I 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: remember we had the conversation of what house you would 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: be in? That's that's we did have that conversation. 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire opened in theaters 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 3: twenty years ago today, November eighteen, twenty years ago today. 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 2: It's one of my favorites. 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 3: I'm with you, it's not my favor I never thought 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: I was never you know, Dragon's guy. It was everyone 14 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 3: was like, oh, come on, no, but I and a 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: lot of it has to do with the kid, obviously, 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 3: but I I could watch those films over and over again, endlessly, 17 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: almost on a loop. 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: Sometimes I end up doing exactly that usually surround this 19 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 2: time of year. So now that's true. Christmas e time, 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: that's true. 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: And then they're also I think it's gonna start, is 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: it in the spring, or whether there's there's a you know, 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: a new version where they're doing a series like I don't. 24 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: Know if it's Netflix, Apple or HBO? Is it HBO? Okay, 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: when's that supposed to drop? We sure, but we have 26 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: like castings. You can go in and see who's hairy. 27 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's gonna be Yeah, it's gonna be tough 28 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: to match what they did, but I understand why they 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: would want to try. 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: What do we got. 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: Time now for the obligatory Kevin Faulness Minnesota wild mentioned. 32 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: And Wilder on a roll. Corella Harr's in back to 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: Poldia try tipped why by art second? Frock fifteen seconds 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: to go in overtime? So Corella up top, Boldie one touchback, 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: Superelo process. 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 4: Caprices do it over time. 37 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: They're definitely on a roll. It's the thing I warn 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: you about though, when you get behind in this league. 39 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: Plenty of hockey left to play. We're not even to 40 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: the new year mark, but it's hard to climb in 41 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 2: this league just by the nature of the point. So 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: the while they have to keep it up. Some line news, 43 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: My guy Danila Yurov is gonna get his big shot tomorrow. 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: You're excited about the top line, I'm fired up about it. 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: He gets to set, are they going to give him 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: more than five minutes? Well, that's exactly what I was 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: gonna say. If he struggles early, I really really really 48 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 2: don't want this to be a you give him two shifts. 49 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: Well they didn't produce. So Ryan Hartman, welcome back aboard. 50 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: I would like to see this whole game go through 51 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: and see what happens, and I would like multiple games. 52 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: But e'rerov Center's Caprice Off Zucarello that starts later on. 53 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: We'll talk to Louis in more detail about it. That shot, 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: to me, one of the most dangerous things about a 55 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: capriso is I feel like he's all ready in the 56 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: act of shooting at just as the puck arrives. 57 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: That's how fast, and it's off of his stick and 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: into the net. I think that's one of his underrated skills, 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 3: is the the you know, the quickness with which he 60 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: gets the shot off and they take care of business. Now, 61 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 3: did did the opponent get jobbed on the call that 62 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: gave us the extra skater in ot? 63 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you make of that? 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: Was it TICKI taki? Yeah, a little bit, but they 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 2: were calling it that way all games. You're saying, okay, so, 66 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: but it was take I would have been upsetifyed with 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: them Wolves. They had a very impressive win against let's 68 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: see the Mavericks ninety six. They get the Wizards tomorrow 69 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: at Target Center. Your thoughts. 70 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: Jaden McDaniels now listed as questionable for tomorrow's game with 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: a wrist. Don't know much about that. Don't even remember 72 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: any particular play in the in the game. As we 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 3: talked about earlier, they are in a good mode of 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: taking out the teams they're supposed to take. The Mavericks 75 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: are a mess. They've got about eight people out hurt. 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: Their offense is a disaster and right now, and Minnesota 77 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: took full advantage of it from almost the beginning of 78 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 3: the game. I think the Wolves are sitting at nine 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: to five. 80 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: At this point. 81 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 3: But again, you're you're you're going to have to start occasionally, 82 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 3: you know, beating better teams. 83 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 5: Now. 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: The next game, that was the first game back when 85 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: Edwards was just coming back from injury. Maybe that's part 86 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: of the story. By the way, tom Creen is scheduled 87 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 3: to join us tomorrow at three fifteen. He's just been 88 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: in town for some games. I think now he's back 89 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 3: at home in Florida, but he's going to give us 90 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: some of his wit and wisdom at three fifteen tomorrow. 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: But they're offensively, they look very good, and they're again 92 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: Historically this team has tended to let inferior teams hang. 93 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: I don't even know would have been impossible to let 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: Dallas hang. They're such a mess right now with so 95 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: many people out hurt. But they're putting teams out of 96 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: their misd read more quickly. That's the first step in 97 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 3: wherever they intend to go, and I know they obviously 98 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: intend to try to go to some place far away 99 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: past the conference finals. 100 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: You mentioned McDaniel's questionable with a left wrist, brain available, 101 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: Dante DiVincenzo face mask he will probably be wearing, but 102 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: at least you know he's playing out Freeman Shannon Jr. 103 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna go with Zakarski. That's good enough for me. 104 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: We'll go. Did you watch Monday Night Football? And if 105 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: you did, I'm sorry. I didn't watch a lot of it, man, 106 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: I I didn't. I And I'm one of those guys 107 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: who love Pete Carroll being back in the league. But 108 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: maybe the Raiders are beyond even his coaching expertise at 109 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: this point, because they're just I mean it, I know 110 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: what Tom Brady's gonna do, but it looks like they're 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: going to have to do something fairly, fairly drastic. And 112 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: who's the veteran quarterback starter for them? And Gino? Yeah, Gino. 113 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 3: I know people kind of celebrated his resurrection a year ago, 114 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: but I he looks pretty done to me. I they 115 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: just look like they need so much help at so 116 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: many places. And you know, Dallas offensively actually looks quite good. 117 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 3: Whether they're capable again, same thing of beating better teams, 118 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: I you know, I don't know, but it was. 119 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: It was a very blog game for a Monday nighter 120 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: for sure. It feels like football is the hardest to 121 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: get out of the basement. It just takes. It just 122 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: takes a lot of players, There's no question. An interesting 123 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 2: note out of My Night Football, though, is that Ceedee 124 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: Lamb and George Pickens were kept on the bench for 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 2: the first series of Monday Nights. You know, their thirty 126 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: three sixteen wins. Yes, apparently this is quote from Schottenheimer. 127 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: There are some things that were missed, so a conversation 128 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 2: with those guys. So had a conversation with those guys 129 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: and that was easy. Oh oh boy, big slap on 130 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: the wrist. Things were missed, so they get to sit 131 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 2: out one series. 132 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: It's quite a powerful punishment and really laying the hammer down. Yeah, 133 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 3: I guess that does fall into the classification of why 134 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: even bother who got just got suspended for a game 135 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: for spitting on an opponent? 136 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: Chase? Yeah, the game right, And I. 137 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: Think it's basically essentially it's a it's a five hundred 138 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: thousand dollars loss to him. That's the second spinning incident 139 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: we've had. What's going on with the spinning? Is that 140 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: making a comeback or are we just noticing it more 141 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: because the video. I don't have any idea. 142 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: It's very odd. There's cameras everywhere. Yeah, that's true. Sam. 143 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: Chase is appealing the suspension. Someone told Chefty the appeal 144 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: will be hurt and ruled by what do you appeal? 145 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: Isn't it on? Isn't he on? Isn't he shown spitting? 