Speaker 2: Now that'll happen.

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,279

00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: I had my son Latino Military come in and I

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: saw that and all that, telling you I can't get

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: enough of it. Then the wedge cellar is great, the macademic,

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: the chicken is good. We got a number of different

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: things and different drinks and I'm lucky you got out

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,720

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: Week twenty three. Yeah, yeah, that's surprising. That makes sense.

30
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: All Right, we get let's get some top five stuff going.

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: There's plenty of hockey year. Yeah, there's not a time

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: to get to. The Wolves have another preseason game tonight

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: against the Indiana Pacers. It's the preseason home opener. We're

34
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: all happy for him, so people can go watch that.

35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: Here's what I wanted to get to though. This is

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: kind of interesting. Remember Bill Belichick kind of he's a

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: football coach at the University of North Carolina. Well, this

38
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: whole thing. He comes in, the AD's wearing the hoodie.

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: They've got balloons everywhere. He's got his old GM from

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: New England. Mike Lombardi is his new GM at North Carolina.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: They're doing media appearances. He was just on the field

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: doing game day stuff, you know, flipping crap to Nick Saban.

43
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: It was like Louis and Mace last week with the crosstalk,

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: just bsing with each other. Well, part of the big

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,559
Speaker 2: unveiling for Belichick was going to be this Inside Carolina

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Hulu special that's been canceled after two and three start

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: that has not been going very well. They've decided that

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: they're not going to do they They're not going to

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: do the Hulu special anymore. And this is not the first,

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: but the second Inside Access documentary that has been canceled.

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: They were going to do one on HBO that got canceled,

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: then they sign up for Hulu and now it's people

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: don't really want to watch it, and it's a mess.

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not letting them tweet pictures of Drake

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: may because he plays for the Patriots. That story true. Yes,

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: he's not letting scouts from the Patriots come scout as players,

57
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: which is also know that on the air. Yes, dress

58
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: I don't like them, they don't like me. Basically, it's bizarre.

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: It's none of it again. And I was pulling for this,

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: as you. I wasn't immediately saying this is stupid. No,

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: And I got a text yesterday from somebody saying, basically,

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: we don't realize how bad what he inherited was, which

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 2: may be true. And what the guy was trying to

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: say is going to take more than one year they

65
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: have like seventy five new place exactly, which is so difficult.

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: They're difficult, so maybe it will take time. But to

67
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: your point, when it's not, when it's going as badly,

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: I mean, basically the building was empty at halftime, they

69
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: were down, they ended up, they were down. Ultimately I

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: think they lost thirty eight to ten, but it was

71
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: thirty five to three to Clemson in Chapel Hill and Louis.

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: You know, this is when when it's going bad like that,

73
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: that's that is when it's harder to get away with

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: all the small you know, nonsense like well, don't talk

75
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: about Drake May because he plays for New England even

76
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: though he went to school at Carolina. You know, you're

77
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: supposed to be exulting in that and and bring it

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: to everybody's attention. So I I don't know what he's

79
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: You know, as you get older and he's getting older,

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: just like but he's he's got to remember that as

82
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: you get older, really you would think you're anger tempers,

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: you would think, you know, you realize a lot of

84
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: it's just crap, and you just say, why would I

85
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: ever do some of the stupid and especially when you've

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: had such a great career at a place like New England.

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: Some of the things you might not like, but you

88
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: can't forget the success you had. And and basically it

89
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: made a movie. Is whether it was all him or

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: all fresh whatever, he's still part of it. And I

91
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: can understand you might not like somebody, but just because

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: you might not like somebody you worked with there doesn't

93
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 3: mean you you prohibit them from coming and do their job.

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: That's pettiness. I think when you get to his stature,

95
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: the pettiness would disappear you. You've got so much going

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: for you. This this flabbergasts me and just drives me nuts.

97
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Well, and we're not going to get to watch it

98
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: on Hulu, so we'll just have to watch it forward

99
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: to that. Why not? Yeah, inside Carolina. Yeah, maybe somebody

100
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: else will pick it up. There's a lot of streaming service.

101
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: I was going to say, somebody funny of services. Dodgers

102
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: beat the Phillies four to three last night. They leave

103
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: that series two games to love. And we just talked

104
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: to Ron Coomer from Cubs Radio. How about the wheel play?

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: You hear about the Dodgers wheel play?

106
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: No?

107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: Was it nice? It's the best wheel play I've ever

108
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: seen in a key situation, bunt and everybody, everybody moves

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 2: into position, shortstop moves over to cover third. They gunned

110
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: down there. It's just it was about as well done

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: as one could imagine the old wheel play orchestrated. I

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: don't I'm not sure if we were very good at

113
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: doing that, although we may not. So few teams bunt anymore.

114
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I'm surprised people even practice it.

115
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: You never know what situation is going to come up.

116
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: And the Brewers Cato Kalin's Brewers, Yeah, knocked off your

117
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: Cubs seven to three, and so they go back to

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: Wrigley tomorrow for Game three with the Cubs looking to

119
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: stay alive. Some games. This afternoon, the Mariners Tigers game

120
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: Game three has been delayed. That series is lightning one.

121
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. Did you see the

122
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: Who was it? Who was the analyst frustrated at all

123
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: of the lightning delays in college football?

124
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

125
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: That was barstool Guy. David barstil Guy basically said, you

126
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: know what we should we should stop with these ridiculous

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: delays because if if you have to clear the stadium,

128
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: you could be walking basically back to your car and

129
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: she just still get struck by lightning. He just basically said, look,

130
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: here's what you have to look at. If you get

131
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: struck by lightning, it's just not your day exactly, but

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: you have to accept it. So that was a new

133
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: position on they're walking out there. That's true too. Yeah,

134
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: you're right, Yeah, I think they want you to take cover.

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, because some of those delays have been lengthy.

136
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: I mean they got the first part of the college game. Yeah,

137
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: because the rule is every lightning strike resets the clock.

138
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: Oh is that right? So you could go and if

139
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: like eight to ten miles, so you know, it could

140
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: be in our hills and there's lightning and you can't

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: play it. Does We've had a couple really lengthy ones. Yeah,

142
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: his colleagues when he said that, yeah, they got of

143
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: barstool marriage. That's that in a nutshell. They didn't know

144
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: what to say. Yes, that was ridiculous. Blue Jays Yankees Tonight.

165
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: news that we need to cover during the broadcast, but

166
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: before we do that, I want to play. Guardie has

167
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: a bit of sound that we want to play and

168
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: it's this came straight out of the NHL News archive.

169
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna introduce yet the other person in

170
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: this conversation. A most people listening will quit, and yourself.

171
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: You will probably recognize that person and yourself as well.

172
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: This is this particular bit of sound goes all the

173
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: way back twenty two, twenty five, forty seven years ago.

174
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: This goes back to nineteen hundred and seventy eight, and

175
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: in this case, you're kind of sort of being interviewed.

176
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 5: Let's listen, Chico resh with Louis Nanny, former player, former coach,

177
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: now the general manager of the Minnesota and nor Stars. Louis,

178
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 5: one of your main concerns now is hiring a coach.

179
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: Were you a winning coach when you played?

180
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 6: I can't recall, actually, Chico, I ran into some difficulty.

181
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: We didn't have enough games against you when you were

182
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: in a NETT. Besides that, I'd have.

183
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 6: To say the basic problem I ran into was kind

184
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 6: I coached too long.

