00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,040

Speaker 1: We're in the semifinals, Canada taking on Finland as we speak,

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: five point fifty four left to go in the first

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and they are scoreless into Milan. Finland out shooting the

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Canadians seven to three, So trying to apply the pressure

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: here early on. We'll see if they can dethrone the Canadians.

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Then see the pull it down.

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: The sixth attacker goal by this Checchi or slaps no

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: which game.

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: Is in the quarters against can Yeah, right, tell us

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: what you saw, because what I saw on the twitter verse,

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: I don't. I didn't see it, but the fact that

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: they were celebrating there were six gaters whilst could you

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: imagine had Canada lost, they would have been overturning and

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: then ma syrup burrel's been been flipped over riding.

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: But then the best part is after the game it

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: were the checks that were complaining about the officiating.

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were the ones that were complaining about it.

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: And overtime, had it been for the fishing, they would

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: have been a shorthand.

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: At every local breakfast place would have felt the impulse.

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: With the impacts and the ripple effects of Canada, no doubt.

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: So again, I got some great stuff coming in here

49
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: from the text line, and we will get to those

50
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: as we go through this next half hour. Let's start

51
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: with the UH. I want to talk about the high

52
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: school tournament. I want to talk about the sections. There's

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: so much going on in the world of youth hockey.

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: But let's start with that overtime game. Thirteen overtime epic

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: battle at the WOUB between Cottage Grove in Saint Paul.

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: Now correct me if I'm wrong.

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: This is a twelve U B one game and it

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: lasted an eternity three days.

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: Okay, First of all, shout out to my buddy Kevin Dolan,

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: Saint Paul West, Saint Paul.

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: Guy, He's like, you gotta check this out.

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: It was six overtimes, three hours and twenty five minute game.

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: They had to end it.

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 3: We're gonna go back tomorrow night. So I tweeted out.

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: Chris Long from KSTP picks up me. This is really cool.

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: So he keeps an eye on it the second night.

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: They don't finish the second night, four overtimes. That night

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: he goes out there with a camera. Curry, remember what.

69
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: Night it was. It was the blizzard night.

70
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, Chris is out there in a blizzard

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: and they finally get the game over with people like, oh,

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: it's a joke that they changed it. Their District eight

73
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: is the only one that I know does doesn't have

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: an overtime shootout policy. So they played five on five

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: for all ten of those overtimes, and they finally had

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: the district because the next game was yesterday, they finally

77
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: had to change the rules. Hey, we're gonna go three

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: on three on the third period to day and then

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna do a shootout and finally Ashlyn Anderson or

80
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: as the winner and Miss Lindsey Petty ninety six saves

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: on ninety seven shots for the wolf Pack. Pretty cool story.

82
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: The fact that it made the Sports center. You know

83
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: who saw that coming.

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: You know, I cannot even comprehend that as a guy

85
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: who watches a lot of youth hockey, got a couple

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: of kids in the Saint Louis Parks system thirteen overtimes

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: over the course of three days.

88
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: That's a lot saying that we'll have to comprehend. All right,

89
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: So that's what's going on on the youth side.

90
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to the girls high school hockey tournament happening

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: as we speak. We're through the quarterfinals in both Single

92
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: A and Double A. That sets the stage for semifinal Friday.

93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: That's always an exciting day, whether it's on the boys

94
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: or the girls side. As I look, top four seeds

95
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: all advanced in both classes, so no real surprises.

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: I think the surprise in the A was was Mancato

97
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: East three through six. We talked about the sun Saturday

98
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: three through six was a flip of a coin. So

99
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: the man Cato East Blake game, Mancato East outshot Blake

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: fifty to twenty one.

101
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: They just poured it on the that night.

102
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: And their goaltender Jannye mcgon Dartmouth commit for for Blake

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: was unbelievable. That was the only minus surprise out of

104
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: any of the eight games played. But yeah, what a

105
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: performance by Janey and she could be the stalwarts this

106
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: weekend for the Bears.

107
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: All right, So you got some good matchups left on

108
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: both sides, whether it be Single A or Double A.

109
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: That includes World against Dodge County. What excites you about

110
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: that match?

111
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: First though, it's a rematch of last year state final

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: that went to overtime, right, Zoe Heimer scores the game

113
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: winner and she points it. They disallow the goal. They

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: got to go upstairs, and she knows it's a goal.

115
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: The whole rink knows it's a goal, except the two

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: officials who couldn't see the puck get behind Raleigh, the

117
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: goaltender for Worlds. So we got a rematch to that

118
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: one today. That's exciting. And then he got Blake Bret.

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: This is like interlocking versus Woodhill. This is the Patagonia

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: Championship of the World and these two all these kids

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: know each other from Blake and Brack.

122
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: It's a great rivalry.

123
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: They're only three point two miles apart from each other, right,

124
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: we split them right.

125
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 2: Here on Iowan hundred.

126
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: Of course, it's gonna be a fantastic and that game

127
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: will be packed. That'll be a great environment for the

128
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: girls sit this afternoon.

129
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: So that's on the single A level, double A. You

130
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: got Hill Murray against a Dina. I mean, just saying

131
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 1: those two cities and those two schools out loud tells

132
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: me there's going to be a rivalry and a whole

133
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of green.

134
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: Well, this is another rematch of the state final from

135
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: last year.

136
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 2: You can't ask for anything better.

137
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: It's gonna be Green Breezers versus Yeah, that's what I

138
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: always call. Well, you play a diner, you got the

139
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: kryptonite of the Green Breezers.

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: The kids just stare at those things to.

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: See all the championships, both on the boys and the

142
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: girl's side.

143
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great game.

144
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: I think Hill Murray is the superior team in this one.

145
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: It could be a three or four goal win by

146
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: the Pioneers. You're gonna look back, Kevin in about four years.

147
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: You may never do this, but I will in three

148
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: four years. You're gonna look at this roster for Hill Murray,

149
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: the Johnny Pole and Chrissy Windell Pole have put together.

150
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna go that's a better roster than most Division

151
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: one teams. Wow, that's how good this team is. They're stacked.

152
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: They got the best ninth grader in the state, they

153
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: got the best tenth grader in the state. They have

154
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: obviously one of the best juniors in the state, and

155
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: Emily their daughter. It's a stacked, stacked roster and I

156
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: feel like they're gonna win this tournament. But crazier things

157
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: have happened.

158
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: So that's Hill Murray against Idana later on today and

159
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: later on tonight Centennial against Holy Family.

160
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: Like, what intrigued you about that one?

161
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: If these teams have played three times already this year,

162
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: guess what the total goal scorer is in these three games.

163
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: It's probably low seven to seven, Okay, I mean these

164
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: two teams are dead even it's gonna be it's a

165
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: flip a coin game at the end of the at

166
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: the end of the day tonight, and that's gonna be

167
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: a late one maybe, But nine, ten, eleven o'clock when

168
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: that game finally gets over.

