But the basis of this, 324 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 3: specifically with gibbson Montgomery and then you're looking at King 325 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: Henry and Lamar and you're looking down the road here. 326 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: I just want to I want to see what Flores 327 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 3: can do to adjust.

One of those things 332 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: it would be, I want to see how they adjust 333 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 3: to to really clamp down against the run with with 334 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: some time running backs on our schedule. I would also 335 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 3: I'd flip that. Then I would flip it to running 336 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: the ball more effectively. And there's game script and we 337 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 3: got tackle issues and health issues. 338 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 2: Glower totally get it. 339 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 3: Aaron Jones wasn't in the mix on IR for a stretch, 340 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: but I look at two games. I look at the 341 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 3: Bears game, in the Browns game Bengals game was too weird, 342 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 3: but that they ran for like a buck seventy in 343 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: that game. The commitment to it in close score line games, 344 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: and the commitment that Kevin O'Connell had specifically in the opener. 345 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 3: I want to get Jordan Mason in the mix. He 346 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: led the running in Carris and then you saw almost 347 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: just defiantly, Kevin O'Connell's like, yeah, I get it. You 348 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: got Malie Collins, you got Garrett Miles, Garrett, but I 349 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: don't care. We're going to run. We need to to 350 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 3: be effective and that commitment. I love seeing it in 351 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 3: those two particular games. I want to see that. And 352 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 3: then my last thing for you, Pa, and in this 353 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 3: if I'm writing my own book, I'm going to see this. 354 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: Starting in Detroit, I want to look and see JJ 355 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 3: McCarthy the signs of being a bit more decisive and aware. 356 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 3: Thank you, Quicker. Release the growth arc. That's what these 357 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 3: final ten games are really about. Want to win every game. 358 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 3: We want to bounce way back in a big way 359 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 3: in the division contention. We want to play games in 360 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 3: late January. We want to hoist to Lombardi. We want 361 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: to do all of those things. Really, I think in 362 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 3: the true real crux of what's in front of us 363 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: for the next ten games is let JJ grow, let 364 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 3: JJ throw find eighteen so we know what we have 365 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 3: from the kid QB. So that's really just signs of life, 366 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 3: signs of growth, signs of Evolution from mister McCarthy. 367 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: It would be really super special for nine to noon 368 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: tomorrow Wednesday at the six five to one Carpus Plus Studios. 369 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: Be really sweet if when you get a Minnesota Wild 370 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: victory tonight they host the Winnipeg Jets.

Anthony Edwards 410 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: is out two weeks with a hamstring.

Well, that's the thing. 413 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: What I was gathering though, is I think Jamal Murray 414 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: had one of those third quarters of the ages like 415 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: he just I think he exploded. 416 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: I think he had like forty five points or so. 417 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I saw it at one point I was 418 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 3: checking in and it was Yeah, he was in the 419 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: high thirties and I think he may have had twenty 420 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 3: plus points in the third quarter alone. A so the 421 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 3: defensive damn broke. Just kind of seeing that, it's an 422 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 3: interesting kind of what do the Wolves look like with 423 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards.

