1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Human in British feels the snap left, puts the punt

2
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: left to right.

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: Marcus jokes he's pubbing to a half launch at the six.

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: He runs it left to the fifteen, twenty, accelerates thirty

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: thirty five, forty sting, get it off the hip, call

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 3: on your side, forty to the three. Jones gotting into

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: the twenty to the tad to the.

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: House, touchdown, Patriots.

9
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 4: Let it this?

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: Plus can you tell me that I'm ready to play

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: off football? So let's stay in this pot.

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 5: Perhaps the best punt returner in the National Football League

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 5: Marcus Jones to the house.

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: There and uh.

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 5: On the play by play portion of that equation, Bob

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 5: Soci Scott Zolac is the analyst there with the grunts,

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 5: and Bob Soci has been the play by play voice

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 5: for the Red, White and Blue of football immortality for

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 5: quite some time. And we officially unfurl our glorify the

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 5: good segment.

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: We begin with the New England Patriots.

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 5: Zolac with a Gillette up there, Foxborough away.

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean, look at them.

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 5: They're definitely ready for playoff football, aren't they, Bobby? But

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 5: they seriously are ready for playoff football, right.

26
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 4: Hey, Paul, good to be with you and absolutely and

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: when we last saw one another back in August for

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: the joint practices in the preseason game. I think there

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: were expectations, certainly that Mike Rabel would turn things around

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: for New England and that Drake May would improve dramatically

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: over his rookie season. But I think those expectations were

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: that those things would happen, they would unfold over a

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: couple of seasons, and it's been really remarkable the rapid

34
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: growth and the poise that may have shown a quarterback,

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: and the way that Vrabel has been able to push

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: all the right buttons in terms of his dealings with players,

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: the relationship building process and as well in game. A

38
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 4: lot of things have turned out well for them. It's

39
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: been a favorable schedule, for sure. They've played down this

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: most recent stretch, winning ten in a row now ten

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: straight wins for the first time since twenty fifteen, with

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: a lot of building confidence, but also of late, withstanding

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: some adversity, including really the first rash of injuries they

44
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 4: faced for a team that's not too deep so so

45
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 4: far they'rewithstanding the tests and it's really remarkable to think

46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: not only about the postseason, but about potential for postseason.

47
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 5: By right now, Bob, permit me to be the ten

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: thousandth to ask you this question.

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: What's it like working with Scott Zolac?

50
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: And I will say, Paul for the ten thousandth time,

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 4: exactly as you imagined it would be. You know, the broadcast.

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: It features two guys, often talking over one another, sometimes

53
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: screaming over one another. But we have a blast. Scott

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 4: is for the most part, wasn't too much fun the

55
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: last couple of years, going through a pair of four

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: and thirteen seasons. But Scott has animated in terms of

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 4: how he sounds, how he works, how he looks, and

58
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 4: how he is you know, off the air. That's that's

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 4: what it's like with Zie. It's quite an experience.

60
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 5: You ever, and you both are extremely gifted and a wonderful,

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: wonderful duo. Do you, Bob soci do you do you

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: ever find yourself waking up in the morning and wanting

63
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: to say, why are you looking at Beetle? I mean,

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: there are three people who understand what I just said, me,

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: you and the producer, mad producer over there. Why are

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: you looking at beetle? But that's it can definitely more

67
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: into that for mister Bob. So see ten consecutive, ten

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: consecutive for the Pats, and I caught this via Bob's

69
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: x feed where they're the only team in National Football

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 5: National Football League history to score twenty three or more

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: points ten consecutive times and allow twenty three or fewer

72
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: points ten consecutive times. I mean, what are we onto here?

73
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 5: You mentioned the injury piece and the depth or lack thereof,

74
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 5: But I watch Monday Night and I've I've seen you

75
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 5: guys play a few times this year, and yesterday I

76
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 5: went on the radio talking about your team a little bit,

77
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 5: and I'm like, hey, Drake May is going to be

78
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 5: a National Football League MVP one day. I don't know

79
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: what day that's going to be, but I honestly believe that.

80
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 5: Do you think he can soar to that height?

81
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: I do, Paul, and I think he's certainly in the

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: conversation right now for this season, which I never imagined

83
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 4: being able to say. Let alone think back in the

84
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: preseason when we last saw on another and he was

85
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: just beginning to grasp Josh McDaniel's system. But he has

86
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: this great combination obviously, the physical talent, and the attitude.