146 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: Or am I wrong? And he said postgame he didn't spit. 147 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: The footage clearly shows him spit, So yeah, that's that's 148 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: a I think most of us will agree that's a 149 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: bridge too far. Whatever you feel like, however you feel 150 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: like you're being transgressed, Uh, it is worth noting. And 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: maybe we'll do this at five fifteen, because Louis, I 152 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: don't think it's so five thirty. We haven't talked about 153 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: the latest Draymond Green incident with a fan that. 154 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: Is rather curious, not surprising in his case, but rather curious. 155 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 3: So maybe we will indeed save that. 156 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: I guess I'm doing my best four letter Network impersonation 157 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: because I've talked about the Cowboys and now we go here. 158 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: Lebron is reportedly aiming to return tonight against the Jazz. 159 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: According to Shams, does this move the meter for you 160 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: at all, that Lebron is finally back? 161 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: Well, I think, you know, I mean, it's good to 162 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: have him back. I mean the Lakers are actually played well, 163 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: they've got a decent record without him. But I mean 164 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: he can as far as we know, he can still play, right, 165 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's a I'm curious to see. 166 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: I don't view the Lakers as a contender by any means, 167 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: but and we all assume this is going to be 168 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 3: his last year. 169 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean he's missed. How long has this 170 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: season going on? Close to a month right now. 171 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: On the other hand, you say, when you're that age, 172 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 3: I think a certain measure of load management is understandable. 173 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: I'm less offended by load management when it's somebody who's 174 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 3: in his forties and has put in a lot of 175 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: mileage in a lot of time than it is when it's, 176 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 3: you know, somebody twenty seven years old or thirty years old, 177 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: or whatever the case may be. 178 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 2: One more clickie. It sounds like Aaron Rodgers is gonna 179 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: miss surgery, So now it's kind of Tomin didn't rule 180 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 2: out Aaron Rodgers for the game against the Bears. The 181 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 2: status will determined later this week, so he avoids injury 182 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: and avoids surgery to that left wrist. 183 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 3: Ay, rog, did you say they're playing the Bears this week? Yes, yeah, 184 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 3: that's what I thought. 185 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: And where is that game? 186 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 5: Do we know? 187 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: Good question? I don't know. 188 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 3: Bears are about to embark upon a much tougher part 189 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: of their schedule. Okay, they've got a lot of division 190 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: games coming. I think they got the Lions and so 191 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: I still can't imagine that at any point this season 192 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: they'd be in first place and that, which is what 193 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 3: they are for the moment after the Lions disappointing performance 194 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: over the weekend. 195 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: So a Roge, how do we evaluate how he's played 196 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: this year? Great? 197 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: I think serviceably though they've done They've handled him right 198 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 3: where they're not asking me to do too much, they're 199 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 3: not asking me, and he's he's doing a lot of 200 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 3: short passes. If you like short passes, a Roger is 201 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: pretty much your guy. So that's okay for me. 202 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 2: I have it there. It is no bonus bucks. 203 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 3: I don't believe this week we'll get to that Draymond 204 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 3: story and a couple of other texts in just a 205 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: matter of minutes and then Luigi, as I said at 206 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: five thirty, Good. 207 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: The Fan welcomes Trans Siberian Orchestra for two amazing shows 208 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 2: at Target Center December twenty eighth, three and seven thirty pm. 209 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 2: Tickets on sale now.

Keep we're calending. 211 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: We've talked over the years about fan deportment and what 212 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: is how far? What is the line when it comes 213 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: to heckling of players and or coaches, but but usually players, 214 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: and there's I think, well, I'd like to think there's 215 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: a consensus on this that if you get into language, 216 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: and if you get into race, you're getting if you're misogynistic, 217 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 3: the whole bit. There's not a lot of negotiation that 218 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 3: needs to go on the team or I guess security 219 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: can boot that individual pretty simply and pretty easily, and 220 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 3: that up up to that point. You pay your ticket 221 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: and you can get you know, pretty harsh from time 222 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: to time. And the story, I guess the debate has 223 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: come up again because of the news surrounding a confrontation 224 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: between Draymond Green and a fan. 225 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: This was in New Orleans. 226 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 3: The Warriors were playing the Pelicans, who were a mess 227 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: by the way, And what's interesting is that in this case, well, 228 00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 3: let me back up and give you a little more 229 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 3: detail if you're not all that familiar with the story. 230 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: I think this was Sunday. 231 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: So the fan who was I believe seated, is it baseline, 232 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 3: it's definitely front row was chanting at Draymond. Angel Reese 233 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: kept us invoking the name of Angel Reese, the WNBA player, 234 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: and at one point Draymond then walks up over to 235 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: him and kind of gets in his face. Now, there 236 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 3: was nothing physical between the two. They both handled that 237 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 3: part of it. Well, there was a security person over there. 238 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: I don't believe the fan was thrown out, and Draymond 239 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: kind of misled a little bit the confrontation because when 240 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: he talked about it after the game, all he said 241 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: was he just kept calling me a woman. It was 242 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: a good joke at first, but keep calling me a woman. Well, 243 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: what he can left out was that he was this 244 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 3: fan was referring to a specific woman in this case, 245 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 3: as we said of Angel Reese, and the bit was 246 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: you can decide for yourself whether this is clever, or 247 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: whether this is worth the trouble, or how far do 248 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: you go with it. Green had missed five straight shots, 249 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 3: and he'd rebounded the first four of those misses, so, 250 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: you know, kind of the joke among you know, Angel 251 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 3: WNA fans and I Angel Reese is can't shoot, but 252 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: really good about grabbing your own rebounds. Right, That's the 253 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: bit for whatever it's worth. And ultimately, the NBA has 254 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: apparently warned Draymond Green, although they haven't find him, so 255 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: I what the warning entailed, I'm not exactly sure. I 256 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: don't know if I've see if there's even any d 257 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: details that are being offered, But the stories I'm looking 258 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 3: at just notes that the NBA has warned Green. Presumably 259 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: it would be you don't get you should not confront 260 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 3: if indeed that was the exchange, and I tend to agree. 261 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: Now part of this is it's Draymond. So because it's 262 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: Draymond Green, it's hard to give him the benefit of 263 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: the doubt because of how often he goes off to 264 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 3: the to the extent that he does, and for that reason, 265 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: it's like I said, you just sort of shake your 266 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 3: head and you go, Draymond, Okay, here we go again. 267 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: And because Draymond has the you know, these illusions that 268 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: he's perfectly capable of handling himself and he's not frustrated 269 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 3: when a lot of the things he's done has been 270 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: related to frustrations on the court, things not going his 271 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: way on the court, et cetera. After the game, Green 272 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: commended the referee, Courtney Kirkland for handling the interaction. 273 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 5: I got it. 274 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: I've heard him over and over again. You handled it well. 275 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: Don't get yourself in trouble. No trouble, I'll take care 276 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: of it. That's what Draymond claimed that Kirkland told him. 277 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 3: Now again, I don't know what Kirkland said to the fan. 278 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 3: The fans name is Sam Green, a Pelicans fan, and 279 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 3: he's quoted in an Associated Press piece about, you know, 280 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 3: when he went with the with the the chant that 281 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 3: he did, and the sequencing of it as well. But 282 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: I don't believe he was thrown out of the game. 283 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: I don't think he should have been thrown out of 284 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: the game. Would I've done it, probably not. But I 285 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: don't think this is you know, we we got to 286 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: be careful because I think what's happened is the trend 287 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: has been you quote players and. 288 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: You say, well, there's only so far. 289 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: You know, the players should not have to stand for 290 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 3: certain things, and so the benefit of the doubt has 291 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: tended to go towards the player. I get that to 292 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: a degree, but I think each case has to be 293 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 3: examined individually, and I don't think that means automatically we 294 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 3: have to assume that the that the fan, you know, 295 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: stepped over the line, and in this case, I'm not 296 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 3: sure that that that fan did. The dangerous thing, obviously, 297 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 3: is because of the proximity of the court. 