1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Shit at. Miller sends one in wild back forward.

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: Hartman turned it over, Fox up high, gabbertoff A Lane

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: fired him front. They scored tro Check with his stick down.

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Gaber Kow fold everyone with a slap pass to the slots.

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Just like that. It's for one. Solars couldn't get it

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: with his goal stick.

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: Eric set bottom of the right circle, swerves it up high.

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Jus Well, it's fires are drive blocked. Nice chips the

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: center a foot race, knins and hughes. Nice gets there

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: and he scores. Matthew Nice, a former Golden Gopher, seals

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: this one up potentially for Toronto with a half minute ago.

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: Matty Nis, though, that's unbelievable. You gotta be kidding me.

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: You have got to be kidding me. Well, puck talk

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: with Pat mcletty at pap MC two six six via

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: the X machine. How about before before we get into

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: the world of hockey, how about our main man, KG,

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: Kevin gorg He the TPC just took place. He wins.

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: He wins the Canterbury Press Box TPC draft and the

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: Power Trip draft thanks to Cameron Young. That uh, that's

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: a heck of a scoop and couldn't happen to a

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: nicer guy.

22
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. But if I were

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: him and want to maintain the friendship that you and

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: I both have with him, I might want to suggest

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: to him that he'd take us to lunch or something.

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: Why would that be? Well, I mean, he didn't like

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: beat me by a nose, and you were eliminated pretty

28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: much the time we started draft.

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: You don't have to rub it in.

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: I mean.

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: There was a point where I was not going to

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: have one guy make it.

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: To the weed exactly. It's inside baseball, it's inside the weeds.

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: But when you said that sad text Friday, not even

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: close to the cut, You're like, guys, I think there's

36
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: a chance all six of my golfers are going to

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: miss the cut. I always love that one.

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: Can I end up I'm in contention for the overall winner?

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: I mean Bobby mack right, I mean he almost did

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: make the cute and then he was so close to

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: winning the tournament.

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah sure he was. Yeah that see, that's what I

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: thought about, something called Brian Harmon. I always love that one.

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: For about five minutes. Okay, so KG, very very very

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: well done.

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm very happy for him.

47
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I understand you know now, but

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: now we need to get kg's hockey team going losers

49
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: of three in a row, with the wild paint, with

50
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: the broad brush. You're an elite hockey mind and you're

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: on the mural at Mariucci. What what's happening?

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: Well, here's the deal, Paul and I. I you know,

53
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people are very upset and

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: not happy with, you know, the past three games. I

55
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: am a big picture guy, and I you know, I

56
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: go back to October, well, boy, oh boy, this team's

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: not even gonna you know, they may not win a game.

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: And then I go to November and they don't lose

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: a game. And so, you know, we see that throughout

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 3: the year where you get on a little roll, you

61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: get off that role and you know, but but for

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: the majority of this season, this team has been really consistent.

63
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: That being said, we're at the end of the year,

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: how many games off, fifteen games something like that. You

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: want to be playing your best hockey going, you know,

66
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. They've had a little misstep in their

67
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: last three. They've got new players on their team, and

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: as I alluded to, you on on the pond on Saturday,

69
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: you know, before the Ranger game, you know, I said, listen,

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: when you have new guys you've got you know, there's

71
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: step one, get them here, step two, get them you know,

72
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: implemented into the into the regiment of of how this

73
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 3: team works. And then three on the on the ice

74
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: and that part. You know again it is good. Is

75
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: going to take a little time to get roles figured

76
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: out and you know how they're going to roll into

77
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs. So that being sad, I'm not going to

78
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: get overly concerned about the last three games. Now, if

79
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: this continues in the next five, six or seven games,

80
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: I'll be really concerned, as I was concerned going into

81
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year because I didn't think they were

82
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: playing well going into the playoffs. So you know, let's

83
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: let's see how this materializes in the next four to

84
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: five six games and then you know, then I think

85
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be fine.

86
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I like what they have, but it's it just.

87
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: Needs a little bit time to to roll itself into that.

88
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: Uh, mister mister mctocket, Pat mclotty, help help me and

89
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: and those of us who are you know, not exactly

90
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: sure how what I'm about to explain happened to lead

91
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: you Toronto's third goal yesterday? All right, So Matt Boldy

92
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: one of the very best players in the NHL. Love

93
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: him on the squad ten of ten. Not everybody's perfect.

94
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: But I may be seeing this incorrectly. So he's he's

95
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: in the corner, all right, and he's yep. Was he

96
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: trying to whip a pass to ericson eck or did

97
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: he just blindly send it to the center of the

98
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: ice for like the easiest third goal in the history

99
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: of third goals.

100
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: No, that that that's your outlet to the to the

101
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: center of the ice when you're in the corner like that,

102
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: you know it's it's you don't if you don't have to.

