: And I'm just, quite frankly, I'm sick of the disrespect.

544
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: That your league gets.

545
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,239
Speaker 4: Secondly, you deserve to go at lead I mean, you

546
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 4: were you were darn close to going to the Frozen

547
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 4: Four last year. I thought you were the better, better

548
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: team against Western Michigan, who ended up, you know, making

549
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 4: that run and winning it. But you you know, I

550
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: thought you guys should have won that game. So anyway,

551
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 4: that's my two cents on that. And you know you

552
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: can chime in or not chime in, but but you know,

553
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 4: I just I just think your league gets complete lack

554
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: of respect and it's uh, it's time that people take

555
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 4: a look at it.

556
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 6: We will thank you. We we totally agree with you.

557
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 6: I think the engines are hard in our league. I

558
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 6: guess it's it's it's there's a friction that happens night in,

559
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 6: night out. Offensively, defensely, doesn't matter. The goaltending has been

560
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 6: superb business, getting better every single year about it. So

561
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 6: I know the teams are tight, and you know, people

562
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 6: are like, oh, there's enough skill over else. The goaltenders

563
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 6: are good, So there's there's a lot going on to it.

564
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 6: Just a great intense league, and the coaches have done

565
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 6: a great job of building rosters that that have depth

566
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 6: and can win outside of our league.

567
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Look, thanks for doing this. Good luck tonight. At the

568
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,840

580
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,439

581
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: throw out there and any one of them could win.

582

00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: opening the show and you're giving your thoughts on the Euros,

633
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: the ross He's the whole time back behind the glass,

634
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: he's seeking his head. All here are rock shaking back there.

635
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 2: His head is just rattling. So you know this has

636
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: been a long time coming. Are you ready?

637
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 5: It's not the first time that Pat mcleny has called

638
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: for the trade of Marco Rossi on this show.

639
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: For the trade, yes you did. He did not call

640
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: for the trade of Marco right.

641
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: He said if something were to happen that he would

642
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: probably be the guy that would be funny. Oh, here's

643
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: the audio.

644
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 3: I would say, Halla lujah if it's just that. Oh,

645
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: I'm all over it, Rossie King, I'm.

646
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 4: All over It would have been all over for that one.

647
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

648
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 5: It's got three goals this year? So no, But actually

649
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 5: I don't want to go there. I will talk you

650
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 5: Rob though, I actually want to talk. I want to

651
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 5: do some.

652
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: Ripping, and not of any of you guys.

653
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 5: That'll be nice, thank you, No, because I actually do

654
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 5: like you guys. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't

655
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 5: be ripping you. I'd be stewing to my quietly. I

656
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 5: want to rip someone by the name of Connor McGahee.

657
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 5: And I understand that you're.

658
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: Avalanche play by play radio right, yes, yes, you're in

659
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: the booths and you want to be friends.

660
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: I can rip him to shreds. The guy is eetulance

661
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 5: and he's frankly just a bum.

662
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: What did he do to you?

663
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: The radio guy for the Avalanche.

664
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 5: Well, I'll have you know, first of all, just the

665
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 5: way that he's acting. Here's the real crime is the

666
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 5: end of the game. In the shootout, here does.

667
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 12: Herey comes Kale mccarr right handed shot, white side, circle

668
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 12: of acar try to go five boles stay made by

669
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 12: ball stent and he celebrates like he's one with Stanley Cup.

670
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 7: He has not.

671
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 12: It's a three to two shootout win for the Wild

672
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 12: and the Avalanche have their first loss of any kind

673
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 12: in ten games. They still get a point. They still

674
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 12: lead the Central Division, they still lead the National Hockey League,

675
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 12: and they still are the best team in the world.

676
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: Three two is your final wow.

677
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 5: So first of all, you got to mention you're the

678
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: best team in the world. The fact that a rookie,

679
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 5: why are we on celebration police all of a sudden?

680
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 5: Can we not show a little personality here? Can Falsa

681
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 5: not have fun out there? It just has to be

682
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 5: going through the motions yelling at Cloud's guy, what a bump?

683
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: I for one love it. I don't know about you, Pat,

684
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: I can't.

685
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 4: Believe I'm agreeing with Brett Blake exactly now.

686
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: How would I feel if it was Wedgwood doing it

687
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: on the other side of the ice. The difference here

688
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: is that we know the backstory of what Valstad went

689
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: through last year. We know what he's been able to

690
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: do this year, and this has just been kind of

691
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: his bit. You know, he's celebrating, not like he won

692
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup, but I think we know what he's

693
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: went through and that emotion is coming through.

694
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 3: I for one love it.

695
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 4: Here's another point we all know, and we would all say,

696
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: no question about it. The best team in the league

697
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: right now is the Colorado Avalanche. I agreed, you know,

698
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 4: I mean, and they they've earned that. And so when

699
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: you beat a team like them that hasn't lost in

700
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: ten games, what do you not? What do you are

701
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 4: you supposed to just go off the ice?

702
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, you know you acknowledge, you're pumped for

703
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 2: what you.

704
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 4: Did, and you just stopped the two best.

705
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 3: Players in the game, right Yeah.

706
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 2: Mccarr and McKinnon.

707
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 9: Stop.

708
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: I think McKinnon scored.

709
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: No, didn't know he did not.

710
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: Hang on, I got here. McKinnon was the second he missed.

711
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: It was the first guy then that scored. It was

712
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 2: oh yeah, Martin, he just scored. McKinnon was stopped. Mccarr

713
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 2: was stop. You're absolutely right, and so those are the

714
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,959
Speaker 2: two that were denied. Would you not celebrate? Yes? Yes,

715
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: I would, yes, And that's been his thing, especially when

716
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,479
Speaker 2: he wins in the shoot out the way he does.

717
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 2: I think he deserves to celebrate, and I love it,

718
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: and I think the fans love it. That gets the

719
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: crowd going. If you're an opposing broadcaster, maybe you don't

720
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: necessarily enjoy it as much. I think we should move on.

721
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: I think so too.

722
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Well, I have so much more of ripping

723
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 5: of the other goals as well.

724
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 2: Okay, we can move on. He was petulant.

