There got a lot of guys that that's Scheiffe, 17 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 4: Lee and Connor and Vallardi line is kind of the 18 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 4: engine of that team and really just trying to be 19 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 4: stickers against that line helps us out. So and just 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 4: we we got to play just a a fast paced 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 4: north game where we get a lot of pucks on hallibuck. 22 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 4: There's some rebounds that are to be had, and yeah, 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 4: and that's what's contributed the last two wins. I mean, 24 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 4: I think we've always played them hard, and it's always 25 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 4: been a physical matchup, and it's always been fun to 26 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 4: play the Jets. To me, that's a little bit of 27 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 4: a rivalry night and and uh, well. 28 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: It's fun now because you're winning. You're winning the games. 29 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. I went a long time with that 30 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 3: beating good last couple of years. 31 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: So what's crazy, isn't it? I mean, it's it happens 32 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: in a lot of sports. 33 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: Football obviously is once a week, you know, but basketball 34 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: and baseball and hockey are different. But like with the Jets, 35 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: it's that that's been one of several cool things about 36 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: this year is all right, beat the Golden Knights earlier 37 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: in the season's going and put some of those things 38 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: behind us, Stars, put some of that stuff behind us, 39 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: Winnipeg Jets. That those those uh, those are just strange 40 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: moments when you know, granted, teams are good, very good, 41 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: middling some years, and obviously personnel changes and stuff. But 42 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: like when teams go year after year after year beating 43 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: you three of four, two or three, stuff like that 44 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: I think gets frustrating, right, Oh yeah. 45 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: It does. 46 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 4: I mean it's when I first got here I remember 47 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 4: we had some good games against them, and uh, and 48 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 4: they had a really good team the one year we 49 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 4: play them in the playoffs, and it seemed like after 50 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 4: that and they they had our number, right, So they've 51 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 4: always had a good team. I mean, they've always played 52 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: a good structured game and had some decent coaching over 53 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 4: the years of Paul Maurice. And but yeah, it's good 54 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 4: now to be on the other side of it and 55 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: get our get our our our team going and and 56 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 4: feeling like the big dog in the fight. 57 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 1: Did did you enjoy or shall I say, how much 58 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: did you enjoy that two week road trip? 59 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: Hy get along? 60 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 4: It was it was good for sleep, it was uh, 61 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 4: it gets to a point where you get to Seattle 62 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 4: when it's gloomy. 63 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: Out and then you're like, oh man, get me home. 64 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 4: But uh, we were lucky, we were fortunate.

This is a tough one coming 177 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: up for you, ma'am. 178 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 4: It is it's uh, you're you got the oxygen on 179 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 4: the bench that you're gonna probably need a lot of 180 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 4: them bills if it weren't. 181 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 3: That's how we feel in Colorado some games. 182 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 4: So it's just uh yeah, that Broncos defense and you 183 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 4: know bo Nicks and I mean, I don't know if 184 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: you're excited about this game. 185 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 3: I'm excited. 186 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: I just think that it's it's cool Buffalo being a 187 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 4: really big underdog, and I think the fans and everyone 188 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: enjoyed that spot. So hey, hope for the hope for 189 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 4: the best, prepared for the worst. I think that's the 190 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: plan for Buffalo. But uh, this could be an absolute 191 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: drumming or it could. 192 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: Be uh you know. That's the thing. It's it's not like. 193 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 4: All these are two coast teams where right, you don't 194 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: know what's gonna I mean, football is crazy. 195 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: You know it could be it could be just a crazy. 196 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 4: First half and then the second half it is different. 197 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 4: That's what that's always gets me with that sport. It's 198 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 4: amazing how you know, you say, oh, with us, our 199 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 4: first period. 200 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: It's different than a second period. 