169
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Of course, that's the beauty of Semmifinal Friday. Looks like

170
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Nico Ranton and on the board for the Fins to

171
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: break the scoreless tie one zero in favor of Finland,

172
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: three to zero, five left to go in the first

173
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: I think it was a power play marker, but Finland

174
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: breaks through early on against the mighty Canadian team. Just

175
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: an awesome shot from the left circle, top glove, top corner,

176
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: right over Bennington's glove and its crushes me.

177
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: I'm just feel so bad for our neighbors to the north. Yeah,

178
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: so bad.

179
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: We were talking about and we'll get back to the

180
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: high school scene. We were talking about what a disappointment

181
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: it would be if it wasn't if I mean, America

182
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: still has to get past Slovakia, so.

183
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: That's not a given, but let's assume they do.

184
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Would you be disappointed if it's not Canada on Sunday morning?

185
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: I want Canada lose in every aspect of every game

186
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: of hockey. Oh, I don't care.

187
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: What about.

188
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: Skating curling, Those cheating curlers, I want them gone too.

189
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: I saw a great meme of the the gold medal

190
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: winning goal for USA, and it photoshopped the guy touching

191
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: it with his pointers.

192
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,359
Speaker 5: Finger the curler behind the goal line. Yeah, that's brilliants,

193
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 5: top notch action there. I like it all right, So

194
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 5: back to the girls tournament? Who are the players to watch?

195
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: Are you gonna be focusing on? Who do you think

196
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 5: is gonna have an impact today and throughout?

197
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a one each. I'm gonna give

198
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: you the one that everybody knows.

199
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: Right if you look at World for example, it's gonna

200
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 3: be Peyton Rowley, the goaltender.

201
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: She's you know, up for goal of the Year.

202
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: She was our goalie the Year last year. She's a

203
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: Gopher commit but there's another one out there. You're gonna

204
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: keep an eye as Olivia Anthony. This is Nick Anthony,

205
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: the former Gopher's daughter. She's a freshman. She's got forty

206
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: plus points. I saw her against Holy Family this year.

207
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: She lit up excuse me, yeah, against she lit up

208
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: Holy Family. And she's got a lot of steel. And

209
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: she's got an uncle who's not bad either, Keith Ballard.

210
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: So this is gonna be a girl. You're gonna definitely

211
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: gonna change the game today if Ward wins today.

212
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: I saw the Miss Hockey finalists are down to five.

213
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Are you able to talk about that? Who do you

214
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: think is gonna take down hold hard for Sunday?

215
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: That's a really good question because like the two best players,

216
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, no one's gonna dispute this or Laney Gannetts

217
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: from Centennial and Matty Kimbrel from Holy Family. But they're

218
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: both transfers, So transfers kind of get a little bit

219
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 3: of a nick against them, So to be interested to

220
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: see how it turns out. It could be laurel I Nelson.

221
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: She's had a great season, a great career. I think

222
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: of Miss Hockey as more of a lifetime achievement. Awards

223
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: someone who's had a great career over the years, and

224
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: Laurela has definitely had that, but it could be any

225
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: one of them. If you're gonna go to the best

226
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: player in the state, watch Holy Family, that's the one.

227
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: If you're gonna point out that Maddy Kimberrel is something else,

228
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: I mean, she just changes the game. Her energy, her speed,

229
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: her everything changes the game. Every time she's on the ice,

230
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: something magical is gonna happen. She was, She's one of

231
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: our Player of the Year finalists. She comes in the office,

232
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 3: she is the life of the party in the room, right,

233
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: everybody's life of the party.

234
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: And then you put a microphone in front of her face.

235
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: She won't say a word.

236
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: Take the she was unbelievable, unlesh just I hate my phone.

237
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: Don't even send me on my phone. Which of the

238
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: five players sent me a thank you after the game,

239
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: after the media day, Matty Kimberle, She's got it all

240
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: put together.

241
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: She's fun to watch, all right.

242
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: So those are some of the players to watch before

243
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: I move over to the boy's side. I heard this

244
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: conversation and this is something that's been around girls hockey forever.

245
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Playing the tournament at Grand Casino Arena. I want to

246
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: know where you said. Usually my opinion is, you know,

247
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: if there's five thousand people there, it feels Hollywood, feels cavernous.

248
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: If you put them at Rider, it feel like a

249
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: full building.

250
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: But I listened to it was the Holy Full Holy

251
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Family coach on with Pa yesterday, and he was talking

252
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: about He was making the argument for why it should

253
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: be there, why it belongs there, and why it means

254
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: so much for these girls to be a grand casino

255
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: arena and play at the spot where the boys make

256
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: the memories, where the wild make the memories. He says,

257
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: it means something special to those gals, and he loves

258
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: having a grand casino arena.

259
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: How about you. One of the other things you left

260
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: off is where the Minnesota frost makes. Of course too

261
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: good point.

262
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: I'm pointing that out today. I'm like, yes, is you

263
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: should take your daughter. If you're listening right now and

264
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 3: you have a ten A or a twelve are a

265
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: twelve B and you want to give her an aspiration,

266
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: this is where your daughter should be aspiring to play

267
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: in the state tournament at the x Act Grand Casino.

268
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: Whatever you want to call it. Fill the bowl today.

269
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: I'm seriously bring your daughters to the rink and let

270
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: them see great high school hockey. See Maddy Kimberl, see

271
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: Emily Poll, see Peyton Rolly, see Jennie mcgaughon. See some

272
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: of these great players that are going to be on display.

273
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: They're all going to Division one. They could all be

274
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 3: future Olympians someday. This is the place to go. Do

275
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 3: I like going. I would rather go watch a band

276
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: at the seventh three entry, you know, then sometimes at

277
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: the first avenue.

278
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: Right first average half full. I'd rather go see him

279
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: at the entry, have it packed.

280
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of agree with the sentiment of playing

281
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 3: at Ritter, but let's let's give them a place where

282
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: they can fill it someday. And I think I've seen

283
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: it really close. When Peyton Peyton Hemp's andover team in

284
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one beat he Dine at mccorneer. That was

285
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: that Blora Bowl was almost practically full. It can get there.

286
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: He's got to be a great robbery like ander Rick

287
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: Dinah had a few years back. Blake Breck will be

288
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: great today. There's gonna be some great games here today

289
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: and tomorrow at Grand Casino.

290
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: All right, So that's what's going on on the girls side.

291
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: Again.

292
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: It's happening all week long, Summerfinal Friday today through tonight

293
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: and then championships will be crowned. Champions will be crowned

294
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: tomorrow Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul. Meanwhile, boys section

295
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: tournaments happening across the straight, across the state. I had

296
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: a good one last night, you know, of course, you

297
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: know my ties to the Saint Lost Park went and

298
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: watched them play Orno and one of the best players

299
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: in the state in Jackson Knight.

300
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: It was a free for all. It ended up being six.

301
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Nine to six was the final, but at one point

302
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: the score was a three goal separation.

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: We were at the end of regulation. We said they

304
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: got to score.

305
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: A goal a minute to pull within to give themselves

306
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: a chance. They scored twice in the final two minutes

307
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: to make it a one goal hockey game.

