1 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: There's nothing like live hockey. Experienced Minnesota Wild action at 2 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: Grand Casino Arenal all season long, securre seats now at 3 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: wild dot com, slash tickets and join the excitement. 4 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: The media tried. 5 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 3: Their best tend to be prior to the game, in 6 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 3: particularly after the game. 7 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 2: Sam, everybody doubted you. What do you want to say 8 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: to those people? It's Sam, much like Denny Green, the 9 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: late Denny Green, did the high road. You know, I 10 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: care about us today being in locker room with those guys. 11 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: You know, he never because you know he, let's face it, 12 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: he'd received plenty of doubters out there. They know who 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: they are. There's a lot of them here in town 14 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: and pretty much all across the National Football League, those 15 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: that followed the league and offer opinions. But I liked 16 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: that he took the high road to to me. Not 17 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: once did he say like Rogers, yeah, it was good 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: to beat that franchise. A lot of people over there 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: didn't think I could play anymore. You know, for Rogers, 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 2: he would never let it something like you know, well, 21 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: when he was first drafted, he wanted to be drafted 22 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: by his hometown team of San Francisco. He went to 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: twenty four and they asked him what he thought about it, 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: and I remember the exact quote. It's out there. We 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: could find it if we dug around for it, but 26 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: just paraphrase, and you basically say, I'm gonna show them 27 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: that they made a mistake. They doubted me, But now 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: I'm here, and I think San Francisco has done just 29 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: fine over the years without a Rodgers. As a matter 30 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: of fact, if you go back to when A Rodger 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: was drafted and compare the the season by season between 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: San Francisco and Green Bay. I don't know, I Green Bay. 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: You know, they had nice runs where they went to 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: NFC championship games, but let's face it, the final result 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: of how many big games do you win? Us kind 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: of where it's all at, and maybe they won more. 37 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: I don't know when was the last time San fran 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: won a big game? I don't know. Maybe maybe it 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: has been better for Rogers when he was in the 40 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: Green Bay, but uh, yeah, he did not a lot. 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: They haven't won one recently, even though they've been around. Yeah, 42 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: so very similar green We've had lots of chances that yeah. 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, while Rogers held a grudge chip on his shoulder. Now, 44 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: Sam really deep down could feel that way. He could feel, well, 45 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: why didn't the Vikings offer me a three year deal? 46 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: He may have been a little I. 47 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: Don't remember the nineteen ninety four versus the Chargers last 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: time they won one. Wow, they've been in three okay 49 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: since then. 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: I didn't realize it's been that long. 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: They lost the Chiefs in overtime just in twenty twenty three. 52 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: The loss was right, he won a big game and 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: they didn't. 54 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: Lost the Chiefs in twenty nineteens. 55 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: There you go, Aaron got the last last. 56 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: And then of course the Hardbob Bowl back in twenty 57 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: twelve they lost to the Ravens. And they've also been 58 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: in like multiple conference championships as well on top of that. 59 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: So they've been very Green Bay Packer like, except not 60 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: quite as successful because they haven't won one. Green Bay 61 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: won one in twenty ten. They didn't. They haven't won 62 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 2: They won their last one in ninety four. I remember 63 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: where I was in that nineteen ninety four one Tennabee. 64 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: It was my very first ever KFA and appearance. There 65 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: was a Super Bowl watch party over at do you 66 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: know where the Marriott is on the strip over by 67 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: the airport mal of America. There's a Marriott over there. 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: Maybe you don't know that. 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I know Mal Amerrika, but yeah I don't. 70 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: So they have a bar there, and I went there 71 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 2: for an appearance. Nobody showed up. The bar was basically empty. 72 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: The only people in there were like traveling salesmen and uh, 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: it's kind of quiet. General manager whoever, you know, whoever 74 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: was huh. So I expected a big rush pretty soon, 75 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: I suppose huh yeah, they'll be coming in droves to see. Uh, 76 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't even know if I was the 77 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: common man then, because that came a little bit of 78 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 2: COI yeah, it might have been just coolie at that point, 79 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: but that was and that was a beatdown, right Strtis 80 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: destroyed San Diego. I think that was like about a 81 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: twenty five. Yeah, just a beatdown. So I think I remember, 82 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: unless my memory is bad. Most early Super there were 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: some close ones, but it seems like in that first 84 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: twenty years there were more lopsided games than there were 85 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: close games. It seemed like maybe I'm a The first 86 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: two were lopsided. Green Bay destroyed Kansas City in the 87 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: first game, and they destroyed Oakland in the big game too. 88 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: The next one, the Jets won sixteen to seven. The 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: Vikings got beat pretty handily. Was it twenty three seven 90 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: the final? There? Maybe that's not a beatdown, beat down, 91 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: but that's that's that's a two score, that's two plus. 92 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: I guess if they would have been able to get 93 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: two tudies and they were only all they needed was 94 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: a touchdown two point commersion and an on side kick. 95 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: A touchdown at two point commersion on side kicked a tide. 96 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: It's all the Vikings needed. Super Bowl five was was 97 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: like a sixteen to thirteen. Do you remember all this 98 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: because when I was a kid, it was really important 99 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: to me, And after that I don't remember. I suppose 100 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: that was the run where Pittsburgh and Miami started going 101 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: in Dallas started going to their big games. 102 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: I think yep. 103 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: And were there some beatdowns in those games? 104 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: Or were Dallas beat Miami twenty four to three, Miami 105 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings twenty four seven, that's a beatdown. Oakland 106 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings thirty two to fourteen, that's a beat down. 107 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Dallas beat Denver twenty seven to ten, that's a beat down. 108 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: And for me, like as O kaid I just remember 109 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: like the I felt in the nineties, there were like 110 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: not a lot of close games. 111 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well there you can see, just blowouts. When was 112 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: the next closing that was twenty seven to ten? I 113 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: think you said, when was the next one that looked 114 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: like it might have been a game? 115 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't going, Oh, you weren't going season by season. 116 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: I was just telling you the ones that were blowouts. Okay, 117 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: but there were a number of them, and. 118 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: We still didn't The last time did Denver and Seattle? 119 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: Were they into a Super Bowl? Was like forty to six? 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: Denver and Seattle? 121 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, are they They're not in the same conference, 122 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: aren't they? 123 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Well they're not now used to be. They used to 124 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: be in the same conference. 125 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 2: I thought there was a Denver Seattle game that was 126 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: like forty to six. Maybe maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. 127 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: My memory so bad anyways, I don't know. I just 128 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 2: blame it on a whole multi colored galaxy of uppers 129 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: and downers and screamers and laughers. Maybe that's the wrong game. Denver. 130 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he'll ever been to a big game 131 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: until Russell Wilson to cover correct No. Two thousand and 132 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: six they lost to Pittsburgh. Okay, well, anyway, when they 133 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: were in the NFC, well they still in the NFC. 134 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: What am I talking about? But where were when were 135 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: there in the AFC. 136 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: That was back in the day Dave Craig days. That's 137 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: where they had a real rite. Yeah, that's where they 138 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: had a real rivalry with the Broncos. Where if you 139 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: go back to that, I'm assuming that would have been 140 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: mid to late eighties if you if you look back, 141 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: I think Denver and Seattle had a lot of that 142 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: was that was that was a huge rivalry back then. 143 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: I remember because that I was back in Wyoming and 144 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: we I've mentioned this before our radio station we were 145 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: we were an affiliate for the Denver Bronco Radio network 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: and so o wah. Yeah, and I remember Denver being 147 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: Denver and and and and uh Seattle. We we're quite 148 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 2: a rivalry and had a lot of really good games. 149 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: I saw this one says Denver and Seattle was like 150 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: twenty fourteen or something, Russell Peyton and it was beat 151 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: down by Seattle. 152 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Russell's. 153 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: First I just had the results were burst. I remember 154 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: there was a beat down between Seattle and Denver. It 155 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: was just a terrible football game. Uh this one says, well, 156 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: at least that experience of your first cafe and appearance 157 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: or nobody showed up prepared you well for flip, sweat 158 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: and tears. Speaking of that Saturday night, you talk about doubters, 159 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: tenn Toby. You know I mentioned that Sam Darnold had 160 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: a lot of doubters, But when he had the opportunity 161 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: to say you doubted me, but now I'm here, he didn't. 162 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: He took the high road. I just want to say, 163 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: I take it game by game, day by day, just 164 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: happy to being the guy. I love these guys in 165 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: the locker room, and we got more work to do. 166 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 2: He didn't go, Yeah, what did the Vikings think now 167 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 2: about letting offer me a pittance at seventeen million in 168 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: one year and making me have to despite the fact 169 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: that I went fourteen and three.