185
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: I was the winning coach for the first week.

186
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 5: That brings back a storm may Louis. I think you

187
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 5: scored five goals in your career, Two of them were

188
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: against me, and three right here in the Forum.

189
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 6: Well, you know it's your fault. You never came into

190
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 6: the league till four years ago. And that's remarkable because

191
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 6: those five goals I got were.

192
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: On six shots. I was hoping you stay around a

193
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: little longer.

194
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: I could have hit one hundred.

195
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: Well, Louis, I'm lucky I'm still in the league because

196
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 5: the first shot I think I tried to stop on

197
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: you went in and with that start, you know there's

198
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: not much you can do after that.

199
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, Chico, you're right, you're lucky.

200
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 6: You're still in the league, and you're highly paid because

201
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 6: I just figured it out. Before I figured you average

202
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 6: twenty five shots a game. You played forty games year

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 6: that you know, a thousand shots a second of shot

204
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: that worked out a sixteen minute. If you look at

205
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 6: your salary, about one hundred two thousand, you're getting about

206
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 6: seven thousand dollars an hour.

207
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: Vastly overpaid. I can't understand why you're.

208
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: Working here for this a little bit of money.

209
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Excuse me a favor.

210
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: Make sure you never make a trade for me.

211
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you one thing.

212
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 6: If you keep giving me any jabby here, you know

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 6: I'm going to trade the years.

214
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: Then you go far the Hockey News won't fight.

215
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 5: Enough of this.

216
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: We'll get back to stuff.

217
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: Now, back to.

218
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: Dan, you can fade it out. There is actually more

219
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: to it where he ended the interview too soon and

220
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: there's this silence and then she and and and the

221
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: other individual we should mention you know who it is,

222
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: a former Islanders goaltender Chico Rash with you. This was

223
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: during a nineteen seventy eight intermission chat. And then there's

224
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: this pregnant pause as he realizes, oh my god, they

225
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: want us to talk some more. So then he goes

226
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: back to you and tries to get you going again.

227
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: Do you have any recollection because all you guys did

228
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: was trade barbs, the whole thing back and forth. It

229
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: was tremendous.

230
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: I forgot about that. That's a long time ago.

231
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: Yes.

232
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 3: In fact, I had just taken over the team in

233
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 3: February in this that was Standing Cup playoffs because right Montreal.

234
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: That's it. It was in the forum. You're exactly right,

235
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: And how good was that that was? That was good?

236
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: That was goodacular.

237
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: Just think I actually worked the finals in that series

238
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: for Hockine in Canada, right, Yeah, I.

239
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: Just I wish more of the interviews were like that.

240
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: Where it's just the two individuals, the interviewer in the interview,

241
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: just just trading barbs to the whole thing. Be better

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: than most of the interviews. Yeah, a lot more fun.

243
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: Oh that was that was good stuff.

244
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: Chic was still living up her own Crosby Arrington.

245
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: Is that right?

246
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: I believe so, no kidding? Yeah, well yeah, interest right guy,

247
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: that's a great guy.

248
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: Questions for Louis bratch on Brian Cafe in text line

249
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: is open at six four six eight six. In fact,

250
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: let me refresh because I know we got a lot

251
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: of new ones that are coming in as well. So

252
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: we started the program with the news that I think

253
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: broke yesterday on McDavid and uh he ends up doing

254
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: at least for now two years twelve million year, which

255
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: is not quite as much money while to pay Caprice off.

256
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: So were you There were some hockey people who predicted it,

257
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: but I still was pretty shocked and given, you know,

258
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: like I said, the timing of what the wild had

259
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: to do on capriceoft, it was rather jolting to see.

260
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: So what did you What did you make of the

261
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: McDavid decision.

262
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of things when you look at

263
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: it that you can't compare Apple Sapples and Sapple STOREM

264
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: just first and foremost, McDavid's younger.

265
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: Say much for much Yeah.

266
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: But secondly, he's the guy that runs the Edmonton Oilers.

267
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: Was his agent, he's now CEO of the Edmonton Oilers. Interesting,

268
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: so you know you're going to get a good deal.

269
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: So he just took over i think the team last year,

270
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 3: so there was no doubt that, you know, something was

271
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: working out favorably. Secondly, and the key the whole thing

272
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: is it's two years, right, yeah, and so he knows

273
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: that if he doesn't win a Stanley Cup and like

274
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: where he's at in two, well it's going to be

275
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: three years because this year he gets you know, he

276
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 3: plays on this contract.

277
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: So it's actually three years.

278
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to go where he wants to go.

279
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: And by three years, the CAP's going to be at

280
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: least one hundred and five one hundred and ten million

281
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: rather than eighty four million or whatever is now, So

282
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: he's going to be able to get in the twenties.

283
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: He's going to get twenty some million rather than twenty million.

284
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: He could have maxed out at twenty million right now.

285
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: Basically nineteen one, I think could I nineteen one, he

286
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: could have maxed out at.

287
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: But he could have done nineteen one each of the

288
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: next two years too.

289
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 3: They were going to take that.

290
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: They wouldn't.

291
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: No, no, you know that's why the wild enough for

292
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: Caprice for short term. If Caprisof would have taken twelve

293
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: million for two years, they might have taken even then.

294
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: They don't want to risk.

295
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people have told me he did

296
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: this because he's This is his way of challenging the team,

297
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: the franchise where it is to make other moves.

298
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. If he doesn't, if he doesn't

299
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: win a company in three years, because he's got he's

300
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: got the one year from this year before that kicks in.

301
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: If he doesn't, then he's going to be gone somewhere.

302
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: He'll be gone to like Toronto, maybe Leaze for instance.

303
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: You know he's from there. You know how much they'll

304
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: pay maximum, whatever maximum is, and there'll be a lot

305
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: of teams with paying maximum. So if maximum at that

306
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: time twenty four million, twenty five million, when you look

307
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: at six years where you're ranking, you know right now

308
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: he's underpaid by say seven million, So he's underpaid for

309
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: two years by seven millions fourteen million. He's underpaid, but

310
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: it's helpful of the team, Yeah, definitely. But their team's

311
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: already good. They're close, that's true. I mean they've had

312
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: the finals last two years. So he's looking that he's

313
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: going to be able to make it up pretty close.

314
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: And what he gets from that is he's close. He's

315
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: right and knocking on the door for two years or

316
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: are we going to be able to jump over the herd?

317
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: So when I think it's the tweet I saw this,

318
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: I think from Pierre Lebron when he writes ninety seven

319
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: could have signed for the Max wants to win extends

320
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: for the same twelve point five million aa V of

321
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: is expiring deal. You don't agree with him. I mean

322
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: he's made to sound like he is that he is

323
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: making a sacrifice.

324
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: Oh, he is making a sacrifice. He is making because.

325
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: Can't why could convinced convinced Caprice offt to make a

326
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: little bit more of a sacrifice.

327
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: David some Canada and Caprices from Russia. I think that

328
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: that has a little bit with you think And McDavid's agent,

329
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: as I said, was boss now and I'm telling you

330
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: I think Capriceoff took less than he wanted and it

331
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: was his decision or less than.

332
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: The the agent.

333
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: He could have pushed them and he would have won

334
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: that one by pushing him. I think Caprice's no, no,

335
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: that's enough, let's get it done.

336
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: Capriceoff was born on April twenty sixth, nineteen ninety seven.

