But I think just for them to be 124 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: able to come watch them live and just to be 125 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: able at the end spend a little extra time that, 126 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: you know, not being here. I mean, you never know 127 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 4: how it's going to work out, but just the way 128 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 4: it did to be a round, you know, closer to. 129 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 6: The end, it was, it was great. 130 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: Now you you went to you know this, I have 131 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: a bone to pick with you. You went to North Dakota. 132 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: And that's fine and and everything. But but that's all right, 133 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: we'll let that go. And you know, it was at 134 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: a time when I was long gone. But but but 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: but when you were going through the recruiting process and 136 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: obviously you were one of the you know, highly recruited 137 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: guys in all of North America, how much did you 138 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 2: feel pressure to go to North Dakota. How much pressure 139 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: was there to maybe go to Minnesota or how did 140 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: that all work out? 141 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't think there was any pressure to go anywhere. 142 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: I mean, the difference is I didn't grow up here 143 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: dreaming or watching college hockey. To be honest, I never 144 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: grew up a golfer guy, never grew up a golfer fan, 145 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: And no disrespect, I just didn't. We were right going 146 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 4: to North Star games, not Gofer games, right right. My 147 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: thing was always I want to go to the NHL. 148 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 6: That was it, and. 149 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: For me, I felt that at the time the best 150 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 4: pass would be to go to North Dakota and it 151 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 4: worked out great. 152 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 6: I loved every minute. 153 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: Yeah I would, I would, I would think so, yeah, it. 154 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: Would have it would have been It would have been 155 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 4: great going to the U as well. But it's just 156 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: that's the path that we chose to take. And then 157 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: it was awesome. 158 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Zach had an opportunity have an awesome conversation last week 159 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: about this time with the great John Mayasi.

But just from your vantage point, 189 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 3: I know it's been a few years, twenty one years 190 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: since you participated in the World Juniors. 191 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: That's really. 192 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: What I know is that gonna want to come on 193 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: person in your country on a world stage is one thing. 194 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: But at that age in two thousand and four, to 195 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: be able to do But what was the World Juniors like. 196 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: For you, uh, two decades ago, Zach? 197 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 6: You know what it was? 198 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: It was awesome and it was so different because you know, 199 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: there was no I mean not a lot of you know, video, 200 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 4: so all you did was hear about these other guys. 201 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 4: You hear about them, and you hear about you know, 202 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: your dev and all these great players from Canada, and 203 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: but you don't see them.

So it's a good, uh, 210 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 4: a little bit of reality check and it's a good 211 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 4: measuring stick for for an eighteen year old. 212 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 3: I get two more quick ones for you.

I know 219 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 4: it sounds crazy. I just you just get so consumed. 220 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: My kids watch it, we'll flip it on at home. 221 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 4: But as far as paying attention, I don't. I don't 222 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: really pay attention ATPUS more of a burnt burnt out thing. 223 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 4: But I just pay a lot more attention to peewee 224 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: hockey and Mike Hockey right now. 225 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that. 226 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: I In fact, uh, Saint Louis Park took Annie Diana 227 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: the other night. I got to see Josh Harding banging 228 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 3: around the rec center. So good to see his face. 229 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 3: The little Spurgeon kid I think was and he's not little. 230 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: I say little, but just because I think of him 231 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: as a young kid. But he was on their JV 232 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: team contributing there as well. The other thing I wanted 233 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: to ask you about. In about an hour, we're going 234 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: to be joined by another guy that's going into the 235 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: US Hockey Hall of Fame, and that's Scott Gomez. 236 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask him about you. I'll turn the tables. 237 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 3: Tell me about Scott Gomez and what you remember him 238 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 3: about him as a teammate and as a as a competitor. 239 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 4: Well for as a player, I mean, Scott was He 240 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 4: was my center for a couple of years and one 241 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 4: of the one of the few guys that could literally 242 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 4: just break break the neutral zone trap like he would 243 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 4: wind up grab the puck behind her net and just 244 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 4: be able to just weave right through the neutral zone 245 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 4: and kick it out. I mean, he was such a 246 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 4: good passer, such a good playmaker that I mean, he 247 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 4: was an awesome line mate for me. And then as 248 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 4: a teammate, I mean my first and second year is 249 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 4: when I played with him, and I was one of 250 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 4: the I was always one of the younger guys on 251 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 4: the team. Is the league was a lot older back then, 252 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 4: but Scott always made sure that I was included in 253 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 4: everything off the ice. You know, guys were going places 254 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: out for dinner, on the road, doing things at home. 255 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 4: He'd always make sure I was included, and the young 256 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 4: guys were included. So for me, those are things that 257 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 4: you really really remember from a guy like him. And 258 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: he was just an awesome teammate and that's so. 259 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: Important for a young kid coming in breaking into the 260 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: National Hockey League too. Just feeling good right and feeling 261 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: comfortable about yourself and you know, so you get your 262 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: game going then no doubt. 263 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 4: I always said to him, like, your teammates are making 264 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 4: you feel good, You're you're feeling it's just you play 265 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 4: better if you're more comfortable with the team and off 266 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: the ice, you just play better on the ice. So again, 267 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 4: Scott always made sure that that I was included and everything. 268 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 4: And the one thing about Scott too is if it 269 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 4: everyone knows how how defensive we like to play in 270 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: New Jersey. And but it was contradictory Becausecott always told me, 271 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: if you dumped the pucket, you're the one going to 272 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: get it, Like I'm not going to get that thing. 273 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 4: So it was, uh, that's just how he wanted to 274 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 4: play the game. Is just puck possession. 275 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: Awesome stuff. 276 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: Zach and enjoy the night on Wednesday at River Center, 277 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: good luck with the old hockey dad stuff and let's do. 278 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: This again for an hour or something.

