Speaker 1: Michael Russo of the Athletic and Theathletic dot Com Russo Radio,

Speaker 1: Thanks for helping. Are you enjoying Milan?

15
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: I am enjoying Milana weather. It's been incredible.

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 5: City has been incredible.

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: Arena that was so we were also worried about that

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: would even be able to stand up and not crumble

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: while we're in here.

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 5: It's incredible.

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 4: So it's been a blast so far. And you mentioned

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: Parker Fox. I've gotten a covered the US women so

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: far and they are just running through this tournament as

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: dominants can be.

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, Team USA, the women's game versus Canada five zip

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: for the Red, White and Blue sure Domination swept Canada

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: and the rivalry series too. Russo Radio covered that from

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: like Edmonton and Buffalo and other places are the United

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: States of America and the women's hockey team.

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Is this an unstoppable machine?

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: I think so, you know, I asked John Rableski that

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 4: after the game last night. I basically said that, you know,

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 4: do you feel like give a bye right now into

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: in the gold batle round, which you know, of course

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: he was not going to buy into and is certainly

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 4: going to try to keep his women from being feeling

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: as overconfident as maybe I am. But I don't see

38
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: how they lose, you know, like to me, And this

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: is what I wrote coming into this tournament. As you know,

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: the United States is so deep that they just like

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: you look at Canna right now, they're without Murray Felipule

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: and they have no shot just with one player out

43
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: of the lineup right where. I don't know if you

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 4: can name a player that would be out of the

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: United States lineup that would actually absolutely make them crumble.

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: They just they're getting goals up and down their lineup

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: from from everything from their thirteenth forward to their seventh

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: defenseman and they just are running through Canada didn't even

49
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: look like they belonged on the same ice last night.

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: And this has been five straight blowouts that I've covered

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 4: of the United States beating them. So I really think

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: something completely out of the norm would have to happen

53
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: for the United States not to win the gold medal

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: in this But look, I mean, you know, in a

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 4: sport where one bad goal tending outing or some bad

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: penalties or you know, an incredible per Florance Bipool and

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 4: if she comes back from injury, obviously that.

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 6: Could change things.

59
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: But let's put it this way.

60
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 4: Nobody's nobody is going to be able to beat Canada

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: and the US.

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 5: And so though without a doubt, wind up in the

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: gold medal.

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Game and and with Golden Gopher Abby Murphy and the

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: no look backhand past to Bilka for the two zero league,

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: I meant, now we're out here just clowning. I mean

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: that that you know, Harvey started, the blue liner started it,

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: and the no look past a Bilka.

69
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean, as we're just showing off now, right.

70
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I you know, from everything I understand

71
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: Caroline Harvey and Abbey Murphy are gonna be one two

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 4: in the next p w h L draft, and the

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: two of them were just unbelievable. The last couple of games, Abby,

74
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: to your point, it was like the perfect Abby Murphy game.

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: You know, she's a bit of the shift disturber and

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: uh and an antagonist on the ice, plays a lot

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: like Brad mar shan and or the Chucks, and it

78
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: was like the perfect game. She has four fifths, three

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: is fifth, but she draws four penalties and guests under

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: the skin of the opponent. I know that. Cassidy Campbell

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: on the on the CBC broadcast last night, it was

82
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: bemoaning the fact that that she thinks that that Abby,

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: you know, dies on the ice or goes down easily.

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: I know the Canada that the game we're accusing her

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: of that you know taller hes Basin said that these

86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: are harder and penalties and that she is not diving,

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 4: but she understands that's what they're They're being that better

88
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: her linemates being accused of. But Abby is, as we

89
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: saw with that incredible assist earlier this season for against

90
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: Minnesota statee she is just a sensational hockey player and

91
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: as Troy Ryan and the Canon coach said last night

92
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: there's not many players around in hockey that could have,

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: uh the rat mentality that she might have on the ice,

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 4: but yet back it up with the skill and if

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: you can't beat it, you better not engage in it.

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: And he basically said after the game that the Canadian

97
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 4: women have no ability to play that type of style,

98
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: so you better turn the other way or she's going

99
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: to be very effective.

100
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 5: And so far that's what Abby Murphy has looked like

101
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: in this tournament.

102
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Mister Russo Radio, So, who is Caroline Harvey and is

103
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: she one of the if not the best defensemen in

104
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: the world. I mean that domination yesterday was second to none.

105
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, without a doubt. You know, she's almost considered a

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: pet project of Ellen Hughes, who's you know, Jack and

107
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: Quinn and Luke's mom and works for US Women, a

108
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: huge mentor of Caroline Harvey. Caroline has gone over to

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: ann Arbor where they lived in the off season to

110
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 4: train with them as well. And you know, she's a

111
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: star at the University of Wisconsin. But she's not just

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 4: a young kid. She's twenty three years old. This is

113
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: her second Olympics for the last Olympics, she didn't get

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: a lot of playing time. Now she's turned into one

115
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 4: of the biggest stars around and they call her They

116
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: call her the fourth Hughes sibling, and one reason is

117
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 4: because she plays a style that is extremely like Quinn

118
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 4: and Luke from the back end. Has the ability to

119
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: dance the blue line, has the ability to jump up

120
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: in the play, has the ability to just do all

121
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: sorts of things with the puck that other defenders can

122
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: only dream of. And so far, in the last two

123
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 4: games she's coming off, she've had in twenty four hours

124
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: to three point games and really could have had many,

125
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 4: many more points. She is a high event player that

126
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: doesn't make a ton of mistakes, and so far she's

127
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: been absolutely awesome.

128
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: Is she considered an offensive defenseman as this team goes.

129
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely.

130
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: But I remember last night there was one play where

131
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: it was a two on one and I turned to

132
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 4: my editor who was staying my right and I could

133
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: watch her break this up right now, and she did so.