308
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Yep.

309
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: And then Ornold went and scored two into an empty net.

310
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: But just an unbelievable hockey game. Ornold moves on. They'll

311
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: face off against oh No, that's in Section two.

312
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: Way.

313
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: The semifinals will continue there. What intrigues you about the

314
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: rest of the section tournaments? Going on around the state

315
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: just so we.

316
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: Can finish off. When we didn't finish last Saturday, cut

317
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: me off. Okay, I wanted to point out that I

318
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: thought I had this already. It was Leo Schmall and

319
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: Marty Hurdy, Yeah, Thunder and Lightning. I had their stats.

320
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: I was going to talk about how I had these

321
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: kids in a in a COVID Morning League over at

322
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: the Real Center, and I love the Saint Louis Park kids,

323
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: and I you know, I was my heart goes out

324
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: to them after losing last night, and I've just known

325
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: those kids. A lot of these SLP kids, they're special kids.

326
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: It's a little bit different.

327
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: As you know, in Saint Louis Park then and then

328
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: they Dina where they have hockey, hockey, hockey, and these

329
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: kids are just different kids and special, funny kids with

330
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: a lot of personality, a little bit of Minneapolis flair

331
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: to them, if you know what I mean, because I'm so.

332
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: Close to the city.

333
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: I just I've always loved the inn ring teams like

334
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Saint Louis Park and Jefferson Richfield Roseville. Those

335
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: are the teams those that we need to cover it

336
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: here in the state of Minnesota. Is you keep those strong,

337
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna have a strong hockey community here throughout the state.

338
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: They have some big holes to phill. You mentioned a

339
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: couple of them. Heard the one hundred some points in

340
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: his career at Saint Louis Park. Leo Schmoll a hat

341
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: trick last night. He's just a junior. Hopefully he's back

342
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: next year as well. So there are some good things

343
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: happening in Saint Louis Park. Unfortunately it wasn't last night.

344
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: Their season is done. Ornold lives to see another day.

345
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, I got a chance to see

346
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: that Jackson night up close.

347
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: Something else.

348
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: Fourth in this in in in the state and scoring

349
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: and by the way he was last night. He extended

350
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: his goal streak to ten games with at least a goal.

351
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: He's now got twenty three goals in his last ten games,

352
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: including a six goal outburst against Chasca. He's the all

353
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: time leading goal scorer in or in Or history.

354
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so state champion, the whole deal, I mean, I

355
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: mean the whole deal.

356
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: The kid has done it all. Yeah, you know, there's

357
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: nothing better that I mean.

358
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: The state tournament is going to be great and summifinal

359
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Friday on the boys side is going to be great,

360
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: and the quarterfinals are always are always nuts, but there's

361
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: nothing better than the Section turn and those are going

362
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: on as we speak.

363
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: There's the big one tonight. It's the biggest what is

364
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: this biggest section semifinal? They're usually on Saturday, but tonight

365
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: for for scheduling reasons. Three Double A the Southeastern Metro

366
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: Section with Creton, Saint Thomas, rose Mount and Eastview. They're

367
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: playing tonight because they were lucky enough to get the

368
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: Lee and Penny Anderson A rink for their Section final

369
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: over at St. Thomas on Tuesday, so they had to

370
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: give the boys a little bit of a leeway, a

371
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: little pressure. So they're playing tonight at Bowiington, Ice Garden,

372
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: Eastview and rose Mountain the public school side of the

373
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: Section semi finals and then the private school Cdation STA

374
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: will play at eight o'clock tonight.

375
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: That both games will be amazing.

376
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: If you want to really want to dig into it,

377
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: like how did Saint Thomas, the number three team in

378
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: the state not get the number one section?

379
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: See? Do you want to dig into that a little

380
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: bit or you want to just keep cruising?

381
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: No, dig into it? So I've got a heart out

382
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: by the way, I got to get out at ten thirty.

383
00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I got a page calling this.

384
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: So I want to give you. We got an eleven

385
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: minute window. Roper went back from my Denver days. Are

386
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: going to do that? Right? Yes, I know, I know,

387
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: you're no big deal. All right.

388
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: So they have the coaches meetings, they the coaches vote,

389
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: and there had to be some collusion amongst the public

390
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 3: schools like your your Egan's and your Cottage Girls Naship,

391
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: but Cottage Groves that in the same section, Egan, east View, Rosemont,

392
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: those schools must have cocluded somehow, because rose Mount and

393
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 3: Saint Thomas got the number tied for the same amount

394
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 3: of points in the vote. They did a coin flip,

395
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: but the kind of coins what you do online where

396
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: you hit the button and it circles around and it picks,

397
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: and that is how rose Mount got the number one

398
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 3: seed in Saint Thomas got the number two seed.

399
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: Interesting because especially we've talked about.

400
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: It on Beyond the Pond, what what they did leading

401
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: into the tournament. I'm just surprised that that's the way

402
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: it broke and they ended up getting the number one seed.

403
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, which good you know we had, we had Cole

404
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: bred in the office that morning when they found out,

405
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 3: and one of the Player of the Year finalists. I'm

406
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll probably be a Mister Hockey finalist when

407
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: that's announced today. But Cole says, what doesn't matter. We

408
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: got to win three games, So does it matter the

409
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: order of the games. We're here just to win three

410
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: games to get the state tournament. That's all that matters.

411
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: So they're playing their third game. Would likely have been

412
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 3: their third game against Greeting tonight over at Bloomington, sold

413
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: out in fourteen minutes when tickets went on sale the

414
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: other day.

415
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: Let me sprinkle in some of these questions coming in

416
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: at six four, six eighty six, This would be good,

417
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: this one from bon Saw. Who's got the hardest route

418
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: to the state in double A? Is it Minnetonka? Is

419
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: it Moorhead? Or is it he Dinah?

420
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: Oh he dinah?

421
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 3: For sure, they played a really good Armstrong Cooper team

422
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: last night, and then they'll just cruise right into a

423
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: battle with Holy Angels, who they played in our tournament

424
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: down in Prior Lake, and then they'll win play the

425
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: winner of why Zeta and Rogers. That's a that's a

426
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 3: gauntlet right there. If you went back and look at

427
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: Armstrong's record, they had some great wins this year.

428
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: So to play those three teams back.

429
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: To back to bat, that'dyna will be tournament tested if

430
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: they make it to state tournament again this year.

431
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: From the six to one to two area code shout

432
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: out to the Rogers Royals, Let's Go also appreciates the

433
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: Armstrong shout out from the nine to oh seven area code.

434
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: No idea where that is? Tony is Amzoil Arena the

435
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: best place for hockey fans.

436
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: To be tomorrow, no question, no question about it. Every

437
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: game is good.