298 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: It's the way basketball is set up. You're worried. 299 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 3: You have the concern, the obvious concern about it escalating 300 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 3: about well, what if the fan is not as cool 301 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: as this guy was and decides to shove Draymond. And 302 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: that's I'm sure largely why the NBA says you can't 303 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: be going over there, especially when in this case there 304 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be any indication that there were any 305 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 3: racist talents involved or anything like that. We can talk 306 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: about whether it's sexist to name a female athlete. In 307 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: this case, it was about what her game represents that 308 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 3: he's playing off of. 309 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: It's as simple as that. 310 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: But you know, Draymond has a way despite his history 311 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: of making these stories about him trying to stand tall 312 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: and him actually being more mature and and and trying to. 313 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: You know, reason through these things. 314 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: We have pretty good experience here knowing that there are 315 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: times where reason has nothing to do. As good a 316 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 3: basketball player as Draymond Green is with his approach, you know, 317 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: with the way he goes about his business. So uh, 318 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: I I'm actually encouraged at the NBA. Now, I don't 319 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 3: know if a fine was necessary, and in this case, 320 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 3: they didn't find the player, and I'd be curious to 321 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 3: know exactly what the warning was. But I'm glad that 322 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 3: the I don't think in this case the player or 323 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 3: the fan has lost his seats or it rises to 324 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: that level. Often it does, and then it should be easy. 325 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 3: You're you're done, you're banned from this arena, you're banned 326 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 3: for a year, whatever the case may be. But in 327 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 3: this case, I, you know, I just don't think there's 328 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 3: anything here that is worthy of the danger that's that's 329 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 3: that that the dangerous door that's opened when a player 330 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 3: then decides to get in the face of that individual. 331 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 3: Westbrook's done this a few times too, and it's become 332 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 3: it's too easy to put all of it, I think 333 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: on the fan again, depending on exactly what the fan 334 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 3: said this to me. I think the league sent a 335 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 3: good message here where they're not taking it out in 336 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 3: the fan. They're not suggesting that the fan really did anything, 337 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 3: or at least they're saying, no matter what line he 338 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: came up to, if you get in his face, we 339 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 3: can't allow it because that is asking for difficulty and 340 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 3: the possibility of escalation, and that's what, obviously you are 341 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: trying to avoid, and of all people to seem or 342 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 3: sound wronged it's admittedly I think should be tougher to 343 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 3: stomach it when it comes from Draymond Green. We've laid 344 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: out the litany of stories in his case, the degree 345 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 3: to which his head coaches had to hold his nose 346 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 3: because Green's a very good player. But the fact is 347 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: his history as in terms of not controlling his emotions, 348 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 3: as I think, kind of speaks for pretty much speaks 349 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 3: for itself. If you have questions for Louis, If if 350 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 3: you have questions for Luigi, perfect time to hit the 351 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 3: bratch on brian canfan text line.

You may have travel questions. 359 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 3: Luigi's very good at that because no one travels the 360 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: globe quite like Luigi.

Yes, we're 380 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 5: gonna have any problems. The regional stuff that had a 381 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 5: lot of problems. Unfortunately for me it wasn't regional, so. 382 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 2: We had definitely not That's good. 383 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: All right, let's get this out of the way, because 384 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: among the questions that have come in, uh, there's this one. 385 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 3: This one definitely got my attention from the bratch on 386 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: Bryant k f A N text line. Louise, what are 387 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: Lewis thoughts on JJ McCarthy. Everybody is talking about the 388 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy story. Luigi what what what would you like 389 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: to add to the equation. 390 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 5: Well, everybody gets frustrated, you know when you lose, and 391 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 5: I can understand why, and and you see flashes of 392 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 5: really high talent and then you see mistakes and you're 393 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 5: hopeful that the mistakes are just mistakes of youth and 394 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 5: rookies only had five games, and you have to say 395 00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 5: that what worries means more than the mistakes is the 396 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 5: field for the game. Yeah, and I see that because 397 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: you know the one thing about great quarterbacks, you know 398 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 5: how to when they have to pass the ball, the 399 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 5: football hard or different speed, you know, different speeds, and 400 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 5: I haven't seen him do that. That's the one thing 401 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 5: that I get surprised about, because he can already fire 402 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 5: it and sometimes guys only fifteen yards away from him 403 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 5: and puts it right through his hands. It's the field 404 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 5: that bothers me more than anything else, because he does, 405 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 5: have no doubt, he's got great arm strength and he 406 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 5: can already throw a ball and he can run with 407 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 5: the ball. It's always the field for the game, like 408 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 5: when should I run or not run? When should I 409 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 5: throw a soft pass or not soft pass? And you 410 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 5: want to attribute that to being a rookie, but it's 411 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 5: still when you have a field for the game. Even 412 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: as a rookie, sometimes some of those mistakes don't show up. 413 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, we were talking much earlier in the show. 414 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: Right off the top of the program. 415 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 3: A good example of exactly what you're talking talking about 416 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 3: was same scenario twenty years twenty five years ago. Now, 417 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 3: second year quarterback who did not play in his first 418 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: year after being drafted high by the Vikings, Dante Culpepper. 419 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: From the beginning he showed that feel. Now, he wasn't perfect. 420 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 3: He threw some I think sixteen interceptions his first season. 421 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: They also threw thirty two touchdowns, ran very well and 422 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 3: had a great feel. We were talking about that with 423 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 3: Chris Carter yesterday, and I think you raise an important 424 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 3: point because feel, you know, one thing is you know 425 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 3: fundamentals and footwork, and those things can be worked on 426 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: and improved, but feel is one of those deals. 427 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: You either got it or you don't. 428 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 3: To a certain extent, I think and that why is 429 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 3: why I think you raise a fair point that that's 430 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 3: the bigger thing to watch, the bigger concern, because feel 431 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: is more than just mechanics. 432 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 5: It is, and the great players had that in all sports. Yep, 433 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 5: you can call it fields. Sometimes you know, it's just 434 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 5: a perception that hits the anti patient, but it's just 435 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 5: an awareness in the game of how you should be 436 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 5: playing the game. And there's a lot of things that 437 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 5: go into that field, but those are probably the most 438 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 5: important things because that gives you, that gives you extra 439 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 5: time to do what you want to do. When you 440 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 5: understand the game pretty well, you don't feel as rushed. 441 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 5: The great players never feel rushed as an ordinary player. 