Speaker 1: Good morning Pa.

35
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: It's sometimes controversial, sometimes smug, depending on the performance of

36
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: the team, and right now we're somewhere in between. How

37
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: excited are you right now? I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm not

38
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: you know, jumping for joy. I'm happy that we got

39
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: the matchup we wanted. No, they still may lose. I

40
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: don't think it's a surefire thing, but out of all

41
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: the teams they could have possibly played, and in the

42
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: last week it was basically Eagles or Bears. Give me

43
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: going to Chicago over almost anybody else. I think it's

44
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: the best matchup for us. Will you watch the game

45
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: with your girlfriend? I met Sunday in the vox box.

46
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I always loved that.

47
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: One, I hope. So you were very lovely. I was lovely.

48
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: Everyone was lovely to her. We weren't lovely, we were kind.

49
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: You're a family member, your girlfriend. It was nice to

50
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: bring her up and we got to hang out in

51
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: the area and then see the vox box and everything.

52
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: And she's diehard purple and she'll she'll never change. So

53
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: I just have to live with that, which is okay,

54
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: not at the end of the world. You know, one

55
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: thing into that border Battle one three one, which with

56
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: the approach taken by your team in advance to the

57
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: postseason with some Clayton tune terrorism. They liked him so

58
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: much they cut him forty eight hours later and elevated

59
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter. You know who knew Baron Surrell, the rookie

60
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: defensive lineman, got a little pop to him. So there

61
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: were things that were revealed and unveiled during that game

62
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: from a Packer standpoint that for your fan base probably

63
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: made it a little bit more than just let's get

64
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: through this and let's just get to the postseason. I

65
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: A'm saying a lot, but there were some players who

66
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: jumped up and played okay, who basically never get a

67
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: chance to play.

68
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: So it was an odd situation. Here's what I was

69
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: thinking of morning of the game. Can because maybe more

70
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: so at US Bank Stadium than lambeau Field, but it

71
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 3: happens both places. The season ticket holders, they'll get their lot,

72
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: all right, and nobody encourages selling your season tickets.

73
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, there are some people who will find marquee

74
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: matchups on the schedule and they'll be like, all right, well,

75
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: we got these games in the preseason, we got these

76
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: eight or nine home games. We paid this amount of

77
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: money for our two, three or four or seats, and

78
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: it's the proverbial pretty penny. Well, when the schedule comes

79
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: out and the Minnesota Vikings are off a fourteen win

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: season playoff bouncing Green Bay good basically every single year,

81
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: maybe not great, but certainly not middling. But it's a

82
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: border battle and a team that absolutely should be vying

83
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: for the playoffs at the end of the year am

84
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: end to that?

85
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: Right?

86
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: Yes? Can you?

87
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know how people would handle

88
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 3: this if, like you know, in September or October US

89
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: Bank Stadium. All right, well it's right around New Year's

90
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: it's around the holidays, we might not be around. We

91
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: got these four seats and everything. Vikings Packers end of

92
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 3: the season may be the game to settle the division.

93
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: Maybe there will be a one seed at stake between

94
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: those two teams. So therefore, say you paid a grand

95
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: total of eight hundred dollars for those four seats, well

96
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: you might be able to sell those suckers for twelve

97
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: hundred and sixteen, like to offset some of the costs,

98
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So say, I mean, there

99
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: had to be a bunch of people who did that,

100
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: sold the seats, marked them up, stuff like that, which

101
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: we don't encourage, but nevertheless, it does happen. And then

102
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: all of a sudden we get up to the border

103
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: battle one three one, and we got Clayton Tune terrorism

104
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: and I paid I paid.

105
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: Twice the amount I'm supposed to pay for these seats

106
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: because it's a border battle. I mean, you know that

107
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: had to happen, right, they had to, and that was

108
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: a game that you circle on and say, this is it.

109
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: This is a huge and I've been to border battles.

110
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: I haven't missed a border battle sans covid, which no

111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: one was at.

112
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: I haven't missed one yet.

113
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: And that was the most you mean, both during the year,

114
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: like here and there, no just here, I was gonna say, damn.

115
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: No, no, I'd love to do that, but I haven't

116
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: missed a Green Bay game here sans covid, and that

117
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: was it was just I've been to environments there where

118
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: it felt like you were going into a hornet's nest,

119
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: and every single play and everybody green and gold, purple

120
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: and gold. Everybody knew what the game was. And it

121
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: actually was nice to turn into more of a C. J.

122
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: Hammond Harrison Smith moment because there was nothing else going

123
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: on in that game. We're talking and godspeed to you

124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: for all the names, so you had to learn.

125
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: Well and I'm glad you were there for those touching

126
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: moments because that was finality most likely for those two.

127
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: The Christmas Day game, I mean, it had a euphoric,

128
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: loving feel to it, you know, for a non playoff

129
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: team known as the Minnesota Vikings with the way the

130
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: defense played and Harrison Smith with all the kids fanning

131
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: him and stuff like that. Yeah, I mean you caught

132
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: some very good moments. But nevertheless, with this podcast Packer Review,

133
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: which is now Packer Preview. From what I understand, you

00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't go the other way though, Like, I don't

158
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 2: think I can rip purple and get away with it

159
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: and she'll she'll get upset, right, but about that, yeah,

160
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 2: but she doesn't. I don't know if that's sarcasm. We're

161
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: not with me, you are, but she's very good about that.

162
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: There she is not. She'll she'll probably she won't wear

163
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: any green and gold, but she'll probably be pushing for me.

164
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: And no one likes the Bears, so she's not cheering

165
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: for them.

166
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: This is Brett Blakemore, a producer of nine to Noon

167
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: Today co host of the Packer Preview podcast tomorrow via

168
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: the iHeart Audio app with David Sinneken, and it's great

169
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: that he was able to to etch out some time

170
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: during his busy schedule to join nine to noon Plus

171
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: you got the cracken tonight, and that's a that's a

172
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: late one, big game. When you cast your gaze the

173
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: way of Soldier Field Saturday night, what are some quick

174
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: twitch things that come to mind you know will be

175
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 3: included in the controversial pod that drops tomorrow.