103
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: You don't want to throw it up the boards because

104
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: you know it's more difficult to get out if you're

105
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: looking just to chip it out.

106
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Fine, but.

107
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: Your outlet is the middle of the ice, and if

108
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 3: you watch more often than not, that is you know,

109
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: that's that's your play if you can make it. And

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: he you know, he threw it out.

111
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

112
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: From Team TV whether eric'sink missed it. If it was

113
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: too hard you know, too fast of a pass when

114
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: it went, you know, just off just a little bit,

115
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: or if it you know, jumped over Eric's next stick.

116
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: It was it was the right play, you know, because

117
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: gets it, they're out of the zone and they're starting

118
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: to rush, and so you know that was just a

119
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, an unfortunate play for how you know,

120
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: for how it ended up.

121
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Now I brought this up to you before and

122
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and this is this is FEMA fairness in Johnny the

123
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Mouse Michelson act because he put it on me years ago.

124
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: And yep it's bearing fruit, I mean in negative fashion.

125
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: But Mattie and eyes, matting eyes. He he sealed it

126
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: all up last night with the empty netter. Uh. He's

127
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: a former Gopher by way of the Arizona Junior Coyotes program. Uh.

128
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: So let's start here. What was he a dominating golden

129
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: gopher when he played here for Moscow.

130
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: Percent he was. He was a man amongst boys, and

131
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: you watch him play with the tenacity that he played with.

132
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: Yes to answer your question was okay, thank you. So.

133
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one NHL Entry Draft, Nyes goes fifty seventh

134
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: to Toronto. We selected three players ahead of him, and

135
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm generally not let's I don't dwell on the past, man, Okay,

136
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: but it just it reared. It reared. It's ever ugly

137
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: had yesterday when he outworked Husey to get the puck

138
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: and then out sprinting for the empty net or to

139
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: seal the deal. We selected three players ahead of Matty

140
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: Nice Volstadt at twenty, Carson Lambos at twenty six, Jack

141
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Peart Peart at fifty four. I mean, honestly, I mean,

142
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: with respect to these guys in Iowa, it would be

143
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: cool if one of those picks had gone the way

144
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: of Nice. I mean, they're both with the Iowa Wild

145
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know, maybe they're late developers, but it

146
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: just continues to bug me a little bit.

147
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: But me too.

148
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: But that being said, and you know, when those guys

149
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: are getting drafted, they are raw, very raw, and it's

150
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: really by luck, it really is, because you don't know

151
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: how they're going to develop, and you're guessing. They're all guessing, well,

152
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: we see this guy in three years being X, Y

153
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: or Z. And you know, at that particular time, they

154
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: probably felt Pere was the guy that was ahead in

155
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: terms of their thought process of how fast this kid

156
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: could develop and what he could develop into. And you know,

157
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: Maddie Knight's may have not been you know, the player

158
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: that we projected now right, meaning you know, maybe he

159
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: wasn't as good a skater or maybe he didn't play

160
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: with the tenacity that he does now, but that quickly

161
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: turned when he got to Minnesota, and you know, look

162
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: what he's turned out to be. So you know, in

163
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: fairness to the team's drafting, it's all a craft shoot

164
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: really when you're when you're drafting after and even even

165
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 3: when you guys in the first round, there's been a

166
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: lot of bus in the first round. But you know,

167
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: so it's really difficult. Hockey's really really difficult when you're selecting,

168
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: drafting players and hoping what they potentially are going to be.

169
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: All right, this is good Mick talk. It Thus it's

177
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 5: Hey, Patrick, early on you mentioned, Hey, we got some

178
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 5: new guys in the mix here. We're trying to build

179
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 5: some chemistry and just kind of the conversation. It's so

180
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 5: nice with his depth being built that there might be

181
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 5: a different guy in the press box every night. But

182
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 5: iron sharpens iron. Nobody wants to be up there, so

183
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 5: team's gonna be better. What have you thought of some

184
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: of these guys? I mean Brink, I think he gets

185
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 5: nicked up in the in the Mammoth game, so I

186
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 5: don't think we've seen him since, but he gets that

187
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: goal in the blowout win over Utah mccaren in the mix, Like,

188
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: what do you think about some of these new guys

189
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 5: despite the results of the game. What are we getting

190
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: from the guys that Garren added before the deadline?

191
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 3: Well, I think Nordo, I think there was a pivot

192
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: put on right at the trade deadline. They didn't want

193
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: to pay what was being offered in return for a

194
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: number one center, and quite frankly, I don't thrink. I

195
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: don't think Trocheck is a number one center. I think

196
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: he's more you know, he's not that offensive juggernaut. Yeah

197
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: he can, he can do a lot of things, but

198
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: he's not your true number one center. So I want

199
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: to eliminate that right away, okay. And what they would

200
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: have had to pay to get him, I wouldn't have

201
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: done it. And so I think the pivot was put on.