87
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: But what he's shown us this season two is that

88
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 4: he has the aptitude, his growing understanding of the offense,

89
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: the way he's able to quickly process things. It's reflected

90
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: in the stats when you look at, for example, the

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: distribution from game to game. Now, they didn't have a

92
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: one hundred yard receiver against the Giants, but if you

93
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: look at the box score, you'll see everybody involved. Everybody

94
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: who's out there is an eligible pass catcher is getting

95
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: the ball. And in the previous four games, they had

96
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: a one hundred yard receiver in each of those contests,

97
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 4: and it was a different guy every week. It was

98
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 4: Pop Douglas, it was Hunter Henry, it was maccollins. And

99
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: that's been the case with May all season long. And

100
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 4: the poise, the little things in a quarterback that really

101
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: make a significant difference. Two hands on the ball as

102
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: he's moving up, fliding in the pocket, the eyes downfield

103
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: as he's rolling out. He's starting to learn how to slide.

104
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: He did that the other night and avoided any kind

105
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 4: of a hit like Jackson Dartuk by Christian Ellis. So

106
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 4: we're just seeing continual growth week to week. And what's

107
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: funny His career high in passing yards was the previous

108
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 4: game against Cincinnati. Twittered in ninety four yards and he

109
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: came out of that game with a lot of people saying, boy,

110
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: that was a down game for Drake May. And I

111
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: think that's a sign of just, you know, how good

112
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 4: he's become right now in a very short period of time.

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: Hey, Bob, with Drake, let's go back to this time

114
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 5: last year, because clearly we have some McCarthy related terrorism here.

115
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 5: He's either not playing or he's struggling, then he's out again.

116
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 5: Then he's winning games in dramatic fashion and forest quarters.

117
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 5: So hey, kids are going to be kids managed twenty

118
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 5: two years of age. He's trying to find his feet.

119
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: But with Drake May, this time last year, like say

120
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 5: out No. Six seven starts into it. How much better

121
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 5: is he now than he was last year?

122
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 4: Oh well, it's night and day and it's not just

123
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 4: how much better is Drake May? How much better is

124
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: the offensive line? The Patriots drafted two players, one in

125
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: the first round, one on the third round, though they're

126
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: both injured right now, they have started in all but

127
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: one game for them. In the case of Will Campbell

128
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: and all the two games. In the case of third

129
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: round pick Jared Wilson, they added a veteran right tackle,

130
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: reliable guy in Morgan Moses. They brought in a free

131
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: agent center. Your former guy, Garrett Bradbury has been a

132
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: really good presence in that locker room and a really

133
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: stabilizing force, I think on the offensive line to help

134
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: Drake May with protections and such. So you start right there,

135
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: and then you look at the balance in the wide

136
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: receiver room and the tight end position. Hunter Henry is

137
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: a very underappreciated tight end in New England, I think

138
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 4: based on the body of his work since he and

139
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: the Patriots in twenty twenty one, and really over across

140
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: the league. He's not maybe in the same tier as

141
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: the elite tight ends, but he's a guy who shows

142
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: up consistently and it is really a strong security blanket

143
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: for Drake May. Diggs has helped tremendously. I think he's

144
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 4: been far better than we could have anticipated coming off

145
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: the injury, and he's fit in as a leader right now.

146
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: He's been a great leader by example and by word

147
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: on the silent, particularly with the young receivers. So it

148
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: is Drake May and how much he's improved, but it's

149
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: all those other things that going into being a good quarterback.

150
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 4: And last year is a rookie, you know, from what

151
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: I understand, like with McCarthy, Drake May was exposed, you know,

152
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: to a lot of situations where you know, the line

153
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: didn't hold up. You know, the team was struggling more so,

154
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: I think than you know, we expected going into last year.

155
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: We thought that there would be a bounce because they

156
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 4: had a great first week showing against Cincinnati and it

157
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 4: just never held up.

158
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 5: Bob Time for two more for Bob Socy. He's the box,

159
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 5: the long time radio play by play voice for the

160
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 5: New England Patriots, and this is glorifying the good talking

161
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 5: about other teams around the NFL, but specifically the really

162
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: really good ones, and the Patriots are really really good.

163
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: What do you think of the Bills? I know the

164
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: Pats got the money earlier against the Buffalo Bills, but

165
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 5: that was quite some time ago.

166
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: What do you think of the Buffalo Bills?

167
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: Well, I think the.

168
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: Bills are a team that you know, still there are

169
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: two games behind the Patriots at eight and four, but

170
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 4: they are the team that I think is still as

171
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: feared as any in the conference with good reason, because,

172
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, the Patriots have a potential MVP. The

173
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: Bills have an MVP in Josh Allen, and he's right

174
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: there again this season. What he's done in some games,

175
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 4: the way he's been able to carry that team at

176
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: times as a runner and a passer, you know, I

177
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: don't think you can ever count him out. And that's cliched.