134
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: She also has the ability against really good Canadian players

135
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: to play on the defensive side of the puck, not

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: unlike Quinn, So she is without a doubt an incredibly

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: good offensive defenseman. As had mentioned, Mike go number one

138
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: of the PWHL drafts. But she's got the ability to

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: play both ends the ice.

140
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Michael Canada's captain, as you mentioned, Marie Felippe pulamb she

141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: missed yesterday's game. Canada had just four shots in the

142
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: first period. Uh, what do you feel abouts mostly due

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: to the captain not playing?

144
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: No, I think I mean, look, I covered those four

145
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: rivalry series games that she was in, and and and

146
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: the United States had its way with with Canada and those.

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 7: Games as well.

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: So if if Canada was using that as an excuse yesterday,

149
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: I think it's not a valid excuse.

150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 6: I just think the United States is that good.

151
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: They're young, they're fast, they're big, and they're you know,

152
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: that's basically a lot of things that that Canada is not.

153
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: They're old and slower, and they might have more experience.

154
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: But if you actually look at how deep the United

155
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: States women are, they've got a ton of experience, you know,

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: led by Hillary Knight, who's been in five Olympics, Ken

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: mccoin and Megan Keller. I mean, there's just a lot

158
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: of really, really good UH players in the United States.

159
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: And so I just think that, you know, this team's

160
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: a wag. They've scored their four opponents in this tournament

161
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: twenty to one. They're you know, three shutouts in there

162
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: are four games. And you know, look, I get and

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: I've covered a lot of men's tournaments where the United

164
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: States always seems to beat Canada and the preliminaries and

165
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: the lose and when it matters. We've seen that in

166
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 4: the Four Nations. We saw that in the twenty ten Olympics.

167
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: We've seen that many many times with the men. But

168
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: I just I can't even envision what would have to

169
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: happen to the United States not to be wearing.

170
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 5: Gold at the end of this tournament.

171
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: But and still with the United States and Canada, I mean,

172
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: these guys absolutely should meet for the gold, right or

173
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: is there somebody out there with a puncher's chance?

174
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 4: I cannot even imagine that. I have never been so

175
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: underwhelmed by watching other teams play than in this tournament.

176
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: I mean, there's just two powers and then a bunch

177
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: of has been you know, I've covered every women's game

178
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: that I've covered so far that.

179
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: Wasn't Canada US.

180
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: The shot differential was like by thirty. You know, I

181
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: covered a Switzerland Canada game the other day where Canada

182
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 4: out shot them fifty five to six. Let's put it

183
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 4: this way, in the third period when Switzerland got their

184
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: fourth shot, I absolutely like hit the table when I

185
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: realized that all of my colleagues were out of dinner

186
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: while I was at this game. So I just cannot

187
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: imagine that somehow a Finland or in Italy, or you know,

188
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 4: a Sweden or Switzerland is going to somehow be able

189
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: in this next round in the metal rounds to knock

190
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: off Canada or US. So I think it's just as

191
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: I wrote to my story, They've got I think both

192
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: these nations have a bye to the to the to

193
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 4: the gold medal game, and it's probably it's a big

194
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: reason why tomorrow night there's no way that they're going

195
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 4: to risk pool in against Finland because that should be

196
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: an easy win, and most likely they won't risk pool

197
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: in in the quarterfinals as well. I think that the

198
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: goal is to try to get ready for the semi final.

199
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: And lastly, i'm the ladies, what's a dumb question? I

200
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: apologize for it. I could find it online, but but

201
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear your your your answer with the ladies,

202
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: when is checking permitted and does does p w h

203
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: L experience give some of those ladies an advantage of

204
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: any sort?

205
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: You know, first of all, I think it's a million

206
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 4: dollar question. I mean even the women talk about like

207
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: they don't even know.

208
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 5: You know, pretty much you can't.

209
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: I mean, the one thing I will say is watching

210
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: a lot of the Rivalry series games and these games,

211
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 4: I mean you are allowed to check. The question is

212
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: you know, kind of be in a legal check And essentially,

213
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: if you run into somebody on a on a hard

214
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: hit almost like a charge, you're gonna get called. If

215
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: you slam them against the wall, you're gonna get called.

216
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: But you are a lot of hit players and things

217
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: like that. So a lot of a lot of the women.

218
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: I mean, what's cool about this this tournament is with both.

219
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: KENA and the US is you have kind of a

220
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 5: mix of collegiate.

221
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: Players, amateur players, and professional players.

222
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 6: And the same thing with reofficiating.

223
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's even even though there's PWHL refs

224
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: here that are from the United States and Canada. Even

225
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: some of the European referees call games in the PWHL.

226
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: So it's more of the standard of THEPWHL here in

227
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: the European game or in the international type of game

228
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: where they're calling penalties and so. But I will say,

229
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the one thing that I think frustrates coaches,

230
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 4: players alike, is that you need to try to figure

231
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 4: out early in every single game, both at the p

232
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 4: WHL level and then here at international what is the

233
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: standard that's going to be called by the referees, and

234
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: then try to adapt your type of game throughout the

235
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: contests to make sure that you're not getting called for

236
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: illegal hits. But you're right, I mean there's some Taylor

237
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: Heisei was called for an illegal hit last night that

238
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, are you kidding me? Like, I just I've

239
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: seen that same hit like four different times in the

240
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: last week. So, you know, I think it's it can

241
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: become frustrating at times.

242
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 5: For some of the athletes.

243
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: The men, the USA men get center stage starting tomorrow

244
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: around two ten Quarnfields Latvia. A lot the five NHL

245
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: players the USA should motor passed Latvia, right, Yeah, they should.

246
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: But I will say the men's are that's a lot more.

247
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 4: It's a lot closer, you know, I've covered enough international

248
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 4: hockey my day and watched.

249
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 6: Other international hockey my day to know that there are.

