Speaker 3: YAA, But he, how's YadA doing? How is he processing

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: the Kyler Murray experiment? Is he on board? Probably? Yeah,

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm guessing, just wondering. He kafan text line? What's that?

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 4: I can't remember what it was, but I've heard him

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 4: say it a couple of times. I don't know if

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 4: it's Kyler conundrum, it's Kyler something Nordo. If you're listening,

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 4: you could sweet at me. I can't remember exactly what

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: it was. Anthony Edwards in or out? It was out

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 4: for a while. He's in. I'm told a great video

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: with former president watching. It's very well done.

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: Is it good? It's nice?

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: Uh?

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 4: My wife out of nowhere last night turned on Court

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 4: of Gold. I think it's called I don't even know that.

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: It's the Netflix dock about the Olympics in twenty twenty four. Okay,

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 4: I've seen it. I've not seen it, but you know

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 4: she loves stuff Curry and now she loves Aunt. And

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: but the scene where where Aunt tells a president to stand.

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: Down, Yeah, that's the best. It's just so funny.

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's some of that in this Yes, I'm sure, yeah,

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 4: because I know that they followed up on that. But

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: unfortunately Anthony Edwards must stand down for one to two weeks.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: We got the release today Anthony Edwards Injury Update MRI

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 4: conducted by doctor Craig Bennett at Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 4: on Edwards revealed right knee inflammation. He will be reevaluated

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: in one to two weeks and further updates of his

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 4: progress will be provided when available. So we knew last night,

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: right around this time that he was going to be

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: out in the play end of the play in matchup

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: against the Phoenix Suns tonight. The Wolves are two games

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: ahead of the Suns in the final regular playoff spot.

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: The Suns are in the first play in spot number seven.

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: It's a seven o'clock tip at Target Center. You can

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: hear it in the Timberwolves channel of your iHeartRadio app.

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: Nas.

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: Reed expected to go. He's had the shoulder deal that

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: he reaggravated in Oklahoma City. But now I should be fine.

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: Who's starting tonight? I don't know, do we know? I

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: just texted that Johnny. Will it be my guy Disumu

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 4: or do we like the idea of keeping him with

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: that second unit?

48
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's the quest. It's got to be.

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's got to be another guard, right, I mean, yeah,

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: is Condy a possibility? Is that a possibility that he's

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: been pretty much on ice since coming back here? Correct? Yeah,

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: but that's all the turnover issues. The betting money is

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: it'll be Disumo, but we'll see, which will be in

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: of itself rather interesting. Now again, what I want to

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: see is Desumu play with Edwards in the starting backcourt.

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: That's to me, here's what you're looking for, right If

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: you're the Wolves and you're you're kind of stumbling around

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 3: right now, you're looking for something that might sort of

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: change the conversation a bit, and sometimes it's a symbol.

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: It's a single move. Now, there may not be any

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: one move that the Wolves can make that could matter

62
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: at this point to that degree, but you try it.

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: I would try it, even though I know we love

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: the way the Vincenzo has played, and he likes he

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: takes apparently some pride in starting. Yeah, I just think

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: we've got to be past that at some point. Well,

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: what's the conversation about. Finch always says that he said

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: it when they came back from the break. He's about winning.

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: Everybody's got to take whatever role they are given. Why

70
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: to have lost a couple in a row. They're back

71
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: in action tonight on the road in Chicago. It's Saint

72
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: Patrick's day. The fan has learned Lori Fisher figured that

73
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: the team would be on one of those boats in

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: the Chicago River before the game. I don't know.

75
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: Can you can't really take one of those boats down

76
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: to Chicago Stadium to the United Center. No, not usually.

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: But they start the night six points behind the Dallas

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: Star for the second spot in the Central Division. It

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: is the gust bus in net tonight. Juwel Ericson Eck

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: is out. He is day today with a lower body injury.

81
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: Russo furthering that story a little while ago, saying that

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: Eki is likely missing at least three games. According to Enough,

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: said co star Bill Garan. You can hear that game

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: right here on the fan. We are out at six fifteen,

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: because that game starts a little bit early.

86
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: By the way, Guardie's conscience is checked in to also

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: remind us that Nick Felino is returning to Chicago. Oh

88
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: Treth Wilde are seventeen zero and one in their last

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: eighteen games against the Chicago Blackhawks.

90
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: Well, to my conscience, I'd say, let's make sure we're

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: adding to the right side of that total tonight. I mean,

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: you're setting it up right now for there to be

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: even a bigger alarm fire if we lose tonight, right,

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 4: that would.

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 3: Be yeah, h we throw that into problem that out. Yeah. Yeah,

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: they don't play well tonight, Yeah, not gonna work.

97
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Well?

98
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: Then is heinze on? Is he on a watch list? Maybe?

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm just asking. I don't know.

100
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: It's a fair question, kind of late. Yeah, who do

101
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 4: you have?

102
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: Coach? The latest is that a coach has ever been fired?

