00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: And takes a big glass back to Carconia.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Whatever hit the gold post had, Gustafson found it behind

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: him through his glove on top of it before it

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: could cross the goal line.

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: Former Minnesota Wild goaltender and analysts for radio and TV,

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: the Great Alex Staylock, joins us at the Minnesota Wild

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: Morning Skate Philadelphia Flyers Philadelphia Flyers the bill of fare

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 3: of this evening now, you know, certainly not getting you

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: to confirm or deny anything. Generally speaking, I've been doing

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 3: Boxing the Box radio show since like two thousand and eight,

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 3: and generally, if you're like one of the last three,

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: four or five out here, that means you're probably dicey

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: to play this evening. And meanwhile, Minnetaka's Bobby Brink with

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: his former team in town tonight.

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 4: He's out there.

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: I know he got nicked up the other night, but

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: I find it as good news if only for one game.

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: Would you like to know why?

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: Well, one of those five or six is Mark Andre

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Fleury too, and I doubt he's going to play then

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: id either, but he's taken some shots from him that

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: looks like a few of the scratches. So cool. That's

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 2: that's flower.

24
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? I had no idea.

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 5: You've been doing it since, so aid he was like

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 5: ten years into his career.

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: Well he was.

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 6: He was putting a ton of work in during the

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 6: break too, right, Like he was the guy if you're

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 6: hanging back and your training you were, you were shooting

31
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 6: on flurry.

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 5: This is so good for the Wild group too.

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, to always have a goalie in the net

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: because a lot of these times both goalies might get

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: off and these guys just get forced into doing at

36
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: least to get the work on stuff. But back to

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: the brink thing. Yeah, yeah, we saw the ugly incident

38
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: that happened the other night. He went into the boards

39
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: ugly in his first game back or not back, but

40
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: playing in a Wild Spider Grand Casino, and the kid

41
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: came back, you know, and you don't know what is

42
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: going on with him, but obviously it was a it

43
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: was an ugly collision into the wall. And yeah, to

44
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: be out here still skating and then it looks like

45
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: it's more of a bag skate of conditioning skate that

46
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: unfortunately he might not be able to go tonight against

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: his ex team, and an opportunity to go against him

48
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: this quick.

49
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 5: It's just unfortunate. But this time of year, it means

50
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 5: two of that.

51
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: They're looking for what he's going to do into playoffs,

52
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: and they want health and if he's a little dinged up,

53
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: why not rest now?

54
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean why I said that this is not

55
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: the worst game for him to miss.

56
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: Me.

57
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's not saying his good news, but you know,

58
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: at least the organization and the general manager don't have

59
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: to worry about him being out in the by the

60
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: hockey lodge, sweating tickets for like one hundred and fifty people.

61

Speaker 4: Things well that Billy.

62
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,320

63
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: that first media scrum upon Yeah, you know, Billy's playing

64
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: fast right now?

65
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean not playing fast with what he's put

Speaker 3: together yet that he's playing fast there, he.

Speaker 3: Don Barrio who opens for the fabulous sports Babe.

71
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,880

Speaker 2: Every decision he's made this year is incredible and Uh No,

74
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,080

Speaker 2: five rinks coming here is obviously this is business. This

76
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,080

78

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 5: Uh, do you know what this league is all about?

80
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: And the separation between business on the ice and the

81
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: family life and the friends and they can take care

82
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: of themselves.

83
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,840

Speaker 3: like his office material or his desk was in an

107
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: area where he could turn one way and get the

108
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: player set up, turn the other way and get operations

109

Speaker 2: with to stop in Denver.

114
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: And he was truly.

115
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the popcorn machine running like.

116
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 6: He's everything candy, he's getting the soda things stocked.

117
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: He did everything down to Iley, he did it all.

118
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: And now he comes up here and he bosses around

119
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: his engineer up in the booth. So it's great to

120
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: see that it's come full circle. And no, we love

121
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: our Buds here and he's he's great. You make up

122
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: that nickname for him? Yes, because because it could be No,

123
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: it was the coach they had, uh, Torchetti. Yeah, they

124
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: called everybody Bubbsy or bubbs down. And it was like,

125
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 2: can we not Johnett, Yeah, can we not call everybody

126
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: bubbs or Bubba Bubba? I think it was it was

127
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: an easy thing. Bubba everything was.

128
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: The elite Torchetti Boston accent.

129
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Buddy can do it well. And I said,

130
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: let's just change it up. Can I call you Budzy

131
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: then instead of Bubby or Bubbsy or whatever it was.

132
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: And so that's how it started. And then obviously we

133
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: talked about with his open door policy or locked there

134
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 2: up having a door in his office.

135
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 5: It was our relationship crew, and no, I just.

136
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: Always stay in contact with him, and now obviously to

137
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: get the opportunity up here doing radio calls for the while, it's, uh,

138
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: it's fun to see and uh, you know he does

139
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: a great job.

140
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: When La Panta opens tonight on fan Duel and he

141
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: comes to you for the analysis of like, hey tell

142
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: us about the Flyers beat beat the Caps last night

143
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: four to one with their backup goaltender beating Wild five

144
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: last six, including the year two to one overtime six

145
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: game of the season. When you get a chance to

146
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: talk after Anthony talks for ninety straight seconds, what you

147
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: would you consider saying, you know, the Wilder mine is

148
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: two fifty tonight, and like go it's first FanDuel the

149
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: network's fan duel. Right, So, hey, the Wilder mine is

150
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: two fifty tonight. I think that's a little dicey. Yeah,

151
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: I think the Wild are gonna win. But Vladar has

152
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: a ninety and a half save percentage, he's twenty and eleven,

153
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 3: and they've given the Wild trouble over the years. So

154
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, Anthony, but I'm a little

155
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: I'm a little soft on given that minus two fifty,

156
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: how would that go tonight?

