It's 52 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 5: a developing story in the Western Conference that bears following. 53 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: The Dallas Stars have lost four consecutive and the Minnesota 54 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 5: Wild have gotten healthy. The Wild of nine to play 55 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 5: the Stars ten, and the teams meet a week from 56 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 5: Thursday down Big b Way. Now the developing story is 57 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 5: the Stars can't win. We got all our guys back, 58 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 5: we got the gang back, and we're just three points 59 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,559 Speaker 5: behind said Stars for second in the Western Conference. 60 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: We got ten to go and they got nine to go, 61 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: or vice versa. 62 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 5: Not we got nine to go, they got ten to go, 63 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 5: and they can't win and they can't score. 64 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: And that's pretty cool. 65 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 5: So why is beating, tying and passing them so tantamount? 66 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 5: And it's still it's not a puncher's chance, but it 67 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 5: certainly is not favored. But nevertheless, why is beating, tying 68 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 5: and passing the Dallas Stars so tantamount? It provides you 69 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 5: home ice in the first round and the ever important 70 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 5: last change. 71 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: I always love that one for the first. 72 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 5: To get the last change, last change home hees. 73 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: You know it's it's weird. 74 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 7: The text line six four six eight six, I don't 75 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 7: know who this is, Craig Ell and Saint Paul says, 76 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 7: And it's an extra night of gate receipts at Grand 77 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 7: Casino Arena. 78 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 5: Ain't no doubt about that. Yeah, that certainly could have 79 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 5: been included in the equation because we should like when 80 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 5: the local owners make money, because they make money and 81 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 5: purportedly they spend money and that makes the teams better. 82 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 5: So beating tyn end or passing the hated Stars, it's paramount, 83 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 5: It's tantamount. It's needed. Home ice in the first round, 84 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 5: ever important. Last change, last change that matters. Use whomever 85 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 5: you want against Robertson and Ranton in and and and Johnston. 86 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 5: Last change is potentially the greatest game changer in the 87 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: history of sports. 88 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: I just still don't fully embrace or understand it. 89 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 5: What I do get is home ice is good for 90 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 5: the fans, and like Craig l said, it's good for 91 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 5: the owner and the old gate receipts. 92 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: I just love there's something to chase. 93 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 7: With nine games left, man, whether whether we were at 94 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 7: boxing the box the last couple of times, the conversation 95 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 7: has been how do you mentally handle this stretch into 96 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 7: the postseason with effectively nothing to play for? And you know, 97 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 7: there was a bit of frustration from my standpoint where 98 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 7: when they lost those three in a row, there was 99 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 7: a ton to play for at the time, and just 100 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 7: simply doing the math and going back in time and 101 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 7: harping on things that already happened, as futile as that. 102 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: Can be, You've always been a big dweller. 103 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 7: You play, you play the numbers game and then and 104 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 7: getting that extra game at home does matter. With the 105 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 7: way these two teams match up. Oh, by the way, 106 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 7: the kid in between the pipes, we know them well. 107 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 7: The Minnesota kid happens to be pretty damn good in 108 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 7: front of his home fans down in Big d So 109 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 7: the ability to bring an extra one up here, I 110 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 7: love it. Something to chase with those nine games remaining 111 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 7: the three points. It's it's a lofty stre to get 112 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 7: over that hump at this stage, but they've put us 113 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 7: back in it, back in the chase, and I love it. 114 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 2: Last change, I always love that one. 115 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 5: We get the Bees tomorrow and Dallas has Sid the 116 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 5: Kid and is on the road at Pittsburgh.