438
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: Proctor takes on hibbing, hibbing, got another one was one

439
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: of those, yeah, hibbing. No, I can't remember one of

440
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: those teams got in because no, it was Proctor and

441
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: International Falls had a coin flip via the same way

442
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: to get in in their section too, So that'll be

443
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: a great day. I mean the Hermantown clo K game,

444
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: the biggest question is how healthy is Hermantown. They've had

445
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 3: a lot of injuries in the last couple weeks, including

446
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: their goaltender Bryce Francisco. If he's healthy, they're healthy. Hermantown

447
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: is going to go to state. I think they can

448
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: beat both Hibbing and Clok to make it to stay.

449
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 3: But don't count out Proctor. They already beat Hermantown this year,

450
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: so that's it's gonna be fun. We got a guy

451
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: up there will be there all day covering every minute.

452
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: You'll get update from every period at Amazon tomorrow.

453
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: You got your tentacles everywhere, right, I mean, yeah, we're

454
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: here for youth hockey.

455
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: We talk about this every week.

456
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: I bey on the pun. You guys are every I

457
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: don't know how you do it and how you get

458
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: it done, but it feels like you guys are anywhere

459
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: and everywhere at any given time.

460
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: I think the formula for us is just you go

461
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: to the rink, you meet another you know, misfit toy

462
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: like the rest of us, and they say, hey, you

463
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: want to cover this one here?

464
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll cover that one.

465
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: We'll get paid a few bucks, and they go and

466
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: they But most of these people aren't doing this for

467
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: to get rich. They're doing it because they love covering

468
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: the game. They love telling the story. And we're just

469
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,360

491
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: good hockey teams will end their seasons tomorrow. And if

492
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: you think about all the youth teams. There will be

493
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: fifty sixty seventy more youth teams that are gonna be

496
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880

497
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: But so many good ones. Which where do you want

498
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:46,600

00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: Throw down the breadcrumbs. I'm handsel, I'm just following your

502
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: your path.

503
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: Man Cato West and man Cato East play tomorrow in

504
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 3: Atgas Davis. That's always a fun rivalry. Actually in Section play.

505
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: West won the first only meeting this year. Five nothing.

506
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: Keep an eye on that one. Hermittown Cokay, we talked

507
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: about that one. How healthy is Hermittown. I think if

508
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: Hermittown's healthy, they can win the Section. I think they

509
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: were the one of the best three or four teams

510
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: in the state before they had to hit the injury bug.

511
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: Blake versus Minneapolis save a very good one. You got Blake.

512
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: You know Blake smoked them earlier six to one during

513
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: the regular season, but Minneapolis beat Breck last night.

514
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: My son went to the game.

515
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: He goes, I got chills when Chris Grassel, coach who

516
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 3: was coached by Joe didzik Chris Grawn And it was

517
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 3: actually a frat brother of my sons.

518
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: He's like, I got chills.

519
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 6: Dad.

520
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: He was going through the handshake line shaking hands with

521
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: his old coach, and obviously some of the Minneapolis fans

522
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 3: were sending their pleasantries to their ex coach. But the

523
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: end of the day, Joe did a great job of

524
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: Minnesota hockey. Minneapolis hockey for fifteen years. They'll take on Blake.

525
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: That's going to be a really good game on Tuesday

526
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: night back in your backyard center, Yep, that'll be great.

527
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: And then finishing off. Now, this is a weird one.

528
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: Why would I even say war Old and Thief falls.

529
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: Warld is one of the best four teams in the state.

530
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 3: But guess where they're playing tomorrow? Where are they playing tomorrow.

531
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 2: In Thief for her Fall? Wow?

532
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,919

Speaker 3: Gardner Jason Shaga, Bay Carson Pilgrim era at Thief at

534
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 3: East Grand Forks. There were about eighteen hundred of the

535
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: two thousand fans were from Thief re falls.

536
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 2: These people travel well.

537
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: I can only imagine when they host war Old tomorrow

538
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: at the Little Ralph and Thief hal Pack. That's going

539
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: to be maybe the fans can get the pull off

540
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: the upsets tomorrow. So that caught my eye. I'll be

Speaker 3: random people in my life that come out of the woodwork,

584
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,400

587
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: best part of it for me.

588
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: You know, in case mcleddy's listening, what is the latest

589
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: on Hibbing? I hate to have you on and not

590
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: talk about Hibbing for you a second, feel like we're guilty, right.

591
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave him out in the cold.

592
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: So what's going on place?

593
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: Hibbing plays Proctor tomorrow at amzoil. Whoever that emailer was,

594
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: he's right, or the text guy, he's right. It's going

595
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: to be an amazing day at amz oil.

596
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: They take on Proctor, who obviously says beats Hermertown. I've

597
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: said this before. I told the boys from Hibbing. I

598
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: spent some stuff media day with them last week. I

599
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: think they're the best hockey team five on five A

600
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: or double A. I have to see these guys.

601
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 3: That's why I was trying to drag you guys up

602
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 3: to see them. They lost to Hermittown at the game

603
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 3: I went to. I still just was like, they're amazing.

604
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: They moved the puck around. They played at this rink

605
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: called Greenaven in hibbing and they're just a bunch of

606
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 3: pond hockey goofballs and when they score their selly, they

607
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: must sit at Greenaven. Just practice those because it's the

608
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: most original content you'll see out there. I mean, pros

609
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 3: should take a few cues from these guys.

610
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: I know you guys do a lot of great work

611
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: at Youth Hockey Hub, and it's going to be pumping

612
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: on some content over especially while things are at a

613
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,119

617

Speaker 2: some time with Olivia King, who's been here here.

00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 3: or whatever. He's such a good guy. He saw all

626
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: the jerseys you came in you bet at a studio.

627
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: He was like, this is amazing, absolutely amazing. And he

628
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: didn't even get a chance to see all the trophies

629
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: of all the teams where He's like, these trophies are amazing.

630
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: Everything is cool. I go, this is this is like

631
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 2: Disneyland for a little kid.

632
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: I would love to see you and Kevin Gorg in

633
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: the same room at the same time and see who

634
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: takes a breath first.

635
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 2: I think it'd be awesome.

636
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: We were battling, we were valid yesterday. It was good,

637
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: good stuff. Unfortunately, that's all the time I have. But

638
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: I think for fans out there, they appreciate this. I mean,

639
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about everything else in the world

640
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: of sports. We don't focus enough on you hockey, and

641
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: when we get the opportunity to shine a light on it,

642
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: we take that opportunity.

643
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: And we had that chance today.

644
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: We do it every week on Beyond the Pond, but

645
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: it was great to do it here in primetime, I'll say,

646
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: during the Paul Aland project.

647
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: So thanks for making the trip. Up here.

648
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: Thanks for helping us get ready for the boys tournament

649
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: right around the corner and the girls tournament happening right

650
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: now in Saint Paul.

651
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin to see you're on the rink, Yes you will.

652
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: There he is Tony Scott Youthhockeyhub dot com and at

653
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: Youth Hockey Hub on the Twitter machine. We'll break and

654
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: then when we continue, you're gonna say, why well, we're

655
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Woody Page next on the fan and

656
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: an update from Milan, Finland. Still holding onto the one

657
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: zero lead over Canada. They just started the first period

658
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: just over a minute into I'm sorry, just started the

659
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: second period just over a minute into period number two.