157
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: Get him the plus one and a half?

158
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: But you know what, I probably would be back on

159
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't be back on Saturday at five versus you.

160
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: Know you know what, Anthony, that minus one and a

161
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: half at even money.

162
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 4: That was good. It looks good enough to eat.

163
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: I'd have voices in my head said talking to me

164
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: in the cut, cut cut, Yeah no, but it's I

165
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: mean again, it's a Wild team that catches a team

166
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: on the second end of a back to back.

167
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a hotel for you.

168
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know what. They they're three and six

169
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: on back to backs this year. In their last three

170
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: back to backs the Flyers, they've been outscored seventeen seven.

171
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: So they're three and six, but they've lost their last three,

172
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: outscored seventeen seven. So I know they've had a lot

173
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: of success against the Wild, but back to backs with

174
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: travel for them, man, they've been a complete disaster with

175
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: that for like the last two months.

176
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, and they're gonna get in late. And

177
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: I even I what caught the end of that game

178
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: last night and Bissonato was a TNT game and he

179
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: interviewed Travis Connectney after the game. I think it was

180
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 2: Connecting's birthday. I think turned twenty nine, but he mentioned

181
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: what do you want for your birthday? And he said,

182
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: I'd like to teleport to Minnesota.

183
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: So he was.

184
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Already thinking about it's already thinking about the back to back.

185
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: The game just got over your best. What he's talking

186
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: about was immediately just getting the Minnesota. It's already on

187
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: their mind. They know they're rolling into a building in

188
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: Grand Casino. It's so hard to play. They saw what

189
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: Minnesota did at the deadline, and you know, with you

190
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: s spreading this flight, and maybe they celebrated his birthday

191
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: in a different way on the flight, who knows.

192
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: Oh wow, there's that too.

193
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 5: There's that.

194
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: So with everything you just said, the wild just went

195
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: to mindus two seventy Alex staylock nine to noon.

196
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 6: I still like the plus one and a half on

197
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 6: the puck line, but we shall see. Hey, we had

198
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 6: John Hines on earlier and he was he was chatting

199
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 6: about really loving the the idea that Krill during the

200
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 6: Olympic break got the chance to go home and see

201
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 6: his family and that you know, and he worries. I

202
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 6: mean probably there weren't any but the idea of how

203
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 6: he was going to take advantage of this time off

204
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: and be ready for the for the resuming of the season.

205
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: What have you said?

206
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 6: I mean, number ninety seven is high end, I get it,

207
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 6: But just what have you seen from Carill since they

208
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 6: returned from the break. A lot of guys trying to

209
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 6: manage sleep in such post Olympics, but for him just

210
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 6: kind of full speed ahead.

211
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: Hasn't it been.

212
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, for Carill it's uh, you know, the Russian team

213
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: obviously wanted to assemble a team and play and be there.

214
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: And he loves hockey, loves competition, and he would have

215
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: loved to be at the Olympics. But for the Wild,

216
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: selfishly for them, for general manager Bill Garron, for Hines,

217
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, to get rest for him.

218
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: He plays a hard game. It's not just he doesn't

219
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: play on.

220
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: The primter and and you know, want to play an

221
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: easy game everything. He plays a physical game and plays,

222
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, on the edge every night. And to get

223
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: time off for his body to rest, you see. You know,

224
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: it's paying dividends here already this part of the year,

225
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: you know, when when games are tough, hard, hard games

226
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: to put points away.

227
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's it's.

228
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: Such a good thing for the Wild for him to

229
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: get rest and he's fully energized. And we talked about

230
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: that coming out of the Olympic break. The Wild had

231
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: a back to back right away, and it's like, you know,

232
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: the one thing that they could trade for right now

233
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: is maybe some some sleep and some uh you know,

234
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: a little bit of break. And it seems so weird

235
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: having however, many days off, a couple of weeks off.

236
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: And you're asking for a break already.

237
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: But having eight Olympians or whatever it was, they came

238
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: back and it was right to it. And obviously, you know,

239
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: having three US members, it wasn't just the tournament, it

240
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: was the celebration after and that had to be a

241
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: little bit tiring as well. And yeah, they jumped right

242
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: into it and there was no rest for those guys.

243
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: But I do think at some only once the standings

244
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: probably kind of start to settle if they do in obviously,

245
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota is playing for home ice, Like are they finish Dallas? Yes,

246
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: but they're obviously gonna they want home ice, and that's

247
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: a huge goal because there has been struggles in that building.

248
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: It's a hard building to play. So if you can

249
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: start obviously at home and get a home ice, that's huge.

250
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: But can you arrest you know, a boldy on a night?

251
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: Can you arrest and Eric Sinak on a night that

252
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: you know you can get away with it in some

253
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: games and you might see that here down the stretch

254
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: And the same thing with the goaltenders.

255
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: How much is Gus gonna play on the stretch?

256
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: How fresh they want him in the playoffs, he got

257
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: seventeen games is something that Wally's gonna play maybe seven

258
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: of those seventeen. Yeah, and that's something that I'm sure

259
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: the goaltender coach, Freddie Schabat is gonna sit down with

260
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Guss and discuss, you know, like ideally, if we give

261
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: everything works perfect, we stay healthy, here's what it's going

262
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: to look like.