725
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: I know they weren't having I talked to Moser a

726
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 3: little bit. He's the TV play by play guy, and.

727
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 4: He sent me always been.

728
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: He wasn't happy with the fact that the one of

729
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: the Caprice have goals went in off his foot. He said,

730
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: what is a soccer now? He said, already calmed down.

731
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 2: It was a good goal.

732
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 3: They looked at it and counted, so.

733
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: I'll he blew him down.

734
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 12: But the point throws it in front and trows off

735
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 12: with the real caprice Off. But it well, if a

736
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 12: goal was going to finally be scored against Scott Wedgwood

737
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 12: or frankly, any miner, it was going to be like that.

738
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 3: A lucky bounds from Lackrisov.

739
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 12: It's the shutout streak and what seems like three and

740
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 12: a half years for the Colorado Avalanche. Him threw it

741
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 12: in from Burns, had caprice Off tied up but not enough,

742
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 12: and caprice Off gets his two hundreds career goal, and

743
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 12: it's an ugly one.

744
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 4: That's a guy that is you know, he's never going

745
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 4: to lose his job.

746
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: No, I'll tell you this much.

747
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: And and he talks about Volstead celebrating like they won

748
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: the Standleys Gap both him and Moser. When they call

749
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: a goal for the for the Avalanche, I don't care

750
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: if it's October or if it's April. It sounds like

751
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: the Avalanche just won the Stanley Cup. So you know,

752
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 2: maybe mind your own bobber, you know, is what I

753
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 2: would say to him, because I guarantee you. When Gabriel

754
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: Landeskog scored in the third period, it sounded like the

755
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: world just collapsed and it was the best thing that

756
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 2: ever happened. Yeah, so, I mean that's you know what,

757
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: that's a home broadcaster right there for you. Yeah, so

758
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: guy's a bum. And I didn't go that far. I will,

759
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: well you are here in the booth. Well, I'm not

760
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: allowed him. I actually think he does a pretty good job.

761
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: And that's the way they they call it, and so

762
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: be it. But is a good guy Moser and McGhee,

763
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know McGehee, but I.

764
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 5: Do know Moser has been on the show and I

765
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 5: think he's been good to us, so very good to us.

766
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 2: Not a bum at all. You're happy to hear that.

767
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I would do want to do my traditional

768
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: peacocking at this point in the breakaway segment.

769
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll hit this too. You have to hit that. Yep.

770
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 5: Do you recall I think two years ago where I

771
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 5: looked ahead two I looked ahead to what the lineup

772
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 5: could be once the salary cap was over, and you said,

773
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: it's so far out, how can you possibly do it?

774
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 5: But that I have I had EUROV centering Caprice often

775
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 5: zagrel and now opening segment of the show, what are

776
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 5: we talking about?

777
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 2: We didn't hear that. I don't listen to on Brett

778
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: talks exactly. Well, then all right, going go ahead continue.

779
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I'm happy that things have come to

780
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 5: fruition that I predicted. But also I'm really happy that

781
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: you're Off is turning out and they're giving him a

782
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 5: shot and it looks like he's it's his spot to lose.

783
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: Well at this point, here's the.

784
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 4: Deal, and I'll try to make this condensed. But you

785
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 4: have a different mindset when you are in the top

786
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 4: six or in the bottom six. And that is simply

787
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 4: because when you're in the top six, you are expected

788
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: to produce offensively, you know, be that guy that is

789
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: a threat all the time. When you're in the bottom six,

790
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 4: you are in your mindset and it's just how you

791
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 4: think as a player. Is that, Okay, I gotta be

792
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: really really responsible defensively, can't give anything up. And when

793
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 4: and as the and when the coach gives the guys

794
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: in the top six, when you see capricef turn the

795
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: puck over, it's not because he wants because he has

796
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 4: the ability to try to make a play. When you're

797
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 4: in the bottom six, you're thinking, I don't make that play,

798
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 4: I just get it in.

799
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: So it's it's really really different. And that's why I

800
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: go back to.

801
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 4: Kenna Marco ROSSI play in the bottom six with that,

802
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 4: you know, and have that mindset or even a year

803
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 4: of or whatever.

804
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: So that that's my pin. Here's my thinking with Eurov,

805
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 2: especially when he plays in a bottom six role. He's

806
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: so great defensively.

807
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: He he doesn't have to be.

808
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: He does and have the offensive acumen for it as

809
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: of yet anyway, but at some point that will develop.

810
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 2: Why I think he works so well in the top six,

811
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: and especially on that line, you got the basically the

812
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 2: Sedine Twins on your wings. You got Caprisov and Zcarella

813
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: that when they're healthy, they're just gonna go out there

814
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: and play catch and they're playing pickup hockey and you

815
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: really don't even exist in their way.

816
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: Not everybody can play with those, But that's.

817
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 2: Why he's so good, because he's so defensively reliable, they

818
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: can go play pickup sticks in the offensive zone and

819
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: then he's he's waiting to contribute when he can but

820
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: he can also help them out defensively. In my mind,

821
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: that you can get back and help hold down the

822
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: ford from a defensive standpoint.

823
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 5: Sounds like you're watching miracle on ice. Sometimes the you're

824
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 5: off to Caprice, Soov to Fatissov.

825
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: This right, it's fun to watch Caprice and Zucarella, the

826
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 3: things they do.

827
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: The goal they had the other night where Zucarello somehow

828
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: found Caprice off in the slot one time blast and

829
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 2: there's the goaltender has no chance because the way that

830
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 2: puck comes off as sticks. But that's why I think

831
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: Europe compliments them so well.

832
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 5: Where do you think the I think the ceiling for

833
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 5: Zeeve is still. You know, everyone from scouts to coaches

834
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 5: thinks the sky is the limit for him. But as

835
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 5: a stands today November twenty nine, twenty five, where do

836
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 5: you see his bet? I like that he's on the

837
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: first power play.

838
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't.

839
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 5: I'm not offended that he's on a third pairing with Pegosian.

840
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 5: As the stands right now, where's his best use and uh,

841
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 5: where's the best chance for him to succeed in this lineup?