You know, you look at it 369 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: every ten games. You want to be above five hundred 370 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: every time. So if you're taking care of yourself in 371 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: that ten game stretch, then you're then you should be 372 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: in pretty good shape. 373 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: Keep those talk backs coming, keep those texts coming, six four, 374 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 3: six eighty six, and keep coming at you with Brett 375 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 3: Blakemore's breakaways. 376 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 8: It's time for Brett Blakemore breakaway, freak Caprice and now 377 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 8: bore break away. 378 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: All I've been able to think about all week is 379 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 3: what's Brett Blakemore gonna throw at us this week? 380 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: And here the time has finally arrived. I didn't sleep 381 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: last night. Oh that's. 382 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 9: Uh. 383 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 10: I actually wasn't coming out of the game. Wasn't too 384 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 10: negative to the wild game against the Flames. Yeah, they 385 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 10: had a lot of shots in the first they just 386 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 10: couldn't break through and then it kind of fell through 387 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 10: some weird turnovers. But Hines, I read the the Gamer 388 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 10: from your favorite blogger, Yeah, or maybe Joe Smith. Here's 389 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 10: words that John Hines using postgame outplayed out, competed, outskated 390 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 10: out executed. Is he being too negative on a team 391 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 10: that just had a historic November or is the hate 392 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 10: from the coach justified. 393 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: I think he hit it between the eyes. Patrick. 394 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 3: I watched that game and it was worse than a 395 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: game against Buffalo. Not all are going to be picasas 396 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: I get that, But it wasn't a good game. 397 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: Well, no, it wasn't. And you know in an eighty 398 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: two game season eighty four, next season, that happens, you know, 399 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: and they've been on a heater, and yeah, it happens, 400 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: and you know that's it's the only way to explain it. 401 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 2: Guess what, They're gonna have a few more of them too. 402 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: Yep so, and but the sky's not falling because of 403 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 2: one game. 404 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: Totally agree, But I don't have a problem with the 405 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: coach calling out of a couple. I think Trainion said 406 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 3: the same thing. 407 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 2: Jim says, it was one of those games we're gonna have. 408 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: That's not what the coach is supposed to say. He's 409 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 2: got to keep them on their toes and say, yeah, 410 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: we didn't do this, this and this, and we lost. 411 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 6: Yeah. 412 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: Period. 413 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 6: Yeah. 414 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 3: The problem is it's happened twice in the last four games, 415 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 3: so that's kind of twice in the last three games. 416 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: Really, the Buffalo game wasn't great, and then they got 417 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: a point out of it, and they did and guess what, 418 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: and we tend to forget that. See what once once 419 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 2: Minnesota gets on a heater like they have been, well 420 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 2: they're not supposed to lose again, you know, and they're 421 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: the greatest team. 422 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 3: Well they have flaws. I hate to tell you, the 423 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: Minnesota Wild have flaws. And this is not a team 424 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: built today. This lineup will not win you the Stanley Cup. 425 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 3: I guarantee it. I guarantee it. They should be killing, 426 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 3: they should be buffalo yea a a in the normal 427 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: sense of the word, of course, but not every not 428 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: eve Hey, it's the National Hockey League. 429 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: It's the best league in the world. So that's where 430 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: I'm at. Jeez. 431 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 10: And they think I'm negative guarantee no Stanley Cup to Minnesota. 432 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, no. Yes. I know. 433 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 10: If they make trades, then we'll talk, thank you. But 434 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 10: that's not a good bit, all right. I've had this 435 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 10: feeling build up over the course of the season, and 436 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 10: he's not like this isn't a guy that's on my 437 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 10: fecal roster that's gonna now. 438 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: I don't like him, and I'm gonna rip him. 439 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 10: But I've liked him historically, but I think this season 440 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 10: he's just kind of been a little off. And he 441 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 10: had a weird play in Calgary where he turned the 442 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 10: puck over which ended up. 443 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: Going the other way for a goal. 444 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 10: Middle I think Jake Middleton is what's going on there. 445 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 10: I felt like he's had a few weird turnovers that 446 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 10: lead to goals. I can think of one early on 447 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 10: where it like handcuffed them and it went the other 448 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 10: way for a breakaway goal. I just I feel like, 449 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 10: and I's had injuries too, what's going on with Jake middle. 450 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 3: In my opinion, Jake Middleton's good far outwayh is bad. 451 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: I know the gap that you're talking about. I remember 452 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: it was the Zeri goal, I do believe, where it 453 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 3: ended up being almost a three on one and they 454 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 3: converted it. It was about three minutes after they had 455 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 3: taken the two one advantage. That said the good far 456 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: out weighs the bad with Jake Middleton. In my mind, 457 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 3: I agree, And you know, every player goes through a patch, 458 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 3: and this may be his patch. I'll leave it there 459 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: because night in and night out, he's he's you know, 460 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: he's pretty he's pretty. 461 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 2: Solid back there. 462 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and paired up with Jared Spurgeon for the most part, 463 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 3: and that leaves brodein with brock Faber. 464 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: I think that's a pretty solid top four if you 465 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 2: ask me. Yeah, for sure, I'm not saying like all 466 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: he's done, it's over. I'm not saying and he is 467 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: curious as to why I And that's fair. I've noticed 468 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 2: that it hasn't been as good as it usually is, 469 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: and it's fair and I think, you know, it's a patch, 470 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 2: you know, And and he'll snap out of it and 471 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: then he'll start playing well, you know. I actually like 472 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: when he gets involved in the offense, maybe because he 473 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: has the ability to get the puck in the zone 474 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 2: and and jump up and and when he when he 475 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: is doing that, I think he's really dialed in. And 476 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 2: I mean that goes away from what you're saying about 477 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: his defensive but everything combined then just kind of fits. 478 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 10: Then we've got time for one more. Sure, I'm trying 479 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 10: to figure out I want to get an Olympics talker. 480 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 10: And because the new news coming out of Italy is 481 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 10: that there's going to be a smaller ice service. Usually 482 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 10: you go to the Olympics. It's the Olympics size sheet. 483 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 10: It's bigger. How are we going to play with all 484 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,719 Speaker 10: that space? Now it's smaller I think because they use 485 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 10: the metric system instead of just doing feet, So now 486 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 10: it's like three feet smaller than an NHL rink. And 487 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 10: the league said total non factor. We don't care about it. 488 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 10: The players, I'm not. I think this is a talker. 489 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 6: Well, I. 490 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: It's not done either. Will it be a major I 491 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 2: think they'll condense the neutral zone foot and a half 492 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: each way? Either. Guys are bigger, you know, does that 493 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: change the dynamic of the who's selected? 494 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 3: Might regardless. Shame on the Olympic committee for allowing this 495 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: to have December and it's not done yet. I mean 496 00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: we're talking about games coming. 497 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: Up in Suary. 498 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: Done this summer for sure, so they could at least 499 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: be out there and playing on it and have eyeballs 500 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: on it and and give them kudos for what a 501 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 3: great job they're doing. It ain't that at this point, 502 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: And I know I'd be nervous as heck about it. 503 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 3: You know the other thing I was thinking about, they 504 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 3: probably can't do this. I was I was spitballing on 505 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 3: Olympic gears, Why not play ten fewer games in the 506 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 3: regular season, because. 507 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 2: The way they're cramming games in here, and that's what 508 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: it's going to be. 509 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 3: But if you played five less at home, five less 510 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: on the road, and then played a more like a 511 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 3: regular quote unquote schedule. 512 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 2: Man, the way they're cramming games and the Serb a 513 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: talker in Janus February March, when we're talking who's going 514 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: to make the playoffs? Yeah, who's over tired?