202
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: They acquired Felino, they had gotten mcaren. So that tells me, Okay,

203
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: you know what, we feel like we have enough scoring

204
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: up front with the priest at Boldie, you know, Johansson,

205
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: not Johnson as of late, but you you get where

206
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: I'm going. And so I think he thought, Okay, you

207
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: know that bottom six, we're gonna be hard to play against.

208
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: We're gonna be bigger, we're gonna be stronger, and and

209
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: we're just going to be a beast to play against.

210
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: So I think that was the mindset of garn One.

211
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: He realized that he wasn't going to be able to

212
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: get a number one center and so and and that's

213
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: why I'm like, okay, you know, let Marcus Feleno get

214
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: back in the lineup. You know, get your lines how

215
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: you want them for the playoffs where you have your

216
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: scoring lines and then you have your tough, hard, not

217
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: going to give up anything, be able to chip in,

218
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: make it difficult for the other team to get in

219
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: the offensive zone because you know, you're you're just beast

220
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: down in the offensive zone. And so I think that

221
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: was the mindset of of Bill Garan. Now we're gonna

222
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 3: have to wait and see how it plays out. Right,

223
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to see if the lineup when it's

224
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: truly formed, uh is going to be and and that's

225
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: that's the unknown. I kind of like, what what what

226
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: their thought process is. But again, we're gonna have to

227
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: see how lays out and and and that's why I

228
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: say I'm a big picture guy. When you when you

229
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 3: look at what the what the what the thought process

230
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: is going into the playoffs and who they have to

231
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: play against in the in the first two rounds.

232
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you this, do you believe Pat

233
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: that we have enough scoring up front? And and in

234
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: the end, you know, we we went over this, whether

235
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: it was trocheck. You see what uh the the Avs

236
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 5: gave up for Codri et cetera. I mean those that

237
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 5: wanted to add at the deadline, we're going to pay

238
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 5: an absolute premium. And garin by all accounts, maybe smartly

239
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: stayed out of the mix, and that's cool, and if

240
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 5: something big pops this summer, will all be like, man,

241
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 5: it's a good thing we didn't get Vinnie. However, do

242
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: you think we currently have enough scoring?

243
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: Uh? Twelfth or so in the league in terms of

244
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: goals per game.

245
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: You see moments where, you know, in both the Flyers

246
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 5: game and the Rangers game, you get goals from Boldie.

247
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: So we're gonna need a lot a lot of that

248
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: from from Matt. But but then in the mix, uh,

249
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 5: you know, yesterday is a good example where you're just

250
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: kind of grinding your way to Talli's with the Tara

251
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: Sanko and if it's not working up front, you know,

252
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 5: it's hard for me and maybe a lot of people

253
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: to see where these goals are.

254
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: Going to come from.

255
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: If if those top line high flyers aren't doing their thing.

256
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: I do because of Quinn Hughes and and I say that,

257
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: you know, he's got forty points in thirty five games, right,

258
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: something like that with with with the wild and so

259
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: I think you're going to have to get you know,

260
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: continue to get offense from from from your defense. But

261
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: up front, yeah, well you know, the guys I mentioned,

262
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: you know, they're they're they're counted on to do score

263
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: goals and and typically you know, your top two lines

264
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: are the guys that are are expected to score. Now

265
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: that being said, you know, once they get you know,

266
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: their lines, how they want them to be in the

267
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: system that they want them to play in in the playoffs,

268
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: you know what, you know you might and we've seem

269
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: you know, we've seen Nick Folino get his chances right,

270
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: and so I think, yes, to answer your question, I

271
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: do believe they have enough and so I'm confident in

272
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: that phase of the game.

273
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: Uh let me let me hit you with this mick talk.

274
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: It is maybe or like, like, how would you analyze

275
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: the chance they've become too comfortable with their lots in life?

276
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: And what I mean is they know they get the

277
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Stars or Avalanche round one and that they won't have

278
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: homyse advantage. So like maybe human nature is registering hat

279
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: tricks on us and we're we're we're missing just that

280
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: little extra with the details and to win games, what

281
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: I would be a problem.

282
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: And you know, and you have to look at it,

283
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: you know, uh, you know, from from this perspective, are

284
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: they defending are they getting the goaltending, Are they getting

285
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: enough scoring up front?

286
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: You know?

287
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 3: And so it's all encompassing. It's it's not just you know,

288
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: one thing or the other. To win a championship, you

289
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: need all of those things going, particularly defending and and

290
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: and not letting in a bad goal. And so, you know,

291
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: I think those are the important things. If they defend well,

292
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: I I like, I like what they have. I think

293
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: they have enough upfront to be able to handle it.

