I 225 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: would go to several of your games and you know, 226 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: I saw you guys play Minnetonka a couple of times, 227 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 3: and you both had really good teams. I mean those 228 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: games were absolute spine tinglers. Now recently, that walk off 229 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 3: win you had against the Skippers. Did the walk off 230 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 3: win against Minnetaka show the girls your team really, you're 231 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 3: capable of anything any time, you know. 232 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean we got the one last year against them 233 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: when we weren't really expected to. And then this year, 234 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: you know, anytime we play those guys now, I mean 235 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: in that section, it just feels like it's going to 236 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: be a one goal game. I guess we were the 237 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: favorite this year, we were the one seed. But anybody 238 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: you would I asked, I mean that they're a great 239 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: team you're probably looking at when it's all said and done. 240 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: They're a little bit younger and we're older this year. 241 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: But when you're when it's all said and done, I mean, 242 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: there's probably gonna be twenty five to thirty Division one, 243 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: you know athletes in that game, and I mean the 244 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: atmosphere for girls hockey there.

After that game, 247 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: there was reporters like, my gosh, I've never seen anything 248 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: like this. You know, there's twenty five hundred people in 249 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: that place at the Ice Garden, and it was packed 250 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: and it was loud, and you know when you go 251 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: and it was just it was just great for the sport. 252 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: A shame that Toky isn't in the state tournament. I'll 253 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: say that because they had a They have a fantilist 254 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: team too. But it was great. And this team is 255 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: not our team. My team's not lacking confidence. I can 256 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: tell you that they're ready to go. They have a 257 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: goal in mind. You know, we took third last year. 258 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: They weren't happy with it.

Last one here in a whether it's 287 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: social media or stories written or whatever, you know, we 288 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: we will see people formulate opinions on on games involving 289 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: high school girls teams in big arenas and the big arenas, 290 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 3: let's just put it this way or not fall. So 291 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: it's what's the balance for a coach and a team 292 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: being in an arena that doesn't have a ton of 293 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: people in it as opposed to getting an opportunity to 294 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: play it like Grand Casino Arena or a place to 295 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: a place to wild play. 296 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: I tell you what, you know, the girls love it, 297 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: and I've definitely one hundred percent changed my opinion on 298 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: you know, over the years of taking it out of 299 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: that and taking it out of there or leaving it there. 300 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: I think you one hundred percent you got to leave 301 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: it there because the kids love it. It's just a 302 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: different atmosphere. Being down below is a different atmosphere. The 303 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: whole field around Saint Paul, and I was fortunate to 304 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: play in the state tournament there years ago a couple 305 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: of times. It's just everything about it. In Minnesota, it's 306 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, I hear a lot of people move this here, 307 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: move that there. No way, man, it's got to be 308 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: in Saint Paul. It's it's the mystique, it's everything. It's everything. 309 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Olivia played there. You know, she had a great tournament run. 310 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: I remember that back in whatever that was eighteen nineteen Olivia. 311 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, thank you guys, probably, and I think I 312 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: think you guys not have booth.

Whether it's the right way to do 322 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: it or the wrong way to do it, that's the 323 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: way we do it so well. 324 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,119 Speaker 3: I love you and your family, and I'm greatly appreciated 325 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: for the interview.