Are they going 520 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 2: to have to change your worlds? What if a team 521 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: just gets decimated by injuries, right and and you're in 522 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 2: on the cap and involved, it's gonna be It's gonna 523 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: be something to keep an eye on in March, no doubt. 524 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 2: A great job as always, Brett. 525 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: Maybe we can get back to it later in the show, 526 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: although we are pretty jam packed, including the next half hour, 527 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 3: We're gonna turn our attention to the college ranks. We've 528 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 3: got both Bruce Sisky, the play by play voice of 529 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: the UMD Bulldogs and Brett Larson, the head coach at 530 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 3: Saint Cloud State, both coming up in the next thirty minutes. 531 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: Right here and Beyond the Pond. 532 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 3: Man Beyond the Pond continues Kevin following us along with 533 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 3: Pat mcletty, an opportunity to talk to you about anything 534 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: and everything in the world of hockey, including on the 535 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 3: college scene, where our good buddy Bruce Sisky, of course, 536 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 3: is a resident expert. 537 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 6: There. 538 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 3: The play by play voice for the UMD Bulldogs coming 539 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: at us live from Kalamazoo, Michigan. 540 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: How are we doing there, Bruce. 541 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 6: Boys, It's great to be back with you. How you doing. 542 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 2: I told you, Bruce, I told you you were going 543 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: to win. 544 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 6: I have to go back and check the podcast. 545 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 2: Well, I told you not maybe a month ago or 546 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: two months ago. Let's start to stage here. 547 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: First of all, the Bulldogs come away with a four 548 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 3: to one win last night over Western Michigan. That's topic 549 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 3: A topic B that I think Patrick is alluding to 550 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 3: is the fact that the Bulldogs came into three am 551 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: Arena at Mariucci and swept the Golden Golphers at the 552 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 3: end of October. 553 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 2: Is that what we're alluding to. No, we're alluding to 554 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: what the. 555 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 3: First the Western Michigan game. Okay, all right, well both 556 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 3: are factual. So let's start with last night. What happened 557 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: last night against the WMU. 558 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 4: So I thought. 559 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 9: I came away from the rink and I sent a 560 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 9: snapchat to my kid back home and I said, I 561 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 9: think that's the best game they've played this year. You 562 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 9: know Western Michigan pat as, you know, they they make 563 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 9: a living and transition. 564 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 6: They go north real quick. 565 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 9: They got a two on one about a minute and 566 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 9: a half into the game. William Whitelaw came down the 567 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 9: left wing side after blocking a shot at the point 568 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 9: and got behind the d and and Joey Pierce played 569 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 9: it perfectly, took the pass away and Adam guy On 570 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 9: stopped Whitelaw. I'd have to go back and watch the 571 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 9: whole game. I am pretty confident that was the only 572 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 9: odd band rushed Western Michigan had all night. And that's 573 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 9: that is not easy to do against this team. 574 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: It's a tough building to play in. 575 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 9: Also, yep, it is, and and they handled that well. 576 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 9: I thought the building was kind of I've there's been 577 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 9: a more energy in that building before than ther was 578 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 9: last night. But I think UMD had something to do 579 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 9: with it, because outside of that quick opportunity in the 580 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 9: opening couple of minutes, Western had nothing. 581 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 5: Uh. 582 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 9: They they pushed a couple of times, they had some 583 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 9: offensive zone, sustained offensive zone time. They they they took 584 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 9: advantage of an icing after a long shift and got 585 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 9: their only goal in the second period. But you know, 586 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 9: for a team that makes their living getting the pucked 587 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 9: north and getting bodies north and swarming you in the 588 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 9: offensive zone, the Bulldos gave them nothing. They managed the 589 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 9: puck tremendously and is it a little boring sometimes, yeah, 590 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 9: but it's very effective when you can play that way, 591 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 9: and they did last night, and it was a very 592 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 9: good sign at the multiple lines contributing. Scout truman Is 593 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 9: on the second line had a couple of power play goals. 594 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 9: The second power play unit got reconfigured during the bye 595 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 9: week and had a great night last night. And Adam 596 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 9: guy On once again makes the saves he has to make, 597 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 9: and it's just it's been uncanny this year. It's so 598 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 9: the opposite of what we saw for him last year 599 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 9: and a lot more in line with the expectations I 600 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 9: think a lot of people had when he got to 601 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 9: um D. 602 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 603 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're going to beat um D, you 604 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: are going to You're not going to get Scott Sandlin's 605 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 2: not going to get out coached. And you know he's 606 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: such a as you know, Bruce, a stickler to detail, 607 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: and it just you know, you alluded to it. The 608 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: biggest difference from last year to this year obviously a 609 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: little bit more maturity they have, but the goaltending. The 610 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: goaltending is makes a major major difference in whether you 611 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 2: win or lose games. 612 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 9: We knew very early on last year that the plants 613 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 9: Jason Shagay up front, Adam Cleaver and Ty Hands in 614 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 9: the back end. We knew those guys were ballplayers, that 615 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 9: they can make a lot of special things happen to 616 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 9: be blunt. They could not outscore some of the mistakes 617 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 9: they were making in the back end last year. They're 618 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 9: not making those mistakes maturity and therefore they don't have 619 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 9: to outscore those mistakes and it's allowed them to get 620 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 9: to their game a lot more easily, and it's made 621 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 9: a big difference. And I thought the top line is 622 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 9: they've been dynamics of the country is so talented. But 623 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 9: they played I thought, really well below the face off 624 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 9: dots last night in both zones, and that allowed them 625 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 9: to get. 626 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 6: You know, up the ice and play offensive. 627 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 9: But the other thing you did was it kept Western 628 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 9: Michigan from getting anything going in transition. 629 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: Is this the last year in that building? Bruce, No, 630 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: it is. 631 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 9: It's I believe it's our last scheduled visit here the 632 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 9: new buildings under construction. It's supposed to open fall twenty 633 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 9: twenty seven, is what we're told. So are you going 634 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 9: to miss it one more year in the old building? 635 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: Are you going to miss that press box? 636 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 6: It's tight. 637 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 9: You've been there, you know it's tight. But I'll be honest, 638 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 9: I am going to miss it because I sent it 639 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 9: on on my Instagram last night. 640 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 6: You are literally right on top of. 641 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 4: The ice yea. 642 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 6: And they don't build press boxes like that anymore, do that. 643 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: It's only like ten feet wide and you got to 644 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 2: say fifty. 645 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 6: People that's it. Yes, that is an issue. I will 646 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 6: give you that. 647 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 9: I've got to try to carve out a spot because 648 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 9: they put the visiting radio guy on the opposite side 649 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 9: of the home ring, which is fine. You don't want 650 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 9: to yell over each other the whole game. But the 651 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 9: problem is that the side that I'm on at the 652 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 9: side of the PA guys on So I tried, I 653 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 9: try to carve out my space as far away from 654 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 9: the PA guys I can get. And yeah, it's it's 655 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 9: a tight press box, there's no doubt about that. But 656 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 9: it's it's unlike any other that we go to now 657 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 9: because the vantage point is so cool at the pace 658 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 9: of the game from where you sit in that press 659 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 9: box is just ridiculous. 660 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you, once those go away, they're not coming back. 661 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 2: So enjoy it. 662 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: I know it sucks that you're you're smashed in there, 663 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 3: but there's been some great spots around the National Hockey League. 664 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 2: We've talked about all the town and Joe as well, 665 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: that they were right over the ice and then then 666 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 2: when they build new you're going further back and you're 667 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: in the clouds. And so once they're gone, they're not 668 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: coming back. So that enjoyed it while you got it. 669 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 2: So Bruce, you know, it's very, very difficult to sweep 670 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 2: in college hockey. The Bulldogs have a chance to do 671 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: that tonight. Thoughts going into tonight's game. 672 00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 6: So it's funny. 673 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 9: Matt Well into the News Tribune brought it up with 674 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 9: Scott Sandel at the media conference on Wednesday, and I 675 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 9: think Scott's just started of talking about it, and I 676 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 9: get it. But the reality is that they're nine and 677 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 9: zero on Friday and four and four on Saturday. And 678 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 9: so I went and dug into some of the numbers. 679 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 6: And expected goals at the college level. 680 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 9: It's a flawed stat because there's a human being some 681 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 9: more involved in the process instead of the quality of 682 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 9: an opportunity. Right, But they're expected goals on Friday. Expected 683 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 9: goals against are roughly nineteen through nine games in eight 684 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 9: Saturday games or over twenty. That tells you that they 685 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 9: are giving up better opportunities on Saturdays. They give up 686 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 9: on Fridays because the same people that chart them on 687 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 9: Fridays they are charting them on Saturdays. In these buildings. 688 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 9: It's not like it's a whole different crew walking into 689 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 9: the second game of a series. 690 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: All analytic this one for you. When you lose out 691 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 2: Friday night, you're going into Saturday night. There's a little 692 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: bit more in your game from the from the opposing team. 693 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 2: And so absolutely we'll just leave that one right there. Hey, 694 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 2: do you want to take this out there? 695 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 3: Do you want to take this opportunity to gloat about 696 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: the Bulldogs coming to the U of M campus and 697 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 3: getting a sweep in October? 698 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: This is your opportunity. 699 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 9: No, what I What I would like to do, though, Kevin, 700 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 9: besides wish you a happy birthday, is uh would?