103
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: Not you know, yeah, right, literally fired before the end

104
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: of a season. I'm sure. I'm sure it's happened a

105
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: few times. Yes, more than we'd like to think. I'm sure.

106
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 4: Well didn't Micha Malone just got fired?

107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: Was it last year or two years ago? Like right

108
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: before the playoffs? Last year. True, Yeah, it was like

109
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: right around this time. And the reason given there allegedly

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: was the bad the the the Acarni between him and

111
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: the GM. Right, that was a lot of it that

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: no one's getting along. Correct.

113
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 4: We should have had to break so we stay on schedule.

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: We should mention real quick though. University of Minnesota. Yeah, Bradford,

115
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: we'men hockey coach fired nineteen years.

116
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: Nineteen years. How many titles did we win?

117
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: Four?

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: I think right? Yep, he is out. We were twenty six,

119
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: twelve and one this year lost to Northeastern in the

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: NCAA quarter finals on by score four to two. So

121
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: Mark Coyle makes that announce we are looking for new

122
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: hockey coach, and the betting money is we're supposed to

123
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: get the Ohio State coach's alum.

124
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's that's the theory. Brad Frost, I'll say

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 4: top three all time.

126
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: Dude. He's been on the show a number of times. Absolutely.

127
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: I check him with him every couple of you know,

128
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: every six months or so for podcast up like as

129
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 4: good a guy as you can possibly have.

130
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: The reminder is nineteen years, you know, yeah, exactly as that.

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: No one's ever immune, no matter how high to the

132
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: mountaintop you get to, if you don't do it recent enough,

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 3: or you're viewed as being in a different place, for

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: better or for worse. And I'm not going to pretend

135
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: to know exactly all the ins and outs of the program,

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: then you're still going to be vulnerable. And so we

137
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: now are looking for a women's hockey coach. All right,

138
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: let's try to stay somewhat on schedule. Don't forget Louis.

139
00:06:48,560 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: In about fifteen minutes, did you happen to see the

140
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: quarterback to wide receiver style pass from Caitlin Clark to

141
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: Page Beckers for a touchdown? Today?

142
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 5: No?

143
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: Heay, moments ago. This is World Cup qualifying USA versus

144
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: La Roja Espana. USA is up sixty six fifty two,

145
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: comfortably ahead and with about seven minutes to go in

146
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: the final period. But yeah, I was much earlier. Just

147
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: a Clark rebound flick of the wrist, yeah, right in

148
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: stride to Becker's for an easy lay up ahead of

149
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: the crowd, quick follow up.

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: Did either of them or both of them stop after

151
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: that play to thank those that came before them?

152
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: Not that I could see. I didn't have a sound

153
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: turn up that's not very nicel. It doesn't seem to

154
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: be very grateful at at all.

155
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 4: They were the combo, is it, the top two or

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: two of the top three recruits of that recruiting class.

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: You know, Gino got all the heat a couple of

158
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: years ago, right, Clark wanted to go to Yukon like everybody,

159
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: or at least was interested in right, and Gino never

160
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: really recruited her. And so two years ago and it's like,

161
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: what's wrong with Geno? It's well, there was a girl

162
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: named Page Becker's who was pretty damn good. They could

163
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: have played together. Maybe they could have, but she'd been

164
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: injured for a couple of years. It was like out

165
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: of side, out of mind. So that's the cool part

166
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: is that Becker's now back healthy, obviously won the national

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: title a year ago, and now she's back on that

168
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: path that everyone had for It's great to see those

169
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: two playing together.

170
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's a blast for them. It looks like

171
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: it's a lot of a lot of fun, that's for sure.

172
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: Sick of these flurries, vision is blurry love, Kyler, Murray,

173
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: Wolves and five. By the way, Speaking of Kyler, I

174
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: sent to you yesterday and I never mentioned it. I

175
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 3: sent you to some video an audio. I guess it

176
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: would be for radio purposes, kind of a mashup of

177
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray onions. Did you ever get it? Did you

178
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: vet it? Because I don't think anybody swore on it,

179
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 3: but I can't share to that. I didn't listened. To

180
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 3: keep it in mind. The reason I sent it to

181
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: you was to prove that I have no problem with

182
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: positivity on Kyler Murray. All opinions are welcome here. I

183
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: just want it all included, and we'll play it maybe

184
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: later today, once you vet it, or even tomorrow, because

185
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: it's a number of people, some well known, some not

186
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: so much praising the Vikings move. I have no difficulty

187
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: with that, and his proof will play that a little

188
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: bit later in the broadcast. See this is what's unnecessary.

189
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: Is Clark available to play for the Vikings at quarterback.

190
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: She's got to be taller than Kyler and she doesn't

191
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: have any interest in video games. Lazy narratives. There you

192
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: go again with these lazy narratives. Thank god, we're going

193
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: to have the local jackals here. Are gonna shatter all

194
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 3: those stereo types. They were made up. Nothing to them

195
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 3: That's why it was available, because there's nothing to them.

