They'll stumble across my 33 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 4: skeleton remains and my cold dead, not rig but fossilized 34 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: lips attached to this microphone. And it's not a Noyman 35 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: BCM one O four anymore. It's some kind of an 36 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 4: electro LUXE eighty I don't remember the number now. 37 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: But it's just an electro lux. 38 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: It's it's okay, it works, I mean it's it's not 39 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: a bad microphone, but it's not a great microphone. Here 40 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: until three, I would suppose the regular listeners of the 41 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 4: program probably realized right away that Tennaby is not here today. 42 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 4: We had no montage for after the Vikings victory, though, 43 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: I sam byrd in today for the Tennebee, who I 44 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 4: think is at home with it with a sick child. 45 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: And you asked if you know if I needed any 46 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: audio or anything, and I just said, let's wing it. 47 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: Of course. 48 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: Then you texted back, why did I know? That was 49 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 4: the response, and I told you, we just do free 50 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: form radio. The danger, as I told you in the 51 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: text of doing free form radio, is it can turn 52 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: into a free fall. 53 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: It's like walking a tightrope. It's like I'm the car 54 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: will lend of radio. 55 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 4: You're on that tight rope and you walk in and 56 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 4: it's all good, and then all of a sudden gusta 57 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: wind blows and boom, pappack it down, pappack it down, 58 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: and you just plummet to your death. So we could 59 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: die a very slowed death today a very quick and 60 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: painless one. We'll just see how it works. But we 61 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 4: are here until three o'clock, head coach of the soon 62 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 4: to be Big Game World champion Minnesota Vikings. We weren't sure, 63 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: you know, with a late night game and a flight 64 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 4: back from Dallas one he would do his day after 65 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 4: the game news conference. 66 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: But he's doing it regularly, scheduled twelve third. He's excited. 67 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: I'm sure he's excited about what happened last night in 68 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 4: the big d Vikings win. There I think it's their 69 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 4: second win in a row. They improved five and eight. 70 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: Of course, leading into yesterday's game, they knew before they 71 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 4: even had the opening pooch. 72 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: It's not a boom anymore. 73 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 4: By the way, because they just pooched the ball and 74 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 4: try to keep it in play. But the Vikings had 75 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: been eliminated from postseason play, and you know, they would 76 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 4: have needed several things to go their way, like they'd 77 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 4: have to win every game, and every other team in 78 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: the league would have to lose every game, which is 79 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: a possible because there's there's sixteen games a week, and 80 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: that means there's sixteen winners, and so the other fifteen teams, 81 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: the other thirty one teams, weren't all going to lose. 82 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: So the Vikings. 83 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: Have been eliminated. But we'll talk about that. There is 84 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: plenty to get to today. There will be no Wheeler 85 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 4: topic because I know exactly what order of Actually, if 86 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: you're if you're looking for excitement level and maybe order 87 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: of importance, you'll probably start with the Minnesota While they 88 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: had the blockbuster trade, while we were away and I 89 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: was on call, I had told Chad Abbott that, no, 90 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: I'm being serious.

Uh, you know it's you know you. 245 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: Vikings win. They defeat Dallas. I think eight points the 246 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: final score or something like that, a game in which 247 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 4: it was entertaining. It wasn't the sharpest played game in 248 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 4: the world by either side, more offense than defense, but 249 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 4: that's okay too. 250 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 3: I think we went into the game. 251 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 4: I think everybody went into the game knowing that the 252 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 4: Vikings weren't going to qualify for the playoffs this year, 253 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: trying to see if if if are if nine, the 254 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 4: alter ego to JJ McCarthy could return to that nine, 255 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 4: because sometimes he plays like JJ McCarthy, which is not good. 256 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 4: We've seen that the JJ McCarthy is. 257 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 3: Not nine is good. 258 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 4: And we saw more nine yesterday than we did J. J. McCarthy. 259 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: The first offensive play of the game was an interception. 260 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 4: Then the Cowboys fake field goal, one of the coolest 261 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: looking plays I've ever seen on the fake field goal 262 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 4: where the holder just flipped it blindedly over his shoulder. 263 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 4: Place kicker got it, ran for the first thing. 264 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: His name is Aubrey. 