You guys went toe to toe with 736 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 3: North Dakota there in Saint Cloud ended up losing four 737 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 3: to three, but it sounded like it was a heck 738 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 3: of a hockey game. 739 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 12: Yeah, it was a great hockey game. Actually, it was 740 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 12: everything that you could look at analytalytically. It was an 741 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 12: even game, face off, shots, chances for and against, all 742 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 12: those things. It was one of those games where they 743 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 12: made one more play than us. Yeah, we got to 744 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 12: turn that around tonight. 745 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 746 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: I watched the majority of it, bretton But first of all, 747 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: it's great to talk to you again. It's been way 748 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 2: too long and that's that's on me. But you know, I, 749 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: Barrett Hall, I mean that goal. I turned on Sports 750 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: Center this morning and it's a top ten play. But 751 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 2: what a shorthanded goal he had. But to your point, 752 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: you guys are just you know, they'd score you tied up, 753 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 2: they'd score you tied up, and like you said, it 754 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 2: was just you know, it was one play that decided 755 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 2: the game. 756 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 6: It really was. 757 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 12: And it was, like I said, I as a coach 758 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 12: is tough. You're obviously want to win a big game 759 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 12: against a huge rival, but you look at your team 760 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 12: and you got to find ways to get better tonight. 761 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 12: I thought we played really well last night. I just 762 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 12: thought there were some times where we got to get 763 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 12: better at getting underneath our coverage, getting around the net, 764 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 12: creating second third opportunities. We need to do that to 765 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 12: be able to score a bit more. And you know, 766 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 12: we've kind of proven that we can play with anybody 767 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 12: in the country right now. We've done a pretty good 768 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 12: job of that going into the game or fourteenth in 769 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 12: the NPI, all those things, but now it's time to 770 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 12: prove that we can beat anybody in Country. North Dakota 771 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 12: is a really good team this year. We got to 772 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 12: play with something to prove tonight. 773 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 2: You know, I know coaches don't look at it. I 774 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: look at it, Brett, you know. And you know when 775 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 2: someone asked me, well, what do you think of this team, 776 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, talk to me in January and February, 777 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,919 Speaker 2: because that's when you know, if you got your team 778 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: dialed in, if they're if they're all on board with 779 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 2: what the coaching staff is saying, and and you're doing 780 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 2: what you want to do. I know, you know that 781 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 2: that's easy to say from my perspective, but from a 782 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 2: coach's perspective, darn it. You know you wanted to get 783 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 2: that win last night. 784 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 12: Exactly you want you know, we got a good crowd, 785 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 12: the energies in the building. You want to take it 786 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 12: to a rival at Space and it felt like that 787 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 12: type of game, and it was. It was kind of 788 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 12: a slug fest, you know, like each team had some chances, 789 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 12: each team was playing well. It felt like just a 790 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 12: really good hockey game. But there's still you know what, 791 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 12: there's no constellation trophe in a game like that. You 792 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 12: lose it, you don't feel good about yourself. And but 793 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 12: in college hockey usually coming back Saturday night, it's it's 794 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 12: tough to win because I'll tell you what, the Huskies 795 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 12: are going to be hungry. It's just that one percent 796 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,959 Speaker 12: it's pushing it over the hump. I think we're gonna 797 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 12: we're going to bring our best tonight. 798 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brett, you know, with the with the changes 799 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 2: in college hockey, which you know, I you know, I 800 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 2: mean every year they seem to change, but you know, 801 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 2: this year, with the influx of the Canadian junior players 802 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 2: coming in, the parody in college hockey, it's it's ridiculous. 803 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 2: I mean, if you had ask me, you know, the 804 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 2: of the twenty five thirty teams that I think that 805 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 2: potentially could win it. I mean, it's just crazy how 806 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 2: difficult it is to win night in and night out 807 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: in college hockey. 808 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 12: I've never seen it this tough. 809 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 6: Pat, I totally agree with you. 810 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 12: And there are no upsets anymore, just aren't. Like you know, 811 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 12: the fans will both think it's an upset at times, 812 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 12: but the coaches in college hockey, no, right now there 813 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 12: is more parody than ever. Obviously with the expanded player 814 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 12: pool and the ability to bring in more players to 815 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 12: improve your team. There's not a bad team in college 816 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 12: hockey right now. Anybody can beat anybody. If you don't 817 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 12: show up ready to play, you're gonna get beat. 818 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 3: Well, I have a feeling you're going to have a 819 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 3: player lid under those guys for the rematch tonight, coming 820 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 3: up at six o'clock in St. 821 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 2: Cloud. What are you expecting in game two of two. 822 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 12: I want us to get to their net, I do. 823 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 12: We got to get in front of their goalie. 824 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 2: We got to make it uncomfortable for him. 825 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 12: I thought we were a little bit perimeter offensively last night. 826 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 12: We need to be a little bit harder and get 827 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 12: to the dirty areas and get rewarded for it. And 828 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 12: we need to take a step as a team.