842
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: As a stands today.

843
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: He gets better every day, He's more confident. Every day,

844
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 4: and he's cocky because he thinks he's good and he's

845
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 4: not afraid to tell you he's good. And his skating

846
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 4: ability and puck handling ability, you.

847
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 2: Know, he's just like everything. It's everything is slowing down, yep,

848
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 2: and boy oh boy, And it's the same for all

849
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: these young guys. We talk about euro We talk about Valsad,

850
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: we talk about every time they touched.

851
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: The ice four years exactly.

852
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 2: You don't think about jewel rics andek what took for

853
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 2: him to evolve into the player that he's become.

854
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: You know, there was a lot of table.

855
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: If he we had Britt Brett Blakemore's breakaways back in

856
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: the days, Julee would have been ran out on.

857
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 4: A rail, Yeah, along with a lot like why are

858
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: you on Fillino?

859
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 5: By the way, I mean he's he's the points aren't there.

860
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 5: But he's doing all the defensive stuff that he's doing.

861
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 2: Sam Bam.

862
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,479
Speaker 4: Is he is he expected to be a point producer? No,

863
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 4: he is not contribute. That's what I that melt anyway,

864
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: But go ahead.

865
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 5: Anyways, Yeah, I didn't rip him. I said he's doing

866
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 5: the things he's doing defensively, he's getting physical points aren't there?

867
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: But that's not right now, which takes and that's the

868
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: and not to sidetrack here take away from Brett Blakemore's breakaways.

869
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: But they've gone eleven one and one in November, and

870
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: that's without key bodies missing from the lineup. We talked

871
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: about Rossie Felino's out now, Tara Cenko still day to day,

872
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: could return as soon as today. Henestroza, say what you want.

873
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 2: He's been a valuable addition to this roster, has been

874
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: a key piece to you know, the first two months

875
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: of this season you went, you know, uh, so you got.

876
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 3: Guys that are four or five? Are you got four

877
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: out right?

878
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 4: Now?

879
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: You got Hartman back yesterday who proved to be a

880
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: valuable addition back into the line up yesterday in that win.

881
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, but that's what I mean.

882
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: They're getting it done despite missing you know, you can't

883
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: send any.

884
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 4: I mean eventually you've got to get that roster to

885
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 4: what it is, right and there's some guys that can't

886
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 4: get sent down.

887
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, if only there was something they could do right.

888
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: Uh, you're of it?

889
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 8: To me?

890
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 5: Is this year's you want to say McK beckman, I'm

891
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 5: constantly pushing for him to be elevated.

892
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Beckman never got a shot in the top six.

893
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 2: What do you want to say that again? Who's that guy?

894
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: I missed it?

895
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 5: I said, mc Beckman, that's one of your many Yeah,

896
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 5: what do you want?

897
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: What do you want? Well you're off.

898
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he's elevated exactly and it's worked out.

899
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, go figure a guy. That's it's not he's

900
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: not falling down.

901
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 5: I'm not going to campaign for him to be the

902
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 5: top center or the top line, but I just would

903
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 5: like to see him succeed. And I just don't know

904
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 5: what it's going to take. Is ogre and he skates hard,

905
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 5: but it's just not something's not clicking with him when

906
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 5: he comes up to the big club. Is there any

907
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 5: world where he starts breaking in to this team?

908
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 4: Petty, Well, we're waiting, aren't we. I mean we're we're

909
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 4: you know, he's he can he can skate, he's big,

910
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 4: he's strong, he can shoot.

911
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 2: For some reason he is not, He's not.

912
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 8: I don't know.

913
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: He just it's puzzling.

914
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 4: He's very puzzling because I don't know if it's just

915
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,479
Speaker 4: being cautious or what. I think he's got to throw

916
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 4: all that cautiousness out and just go and play because

917
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 4: everything is there for him to be a power forward

918
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 4: in this league. And it's perplexing to me. I don't

919
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 4: have an answer for it.

920
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 3: I was distracted.

921
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: Don't know what you're talking about, because Alex went to

922
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: go get mister Mayasich and his son.

923
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 8: Man.

924
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: You know, he's got all the tools. You watch him

925
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: in practice. He's got a world class shot, he's got

926
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: an NHL body, he can fly, but he just has

927
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 2: not made an impact in this team, on this team.

928
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 4: So something tells me something's going on on the are

929
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 4: dying for coming into the season.

930
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: They wanted him in a top six, Yes, it was

931
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: there on a silver platform with with Matt Cucarello missing

932
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 2: the first fifteen games, managing young man, this is your

933
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 2: opportunity make mistakes, and he didn't do it.

934
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 4: You know, I think he's afraid God, if I make

935
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 4: a mistake, I'm going back down. And you know he's

936
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 4: just gotta he's gotta throw all that out and just play.

937
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: I still think that there's going to be I don't

938
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: want to give up on him. No, And that's just it.

939
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 2: And and right now, if you were to trade him,

940
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: you'll get nothing in return, and he has the opportunity

941
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 2: to blossom once everything does click.

942
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 3: But man, it's got to be Eric Sanak.

943
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 8: Yeah.

944
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean, there's any number of examples you can do.

945
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: I think it's all upstairs with him. But I don't know.

946
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 5: We had a couple of good hustle plays yesterday that

947
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,239

948
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 5: back check from ogrind But but just overall.

949
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but way, yeah, here's a problem, Brett.

950
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 4: It's not every you know, Yeah, it's got to be

951
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 4: every it's got to be every shift.

952
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: And I mean no disrespect for by the way I

953
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: say this, but thus far underwhelming is how I would

954
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: sum up Liam Ogren. And he's, like I said, he's

955
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 2: got everything right there in front of him in terms

956
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: of tools and everything you would want from an NHL

957
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: or but it just not It hasn't clicked here on

958

961
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 4: you know, because he was trying.

962
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,400

1085
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,839

Speaker 3: With the Golphers.

1088
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 2: You had some pretty fun names that I think most

1089
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: people recognize. In your days with Eveleth, when the Golden

1093
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 8: to tell them nothing. We went home to eat and sleep. Right,

1094
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 8: So what did you do?