263
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: How do we want to get your own in the playoffs.

264
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 6: And over the course of time. I mean, you played

265
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 6: in this league, so kind of understanding managing rest over

266
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 6: the course of a season, and that's been a bigger

267
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 6: topic of conversation in recent years now with the Four

268
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 6: Nations Management Olympics load management.

269
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: But this ain't.

270
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: This ain't a load management league, Alex No.

271
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 6: And so you have you seen anything different where this

272
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 6: is maybe how the team would handle certain aspects of

273
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 6: a busy week or a klompy schedule versus even when

274
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 6: you play kind of an evolution to it at all.

275
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think so on the while to

276
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: put themselves in a spot where they have the fortunes

277
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: of doing that. You know, there's how many teams in

278
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 2: the league that are you know, can really say they're

279
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: in the races are so tight in some of those

280
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: wildcard races, they can't afford that. And teams are playing

281
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: playoff games down the stretch every single night, where the while,

282
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: if if a guy's a little banged up, a little

283
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: dinged up, it might be a night where they get

284
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: a game or two off to fully heal. Because once

285
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: you get into the playoffs, there's no sitting out at

286
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: no time for rest.

287
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 5: So I think that's something Hines will take advantage of.

288
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: And yeah, you talk about this league, these guys don't

289
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: want to take breaks, and you look at the bottom

290
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 2: six and you know, when everybody's healthy, there's going to

291
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: be three solid forwards out who wants to give up

292
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 2: their spot for a.

293
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 5: Guy that's going to go in. And we love the

294
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: way you played.

295
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: Now you're in the rotation of city out in and

296
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: the depth in this team. Now the addition since the trade,

297
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: that deadline's so huge and nobody wants to be no one.

298
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: No one wants to.

299
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: Be out and you take a night off, it could

300
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: be potentially you know, sitting for a few.

301
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 4: Have you.

302
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: From your experience in the NHL when it comes to

303
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: decisions like you're just talking about, are they generally match

304
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: up based. I mean, if you're talking about a handful

305
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: of what's going on, Kyle, all the food has arrived

306
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: coming over. But we got meatballs.

307
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: What's up?

308
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: Brother?

309
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: What he got Swedish Quinnesota meatballs?

310
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: Really Minnesota? Though hotly, that's a good thing. You didn't

311
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: name it brink of soda.

312
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 6: But go ahead and the meatball hogiates available on the

313
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 6: main concourse and a little bit of the proceeds, forty

314
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 6: three cents go to Quinn Hughes's charity.

315
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: Say that last part, forty three cents goes where to

316
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: Quinn Hughes's charity. Oh that's great. So so Hughes is

317
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: impacting the organization more so than just on the ice.

318
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: You got Quinn Hughes Foundation or whatever it is, and

319
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: you guys have teamed with them as executive chefs.

320
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: You want to go with where? Where? Where can we

321
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: get these meatball sandwiches again on the main concourse by

322
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: section one twelve? Right on?

323
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 6: Brother?

324
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: Thank you?

325
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 5: Continue guy?

326
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah for sure.

327
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, stay Lock took one look at me and he's like,

328
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 6: you want to go with the sub.

329
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 4: How would you do that?

330
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 3: What you said you're going by had bigger Budsy. You

331
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: think he's biggest, but my biggest Pupsy.

332
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 5: Now where we go? Where were we at for.

333
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: Talking about the competitive nature of battling to not be

334
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: a healthy scratch matchups?

335
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 4: Is it?

336
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: Is?

337
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 4: It is by game matchup deal or what a.

338
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: Little bit when you get into a series, you know

339
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: what the other team has, right. I think there's certain

340
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: spots that Hines wants to play guys. You know, there's

341
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: certain guys that are sitting out that maybe they're going

342
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: to go in and ideally they're going to be on

343
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: that fourth line.

344
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: They're gonna be an energy, they're going to play physical.

345
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: Where if you get a Fabriary or whoever, you know,

346
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: is he going to be an effective on the fourth line,

347
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: He's going to be more of a guy that's going

348
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: to be in that third line spot. It's just different scenarios.

349
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: Special teams plays a huge role. I heard Kevin Gorg

350
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: talking about that and it's uh, in playoffs that's so huge,

351
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: and that's kind of been a point for the Wild.

352
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: Is a penalty kill you know some league the Olympics.

353
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: Yes, but in playoffs it's been exposed a little bit

354
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: in some of these series. And but like you mentioned,

355
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: you saw what Team USA did and the penalty kill

356
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: in the Olympics, and now not that this is the

357
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: same group, but favor was a huge part of that,

358
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: and now the Wild has tookn a huge step in

359
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: the penalty penalty kill department here post Olympic break.

360
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: Well, let me let me ask you something dumb about.

361
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 6: So in the playoffs though, kind of the trademark of

362
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 6: the idea is a little bit of swallowing the whistles,

363
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 6: and teams play a bit differently because of how much

364
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 6: one power player one p k L can swing a

365
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 6: game that then potentially swings a series. So in terms

366
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 6: of does does the refereeing change, how much does the

367
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 6: vibe change? Maybe to protect yourself from certain special team

368
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 6: situations once you get into the playoffs.

369
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: Well, the Wild this year have been one of the

370
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: least penalized teams in the league. So I mean that's

371
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: great for them going into playoffs, and then those numbers

372
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: obviously throughout the duration of a season means something and

373
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: the reps will look at that, you.

