Speaker 1: o'clock Central daylight time. Welcome Back, midweek edition, Wednesday, production

5
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: of the Bumper to Bumper program on a gorgeous, crisp

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: fall afternoon here in the twin cities of Minneapolis and

7
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Saint Paul. Is this our last week? By the way

8
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: of uh, we changed the clocks this weekend, don't we.

9
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

10
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 3: And I didn't know that until about three hours ago. Okay,

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: I heard it listening.

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: It's usually right after Halloween, and Halloween's Friday, right FIRSTUS Friday.

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: So this is the weekend we go back to standard time,

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: and we have the big debate this weekend. But the

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: doctors that come forward and say we should stay on

16
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: standard time all year, because each time we make this switch,

17
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: like one hundred thousand people die as a result of it.

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: It's tough and it seems like a supreme sacrifice. I say, sorry,

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: we're going to keep it the way it is fall back.

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I have no problem keeping it the way it is.

21
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: Guards he produces the show. My name is Dan Barrero

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: form Ringstein Retch newspaper of the Twin Cities, and we

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: are delighted that you are long for today's bumpy rye

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Glenn Mason four h two. Not in Fargo, but here guards,

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: he tells me. And Pat Kessler is scheduled in studio

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: as well at five point thirty. He's going to be

27
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: able to file a live report on what it was

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: like to see the carnage up close and personal. In

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, California. He was there as the plus one

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: in the beautiful People's suite for the Vikings Chargers debacle.

31
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: Correct, he was. I don't know if he was in

32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: a suite. It sounds better.

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: I was going to say his labrum is also ailing

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: after patting all the wolfs on the back for two

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: straight days.

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: There's no question about it. I'm sure that happened.

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that I have no doubt whatsoever that that would

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: that indeed took place. And I'm sure how much eye

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: rolling do you think there is when big shots are

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: around Kessler these days? I mean, I he they may

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: do a good job of hiding it from him, but

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: I you know, out of respect for missus Kessler in part, yes,

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: there's got to be a lot of eye rolling that goes.

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: Oh, here he comes again.

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Doesn't he have anything to do? Give him something to do?

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, problem, he's got too much free.

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: There's only so many art history classes that you can

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: uh write. What's the term for you if you don't

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: technically attend college audit? That's the word, thank you. There's

50
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: only so many of those are can audit. I think

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: he's run out of them. In fact, he has. We are,

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: as I said, delighted you are along for today's production

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: broadcast between now and I'll say six thirty now, But

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean we're going to six thirties.

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: We usually yesterday. We find out about that? How find out? Well,

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: we've been told.

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: It's just we double check and then I think today's

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: six thirty Tomorrow it's like five forty five.

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: It is. Yes, you told me we.

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Were going deep out.

61
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: That's good. I'm not complaining.

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: We're usually out at six. But because there's a say tomorrow, yeah,

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: that's true. Okay, so it's about fifteen minutes early. Vikey,

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: I should say Timberwolves I'm the fan tonight or just

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves channel. I was distracted because I guess I

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: was in a suite yeah, that doesn't surprise me. Unbelievable,

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: he'd he see how quickly he had to make sure

68
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: you knew it wasn't him.

69
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it wasn't ye, it wasn't him. It was another

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: source on the ground.

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Ah.

72
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: Interesting, it was with the peasants. Okay, good night.

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: I would imagine although this individual he can text me

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: he was probably in the suite too, Wolves Lakers.

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: On the fan that it's another late start. It is.

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: This is the burden associated with being a national TV Darling, Right,

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: you're we're in so many a national games this year,

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I know, and there's national net works you know, have

79
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: coverage every day basically. So that's the price you pay,

80
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: because I'm sure for a lot of people it's not

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: a real convenient start when it's eight forty.

82
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: It's not It can't be.

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: It's a school night, the whole bit, especially if that's

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: the case tonight in October.

85
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we deal with it in April and

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: it's correct, game two of the first round doubleheader in

87
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs. You kind of get the bit to have

88
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: two of your first three home games at eight thirty.

89
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: That's not great, No, it's not ideal. No, you got

90
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: nut up.

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: We do. We tell people to do that in the playoffs.

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: So no, Lebron tonight, no lifts some Luca tonight he's

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: out as well.

94
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Correct.

95
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then they got the new scorer, what's his name,

96
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: Billy Kobe? Yep, who is now getting used to score.

97
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: What's going to happen when they come back is I'm

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: wondering if the Hillbilly's gonna say, I ain't staying here'tain

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: I can score fifty? Yep, we're happy for you. Know, Lebron,

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: you're ninety and lift some Luca. I get it, you

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: lost some weight where That's wonderful. But I can score.

102
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: I got to handle them.

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Let me give me the ball.

104
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 2: Get out of my way. Who cards hill Billy Kobe tonight?