294
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: But they've got to defend well. They cannot give up

295
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: bad goals. And I think that that'll be the key

296
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: in the playoffs and that and that goes back to

297
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: the thinking Paul of Okay, you know they added a

298
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: Nick Felino. Uh, guys been in the league for a

299
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: long time, knows how to play, and you know, and

300
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: then a bigger I you know, like like mccaren. You know,

301
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 3: who can who can eat up some minutes and and

302
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 3: maybe contribute just a just a little bit, not a lot,

303
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: but you know, a little bit. And so you know,

304
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 3: if you can get something out of your third and

305
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: fourth lines, you know, and and and make sure that

306
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: those guys are really really hard to play against, then

307
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: then you know, then I like it. I like it.

308
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: Who who do you prefer Round one? And why Dallas

309
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: or Colorado?

310
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: You know, pick your poison. I you know I I

311
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: am I scared of either team, No, because you know

312
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: they have their warts too. I mean, if you get

313
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: on Colorado's defense, they do not have size wise the

314
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 3: biggest defense. You know that. That's always been my problem

315
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 3: kind of with the whild I thought, you know what,

316
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: if you for check and get hard on on on

317
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: on the Minnesota defense, it's gonna be it's gonna be tough.

318
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 3: And I think if you pound and pound and pound

319
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: Colorado's defense, well that's gonna take uh take away what

320
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: Colorado can do offensively. Now, the depth of Dallas I

321
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: like a lot and you know, a healthy heigh skin

322
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: in is you know, it makes their makes their team

323
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 3: even better. And so uh and and uh ant Gier

324
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: has not been great as of late. So you know,

325
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 3: I'm not afraid of either team because I think I

326
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: think we can match up well with both teams.

327
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: Uh. Time for a few more for Pat mclety at

328
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: Pat make two six six. It's a hockey thing in

329
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: the state of hockey. Why were things so rough for

330
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: Moscow's team this season.

331
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: Well, in my opinion, and Bob has stated it, I

332
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: think he made the decision to honor the commitments that

333
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 3: he made to the young guys that were coming in.

334
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 3: I think two or three of them should have spent

335
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: another year in junior. He opted not to go to

336
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: the portal and go after the the you know, Western

337
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: Lane kids or the Ontario Hockey League kids that were eligible,

338
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 3: that were high end players. He didn't do that, and

339
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: you know, and you know it.

340
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: It took a while.

341
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 3: These young kids improved and I like them a lot,

342
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 3: but I don't think some were ready yet. And you know,

343
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: when you average under three goals a game in college hockey,

344
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: you're just not.

345
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 6: Going to win.

346
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: And then, and that's the first thing. Secondly, they didn't

347
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: have an offensive defenseman, which absolutely killed them. If you

348
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: are going to win in college hockey, you need at

349
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 3: least one or two offensive defensemen. If you do not

350
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: have that, you're not going to generate at any offense.

351
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: And that was a problem all year. Now, Uh, they

352
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: defended very well this year and they got really good goaltending,

353
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: but you know, you need you need to you need

354
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: to get to three or more goals and and and

355
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: that was a problem for them all year.

356
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Who do you like In the n cub A Basketball Tournament.

357
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: The one seeds are Arizona, Florida, Duke, and Michigan.

358
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: I've been on Florida. I've kind of switched a little bit.

359
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: I think Arizona has found their found their game. I

360
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: like them a lot. Duke intrigues me, you know, with

361
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: the boozers, I like, I like them. Uh so I'm

362
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: gonna go either Arizona or Duke doing it?

363
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: How about yourself? Talk good? No idea, but I'll formulate

364
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: no idea. No, Well it's a I mean I don't golf.

365
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't watch golf, I don't follow golf. Yet, well,

366
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: we win well when we get in these little tournaments.

367
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean I've done okay over the years. So I

368
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: have a system. I have a formula, and I will.

369
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: Know you do it. And you and you have yet

370
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: to reveal anything for one of your good friends your formula. Yeah,

371
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: but I have a don't you want to share the wealth.

372

00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: only heard best Buy sixty five inches? Why because I'm

406
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: feverishly researching something called Demand Claiborne, where a reliable football

407
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: mind has informed the world the Minnesota Vikings are going

408
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: to include and this is assuming uninformed football mind is accurate,

409
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: Wake Forest running back Demand Claiborne, Oh is going to

410
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: be making a Top thirty visit to the Minnesota Vikings

411
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: in front of the draft Oh demon Claiborne. I'm feversly

412
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: trying to figure out exactly who he is.

413
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 5: Do they do the do they do the big like

414
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 5: the Top thirty dinner bit in Egan where they they

415
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 5: have have a bunch of potential prospects in one spot

416
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 5: at the same time or is it trickle in with

417
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 5: the with the independent workouts and such.

