251
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: you are correct. All right, Brett, Charlie's got one. You've

252
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: got question number two here? Which human organ is primarily

253
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,320

261
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Would you like question one or question two? I'll go

262

00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: You were sweating that one, weren't you a little bit?

267
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: All right? Packer fans got to Charlie, You're gonna have

268
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: the other geography question. What is the capital? What is

269
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: the capital city of Canada? Oh, I'll go with Montreal.

270
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Hold on my button, bar Froze. There is there steals involved.

271
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: There is steals involved. Brett, will let you answer this one.

272
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: I am a hockey fan and I know that Ottawa.

273
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: You correc yes. All right, Charlie, you're down three to

274
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: one after four questions, we have six more to go.

275
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: Next up as history, Charlie, would you like question one

276
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: or question two? For history? Let's go question one again?

277
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: All right, Question one. I was really hoping Brett was

278
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: going to get this question. I was wondering if his

279
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: if his age would throw him off here. The Cold

280
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: War was mainly between the US and which other country? Russia?

281
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: We'll give it to you the Soviet Union.

282
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 5: You are correct?

283
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it's three two in favor of Brett. Brett,

284
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: you get the other history question. Who was the first

285
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean? I have to

286
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: imagine it was Amelia Earhart. Yeah, that was. I love

287
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: how you're getting him right, but you also still are

288
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: like questioning yourself on these.

289
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: Well because I know her, but I know her from

290
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: disappearing more than I know her from being the first.

291
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: So I just educated guess all right, we have four

292
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: more questions to go, Brett, you lead four to two.

293
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: Our next question is math. Would you like question one

294
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: or question two? Spoil it?

295
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter which one it is. I'm getting it wrong.

296
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: Let's let's go one. Question one?

297
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: What is the value of seven squared plus five squared?

298
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: No chance? What is the value of seven squared plus

299
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: five squared?

300
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: Well, well, hang on, seven scorns, so seventy five plus

301
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 2: twenty five if I am math is correct, so Sony,

302
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: that'd be one hundred.

303
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, time I told you I was getting wrong.

304
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I can't. Charlie, would you like to get to steal here?

305
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: This is a big moment for you in this game.

306
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: You got a chance to turn this game back around.

307
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: You can steal what is the value of seven squared

308
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: plus five squared? Seventy four? Forty? I had my math?

309
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Do you know how squared works?

310
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: Right?

311
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 5: Do?

312
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I'll just ask Siri and it'll

313
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: tell me seven square forty nine five squared is twenty five.

314
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: You had them together, that is seventy four. Charlie, all

315
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have a chance to tie this thing.

316
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: Here's your math question, Charlie. A shirt costs forty dollars

317
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: and is on sale for twenty five percent off. What

318
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: is the sales price?

319
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: Thirty dollars? You correct?

320
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlie knows math.

321
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: You know what's sad is that maybe like the fifth

322
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: most embarrassing thing I've done on this show.

323
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: So it's not even that big of a deal. I

324
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: don't even know what we do if there's a tiebreaker here,

325
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, So Charlie, you've got four,

326
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: Brett's got four. We are now into the general knowledge section. Charlie,

327
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: would you like question one or question two? Question one?

328
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, Charlie, A heptagon has how many sides? Heptagon?

329
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: A heptagon? You're going with six?

330
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: Brett, you can steal I can take control of this game.

331
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I know it's not five, six, seven,

332
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: definitely not eight. The only thing is it could be

333
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: like nine or I'll go nine. Yeah, it's not deca,

334
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 2: it's not it's seven.

335
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Heptagon is seven? Oh all right, I comfortably say that

336
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: it wasn't seven, and there it is. Uh so we're

337
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: on Brett here right, yes, all right, So Brett, here's

338
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Well, no, well, we'll get a chance, Charlie,

339
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: chance steal. So it's four four. Whoever gets this question right, Brett,

340
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the kick the first kick of the

341
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: can here, okay? Is the victory? Is the victor? All right? Brett?

342
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: What planet has the most moons? Whoa what planet has

343
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: the most moons?

344
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: It would be very Packers like to tie this game,

345
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: it would I'm gonna go with Saturn.

346
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: Your money, you know what else? You're a big winterday

347
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: night the Packer fan has one. Saturn is the correct answer.

348
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: And Charlie, unfortunately you lost to a Packer fan. You

349
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: should spend the rest of your weekend in shame. Sorry, Charlie.