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: That's the question?

106
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Does nobody right now? According to FINCHI Does Finchy have

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: confidence in Jaden McDaniels.

108
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: To do it? The problem?

109
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is all part of I think a very

110
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: orchestrated campaign. I hope so more on that it works.

111
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Is there any chance that you can make it stop?

112
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Just end it?

113
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about.

114
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm worried.

115
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Here's your headline. Got if I had a buck for

116
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: every time this headline appeared. I wouldn't be I'd be

117
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: in molly right now. The athletic today, Wilde felt they

118
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: were better team in four to three overtime loss to

119
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: the Jets. When is somebody gonna say to members of

120
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: this organization, to players, nobody gives a rat ass that you,

121
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess, not having anything else to say in the

122
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: locker room, think.

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: We got the better of it.

124
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Stop saying it, even if you believe it.

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: Keep it inside you. And then when you've.

126
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Gone on it, after you've gone on like a fifteen

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: game unbeaten streak and you've established your bonafides one of

128
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: these seasons, dare I say postseason people might accept it,

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: but I heard it. We've this season. We've already I

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: bet you we've already heard that like five times. And

131
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: we're not the wild are not the only hockey team

132
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: to do it, not the only sports franchisees shyes, that

133
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: does it. But it's just it's annoying, it's obnoxious, and

134
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: We lost in overtime four to three, did we not?

136
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: We turned the ball, our best player turned earned the

137
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: puck over in overtime, leading to one of the easiest

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: overtime goals I've ever seen, and the game was over

139
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: at that point. How do you deserve better when you

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: give up a goal that way. We've lost seven of

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: our last eight. I get it, oh points and back

142
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: to back home games, but we've lost seven of the

143
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: last eight, including the first three of what was viewed

144
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: after the five game road trip disaster, a pretty important

145
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: early season six game homestand you hote this, there's no

146
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: equity on this team to go with what hockey players

147
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: have said, generation after generation played better, got the better

148
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: of it. Now there's even just as damaging. There's the

149
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: new analytic right, well, it's relatively new and this is

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: basically really how many goals?

151
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: Well, here it is, I'll read it.

152
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: This is from the the Joe Smith piece in the

153
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Athletic today. This contributes to the madness. The Wild held

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: a four point four to four to two point four

155
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: to advantage in expected goals in all situations per something

156
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: called natural stat trick. That's what it is. It's a trick,

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: and it's not going to playcate. A fan base that

158
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: with every game that goes by has every reason to

159
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: tune out, even this early in the season and to

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: roll their eyes and say, man, stop talking about getting

161
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: the better end of play, because it doesn't count that

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: way in the standings. And you're not a good enough

163
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: like I said, you're not a good enough team to

164
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: fall back on that cliche and have anybody believe.

165
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: It is there way, Like.

166
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Could we Maybe I'll text Bill Garran and I'll ask

167
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: him if he would consider fining the next player next

168
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: one of his players who uses that quote. Let's see

169
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: who the quotes came from in this game. Afterwards, there

170
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: were a couple, I believe Jake Middleton said it was

171
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: probably one of our more complete sixty minutes Midzi Rock Faber,

172
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: I thought we were the better team. It's one of

173
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: those things where we play that game ten times over.

174
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: We have a good chance of winning a lot of

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: those games. I understand, and I can live with the cliches.

176
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: We got to stay the course, We got to stay together.

177
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: We can't panic. We got a lot of ground, you know,

178
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: ground to make up. But we you know, we have to.

179
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: We can't cave in.

180
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: Now. Those I all would understand got the better of

181
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: the action.

182
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: Here's the fatal flaw regarding some of those analytics for me,

183
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: especially in hockey, you can have a stretch in the

184
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: game where you do seem to be sort of controlling

185
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: the action, okay, but if in that stretch you don't score,

186
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, and so the rest of the game

187
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: becomes You can't just isolate on those sections that serve

188
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: your purpose of trying to take the pressure off. This

189
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: team has only one way to take the pressure off,

190
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: win more games. That's what it's going to take. Maybe

191
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: they're incapable of it. Hell, lovel did you see the

192
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: label headline?

193
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: I didn't.

194
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Basically, maybe we need to take a long, hard look

195
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: and change the expectations of the twenty twenty five twenty

196
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: six it's.

197
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Not even Halloween.

198
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: It's subtle wild. Yeah, But maybe he's right. I mean, hell,

199
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: by Sunday, he'll probably know. By Monday, he'll probably write

200
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: the same com about the Vikings after they get.

201
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: Destroyed in Detroit, because it'll be the same thing.

202
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it's we got to reconsider what the realistic goals

203
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: are for twenty twenty five. It's possible there may be

204
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: a number of teams that fall sadly into that classification

205
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: before this thing is done.

206
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: But I just.