178
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: And the Patriots are going to play them a week

179
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: from Sunday. The Bills coming off of performance where they

180
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: ran it so well against Pittsburgh and their defense has

181
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: shown signs of improvement. They had a rough first half

182
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: against Houston, both offensively and defensively, but they might have

183
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: found their identity in that Pittsburgh game, and their defense

184
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: has done a great job really since the second half

185
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: of the Houston game through the Pittsburgh contest. There's a

186
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 4: lot of experience over there. There's a lot of winning

187
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: experience over there. I don't think that the receivers necessarily

188
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: are as talented as dangerous as some of the groups

189
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: we've seen in the past. I don't necessarily think that

190
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 4: the defense has been as good as some of the

191
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: units that we've seen in the past. But I think

192
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 4: given the landscape of the AFC, you know, and the

193
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: fact that it's Josh Allen that you have to deal

194
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: with in Buffalo if you end up playing there. In

195
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 4: the Patriots right now are in position where they could

196
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: host the Bills if they ever meet them a third

197
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: time this year, but that's gonna be a very very

198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 4: difficult task to see Buffalo, whether it's home or away,

199
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 4: but especially I think, you know up in Orchard Park,

200
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: the albatross for them has been Kansas City, and right now,

201
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: obviously the Chiefs are on the outside looking in.

202
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: My brother, thanks very much for the chat.

203
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: Wonderful, wonderful perch chat too during the joint practices, and

204
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: you know, in those joint practices what we saw with

205
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 5: the Vikings in New England Patriots on that second day.

206
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm like, hey, geez, holy cow, we might

207
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 5: be really good and they might have some troubles. But

208
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: that's why we don't base opinions of joint practices, because

209
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 5: your squad is on fire, man, and I wish nothing

210
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 5: but the best for you, your family and this football team.

211
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Bob.

212
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: Hey, Paul really appreciate it. Same with same to you, Bob.

213
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 5: Socy I, played by play voice the box for the

214
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: New England Patriots. John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild,

215
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: joins right around fifteen seventeen minutes from now you're listening

216
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 5: to nine to now, Well, off that off that glorifying

217
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: the good conversation.

218
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: You know it.

219
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 5: In really non snarky fashion. Uh it is perhaps this this?

220
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: iHeart software Windows update? Am I looking to restart or snooze?

221
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: Do you have a snooze option?

222
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 6: I got a snooze option, yeah, past pass that onto

223
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 6: the program, are you sure?

224
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay it and then he'll.

225
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 6: Have to deal with it in two hours and then

226
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 6: he'll snooze it. He'll pass it on to bumper to bumper,

227
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 6: he'll snooze it, okay, and then the power trip and

228
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 6: the cycle repeats.

229
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 5: But shouldn't shouldn't the snooze option be available?

230
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: Noon to three? I always love that one? All right? Yeah,

231
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: I'll just hit so why didn't you laugh of that one?

232
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 6: You know?

233
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: It was funny? Love, I am laughing, you know it's funny.

234
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: How come you didn't audibly laugh at that one?

235
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 5: Ac acadac take that snooze shot and give it a whack.

236
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: The the Pats the Pats.

237
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 5: You see this really is in non snooze or snarky

238
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 5: like fashion because but it's fact. The Minnesota Vikings are

239
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 5: going to finish the twenty twenty five regular season with

240
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: the worst record in the NFC North. They are going

241
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 5: to be fourth in the North. They are going to

242
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 5: finish in last place. Does that mean we don't have

243
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: to do the NFC debate? Then that's a state fair.

244
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: Oh like we just we set it up. This is

245
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 5: potentially the greatest news I've ever professionally received in my life.

246
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 6: Let's get Hatch involved and we just let Lavelle, sinny

247
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 6: And and Jason Hatch represent the other three teams in

248
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 6: the North.

249
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: You and I go grab them, go grab a fronto.

250
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: Poff and you know what. The pregame show for that

251
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 5: is tomorrow at eleven fifteen. I always love that's right

252
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: when Sinnecon and Lavell are in studio and I'm going

253
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: to introduce them and and have you figure out some

254
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 5: form of game or trivia game or something like that

255
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 5: that involves five questions.

256
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm on it.