337
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: Guards you we write that down, April twenty sixth, nineteen

338
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: ninety seven, that's the Caprice Off birthdate. Connor McDavid birthday,

339
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: let me look that up is January thirteenth, nineteen ninety seven.

340
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: So actually, I guess that would make McDavid a little older,

341
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: like three or four months. But you know what, very

342
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: close those kids must have played together. And I saw

343
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: Caprice Off playing the World Juniors on TV. I know

344
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: McDavid played that just Fanny. They might have been the

345
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: same tournament. And if they weren't, you realize Caprice the

346
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: tournament goal scorer. Really yeah, there you go. Well, I

347
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: hope he.

348
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: They probably weren't the same tournament.

349
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: I hope he takes us to the Cup finals. It

350
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: would be nice to get to the finals, Louis, would

351
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: be nice to get them, Okay, but we already got

352
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of injuries. Now, so what is going on?

353
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's that's that's the underlying question all

354
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: the time. Is a team going to stay away from

355
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: injuries because that's so important when when you look at

356
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 3: all these teams, injuries are tough to stand, you know,

357
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: and especially the while they've had so many lately, and

358
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: we're starting off with guys on the injury list, which

359
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: is tough. Yeah, you got zu Corrella's maybe going to

360
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: be about two months, you got Brodein just coming back.

361
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: You've got storm Out. I mean, they're it's amazing. It's

362
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 3: just amazing to me.

363
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: Was it ATMs a back issue? I think correct which

364
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: a little bit, that's what they're reporting. Yeah, so what

365
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 2: was it? Do you think it was risky at all

366
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: bringing him back given that history?

367
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: Well, if he's got it back, yeah history, Yeah, it's

368
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: always rescue with a back. Backs the worst worst injury,

369
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: I can tell you anything you want, but when it's chronic,

370
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: it's really Yeah, it's three D tough. You know, you

371
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 3: think you can get by with it, but you can't.

372
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: You're you're never comfortable, You're never in your positioning, your

373
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: whether your posture, and that is always difficult. I just

374
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: hope it's not a back injury.

375
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 2: Augustason signs a five year, thirty four million dollar contract extension.

376
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: You okay with that too much? What does that and

377
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 2: what does that mean for the phenom for the kid?

378
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: Well, it's not too much for goaltenders that are in

379
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 3: the league after four or five years and and playing

380
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 3: pretty well. And Gustus and if unless something happens, he's

381
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: he's going to be the major guy. He's going to

382
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: have to play fifty to fifty five games at least.

383
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: And if he can play like he's you only had

384
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: one bad year since he's been here, and the other

385
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: one's been pretty durn good. And if the other kid

386
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: who's had a good training camp, well, stead, if he

387
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: comes through, you need a goaltender to come through when

388
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: your other guy just has a little rocky bit of play,

389
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 3: like Flurry would jump in there. If if us had

390
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: a couple of bad games and then give them time

391
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 3: to reset, and if and if Jeffer is able to

392
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: do that, which sure looks like in preseason, then the

393
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: goaltending should be okay, should be it could be really good.

394
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: Did we have to do this?

395
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: Signed six years? Yeah? No, but again they're they're they're

396
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: looking at the cap and in the space they got,

397
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: we had, they had the room to do six million.

398
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: That's not high priced goaltending right now. You know, Goltons

399
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: make a heck of a lot more than that. And

400
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: and he's been in the league for a while, so

401
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: he's got he's got a history here, he's they're happy

402
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: with the they're confident what he can do. And I

403
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 3: have I had no problem with that six million. I

404
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: thought that was a good price to pay for a

405
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: guy that's should be your main guy and play fifty

406
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: to fifty five games.

407
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, Well, so is there room? How's this going to

408
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: play out with the kid?

409
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: Then?

410
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: How how is this going to Is there room for

411
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: him when you've.

412
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you when when I say fifty to fifty five,

413
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: we're still giving the kid over the thirty games.

414
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: But I mean, he he was viewed as a prospect.

415
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: He's like, this is going to be a number one,

416
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: This is gonna be our number one goaltender. Yeah, correct,

417
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: but he isn't yet and he's got to prove it. Yeah,

418
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: And and so you're covering yourself, yeah, fact exactly.

419
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: And trust me, if he can prove to be that

420
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 3: guy and get more. You can move Gus, you can

421
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 3: make a trade, that's right true, and and you need

422
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 3: two goaltenders in this sleepue right now. When you get

423
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, it changes a bit. But when you're

424
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 3: going a regular season and playing so many games in

425
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: a short period of time, and especially this year, but

426
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: you got three weeks off for the Olympics, these games

427
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: are really back to back so many times, and you

428
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: got to give your quotes and arrests and some of.

429
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: These where's the where is it? Where's the winter? On Alans?

430
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: The final? Yeah, it's actually are you going? No?

431
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 3: I was singing about it, but enough times.

432
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: No, you've never not gone this time.

433
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm going to stay at home and just watch on TV.

434
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: I know.

435
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: I just was in Italy and I'm going to go

436
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: back next year. But I don't want to go back

437
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: just to watch hockey.

438
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: I'm enough times. Yeah, yeah, you have probably been there

439
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: a while the world.

440
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: I like. I like Milan. I really enjoyed Milan. One

441
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: time I was there, was staying hoteling. My wife and

442
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: I were looking at all these beautiful women going by.

443
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 3: She said, what's going on? I said, you know, what

444
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: Milan's is essentially the second fashion place in the world.

445
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 3: It's is Garrison and Milan. Then you go to New York,

446
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: you know, and and that was the fashion show, the

447
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: World Fashion Show was going on, and it's a beautiful city.

448
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: And my this is the funniest thing ever happened. One year.

449
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: Like I said, I've been there a number of times,

450
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 3: to Milan, but one year when I took my family,

451
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: Tadley and we we then dispersed after the week where

452
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: I had set up for him down by Sienna and

453
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: Silver Chili, and then then some of us went to

454
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 3: different places. Well, my wife and I and our youngest son, Marty,

455
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: and in fact maybe all the kids. We all met

456
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: back there and by the Duomo in the plaza, right,

457
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: and then my grandson Tyler was six years old, and

458
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 3: in the plaza was this old guy, probably my age,

459
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: probably in his mid eighties, and he's feeding the pigeons

460
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: and Tyler and he's got a big, big basket of

461
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 3: food for the pigeons, and he thrown on the floor

462
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: and Tyler's running around trying to catch the pigeon. He

463
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: can't catch a pigeon. So all of a sudden, the

464
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: old guy was real nice, and he hands Tyler a

465
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: handful of seed, and Tyler throws them all up in

466
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: the air and he land right in this guy's head.

467
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you there must have been twenty pigeons

468
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: dive bombed this guy.

469
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 2: Is that right?

470
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: I'm telling you it's the last time that guy ever

471
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 3: give anybody any food to feed the pigeons.

472
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 2: So Milan, Cortina did, yeaha Courtina, the US one, the

473
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 2: silver medal there in fifty six.

474
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: Mariucci was a coach, Was that right?

475
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: Okay? Beautiful in the Dolomites.

476
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 3: It's got to be. It's beautiful card. But that's going

477
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: to be all the scheme. The hockey is going to

478
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: be down on Milan. So yeah, you know the Dolomites

479
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: that would have made it.

480
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: I didn't even know they could have the event if

481
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: you didn't attend it. I am confused. I never thought

482
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: it would this be the first one you No, I

483
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: know you did miss a couple.