1095
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:49,720

1522
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 8: know what do you pat But my parents never saw

1523
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 8: me play.

1524
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 2: No, I thank you.

1525
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,799
Speaker 4: My my father worked seven six, seven days a week,

1526
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 4: and my mom would my mom would come, you know

1527
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 4: when she could have, you know, because all the other

1528
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 4: kids were gone. I'm the youngest of nine, right, so

1529
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 4: she could come because she'd have to take care of

1530
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 4: the rest of them. And but my dad made sure

1531
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 4: that my mother got to every game, and you know,

1532
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 4: and that that's.

1533
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 2: But my dad, you know, you just you play, go

1534
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 2: to work, go to work, and then come on, how'd

1535
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 2: you do?

1536
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 4: We won?

1537
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 2: We lost?

1538
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 4: I played good, I played bad, but that was it.

1539
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 4: And you know, that's that's the big difference now is

1540
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 4: the parents are I think too overly involved and you

1541
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 4: know that, you know, instead of just letting their kids

1542
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 4: play and enjoy it. But that's a conversation for another day. No,

1543
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 4: but there should be discussed. Yeah, it should.

1544
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 8: And I tell parents, uh, don't push follow. Yes that's all.

1545
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 3: That's a very well stated and that's the answer.

1546

Speaker 3: That was good stuff?

1647
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:39,559
Speaker 2: What great lesson?

1648
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 7: I mean, think about it. You see all these parents,

1649
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 7: I see him every day right right, and sooner, sooner

1650
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 7: they learned that they don't push them better, the kid's

1651
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 7: going to be off long term.

1652
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 2: I think, just let him play and have fun, right,

1653
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 2: I agree, good lesson for everyone. Really enjoyed our conversations

1654
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 2: from last year, and the feedback was so great because

1655
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 2: we do spend a lot of time, especially on the

1656
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 2: pro level and the college level. But you're a guy

1657
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 2: that's got boots on the ground on the youth level.

1658
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 2: And I we follow you on Twitter and the youth

1659
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,600
Speaker 2: Hockey of on Twitter, and you guys are everywhere and

1660
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 2: anywhere at any given time.

1661
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 3: So what's going on in your world these days?

1662
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 7: Well, Kevin, this is the busiest weekend of the regular season,

1663
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 7: if you think about it.

1664
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 8: He has all the high.

1665
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 7: School teams playing, all the youth teams playing, and there's

1666
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 7: like twelve or fourteen tournaments, you know, champions crown tomorrow.

1667
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 7: So there's a lot on the line at the youth level.

1668
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 7: And then the high school boys and girls are now

1669
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 7: under well on their way and having some good hockey games.

1670
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 4: Hey, Tony before we continue, And this is something that's

1671
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 4: been on my mind, and I know Zach Elverson brought

1672
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 4: it up on Twitter and it kind of kind of

1673
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 4: just like, man, the cost of playing hockey is outrageously.

1674
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 4: Kevin knows he's got kids, you know, Oh, Expenser, what

1675
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 4: can we do, Tony? And you you've got boots on

1676
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 4: the ground, and I mean, this is your life. What

1677
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 4: can we do to lower the cost of you know,

1678
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 4: for kids, whether it be equipment playing you know, I

1679
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 4: mean we always talk about it, but nothing ever happens.

1680
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 4: And so that's my question to you.

1681
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 7: Well, I think that's that's the kind of a two parter.

1682
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 7: Pat First of all, the while is doing a skate

1683
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 7: of Forward program this year, which is gonna be great

1684
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 7: because they're gonna focus on lesser programs out there like

1685
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 7: Winona and Roseville and Armstrong Cooper and get some of

1686
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:33,440
Speaker 7: those areas that really need to push, like Wilmer, Minnesota.

1687
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 7: So that's one thing. On Hockey Day Minnesota, they're gonna

1688
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 7: have a program. They're gonna have a matching program with

1689
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 7: Tria where you can make a donation that day and

1690
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 7: sure you will match it. So that's a fantastic program

1691
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 7: right there. And then the other hand is how can

1692
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 7: we make it cheaper? Yes, they know to people like me,

1693
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 7: for Krayoul, I have something offered every day in the offseason.

1694
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 7: You don't have to do every program. You can shoot bucks,

1695
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 7: you can do stick handling in the basement. There's a

1696
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 7: lot of other things you can do that are low

1697
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 7: cost and free or free, and that's what you got

1698
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 7: to really focus.

1699
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 4: And then here, okay, here's my question too. Right, you know,

1700
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 4: I don't even know if they exist anymore, but I

1701
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 4: know the cost of these sticks that it's outrageous, right,

1702
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 4: those in skates, But are there is there a Are

1703
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 4: there are wood sticks even available anymore? Because I would

1704
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 4: assume that they would be cheaper. And why can't these

1705
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 4: kids that are younger use them?

1706
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 7: That's what I cannot answer that question. I think a

1707
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 7: kid twelve and unders should be using a wooden stick,

1708
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:38,480
Speaker 7: but they wouldn't be caught deadly.

1709
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 2: No, they would. And that's that's it, Tony. I know.

1710
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 2: And again I got a ban them, and I got

1711
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 2: a high schooler, and I tell my ban them in particularly,

1712
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 2: and while they were growing up, I said, go out

1713
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 2: there and break a branch off the tree and you're

1714
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 2: going to get the same results as well. You're paying

1715
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 2: for that three hundred and fifty dollars stick. You're not

1716
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 2: in the National Hockey League. You're not. It probably makes

1717
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 2: a difference for Alex Ovechkin or a career, but.

1718
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 3: At that age, no, you're just passing right.

1719
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 7: But I'll never forget it was about about ten twelve

1720
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 7: years ago my son was going to Chuck Gerrillo's Minnesota

1721
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 7: hockey camp up in this walk and they would shoot

1722
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 7: pucks on the tents, courts, and they would always they

1723
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 7: recommended the letter say hey, get a wooden sticks where

1724
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 7: they can shoot bucks, and so they can just ruin

1725
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 7: that stick, and so they're owning their good sticks. So

1726
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 7: we stopped the sporting good store and brainer and I

1727
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 7: got got a wood stick. He goes, what's that for.