This one says, how come the forty 259 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: nine ers don't get any criticism that they let Darnald 260 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: walk to and beat them in the playoffs. Well, they 261 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: had an established quarterback, right, isn't Rock pretty considered? I 262 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: mean he's he's an established quarterback. He was their franchise quarterback, 263 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: and Sam had not. The Vikings had watched him go 264 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: to fourteen and three. Sam didn't play a snap for 265 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: San Francisco. He just watched. He was the backup quarter. Yea, 266 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: he may he may have done some mop up duty. 267 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's it's possible he played some, but 268 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: he didn't play. So how was San Francisco to know? 269 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: All they knew was what they saw him in the 270 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: quarterback room and running the scout team. He was just 271 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: like everybody likes to have a backup. Was an experience. Hey, 272 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: Darnald's played in the league. He came highly regarded coming out. 273 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: Gotta have somebody in the back. Well, that's why they're 274 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: not catching any heat. They had a quarterback. Now, if 275 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: they didn't have Rock Purdy, if they had had who 276 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: is the guy they traded all the picks for? And 277 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: then so let's say they had Trey Lance and decided 278 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: to keep going with him. Let's just say it instead 279 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: of Perdy was Lance and they let Darnag Gold, they'd 280 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: be catching heat. There's no reason for them to catch heat. 281 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I have the quotes and 282 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: I've saved them and I'm not going to read them again. 283 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: I can if you want me to. I need to 284 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 2: kill some time here. But darnold, he gave brock Purty 285 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: all the credit for He said, he taught me the 286 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: quarterback position, watching him every day in the quarterback room 287 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: in practice. How we prepped, how we did it, How 288 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: he never got too low, too high, he said. He 289 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: basically said, he oweses the resurgence of his career to 290 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: brock Purty. So I don't know so San Francisco had 291 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: there brock perty who sounds like he's a pretty good 292 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: pardon the pun mentor for quarterbacks as well. I mentioned 293 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: the So the Gophers I missed the first half Gophers 294 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: against Nebraska Saturday at the Barn.

That's why they played two halves. 299 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: Tannaby ah Nebraska again. I I think anybody who listens 300 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: to the show knows. I'm not an expert at any sport, 301 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: basketball certainly not. They look like they're for real. I mean, well, 302 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: you're twenty and oh, so it's not like I'm going 303 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 2: on on a limb. But I mean they the way 304 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: they just changed, at least that's what announcers guys were saying, 305 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: is the way they came and changed their whole approach 306 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: in the second half. They started playing with more energy, 307 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 2: they started to play with a little bit more purpose. 308 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: And of course the golfers at home, what happens, They're 309 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: gonna come out because we're gonna give me the old college, right. 310 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: They just I mean, it was just a complete and 311 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: total destruction. They went from trailing by six did they 312 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: win by twenty plus. I mean it was like a 313 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: thirty to thirty five point differential in the second half. 314 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: That's a good club.

But he wrote a nice piece. 342 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: I think it was Chip that wrote the piece on 343 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: On Hoiberg, and you talk about showing patients Tennabe his 344 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: record in the first three years at Nebraska, h I 345 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: should pull the story up his it's they were patient. 346 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: They you know, a lot of schools wouldn't go three 347 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 2: years without seeing some type of results, and there weren't many. 348 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: Let me find this. You can go ahead and give 349 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: me the Here it is. It is chip story. Here's 350 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: what it says. Heiberg's first three seasons in Lincoln produced 351 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 2: a twenty four and sixty seven record. Twenty four and 352 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: sixty seven. I don't think there's another university in the 353 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 2: country that would put up with a record like that, 354 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 2: and now they are twenty and oh, he says. Heiberg says, 355 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 2: I'm thankful. I always felt like I was the right 356 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 2: guy for this job. I hope I can continue for 357 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 2: a long time. His I think his parents went there 358 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: is what it said in this story. His parents went 359 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 2: to Nebraska. Both of his parents went to Nebraska. His 360 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 2: grandfather Jerry Bush, so both his parents went to Nebraska. 361 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: His grandfather, Jerry Bush coach the coach the uscar's basketball 362 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: team from nineteen fifty four to nineteen sixty three. Heiberg 363 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: loves Minnesota, tend to because he was a former Timberwolf. 364 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: And then remember he had to retire because he had 365 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 2: a bad heart. He had some heart surgery and couldn't 366 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 2: play anymore. And he is a young man, if you'll 367 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: remember that, he said, Minnesota is a special place to me. 368 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: The one place of stability for my kids and my 369 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: family was our lake house. Heiberg bought the lake home 370 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: in a membership at hazelt National Golf Club. And have 371 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 2: I ever told you how much I'd like Hoiberg, how 372 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 2: much he really means to me. And you know, if 373 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: he'd like to, I'd like to get to know him 374 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: a little bit better. 