257
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 5: It's one marathon segment. Yeah, And the Sultan of Smug

258
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 5: and Wobble Wobble, Wobble, Wobble, Toil and Wobble. They're going

259
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: to go back and forth on just a Life Changer

260
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 5: this weekend at three twenty five.

261
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: The Bears.

262
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 6: See, so you're starting to piss me off a little

263
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 6: bit because it's cool to have games that matter. It's

264
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 6: cool to have games that matter, right, It's cool to

265
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 6: be in the mix.

266
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I know, I like it when my team's in the mix.

267
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 6: I'm not the one that should be frustrating you. I'm

268
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 6: not the one that's true. It's not your fault. No,

269
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 6: I have nothing to do with it.

270
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: No, you don't.

271
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to figure out who Ernest Jones the

272
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: fourth is. For seventy yards and four seconds of real

273
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 5: time life, you found it, though, That's my lot in life,

274
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 5: and you know, hey, we all, you know, we all

275
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 5: leave a little to be desired at times, and then

276
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 5: sometimes there's a lot to be desired.

277
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 6: Anatomy of a play call for a four win team.

278
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 6: Your ability to buy yourself time by saying awful decision

279
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: by Max helped you for an extra twenty yards as

280
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 6: you scrambled down the depth chart to find mister Jones.

281
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: You know where all the bones are buried.

282
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 5: There's no doubt when it comes to me executing my

283
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: play by play toil and you are dead right. So

284
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 5: the New England Patriots, as we glorify the good, and

285
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 5: we do so for about ninety more seconds, they absolutely

286
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: part of their success winning ten consecutive only team in

287
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 5: NFL history to score twenty three or more points and

288
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 5: not allow twenty three points or more ten consecutive games.

289
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: Now, that's fantastic.

290
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: But they definitely are to a certain extent feasting on

291
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 6: a last play schedule. Now that there is a fly

292
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: in this proverbial oointment, it's kind of like the wild

293
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 6: being acid tested for class against teams like Edmonton and

294
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 6: Calgary and Seattle and things like that coming up. Well, yeah,

295
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 6: that's what happens when you play in the best division

296
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 6: in the National ocy Lague. And that's what happens when

297
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 6: you play in the division in the National Football League.

298
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 6: That's true the NFC North. So yes, last place schedule

299
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 6: for the Pats, but it doesn't change. They still play

300
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 6: the Jets twice, right, they still play the Dolphins twice yep.

301
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: Well, oh yeah, and then you got.

302
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 6: They got the Bills and they beat in primetime earlier

303
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 6: this year at Buffalo, Right, yeah, wow. So think about

304
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 6: this though, can a team beat the I mean, if

305
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 6: if the road goes through Gillette, last place schedule be damned.

306
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 6: That's where there's a frustrating aspect to the when we

307
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 6: talk about last place schedules in that vein is if

308
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 6: the Patriots feast on it. They're the number one seed

309
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 6: in the AFC in a weird year with wonky, inconsistent,

310
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 6: top heavy teams as they are. Yeah, can you win

311
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 6: at Gillette and bounce? Can you bounce frable? Wait at

312
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 6: home in January? If they get the one seed.

313
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: Wait.

314
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 5: When I came into the genesis of this bit a

315
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: day and a half ago, I was really excited to

316
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 5: look at last place teams from last year and see

317
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 5: what they were doing. Yeah, because I'm like, hey, well

318
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 5: we got the band yep, oh now okay, little Bears nine,

319
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 5: Well we got the Pats. It gets a little crickety

320
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 5: after that, it does. San Francisco. San Francisco ran last

321
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 5: last year, and it also is in what has turned

322
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 5: out to be a pretty tough division. Arizona makes life

323
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 5: difficult on everybody. I think the Rams still have an

324
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: excellent chance to go to the Super Bowl.

325
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 6: Browns, Titans, and Raiders doing what last place teams do. Yeah,

326
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: you can't make the schedule easy enough. Before we almost

327
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 6: killed the bit Saints are still the Saints.

328
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: Yep, well they didn't. They tire for last with the Panthers. Saints,

329
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: they were tied for last year.

330
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 5: The Panther save will turned it all around last place schedule.

331
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 5: So just in case anybody's interested, it's New England worse

332
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: to first then its last can't be passed. Last place

333
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: schedule with the Vikings finishing last in the NFC North

334
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 5: sneak peek at twenty twenty six meet. As of now,

335
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: our home games and road games will be Detroit, Green

336
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 5: Bay in Chicago, and they're all good. But at home

337
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 5: we're going to get with this last place piece Atlanta, Carolina,

338
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 5: the Giants, Tennessee, Buffalo, and Miami on the road, Detroit

339
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: Green Bay in Chicago. On the road, we will get

340
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay, Nollans at Drake May the Jets in Arizona.