1728
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 7: I'm like, well, you're gonna shoot bucks with this all week.

1729
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 7: He goes, I'm not shooting that thing at all. He

1730
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 7: was thirteen years old, and he just brushed me off.

1731
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 7: I'm like, well, here's your stick. I'll see you in

1732
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 7: a week.

1733
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we have to find a way to get

1734
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 4: more because for a lot of people.

1735
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 2: In this economy and you know economies.

1736
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 4: In the past and whatever, right, it's very, very expensive

1737
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 4: to play this sport. And you know, I just wish

1738
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 4: we could do something instead of talk about it, right,

1739
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 4: do something so you know we're we're all on the

1740
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 4: same level, and you know.

1741
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 2: We go and go out and do it.

1742
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 7: All.

1743
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,759
Speaker 3: Right, Well, let's we'll put it anyway.

1744
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 7: I can spend that question to a positive bat, I

1745
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 7: really can't. If you're if you're looking to place the

1746
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 7: sports cheap, you you're in the right state because our

1747
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 7: rice is half the cost of the other forty nine states.

1748
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 4: That's very true.

1749
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 7: We're doing it. We have great programs out there, we

1750
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 7: have volunteer coaches, great volunteer coaches. I reaped this morning

1751
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,639
Speaker 7: and there's Kellen Briggs on one bench and I can't

1752
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 7: think his first name is Kulova, last name either U

1753
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 7: and B guy on one bench and a golfer on

1754
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 7: the other bench. You can't get that in any other

1755
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 7: state United States.

1756
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:43,440
Speaker 4: Now, listen for all the great things we do and

1757
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 4: then and I'm not, you know, trying to be a

1758
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 4: downer on this. I just wish that we could do

1759
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 4: something to make it more affordable for everybody.

1760
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm with you, something to work on for sure. And

1761
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 2: great minds have it in their back pocket. In Pat

1762
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 2: mcletty and Tony Scott Youth Hockey Hub get to some

1763
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 2: of the highlights from a busy night last night in

1764
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 2: high school hockey.

1765
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 7: Yeah it was. It was kind of a boys' night.

1766
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 7: Was all the good games were on the boys side,

1767
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 7: and all the good games I think today are on

1768
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 7: the girls side. So we'll just stick to with it.

1769
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 7: Taka beat preseason number three Rogers last night, three to nothing.

1770
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 7: Rogers off to a very slow start. They have some

1771
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 7: of the best players in the state. They're one and three.

1772
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 7: You're Hiving blue Jackets beat Night. You're number one in

1773
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 7: Class A, yeah, number one in double Yeah, number one

1774
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 7: in Double A. More Head beat World five to three.

1775
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 7: Now here's my hot take of the day. I can't push,

1776
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 7: don't follow, but here's my hot take of the day.

1777
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 7: If Hermantown beats gil Murray today, the top five teams

1778
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 7: in Class A pounder pound are better than the top five.

1779
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:46,560
Speaker 2: WOA.

1780
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 4: Yes, I like that Hiving team. Last year was a

1781
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 4: very young team and so, uh they've got some growth.

1782
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm I'm pushing.

1783
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:58,799
Speaker 2: The Blue Jackets.

1784
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna be very good. And so

1785
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 7: on the girls side, there's some good games today.

1786
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:04,679

1845
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 11: You know, growing up as a young Taco didn't have

1846
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 11: the money to play hockey, so I can't say, you know,

1847
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 11: I'm a full blown diehard fan, but I love the

1848
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 11: team and I'm just curious, as an average fan, how

1849
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 11: excited should I be for this club this year?

1850
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 8: I know in the years past they've they've.

1851
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 11: Broken all of our hearts and what are your thoughts

1852
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:56,640
Speaker 11: on that?

1853
01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 8: How excited should we be?

1854
01:29:58,240 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 11: I mean, carill is great.

1855
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,600
Speaker 2: Keep those talkbacks coming. We'll give away a couple of

1856
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 2: random tickets.

1857
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 4: Great question.

1858
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, how excited.

1859
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 2: Should they be? Patrick? I, like I said again to

1860
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 2: reset the stage here when we talk about how we

1861
01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 2: opened up the season debut of Beyond the Pond, it

1862
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 2: couldn't have been The atmosphere couldn't have been worse around

1863
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 2: that team when they had dropped that last game to

1864
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 2: the Penguins, on October thirtieth.

1865
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 3: That was the tipping point.

1866
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:30,760
Speaker 2: They had lost nine to twelve in the month of

1867
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 2: October to open the season. There were injuries that were

1868
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,799
Speaker 2: piling up, they weren't getting results. The goaltending was porous,

1869
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 2: they weren't getting the goal scoring. The defense was shoddy,

1870
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 2: as bad as it's been in recent memory. But something

1871
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 2: clicked at the end of that game at whatever happened

1872
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:49,880
Speaker 2: in the closed door meeting, that happened the day after

1873
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 2: the Halloween party, whatever you want to attribute it to,

1874
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,839
Speaker 2: something snapped in that team in the month of November.

1875
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Because since that loss where they dropped nine to twelve

1876
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 2: this year, they are now eleven one and one in

1877
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,360
Speaker 2: the month of November. They're not beating up on the

1878
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:10,800
Speaker 2: dirt bags of the National Hockey League. They're beating Colorado, Winnipeg, Vegas, Carolina.

1879
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:12,640
Speaker 2: Go down the list of what they've done in the

1880
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,759
Speaker 2: month of November. This isn't smoking mirrors, this isn't a mirage.

1881
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 2: This is what they've been able to cobble together. Here

1882
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,599
Speaker 2: been because their best players have been their best players,

1883
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 2: their defensive structure has been sound, and their goaltending has

1884
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 2: been probably the best in the league, and the effort

1885
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 2: is there every night.

1886
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:36,800
Speaker 4: Now that being said, okay, they've built up all this

1887
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:38,360
Speaker 4: confidence in November.

1888
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 2: They but remember they did the same thing last year.

1889
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 9: I know.