207
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: I can't believe what have we said about hockey fans.

208
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: They're defensive, they're fairly parochial, but I don't think they

209
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: like being lied to. I think they take their hockey seriously.

210
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: I think they take their own understanding of the game

211
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: seriously and often. They might well be the most knowledgeable

212
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: fan base of any sport in this town. The people

213
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: who are into it right, I can't believe they like

214
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: hearing this crap repeat it over and over again, because

215
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: after a while, it's like we said with the pelf scale,

216
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: if over and over, you know, the Mike Pelfrey bit

217
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: that we started with the pel scale was the first

218
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: time Mike Pelfrey after a game looked into the eyes

219
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: of the Jackals and said, boys and girls, that loss

220
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: is on me. I was not good enough. I didn't

221
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: give the team the number of innings and performance that

222
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: it deserved. I'm raising my hand. I'm gonna take responsibility.

223
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm better than that.

224
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: The problem with Pelfrey was, like the sixth time he

225
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: did that in like two months, you go, well, okay,

226
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: this sounds this sounded good. Originally, it sounds like, hey,

227
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: he's not blaming anybody else. He's not saying, well, as

228
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: Scotti Erickson once did the former Twins pitcher, I mean

229
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: once the ball leaves my hands.

230
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: I have no control over what happens to it in

231
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: terms of how it's hit. He didn't do any of that.

232
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: He said, No, it's I'm not making good enough pitches.

233
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: But at some point that loses his impact. If you

234
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: have to keep doing it over and over and over again,

235
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: people go, well, the words were nice the first, second,

236
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: third time, but by the fourth time, it's like, you

237
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: gotta do something about it.

238
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 2: On the diamond from the mound, same with this.

239
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: It's it's if it hasn't fallen on deaf ears already,

240
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: it should because it doesn't. Here's the other fact factor.

241
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: We heard about this. What game was it on the

242
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: road trip where Louie basically said the same thing the

243
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: wild where they had one horrible game and then they

244
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: had one where we deserve better, right, And that may

245
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: well have been on that occasion, but it if you

246
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: keep going down that road, it's almost like you're asking

247
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: people to so do you remember the games? Are players

248
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: just as brutally honest about I'll be honest with you,

249
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: they oh played our ass almost start to finish, we

250
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: didn't deserve the victory. I don't think you hear that

251
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: very much. Maybe you do what I've missed it, then

252
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: that might be more. I might be willing to accept it.

253
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, if people say, in that position, find a

254
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: way to win, right, didn't have our best stuff, but

255
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: found a way to win. Right, we want to get

256
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: patted on the back for that. We're not in those

257
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: situations going well, I can't believe we got two points

258
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: in the standings for that. Is there any way we

259
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: can petition that because we didn't deserve it. Nobody says that.

260
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: Nobody should because in the end, you have to win.

261
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know anybody who's watching this team now

262
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: says they're playing winning hockey or anything close to it.

263
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: The goaltender has not been good. I don't care what

264
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: anybody says. The stuff happening in front of him has

265
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: not been good. And you can even again talk about injuries.

266
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm not even denying it, but just stop with the

267
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: man we had. It's almost like, well if we well,

268
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: he did say it, Faber. So let's see if we

269
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: play that same game ten ten games over what we

270
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: would win seven of them? What difference does that make right?

271
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: You either you win or you you play to win

272
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: the game, don't you? You do occasionally to tie. And

273
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: we did get a point again for the second YEP

274
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: straight game, but it did I didn't come out of

275
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: that game feeling like they.

276
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: Should be happy with that, and they haven't shown we had.

277
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: A nice comeback after we get down early and then

278
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: we blow that lead and then.

279
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: We lose it.

280
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Like I said, instantaneously after we lost control of the

281
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: puck in ot And as I'm watching the first pariod

282
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: last night, I'm thinking to myself, they're playing pretty well,

283
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: they've got some jump, they've had a lot of good chances,

284
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: and they're down to zero.

285
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: Right, it doesn't matter how well you're playing if you're

286
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: down and they got that, does it? They got themselves

287
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: back in it, and sure, moral victory point whatever you

288
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: want to call it. But the other issue is they

289
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: haven't shown the ability to replicate the effort that Faber

290
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: is talking to No right, when you say, if we

291
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: do that ten times, we're going to be on the

292
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: right side of things. But that's been part of the

293
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: problem this season. Right, they haven't done that enough, and

294
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: so you don't get rewarded maybe on the nights that

295
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: you do bring it, but there have been too many

296
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: nights where it's just been a debacle home or road.

297
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

298
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: Well, I see, here's an example, a six to one

299
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: to two guy, Dan, did you watch the game? I

300
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: watched every minute of the game. What's the point?

301
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: Well, so what I'll throw it back to six one two?

302
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: Guy?

303
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: Did you watch the game?