What that means is 180 00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 5: like with Trey Kaufman Wren. Trey Kaufman Wren. What that 181 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 5: means is little Larry from Lafayette who wants to be 182 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 5: the next Trey Kauffman Wren can secure a game worn 183 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 5: jersey in middle school and still root for his favorite 184 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 5: player wearing his favorite colors four years later. Here's to 185 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 5: loyalty and an excellent decision of this young man to 186 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 5: dedicate himself to those colors and cohesiveness with his dogs. 187 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 5: The Iowa Nebraska game wasn't a Sweet sixteen contest. It 188 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 5: had some identity crisis to it. Iowa's best player is 189 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 5: Bennett Sturtz, who went from D two Northwest Missouri State, 190 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 5: then he went to Drake, then he ended up in Iowa. 191 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 5: Pryce Sandfort Price Sanfert is Nebraska's best player, and he 192 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 5: played for the Hawkeyes just last year. He was a 193 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 5: Hawkeye last year, but opted to leave for the greener 194 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 5: pastures of Link you know, the rolling hills that don't 195 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 5: exist in the flatland of Nebraska, where you can stand 196 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 5: on a rock and see for five hundred miles. 197 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: But we digress. 198 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 5: That decision can't feel that great right now for my man, 199 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 5: given his dogs from days gone by just bounced him 200 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: from one shining moment. That decision perhaps wasn't the greatest, 201 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 5: but Iowa replaced him with a transferring Sturtz. It was 202 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 5: Drake who took that l and the free agency folly 203 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 5: of college sports continues to churn. 204 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 7: Is that enough in just a short tournament fashion of 205 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 7: wetting your palate in terms of the idea that Cinderella's 206 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 7: and the underdogs can still potentially thrive, because that's really 207 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 7: been you know, last year, all four number one seeds 208 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 7: make the final four, and this time around you're watching 209 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 7: in Iowa. You mentioned nil and you know the I 210 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 7: remember NC State a couple of years ago they made it, 211 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 7: I believe, to the final four as like a ten 212 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 7: or and eleven seed and the entire squad was nil transfers. 213 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 7: It all came together. It was like a bunch of 214 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 7: twenty two and twenty three year olds handling business and 215 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 7: kind of the frustration around Nil and the transfer portal itself, 216 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 7: but where it was almost just it felt chalky. Florida 217 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 7: obviously is going to find their way through this regional. 218 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 7: They get bounced by the Hawkeyes and you see what 219 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 7: I was with a very good chance to beat Illinois 220 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 7: in advance to the final four. Does that wet your 221 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 7: palette to the idea that there's still some magic in 222 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 7: late March with this tourney or is it still the 223 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 7: resignation that in the end that big timer for VCU 224 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 7: is going to end up playing for the Aliini that. 225 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: Beat them in the tournament last week. You know what 226 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 2: I mean? 227 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, the answer would be yet, because the days of 228 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 5: the deep seeds, Yeah, the Mid America deep Seeds, the 229 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 5: Shaka Smart bit, the nine, the tens, the elevens, the 230 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 5: twelves and stuff, winning and. 231 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 2: Winning and winning. 232 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 5: I don't think those days will ever happen again. So 233 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 5: maybe the new fangled vibe with that in the free 234 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 5: agency folly that is college sports is if like a 235 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 5: four or a five is able to advance to the 236 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 5: final four. Yeah, that's like your new age ten, eleven 237 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 5: or twelve. The Iowa Nebraska game with that identity crisis 238 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 5: that Huskers loss, Nordo mentioned it earlier, Actually the analyst 239 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 5: did when we heard that. Kevin Harlan call Fred Hoiberg 240 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 5: is Big ten coach of the year, and he shouldered 241 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 5: the blame following the game. You see, basketball was created 242 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 5: to be a five on five game. Yet in a 243 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 5: key moment late one that led to a massive Iowa layup, 244 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 5: the Huskers attacked it with four guys on the court. 245 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 5: They only have four guys on the court, and man, 246 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 5: that layup was big. Like the Huskers only got four 247 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 5: out there. Hoiberg and the staff are like, we don't 248 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 5: have enough men out there. No quote the mayor put that. 249 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: One on me. 250 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 5: It was a miscommunication and I'm the head coach, so 251 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 5: put that one on me. What's he talking about? We 252 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 5: don't have enough men out there? 253 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: No, no greffing the passer. 254 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 5: The mayor went on to say he wasn't sure whether 255 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 5: the officials should have checked to make sure the team 256 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: at five players on the court before they restarted the game, 257 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 5: and old Freddie said, quote, I've never been in a 258 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 5: situation like that. I know they always count to make 259 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 5: sure there's not six. I don't know the rule on 260 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 5: that with four, but yeah, again, it was a miscommunication 261 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 5: and unfortunately it happened. But as far as the rule, 262 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 5: I've never been a part of anything like that. Well, 263 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 5: the referees had to be like, dang, you guys going 264 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 5: to try to win this thing with. 265 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: Four on five? All right, boys, let's have that. 266 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 5: It very unfortunate set of circumstances for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. 267 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 5: By the way, the Minnesota twinyg medics.

