18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: everything's exciting. And I got to say it was a

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 4: little bit concerned when I must have retweeted your invite

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: to the show today and I get a text from

21
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: my wife right away saying, remember not to bet ubb

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: when you're on the radio.

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Stubborn. Yeah, what's that mean?

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. I thought, Margo, you guys would know.

25
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, I'm a stubborn guy, But I don't know

26
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: why I would be stubborn on your show.

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta ask a weird question. Does she ever

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: happen to listen to nine to noon when we're at

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: like a box in the box And if you say no,

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: we're not offended.

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 3: I think she does.

32
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: But I just didn't know if there was something that

33
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 4: in the past I've been stubborn, or there was a

34
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 4: reason for her to be concerned I'd be stubborn. I

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: don't know, were you guys about to like rake me

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 4: over the coals or something at all?

37
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, Well, let's just lay it out

38
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: like this. What happened? I don't know you and Russo? Oh,

39
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Russell Russo came up at ten o'clock apoplectic, refused a

40
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: social media picture, dropped a choice F bomb before we

41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: went on the radio, and was describing this this podcast

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: argument that you and he had as he did. Then

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, on like not going to Tuscany, not

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: going to Turks and Caicos or Scotland or Italy. Heated, no, no, no,

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: and then he said something else and he I mean,

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: he like his podcasting thing was still hooked up. It's

47
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: like he just picked up the thing for what's the

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: name of it again, worre seats in the house. We're

49
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: seats in the house for Talk North, and it's like

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: he just picked up the stuff. There was no ending

51
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: to the podcast and just said bleep you and left.

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is kind of how the show ended, now

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: that I think about it. Maybe that's what she was

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: talking about. I guess I hadn't really thought of that.

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: That's why I asked if she if she listened, because

56
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: either Russo tweeted about it and I haven't looked at

57
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: social media since the start of the show. But we

58
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: talked about it for about ten fifteen minutes and stuff,

59
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: and he was hot.

60
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it was. And it really wasn't that heated,

61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: and not any more heated than normally. Just we just

62
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: have some different opinions and sometimes when I offer mine,

63
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: he will just interrupt and say, Anthony, that you're wrong,

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 4: and think that that's the end of the argument.

65
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: It's just everybody knows you're run well, who's everybody.

66
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, right, but you are on the wrong side of

67
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: this playoff.

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: Apparently I am.

69
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: No, it's actually that is what we were talking about,

70
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: and I just all I said about it is I'm

71
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: just kind of tired of the of people complaining about

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: it because we all knew what it was coming into

73
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: the season. It isn't going to change. This is the

74
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: system and you all knew it. So let's just play

75
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 4: and and you're going to face good teams on the

76
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 4: first round of the playoffs. In the NHL, I always

77
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: feel like there's maybe four or five teams in each

78
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: conference that you would say going into the playoffs they

79
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: have a legitimate chance not just to win around, but

80
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: to make a run.

81
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: And Minnesota is one of the four or five in

82
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: the West for sure this year.

83
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: By definition that eight or ten team that means a

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: couple are going to get beat in the first round.

85
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: They had a legitimate chance to go on. And I

86
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: believe that if you look at the NFL system, for example,

87
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: you win your division, you get one of the top

88
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: four seeds. That's everybody knows it going in some years

89
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: it's bad luck the Vikes. Yeah, it was last year

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: they were the five seed and had to go on

91
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: the road against because they didn't win their division, even

92
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: though they were what were they fourteen and three last year.

93
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: Well, everybody knew this. If you win your division, then

94
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: you get a first round.

95
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so unfortunate would be a good way to be unfortunate.

96
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: But it's also an aberration.

97
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: And they've been This system has been in place since

98
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: twenty fourteen, and there's not been a time where the

99
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: top three in a conference were all in the same division.

100
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: So it's an aberration.

101
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, and aberrations happened no matter what the system.

102
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: I likened it.

103
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: This year of the Olympics system, the US had to

104
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: play Sweden in the quarterfinals. Ye well, Sweden was for

105
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: sure one of the top four teams in that tournament.

106
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: They played like one of the top four. They won

107
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 4: two out of three, but because of their seating rules,

108
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: wound up having to play the US in the first round.

109
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: It's no matter what the system.