196
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: Loure Goose is at it again to need it? I

197
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 3: did see this video? Yeah, how is a kickback not fraud?

198
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: A new audit found that Minnesota's DHS would not investigate

199
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: allegations of kickbacks in welfare programs, wrongly believing it was

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: not authorized to do so. The cases did not get

201
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: referred to law enforcement either. Is it ever going to end? Seriously,

202
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: the revelations coming out of our culture of fraud, culture

203
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: of fraud, they just keep coming. And in this case

204
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: again from a reporter, I trust. How is a kickback

205
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: not fraud? A new audit finds that Minnesota's DHS would

206
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: not investigate allegations of kickbacks in welfare programs, wrongly believing

207
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: it was not authorized to do so, and yet the

208
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: cases didn't get referred to law enforcement either. It's just

209
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: I don't think it's ever gonna end. I really don't.

210
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: I think it's going to go on and on and on.

211
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: I have one other unrelated. All these items are kind

212
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: of I guess you could say, unrelated. Let me scroll

213
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: down and find it. Keep going and going and going.

214
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: Here it is. Here's your headline President Trump warns NATO

215
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: faces quote very bad future if allies fail to help

216
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: us in Iran. This is like, for a couple days

217
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: ago Dominous, to which a guy named Michael Weiss writes, Hmmm,

218
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: after a year of threatening to go to war with

219
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: one NATO ally, a borish campaign to treat another ally

220
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: as a colony of the u US, and the denigration

221
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: of all who fought and died for America and Afghanistan,

222
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: he has the gall to say this, It's astounding. How

223
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: does that make, even in Trump world any sense? I

224
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: know A lot of the the the the the Trumpers

225
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: got off on the way he would challenge our allies.

226
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: They're not doing their their fair share. We mock them,

227
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: we ridicule them, we even threatened them. But is it

228
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: logical to think that if that's your decision, because you

229
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: call them as you see them, that at the other

230
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: end of that, they're gonna go, what do you need?

231
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: What can we do for you now? After you mock us,

232
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: you ridicule us, you challenge us, you threaten.

233
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: To invade us.

234
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: It's it's astounding. And by the way, the update today

235
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: is in true childlike fashion, it's we don't need you

236
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: Europe closer to your We don't need you. We never

237
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: needed you, even though I just threatened you two days ago.

238
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 3: We didn't need you. We don't need you now. We'll

239
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: do all of it on our own. You know why,

240
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: because we're the most powerful nation in the world and

241
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: we don't need to mess with any of you. That's

242
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: today now, that could change again tomorrow. I I just

243
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: don't know. Bratch on Brian Cafean text line is open

244
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: at six four six eight six six four six eight six.

245
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: How about Luigi? How about Luigi? You got questions for him?

246
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: We'll check in. I mean, people know how to find us.

247
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: As we said six four six eighty six. As I

248
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: just mentioned, is he worried about the current condition of

249
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: your favorite hockey team? Not exactly sure, but we'll find out.

250
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Na Welsie sneaks about the world.

251
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: Ye ride, No, Nanny ain't here. It is snowing yet again.

252
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it's supposed to be measurable snow today.

253
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: But.

254
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: The fact that we can even look in the air

255
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: and see it swirling around after our most recent snow

256
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: Nomi is enough for pretty much everybody. Louis joins us

257
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: via the Connecticot Water Systems Hotline brought to you by

258
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: as always are good friends at Camps Louis.

259
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 5: How are you very well? Thank you for going the

260
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 5: last cool front of the year. It was only sixty

261
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: seven today.

262
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: Sixty seven you say, shouldn't.

263
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: Last too long, but it's.

264
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: Not warm Arizona one hundred degrees. Yeah, how about that

265
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: a little early for that, is it?

266
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, I'm glad they're getting it out because I've

267
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: got to go there in two weeks. I don't want Yeah, I.

268
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: Understand even if it is a dry heat doesn't really matter.

269
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: I'll put my head in an oven that's dry too.

270
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: That's yeah. They're not not not advised, that's for sure.

271
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Uh man. The texts are pouring in. The Wolves and

272
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: Wild have both lost four of their last five. The

273
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: Wild loss the last three at home to non playoff teams,

274
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: so we're all trying to get a handle on it.

275
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: The head coach, who kind of went scorched earth the

276
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: previous loss, seemed to get a little more philosophical after

277
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: the most recent loss, I think, which was to Toronto. Meanwhile,

278
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: Garren is ratcheting it up. Got to get it going.

279
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: No excuse for what's going on right now, et cetera,

280
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: et cetera. So where are you on the panic scale

281
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: regarding the recent slump of your favorite hockey team.

282
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm far from panicking. I want to see the

283
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 5: goldening tighten up there. Yeah, that's fair, that's the first thing.