660
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: The Stars Miko Rantonen.

661
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: The only goal is a huge collision just inside the

662
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: finished blue line.

663
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: But it sounds like the intensity is picking up there.

664
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: Momentarily, we'll be joined by Woody Page, a name that

665
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure most of you know, a guy who was

666
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: on ESPN forever. I know him prior to that in

667
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: my time in Denver. That was the first show I

668
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: worked on. It was called Woody and the Man. So

669
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: I very much look forward to checking in with Woody

670
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Page when he calls Meanwhile, as we watched this semifinal

671
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: action from Milan, I got Zach Halverson in studio. I

672
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: got Brett Blakemore on the other side of the glass man.

673
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: No, the man.

674
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: The man was a guy by the name of Todd

675
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: Mansfield and basically, and we'll have Woody get into this,

676
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: it was a brand new show.

677
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: They didn't know each other. So for the first parts of.

678
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: This existence, the man spent his time there getting ripped

679
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: on by Woody. That was the basis of the show.

680
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: He just basically made fun of him, and I don't

681
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: think the man took it.

682
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: All that well.

683
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: They ended up dissolving that relationship down the line, but

684
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: it was fun at that point in time.

685
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: I mean, this is thirty years ago that I worked

686
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: with Woody before.

687
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: He became the star of ESPN's Around the Horn, so

688
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: I look forward to a touching base of them.

689
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: We had a mutual friend over the past week.

690
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: In Doug mow and some of you might know that name,

691
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: a legendary name in the coaching fraternities, and he actually

692
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: did a show from three to seven, I think, on

693
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: that same station, and that's how I got to know him.

694
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: And unfortunately he passed away here earlier this week do

695
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: it along and lengthy illness. But we'll get into that wood.

696
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: He certainly knew Doug much closer than I did. Meanwhile,

697
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: we're watching this hockey game and this could be quite

698
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the upset. And would it be an upset? I mean,

699
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: Finland's a pretty darn good team, but Canada it would be.

700
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the roster.

701
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 7: I mean, anybody who beats Canada this year it would

702
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 7: be an upset. And obviously Finland's very good. And now

703
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 7: we just side the light penalty. So now Canada going

704
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 7: to go on the power play, probably tie it up

705
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 7: and kill all the hopes.

706
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: And dreams of the Finns. But yeah, I have to

707
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: I have to watch it in here.

708
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 7: I mean, Brad, you attest to like, the best TV

709
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 7: in this place now is in the studio. So unfortunately,

710
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 7: if I want to watch this game and crystal clear

711
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 7: high definition.

712
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: It's also the only one that has the magical Peacock

713
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: Act because put it on there.

714
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's probably yea.

715
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: I can't decide if I want to rip on you

716
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: for failing at initials or on his rough tummy situation.

717
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: The other one is fun.

718
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 7: I heard about last last Saturday. Then habbit was lost.

719
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 7: He was calling me trying to figure out how to

720
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 7: do everything again.

721
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's pick this up in a little bit.

722
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: The hotline has been inhabited. That's not a word, boy,

723
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: to go to a journalist and use that word right

724
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: off the bat. The great Woody Page joins us on

725
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: the line. Woody Kevin Falmas Man, it has been way

726
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: too long since I've heard that giggle. Thanks for joining

727
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: us here on a cafe in in the beautiful Twin Cities.

728
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 6: As Bob Buker used to say, they don't call it

729
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 6: the best analyst in business for nothing. Is the best

730
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 6: producer in the history of my career in radio and television.

731
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 6: There's a liner for you, and now you're a star.

732
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go quite that far, mister Page. I was

733
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: explaining to the listeners in a different lifetime. I left

734
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota about thirty years ago and I end up in Denver, Colorado,

735
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: working for a brand new all sports station. And the

736
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: first show I produced thirty years ago was Woody and

737
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: the Man. What I've got three big things that come

738
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: to mind when I think about working with you on

739
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: that show. What do you remember about that show in

740
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: that station that we started back in nineteen ninety five.

741
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 6: Well, it's still going strong without me and without you.

742
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 6: That's the first that comes to mine. They've been successful

743
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 6: over the years, the fan, and I think there are

744
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 6: the fan shows all over the and radio stations all

745
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 6: over the country. But the first thing I'd like to

746
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 6: say is my heart and my support goes out to

747
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 6: Minneapolis and all it's great citizens. I love Minneapolis, but

748
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 6: given the atrocities that have happened there, I think constantly

749
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 6: about how much enjoyment I've had coming to Minneapolis for

750
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 6: different sports. Yeah, watching the Wild beat the Avalanche in

751
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 6: the first round, watching the Vikings, being there for the

752
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 6: Twins in the World Series, being there for football games.

753
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 6: I've spent a lot of time in Minneapolis and really

754
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 6: enjoyed myself there. So I'd like to reach out to

755
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 6: everybody there and say I'm wishing and hoping for you

756
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 6: at the times are good, both in sports in real life.

757
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: I think everyone definitely appreciates that, would Row. That's a

758
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: really nice of you to say. It has been tough

759
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: times here in the Twin Cities, but hopefully the clouds

760
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: are breaking, the sun is shining, and we're heading down

761
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: a new direction and hopefully we can get all.

762
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 6: This as we.

763
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm in figuratively because we just got dumped and literally

764
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: by a foot of snow over the past twenty four

765
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: to forty eight hours, so the sun is not shining

766
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: actually literally, but figuratively it is kind of I just read.

767
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 6: A report, Kevin, that an Australian reporter sports reporter has

768
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: gone on radio and apologized for going on on radio

769
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 6: drunk the day before. It's a good thing that I

770
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 6: didn't have to apologize today when you put me on

771
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 6: it this time in the morning.

772
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: I'm not drunk yet, it's too early in the day. Well,

773
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: you are in the Mountain time zone. What if it was.

774
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me bring three memories to mine when I

775
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: think of Woody Page, and these are things that I

776
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: think will strike you to the core.

777
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: Your bumper music.

778
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: Two of the ones that jumped to mine, Walking in

779
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: Memphis and Phantom of the Opera. Those were staples on

780
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: that on your shows when when I produced them. My

781
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: favorite bet and I brought this back here and you

782
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: can comment on these as you like. You made people

783
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: call in and say how much they love you. For

784
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: three hours. Then the next day you had them call

785
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: in for three hours and rip you. Not only call you,

786
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: but you had them facts in their thoughts about you,

787
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: whether it be good or bad. Would and they would

788
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: win some kind of a prize if they if they

789
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: made you laugh, even if they ripped you.

790
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 2: I thought it was brilliant.