418
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I'm going to say no. I

419
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: believe it is a Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, Dog

420
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: and Pony show best facility in the NFL, which it

421
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: is players, coaches, executives, media members who like comeing to

422
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: cover games and stuff on Mike Drico is is the

423
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: is the a topic? Because when the Vikings have a

424
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: home game on Sunday night Football Tarrico, Collinsworth, Melissa Stark

425
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: and that group, they arrive Thursday or Friday morning, they

426
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: go to the Friday practice and then they're here the weekend.

427
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: So I'll get a chance to chat with Mike extensively

428
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: during the Vikings practice on Friday. He said it a

429
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: million times. You know this is it's there. This one's nice.

430
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: That's nice that this is the taj Mahal of National

431
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: Football League facilities, and that matters to players, but specifically rookies.

432
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: So I'm to say no, it's not the like it

433
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: used to be a bear path in Eden Prairie. Okay,

434
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: maybe Olympic Hills. But the reason, the reason I'm stammering

435
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: a bit is because sadly I wouldn't know because as

436
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: of like four or five years ago, I no longer

437
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: hosted l It used to be a dinner and like

438
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: I'd say a few words and introduce some people. Ll

439
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: never O'Connell, never Quacy, but man from a nine to

440
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: noon standpoint with them knowing they can trust me and

441
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to overshare in the last place,

442
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with social media and share something. I mean,

443
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of kind of informative to see Shaq Thompson

444
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: and DeVante Parker arrive late and then Shaq Thompson just

445
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: look at his phone for about two minutes while Mark

446
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: Wilf was talking to him, and then me like tapping

447
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: him on the shoulder saying, you do know this is

451
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: of missed that, But I think I don't think it's

452
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: the big Valley Who dinner thing anymore. I didn't need

453
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: to bring up such a tough subject. That's fine, that's fine,

454

Speaker 5: think we might be might be doing that on Thursday.

463
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 5: Really more to come on that. I believe we'll see.

464
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 5: I'm in this is let's go to the talkback machine.

465
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 5: You offered up a couple you know who's gripping more

466
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 5: Wilder Wolves. Admittedly, the talkbacks have been very Kyler specific,

467
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 5: Kyler centric. On my talkback to a low f limsay

468
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 5: it's all good Talker Tuesday tomorrow. This is the warm

469
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 5: up to the Talker Tuesday. But one way or another,

470
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: people are hot on Kyler.

471
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 4: This is Mark from Phoenix, Arizona. I'm Mark live in Arizona,

472
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 4: Feeling Minnesota.

473
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

474
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 4: My main concern with Kyler Murray is that he hasn't

475
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: been able to stay on the field, so we basically

476
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 4: have two quarterbacks. They can't stay healthy and stay on

477
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: the field, Go Vikings.

478
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: Other than that, Miss Lincoln, how was the play? My

479
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: favorite thing?

480
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 5: And I don't want people to change this, But sometimes

481
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 5: when you say it, they think that I'm judging, that

482
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: I'm inviting them that it's negative. I love when the

483
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 5: talkbacks you can tell, like Vikings, you can get up

484
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 5: to thirty seconds, They'll get like twenty into it, yep,

485
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 5: and they're like, all right, I'm kind of kind of

486
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 5: all out of my take. That was easy. What should

487
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: I do here? It's still records goal Vikings, Go Vikings. Absolutely,

488
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 5: he just daggered Kyler Murray's health. It sounds like we

489
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 5: have two quarterbacks that can't play Go Vikings well.

490
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: With love it with Kyler Murray. Here here is a

491
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: key because until we know or hear and delicately and

492
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: fairly share what his tendencies are with certain things, then

493
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: it's a lot of it's hyperbole, a lot of it.

494
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: Most of it is speculation off what people have heard

495
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: or has been reported from somewhere else. Here's what I mean.

496
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: When Kyler gets nicked up, Because Kyler gets nicked up,

497
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: how does he handle it? Does he play through it?

498
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Is he the kind where he's three and a half

499
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: of ten hurt, but he makes it sound like it's

500
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: eight and a half out of ten simply because he

501
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: knows there's an opportunity to scoop chips and stand on

502
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: the sideline. I'm really, really really hoping that ain't him.

503
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: But until we start seeing how certain facets of the

504
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: under the rate. Okay, yes, he can run runs like

505
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: to win. We know that everybody knows that good arm accurate.

506
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: We all know that playing with the best left tackle

507
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: with whom he's ever played. Yes, playing with a one

508
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: in one a receiver situation that is maybe the best,

509
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: if not as good as he's ever had. Yes, we

510
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: know that this Flores defense really no matter the components,

511
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: But you got to have about a good three, four

512
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: or five key components in there, maybe the best with

513
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: which he's ever played, to protect him and compliment the offense.