110
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: You design, there's always going to be times where something

111
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: out of the ordinary happens. This is out of the ordinary. Now,

112
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 4: what's problematic about this is I don't see Colorado, Dallas

113
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: or Minnesota. I think the window might be closing a

114
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: little bit in both Denver and Dallas, but it's still

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: going to be open for the next couple of years,

116
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: these are going to be some great races in the

117
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: Central Division, and why not just enjoy that. This is

118
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: going to be a heck of a race, a heck

119
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: of a division, and the first couple of rounds of

120
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: playoffs are going to be really fun to watch.

121
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: He's markedly more active on social media than you and I.

122
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

123
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: So therefore, if you specifically in the age of rage,

124
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: if you if you frame up what's going to happen

125
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: and then say they lose in that first round, well

126
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: it's going to be what the things with which he's

127
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: dealing are going to be trying to poke him? But

128
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to respond, and it's just going

129
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: to go on and on and on and on.

130
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an monimating cycle.

131
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: They I think they don't they call those self fulfilling

132
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: prophecies a little bit.

133
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Okay, well, but as Marcus Felina walks up the stairs

134
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: and gets ready for him, let's what's going on, moose,

135
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Let's I see your brother, let's let's let's uh, let

136
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: me ask you this. If Gary Betman right here says

137
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: to you, Anthony Labanta, you can have the you can

138
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: go right over there whenever you're ready and black coffee

139
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: over there if you want to. We got everything up

140
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: here in the GM sweet food probably on the way,

141
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: maybe maybe not. If Betman said to you, all right,

142
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to yield to whatever you think is best

143
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: for all involved. Would you go one via eight or

144
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: would you do it the way it is now?

145
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: I actually would go through sixteen? That's right, go back

146
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 4: to the old discs.

147
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do? You remember the old one through sixty? No,

148
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: you're not that.

149
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: I just remember watching a little bit of it with Parole.

150
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: My dad was in Toronto when he went the furthest

151
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 5: and they played first round Detroit, which wasn't bad, and

152
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 5: then they went to Saint Louis and then went La Wow,

153
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: and like it was awesome.

154
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: So your dad playing Detroit, that wasn't you know? I'm

155
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: just stupid here. That's not Zetterberg Datsu. It was right

156
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: before that, or it was And I dated you by saying,

157
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: Joebert Peraut, I know, you know? Did he really played

158
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: with sweet as that man? Marcus Felino nine to Noone.

159

Speaker 4: He's not in the French connection room though, at what

160
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: is it? What's the restaurant in Buffalo, the old chefs

161
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: Chef where they have the French Connection room.

162
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Your dad didn't quite make it in there. Yeah, that's right.

163
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: Was it Rick Martin? No, it's Martin and uh.

164
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: And the French name geez Bernie Parant Just kidding. Goaltender

165
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: broad Street Bullies. Oh yeah, So you guys are playing

166
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia last week and we're here for boxing the box

167
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I got heinze On and gorg

168
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and everything. So I'm like, you know, to get the

169
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: things started talking about the broad Street Bullies and Bobby

170
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Clark Flyers immortality, stuff like that. I had forgotten their

171
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: goaltender was Bernie Parant, you know, and then where his

172
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: ranking was in the league at that time. I'm like,

173
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: let me get this straight. You got people who are

174
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: faster than you. They're all going to beat you up.

175
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: And the goalies good, i mean, what an unbelievable situation

176
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: for them.

177
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: Remember that. I do remember that.

178
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: And and this going back to the one six teams

179
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 4: as an old North Star fan, they had they opened

180
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: with Boston, who you know, played so there were playoffs

181
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: like that that went back and forth. But yeah, and Philip,

182
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: they had some great battles with Philadelphia back in those days.

183
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: With those teams, and I love the old Philadelphia teams

184
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: and it you know what's funny is how much the

185
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: team still takes on the personality of the city and

186
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 4: Philadelphia has. It seems like they're always that type of team.

187
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: Whether they're competitive not, it doesn't matter. The team plays

188
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: the same way, they're built the same way. And the Flyers,

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not quite as brutal as it was

190
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: back then, but they's still that kind of team.

191
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you know the times where they were soft,

192
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 5: the fans let them know, and I pleased they were

193
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 5: with this type of even.

194
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: You think the fans in Philly let people know that,

195
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 4: no at all, But they learned how to boo before

196
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 4: they learn how to speak.