265 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 4: And then they went to score a tuddy and you 266 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: were thinking made this could be a long day for 267 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: the Purple, but they got they got the ship righted, 268 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 4: and they went on to win. And and McCarthy, you, no, sorry. 269 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 4: Nine played pretty well yesterday. I must admit I was, 270 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 4: and I would call it being pleasantly surprised. I think 271 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: I brought this up last week. I've had this gut 272 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 4: feeling all along that well, he might not be ponder like. 273 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: I didn't think he was going to get to be 274 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 4: Peyton Manning like, and he's probably not going to be 275 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: either one. 276 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: But that was pretty good. Yesterday. That wasn't bad. 277 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: Now you have to take into consideration the opponent, Dallas. 278 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: If Tenneby would have been here today, I would have 279 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 4: apologized to him. He he stated that Dallas's defense was awful, 280 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: and I said, now wait a minute, I said, let's 281 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: call a time out here. Previous to the kiddies game, 282 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 4: which was last week, where I think the Lions, I 283 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 4: think they put up on even more points than the 284 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 4: Vikings did, but it was a bundle they'd like. I 285 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 4: think they I think they hung forty four on Dallas 286 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 4: last week. But the previous two games, the Dallas defense 287 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: had shown some major improvement. They had taken some strides, 288 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 4: so I thought, well, maybe that can carry on with 289 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 4: the Vikings. It did not, as the Vikings pretty much 290 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 4: could do whatever they wanted. 291 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 3: On the ground and in the air. While while you 292 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: do have to take in my opinion, the. 293 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 4: Level of the competition, Dallas just is sn't very good defensively. 294 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 4: Last weekend before Washington had lost eight games in a row. 295 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: Their defense isn't very good either. But as you've heard 296 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 3: me say. 297 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 4: Six seven times, at least the Vikings don't put the 298 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 4: roster together for the other team. They don't put the 299 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 4: schedule together, They don't do the pregame pump up stuff 300 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 4: for the other team. So it's there not to be 301 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 4: blamed for playing two teams that just aren't very good defensively. 302 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 4: And the Vikings did so with a beat up offensive line. Again, 303 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 4: Derisad didn't play. O'Neill was out with an injury, so 304 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 4: they didn't even have their their their their full five lineup, 305 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 4: you know, the five that they wanted to start the 306 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 4: season with. As a matter of I think last week 307 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 4: was the first and only time the team is at 308 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 4: all five of the the starters they envisioned when the 309 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: season began to play on the offensive line, from center 310 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 4: to the two guards to the two tackles, and this 311 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 4: week it went back to uh O'Neill. O'Neill had had 312 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 4: a foot problem. Derisaw didn't even play. I mean, as 313 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 4: far as I know, I don't think he even suit 314 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 4: it up. So it's it's nice, it's it's it's it's 315 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 4: encouraging because after those. 316 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: That those handful of games, or he looked just got awful. 317 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 4: He looked like he looked like he we might want 318 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 4: a fish and cut bait now, But you do have 319 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 4: to stay patient, and we all agree to that, and 320 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 4: now we'll see what happens. They have another game now, 321 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 4: they're playing a terrible Giants teen. This one's on the road. 322 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 4: I'm not sure exactly how that will go. But the 323 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 4: Giants aren't very good either. And then with Detroit, they're 324 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 4: one of my regular listeners. An emailer sent an email 325 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 4: to me last night and said, looks like golf was 326 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 4: off because Detroit lost had nothing to do with with golf. 327 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 4: Golf played really well again yesterday. He completed more than 328 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 4: sixty percent of his passes. He threw for three touchdowns 329 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 4: three hundred plus yards. It was the Lions defense again 330 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 4: that had no answer. 331 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 3: For the Los A. It was a Here's what I'm 332 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 3: beginning to think. 333 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 4: The Lions. If you're looking for the Lions are on 334 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 4: your front porch. I think the other teams are doing 335 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: now is they're just ransacking the house and going out 336 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 4: the back. 337 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 3: Door because it's it's. 338 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: The Lions defensively, for the second week in a row, 339 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 4: came out a halftime and had no answer for they 340 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 4: were They were out played and out coached, and they 341 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 4: got they got crushed and so having Detroit, so you 342 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 4: got the Giants on the road. 343 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 3: Then you have. 344 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: Detroit at home, which should not be now Detroit could 345 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 4: still be there. They're they're hanging by a thread to 346 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 4: a possible playoff spot. They need to run the table. 