I 294 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 6: did get last year's because he was on Paternitia leave. 295 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 6: I will say that, you know, I got to cover 296 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 6: three Stanley Cup runs in a row by them, One 297 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 6: that they went you know, three rounds and didn't win 298 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 6: it in the fourth, then two where they went all 299 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 6: four rounds. I've been to a couple of GMS, meaning 300 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 6: so it hasn't bothered me as much. But I have 301 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 6: let him know that that deal has ended this season 302 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 6: and I will be taking next years. 303 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 304 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean especially today when it's like twenty degrees here. 305 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 2: By the way, Joe does awesome work. 306 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 5: And when I cracked open the Athletic for the Gamer, 307 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 5: I mean I saw Sunrise dash in the lead. I'm like, wow, 308 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 5: what a, what a what a gracious friend and co 309 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 5: worker Michael gave Joe the order trip all right, Tom 310 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 5: ericsonek wins it with four point four seconds to play, 311 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 5: which is the latest go ahead goal in Wild history. 312 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 5: It's a gutsy win and now they're just three behind 313 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: the Dallas Stars for second in the division and home 314 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 5: ice Round one. I brought something up in the opening 315 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 5: segment that's a really inside hockey and I want to 316 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 5: get your opinion on it, right before the final face 317 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 5: off of the game, right before ericson X scores the 318 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 5: game winning goal. Now Florida wins the face off and 319 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 5: it becomes a broken play and the puck comes out 320 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 5: near the blue line and Faber picks it up, snaps 321 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 5: one in there. Eric Sineck with the rebound and there's 322 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 5: your dagger. But Hughesy and Faber had a sneaky little 323 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 5: conversation before the faceoff and they change spots. What goes 324 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 5: into that? Because you're an elite inside hockey mind. 325 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think obviously I would need to talk to Quinn. 326 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 6: But the way that I read it at the time 327 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 6: was that Quinn would setting himself up for one timer 328 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 6: and the ability of Brock to slide right if the 329 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 6: lane opened up to create that lane. So I think 330 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 6: I think the play there was exactly was exactly what 331 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 6: happened is that is that he slid right and found 332 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 6: the shooting lane and shot it, and the shooting. 333 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 8: Lane wasn't there. 334 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 6: Quinn setting up for a one time or so they're 335 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 6: getting themselves both on their sort of off sides there 336 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 6: to create for a better shoot with a better shooting lane. 337 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 6: You know, I think the goal there was to win 338 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 6: the draw. They lose it, you know, frankly, if they 339 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 6: knew they were going to lose the draw that you 340 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 6: Quinn stays there because you want your guy on your 341 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 6: on your strong. 342 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 8: Side, basically stopping that park. 343 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 6: But Faber on his off on his backhand, did a 344 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 6: great job buck in and then he realized he realized 345 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 6: at that point the clock is coming down and he 346 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 6: basically had to shoot and couldn't set up for the 347 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 6: one time. 348 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: I'm I'm sorry to cut you off. You're unbelievable. 349 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 5: You're absolutely unbelievable in Ears wide because I set you 350 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 5: up for that, because I had a sneaky phone call 351 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 5: between segments one and two with somebody who knew exactly 352 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 5: the reason they switched spots, all right, and so I'm like, oh, 353 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 5: I got him, and he's not even in sunrise to 354 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 5: have the sneaky conversations. So I'm gonna have the sneak 355 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 5: So I had the sneaky conversation. 356 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: You know what I was told. 357 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 5: They switched spots because the set play was to get 358 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 5: Hughesy set up for a one time or to win 359 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 5: the game. Faber ended up being on his backhand side. 360 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 5: It didn't go the right way. Why because it's hockey. 361 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 5: But Faber gets it, goes to Hugh's spot and snaps 362 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 5: one off and Neck wins it. 363 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: Are you kidding? I mean, you couldn't You couldn't have 364 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 2: nailed that any better. 365 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously they don't know they're 366 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 6: going to lose the draw there, you know, so the 367 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 6: setup is to win the draw. Then when it doesn't 368 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 6: happen kind of you know, now they've got a freelance, 369 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 6: and Favor just did a tremendous job and just the 370 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 6: just the now you know, the I mean, obviously they 371 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 6: know what time the clock is to the ice thing 372 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 6: by the Florida, but just the fact that Faber realized 373 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 6: I do not have the time anymore to get that 374 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 6: one timer off to Hughes. 375 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 8: It was just a great, great play by Favor. 376 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 6: You're in the leader and obviously and obviously but and 377 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 6: obviously by Ericsonac. I mean, that's you know, he's got 378 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 6: a knack for that. Remember, I mean, I think we 379 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 6: all kind of forget he saved the wild season last year. 380 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 6: Like if he does not score that goal with twenty 381 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 6: seconds left against Anaheim in Game eighty two. Yeah, they 382 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 6: don't make the playoffs. Who knows who's coaching this team? 383 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 8: Who knows who? 384 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 6: You know, like like they would have probably blown things up. 385 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 6: And that's all because Eric Sanak. You know, they they 386 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 6: wind up winning, making. 