176
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think first and foremost it's the defense being

177
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: able to stop the run. They were able to do

178
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: it a couple of weeks. Basically every time they've played them,

179
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: it's been more or less okay. But then every time

180
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: you think about the run defense in Green Bay, you think,

181
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: I still see Derrick Henry running through the defense all

182
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: over lambeau Field, anywhere he wanted in the state of

183
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Wisconsin practically. So if they're going to be even competitive

184
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: in this game, they've got to be able to at

185
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: least contain the Chicago run game, which is very good.

186
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: And then you've got to hang in for a Caleb

187
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: Williams mistake and you know he's not throwing it around

188
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: willy nilly, he's not turnover prone, but it's possible and

189
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: it does happen from time to time. So it starts

190
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: with the run game, and then hopefully the offense can

191
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: can work a little bit better and Jordan Love can

192
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: stay on the field, who would.

193
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: You rather have and why, Caleb Williams or Jordan Love.

194
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: This is going to shock you. Actually, I'm gonna get

195
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: to murmur. I'd rather have Jordan Love a double murmur

196
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: on the fan.

197
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: If you look at any I mean, I understand where

198
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: the Bear's finished and where Green Bay finished. But if

199
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: you just look at any advanced analytic and say what

200
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: you want. But like total QPR, there's weird ones like

201
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: CPOE completion percentage above expected, which I didn't even know

202
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: was a thing until today. Bad throw percentage go down

203
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: the list. Love is top five in every single one.

204
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: If like just total QPR, I think everyone likes QBR

205
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: at least total QBR. Jordan Love is third. Okay, So

206
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: looking at William's seventeen, So are you really into football

207
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: analytics only when it benefits my narrative?

208
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: That sounds like I'm nine to noon andle's Pro Football

209
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: focus on Mondays when they look at stuff off.

210
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: TV copies on Friday on Sunday nights, and then they

211
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: reconfigure things when they get the All twenty two on

212
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: Monday and we.

213
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: Just kind of forget about it. Yeah, I understand that.

214
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: So I like Love a lot.

215
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: Do you enjoy having Matt Lafleur as the head coach

216
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: of your favorite team.

217
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: So I do. I am lafloor In. I want him

218
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to stay.

219
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: I think the arguments for him leaving are not as

220
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: crazy as the argument is that we've been a seven

221
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: seed and squeaked in the playoffs three years. We are

222
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: now the last team to win the division the least recent.

223
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: The Bears, Lions, and Vikings have all won the division

224
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: more recently.

225
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: Than we have.

226
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: When you're not seeing any progress lately, it's we squeak

227
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. We might win a game, and then

228
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: you're out and you want to see some progression. That's

229
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: the argument against him. I would counter that with, well,

230
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: you've got into the playoffs and we've got winning football

231
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: in He's a great play caller for the most part.

232
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: Does he do things that annoys the hell out of me? Yes,

233
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: inside zones on third and ones and fourth and ones

234
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: that everybody knows and the Eagles are calling out that

235
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: it's coming.

236
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: They still do it anyways.

237
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's But at the end of the day,

238
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: you don't want to throw out ninety percent of what

239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: he does, which is great for the ten percent that

240
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: you're not getting because you might not get that ninety

241
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: percent with the next guy. So overall, I like Lafleor.

242
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's crazy to criticize him either.

243
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: With Lafleur, one thing that changed this year that not

244
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: in my estimation, it legitimately had been a problem at

245
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: least the last couple of years is his work with challenges.

246
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: Like two years ago he had seven challenges and he

247
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: only won one. He had one year where like he

248
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: had eleven challenges, not only won two or three. But

249
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: like this year, into the Vikings game, I think he

250
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: was nine challenges, six wins, so that I didn't realize

251
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: the challenges had been such a problem for all Maddie

252
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: Lafloor and it wasn't they're in the border battle too,

253
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: because that was a dumb one as well. Lose and

254
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: this could be the last game for Myriad. A Green

255
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Bay unrestricted free agent to be the likes of kway

256
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: Walker Kingsley in Igbari comes to mind. How does podcast

257
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: co host Double B feel about all that? Because that

258
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: list of unrestricted free agents for the Green Bay Packers,

259
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: it's a voluminous list.

260
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: Holy Colly. Sean Ryan's on there. There are a bunch

261
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 3: of familiar names on there.

262
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: Man.

263
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the old line is going to be because Walker

264
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: is gone, and it's going to probably be Jordan Morgan

265
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: as your left tackle next year.

266
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: Center.

267
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine with Sean Ryan

268
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: on this list. Milik willis definitely gone. He's made himself

269
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: millions and millions of dollars with his few starts. The

270
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: one that I really want to keep, Kuay Walker and Kingsley,

271
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: the two that you mentioned.

272
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: I think that. I mean, I think Rashaun Garry is

273
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: gone as well.

274
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: He is and he's not even a free agent. No,

275
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: but he'd be cut. Yes, he is not worth a

276
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: fraction of the money he's made. Yesterday, the host of

277
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: your controversial pod Super Special, Sinny, I mean he I

278
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: couldn't believe when he was like, yeah, and Nelton Jenkins

279
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: he can leave.

280
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Too, you can just are you kidding me? Wow?

281
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: I mean, my man sacrificed for the better mine of

282
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: the team, saying like, because he's one of the better

283
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: guards in the NFL, so they move him to center

284
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: because they needed to move him to center. Yeah, I

285
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: thought he was doing Okay, I guess I didn't follow

286
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: it that closely. But Elton Jenkins, Holy cow, I mean,

287
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: would you be a fan of him being cut? I mean,

288
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: I kind of trust them to do what's right with him.

289
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't.

290
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: I didn't watch the All twenty two on him, but

291
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: that's he's been Sinnicon's been strong on that all season long,

292
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: and this is it for him. And it feels like

293
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: every year we're kind of just reshuffling the offensive line

294
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: and somehow it works out there a middle, you know,

295
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: top ten but not top five, oh line and it's okay, right,

296
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: but yeah, I as far as and then Bow Melton

297
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: or not Bow Melton. Romeo Dobbs is the guy, the

298
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: other one, the UFA. I think he's gone as well, right,

299
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: I think you gotta. I don't were the boy who

300
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: cried golden on the pod where every week was a

301
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: here's where the golden breakout game and it never comes,

302
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: And it.

303
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: Didn't come in Border Battle one thirty one. I mean, now, granted,

304
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: you know, the Vikings played a majority of not all

305
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 3: of their ones, and they're trying to finish the season

306
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: winning five consecutive flores.