It was crazy good. 860 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 3: Saw a little bit of that, saw a little bit 861 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 3: of the series with the Gophers and Ohio State. I 862 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 3: know you were keeping track of that Thursday and Friday 863 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 3: and welcome to the Big Ten. Yeah, the Gophers end 864 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 3: up with a with a split, but that one was crazy. 865 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 2: I was trying to watch that game on Thursday, well 866 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: the wild we're battling with the Calgary Flames. 867 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 3: Every time I looked up, they looked like a pinball machine. 868 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 3: The score was changing. What did you make of the 869 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 3: two game set against the. 870 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 2: Well, you know, again, always always hard on the road. 871 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 2: You know, they win, they win Thursday, and you know 872 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 2: last night they they had it, they had it, couldn't 873 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 2: hold on, goes to overtime and lose. They're playing much 874 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: much better, you know, and you know, beating Denver, being 875 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 2: Penn State, you know, their record is certainly improved and 876 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 2: they're starting to come together a little bit. There's some 877 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 2: concerning things, no doubt, they're not generating. They don't have 878 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: the offense right now that they've had in the past, 879 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 2: so it's different. And but that being said, they're not 880 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 2: generating a lot of shots, a lot of volume, and 881 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 2: they're getting out shot quite a bit. And so you know, 882 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 2: I think when you look in the second half, you 883 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 2: want to see that get a little tighter in terms 884 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 2: of shots four and shots against. But you know what 885 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: they're they're younger players are starting to mature, and so 886 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 2: now we're gonna have to wait and see how it 887 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 2: plays out. 888 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 3: Let me ask you about a couple of those players, 889 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 3: because I think there's probably listeners out there that are 890 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 3: casual goal for fans that aren't involved in it as 891 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 3: much as you are. 892 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 2: And I think I would classify myself as that. 893 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 3: I try to watch as much as I can, but 894 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 3: the NHL schedule sometimes gets in the way. But I 895 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 3: keep hearing some of these names that are coming up 896 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 3: throughout the course of the of this short season thus far. 897 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 2: So let me ask you about a couple of them. 898 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 3: Javon Moore kid scored the overtime winner against du last 899 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 3: week at Ball Arena in the US Hockey Hall of 900 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 3: Fame game. 901 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 2: Tell me about Javon Moore and what excites you about him. Well, 902 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 2: he's a freshman, but he's six two hundred or yeah, 903 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 2: six two hundred and fifteen pounds, skate like, skate like 904 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 2: the win. I mean, he made it pass last night 905 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 2: to Brodie Zeemer that was just beautiful, and you know, 906 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 2: you got the game winning goal and ot against Denver again. 907 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 2: You know, he's just learning and as he matured this 908 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 2: first half as much as any what he on that 909 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 2: hockey team, and so he's going to be a stud. 910 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 2: It's going to play in the National Hockey League for 911 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 2: ten years, you know or more. You just got to 912 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: give him time. But boys, he really really jumped up lately. 913 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 2: It feels like as the season goes along. 914 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 3: It's like when we talk about the young guys on 915 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 3: the Wild getting more comfortable as October becomes November, it 916 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 3: becomes December. That's kind of what you're talking about. If 917 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 3: I'm more doubt about it, how about LJ. Mooney Electric? 918 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 2: Just electric? You know his cousin is is Logan Cooley. 919 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 2: I don't know if he knew that, but you know, 920 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 2: he just he makes place and he set up Brodie 921 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 2: Zemer last night and one of Zeemer's Zeemer's other goals 922 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 2: Zeemer at four on the weekend. By the way, he's 923 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 2: got twelve. Now, yeah, I think he's fourth over all 924 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 2: the country and goals, so you know, he's he's just 925 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 2: when the puck is on a stick, something's going to happen. 926 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: And he is a whole buck fifty or buck sixty. 927 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, I don't know what's what 928 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 2: they put in the you know, in the in the 929 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 2: lineup or you know, on the on the sheet, but 930 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 2: but he's he's fearless and uh, he's just a fun 931 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 2: player to watch. 932 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 6: Now. 933 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 3: I don't know what their goaltending situation is, but the 934 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 3: name that I keep seeing come up is that Luca 935 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 3: d Pasco had forty seven saves in the win against 936 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 3: du had thirty two saves on Thursday against the buck guys. 937 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 3: Luca de Pasco, what type of shape is the goaltending situation? 938 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think and I'm not speaking for anybody at 939 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 2: the university, and I'm not a coach, and but I 940 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 2: think it's starting to trend towards Depasco. He's been really, 941 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 2: really good. I think last night, now Airy gave up. 942 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 2: You know, two of the goals that he gave up 943 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 2: went off go for guys, and so that's something. 944 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 3: That first one that's yeah and annoying for a goaltender 945 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,479 Speaker 3: to have to deal with that, and there. 946 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 2: Was another one. So but I think I think if 947 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 2: you were to ask me if they were playing the 948 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 2: national title game, I think the passcal would be the guy. 949 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 2: But well, we'll have to see how that plays out 950 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 2: and how Bob's gonna deal with that come the second half. 951 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,439 Speaker 3: Transferred in from Michigan State, right, Yes, yeah, how's Bob 952 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 3: Moscow holding up? I haven't talked to Bob. We haven't 953 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 3: had him on the area yet. We've only this is 954 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 3: only our second show and we've been jammed. How's he 955 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 3: holding up getting ready for the world. 956 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,439 Speaker 2: I think good. But I haven't seen him enough because 957 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 2: usually I'm in the locker room and with my you 958 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 2: know issue and and uh and stuff. I haven't seen 959 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 2: him a lot. We sat down and talked quite a 960 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: bit last week, and but I think he's doing fine. Listen, 961 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 2: He's got a ton on his plate, and you know, 962 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 2: with the World Juniors and putting that roster together and 963 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 2: and now you know, now with the Gophers being done 964 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 2: for the first half, I think things well, I don't 965 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 2: know if they'll settle down, but he can concentrate on that. 966 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 2: And but no, he's uh, you know, he's got a 967 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 2: good attitude. He believes in his team and uh. And 968 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 2: the good thing, you know, he's patient with him too 969 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 2: and understands where they are. So I think overall good. 970 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 3: Quick look at the college hockey scoreboard already told you 971 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 3: you and d took out Saint Cloud State four to three. 972 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 3: The rematch coming up to six o'clock tonight in Saint Cloud. 973 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 3: U m D took out Western Michigan for to one. 974 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 3: Rematch seven o'clock tonight in Kalamazoo, August Anna beating BAMIDGI 975 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 3: three one.