387 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 8: The playoffs because of the tie breakers. You're you know 388 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 8: that guy is a clutch guy. 389 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 2: You're in a leite hockey mind. 390 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 5: I mean, there were four key points with what I 391 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 5: was told, and you nailed every single one and you 392 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 5: weren't even at the arena. 393 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 2: Ll That's spectacular. 394 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: Overall, just overall, from. 395 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 2: From start to finish, the two zero league. 396 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 5: Then it's two to one, the neck blad gets one late, 397 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 5: it's two two, where in the grinder Ecky wins it 398 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 5: four point four to go. 399 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 2: What'd you make of the game overall? 400 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 6: I thought the Wild were great, you know, I mean, look, 401 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 6: Florida's reeling right now. 402 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 8: They've got everybody hurt. 403 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 6: You know, Marshan didn't play, Ryan Hart didn't play, obviously, 404 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 6: Barkov has didn't play. Anti Londell's heard Evan Rodriguez breaks his. 405 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 8: Finger during the game. 406 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 6: I mean, they're they're they're reeling the Wild dominated the 407 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 6: game fifty shots on goal, and and frankly, if it 408 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 6: wasn't for just a great goaltender performance on the other end, 409 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 6: they probably would have won that thing, you know, in 410 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 6: a round. So look, it would have been a disappointing 411 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 6: way to get to overtime because the Wild haven't closed 412 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 6: out a lot of games lately, and they're certainly not 413 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 6: winning games in regulation, and there's the way the road 414 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 6: trip started in Tampa. But you know, look, they got 415 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 6: what they deserved last night. There have been a lot 416 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 6: of games lately where I felt like they really didn't 417 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 6: get what they deserved and should have probably did you know, 418 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 6: gotten got more points in the game, or should have 419 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 6: wound up in overtime. 420 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 8: So it all out. 421 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 6: They put themselves back in a position, you know, to 422 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 6: try to get home ice advantage. I think that's the goal, 423 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 6: you know. I talked to Dan Burrow yesterday about this. 424 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 6: I think it's hard this time of year, where you 425 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 6: feel you're like locked and loaded to find that juice 426 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 6: every single game. But they got nine games left in 427 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 6: the season. I really do feel that last night's lineup 428 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 6: is probably the opening night. 429 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 8: Playoff lineup if they are healthy. 430 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 6: I know fans might not love to hear that, but 431 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 6: but I just think that you're off is probably the 432 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 6: guy out. I think that they made a decision at 433 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 6: the trade deadline to try to get bigger and stronger 434 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 6: and try to to, you know, wear teams down on 435 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 6: the third and fourth line. So almost have two scoring 436 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 6: lines and a third and fourth lines that's going to 437 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: beat the heck. 438 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 8: Out of you. 439 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 6: And right now, just there's they're starting to find their 440 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 6: rhythm in that area. You know, that fourth line last 441 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 6: night was an absolute menace. Their third line with McCarran, Brinkin, 442 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 6: Tarasenko or excuse me, Johansson might have been their best 443 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 6: line in the game. And I think that, you know, 444 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 6: if Carill starts to improve his game, he's been not 445 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 6: very good lately. If Boldie can get some some rest 446 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 6: here during this upcoming four days off, I think this 447 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 6: team's gonna be primed and ready to go come playoff time. 448 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 7: Did that did mckeren get a little lucky last It 449 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 7: looked like he just absolutely smashed Sam Bennett in the 450 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 7: y off off a face off and there there was 451 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 7: no whistle. I mean it was I mean, I feel 452 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 7: bad for Sam in that spot, but it was beauty 453 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 7: and slow motion as McCarran just crushed him. 454 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Sam Bennett's done that a lot to 455 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 6: other people over the years, so it's just a certain 456 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 6: forma thick evening out. But no, yeah, I mean absolutely 457 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 6: a miscall there by by the referees. Uh. He he 458 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 6: got to stick up in the face. It wasn't intentional, 459 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 6: but man did he give him a cross check right 460 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 6: to the right to the teeth and obviously, uh Bennett 461 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 6: was not very happy and that would have changed the 462 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 6: complexion of the last couple of minutes. I actually think 463 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 6: I actually don't mind plays like that, Like, like, you know, 464 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 6: the net was empty for Florida. You know, it gives 465 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 6: you now the opportunity if you're going on the kill 466 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 6: to ice the puck and not risk icing. 467 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 8: You know, you could go for the empty net from everywhere. 468 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 6: And you saw there that on that because they didn't 469 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 6: get the penalty, the wild actually heights the puck a 470 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 6: couple of times and we're able to escape the end 471 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 6: there and they wind up obviously giving up the goal. 472 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 6: So I mean, look, they wound up scoring anyway, so 473 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 6: so frankly, you know, it didn't at the end matter. 474 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 7: I don't want to turn this into Florida Panthers fan line, 475 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 7: but two time Cup winners and they've just been destroyed 476 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 7: by injuries. We've watched it and they're kind of out 477 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 7: of the mix. But whether it's terrasof who looks like 478 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 7: he might have an opportunity to be next after Bobroski 479 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 7: hangs it up and people have a right to get healthy, 480 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 7: is it? Is it the Are we seeing the grand 481 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 7: decline of the Florida Panthers just on the heels of 482 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 7: some big contracts and such or are they going to 483 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 7: be back? 484 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 8: No, they're going to be back. 485 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 6: I mean, look, they better be back because they, man, 486 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 6: did they give out a lot of long term contracts 487 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 6: the last couple of years between you know, Barkov and 488 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 6: Ryan Hart and Verhagy and Marshand and eck Lad and Bennett. 