307
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Defense finished the season.

308
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: As one of the most underrated stories in the national

309
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: Football League. I mean, if you look at some of

310
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: the analytics and some of the things that were done

311
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: against Jordan Love, Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold so on, and

312
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: so Jared Goff so on and so on, it's unbelievable.

313
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Man.

314
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: But it's nine and eight terrorism. It's nine and eight

315
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: Radio's nine and eight terrorism. Ain't nobody talking about that

316
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: with the playoffs on the horizon up. So Golden was

317
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: going against some tough customers that there just was nothing.

318
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: I mean, like he he on a day like that. Okay,

319
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: so they're going to mix in Jaden Reid for a series,

320
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: you know, let him break a sweat and that's going

321
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: to be it. K nine guy played for a series,

322
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: so I see what he was doing there. McDuffie played

323
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: a few series just just to keep them in the

324
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: flow up to the postseason. But Golden, I thought, would

325
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: be the a topic in the game. And like if

326
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: any thing, it's clear, of course you want to win,

327
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: but if you don't win, tears are not going to

328
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: drop eyes. So I thought maybe they put Clayton Tune

329
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: on a couple of five step drops and just throw

330
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: fades even into double coverage, just to see if the

331
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: rookie from Texas.

332
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: Can go up and get it, Yeah, why not? Well

333
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: they didn't do it at all.

334
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: No, And the thing with Golden is we kept saying, well,

335
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 2: Jordan Love may just go to where you know, there's

336
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: not a one like a Jefferson, so we'll just go

337
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: to who's open, what the defense has given us. Well,

338
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: then when Willis came in for the injury, Golden still

339
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: wasn't getting any looks. Then tune Golden wasn't getting any looks.

340
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: So suddenly it's a common denominator of why why is

341
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: bo Melton doing iron man football? Which is fine and

342
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: he's made big plays for us. Yeah, but I'd rather

343
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: take my chance with the first round pick. Is he

344
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: not understanding the playbook? Can he not block?

345
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 4: Like?

346
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: That's the type of questions that we're asking.

347
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first one has to be the answer has

348
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: to be he's not getting the plays at this stage

349
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: of the season that they feel he should be completely getting.

350
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: Then you get to route running, depth of route like

351
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 3: with feel In and digs, DeVante Adams with Green Bay

352
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 3: or with really the Raiders or the rams full speed

353
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: top of the route, you have no idea which way

354
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: they're going, but they do. They do everything ten of

355
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: ten with the speed, and those are some things that

356
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: play into those guys being high enders with Golden. I

357
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: mean it has to be something like that. Don't you

358
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: think you.

359
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: Would think because it's just happening to you don't go

360
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: a whole season with getting the looks and targets that

361
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: he gets and not have something underline there. I do

362
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: think he has the physical talent to be very very good.

363
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: He's fast as bleak. Oh, he's so good. And the

364
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: demand demands separation numbers. I saw it once on a tweet,

365
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: so it must be true are very good for him.

366
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: So I like his future, but we got to start

367
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: using them eventually, all right.

368
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: Lastly, what makes you nervous about this one?

369
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 2: Lavelle Neil tweeting me and synecon after the game that

370
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: we lose and Ben Johnson is vindicated that he beats

371
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: Matt Lafleur twice a year and having to hear Bears

372
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: fans say that they won the division and beat you

373
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: twice and knocked you out of the playoffs.

374
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Oh, come on. That keeps me up at night.

375
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: But you can control that, I mean, you can just

376
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: not look at the social media machines.

377
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: Yes, so you have control of that. You do not

378
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: have control of the inside zone runs with DeAndre Swift.

379
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: The emergence of Colston Loveland, which is something on which

380
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: Packer fans should focus because he's becoming a high ender

381
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: right before our eyes and or ears. How Dennis Allen

382
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: is squeezing everything out of this Bears defense. That's only

383
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: going to get better over the years with drafting and

384
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 3: free agency. But I mean it's talent poor in certain

385
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: spots in their pass rush and great, but he's getting

386
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: terrific run out of them. I mean, I think about

387
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: those more than vombit guy from Fridley calling you a

388
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: bleephole for liking the Green and Gold.

389
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: You know, well, that's They're both equally valid. But one

390
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: of them I can control. In one of them, I can't.

391
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: Thinking of Loveland, this this division Loveland, Tucker Craft, t

392
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: J Hockinson, Sam Laporta, Yeah, nice, I would. I would

393
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: take Tucker over all of them. Probably. Look, Laporta's right

394
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: there with him. Yeah, I'm a Tucker Craft guy.

395
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,440

440
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: that before the postseason.

441
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: Okay.

442
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: Got to make sure. Got to make sure Dane's happy

443
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 3: within the covenant. All right, let's start here. What do

444
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 3: you think about NBA officiating given the volume of games

445
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: you watch?

446
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 4: Well, Paul, this isn't your Chris Finch segment.

447
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean, but Fench, he has to pull

448
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 3: back so he doesn't get stuck another thirty five dimes.

449
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 4: That's true. That's true.

450
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 6: No, I think I'm with I think Finch and some

451
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 6: of the general frustration across the league with their coaches

452
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 6: about the officials, the new ones entering the league maybe

453
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 6: not being up to snuff, and so kind of the

454
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 6: overall quality of officiating being down across the league and

455
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 6: the confusion I do kind of go the other way

456
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 6: to where I might just I don't think this is

457
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 6: a job that can be.

458
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: Perfect.

459
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 6: You know, it's an unrealistic standard that they're held to sometimes.

460
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 4: Honestly, man.

461
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 6: My biggest take though with the Wolves, specific to the reps,

462
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 6: is I think it'd be a good thing to, you know,

463
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 6: chill out a bit with and I know finches thing

464
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 6: worked great against Oklahoma City. But what I'm thinking about is,

465
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 6: you know, playoff series or something like that, and how

466
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 6: maybe getting caught up with the officials could derail the

467
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 6: team for a game or two, you know, in a.

468
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 4: Playoff series when you don't have the you don't have

469
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 4: the time for that.

470
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 6: I think I think finish especially Man, I think he's

471
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 6: like which I.

472
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 4: Think he has that the Oklahoma City thing went off.

473
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 6: He's cooled down a little bit, but I think it'd

474
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 6: be a good thing for him and for the team

475
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 6: to Yeah, I don't know, just play a little less

476
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 6: about the officials.