304
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Are you aroused by the by the the the idea

305
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: that we're going to give ourselves extra juice for hey

306
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: this game? We we they just had a disastrous road

307
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: trip and they've done nothing on this homestand so far,

308
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: who do we just lose to.

309
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: Two nights ago in ot Sharks? Right? Six five?

310
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Is that? If I checked the standings upside, are they

311
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: considered one of the best teams in hockey?

312
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: So what are we doing so you can't?

313
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: You have to build equity to use, in my opinion,

314
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: to utter that cliche and not get mocked for it.

315
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: And we haven't.

316
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: We haven't done any of that to this point. Now,

317
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: if you want to say, well, if we we think,

318
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: if we keep playing this style, we have a chance

319
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: to get it going, I'll listen to that. But I'd

320
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: rather also have with it. But we if we have

321
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: to find a way to win those games. That's what

322
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: separates the great teams from the average and mediocre teams.

323
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: That part doesn't. Just don't think that part changes. So

324
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: in any case, that's where we are. Let' let's go,

325
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: We'll go to twenty second.

326
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: We cannot.

327
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: We can't because we don't have our first guest till

328
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: top of the hour. Six five le should say the

329
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: The Bratchean Brian Kivan text line is six four six.

330
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: Eight six six four six eighty six Dan. The word

331
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: of the day.

00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: This is from nine to five to two. Guy is delusional.

333
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: I was at the Wild game last night, and Rock

334
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: Faber really thinks the Wild we're the better team. His

335
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: face is next to the definition of today's word in

336
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Webster's Dictionary, the Wild. We're lucky to even be in

337
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: the game late in the third period. The team had

338
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: no energy in the first or second periods. That's from

339
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: nine to five two Guy I was there, writes six'

340
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: one two, guy we looked. TERRIBLE i was just wondering

341
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: if you really did watch. It the goalies haven't been,

342
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: bad but nothing else is. WORKING i LIKE i, SAID

343
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: i MAYBE i don't even know what they're capable. Of

344
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: at this, POINT i. Did i'd created a hashtag off

345
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: of the level the link to The Lavelle wild column

346
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: the A Star tribune hashtag longing For. LAMAIRE i know

350
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: not even putting it on our, guy our head.

351
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: Coach, now who is our head? Coach? Now oh, tines that's.

352
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: Right we've had a. Few BUT i, JUST i, JUST

353
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: i guess What i'm longing for is WHAT i Think lamaire.

354
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: Represents and WHAT i liked About lamaire's coaching style, was,

355
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: well they don't have that much.

356
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: TALENT i have a little like surprise in a couple of.

357
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: Places but there's a way we got to play to

358
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: give ourselves the best chance to at least be. Competitive

359
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: AND i don't care what the general manager, THINKS i

360
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: don't care what fans think in terms, of you, know

361
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: esthetic style of. Hockey we're going to adhere to my.

362
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Principles The lamaire, principles and maybe that's. Rare maybe there

363
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: aren't very many people who are like that who could

364
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: get that. Done AND i admit, it that was a

365
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: long time, Ago BUT i just what else have we?

366
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: REALLY i, mean we've had a number of coaches, who

367
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: over a period of, time you, go, oh this guy looks,

368
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: promising or this guy looks, interesting or this guy looks

369
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: like he's got a. Chance But i'm reminiscing And i'm

370
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: wa see nostalgic For lamaire in large, measure because you

371
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: can really make the argument that since he, left nothing's happened.

372
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: Here in all, seriousness, AGAIN i, supported like you did

373
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: The suit Of perezy signings and to that extent financially

374
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: in terms of attendance and you, know trying to keep

375
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: the franchise. Viable those, moves aggressive moves probably made. Sense

376
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: but in all, honesty did we ever we never went

377
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: to a conference final in the suit Of perezy, era did?

378
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: We we didn't went to the second round a couple of.

379
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: Times so it's, like, SO i that's WHY i keep

380
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: longing For.

381
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: Lamire that's just BECAUSE i remember then it just felt

382
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: like something different was going on. That this is a

383
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: guy who just, knows who evaluates, ruthlessly doesn't care about hurt.

384
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: Feelings here's Why i'm going to, play you want to,

385
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Play here's how you have to, play and got away with,

386
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: it despite the fact THAT i don't think anybody said

387
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: to those early years we were abundant in talent where

388
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: we we couldn't have. Been we were an expansion, team weren't, We.

389
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: And that might be part of. It it was a

390
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: team that knew who they.

391
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: Were, yeah it Was grinders that knew who they, were

392
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: and Then, gabrick who was there last night right in

393
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: a very interesting sweater being honored for his contributions to the.