347 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 4: They'll need to be Pittsburgh this week at the litter Box, 348 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 4: which I would say that's a pick them game. Pittsburgh's 349 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 4: playing pretty well. They're they're they're in a playoff position 350 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 4: right now for in the AFC. But my guess is 351 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 4: the Lions won't put up much resistance defensively, which leads 352 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 4: the Bikings to the last game of the season, which 353 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 4: is at home against green Bay. Green Bay more than 354 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 4: likely will have playoff positioning to be playing for. They'll 355 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 4: be looking for either a number one seed that doesn't 356 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 4: look likely now after yesterday's lost to Denver, but still 357 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 4: in the cards, and certainly a number two seed. 358 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 3: Three seed. 359 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 4: You know, you want to get a home game if 360 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: you can, so they might. But now, let's say green 361 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 4: Bay by the time we get to the final week 362 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 4: of the season, if winning or losing doesn't change their 363 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: seeding at all, I don't think we're going to see 364 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 4: a lot of Jay Love or any of their other 365 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 4: starting players, So this could be a real nice situation 366 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: for the Vikings offensively to give McCarthy some more time. 367 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 4: Though you could make the argument you'd rather him play 368 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 4: against teams that have something to play for, so that 369 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 4: he's playing in a game in which the opposition is 370 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 4: giving it everything they have. 371 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: So like Dallas last night, for sure. 372 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, but Dallas defensively is terriblest. It doesn't matter 373 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 4: if you're terrible, doesn't matter how desperate you are. I 374 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 4: don't believe in the desperation level anyways. People will go 375 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 4: with the desperation level all the time. They'll say, well, 376 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 4: when they're handicapping games that go, well, this team's desperate, 377 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 4: so that's why we're going to get a better fut 378 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 4: of them. There's a reason that team was desperate, because 379 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 4: they're not very good if they If you're desperate, it 380 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: means that you've you've done a number of things wrong 381 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 4: throughout the season to lose games you probably shouldn't have lost. 382 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 4: So Dallas's defense, there's nothing there. They're they're they're they're 383 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 4: one of the worst defenses in the league. Statistically, they're 384 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 4: ranked thirtieth and thirty first and thirty second in every 385 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 4: meaningful defensive category. But again that's not the Vikings fault 386 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 4: or Nine's fault. So that worked well, and so it 387 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 4: was a nice It was a nice game. Let's take 388 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 4: a break. 389 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 3: Play music. 390 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 4: We are. 391 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 3: Pick of the Purple was brought to you by our friends. 392 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 4: At Affordable Electric, Affordable Dash Electrics dot Com from your 393 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 4: electrical needs. 394 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: More controversial Vikings news. We'll talk a little while other 395 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: side of the break. Common Man program on the Fan. 396 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: The common Man who cares about common Common is boring. 397 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 5: It's common weekdays at noon on the Fan and. 398 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 4: A couple thirteen fourteen past Common Man program in common. 399 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 4: He is Sam in for at Tendabee Today manager Blockbuster 400 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 4: trade for the Minnesota Wild. 401 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 3: Over the weekend they trade for. 402 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 4: Quen Hughes, who I'll be honest with, thean idols won't 403 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 4: come as a surprise to anybody. I never hoided the 404 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 4: guy before until this weekend, and now I feel like 405 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 4: he's my best friend. I know everything about him, where 406 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 4: he's been, where he's going, where he's at. He was 407 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 4: in Vancouver. He was a twenty seventeen draft picked. I 408 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: believe made his debut in twenty nineteen, or maybe he 409 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 4: was a twenty nineteen draft pick and made his debut 410 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one, won the uh Is the Norris 411 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 4: Trophy for best Defenseman in Hockey yesterday. He's due a 412 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 4: really big contract in about a year and a half. 413 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 4: We have him through twenty seven. We traded the equivalent 414 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 4: of four number one picks, an unprotected twenty twenty six 415 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 4: first round pick, and then boy, I had all the 416 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 4: names down Ogrin and Rossie all traded for and you know, 417 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 4: all those players from what people tell me. Again, I'm 418 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 4: going I'm not paying his close attention to the National 419 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: Hockey to the National Hockey League or the Minnesota Wild 420 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 4: as I once did. But I'm told all of those 421 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 4: players were quality