284
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 5: But more than that, I think that I'm feeling good

285
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: about it because teams go through a soft spot. They

286
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 5: haven't had one for a while, and I'm feeling pretty

287
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: good about it that they got one now and get

288
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: it out of the way. They got room, you know

289
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 5: that they don't have to worry about falling down. I really,

290
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 5: you know. I know it's going to be hard to

291
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: catch Dallas. Colorado's gone, but I don't mind it because

292
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: I want them to play Dallas, and I want to

293
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: be playing Dallas when they're playing better, and I think

294
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 5: that they'll get the game back. And I think we

295
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 5: forget that they had eight people in the Olympic teams,

296
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: and not only the for you, but the number of

297
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 5: games that travel. Everything goes in when you when you

298
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 5: look at some of the players that have played there,

299
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 5: they they look they're just down a sharp, They're a

300
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 5: little bit a little off their game. A bit, and

301
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 5: I think it's because they're a little tired. And now

302
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 5: you get back, you get back in the year Rich

303
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 5: we'll hear and with the clock everything else. I'm not

304
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 5: concerned about it at all. I really, I really feel

305
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 5: it's okay to have that little slump because I saw

306
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: enough in those three games where they had lost, where

307
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 5: they had a bad period in every game where they

308
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 5: could get rid of that, and when they were playing good,

309
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 5: they really were good.

310
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 3: Marcus from You're gonna have to talk a lot of

311
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: people off the ledge because the text are coming in

312
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: Marcus from Aloha Rights. Are we worried about the power play?

313
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: Have great skilled players that all our left hand and

314
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: makes the power play a little one dimensional?

315
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not worried about the power play. I'm more

316
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: worried about the pretty plays that they're making, not only

317
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 5: in the power play but all across. I mean, I

318
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 5: literally came out of my seat here. The last two

319
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 5: games were guys that overpassed when they got perfect shots,

320
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: and we're not scoring goals and we're looking for the

321
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 5: wide open that the pass across the seam on the

322
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 5: power play, on the three and two rushes, et cetera.

323
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 5: And I just want them to get the shoot person

324
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: mentality and get rid of that pass first mentality, because

325
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 5: you've had a good a chance by scoring yourself, then

326
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 5: secondly you've got a rebound chance, and third a couple

327
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 5: of times the pass across is so bad it turn

328
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 5: into outnumbered breaks going the other way, you know, turnovers

329
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: and gone. I'm just they're not as sharp in moving

330
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 5: the part passing wise as he were before h the Olympics,

331
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: and I think that's the game they got to get

332
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 5: back to. And I think they'll get back to that

333
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: if they don't try and force passes as much as

334
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 5: they're doing right now.

335
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 3: Where does Bobby Brink fit into this whole thing, Because

336
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: we spent a lot of time on the high school

337
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: hockey tournament when we had you last week, and not

338
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: so much on some of the moves made right at

339
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 3: the deadline. What are your impressions of him? Where do

340
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: you think he fits in the rest of the season,

341
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: into the postseason.

342
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 5: Well, it probably fit in more in a third line,

343
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 5: but he has got he's really creative with the park.

344
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 5: He's got excellent hands, really good vision, and he's got

345
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 5: the capability of scoring. He's had it from when he

346
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 5: was in high school and the UK program, Denver, et cetera,

347
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 5: all the way up. He's an extremely talented player. I

348
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 5: know he's not big, but a lot of good players

349
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 5: aren't big, and he's got he's got skill that could

350
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 5: add to the skill level they need essentially your third

351
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 5: and fourth line when he's not on there. He got

352
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 5: year off that's got some skill and Tarasenko. So if

353
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 5: you had a guy like him on the right side

354
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 5: to play in the dead line if it's a playoff push,

355
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 5: and especially the playoff games aren't gonna take him out

356
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: of the game because they're so physical, that could be

357
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: a It could be a talented offensive line because he

358
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 5: sees the io well and he moves apart while I

359
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 5: think that that was a real good pickup by them

360
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 5: to get him and give you more depth in the

361
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 5: scoring side than they had before in the puck moving side.

362
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: So you restrengthen yourself with some of the big boys

363
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 5: they picked up, so they they can look at the

364
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 5: games and see how the playoff games they're going and

365
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 5: see what they need, because they can play it any

366
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 5: way you want, and they can turn the lineup into

367
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 5: a very physical one or maybe a more productive one

368
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 5: depending on how their goaltending's playing, how the defensive movie

369
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 5: to puck, and what they've seen in the playoff game.

370
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 5: So it was a good addition to that team.

371
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: Como park garage guy. In light of the Frost firing,

372
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: I've received numerous text and feedback that you fired the

373
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 3: wrong coach. Can you ask Louis about Moscow's status as

374
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: the fan base is getting very restless. You've heard this before,

375
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: but it's it's definitely firing up now.

376
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: Well, I think if if you look at the difference

377
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 5: in the two for US has been there longer, and

378
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 5: I think it's probably seven eight years since they won

379
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: a championship. The Gophers had a bad year, and I

380
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: really believe you know, I don't know anything. I'm not

381
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 5: saying this from first hand knowledge, but I think Bob's

382
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 5: probably looking at it, maybe working this year Moscow and

383
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: then retiring because he's sixty five, and I know from

384
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 5: years back when I talked to him, he was talking

385
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 5: about when he probably want to retire, and I think

386
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 5: he's he wouldn't want to go out with the kind

387
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: of team he had last year. I think he's looking

388
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 5: to rely improve that team, and then I wouldn't doubt

389
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 5: if you retire and he's had a really good run.