I don't know if 1000 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,760 Speaker 3: you looked over it. Do you see this in the corner? 1001 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 6: I do? What is it? 1002 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 2: It's safe? Not that the thing behind it here? Let 1003 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: me go grab it. Yeah, what this is? 1004 00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 3: You may not have ever seen it in person. You've 1005 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 3: heard about it. The wheel of topic. Common leaves this here, 1006 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: and he doesn't. I guess he forgets about it because 1007 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 3: he doesn't need. 1008 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 2: It until the SPU I want to try it out. 1009 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 3: But here's the problem, Like we did this not that 1010 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 3: long ago, and I have a feeling that it's probably 1011 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:14,760 Speaker 3: still in shambles. 1012 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 2: So let me just see if I can. Let me 1013 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 2: get some of the tools out here, right, I didn't 1014 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 2: play golf. No, you didn't play golf. 1015 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 11: Did you? 1016 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 2: Hang on a second? 1017 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 3: Here, I got a hammer. I'm gonna work on it here, 1018 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 3: because you don't know this. I'm actually very handy, but 1019 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 3: I'm impressed. I'm very handy, and the wheel of topic 1020 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 3: is awesome. But I don't want to talk golf when 1021 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 3: there's snow on the ground, so he doesn't need it 1022 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 3: till the spring. 1023 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 2: So a chainsaw, that's that'll be handy. I think that's 1024 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 2: a jackhammer. 1025 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 6: Very good. 1026 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 2: All right, I think I'm done the wheel of topic. 1027 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 2: Let's let's spend it. Usually it comes up on the 1028 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 2: Commons golf? Are you ready bred for wheel of topic? 1029 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 2: Let's see if I fixed it. I hope you don't 1030 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 2: get serious. 1031 00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 10: For the US. 1032 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 2: To gasoline prices, Who. 1033 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 6: The hell was that? 1034 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 3: Gasoline prices? I don't want that, really, that's what we 1035 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 3: came up with, you know what I probably here? Let 1036 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 3: me let me bang on it a couple more times. 1037 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 3: All right, try it again, gasoline prices? 1038 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 2: What the hell was that? One more time? 1039 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 6: On? 1040 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 2: I want to talk about gasoline prices less than Commons 1041 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 2: golf game Minnesota wild there, Joe. Yeah, you know, I'm 1042 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:40,760 Speaker 2: very handy. 1043 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 3: People don't give me a lot of credit that I 1044 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 3: can't do stuff with my hands. Well, I fixed the 1045 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 3: wheel of topic. 1046 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 2: You almost screwed it up more. I hope, I hope we. 1047 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,160 Speaker 3: Can figure out a way to get it back to 1048 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 3: where it needs to be next spring. A lot of 1049 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 3: time to worry about that, But since we have an 1050 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 3: opportunity to talk to Minnesota Wild Hockey, Well, they just 1051 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,439 Speaker 3: had their twelve game point street stop pat They lost 1052 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 3: for the first time in regulation in just under a month. 1053 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that happens. What a what a start to December, 1054 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 2: and you know November is behind us now, and you know, 1055 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:13,840 Speaker 2: here we go. 1056 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 3: Right when we last talked about this time last week, 1057 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 3: they were coming off that wonderful Black Friday game against 1058 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 3: the Colorado Avalanche, and no one could take that was 1059 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 3: a heavyweight battle of the Avalanche had a ten game 1060 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 3: win streak going into that, the Wild had a six 1061 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 3: game win streak. Just an epic battle there within the 1062 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 3: Central Division, and unfortunately the Wild followed that up with 1063 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 3: two of the next three were clunkers, whether you. 1064 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 2: Want to call it that or not. 1065 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 3: That that's fine and so happier on them than I 1066 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 3: am about that, which is shocking. I wouldn't call them clunkers. 1067 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 3: I mean they were, yeah, but you're starting to the 1068 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 3: Buffalo last place in the Eastern Conference, last place in. 1069 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 2: The last but you're starting to think, hey, they shouldn't 1070 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 2: how can they look? They shouldn't lose, they should win 1071 00:48:59,480 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 2: eighty two game. 1072 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 3: They beat Colorado and then they fell short against two 1073 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 3: bad teams. 1074 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 2: I mean, you go from highs to lows. It's anyway, Trama, 1075 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 2: let me ask you this question. All right, Game seven 1076 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Finals, who's your goaltender? I don't know. I 1077 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 2: mean it is so hard to not say yes. 1078 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 3: The numbers he's putting up, Like we had mensa in 1079 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 3: last week, we talked a little about Frank Brimstack. 1080 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 2: He's bringing up numbers like Frank Brimsay, Yeah, it's ridiculous. 1081 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 2: And how good was he against Edmonton? I mean what 1082 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 2: Edmonton for the better half of the second and third period, 1083 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 2: you know, played Minnesota. 1084 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 3: I mean, how good has he been period? His numbers 1085 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 3: are ridiculous, has not lost in regulation? His numbers are 1086 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 3: practically sub zero. A little bit of an exaggeration, but again, 1087 00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,919 Speaker 3: what he did against I don't know if you saw 1088 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 3: what Edmonton did starting Brett. 1089 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 2: It's got to be the gray Wall of Saint Paul. 1090 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's it's amazing and the game has 1091 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 3: bought into what the yesper Valsetet effect. 1092 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 2: But I don't know, if you. 1093 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 3: Saw what Edmonton did after the wild blank and one zip, 1094 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 3: they go and they play Seattle. It just absolutely destroyed 1095 00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 3: it or something like that. Just a ridiculous beat down him. 1096 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 3: McDavid had trig dry title on the board. They got 1097 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,640 Speaker 3: a lot of their frustration out that brodine Eck and 1098 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 3: Valstad put on them. 1099 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,919 Speaker 2: Two nights prior. They took it out on the crack 1100 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 2: and Thursday night in Edmint. And if you go back 1101 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 2: to that Calgary game too, that game is over in 1102 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 2: the first period. Had Minnesota scored on a couple, they 1103 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,720 Speaker 2: had great opportunities in the first period and power plays 1104 00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 2: right and and and they and they didn't. So okay, 1105 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 2: Calgary says, hey, we're in this thing, and and you 1106 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 2: kind of you kind of saw on Minnesota drift off 1107 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. And sure they weren't. They they didn't 1108 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 2: play their their best game obviously, but but they but 1109 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 2: they could have put the game away in the first 1110 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 2: period and they didn't then they ended up losing. 1111 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, for you, yespervalstaid eighth to two now and his 1112 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,760 Speaker 3: ten starts has not lost in regulation the entire season. 1113 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 2: He's got seven straight victories. He's won in his last 1114 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 2: six starts. 1115 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 3: He's got four shutouts, and he's a perfect three to 1116 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,840 Speaker 3: zero when it comes to the shootout. Now four shutouts 1117 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 3: on the season, five in his National Hockey League career. 1118 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 3: I mean the heater that this kid is on their 1119 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 3: riding this, and I say they're riding it. They're still 1120 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 3: doing the full blown goalie rotation. You have any problem 1121 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 3: with that? 1122 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:34,400 Speaker 2: No, I don't until one really takes over. And right 1123 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 2: now they're both playing well, and so why not why 1124 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 2: not ride it? And you know it's that you want 1125 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 2: that healthy competition and they both want to win, and 1126 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 2: they're both dialed in every night, So yeah, you might 1127 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 2: as well just keep running with it. 1128 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 3: And like we said, because of the fact that the 1129 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 3: schedule is so compressed, they're playing a lot of hockey game. 1130 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 3: I don't know how they got away with this four 1131 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,320 Speaker 3: game road trip where they have a day in between 1132 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 3: every game. It's amazing because the way they've been smashing 1133 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 3: games in the every other the uh back to back 1134 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 3: games and the three games and four nights. It's been 1135 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 3: just continual, uh, right up until present day. So I 1136 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 3: think you need both goaltenders. People are talking about, well, 1137 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 3: couldn't you deal Philip Gustavson and get something in return. 1138 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 3: There's teams like the Edmonton Oilers that need goaltending, but 1139 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 3: I think the Wild need both these guys. 1140 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 2: You know, certainly that's probably going to be thrown out 1141 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 2: there at some point, but you just you don't need 1142 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 2: to you don't need to do that now. I think 1143 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 2: Minnesota has enough other assets that they could deal. And 1144 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 2: I'm Kevin, I you know, I made the statement early 1145 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 2: and I don't think that this current team, with the 1146 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,359 Speaker 2: players that they have, is going to win a Stanley Cup. Now, 1147 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 2: you can you know, if you if you made the 1148 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,719 Speaker 2: right deal and got the right player or players, yeah, 1149 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 2: then then then you know then you you know, you 1150 00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 2: you look at that. 1151 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 3: So you know, we're just gonna have to see how 1152 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,839 Speaker 3: it all plays out. But you know, they're they're they're 1153 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 3: playing great hockey. So via text that threw six four 1154 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 3: six eight six from the six to one to two 1155 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 3: area code Wow, Brett Blakemore.

