- 1:30Speaker 2: that's what she does because she's got red hair.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Mos.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yeah, Bud.
- 1:37Speaker 5: Do you remember when Bill Hayter was on Saturday Night Live.
- 1:40Speaker 5: He had this character called Stefan that would be on
- 1:43Speaker 5: Weekend Update.
- 1:44Speaker 4: You know what I'm talking about? Yeah?
- 1:46Speaker 2: I remember, Yeah, I remember it, so I know hater obviously,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and I think always he the one that wore the
- 1:54Speaker 2: long tight yes, yes, yeah.
- 1:56Speaker 5: And he had this line he would say every time
- 1:58Speaker 5: that he was Stephan, he would say, this place has everything.
- 2:03Speaker 5: That game had a little bit of everything, fights, physicality,
- 2:08Speaker 5: broken glass, penalty shots, whatever you wanted.
- 2:13Speaker 4: Yes, this guy right here, Yeah I remember that guy.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Yet whatever you wanted out of your hockey game, you
- 2:18Speaker 5: kind of got last night.
- 2:19Speaker 4: But here's what I love, mos.
- 2:24Speaker 5: That game is I think once again built in a
- 2:29Speaker 5: way that the La Kings would design a game plan
- 2:33Speaker 5: to beat the Avs and it still didn't matter.
- 2:36Speaker 4: You still just found a way to do it.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, Brett that I think the
- 2:41Speaker 2: La Kings what DJ Smith is drawing up and would
- 2:45Speaker 2: they buy into that? That's exactly it. And they can't
- 2:50Speaker 2: do it any better than they've done it, better in
- 2:53Speaker 2: game two than they did in game number one, and
- 2:55Speaker 2: they still didn't win, you know what I mean. So
- 2:58Speaker 2: when they get home and now they have to win
- 3:00Speaker 2: four out of five games and against the Avs they're
- 3:04Speaker 2: four and twenty three in their last twenty seven, it's
- 3:08Speaker 2: gonna be difficult to do. And I'm trying to explain
- 3:12Speaker 2: to people how this goes down, like, oh my god,
- 3:13Speaker 2: they're just barely squeaking by the Los Angeles Kings and
- 3:17Speaker 2: I'm like, it's not don't look at it like that.
- 3:19Speaker 2: If you look at it from a bigger picture, Avalanche fans,
- 3:22Speaker 2: let me let me try to put it on you.
- 3:26Speaker 2: The Kings have played what they need to play, the
- 3:29Speaker 2: exact game they need to play twice and they've lost
- 3:32Speaker 2: both times. And this one was an overtime, no doubt
- 3:34Speaker 2: about it. But they've lost both times. And when you
- 3:38Speaker 2: go to La the Kings, the way the Ams are
- 3:40Speaker 2: playing defensively, they're structure, they're buying. The Kings aren't going
- 3:45Speaker 2: to win four to one. They're not gonna win five
- 3:48Speaker 2: to one. They can't. They can't do that. It's it
- 3:51Speaker 2: would be so abnormal as to be just completely over
- 3:56Speaker 2: here on the Bell curve, something really weird. So you've
- 4:00Speaker 2: got to figure that something's going to break a little bit.
- 4:04Speaker 2: And this is the kind of situation where then the
- 4:06Speaker 2: next game they try to open it up just a
- 4:08Speaker 2: tiny bit, they get burned. In game four, they're gonna
- 4:11Speaker 2: have to open it really up right, and then it's
- 4:14Speaker 2: just it's not it's gonna be tough for them.
- 4:18Speaker 5: How do you get to ninety points with twenty two
- 4:21Speaker 5: regulation wins?
- 4:22Speaker 4: On the air.
- 4:22Speaker 2: That that's exactly how I mean. That is their mL VIC.
- 4:26Speaker 2: You now look at it. They've played eighty four games
- 4:29Speaker 2: this year, okay, eighty four. Thirty four of those games
- 4:34Speaker 2: have gone to overtime, and and and another one almost
- 4:38Speaker 2: did the other night or the other day on Sunday, right,
- 4:41Speaker 2: I mean, that's what they do. They scrap you and
- 4:43Speaker 2: they push you to extra time. They set a new
- 4:48Speaker 2: NHL record for overtime games because they're not going to
- 4:52Speaker 2: blow you out, but they're gonna be stingy as hell
- 4:56Speaker 2: at your end of the earth, at their end of
- 4:57Speaker 2: the ice.
- 4:58Speaker 3: First off, great j last night I watched the game
- 5:03Speaker 3: on the Altitude app. And I'm not trying to say
- 5:06Speaker 3: this because it's our company.
- 5:09Speaker 4: I agree with you on ervic. Yeah, but the broadcast.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Was just superior, superb. The picture was better, the audio
- 5:17Speaker 3: was better, the production was better.
- 5:19Speaker 5: You guys vamping for eighteen and a half minutes, so
- 5:22Speaker 5: that delay was awesome.