489 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 6: I mean they have they filled that roster up with 490 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 6: with you know, you know, older guys that that with 491 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 6: major long term contracts. But they've just been Look they 492 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 6: before the season started. The first day of training camp, 493 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 6: if I remember correctly, you know Barkup is coming through 494 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 6: the middle of training camp. He gets kneed by his teammate. 495 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 6: You know, Nico Mikola tears his ACL. N mcl misses 496 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 6: the entire year. To not have with your captain, to 497 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 6: not have eighty two games with him and a player 498 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 6: like that was was horrible to start the year. Remember 499 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 6: they win the Cup. They were nice enough to let 500 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 6: Matthew Chuck. He got married, he had his month with 501 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 6: you know, with the cup all that stuff. Then they 502 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 6: decided to go under the knife there. So he misses 503 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 6: half the season. You know, he didn't do it right 504 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 6: away when he probably should have, so he misses half 505 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 6: the season. They've just been run over by injuries all 506 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 6: year long. 507 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 8: You know. 508 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 6: I just think that this is a franchise that They're 509 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 6: players have played an inordinate amount of games the last 510 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 6: three years by going to three straight Stanley Cup finals. 511 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 6: This offseason will do them wonders to just get healthy, 512 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 6: and I think that they'll be. 513 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 8: Primed and ready to go come come September. 514 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 5: The the the last thing you said there was what 515 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 5: I was going to add, because I think it's underplayed. 516 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 5: I mean, it's with with marsh with Marshan and and 517 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 5: these injuries and everything. That's the low hanging fruit, and 518 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 5: it absolutely matters the voluminous amount of games this team 519 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 5: has played over the. 520 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: Last three years. 521 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 5: Eventually, the the elasticity has to break, specifically when when 522 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 5: you have when you have injuries like they've had. 523 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean you've covered the cups. 524 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 5: I mean they they've played so many games with such 525 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 5: little breaks, from Stanley Cup final to to UH training 526 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 5: camp and then a season. 527 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: Eventually, it's just too much. 528 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 6: Right yeah, Like you know, I just remember their first 529 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 6: Stanley Cup final. I go, you know, I was covering 530 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 6: Florida UH for the athletic in that in that final, 531 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 6: and I go in their locker room afterwards. 532 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 8: And ekbled, couldn't walk, could chuck. 533 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 6: You know, remember got the hit in game four and 534 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 6: basically played with a broken sternum. If I remember a 535 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 6: ruptured spleen, something ridiculous. Brandon Montur took you off his 536 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 6: gear in front of me and his right shoulder was 537 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 6: attached to his body and basically blew. I mean they 538 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 6: were banged up then, and then they wound up having 539 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 6: two unbelievable years in a row. But when you lose 540 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 6: Barkov to start the year and Kuld Chuck missus half 541 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 6: the season, it's just been injury after injury after injury. 542 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 6: I think it just catches up to you all the 543 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 6: wear and tear, and this is just you know, like 544 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 6: it's not even talking about the guys that are still 545 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 6: in the line out that clearly aren't healthy. So this 546 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 6: is a reset year for them. I don't think that 547 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 6: this is it for them. And and you know, look, 548 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 6: it's been an unbelievably competitive year in the East. And 549 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 6: what this does by not having Florida in the in 550 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 6: the playoffs this year is really opened the door for 551 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 6: even you know, not just Carolina Hurricanes who just can't 552 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 6: get past the Florida Panthers in the playoffs, or the 553 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 6: Tampa Bay Lightning who can't get past the Florida Panthers 554 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 6: in the playoffs the last couple of years, but teams 555 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 6: like Buffalo and those type of teams that nobody expected 556 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 6: to be there. 557 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 8: So I think the Eastern playoff races can be just, 558 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 8: you know, absolutely fascinating. 559 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 5: Come April, Russo Radio Wild left money on the table 560 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 5: at Tampa Bay, right, I mean, Lightning had off a 561 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 5: nine game road trip. They're playing their fourth and five 562 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 5: days they traveled. The day before, you got coaching immortality 563 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 5: Cooper before the game saying this might be a tough 564 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 5: one tonight, basically saying, I know my boys are tired, 565 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 5: and then you jump them three to one. I mean 566 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 5: you're absolutely going two to their one into the early 567 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 5: stages of the second period. 568 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: And John Hines. 569 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 5: When he joined nine to noon the other day, he 570 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 5: didn't necessarily agree with me on this, which means he's 571 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 5: probably right and I'm wrong. But I think the fights, 572 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 5: I think when the fights ignited those two five, I 573 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 5: think that got Tampa Bay going. And I think the 574 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 5: Lightning were like, all right, boys, well if they want 575 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 5: to do that, and if they want to mix it up, 576 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 5: then let's take a deep breath and let's go out 577 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 5: there and have some hockey immortality to us. 578 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 2: What do you think? 