1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Let me turn you on in your morning show and

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show, American hero TJ.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: O she Capital's legend. How are you, sir?

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 3: I'm doing good. How are you doing?

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Ye her a nasty rumor about you. I know you're

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: back in Minnesota.

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, I guess, I guess I can confirm words

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: out words out. It took me a little while to

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: tell my world buddies that I was moving there, but

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 3: we are, we are back. I had to be close

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: to the golf course remembers at Interlock, and I'm a

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 3: big golf guy, so I can't be too far away

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: from the first seat now.

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: And for DC folks, DNA is the Potomac slash Vienna

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: of Minnesota.

16
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: So Adam Banks mighty Ducks. There we go. I wanted

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: to ask, obviously TJ.

18
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Former Olympian, yourself in the games going on right now?

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Stupid question, but when you were at Sochi? To me,

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: the Olympics is kind of like a big hockey tournament, obviously,

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: what'd you guys do when it wasn't game day? Would

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: you hang out into neee hockey in the hallway? Would

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: you go to the village? What happens when you guys

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: aren't playing an Olympics.

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was a little mixed. A lot

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: of guys soaked it all in. They went and watched

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: other sports. Uh, went through the Olympic village, probably hung

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: out with some of the other athletes that at in

29
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: like the cafeteria kind of hall. It's kind of a

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: college set up, right, you kind of got the dorms

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: and then big cafeteria for old athletes. I'm a I'm

32
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: like a competition guy, right, So I was in the

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: room as much as I could be, playing cards with

34
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: the other guys on the team and trying to take

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: guys money. Uh. We don't play for a lot, but

36
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: more so the pride and and I just enjoyed beating people.

37
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 3: So that was that was kind of my my thing.

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: And it's it's the same, you know, on every flight

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: and every bus ride that I've been on. I like

40
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: to get the games going.

41
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: Was there a certain maybe competition that he went and

42
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: saw on personally or blown away by because to me,

43
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: I think like the skeleton thing where the guys laid

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: down on the sled thing looks crazy. Were there any

45
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: other sports you and actually watch when you're in the Olympics.

46
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. I went to the mountains one time.

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: It was pretty tough, so she was. It was set up,

48
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: it wasn't very like travel friendly to get around everything.

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: So I went up to the mountain and watched Sean

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: White on the half pipe, and I got to say, like,

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: when everyone else would go, I think he might have

52
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: only gotten silver during this half pipe front. But when

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 3: everyone else went, You're like, wow, these guys are good.

54
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: And then he went and he was jumping. It looked

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: like a full two people higher than everyone else. It

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: was like, man, you just when you get up there

57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: and you see, like how much of how steeped the

58
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 3: half pipe actually is on TV, it looks like it's

59
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: relatively flat, you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean

60
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: it was so you just, I guess if you're not

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: someone that lived in the mountains and see all that

62
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: stuff going on, it was amazing. Oh wow, how phenomenal

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: he was.

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the funny thing about this Olympics set, there's

65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the arena and how the

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: ice isn't the same size. My favorite story coming out.

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Hockey players are some of the most superstitious athletes I

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: think in the world. But the fact that where the

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: team gets dressed before the game is not where they

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: have the changing in between periods. I mean, how much

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: that driven you crazy? Were you a superstitious player back

72
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: in the day.

73
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: I was superstitious, but not about not to the point

74
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: where it would like get me off my game. And

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: it's almost kind of more fun to, like, you know,

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: to kind of like chirp the facilities or something between

77
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: the guys and you kind of like you bond over

78
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: like it not being NHL situation, But hockey players are

79
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: also just competitors in general, just like great people, and

80
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: so I think they the love of the game and

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: the love of the sport and the competition trump's whatever

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: the accommodations are. So I think no matter what it

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: is where you're sitting, these guys just love playing hot

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: and there's I mean, I know a lot of players

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: back at home or on vacation right now that would

86
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: love to trade places.

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely talk about the competition. I think the kind of

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: cool thing about the NHL guys being back in it.

89
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: We saw it in the lot via games certainly, but

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: seeing these guys get on the same page so quickly

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: is kind of odd because they've had about a week

92
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: or so to have practice. Can you just kind of

93
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: talk about you go to soci and getting the ice together.

94
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: How long does it take to get somewhat of a

95
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: gel with guys maybe you played with before, but not

96
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: really you know, every day.