484
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: And I missed yeah, others. I've been the number of them.

485
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: But uh, you get to the point. I'm not going

486
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: to leave Florida go there and just back and forth

487
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: to a game. But I can get it on TV

488
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: and Joyce.

489
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: You're hanging with Mace. Here's my here's your first Wild question,

490
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: and this comes from five oh seven guy Louis. I

491
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: think Rossie scores forty if they let him play with

492
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: Caprice Off all year. What do you think.

493
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 3: He's capable of it? Five h seven year down Rochester.

494
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. But yeah, he can't Rossie. If he

495
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: gets in the thirties, I'm still going to be very

496
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 3: happy because that's a lot of production. And as you know,

497
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 3: you know I was going to be playing with Caprice

498
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 3: off the Yeah, Hines moves those lines around. So but

499
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: he's a guy you can depend on. History is something

500
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 3: you all should look at, and Rossi led the juniors

501
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: and scoring, so you always know he got the capability

502
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: to be a big score.

503
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: Another text, do you think the Wild would pursue McDavid

504
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: in three years a twenty one million year with the

505
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: higher cat that's Tim from Northfield. I would assume that's

506
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: wishful thinking.

507
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah it is. And if McDavid has his druthers and

508
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: the Maple Leaves are still really capable of winning, and

509
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 3: he's able to go there and they can fit you know,

510
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 3: fit him in without losing the old team. Uh, he'll

511
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: be going to Toronto.

512
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: So this is opening night. Looks like a good game. Uh,

513
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: Florida and Blackhawks to two about midway through the second period.

514
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Florida'syill shooting him twenty one to say.

515
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: Is that right? Yeah? Dominant?

516
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

517
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: Are the black Hawks are ever going to make a move?

518
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: I mean, are they are? They are? They primed to

519
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: make a big.

520
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: Not prime to make a big one. But they're getting

521
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: a good basic young guys. Yeah, and the Gophers have

522
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 3: two guys there from their team last Year's.

523
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 2: All that's right.

524
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: And Zelden defense is really going to be I think

525
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: he's going to be a real, real good NHL defenseman.

526
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: Look at la Combe that just signed a nine million

527
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 3: dollar contract with Anaheim, and you know, Favors got a

528
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: good one in a while and they and Oliver Moore

529
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 3: is there. I don't know if he hung on after camp,

530
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: but he's going to be there. They they essentially were

531
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 3: talking to him like he's staying. In fact, Nick Felino

532
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: offered he's eighteen years old nine maybe's going on nineteen

533
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: right now and offered Househm, he said, you could stay

534
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 3: with me, kid, a fearior.

535
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: So so this would be a good day. This is

536
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 2: a good day with another season, you know, beginning we're

537
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: embarking a new one. Gi what what is your what

538
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: is the lu Nanny state of the Game report?

539
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: Oh? I think it's uh tremendous. I just I'm so

540
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: impressed by how the growth of the league has just

541
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 3: continue to get bigger and bigger every year. And markets

542
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: that weren't so good take a look at that detail market.

543
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: They're going to be a good team this year by

544
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: the way. They're going to fight the Wild for a

545
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 3: playoff position. That that just makes somebody else another threat

546
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: in the division, in the conference. And and he that

547
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: place is a wonderful place. I had my farm team

548
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 3: in Salt Lake Farewell. In fact that Imber, I think

549
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 3: you said that before. Yeah, And it's a beautiful area

550
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: and now the owner owns with the basketball team in

551
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: the hockey RNK. That's why they improve the building so much.

552
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 3: And I just think it's a it's a great market.

553
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 3: And we got so many good markets around the US,

554
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 3: especially now how the game's grown and it's just getting bigger.

555
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 3: The visibility is getting better, which means it's going to

556
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: be really really interesting when the next NHL contract comes

557
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 3: up for bid, because that's going to be the key

558
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: to the salary cap and where it goes. And and

559
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 3: right now, the uh, the excitement of it. I think

560
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: you're going to have a great Olympic championship. It's going

561
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: to be very competitive. And with that, I think it's

562
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 3: going to help you know the visibility of the game,

563
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 3: which means that people are going to bid more for

564
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: the rights. So salary CAP's going up, but they've got it.

565
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 3: Vetman's down. Unbelievable job. I'll tell you that from.

566
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: Where they How long has he been commissioner now? Nineteen

567
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: ninety three, sineteen ninety it's a good run. Yes, it

568
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: is ownership.

569
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: In fact, I could see this great probably Leopold at

570
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 3: the annual meeting last year, and it was down in

571
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: at the order what was the name of the hotel

572
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: was in like just south of Manila, pan We're probably

573
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: it was used to be a four seasons Anyway, the

574
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: I think Greg Joel some of the writers that oh,

575
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: Gary's going to retire. He's talking about retiring. So it

576
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: came over of this big story and Gary hadn't said.

577
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: And anything, right, Yeah, so I'm sure who is the

578
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: who is the air apparent?

579
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 3: Well, I would hope it's Bill Daily, the number two guy,

580
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: who's been a fantastic, fantastic number two guy, and and

581
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: he's also very smart. Betman is the one thing they

582
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: say about Betman, and Bill Daley will tell you that

583
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: even everybody will tell you that he's always the smartest

584
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: man in the room. And that's that's key, and which

585
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: surprised me because when they got when the NHL hired

586
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 3: he was the number three guy at the NBA. Remember

587
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: David Stern was in charge at that time, and in

588
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: the NHL went and got him rather than the number

589
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: two guy, which is now running the NBA, and the

590
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: NHL picked the right guy.

591
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: Clearly they did. Yeah, well we talked about this before.

592
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: Not everybody was on board and they started, all right,

593
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: what are we gett a basketball guy for? You know?

594
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: They did, yeah, But a lot of that was because

595
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: older guys right the words and for that Norris and Jennings,

596
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: they weren't there at the time. Jennings wasn't and he

597
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: was dead at the time, I think. But those guys

598
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: the old guard you to really run the league. And

599
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: then the change when Geary came in, then he ran,

600
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: he runs the league.

601
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: Who is the team to beat this year?

602
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: And you still got to say Florida, although you know

603
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: there's there's some good ones. Colorado's going to be good.

604
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be good again. Dallas should

605
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: be good, Carolina is going to be good. They it's

606
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: it's again, who's going to be healthy? When you're going

607
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: through this, you have to remember a lot of these

608
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: teams like Florida have got a lot of players playing

609
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: in the Olympics because they're so players from other places,

610
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: So there is going to be There are going to

611
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: be injuries. They're always are in the Olympics. Now, question,

612
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: you've never seen one where somebody doesn't get seriously hurt.

613
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: And lot's going to do change a lot?

614
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 3: Who's healthy? Yeah, very true.

615
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: Uh, let's do this. Let's get one more pause in.

616
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: We got time for Louis to hang to the top

617
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: of the six o'clock hour. A lot of good texts

Speaker 2: in studio till the top of the hour. Here's an

626
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: interesting one. Did Louis ever get fined? I think the

627
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: answer to that is obvious. I bet you got fined

628
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: a bunch.

629
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but a lot.

630
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: But was it? What's the most you ever remember being fined?

631
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: Twenty five twenty five grand? What did you do?

632
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: That was after the Boston game? And yeah, wild game.

633
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: I mean the North Storry.

634
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: Game could have paid for the Milan Olympics. Well, yeah

635
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: it could.