579 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's true. 580 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 6: I just think that the wild you know, look, they 581 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 6: gave up a couple really bad chances in that game. 582 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 8: I do think they got screwed a little bit. Like 583 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 8: you know, I look at that play. 584 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 6: The mccaren overturn goal is like, yeah, by definition of law, 585 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 6: it's it's goalie interference. But there's no doubt in my 586 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 6: mind that and this is a problem that the league 587 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 6: really has to look at is you know, they always 588 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 6: talk about goalies flopping Radish there, you know, flops into 589 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 6: his crease. You know, he goes down very easily like 590 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 6: like that. That is not a good look if all 591 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 6: of a sudden Bobby Brink can put you on your 592 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 6: stomach like that. But then he intentionally doesn't get up, 593 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 6: and then so then my question is when does the 594 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 6: play end? Because Vassilevski should have just covered the puff 595 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 6: right there, he doesn't, and then he can't go right 596 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 6: because Radish is next to him. But he can't go 597 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 6: right because Radish is next to him. Bradish does an 598 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 6: even attempt to get up. I think that's a problem 599 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 6: that the league has to look at for these goalie interferences, 600 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 6: because to me, now, if I'm a defenseman that looks 601 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 6: look and looking at that, I fall on my crease 602 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 6: and don't get up all the time. And then on 603 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 6: the play the mishap by gustuson which obviously is a 604 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 6: bad mistake by him, it only happens because Eric Chrnak 605 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 6: on a set play hacks Matt Zucarello to the ice, 606 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 6: so he beats out the icing. That's the only reason 607 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 6: why Gus comes out of his net, and then he 608 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 6: has the mishap with the funky bounce off the end boards, 609 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 6: but it only happens because Gus comes out of his 610 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 6: net because Cherneck got away with a trip right there. 611 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 6: So there were a couple of things there that I 612 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 6: think the wild didn't get the benefit of. But as 613 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 6: I just said to Nordo on the mccaren play, you know, 614 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 6: then he crossed checks Bennett and the teeth two nights 615 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 6: later and. 616 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 8: Doesn't get a call. So I mean, it just it 617 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 8: does all even out. 618 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 6: But you're right, I mean, you can't like this is 619 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 6: happening too much lately where the Wilder are not closing 620 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 6: out games. They're blowing leads to not those out these 621 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 6: games like they're you know, they've had a lot of overtimes, 622 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 6: but a lot of them is going to overtime because 623 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 6: they're not holding third period leads, and that's concerning, and 624 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 6: they've got to figure out a way to close out 625 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 6: these games here in these final nine games. Like I'm 626 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 6: looking at the standings right now and the schedules for 627 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 6: both Dallas and Minnesota. You know, Dallas has ten games left, 628 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 6: the wild have nine games left. Dallas has games against 629 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 6: five teams that are currently in a playoffs position. The 630 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 6: Wild have games against four teams that are currently in 631 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 6: a playoff position, but one of those each are against 632 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 6: each other. So that game on April ninth in Dallas 633 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 6: is going to be just a massive game to try 634 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 6: to get the Wild home disadvantage. 635 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 5: All right, Off that the Stars have lost four consecutive 636 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 5: and all of a sudden can't score, So so what's 637 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 5: wrong with the Stars and the scoring portion of the 638 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 5: equation is problematic. 639 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think they are exhausted. 640 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 6: I think this schedule has been just beyond belief for 641 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 6: a lot of teams right now. And you know, I 642 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 6: I'm telling I was listening to Glenn Gullison the other 643 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 6: day and he was bemoaning the fact of how tired 644 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 6: his team looks. 645 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 8: And you know, they. 646 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 6: Didn't have nearly as many Olympians as the Wild do. 647 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 6: And that's why I was telling Dan this yesterday, Like, 648 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 6: the Wild have Sunday to Thursday off this week, so 649 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 6: they don't play Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, four days off. 650 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 8: The only team in the league that's like that is Utah. 651 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 6: So while and while the Wild are off Dallas continues 652 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 6: to play back to back games the third and four nights. Like, 653 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 6: I think these four days off of the wild are 654 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 6: just gonna absolutely do them Wonders. It's certainly gonna do 655 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 6: guys like Quinn Hughes and Matt Boldie Wonders and probably 656 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 6: Carrill And I just think that that's gonna really wind up 657 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 6: being something that could be a coup for the Wild 658 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 6: in the first round series against Dallas. Dallas basically plays 659 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 6: almost every other night the rest of the way. 660 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 8: They do have a two day off break, but. 661 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 6: Even the Wilds last game this season is in Anaheim 662 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 6: and April fourteenth and and Dallas plays in Buffalo on 663 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 6: April fifteenth. So I just the way this last night 664 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 6: games shapes up for Minnesota. I actually think it's going 665 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 6: to really prime them perfectly against Dallas Stars team that 666 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 6: seems to just be tired right now and just a 667 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 6: grind of a final ten games of the season. 