players. It wasn't like, wow, this guy 422 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 4: was a real disappointment. You know, he did he was 423 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: highly regarded. He didn't live up to expectations. So it's 424 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 4: like it's like a win win for us where else 425 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 4: we're getting one of the best defensive players in hockey 426 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 4: and we need help. 427 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: On the blue line. 428 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 4: And they were also getting rid of some dead weight 429 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: because they certainly weren't dead weight. What I find interesting is, 430 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 4: and this benefit it benefits the Wild. 431 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: Well, it did benefit the wild. 432 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 4: You wonder if it is because what I read in 433 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 4: the fish raft factory West Side, or maybe this was 434 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 4: an athletic piece, but it said Canuck's president of hockey operations, 435 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 4: Jimmy Rutherford, already at a feeling Hughes wouldn't resign once he. 436 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: Reached free agency in twenty twenty seven. 437 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 4: Vancouver is a terrible team in a terrible city with 438 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 4: terrible fans, in a terrible stand. 439 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 3: They're in dead last place, and. 440 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 4: Although Vancouver didn't have to, he wanted to send Hughes 441 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 4: to a team that would work for him, which I 442 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 4: think you see that more often now in sports, sports, sports, 443 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 4: at your whole life, just sports, where there will be 444 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 4: general managers who will try to play kate the player 445 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: they are trading instead of just saying I can't. 446 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: Worry about where you want. 447 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 4: You know, where you've been, where you are, where you 448 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 4: want to go. 449 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 3: I have to do what's best for the team. 450 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 4: But Hughes was quoted as saying it was a tough situation, 451 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 4: but I felt it was time, meaning they had discussions 452 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 4: with the front office and saying, look, this isn't working 453 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 4: out for us anymore. He says they were kind of 454 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 4: talking a lot about places I might feel comfortable, and 455 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 4: Jim was amazing with that. 456 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 3: He cared about the person. He wanted me to go where. 457 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 4: He thought I'd be happy, and they thought one of 458 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 4: those places was Minnesota. 459 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 3: Garren got the call. 460 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 4: The story talks about I think he was making mostacholi, 461 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 4: or maybe he was making. 462 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 3: What's a Mexican vegetas. 463 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 4: I think he was making fijidas or something like that. 464 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: When he got the phone call to say that Vancouver 465 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: was ready to cut the deal, Garan and he he 466 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 4: here's what. Here's where you do have to if you 467 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 4: believe this had anything to do with it, and there 468 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 4: are those that believe he did, including Hughes, he says. 469 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 3: Hughes was also appreciated it. 470 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 4: Says Garant interacted with Hughes earlier this year when Hughes 471 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 4: had to drop out of the United States team in 472 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 4: the Four Nations face off due to injury, and Hughes 473 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 4: said it gave him quote a glimpse of what a 474 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 4: good person Bill Garan is. He was also was also 475 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 4: appreciative of Garan pulling off the blockbuster trade for Rossi 476 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 4: buyem Ogrin in a first round draft pick. Hughes says 477 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 4: he wants to prove he was right in doing so, 478 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 4: because that's that's that's one of those. 479 00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 3: The only comparison I can draw. 480 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 4: It's herschel Walker like, though I don't think it's going 481 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 4: to work out to be herschel Walker like. In other words, 482 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 4: I don't think the Wild is going to be the 483 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 4: equivalent of the Vikings in trading all sorts of draft 484 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 4: picks and players. And really, let's face it, Walker never 485 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 4: lived up to the expectations and didn't do for the 486 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 4: Vikings what they expected them to do back in eighty 487 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 4: nine when they cut that deal. 488 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 3: I was all for it. I was a rube. I 489 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: thought the Vikings. 490 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 4: I thought they were a running back away as Michael 491 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 4: Linn and the Vikings that they thought they were running 492 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 4: a quality running back away from from being a Super 493 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 4: Bowl contender, and it didn't work out that way. But 494 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 4: it's still it's it's it's a it's a big trade 495 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 4: when you're it's a four for one is what it is. 496 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 4: What it amounts to, though the one is accomplished more 497 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 4: than the other four, so that's that's obviously the trade off. 498 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 3: He said. 499 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 4: There are other teams that probably could have thrown in 500 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 4: certain packages like that too, but at the end of 501 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 4: the day, they didn't want to do that, or they 502 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 4: didn't want to trade two or three assets from their team. 503 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 4: Billy did so I remember that, and that means a 504 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 4: lot to me that Billy did that, which. 