636
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 3: But I didn't realize he was putting me on probation.

637
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 3: So if I behaved after a couple of years, immediately, yeah,

638
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: I thought I was dead, but he said, that's it.

639
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: Twenty five thousand, you're fine, young up on me.

640
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: That was all. So you actually thought it was gonna

641
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: be worse. He thought there's gonna be yeah, but you know,

642
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: I just yeah, twenty five grands for that that was

643
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: a long time ago. That's pretty good money.

644
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: I know.

645
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean he put me on.

646
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 3: He didn't say that was on probation.

647
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: He didn't take it after Oh I see. He basically said,

648
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: if you if you act up again, then I'll have

649
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: the reason to take the twenty and say that.

650
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 3: Okay, he just that's it, You're fine twenty five because

651
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: he wanted sonomore night. They appear in front of him

652
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 3: the following day, I sing, it's good, and you make

653
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: sure the Boston's got sending and chievers.

654
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: And there will Well, did you guys duke it out? No?

655
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: But we never went, never went. He wouldn't.

656
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: He got so mad at me. So that's the twenty

657
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: five thousand, you're not coming in and just.

658
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: And that was it.

659
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: That was it.

660
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: But he never collected or no.

661
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: No, Well if he did, he got it from the team.

662
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: You didn't know any better. Does Louis know Geela France?

663
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: We had him in Roseville Hockey School in the seventies.

664
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: He came up in conversation a while ago. We're all

665
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: curious why he was even in Minnesota because he's not

666
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: from here.

667
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: Well, his friends are here. He's living in Louisville now,

668
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: oh okay, and he was just up here, Yeah, visiting

669
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: a lot of guys like cart Miller, Murray Winston had

670
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 3: just passed away. That a lot of guys that he

671
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: hung around. Bob Curry, they're still here and I think

672
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 3: he might have his daughters here. That's why he was

673
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: up visiting.

674
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: Okay, are Boldie at seven mil ROSSI at five steal millions?

675
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: Steals enough to overcome the seventeen million dollar handcuffs and

676
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: allow the While to compete in the near term.

677
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: Hey, first of all, yeah, they're worth it, that's not

678
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: a problem. And there's no handcuffs. They still have five

679
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: million cap space. That's what people are forgetting. There's no handcuffs.

680
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: Every team's going to have a few expensive players. Fortunately

681
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: for the while they're expensive, other guys are all younger

682
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: and on their contracts and are already signed, so they're

683
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: not like dry Sittles getting twelve million and Bouchard's probably

684
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: getting ten or twelve on Edmonton. So it's something when

685
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: if you were going to pay McDavid seventeen. So the

686
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: Wild aren't in that position yet, So they don't have

687
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: any handcuffs. And because of the way the cat's moving,

688
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: they're not going to have any handcuffs. The way things

689
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 3: are moving, right.

690
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 2: Now, Ray checking in from a beautiful downtown Hopkins. So

691
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was beautiful downtown, but it

692
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: is Hopkins. He says, how long was training camp when

693
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 2: you were GM? Seems like the Wild were in camp

694
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 2: for about two days and exhibition games then regular season.

695
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: How can Wild management even you know, legitimately evaluate players

696
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: given the short window.

697
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's a good point. We were in camp.

698
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 3: I think it was twenty six, twenty seven days, twelve

699
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: exhibition games twelve twelve. Yeah, and we used to we

700
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 3: used to get one off, you know, we'd basically have

701
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: one off. But and we went for camp for a

702
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: long time. We'd report around September fifth. It seemed like

703
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: we were we were in camp all September and then

704
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: they get dark October the season will start.

705
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: So when you play twelve preseason games, did you guys

706
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: play them all?

707
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 5: Was it?

708
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: What was there? Was there?

709
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: Load eleven? Usually play eleven? Really no no load management.

710
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: In fact, the worst part you talk about load management.

711
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 3: We go to camp. We weren't in shape, like these

712
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 3: guys are shape. Yeah, you know, so, uh, I think

713
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: punch him luck one time told the guys to be

714
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: ready for camp. Come and bring your golf clubs, you know,

715
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: but when you got to camp, they killed you. That's

716
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 3: the difference. These camps are easier than our camps. The

717
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: first Yeah, well you want to see hard camps. We

718
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 3: never touched the puck for the first two days. Yeah,

719
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: all we get in the ice for an hour and

720
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: a half to two hours and just skate and not skape.

721
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: Guys be throwing up all of these players, I mean

722
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 3: just se so they'd let you go home for lunch.

723
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: So we get maybe an hour to lie down, lie

724
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: down and get back and then they punish you again.

725
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 3: And and you did to two day's all drew in camp,

726
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: not just one day. He might even have practice in

727
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 3: the morning, play at night against somebody. It was just

728
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: it was it was not good. I mean we weren't

729
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 3: good because we were in very good shape. But the

730
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: funniest part was, you know, we'd have guys and Blair

731
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: was always trying to be this innovative guy. And early

732
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 3: on we used to go up to Heliburton. On Terry

733
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: wondered why we go to Heliburton because he owned the camp.

734
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 3: It was a kid's camp or hockey school, and the

735
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 3: beds were like army corts and you know, I'm and

736
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 3: we're all in one room, like eighteen of us and

737
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: maybe even one kid. One. Yeah, they were like dorms.

738
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 2: Right.

739
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: Moose Vask who's Alma, was my partner. You know, he's

740
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 3: six three, two hundred and fifty pounds and he's on

741
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: these marble How could he sleep in his cot?

742
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: So he put he put his.

743
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 3: On the floor. He put the mattress on the floor.

744
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't have to sleep in the floor

745
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 3: because he couldn't fit in the cot.

746
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: The cot was not big enough for his body. No,

747
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 2: And then you know, you weren't supposed to have anything days. Man,

748
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 2: you don't have any beer.

749
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 1: And they.

750
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: They'd have like one barn town it's off limits, and

751
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: they report the back to rent. Yes, we smuggled it in.

752
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: And and one night Goldie's coming along because he went

753
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,439
Speaker 3: to get it, and he's coming down and Ren's got

754
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 3: his brother and his scouts and all that. You got

755
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: about five cars lined up on each side of the road.

756
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: There's a gravel road going into it. Because we're in a.

757
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 2: You know, like a camp, yeah, really a camp.

758
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,600

Speaker 3: couple of days of beer getting fined again, you know.

762
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean we'd have taxi drivers drop it off in

763
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 3: the woods. That just you couldn't get anything to drink

764
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: those days. They didn't give you what my first my

765
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: first training camp, they wouldn't let me drink water when

766
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: you get thirsty. You couldn't have water dreaming practice or

767
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: a game. You could not drink water. Drink from the

768
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 3: Olympic team where you got all the good doctors and

769
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 3: everybody else. They hydrate you. And I went to get

Speaker 3: some water, and jack horns, what are you doing. I

771
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,560

772
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: so you couldn't drink water.

773
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, think about it.

774
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god. It was just so different.

775
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: That's a long time ago. What was the percentage then

776
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 2: of teammates that smoked.

777
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: I'd say sixty seventy percent.

778
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: That's what I thought it was.

779
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 3: In the locker room during the game. I mean, finally

780
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: the North starts. We were smart because we had a

781
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 3: big room. The second room we had nowadays, he got

782
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 3: all gyms, and then we used to have a pool table,

783
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: pink punk table. We didn't have any lights or anything,

784
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: and that's where the guys used to have to After

785
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 3: a while, we told them they they gotta go smoke

786
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: in the back room. They can't smoke around us.