341
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: But we have nine at home. Yeah, and we got

342
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: nine at home. And winning on the road.

343
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 5: Against the Jets in New Orleans is not supposed to

344
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 5: be difficult, so.

345
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: Hashtag Faith Radio. We're back.

346
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: Don't call it a comeback? Why never been gone? Here

347
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 5: comes Heinze. Now I can't we can't wait until tomorrow

348
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 5: because it's another opportunity to root for the Minnesota Wild

349
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 5: taking on the Calgary Flames. Having won they're ten oh

350
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: and two of the last twelve and put a shutout

351
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: on the Oilers last night, first time Edmonton has been

352
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 5: blanked all year. Valstatt gets the shutout was terrific as usual,

353
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 5: but that's smart controlled defense and so on. Is where

354
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 5: we begin with John Hines, coach of the Minnesota While

355
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 5: coach Hines, it's Paul Allen. How are you, my friend?

356
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 5: I'm great, you good morning, How are you good? Congratulations

357
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 5: on last night and the way things have gone of

358
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: late and with with the shutout, you know they're they're yes,

359
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 5: first obviously done things incredibly well of late. But like

360
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 5: I was saying, the smart controlled, sacrificing defense in front

361
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 5: of him really paved the way for the win. In

362
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 5: my estimation, what what were some of the keys?

363
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would agree. I thought, you know, it seems

364
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 7: really committed to playing playing strong defense, and you know,

365
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 7: I think it's a combination of excellent goaltending and a

366
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 7: group of guys that's committed to play play the game

367
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 7: the right way and defend hard. And usually when when

368
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 7: you get solid goaltender, you know there's going to be

369
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 7: greatdowns in the game where the other team's going to

370
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 7: have really good players that make good plays throughout the

371
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 7: game that sometimes you can't do anything about. And right

372
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 7: now when those are occurring, we're getting great saves by

373
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 7: both guys. Wal He's been really solid, Guss and solid, right.

374
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 7: But I think you know, they're confident as two goaltenders, uh,

375
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 7: and our team's confident in them. And when you have

376
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 7: that combination of two, he's at the recipe.

377
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, the uh, the man you call Wally leads the

378
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 5: league in shutouts with four, all of in the last

379
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 5: six games.

380
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

381
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 5: With him particularly, is he as confident and seeing it

382
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 5: as clearly right now as maybe almost you know any

383
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 5: time you've been around period.

384
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he's I mean he's obviously seen the

385
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 7: puck well, and I mean the thing that sticks out

386
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 7: is that he's you know, he looks, he looks confident.

387
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 7: He's a big, big goalie. You know he blocks well,

388
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 7: he's not you know, swimming around in the crease. He's

389
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 7: just really positionally sound. He makes he makes the routine

390
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 7: saves easy. He makes hard saves look easy because his positioning.

391
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 7: And you know, the thing I like about him too

392
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 7: is there's a little bit of I like how he

393
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 7: competes too, you know, like he fights through traffic. He's

394
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 7: got second effort on plays. It's hard to it's hard

395
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 7: to put the puck by him, you know, when they

396
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 7: get into all those scrums or you know, he's got

397
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 7: to fight for second effort opportunities in the net. That's

398
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 7: a that's a big part of being a goaltender too,

399
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 7: not only for himself, but I think it bleeds into

400
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 7: the team too as well.

401
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: When when when you see that you have it in

402
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 5: you to stop McKennon and macarr and to shootout like

403
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 5: last Friday and win a game. I mean, that just

404
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 5: has to send the confidence staring right.

405
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, it certainly does. I think. You know, when you

406
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 7: get into the three on three, it's you know, there's

407
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 7: usually going to be a couple of chances either way.

408
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 7: But I think as a group, if we get into

409
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 7: those shootouts, we feel like we got two goalies that

410
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 7: are that you know, can get it done in the shootout,

411
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 7: and we also have guys that are good, good shootouts shooters,

412
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 7: So when we those situations, I think the group feels confident.

413
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 5: The second period save on Hymen was one of many

414
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: fantastic moments that was a doozy right there though Rodein

415
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: for those who missed it, Rodein dives misses it. Hyman

416
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 5: gets to the backhand in tight quarters which was smooth

417
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 5: and is stopped by Yesper with favor laid on the

418
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 5: scene to poke it away. I mean that one for

419
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 5: a second had to have you shaken in your loafers.

420
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, yeah, for sure, And that's what I mean.