250
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 5: Definitely upsets, and and that's where you know, a.

251
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: Bad goaltending performance or or a red hot player can

252
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,359
Speaker 4: change things. So I don't think the United.

253
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 5: States or or any of these lesser teams that.

254
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: When you're going up against the lesser team, whether you're

255
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: a powerhouse like Sweden or Finland or Canada, if you're

256
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: going up against anything from Latvia to Italy to France

257
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: to to you know, Switzerland and Germany and Chechia and

258
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: Slaki and these countries that that really do have really

259
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 4: good NHL players, you can't take it for granted. So

260
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: I do think that, Look, you know, the United States

261
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: are going to practice here at about thirty five minutes

262
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: on the practice rink here at the main rink that

263
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: we're at, and they've got to make sure that they're

264
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 4: ready to play and not taking anybody lately.

265
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty sweet, are okay? So you laid it out nicely,

266
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: I want to get into the odds and ends of

267
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: it quickly. So the USA and Canada seemed to be

268
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: absolutely the best two teams on the men's side, at

269
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: least from a a wagering standpoint, like Canada's favored to

270
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: win the gold at plus one fifteen, then the USA

271
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: at plus one seventy five. Then you go all the

272
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: way to six and a half to one for Sweden

273
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: as the third choice. So I mean it odds wise

274
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: USA and Canada should be playing for that gold, right.

275
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, But again, I mean I think anything can happen.

276
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 7: You know.

277
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 4: Look, there's no guarantee the US and Canada play, you know,

278
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 4: because they're not in the same groups for a rare

279
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: side though you know, we're all expecting that, but who

280
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: knows if it actually happens. And there's a lot of teams,

281
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 4: Like I was talking to Crow Capriesa before I left town,

282
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: and he's convinced that Chechi is going to be one

283
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: of the biggest wild cards in this tournament. I talked

284
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 4: to Nico Sturm, who plays for Germany. He says, look

285
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: out for Switzerland. I mean, there's there's a lot of

286
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: a lot of countries here. When you have teams that

287
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 4: have guys like Leon Dreizidel and you know Ken Fialla

288
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: and and you know, all these countries that have different

289
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: types of superstars on the NHL. I mean, you know,

290
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 4: look at David Pasternak and you know with che So

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: I just think that it's going to be a tournament

292
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: where I think anything can happen. Is not at all

293
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: a guarantee that the US and Canada playing the Golden

294
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: Metal game.

295
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Right, Hey, Michael has a Michael has a bunch of

296
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: really really good stories at the Athletic and the Athletic

297
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: dot Com. But one I was texting with him about yesterday,

298
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: really enjoyed wild at the Olympics, a punishable face, hanging

299
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: with Snoop Dog and a chance at a at a

300
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: pile of metals. For those who missed that one co

301
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: written by you and Joe, what would you like about it?

302
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that was a fun one.

303
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 7: You know.

304
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: I let off with this anecdote of me being in

305
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: the big zone and the one cool thing about being

306
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 4: the mix zone here you can't there are apps on

307
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: your phone that you could put on and to translate

308
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: what things are said. But the cool thing is that

309
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: they they allow, you know, the native reporters to talk to.

310
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: Their players and then they always do an English side after.

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 4: So I was sitting at the front of the mix

312
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: zone listening to Philip Gustison talked to one of the

313
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 4: Swedish reporters, but I started his zone off, and I

314
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: was like looking the other way, and then all of

315
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: a sudden, I hear the Swedish reporter in a s

316
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: few of Swedish words go punchable faith, and I just

317
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: turned like, like almost got whiplash when I turned back

318
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: at Gustuson, and Gustus been thought and just started hysterically

319
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: laughing because he realized right away that I knew the

320
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: reporter was asking about Eric and that.

321
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: It was pretty cool.

322
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: The US players. I was texting with Brock Favor and

323
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: Quinn Houston these guys about this yesterday. But the US

324
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: guys were in the Olympic Village and Snoop Doggs showed

325
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: up yesterday and took a bunch of pictures with the

326
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: Jake Ottingers and Zach Rerensky's and all the you know,

327
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: the Ka Chuck brothers and Fabes and Boldie and Quinn

328
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: were all part of it as well. So they got

329
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: to meet Snoop yesterday, and I know Snoop was apparently

330
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 4: going to go to the US Winter House, which by

331
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: the way, sponsored by Starbucks. So I took a tour

332
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: of it the other day just to get my pretty Starbucks.

333
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: So that was cool, and you know, and.

334
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: Then tonight Sweden opens up against Italy, the host nation here,

335
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: and so I'll get to watch four Minnesota wild players

336
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: play at nine to ten pm local time here, So

337
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to that.

338
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: Coaches closing practices at the Olympics to the media, it,

339
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, until Sweden and Canada did it recently, I don't.

340
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't think coaches have closed practices for nearly thirty years.

341
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 4: What yeah, I've never seen it, not with the NHL players,

342
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: and I've never heard of the closed practices. It felt

343
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 4: like Canada women started and then all of a sudden,

344
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 4: Canada and Sweden men and even Denmark men did it

345
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: the other day, like who cares about like, you know,

346
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: trying to get a bunch of intel on Denmark. So

347
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: I all of a sudden, they announced while Canada is

348
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: closing practice, that the United States is closing practice. And

349
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: I texted, I texted somebody with the USA Hockey and like,

350
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: fact is this you guys never you guys made fun

351
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: of Canada when they were doing this, and it was

352
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 4: news to this person and then suddenly five minutes later

353
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: they reopened practice. So I like to say that I

354
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 4: took one to the team there with all the reporters

355
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 4: and reopened the United States.

356
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: Practice the other day. But yeah, it's it's ridiculous.

357
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 6: I mean, they don't want and I get it.