350
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: Tom and West Saint Paul, a Packer fan, has wanted

351
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: for you. You are going to head to a grand casino

352
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: arena in October twelfth to see the Tommies. Let's destroy

353
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: the North Dakota Fighting Hawks. Congratulations, Thank you very much.

354
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: My buddy is coming with me. Let's go. All right,

355
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: I'll put you on hold, Tom Bright, I'll take your information.

356
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with Michael Russo of The Athletic

357
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: about the Minnesota Wild next right here on the fits.

358
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back, final segment of the ten of Fitzgerald.

359
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Don't worry the comming man. I'll be back on Monday now.

360
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: Please to be joined by Minnesota Wild. Beat writer for

361
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: The Athletic. That would be Michael Russo. Hello, Michael, how

362
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: are you?

363
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: What up?

364
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: How are you?

365
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing good.

366
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: You know.

367
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: I think the Caroka Presoft contract negotiations have taken a

368
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: lot of the headlines. There's kind of a contract situation

369
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: that really has gotten not a lot of attention, and

370
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of interesting. And that would be

371
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: the Philip Gustosen situation, right because he's in the same

372
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: boat capriceoff is where he's a free agent at the

373
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: end of the year. I kind of find it interesting

374
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: on both sides of this, Michael, because on one hand,

375
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: like he's been a pretty good goalie in two of

376
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: the three years. He's still young, right, Like typically you

377
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: want to lock up a young goalie he's been playing

378
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: that well. On the other hand, his backup was kind

379
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: of thought to be the goalie of the future coming

380
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: off a bad year in Iowa. But I know, maybe

381
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: with this one you want to go into the season

382
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: a little bit and see what you got out of

383
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: him before committing full term to Gusta. Where where are

384
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: we at with the gust Bus contract negotiations?

385
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 5: Where we're at is is it hasn't started yet. I

386
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 5: envision that will be next and probably pretty soon. You know,

387
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 5: they want to get it done, you know, And it's

388
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 5: it's sort of similar obviously as you as you kind

389
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 5: of alluded. I mean, it's not Corol Caprice offt but

390
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: it's sort of similar in the fact of what's the

391
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 5: alternative if you don't get him done. If you look

392
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 5: at the group three free agents next summer, it is

393
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 5: absolutely barren, you know, other than Stuart Skinner who might

394
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: be resigned by Edmonton. Uh, there's really nobody out there.

395
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: There's no true number ones out there if they don't

396
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 5: get Gustus and done. So, I you know, kind of

397
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 5: similar to Caprisa. He's got the hammer, especially in light

398
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 5: of the fact that goalie contracts right now are just

399
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 5: absolutely through the roof. I mean it is between essentially

400
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: six to eight million dollars. The second that Spencer Knight

401
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 5: got five point eight from Chicago, you knew that, you

402
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 5: that we're talking six and a half seven even more

403
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 5: for Gus to sin. So I think they're going to

404
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 5: have to get it done, you know, and it look,

405
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 5: if Valstad has a great year, there's it's not illegal

406
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 5: to have two really good goalies have assets that way.

407
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 5: Maybe eventually you move them, but at a minimum, you

408
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: know that you have Valstat here signed for two point

409
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: two million the next couple of years. So if you know,

410
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 5: if you have a couple of goalies making you know,

411
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 5: less than nine, that's not that's not the worst thing

412
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 5: in the world in a rizing cap world. So I

413
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 5: think that they're going to try, regardless of whether you

414
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 5: know they know or don't know enough about Vaalstate yet,

415
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: I think they're going to try to still be motivated

416
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 5: to get Augustuson done. But his agent's got the hammer

417
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 5: right now in the wild. I think probably know.

418
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: That what have you seen from Valstad so far? Because

419
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, you know, one point you have thought

420
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: to be the top goalie prospect in all of the

421
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: National Hockey League. Bad year last year in Iowa, I'm

422
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: assuming he's pretty motivated coming into the season. What have

423
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: you seen from him so far in training camp and

424
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: in the preseason games.