505 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 3: Then takes it to the next logical step. Will that. 506 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 4: Will those good feelings between the two the good will 507 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 4: continue when we get to free agency period for. 508 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: For Heughes in twenty twenty seven. We've got him all 509 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: of this year, in all of next year. 510 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 4: Now he's got two brothers, is what I'm told, that 511 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 4: are both really good players, and I think they both 512 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 4: play for New Jersey. So there has been speculation, and 513 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 4: I don't think anybody in that family, the trio of brothers, 514 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 4: has thrown any cold water on this. The three of 515 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 4: them would like to play together someday. So does that 516 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 4: mean he ends up going to New Jersey or do 517 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 4: we have to make another and get his two brothers 518 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 4: to come here. I don't know what what what the 519 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 4: point is. I don't know how important that is to him. 520 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: Uh and then apparently his whole you know, I think 521 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 4: he's from Michigan. 522 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: Did I read that right that Detroit. 523 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 4: Is his his his is like his hometown team. So 524 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 4: he'd like there's the speculation that he might want to 525 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: play to UH in Michigan. But Hughes went on to say, 526 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 4: and he also said the fans reaction to. 527 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: Him was big because they gave him arousing applause. 528 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 4: So with the way this with, with the way it started, 529 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 4: UH with a win he scored in his. 530 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: First game with the Wild. I think his goal was 531 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: the fourth one of the game. You can't you know. Look, 532 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 3: I'm taking. 533 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 4: The word of the people that I trust when it 534 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 4: comes to hockey now would be the people that write 535 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 4: hockey in this town, the Tennebee's, the Russo and the 536 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 4: Sarah McClellan and all the others that that write hockey 537 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 4: and follow the league. They they tell me that this 538 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 4: immediately makes the Wild. 539 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: They were already off to him. 540 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 4: The season started out poorly, then they went on that 541 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 4: nice November run. Their record in November was. 542 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 3: It was spectacular. 543 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 4: I think they only had one or two losses regulation 544 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 4: losses in the entire a month in November, and that 545 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 4: put them firmly in the chase for a playoff spot. 546 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 4: And now adding him you've got one of the best 547 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 4: forwards in the business. There are those that might suggest 548 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 4: Caprisov is the best forward in the league. I think 549 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 4: most people would say, well, let's not get carried away, 550 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 4: but he's certainly a top five player in this league. 551 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 3: You mix that with. 552 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 4: Maybe the best defenseman in all of hockey, and certainly 553 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 4: what I've been able to gather as he's for sure 554 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 4: top three, maybe top two, or maybe the best one. 555 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 4: Then you add him with Faber, who is already you know, 556 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 4: and there were quotes from Faber who said this is 557 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 4: good for him, this is good for the team. 558 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 3: The two of them can work well off each other. 559 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: That's the figures. 560 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 4: It'll take five six games and they are already showing 561 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 4: some of it yesterday. I think Faber had to assists yesterday. So, 562 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 4: you know, we talked last week. Tend to be brought 563 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 4: it up again. We have this discussion every so often 564 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 4: on the grum where we say, okay, uh, which of 565 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 4: the major men's for as the best chance to bring 566 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 4: a championship to the. 567 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 3: To the Twin Cities. 568 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 4: So you know, the lead the last couple years been 569 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 4: West to Minnesota Timberwolves. They got to the Western Conference 570 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 4: finals the last two years in a row. Now they 571 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 4: got blown out in the Western Conference finals. Both years 572 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 4: got killed by Dallas, killed by OKAC four games to one. 573 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 4: So even though they're in the finals, you could make 574 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 4: the argument they're. 575 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: Not as close to getting in the finals as we think. 576 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 4: It's not like they took Dallas or ok C to 577 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 4: the limit, you know, pushed it to six or seven games, 578 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 4: six seven games. It was basically they got They just 579 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 4: they were completely outplayed and overmatched in. 580 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 3: Those in those two matchups. But again bringing back pretty 581 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: much the same host we lost. Nah, right, was that? 582 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 4: Noah, we lost, We lost one player on the club, 583 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 4: but other than that, we were bringing everybody back. 584 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: So okay, all is right with the world. The Wild. 585 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 4: We going into this season after the Pereasy Suitor contract. 