374
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: Know, they're a lower penalized team.

375
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: But I did listen to Bruce Boudreau on radio, who's

376
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: coached in a ton of playoffs series that in the

377
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: first round they.

378
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: Don't put you.

379
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: Ain't missing a trick?

380
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's right like that first round they say, hey,

381
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: you know we're gonna play you know called sam. As

382
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: the regular season, they're still more calls than uh then

383
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: you think in a normal playoff series. But I think

384
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: as it goes on, it tightens up. The physicality picks up.

385
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you watch the last two Stanley Cups. Three

386
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: Florida's been a part of They're a physical team, in

387
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: your face. They play a rugged style and you know

388
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: they never got themselves indepenalty trouble and that's how they play.

389
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: That's been kind of the staple, and teams have done

390
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: that because it's a copycat league. How are we gonna

391
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: get better? We get bigger, we get tougher, we get stronger,

392
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: what the wild do at the deadline? Are they all

393
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: copycat leagues? We hear it in the NFL, We just

394
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: heard it in the NHL and in the NBA. Clearly

395
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: it's a copycat league because everybody's imitating load management and

396
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: sitting people out and making games unwatchable.

397
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: So but anyway, go ahead, Well.

398
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 6: So you were you were up at Mile High for

399
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 6: that Abs game, and sadly you lose in the shootout there.

400
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 6: I think it was McKinnon with the dagger, but I

401
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 6: think there were five for five the Wild were on

402
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 6: the PK that day. I mean, you're talking just a

403
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 6: barrage that you're potentially taking from the Abs. How fun

404
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 6: was it to watch that game mile High? As heated

405
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 6: as that contest can be.

406
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's gonna be a playoff. It was a

407
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: playoff atmosphere, and it's gonna be like that. The Wild

408
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: off Dallas a few more times too in the regular season,

409
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: and I think April ninth is the final one of

410
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: that game is going to be uh down in Dallas's

411
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be there next weekend there actually in Dallas.

412
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: I think it's April ninth is that game. But you know,

413
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: Colorado's interesting. They got one of the lowest rated power

414
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: plays in the league. I just can't figure it out.

415
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: They're like twenty ninth in the league on their power

416
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: w Yeah, skilled day, a skilled day. Were they o

417
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: for five that day? They were over five and in

418
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: the penalty kill did a great job. But Wally that

419
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: night was incredible. Some of the saves he had, or

420
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: unbelievable backdoor plays that McKinnon gets these looks and he

421
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: doesn't miss unless it's the Olympics and misses a net.

422
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 2: But it was, you know, a huge shave that led

423
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: to that Nico Storm shorthanded goal, and a lot of

424
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: times you see a huge save lead to lead to

425
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: a goal the other way. And you talk about the

426
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: depth on this team, and it looks like Sturm's going

427
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: to be out again tonight, but you know it's guy

428
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 2: scores a goalies out the next night.

429
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: That's weird.

430
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: It's just crazy how how deep this team is, and

431
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: you know the role he plays. But goaltending was unbelievable

432
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: that night for the while, but it was fairly. The

433
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: shots were thirty four to thirty three. It was an

434
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: evenly played game. Both goalies were good on each end.

435
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: And then you know McKinnon, who took a penalty in

436
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: ot didn't get to go on the first three he

437
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: went forth and.

438
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: You're you're burying the lead.

439
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: The highlight of your days, these meatballs, No meeting the

440
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: box of ball boxes, ever to box.

441
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: The bathroom ball around? Where was I going? You were

442
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: in the bathroom, No I went down. I went down

443
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: to the main level to try to find something for

444
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: my daughters that I get on our way rinks, and

445
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 2: they just it wasn't a great spread for avalanche off.

446
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 5: The line was a little bit Longah.

447
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 2: So I decided to go back into the elevator shaft

448
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: area and then walked Alan Roach, which Kelly Burnham.

449
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, nice to meet you. Far. There was no voice.

450
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 5: There was no voice, and I knew he did it

451
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 5: in that building.

452
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: And how'd you know it was him?

453
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: He looked like if I drew, if I pictured Alan,

454
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: I was like, this guy has to have this voice.

455
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 4: That's fantastic.

456
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: So so I'm standing there waiting for the elevator, no talk.

457
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: He gets in, still nothing. He's on his phone and

458
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: he's got his badge on and I'm trying to position

459
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: myself and move a little bit in the elevator to

460
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: get a look at his badge, and all I could

461
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: see was a C H on the end of his

462
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: and I was like, yes, that's him.

463
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 5: I said, are you excuse me you, Alan Roach?

464
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes I am, And I was like, I have heard

465
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: you on nine to noon. I'm friends with Pa and

466
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: blah blah, I've heard down the show, said excuse me,

467
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: who are you?

468
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 5: And then he came in for.

469
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: To talk to Budsy a little Budsy and UH went

470
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: over pronunciations of our names and uh. And then I

471
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: got to witness it. He sat right below us to

472
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: the left. He had the camera going, he had himself

473
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: set up, and it's just it's unbelievable.

474
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 5: That voice. It's just incredible.

475
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, for for Alan Uh, for the box of ball

476
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: boxes ever to box one a US Bank Stadium and

477
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: Ballerina it it. You know, it was eye opening for

478
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: him and I think he's done it before, but it

479
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 3: was eye opening being the vox in Milan at those

480
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: Olympic games and he's right next to the penalty box,

481
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: so I mean he's ice side for like the fastest

482
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 3: games anybody has ever seen. Some of those games were

483
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: so fast consistently. Then he comes back to ball arena.