477
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: Have you had since that nuclear moment? Ben Chad six

478
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 3: minutes into that Oklahoma City game? Do you feel it

479
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: help the team with calls in subsequent games?

480
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's part probably right, Like it seems like

481
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 6: it or they haven't at least been as overtly frustrated

482
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 6: with it, which would signal that maybe they feel like

483
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 6: they're getting they're getting some more calls.

484
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think I think officiating it's just

485
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 5: it's random. It's it's it's so random, and sometimes.

486
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 6: You get bad beats a lot in one week, and

487
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 6: sometimes it goes the other way.

488
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 5: I don't know.

489
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 6: I think there's an officiating problem, and I think that

490
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 6: some Wolves have a problem with officiating.

491
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: So you can you could point. Definitely in both ways.

492
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: But what what you go to certainly all the home

493
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 3: games in a fair amount of the road games, and

494
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's going to be a time where you

495
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 3: go to all the road games too, the closer they

496
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: get to the postseason. So you see and or hear

497
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: what I'm about to say a lot. Now, what do

498
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 3: you think of this?

499
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: I was watching a part of the Charlotte Hornets game

500
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: last night and there was a challenge, and when these

501
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: refs are getting on the mic, they're acting like they're auditioning,

502
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: some of them for the silver screen. I mean, it's

503
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: like they're thinking out what they're going to say, how

504
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: they're going to drop lines, how they're going to use

505
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: their voices with the crescendo and let it breathe a

506
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: little bit.

507
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: Then come in here and talk about the quad. You

508
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 3: know what I mean, They're like acting on the microphones. Man,

509
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 3: what do you think about that?

510
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 4: I just had a flashback to that.

511
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 6: It was the football game where the fish offend said

512
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: it was a touchdown, but it doesn't.

513
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: You know, it's like almost setting up dramatic.

514
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 4: Effect in that sort of way.

515
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 6: Honestly, when I'm at games, I tune out the entire

516
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 6: review process, and you know, look at my computer much

517
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 6: like I.

518
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: Do T shirt tosses.

519
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 5: It's just so much time, man, there's so much time

520
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 5: dedicated to these reviews at games.

521
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I'd probably spend fifty hours a year just

522
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 6: sitting there with the green light flashing. I'm just sick

523
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 6: of the whole officiating thing. If I'm being honest, it's.

524
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 5: All, yeah, it's just a it's a problem.

525
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 6: In the in the league, and I think it's just

526
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 6: detracting from the product right the across the league, the

527
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 6: NBA basketball product, when so much of it is about reviews,

528
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 6: about officials, about technicals, all this stuff.

529
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 5: It's like, let's just do basketball for a little while.

530
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 3: Dane Moore at Danemore NBA following via x. If you

531
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: are so inclined, like like a nine to noon does

532
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: learn more about the Dane Moore NBA podcast, which is frequent.

533
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: They do the podcast very frequently. If you're into the

534
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: NBA and.

535
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: The timber Wolves and said squad is on a nice

536
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 3: little run of killing Eastern Conference teams, Dane, what are

537
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: you seeing that's different from losses to say Atlanta and

538
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: or Brooklyn?

539
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 4: I think they're on the best stretch of the season.

540
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 7: Man.

541
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 6: I think these are the three these three games in

542
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 6: the way that it looks and the sort of technical

543
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 6: approach they're taking, which I think starts at the.

544
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: Top with ants. I've been very impressed by these three games.

545
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 6: And you can detract from it and say it was

546
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 6: against you know, Miami and Washington and Miami again, but

547
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 6: just watching this team all season and having seen their

548
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 6: sort of volatility of focus and maturity, just nice to

549
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: night not really knowing what you're gonna get, these three

550
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 6: games have been workman like, and I think that's I

551
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 6: think the lead should be put on notice a little bit.

552
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: The Wolves historically turn the corner in January. Since Finch

553
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 6: has been here, they've they've been a much better team

554
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 6: the final three and a half months of the season

555
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 6: than they are October, November December every year.

556
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: And we have a strong indication.

557
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 6: In these first three games that that's happening again. And

558
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 6: I think this team needed that needs a step up

559
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 6: to get into that contender status where they where they

560
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 6: believe they belong.

561
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: But they should look like.

562
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 6: It right these last three games, they I don't know,

563
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 6: I think they've been a special team.

564
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: Well, when you beat Bolster or twice in a week,

565
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: that's eye opening to me. You know, whether whether Tyler

566
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: hero plays or he doesn't play. I mean, that's one

567
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: of the best coaches in the history of the NBA,

568
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: as you know. And and if you're going to play

569
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: a bad wiz team that doesn't care about it over

570
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 3: the weekend, put one forty one on him, so that

571
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: that was very professional. Has has Gobert ever played better?

572
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: And and what are you seeing there?

573
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 6: It's definitely, definitely, definitely the best offense that he's ever played.

574
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 6: Now that that's inarguable just the development of offensive skills.

575
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 7: Which we all know was a little low bar.

576
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 6: Has has stepped up and are seeing him be able

577
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 6: to impact offense in a diversity of ways.

578
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 5: Now we're seeing teams.

579
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 4: Not be able to I mean, how many PA, how

580
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: many times?

581
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 6: Is that exactly what we're talking about? When I would

582
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 6: come and talk to you in the playoffs during a

583
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 6: series would be like, all right, the Lakers aren't guarding Gobert,

584
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 6: so he's not playing in the fourth coat, or all right,

585
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 6: the Sons aren't guarding Gobert, so you're seeing a rudy

586
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 6: Gobert now.

587
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 5: That can punish those things.

588
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: In the playoffs, he is.

589
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 5: Ignored, so a team can triple team Anthony Edwards or just.

590
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: Load up on him in that sort of way.

591
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 6: I think it's the biggest development of the entire season

592
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: for the tim Rowls, as good as Anton's playing, is

593
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 6: that Rudy Gobert looks like an offensive player that should

594
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 6: have no problems staying on the floor in the playoffs.

595
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 4: It's always been a misnomer.

596
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 6: Going back to that Terence Man game when Rudy was

597
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 6: on the Jazz and Man hit eight threes or whatever,

598
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 6: Rudy was guarding him. That defense was the reason that

599
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 6: Rudy couldn't play in the playoffs.

600
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 7: That was never true. The truth was teams going small.