They the 510 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers have a tight end on their active 511 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: roster named John Fitzpatrick. Now he doesn't play as much 512 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: as Tucker Craft, who's the bomb, or Luke Muskgrave who's 513 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of an underachiever from where he was taken, 514 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: but he's still pretty good. But they got this John 515 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick six seven two sixty two. I see what you're 516 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: doing here, Matt Laflour. You're setting things up for December 517 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: for the jumbo packages with Fitzpatrick and the extra offensive lineman. 518 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: Why because the before chatting with Kevin O'Connell today at 519 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock and all things that that Nordo and I 520 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: have chatted about really for the last week two weeks 521 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: back to the Pittsburgh game, the jumbo package approach to 522 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: offense is becoming. It's it's spreading league wide where teams 523 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: are using an extra offensive lineman more than they ever have, 524 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: or beefeating tight ends or monster fullbacks like Scott Matlock. 525 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: That this is starting to emerge as more than a 526 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: change up with within team schemes. So it was like 527 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick or Sims. They opted to keep Fitzpatrick. I know 528 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: they like Sims, and I know the people here like Sims. 529 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: But Ben got cut because of this beefeeder named John 530 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick bite s by Sykes bite. 531 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 3: To that end, You've been talking about it for a 532 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 3: couple of days, whether it's Dan Skimmer Skipper upcoming, Dan 533 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 3: Skipper of the Lions going jumbo, or Fred Johnson against 534 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 3: the Eagles, Fred Johnson extro lineman for the Eagles. If 535 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: it is becoming in vogue with the head coach of 536 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 3: the Minnesota Vikings ever consider going jumbo when he gets 537 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: all the numbers back, And. 538 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: Who would it be? 539 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 5: Pa? 540 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: Would it be Joe Huber justin school, Michael Jurgens. Maybe 541 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 3: a beefeeding tight end. I don't have Ben Simms's stats 542 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 3: in front of me. I know your sex not befeeding 543 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: per se either. 544 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: As Sims either A Sims. 545 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 3: So we need Oliver, we need we need Oliver back, certainly, 546 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 3: But could you ever foresee the Vikings going jumbo more 547 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 3: often to follow suit? 548 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: I think it's been talked about with the trading deadline approach, 549 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: the trade deadline approaching, keep your eyes and ears on 550 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: the Tennessee. 551 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: Titans, Oh, Tennessee, Tennessee and specifically oli Udo. 552 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: Here comes oli Udo right back into the mixes the 553 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: extra offensive lineman fifth year from Elon, fifth year from Elon. 554 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what season he's in at this point, bites, bites. 555 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: But from an offensive lineman standpoint, here the last time 556 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: I recall the Vikings kind of quasi consistently using that 557 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: extra offensive lineman man, it was it was the It 558 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: might have been twenty twenty. When did they play at 559 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: Baltimore against Lamar twenty twenty one, twenty one or twenty two, okay, 560 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: around there was the day hit Man came a bit 561 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 1: day of the game, bying them had to Debutiam had 562 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: a pick and a sack on Lamar Jackson. He had 563 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: a pick and a sack on Lamar. Nice debut, my brother. 564 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: Did they go to ot that game? 565 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 2: Don't know. 566 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: But in that game, Blake Brandell was the extra offensive 567 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: lineman a bare amount of plays. So it's difficult to 568 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: think jumbo package extra offensive lineman here, with all due 569 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: respect and a face change may be required at the 570 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: end of this statement, it's very difficult to conceive that 571 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: when you have no idea which offensive linemen they're going 572 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: to play, how long they're going to play in just 573 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: the upcoming game. 574 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 3: Under the pretense that all the numbers were back at Brandelly. 575 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: It's a different combination conversation in that regard. Although maybe 576 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: we need Brandell, it's center. That's a tough thing. 577 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: Well, fair amount of the public thinks they should just 578 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: look the other way on Ryan Kelly's concussions and just 579 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: make him the extra offensive lineman and just bang into 580 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: beefeaters without a in the world. 581 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: That's just how it works. 582 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: I would prefer Ryan Kelly makes health decisions. Let's just 583 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 3: say paramount given the recent concussion woes that that the 584 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: Veteran Center has had said final. 585 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: Bike bite, bike bite, bike bite. It was announced yesterday. 586 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 3: Pa Carson wentz kind of learning more, you know, coming 587 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: out of the buy rumblings about a shoulder injury. What's 588 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 3: going on with that. He's still ready to rock. He's 589 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: going to play through it against the Eagles, and we. 590 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 2: Watched that game. 591 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: There was a vast regression, not you know, for a 592 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 3: guy that's never had necessarily pinpoint accuracy. Clearly something was 593 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 3: different in that Eagles game. It continued to find its 594 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 3: way into the Chargers game on a Thursday night. News 595 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 3: coming out yesterday that Carson's been put on IR and 596 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 3: we'll be having shoulder surgery torn labram. I think there 597 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 3: was a fractured shoulder socket potentially a dislocation as part 598 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 3: of all this initially as well non throwing shoulder as 599 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 3: it was. 600 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: He is gone into the open. 601 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 3: But it's kind of your thoughts on you know, surprising 602 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 3: is not really the way to put it, but how 603 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 3: they handled it and just kind of how he handled it, 604 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 3: and now his season is over as JJ McCarthy is 605 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 3: set to return to practice. 606 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: Well, it's not that my opinion really matters on a day. 607 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: The head coach of the Minnesoesota Vikings is going to 608 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: be with the radio show for twenty five minutes, Ben Geslin, 609 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: who covers the team for the Star Tribune, He'll be 610 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: here at ten o'clock, and I'll offer more than Brian Ralston. 611 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: He's on the horizon and we don't want to be 612 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: late for that, you know, I'll just I don't know 613 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: how much, like I think Carson may speak tomorrow. So again, 614 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: if Carson Wentz does a press conference tomorrow, it's going. 615 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 2: To be great hearing from him exactly. 616 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: What he was going through and what led to this 617 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: whole thing from a guy who, by the way, when 618 00:33:55,360 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: he tore his ACL at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, 619 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was completely straight with the 620 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: injury and like how much it hurt because he went 621 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: back in the game with a ripped up ACL and 622 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: lcl I believe did he throw a TD in a 623 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: game the Eagles were trying to secure the one seat. 624 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: They were playing for the one seat and he threw 625 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass in that game. So playing through adverse 626 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: pain related situations is in this guy's DNA and the 627 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: from what I understand, and then you know, maybe others 628 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: have reported on it his injury, what was more about 629 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: pain tolerance and really couldn't worsen if he played. But 630 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: that's just what you're hearing from me, hearing it from 631 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: other people. You'll hear from the head coach at eleven 632 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: today and we will get into that topic and Carson 633 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: Wentz tomorrow. So I think that's the best way to 634 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: land the plane on Vike's Bites with that individual topic. 635 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: The expectation is McCarthy will be the starting quarterback this 636 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: weekend at Ford Field. 637 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 2: Vike's Bites provided by thousand Ills Lifetime Grazed Grass. 638 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: Fed around the Corner Minnesota Wild with a twenty five 639 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: year celebration this evening.