358
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, like, you know, Canada is keeping

359
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 4: stuff close to the best, and suddenly you got, you know,

360
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 4: shlubs like me tweeting to essentially Canada what the US

361
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 4: lines are the other day. So I get it, but

362
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: it's you know, I just think that, Look, it's hockey.

363
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: It's amateur hour at times. If you're not, if you're not,

364
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 4: if you're sitting there worried so much about the other

365
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: nations watching or getting some intel on your practices, and

366
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 4: so you know, practices are now open.

367
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: Well, all the players are so high end.

368
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: When when I read that at the Athletic the first

369
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: thing I thought of was not they I didn't think

370
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: they were hiding scheme or strategy.

371
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: I didn't think they were hiding lines.

372
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: I and maybe there are some players nicked up, you know,

373
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: maybe maybe there's some players that have some Boston bright.

374
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll tell you one thing, watching US practice right now.

375
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: I can tell you take a playing femally can term

376
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: last right now. So I think there are guys uh uh,

377
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 4: you know, uh nicked up and and that that could

378
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 4: be definitely part of it.

379
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 5: And so you know, it's not a big deal.

380
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: You know, we're still able to get our stuff done.

381
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: I'm actually I was just upstairs in the press box

382
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: writing a really cool story for Friday and on the

383
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: time that Quinn Hughes and Brady Kachuk billeted with h

384
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 4: with Keith Kachuck for two years as teenagers. And some

385
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: of the stories in this story are hilarious. So you know,

386
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm still getting my access that I need to be

387
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: able to write stories, and so are all the other

388
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: reporters here.

389
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: This is Russo Radio from Milan.

390
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 8: Hey, you mentioned tweeting or posting lines to to Canada

391
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 8: when you were when you were putting out the the

392
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 8: US line set up. With that said, when I'm looking

393
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 8: at it from a couple of days ago, mister Russo

394
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 8: is a wild fan. I'm like, hold on here, why

395
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 8: are Hughes in Faber on separate pairings for the Blue Liners?

396
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: What's up with that? Mister Oez.

397
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I mean, we'll see if that's continued the

398
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: fact today here when the when we get on the ice,

399
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: they were off yesterday. But but I think a lot

400
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: of it has to do with the fact that Slaven

401
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: and Favor were so good at the Cornations, and you know, uh,

402
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 4: I know there's some people that think that that Slavor

403
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: Slaven carried Favor. It could be further from the truth.

404
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 4: And Quinn and mckable. You know, the one thing I'm

405
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 4: I'm writing the story later in this tournament about how

406
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: you know, uh, Charlie McAvoy and Brock Favor almost look alike,

407
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 4: not just the way that they play, but actually look

408
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 4: And so I mean I think that that Mike Sullivan

409
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: probably looks as Charlie McAvoy as being a hybrid of

410
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: of Rock Favor, and that they're going to have the

411
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: same type of chemistry, both Quinn and and Favor and

412
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 4: then go back to what they know and a shutdown

413
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: pair and Slavin and Favor. And the one thing about

414
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: Favor too and Slaven is that they're going to kill

415
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: penalties most likely together. So now it just keeps things

416
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: a little more organized where if you have them both

417
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 4: out there on the kill now they don't have to

418
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 4: sit there and try to, you know, get their their

419
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 4: defense pairings back organized to kill is over. So I

420
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: think that's probably the biggest reason when you.

421
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 8: When you look at at how how things are shaking

422
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 8: up here, just pragmatically as a guy that knows the game,

423
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 8: loves the game, what's your favorite line in that group,

424
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 8: whether it's the Kachuk's up top, you got Genseel and

425
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 8: Boldie with with with Matthews, like what, what is there

426
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 8: a line where you're like, wow, I mean, this thing

427
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 8: is a freaking bazooka of talent and it's going to

428
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 8: be high floor and over there.

429
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 4: I think they're second and third lines. I think Austin

430
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: Matthews centering that Boldie and Jake Kensel is going to

431
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: be awesome. I mean, we know how good Jake was

432
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: in the in the Four Nations tournament, and we know what.

433
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: Boldie has done this season for Minnesota Wild.

434
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 4: And then if they can get Austin going, who has

435
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 4: been on fire lately, I think that has been making

436
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 4: some great line And I think all Wild fans know

437
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: my absolute affinity for Dylan Larkin and Dylan's playing with

438
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 4: Kyle Connor and Kate Thompson, I think that has making

439
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: the being an extraordinary line as well. So I just

440
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: think that the US has has a really good team

441
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: and now it's just a matter of putting it together

442
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 4: on the ice and go up against the Canada wagon

443
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: where you know, we've gotten a look at their lines

444
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: and you know they've got Celebrini playing with Nick David

445
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 4: and Tom Wilson. They got McDavid, McKinnon and.

446
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 5: Sidney Crosby on three separate lines.

447
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 4: I mean that's talk about depth.

448
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 6: So that Canada team is going to be really, really.

449
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 5: Hard to be in this tournament.

450
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of lines, how do generally speaking, because all coaches

451
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: are different for sure, but how do coaches determine lines

452
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: and how to mix and match players.

453
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: I think it's just what they feel are chemistry or

454
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: complimentary attributes. So you know, if he takes like the

455
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 4: Austin Matthews line right right away, with the Jake Kensel

456
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 4: and and a Matt Boldie, you know they're they You

457
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: look at the compliments.

458
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 7: Of each guy.

459
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: You got a guy with Austin Matthews that's got an

460
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: incredible shot. You got Matt Boldie who's as good a

461
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: playmaker as he is a shooter. And you got Gentil,

462
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 4: who's you know, for an undersized guy. He is as

463
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 4: good as it gets when it comes to going to

464
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 4: the hard areas of the ice and scoring goals. So

465
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: I think, you know, there's a good example of the

466
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: line that they be able to compliment each other. So

467
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 4: I think they just look at a sort of trying

468
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 4: to figure out. You know, if you look at the

469
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 4: just the way the Minnesota Wild do it right, they

470
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: feel like zu Carello and cabrisof you have a playmaker

471
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: right to you know, a goal scorer in Carilla, And

472
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: so I just think that, you know, sometimes things have

473
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 4: to be mixed up and and a lot of times

474
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 4: when we tweet out lines, you know, fans get off

475
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: on arms, but you got to remember it's early in

476
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: the tournament. It's just like when we, you know, tweet

477
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 4: out the day one training camp lines and.