484
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: He loves the job, but he's way up there. It

485
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 3: was just a stark change, you know, it's.

486
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: Such a difference ice level. And sorry, I'm trying to

487
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: finish this meatball.

488
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: No it's okay, No, I'll talk for a second so

489
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: you can finish it. But like those two games I

490
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to call twenty twenty one or twenty

491
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: twenty two for the wild it's the options. I think

492
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: it was Vancouver and Vegas they played. Is They're like, Okay,

493
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: well you can do these two games, and you're going

494
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: to do them from the press box, and I'm like, well,

495
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: I would prefer not to because if I scream Andy's loose,

496
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 3: the last thing I need is thirty year Vancouver Canucks

497
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: beat writer guy looking up at me and flipping me off.

498
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 3: The last thing I want to do is have to

499
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: walk in New Orleans for two days by myself, because

500
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: it's something I said, So, if it's possible, can I

501
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: do them from a suite? And it was not the

502
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 3: lowest level and it was in the corner, but they

503
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: acquiesced and there were a bunch of people in there,

504
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: which I like, You've been in the booth at Canterbury

505
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 3: when a lot of people are there, or the vox

506
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: box at the US Bank Stadium. And that lower angle

507
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: bit makes especially if you're doing something for the first time,

508
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: that lower angle bit makes a major difference.

509
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: It's crazy how fast the game isn't how much space

510
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: there is two I mean, call a game from the lord,

511
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 2: you get it. People want to sit front row and

512
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: you don't get to see the whole game. And that's

513
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: why a lot of times when they, you know, guys

514
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: early on in their career, they're young, they get healthy

515
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: scratch and the front office or the coaches say, watch

516
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: the game from up top because it just it seems

517
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: so slow. There's so much space on the ice from

518
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: up top, and all of a sudden you get ice level,

519
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: and yeah, how does this guy see this laying? How

520
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: does that pucket through?

521
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: It's just it's a totally different game from seat one

522
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 5: up to you know, the top rower.

523
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: We said, well, I mean, Kenny Albert is awesome at

524
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: what he does, Eddie Oldzeck Bouche all that. I mean

525
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 3: that they're high end broadcasting talent in my opinion. But

526
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 3: like when they call a game at Rand Casino Arena,

527
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: they're up right next to her apparent.

528
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 4: Now, let's go back in the day when when I

529
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: snapped her out.

530
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: One day, they'll have the three man crew and Bush

531
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: or Jody Shelley, he'll be ice level. So they for

532
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: them and they have the three man teams. Sometimes so unfortunate,

533
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 2: but is so good. Okay, awesome. But here's but here's

534
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: when I'm getting apped. When I first met Doc Emrick, okay, Doc,

535
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: and he's sitting upstairs. Doc was opposite the benches, opposite

536
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: the visitor's bench at the top of the first level,

537
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: and they like carve out a niche for him when

538
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: he's gonna call games there for him and the analyst.

539
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: Everybody else does it upstairs.

540
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: Nah, Docs like correning sounds better when you're down here

541
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 3: as opposed to up there. So Doc Emerck has guidelines,

542
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: everybody else has rules.

543
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: There's a few rinks where they have the ability to

544
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: get well, and I know in Dallas, for example, they're

545
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 2: down off on the main concourse, but there's only a

546
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: fews that have the ability.

547
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: To get down to that level and makes a huge difference.

548
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 3: Stick around for another segment. All right, we'll do wow.

549
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 3: All right, we say goodbye. If you really are that

550
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: into those meatballs, I'm going number two here, Alex, staylock

551
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: nine to noon back after this.

552
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 7: The only competition that we want to be a real team,

553
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 7: so not everybody can play every night. So I think

554
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 7: the way that we handle and communicate with the guys

555
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 7: that aren't and be in a lineup, the guys that

556
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 7: are not in the lineup, how they handle it, which

557
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 7: is important to being a team, but also understanding guys

558
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 7: may come in and out. It may be performance related

559
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 7: or it might not be. But we want to make

560
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 7: sure that everyone feels important and valued because we're gonna need,

561
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 7: as we said to the team, every guy in that

562
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 7: meeting room, you know when we meet here in a

563
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 7: little while, they're important to our team. We're gonna need

564
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 7: them down the stretch and into the playoffs.

565
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: Got John Hines, head coach of the Minnesota Wild, on

566
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: nine to noon about two and a half hours ago,

567
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: talking about the depth of the lineup. We just chatted

568
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: about that with former Wild goaltender Alex Staylock and Bobby

569
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 3: Brink and Nico Sturm. Looks like both are going to

570
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: be out tonight, so that just plays into depth. Said lineup.

571
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: Against the Philly team that beat Washington last night four

572
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: to one, had to travel Nick Stealer.

573
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 4: Do you know Nick Stealer at all?

574
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: Really?

575
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we would talk about that twenty sixteen experience

576
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: on any when Nick was down there for a bit

577
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: and then ended up we kind of came back up

578
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: here at the same time and spend time with Nick

579
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: up here, and you know what you're gonna get out

580
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: him every single night. And yeah, he's a competitor who

581
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: wears it on his sleeve every night. He blocks a

582
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: ton of shots, He'll fight. He's ultimate team guy. And

583
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: you know when Tortorella was there, he loved what Nick

584
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: Sealer brought.

585
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 5: Now, Rick Cocket the same thing.