I don't think it's negative. 1162 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,400 Speaker 2: I think it's just like if you can add another 1163 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 2: top six guy and then you and then you slide 1164 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 2: down guys that were in those roles. I just think 1165 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 2: that makes you deeper and and you know you bringing 1166 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 2: up Uh. I'll give you an example. If it was 1167 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 2: Alex Tuck or or th Thompson. Okay, I'm just throwing 1168 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 2: which one has a little bit more pizazed to it. 1169 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,879 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Alex Tuck five years ago, four years ago. 1170 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 2: Take Thompson right now, right. 1171 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 3: Now, if I can pick one of them, I love 1172 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 3: me somem Alex Tuck, but I'd want to teach Thompson. 1173 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're getting a guy who's a legitimate goal scorer, 1174 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 2: and he's big, and you know he can play in 1175 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,840 Speaker 2: the middle, he can play the wing. You know, he 1176 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,800 Speaker 2: you know, obviously excuse me solidify your power play. And 1177 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,359 Speaker 2: then what that does, Kevin, is that other teams look 1178 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,360 Speaker 2: at Minnesota and say, huh, look what they added, you know, 1179 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 2: and now they have this, this, this and this, you know, 1180 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,800 Speaker 2: watch out for this team. And so I just, you know, 1181 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,919 Speaker 2: I just think if they can swing some type of deal. 1182 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 2: Now there's other teams out there that want them and 1183 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,279 Speaker 2: gonna probably make a big offer and all that kind 1184 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 2: of stuff. But man, Minnesota, they have the money. I 1185 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 2: think they have the assets. Is Bill Garon is he. 1186 00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,800 Speaker 3: Bold enough to move someone a fan favorite or whoever 1187 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 3: that is, to get that player that may elevate them. 1188 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt that he's bold enough. 1189 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 2: Can you pull it off? 1190 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,239 Speaker 3: The problem is you got to have you know, it's 1191 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,040 Speaker 3: got to be a two way conversation there. He's got 1192 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 3: to have someone willing to deal. And I think that's 1193 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 3: been kind of the issue here with with the Buffalo 1194 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 3: Sabers as of you know, going by the reporting, what 1195 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 3: we've heard in the last few years, you know, is 1196 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 3: the fact that they didn't want with the wild we're 1197 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 3: offering for JJ, peterca Alex Talk, Tage, Tomas. 1198 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 2: Depends what you offered right, so obviously wasn't good enough. 1199 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 3: Real quick, we've got a special guest on the line. 1200 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:40,840 Speaker 3: We've got it by the name of Scott Gomez.

Uh he 1638 01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 15: didn't actually not bring him over because he played there, 1639 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 15: but he's kind of got in the net a little 1640 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 15: bit here and then played well. So yeah, they've got 1641 01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:54,920 Speaker 15: a really good mix. I feel though they've they've got 1642 01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 15: some skill guys, they've got some tougher to play against guys. 1643 01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,519 Speaker 15: Their d course pretty good. It's a little bit older now, 1644 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,639 Speaker 15: and yeah, that's a well built team. 1645 01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 2: Well, I tell you, slass, I certainly want your opinion 1646 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 2: on this. I you know, with the with the Canadian 1647 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:18,800 Speaker 2: junior kids coming in and adding a little more should 1648 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,120 Speaker 2: we say, age and experience and skill and and such. 1649 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,759 Speaker 2: I tell you college hockey, I mean, good luck picking 1650 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,960 Speaker 2: a winner because you know, on any given night now 1651 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 2: there's in my opinion, thirty teams this year that are 1652 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:34,559 Speaker 2: in it. Am I wrong? 1653 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 6: No? 1654 01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:40,120 Speaker 15: I think you know, just in general, no matter what 1655 01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 15: sport you're dealing with, the deeper the player pool is, 1656 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:44,560 Speaker 15: the more parody you're going to have. 1657 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:45,120 Speaker 5: Yep. 1658 01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 15: And that's why we'll see like high school teams that 1659 01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 15: are just super dominant, whereas the NHL you just don't, 1660 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,040 Speaker 15: you know, it's you go up levels and and just 1661 01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 15: so the depth of the player pool is really packed 1662 01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:04,120 Speaker 15: in college hockey this year, and I think some of 1663 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,919 Speaker 15: the top teams may have gotten like ten to fifteen 1664 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 15: percent better with the CHL and I think the non 1665 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:14,760 Speaker 15: traditional powerhouse has probably got about like twenty five percent better. 1666 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:15,280 Speaker 2: Yep. 1667 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,800 Speaker 15: So I think the net gain was with the depth 1668 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:23,280 Speaker 15: programs even though everyone benefited and we're seeing some really 1669 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 15: entertaining hockey. I feel like I just saw Amidge State 1670 01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:30,679 Speaker 15: last weekend. That's as much skill as i've seen there 1671 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 15: right there. They're really skilled, fun to watch team, and 1672 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,360 Speaker 15: you're just seeing that all over the country. 1673 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:37,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1674 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,559 Speaker 2: Well, I look at the CCCHA and there are six 1675 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 2: teams that you can put in a hat and pick 1676 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 2: one and they could win it. I mean, are they're 1677 01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 2: capable of winning? 1678 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:48,760 Speaker 11: You know? 1679 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,120 Speaker 2: And just well you've seen Mamiji State play. I've seen 1680 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,320 Speaker 2: you know, Minnesota State play and Bumigee and Sat Thomas. 1681 01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:57,759 Speaker 2: These are good hockey teams. 1682 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't think I've seen the CCHA this good, 1683 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 15: and I think a big reason for that is the 1684 01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 15: CHL pool being opened. A lot of teams benefited from that. 1685 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,599 Speaker 15: Interestingly enough, in Minnesota State is probably the best team 1686 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 15: in the league. And they did not jump into that pool, 1687 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,479 Speaker 15: but some of the other schools did. And I think 1688 01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:26,040 Speaker 15: we're seeing this is the deepest CCHA I've seen. It's 1689 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,759 Speaker 15: probably the best quality the league has been since it started. 1690 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 15: And yeah, it's it's been fun to watch if you 1691 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 15: if you like college hockey, I mean, boy, there's never 1692 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 15: been a better time. 1693 01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 3: Talking to Brad Schlassman, one of our favorites here on 1694 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 3: Beyond the Pond from the Grand Forks Harold. Find him 1695 01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 3: on Twitter or ex at Schlossman GF. You can also 1696 01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 3: find him online Grand forkshrold dot com, slash und Hockey. 