1890
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:45,560
Speaker 3: Okay, and that's what the caller of the talkbacker is

1891
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 3: referring to.

1892
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 4: So here's my I caution people, because you have so

1893
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 4: many highs and so many lows throughout the season. The

1894
01:31:56,880 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 4: ones that stay steady, you know, don't let a two

1895
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:07,880
Speaker 4: game losing streak make it three, four or five, you know,

1896
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 4: And so I think consistency is going to be key. Obviously,

1897
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 4: injuries are going to be key. That happens, that's something

1898
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:21,879
Speaker 4: that you can't control. But you're right. You know, your boldies,

1899
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:25,680
Speaker 4: your your top guys are are at that level, and

1900
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 4: so you know, I just think staying can see if

1901
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 4: they can stay consistent.

1902
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Big key, which is my X factor, is the goaltending.

1903
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 2: And it's been awesome. And now you have two guys battling.

1904
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 4: I love that because they push each other and they

1905
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 4: both they both want to be at their best every night.

1906
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:48,640
Speaker 2: And when you get that, that's where your consistency comes in.

1907
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 2: And so you know, a long way Togo great.

1908
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 4: November, you know, and let's just hope, hope that we

1909
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 4: don't get That's why I'd like to see another player

1910
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 4: brought in at some point.

1911
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see two part question for you,

1912
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 2: and I'll open it up to Brett blakemore as well

1913
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 2: to talkback as the text messengers can get involved as well.

1914
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 2: We saw Nathan McKinnon last night and a lot of

1915
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 2: people point to Connor McDavid as the best player in

1916
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 2: the National Hockey League and for a good reason. How

1917
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 2: far behind is Nathan McKinnon. It feels to me like

1918
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,160
Speaker 2: he's making a real good push to be the number

1919
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: one guy in the NHL. I'm going to change that

1920
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 2: a little bit. Okay, all closest, Coroka, Well, that was

1921
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:30,400
Speaker 2: going to be the second part of my question to me.

1922
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 2: There's no doubt Coroll Caprice I was in the conversation

1923
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 2: as a top five player in the NHL. I don't

1924
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 2: care what order you want to put him, but he's

1925
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 2: in the top five's top three. Well he's not top

1926
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 2: ten anymore, he's top five, and if you want to

1927
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:44,719
Speaker 2: elevate him to the top three, So you're saying McKinnon,

1928
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 2: McDavid and caprisa would you take ahead of CAPRISA. I

1929
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 2: don't know. At one point I thought it was dry title.

1930
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 2: At one point I thought, yeah, you know, Matthews would

1931
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 2: have been in that conversation at one point. Anymore anymore,

1932
01:33:56,479 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 2: you know, Michael's unbelievable. I eat that on a daily basis. Well,

1933
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:04,560
Speaker 2: Capriceoff is unbelievable.

1934
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 7: He is.

1935
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you want a big goal, you turn it

1936
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 4: in ninety seven. Either he's setting it up or he's

1937
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 4: or scoring. It's he's top three for me, answer my

1938
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:19,719
Speaker 4: first question. First laughed at. I got laughed at when

1939
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:21,559
Speaker 4: he first came in the league.

1940
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I said stop ten already? Wow? Who Yeah?

1941
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:28,560
Speaker 2: And I feel like I take some heat when I

1942
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 2: say he's a top five talent now. His first game, Yes,

1943
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,720
Speaker 2: the overtime winner against LA Yes, very first game in

1944
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 2: the National Hockey League. He scores in all the time

1945
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:38,800
Speaker 2: for that because you were working. But I was up

1946
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,599
Speaker 2: for the two. It was a late game, wasn't it. Yes, Well,

1947
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 2: I think even John Maya said ninety two years old,

1948
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 2: he was up for it. It was one of those

1949
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 2: I really do. I really think Caprice offt and that's

1950
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 2: why he's put him in the top three.

1951
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 5: Yes, I would Brett Blake bar I mean, I remember,

1952
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 5: I would I'd be hard pressed to not at least

1953
01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:01,680
Speaker 5: be top five, is not pushing the top three. I

1954
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,720
Speaker 5: remember being in at the time the X for the

1955
01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 5: first non COVID Carill game where the first time he

1956
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 5: touched the puck on his first shift top over the

1957
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:13,559
Speaker 5: boards and it was almost it was just the whole

1958
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 5: arena just going are you kidding me? You know, the

1959
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,599
Speaker 5: feeling when we talk about the Avalanche. That was one

1960
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 5: of the first games that I remember where he was

1961
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 5: did that little roulette.

1962
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,280
Speaker 2: Wheel where he got on his edges and did that

1963
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,640
Speaker 2: that tomahawk thing around the top of the And I

1964
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 2: remember because I remember hearing Moser called he he lost

1965
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:32,160
Speaker 2: his breath watching He's like, what the.

1966
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 3: Hell is he doing? No, And that's everyone's trying to

1967
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 3: do it.

1968
01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the kids are doing it. Okay, I'm watching it.

1969
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:42,680
Speaker 2: They are, They're trying it there. Connor mcgahey thought it

1970
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 2: was kind of overrated.

1971
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 8: He has the deal.

1972
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,599
Speaker 4: What do you have a guy like capriceoft which also

1973
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 4: gives hope for Minnesota.

1974
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that you Well, you have a chance to

1975
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 2: win every night. And not only that, I mean, and

1976
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 2: I know we we use this Batman and Robin thing

1977
01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 2: too much. But when you've got Caprice I as your

1978
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 2: batman and Boldies, you're and they don't have to play

1979
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 2: on the same line. Boy, what a luxury that is

1980
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 2: for John Hines to And not only that, but that

1981
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 2: second line that he's playing on right now. Say what

1982
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 2: you will about Johansen, but you got Johansson ak, you

1983
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 2: got Boldie playing some phenomenal two way hockey. And when

1984
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 2: you got Boldie playing at the level he is to

1985
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 2: compliment Coroll Caprice on that top line, I mean, that's

1986
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 2: it's the best of both worlds. Then you're getting the

1987
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 2: great defensive structure, not just the blue line, but the

1988
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 2: team is a whole playing defensively sound, and then you're

1989
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 2: getting world class goaltending to go with it. I mean,

1990
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:34,519
Speaker 2: it's just like the perfect recipe. And it's all culminated

1991
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:35,120
Speaker 2: here in November.