197
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: They've always had tough guys and things like that. So yeah,

198
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 5: it's it's good. I mean a lot of places are

199
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: like that. You you kind of shape a team to

200
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: where the fans kind of come from in the background.

201
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: People, well you, I mean you came up here. I'm

202
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: glad you came up here now because La Panta.

203
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: I don't want to make you wait.

204
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: The hair apparent and Russo Russo Radio the athletic I mean,

205
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: in a heated argument where their friendship was in question

206
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: over playoff seating, and like Russo on this podcast, Worst

207
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: Seats in the House basically calling Anthony stupid, saying you're

208
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: if you think I mean Colorado.

209
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: Dallas, he just did.

210
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: Colorado, Dallas and Minnesota are three of the best five

211
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: teams in the NHL and and two of them are

212
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: going to meet in the first round. You know, high percentage.

213
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: It depends on where it is, but that's also a

214
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: high percentage. And we'll just play the rest of the games,

215
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, you know, not to get you

216
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: to splash or anything here, but like do you have

217
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: an opinion on that, I mean, like how it is

218
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: seeded and like you know what's coming.

219
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: I just thought that, you know, there's always should be

220
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 5: a reward for your regular season, and I think that

221
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: comes through the one through eight where I you know,

222
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 5: over third, Okay, we will play a sixth seed, right

223
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 5: It's just, you know, it's just it's just something that

224
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: I think that you you grind eighty two games for

225
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 5: and then you know, mentally in our room right now,

226
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 5: we don't care, like if we've got to play color

227
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 5: out of Dallas regardless if you want to win a

228
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 5: Standley Cup. You got to beat everyone win a Stanley Cup.

229
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 5: So yeah, you know, there's no excuses come playoff time.

230
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: So in our room, we don't give a give a

231
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 5: crap about what's going on with But it's like, it's

232
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: just like it would be nice that if it was

233
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 5: you have a two games, you had a heck of

234
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 5: a season.

235
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: This is what you're rewarded with. And then it causes

236
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 3: the you.

237
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 5: Know, you saw La King's eight seed they win a

238
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup, Like, it causes those unbelievable Cinderella moments and you.

239
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: Get rivalries from that.

240
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 5: You give rivalries from someone punching in the mouth or

241
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: dirty shot, like that's how rivalries are created. And then

242
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 5: I get it. You play a team enough, you hate

243
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 5: them enough, then they creates arrival. But I just think that,

244
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 5: you know, animosity in the playoffs usually create something that

245
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 5: happens next season, and it's just no balls.

246
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: I just like when two people are in a heated

247
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: argument and it doesn't evolve. Man, you know, like other

248
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: people are arguing. I mean, it's like who wants to

249
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: be in an argument? You know what I mean? But man,

250
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: that was a hot argument. Holy yeah.

251
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: Well, and I love the rivalries, and I think that's

252
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: what this divisional format has helped create when you look

253
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: at what right now it feels like when Minnesota plays Dallas,

254
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: or Minnesota plays Saint Louis, or Minnesota plays Colorado. Those

255
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: rivalries have grown by playing them in the postseason and

256
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: battling six or seven times there plus the four in

257
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: the regular season where you see them. And you asked

258
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: me the question is Moose was walking up about if

259
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: I was Gary Bettman and said, hey, design the playoffs system,

260
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: I would actually I'd love to see it go even

261
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 4: further the other way and eliminate the wild cards and

262
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: say we're just going to take the top four in

263
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: each division, and that if you're the fifth place team

264
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 4: in your division, do you really have an argument that I,

265
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 4: by god, we should be in the playoffs.

266
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: Take the top four and then let them go head

267
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: to head.

268
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: If you're going to go the wild card, I'd love

269
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: to see it where you only cross over if you

270
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 4: have to, if the two wild cards come from the

271
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: same division. So like last year, I think we went

272
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,239
Speaker 4: the other way where Minnesota jumped in the Pacific and

273
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: and then a Pacific team came to the Central like I.

274
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: To me, it's all about these are the teams you

275
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 4: play the most, are the teams your fans know the most.

276
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: I love the old Norris Division rivalries when it was Minnesota,

277
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 4: Chicago and Saint Louis and they were they bang heads

278
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: all season and then they bang heads again in the playoffs.