791
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 6: I had done a show on another radio station prior

792
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 6: to that that just tored diver apart. I played a

793
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 6: game of scrabble against the state champion. Anybody that's know

794
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 6: about scrabble knows that you sit there and don't talk

795
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 6: for three hours except for about every four minutes. Ago

796
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 6: highlight four points my checkered career in radio. I will

797
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 6: tell people at Minneapolis and they obviously don't either know

798
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 6: me or care about me. But I was fired by

799
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 6: sixteen different radio stations and for different reasons. One guy

800
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 6: walked in who was an owner of station one day

801
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 6: and he had his record collection, his album collection under

802
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 6: his arm, and I said, John, what is that all

803
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 6: about you cleaning out her albums? He said, no, that's

804
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 6: my new format. You're fired. And I had a woman

805
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 6: I'm going to tread lightly here, but a woman who

806
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 6: owned the radio station that she bought for her son.

807
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 6: And she called me during a newsbreak once and told

808
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 6: me that I could not say what I said about

809
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 6: a Colorado football coach. Someone asked me what I thought

810
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 6: of his efforts, and I said, well, you can say

811
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 6: the word ass on radio and you can say the

812
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 6: word whole, just can't say the most at the same time.

813
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 6: And she called and fired me during a news break.

814
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: But and that was it. You would got lunch.

815
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 6: I think the most fun I ever had, though, was

816
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 6: working with you and in the station and the guy

817
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 6: who brought you in, who also had come from Minneapolis.

818
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 6: I think I'll leave it at that sports director and

819
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 6: he brought in a guy that was from Las Vegas,

820
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 6: and he called the show Wood He and the man,

821
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 6: and people would say to me, but you're the man,

822
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 6: he's not the man. And so I did my best

823
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 6: to get him kicked off the show and successful successfully

824
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 6: made him say an F word on air one day

825
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 6: talking about going yard, and he just got so upset

826
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 6: that I would say home runs were going yard and

827
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 6: he and he eventually got fired. I don't know where

828
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 6: he is now, but I'm going.

829
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: To guess I'm going to go out on a Limb.

830
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: I don't think the man has recovered from his brief

831
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 1: time with you. As we started up that station in Denver,

832
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: you did say, and I think kind of kiddingly that

833
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: people here in the Twin Cities might not know the

834
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: name Woody Page.

835
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 2: But I don't think that's true. Woody.

836
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: Maybe if you hadn't broke onto the television screen, maybe

837
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: that would be the case. But around the Horn three

838
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: thousand episodes on ESPN and ended you ended up as

839
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: the leader with seven hundred wins of all people in

840
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: this world.

841
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: How'd they talk you into TV?

842
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 6: Actually? I had On the day the night of the

843
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 6: change to the New Millennium, I was in the panmlcam

844
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 6: Canal with my girlfriend and we had decided to go

845
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 6: to Panama Canal in case the world came to an

846
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 6: end when the millennium changed, and we were in our

847
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 6: room on the ship, and suddenly while we were making love.

848
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 6: To be truthful, she said, you're on TV. And I

849
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 6: had worked for ESPN Classic, which had a show that

850
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 6: was very popular. Then the Classic doesn't really exist the

851
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 6: way it did, but they were picking the top athlete

852
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 6: of the century, and Michael Jordan got the award and

853
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 6: the network had interviewed me about Michael Jordan, and you'd

854
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 6: think it had been somebody in Chicago. But Jordan and

855
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 6: I had a good relationship then and do now because

856
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 6: we played blackjack together in Monte Carlo when the Dream

857
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 6: Team went over there in nineteen ninety two. And anyway,

858
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 6: the president of the network called me and said, you know,

859
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 6: we liked your work on Classic. Would you like to

860
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 6: come join us on an ESPN show? Meet me at

861
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 6: the super Bowl and I did. He said, we're going

862
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 6: to start a competent show. To pardon interruption, it's going

863
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 6: really well. Would you like to do it? And I said, nah,

864
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 6: really I said that, I said yeah. I think I

865
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 6: was fifty three before I said yeah, I just want

866
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 6: to I've stopped doing sports radio and just want to

867
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 6: concentrate on my column. And they came back to me

868
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 6: about three times and said, I said, what kind of

869
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 6: show are you doing? They said, well, it'll be Cadillac

870
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 6: Hollywood Squares and you'll be the man in the middle.

871
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 6: So that's they finally talked me into it, and after

872
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 6: two months I tried to quit because I thought I

873
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 6: was awful and I thought the show was awful, and

874
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 6: we ended up being on the air for more than

875
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 6: twenty three years. And what I'm proud of is their

876
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 6: shows like Cheers and Mash that didn't and like a

877
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 6: Seinfeld show, you think they would hold records for consecutive

878
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 6: shows or something. But we did twenty three years on

879
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 6: the air, and a new hierarchy arrived at ESPN and

880
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 6: decided that it was timed in the show, and I

881
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 6: think it had something to do with they thought it

882
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 6: was time for me. And so the last show was

883
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 6: in May, and I'm now doing the show, which the

884
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 6: podcast with a couple of guys that you do from Denver,

885
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 6: After the Horn, and we're doing I named it after

886
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 6: the Horny and ESPN hadn't copyrighted After the Horn. So

887
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 6: we do a podcast YouTube channel show and we have

888
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 6: some fun with it and talk sports and some politics

889
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 6: and do it every week. And that keeps me really

890
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 6: alive doing a new form of medium.

891
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: Since you and I were together, Yeah, and I just

892
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: can't I couldn't imagine you're going to TV now you're

893
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: doing podcasts and you're working on YouTube.

894

Speaker 2: If you want to find that show, you can find it.

895
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,120

899
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: Zipolo and Tom Green there in the Denver area. I

900
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: did watch your most recent episode and it brought it

901
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: here to me. You guys were talking about the great

902
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Doug Mo, and you know, I don't know how well

903
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: the fans here.

904
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: No Doug Mo.

905
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: I remember him from that time when he hosted the

906
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: show that first year. That's how I met him, and

907
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: I wish I would have kept in touch with him

908
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: better over the past thirty some years, but I know

909
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: you were pretty close to him. And listening to you

910
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: Ron and Tom talk about Doug Mo passing away earlier

911
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: this week, man, it was it was heart wrenching.

912
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 6: I would say this in all honesty. I think Doug

913
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 6: Mo was the most fun coach in professional sports history.

914
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 6: And if people in Minneapolis St. Paul, throughout Minnesota didn't

915
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 6: get the opportunity to watch him coach or watch him

916
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 6: be interviewed, here's the guy that out of ten years

917
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 6: of coaching the Dinver Nuggets, he took the team to

918
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 6: the playoffs and the Western Conference finals nine times that

919
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 6: he was in the playoffs, and on the day he

920
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 6: got fired by the different Nuggets. He's the one who

921
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 6: announced it in a press office bought on him. He said,

922
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 6: I've been fired. I had this group have been fired,

923
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 6: and so he was an incredible man. Larry Brown, who's

924
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 6: famous coach in both college and professional basketball, and Doug

925
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 6: MO and I were sitting along the Canal in San Antonio.

926
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 6: Anybody that's been the famous canal that runs through downtown.