421
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 7: I think you get in some of those situations where

422
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 7: there's a good play made and right now, whether it's

423
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 7: the goaltending or the guys in front of them, there's

424
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 7: either a big save or a shot block or a

425
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 7: second effort stick. You know, that's allowing those those plays

426
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 7: to be nullified, and that's usually a good recipe for

427
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 7: giving yourself a chance to win.

428
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 5: Every night with John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild,

429
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: at the Calgary tomorrow evening four game Pacific Northwest Western.

430
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: Canada Swing and so far.

431
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: I want to know, having beaten McDavid and Edmonton last night,

432
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 5: shut them out or shut out this year Edmonston's taken

433
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 5: well done with with with both your goalies, with a

434
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 5: Wally and Gus, with both your goalies, is it fair

435
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 5: to say when you guys like when mistakes are made,

436
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 5: that those two are playing so well that they're able

437
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 5: to cover up said mistakes.

438
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that's that's when I what I talked about

439
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 7: earlier with the trust. You know, I think when your

440
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 7: goaltenders are playing well, that when there are breakdowns or

441
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 7: they are mistakes, that doesn't wind up in the back

442
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 7: of your net. So your team can play. Your team

443
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 7: plays confident and with some you know, with some swagger

444
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 7: that they're not concerned that every time there's a mistake

445
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 7: or a breakdown or a misread or a great play

446
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 7: by the other team, the puck's going to wind up

447
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 7: in the back of the net. But in turn, you know,

448
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 7: the way that the team plays in front of the

449
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 7: goaltenders gives them confidence too to so when you have

450
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: that combination, it's usually it's usually the best because the

451
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 7: goaltenders give the team confidence and the team gives the

452
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 7: goaltenders confidence, and that's when you can you can keep

453
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 7: it rolling.

454
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 5: And in the business, we call that iron sharpening iron,

455
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 5: don't we coach Eines?

456
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 7: Oh I like that. I like that. I'm gonna use

457
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 7: that one.

458
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: How about how about Brodean on McDavid.

459
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 5: It's it's a team game here, man, So I'm not,

460
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 5: you know, making it sound like it's, you know, Sauce

461
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 5: Gardner opposite Tyreek Hill just shutting him down the entire game.

462
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: But Brodean on McDavid, what what are some things he

463
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 5: did to keep one of the game's very best off kilter,

464
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 5: and and and and just overall? What made Brodean so

465
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 5: hard to play against last night?

466
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean Jonas Is He's he's a guy that's

467
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 7: you know, as a coaching staff, we have a lot

468
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 7: of confidence to to play him against top players. You know,

469
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 7: he's got a wealth of experience. He's a really smart player.

470
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 7: He's got he's got a great feat skating, so he

471
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 7: can skate with the top players. And he's got great

472
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 7: stick position, good good defensive instincts, and he competes and

473
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 7: you know, when he's at the top of his game,

474
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 7: he's one of the best that that I've been around

475
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 7: that can play against that caliber player, the mckinnons, the McDavis,

476
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 7: the dry titles. Even though he may not be the

477
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 7: biggest guy, he's smart, competitive, great skater, good instincts, and

478
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 7: an excellent stick.

479
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 5: That's a big statement. You've been around quite some time

480
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 5: head coach in multiple places. Uh, the the one of

481
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 5: the best that plays against big timers like McKinnon and

482
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 5: McDavid and and players like that, Right, I mean that

483
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 5: that that's what Jonas is compensated to do.

484
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: And it sounds like he's coming through more than he's not.

485
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I would agree with that. He's you know,

486
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 7: I would say on the other side of it as well.

487
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 7: You know, when, for example, let's say when Protein's out

488
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 7: of our lineup, if he's injured.

489
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: Or whatever it might be.

490
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 7: You know, you you you missed that component of his

491
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 7: game is his ability to match up against top players.

492
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 7: But he's also a really good puck moving defenseman. You know,

493
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 7: he's one. He's a guy that can get you out

494
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 7: of your own whether it's by himself as skating or

495
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 7: he can just move the pocket, makes simple plays and

496
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 7: he advances to puck to our forwards and so that's

497
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 7: also a big part of being able to be effective

498
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 7: against top players, because if you can do that, you

499
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 7: don't have to defend as much.

500
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 2: All go times.

501
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 5: Why why was it now you win one zero and

502
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 5: you win a regulation, so you get to and give zero,

503
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 5: which rocks. But why was it so difficult to get

504
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 5: great a chances five on five really for both teams?