601
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 6: Against Rudy go Beher teams and Rudy not being able

602
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 6: to punish those small teams on the.

603
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 7: Offensive the four.

604
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 5: This version of Rude Gooberry looks like he can.

605
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 6: And is punishing teams offensively. So it's I think it's

606
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 6: I think it's a really big deal. And that's the

607
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 6: time you even mentioned in anything about the defense, and

608
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 6: I think he's maybe been the best defensive player.

609
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 4: In the year.

610
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 7: The season as well.

611
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's bolster that that part of your Twitter feed

612
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: and I saw it the day before. But what Eric's

613
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: bolster had to say about Rudy Gobert after the uh

614
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 3: the heat lost at Target Center that I mean that

615
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: that rings truly. I mean that was really really a

616
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: fu sur praise there from from an og day Moore

617
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: at day more NBA v X. Are you sensing any

618
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: trades less than a month in front of the deadline?

619
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: And I mean the low hanging fruit here is the

620
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: biggest name, Trey Young.

621
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 7: Uh.

622
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: Now, personally speaking, I like him. I don't like the contract,

623
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: the injuries. I'm you know, I wouldn't be interested in him.

624
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: Doesn't make me right. What do you think because Trey

625
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: Young I do believe will be traded. What do you

626
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: think of that? And do you sense any trade?

627
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 6: Ye?

628
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: Well he was traded last night.

629
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: Oh I got to the Wizards.

630
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 7: That happened yep, that's right, that happened last night.

631
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, for McCollum and Kisburgh. Right, yeah, yeah, which thank you.

632
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 6: You need to look at that from a wolf's perspective,

633
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 6: and well they probably could have They probably could have

634
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 6: got Tree Young for that's not a huge haul that

635
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 6: Atlanta brought back per Tray, which signals that man, it

636
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 6: was just trying to get off of Tray's contract and

637
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: the player option he has for next season. I mean,

638
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 6: I don't think that type of move for a very

639
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 6: expensive player that you would need to give an extension

640
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 6: to makes sense for this team for a number of reasons.

641
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 4: First and foremost's just starting.

642
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 6: With how much money this team has committed across the board.

643
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 6: It's up against the second Apron and all those sort

644
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 6: of things.

645
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 5: I just strove a pa with the idea for trading.

646
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: For any forty forty five million dollar player.

647
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 5: I struggle with who the Wolves are going to.

648
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 6: Give up to make that money match right, because it's

649
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 6: going to need to be high quality players from their

650
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 6: rotation to go get anybody who makes forty plus millions.

651
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 4: And and I don't know, it's.

652
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 6: To be a big cost to trade Randall and Evencenzo,

653
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 6: you know, for a forty.

654
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: One million dollar player, right like it?

655
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 7: It doesn't.

656
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 6: It doesn't line up perfectly to me with any of

657
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 6: these players that we've at least seen the rumored about

658
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 6: right now, so we know this front office will be

659
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 6: in the mix whenever there's an All Star, All NBA

660
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 6: caliber player on the board. I just think they're going

661
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 6: to necessarily have to operate with real caution and jump

662
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 6: on an opportunity that is ridiculously favorable, like when they traded.

663
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 5: Dangel Russell to the Lakers.

664
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: Yep.

665
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: I think they'll sit around and wait for one of

666
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 6: those if those materialize. But I don't know.

667
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 4: It's just a it's a different time.

668
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 5: It's a different type of trade market for the Wolves.

669
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 6: When they don't have picks to trade right to go

670
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 6: get somebody, they're going to have to give up somebody

671
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 6: that's in their rotation or that they've recently spent the

672
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 6: first round pick on, like Rob Dillingham and Terren Shannon Jr.

673
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 6: I just I think that it's going to be more

674
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 6: of a smaller move or that makes more sense to me,

675
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 6: I should say, is not a forty million dollars player.

676
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: How costly would it be?

677
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: And this is from Dane's most recent podcast where where

678
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: you can find it at Dane Moore NBA. I believe

679
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 3: Britt Robson was the most recent co host. How costly

680
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 3: would it be to trade Dante DiVincenzo.

681
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, see that that's The thing is, when we talk about.

682
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 6: This Wolves team being volatile from a competitive standpoint nine

683
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 6: tonight and a little bit you know, immature, Dante and

684
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 6: Rudy are pretty much the same at night tonight. Not

685
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 6: necessarily their production, but they are approach right, They're they're

686
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 6: eighty two game guys where they man locked in, play

687
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 6: with energy and focus no matter what, and both.

688
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 5: Of them have their flaws. It doesn't just because Aunt

689
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: doesn't do that doesn't.

690
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 6: Mean that Rudy Gobert and Donte Devincenzo are better than

691
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 6: something like that. I just think Dante is important to

692
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 6: this team for the reason that he is scrappy every

693
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 6: single night.

694
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 5: He plays hard every single night. He's won a championship.

695
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 5: I think he gets it.

696
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 6: In a way that a lot of these other guys

697
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 6: don't understand of what a championship standard is just because

698
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 6: they haven't they haven't been there yet. Now.

699
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 5: At the same time, Donte.

700
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 6: De Vincenzo is not perfect player, and if you're gonna

701
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 6: go get a more talented player, it's probably gonna cost

702
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 6: you Dante Devincenzo in a trade.

703
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: I'm just saying there's some opportunity costs like.

704
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: You better you better get a guy back who has

705
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 6: a serious professional approach too, because this team has shown

706
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 6: it needs that, it needs that sort of veteran leadership and.

707
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 7: Maturity about them.

708
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: Time for two more for a Dane Moore And with

709
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: Cleveland here tonight, I mean Randal and Gobert versus Mobley

710
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: and Jared Allen. I mean this one has some potential

711
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: bloodbath to it tonight, doesn't it.

712
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm looking for it's two to row against

713
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 6: Cleveland too, So one of those little many kind of

714
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 6: like playoff series middle of the season. It's gonna be

715
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 6: really interesting because this team does struggle against.

716
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 5: Specifically, I think, really strong pick and roll actions.

717
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 6: And you look at the loss against Brooklyn, you look

718
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 6: at the loss against.

719
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: Atlanta recently, the two most recent losses, and.

720
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 6: They just got diced up in the paint right the guard,

721
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 6: creating confusion and pick and roll and just kind.