Second trip to state, I believe, and 334 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 3: they have a legitimate chance to win a state title. 335 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: All right, So we continue to learn new things about 336 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: our new friend, Olivia King week by week. 337 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,239 Speaker 6: All right. 338 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: So you played what was Excel Energy Center in the 339 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 3: state tournament for Brainer, right, Yes, So. 340 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: My junior year was the first time a BRAINER team 341 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 5: had ever been to the state tournament boys or girls. 342 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 5: And then we also went my senior year and we 343 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 5: did much better that year. We got second to We 344 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 5: dine in a few overtimes, and then the program, when 345 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 5: all of us kind of left, it still kept going, 346 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 5: and so they went to a state tournament after after 347 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 5: that year as well. I think it was one year 348 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 5: after that. Oh yeah, pretty cool, super cool experience. And 349 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 5: I totally agree with Randy that yes, it may not 350 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 5: be full, but being able to play in that rink 351 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 5: and be in Saint Paul and be around the same 352 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 5: atmosphere as the boys state tournament and at the same place, 353 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 5: I think that's really crucial and and I don't think 354 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 5: that they should ever move it because of that. You know, 355 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 5: it may not be full, but it's really really cool 356 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 5: to be able to play there, you may never get 357 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 5: that chance again. And for a lot of girls, that's 358 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 5: where their hockey career ends. You know, that might be 359 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 5: their last weekend of hockey. They may not go play 360 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 5: college hockey. So I do think it is really awesome. 361 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 5: And you know, from a girl that came from a 362 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 5: smaller town where going to the state tournament never had 363 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 5: happened before. Our whole community came out and came to 364 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 5: those games. So to us, it was filled with all 365 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 5: the people that really mattered. 366 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, what number did you wear? 367 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: One? 368 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 3: Okay, so when you were lined up on the on 369 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 3: the on the stripe, you know, with all the camera 370 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: facing everybody on the team, and you hear the public 371 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 3: address announcer say number one goaltender Olivia King, and you 372 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: skated up to the camera. What was that like? And 373 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: what did you say? 374 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 5: I was so nervous because you see all the guys 375 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 5: like the All Hockey Hair team, and they do funny stuff, 376 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 5: they say funny stuff. 377 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 4: But I was just so. 378 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 5: Nervous and so scared. I'm pretty sure I just went 379 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 5: up there and I smiled like I had a whole 380 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 5: plan to do something and say something. I'm sure like 381 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 5: love you, Dad, but I just couldn't do it. Too 382 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 5: nervous and too excited for the game. 383 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 3: It did your voice crack like Rachel Ramseys. 384 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 4: It's time to drop the pot. I love that you 385 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 4: just have on deck. 386 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 3: Oh yeah for sure. Yeah, that could be a nerve 387 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: wracking moment in closing. How much how much of a 388 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: team USA men's did you get to see yesterday? And hey, 389 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 3: you know what, I didn't spend my entire life following 390 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 3: or playing hockey or whatever, so like for me yesterday 391 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: with those three overtime games, that that was one of 392 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 3: the most compelling days of thrilling hockey I've ever seen 393 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 3: in my life, with how tight the checking was, the 394 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 3: playoff type atmosphere, high high end players going at each other. 395 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: What'd you think? 396 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean that was a crazy overtime goal 397 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 5: by Quinn Hughes for one, And I think that just 398 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 5: shows you how big of a stage you know, obviously 399 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 5: the Olympics is. I mean, there was an overtime you 400 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 5: know game today Sweden and Switzerland. They went one to 401 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 5: one into overtime and Sweden had what the last I looked, 402 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 5: Sweden had almost double the shots that Switzerland had and 403 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 5: Switzerland came out and won the bronze for the women. 404 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 3: So I just it was like USA, Sweden and Canada 405 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: and the checks. 406 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 2: So Sweden women took overtime ls on both men's and women's. 407 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and yesterday they both both the teams were out 408 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: shot at least two to one a majority of the game, 409 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 3: yet it was either a one goal game or tied. 410 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 3: And that just shows you the the the tightly contested 411 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 3: nature of hockey where it's so hard to score just 412 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 3: one goal. Puck luck's always in play. It's kind of 413 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: the beauty of the sport, right exactly. 414 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 5: I think, you know, just like you said before, anything 415 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 5: can happen in hockey, and that's what makes it so exciting. 416 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 5: But that goal by Quinn Hughes was amazing, and I'm 417 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 5: really really excited for wild playoffs. I had a great 418 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 5: time talking with Gorgie about you know, them coming back. 419 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 5: He's super pumped to get them back here and just 420 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 5: hopes that nobody gets hurt. 421 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, So so. 422 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited for you know, the men's game as well. 423 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 5: They play Slovakia on Friday at two ten, you know, 424 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 5: Central Standard time for the semi final and obviously the. 425 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 3: Game today, so and Canada gets Finland, then the winners 426 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 3: meet for the gold on Sunday. It's like how I 427 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 3: heard somebody yesterday say that they, you know, even though 428 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 3: it would make it supposedly easier for the USA to 429 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 3: win a gold if Chechia had beaten Canada. But then 430 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: my man was like, well, no, I want to see 431 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 3: best versus best, So I don't know about that. I mean, 432 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 3: it's like Chechia might have been easier to beat than Canada. 