505
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 7: Well, I think from our you know, from our perspective,

506
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 7: I think we're playing with strong, you know, pretty strong

507
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 7: defensive structure. I think we're taking taking away the middle

508
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 7: of the ice. We have a real commitment to getting

509
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 7: shot lanes and block shots. You know, that doesn't allow

510
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 7: the pucks to get into those areas as often. And

511
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 7: although I think Edmonton's obviously had their struggle, I would

512
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 7: say that, you know, last night, I thought they defended

513
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 7: pretty hard as well. It was tough to get shots

514
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 7: through to the net. I thought their their goaltender made

515
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 7: some good saves and we had looks. Our guy made

516
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 7: saves when when they had looks. But I say that

517
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 7: they did a good job as well. I think of

518
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 7: defensive commitment, you know, particularly in their own end or

519
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 7: off the rush of taking away in the middle of the.

520
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 5: Ice when you come into a game and you scheme

521
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 5: it up with our practices and morning skates and stuff

522
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 5: to keep teams on the perimeter, to keep them on

523
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 5: the outside. Is is that kind of an every game

524
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: thing or is a team specific?

525
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 7: No, I would you know what it's a it's an

526
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 7: every It's an every day thing for us. Really is

527
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 7: you know, you have to be strong structure, and you

528
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 7: have to be you have to be committed to play

529
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 7: when you when you don't have the puck. You have

530
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 7: to be able to be committed to have certain habits

531
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 7: and play to the structure that we tried to provide

532
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 7: for the players and they bought in and they're committed

533
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 7: to that. I would say, game to game, there's there's

534
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 7: different things that teams do, so as a coaching staff

535
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 7: will go through you know, for example, last night, we

536
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 7: knew we had to be good in our defensive zone

537
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 7: because they do certain things offensively. But also say, for

538
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 7: example with McDavid and dry on guys like that, it's

539
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 7: also your line rush against defense. It's your for checking structure.

540
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 7: It's not giving up otoman rushes and giving them easy offense.

541
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 7: So some of that stuff is team specific. As well.

542
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 5: Faber played the final two and a half minutes during

543
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 5: the game ceiling kill.

544
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

545
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: Wow, holy cow, I mean that that's I mean, I know,

546
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 5: I know it's a penalty kill. But that's iron man

547
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 5: stuff right there in hockey, isn't it.

548
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, Fabe, you know we rely on him as well,

549
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 7: you know, similar to a Brodein. And you know that

550
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 7: last two and a half minutes, you know, we're in

551
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 7: some we're in some heat, right, they're going to pull

552
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 7: the goalie and at penalty and you know, but he's

553
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 7: a guy that's in fantastic shape. He's a tremendous competitor.

554
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 7: And you know, one of the things as the coaching

555
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 7: staff we talked about earlier in the year was it's

556
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 7: almost like the more minutes he plays, the more effective

557
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 7: he can be. And you know, it's nice that we

558
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 7: have some guys like a very like a favor Berdein,

559
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 7: eck Boldie to pre Stoft. These guys, you know, you

560
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 7: count on them in a lot of key situations. But

561
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 7: they're fitness level and their competitiveness and and and you know,

562
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 7: they they're guys that can handle those types of loads

563
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 7: because of the way they they take care of themselves

564
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 7: and the competitive nature that they have.

565
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 5: Last one coach, thanks for the time from UH from

566
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 5: Western Canada at at Calgary tomorrow night. Wally Walstad shut

567
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 5: them out a few weeks ago. Do you come back

568
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 5: with him or is this a gust game.

569
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 7: That's something we're going to meet here in a little

570
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 7: bit as coaches and and discussed. As I said before,

571
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: I think that both you know, both goaltenders have played well,

572
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 7: and you know, we've had a pretty good rotation here

573
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 7: and you know, one of the things I think, you

574
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 7: know we've talked about is that when you have two

575
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 7: guys playing well, it's it's nice because they're both fresh.

576
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 7: And I think when one guy plays, he's fresh and

577
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 7: he's ready, and he's competing for the team and he's

578
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 7: competing against the other guy in a healthy way. But

579
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,479
Speaker 7: I also think when the guy that doesn't play, he

580
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 7: has opportunities to stay you know, fresh, and also gives

581
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 7: an opportunity to work on certain things with Freddie where

582
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 7: you know, they can stay sharpen their details, and I

583
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 7: think that's helped both guys. So we'll make the determination

584
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 7: on who's going to play tomorrow.

585
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 5: Probably later today, John and and knowing head coaches as

586
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 5: well as I've gotten to know them and work with

587
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: them over you know, two and a half plus decades.