668 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 7: For them just to go backwards momentarily getting out with 669 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 7: that goal, you know, finding ways to finish games. That 670 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 7: was huge with that last night. That's why I was 671 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 7: so excited about that win. Is let's not take it 672 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 7: to the extra frame. Boys with that said, you mentioned 673 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 7: that what we saw last night from a lineup perspective, 674 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 7: so year off, we dig him, we want him on 675 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 7: the team, but maybe he might be the odd man 676 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 7: out with this Felino and Felino situation. It sounds like, 677 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 7: at least for a night and moving forward, that they 678 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,479 Speaker 7: like how that looks and it's beyond just the cool 679 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 7: story of brothers, but functionally they can win games with it. 680 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, other than scoring, Nick has been 681 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 6: outstanding for the Wild so far. I mean, he's tough, 682 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 6: he's been great on the penalty kill, he's winning draws. 683 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 6: And so because he's got the ability to play center, 684 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,240 Speaker 6: he theys who played center all season long for Chicago, 685 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 6: it really puts you off in a position to maybe 686 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 6: not be in the opening night lineup for the playoffs. 687 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 6: That doesn't mean he's not going to play. You know, now, 688 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 6: Yurov can play wing, so if they have injuries, a 689 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 6: lot could change here in the final nine games going 690 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 6: into the postseason. But that fourth line last night was 691 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 6: really difficult for Florida to handle. And you know, look, 692 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 6: Trenyon was great last night. Fellino and Felino were outstanding 693 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 6: last night, And as I mentioned the third line with McCarran, like, 694 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 6: on paper, it doesn't look like it should work. McCarran 695 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 6: this giant center with Bobby Brink on his right and 696 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 6: and Johansson on his left, But that line was was 697 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 6: pressuring all night long. So I really like their bottom six, 698 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 6: and I think their bottom six has an edge over 699 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 6: Dallas and Colorado quite frankly. 700 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 8: You know, going into the postseason. 701 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 5: Lastly and to the amateur level, you wrote about the 702 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 5: Gophers hockey hires. 703 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 2: What did you learn? 704 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, it was cool. 705 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 4: You know. 706 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 6: I'll be honest, I had never met Mark Coyle before 707 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 6: this last couple of days, and I got to meet 708 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 6: him obviously on Monday during that press conference, and then 709 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 6: Tuesday I pitched to him to just sit down in 710 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 6: his office and kind of get the rundown of how 711 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 6: everything had gone, and and he was nice enough to 712 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 6: let me stay with him, So I I enjoyed sitting 713 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 6: down with him. I will say, I look, I think 714 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 6: they couldn't have gone wrong with Grant Patoni or Brett Larson. 715 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 6: I think both of them are outstanding coaches. I think Brett, 716 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 6: you know, being in Saint Cloud, I think just you're 717 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 6: handcuffed there, right. I mean, you know, from from a 718 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 6: revenue share standpoint, from an nil standpoint, from all these 719 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 6: big ten teams trying to poach your guy's standpoint, I 720 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 6: think it's difficult there. 721 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 8: Now he comes to Minnesota with all the glamour, all the. 722 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 6: Best facilities, the ability to get the best players, all 723 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 6: that stuff. I think he's gonna, you know, everything I 724 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 6: hear about Brett from everybody, from what I talked to, 725 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 6: from Scott Sandlin to David carl to you know a 726 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 6: lot of players that have played for him, I think 727 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 6: he's gonna really do well there. I'm gonna be really 728 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 6: fascinated to see the staff that he puts together. But 729 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 6: it was it was fun. It was fun sitting now 730 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 6: with Coyle and just seeing the office of this guy. 731 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw the story that I 732 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 6: wrote and the way I described his office, but you'd 733 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 6: never know that it's actually an office from a guy 734 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 6: that's been there ten years. It's you know, he keeps 735 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 6: things really simple. Everything is for a purpose. And the 736 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 6: one thing that I think that is very different to 737 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,439 Speaker 6: pro sports that I learned by sitting down with him 738 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 6: is that like, look for a month before these hires 739 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 6: were made was he and his staff were planning for 740 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 6: these hires. So while it might seem hasty, the reason 741 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 6: why it was so quick is that they basically had 742 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 6: their list down to who they wanted to talk to, 743 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 6: because in college sports you got to make decisions quickly. 744 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 6: They got major decisions on trying to keep Brody Zeemer 745 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 6: and LJ. Mooney, knowing that other Big Ten teams and 746 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 6: other teams around the country are trying to get these 747 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 6: guys to go into the transfer portal, so they needed 748 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 6: to get a coach in place to just lessen the 749 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 6: anxiety with these players. Let Brett Lawson get going on 750 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 6: recruiting and things like that, get his staff together, and 751 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 6: that's why it felt quick. It's not like you have 752 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 6: like right now in Nashville. They have the benefit of 753 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 6: a month or two interviewing fifteen to twenty people and 754 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 6: trying to find the best channal manager. And in college hockey, 755 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 6: you've got to get a move on this or you're 756 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 6: going to lose your guys now in the way the 757 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 6: college landscape has changed. So I understand now by sitting 758 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 6: down with Marcoyle, why it felt like it was really 759 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 6: quick because it was, but it had to be. 760 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 2: You're the best.