201 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: But like it's it's crazy some of the changes that 202 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: happened in football where a second time can be lopsided, 203 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: like oh yeah. 204 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, but see, I mean it's you, you being an 205 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: NHL player and you know, hockey being your preferred sport 206 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: all your life. There's nothing like the NHL. Maybe it's 207 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: changed a little bit over the since the Kings won 208 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup from the eighth spot. Yeah you know, 209 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: but I mean still stuff like that can happen. Man, six, 210 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: sevens and eight's all of a sudden all the way 211 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: you know. 212 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: You you sender the story type five. 213 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: Well, like the forty nine ers, I mean the Shanahan's done. 214 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: You know, he loses brock Party for a lot, He's 215 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: down so many players. Yeah, but look what they're doing 216 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: I know, you know, but but that also might have 217 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: an expiration. That's kind of like the Kings version that 218 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: year of the NFL is a little more wide open 219 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: this year. 220 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: You know, yeah exactly. I know. 221 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: That's what's always fun about the about sports is that 222 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 4: that storyline. But uh, I mean San fran was what 223 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: six seed as well. Yeah, so it's just uh and 224 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: then you get teams that you know, they're like they're 225 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: a sixth seed and you're like, they're not that sick, 226 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: like they maybe a third or second, Like it's right, 227 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 4: And that's just the way it goes. And that's intimidating 228 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 4: for a team that might have that in their mental 229 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: you know, in their in the back of their mind, 230 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 4: thinking that this team is not what they are so 231 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: don't take them for granted. 232 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 3: Gets them a little shaky and who knows what's gonna happen. 233 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: But you if your Bills win at Denver and the 234 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: Patriots beat the Texans, you're not going to be able 235 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: to control yourself in the AFC champions. 236 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: It's a tough it's a tough mountain that the Bills 237 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 4: have right now, no pun intendant being in Colorado. But 238 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 4: I know what you mean to go from Denver then 239 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: maybe to walk into New England, which is another stut. 240 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: Of a team not variable. So I mean it's. 241 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 4: Uh, there's some wagons this year in the NFL, and 242 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: Buffalo is isn't the biggest one, but they got part 243 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 4: of the biggest quarterback in the league. 244 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you're the Josh Allen of the NHL. You're big, 245 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: you crave contact like he does. 246 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: Seeing skills are good. 247 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, if I could put up more offensive numbers like 248 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 4: you there, it would be laughing right now. 249 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: That's where I got to stock a little bit.

You you intimated 508 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: something three times on the television the other night that 509 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: sent me right to the interweb machine about Dougie Hamilton. 510 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: All right, now, I'm not going to claim I'm like 511 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: a Dougie Hamilton lifetime pen and I got a game 512 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: warn Sweater. 513 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: I know who he is. He's been good for many years. 514 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 2: You're talking about the healthy. 515 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: Scratch stuff they played the day before with the your 516 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: squad got the weird Islanders game after the two week 517 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: bit out of the way, and I know New Jersey 518 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: had beaten the wild like five or six in a 519 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: row or something like that. But nevertheless, like you were 520 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: talking about some behind the scenes stuff with the Devils, 521 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: Dougie Hamilton and some other stuff. You're on your game 522 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: the other night with the nuance, So I went and 523 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: read up on it. Couldn't find a ton on it. 524 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: But did that game surprise you at all with how 525 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: lopsided it ended up being? 526 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, it did. I think that. 527 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 7: The wild and I think tonight's game actually is similar sneaky. 528 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 8: You have a team that has struggled out of the 529 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 8: gates and they've not been able to put it together. 530 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 8: And with New Jersey, it's been one thing after the 531 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 8: other with them, where there's been negative headlines that have 532 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 8: kept a good team from being able to be their 533 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 8: best and play well and find themselves in playoff relevancy. 534 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 7: And the Dougie Hamilton was the latest one for him. 535 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 8: And I feel bad for teams in that situation because 536 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 8: you're a good team and coaches have no choice but 537 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 8: to play these cards sometimes to try to motivate to 538 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 8: get things going. 539 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 3: And Dougie Hamilton's the latest. 