390
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 5: And to put him in the same case, you know

391
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 5: one year, you just they had one down year. Yes,

392
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 5: they didn't win the National Championship, but they the n

393
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 5: c W playoffs a lot, and he got to the

394
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 5: final four and lost and overtime. But they've they've had

395
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 5: a pretty good run on there.

396
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: Do you exp but so do you expect them to

397
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 3: rebound next year? And to wait how much he'll.

398
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 5: Be much better one even though they're losing a couple

399
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: of key players, but they were so young this year.

400
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: And I do believe he's he's going out and trying

401
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 5: to add some not only talented guys, but more mature

402
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 5: guys to that lineup, and that's that's what he needs.

403
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: And uh, I expect them to be much better.

404
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 3: Another by a lot of questions, Uh, does Louis feel

405
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: that the roster changes the trade deadline are going to

406
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: take some time for anyone to readjust who they're playing

407
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: with and maybe, uh, where they lost our guys that

408
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: we sent out. I think that might have been a

409
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: dictated text. I don't know if I completely understand it,

410
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: but you get the point of it. I guess he's

411
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: trying to be more patient to say, does it take

412
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: a minute when you make some of the changes that

413
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 3: the team has made.

414
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: I don't think it takes that long. Guys are talented

415
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: enough that you know, you adjust the people much more

416
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: quickly than people expect you to. They they're used to

417
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 5: playing at the top level. They can anticipate, and guys

418
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 5: get really aware of people's tendencies when they're skating with

419
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 5: them every day in practice and games, and they pick

420
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 5: it up pretty quickly. I just think that it's what

421
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 5: we're talking about. Before you're in a you're in a

422
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 5: lull coming back, which we talked about before they won

423
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 5: in the Olympics. I said, I hate to see it

424
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 5: because they're playing so good, and teams come back after that,

425
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 5: and they've got so many players in there, it's going

426
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 5: to take a toll on their conditioning. They're they're going

427
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: to play a lot of games in a short time.

428
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 5: Are they going to be able to adjust straight away?

429
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 5: Plus adding the new guys. I just think what I've

430
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 5: seen from two periods of the last three games of

431
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 5: each game, I'm very very comfortable with it. I'm not.

432
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 5: I have no concerns right now except I want to

433
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 5: make sure the goal that he's sharp enough.

434
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's that probably is should be at

435
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: the top of the list, right.

436
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, And Gus did have a couple of good games

437
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 5: in there, so I mean, I'm very confident that Gus

438
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: is going to bounce back because he's done it. The

439
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 5: you know, he's kind of personality. He doesn't get affected

440
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 5: by a bad goal like some people would are even

441
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: a bad game. He's very, very even keeled. I've talked

442
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 5: to him a lot. I've watched him, like when I'm

443
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 5: going to be doing the game next week in Boston,

444
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 5: when I travel with him and I sit essentially two

445
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: rolls away from when he's playing cards watching him, and

446
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 5: I really like his personality for handling pressure. I think

447
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 5: the guy's uh, he's the guy that's got a lot

448
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 5: of confidence in his ability and he doesn't let things

449
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 5: rattle him.

450
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: Do you despise the playoff format?

451
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 5: I don't despise it. I don't. I don't like it.

452
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 5: I know why they do it because it's so fact.

453
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: It really came around from from Bill wurtz Is thinking

454
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 5: years ago that the more we played each other in

455
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: a division. The bigger the rivalry, the easier it is

456
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 5: to sell tickets, and that's where it comes from. But

457
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: when it gets to a situation like this, when you

458
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 5: know you're you're getting such a difference in the teams

459
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 5: that are playing each other in the playoffs point wise,

460
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 5: that it really doesn't make sense because that when they

461
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 5: first came around, there was a bigger dispairity in a

462
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 5: number of games you played in each division against the

463
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 5: other division. Now it's gotten closer, so the conference itself

464
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 5: plays more games against each other than they used to,

465
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 5: so that the really point differential isn't as it shouldn't

466
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 5: be as big as it was in the past, because

467
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: if you had weak teams in one division and you know,

468
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: somebody's getting in with really weak points, they were really

469
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: just getting hammered by the other divisions that they're playing.

470
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 5: Now that they're playing each other more, that's more equal.

471
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 5: And he really shouldn't have two top three top teams

472
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: like Colorado, Dallas and Minnesota having to play in two

473
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 5: of those teams that are going to play each other,

474
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 5: and you know, essentially two of them are going to

475
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 5: be out in the second round, So it's tough.

476
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: Three to one nine guy. Was there a reason no

477
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: one stood up for Capriso the past couple of games.