442 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: And that's part of the field for the game. And 443 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 5: that's what I'm getting to about McCarthy, and that's what 444 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 5: you'd like to see. If you see the feel there, 445 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 5: and you're still going to make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes, 446 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 5: but you're going to be able to learn from those 447 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 5: mistakes make them less. But you have a better chance 448 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 5: of that coming quickly when you've got a better feel 449 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 5: for the game. 450 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about your favorite hockey team, the 451 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 2: Wild Are we starting as as this club starting to. 452 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 5: Figure it out, do you think, well, they're figuring it 453 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 5: out the way they're playing. Unfortunately, they now run into 454 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 5: another rash of injuries and then yeah, it's you know, 455 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 5: it's gott to worry and you start getting four guys 456 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 5: out of the lineup. It's not that the lineup so 457 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 5: deep that they can afford those kind of losses. Fortunately, 458 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 5: Wolfstead's been leading away and then Guss came back with 459 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 5: another good game, and so they're not giving up more 460 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 5: than two goals and that's given a chance to win 461 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 5: all the time. It is difficult to get to three 462 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 5: goals for them, but they haven't able to do that, 463 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 5: and you see going six to one and one. And 464 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 5: the good thing about it, when you start winning like that, 465 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 5: you start feeling you're going to win, and you're you're 466 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 5: you're playing with much more confidence and you're playing much 467 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 5: more freely, and and that's what they're doing. It's going 468 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 5: to be interesting to see when there if it works 469 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 5: out this way, because both Rossi and Hartman being out, 470 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 5: that looks like E'rerope might get a chance to go 471 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: on that first line. I know it's going to be 472 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 5: different for them, but I like that. I like the 473 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 5: fact that he's getting a chance to play with two 474 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 5: very clever players because I like Europe. Maybe I like 475 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 5: Europe more than they liked him, because I didn't even 476 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 5: want him to sit out a couple of games. If 477 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 5: they've set him out, I think that he's he's finding 478 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 5: in his way, but he's finding his way quick enough 479 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 5: where he looks like he's always involved on the ice. 480 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: He works hard, he works deep. When he's playing center, 481 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 5: he helps so down low, which I like a lot. 482 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 5: And then he's got a couple of goals, and he's 483 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 5: scrappy around the net. He he's not afraid to get 484 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 5: in front of the net and fight for puck. Say, 485 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 5: I like a lot of things about him. I think that, 486 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 5: you know, he's just got to play more, and when 487 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 5: he plays with better players like this, I'm going to 488 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 5: be interested to see if he can produce even more. 489 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 5: Although you know, you got to be happy what he's 490 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 5: done this far. 491 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: I got him with thirteen in terms of goals, giving 492 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 3: up thirteen in the last eight games, and to me 493 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 3: that it starts there, because as we talked early in 494 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 3: the season, they were routinely giving up four or five 495 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 3: six goals a game early and you know it's true 496 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: of any team, but certainly I think this team that's not, 497 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 3: you know, blessed with four lines of great offensive talent. 498 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: The basics you got to take care of, and that 499 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 3: is you got to be a combination of good defensively 500 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: in front of the net and with the goaltender as well. 501 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 3: And that's where this thing starts to me, is there 502 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 3: they're just simply not giving up the number of goals 503 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: that they were earlier in the season. 504 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 5: That's so true, and that's the reason why they're winning. 505 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 5: It was scary early on. You're right. I think they 506 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 5: had about four or five games stretch for the average 507 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 5: about five guys and you're not going to beat anybody 508 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 5: playing like that. And and to say, okay, that's not them, 509 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 5: but a long way down from five to two that 510 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 5: you have to cut three goals off a game, and 511 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 5: they've been able to do that, which really gives you 512 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 5: a good feeling about the way they're playing right now. 513 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 5: And they they were actually was scary the way they 514 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 5: were playing that in that stretch because even though you 515 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 5: start seeing it's early in the season, you're losing two 516 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 5: points and all of a sudden five games at ten points, 517 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 5: and you know, teams don't make up ten points that easily, 518 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 5: and so they were putting themselves in a bad position 519 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 5: and they snapped out of it and left, you know, 520 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 5: the six one on one left the games. That's really good. 521 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 5: And now the one thing about it, you know, it's 522 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 5: making them feel better about themselves. They're feeling more confident. 523 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 5: Unfortunately for them, they get a real good Carolina team 524 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 5: to come in and play against them when they're going 525 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 5: to be maybe foreman out of the lineup because Carolina 526 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: is a real well coached team. They're a fast team. 527 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 5: They're not overly physical, that's a good part about it, 528 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 5: but they do check well. Even though they're not physical. 529 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 5: They use their bodies well and they can score goals. 530 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 5: And they got two great players. You know, always a 531 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 5: terrific player there. Jarvis has been a good scorer. Jordan 532 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 5: Stall has always been a great checker. Their defense is mobile, big, 533 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 5: and they move the puck so right now, whether they 534 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 5: like it or not, I think their weakness is still 535 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 5: in goal. I haven't seen their goaltending really be the 536 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 5: reason why they win games this year. And so I 537 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 5: think that the Wild got a chances to get opportunities 538 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 5: and get in front of the net and fight for 539 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 5: pucks and get some rebounds or screens there. 540 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: N guy texted this much earlier in the show. He writes, 541 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 3: iHeart radio is coming in loud and clear from the 542 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 3: beach in MAUI ask Louis, who should be our number 543 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: one goaltender? 544 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 5: Well, you know we're not that far in the season 545 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 5: where you go number one. The number one guy's got 546 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 5: to be the guy that's playing the best, right Donalds 547 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 5: Wallstead and I think that no matter who's number one, 548 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 5: you don't want to get the number two guy out 549 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 5: for six seventy eight games. You want to get him 550 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 5: in there every fifth game, but i'd see preferably every 551 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 5: third or fourth game, and just to keep them sharp 552 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 5: in case the number one goes flat on you. But 553 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 5: right now, you know, if you're going to go for, 554 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 5: say a three game run, you got to you gotta 555 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 5: bet and Walsteed right now because he's he's been able 556 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 5: to do that. Now if during that three game run 557 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 5: he's not doing it, then you make the change. But 558 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 5: he's the guy you. 559 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 2: Could lean on, uh there to a certain extentment you 560 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: perhaps have already answered this question, but I'll throw it 561 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 2: out there anywhere. This is from Steve in uh A 562 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: South Saint Paul big fan. Can you talk some sense 563 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: into who makes the choice about year off getting more 564 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: ice time? They need to give hit that guy more time, 565 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: which I know that court. 566 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 5: I I just I'm just surprised that they don't. I 567 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 5: I he's shown enough flashes where you've got to start giving. 568 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 5: Like the horse used to, gotta give them his reins, 569 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 5: let him go, you know, let him run. And uh 570 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 5: I I know when I was doing the four games there, 571 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 5: and I'm not gonna say what I'd talked to, but 572 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 5: one of the assistants I'm talking and and the guys, well, 573 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 5: you know, he made a mistake here. Everybody makes mistakes. 574 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 5: But just because they're young doesn't mean you keep one 575 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 5: of the lineup. That guy's got a way to grow, 576 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 5: you know, he can grow. And that's why I think 577 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 5: you have to. They're on a fine line now, and 578 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 5: I can understand why they're Before they were really up 579 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 5: against it, when they were losing, they were in a 580 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 5: very good position. And then you're gonna be You're gonna 581 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 5: bet on veterans unless they're really playing really poorly because 582 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 5: you think that they're prone to less mistakes. They know 583 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 5: what you're doing. But I think now, I really believe 584 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 5: right now they feel really confident and that's why they 585 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 5: moved them up to the first line. He's earned his 586 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 5: way there. And that's the best part about it. They're 587 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 5: not giving him anything. This kid's earned his way there. 