394
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: Franchise it was a group that knew who they were

395
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: and knew who their strengths were and knew how they

396
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: had to play to. Win AND i think this group

397
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 3: is searching for that a little. Bit they played for

398
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: the sweater back, Then that's what they. Did they played

399
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: for the team of eighteen. Thousand they did, that and

400
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: they played for the state of, hockey.

401
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: The state of.

402
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: Hockey that's. True, yes when it was fresh and, new

403
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: we didn't roll our eyes about that. Cliche the state

404
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: of hockey then or even the. Song we loved every

405
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:45,320

Speaker 1: segment of The bumper To bumper. Program you two are

499
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: an embarrassment to the state of. Hockey stick to your

500

502
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: better team out, there as. Diplomatically diplomatically saying that your

503
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: goalie lets you. Down can't say. That got to say

504
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: something because this reporters asking you don't have to say,

505
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: that And i'll say, again we've had We've this is

506
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: not a new discussion on this show regarding the use

507
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: invoking this particular cliche because it doesn't just apply to.

508
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: HOCKEY i mean the the the probably the most, HISTORIC

509
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: i don't want to was one of your favorite games

510
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: In vikings. History, yeah the Fumble eye, game in which

511
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: we outplayed The New Orleans saints except for the fact

512
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: that we turned the ball over nine times and they were,

513
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: cheating and well they were, Cheating i'll grant you, that

514
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: but we we are self. Inflicted. UH i don't think

515
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: the cheating had anything to do with the missed handoff

516
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half Between Adrian, peterson

517
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: who's been making some news, lately more news and uh

518
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: and and number Four Brett.

519
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: Favre but the. Huddle that didn't.

520
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: Help, yeah that didn't. HELP i mean you could argue

521
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: that had that had something to do with bounty. Gate

522
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: we were, traumatized and so who do we ultimately? Blame

523
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: we blame that on a, position Guy, eric the enemy

524
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: WHO i think is In chicago now with The. Bears

525
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: is he you would know better than. ME i don't

526
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: know for, sure BUT i think that's where he might

527
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: be at this.

528
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: Point if we played THAT Nfc championship game ten ten,

529
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 3: times how many times would we have been in The Super?

530
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: Bowl you won it eight? Times you think SO i?

531
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: HAD i think? Nine well the BETTER i, think actually

532
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: the better. EXAMPLE i think the honest answer to that

533
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: one would be six and a. Half.

534
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah the one that's more telling is the ninety eight

535
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: nfcatitle game Here Vikings. Falcons if you played that game ten,

536
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: Times I'M i think The vikings probably win it nine

537
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: out of.

538
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: Ten, yeah to be honest with.

539
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: It's a nice thing to keep thinking it? Again does?

540
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: It it doesn't playkates you in any meaningful. Way it

541
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: certainly does. Not. Dan what happened to giving The wild

542
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: no coverage after your snarky response to fans after the

543
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: opening night five nil.

544
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: Win you're a? Fraud did you make that? VOW i

545
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: can't remember WHAT.

546
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: I said was in?

547
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:04,840

Speaker 1: He sensitive hockey guy, texted then why are you not

549
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,360

Speaker 2: have we? Played? Now pull up the?

553
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: Standings might as well be accurate erasment to the hockey.

554
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: COMMUNITY i don't know we can get out of. That

555
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: i'm a hockey dad, too think about. It, yeah that's

556
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: a good. Point, yeah we've we've certainly played more than

557
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: one game, now. Correct that's the point is we now

558
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: have the start of a body of. Work it's not,

559
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: complete season's not, over but one game is very different

560
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: than our current number of, games which is. Eleven, okay

561
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: so that's we're three and. Three that's so eleven games

562
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: and double digits were. One i'm not gonna do the.

563
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: Math no, one no, one.

564
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: Eighth of the. Season, sure let's go with that little

565
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 2: bit more whatever it. Is, yeah that's.

566
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: All we've already had a five game road trip and

567
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: now we're halfway through a six game homestand we have nine.

568
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Points and we got nine points or three points out

569
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: of a wild, card so we got. That we got

570
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: once again the worst penalty kill. Ever our goal differential

571
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: is one of the. Words we laid all this out

572
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: On monday when we're going through the list of an

573
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: aptitude from the. Weekend SO i you, know, again that's

574
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: fine if you this was a specific rant having to

575
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: do with it really Is pelfrey, related it's it's, well,

576
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: NO i guess it's a different. Example pelfrey example is

577
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: you're trying too hard to take responsibility and you can't

578
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: keep taking. Responsibility it's a little like the coach who

579
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: says it's on. Me just within the last. WEEK pj

580
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: went with it AND koc went with. It, yeah and

581
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: you Lost october. Weekend it's a dangerous card because if

582
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: you play it more than, once then same thing. Happens

583
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: people go away a. Minute now you're the coach you

584
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: can't Get you might be able to get away with that.