478
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: Seems like there were some liberties taken on him with

479
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: no repercussions. Are they going to need to stand up

480
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: more when the playoffs come? Or are all as well

481
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: just as just as a regular season game. That's from

482
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: Cornelia's guy.

483
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think that that's true, because wild guys

484
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 5: will stand up for anybody. But if you look at it,

485
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 5: the one thing when he got in a big skirm

486
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: he punched the guy in the face. First, there wasn't

487
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 5: somebody stand up for him. He the net name and

488
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 5: he give him a right hand. I said, goodness, you know,

489
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 5: you know guys a lot bigger, the guy is still

490
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 5: going to react even though smaller than him. And then

491
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 5: it jumped into a big skirmish. But one thing about Carella,

492
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 5: he doesn't he doesn't stay out of it and he

493
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: doesn't back down, just like Grella. If you if you

494
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 5: watch Guarola what he was doing to Carlo there, you know,

495
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: a bad cross check and Grella game two back and

496
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 5: then that's what and then the guy came a guy

497
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 5: Garola's side came from the side went to jump in

498
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 5: on him, and everybody jumped into You don't have to

499
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: have any problems. When you got Filinos to Filinos now,

500
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 5: and you got mcaaren and you got Middleton, they got

501
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 5: they got plenty of guys that will respond. That doesn't

502
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 5: concern me at all. And you know Magos wasn't in

503
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 5: the lineup either, so they got enough guys that those

504
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: guys sent up for one of the looking Brock favored

505
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 5: Brock did. He jumped a pretty tough guy after you know,

506
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: a couple of teams going he got in that fight

507
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: when one of his teammates got laid out pretty good. No,

508
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: they don't have that problem. I guarantee it. The Wild

509
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 5: will not have that problem at all.

510
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: You really get in the way of the narrative when

511
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: you remind people that he threw a punch. You know,

512
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: that's that's quite fit. What you're looking for is if

513
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: you can't, you know, just conveniently leave that out when

514
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 3: you're making that larger point, you'red percent right. We got

515
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: home and home with the Blackhawks, who we've dominated the

516
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 3: hell out of it. What was the stat fallus gave

517
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: us eighteen zero and one. They were seventeen zero and

518
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: one how does one explain that?

519
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 5: Well, I was explaining it for years. We never won

520
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: in Boston. Yeah, and there's a lot of teams that

521
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 5: that happens to. You get you're getting the run you

522
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 5: never you never seem to to get out of it.

523
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: But I got to tell you right now, Chicago's playing

524
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 5: better and and they've They've got a lot of young

525
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 5: talented kids in the line, one of which played the

526
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: U last year, Oliver Morse, who's had himself a good

527
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 5: rookie year. Are In Zille's also there in defense for

528
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 5: the Gopers. He was there last year as well. But

529
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: these guys late have been playing better and winning some

530
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 5: games and scaring a lot of good teams. So they're

531
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: not going to be cakewalks. I don't think. I hope

532
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 5: they are. I enjoy the game much more when when

533
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 5: I don't have to be concerned about it. But I

534
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: got to tell you, Chicago's got some talent up front.

535
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 5: They can score goals.

536
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: There was another text about perform this is actually not

537
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: related to hockey. Debbie from Lakefield checking in reminding us, well,

538
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: I'll just read you the text. I was wondering if

539
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 3: Louis has an amazing meatball recipe, like Bill Garon claims

540
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 3: he does.

541
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: I don't, but my wife does and my son law.

542
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 5: You know what there you do, I do get good meatball,

543
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 5: believe me. Ye, we had a good role last night

544
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 5: with Russo and did free so the writers are here

545
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: for the GM's immediately. Yeah, we went to a great

546
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 5: Italian restaurant last night. They were just raving about the food.

547
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 5: Did you pick up good meat ball? Did you pick

548
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 5: up to dry?

549
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's the key, you're right, did you pick up?

550
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: Did you pick up the check?

551
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 5: Not last night a past but we we all shared.

552
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: Did Yeah, that's disappointed. I thought you always picked up

553
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 3: the check. That's your reput Yes, that's unlike Mason. That's

554
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: your reputation. Yeah, you probably do. That's that's that's that's

555
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: that's absolutely very very fair point another Well again, I

556
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: I guess maybe this is shows how invested people are.

557
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: But now the talk is One of the other texts

558
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: was basically that we're since now we've got we've added talent,

559
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: maybe at the expense of a good team. I don't

560
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: really think we've added that much talent when the trades

561
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: we made where you go, suddenly, we don't have pieces

562
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: that fit together, do we.

563
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 5: In fact, it's exact, we added the type of player

564
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 5: that they needed to fill some gaps that they wanted.