588 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 5: He's earned a chance to play different positions. And you're 589 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 5: really you got to start getting some younger guys in 590 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 5: the lineup. Why you got a cold here, Yeah, getting 591 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 5: some younger guys, you know, playing time because while now 592 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 5: they're forwards are older, for the most part, they get 593 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 5: older guys and you've got to start breaking people in 594 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 5: to get some mice time. Who's going to be there 595 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 5: if they're not ready right now when somebody goes down. 596 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 5: So you've got to have somebody I was on the 597 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 5: cusp that not only could play, but could play and produce. 598 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 3: Can you ask me if he's ever been to Oslo, Norway? 599 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 3: And if so, is there a restaurant that is kent 600 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 3: is can't miss that I should go to. I'm going 601 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 3: he writes, this is a texture. Let's see this is 602 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 3: tom He says, he's going in mid January. 603 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been there and I was on the cruise. 604 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 5: I ate in the restaurant so I don't remember the name, 605 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 5: but it was on the second floor. Was really good, 606 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 5: but most of the meals I had, and that I 607 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 5: took one of those crewis up above the Arctic Circle 608 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 5: and it was it was beautiful. It was a great, 609 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 5: great time in Norway's a beautiful area, especially all those 610 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 5: shorts when you go through them. But one time in 611 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 5: the restaurant up there, it was good enough, but not 612 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 5: good enough that I got to remember because I wasn't 613 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 5: going back anyway. 614 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 2: Question college hockey related. 615 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 3: I took my son writes uh six one two guy 616 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 3: to his first go for hockey game Saturday night. Great game, 617 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 3: he enjoyed it, but I spent much of the time 618 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 3: explaining how cool it used to be when the house 619 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 3: was packed full of Gopher fans. 620 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 2: Saturday was only about half full. So disappointing. 621 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 3: Is it still the big ten or what needs to 622 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 3: happen to bring or what needs to happen to bring 623 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 3: back the old crowds in that building. 624 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: It's a sub you've explored before. 625 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 3: I thought I thought it was getting better and I 626 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: don't know if there was something specific about that night, 627 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 3: but can you speak to that issue which comes up 628 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 3: every once in a while. 629 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that there's a couple of things there. 630 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 5: First of all, the crowds were back. You were back 631 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 5: in full when when the Gophers were making runs to 632 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 5: the frozen four. And and definitely you know I was. 633 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 5: I was in the sixteen playoff group. They were they 634 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 5: were packed, they were full. And then this year they 635 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 5: got off to the slow start. Now you get off 636 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 5: the slow start, and they had the eleven guys three place, 637 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 5: and that takes a real toll on you. On top 638 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 5: of that, the opponent was l l i U at 639 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 5: Long Island University, which I'm going to tell you I 640 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 5: hadn't even heard of until I saw them earlier in 641 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 5: a year playing against Boston College. I mean I saw 642 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 5: the scores. I didn't watch them playing, and I saw 643 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 5: them a couple of weekends play team I like Boston College. 644 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 5: One was Boston College, can re call the other one? 645 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 5: And I'm saying, who is this? I never heard of 646 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 5: him before, so all of a sudden he got the team. 647 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 5: I didn't even realize you were on our schedule. So 648 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 5: I can understand, you know, coming to Minnesota to play Minnesota. 649 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 5: People think like I thought. And in fact, that night 650 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 5: I went up for dinner. I didn't watch the game, 651 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 5: and my wife says, or were they playing? Oh, they're 652 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 5: playing the little sisters of the poor. Well they weren't 653 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 5: little sisters of the poor, because they ended up winning 654 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 5: six too. Yeah, the Gophers beat him the next night 655 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 5: six three. I didn't know anything about their team, and apparently, 656 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 5: you know, they got themselves a number of good players 657 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 5: because of all the influtive players. Now there are more 658 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 5: players around since they were able to get a lot 659 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 5: of juniors come into the US as well from Canada. 660 00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 5: But if the Gophers start winning, starting to we can 661 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 5: start to win, the Cross will be back there. 662 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 3: Louis, what is your opinion the Gophers going back to 663 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 3: an all Minnesota roster, maybe we could get more nil 664 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 3: for the program. 665 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 2: We're not going back to that, are we, Luigi? I 666 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: past that? 667 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'm no different with the hockey team 668 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 5: than I am with the football team, basketball team, the 669 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 5: volleyball team. Give me the best players. I don't care 670 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 5: where they're from. Take them viewed from Hongkong with you 671 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 5: put them in a lineup. You know, I I want 672 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 5: my teams to win, and whatever it takes to win, 673 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 5: I want to do that. And unfortunately, right now people 674 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 5: don't understand you can't win with all Minnesota players because 675 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 5: you're not going to get all the good Minnesota players. 676 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 5: If you're getting all the good Minnesota players, you could 677 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 5: be very competitive, but you're going to have kids go 678 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 5: to Wisconsin Bark College, Mankato to lose North Dakota, et cetera. 679 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 5: It just is there's no way for you to get 680 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 5: all them Sorda players because kids have different choices. Plus 681 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,280 Speaker 5: the some of them that's romantic to go out of state. 682 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 5: Of course, different parts of the country. I can understand that. 683 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 5: I mean, I came from Susame area. I didn't even 684 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 5: know where Minnesota was, you know, so that's not going 685 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 5: to happen. So you got to go and get the 686 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 5: best work you can get. 687 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 2: The best and win one hundred percent. Well, maybe you 688 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: can remind people say yours are mine, that's yours. 689 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 5: That's buying my wife to finished girlf she's called she's 690 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 5: on the way. 691 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 3: Home, So I reckon, I think that's one of my 692 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,479 Speaker 3: ringtones too. That's why I was confused for a moment. 693 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 3: Remind people the whole you know, Minnesota kids, only that 694 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 3: goes back to Mariucci, right, there was a specific reason 695 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 3: at it. There was a time where that was big 696 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 3: to him. 697 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 5: Correct, Well, let me tell you it doesn't go back 698 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 5: to Mariucci. Here's and I can tell you this is 699 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 5: better than everybody, because John told me it flucked when 700 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 5: I came down here, Mary, she says. He says. Louis says, 701 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 5: I played with the Chicago Blackhawks. I was the only 702 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 5: American on the team after Brimsick left. He says, and 703 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 5: I have nothing against Canadians. I love the Canadians. I 704 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 5: played with them. He says. The thing that I want, 705 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 5: he said, we don't play Denver in our league because 706 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 5: Denver gets all that you and those kids are finished junior. 707 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 5: When I was playing with the Govers, I was playing 708 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 5: against guys twenty five years old. And John says, I 709 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 5: just want the American boy, and especially the Minnesota boy, 710 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 5: to have equal opportunity to play against anybody. So I 711 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 5: will take you know, I took you down as an 712 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 5: eighteen year old, because that's what my kids are coming 713 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 5: from Minnesota. Eighteen years old and if the other teams 714 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 5: in the league, like Denver, if they would just take 715 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,720 Speaker 5: down eighteen year old Canadians, eighteen nineteen year old Canads, 716 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 5: I'd be all right with it. And that's why, you know, 717 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 5: he says, I've had He had Mike Pearson, he had 718 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 5: Mary Williamson, he had Jerry Melnichuck, he roll from thunder 719 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 5: Bay and uh and the Fort Francis, et cetera. So 720 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 5: he took other Canadians before me too. Actually it started 721 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 5: to become all Minnesota with Wu. Yeah, definitely was big, 722 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 5: and he was big, but I you know, I and 723 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 5: Wu was very good friend of mine, and God rested 724 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 5: solely passed away. But I I I told Doggy, I said, 725 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 5: you know, Douggie, I gotta I got a theory, and 726 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 5: I hope I'm wrong that you don't want Canadians or 727 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,280 Speaker 5: anything else here because if you lose, you got an excuse. 