927
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 6: And we were at a bar there and neither one

928
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 6: of them drank, so I had to drink for the

929
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 6: three of us. And Larry Brown looked at me and

930
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 6: he said, you know what I hated most about San Antonio.

931
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 6: The only thing I like here is the guacamole. And

932
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 6: Doug Mo said, don't say that for wood. He he'll

933
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 6: put it in the newspaper, so I did. Of course,

934
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 6: it was a headline the next day in San Antonio.

935
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 6: Larry Brown hates everything but the guacamole. The odd aspect

936
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 6: of this was that Doug Mo, as an assistant coach

937
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 6: to Larry Brown, tried to keep him in order because

938
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,240
Speaker 6: he would say things like at the end of the season,

939
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 6: he said, we got to back up the truck and

940
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 6: get a whole new game here, and Doug Wood would

941
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 6: calm him down. But oddly enough, both of them ended

942
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 6: up coaching, being the head coach in San Antonio. And

943
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 6: I just find that hilarious that the guys that ripped

944
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 6: on San Antonio the most ended up actually being successful

945
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 6: coaches in that city. And that's where Doug Moo ended

946
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 6: up living his last several well, I should say, a

947
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 6: couple of decades in San Antonio. And I'm sorry we

948
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 6: lost Doug. He was kind to me for years and years,

949
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 6: but he'd called me a big stiff, which is what

950
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 6: he had that day he had for losers. But when

951
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 6: we first time we went to New York for a

952
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 6: game between the next and the Nuggets, he took me

953
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 6: to Brooklyn and showed me where he was born and

954
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 6: where he lived as a kid. Cool and for those

955
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 6: of us who were old, he lived just outside the

956
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 6: leftfield wall at ebbotts Field Wow, where the Booksern Dodgers played,

957
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 6: so when he was a little kid, he could sneak

958
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 6: in the back door and watch the Dodgers play. And

959
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 6: I just thought, you know, coach doesn't do that for

960
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 6: you know, some goofy sports writer, but he did. I

961
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 6: had great respect I wrote for the My dream as

962
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 6: a kid was to write for two sports publications. One

963
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 6: was a sport magazine, which was bigger than Sports Illustrated

964
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 6: when I was young, and the other was a sporting news.

965
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 6: And I was a collegist for the Sporting News for

966
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 6: several years on basketball. And you had a sports writer

967
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 6: in Minneapolis and Saint Paul that I really had great

968
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 6: respect for, and he was a writer for Sporting News.

969
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 6: And we didn't meet until the Final four between Georgetown

970
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 6: and North Carolina. And people who followed college basketball will

971
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 6: know that famous game in New Orleans and Super Super

972
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 6: Dub when a guy named Michael Jordan hit the winning

973
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 6: shot and everybody now near Michael Jordan, and I sat

974
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 6: next to one of the guys I idolized, who was

975
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 6: the sports columnist for what eighty seven years in Minneapolis,

976
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 6: And when I told him who I was, he wasn't

977
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 6: very happy. He was as the city was one of

978
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 6: the icons in the business. I wrote Kevin in the eighties.

979
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 6: On April Fool's Day, I wrote that the Minnesota Twins

980
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 6: were moving to Colorado, and at the end of the column,

981
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 6: I said April Fools and someone sent that column to

982
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 6: him without the last line, and he wrote a column

983
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 6: rupping me. Oh my goodness, say I was an idiot. Well,

984
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 6: I am an idiot, as always have been, but it

985
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 6: was a Pfools column. And of course the Twins didn't

986
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 6: move to Denver. But I remember World Series there, as

987
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 6: I mentioned earlier, with those garbage bags in the southfield

988
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 6: playing in the in the Dome Stadium there. The old one, Yeah,

989
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 6: was eliminated at some point. A guy you also remember,

990
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 6: Jimmy Armstrong, who did a lot of sports Cull radio here.

991
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 6: He and I went for a Christmas Eve Christmas Day

992
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 6: game between the Vikings and the Broncos, and we're staying

993
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 6: at the area downtown and I hope it's still there

994
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 6: because the Dome Stadium is gone. But we check in

995
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 6: and the clerk at the desk said, you guys are

996
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 6: are very fortunate. We got nobody staying in the hotel,

997
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 6: so we're giving you a major upgrade. So I go

998
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 6: to my room and I can't believe it, and I

999
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 6: get a call from Jimmy Armstrong and he says, I've

1000
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 6: got a bar in my hotel room. There's a bar

1001
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 6: he said, you got to come down. I said, well,

1002
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 6: why don't you come up to my I have a

1003
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 6: grand piano in my room and two bedrooms. I got

1004
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 6: placed in the presidential suite in downtown Minneapolis and that's

1005
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 6: still my favorite in the entire world. And so we

1006
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 6: go down to the bar. He comes up and he goes,

1007
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 6: this is incredible. Had a kitchen. It was a presidential suite,

1008
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 6: had a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a grand piano. And

1009
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 6: we go down to the bar where there's only about

1010
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 6: three of us in tomorrow and Christmas Eve in Minneapolis,

1011
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 6: and the waitress comes up to us and it says,

1012
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 6: what can I get you? And we start talking to her,

1013
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 6: and Jimmy says, h can you play the piano? And

1014
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 6: I said, that's the worst line opening the LA four

1015
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 6: I heard in my life.

1016
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 2: Good stuff.

1017
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 6: But you've had some success with across the country. A

1018
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 6: runner from Minnesota, Minnesota and Colorado or major contributors to

1019
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 6: the Winter Olympics. Wisconsin. Yeah, how does Wisconsin have so

1020
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 6: many great speed skaters?

1021
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: Like?

1022
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: What else is there to do? What else is there

1023
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 2: to do in Wisconsin? You might as well skate right?

1024
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 6: Oh God, you don't do I was at the I've

1025
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 6: been to thirteen fourteen Olympics, and I was in Norway,

1026
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 6: and Norway hated Sweden. And after the first week of

1027
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 6: the Olympics, the Norwegian newspapers put in a headline that

1028
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 6: said Sweden tied and meadows with Mexico. So Wisconsin and

1029
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 6: Minnesota has that kind of you know, Colorado has a

1030
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 6: robberry with Nebraska. Yep, And once we wrote that we

1031
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 6: used to put a big wall up between Nebraska and

1032
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 6: Colorado so nobody could come over live in Colorado.

1033
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure that went over. Well, we're talking to Woody Page.

1034
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: I've taken up enough of your time. The other parallel

1035
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: here is I constantly watch your work bagging on the

1036
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies. We've got kind of the same situation here

1037
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. How are we going to fix baseball?

1038
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 2: Would he?

1039
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: I like watching the Twins, You like watching the Rockies,

1040
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: but right now they're at the bottom of the league

1041
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: in both their respective leagues.

1042
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: How do we get this fixed here?