565
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 5: They as you said, they haven't added a real skilled player,

566
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 5: with the exception of briefs got fairly good skills. But

567
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: I'm talking about like a first line center or even

568
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 5: a second line center. You know, we are a big

569
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 5: goal scorer we have that hasn't been added. But we've

570
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: added pieces that could fit in and and and a

571
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 5: lot of its depth, you know, because if you if

572
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 5: you get fortunate enough to go four rounds in the

573
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 5: stand a coupleoffs, it's really physical and and you could

574
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 5: expect that you could have injuries and a lot of

575
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 5: teams to so you got some depth that they didn't

576
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 5: have before. The depth they had before was marginal. Now

577
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 5: the depth they've got our quality players, players that could play.

578
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 5: And so they're a much deeper team than they want.

579
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 5: Not that they're much more skilled, but they certainly are

580
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 5: much deeper all around and more solid physically. And i'd

581
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 5: have to see check and wise, you know. And I

582
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 5: do think that they're feeling really good about themselves right

583
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 5: now as much as as Bill sounds concerned, Bill, I

584
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 5: think you're just thinking, just get back to playing our

585
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 5: game consistently played all sixty minutes because he knows the

586
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 5: team is good enough to win.

587
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: Jake and maple Groves, what do you think the impact

588
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 3: of the multi day benchure of our TEAMSA team members

589
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: and media travel. For hughs he has had on the

590
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: play since the Olympic break. These guys are lead athletes,

591
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: but one night like those guys had would throw me

592
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: off for two months. That's Jason maple Grove.

593
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:03,239
Speaker 5: Well, I have to tell you, I really have to

594
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 5: tell you that when you when you go from seven

595
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 5: hour time zone change, they say it's you know, it's

596
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 5: an hour a week basically to get to get back

597
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 5: to where you were and and uh just on the

598
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 5: same body clock. So it takes a little while. Not

599
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 5: it doesn't take seven weeks, but it takes a long time.

600
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 5: It does take a couple of weeks too, three weeks.

601
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 5: And I think that they're they're just coming out of

602
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 5: it now. They're also traveling after they get back here

603
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 5: into different times, those back and forth and every second

604
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 5: day a game. When you put it all together, I'm

605
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 5: telling you. I looked at some of the mistakes that

606
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 5: are being made, and I really believe they're from being tired,

607
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 5: the guys not getting the rest and being a little tired.

608
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 5: But watch some of the little mistakes even as you

609
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 5: was made that he hadn't made. You you didn't see

610
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 5: any of those there or in the Olympics. But he'll

611
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 5: be out of that within within another three, four or

612
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 5: five days. But those little things are just a little

613
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 5: things being a big difference in the game. And and uh,

614
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 5: the fact that he took a pedalty in overtime, which

615
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 5: you've never ever seen him do. So the wild when

616
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 5: he lose that overtime game. For the five minutes they

617
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 5: spent your hand, that's true, good pointing to get an

618
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 5: opportunity to win the game. Yeah, those things aren't going

619
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 5: to happen later.

620
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they need a couple of victories here because the fans,

621
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 3: it's undah, they're ready to I mean, they're ready to

622
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 3: cut everybody and fire the coach and the general manager.

623
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 5: And by the way, that's what's funny.

624
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it doesn't take much. At least they're invested

625
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: speaking of the general manager, president, hockey operations, whatever fancy

626
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: title he has. I don't know if you even know this,

627
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: but he co hosted the entire Enough Said TV show

628
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: that Guardsy and I Do with Lori Fisher. We had

629
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: him in studio for the entire half hour. And this

630
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 3: won't surprise you at all, but I mean, he was brilliant.

631
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 3: He had he had a lot of fun with it

632
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: no matter what we talked about. We talked about some stuff,

633
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: sports stuff beyond on hockey, and uh, he was made

634
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 3: for it. He was all all in for it. So

635
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: if you ever returned to the state, maybe we'll try

636
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: to do that with you too.

637
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 5: Well. I would see if he could make dinner to

638
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: an intgo, but he already had planned because he's done

639
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 5: here too. But yeah, that would be fun. That would

640
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: do it. Yeah, And it surprises me because then he

641
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 5: go to Boston College.

642
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 3: I'll mention that the next time we see him. Yeah. Yeah,

643
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: it worked out very well. The funniest part was, you know,

644
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: the bit is Lori Fisher, once we're done or coming

645
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 3: close to the end of a segment, says Enough Said,

646
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 3: even when one of us is talking, that's the bit.

647
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: And he she said it in the middle of a

648
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: garn sentence and He literally stopped in the middle of

649
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: the sentence said, well, oh you mean that, I mean so,

650
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 3: I have to stop talking right now.

651
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 5: So to college.

652
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 3: It turned out very very good for sure. Oh real quick?

653
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 3: Have you are you interested in weighing in on the

654
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 3: big Vikings quarterback move. They've brought in a veteran free

655
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 3: agent named Kyler Murray from Arizona at a cheap price

656
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 3: because the Cardinals just are paying him like thirty six

657
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: million dollars to go away. And we said, okay, we'll

658
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: try it. Were you in favor of sticking with the

659
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 3: kid and letting him, you know, suffer a little bit

660
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: and learn the position, or are you all in on

661
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 3: adding a veteran presence to the mix.