586
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: Hardenols player, blue collar, you know, coach what he wants,

587
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: is looking for what he wants.

588
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 5: And Nick Steeler is you know, cut from that mold.

589
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: Well, you're an elite hockey mind, Okay, so I follow

590
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: it more than I think, you know, people would realize. However,

591
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm not going out of my way with the center

592
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: ice package to watch Flyers games.

593
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: I'm just not.

594
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: So Therefore, I look at this lineup and I look

595
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: at their roster. I mean, you being an elite hockey

596
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 3: mind and calling games on radio and TV, dude, do

597
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 3: you know like a little something about most, if not

598
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: all of these people, Like, for instance, who's Denver.

599
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 5: Barkley or Denver bark Denver Barkie. Yeah, he he's.

600
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: A younger player obviously in this league. But you know

601
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: they've they've they've trail and there on tippets. A guy

602
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: that can skate for them, and he's had a good

603
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 2: year for them. He can shoot the pucket. He's one

604
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: guy that connect me. Brought up last night on the

605
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: post game too, he said he probably got the best

606
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: shot on this team, which you know, he brings speed

607
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: and then and I think there's a stat they posted

608
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: last night he's got the second highest speed burst throughout

609
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: the season over twenty two miles an hour, next to

610
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: Connor McDavid.

611
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 5: So he's a guy.

612
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Wild.

613
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 5: Defense are gonna have to be ready for.

614
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: But you look at guys like Jamie Drysdale who came

615
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: over in the Anaheim trade with Trevor Zegris, who you

616
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: know is good. It was plans in Anaheim for you know,

617
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: them to be the core. And you know Padford beak

618
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: out Anaheim moves on two guys that potentially were you know,

619
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: the face of the franchise out there. That's shocking, and

620
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: they go out Anaheim. They take a guy from Philadelphia

621
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: and Cutter GoChi, who you know did not want to

622
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: sign and fill for whatever reason, ends up in Anaheim.

623
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: Now you get these two young studs going the other way,

624
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: and he talk about Trevor Segrest the skill he has.

625
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 5: It's Connor.

626
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: Connor Rocher.

627
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 5: Was drafted by draft.

628
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: No relation to Seanturieraturion because they're spelled different. Okay, well

629
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 3: I understand that. But see I'm looking at Katurier and

630
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: I honestly haven't heard of him. But in researching some

631
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: Bobby Clark Broad Street Bullies type.

632
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 5: Information, you see some pictures of his teeth.

633
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: Well, no, I haven't, No, but he's been around a while. Yes,

634
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 3: he's like played for this team forever, hasn't.

635
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's probably the longest tenured guy on this Philly team.

636
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: And you know he's played hard minutes. I thought you

637
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: said he pulled up some pictures of him and Bobby

638
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 2: Clark because he's missing some and he plays the.

639
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 4: Hard way, but.

640
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: He wears, you know, he wears the sea for that

641
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: group and no bringing in those young guys. And now

642
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: you and Jack Alex Bomb, who gets to play in

643
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: the you know, Grand Scene Arena for the first time

644
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 2: coming back home, who's already got a goal in his

645
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 2: career three games in.

646
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 5: It's a it's a group that you know they're rebuilding.

647
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: They need to get back in the playoffs. Philly's a

648
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: hard market to plan. They demand success. And you know,

649
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: Danny Breres, you've done a great job of flipping the

650
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: roster and trying to get pieces in and and one

651
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: guy they're hoping for is Mitch Cobbin. You know, he

652
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: came into the year of the talk was well, maybe

653
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: he wasn't out of shape or maybe in shape. He

654
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: didn't have the greatest summer, you know, and talk it's

655
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: been hard on him. And he's the guy that everybody's

656
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: wondering what one's he gonna turn into the superstar anticipated

657
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: It just hasn't happened yet. But he's another guy, a

658
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: young guy that they're hoping, you know, can be a

659
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: core of this group for a long time.

660
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 6: You know, you're you're not that far removed from being

661
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 6: in the net yourself, Alex. And when you're looking at

662
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 6: you're analyzing these games and you're looking at these.

663
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: Rosters, is it like one of the first things.

664
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 6: You do, you're like, Okay, let me see, uh this

665
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 6: guy got the best to me.

666
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Ooh, I had a dominating performance against this guy.

667
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 6: This guy didn't stand a freaking chance against me four

668
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 6: years ago. You play that game at all. As you

669
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 6: get ready to analyze these games.

670
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: I'd try to do that the ladder and say this

671
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: guy doesn't stand a chance against me. But then I'd

672
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: always talk myself into maybe he does stand a chance. No,

673
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 2: but you look down this roster and it's a team

674
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: that you know it doesn't score a ton of goals.

675
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: And now they're they're fighting to to stay into the

676
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: playoff hunt.

677
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: But are they really in the hunt?

678
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 5: Is is it still that they're like six points back?

679
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 5: I think seven points dead? Okay, so said they're dead,

680
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 5: they think they are. No, that's all you said.

681
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: I'll give you eight to one.

682
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 3: Uh if they make the playoffs my eight, my eight

683
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: against your one.

684
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 4: But you got to talk about it in the open

685
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: of the fan duel game.

686
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 5: Tonight right after that minus two fifty.

687
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: Do you look up and down the Flyers roster? Do

688
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 3: you see anybody who scored on you? Like has Luke

689
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: Glenn Denny never scored on you?

690
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: I think he has when he was in Dallas, to

691
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: be honest, been around.

692
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 5: I'm sure tip it has one.