585
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: Once this one we've granted about for decades regarding the

586
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: variation of we outplayed, them or we deserve, better or

587
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: we were the better. Team and the ultimate, test AS i,

588
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: said how many times do we hear a TEAM i

589
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: used to do. IT i was a. Jackal you after a,

590
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: game you go into the losing locker room and you

591
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: find a player who, says we deserve to win that.

592
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 2: Game we played. Them what do you?

593
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you sprint to the winning locker room and you, say,

594
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: he by the, Way Joe, doaks they're starting, safety says

595
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: that they deserve to win the.

596
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: Game they outplayed.

597
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: It how many times do players, say, Well doaks might

598
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: have a, Point, no they got's.

599
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: Insulting we won the. Game so it's it's why it's

600
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: a waste of.

601
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Time And i'll say a game you might believe in

602
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt if it's a consistently winning,

603
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: operation and you, go, okay well it's a, cliche but,

604
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: yeah they won a, lot and so maybe they mean,

605
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: it and maybe there's even some truth to. It it just.

606
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Doesn't it just rings hollow when you have as, many

607
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: AS i, said unrealized dreams for this franchise In. Minnesota

608
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: WHILE i mean we kidded about. IT i love. History

609
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: you know that twenty five years is a good round,

610
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: Number But i'm not sure enough has happened to make

611
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: that big of a production over the twenty five. Years

612
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: you got to have more, yeah on the, RESUME i

613
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: think it's a little. Tough it's a little tough when

614
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: you have to go down that. Road and there's just

615
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: this is not ten years right since round?

616
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: Two? Correct round?

617
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: Two actually two seventy two maths, alright that can't be.

618
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: Right twenty, no.

619
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: Twenty.

620
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: Seven we haven't played twenty seven percent of the. Season

621
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,239
Speaker 1: that's a quarter of the. Season that can't be. Right

622
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: we haven't played that many games court of the season with,

623
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: Me how many games did you?

624
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: Say we've played? Eleven eleven?

625
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: Times?

626
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: Four is forty?

627
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Four?

628
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: Right we know, That so he's playing with. Us this

629
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: is WHAT i don't like when people question our math

630
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: when we've kind of done it. Right, yeah and then

631
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 3: it makes us sound even dumber for questioning that and

632
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: having to rethink, it because once we start rethinking our bad,

633
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 3: math that's where we're really.

634
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: Here here's the guy who gets. It god Bless john

635
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: the mail, carrier tired of being the little engine that

636
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: could freaking win some. Games that's, it, Man if you

637
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: really distill the emotion of the average hockey fan right,

638
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: now that's all they care.

639
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: About we've been waiting for this, year exactly. It and

640
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: so that emotion says it.

641
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: All that doesn't mean there can't be some nuance to to, say,

642
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: Well i'm seeing some good signs Or i'm seeing some

643
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: things maybe that have a chance to come. Together but

644
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: you're tired of being a little engine that could win

645
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: some more more puck. Games just win a few. More

646
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: actually you need to win a lot, more but you

647
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: know we start with a. Few like right, now you've

648
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: got three games left in this home. Stand win all.

649
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: THREE i don't know who we're, Playing just just win all.

650
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: Three just just try to get the bad taste out

651
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: and and and maybe give people a sense, that all,

652
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: right we are starting to figure some stuff.

653
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: Out Got pittsburgh tomorrow. Night who's this? Team got to

660
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: like the effort was much. BETTER i wouldn't say they

661
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: deserve to. Win the biggest problem is they've been very

662
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: shaky this. Season, oh they have been largely, shaky and

663
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: maybe some of that's injuries will find. Out but even,

664
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: THAT i, mean you, KNOW I i just don't think

665
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,840

666
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:32,359

Speaker 1: dan AS i listened to your battle of the hockey.

668
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: Community i'm thinking deeper about how why it has come to.

669
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: THIS i THINK i understand what you're digging. At it

670
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: seems like you're just asking for them to view things.

671
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Reasonably could be like the team, itself you need to

672
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: lower your. Expectations maybe He's Maybe tony's, Right maybe it's

673
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 1: it's time to stop fighting it like Like lavelle, said

674
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: AND i. Haven't in, fact he text. Us both texted

675
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: us both Because i'll ADMIT i haven't read the column.

676
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: YET i read the headline that was about The bear

677
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: staff that he, Wrote oh the.

678
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: Enemy, Yeah ANTOINE. Randallll that would be of. Course Glenn

679
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: mason are four o'clock, guests good, friends he just walked,

680
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: in And Al harris are all on The bear's. Step

681
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: closer got to lovel in your, column what are you

682
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: suggesting should be the new expectations of The Minnesota Wild

683
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: we're back to play all the, kids all of the

684
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: time because you ain't going anywhere.

685
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: Anyway because you can make that.