514
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: All right, check we check that box. We we we

515
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: all in box checking fashion know that. But with Kyler Murray,

516
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: when he gets nicked up, when he gets banged up,

517
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: how does he handle it? Does he push through it?

518
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: Is he tough guy? Yeah? The the I mean as

519
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: as much as people you know either want to shove

520
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: it to the side or ignore it or say it

521
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: was a non player when a and as embarrassing and

522
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: stupid as it was when a National Football League team

523
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: actually puts in your contract something involving a video game

524
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: compared to film, study and work up to a game. Yeah,

525
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: mandatory prep each week? Thank you that? Yeah, honestly where

526
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: he had to like show his work or it was

527
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean it, Yeah, I don't have the verbage in

528
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: front of me, but effectively that's trying to find a

529
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: way to describe it, because I don't want to say

530
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: it's ludicrous and stupid. They put it in there because

531
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: clearly there were person or people so wound up knowing

532
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: what is or is not happening behind the scenes. They

533
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: actually put that in that man's contract, I mean, which

534
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: is as foolish as foolish gets an independent study clause.

535
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: There we go. But you know what, if it was

536
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: as bad as some may think it was, it contractually

537
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: needed to be agreed upon to make sure the first

538
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft, who was an offensive rookie

539
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: of the year, actually had that in his clause. So

540
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: was it them being completely stupid and bullying him, or

541
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: was there a study a lack of study habits, a

542
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: lack of preparation, a lack of time utilization were their problems.

543
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: There had to have been problems. We just may not

544
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: know exactly what they were.

545
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 5: You know, I do know that you know, from the

546
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 5: injury standpoint, when he gets nicked up, how does he

547
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 5: handle it?

548
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: That that's a fair question.

549
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 5: The only thing I'll say, and I'm not minimizing this

550
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 5: because this, if it continues to happen, would be a trend.

551
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 5: He tore his acl I mean, this wasn't This wasn't

552
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 5: a lingering, you know, high ankle sprain or something like that.

553
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 5: He ripped his knee up and so that missed what

554
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 5: the back half of twenty two and then the first

555
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 5: half of twenty three, and then he got a foot

556
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 5: injury lasture and he was gone for the season.

557
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: So there wasn't It doesn't sound like at least in

558
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: the in the framework of his career.

559
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 5: Now that now it's two of the last three years,

560
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 5: by the way, so that's potentially problematic. So anybody that's

561
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 5: you know, hey, health is a concern, I'm with you

562
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 5: one hundred percent. However, it doesn't feel like I mean

563
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 5: that the study habits one thing. But when he's able

564
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 5: to make the dances he make, he plays the games.

565
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: So I you know, the I don't want his need

566
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: to get torn up.

567
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 5: Let's you know, but but it seems like when he

568
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 5: gets hurt, it's hurt for size. Yes, sadly we've seen

569
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 5: that two of the last three years, of course, which

570
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 5: which bears concerned absolutely.

571
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: And until proven otherwise, the individual nobody knows facing certain

572
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: accusations that are are not born of being told by owner, general,

573
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: manager or head coach of a football team that's x

574
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: amount thousands of miles away. It's born of speculation. So

575
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: in the in the Love Covenant, in the Kyler Covenant,

576
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: the individal gets the benefit of the doubt until things

577
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: are proven out. The other way. Sure, in other words,

578
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: yeah he could play, but you know what, he's just

579
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: you go whatever, Oh, okay, you know, until things start

580
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: to emerge like like that never happened with Darnald. I

581
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: mean it's it's Donald. We all remember the the the

582
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: whole narrative from from the Jets to Carolina backup for

583
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: the Niners, the nine to noon of flip and take.

584
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: While people would go overboard on this is awful I

585
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 1: can't believe you're doing this. He's an absolute bust. Nine

586
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: to noon would flip it with like Fista fairness in

587
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald act. All right, yeah, he hasn't been very

588
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: good during the course of his career. But if you

589
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: think throwing to Robbie Anderson, if you think he's throwing

590
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: to Robbie Anderson and Tommy Tremble here with Matt Ruhle

591
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: calling the place holding up a college football placard with

592
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: Ronald McDonald, Adrian's Barbos post malone and and Nicole Kidman

593
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: in a bottom right box, and that's the play. That

594
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: ain't the case here. They do things a little differently here,

595
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: and so therefore he gets the benefit of the doubt there.