279
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: Those things were great for the game, and every once

280
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: in a while you get a year like this where

281
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 4: it's it really is, it's an aberration and it and

282
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: you could make the argument that it's unfair to have

283
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: two teams that have had this good or regular season,

284
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 4: but it just doesn't happen very often. So I just

285
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,359
Speaker 4: don't think you have to overreact and revamp a system

286
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: based on a year where things played out the way

287
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: they played out this year.

288
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: Russo's listening right now.

289
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: He's about to.

290
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: Yeah the horn, how to go out there for you? Today?

291

Speaker 3: It felt great. Yeah, I'm feeling really good.

292
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 5: Just trying to get back into in the game shape

293
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: with the practices. We haven't had many as a team,

294
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 5: so tomorrow will be nice to get out there with

295
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: the guys, and but I feel really really good right now,

00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: on KPAM, I got to know Oliver Moore last year

315
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: with the Gophers. With this radio show, we'll focus on

316
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: college hockey every so often, and I'll call the coach,

317
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: former coach Bob Motskow when they're like taking a bus

318
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: ride to Hote or a bus ride to Madison, and

319
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: then he'll pass the phone around the bus. Well, he

320
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: passed it around to this Tatino grace kid, Oliver Moore,

321
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: who's a big Minnesota Vikings fan. So we started chatting

322
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: and everything. Subsequently we become friends. So I know he's hurt.

323
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: And and I had him on the radio the other

324
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: day and and I think Russo wrote about this, but

325
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: he told me about this last offseason when you guys

326
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: were together with the Blackhawks. Is it Sudbury. Yeah, And

327
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: you brought a bunch you brought brought a bunch of players,

328
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: but most of them young players, just to go over

329
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: some things, get loose, have a good time. I thought

330
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: that was really really cool, man, because that doesn't you know,

331
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: you'll read about hey, Brady's throwing to so and so,

332
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: and this guy's throwing to so and so, and Anthony

333
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: Edwards is working out with Shake gilges Alexander here, but

334
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: you never hear like a big group like that. So,

335
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: so why did you do that? And and Oliver Moore,

336
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: what do you think of him? Mate?

337
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, he's a great kid. You know,

338
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 6: he's just you could tell you comes from an awesome family.

339
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 6: And I love getting on him. I call him he's

340
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 6: like a young puppy, like he's just every day is

341
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 6: a new adventure. Yeah right, But great, great guy to

342
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 6: be around, great energy, and he's going to be a

343
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 6: great player in this league.

344
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: So so he went to sleepwalking in your place. You

345
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: heard that story? Ye, who's stalks?

346
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: Oh man, that was wild.

347
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 6: The guys came down in tears the next morning, like

348
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 6: laughing about it because he just screamed and I guess

349
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 6: he was yelling my name and I don't know what

350
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 6: he was doing in the nighttime, but too much.

351
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the best is like Frank days are.

352
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 6: One of my teammates was like, yeah, you're not supposed

353
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 6: to wake up a sleepwalker, but he Wyat Kaiser, another

354
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: Minnesota boy, woke him up.

355
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: And say, yeah, that was all right. So the the

356
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: first time Marcus and the group I think went before

357
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: you went to Chicago. All right, I'm chatting with Marcus

358
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: here shows called Box in the Box the Felino Face Off,

359
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: and so we chatted a little bit about it and

360
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: your mom and stuff like that. Now you're here, so, uh,

361
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: let me start here. When you were in United Center

362
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: the other night, was it weird? Like, like how weird

363
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: was it? And why?

364
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 6: Well, just such a quick turnaround, right, I just battled

365
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 6: those guys and then still kind of feels surreal being

366
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 6: here obviously, and I think just going back, it just

367
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 6: brought a lot of emotions back. And that's a great group.

368
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: I really enjoyed my time there, and I think it's

369
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 6: kind of nice to kind of put an end to

370
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 6: that chapter. And now I'm excited to be a Minnesota.

371
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: Well Amen, Nick and Marcus Fileno nine to noon, this

Speaker 3: people bounding through ancer.

403
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: Question for both of you will begin with Nick, what

404
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: did your mom mean to you when it comes to

405
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: where you are now?

406
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 3: How long is this?

407
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: Hey, you guys can both go back and forth. Man,

408
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: got plenty of time.