686
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: Argument the problem is whether THE gm feels comfortable enough doing,

687
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: that whether the head coach feels comfortable enough doing, that

688
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: and whether deep down fans are willing to accept. That

689
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: it's the same series of questions, frankly that The vikings

690
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: might soon be, asking if they're not. Already seaford told

691
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: us yesterday that you, know he buys the notion that

692
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of tension in the whole building right

693
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: now because they know this effort to sort of thread the,

694
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: needle you, know young quarterback and keep it together and

695
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: still be a playoff team thinking of making a run ain't.

696
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: Easy and the early indication are they've they're not meeting

697
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: that high standard at. All let's take a, break get

698
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,960

00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: US i, mean maybe we should compile a list if

Speaker 1: we included all of the of the, games regardless of,

710
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,680

00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 2: to do.

735
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: ANYTHING i knew exactly WHAT i was, doing AND i

736
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: wanted to play as long AS i. COULD i was

737
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna milk this as long as they possibly.

738
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: Could so.

739
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: Listening To, WinCE has your opinion or MAYBE i should

740
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: ask myself this BECAUSE i don't know if you've been

741
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: a strident on this as me tempered at all on

742
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: the basis of what the player himself, said because for,

743
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: me it doesn't change.

744
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: Anything it doesn't because that's WHAT i expected him to say.

745
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: EXACTLY i expected the player and the, competitor or the

746
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 3: warrior As koc called him. YESTERDAY i expected the warrior

747
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: to say. THAT i don't expect a player to, say,

748
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 3: YEAH i was a little dicey out. There they probably

749
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 3: should have grabbed. ME i don't expect the, quarterback especially

750
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: one who was waiting for an opportunity like. This of

751
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: course he's going to say. That of course he's gonna want,

752
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 3: that and of course he's going to say. THAT i

753
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 3: think our point at least what, well you, know you

754
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: do have to make a, JUDGMENT i.

755
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: Think SO i am going to be curious to find

756
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: out What mace thinks about all this as a former,

757
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: coach because he might you, know coaches tend to stick.

758
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: Together so my guess is he'll feel obligated to. Defend

759
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: you know that's on call For.

760
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 2: Mace that is very. Uncalled the last response was just

761
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: the one, hand that's just so. SPIRITED i, MEAN I

762
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: i just don't understand where that with that lack of.

763
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: CLASS i actually don't. Either i'm a little DO i

764
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: think that he'll say that tells you what you do to?

765
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: HIM i Texted seafort with this, question will you answer me?

766
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: THIS i should have asked him this. Yesterday so we

767
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: keep being told that he can't do any more damage to.

768
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: It it's just a matter of pain. Threshold on that,

769
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: basis can anybody explain to me why he's having?

770
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: Surgery? Now do you know WHAT i?

771
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: Mean it's, like, well because the comeback was, well he

772
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: didn't have as much time to recover between The sunday

773
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: game in The thursday night. Game, well now he would

774
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: have more to recover again as the backup again at

775
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: this point because we know what McCarthy is going to,

776
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: be the guy who's. Starting but if there's no other

777
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: damage that can be, done and it's just a matter of,

778
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: NO i just have to deal with the, pain And

779
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: i'm fine dealing with the. Pain why would he have

780
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: the surgery? Now is there not a possibility that later

781
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: in the season they might need him?

782
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: Again that's, true they couldn't need him as soon As.

783
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: Sunday, yeah it's another piece that doesn't add up with

784
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: the idea, that, hey, no he's, fine.

785
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: You, know just a little.

786
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: PAIN i, mean it may have looked a little weird

787
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: that contraption he wore on his left shoulder that looked

788
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: like it came out of the like medieval, times For god's, sake,

789
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Right but no one's really been able to explain that

790
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: to me other than, well it's just the pain is worse. Now,

791
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: well but now we've got the extra time, off why

792
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: not continue to try to manage the, Pain which is

793
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: WHY i don't buy that it hasn't gotten, worse or

794
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: that it was already bad enough by the second half

795
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: of that game that he shouldn't have been in the damn.

796
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: Lineup.

797
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: Sorry, honestly the only thing that changed is that now

798
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: they have an option that they're ready to throw back out.

799
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: There, Right that's the only thing that's.

800
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: Changed JJ's, healthy, yes and he's ready to, play and

801
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 3: they're afraid to put your guy. On they don't for

802
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 3: not the reason that you would, expect, right, Right they're

803
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: afraid to put him out. There SO i think that's

804
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: the only thing to change is if you can gut

805
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 3: it out. Now we needed to gut it. Out and

806
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 3: Once JJ's, back if you want to have the, surgery

807
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: go do.

808
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 2: It and that's what he's. Doing did you read The

809
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: Alex lewis piece on.

810
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: On?

811
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: DARISANG i read pretty much. Everything Alex lewis.