722
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: Of feeding the big points in the paint points and

723
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 4: the paint points of the paint.

724
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be a good test here against Cleveland,

725
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 6: who's got two very big bigs to punish you in

726
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 6: the paint. But the Wolves had that too, right, They

727
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 6: got they got Ruby Gobert, Julius Randall's physical Naz Reid.

728
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 6: It is a little bit of one of my concerns

729
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 6: with this team though, the depth of big man play

730
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 6: or big men available, that the Wolves have to be

731
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 6: able to throw at teams like this like I've go

732
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 6: Bear getting in follow a couple against Jokich and the

733
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 6: Denver game.

734
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 4: I have concerns about that.

735
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 6: In the playoffs, this team does need to so it

736
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 6: can handle opposing bigs, and I think these two against

737
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 6: Cleveland will be a good test.

738
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: There all right.

739
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: Lastly, my brother OKC beat Utah in overtime last night

740
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: and did so at home a couple of days after

741
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: getting smashed at home.

742
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: By lowly Charlotte. What what what? Why are the Thunder

743
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: a bit off beat right now?

744
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 5: I think part of I think there's something to the

745
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 5: target on your back sort of.

746
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 6: Deal where when you've won the championship and maybe won

747
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 6: the championship and not been a very popular team and

748
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 6: the process teams are gunning for you. I think that's

749
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 6: happening to them, but also kind of in comparison to

750
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 6: the Wolves, right there's it's hard to play hard for

751
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 6: eighty two games for whole season, it's hard to play hard.

752
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 5: And eighty percent of your games.

753
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 6: I think I don't have as much concern about the

754
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 6: Thunder getting back right because I don't think like laziness

755
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 6: is in their DNA or immaturity is in their DNA.

756
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 6: I think the opposite is in their DNA, and so

757
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 6: they're instead kind of going through a rough patch, is

758
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 6: what I would call it, whereas with the Wolves, it

759
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 6: feels like some of the volatility is a little bit

760
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 6: more in their DNA.

761
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 5: That's what Big said at its press conference the other day.

762
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: It's like we're trying to shake this from our DNA.

763
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 6: But it's a good example that even the best teams

764
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 6: can have these these really rough stretches, and it's a

765
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 6: good reminder to like the whole never too high, never.

766
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 4: Too low sort of deal, which I think this Wolves team.

767
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 6: Is actually very good at managing themselves.

768
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 4: But I think Oklahoma City will be all right.

769
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 7: They just they're they're.

770
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: Definitely in a rough You're awesome, man, have fun with

771
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: the podcast. We'll stay in touch more frequently if you

Speaker 7: Okay, Dane, appreciate you having me, man, Thank you, yep.

00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 3: see adelin chat with Kevin gorg of a fan duel

777
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: Sports North about the Wild and the Cracken this evening.

778
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: But first we have another head coach opening. Mike McDaniel,

779
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: head coach of the Miami Dolphins, has been relieved of

780
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 3: his duties. So there's also a general manager's spot open

781
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,520

Speaker 3: joins us now from the Cappuccino Capital. Are you excited

799
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 3: to get home to see fenwayham Brooks?

800
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

801
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 5: That way to see those guys.

802
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 7: Two weeks is a long time, and in my two

803
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 7: decades of doing this gig, by far the longest trip

804
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 7: we've ever had, including the trip to Sweden, which was

805
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 7: five days short of which is remarkable.

806
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 3: Why we just heard Joe o'donald on KFA and describe

807
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: the latter stage is the end of that second game

808
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 3: against the La King senor spotty with your favorite team,

809
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Wild. Why did they only get one of

810
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 3: a possible four points in Los Angeles?

811
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 7: Well, you know this in all sports, PA, it's not

812
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 7: who you play, but when you play them right, And

813
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 7: the Kings are starting to figure things out. They were

814
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 7: one of the favorites in the Western Conference before the

815
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 7: season started. They got off to Antrosi to start, didn't

816
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 7: look like the La Kings machine in the past, but

817
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 7: when they're on top of their game, they're a physical,

818
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 7: heavy team. They proflex with the net and for years

819
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 7: they've given the Minnesota Wild fix, especially in their building

820
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 7: at Crypto dot com. So I don't think anyone was

821
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 7: too surprised.

822
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 6: With how heavy those games were, how tough those games were.

823
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 7: I thought the Lund played particularly well in parts, but

824
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 7: not the entire process of those two games, and I

825
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 7: think left La very frustrated to only get one point

826
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 7: out of a possible for So I think a couple

827
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 7: of days to recharge here give them some good both

828
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 7: mentally and physically, and once again they're catching Seattle cracking

829
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 7: team who's at the top of their game. So it'll

830
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 7: be a big challenging in the night with.

831
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: This road trip, this elongated road trip. Kevin, what's it

832
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: been like having Alex staylock on the journey.

833
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what. As you know, a dear

834
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 7: friend of both of ours, he's a race.

835
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 5: Sunshine, he's a happy.

836
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 7: Guy, and you know, he's incredibly talented. So I love

837
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 7: working with him. Like all of us that do these games,

838
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 7: we've got a passion for game day, so we look

839
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 7: forward especially to be a part of that process. And

840
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 7: then just seeing the fun, loving personality that he had

841
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 7: day by day.

842
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 6: You know him, everything is fun.

843
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 7: Everything is cool.

844
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 6: I had a chance to go out and have some

845
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 6: wings with Alan the gang.

846
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 7: Last night, a terrific time. He's developed a new skill,

847
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 7: apparently golf video game that we're all familiar with Joe O'Donnell,

848
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 7: who he affectually calls Budsy because he's a good butt

849
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 7: of his Golden team. These guys have become almost addicted

850
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 7: to that whole process.

851
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 5: Every night they're off playing Golden tea wow.

852
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, Alzabet, are they betting on it? Not much.

853
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 7: I think it's more of a pride thing.

854
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 6: Right.

855
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 5: They've got these two person teams.

856
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 7: And they got whipped by Odre Martin and top Me,

857
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 7: our pregame producer. So I know that was tough on

858
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 7: their egos because they've been playing this entire trip. And

859
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 7: also Adre hops in a couple of nights ago and

860
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 7: smokes them, so that was terrific.

861
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: Well, Audre's an athlete.

862
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: I mean, we both know no Audra quite sometime, and

863
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 2: I think she was high in softball at one point.