596
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: And when you're selected third overall you have you you

597
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: have things to your skill set that just may have

598
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: been suppressed. Yeah, and other And that's that's the exact

599
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: what I think. I'm not here's the reality guy. But

600
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: for my taste, that's what this is until other stuff

601
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: pops up during the course of the battle. And with

602
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: Sam when we went down to Jacksonville and he kept

603
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: throwing it to Jaguars and somehow the Vikings found a

604
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: way to win thanks to Parker Romo hitting like four

605
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: field goals. That was bad. Okay, well, hey, that happened

606
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: with the Chickens this year too. He had a patch

607
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: in there where it was bad man, and he pushed,

608
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: he and they pushed their way through it.

609
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 5: He threw three or four pick in that Rams game,

610
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 5: I think four, and they were still driving to potentially

611
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 5: win it at the end.

612
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,439
Speaker 1: Same same with same with uh with Sam Darnold here, Okay,

613
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: we have that Jacksonville bit, Well, how are you going

614
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: to push through it? Next game was that Tennessee. He

615
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: threw it directly to two Titans and they both dropped it. Okay,

616
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: So there's serendipity. That's part. That's that's that's a positive

617
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: transpiring from a negative.

618
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 5: And then he threw like five against the Falcons a

619
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: few weeks after that.

620
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: And but the key here for the Chickens and for

621
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings here in twenty twenty four, they fixed whatever

622
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: was wrong. It didn't linger. They found ways to win

623
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: a lot of games. That's the whole Kyler Murray conversation.

624
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: Until we start playing games, getting steam hearing things like wow,

625
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: he's super tough guy. That was a it's like, who

626
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: kept playing hurt last year? O'Neill, yeah, O'Neil, Yeah, Brian O'Neill. Yeah,

627
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: he was banged on most of the season. You talk

628
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: about caring about a team in a non playoff year,

629
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: Holy cow. I mean after duverne buzz killed things. That

630
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: was the bottom for my taste when it comes to

631
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: like deflating moments and you're gonna have to try to

632
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: rally and get to the postseason. I mean O'Neill. O'Neill

633
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: was banged up pretty much every single day a fair

634
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: amount of the end of the season. And there were

635
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: some of those times before games. I'd get down on

636
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: the field, you know, two and a half hours before

637
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: the game. Joined must two hours before the game on

638
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: the road. There's O'Neill working out, got offensive line coach

639
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: guy there, got Tyler Williams. They're all looking at it

640
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: because he had an opportunity to I'm tapping out and

641
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: never took it. Okay, there are players on this team

642
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: or players in the history of the NFL who I'm

643
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: tapping out. Hand up. Okay, who's Kyler? Because this is

644
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: a fair part of the conversation with Kyler. He's when

645
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: he's hurt. Is he injured? Yeah, you see what I'm saying.

646
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 5: No, I do, And I just think, based on what

647
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 5: we've seen from his career, I think that he does

648
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 5: not tap out if he's hurt. I mean in the

649
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 5: only two instances in which he's missed time has been

650
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 5: when he tore up his knee, okay, and when he

651
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 5: had a season ending foot injury.

652
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: But like I said in the opening segment, reading between

653
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: the lines, there's some Kyler confusion in my life. Oh yeah,

654
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people around the National Football League.

655
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean with everything that is glorifying or super

656
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: negative that I hear, I hear or am written. Well,

657
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: they're not always right, but there are lingering opinions from

658
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: those whose opinions matter to me. And I don't share names.

659
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: And I also don't take it to make it a

660
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: full segment where it's like, got to do a better

661
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: job pushing through something, okay, okay, But that that was there, right,

662
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: that culture, that covenant, that that whole thing there is

663
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: not what they preach, it is and will be here.

664
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: So that's why that's why the new individual, whether they

665
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: face the the slings and arrows of the outrageous negatives

666
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 1: who have a right to be sour in the first place.

667
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: It's it's his it. The onus is on him to

668
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 1: push through the negative narratives that's around him. Yes, same

669
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: thing with Sam Darnold. No opinion changes in the Covenant.

670
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Let's just play that. Welcome back nine to noon.

671
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 5: It is news denor it brought to you by the

672
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 5: casino at Canterbury Parkcanterburypark dot com. It's poker, it's blackjackets,

673
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 5: table games all year round and you're having SIPs at chips,

674
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 5: loving that, live music, all sorts of events, live racing

675
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 5: kicking off in the spring. There's a lot to do

676
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 5: down at Canterbury and shockupy. The first stop of course,

677
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 5: could be Canterbury Park over the weekend. We did this

678
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 5: during the weekend. Rap but you know what, an hour

679
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 5: and fifty minutes later, I guess it bears rementioning.

680
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: The Wolves won over the Dubs on Friday night.

681
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 5: Beat them by ten, twenty one point lead at half

682
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 5: Ant went for forty two dig that. But then the

683
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 5: marquee matchup of the weekend was yesterday against OKC and

684
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 5: they literally gave the ball and the game away.