425
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's looked good. I mean, he played

426
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 5: two games against Winnipeg, and both games he gave up

427
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 5: a couple early goals. The goals, especially in the second game,

428
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 5: weren't great goals. But yet the one thing he has

429
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 5: done that is much much better than we saw in

430
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 5: Iowa is that he settles in. He doesn't let it

431
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 5: crater the rest of his game, and in both games

432
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 5: he was lights out the rest of the way, especially

433
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 5: in the second game against Winnipeg, where, yeah, they didn't

434
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 5: bring Mark Schifley and Kyle Connor down here, but they

435
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 5: had the rest of their NHL lineup for the most part,

436
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: and he shut it down. He made nine saves on

437
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 5: the penalty kill, so you know, on a four for

438
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 5: four penalty kill before Marcus Felino's game winning goal. He

439
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 5: made two great saves on that power play by the Jets,

440
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 5: So you know, I think he's earned the spot. Cal

441
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 5: Peterson's looked really good in camp as well. But cal

442
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 5: is almost certainly going to be put on waivers here

443
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 5: in the next couple of days, provided there's no injuries

444
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 5: tonight in Chicago, and you know, and they'll start with

445
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 5: Volstad and Gustison. But I like so far what I've

446
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 5: seen from from Wally. He seems to, you know, have

447
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 5: a really good attitude. He seems to realize that that

448
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 5: he you know, he's not making excuses for the way

449
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 5: that last year went, He's putting it behind him. He

450
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: came into camp and outstanding shape, just like Gustison, and

451
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 5: I think that they could be a really good tandem

452
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 5: as long as Wally continues to look like we've seen

453
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 5: in the preseason, and frankly, Guss looks better than we've

454
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 5: seen in the preseason, and he'll get a big test

455
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: tonight in Chicago.

456
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: All Right, One final goalie question, what kind of an

457
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: impact does the lack of Marc Andre Fleury now have

458
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 1: in that locker room? Did you think do you think

459
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: anything change with not having a guy like that who

460
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: keeps the room light has won some Stanley Cups? And

461
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: then follow up question, I saw a national writer go

462
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: right that he thinks that once we get into January

463
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: and February, he thinks teams are going to be calling

464
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: for Marc Andre Fleury to try to get convince him

465
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: to come back and help him with a playoff run.

466
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: So if you get address both sides of that Marc

467
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: andre Fleury question, I'd appreciate it.

468
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 5: Well. The latter, I mean, that is something that I've

469
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 5: been alluding to for a while. I actually think that that.

470
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 5: I mean, look, he had five offers on July one.

471
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 5: I think really had an offer earlier in training camp

472
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 5: yep wow of people trying to get him out of retirement.

473
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 5: So I do think that two people are going to

474
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 5: lure him. I think his agent would take calls and

475
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 5: then we'll see where it goes. So one thing I'll

476
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 5: say about Mark Andre is I don't think he's going

477
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 5: to want to leave his family. So frankly, the only

478
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 5: real team that I see that would have an opportunity

479
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 5: to maybe sign him as Minnesota.

480
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

481
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I just don't see that he

482
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 5: would want to leave here for three or four or

483
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: five months. And again, the goal would be to go

484
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 5: to June, so six months. If all of a sudden,

485
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 5: the team started calling him in the in the second

486
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 5: part of the calendar. So, you know, my gut says

487
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 5: that the only way that he would come back was

488
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 5: if it was here, and I just don't think that

489
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 5: he's gonna want to. The one thing is he keeps

490
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 5: himself in an unbelievable shape. He really probably would only

491
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 5: need a couple of weeks to get into game shape,

492
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 5: game game ready. So the only way it would happen

493
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 5: is if the Wild really had injuries or poor performance

494
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 5: by one of their two goaltenders. So you know, I

495
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 5: think still it's probably a long shot. But look, to

496
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: answer your first question, you know, he might not be

497
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: in the locker room every second, but he is around

498
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 5: every day. He's come to every single day of training

499
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 5: camp so far, other than the two days that he

500
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 5: was in Pittsburgh for the for the big reunion there.

501
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 5: He is going on the ice almost every morning with

502
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 5: the injured guys, take shots from them. So you know

503
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: he's he's still around. You know, he's still playing pranks

504
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 5: and all that stuff. His or is going to be

505
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 5: here for a while. You know, as as I mentioned

506
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: when he first got here, he's building his dream home,

507
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: retirement home in Vegas, and before it was even done

508
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: he sold it. And now he's staying here full time.

509
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 5: Kids are here in school, all that stuff. So he is,

510
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 5: he's in Minnesota now and and you know he'll be

511
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 5: around this organization for a long long time.

512
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Those hockey players love to raise their kids here in Minnesota.