1992
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 4: And all Eric Sineck is doing is shutting down the

1993
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 4: top player of him nightly, every.

1994
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 2: Night, nightly.

1995
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 3: And but that's what happened in October.

1996
01:36:43,960 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 2: October I against him October. They had guys running over him,

1997
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 2: those those young, fast teams, and that's where they were

1998
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,799
Speaker 2: getting a little loosey goosey, and now something has snapped

1999
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:55,720
Speaker 2: in the month of November where they've got back to

2000
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 2: their structure and whatever John Hines has been teaching them,

2001
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 2: they're exhibiting it each and every night. But on a

2002
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 2: nightly basis, he's going against the top teams, in the

2003
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 2: top players in the National Hockey League, in those top lines,

2004
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 2: and they are shutting them down. And that includes Maclin Celebrini,

2005
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 2: who a lot of people are calling the next Gretzky

2006
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 2: type player, which shut them down the last time that

2007
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 2: they played.

2008
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:19,480
Speaker 4: And here's the deal and which people need to understand,

2009
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 4: is that don't look at points, don't look at goals

2010
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 4: and assists, especially for your bottom six, because Minnesota wins

2011
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 4: because they follow the structure. And their structure is, you know,

2012
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 4: take care of your own end, you know, and and

2013
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 4: and make sure your check in, you're make sure you're

2014
01:37:38,800 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 4: doing everything right, don't cheat the game.

2015
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 2: And they don't cheat the.

2016
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 4: Game, and that's why they're winning. And the hence when

2017
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 4: you do. When you when you play the way Minnesota does,

2018
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 4: you're not gonna be this high offensive juggernaut.

2019
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 2: Of a team.

2020
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:56,560
Speaker 4: You're gonna be structured, you're gonna be you're gonna be

2021
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 4: tight your own end. Yet you're gonna have the ability

2022
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 4: with the offensive guys that they have to be creative

2023
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 4: in the offensive zone. And so don't get mad when

2024
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 4: Trent and doesn't have fifteen goals or Felino or Nico

2025
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 4: Sturm or you know guys like that, because they're doing

2026
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 4: their job and what.

2027
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 2: They're told to do, and they're playing within that.

2028
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 4: Now, they could go out there and say, well, I'm

2029
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 4: gonna take chances, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that,

2030
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 4: and lo and behold, the buck's gonna be in our

2031
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 4: net because they're not playing that that way.

2032
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:31,760
Speaker 2: They are playing that way right now, and guess what

2033
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 2: they're winning. Top guy in the NHL right now. McDavid

2034
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 2: or McKinnon, Who do you want, CAPRICEO. But if you

2035
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,240
Speaker 2: have to pick between those two guys, I'm just curious

2036
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,560
Speaker 2: because everyone tells me McDavid's the number one guy in

2037
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 2: the National Hockey League, And for my money, I'd take

2038
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 2: Nathan McKinnon. And I love Connor McDade. There's not a

2039
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:54,560
Speaker 2: wrong answer, but I'm telling you this guy is an

2040
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 2: a hole.

2041
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:56,720
Speaker 3: I can say he use an a hole. I mean

2042
01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:57,800
Speaker 3: the way he plays the game.

2043
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 2: This guy is rough, he's top, he's multifaceted, he's incredibly talented,

2044
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:04,960
Speaker 2: and he's got a bird in his saddle.

2045
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 3: I think he'd be your type of player.

2046
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know why because he doesn't care if he's

2047
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:10,720
Speaker 4: got a friend on the other team, He's going to

2048
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 4: go right through.

2049
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 3: Him and he will throttle it.

2050
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 4: And I think if mccarr was on the on Edmonton, uh,

2051
01:39:22,760 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 4: him and McDavid together would be If mccarr was on

2052
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 4: mccarr was on Edmonton and him and McDavid were teammates,

2053
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 4: I think that makes a huge difference to I think,

2054
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:39,560
Speaker 4: you know, like McKinnon and mccarr.

2055
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 2: You know, who do what do you cover?

2056
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:43,600
Speaker 7: You know?

2057
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,639
Speaker 2: I mean just se see McCarry yesterday. I mean, my god,

2058
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:50,519
Speaker 2: he's phenomenal right, and so can so.

2059
01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, they're both, they're both, they're

2060
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:56,920
Speaker 4: one in one A. I don't know which. What are

2061
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 4: you taking? You're taking Brett?

2062
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, there is no wrong answer. No,

2063
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 5: But McKinnon's making a really good problem really this year. Yeah,

2064
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:09,639
Speaker 5: and guess what team Canada doesn't have to choose when

2065
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 5: it comes to the Olympics.

2066
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 2: They can just get boltimm Yeah, just sad. All right,

2083
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:10,639
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty easy, Patrick, Yes, I mean yeah,

01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 4: the NHL.

2091
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what the number is, but I don't

2092
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 2: know the number either. It can start list of a

2093
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 2: good number. Thirty start with yeah, favor, it's got to

2094
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:37,599

2095
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 2: favor on d that's pretty pretty good start there. Throw

2096
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,400
Speaker 2: out in during goal, Oh my god, right, yes, sir,

2097

2099
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 2: to you the part according to these rules he played

2100
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 2: at the University of.

2101
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:56,680
Speaker 5: Minnesota back rules. Yeah, if they played college here. But

2102
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 5: if we're just going Minnesotan's would be harder. But you

2103
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:00,720
Speaker 5: could still do it.

2104
01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:02,880
Speaker 2: Could do it. He could still do it.

2105
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:04,760
Speaker 3: Of course you could do it. Yeah, I mean yeah,

2106
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 3: you could definitely do that.

2107
01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 2: By the way, we were talking about brock Favor, you

2108
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 2: would put him on your blue line along with Jackson Leacolm.

2109
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 2: Is that what who you said?

2110
01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:13,559
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2111
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 4: I think you should make the Olympic team too. How

2112
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:15,640
Speaker 4: about that?