864
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: But no, Oudra A.

865
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 2: Ain't afraid of anything, and b she's an athlete, so

866
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: I'm not super surprised, you know.

867
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 7: Right, terrific And also apparently she crushed at karaoke, and

868
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 7: you know, from working at Canterbury and seen her doing

869
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 7: the national anthem out at our racetrack a couple of times,

870
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 7: how spectacular she is at that craft. So yeah, there's

871
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 7: not much Oddra can't do. But I'm pretty happy that

872
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 7: she got the money and gold.

873
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: How great would it be to like be in the

874
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: crowd karaoke style and have Odra sing a heart song

875
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: like Barracuda?

876
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean that bell would be phenomenal. Wouldn't it so good?

877
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 6: I mean, just classic eighties rock with heart.

878
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: O KG.

879
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 3: You're cracking. You're cracking. A won eight of the last nine.

880
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 3: You referenced it earlier. What's happening there was said cracking.

881
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 7: I don't know, because we were here just short of

882
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 7: a month ago and they looked awful. They were disjointed.

883
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 7: The Wild were the better team every step of the way,

884
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 7: and I just they're a hard working team. A couple

885
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 7: of years ago they were a team that was able

886
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 7: to find the back of the net. I think fourth

887
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 7: highest goals per game that year. They had that playoff

888
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 7: run twenty two and twenty three, and then it kind

889
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 7: of left them for a while and they had a

890
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 7: hard time scoring goals, and at start of this year,

891
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 7: scoring goals was a real struggle. That's not the case

892
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 7: right now. They put seven on the Boston Bruins a

893
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 7: couple of nights ago. They've won eight out of nine.

894
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 7: They've won four in a row, and the Pacific Division

895
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 7: PA is so crazy. They're one point out of first place.

896
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 7: Right now. The Golden Knights and Oilers are tied at

897
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 7: forty eight. They've got forty seven, which sounds like they're

898
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 7: a playoff lock. And then you look at the first

899
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 7: team out of the playoffs, which right now is Anaheim,

900
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 7: and they're only two points in front of them. So

901
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 7: I expect them to be a desperate team.

902
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 6: Remember the last time the Wild played here, Dunn had

903
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 6: that clean but really big hit on Matt Zucarello and

904
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 6: drew the ire of the Minnesota Wild from that point

905
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 6: in the hockey game on.

906
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 5: It was super.

907
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 7: Intense, there was physical play, there was chirping, and this

908
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 7: was three weeks ago. So I'm anticipating that the Wild

909
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 7: have not forgotten. Zucarello back and the lineup obviously doing

910
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 7: good things, so tonight could have a little spice to

911
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 7: it as well.

912
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: Hey, since we down memory lane, we go for just

913
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 2: a second like you did to that Seattle game month

914
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: a month ago, a week ago when you guys were

915
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: in San Jose.

916
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: Probably feels like a year ago to you. But a

917
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 3: week ago when you were in San Jose. I mean,

918
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 3: I'm breaking news here or anything, but how amazing is

919
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: maclen Celabrini, especially given his age. I mean, he's fantastic.

920
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 7: I can't believe the kid is nineteen years old. I'm

921
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 7: so happy that Team Canada did the right thing and

922
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 7: put him on the team because I think hockey fans

923
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 7: that are going to watch the Olympics, sports fans and

924
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 7: maybe Arenest big of hockey fans are going to get

925
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 7: a chance to watch this guy. And he's a generational talent.

926
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 7: So he's no different than when Connor McDavid or when

927
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 7: Gretzky broke into this league. I'm going to keep him

928
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 7: in that company because that's what I think about this guy.

929
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 7: He's absolutely spellbinding with his offensive skills, but what separates

930
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 7: himpa is how good he is about the He has

931
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 7: what they call a twitter foot game where he plays

932
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 7: just as hard in the defensive zone.

933
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 5: He's an incredible skater.

934
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 7: He's got the puck skills, but he plays with some grit,

935
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 7: he's got some carill to him on the wall and

936
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 7: so just amazing to watch that guy up close and personal.

937
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 7: And he's haunted the Wild in every matchup this year.

938
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 4: Yep, and he's nineteen, So.

939
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 7: I don't even know how good.

940
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 4: This guy can be.

941
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 7: Like he hasn't even grown and he was an adult

942
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 7: body yet, Like this kid is something special because he

943
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 7: plays in San Jose, because the games are on so

944
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 7: late at night for people in the middle of the

945
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 7: country or the eastern part of the country. I think

946
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 7: the Olympics is going to be a stage where you

947
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 7: can really see this kid shine and it's great for

948
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 7: the game of hockey.

949
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 3: Alrighty KG double B is guiding the Great Chip Covenant

950
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: today and he would like to hit you with a question.

951
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think celebrating is the next wild killer, the

952
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 2: next anti wild But as far as my question, whilst

953
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 2: that gets the start in Seattle, if Game one of

954
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs was today, who would Kevin Gord put in

955
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 2: the net?

956
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 7: A good question, DOUBLEB? Wow, you know a lot would

957
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 7: depend truthfully on what we see in April, Like how

958
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 7: these guys are trending into the playoffs, and I think

959
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 7: if all things are equal, we sit here right now

960
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 7: and handicapped this. I think dust Buss gets the first

961
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 7: kick at the can because of his playoff experience. That

962
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 7: doesn't mean he's going to be the guy through the

963
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 7: entire process. If you look at the best run this

964
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 7: franchise ever had way back in three with Darby Henderson

965
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 7: and my guy West Walls, they were able to rotate

966
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 7: guys and have a lot of luck doing it. And

967
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 7: I would not be surprised if both these guys we

968
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 7: had a chance to have an imprint on their playoff

969
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 7: push this year, especially if they make a run. Great question.

970
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 7: I think dust Bust being the incumbent is the flight

971
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 7: lean as we sit here in early January, but I

972
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 7: think a lot can change between now and April. And

973
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 7: I don't think these coaches right now have any problem

974
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 7: at any point putting either one of these guys.

975
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 5: In any spot.

976
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 7: And we all found to be dust tonight in Seattle,

977
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 7: and we asked John Huns the question yesterday.

978
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 6: I think we're all assuming it was going to be Guss.

979
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 6: He's got great numbers against the crack, But you can't

980
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 6: really make a bad decision right now.