685
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: So will cross court. Here's Tom Tate.

686
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 6: I just shoot, he's that the hash mark working against

687
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 6: Jared McKay who reached in knocked the ball free. It's

688
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 6: lou scooped up by Caruso thunder having on the run.

689
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 6: It's Wallace topping you back. Here's Sga driving layup is

690
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 6: good time out Chris Fitch. The wolves twenty first turnover

691
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 6: of the game as a costly one. They had a

692
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 6: chance to give it down to single digits. Instead, they're

693
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 6: down fourteen with under six to play.

694
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.

695
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: Twenty five turnovers yesterday for the Minnesota Timberwolves just outworked.

696
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 5: Whether it be the laceadaisical nature of controlling the ball,

697
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 5: they're out worked on the offensive glass. Jaden McDaniels gets

698
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 5: in foul trouble. He only plays sixteen minutes. Julius Randall

699
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 5: had a sweet game, thirty two points for him led

700
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 5: the way, but the turnovers really the story. The twenty

701
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 5: five turnovers and the twenty nine Oklahoma City points scored

702
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 5: off of those turnovers. So it was a nasty one

703
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 5: and the Minnesota Timberwolves with Phoenix around the corner in

704
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 5: just about seven days. Cool matchup and win over the Nuggets.

705
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 5: I think that was the previous Sunday, Saturday or Sunday.

706
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 5: You're in third place, you're feeling good about yourselves, and

707
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 5: then you proceed to lose your way to now being

708
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 5: in the sixth seed in the West. That's how close,

709
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 5: how muddy the Western Conference is. And next up the

710
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 5: Phoenix Suns, who are game and a half behind you.

711
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: They're in the play in.

712
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 5: I don't think the Suns want to be in the

713
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 5: play in and that's where the Wolves are headed if

714
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 5: they don't find some winning ways starting Minyana at Target Center.

715
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 5: Saint Patti's Day Edition Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns.

716
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: Anthony Edward has said a lot of things after a

717
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: lot of games, and I'm sure he has proclaimed or

718
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: shared a version of what he shared yesterday. After OKC

719
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: eyeballed the leader nearing the top of the stretch, the

720
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: jockey chirped, They shook the proverbial reins and blew bias

721
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: like we were tied to a post. Yeah, they didn't

722
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: even break a sweat. I mean it was just so

723
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: effortlessen and we unraveled after the game. Edward's paraphrasing, it

724
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: was it was pretty strong commentary. He blamed. He's like

725
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: put the whole thing on himself. He's like, I played

726
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 1: them so many times. I know the defense that's coming

727
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: at me. They never change it. I blew it. I

728
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: tried too hard to turn the ball over too much,

729
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: and from a defensive standpoint, I need to play better defense.

730
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: But he really got on himself hard for the the

731
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: They didn't do anything that's different. Okay, they're good, They're really,

732
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: really really good. I know what's coming. I blew it,

733
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: kept turning the ball over and that played in the

734
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: game going the other way. So that was some ten

735
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: of ten contrition from that superstar yesterday.

736
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 5: Doesn't it feel and an Aunt is accurate in that analysis,

737
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 5: I think, But going back to your conversation with Dane

738
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 5: Moore last week, doesn't it feel like you keep hearing that?

739
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, you just you just keep hearing about that.

740
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean, no, what you what you keep hearing was

741
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: is is slash was is we don't follow the game plan.

742
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: So it's like when we follow the plan, we're a

743
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: really really tough beat. Dee Vincenzo, he amplified it took

744
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: it farther than most have this year when he's like,

745
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: look around this room. There's an unbelievable amount of talent here,

746
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: but we don't follow the game plan. It's a it's

747
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: a it's an I versus Avie. It's a a Howl's

748
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: version of their will versus Finchy's will. Sure, but this

749
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: one was Anthony really really getting after himself. Yeah, and

750
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: and and and that's good. You see that, and you

751
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: hope there's a trickle down across.

752
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 5: I just meant, you know, defense is probably part of

753
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 5: the plan, and defense for ant in particular vary spots,

754
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 5: not just against the Thunder, has been subpar. Julius Randall

755
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 5: again weep The game he had yesterday was one of

756
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 5: his better games all season, and we hadn't seen that

757
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 5: in a while.

758
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: So you get the pulse.

759
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 5: But just again that that lack of consistency, and you

760
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 5: hear it from the guys that are lamenting after some

761
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 5: of these losses, like, yeah, that's a thing I know

762
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 5: that's coming.

763
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: That's a thing I know I have to do.

764
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then you're just kind of hoping for that

765
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 5: to change, whether it's following the game plan or defense

766
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 5: at large. We're running out of games here in the

767
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 5: regular season. Wolves are going to be a playoff team.

768
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,080