693
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: Come on, man, he ain't got any on you.

694
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: Nick Steeler had something in practice. No, okay, it's former

695
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: still water Pony and unb Bulldogs. That's exciting for him

696
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: to obviously come back and play home. He's he's a

697
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: guy that you know, he's a player that.

698
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: You know.

699
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 5: Tockett loves to have it. He can he can do

700
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 5: it all.

701
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: He plays the right way two hundred feet game and no,

702
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not gonna be an easy night for

703
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: the while. There's a lot of these guys are playing

704
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: for jobs and and you know, spots next year on

705
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: the roster, and there's gonna be call ups here down

706
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: the stretch from the American League. And like you said,

707
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: they got their number one goaltender going tonight too as well.

708
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 5: So it's a.

709
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: Wild win by three or more tonight. Okay, hey, this.

710
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: Is super premature.

711
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 6: Okay, but but come playoff, Like, what's the process now

712
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 6: with fewer than twenty what is it seventeen eighteen games

713
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 6: left where Hines starts getting into the mode of okay,

714
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 6: it's gonna be all gust buss, It's it's it's gonna

715
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: be all gust of sin in that opening series or

716
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 6: is there an element of thought around how there could

717
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: potentially be a rotation in the postseason, because that.

718
00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if playoffs were to start today, it's gonna

719
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: be the way he's played since Olympic break. He's got

720
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: like a nine to sixty save percentage, he's shade over

721
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: one goals against.

722
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: He's been unbelievable since coming out of break.

723
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 6: I mean, we harke him back to like Manny and

724
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 6: Dwayne right, like this dynamic duo. And it just feels like,

725
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 6: maybe it seems unrealistic that you would truly have a

726
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 6: fifty to fifty split in a playoff series.

727
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, especially with days off, and I don't

728
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: think that's the case right now. Gus is you know,

729
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: as of right now, Gus is gonna be the day one,

730
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: seld be the guy. Yeah, and yeah, you pray for

731
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: health down the stretch for both goalies. And the one

732
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: thing you talk about, though, you know, is how long

733
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: is the leash if you go down and you lose

734
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: two on the road or whatever it may be. And

735
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: sometimes you look at cases where there's been rookie goaltenders

736
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: that came in and won Stanley Cops In Jordan Bennington,

737
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: Cam Wharton, Carolina, Matt Murray and Pittsburgh, and sometimes it's

738
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: just that that young and I don't want to say, dumb,

739
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: You're not You're not aware enough.

740
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: We got to go into the moment.

741
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: You just go in and playing like I'm here to

742
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: win a game. I don't care about Amy Ben, I

743
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: don't care. It's Tyler Sagan, I don't care. Uh, you

744
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: know who Robertson or Wyatt Johnson, they all he's a

745
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: right handed shot, he's a left handed shot.

746
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 4: I don't care who they are.

747
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna stop the puck and get a win

748
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 5: and get out of here.

749
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 3: Hey, so well, since you went down that road and

750
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: they have two left with Dallas, and you know, I mean,

751
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: it's hockey and it's age old where with respect, home

752
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: ice does not matter as much in this game in

753
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: the postseason as it does in some others. It's such

754
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: a tightly contested game, puck cluck, stuff like that. However,

755
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: be great to have it with those two left with Dallas.

756
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Johnston, why at John Stunn, Centerman, fantastic, Robertson,

757
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: all the names you're you Ottinger. Do do you think

758
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: or or how much do you think the Wild are

759
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: is equipped for a series against the Dallas Stars, Because

760
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: it's been a problem in the.

761
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: Past now with Vegas, Colorado.

762
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: And Dallas hasn't been as much problem this year during

763
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: the season as it had previously. But like its gonna

764
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: be that it doesn't matter if it's here or there

765
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: for home ice advantage. But what do you like about

766
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 3: the Wild against Dallas? A veteran team that's just tough.

767
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: I think superstar for superstar. The top six. I love

768
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: where the Wild they're at.

769
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: They got two guys in the top five and goal

770
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: scoring and you know how often does that happen here

771
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: in Minnesota?

772
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: And the depth.

773
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: You talk about the depth, I think the Wild bottom

774
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: six compared to Dallas is bottom six.

775
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 5: He put him on paper right next to each other.

776
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: I think anybody's probably gonna take the Wild bottom six

777
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: the depth they have. And you talk about home ice

778
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: and line matchups, are they big? And sometimes yes, heinz, Hey,

779
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: how what are you gonna do tonight?

780
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 5: For lines?

781
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: Some games you know he's you know, to be honest,

782
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna roll them. And uh, but you go

783
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: into a playoff series and you know you're gonna He's

784
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: gonna have Eric Sineck out there against certain guys and

785
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: he's so effective in a playoff series but.

786
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so tightly contested.

787
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: You do get the last change and you get a

788
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: chance to see potentially the matchups that you know Hines

789
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: is going to roll out in the game here in

790
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: a week and change on Saturday, and then in Dallas

791
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: on April ninth. You see, you'll see what Dallas does

792
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: as far as what they want for matchups, and you know,

793
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: leading into potentially if that is the series. As of

794
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: right now, it looks like, you know, it's a hygh

795
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: percentage it's gonna be Dallas, whether it's at Grand Casino

796
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: or I believe it's American Airline Center, And yeah, it'll

797
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: be uh, it'll be a telling tale to see the

798
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: lines and the compos and who Heines goals with.

799
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: You know, I don't I don't want to speak for Nordo,

800
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: but we've joked about it before. But the last change bit,

801
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it's okay, it's see laughs because it takes

802
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: place right there to start the game.