981
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 7: Both these guys seem to be giving this team a

982
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 7: chance to win every time they play. I think, you know, again,

983
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 7: looking forward to April, looking forward to that matchup with Dallas,

984
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 7: I do think Dust would get the net in game one.

985
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:18,959
Speaker 1: KG.

986
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm glad Brett asked that question because I was wondering,

987
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 3: is there rhyme or reason to which Coalie plays? I

988
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 3: mean it was it was yesper than Boss than than

989
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 3: Yesper than Boss, I mean for just a long time,

990
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 3: but that changed a little bit recently. What what do

991
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: you think goes into the coaches decision on which goaltender

992
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 3: to play?

993
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 7: Well, Pa, I think part of it is the numbers

994
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 7: they have against that particular team, but also they look

995
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 7: at the schedule that's that's in coming, and it isn't

996
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 7: just who starts tonight in Seattle. Likely the other guy

997
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 7: would get to start when they get home to face

998
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 7: the Islanders on Saturday. And then if you look at

999
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 7: like the schedule when it gets a little bit more

1000
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 7: can like a week and a half from now, they've

1001
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 7: got back to back games at Toronto and at Montreal.

1002
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 7: Then they come home for a game with Detroit. They're

1003
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 7: not just looking at that particular matchup that night. They're

1004
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 7: trying to look forward to how the rotation will fall,

1005
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 7: and they want to put these guys out there against

1006
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 7: teams they've had success. Again, I think that's a good thing,

1007
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 7: and so there's a lot that goes into the process,

1008
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 7: and they look at how they've been trending and how

1009
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 7: they've been playing, and they try not to give these

1010
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 7: guys too much of a gap in between games. Now,

1011
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 7: if they've got this rotation kind of figured out, they

1012
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 7: want to get these guys a steady diet.

1013
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 5: Of game action.

1014
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 7: So I think there's a lot that goes into it.

1015
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 7: I think Freddie Shabat, their goalie coach, has got his

1016
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 7: finger on the pulse and he's very sharp, and he

1017
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 7: really tracks.

1018
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 6: With these guys are doing not only on game night,

1019
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 6: but a practice night. Watching both the guys work with

1020
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 6: Freddy yesterday at practice for some extended time. I think

1021
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 6: that's a big piece of the puzzle. And I think

1022
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 6: John Hines really trusts Freddy Shabat to kind of help

1023
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 6: him make that call. Ultimately, it falls on John Hines,

1024
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 6: but I do think a process to start with pretty shabat.

1025
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: How excited are you for your Broncos next week? With

1026
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: that one seed?

1027
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 6: It's pretty cool. I was just talking to Double B

1028
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 6: in the commercial break, like, I don't know if they're

1029
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 6: good enough to win the whole thing, but I sure

1030
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 6: think it's exciting that they get to have home field

1031
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 6: advantage all the way through it. So, if I'm putting

1032
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 6: my money on the line right now, it's Jacksonville and

1033
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 6: the Rams for me, I think they both looked like

1034
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 6: some value there, But my heart says the Broncos at

1035
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 6: home with that defense have a chance no matter who

1036
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 6: they play, even though they got schooled by Jacksonville a

1037
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago on their home turf.

1038
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 7: I love that they've got the home field advantage. They

1039
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 7: earned that after a one and two start. Pretty remarkable

1040
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 7: that they were able to turn it around. Now, it

1041
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 7: wasn't always pretty. They had a soft schedule, and they

1042
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 7: had some struggles against some bad teams, but they found

1043
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 7: ways to win games, and I think it's going to

1044
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 7: be incredibly exciting. I'm pumped about it. I'm a huge

1045
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 7: bow Knicks fan, as you know, so let's let's play

1046
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,439
Speaker 7: these games. And I think the NFL is wide open

1047
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 7: this year. So it's one of those strangers where there's

1048
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 7: no dominant team. There's no Ma Homes, there's no Brady,

1049
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 7: there's no Lamar. So I think the playoffs are fascinating great.

1050
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 3: Last one on the hockey team is tonight a human

1051
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 3: nature game? I mean, end of a two week roadie,

1052
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 3: and people probably want to get home. I mean, you

1053
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 3: know what I mean, is it a human nature night?

1054
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 7: Well, there's no question that's on the mind of the

1055
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 7: coaching staff. They've they've done everything they can to keep

1056
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 7: these guys focused in on what matters.

1057
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 6: This's a big game in my opinion. You know, this

1058
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 6: had the potential to be a remarkable trip. LA put

1059
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 6: them in a position now where it can be a

1060
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 6: really good trip or it can.

1061
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 7: Be just an okay trip. And so I think the

1062
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 7: couple of days off they've had here certainly helps. They

1063
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 7: all want to get home, right, I mean, two weeks

1064
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 7: is a really long time. A lot of these guys

1065
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 7: have young kids at home, kids that play hockey, all

1066
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 7: that good stuff. It's all part of the gig, right,

1067
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 7: But they won't make any excuses. And I do think

1068
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 7: what happened with Matt Ziberlo a few weeks ago when

1069
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 7: they were here. I think that absolutely helps. And I

1070
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 7: think the more difficult game will be the game when

1071
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 7: they get back. I think the game Saturday against the

1072
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 7: Honorors is one of the toughest spots on the entire

1073
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 7: schedule this year. I'm expecting the Wild to play well tonight.

1074
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 7: I'm expecting the Wild to win the night, and I'm

1075
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 7: expecting big trouble on Saturday, first game back after fourteen

1076
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 7: days away. We don't land till late in the afternoon tomorrow,

1077
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 7: so that to me is a much tougher spot.

1078
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: Bro, that's an elite Take last one.

1079
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 3: If you interview Middleton between periods tonight, any chance he

1080
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 3: wears his sweater and you go shirtless?

1081
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 7: You know, that's a great question, and I just go

1082
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 7: up to tune in to see what happened just one time.

1083
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 3: All right, Box in the box a treea next Thursday.

1084
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 3: So would love to have you on Winnipeg's in town.

1085
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 3: Would love to have you join if you have time.

1086
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 3: Kevin sounds wonderful.

1087
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 7: Help me in PA.

1088
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 3: You're awesome, brother, can't wait to see you down the

1089
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 3: road and safe travels.

1090
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 1: All right, enjoy the game. Tonight.

1091
00:53:59,280 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 5: Love you.