586 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 4: You know, after that, money was was no longer hanging 587 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 4: over the Wild's heads. We had all sorts of money 588 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 4: to spend in free agency. The only issue was the 589 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 4: best free agents we signed with their team. So they stayed. 590 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 4: So they stayed the course, didn't spend any money. Now 591 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 4: they made the blockbuster trade. We know the Twins that 592 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 4: that they'll never contend probably ever, Right, I think that's 593 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 4: probably a given that they if you're a baseball fan, 594 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 4: uh and you were around in eighty seven to ninety one, 595 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 4: by god, enjoyed and remember it, because we ain't ever 596 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 4: going to get there again. And then there were these 597 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: including myself, that thought, well, maybe it's the Vikings who 598 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 4: might be who might give the the the uh, the 599 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 4: state the best chance to win a major championship and 600 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 4: win the big game in the in the men's. 601 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 3: Major four because they're coming down out again. 602 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 4: We know it ended badly last year with the two 603 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 4: losses at the end, they got crushed by Detroit, they 604 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 4: got beat by the Rams. They decided to go in 605 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 4: a different direction and started with a young quarterback. That 606 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 4: decision to go with the young quarterback and overload him 607 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 4: with a full system and not quite ready to play 608 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 4: his mechanics. 609 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 3: Even last night, if you're watching the game last night, 610 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 3: they were. 611 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 4: They showed several highlights of Sam throwing the football or 612 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 4: not Sam, you're Sam JJ throwing the. 613 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: Football, And there were there was the one play where apparently. 614 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 4: His mechanics were perfect feet, firmly planted eyes matched up 615 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 4: with with his feet through a nice pass. 616 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 3: Then there was those fast balls he throws where he 617 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: does look like a pitcher. 618 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 4: He's making the big wind up and when he throws, 619 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: he's got that right leg swinging over the top. 620 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 3: But it worked. 621 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 4: But I think the Vikings and I've talked about this 622 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 4: really for the past few weeks. It appears as though 623 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 4: maybe the. 624 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 3: Coaching staff and the. 625 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 4: The front office maybe overestimated how far along McCarthy was, 626 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 4: because I don't think it's any secret the team was 627 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 4: planning to contend this year by spending the money they 628 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 4: did on the interior of both the offensive and defensive lines. 629 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 4: Those players have been been okay. A couple of played okay. 630 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 4: The others certainly haven't. Haven't probably lived up to the 631 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 4: to the amount their contracts you would think they would. 632 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 4: And then the quarterback has struggled mightily until the past 633 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 4: couple of weeks he's looked a lot better. So it's 634 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 4: right now the wild It seems like it's the wilder 635 00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 4: bust when it comes to, uh, somebody making a world championship. 636 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 4: This one says, I don't know if anyone outside of 637 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 4: Minnesota has Caprice Off as a top five player. Hey, 638 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 4: maybe they don't. I've been led to believe that he's 639 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 4: con well, he's the highest paid player. Now, highest paid 640 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 4: player doesn't necessarily translate into the very best player. 641 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 7: But he's pretty good. Let's just let mean he's he's 642 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 7: the best player on the team. He's one of the 643 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 7: best in the NHL, for sure? 644 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: Is he is? 645 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 3: He top five? 646 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 4: Though? That was that was what he That was the 647 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 4: debate five but you but you're not a hockey guy. 648 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll put out the text to Bret and see 649 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 7: what he thinks. 650 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 3: Oh so here's. 651 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 4: Best five players NHL. M they don't have. Nobody has 652 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 4: him in the current top five according to what I'm seeing, 653 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 4: McDavid number one, Nathan McKinnon number two, Austin Matthews number three, 654 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,919 Speaker 4: Dry Title number four, Cale mccarr, and Quinn Hughes. Our 655 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 4: guy ranked is number five. So yeah, nobody has I. 656 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 4: I uh, I stand corrected. It's this ranking from NHL 657 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 4: dot com. Is Quinn Hughes as number ten player in 658 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 4: the National Hockey League? 