513
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: You ever notice that? Yeah?

514
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely? I mean so, you know what, what wouldn't you

515
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 5: like about it? You know, you got John Krasinski here,

516
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 5: you got the accent. You know, we all of us transplants.

517
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: Love many Yes. I want to ask you about Vladimir Tarasenko, right,

518
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of questions about him when

519
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: when the Wild made the trade. With the trade, now

520
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: that you've seen him in a Wild uniform and training

521
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: camp and a couple of pre season games, Uh, what

522
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: is your expectation for Tarasenko this season?

523
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 5: You know, I think that my expectation is for him

524
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 5: to get twenty five goals or so. Whether he does

525
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: that will depend on a lot of things. One, you know,

526
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: can they find a winner that really helps produce On

527
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 5: the other side, to this point, we haven't seen it.

528
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 5: I think you're off is getting another look there tonight

529
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: in Chicago Ogre and had a look earlier in camp.

530
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 5: The two of them have produced in practice, but we

531
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: haven't seen it in games yet. But Tarasenko in his

532
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 5: first two preseason games was not very good at all,

533
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 5: and so and I don't really remember any scoring chances. So,

534
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 5: you know, I think that if he wants to resurrect

535
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 5: himself and get a contract past the season, he's gonna

536
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 5: need to play much much better than than he has

537
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 5: so far. But the one thing I'll say is that

538
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 5: for the most part, veterans don't love playing in the preseason,

539
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 5: so I don't think that that's really indicative yet of

540
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 5: what we're going to see. And so I still from

541
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 5: what I've seen so far, and actually at eleven am

542
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 5: as opposed to seven PM, I really like what I

543
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 5: see from him so far. He's coming in great shape,

544
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: he's coming with a great attitude. He's you know, really

545
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 5: embraced being a mentor to guys like you're off. So

546
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 5: I really do like what I've seen from him before

547
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 5: the games. Now it's a matter of getting him into

548
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 5: the games. And uh, we'll see his first game with

549
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 5: the Minnesota Wild. It's gonna be in Saint Louis. You

550
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 5: know it's gonna be extremely motivated to play that game.

551
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 5: So I still believe that for a guy that's motivated

552
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 5: to get a contract pass this year, that we're going

553
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 5: to see the best of him this year.

554
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: All Right, I want you to give me a percent chance

555
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: that you're Off is on the opening night roster, and

556
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: a percent chance that Ogrin is on the opening night roster.

557
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 5: I think it's one hundred and one hundred. Oh really,

558
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 5: barring injury tonight in Chicago. I think both guys make it.

559
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: By the way, you can't say I think it's one hundred.

560
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: If it's a hundred done, you know, yeah, okay, thank you.

561
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

562
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: I think he I think they're both on the team.

563
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 5: That's the expectation from inside the Wild. Look, Tyler Pittlick.

564
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 5: At some point here in the next couple of days. Again,

565
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 5: everything's barring injury tonight, right, he's gonna be put on waivers.

566
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 5: I think the bigger, most interesting question is Hunter hate

567
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 5: versus Vinnie henats Strozen. I think that ear Off is

568
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 5: on this team. I mean the second they got rid

569
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 5: of Brettleson on the PTO who did nothing in camp,

570
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 5: you just knew that Ogrin and you're off, We're gonna

571
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 5: make it. And now the question is what do they

572
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 5: decide as a thirteenth forward. Do they want the young

573
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 5: kid but maybe not playing, or do you want just

574
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 5: the veteran not slide them through waivers, maybe start hunting

575
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 5: the miners and kind of slow play that Hunter has

576
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 5: looked great in camp. Vinnie started off really good. I

577
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 5: think he's tailed off a little bit, so we'll see.

578
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 5: To me, that's the bigger thing. Then tonight they you know,

579
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 5: today they grab Damon Hunt off waivers, they'd let Jack

580
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 5: Johnson on the PTO go and that what that tells

581
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 5: me is they know that Jonas berdem probably is not

582
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 5: going to start the season healthy. And then it's just

583
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: a matter of okay, you have Hunts ass insurance if

584
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 5: you're a check in boy, and both make it assumingly.

585
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 5: And then once Brodian's back, what do they do with Hunt?

586
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 5: Do they keep eight defenseman or do they try to

587
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 5: put you know, do they put your check down on

588
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 5: the miners or do they put Hunt back on waivers

589
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 5: and then give Columbus a chance to take them back.