728 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 5: And I told him that. I so I can tell 729 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 5: you honestly, and I mean, Doug's a good friend of mine. 730 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 5: But I said, that's to me, that's not a very 731 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 5: good way to operate a hockey team. You got to 732 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 5: play to win, and you play all America, all the 733 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 5: Minnesotans because they said, oh yeah, but he got these 734 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 5: guys from every other place. He said, I want to 735 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 5: see you wins, don't don't use excuses, and and that's 736 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 5: where it started, you know, to go like that. 737 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he definitely made it part of his philosophy. 738 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 3: And you know you mentioned it earlier. I'll turn it 739 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 3: the other way, like the idea of you know, for 740 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 3: some kids it's the romantic notion of playing somewhere out 741 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 3: of state. It comes back this way too, you know, 742 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: the idea that there might be some kid in Massachusetts who, 743 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 3: for whatever reason, you know, falls in love with the 744 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 3: Gopher hockey history, to deprive him of a chance to 745 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 3: be part of it, that's that's a romance deny too. 746 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 3: That's the way I always looked at it, that there 747 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 3: had to be especially you know in the high in 748 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 3: the Gopher men's hockey heyday. I have to believe there 749 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 3: were there were kids from all over the country in 750 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 3: hockey background and said, man, I love that history. 751 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 2: I want to go there. I want to be a 752 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 2: part of that tradition. 753 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying you And you're right, there 754 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,919 Speaker 5: were kids for Boston, come here, if you'd ever gone 755 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 5: and recruit them or Michigan. It's just like you know, 756 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 5: white football players go to a certain you know, states 757 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 5: and go playing on their team, and and and then 758 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 5: you know, he didn't win. And afterwards the thing was 759 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 5: Herbie won with all Minnesotans. But at the same time, 760 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 5: Herbie was talking to me, who can you give me 761 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 5: a good guy? Can you give me a good Canadian? 762 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 5: I took Doug Riisebro down. I recruited him when he 763 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 5: was in he was a junior. Then Herb blew him out. 764 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 5: I was playing in the playoffs for the North Stars. 765 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 5: We were staying the holiday in and Herbie calls me. 766 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 5: He said, coming over. I got Riiseberg came to town. 767 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 5: You know we're gonna try and sign him. So I 768 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 5: remember talking to Doug Riisebro, who was a junior at 769 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 5: the time. I said, Doug, you know you're a Canadian 770 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 5: like I was a Canadian. It's a great opportunity. And 771 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 5: I said, unless you're drafted high in the first round, 772 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,439 Speaker 5: I said, you got to come here, do you You'll 773 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,720 Speaker 5: get an education, you could do this, blah blah blah. 774 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 5: When you know, he gets drafted fifth overall by Montreal. 775 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 5: That's why he went went play in the Canadian farm system. 776 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 5: Then the Canadian but Riiseburg would have been played for 777 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 5: the golfers. 778 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 2: There you go, see, there you have it. 779 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 5: I mean I tried to get Kenny Dryden and. 780 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 2: I remember that we talked about that when he passed away. 781 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that they were to come here. 782 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: Sure, no doubt. 783 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 3: One more question, good, good variety of questions from the 784 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 3: audience tonight, Dan, Can you ask Louis his advice for 785 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 3: parents with kids in youth hockey? So many super teams 786 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,799 Speaker 3: and clubs year round. When to specialize in hockey? 787 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 2: If ever? Gear ice time very expensive? What's the balance 788 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 2: in all of it? 789 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 3: Great to know good perspective is someone who knows what 790 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 3: it takes to be at a high level. 791 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 2: What will you We've talked about this before. What what's 792 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 2: your best speech to that that texture? 793 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 5: Well, I'd have to say this. You could favor, you know, 794 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 5: playing hockey and doing some extra training and learning in 795 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 5: the summer, but play others. And I really mean that 796 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 5: because other sports. Really there's a couple of things that 797 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 5: does So we're taking hockey, but this could go for 798 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 5: a football player. Just concentrating football or anything. You've got 799 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 5: to get away from the sport a bit to love 800 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 5: it more, and so you don't get you don't get 801 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 5: frustrated with it, you don't get the sour on it, 802 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 5: you don't get bored with it. And it's great to 803 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 5: play a hockey player playing baseball, you know, hand eyeing baseball, 804 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 5: trying in a baseball you know, to contact in football, 805 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 5: the quickness and jumping in athletic ability basketball. They all 806 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 5: help you become a better athlete. And if you have 807 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 5: the skill to play hockey, it's not going to hurt 808 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 5: you to play other sports and take you're becoming a 809 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 5: better athlete, and you're also getting a variety of stuff 810 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 5: that takes away from any monotony that might sit in 811 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 5: there or frustration when you're in your head against the 812 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 5: wall doing the same thing all the time. I really 813 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 5: feel as extremely important to play other sports. And you know, 814 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 5: years ago you probably you could remember, but many people won't. 815 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,400 Speaker 5: There was a television show called Superstars. Yeah sure, and 816 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 5: they used to have players from all sports compete in 817 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 5: different events. In fact, I pad into a story once 818 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 5: today I wish I would have done it, putting athletes 819 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 5: in different situations and competing against the general public. This 820 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 5: the athletes were competing against themselves against other athletes. And 821 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 5: you know, hockey players always were first or second or third, 822 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 5: is that right? Other sports? Yeah, and it because they 823 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 5: played other sports too. The others didn't. But I think 824 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 5: it's really important for the love of the game to 825 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 5: be as strong and as powerful as you want. To 826 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 5: give the kids an opportunity to do other things so 827 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 5: they don't get tired of it or monotonous or frustrated 828 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 5: with it. And plus and make some better athletes. So 829 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,320 Speaker 5: don't give up on and just specialize. When the kid's fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, 830 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 5: I always tell every gump wars and he never played 831 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 5: gold and he was fourteen till us because he never 832 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 5: made a junior eighteen till he was nineteen. You know, 833 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 5: you you you have time for the kids to develop. 834 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 5: If he's got the skills to play hockey, those skills 835 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 5: will come out. They'll come out. Maybe they'll be a 836 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 5: little later, coming out, you know, at the level you 837 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 5: wanted to be, but not much later. And if he's 838 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 5: got enough, you'll make it. 839 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 2: A seven sixty three. Guy wants to know how much 840 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: was ice time in the sue. 841 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 5: Oh my god, Well it wasn't much because we played 842 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 5: outside most of the times said he never he never 843 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 5: skated inside till he could. He killed was fifteen years 844 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 5: old or someone who just finally able to skate Memorial gardens. 845 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 5: I think we probably had to be about fifty cents ago. 846 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 3: This guy's got to It's probably a night for sure. 847 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 3: Have a wonderful night, great stuff.

That is 863 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 3: the nature of playing for the number one team in 864 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 3: this town. And it's the nature of playing, of course, 865 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 3: at the most important position for the number one team 866 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 3: in town. 867 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,359 Speaker 2: Whether they are winning or lose. 868 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 5: Anne, if you. 869 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 2: Want talking to what's happening with your favorite KFA and shows, 870 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 2: we can.

We're so accustomed to 877 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 3: being done by six six fifteen. The idea that we 878 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 3: have to go all the way to six thirty is 879 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 3: almost I feel like I need I need some load 880 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 3: management right now.