375 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: It's not off to get someone with the combination of 376 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: elite coach an elite person. Yeah, I mean, just the 377 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: perfect human being. 378 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: And you know, I really would like I think he 379 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 2: looks lonely and I'd like to get to know him 380 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: a little bit. And so you know, if I maybe 381 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: we could play a round or two or a couple 382 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen at Hazelte National. So yeah, he says. After 383 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: he bought the lake home and the membership at hazelteen 384 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: about the same time in two thousand and five, he goes. 385 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 2: Then two weeks later I found out I was going 386 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 2: to have open heart surgery. I recovered up at that 387 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: lake house. That's where I recovered from my procedure, the 388 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 2: surgery to repair in a ordic root. Aneurysm ended his 389 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 2: playing career. He veered down a different path in coaching, 390 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: with stints in the NBA. In college, he said, you 391 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 2: start moving all around. The one place that we created 392 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: so many memories as a family was up north. And 393 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: then he went through the twenty four and sixty seventh 394 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 2: season and now they're sitting at twenty and zero, best 395 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: starred in program history, ranked number seven nationally. That's the 396 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: highest ranking of program history. Here's what they were down 397 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 2: thirty six thirty. His son Sam is the starting guard 398 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: for the club. And you know, you oftentimes when you 399 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: see a coach of Sun play, you think is he 400 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: really playing for the right reasons? He is. This kid 401 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: can flat out play. And he said, coaches jumped on us. 402 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 2: They thought they the Gophers were playing harder than us. 403 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: We challenge them hard at halftime, we kind of took turns. 404 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 2: Championship teams respond the right way. The Huskers tweaked their 405 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 2: defensive strategy, founder rhythm offensive lead to turn an eight 406 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: point deficit early in the second half into a blowout. 407 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: Hoiberg's team is legit. They have veteran experience to balance 408 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: lineup in an offensive system that is difficult to defend. 409 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a feel good story. And there's the 410 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 2: Minnesota connection. 411 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: Well, and I'm looking at the history of Nebraska basketball. 412 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: Yep. 413 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: They've never advanced past the first round of the NCAA tournament. Correct, 414 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: They've made eight appearances, have never advanced once past the 415 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: first round. So Heiberg is not exactly the program he's 416 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: taken is taken over is literally one of the world 417 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: first in the history of college basketball. 418 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 2: Yes, correct, So there you go. 419 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: They're the only Power conference school to never win a 420 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: tournament game. 421 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: That's about to change, I think, Timmy well, but that's 422 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: why they play the games. 423 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: It's March managed. 424 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: There are Cinderella stories about Cinderella kids and coaches and 425 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 2: pumpkins and the whole thing.

Larry 441 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: Mundelo Guy, as a rose would say, Larry Mundelo guy, 442 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: And in this case it is Larry Mundela guy. And 443 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: in most of the cases Rosen says it, it is 444 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: Larry Mundela Guy. A gad fly. Amongst the best Tennaby 445 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 2: news that broke earlier today, Phil Rivers removes himself from 446 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: consideration for the Bill's head coaching job. According to sources, 447 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: I heard it because he wasn't guaranteed the starting job 448 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: he wanted, also the starting quarterback on the club. I 449 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: wish he would have taken the job and put himself 450 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: as the backup quarterback and then got to see action 451 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: because think about the time, it saves two without having 452 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: a you know, for the for the the offensive like 453 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: he'd probably be calling played right, my guess he would 454 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: be head coach and he's an offense in mine. So 455 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 2: instead of having to look at the play chart and 456 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: then signal to play, you know, talk to him in 457 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 2: the head said, okay, run sixty five toss power trap. 458 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: He just looks at his He looks at his well, ma, 459 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: he probably didn't even have to look at the wristband anymore. 460 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: He's got all the plays memorized. He just goes, we're 461 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 2: gonna run sixty five toss power trap. Here saves time. 462 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: But phil uh u, I would have wondered how, let's 463 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: say he did get the job and he wanted it, 464 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: how the marriage would have looked between him and Josh 465 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: Allen because they play quarterback differently. Yep, Philip might be 466 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: the biggest statue of a quarterback the league has ever seen, 467 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: like one of the least mobile quarterbacks. So he just 468 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: sits in the pocket and die sex things. Whereas Josh 469 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: Allen probably a top ten running quarterback in the history 470 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: of the National Football League, there's and he's he's really 471 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: unlike anyone else. Maybe Jalen Hurts is a little bit comparable, 472 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 1: but you know a guy who's just huge at the 473 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: position and it's great in sure yard situation. So you 474 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: would have you would think you would have a different game. 475 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: Would Philip Rivers design game plans that fit the way 476 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: he used to play quarterback as opposed to fitting to 477 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: what Josh Allen would do best. 478 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: My guess would be, and this is it he smart. 