812
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: Rights, absolutely HE i think raised some of the points

813
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: that we got into, yesterday but let he fleshed it

814
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: out in much more depth beyond. That AND i think

815
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: he's asking the same question we've been. Asking we've had

816
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of mixed messages About darisa and his, availability

817
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: and now we're, hearing, well it's always been a twelve month,

818
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: injury and so to a certain, extent it's almost like

819
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: The vikings are saying we should have seen it. Coming

820
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: how inconsistently he might be available through the first part

821
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: of the, season and by, inconsistent here's your snap counts thirty,

822
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: eight seventy, six forty, one sixty, nine and, nine and he,

823
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: writes injury designations don't tend to be this much of a. Puzzle, questionable, out, questionable, active, active, active.

824
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: Questionable he notes that in the, spring O'Connell consistently Praised

825
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: darrisau's commitment to the. Bit, however until this, week When

826
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 1: darisa told reporters that the initial recovery timeline was twelve,

827
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: months meaning he would need until mid to Late, october

828
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: neither he nor The vikings had offered a definitive timeline

829
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: for his. Return he notes and acknowledges in some, ways

830
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: the lack of clarity is. Understandable health isn't always. Linear

831
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: teams often treat injury designations as a competitive advantage of, sorts.

832
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: Etc the obtusenists began In week.

833
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: ONE a couple of days before that, game O'Connor saidarisa

834
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: had great moments throughout the, week, ADDED i know he's

835
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: getting really really, close but The vikings rule derisaw. Out

836
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: Before week two matchup with The, falcons O'Connell dismissed the

837
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: idea of any, setback described the dynamic as a very

838
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: wait for, it collaborative approach With, christian myself and our medical.

839
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: Team he debuts In week three against The. Bengals O'Connell's

840
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: celebrating his. PRESENCE i think he's now got that last

841
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: bit of confidence, needed check that, box and NOW cd

842
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: should be in a great position moving. Forward week, four

843
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: upward trajectory, Continues snaps, increase that should bode really well

844
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: for him moving, forward but it. Didn't snaps decreased in

845
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: the win over The. Browns by week allows him to

846
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: be present for the entirety of The week seven game

847
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: against The, eagles for better or. Worse but Then darisa

848
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: removed himself nine steps into The thursday night debacle In Los.

849
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: Angeles that's When darrisau said short, week tried to give

850
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: it a. Go body didn't respond HOW i wanted. To

851
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: so if that's all, true and that deep down The

852
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: vikings have known all along that this is a twelve month,

853
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: prognosis a twelve month, process, then.

854
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: As alec, notes what about your?

855
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: Insurance Knowing darrisa's, timetable The vikings Chosen march to Sign

856
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: justin's school when pro football focus is dinged for a

857
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: league high six sacks is backup. Depth Walter rowle's twenty

858
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: twenty four to fifth round pick also is not, ascended

859
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: and their struggles have complicated the team's desire to put

860
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: young QUARTERBACK jj McCarthy and the cushion spotted hope to

861
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: create this. Season to, me what he's saying there, is,

862
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: well if that's really what you, know then you have

863
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: to make better insurance a. Priority now you're not going

864
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: to get an all pro backup. Tackle we understand. That

865
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: but if if The vikings all along believed What dar

866
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: saw is now saying to, us, didn't they need to

867
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: have a better PLAN b until they can comfortably reach

868
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: the point to say he's. Back he's back every you,

869
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: know every snap that, matters every game the rest of the.

870
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: Season and it's what we talked.

871
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: About they've done a poor job of managing, expectations messaging

872
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: and messaging on you, know how he's going to be

873
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: available because even the MESSAGING i just quoted seem to

874
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: indicate upward path and we're it's all clear now and

875
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: it's clearly has that has clearly not been the case

876
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: the way this thing has has played, out and SO

877
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: i again think the player has been done in disservice

878
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: because among fans there's, Grumbling, yeah what's with? Him you,

879
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: know he's just how wimpy is? That and he doesn't

880
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: have to be wimpy at? All this might just be

881
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: part of the. Process it's a significant. Injury but because

882
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: the Vice kings didn't give us any warnings on, that

883
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: even just ideas of, hey this thing's going to come and,

884
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: go we don't know if it's going to go straight

885
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: up in terms of his playing. Time it depends on

886
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of factors. HERE i think they would have

887
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: been better off opening that door without being Too you

888
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: don't have to be too negative about, it BUT i

889
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: didn't think they did a particularly good job of. That all,

890
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: right let's do. This we'll prepare For mace in fact

891

894
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,440

895
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: never because darrisaw wanted, out but you, know players rarely

896
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position are going to go leave on their.

897

Speaker 1: Own they know that the time's too. Valuable they don't

898
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:47,520

899
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: back in. There what responsibility does a coach have and

900