I always love that. 781 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 5: I don't know why. Maybe it was me, maybe it 782 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 5: was everybody else. I don't know, but two interviews with 783 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 5: the Skip with Skipper within like a month and a half. 784 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 7: That's good news, absolutely good news. Good news as well, 785 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 7: less than a month from the NFL Draft. And I'm 786 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 7: just so fascinated by this. And you know, I want 787 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 7: to start by saying, this is not an indictment of 788 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 7: this guy's opinion or how he can port like. I 789 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 7: love Dan Orlovsky, but I don't know if you've been 790 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 7: following it this week, Pa, He's been getting it from 791 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 7: every angle, really, everybody that analyzes the draft, anybody that 792 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 7: has a big opinion on this upcoming class college football 793 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 7: in general. 794 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 2: Simpson, Mendoza, that thing, that thing. Yeah, and so I'm 795 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 2: just going to play for you. It's just over a minute. 796 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 7: Dan or Alofski earlier this week just saying, Hey, I 797 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 7: think ty Simpson is actually the best QB in this draft. 798 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 9: I think Ty Simpson is QB one. I think Ty 799 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 9: Simpson is the best quarterback in this class. I think 800 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 9: when you look at the body of work and what 801 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 9: was asked of these two quarterbacks, you have to start 802 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 9: with the question who needed to do more to carry 803 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 9: their football team to play well? Ty Simpson, And it's 804 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 9: not close between those two quarterbacks who took more games 805 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 9: over throughout the course of the season. 806 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 2: Ty Simpson. It's not even close. 807 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 9: And if we're asking, like, okay, we're trying to see 808 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 9: what you are as a player in call and what 809 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 9: you're gonna be asked to do in the NFL, and 810 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 9: what translates, I start with what do you do in 811 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 9: moments of panic with the football? Because that's really what 812 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 9: separates good to great. I would tell you that ty 813 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 9: Simpson is more consistent in that regard. There's not a 814 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 9: ton of moments of panic out of Fernando Mendoza, and 815 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 9: then there's moments when he immediately drops his eyes and 816 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 9: becomes a runner. Ty Simpson more consistent than that. What 817 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 9: guy was asked to do more NFL throws. When I 818 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 9: say NFL throws, I'm talking fifteen twenty twenty five yard 819 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 9: in routes, crossing routes, deep corner or sale routes, ty Simpson. 820 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 9: And it's not even close in that regard. Downfield throws 821 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 9: the posts and the goos. I think they're close. Mendoza 822 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 9: throws a lot of go routes and he's good at it, 823 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 9: but I think they're close. RPO get it out. That's 824 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 9: probably what Mendoza's offense was, right, and then I think 825 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 9: throwing on. 826 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 2: The move, they're both relatively equal. 827 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 9: So when it comes to moments of panic and big 828 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 9: throws real NFL throws, I think it's clearly. 829 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 5: Tysimson covenant ketchup or covenant clean up. If the manager's 830 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 5: calling around ten this that actually fits beautifully into something 831 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 5: that I'm bringing up with with Alec Lewis, or we 832 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 5: will present with Alec Lewis about I mean, it's you know, 833 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 5: I'm not not being flipping here, I'm just being straight. 834 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 5: Like with Ty Simpson, I couldn't pick Ty Simpson out 835 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 5: of a lineup with Greg McElroy and Joe Namath. I 836 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 5: always love that, So I'm not going to pretend like 837 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 5: like I saw Ty Simpson play. Sports fans a lot 838 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,879 Speaker 5: of them saw Mendoza play absolutely because of how far 839 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 5: that kid went.

At one point I wanted I 865 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 7: just as a rube.