I'm not sure, 882 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 3: but because the wild play tomorrow night, correct and that's 883 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:10,240 Speaker 3: a home correct? 884 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 5: Yes? 885 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 2: Is that a regular time start or a later time start? 886 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 2: I guess it will depend on that. It looks like 887 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 2: a later time start. Oh, so then we're not We're 888 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,879 Speaker 2: not going to be out early tomorrow either. Well, that's 889 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:21,919 Speaker 2: just unbelievable. 890 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 3: Bradshaw and Brian Kafean text line is open at six 891 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 3: four six eight six if you'd like to react to 892 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 3: anything that we got into with with Luigi. 893 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 2: We had a lot of. 894 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 3: Vikings conversation quarterback conversation early because you really at this point, 895 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 3: I don't know that you can necessarily get away from it. 896 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,359 Speaker 3: I do want to mention one thing we got into 897 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,320 Speaker 3: with Kevin Seaffert, And if you listen, then I appreciate 898 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 3: you listening to entire shows. But people kind of come 899 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 3: and go, and you know, we complain, not me, of course, 900 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 3: but other people complain incessantly about the need for certain 901 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 3: rules to be changed in our favorite league, whatever it is, 902 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 3: you know, NHL, NFL, MLB, you name it. I and 903 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 3: I know this is a source subject because in this 904 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 3: case it worked against the Purple's best chances to win 905 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 3: the game against the Bears. But we've just had another 906 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 3: vivid illustration of a rule change gone good, or a 907 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 3: rule change that has resulted in exactly what the competition 908 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 3: committee hoped it would. 909 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 2: Bring back to the game. I'm old enough to remember. 910 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 3: Long stretches when the kickoff return was an entertaining play, 911 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 3: a real play. There was a viable threat that maybe 912 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 3: you don't get a kickoff return for a touchdown, but 913 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,839 Speaker 3: maybe you get it back to the fifty. Position can 914 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 3: be shifted, and it was a real football play that 915 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 3: you didn't want to miss. And then obviously you reached 916 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 3: a point where kickers' legs got so strong that they 917 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 3: took all of that out of the game. Basically, I'm 918 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 3: gonna kick through the end zone, I'm gonna kick beyond. 919 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 5: The end zone. 920 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 3: I'm gonna kick into the stands. That's how far I 921 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,839 Speaker 3: can kick the ball. And we reached a point where 922 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 3: why even are we even bothering to kick off? So 923 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 3: then the league says, well, what can we do to 924 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 3: fix it? I told them a year ago what they 925 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 3: needed to do, and they finally listened, and that was 926 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 3: that you have to that the penalty has to be 927 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 3: great enough for kicking into the end zone the teams 928 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 3: rethink it. And by that, in my view, you had 929 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 3: you had to give the ball minimum to the to 930 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 3: the uh the receiving team's thirty five yard line. The 931 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 3: twenty five wasn't gonna be enough. The thirty wasn't gonna 932 00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 3: be enough. But if you get it to the thirty 933 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 3: five and you say, go ahead, kick it as far 934 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 3: as you want, man, we're happy for you that you 935 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 3: got the big leg. But they're starting sixty five yards 936 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,399 Speaker 3: from pay dirt and about twenty yards from a field goal. 937 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 2: And that's what they finally did. 938 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,839 Speaker 3: And look at the impact, the powerful impact it had 939 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 3: on last Sunday's game two days ago at the People's Stadium, 940 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 3: because you know what I know, nursing a what well 941 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,439 Speaker 3: you know, a less than field goal lead, in other words, 942 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,320 Speaker 3: a field goal. You give up a field goal, you 943 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,399 Speaker 3: lose the game. Nursing that I think what was the score? 944 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 3: We're up seventeen sixteen. So given that situation, you're going 945 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 3: to kick the ball out and if they're going to 946 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 3: get the ball at the twenty twenty five yard line, 947 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 3: who cares. You'll take your chances on that. And the 948 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 3: other way you could do it is you could squib it. 949 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 3: But now you can't squib it because it's got a 950 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 3: land in the landing zone or you will be similarly punished. 951 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 3: So the Vikings did still have the choice. They could 952 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 3: have kicked it deep. And I know there's some people 953 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 3: out there that think they should have. I don't agree, 954 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 3: but the rule change made this a tougher call, and 955 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 3: it then made more likely exactly the scenario that got 956 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 3: played out. And again, from the Vikings fan standpoint, it 957 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 3: was a disaster, but it's an exciting play. From the 958 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,480 Speaker 3: Bears fan standpoint, incredibly exciting play ball gets back past 959 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 3: midfield or around there, they get a few runs, and 960 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 3: suddenly they're in position for the game winning field goal. 961 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 3: So it's like a textbook example of how a successful 962 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 3: rule change can indeed bring back a once vital part 963 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,239 Speaker 3: of the game into the game in a way that 964 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 3: it had just been flat out eliminated. It's just that 965 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 3: I had not existed the last several years. It was 966 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 3: the most meaningless play in football, and for a lot 967 00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 3: of people it was I got extra time to go 968 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 3: to the bathroom, I got extra time to grab the nachos, 969 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 3: or whatever the case may be. 970 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 2: I don't want to look at it. 971 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 3: There's nothing to see here, so why bother h But 972 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,680 Speaker 3: that's the that that caused that rule change, caused the 973 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 3: chain of events that ultimately led in this case to 974 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 3: the Vikings losing the game. But it did lead to 975 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 3: an exciting play. Whether you're on the good side of 976 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 3: that or the bad side of it. So often even 977 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,879 Speaker 3: best case, you know, intention I best intentions don't work 978 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 3: out in terms of bringing back a long forgotten part 979 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 3: of the game. Because we've had that, We've got that 980 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 3: funny formation now right where it looks like, uh, you 981 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,719 Speaker 3: got you got only the kicker at the kicking line, 982 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 3: and you got everybody else further up and they got 983 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 3: to wait a while, and it looks so bizarre. But 984 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 3: it's leading to results more kickoff return some deep some 985 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 3: you know, touchdowns. Most times it's still going to be 986 00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 3: you're probably going to be you know, you're if you 987 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 3: if if you decide to run it out, you're gonna 988 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 3: end up between the twenty and the thirty yard line. 989 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 3: But it's a play again, It's a play you have 990 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 3: to pay attention to again. So I think that's a 991 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,439 Speaker 3: good thing. I mean, I know you're you're a great 992 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:11,760 Speaker 3: kickoff mine, don't you agree. 993 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 2: I think it's made it more. I mean, they got 994 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 2: what they wanted out of it because they wanted more returns, yes, 995 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 2: and more meaningful plays. Now, obviously, Vikings fans are waking up. 996 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 2: You know this week you're gonna say, why don't you 997 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,399 Speaker 2: just kick it out and we'll just take the thirty 998 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 2: five and you know, just we'll play from there and 999 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 2: trust our defense. But it is they got exactly. It's 1000 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 2: rare that a rule change gets exactly. There's no other 1001 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 2: ramifications and side consequences of it. They got exactly what 1002 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,840 Speaker 2: they were looking for, and it worked a. 1003 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 3: Couple of texts to well, tell you what, let's we 1004 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 3: still got one more not done yet six fifteen, right, 1005 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 3: so let's take one more break. A lot of texts 1006 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 3: have come in to finish up with We'll do that 1007 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 3: and we will remind you what we have coming up 1008 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 3: on tomorrow's broadcast as well. 1009 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 2: On an end review. What's been a pretty I think 1010 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 2: productive show to this point. Don't go away. It's the 1011 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 2: bumper to bumper show rap, and it's brought to you 1012 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:22,360 Speaker 2: by American Pressure. You know. 1013 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:26,720 Speaker 3: We had Chris Carter on yesterday and he was pretty honest, 1014 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 3: although I thought very fair in discussing the. 1015 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 2: Performance of one J. J. McCarthy, I missed this. I 1016 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 2: did you see this? That? Uh well. 1017 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 3: Part of the reason I wanted Carter on was he 1018 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 3: had responded, your guy. 1019 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 2: What's the what's the name let me double check it 1020 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 2: to be sure. 1021 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. 