409
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 6: No, she just you know what she I think anyone

410
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 6: that has you know, reached their you know, dream of

411
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 6: playing in the NHL, anything they've done in life. Your

412
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 6: mother is a big impact on that. And I think

413
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 6: we were blessed to have a mother that understood even

414
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 6: though four kids, we all felt we were loved the

415
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 6: same and had the same opportunities to grow and become

416
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 6: the people we are. And I think that's as a

417
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 6: parent now is probably the hardest.

418
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: Thing to do.

419
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 6: And then you admire her even more so, and uh,

420
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 6: you know, we just we miss her because it's a

421
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 6: it's a woman that I think would would really enjoy

422
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 6: seeing how well her kids are doing now and what

423
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 6: what she made us into. So, uh, that's what she's

424
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 6: meant to me and Marcus and my sisters, and you know,

425
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 6: everyone thinks their mother is the greatest, but we truly

426
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 6: think ours is. And yeah, it's a nice way to

427
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 6: be able to honor her now by by continuing to

428
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 6: do the good work that she put in for Marcus.

429
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Did she push you guys? I mean like that, what

430
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: ways did she push you guys?

431
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: Up?

432
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: N say, she pushed him more than me. I was

433
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: the youngest. That's why he's so much bigger. Love she

434
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 5: she fed me a lot more. And uh, yeah, she

435
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 5: she pushed us. I mean she brought us to the

436
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: rinks and everything and made sure that we got to

437
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 5: where we needed to go for our sports and school

438
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 5: and everything. And you know, she just you know, on

439
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 5: conditional love. Everything we did was I remember many games

440
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 5: where my dad had something to say to me, but

441
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 5: she had something to say.

442
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: Great toad drag that one for something.

443
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: But meanwhile, it's probably minus.

444
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: She was.

445
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 5: She was always positive with us and always made it

446
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: make sure that we were having fun love in the game.

447
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: That was elate. Anything else we need to know about

448
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: the Felino face off, seems like we covered everything. This

449
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: is beautiful.

450
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been awesome.

451
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: Yea. And he got your brother back out there in

452
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: the state, so he's ramping up all the time, regular

453
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: season playoffs or whatever. Lastly, I mean, it's happened Allie

454
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: on the other day, man, you know, like deep diving

455
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: to get ready for the interview. I knew this happened,

456
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: but I didn't see it. So I'm researching some things.

457
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: On his twenty first birthday. All right, you're you're in Raleigh,

458
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: and he gets into a fight, loses the fight, but

459
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: he's sticking up for somebody else. You never lose a fight,

460
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: you show up, right, Yeah, for somebody else. It's the

461
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: way you put it perfectly stated as an assist, and

462
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: on his twenty first birthday, he wins the game in

463
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: a sh shootout and when he skated over by the glass,

464
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: you're like the first one I saw and the smiles

465
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: on your guy's faces with this kid who had just

466
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: turned twenty one winning a game that that's going to

467
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: be an all timer from a memory standpoint, right.

468
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 6: That was an awesome night for him. He's you know,

469
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 6: especially stepping up first fight, not going all that well. Yeah,

470
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 6: probably still a lot of land on that shootout, but

471
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 6: he did a hell of a job and yeah, that's

472
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 6: something you'll never forget. And we gave him the Gordy

473
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 6: how on that night.

474
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he won't give it to himself, no, because

475
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: it was a shooting to him.

476
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 3: But that was awesome.

477
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Hey man, great having you on the squads. Meet I

478

00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 1: the bomb rop up to stay healthy, all right?

480
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: Sor panther for stilling.

481
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what now Anthony's gonna do. Unbeknownst to Anthony's

482
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: sticking around in another ten minutes. Now, Marcus and Nick Felino,

483
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Aaron sickman, Thank you very much. That was a plus.

484
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: Pollino face off, Uh, the final Filino face off tonight,

485
00:20:50,320 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: Blackhawks and wild We'll be right back, all right, So

486
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: to land the plane. Russo radio texted Maine, and I

487
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: think we got to him a little bit. He wants

488
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: to make sure he's going to Tuscany or is the

489
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: Turks and Caicos or this year we are.

490
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 4: We're going to Como and then the South of France

491
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: this summer, which is gonna be hell, Anthony, I have

492
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: I've never been to the South of France, so I'm

493
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 4: excited about that. We're going to Nis and Monaco and

494
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: one other stop I can't remember. But we're starting in Como,

495
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 4: which is one of my favorite spots out of all

496
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 4: of them we've been before, Como is one of the best.