97
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a It is a big adjustment if

98
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: you're not there with someone that is on your team

99
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: or someone that you've played with the for them, you

100
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: don't know where they like to be, where they like

101
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: to get the puck. Little things like that you can't

102
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: simulate in a practice. Right. So I went to the

103
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: Olympics with David Becketts being my centerman in Saint Louis

104
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: and then Paul Stasne's my centerment when I got there,

105
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: and very different players. Both very great players, very fun

106
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: to play with. But Stads like getting the pucks in

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: like more support roles and underneath, and he's more of

108
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 3: a playmaker where he's back, more of a big, physical

109
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: on the four check kind of guy. And so it

110
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: was it's different and you got to adjust to it.

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: I think this American team is so deep and so

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: smart and so good at moving the puck and supporting

113
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: each other that I think the chemistry is building a

114
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: little bit faster. And they also have the four nations

115
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: to build off of, which we didn't have in associ

116
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: So I love the usay's game, and it's gonna take everyone,

117
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: you know, a game or two to really mesh and

118
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: really build like a real chemistry. But I thought for

119
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: the most part, for game one and you know, say

120
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: what you want about Lavia, but they're still good players

121
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: on that side, I thought the US did a good job.

122
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: That was a game where when those two goals are

123
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: wiped off, it gave the vibe of like this is

124
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: going to be a two to one game of a

125
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: some bs av a skate goal and go the other way.

126
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: But then they pulled it out. I did want to

127
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: first of all, I appreciate you beying. Obviously TJ a

128
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Capitol's legend. There was a lot talk for a long

129
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: time but the Caps having the monkey on the shoulder

130
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: of winning the cup and whatever happened, obviously you guys

131
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: won the Cup. Is there a monkey on the shoulder

132
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: of tam Usa? I think the miracle and ice team

133
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: looms over until the next gold. Is it comparable to

134
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: the monkey in the back of the Caps skin? The

135
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 1: Cup where it's like we never won the Cup before,

136
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: to the Gold Medal where it's like it's nineteen eighty

137
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: was writing parallels with that kind of pressure.

138
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: So I can I can see a resemblance between the

139
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: two because we as at the Caps, we were our

140
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: thought was if we could get past Pittsburgh, what we're

141
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: gonna win the Cup? Sure, Like that was just our

142
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: mentality the two years before when they won the Cup.

143
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: We were the President's Trophy both those years, so on paper,

144
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: technically we're a better team going in. And so it's

145
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: almost just at that mindset and that belief that like,

146
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: this is gonna be your year that year when we

147
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: beat them, we're like, we don't care what the expectations are.

148
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: People had somewhat written us off a little bit back

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: then in twenty eighteen. Everyone said Ovi's window had passed

150
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: for his chances trading up.

151
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and that he was slowing down.

152
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: It's funny saying that now after everything that's happened in

153
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: the last seven years. But and so we kind of

154
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: went into it more like we don't care what happens,

155
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: win or lose. We're going to play a certain way

156
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: and if that's not good enough, We're fine losing like that.

157
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: Before it was like we have to win, We're too

158
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: good not to win. Su I think this American team,

159
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: they seem there's a lot of hype around them, and

160
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: they almost got this like this like confidence about it

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: that they and they love it. But they also I

162
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: feel like, have like this all in mentality, like we're

163
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: just gonna do it, We're going about it. And I

164
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: think the fear maybe I don't want to say fear,

165
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: but maybe a little bit of an intimidation factor that

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: I feel like we might have had an associate against Canada.

167
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: I think that's that intimidation is gone. Yeah, and this

168
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: US team is ready to prove that they're on that

169
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: same level unless they don't have. I mean, Canada has

170
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: arguably like three of the best players in the world right,

171
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: three players that can change a game on their own time.

172
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: And they also got my boys, my boy with over there.

173
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: But but this American team, I see something special in them.

174
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: And I think players like brock Nelson stuffing up Page

175
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: Thompson playing having a good game. I think that's going

176
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: to be important because their death is something that is

177
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: now a strength and maybe wasn't and I am kind

178
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: of bashing myself here being a fourth liner and Soshi,

179
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: but the depth on this team is really good.

180
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: I think that's also credit to you guys growing the

181
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: game though, and that's I wanted to kind of bring

182
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: up to rap and again talking to T j Oshi.