1697 01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,479 Speaker 3: We talked a little bit earlier in the show about 1698 01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,400 Speaker 3: the Golden Golfhers. You got to see him up there 1699 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,680 Speaker 3: in Grand Forks in the middle of October something like that. 1700 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 3: I think they ended up being a split Golphers getting 1701 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,679 Speaker 3: the second of two with a five to one victory. 1702 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,639 Speaker 3: Give us, you know, as a guy that follows college hockey, 1703 01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 3: and you got a chance to see the Gophers up close, 1704 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 3: and of course they grab a lot of the headlines 1705 01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 3: here locally. What have you thought about the Golphers as 1706 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,839 Speaker 3: they go through basically what looks to be like a transition. 1707 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,800 Speaker 3: Ye're going from the high talent that they had in 1708 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 3: their roster last year compared to what they're trying to 1709 01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:23,639 Speaker 3: build now with under Bob Motskow. 1710 01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1711 01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:31,040 Speaker 15: I like this freshman class that they have. I view 1712 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 15: this freshman class is maybe more of a little bit 1713 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 15: of a traditional let's say Denver class. These are like 1714 01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 15: the mid round pick types. They're not there. I'm going 1715 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,400 Speaker 15: to come in as a freshman and be a Logan 1716 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:51,320 Speaker 15: koolie right right. But they're going to be really good 1717 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:56,640 Speaker 15: three four year players. But they're They're not guys that 1718 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,320 Speaker 15: can come in and carry the team right away. And 1719 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,880 Speaker 15: I think the back end probably isn't good enough to 1720 01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,679 Speaker 15: be in the top echelon of the Big Ten this season. 1721 01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 15: So uh, they are going to go through some ups 1722 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,240 Speaker 15: and downs this season. They already have. But if you 1723 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,200 Speaker 15: are a Gopher fan, I think the part that you 1724 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 15: have to be excited about is when you start looking 1725 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:25,600 Speaker 15: down the line, here, this is a class that's going 1726 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,240 Speaker 15: to be around. They're going to be really really good 1727 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 15: juniors and seniors, and then as they get to that age, 1728 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 15: the guys that are going to bring in in a 1729 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 15: couple of years are going to be the you know, 1730 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,680 Speaker 15: guys who impact right away. You know why Colin will 1731 01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 15: impact right away next year for Minnesota. 1732 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,000 Speaker 2: Let me get a good yeah, let me let me 1733 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 2: get your thoughts on this. Lasses you know, I know 1734 01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:51,560 Speaker 2: North Dakota is awfully young also, right and and you 1735 01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 2: know you have some high end guys that are going 1736 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,360 Speaker 2: to be number one, number one picks. But that being said, 1737 01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,720 Speaker 2: with the influx of these Canadian junior guys, guys that 1738 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 2: are older, a little bit more grizzled, maybe not have 1739 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 2: the skill of some of the younger guys like North 1740 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 2: Dakota has, or you know, other other teams or Michigan 1741 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 2: or Michigan State or what have you. 1742 01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,799 Speaker 4: You know, will. 1743 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 2: Being older help you go farther even though you might 1744 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:26,679 Speaker 2: not be as talented. 1745 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 15: I think it still does. I think you still need 1746 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 15: to mix in the older players with the younger players. 1747 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 15: And my best example of that right now is looking 1748 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,559 Speaker 15: at BU. Bu has nineteen NHL draft picks. I don't 1749 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:48,719 Speaker 15: know if a college hockey team has ever had NHL picks, 1750 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:53,720 Speaker 15: and Bu's going through struggles like this. They're just so young. 1751 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,839 Speaker 15: They have one senior on their team and they're basically 1752 01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:01,880 Speaker 15: a five hundred team right now, and I think watching that, 1753 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,560 Speaker 15: it's like, I still think there is some value to 1754 01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,040 Speaker 15: having a really good mix of those four year guys 1755 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 15: with some of the younger players. And you know, we'll 1756 01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,080 Speaker 15: see how the ear plays out, but the teams that 1757 01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 15: have been super super young are not winning the national title. 1758 01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 15: If you want to go for a Minnesota example for 1759 01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:28,080 Speaker 15: your local audience, the best, you know, you look back 1760 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,800 Speaker 15: at that team that played in the title game against Quinnipiac. 1761 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,720 Speaker 15: That team had the mix. They were old on the 1762 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,559 Speaker 15: back end. They had some of the younger high end 1763 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 15: players like a snug root and Akolie, but really the 1764 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 15: anchor of that team was like junior Brack Favors, senior 1765 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 15: Ryan Johnson, senior Jackson Lacomb Like they were old in 1766 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:54,040 Speaker 15: certain areas, and I think that is the perfect mix 1767 01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 15: for a college hockey team. 1768 01:22:55,640 --> 01:23:01,000 Speaker 2: We had Bruce and he called last night, it's a 1769 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 2: big win for U m D over Western Michigan. Scott 1770 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 2: Sandlin's got it turned around there, doesn't he. 1771 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:14,760 Speaker 15: Yeah, And they're really being carried by one line. It's 1772 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:20,599 Speaker 15: really something that everyone goes into a game against Minnesota 1773 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,800 Speaker 15: Duluth knowing that if you shut down that top line, 1774 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 15: you're probably gonna win and nobody can do it. And 1775 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:32,360 Speaker 15: like to me, Max Plant is the guy that makes 1776 01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 15: everything happen for that line. 1777 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:34,960 Speaker 6: Max is like. 1778 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,679 Speaker 15: Zam Plant and Jason Chagabe are good players, Max is different. 1779 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,800 Speaker 15: He is special. Like I think he's ready for the 1780 01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:48,960 Speaker 15: NHL Wow who He really drives everything on that line 1781 01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 15: and you know, I think he's gonna win the Hobe 1782 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 15: Baker Award. He's one of the better players I've seen 1783 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 15: in the NCHC. And then they mixed him some. They've 1784 01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,360 Speaker 15: got some d who are starting to get a little 1785 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,680 Speaker 15: bit older. Tie answer to sophomore so he's still young, 1786 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,640 Speaker 15: but he's really good. Adam Kleeber, he's a sophomore, but 1787 01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,840 Speaker 15: he's pretty good. It's that sophomore class that's carrying the 1788 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 15: Bulldogs right now. Adam Guyana and that's yeah, finally starting. Yeah, 1789 01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,840 Speaker 15: that's been big. He he struggled last year, he went 1790 01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:18,760 Speaker 15: through some ups and downs. 1791 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 9: He's figured it out. 1792 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,000 Speaker 15: So really though that, I mean there they go as 1793 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 15: far as that sophomore class takes them.