478
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 5: People go crazy.

479
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 4: You know, remember this year when Danela you're off started

480
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 4: on the fifth line and Wild fans you know, didn't

481
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: like that, but you know, just give it time and

482
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: usually things change pretty quickly, especially in a short tournament.

483
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 4: We saw last year Kyle Connor and the four Nations

484
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 4: started on the top line while up and scratched in

485
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 4: the final.

486
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 5: So it just that's the way it works.

487
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: See seems with the goaltenders for USA and Canada, uh

488
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: a former wild member and I'm Stanley Cup winner Darcy

489
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: Kemper for Canada and and Jeremy Swayman for the USA,

490
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: they maybe they don't see the ice, but like, who

491
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: has better goaltending and why Hellabuck Ottinger and Swayman for

492
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: the USA or Bennington, Logan Thompson and Darcy.

493
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the United States.

494
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 4: But you know that should almost be a trickier thing

495
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 4: because now you've got to make the right call. Where Canada,

496
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty easy. They'll probably start with Nington

497
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 4: because you know, give him the benefit the doubt because

498
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: even though he's having an absolutely ghastly season for the

499
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 4: Saint Louis Blues has been statistically and analytically the worst

500
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 4: goaltender in the National Hockey League, he did win the

501
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 4: Four Nations last year. So my guess is that tomorrow

502
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 4: night we're going to see him start as their number one.

503
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 4: But eventually I think it's going to evolve into Logan Thompson,

504
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: who's been one of the best goaltenders in the.

505
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: National Hockey League this year.

506
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 4: From the United States standpoint, it's complicated because Ottener and

507
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 4: Hellibuck actually have not performed as well.

508
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 5: This season as Jeremy Swayman.

509
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 4: But Swaymen didn't even get a second of ice time.

510
00:23:58,840 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 5: In the Four Nations.

511
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 4: You know, Connor Hallibut played well in the Four Nations.

512
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 4: He is the reigning MVP of the NHL. So my

513
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 4: guess is that they'll start with him tomorrow night, but

514
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: I don't think it will take much too eventually, if

515
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: he struggles at all, go into an.

516
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 5: Odd in your word, Jeremy Swayman.

517
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: So I think that if you look overall at the

518
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: body of work, the USA has the best goaltending in

519
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 4: the tournament.

520
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 6: But again, you got to make the right call, and

521
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 6: in a.

522
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: Short tournament, if you make a mistake or a goaltender

523
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: just doesn't perform, you could be in trouble really quickly.

524
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: Time for two more, Michael.

525
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 8: This this is a business trip for Team USA. They

526
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 8: want to go and get the gold. But you know,

527
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 8: Bill garn mister Hines over there, maybe this is a

528
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 8: nice little scouting opportunity. With the trade deadline over the horizon,

529
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 8: as well, Like you know, obviously focused on what's in

530
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 8: front of them, But maybe Billy G's doing a little

531
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 8: wild related business while he's there too, What do you think.

532
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'll give you a quick anecdote. The first

533
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: night that we were all that I first night that

534
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: Billy was in town, I was I got here earlier

535
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 4: than them. The team Switzerland got, the women's team got

536
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: some players with norovirus, and Finland had a neurovirus outbreak.

537
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: So I sent Billy Garan a text message just asking me, hey,

538
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: with with norovirus going on in the village, is there

539
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: a chance that can pull your guys out and put

540
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: them in a hotel? At the same time, I sent

541
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: Doug Armstrong the same Lewis Blues GM, the same exact text.

542
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 4: Billy replies with a picture of Doug Armstrong and Doug

543
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 4: Armstrong replies with a picture of Bill Garrant. So I

544
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 4: sent them each text while they were together. So right

545
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 4: away I'm mortified that.

546
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 5: They knew that I sent them the exact thing text

547
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 5: the same time.

548
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 4: But then I tried to soopping it up by point

549
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 4: asking both of them, have you guys.

550
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 5: Traded Robert Thomas to Minnesota. Yet, So there's a good example.

551
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 4: There are ten NHL gms here between Canada and the US.

552
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: These gms really have nothing to do while they're here

553
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 4: other than be here, so you might as well talk shop.

554
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 6: And so you know, Chris Drury is on.

555
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 4: The United Day's staff, right, so you think that at

556
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: some point Bill Garrein's not going to talk to Chris

557
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: Durry about Vinston Trocheck. Vincent Trocheck, who, by the way,

558
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 4: in the team picture the other day when the Wild

559
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: we're doing their team picture, all of a sudden, jokingly

560
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: in front of everybody, sarcastically try to skate over to

561
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: the Wild picture to get in it because he so

562
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 4: believes that there's a chance that he's traded in Minnesota.

563
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 5: So that created some comic relief as well.

564
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: So there's no doubt that when the trade freeze ends

565
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 4: on February twenty second, around midnight, that there's going to

566
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 4: be a flurry of trades, probably right away in the

567
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 4: NHL with the trade deadline right around the corner. And

568
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: it wouldn't shock me if Billy does have serious conversations

569
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 4: well over here, both in person and my phone, with

570
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 4: people that are not here and tries to get a

571
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 4: jump on some of the moves out there.