1043
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 6: Well, for people again in Minnesota paid no attention to me,

1044
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 6: which is most I would guess point nine percent. You

1045
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 6: may be the only guy that reached my tweets about

1046
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 6: what I call the Rocks bottom team because they are

1047
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 6: at the Rocks bottom after last year lives together in

1048
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 6: nineteen games. But baseball thinks that the solution is salary

1049
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 6: cap because every other league has salary caps, and so

1050
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 6: that's will that solve baseball problem? No, not at all,

1051
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 6: because still the best teams and the richest teams will

1052
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 6: continue like the Dodgers Yankees to an extent, will continue

1053
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 6: to get most of the best players. People will play

1054
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 6: in New York and in Los Angeles. But if I

1055
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 6: were approaching trying to improve in both of the cities,

1056
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 6: Twin Cities and the Twin Cities of Colorado, people don't

1057
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 6: know that except you Denver and Aurora, although the presidents

1058
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 6: have been talking about Aurora and the Gangs there. But

1059
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 6: I would look at the Houston Astros what they did,

1060
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 6: and I'm not talking about the cheating, but parts of that.

1061
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 6: The Houston Astros were one of the worst teams in

1062
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball, yet they developed such a strong, strong

1063
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 6: minor league system that they had to suffer for three

1064
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 6: or four years. But the Astros have been a good team,

1065
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 6: you know, playoff team since then. Kevin and I think

1066
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 6: that it's not salary cap. It's going to be the

1067
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 6: solution because every other league has figured out ways. Teams

1068
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 6: in the leagues in the NBA, NFL have figured out

1069
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 6: ways to go round the salary cap. The salary cap

1070
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 6: is a joke as far as I'm concerned, because you

1071
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 6: can sign up a wide receiver with the Vikings and

1072
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 6: pay over eighty seven years something like that. But I

1073
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 6: think you've got to to improve teams in Minnesota's has

1074
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 6: some really good teams, good managers, great players that have

1075
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 6: come through there, and there's a cycle for what I

1076
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 6: call the medium city teams. I think that you've got

1077
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 6: to develop a minor league system. If you look at

1078
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 6: the top teams that are rated in organizations at the

1079
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 6: able A level, they're the ones that continue to win

1080
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 6: year after year. But I think there's this put a

1081
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 6: band aid on it kind of attitude that teams like

1082
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 6: Minnesota and the Rockies have that. So I think the

1083
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 6: answer is just developed. You know, how are the best

1084
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 6: scouts in the world skull you know, Asian ball players,

1085
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 6: the Latinos Venezuelan players that are great. I think that's

1086
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 6: what you do to develop it to be totally serious,

1087
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 6: which is not as you know, having worked with me

1088
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 6: for two years. Yeah, you know that I'm not very

1089
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 6: serious much about myself or about sports, because I take

1090
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 6: both of us as just, you know, guilty pleasures. It's

1091
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 6: really good to talk to you again. I hope that

1092
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 6: I've been able to come back because I love those

1093
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 6: tunnels in the sky from skyscraper discussion exactly. I love

1094
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 6: traveling all over downtown Minneapolis when I was there, and

1095
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 6: the Mall of America where that home plate is.

1096
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 2: I love that. That's exactly right.

1097
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 6: I love Minnesota except you get you know, you get

1098
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 6: some bad weather.

1099
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't come in the winter and make your home

1100
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: there in Colorado. I just want to say, as a

1101
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: parting shot, I don't know when I'll talk to you again.

1102
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll talk to you again, but

1103
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you. You

1104
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: might not realize the impact you had on my life

1105
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: and a mentor you were to me as a as

1106
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: a younger man. I take it forward each and every day.

1107
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: So again, I don't know when or if we'll ever

1108
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: talk again, but I love that I had the opportunity

1109
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: thank you.

1110
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 6: First of all, we were a good team, and you

1111
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 6: were a young man, and I stayed on your ass

1112
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 6: all the time, and I hope that that at least

1113
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 6: was positive in your life as it turned out. But

1114
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 6: the second thing you keep saying, if we talk again,

1115
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 6: you sound like I'm about to die.

1116
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 2: I don't mean it like that.

1117
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: I haven't talked in thirty years, Woodie. So I thought,

1118
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll ever get it. I don't

1119
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: know where I'll be in thirty years. I don't know

1120
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: where you'll be either, So I just wanted to make

1121
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 1: sure that I got that out.

1122
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 6: I can't talk to you. You go to every hockey

1123
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 6: game that exists in that state, night after night, and

1124
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 6: when the season's not playing, you still are talking about

1125
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 6: hockey every day.

1126
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 2: Ye pretty much.

1127
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 6: I live with Doug Bow you talked about need nothing

1128
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 6: about hockey, But yet the station that you and I

1129
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 6: worked for called him hockey Dug.

1130
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 2: Yes, one of the great ironies of life.

1131
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, good, Kevin, It's been a pleasure. And again, my

1132
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 6: thoughts always go out to Minnesota over the last weeks

1133
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 6: and months, and I hope everything it's calming down there,

1134
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:23,240
Speaker 6: and that the great cities, the two cities, best of times,

1135
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 6: worst of times. You've gone through the worst of times.

1136
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 6: Now you're going to go through the best of times.

1137
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: Thank you would real stay well, there he is, Woody

1138
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: Page of star, a star of print and screen. That

1139
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: was very self serving and it went a lot longer

1140
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: than I thought it would, but it was a phenomenal

1141
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: to catch up with him after a long time. I'm

1142
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: still very active on the old Twitter machine. You heard

1143
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: he's got the After the Horn podcast as well. Find

1144
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: that on YouTube.

1145
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 6: But just.

1146
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, he was a crabby individual back in the day.

1147
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: I think he's lightened up here a little bit. But again,

1148
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: he meant a lot to me in my career and

1149
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: I just wanted to take the opportunity.

1150
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 2: To thank him.

1151
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: Quick little update in the semifinals, Finland jumped out to

1152
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: a two zero lead over Canada, but the Canadians are

1153
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: on the board. Cale mccarr with a blast on the

1154
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 1: power play redirected by Sam Reinhardt and out to two

1155
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: to one hockey game late in period number two. That's

1156
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: the update on the semifinals. We are way late for

1157
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: a break, so we'll take that now. Joe O'Donnell next

1158
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: on the fan. This might be the worst clock management

1159
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: in the history of the Fan, and that's saying something.

1160
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: This is a station that has Dan Burrero, a station

1161
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: that has Dan the common man call. I just completely

1162
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: blew up the clock because I couldn't stop Woody and

1163
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: nor did I want to. But because of that, now

1164
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm paying the price for the eleven o'clock hour. Here's

1165
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: your update from Milan. They're just at the end of

1166
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 1: the second period, icing call coming back in the Finland zone,

1167
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: an offensive zone face off for Canada. Finn still holding

1168
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: on to a two to one lead with thirty seconds

1169
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: thirty six seconds left in the middle frame. Canada down

1170
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: to one to the Fins, but outshooting them twenty two

1171
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: to ten as they get the breather for intermission. Unfortunately,

1172
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: I got to take another quick break. Then we'll get

1173
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: Joe o'donald and Brody Lamb before we wrap up the show.

1174
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: Nine to noon on the Fan.