803
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: Okay, But but so many.

804
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: Things change during the course of a game with matchups

805
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: and what you could be deceptive, what would it be

806
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: April ninth, You could be deceptive April ninth. Maybe they

807
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: get a little intel on it and then you come

808
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: out with something different. But like, why is last change

809
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: over the body of a game so important?

810
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: Well, if you watch a bench in the playoff series,

811
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: you watch the coaches. And I mean when I was

812
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: in San Jose at the time, Jay Woodcroft, who ended

813
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: up getting a head coaching job in Edmonton, he's actually

814
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: assistant Anaheim.

815
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 5: Now, I mean one of his jobs in.

816
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: Playoffs was literally just to stare at the other bench,

817
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: and I remember team's getting so pissed at him. They

818
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: get a defender up and not allow him to see

819
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: through because he was staring at the coach who he

820
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: was going with next. You know, you can tell a

821
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: coach sometimes he's going Belichick on. You know, he'd be

822
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: if we're playing Anaimy.

823
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 5: You could hear him. You can hear him.

824
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 2: You can hear him say gets Loops up next, or whatever,

825
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: you know. And so now he'd relay that down to

826
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: Todd mccallaugh at the time, saying, Hey, they're gonna go

827
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 2: gets Loft. Now Todd was thinking of who he's gonna

828
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: send out next.

829
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: Gets Loops up next, Let's put Felinos in there to

830
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: beat Hi Mouse is.

831
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: Who we're going with?

832
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 2: And I mean that rap has his hand up, you know,

833
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 2: and then when that goes down, they're done.

834
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 5: They can't change anymore. So now he sees he rolls

835
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 5: over the bench.

836
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 4: Yep.

837
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 2: So many times during TV timeouts, the whole bench is

838
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: sitting down. They don't have anybody on the ice, and

839
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: the coaches do as good a job as they can

840
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: as hiding it. But I mean, last change. You get

841
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: your match up every time, and I got it with

842
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: the wild do to a lot of So it's important

843
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 2: if they have a third or fourth line shift and

844
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: and they're given their rewarding him. If the offensives on draw,

845
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: you'll see sometimes Caprice, I'll get a bonus shift on

846
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 2: that line.

847
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 5: Or Boldie and you get in.

848
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna see Hughes start almost every offensives on face off.

849
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: Call a good one tonight and push through the emotion

850
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 3: of missing Budsy on the radio and just let the

851
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: gifts God gave you come soaring through the microphone.

852
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 4: And have a good time. A man is two fifty mine,

853
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 4: it's two fifty.

854
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 5: No budday this morning, not tonight.

855
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 4: You'll be all right, see it, Budd, Thank.

856
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: You, Alex, staylock nice enough to join us at Trio

857
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 3: for a Box in the Box and wild morning skate

858
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: back after this.

859
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: Gull It Gully until tomorrow.

860
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: Yep, we can't wait until tomorrow because tomorrow is the

861
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: Friday Football.

862
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: Jack Greenway five to two radio to start.

863
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 3: Alex Lewis joins us for the middle portion ten o'clock,

864
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: and the analyst sich he'll he'll be with us for

865
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 3: a marathon at eleven o'clock. And I wonder if we'll

866
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: have any new or pertinent Minnesota Vikings related conversation given

867
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 3: everything percolating and bouncing around about Kyler Murray and the

868
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings, which I kind of shoved under the rug,

869
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: especially on a Box in the Box day. For just

870
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, Aaron Jones is back in the mix.

871
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 3: It's like Aaron Jones, okay with with Allen and Hargrave

872
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 3: and this guy and that guy and all the restructures.

873
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 3: You know, you hear Aaron Jones is going to be released,

874
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 3: but there was a contractual restructure, so Aaron Jones quite

875
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: likely we'll be on the Minnesota Vikings next year with

876
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason. Wonder how that plays into our favorite football

877
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: team drafting our new favorite college running back Emma Johnson

878
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 3: from Nebraska.

879
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 4: What do you think?

880
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I was talking about it earlier during during news.

881
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 6: I still think running back has to be a priority

882
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 6: in April's draft, and I love Aaron Jones.

883
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: I think the past protection composed and of it.

884
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 6: When we were looking at potential free agent names, it

885
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 6: sounds like there was some buzz and some some rumor

886
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 6: behind the idea that the Vikings made a play for

887
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 6: Travis Attn really and before he went to the Saints and.

888
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 4: Four and fifty interesting, two fifty.

889
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 5: Three something like that.

890
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 6: I mean, that's a big time deal and Vikings weren't

891
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 6: in that mix in the end, But to that end,

892
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 6: the pass protection that that an Aaron Jones can provide.

893
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 6: When Johnson the names out there, it makes sense you

894
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 6: saved three three and a half on the original contract price,

895
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 6: so you like that. But I'm totally in on the

896
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 6: idea that, Okay, love you Aaron Jones, but we must

897
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 6: make running back a big time priority in April.

898
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: What if Brazinski is going Baltimore Ravens on it, bring

899
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: back Aaron Jones, get everybody off the trail of Jeremiah

900
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 3: Love and they're like well, no way are they.

901
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 4: Going to trade up and do that? They what they did?

902
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 2: What?

903
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 4: Yeah?

904
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden he gets here and

905
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 3: we get back the draft pick, and everybody else is

906
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: screwed around.

907
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: The league and he's tricky.

908
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:03,640