497
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: And Russo's in the mix. Russo's in the mix.

498
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: Okay, you're good, Mike.

499
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's okay now.

500
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: And the people who go with us on these trips

501
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 4: know all too well, but it doesn't take very many

502
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 4: days for them to realize what the dynamic is between

503
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 4: Russell and I is that he'll he'll find a reason

504
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: to complain about something every day. And I, and it

505
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 4: bothers him with the best It bothers him as much

506
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: whatever it's bothering him that it doesn't bother me.

507
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: That seems to get him as riled up as anything.

508
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: A common thread. Nine to noon today, including with the coach,

509
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: is just the weird human nature part of the year.

510
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: Thirteen to go. You know, it's it's it worked out

511
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: okay with Heinze he ownership what I was saying. But

512
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you got percentages. It's it's an incredibly high

513
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: percentage that you're going to play Colorado or Dallas in

514
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: round one. In fact, let's call it a ninety nine

515
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: to eight. It's you know, to be on the road

516
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: for that series, relatively high percentage. But you get Dallas twice,

517
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: beat him twice in regulation, Scoop four give him zero.

518
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: Who knows that could change. But nevertheless, when you know

519
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: from your experience and it's fast and long with players,

520
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: especially when you kind of know what that carriage dangling

521
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: in front of you looks like. I'm not saying those

522
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: three losses to Philly and the Rangers and Toronto and

523
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: tightly knit fashion against victory against the Blackhawks plays into this.

524
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it can completely be eliminated because they

525
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: know our opponent's going to be one of these two.

526
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: We're most likely going to be on the road, and

527
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: that's human nature, which gets to win occasionally.

528
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that.

529
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 4: The only thing I would say is that in hockey's

530
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: a it's a fickle game, and it's a game that

531
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 4: has some a fluky nature to it where some nights

532
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 4: it's the reason you play eighty two games instead of seventeen. Yeah,

533
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 4: because there are so many nights where the puck hits

534
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 4: the post, the puck hits a skating goes in, or

535
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't.

536
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 3: And in those three games, the Wild were.

537
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 4: Not at their best, There's no doubt about it, and

538
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 4: it's been a theme for them this season. They're the

539
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 4: best team in the league against teams that are currently

540
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: in the top three in their division, best record in

541
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 4: the league, and they're twenty seventh when it comes to

542
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 4: teams that are out the playoffs, so they haven't matched

543
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 4: against the non playoff teams. But in those three games,

544
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 4: their game wasn't nearly as bad as the result of

545
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 4: three losses, and expected goals for as a percentage that

546
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: can usually give you an idea of whether you are

547
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: your game is good or not. Most nights, if you're

548
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: at sixty sixty five percent, you're gonna win. Eighty percent

549
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: of those games they were. They were over sixty percent

550
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: over the three game stretch, eighty percent in the third

551
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: period of those games. So I just don't think the

552
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: game was as bad as what it said. The puck

553
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: just didn't go in. Yeah, they had a.

554
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: Ton of chances on the power play.

555
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 4: They didn't score on the power play, so they they

556
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 4: lost some close games.

557
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 7: Was unbelievable in the Saturday game against the.

558
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: Game and Stolars, was unbelievable in the Sunday game against

559
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: Toronto and Bladar.

560
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I heard Wallasey with Nordo yesterday talking about

561
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: this this shot attempt thing, like eighty five to whatever,

562
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: Like holy cow.

563
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

564
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: And that was the even they talked about their slow starts,

565
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 4: and they did. They did start sharp against Philadelphia, but

566
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 4: in those three games they were still fifty five percent

567
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: in the first period. They were eighty percent in the third,

568
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 4: but fifty five percent in the first. I mean, it

569
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: just wasn't time to panic, is the point. And everybody

570
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: has these stretches. I put together some numbers before our

571
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: game in Chicago on Tuesday night. Minnesota, Colorado, Dallas three

572
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: of the best in the NHL. Colorado had a three

573
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: to five and two stretch earlier this year, yep. Five

574
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: of the ten were against non playoff teams. Yep, Dallas

575
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 4: had a two, six and four stretch. That's ten losses

576
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: in twelve games.