540 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 8: Guy, a good player to be scratched and you know 541 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 8: storylines and now that's a distraction. But Winnipeg here tonight 542 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 8: is another team that hasn't been good. They start the 543 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 8: year without their captain, Cole Profetti, has hurt Connor Hallibuck 544 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 8: is hurt. 545 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: They're rolling goaltender number two. 546 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 8: What's more important getting Hallibuck ready for the Olympics or 547 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 8: playing the regular season. So Winnipeg, who's won the President's 548 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 8: Trophy last year, is now second worst team in the 549 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 8: NHL right now. 550 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 7: That's only happened one other time before. 551 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 8: It was like ninety two ninety three with the Rangers, 552 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 8: where a team goes from first to worst in their division. 553 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 7: And Winnipeg is looking at doing that. But all of 554 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: a sudden, just like New Jersey's. 555 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 8: Not a bad team, they've just had a run of 556 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 8: bad luck in not being able to put it all together. 557 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 8: They've got all the talent, it's just an incomplete puzzle. 558 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 8: Winnipeg is the same to start the year, didn't have 559 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 8: their captain, like I said, a couple of other things. 560 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 8: But now they're starting to put it together. Had lost eleven, 561 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 8: but now they lost a row previous to the three 562 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 8: games playing. 563 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 3: Yes, damn, I know. So like they they've chased. 564 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 6: Six points over a fifteen game period. 565 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 3: Hots they've been chasing it. Heines always says this. 566 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 8: He goes when you go on a long winning streak 567 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 8: or losing streak, usually on the bookends of that streak, 568 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 8: you're either playing in the Jets case, you're playing good 569 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 8: hockey and probably didn't deserve. 570 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 7: To lose some of those games. And then in the 571 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 7: middle of it, yeah you should have lost those games. 572 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 8: And then on the back side of it, you're probably 573 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 8: playing better and maybe deserve better. 574 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 7: But you're not getting the result. And I think Winnipeg 575 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 7: falls into that camp. 576 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 8: So they've they've won three in a row, what they've 577 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 8: scored first in seventh straight, they've been playing better. Hellibuck 578 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 8: hasn't been great, but he's getting better in his return. 579 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 8: So yeah, I was surprised that the Wild didn't. I 580 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 8: think they overlooked. I think I think that's what they did. 581 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 8: They overlooked New Jersey. There was some fatigue and some 582 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 8: other reasons for it, but the whole is tonight they 583 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 8: don't do the same against Winnipeg Jets team. 584 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 3: That's it. 585 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: But what makes tonight's distractions are the ultimate equalizer, and 586 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: that could include you know why, well, whatever reason, Dougie 587 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: Hamilton's a healthy scratch, whatever behind the scenes stuff they're having, 588 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: but it can be injuries too. So like we get 589 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: here for box in the box Spatchik. 590 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: I've heard of him. I have no idea how he 591 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: plays or whatever. 592 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: I asked Russo Radio, like what's going on here, and 593 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: he's like, well, the skate begins in fourteen minutes. Let's 594 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: see if twenty five is out there, like Brodine, Okay, 595 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: twenty five wasn't out there, twenty five probably ain't gonna 596 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: play tonight. And then you know, when we get here, 597 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: there's Eric Sinek. There's fourteen zipping around the rink, you know, 598 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: trying to get himself ready to play tonight. 599 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 3: All right. 600 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: Then he's part of some of the line rushes during 601 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: the skate. Okay, cool, looks like he's going to play tonight. 602 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: But then they get the scratch guys after practice and 603 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Eric Sinek is scratched or not, but 604 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: he was with them like Kinnestrosa and Hunt and stuff 605 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: like that, and I'm like, wow, okay, I mean, there 606 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: are just a lot of things going on all of 607 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: a sudden out of nowhere. Winnipeg's won three in a 608 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: row when and Winnipeg doesn't want to get swept by 609 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: the Wild this year, so I think tonight I'm with you. 610 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: I think tonight's a strange one. 611 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, and with the with the guys not playing, I 612 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 8: think there's some concern, But I also think that that's 613 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 8: a that's a vote of confidence in. 614 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 7: The group, and it shows the strength of the wild 615 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 7: right now. 616 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 8: You know, and maybe you guys touched on this earlier, 617 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 8: but second third in the NHL, wherever they're at at 618 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 8: the moment, right now, you have the luxury of not 619 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 8: having the force in Eric Sinak, even if he is 620 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 8: ninety four percent right now. 621 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 7: These guys would play like playoff game Eric Snack is 622 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 7: playing right now. 623 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: There's zero doubt about it. Yeah, but they've played. 