787
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: That's too good. That that was.

788
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 3: That was just the way that was about it. No,

789
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 3: that was your back up, your backup goaltender was the trainer. Yeah,

790
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: a lot of times, you know, you know, like Lefty

791
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 3: Wilson in Detroit played a lot of games. Because there's one.

792
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: Were you ever? Were you ever a heater guy? I

793
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: don't remember smoker you ever?

794
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: Know?

795
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: You never know.

796
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 3: I'll see your cigar now.

797
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: But yeah, not you or not no, because it was

798
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: very ordinary back then. Yeah, well pictures, I mean baseball

799
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 2: players you go into clubhouses all the time.

800
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gump on the plane to smoke like Coagen. I

801
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 3: mean he was so nervous, He's just he's out with

802
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 3: a cigarette in his end.

803
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: Somebody wants to know whether there were ash trays on

804
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 2: the benches. Probably worked in the locker room. Had to

805
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: be ash trays, right, No, they put they what they

806
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 2: do in the cup. Okay, yeah, they couldn't be that. Yeah, well,

807
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 2: somebody's saying, you know, once upon a time there were

808
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 2: coaches who said waters for the week. Yeah, right, it

809
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: really is true that. So that was the thinking then was, yeah,

810
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 2: you want to we want to toughen you, but smoke

811
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 2: him if you got them. But smoke them if you

812
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: got them. Yeah, I mean, well Blair when you think

813
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: about it, well you mentioned.

814
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: Blair on the Here We're playing in Montreal one night

815
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 3: and they're all over us, and he turns around facing

816
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: the crowd behind the bench with the glass and puts

817
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: his hands up in the glass and he says, just

818
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 3: tell me when they score, just tell me when they store.

819
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

820
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that's too that's just that's just too good.

821
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: Those are the days. And by the way, how many

822
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 2: back in the day when you said players didn't work

823
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: out in the off season they had to get in

824
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: shape for the first couple of weeks of training camp.

825
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 2: How many of them had other jobs because then the

826
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: money wasn't that lowered. So a lot of them, that

827
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: was a lot of it was I'm working another job.

828
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: I don't have time, I don't to hire a full

829
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: I can't afford a full time trainer, and I can't

830
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: train because I got another job.

831
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 3: Well, I I was a unique guy because I did

832
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: work on the summer, but I had another job all

833
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: over for ten years. You know. I always thought that

834
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: I was only going to play three years in quit

835
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 3: and we'll go back to work. So I never wanted

836
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 3: to not work. So I signed that for contract was

837
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: as I said, it was a personal service contract, and

838
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 3: it gave the north Stars the right to sell me

839
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 3: to any company, and I had to go sell for them,

840
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: and the north Stars kept the money. So they did

841
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 3: that for the first three years, and then when I

842
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: worked on my own in the next seven years and

843
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 3: I got paid.

844
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: You're always ahead of You were always one step ahead

845
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: even to be I mean, it's unbelievable. Even when you

846
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: were wearing those beautiful plaid blazers.

847
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 3: I used to get those from Belliston's. I made it

848
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: deal with Bellisons for the state tournament. I get these

849
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 3: wild great store bell Man. God to love that store.

850
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 2: Jay Berrera, my dad used to I mean he would

851
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 2: buy out the store when he would come in. But

852
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff at Bellison's that was good. Yeah,

853
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: the blazer we're talking about was from some sound we

854
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: played earlier, you and Chico Rash. This was going back

855
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: forty some years Stanley Cup finals. We think right at theah.

856
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: No, that wasn't the finals, So I think I worked

857
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: the finals, but I think I think that was the

858
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 3: first or second round.

859
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay exactly. And you guys are just one upping each other.

860
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: Are just hammered around each other during one of the

861
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: intermission interviews. And the blazer I retweeted it. Now the

862
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: blazer you have on is just classic. This is timeless.

863
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: I think it's the word. Yeah. I want to get

864
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: one of those hats. I wish I did. Someone I

865
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,960

Speaker 2: did text me Saturday morning. Was he already back then?

885
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 5: No?

886
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: Oh, In fact, I'll read you the text, so I'm

887
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: sure it's not privileged. It's not privileged. No. I was

888
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: doing the Gopher pregame show on Fox nine from outside

889
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: Ohio Stadium and he sent me a picture. Oh, they're

890
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 2: watching it. They found a place to watch it. Well,

891
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 2: just on the phone on Fox Local Ice, he said,

892
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: watching pregame show in a transit van along Lake Como

893
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: after leaving the Swiss Alps, is what he said. So

894
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: that was Saturday. I don't know if his bragging, his

895
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: usual brack, is what he was doing a little bit,

896
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: but it's nice that they're so locked in on the

897
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 2: Gopher pregame. So yeah, yeah, I guess that part of

898
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: it's true too. Danner Morgan now a part of the

899
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: Goper pregames. I saw that. Yeah, so good. Yeah he's

900
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 2: been He's just kind of moved right in. Huh. Yeah,

901
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 2: it's great. I had a couple of other texts I

902
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: wanted to get to hear. This is from the Midgie

903
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: bricklayer guy. That's an interesting moniker. So he worked with

904
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: an old bricklayer in the early nineties that used to

905
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: say water is a sign of weakness. I came from

906
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: the Middle East and we drank a gown a day.

907
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: That's the Midgie bricklayer guy. Yeah, it was. I mean,

908
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: how do you say it? It sounds preposterous now and

909
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: you know criminal, right, it sounds uncivilized. But it was

910
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: a different time, yes, and we were stupid, you know,

911
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: or or people. It was all in the aim of toughness,

912
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: it was, and I think we've learned there's still a way,

913
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 2: a way, an effective way to try to bring out

914
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: the toughness in all of us without deprid of water.

915
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: If that's not it. Somehow it became like, well, you

916
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 2: must be out of shape, because if you were in shape,

917
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 2: you wouldn't need water. It's crazy. That's the part I

918
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: don't get how that could have ever been developed as

919
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: a thing among coaches. And because they did have trainers

920
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: kind of, I mean they weren't obviously as as knowledgeable

921
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: or sophisticated, but they kind of were trainers. Right, you'd say,

922
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't know who changed that. Who is there one

923
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 2: person we can look at and say they were ahead

924
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: of their time and said, we're all you guys are

925
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: all idiots attempting to punish athletes by depriving them of water,

926
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: not you know, uh, diet coke, not booze. That figure out.

927
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: But you can smoke during the game, that's it. But water.

928
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if there was one. I mean, I remember

929
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: the old the original Gatorade commercials. That's what I wonder.

930
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: I do remember, though, did they start to turn might have?

931
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: They might have? And And was Gatorade because it was

932
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: it was formed in you know, at the I think

933
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 2: it was at the University of Florida exactly. But I'm

934
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: wondering if there's a coach we can say this guy

935
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: is a hero because he fought off this nonsense and

936
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 2: and and would refused to play this stupid game. What's

937
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: crazy about it now is most weight loss, most performance,

938
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: most just living. First thing they'll say is hydrations, like

939
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: number one. It's like hydration and sleep are the two

940
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 2: big things, right, JJ McCarthy just talked about it. I

941
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: don't nobody wants him to play quarterback anymore, but a

942
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,479
Speaker 2: month ago he was the starting quarterback. Maybe he should

943
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 2: just be a team spokesperson rather quarter eight a PR guy. Yeah,

944
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: because Kos's bitter about talking now too. He yes, but

945
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: he said the number one thing he learned from Tom

946
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 2: Brady was hydration. The importance of hydration. Now Brady might

947
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: be the extreme.