479 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 2: I guess you would adapt to whoever you have it. 480 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: You would hope so. 481 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: Were had experience knowing how Philip Rivers coaches, right, he 482 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: hasn't coached in the NFL. Or the other part of 483 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: this was do you think Philip's wife just said, you 484 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: can't do this. We got like twelve kids. Yet we 485 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: got twelve kids, I need your help. You cannot be 486 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: you can't be doing this. 487 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: I think that's uh, that's INTERESTINGCT possibility. I'm looking at 488 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: some of these eight Associated Press will do. They'll they'll 489 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: have like four main stories in each of the sports 490 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: that is going to you know, you know, NBA, NFL, 491 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 2: w n b A, whatever the case may be. They 492 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 2: have and they they don't involve the Wild, any of them. 493 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: But there's one that says it's Rangers. It says the 494 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: New York Rangers sell off that general manager Chris Drury 495 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 2: Warren Fans would be coming as a part of a 496 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 2: retooling process looks to be getting underway. 497 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: Defenseman Carson is it, SUSSI yeah, he used to play 498 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: for us. 499 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: He's being held out of the Rangers lineup against the 500 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 2: Bruins for roster management reasons. The Athletic reported a deal 501 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: sending him to Crosstown, New York Islanders. It's not I 502 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: mean they clear the Rangers get in return. Blah blah blah. 503 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: When is the trade deadline? Do we know? 504 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: Do we have any early March? If I had to 505 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: stay off the time my head, I would say March sex. 506 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: Will let me get the exact date for you, Yes, 507 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: March sixth, I think at two pm right during our show. 508 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 2: The person I trust most when it comes to the 509 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild is Tennebee. You're the guy. I mean, you know. Look, 510 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: with all due respect to to Russo and I love him, Tenneby, 511 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: you're my guy. I know you're You're paying much closer 512 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: attention to the National Hockey League in general, specifically the 513 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild. Do you have I think we all think 514 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 2: they're going to make a move, right because for all 515 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 2: the reasons you've stated before that you're kind of built 516 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: to win. Now, the Caprice off contract kicks in next year. 517 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 2: We got to try to sign Quinn during the off season, 518 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: so there's there's plenty of money. So whatever we have 519 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: under the cap now because we have money to spend 520 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: because suit or pre eazy that that those onerous deals 521 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: are gone, that's the right word. Now is the time 522 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 2: to spend a little bit of money. Right. We've talked 523 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: about do we still think we need a first line center? 524 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 2: I mean, what do you think And are there names 525 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 2: that you've heard or think would be available that the 526 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: Wild would want to pursue. Do you have anything? 527 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: So in terms of what the Wild need, goaltending seems 528 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: to be fine. And you got two of them. Now, 529 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: one of them could end up being traded away if 530 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: you really want to. If you want to go out 531 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: and get another big fish, you're probably gonna have to. 532 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: You know, Valstad's your best prospect to go now. Defensively, 533 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: when healthy, they're in pretty good shape. So you're still 534 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: looking at adding at the forward position. You can still 535 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: add one, maybe even two guys, clearly a top six forward, 536 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: ideally a center, but obviously those are the most expensive 537 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: guys to get, so they cost the most. But even 538 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: if you just don't want to go that route, you know, 539 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: face off penalty killing either. They still have one of 540 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: the worst penalty kills in hockey, and that seems to 541 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: be something that come playoff time. We've had series against 542 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: the Dallas Stars before where their powerplay takes us apart. So, yeah, 543 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned the Rangers. There's been kind of two names 544 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: that have been floated on the New York Rangers because 545 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: they're having an awful season. Wanted to be our Timmy Paneren, 546 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: who is not going to fill your center void. He's 547 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: not going to fill your penalty kill voids. He'd still 548 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: you'd still have to get someone else other than him, 549 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: but he could play in your top six. He's rushing 550 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: him and him and capriesoft for good friends. He's getting 551 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: up there in age a little bit, but it's still, 552 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, an over a point per game type player. 553 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: He's still in a He's not not great defensively, but 554 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: still he's an he's a great offensive player. Uh. The 555 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: other guy that might be a better fit off the 556 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: Rangers would be Vincent Trocheck. 557 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: What about Naron? What can you tell me about it? 558 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 2: I just talked about him, Oh you did. SR was 559 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 2: listening quick because I was actually just reading about him 560 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 2: now as you were literally just yeah, well, because I 561 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: was trying to I wanted to act like I was smart. 