624 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 8: Well enough and banked enough points to not have to 625 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 8: force a guy back there and maybe re injure himself 626 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 8: or not get to one hundred percent. 627 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 7: A couple more days, they feel like maybe he'll be, 628 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 7: you know. 629 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: Top notch. 630 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 3: And this is entirely in the rear view mirror. Yep. 631 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: They've played well enough to have that luxury. 632 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 8: And if the same thing is happening with like a 633 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 8: Jonas brodein where and they said that this isn't an 634 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 8: incident based injury that was that was said this morning. 635 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 8: It's more of like something that's built up. It's nagging, 636 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 8: it's not going away. 637 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: So you missed some time about a month ago or 638 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: so in it. 639 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 8: And if they're related, it is now a time to 640 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 8: give him some time and those decisions obviously being made, 641 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 8: but it's a. 642 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 7: Luxury to be able to have that time to give 643 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 7: those guys. 644 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: And for us a couple of outside rubes just rooting 645 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: for the team to win. He's so important, you know, 646 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: And but we I slash we, you know, we need 647 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: to get rid of football mentality sometimes recognizing this is 648 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: not a once a week game, and you have more 649 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: than seventeen of them, so what you said really truly 650 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. 651 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 3: He is important, no, I mean no doubt about that. 652 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 8: But there are other guys like Jake Middleton was your 653 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 8: top four guy you acquire Quinn he was, he goes 654 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 8: down to your bottom pair. 655 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 7: So he's chomping at the bit to get more minutes. 656 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 8: And in some ways I'll be watching tonight's game just 657 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 8: to see the body language in moxie of a guy 658 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 8: like Jake Middleton with more opportunity, you know, I think 659 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 8: he still wants to prove and we'll get the chance 660 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 8: tonight to be like, yeah, I still I'm the top four. 661 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 8: I want these minutes, and Quintin, Hughes and Brock favor 662 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 8: eating up a lot and they deserve a lot of 663 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 8: these minutes. But there's plenty of depth within the Wilds 664 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 8: roster right now, especially on the back end, to be 665 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 8: able to eat up some of these minutes. 666 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: And I think the guys are excited. 667 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: To got you well to that end. 668 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 6: I was chatting with Gorgy about this kind of why 669 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 6: your opinion on it. I just I don't know why 670 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 6: I'm fascinated about this, But how I've seen it right 671 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 6: or wrong is I felt, you know, Hughes pick up, 672 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 6: that's a boost, but myriad injuries earlier in the year, 673 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 6: as you watch this thing kind of turn around in 674 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 6: combination with the goaltending, there was an urgency night by night. Yeah, 675 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 6: in Middleton playing Top four, you meant, you know, people 676 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 6: put in spots. Yes, maybe if all things are healthy, 677 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 6: all things are rolling, guys not in those spots. 678 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 2: Typically you felt that urgency. 679 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 6: You see all those points and all the wins, the shutouts, 680 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 6: and you're loving it. Maybe there was an element where 681 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 6: now it's like, oh, we got everybody back. 682 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just good. 683 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 6: We could roll the puck out and just handle business. 684 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 6: And maybe they're in a spot where and again, you're 685 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 6: getting points in eight of your last ten, so exactly 686 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 6: in the doldrums of the NHL. Here top three in 687 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 6: the NHL, as you mentioned. But maybe there's an element 688 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 6: of reacclaimation as part of that. 689 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 7: Totally, and I do think that you're absolutely right. 690 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 8: Sometimes, no matter what coaches say or anybody says they're 691 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 8: sports psychologists, you play paper games. You look at the 692 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 8: roster and you look at the records, and you say, 693 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 8: we are better. I think that that happened in the 694 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 8: New Jersey game. You know, like we are flat out better. 695 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 8: New Jersey's thirtieth and goals scoring. You know, we're right 696 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 8: near the top of the league. We're great defensively. They're 697 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 8: not like this game, we just show up and play 698 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 8: eighty percent of our game will be good. I think 699 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 8: that was a paper game. 700 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: And well, that's a shame if that's the case, and 701 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with these guys. The Devils 702 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: had beaten them like pretty much every game for the 703 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: last two or three four years. 