572
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: What we heard right there, ladies and gentlemen over the

573
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,920

Speaker 1: See your brother, Michael Russo Russo Radio. So, I texted

579
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: this guy and I texted the other guy, and I

580
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: was mortified when these general managers knew that I had

581
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: sent them the same text. And I'm getting intel on

582
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: Robert Thomas and Trochak involved. I mean, they've all been

583
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: left in the wake of a keen turn of speed

584

631
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 8: Wednesdays are here to stay. You can use the talkback

633
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 8: wild MVP is at the break? So is it Cabri's off?

634
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Great question. I think I'll probably get two segments of talkbacks. Yeah,

635
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: maybe set it up. Make it a Vike bye short segment,

636
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: get some talkbacks for that's a that's a good talker

637
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: right there.

638
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: I mean caprice Off would be favored. Don't you think

639
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: I think I think capris Off would be favored? Could you?

640
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess betting betting wise favored then Boldie.

641
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 8: But what about Quinn Hughes. I mean, he's I think

642
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 8: he's got to be the m v P.

643
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: He's he's circumnavigating the field and passing entrance stride by stride.

644
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, and it's it's it's not just like okay, in

645
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 8: the end, we need number ninety seven doing his thing, budding,

646
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 8: you know, emerging superstar in Matt Boldy. But this whole beat, this,

647
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 8: this whole thing changed when Quinn Hughes shows up and

648
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 8: just completely changed the frame of our entire blue line.

649
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 8: So I don't know, if I was leaving a talkback,

650
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 8: i'd say, hey, this is this is Eric from Chaska.

651
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 8: I just wanted to say that I think the Quinn

652
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 8: Hughes move really changed this team in twenty five twenty six.

653
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 8: So I think my MVP would be Quinn Hughes at

654
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 8: the break and hopefully Billy G finds an extra little

655
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 8: toy to play with while he's in Italy. You do

656

671
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 8: And I'm gonna start with, well, it's this time of year.

672
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 8: Jordan Dejani of CBS Sports, you know, off season crazy predictions, pa,

673
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 8: Here's what he wrote, ten crazy predictions into the twenty

674
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 8: twenty six justin Jefferson being traded to the Buffalo Bills.

675
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, come on, man, I know we finished,

676
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: we finished nine and eight. It stinks, well, didn't he

677
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: qualify it? You know, I'll land just crazy predictions. Yes,

678
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: crazy was a word used. Man.

679
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 8: We're trying to figure out like what the path forward

680
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 8: is for Brazinski and now you're trying to take Jets

681
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 8: away from us. He does write this though, if you're

682
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 8: wearing tinfoil and you got the board with the tax

683
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 8: in the yarn, and you're trying to connect all of

684
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 8: the various dots.

685
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: Joe Brady his name popped up on NFL radars. He's

686
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: now the head coach of the Bills.

687
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 8: Bless you got why did he pop up on NFL

688
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 8: radars Because he was the passing game coordinator and wide

689
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 8: receivers coach in twenty nineteen at Louisiana State University.

690
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean with Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, and Terrorist Marshall Junior.

691
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean, you just there's really a

692
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: lot of work to do with those guys.

693
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 8: So the crazy prediction would be is the Bills make

694
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 8: an aggressive move to Parrott's new coach with a buddy

695
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 8: of his, sending the Vikings a package of picks. You

696
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 8: know how the bills. I mean they got Kean Coleman.

697
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 8: It's like a healthy scratch.

698
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 7: You have. What is it?

699
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: Shakir? Shakiir was their main man, Earl Shakir in a

700
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: lot of spots.

701
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: You've got your guy who caught the pass to beat

702
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: us off the chest of a Caleb Evans when he

703
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: played for the Chargers.

704
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: Oh is it uh? Joshua Palmer?

705
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 8: Josh Palmer they had and then some cat I forget Favors,

706
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 8: maybe Flavor. I forget what his name was, but he

707
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 8: tore his a cl so flavor Flave. He ran a

708
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 8: four to two forty at the Combine, but a four

709
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 8: four forty in the NFL.

710
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: Why because he had that big clock hanging around his neck.

711
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: I always loved it. Tell anybody about it in Indianapolis.

712
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: But they it's Shavers. Excuse me, Tyrrell Shavers, Shavers Flavors.

713
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. Here's the question, Eric, here's the reality. Okay,

714
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: hang on, Penn and a pad. How old are you

715
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: forty one? I'm forty one.

716
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: You've been waiting forty one years for the reality to

717
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: be shared with you. Right, you can see the look

718
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: in my eye. I'm excited.

719
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: Here's the question. It's a serious question.

720
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: Are they all with the Minnesota Vikings, everybody under contract?

721
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: Yeah? Are they all untouchable? Are they all untouchable?

722
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 8: As long as as long as Kevin O'Connell is coach

723
00:34:58,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 8: of the Minnesota Vikings.

724
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: I think Justin Jefferson is untouchable. Okay, what if? What

725
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: if four first round draft picks are off?

726
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: Okay?

727
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: Well, I mean stupid for me saying there's the reality.

728
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm stupid and you're not. We enjoyed your time here.

729
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: Justin Jesus, I.

730
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: Thought you were going to say, we enjoyed your time here.

731
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: Paul Well, I always love that one. Shut up.

732
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 8: I saw something though I can't remember whether it was

733
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 8: rap sheet, but but alluding to the idea that I

734
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 8: think whether it's the Players Association, I don't know the

735
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 8: uh the the who writes this particular rule, but they

736
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 8: were they were anticipating that there's going to be a

737
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 8: push this offseason to increase the number of first round

738
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 8: picks that you can offer in the future to five

739
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 8: from three to five.

740
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Whatever is that Justin Jefferson related maneuver?

741
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 7: Is that be?

742
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 8: Is that being headed by what is it? Mister Bean Brandon?

743
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 8: Bean over there and in northern New York.

744
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: That's a very good question.

745
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, are they all untouchable? Well, okay, and

746
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: I ain't answering it. So hey six, non't talk, don't eat, no, no,

747
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: So are they all untouchable?