562 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: I was going to throw an amy there. So while 563 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 2: I was busy digging for. 564 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: It, you were talking about do we know his name 565 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: is Paneren? Could not be Panarin? It might be is 566 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 1: it our timmy ur temmy Panerin Now? 567 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 2: He signed an eighty one point five million dollar contract 568 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. He's set to be a free agent. 569 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's a rental Yeah, so that's why he's. 570 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: He counts to eleven point six million against the cap 571 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: and has a full no movement clause which allows him 572 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 2: to control where he goes. 573 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah right, Yeah, you might need the Rangers to keep 574 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: some of that money, but it's pro rated, come trade headline. 575 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: It's pro rated, So you're not spending that much money 576 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: on him. I thought I heard the wild could get 577 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: up up to like twelve million dollars worth of players 578 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: in return, just based on how it'll be pro rated 579 00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: at that point. But like I said, Paneren would add 580 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: your top six mightily right. You wouldn't have to have 581 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: guys like Marcus Johansson in your top six anymore. But 582 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: he would not fill your center void, he would not 583 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: fill your penalty kill voids. He'd still probably want to 584 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: get something else on top of him. But because he 585 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: is a free agent now, you're using him as a rental, 586 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: which frankly is probably at this point the best route 587 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: to go for the Wild because they have money now. 588 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: But Caprisofs contract kicks in next year. You're gonna want 589 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: to sign Quinn Hughes to an extension in the off season. 590 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: That's a priority. So while you're financially great for this season, 591 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: that might not be the case moving forward in a 592 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: couple of seasons if you can lock up Quinn Hughes. 593 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: So that's why guys like Paneren could potentially come here. 594 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: Like I said, he's really good buddies with caprisof Well. 595 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: Can't you tell me about Panerin just have to say it? 596 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: Sorry about that, but I say Tropcheck Vincent trow Check 597 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: on the team is more a fit for some of 598 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: the needs we have in terms of family killing and 599 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: winning face off. He's great and great in the face 600 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: off circle. Those are elements we still lack and seem 601 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: to always bite us come playoff time. 602 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 2: That's it, isn't it. I just hope we I gotta admit, 603 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, I've done the old Get back to 604 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 2: the Western Conference finals and get back to me. I'd 605 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 2: just like to see him get out of the first round. 606 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 2: To be honest with you, it's been so long. 607 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: Oh three to four, right, I think wild fans are 608 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: with you. 609 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, just get out of the first round. 610 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: But that hasn't been three to four. What was it. 611 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: It's been like a decade, ten twelve years. They had 612 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: one where I think that two years in a row 613 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: they get out of the first round. It's just it's 614 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: just been like a decade. Oh soon, I forget they 615 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: had they had one. They're the best team they've had 616 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: was the one that took the Chicago Blackhawks to six 617 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: games in Round two. And that's the one where Patrick's 618 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: Kane scored the game winner in overtime. The puck that 619 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: hit the stanchion and can bounce right out to him 620 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: where he beat brisk Galilov. But the Wild, yeah they were. 621 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: They had the Blackhawks, who were really really good at 622 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: the time, to game six in round two. Okay, I 623 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: thought they've had twice where they've well, I told you 624 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: they had like back to back here they got out 625 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:30,439 Speaker 1: of the first round. 626 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 2: Not only man not listening to you, just waiting for 627 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 2: my chance to talk. But I'm not paying as close 628 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 2: attention to the Wild as I want. 629 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: But three or four is the only time they got 630 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: to the conference finals. 631 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 2: This one says, hold on, I got another one coming. 632 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 2: This one says, oh, that there is a trading pause 633 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 2: during the month of February one the Olympics, Right, yeah, correct, 634 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: I think that's correct. So the Olympics starts, I think 635 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 2: we determine the February six next next week, right, So 636 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 2: then there's. 637 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: And most most NHL trades don't happen until the final 638 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: week leading up to it anyways. And a lot of 639 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: it is just what I just mentioned with Paneren, Right, 640 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: big money guys. The closer the trade deadline you go 641 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: before trading for him are going to cost less against 642 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: your salary cap, so it's easier to fit in players. 643 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: The further you go down the season. 644 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 2: Common just gets done sane. He gets all of his 645 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild information from tenants, then continues to completely ignore 646 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 2: and disregards dissertation about artemy. Uh Paneren. 647 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: So there was another time earlier in the show where 648 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: I thought I had like an interest, A very rare time. 649 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: I thought I had an interesting point, and I was 650 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: like waiting for you to give me a reaction. You 651 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: just didn't have to. I forgot. 