704 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, And also, but the Devils were and this is 705 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 8: what I was saying during that broadcast, the Devils were 706 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 8: one of the best teams in the NHL through ten games, 707 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 8: and then they hit this kid, so they hope that 708 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 8: they can do it. You knows more, just to the 709 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 8: point that Nortle's making that I do think that the 710 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 8: Wild survived injuries early on in the year by buying 711 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 8: into structure more than talent at times, because they had 712 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 8: a lot of their talent out. There were times where 713 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 8: they had seven regulars out ge and they're winning games 714 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 8: and not just sgular games specifically. 715 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 6: Maybe it was Columbus and tough season for Columbus, but 716 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 6: they had five or six regulars out that game and 717 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 6: still found their way to like a four to two 718 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 6: victory or something like that. 719 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 8: And it was a commitment to structure and style of play. 720 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 8: And I do think you're absolutely right acquiring Quinn Hughes. 721 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: And I mentioned this too. Forgive me if it becomes redundant. 722 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 8: You acquire a tough guy in the NHL, and we've 723 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 8: heard everybody say the guys on the bench stand in 724 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 8: inch taller, they can run around and nobody's gonna challenge 725 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 8: him because they have the ace of spades on their bench. 726 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 8: The tough guy, and they play with a little bit 727 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 8: more sandpaper and a little bit more grit. 728 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 7: And everybody as a result is bigger and tougher. 729 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 8: When you acquire a guy like Quinn Hughes, I think 730 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 8: that everybody instantly feels a little bit more killed. The 731 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 8: puck is on their tape a little quicker, they have 732 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 8: a little bit more time, they can score their way 733 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,239 Speaker 8: out of some of these these situations that they might 734 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 8: find themselves in games. So I do think that after 735 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 8: acquiring Quinn Hughes, there's what I would call like a 736 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 8: sugar high where everybody was feeling like, hey, we're great, 737 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 8: this is real, let's go. And now they're entering a 738 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 8: phase where the sugar high is wearing off a little 739 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 8: bit and it's now we got to get back to structure. 740 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 8: And that's where it's intriguing with Brodein and Eric's and 741 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 8: eck out. Can you rebuy into the commitment to a 742 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 8: style of play which is grind, Let's win a game 743 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 8: by scoring three goals max and make sure that the 744 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 8: other team is smother? 745 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: Does that? Does that ever happen? 746 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 6: Where so Quinn Hughes, you mentioned within within the frame 747 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 6: of structure. Quinn Hughes, you could say, has a lot 748 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 6: of freedom, right, There's a lot of trust that's built up. 749 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 2: You know that he's the way with the puck on 750 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 2: his stick, He's going to bring it into the zone. 751 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 6: You're gonna trust that skill in the skating that he's 752 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 6: gonna do some things the average blue liner can't. Is 753 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 6: there a contagious aspect of that where maybe another blue 754 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 6: liner kind of gets out of body a little bit, 755 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 6: or yeah, maybe I can do that too like that? 756 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 2: Does you know ad adding the. 757 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 6: Talent is is important in terms of making uh, you know, 758 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 6: opportunities around, But does it inherently get guys going down 759 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 6: a road where. 760 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna try this as well. I'm gonna 761 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and add this aspect to my game. 762 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 8: I'll be on the preposter statement perhaps, but it's it's 763 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 8: not easy and Heines has never for the record, when 764 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 8: you acquire potentially the best defenseman in the NHL, very 765 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 8: few have the opportunity to coach the best defenseman in 766 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,959 Speaker 8: the NHL. Heines has never had that before. So how 767 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 8: he manages the skill level of a blue liner like 768 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 8: Quinn Hughes, where he can make the plays, but how 769 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 8: do you how do you go to the rest of 770 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 8: the group and say, he can make that play, but 771 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 8: you can't make that play. 772 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 7: And there's some nuances. 773 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 6: See David Hunt's like, well, I want to do that here, David. 