662
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 5: Well, before I answer that, I'm going to tell you

663
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 5: you'd be interested to know that the Bomb Beach Post

664
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 5: yesterday picked the Vikings to in NFC north.

665
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: Is that right?

666
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 5: North? With that?

667
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 3: With that move? Interesting?

668
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: With that move? Yeah, And I actually liked it. I

669
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 5: know that he hasn't got the size of six trees

670
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 5: sixty four quarterback, but I've always enjoyed the fact that

671
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 5: he can run so well besides Pat so well, and

672
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 5: I do think that that was a good addition. It's

673
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 5: going to put him in a spot where I think

674
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 5: that they've had, you know, the two other quarterbacks played

675
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 5: last year didn't quite cut it to work. I think

676
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 5: this guy's going to go in the way and the

677
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 5: way Murray's had so much successful Hobkins as the receiver.

678
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: When you think him having Jefferson there, I think Jefferson's

679
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 5: probably having a few pops right now celebrating.

680
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 3: Well, he's due, man, He's got to be ready to

681
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: play with somebody who could throw him the ball because

682
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 3: he's got to be sooner or later thinking about my

683
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 3: you know, these are my peak years. You know, you

684
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 3: don't want to waste those, right, if you're a wide

685
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: receiver and there's no position I think in sports more

686
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: dependent on another guy at another spot. Right, wide receivers

687
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: can be great, but if they don't have a quarterback

688
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: and get them the ball, they're stuck. They're helpless.

689
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 5: Well, when you think he even got a thousand yards,

690
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 5: which made it six years that were all last year

691
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,959
Speaker 5: and McCarthy's you know, he's still got time to get

692
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 5: good and develop. But Jefferson being able to do that,

693
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 5: and they're really in tough condition. So let's be honest.

694
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 5: And now you get a guy that can really throw

695
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 5: the ball and will throw the ball to him and

696
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 5: I don't think it's afraid to throw the ball, just

697
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 5: throw it up and it's decity knowing that this guy's

698
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 5: going to come down with it a lot. I expect

699
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 5: Jefferson to have a huge year. I really do. I

700
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 5: think that that was a big move for the Vikings.

701
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 3: There is no such thing Louis any longer as downtime

702
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 3: regarding professional football. It's amazing. They haven't been playing football

703
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: in Minnesota or the Vikings at least for months, and

704
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. Every day they're the most reported on

705
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 3: it and people can't get enough. It's remarkable.

706
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 5: Well, I can understand it because I'm I'm into it

707
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 5: that much myself. I mean, I just absolutely love watching

708
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: football and and and some of these athletes that just

709
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 5: it's amazing to me. You know. I just think that

710
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 5: when you stop to think that the kind of viewership

711
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 5: they got, and a lot of it has been developed

712
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 5: because of gambling, no doubt. Don't ever kid yourself, because

713
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 5: I know a lot of people in our office that

714
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 5: didn't watch football. There were a number of women that

715
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 5: didn't know much about football as as much as they

716
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 5: know now, but they got into the gambling part of it,

717
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 5: and then pretty soon now they started watching football. Now

718
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 5: they love the game and and and I think that

719
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 5: the popularity sport just continues to just reach new heights

720
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 5: all the time. And now you on top of that,

721
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 5: they're developing Europe so much and not even talking about

722
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 5: the Far eastd devil they've been there. But their markets

723
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 5: are so big right now that you know, it's as

724
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 5: pronomical what they do. So that's why there's so much

725
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 5: interest in the game, because I mean, look at the

726
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, you get over one hundred million people or

727
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 5: something watching it. It's not quite where soccer as yet

728
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 5: worldwide for what ye but boy for the US and

729
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 5: North America, Canada, I mean, you know, even the Canadians.

730
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 5: You know why they haven't got a team in Toronto

731
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 5: because that would kill the Canadian Football League if you

732
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 5: take the if you take the in Toronto, Argonaunt, yeah,

733
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, the whole Now the only

734
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 5: way you could go to Toronto is if you say, okay,

735
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 5: we'll go to Toronto and admit that the Vancouver and

736
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 5: Montreal or something you have to put in four teams

737
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 5: because that would kill Canadian football because the Canadians watching

738
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 5: it all the time as well.

739
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 3: And coming soon a night before Thanksgiving Day game, Louis,

740
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 3: it's inevitable.

741
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 5: That's the that is unbelievable.

742
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 3: It's going to happen, right, and people will not complain,

743
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 3: They will not rebel it's too much football. Come on, No,

744
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 3: they'll love it. They'll revel in it.

745
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 5: No, they really didn't do football that much during the

746
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 5: week because they were trying to protect colleges. Yeah, in

747
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 5: high school, that was the story for years. You know right,

748
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 5: you're right. When I was with the North Starts, we

749
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 5: used to talk to football people about why aren't they

750
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 5: playing other days? And that's that was their story. But

751
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 5: now they forgot. They'll play every day.

752
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 3: Have a wonderful night. We appreciate the time as always,

753
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 3: and we will chat next week.