433 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 3: If you're pulling for the Red, White and Blue, if 434 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: you're pulling for the United States of America, don't you 435 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: kind of want the easiest path you can get. 436 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 4: I feel like it just depends maybe how much of 437 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 4: like a hockey fan. 438 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, like if you're more rooting for I want to 439 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 5: see really really good hockey, then you want to see 440 00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 5: Canada and US. 441 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: But if you just start. 442 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 5: Routing Red, White and Blue all the way, then maybe 443 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 5: you'd prefer the easier path. 444 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. 445 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 4: The quote unquote easier No, I. 446 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: Understand because it's so tightly contested. But you know, like 447 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 3: Zabanajad for the Rangers, I know who he is, you know, 448 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 3: I followed him from Afar, but he scored the equalizer 449 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: yesterday off a pass from Lucas Raymond. That was unbelievable. 450 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 3: I know who Lucas Raymond is. I know he plays 451 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 3: for the Red Wings. I know he plays with Dylan Larkin. 452 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: I think it's more insider who's a blue liner high 453 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: ender in the Olympics. But when you're watching these under 454 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: the radar people in a league where you hear McKinnon, 455 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 3: this McDavid, that Celebrini, this Capri saw that some names 456 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 3: get lost in the shuffle. Lucas Raymonds one of them. 457 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 3: You know, he's spectacular, He's just a phenomenal young hockey player. 458 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 3: The pass to Zabanda Jad was amazing. But learning so 459 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: many new things about so many under the radar type play. 460 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 3: Then you see ericson Eck and Faber nearly mix it 461 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 3: up yesterday, Baldy to Hughes for the game winner. Earlier, 462 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 3: Jack Hughes firing on Mark Strom, his teammate, to try 463 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 3: to bounce him out. That just's once every four years, 464 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: but it's high and you know, I know. 465 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 5: It makes you wonder when they get back in the 466 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 5: locker room, if they ever talk about it, or they 467 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 5: ever say anything. And I know from experience with some 468 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 5: of my old teammates, you know the women that they 469 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 5: just tease each other about it and they go on 470 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 5: about their day and they don't think much of it 471 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 5: other than that. Yeah, but to actually watch it in action, 472 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 5: you're like, how are they cool with this? 473 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 4: That doesn't really make sense? And then you know, to 474 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 4: think that. 475 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 5: The wild they're going to come back next next week 476 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 5: at Colorado exactly and have huge games to kick it 477 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 5: off right away. You know, the team camaraderie's got to 478 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 5: just go back to what it was, which it well, 479 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 5: it's just funny to think about that. 480 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: So all right, you're gonna call Duluth and Golden Gophers 481 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 3: women's hockey this weekend, which means you are on the 482 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: microphone analyzing Frosty's team.

WHOA 667 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: all right? 668 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: Right on? 669 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 3: Man was the huge game winner a set play which 670 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: obviously required you guys winning the face off. 671 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 6: No, it was not a set play. It was just 672 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 6: you know, him him doing this thing. I think, you know, 673 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 6: it was a really good plan. I think Bolts had 674 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 6: the puppet you know, up top at the offensive blue line, 675 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 6: and then he passed it to Hughesy and dove through 676 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 6: which I think opened up some space for Husey and 677 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 6: then he did his thing, you know, he got a 678 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 6: little bit of space on on Landeskag and then he 679 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,439 Speaker 6: just killed a big time shot at. 680 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: A big time moment. 681 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 6: That's just a big a big time play by a big. 682 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: Time player, big time. And and you know, I don't 683 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 3: know if you guys are practicing or whatever is going 684 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 3: on today, but do you happen to be taking in 685 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 3: the USA Women's Quest for a Gold coming up here soon? 686 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's going on soon. I'm actually not at 687 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 6: the game, but I will be watching it here shortly. 688 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 689 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 3: That's phenomenal. 690 00:34:59,120 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: All right. 691 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 3: Lastly, what are some quick twitch keys to beating Slovakia 692 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 3: and advancing to the gold medal game Sunday. 693 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 6: Well, I think number one is I think we have 694 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 6: to be able to play on top of them. And 695 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 6: what I mean by that is they're going to be 696 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 6: a very good defensive team, very stingy. I think we 697 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 6: need to be able to pressure them, like with it's 698 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 6: five man units, strong four check. I think from an 699 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 6: offensive perspective, we need to be willing to shoot pucks 700 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 6: and play on the inside. If we want to just 701 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 6: kind of play a skilled game, they're just going to 702 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 6: take away the inside of the ice and not give 703 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 6: us easy looks. So we need to be able to 704 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 6: I think from an offensive perspective, we need to be 705 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 6: penetrating on the inside shots at the goalie, inside ice, 706 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 6: heavy four check. We've got to be able to put 707 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 6: those guys under duress. 708 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 3: You're fantastic.