948
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: Yes.

949
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: Also, the guy looks younger every year. He won fifty

950
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowls and he played until he was fifty two

951
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 2: years old. What's Brady's water of choice?

952
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 3: Do we?

953
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 2: It's got to be fancy. You've never heard of it. Yeah,

954
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure I've never heard of it, And I'm guessing

955
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 2: he has it like pumped into his his his palatial estate. Yeah,

956
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: you know, special pipes, special pipes. Yeah, don't that no

957
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 2: one else could even afford or even understand. He's got

958
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 2: his own dynamic drips dot Com probably Yeah, he probably

959
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: has his own IV and he just he didn't even

960
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 2: need to drink water because he's always hydrated. Speaking of

961
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: the Wolves have a game tonight preseason game crewit I do.

962
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 2: I think the Pacers it's here Target Center. The other

963
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: thing is Sam Mitchell's coming to town this weekend. I'm

964
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 2: confused by it. I'm trying to figure out. I don't think.

965
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he's coming into Saturday. Okay, I think

966
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 2: he's in at least in part because the Curious XM

967
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: Crew training Camp tour. They're doing the tour and they

968
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: don't go everywhere where the air, and I think it's

969
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: I think it's Isola and Mitchell coming in Saturday. And

970
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna do anything live or

971
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna tape stuff, So I'm gonna I don't even know.

972
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: If I reached out to Isola again, he would acknowledge me,

973
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 2: because as sam as uh minisrtis said, he's you're pretty

974
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: much dead to him because I wasn't there for him

975
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 2: to do one interview because I had just gotten off

976
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 2: a flight to go to Kawai. Yeah, and it was

977
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 2: my mistake. I guess that I didn't return to you know,

978
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 2: I didn't respond quickly enough. Well maybe this is the time.

979
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: Well I'm hoping that you can all gather. Yeah, that'd

980
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: be nice. Barry the hatchet because the Wolves are going

981
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: to be good again. I think the fanas learned we're

982
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: gonna need to pump up our NBA coverage, and we

983
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: really got Sam. I will say, I am very curious

984
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: to see, you know, now you got NBA back on NBC.

985
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see what the tenor of their

986
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 2: coverage is going to be, because what I sense is

987
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: they want to kind of be the anti ESPN. They

988
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: they want to present a very different broadcast that I think,

989
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 2: at least in theory, they believe is going to be

990
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 2: less trite, a little less manufactured controversy, and we'll cover stuff,

991
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: but we're gonna we're gonna try to make it a

992
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 2: little bit more informative and a little less worried about

993
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 2: stupid stuff like what's going to be the legacy of

994
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: so and so that kind of thing. If the Wolves

995
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 2: lose Game three, what does that say about exactly exactly?

996
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: So we'll see where that, you know, I'm kind of

997
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: curious to see where that goes as one of their guys,

998
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 2: the kid. We saw him on Saturday and Columbus. He

999
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: came in and we chatted for a little while. What

1000
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: a dude, That's what I've heard. I mean, what what

1001
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 2: a dude? Well, they have an interesting mix of player

1002
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: ex players. Jordan's got some role, but his role is

1003
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 2: more mysterious. But they've got a bunch of I mean,

1004
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 2: don't they have. Isn't mellow? I think car Mellows in

1005
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: the group. I think Vince Carter's in the group. Scalabrini

1006
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 2: is in the group. It's a very interesting mix. So

1007
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: we'll see where that goes as we ratchet things up.

1008
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: For sure, I had one other item that I wanted

1009
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: to men something in my Marty from Richfield writes Dan Brady.

1010
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that Brady hydrates with reverse osmosis unicorn blood.

1011
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 2: That wouldn't surprise me. No, I'm sure he's tried it,

1012
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 2: at least at the very least. Correct. So we got

1013
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: Vikings are off this week, right, correct? And the division

1014
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 2: like the Bears are Monday night game, so it's gonna

1015
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: be another thin week. Well, I assume the Packers are

1016
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: back in action. They have to be and I don't

1017
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 2: even know about the Lions. I'm not sure, but we

1018
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: have the I hate Buys. I want football. I don't

1019
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 2: want the Vikings to play every week. It's tough, but

1020
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean I know that's not realistic, especially after the

1021
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 2: big road trip. We'll get to see for tomorrow. He'll

1022
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: file a live report on the ten days. I think

1023
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: he was there almost two weeks. Packers get the Bengals

1024
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: and Lambo. Oh is that right? That's a tough one.

1025
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: They'll kill him Flacco, They'll they'll sack him. NA played

1026
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: Jake Browning. Yeah, yeah, I think that. Uh well, I

1027
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 2: mean we arem assuming that that that Flacco is going

1028
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 2: to start right away. I don't know if that's been

1029
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 2: established it, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if

1030
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 2: they do. They might be bitter enough with Browning to say,

1031
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 2: let's just try uh somebody else as well. Lions at

1032
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City Sunday night, fool this week. That's a nice

1033
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: little match. How about you doubted the Jags? They're pretty good.

1034
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 2: It be case. Did you see how you did you

1035
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: see the game winning scramble? Yeah? By what's the name

1036
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville quarterback? Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence, Ill Hunter Lawrence.

1037
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 2: The baseball play, Yeah, he falls down. Not his fault alignment.

1038
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: I think it was the right guard tripped them trying

1039
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 2: to pull out of there, and then he goes down

1040
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 2: to the ground and found a way to score the game.

1041
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: When we touched on, wasn't there a pick six that

1042
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: Mahomes threw for one hundred yards in that game? I

1043
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: think that's right. There was a pick six. The district

1044
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: were up, Yeah, and then the Jags came back. He

1045
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 2: had the city window. I don't know. Maybe it's uh,

1046
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: it's starting to close one other quick Covenant clean up item.

1047
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: As we predicted yesterday, Lebron James did not announce his

1048
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 2: retirement today. I think everybody could kind of see what

1049
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 2: was coming, that it was going to be a bit.

1050
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: I think this is for It's a Booze connection, Yeah,

1051
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: isn't it. I can't remember what I did. I know

1052
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 2: we've been running updates on it today. I didn't even

1053
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 2: click on it. Yeah, I knew, and I'm not mad

1054
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: at all either. People were going crazy, like ticket sales

1055
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 2: for the last Laker game through the roof the only

1056
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: thing I thought I guess was possible was I'm going

1057
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: to do the retirement tour, so I'm going to announce

1058
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: this is going to be my last year. But it

1059
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 2: looked pretty clear. I think most people saw through it

1060
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: right away and it said this is going to be

1061
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: the bit it's going it's going to be something commercial,

1062
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: which is what it was. He'll definitely do the two though, right.

1063
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: I would be shocked if he doesn't. He just and

1064
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: I'm not ripping him. Everybody likes their attention, different doesn't. Yeah,

1065
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: but he definitely likes the spotlight, right. I don't see

1066
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: him just fading them all. No, in really unassuming fashion.

1067
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 2: I don't think that's likely at all. Maybe I'll save

1068
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: my WNBA item because it's likely to get links fans

1069
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 2: going again, So maybe I'll save it for tomorrow. Let's

1070
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 2: come back, wrap things up, remind you what you missed.