So I spent a lot of time in 665 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 5: youth sports and uh, coaching and doing that those kinds 666 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 5: of things and a kind of it's snowballs, you know, 667 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 5: chasing your kids around the car, driving your kids around 668 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:06,240 Speaker 5: the country. 669 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 1: All right, So like you know, from two to three 670 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: three is decades ago when you started playing hockey and 671 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: you were coached all the way through your career Man 672 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Boston and Jacques Lamier, stuff like that. 673 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: When you coach, when you coach kids at no matter 674 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: the age, what well, what like, what's your approach because 675 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: twenty let's say, twenty twenty through twenty twenty five, twenty 676 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: fifteen through twenty twenty five a lot different than when 677 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: you started, you know what I mean? 678 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think the coaching now in youth 679 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 5: sports is way better obviously than when we. 680 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 2: We grew up. 681 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 5: You know, we have a lot of any a lot 682 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 5: of NHL guys around the whole country are involved in 683 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 5: youth youth sports into helping kids. And you know, your 684 00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 5: approach is being professional and you know, tea them the 685 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 5: game and trying to teach them the right way to 686 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 5: play the game and and continue to help them with 687 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 5: their skill development and uh, you know and obviously, we 688 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,439 Speaker 5: follow USA Hockey model as much as we can, and 689 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 5: uh so a lot has changed. There's a lot more 690 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 5: out there for coaches and development. So I think it's 691 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 5: for the better for sure. 692 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: And and you know, I'm not sure he still does it. 693 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: My my my daughter graduated from Holy Family High School 694 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: in Victoria, Minnesota, and you know, she's a couple of 695 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: years removed from that. But when I used to go 696 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: to the UH go to the girls hockey games, I 697 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: think Stefan Vayu was was an assistant coach for you know, 698 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,959 Speaker 1: either the girls team or the girls and boys team. 699 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: So that you know that that's something that he continues 700 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: to do now. 701 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 2: Off what you just said. 702 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: And you know, with with Pierre Mark Bouchard joining yesterday, 703 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: it you know, when I was preparing for it, knowing 704 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: you were coming up today, Man, you guys had a 705 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: great thing. You and Pierre Marc Bouchard had a great thing. 706 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: As I recall, he was kind of your handy, dandy 707 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: helper with some of these goals, right he was. 708 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 5: He was a big part of it. He had tremendous vision. 709 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 5: He was one of the best passes that I've played. 710 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 5: I played with over my seventeen years. So he played 711 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 5: a big role in my success in Minnesota and arguably 712 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 5: my best years of my career. So he was an 713 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 5: excellent player. You know, you look at it and you 714 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 5: look at you know, their babies at the time. You know, 715 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 5: Brent Burns and Miko Koivu and excellent obviously had excellent careers, 716 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 5: but you know, at the time, we were just starting 717 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 5: out and they had all those good draft picks. But 718 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 5: you know, you see how difficult it can be to 719 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 5: get everybody at the right aid age in order to 720 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 5: compete for the Stanley Cups. So obviously Miko and those 721 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 5: guys were young, obviously had great careers, and it's very 722 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 5: interesting to look back and and you just noticed different 723 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 5: things about the game. 724 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: The the Brian Ralston slap shot was that of immortality. 725 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: People used to ask him a lot of questions about 726 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 1: it when he played here. I probably should know this answer, 727 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: but I don't, so I'm just going to save it 728 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: for Brian with that with that big time slap shot. Man, 729 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: when when did you know legitimately you could unfurrow bombs 730 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: because that's what they were. 731 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 5: Well, you know, early on when I played in the 732 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 5: American League with Robbie Vittorik and the Albanie River Rats. 733 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 5: Early on, I was playing on the point on the 734 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 5: power play. So it's something that uh, you know, I 735 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 5: always had a pretty good shot. I think it's inherent, 736 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 5: but you know, I was at an early age I 737 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 5: was giving those opportunities on the power play to play 738 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 5: defense and and I really did it my whole career. 739 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 5: So and in playing for Jacques Lamaire early on in 740 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 5: my career definitely helped me, h my defensive game and 741 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 5: being responsible defensively because you come out of school and 742 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 5: you're a big time offensive guy and that's not necessarily 743 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 5: you know what it's going to be in the National League. 744 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 5: So having played for him was was huge for the 745 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 5: longevity of my career. 746 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: And Brian Ralston is our guest seventeen years in the 747 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: NHL three with the Minnesota Wild Wild in Winnipeg this 748 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: evening Wild dot Com for a special bobblehead and anniversary 749 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: celebration tickets Wild dot Com, Gabby Bobblehead autograph, stuff like 750 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: that available tonight Wild dot Com.