748
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 7: Yeah?

Speaker 8: In the short term, it's question fix the cat man.

775

Speaker 8: We got to get back in black. Uh, we got

776
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 8: to fix the draft. We better have everything laced up

777
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 8: and ready to go for late April. But please don't

778
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,200

00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 8: if there are guidelines or guide or guard rails in

781
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,799

00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: You sound a little groggy right now. Big celebration after

806
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: beating Canada yesterday.

807
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 7: Big celebration.

808
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a fun night, one of those you know,

809
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 9: late games around here. But you know, like I mentioned

810
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 9: to you, the group chat was rocking and rolling.

811
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 7: We found a little bar to go to and everybody

812
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 7: had a great time.

813
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: The family group chat for Team USA women's family and friends.

814
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: It's phenomenal.

815
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: Now that game yesterday at Parker and we were texting

816
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: during the game, genuinely excited for you and your fiance

817
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: had been had it been a fight, ma'am, they would

818
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: have stopped it in the second round, just like being

819
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: in the arena.

820
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: How great was that?

821
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 7: It was awesome? You know.

822
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 9: I'll tell you what, Either there was a lot of

823
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 9: Canadian fans there or there was a lot of locals

824
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 9: that don't like the US, because it was definitely a

825
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 9: prominent Canadian fan base there at the game.

826
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 7: So we had to fight a little bit of that.

827
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 9: We had to fight the energy and excitement from the start,

828
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 9: but then when the girls kind of got started, it

829
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 9: was it was dominant. And yeah, you mentioned you and

830
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 9: I were texting and we mentioned the loss of Captain

831
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 9: reef Le Palen for Canada, which you know makes a

832
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 9: big impact. But I told Taylor today, I said, it

833
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 9: doesn't matter who you guys play. I feel like if

834
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 9: you play that way, nobody can beat you.

835
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: Your your fiance took Yeah, it was dicey, but took

836
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: an illegal hit penalty end of the second period. Was

837
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: she cranky after the game or jubilant due to the

838
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 1: Canadian butt whooping?

839
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 7: She was fired up.

840
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 9: She was fired up to get the win.

841
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 7: That's obviously most important.

842
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 9: You know, we talked about me learning more and more

843
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 9: about hockey and and kind of the ins and out.

844
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 9: And the one thing I do know is you don't

845
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 9: want to take a penalty with seven seconds butts of

846
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 9: the period. So I don't think she needs my advice

847
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 9: from that, but I did think her her skate got,

848
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 9: you know, slipped out a little bit. I don't know

849
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 9: if that penalty gets called, if it's a tighter game, Pa,

850
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 9: but that talking for you, right, everything's got to be physical,

851
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 9: it's got to be fast, it's got to be violent,

852
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 9: and you have to play with one speed, especially when

853
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 9: you're playing at this level.

854
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 7: This is the Olympics. You can't hold anything back. You

855
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 7: got to leave it all out there.

856
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 9: But she knows that the business isn't over, right, she

857
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 9: knows that that's just a preliminary round and Canada is

858
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 9: going to watch film. They're going to come back and

859
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 9: hopefully at the Canada US finals. I think everybody wants

860
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 9: to see that, right, You want to see the two

861
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 9: best teams in the world go at each other. And

862
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 9: I know that if it is that kind of game,

863
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 9: I think it's going to be a little tighter of

864
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 9: a game.

865
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 7: But like I mentioned, earlier. It's USA or nothing. If

866
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 7: they play that way, they'll beat anybody in the world.

867
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: Do you know who Alan Roach is? Of course the

868
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: box of all boxes ever to Vox. So I'm texting

869
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: with him yesterday during the game because he's the in arena.

870
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: He's the in arena box of all boxes ever to Vox.

871
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 1: It was so crazy, man, because I'll like mess around

872
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: with him and say, hey, don't forget twenty seven is easy,

873
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: not hizy, lol, love you. Let's get together soon, And then,

874
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: like ten minutes after I sent that, twenty seven gets

875
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: that penalty at the end of the second period. So

876
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: I had to listen to my TV closely to the

877
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: background to make sure he didn't say he easy and

878
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: he's likely twenty seven Taylor HEIZI two minutes talking him

879
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: about have.

880
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: You met Alan?

881
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 7: I haven't met him yet.

882
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 9: No, I see you know, I see his work and

883
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 9: I know he's excellent what he does.

884
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 7: But no, we haven't met yet. I'd love to meet

885
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 7: him at some point.

886
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: It's a cinch, Parker. He's in the same arena where

887
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: you're watching these games, and he was five feet from

888
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: Tailor when she was in the box, so he's got

889
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: to be ice level close to the penalty box.

890
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've seen him down there. It's kind of a

891
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 7: long way.

892
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 9: It's a different stadium, right, so you probably got about

893
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 9: ten to fifteen feet from the stands to the actual

894
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 9: rink of you know, walk area for whether that be

895
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 9: camera personnel.

896
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 7: Social media people.

897
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 9: So it'd be hard to get him during the game,

898
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 9: but maybe I'll catch him on the concourse or walking

899
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 9: out of the arena.

900
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 7: At some point.

901
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna read to you.

902
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna sound like a question, but it was the

903
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: text I sent you yesterday that Abby Murphy no look

904
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: past a bilka though, Holy cow.

905
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 7: How about that one?

906
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 4: Huh?

907
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's you know, Abby Murphy.

908
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 9: We've talked about her on the show a good deal,

909
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 9: right Pa, And we saw the move that she had

910
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 9: a couple of weeks ago, probably a month now, picking

911
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 9: the puck up and putting it back down, going through

912
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 9: the defender's legs.

913
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 7: So not only is she such a great talent, but

914
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 7: she has fun out there.