577
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: And injuries definitely played in part. And like Colorado hasn't

578
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: been a ten of ten recently. No, but then you

579
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: look at those injuries that they've had. When they get

580
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: those guys back, man, they're.

581
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 4: Good and the wild of they've battled injuries all year

582
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 4: and right now they were in a three, four and

583
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 4: two stretch.

584
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody has a stretch like that.

585
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 4: With the NHL system the way it is that, I

586
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: believe what separates the teams that end up at the

587
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 4: top and the teams that don't are the teams that

588
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 4: when you're in one of those ruts, you find a

589
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: way to push some games into overtime, steal a point

590
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 4: even when you're losing, and then nip them at eight

591
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: to ten games rather than.

592
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: Letting him stretch to twenty.

593
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what the wild had been able to

594
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 4: do three, four and two, and then they follow up

595
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 4: with a win in Chicago the other night, so they've

596
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: been able to cut those to cut their losses They've got.

597
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 4: They've pushed more games into overtime than any team in

598
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 4: the league this year, and that's a big reason why

599
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 4: they're sitting as comfortably as they are right now.

600
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 7: Anything with ch being out for a few games, I mean,

601
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 7: we're talking to you the idea down the stretch here

602
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 7: of Hines's ability to play around a bit with how

603
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 7: he might shape things into the playoffs. But this is

604
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 7: still now a team that isn't completely healthy. With with

605
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 7: Ech out a few games Brink, you know, he has

606
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 7: that cool game against the Mammoth last week and then

607
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 7: he gets nicked ups.

608
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: We want to see him back on the ice.

609
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 7: Anything with ch being out that kind of robs us

610
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 7: in the short term of you know, we got year off.

611
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: I think up in the top line again just kind.

612
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 7: Of forced to shift, versus is choosing to I guess

613
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 7: in this spot.

614
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both.

615
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 4: You obviously want to be healthy first and foremost, and

616
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: the luxury they have right now is that they do

617
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 4: know they're going to be in the playoffs, even though

618
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 4: I know mathematically they haven't clinched. So you can give

619
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 4: jule erk Sinak the time to get healthy and make

620
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 4: sure he's one hundred percent. But it opens the door

621
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 4: for some opportunity like we saw in Chicago the other night,

622
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 4: where some other guys got to play different roles. Ryan

623
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 4: Hartman on the top power play, McCarran played a more

624
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 4: significant role in the penalty kill, and you saw more

625
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 4: guys in face off spots because Eric Sinak takes as

626
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: many draws as anybody in the league. But I do

627
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 4: think from here to the finish, what's important for Hines

628
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 4: to be able to do is even if it's not

629
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 4: how you're going to start a game, what can I

630
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: go to if things aren't going well? And he showed

631
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 4: it the other night again against Toronto and Homer in

632
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: the third period, he went to Hartman, Tarasenko and Zucarello,

633
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: a combo we hadn't seen yet. Now in the back

634
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 4: of his mind he knows even if I want to

635
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: start a game with that Boldie Johansson together and Hartman

636
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: with Carill and Zuki, if things aren't going well, I

637
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 4: can shove Eric Sinek up between Caprisov and Boldie and

638
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 4: really load up a line and know that I've got

639
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: a secondary scoring line that might work with some chemistry.

640
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 4: So you get a chance to try some of those

641
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: things and maybe you get to try even more of

642
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 4: them without Eric Sinek in the lineup. You want him

643
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 4: in the lineup, no doubt, but it does give you

644
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 4: a chance. Let me see what EUROV looks like with

645
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 4: these guys for a full night and just see is

646
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: it something I could go to if all of a

647
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 4: sudden within a game things aren't clicking, or somebody's banged up,

648
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 4: or whatever it might be. So you get a chance

649
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 4: to experiment. We saw Brink with Eric Sinak and Boldi early.

650
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 4: Is he a guy that you could throw in the

651
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: top six, whether it be within a game or for

652
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 4: a game. Tarasenko up, There different possibilities here down the stretch.

653
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: I think we'll see a lot more of them. I

654
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 4: think tonight we're going to see some juggling on the

655
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: blue line. Where it's been favor with Quinn Hughes since

656
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: he's been here. Tonight, I think we're going to see

657
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: favor with Brodeine and spurgeon with Quinne. Just see how

658
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 4: you like it, See if it works, see if there's

659
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 4: something there. Maybe it's even in a third period protecting

660
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: a lead, where now I want to see more of

661
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 4: Favor and Brodeine together.