590
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 5: And then if Columbus takes them back and nobody else

591
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 5: puts in a waiver plan, they could actually put them

592
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 5: right to the miners. They'd be the only team that

593
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 5: would be allowed that. So, you know, Damon Hunts got

594
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 5: claimed today. It doesn't mean that he's going to be

595
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 5: here forever. Let's put that way.

596
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: I do find it funny though, that a lot of

597
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: people there were I shouldn't say lot pop there were

598
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: some people that were upset about Damon hunt being included

599
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: in that year check traate and now he's technically back

600
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: on the roster here less than a year later.

601
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know what I mean, he's a good player.

602
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 5: He had a really good camp. I talked to them

603
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 5: the last couple of days actually, because I kind of

604
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 5: saw this coming. He had a really good camp at Columbus.

605
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 5: But they had, you know, like the same problem here

606
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 5: is that he had seven one way contracts in front

607
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 5: of them, and they didn't want to keep eight d

608
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 5: so they try to slide him through waivers and obviously

609
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 5: it didn't work.

610
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Back to Europ specifically, right, he was kind of the

611
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: little bit of the mystery. We've seen a little bit

612
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: of ogrin. He was in Iowa last year, you're playing

613
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: in Russia. It seems like sometimes we just we don't

614
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: have access to being able to watch them at all

615
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: and don't have as much contact with them. So from

616
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: what little you've seen here of eurov and you say

617
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: he's one hundred percent chance to make on the roster,

618
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: what have you liked and disliked about his game thus far?

619
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 5: You know, there's very little that dislike. The one thing

620
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 5: I will say is that he's just gotten progressively better

621
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 5: throughout camp. Even the areas that they've really were a

622
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 5: little concerned about were puck battles in the corners, things

623
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 5: that maybe he didn't have to do a lot of

624
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 5: in the KHL. He's just slowly worked on that. And

625
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: the other night in his last game against Winnipeg, I

626
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 5: thought that he was coming away with pucks, not getting

627
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 5: knocked off pucks, all that stuff. It's going to be

628
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: a work in progress for a twenty one year old

629
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 5: that's never played North American pro hockey, he has not

630
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 5: produced yet. But the one thing about him is defensively,

631
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 5: he is trustworthy. We saw him out there on the

632
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: five on six the other night. He doesn't cheat the

633
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 5: game at all. So he looks to me like he's

634
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 5: going to be a really solid two way forward in

635
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 5: the NHL, maybe a middle six guy. I don't think

636
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 5: he's got the so far. I haven't seen the flashes

637
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 5: that make him look like he's going to be a

638
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 5: true top liner. But I really like what I see,

639
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 5: and again he's twenty one. I think the production will

640
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 5: come with time. You know, people always forget Miko Koivu

641
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 5: his first year, played on the fourth line, scored five goals,

642
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 5: didn't have a goal from like December fifteenth until like

643
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 5: the last game of the season. His rookie year. He's

644
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 5: playing with guys like Derek Buguard and Kyle Wean vig

645
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 5: Wan Veg his first year, So I were well and

646
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 5: bring yeah, I mean exactly, there's a good example. So

647
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 5: it doesn't come right away. And Nko is a great

648
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 5: example because he's the all time leading scorer in wild history.

649
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 5: And you know, here's a guy that scored you know,

650
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 5: minuscule points his first year and he was two three

651
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 5: years older than Danello. You're off is so I think

652
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 5: the production will come, but he doesn't hurt you. The

653
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 5: one player that I'd love to see more of is

654
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 5: Liam Ober and you know he's got this NHL shot.

655
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 5: But we just haven't seen him finish so far in camp.

656
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 5: The other night in again it was I believe it

657
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 5: was the Winnipeg game or was the game before that,

658
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 5: he had three great a chances on the power play,

659
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 5: wasn't able to finish. You just want to see him

660
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 5: at some point start producing. Just you know, again, he's

661
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 5: also only twenty one years old, but you know, this

662
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 5: is somebody that's played North American pro hockey. Had a

663
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: bun you know, looked to me in Iowa last year,

664
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 5: really took a step from a point production standpoint. So far,

665
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 5: we haven't seen that yet in the preseason.

666
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: A couple more questions from Michael Russo of the Athletic.

667
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: The Wild take on the Blackhawks to night in Chicago

668
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: for their final preseason game. Michael, will this be the

669
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: year that we finally have a competent penalty kill?