652 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 2: Well, could you do me favorite because we've got recycled. 653 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 2: Could you think what it was and come back to me. 654 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 2: Here's another text message kind of say, I can't really 655 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 2: comment on Paneren's game, but I love their sandwiches and soups. 656 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 2: Although the chicken spaces will seem to speak getting into. 657 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: Too cloppy, I always love that one. 658 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to love the Panaren I still do 659 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: the cinnamon crunch bagels. Of course, now when I've lost 660 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 2: thirty pounds in sixty days. Here's something I want to add. 661 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: You know I do those commercials eighty percent of your food. 662 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna add this in the next love spot. The 663 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 2: theory the working theory at MN White Loss Dot comments 664 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 2: eighty percent of your food is for purpose, twenty is 665 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 2: for pleasure. So when I have that twenty percent pleasure, 666 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 2: I can have myself a Panera cinnamon crunch bagel. Did 667 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 2: I tell you this? 668 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: So? 669 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 2: I think they when they when they first Pana first 670 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: came to town, they were like as big as one 671 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 2: of those little spare tires that you put in your 672 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: trunk your car. And then after they were around for 673 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 2: about a year, I think they got a little smaller. 674 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, not a lot, a little bit, and you 675 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 2: start going in because I was like, I go, well, 676 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 2: this isn't as big as it used to be. So 677 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 2: then you think, if you sell one billion cinnamon crunch 678 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 2: bagels in a year and you got like, let's say 679 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,720 Speaker 2: a quarter less ingredients, that's a lot of money you're saving. 680 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 2: I don't know if they did that, you can say 681 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 2: that's a conspiracy theory. There goes the Panara endorsement. 682 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: I always love when you buy like a big bag 683 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: of chips and literally like half of that bag is air. Yeah, yeah, 684 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 1: well they do have a weight. 685 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 2: They have the weight on them. This one says Timmyby. 686 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 2: Do you like the prospect of getting Crosby? I know 687 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 2: people would be excited about that, but I can't just 688 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 2: see where he'd fit. 689 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: I always love that one. 690 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 2: Also, I think he'd start as the thirteenth forward and 691 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 2: he'd have to work his way into the lineup. 692 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: I always there's a couple of bits going on there. 693 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: Which one was that one? I think, I think it's 694 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: making show and making fun of the sho heo tani 695 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: right causer saving and then because of the fit and 696 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: then the thirteenth forward thing. That was Kevin Falness talking 697 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: about Jack Eichel, who right now is like Vegas is 698 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: number one center and he basically like I don't want 699 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 1: him here because where would he even play. He'd have 700 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: to start off as like the thirteenth guy, Like what, no, 701 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: it's Jack Eikeel. But that was at the time. You know, 702 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: Jack was playing for the Buffalo Sabers, who were an 703 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: awful franchise, so there was a little bit more negative 704 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: narrative around him, even though it probably wasn't very deserving. 705 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: You know what, funny he went to a winning organization 706 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: and it's playing just fine. 707 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: I have another question for you. What came to me 708 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 2: about Jack Eikeel? 709 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: Sorry to do I always love that one. Here's a name. 710 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this one too. Did you know that 711 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 2: Panarin's nickname is Brett it is? Is it really? Yeah? 712 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 4: No? 713 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 2: I thought he was just saying that. 714 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: It's a joke. No, it seriously is so. 715 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 2: Larry Mundela Guy wasn't the first guy to come up 716 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 2: with a Panera joke. Apparently because I thought it was. 717 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 2: I should have known Larry Mundela Guy didn't come up 718 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 2: with that on his own. Here's another one. I think 719 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 2: of the wild shot more. They would score more goals, 720 00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 2: particularly during the power play. 721 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,920 Speaker 1: Well, I always love that one. They went two for 722 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: six the other night in the podcast. 723 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 2: How about a big outside the box move, make boldy 724 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,439 Speaker 2: center one and then get a top left wing, which 725 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 2: is cheaper and easier than a top center. Just a 726 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 2: thought from longtime listen doctor Mike. Can you just shift 727 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 2: from wing to center? I would? I'm not a hockey guy. 728 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 2: To me, I for some reason, I look at that said, well, 729 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 2: that shouldn't be that terribly difficult. But is it. 730 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 1: At the NHL level. I'm not gonna act like I 731 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: know the transition from wing to center. You know, at 732 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: the youth level you can do it relatively, seems say, 733 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: there are there are certain players. I mean they are 734 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: different positions. Your centers are required to help out in 735 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: your own. Corners help out in your own so they 736 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: have to skate a lot further. They're playing in the 737 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: middle of lice as opposed to on the boards more often. 