662
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: You're your old school best goal. So it doesn't matter

663
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: if you like three on three or not. With what

664
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm about to say, I'm going to take the leap

665
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: that you love calling it. I mean when it's three

666
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: on three, man, it's just I mean, I got all

667
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: your albums and and the jojo to the zuki to

668
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: win it. A little extra in there, but I'm you

669
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: love calling three on three, don't you?

670
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 4: I love three on three. I wish they'd tweak it

671
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 4: just a little bit now. The other night was thrilling.

672
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: It was back and forth. Likewise, two Blackhawks who couldn't

673
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: get off the ice, ice for two minutes, and that's

674
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: what they had in mind, and that was in the

675
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 4: If you remember when they first went to it, it

676
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: was chance, chance, chance, and now teams have become more

677
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: don't ever give up the puck, just hang on to it,

678
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: circle out of the zone.

679
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 3: I wish there was a way, yeah, and I know

680
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: there's loopholes to like, well, how would you do it?

681
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: But I wish they could do something that eliminated almost

682
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: like an old we're in back type thing in basketball,

683
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: where once you're in the zone, you can't just take

684
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: it back out to neutral icense circle. There have been

685
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: some games where it's it hasn't been as exciting just

686
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 4: for that reason, but I love it.

687
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: What I wish they get rid of is the shootout.

688
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: I can't stand this stef It just doesn't decide the

689
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: games three on three. It's exciting at least it's hockey. Yeah,

690
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: just the shootout to me is I'm tired of it.

691
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 7: I did want to get back And it's kind of

692
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 7: a weird way to end it because we we were

693
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 7: talking about three on three in the OT but a

694
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 7: week ago we have russo On and we're having conversations

695
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 7: with people. We're kind of talking it just kind of

696
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 7: underrated seasons. We focus so much on capriz Off and Boldie,

697
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 7: and then the trade deadline has us talking about bottom

698
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 7: six guys. And I was just thinking about Danilla year

699
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 7: off and what was expected for him to find meaningful

700
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 7: games and meaningful minutes, and then now what we've seen

701
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 7: over the course of the year.

702
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: What do you think of Danilla.

703
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: I think he's going to got a chance to be

704
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 4: a really good player. We earlier this season compared his

705
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: numbers at this point in his career to Jule Erickson,

706
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: and they were eerily similar and just that age, Yeah,

707
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 4: that far, that many games into his career and they're

708
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: still relatively similar. For that point in his career. Eric

709
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 4: Soneck was a little bit better on the faceoff dot.

710
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 4: Eurov has really struggled there, but he's a responsible player.

711
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 4: Hasn't necessarily shown electric offensive skill yet, but Eric Sinek

712
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 4: hadn't yet at that point in his career, and he's

713
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 4: turned into a very valuable offensive player. I still think

714
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: there's a chance that he turns into that type of guy.

715
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: Maybe not with quite the edge that Ericsoneck has, but

716
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: there are very few guys in the league that have that.

717
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: He might be as good a defensive forward there is

718
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 4: in the NHL, and so it's hard to say Eurov

719
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 4: could become that. He might have a little bit more

720
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 4: offensive upside in terms of creativity and explosiveness. We'll see,

721
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 4: but I think he's had a really good under the

722
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 4: radar rookie season. And there's a reason why when the

723
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 4: Wild made some of the moves they made, they were

724
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: willing to put Marco Rossi in the t ready to

725
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: bring Quinn Hughes because I think they liked what they

726
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: had seen from your off in terms of what might

727
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: be down the road for him.

728
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm really happy God chose to give you this evening

729
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: off to give you extra time to get ready for Saturday.

730
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Saturday, And I wish she hadn't. I hate nights off.

731
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 4: You know what it's like at this point in the season.

732
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 4: You want to be working at.

733
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 3: Radio, work them all, but only one a week.

734
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair boy, Hey, you are the best. And Marco,

735
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't stubborn.

736
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: He was the lead.

737
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: If he was stubborn, Nick Polino wouldn't have been on

738
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: the radio show. So I just.

739
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: Elite.

740
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what she's talking about. All right, I