659 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: Sure? 660 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 7: I wonder if that's bolton board material for those guys, 661 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 7: if they have, no, I don't think. 662 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 3: They really cares about that. I don't think if that 663 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 3: bothers any of those guys. 664 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 4: But nonetheless, so yeah, I mean it's it's it's hard 665 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 4: not to be encouraged the now here's one here, Minnesota 666 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 4: fan or not. If you don't think Krill is top five, 667 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 4: you're on crack cocaine. 668 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 3: I'll see. 669 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 4: But then I here's what I don't know. See Now, 670 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 4: maybe I've been buying into this top five because maybe 671 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 4: it is the Minnesota bias. Right, sure, top five forwards 672 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 4: in the NHL, he's not on the list. 673 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 3: This can't be right, though. 674 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 4: Then they've got an aging Matt Dushane at thirty four 675 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 4: years there's no way he can he considered better Sidney Crosby's. 676 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 4: He's isn't he done? I don't even think he's the best. 677 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 4: Not only is he not the one of the best 678 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 4: top ten forwards in in the national highker I don't 679 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 4: think he's the best forward on his team right now. 680 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 4: But there you go that. That's that's the numbers you have. 681 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 4: So it says Timberwolves will win their championship next boy, 682 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 4: I'm not ready to. 683 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear how that's gonna happen. 684 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 4: Well, well, no, they're good. I mean I don't I 685 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 4: don't think they're not there. They're They've got a lot 686 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 4: of talent. I don't think anybody would would would disagree 687 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 4: with that. 688 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: It's just. 689 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 4: So so far this year, they've been able to beat 690 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 4: the lesser teams, the teams that have winning records, they've 691 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 4: they've struggled with for the most part. 692 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 3: So they wanted to get yesterday. They didn't have edwards. 693 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 4: They played fairly well yesterday from what I understand. But 694 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 4: the difference with the guy that here's all I give 695 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 4: you right here. Here's what the Vincenzo said after the game. 696 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 4: This is a quote from from the Fish Rapid says, 697 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 4: when we play defense, when we lock in, we get 698 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 4: stops and we're out and running. 699 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 3: That's what kind of changed in the game. 700 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 4: Once we got to pushing the ball, we settled down 701 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 4: and handled things. In other words, playing defense, moving the ball, 702 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 4: playing with playing with a real purpose. In so far, 703 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 4: this team doesn't seem to. We've talked about the cross 704 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 4: ad nauseame. Here's one that says the tim Roles have 705 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 4: been the closest to winning championship since the twenty seventeen 706 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 4: Vikings who got blown out in the NFC Championship game. 707 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 3: They weren't that far out of that NFC Championship game. 708 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 4: I mean, if you look back at that, all they 709 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 4: really needed was a touchdown two point conversion and an 710 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 4: on side kick. Touchdown, two point conversion and an on 711 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 4: side kick. I'm a touchdown, two point conversion and an 712 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 4: on sidekick. But I know the Timberwolves have been the 713 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 4: closest I'm saying right now, we're talking about as. 714 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 3: We speak, which team do you believe. 715 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 4: As it obviously it's not It could still be the 716 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 4: Vikers if you if you believe that the Wild, that 717 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 4: this might improve the team, but they're not a real 718 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 4: threat to win a championship. And if you don't think 719 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 4: the Timberwolves are going to get back not only did 720 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 4: the Western Conference finals, but advanced to the finals, then 721 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 4: you could make that argument. 722 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 3: But right now, I wouldn't put the timbrelves. I have 723 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 3: to put the Wild squarely in that spot right now 724 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 3: is what I would do. So let's do this. Let's 725 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 3: take a break. Did you put together a five three four? 726 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: I did? 727 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 4: You got a five to three four? So we'll do 728 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 4: that on the other side of the break. Uh, Sam 729 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 4: will grill me. 730 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 3: On several questions. We'll do that. The other side can. 731 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: You play some use Yeah, can they pulled up right here? 732 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 3: Here we go, there you go. 733 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of nice little beat to it. 734 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:21,359 Speaker 1: I like that. 735 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 4: We'll take a break, five three four, coming on your 736 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 4: right on the other side of the break on the 737 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 4: common Man program on the Fan, The common Man. 738 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 3: At night when I'm having home I listened to Denver Station, 739 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 3: Chicago station.