738 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, your wings tend to get a little more 739 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: time in your own zone because they're and they kind 740 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,080 Speaker 1: of have to start from a stop standpoint, and they 741 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: have to work on certain breakout skills in terms of 742 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: transitions that centers don't have to make. So it's just 743 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: you're just a it's different spacing, it's a different amount 744 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: of energy. There's obviously you also have to win face 745 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: off draws, which is very important and a and a 746 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: skill in its own So yeah, there's there's a big difference. 747 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: Now BOLDI has some experience playing center. I guess ultimately, 748 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: if you brought it in a wing that was so good, 749 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,439 Speaker 1: maybe it's worth doing. But I also the way Matt 750 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: Boldie's going, I don't want to mess with his trajectory 751 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 1: right now, Like he's just he's a superstar. He's playing 752 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: he's awesome, and so I don't know why you'd want 753 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: to mess with that given he's going so well. 754 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 2: At where he is an idea just popped into my head. 755 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 2: What about moving Boldy to center? What did you think 756 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 2: about a movie like that? I had one other text 757 00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 2: message that I think here that raise some interesting issues. Yeah, 758 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 2: this one says time for the Bikes to tank. Have 759 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 2: we ever had a number one draft pick for the Vikings? 760 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 2: It was fran targeted number one. I don't think Targton 761 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 2: was a number one pick. Overall, it's too late to tank. 762 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 2: We went nine and eight. Our time to tank was 763 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 2: when we had were four and eight. We decided we 764 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 2: wanted to build on for next year. That we thought 765 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 2: these five wins that think about this, We decided we 766 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: wanted to build momentum so we had something to build 767 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 2: on with those five wins. Do you remember any of 768 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 2: those games and who we beat? I know we beat 769 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 2: Green Bay in the last one in Detroit. 770 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: After Washington in Dallas. 771 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 2: I don't remember the games. I don't think the players 772 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 2: do either. Most from don't remember. Well. The other thing is, 773 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 2: you know, in all seriousness, I mean there are times 774 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 2: for certain teams to tank and there's time not to. 775 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 2: And I don't think the Vikings are in that spot 776 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 2: right now, especially every franchise is at a different point 777 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:03,280 Speaker 2: in their existence, right. The Wilfs have owned the team 778 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty one, twenty two years something like that. 779 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 2: They've advanced too since ownership. Have they been to one 780 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 2: NFC Championship or has it been two since the Wilf's 781 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 2: owned the club and they've yet to advance out of 782 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 2: that round? Now it seems like we're not even getting 783 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 2: back to back playoff appearances anymore. Where getting bounced in 784 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 2: the first round. I find it hard to think that 785 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 2: the Wilfs would say, story, franchise National Football League and 786 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 2: you know, we've discussed the tanking thing before. I just 787 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 2: think it's really it's hard to tank football games. The 788 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 2: only way you can is you're not going to get 789 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 2: players to tank. You're not going to gather them at 790 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 2: preseason over at TCO and say, guys, we're going to 791 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 2: try to lose games this year. Are you with us? 792 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 2: Is this not going to happen? The only person that 793 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 2: can tank a game is the head coach, and then 794 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 2: there's no guarantees there. But the head coach can do 795 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 2: the things where he intentionally puts a vanilla game plan together. 796 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: They they do things like on a third and thirteen, 797 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 2: they intentionally run a real quarterbacks, you know, some dumb 798 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 2: play like I'll run a quarterback draw here that I 799 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 2: know is not going to work, and then it then 800 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 2: the coach isn't going to do that unless it's a 801 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 2: direct order. And then apparently, according to the isn't that 802 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 2: part of Bflow's lawsuit? Doesn't he say when he was 803 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 2: head coach for the Dolphins, the owner of the Dolphins, 804 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,840 Speaker 2: or was it the GM said we'll give you one 805 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars for every loss you have because they 806 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 2: wanted him to. That's his claim, isn't it. I'm almost 807 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 2: certain I'll say alleged, alleged, alleged. I think that was 808 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: his claim. Well, so even that is difficult to do, 809 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 2: so you can only I think the only time when 810 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 2: you talk about tang this one, I really thought the 811 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 2: vikings and to me, it's it's what what the what's 812 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 2: that phrase we use? It's a it's a passive tank 813 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 2: where no, you're not telling your quarterback to throw an interception. 814 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 2: You're not doing that, but you just decide play some 815 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 2: younger guys vanilla the game up a little bit, and 816 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 2: the guys are gonna try to win. 817 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: If we win, your your knee is not doing very well, 818 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: we should let's say another week exactly. 819 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: That's how you do those those games like. 820 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 1: That, well like the Green Maate did the last week 821 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: of the regular season. That's how you do it. 822 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 2: That's how you do it. I really enjoyed our visit 823 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 2: today with with the audience.