2113
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 2: So Connor from SLP text in at the text line

2114
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 2: six four, six eighty six about brock Faber called himself

2115
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 2: out in the month of October.

2116
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:25,519
Speaker 3: Has been on a heater ever since.

2117
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 2: Not only has he been playing great, Connor from SLP

2118
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 2: says next captain material, I don't think there's any right, Yeah,

2119
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:33,840
Speaker 2: how good has he been?

2120
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:34,160
Speaker 15: Yeah?

2121
01:42:34,520 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 4: And here's the thing about brock Favor. You know I

2122
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 4: covered him in his three years at the university. He

2123
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 4: is not afraid to say, guess what, I played bad tonight,

2124
01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:50,360
Speaker 4: you know, And I'm gonna get better, and I'm gonna

2125
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:50,840
Speaker 4: get better.

2126
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 3: And he wasn't good in October, but he's been fantastic since.

2127
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 13: Yeah.

2128
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he wasn't bad. He wasn't brock Favor

2129
01:42:58,560 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 2: in October. No, but he wasn't.

2130
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 4: But he that's what he you know, that's him.

2131
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 2: He's been great ever since.

2132
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 4: It's been great.

2133
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:08,600
Speaker 2: And so the Blue Line as it's currently constructed, you

2134
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 2: got Spurgeon and you got brodein.

2135
01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 3: You guys, I'm worried which part are you worried about?

2136
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 2: Depth wise? I am to be, you know, I am.

2137
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 8: You know.

2138
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,560
Speaker 4: I wish I'd like to see them fortify that a

2139
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 4: little bit. Get a veteran in, you know, just just

2140
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,759
Speaker 4: to you know, cover your tracks.

2141
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,480
Speaker 2: The question you're going to have is about the durability

2142
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 2: of your blue line, right, especially when you're talking about

2143
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 2: exactly and that's that's going to be the million dollar

2144
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,320
Speaker 2: question because when they're out there, they are difference makers.

2145
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 2: They don't stick out like a Coroka Presoft or a

2146
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 2: Matt Bowley up front, but that's.

2147
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 4: How important they are.

2148
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:49,879
Speaker 3: Ye, they're not supposed to say defensively.

2149
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 2: Now, early in the year they had them broken up

2150
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 2: and they were paired with the young guys. But since

2151
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 2: they got back to their regular pairings and putting them

2152
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 2: with Faber and Middleton rather than Boom and You're a check,

2153
01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 2: it feels like those guys have gotten back to their roots.

2154
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:05,160

Speaker 2: You know, bigger.

2159
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 3: Bagosian doesn't do that for you. I am he's not flashy,

2160
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:24,599
Speaker 3: but I like Bagosian.

2161
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:25,759
Speaker 2: I know I'm tepid.

2162
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:28,360
Speaker 4: I'm tepid, you know ages getting up there.

2163
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not going to play in your top four

2164
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 2: and he's going to play a limited minutes. He's gonna

2165
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 2: kill penalties and he can be, you know, kind of

2166
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 2: a physical presence.

2167
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,679
Speaker 4: Listen, right now, I'm not ripping any I'm not ripping anybody,

2168
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 4: but but I'm tepid. Okay, Okay, that's you know, I'd

2169
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:46,679
Speaker 4: still like to add another guy, just to have another guy,

2170
01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:50,320
Speaker 4: just to have another guy that would that would really

2171
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 4: make me feel comfortable with that decour I do.

2172
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 2: Have to you know, we've gone two and a half

2173
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 2: hours almost and we really haven't talked about the state

2174
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 2: of your golden gop for a hockey team. They're on

2175
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 2: the ice coming up later on tonight at ball Arena,

2176
01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 2: the US Hockey Hall of Fame game, taking on the

2177
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 2: du Pioneers. Obviously, that's gonna be a tough matchup. It's

2178
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 2: been a tough start to the season for Bob Mosko's crew.

2179
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 2: They're on the UFN campus.

2180
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,800
Speaker 3: So what's the state of your golden golfer team?

2181
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 4: Well, when you lose forty percent of your scoring, the

2182
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 4: last four of your four of the top five scores

2183
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 4: from last year, who could all be in the lineup?

2184
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:26,560
Speaker 4: All five could be in the lineup. Connor Kurth is

2185
01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 4: in Syracuse the other four are in the National Hockey League.

2186
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:33,600
Speaker 2: I believe me.

2187
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 8: I get it.

2188
01:45:34,400 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 2: So you have two choices.

2189
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:42,000
Speaker 4: You allow the guys that you recruited to come in,

2190
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 4: or you go to the transfer portal and you get

2191
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:50,599
Speaker 4: some older guys and you bring them in. Bob opted

2192
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,360
Speaker 4: to bring in the young guys. Five of the twelve

2193
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:59,760
Speaker 4: forwards in your lineup are freshmen. They're having a hard

2194
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 4: time scoring goals as a team. They have thirteen goals

2195
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:11,759
Speaker 4: for fourteen against in league play. So are they good players?

2196
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 4: One hundred percent they're good players. Javon Moore six four,

2197
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 4: two hundred and ten pounds is going to be a

2198
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 4: beast and he'll have a long career in the National

2199
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:22,040
Speaker 4: Hockey League.

2200
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 2: For one.

2201
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 4: They you have to look at it and see where

2202
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:30,519
Speaker 4: this team is in January, in February, February, and see

2203
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 4: the growth and understand See these guys don't understand it

2204
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:36,600
Speaker 4: how we got to play to win and what it

2205
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:37,280
Speaker 4: takes to win.

2206
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 2: And so.

2207
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 4: They're young in that capacity mentality wise. We'll see how

2208
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 4: it is, you know, we'll see how it is. But

2209
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 4: they've played better as of late.

2210
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 8: Uh, you know.

2211
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 4: They they split with Penn State, who quite frankly as

2212
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 4: a really good chance of going the Frozen four again.

2213
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:00,400
Speaker 2: You know they they do, they're they're a heck of

2214
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 2: a hockey team. So good test tonight too. I'm axesouted

2215
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:08,559