1022 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 3: Emmanuelo had film, the former NFL linebacker and media analyst 1023 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 3: a film clip on Sunday night that featured that highlighted 1024 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 3: the McCarthy go ahead touchdown pass to Addison, and Acho 1025 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,239 Speaker 3: praised that play, acknowledged he hadn't been as good up 1026 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 3: until then, but then said McCarthy got that clutch Gene 1027 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 3: Carter than via X pushed back with in classic Chris 1028 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:34,280 Speaker 3: Carter form, did you watch the first fifty nine minutes? 1029 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 2: And that's part of what got me. We got Chris 1030 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 2: Carter back in my head. 1031 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,040 Speaker 3: I said, we got to have him on and so 1032 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 3: we talked about and again I think he was hard 1033 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 3: on McCarthy. He was concerned by what he saw, but 1034 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 3: he didn't say you give up on him. He did 1035 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 3: not say you just you know it's over. There's no 1036 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 3: way that we've already seen enough to know that he's 1037 00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 3: we can put him on ice. 1038 00:56:58,719 --> 00:56:59,759 Speaker 2: He's not going to be the guy. 1039 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 3: But I'm seeing that A guy who was a longtime 1040 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 3: quarterback coach of McCarthy, I think Holcomb is named, is 1041 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 3: responded with kind of a an obscenity referring to Chris 1042 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 3: Carter as a bleeping clown. 1043 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 5: So this is. 1044 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 3: Getting pretty juicy, I think, he responded, I didn't know 1045 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 3: that when we had Carter on yesterday. I certainly would 1046 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 3: have gotten Carter's reaction to it. But what this underscores 1047 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 3: to me is the level of tension right now in 1048 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,800 Speaker 3: the organization, in this case outside the organization as well, 1049 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:47,760 Speaker 3: because there is such great there are such great expectations, 1050 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 3: and there is I guess you could say so far, 1051 00:57:54,440 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 3: so much to be worried about that nerves are fraid, 1052 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 3: I think is the best way to put it. So 1053 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 3: we'll see where that goes from there. It is it 1054 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,040 Speaker 3: a little tough for a former player to come back 1055 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 3: with that rejoinder well as a snarky guy myself, I 1056 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 3: think it's actually a pretty good line, and there is 1057 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 3: no way you come out of that game just making 1058 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 3: it about how he finished. It has to be about 1059 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:29,600 Speaker 3: the entire performance, for sure, and that's part of the 1060 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 3: reason we like having Carter on. He's gonna be honest, 1061 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,080 Speaker 3: even if it is his team. I'll say again, though 1062 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,160 Speaker 3: Carter with us didn't make it sound like he was 1063 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 3: giving up on just said we got there were some 1064 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 3: concerning things that he saw that that we're giving him pause. 1065 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 2: I'm not sure the right approach. I'm not sure you're 1066 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 2: helping your own your own player when you respond that defensively, 1067 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 2: because the truth of the matter is there's no arguing 1068 00:58:58,760 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 2: with what had come before. 1069 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not even up for debate. It's not 1070 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 3: like CC is projecting how he might play. It's how 1071 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 3: he played by any objective standard. So what it might 1072 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 3: mean is that there's a lot of nervousness and a 1073 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 3: lot of defensiveness because they damn well know that this 1074 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 3: is not gone. And anybody who's worked with JJ McCarthy 1075 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,200 Speaker 3: deep down has to know this has not gone close 1076 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 3: to how they expected that it was that it was 1077 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 3: going to go. This message is to Dan b I'm 1078 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 3: almost as old as Dan. I know he grew up 1079 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 3: a Bears fan. I'm wondering if JJ reminds him of 1080 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 3: Bobby Douglas. They both threw throw one hundred miles per 1081 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 3: hour with great inaccuracy. God the Vikings better hope not. 1082 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 3: Bobby Douglas was a big, strapping lad, much more physical than. 1083 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 2: McCarthy, a brut of a runner. 1084 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 3: In fact, Bobby Douglas i believe was the first running 1085 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 3: back to ever rush for a thousand yards in a 1086 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 3: season if I'm not mistaken, But he did not have 1087 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 3: the shaw we say football intellect to play the position 1088 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 3: at the professional level. He was wildly inaccurate. I'm not 1089 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 3: ready to go to the Bobby Douglas comparison yet. I 1090 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 3: think it's a little early to do that. That might 1091 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,240 Speaker 3: be a little bit on the rough side. 1092 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,280 Speaker 2: And the last thing I want to have happen to 1093 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 2: me is to have one of JJ's old quarterback coaches 1094 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 2: refer to me as a bleeping clown. So I will defer, 1095 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 2: and I won't go quite that far, even though there 1096 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,920 Speaker 2: was great concern, and I've told this story before, the 1097 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 2: great irony regarding the Bobby Douglas career as a left 1098 01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 2: handed quarterback for the Bears in the late sixties into 1099 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 2: the early seventies. 1100 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 4: Is that. 1101 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:49,479 Speaker 2: His greatest game. 1102 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 3: I mean, it may have been the one game where 1103 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:58,480 Speaker 3: start to finish he looked like a professional, franchisey NFL quarterback. 1104 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 3: No one will remembered it even at the time because 1105 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 3: during that same game, a receiver for the Detroit Lions, 1106 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 3: the opponent, Chuck Hughes, died on the field, collapsed and 1107 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:17,640 Speaker 3: died on the field. So even at his crowning achievement moment, 1108 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 3: who's going to remember when in that same game another 1109 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 3: player actually died from not in that case injuries. 1110 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 2: I think he had. 1111 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 3: I want to say Chuck Hughes was the name of 1112 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 3: the receiver. I think he had a heart condition. Ultimately, 1113 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 3: I think they found out he had a heart condition. 1114 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 3: It was awful. I still I remember it like yesterday, 1115 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 3: that whole story. So I'm not ready to go to 1116 01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 3: the Bobby Douglas card. 1117 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 2: Quite yet. 1118 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 3: How many times did pjsa the Gophers are a really 1119 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 3: good football team today during the coaches show? 1120 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 2: Sure he went with it. I know he said they 1121 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 2: were a disadvantage when the team is so young and 1122 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 2: used that old excuse again, ed and Saint Paul. 1123 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 3: I did not hear PJ today. Did you he got 1124 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 3: a really good football team again today? Or was he 1125 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 3: just projecting because he has done that before. 1126 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 2: I caught maybe a couple of minutes the one quote 1127 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 2: that stuck out to me was we're Bowl eligible and 1128 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 2: that's a big deal. Yeah, so it's just it's yeah, 1129 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 2: it's it's again. I you're. 1130 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 3: You're not a really good football team. If you get 1131 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,040 Speaker 3: out scored by one hundred points or more than one 1132 01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 3: hundred points on the road. In your four road games, 1133 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 3: the closest you've played in the road was losing two 1134 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 3: touchdowns to to Cal And you've gotten blown out by 1135 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 3: Ohio State, Iowa and for all practical purposes, the University 1136 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 3: of Oregon as well. So we can end. And again 1137 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,320 Speaker 3: here's the other kicker. I know the object of the 1138 01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 3: game is to win, but if in the games where 1139 01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 3: you're playing winless big ten teams you have and you 1140 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 3: have to like when you eke out victories, you're not 1141 01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,320 Speaker 3: dominating those teams.