183
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: You know USA Hockey, I coach hockey at George shown

184
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Prepp out here and they made the rule about net guards.

185
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: I know the war O Company, which is your athletic brand.

186
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: You're one of the first ones to really make like

187
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: the cut resistant undergear. He's kind of talk about this

188
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: stuff too, so I think, as you know, parents want

189
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: to make sure their kids are safe, and people forget

190
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: hockey is played on very sharp steel blades because she

191
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: talk about maybe the benef of the world gear. You

192
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: guys have it, because it's been like not really new

193
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: for you guys, you know.

194
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, we've been in this since twenty twenty one.

195
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: A young boy in Connecticut I thought in a headline

196
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: that he had lost his life tragically to a skate

197
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 3: cut to the neck. Yeah, And I immediately called our

198
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: CEO and I was like, hey, I want neck guards

199
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: like now, I want to make them now. I want

200
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: them to be the best ones we could possibly make.

201
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: Want them to be comfortable, because that's the problem hockey players.

202
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: There's so much gear and there's so much rubbing things

203
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 3: going on, and so we did our very best to

204
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: make this as cut resistant as it can be while

205
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: also still being comfortable. We're in the process right now

206
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: of taking things to the absolute next level, and that's

207
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: going to probably be twenty twenty seven ish. But but

208
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 3: we made the best possible shirt, so much so that

209
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: I made this basically for me, for the NHL player,

210
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: and we made the same exact thing. Everything I identical,

211
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: from every piece of fabric, every piece of yarn, silver

212
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: yarn in the body to be anti micro will not

213
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: a spray that can wash out. And so I would

214
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: say to parents of anything, do your research before you

215
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: buy protective gear. And it's funny, and people talk about

216
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: all the time, like the how expensive hockey sticks are

217
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: in hockey skates, but people will still go buy like

218
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: these hockey sticks crazy insane, and they really don't make

219
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: that big of a difference on the ice, they really don't.

220
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: But when it comes to protective gear, they'll they'll buy

221
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: the lower version because it's less expensive than this thing.

222
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: Can really save a life. So we're trying to protect

223
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: hockey future at the NHL level, at the youth level,

224
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: and we really did as good of a job as

225
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: we could with these things that take a lot of

226
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: pride in them. And even if it's not with World,

227
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: and I say this all the time, I've never made

228
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: a cent from where I've never pulled a dollar out

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: of the company. We want to protect kids. So even

230
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: if it's not us, I hope the kids are protecting

231
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: the parents do their research on the cut resistant materials,

232
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: not just buy a name brand or not just buy

233
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: something because it's less and expensive. It can really save lives.

234
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: And we've seen an amazing I can't tell you how

235
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: many pictures we've seen a kid with black and blue

236
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: bruises on their necks from taking eskates to the neck.

237
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 3: There's not even one little scratch of skin taken off.

238
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: So they are working.

239
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is crazy. By the way, it's at warrow

240
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: dot com.

241
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: One last question with Tjoshi, how pissed were you when

242
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: you were tired that then cap On reannounced an eight

243
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar upgrade. Is that one of those things

244
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: that when you graduate a school and all of a sudden,

245
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: the weight room comes in.

246
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: Oh man, this I feel like this has happened my

247
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 3: whole career. I left Saint Louis with multiple things right

248
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: outdoor games. The Caps had it the year before I

249
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: got there. Saint Louis had it the year or left.

250
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: I left Saint Louis. They got a new locker room,

251
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: and they've been saying this to come for years. But

252
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: now I'm happy for the guys and Ted and everyone

253
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 3: in Monumental is doing a great job of really treating

254
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: the boys and families. I would say, probably more importantly, uh,

255
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: the way that they built the family room out now,

256
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: the fan experience is going to be unbelievable. I'm on

257
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: the business side of Monumental now as well as TV,

258
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: and so I got the CDs. What they're doing from

259
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 3: the inside out and the experience at Capital One is

260
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: going to be unbelievable. But yeah, don't get me wrong.

261
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: When I walk in the locker room after a game

262
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: and I see all these young bucks runninground like boys

263
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 3: like we didn't have it bad. I love playing. I

264
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: thought we had it pretty good, but these guys, I'm like,

265
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: you guys are so spoiled. Yeah, make sure like I

266
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: don't want to see a piece of dirt on the

267
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: on the carpet here.

268
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is unbelievable.

269