915
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 9: And I think that's the unique thing about hockey, right

916
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 9: is so many sports you just got to be technically sound,

917
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 9: and that's obviously so important. But she's got some swagger

918
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 9: to her and and that line is really working out

919
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 9: really well with Taylor and Murph and Bilka and and

920
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 9: they're really flying around and having fun.

921
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 7: And you gotta have that to your game.

922
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 9: I think it's so important when you when you're able

923
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 9: to just go out there and play free. And I

924
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 9: think that pass was an example of it, and it

925
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 9: got a lot of hype on on the old X Machine,

926
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 9: and rightfully deserving.

927
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: So why aren't you at the Slovakia Finland game right now?

928
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: Slovaki You just took a one zero lead on a

929
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: sweet goal about it a player named Slavasky or something, Slefkosky,

930
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: slef Cosky.

931
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I didn't go to that one.

932
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 9: Taylor and I are just gearing up. We're going to

933
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 9: go get a little dinner down by the duomo here.

934
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 9: It's for day off, so we're going to get dinner

935
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 9: tonight together and then they practice tomorrow and then you know,

936
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 9: things get pretty serious right here around the corner with

937
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 9: the elimination games, so win or go home type of atmosphere,

938
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 9: type of attitude. So we're going to get some good

939
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 9: dinner tonight, fueler up and taking a little break from

940
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 9: the Olympics tonight, which I think is important as well.

941
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Parker Fox from Milan,

942
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: Now listen closely to this. Okay, surrogate, you got it.

943
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: Your role in this whole goal metal winning run is

944
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: and here's why Taylor plays a lot twenty seven is key.

945
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: Your role is that of her fiance, best friend, hype guy,

946
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: and shoulder if she's upset with something game related. Parker,

947
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: you hold a key, key role to this equation. Do

948
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: you understand that.

949
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 9: I gotta keep telling myself that, right, I gotta keep

950
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 9: now that I've done playing, I gotta I gotta have

951
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 9: some sort of responsibility when it comes to athletics. But no,

952
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 9: you know, Pa, you've met her enough and you've been

953
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 9: around her enough to know that to get to this level,

954
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 9: you got to be different, right, You got to be

955
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 9: different mentally and and the way that you approach the game.

956
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 9: And I truly think that that she's the epitome of

957
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 9: an Olympian. I think there's a reason why she's on

958
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 9: this team. Is the reason why you know, she's up

959
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 9: there and leading the team in minutes every single night,

960
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 9: and she.

961
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 7: Knows what to do and I'm I'm here.

962
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 9: I'm here if there's anything else, right, I'm here for

963
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 9: all the extra. But I think it's so it's so great.

964
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 9: It's just it's it's often to be here and be

965
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 9: a part of it. And even though it's just a

966
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 9: small little part of it. I think I've talked.

967
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 7: About it kind of enough already. But it's truly special

968
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 7: and I'm grateful for every moment of it.

969
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: So I heard you, Parker.

970
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 8: You popped on with the Power Trip this morning and

971
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 8: you were talking about figure skating. Now I haven't I mean,

972
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 8: Christi Yamagucci, the Nancy Kerigan's, the Scott Hamilton's, the Brian

973
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 8: Boitano's of the world. I haven't caught up with figure

974
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 8: skating as it is. However, you and now Common Man,

975
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 8: the two people in my life who have both raved

976
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 8: about somebody called the quad God who is basically maxing

977
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 8: out the physical limitations of what you can do on

978
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 8: the ice. Sounds like you got to see him take

979
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 8: gold the other day. What's the quad God like and

980
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 8: figure skating in person?

981
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 2: In Italy?

982
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, Nardo, it is. I actually have chills

983
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 7: just hearing you say that. It's unbelievable what a human

984
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 7: can do, right.

985
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 9: I don't think a lot of us, even you know,

986
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 9: think too deep about it. We just watch him go

987
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 9: out there and like, oh, all these guys are doing

988
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 9: the same tricks.

989
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 7: That's not the case at all.

990
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 9: The quad God is because he's the best at doing

991
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 9: the four spins. That's the maximum amount of spins that

992
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 9: you can do to get the highest amount of points. Now,

993
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 9: there's six different types of spins, and there's how many

994
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 9: times you do the spins. Not to mention, he did

995
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 9: a backflip in competition, and in figure skating you're not

996
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 9: allowed to land on two feet. You have to land

997
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 9: on one feet. So imagine going out there on the ice,

998
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 9: skating backwards and doing a backflip and landing it on

999
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 9: one foot. I mean, it's just unbelievable the level of

1000
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 9: skill and athleticism they have, while the whole time they're

1001
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 9: trying to put it on a performance, you know, for

1002
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 9: the fans. So you talked about an athlete who's just

1003
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 9: completely at the top of his craft.

1004
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 7: Arguably the greatest of all time is him.

1005
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 9: Illy have malanin the Quad God. It's really something to see.

1006
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 9: If you haven't seen him. Yet you got to turn

1007
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 9: your TV's on, you got to go to YouTube, you

1008
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 9: got to watch him because he's unbelievable.

1009
00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: Is quad god drawing comparisons to the great Nathan Chen.

1010
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 9: I think people I've seen it on you know, accent

1011
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 9: on Instagram. People are calling him maybe the greatest ever.

1012
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 9: I don't think he's lost a competition in the last

1013
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 9: two years, whether that be you know, world championships or

1014
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 9: you know, other just competitions along the way. He's been

1015
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 9: undefeated and he's going to take home a couple of

1016
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 9: gold medals here in Milan as well. So you talk

1017
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 9: about an athlete that at the top the top of

1018
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 9: his game. Uh, that's that's the definition of the cloud Gods.

1019
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: When when do we get to say hello to tailor

1020
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: nine to noon?

1021

Speaker 7: We got to make something happen, don't we.

00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 9: We've got to make something work. We're we're about to