He's like, well, yeah, 738 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 3: I want the USA to win, but I want best 739 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 3: on best and I'm way, I can see that. Well, 740 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 3: it's just a team. 741 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 2: You know, last time they win a gold at the Olympics, 742 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 2: it's it's the miracle squad, right, So what for that's 743 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 2: four and a half decades and it's okay, you finally 744 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 2: you reach the mountaintop. Everyone's going to be pumped. But 745 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 2: if you put five in on Andre Palott nietzschez, it's like, okay, 746 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 2: and it's a little bit petty, but you know, the 747 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 2: Canadians a little far north of it's gonna be like, yeah, 748 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 2: that's cute, guys. Okay, we had a tough game, said 749 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: the kid got hurt. They got went in on in overtime. Yeah, 750 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 2: you didn't go best on best. I want Sunday morning. 751 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 2: If it's going to be Kegs and a at seven 752 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 2: am on Sunday and I gotta wake up. I want 753 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: to see the United States in Canada. And so if 754 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 2: they get the chance to hoist that. 755 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 3: Gold, I get it. 756 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 2: There are no excuses. You went up against McKinnon and 757 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: mcar and everybody. 758 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 3: Yep. But yesterday you went up against Landeskog and Eric 759 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 3: Zinek and Sabana Jad and Raymond and Mark Stroum, and 760 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 3: so I mean that that had some best on best 761 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 3: to it. 762 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, the defending gold winners Finland, I mean, 763 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: this isn't a push. They got Miko Ranton in they 764 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 2: got Sebastian Ajo, oh hala and Granlin in the mix. 765 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, Halla, Halla, Halla. You played at Shattuck. No, the 766 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 3: all these teams are just Gophers, for sure. 767 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 2: The the all these teams are just a freaking all 768 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 2: star team. It's that's that's the amazing part about it. 769 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,959 Speaker 2: But the the imagery, especially after the four Nations face 770 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 2: off last year, how that thing went. If you remember 771 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 2: just the vibe around all of the four nations, uh, 772 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 2: the ability to take those guys on and handle it 773 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 2: in Milan on Sunday, and that's just that feels like 774 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 2: best on best would be the right answer. 775 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand that. However, I also realized it is 776 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:16,439 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. So therefore, having you know in first 777 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 3: and foremost in your minds what it was, and then 778 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 3: still remembering it a day later, or a week later 779 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 3: or a month later, you just move on to a 780 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 3: new dunk. So that's a good point. 781 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: You know. 782 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is twenty years from now, you're just 783 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 2: gonna remember they won gold. Maybe you won't care that 784 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 2: it was specifically against Canada, all right, Okay? 785 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 3: And Slovakia I mean, reading Russo Radio's work at the 786 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 3: Athletic this morning and some last night, I mean Slovakia 787 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 3: has legitimate Cinderella story to it. Yeah, it's not. I mean, 788 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 3: you got when we looked at those odds into the 789 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 3: men's portion of the equation. Canada was an even money favorite. 790 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 3: USA was just under two to one is the second choice. 791 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 3: Sweden was six and a half to one as the third. 792 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 3: I got no idea where Slovakia was, I mean, but 793 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 3: they were deep. They were kind of deep in the equation. 794 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 3: And then when you read up on this goaltender for 795 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 3: them who plays with the Iowa Wild and like either 796 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 3: this year or last year was fourteen fourteen and fourteen 797 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 3: calls against average is terrible, Russo writes, Iowa Wild's the 798 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 3: worst AHL team of all of them. This guy's the goalie. 799 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 3: And then you watch his saves and milan and how 800 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 3: this guy has caught fire. Like I said with somebody 801 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 3: earlier today, if this is a Cinderella story, that Wild 802 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 3: minor league goaltender is the one waving the magic. 803 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 2: Wand yeah, and he would, I mean, if if he 804 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 2: finds a way to stand on his head tomorrow afternoon. Incredible. 805 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 2: And that's why I mean Olympics. Every four years we 806 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 2: soak into at NBA's on a break. We don't get 807 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 2: to see the Wild until next Thursday at Mile High 808 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 2: Paul Arena. Though, like is there from an athletic standpoint, though, 809 00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: wearing the sweaters Hallava. We're gonna get that pronunciation right eventually. 810 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 2: I think he nailed it.