Speaker 2: his way to I don't know. Is this the grand

1083
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: reopening or has it already been opened a little for

1084
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 2: a while of Chee Cheese. Yes, it's been the rebranding

1085
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 2: of Chee Cheese. They did a soft opening over the

1086
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: weekend and now I think it's been open. Yeah, So yeah,

1087
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 2: the Rojo at West End is now che Cheese. That's

1088
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: exactly it. So we'll see how that's an interesting thing.

1089
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 2: They are affiliated with Tavern twenty three, so there's a relationship.

1090
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: There is a connection there too. So I'm sure he's

1091
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 2: getting the fried ice cream fan and demand tonight after

1092
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: we're done, and then it's Dan Patrick Knight. Tomorrow's show

1093
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: is chocked full Kessler guards, he says, is back. He's

1094
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: filing a live report from on his trip to Italy.

1095
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 2: See how many fights he got into. Seaffert will give

1096
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 2: us a li I report. I hope in studio, but

1097
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: either way, on his trip to Dublin and London, he

1098
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: got back yesterday. Okay, and then mace in your face.

1099
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 2: I'm assuming from Fargo again. Exactly right. That confirmed. It's confirmed,

1100
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 2: he texted me on Sunday. Okay, fair enough, he's become

1101
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: Fargo guy. One hundred percent. Finish with this text. I'm

1102
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 2: not supposed to tell people it's like fight club, so

1103
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,280
Speaker 2: don't save my number. But I completed the USMC Infantry

1104
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 2: Officer Course in twenty ten in Quantico, Virginia. We had

1105
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 2: one field exercise that was deliberate about denying us water

1106
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: and show. It was called Human Factors fex It was fun.

1107
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 2: We'd call for resupply. We get either one quarter or

1108
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 2: what we requested or nothing or two days late. Great time.

1109
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 2: It's all about understanding and combat. We cannot get all

1110
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 2: the things we need in time that I get. Of course,

1111
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 2: under those conditions, I understand that you may have to

1112
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: test the individual so that they are better prepared for,

1113
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, not having access to simple things like like water.

1114
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 2: I'd like to think it's a little different, however, on

1115
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 2: a on a football field, correct very different, extremely different. Yeah,

1116
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 2: at all levels. I would certainly hope you hear my

1117
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 2: Hoosiers any shot they have Oregon the original spread, the

1118
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: spread's moved from ten to seven seven and a half.

1119
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: I haven't seen Oregon enough. Yeah, they're good. I think

1120
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 2: they're legit. So it's there too, right, it's there. That's

1121
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 2: a factor two thirty game, Yeah, and a big one

1122
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: for the Hoosiers for all the obvious reasons they played.

1123
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 2: You know, they got handled in two significant games against

1124
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: significan opponents last year, right, Ohio State during the season

1125
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: and then obviously Notre Dame in the playoff game, so

1126
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 2: they you could argue need it, you know, even though

1127
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 2: you know they certainly took care of business against l Illinois,

1128
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: dominated them. But this is an organ's good. They're cut above.

1129
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 2: Uh you got homecoming right that eleven? Yeah, a lot

1130
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,439
Speaker 2: of Gophers coming back for that one. The players, Yeah,

1131
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 2: players like two hundred. Seriously is the number? Yeah, two hundred.

1132
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 2: I had. I can't tell you how many texts I

1133
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 2: had from our tweets from people when the Gophers went

1134
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 2: up three to zero, say't better get ready, You're gonna

1135
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 2: be on the air at five am. And I tried

1136
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 2: to say, calm down a little bit. It was a

1137
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: great first drive. It was I mean, they were ready,

1138
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 2: it was clinical, I mean, and then he's out there conducting. Yeah,

1139
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: he was almost had a touchdown. They get him to

1140
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 2: punt in the first drive. And this is I'll be

1141
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 2: self deprecating because all day I'm like, I just have

1142
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: this weird feeling they're going to play well. And then

1143
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 2: Penn State's losing to use esay and all this crazy

1144
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 2: stuff is happening. We're watching the two thirty window. I'm like,

1145
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 2: I just have a feeling they're going to play well.

1146
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 2: That lasted tenutes. And then it was even text me

1147
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 2: and goes, well, your feeling lasted ten minutes. I said, yeah,

1148
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 2: well they still haven't allowed anybody to hit double digits.

1149
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 2: I don't think they're really goosively, they're really good. They

1150
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: didn't Gophers didn't play great. They played horribly. I thought, yeah,

1151
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 2: but I don't I don't know that it would have

1152
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 2: mattered in any case produce. I think a little more

1153
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 2: uh beatable. Here's the month right here, at these next

1154
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: four games. It's a big month long stretch. Nebraska Michigan

1155
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 2: State on the road. This is equivalent to the Vikings

1156
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 2: first five. Yeah, where you've got to take you got

1157
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 2: to take advantage of it, and you have the opportunity

1158
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 2: to to uh uh to indeed do it. So we'll

1159
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 2: get to a lot of that with Mace on tomorrow's

1160
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 2: broadcast as well. And well we're back, you know obviously

1161
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 2: with Hockey upon us. Uh Louis it will be joining

1162
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 2: us every week. Russo will once again be joining us

1163
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 2: every week. He's joining Thursday five o'clock from Yes, what

1164
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 2: else do I have this week?

1165
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 6: Oh?

1166
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 4: Uh?

1167
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 2: Patrick Royce he's going to join in studio next Monday.

1168
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 2: This is sort of a leftover. We usually get them

1169
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 2: on at the fair and it we ran out of

1170
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 2: Daze because of some scheduling issues. So he's going to

1171
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 2: stop by between four and five on Monday. His name

1172
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 2: came up when we chatted with with Ron Coomer, and

1173
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: as I said, I think I don't I don't remember

1174
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 2: the date, but it's coming eight, his eightieth birthday. I

1175
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 2: don't think he's doing a big production, at least not

1176
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: that he's aware of. I don't know if anybody is

1177
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: surprising him at this point. But yeah, still obviously pretty

1178
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 2: much going strong. You're ready for the twenty twenty nine

1179
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 2: Ryder Cup. It's no question about that. Can you blame him?

1180
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 4: No?

1181
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 2: How you going to the Wolves preseason game? I'm going

1182
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 2: to miss it tonight, Yeah, I am too. Is it

1183
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 2: Is it televised tonight?

1184
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 6: You know?

1185
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 2: I think I assume it's on the Timberwolves channel. Yes,

1186
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 2: not on the fan, but on the Timberworld channel. Yeah,

1187
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 2: I think, so let me double check. I would hope

1188
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 2: we think. I think I think McDaniel's the only guy

1189
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 2: not playing tonight, correct personal main guys. Yeah, so we'll

1190
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 2: see how it goes. We had a good, uh half

1191
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 2: hour plus with Mike Conley, who's definitely not given up

1192
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 2: the position without a fight. That that, by the way,

1193
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: can be very clear. So I'm I'm buying what he said.

1194
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 2: What everybody you know, if you're gonna play him, you

1195
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 2: got to let him have the ball more. That's the issue.

1196
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 2: That's what makes this challenging because they're just ha ingim

1197
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 2: sitting in the corner. That's really not getting, you know,

1198
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: anything out of what he has left. Thanks for watching,

1199
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 2: Thank you indeed for listening, and we will talk to

1200
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: you tomorrow. Three