588
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 5: Is I would imagine at ten oh and two, you know,

589
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 5: beating Colorado the way you did getting those two points

590
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 5: on Friday. Just as a head coach more so, thinking

591
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 5: about your players and social media and stuff. Two of

592
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 5: the last things you want to deal with right now

593
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: are constantly hearing you're one of the best teams in

594
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 5: the NHL, which you are, but you're one of the

595
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 5: best teams in the NHL. And and yes, yesper valstat

596
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: is just a stone hen just can't be beat.

597
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I'm saying there.

598
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 5: It's not that it would change everything, but you guys

599
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 5: like to minimize distractions, right.

600
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, you certainly do. And I think you know, one

601
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 7: of the things for us is, you know, it's a

602
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 7: it's a it's a daily process in this league, and

603
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 7: you know you've got to be prepared every day. You've

604
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 7: got to be ready every day. There's different challenges. So

605
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 7: for us, it's not so much about where our record

606
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 7: is and and being being a top team or whatever

607
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 7: that may be, because it's a slippery slope you know,

608
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 7: seven weeks ago, we weren't. And you know, for us,

609
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 7: I think moving forward, particularly tomorrow's we didn't handle a

610
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 7: situation a couple of days ago where we beat Colorado,

611
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 7: when we came back and we played Buffalo and we

612
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 7: didn't bring our best, And I think if you want

613
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 7: to be an elite team in this league, it's about

614
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: getting ready for the next one. And that's a challenge

615
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 7: is to Yes, we had a good win and it

616
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 7: was it was a shutout against you know, a good team,

617
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 7: but now, what's our preparation going to be tomorrow? So

618
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 7: for us, it's that's how we focus as coaches, and

619
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 7: that's what we're going to try to get our players

620
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 7: to be able to do as well for tomorrow.

621
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean those are high end expectations of near perfection.

622
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: It's fantastic.

623
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 5: But I mean, like, you know, watching that Colorado game

624
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 5: and the emotional wherewith all the came out of it

625
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 5: and stuff, and having Buffalo the next day. No, granted

626
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: I was traveling to Seattle, so I didn't see it,

627
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 5: so maybe maybe they didn't play well, but I mean,

628
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 5: I mean, you you know that they're just not going

629
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 5: to take down to every single game. And one thing

630
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: that I think is cool in situations like that, when

631
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 5: you're able to get the one when you look back

632
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 5: at at like the totality of the season, moments like

633
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: that are key.

634
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, they are key. Ands It's it's all about, you know,

635
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 7: it's about consistency. It's it's such a hard lead to

636
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 7: win in every night that it I mean, it truly

637
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 7: does require, you know, a certain mindset and and toughness

638
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 7: about you and the team to make sure that you know,

639
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 7: sometimes you may not have your A game every night,

640
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 7: but it's you have to find ways to win and

641
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 7: try to be at your best. And you know, if

642
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 7: you don't have your A game, you got to have

643
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 7: a B game. But you know, I think it to

644
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 7: re really consistent, it can't drop past that. So you know,

645
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 7: for us, it's about you know, the guys have a

646
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 7: recovery day today and then we get back to work tomorrow.

647
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 7: And I'm excited to see our response to see if.

648
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 5: We can meet that child right on, my man, fantastic

649
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,480

00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: See great work by those guys, truly, I mean, seriously,

652
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 5: very very well done Coach Eines and the Minnesota Wild.

653
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: Let's play Huggay.

654
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 5: Can't wait to chat tomorrow when we rise and shine.

655
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 5: At nine, here comes Big Daddy Khn with that wrap

656
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: on the show.

657
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: Big Boys back time for two more good stuff. The

658
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: game is over.

659
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 6: All right this season, it's gotten to a point where

660
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 6: it cannot be fixed with a well rolled joint and

661
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 6: there's no urges to chill and no spelling.

662
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: Relax, and it's just what we have in our young quarterbacks.

663
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: Is it over?

664
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 6: That question is rhetorical as some bad trends start looking historical.

665
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: You cannot win at home.

666
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 6: The defense never takes, and the offense every week mistake

667
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 6: after mistake, so all of us in need of a respite.

668
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: This time it's driving all of us bats.

669
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 6: So we have SUSI on to going and five the

670
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 6: good and then we skate on over well to the hardwood.

671
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 6: The Wolves double feature. They're winning at the Pels and

672
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 6: it's aunt every night. He's firing bombshells, yes sir, yesper

673
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 6: on an absolute heater as the hockey team moving the meter.

674
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,320