670
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 5: You know, I'm doing a big story on brock Favor

671
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 5: for Monday's Athletic. Can we talk a lot about the

672
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 5: penalty kill in there? I think that's the hope. I

673
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 5: think it's really cool that Matt Boldie, remember Mitt Boldie,

674
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 5: what two or three days in the camp last year,

675
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 5: The goal was hint for him to be on the

676
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 5: penalty kill all year long, but he broke his foot,

677
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 5: didn't play another minute in the rest of the preseason,

678
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 5: and so because that, they essentially didn't put him on

679
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 5: the PK because he was even though he was in

680
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 5: the meetings, he got no reps and things like that,

681
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 5: and we really didn't see it until after the trade deadline,

682
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 5: and he was outstanding. He's looked incredible on the penalty

683
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 5: kill so far throughout camp. You know, they're adding guys

684
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 5: like year Off on the penalty kill. Rossi's been great

685
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 5: on the penalty kill. So I think that that is

686
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 5: the hope now, is that we're going to start to

687
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 5: see a much much better penalty kill. They've changed some

688
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 5: of their tactics, but it's got to be much much better.

689
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 5: It's amazing that they made the playoffs last year with

690
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: a penalty kill, as god awful as it was, and

691
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 5: it was actually essentially worse than it was two years ago.

692
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: And remember the whole point of training camp last year,

693
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 5: or the beginning the theme of training camp was to

694
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 5: fix the PK and it just never came into fruition. So,

695
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 5: you know, they got off to a great start last

696
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 5: year in spite of it, and and I think the

697
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 5: goal is obviously to fix that, and maybe you know,

698
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 5: having threats like Goldie out there could help them.

699
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, last year there was a stretch where I

700
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: think Wild fans were probably ready to move on from

701
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Harton and maybe maybe members of the front office

702
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: for as well, when you know, just just kind of

703
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: dumb penalties in the upportune times, is suspended, not available

704
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: for games, and then he comes out and was one

705
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: of your best players in the playoffs and the main

706
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: reason Marco Rossi was sent down to the fourth line.

707
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: Do you think, from what you've seen of Hartman so far,

708
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: has the light bulb come on, like can this playoff

709
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: performance carry over moving forward or do you still have

710
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: worries about him and his consistency moving forward?

711
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think it's two different questions. One

712
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 5: the discipline and two the light bulb and him reverting

713
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 5: to the way he was three or four years ago

714
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 5: when he scored thirty four goals. You know, the one

715
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 5: thing about Ryan is that you never like, it's kind

716
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: of similar to Matt Cook, like, I'm never going to

717
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 5: just say the light bulbs come on from a discipline

718
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: standpoint and he's just not going to do something stupid

719
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 5: on the ice. I mean, you know, last year, he

720
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: knows what his history is. And last year he still

721
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 5: was a you know over and almost got a ten

722
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 5: game suspension. It was lowered to eight after a grievance

723
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 5: was filed or an appeal was filed. But as to

724
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 5: your point, at that point, management wanted to shoot him

725
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 5: to the sun, and it looked like a aforementioned like

726
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 5: it was guaranteed that they were going to get rid

727
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 5: of him. And then he was just unbelievable in the

728
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: playoffs and that changed absolutely everything in terms of the narrative.

729
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 5: So in terms of the discipline, he like, he's always

730
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 5: going to play the game on an edge, so he's

731
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 5: always at a risk of probably crossing the line. I

732
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 5: think that he knows that he's got to tone that

733
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 5: down because he is a marked man by the Department

734
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 5: of Player Safety in terms of the way that he

735
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 5: played in the playoffs. That is what he is supposed

736
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 5: to look like he has. That's why he's earned such

737
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 5: a long tenure here in Minnesota because that's really the

738
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 5: real Ryan Hartman. And so if he could center this

739
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 5: third line like he has so far, in camp where

740
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 5: I think he's looked outstanding. I think that he is

741
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 5: going to really add a lot to this team. He's

742
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: also somebody that we have seen is able to move

743
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 5: up if there's a chance that maybe Eck needs to

744
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 5: get off that second line or the first line, or

745
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 5: we'll see. So he's coming in great shape, Tanna, and

746
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 5: I just think that he's gonna really have a good season.

747
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,479
Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael. Look forward to reading all your stuff

748
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,279