774 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 8: There's some nuance to it, right, and and figuring out 775 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 8: the messaging and how to handle it. Hines is learning 776 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 8: to like how these players react to playing with the 777 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 8: guy like Quinn Hughes, because it's different. You can specifically 778 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 8: look at brock Favor and I'm not going to throw 779 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 8: him under the bus because the guy's unbelievable. But in 780 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 8: the New Jersey game he got beat on a couple 781 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 8: of those goals in a physical play. 782 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 3: You never see that from him. 783 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 8: And maybe it's just all of a sudden the game 784 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 8: is being thought offensively again, where we can score ourselves 785 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 8: out of this situation. Quinn Hughes is on the ice, 786 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 8: I can jump up here because he can get it 787 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 8: to me you know where. Oh well, but the one 788 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 8: time he doesn't, it's back the other way, and it's 789 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 8: still in our net because we play in the NHL 790 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 8: and everybody's good, right, So I think there is still 791 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 8: a learning curve with these guys on how that all 792 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 8: plays out. But I do think you're right that there 793 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 8: is an all real talent on the blue line and 794 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 8: it a high tide raises all ships. 795 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 3: But I do think that the tide is still up 796 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 3: and down, up and down. 797 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: If this team is healthy in all the right spots 798 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: into the postseason, coming out of the best division in 799 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: the NHL, acid tested for class goalie rotation, well you 800 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: know that'll define itself at the end of the seasons 801 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: to who's going to get the net most and why, 802 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: Like what kind of a run can this team go 803 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: on if the right guys are healthy at the right time, deep. 804 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 8: They can go deal And I think yeah in Brodein 805 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 8: out right now and Eric Sinak being held back a 806 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 8: little bit, I think, And the acquisition of Quinn Hughes 807 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 8: is I think an endorsement in the core of this team. 808 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 7: And Zee Bulliam was was probably built up as a 809 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 7: guy that. 810 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 3: Could potentially be a Quinn Hughes. 811 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 8: But you have Jared Spurgeon thirty seven, Marcus Flino thirty four, 812 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 8: you have Brodein and his younger thirties. 813 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: And you could go down the list. Zucarello, I think 814 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 3: thirty six, maybe he might. 815 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 2: Actually thirty eight Jarasenko. 816 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, these guys are in the thirties. It's the core 817 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: of your group. 818 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 8: It's the personality of your group and your leadership group. 819 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 8: So it was we don't have the time necessarily to 820 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 8: wait for Bullyam and these guys to be the impactful. 821 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: Pieces that they can be. Yes, let's let's go get 822 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 3: it because our. 823 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 8: Window isn't twenty thirty, it's twenty twenty six, twenty nine, 824 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 8: and so. 825 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 3: Do I think that they can go on a run. 826 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 8: Absolutely, And they're in the dog days of the season 827 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 8: right now, and it can be challenging to bring your 828 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 8: best in your most grind game to the rink every day. 829 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 7: They've proven they have that. They're battling back in a 830 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 7: lot of these games. 831 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 8: They're scoring uh shortly after goals, so emotionally they're still engaged, 832 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 8: they still want it. It's not going to be easy. 833 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 8: But these are all things that I think paid dividends 834 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 8: late in the year. When you prove to yourself you 835 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 8: can do it during a tough time, then you need 836 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 8: to be able to do it. 837 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 3: You have the belief. 838 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 8: So I think the group has the talent, the moxie, 839 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,959 Speaker 8: the leadership, the goaltending, the goal scoring, to be able 840 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 8: to make a run. 841 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: Absolutely do Ryan Carter at Ryan underscore Carter cheo joo. 842 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: I got that Filino face off tweet out at Pa 843 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: on the mic, Pa on the mic, And. 844 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if you noticed it or not.

Yeah, like I don't know you and 848 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Eliosh hadn't say exactly twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen. 849 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,359 Speaker 8: You name it was probably you played with Elish, right yeah, 850 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 8: similar between the chemistry between ali Ash myself, maybe Solani 851 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 8: and myself. 852 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, La Panta and stay locked exactly. 853 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 3: You got the days too, yeah, I yah, yeah, oh wow, 854 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 3: oh yeah. 855 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: Russian rocket right yeah, well yeah, I don't I think 856 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: it was a Russian rocket. 857 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 3: I think that.