- 5:23Speaker 3: I try to remain objective, and it's not a knock
- 5:28Speaker 3: on anybody else, but there was a day when a
- 5:32Speaker 3: national broadcast was superior to a local broadcast.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Those days are gone. Those days do not exist.
- 5:41Speaker 2: YEP.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Technologically, the local broadcast can do anything a national broadcast
- 5:48Speaker 3: can do, and they do it better. So great, great
- 5:52Speaker 3: show last night. You guys killed it. First of all,
- 5:55Speaker 3: regarding the game itself, I have one concer, and I'm
- 6:00Speaker 3: hoping you can assuage if LA a team of lesser
- 6:05Speaker 3: talent than some of the teams that remain, if they
- 6:09Speaker 3: can fashion a strategy to take everything out of a
- 6:12Speaker 3: game and make it come down to that, what's to
- 6:16Speaker 3: stop other teams that the Abs are going to face
- 6:18Speaker 3: from doing the same thing.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Because they don't because it's not there. It's not their
- 6:24Speaker 2: mo it's not there, it's not in their DNA to
- 6:27Speaker 2: do that. I mean, they can play defensively, stingy and
- 6:29Speaker 2: that sort of thing, but they also want to go
- 6:31Speaker 2: the other way hard and when you do, it's going
- 6:36Speaker 2: to open things up for the Avalanche as well. I mean,
- 6:39Speaker 2: it's just the commitment to just it's it's exactly right
- 6:43Speaker 2: the way the game is played. We called it last night,
- 6:46Speaker 2: and in fact that I brought in in Johnny, and
- 6:48Speaker 2: I said, Johnny, there was it was about two months
- 6:49Speaker 2: ago where it was the Abs and the Ducks, and
- 6:51Speaker 2: the Ducks had some injuries and all they did was
- 6:55Speaker 2: lobb the puck out of the zone, Lobb the puck
- 6:58Speaker 2: out of the zone. Lobb the puck out the zone,
- 7:00Speaker 2: and change right. I mean, if I've had a nickel
- 7:02Speaker 2: for every time an Avalanche defenseman is backing across his
- 7:06Speaker 2: own blue line and letting the puck roll to him
- 7:09Speaker 2: and then you know, starting up the other way, I'd
- 7:13Speaker 2: be a rich dude right now, because they you know,
- 7:16Speaker 2: they don't want to deal with that pressure, just want
- 7:17Speaker 2: to clear the zone, throw it out and try to
- 7:19Speaker 2: counter punch when they can. Both their goals in this
- 7:22Speaker 2: series have come on the power play. One was a
- 7:23Speaker 2: six on four and last night of five on four
- 7:26Speaker 2: on I guess that call was fine. I mean last
- 7:33Speaker 2: I didn't want to get into that. The officiating last
- 7:35Speaker 2: night till he was bizarre. I guess.
- 7:37Speaker 3: I guess that's why playoff hockey in the sport it
- 7:42Speaker 3: confuses me at times.
- 7:43Speaker 4: For this reason.
- 7:45Speaker 3: In basketball, for example, you can't just go into a
- 7:48Speaker 3: defensive shell and lob the ball out.
- 7:51Speaker 4: That's not the way the sport works. You'll get your
- 7:52Speaker 4: butt kicked. You still got to put the ball in
- 7:54Speaker 4: the basket.
- 7:55Speaker 2: There's no light.
- 7:57Speaker 3: You can't just sit back and play zone all day.
- 8:00Speaker 3: And can you imagine if a guy got a rebound,
- 8:01Speaker 3: if you got a rebound underneath his basket and he.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Just threw it across the court.
- 8:04Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
- 8:05Speaker 2: And Jamal retrieves at his own free throw line and
- 8:08Speaker 2: restarts restarts on the court.
- 8:09Speaker 3: I mean, that's what's frustrating sometimes about playoff hockey is
- 8:12Speaker 3: that you can have a team like this that that
- 8:15Speaker 3: plays a defensive shell game, and that team can win games,
- 8:19Speaker 3: and hell, teams like that can go all the way
- 8:21Speaker 3: to the Stanley Cup Final.
- 8:22Speaker 2: It's just sure, it's stupid.
- 8:24Speaker 4: Can I give you a reason to be encouraged by this?
- 8:26Speaker 4: So vecta, It's not, I'm not.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I'm just saying that is that that what what I
- 8:31Speaker 3: just explained, that's stupid?
- 8:33Speaker 4: But what what I'm let me put this another way?
- 8:36Speaker 5: You said, should we be a little bit concerned that
- 8:38Speaker 5: a team that's the the talent level of LA is
- 8:41Speaker 5: doing this?
- 8:42Speaker 4: What if the play better teams?
- 8:44Speaker 5: I think it's a credit to the Avs for not
- 8:47Speaker 5: being impatient with that style and trying to do too much. Sure,
- 8:53Speaker 5: like most they haven't given up outside of what I
- 8:57Speaker 5: guess the turnover from kal on the power play that
- 8:59Speaker 5: led to the penalty s How many times have we
- 9:01Speaker 5: seen odd man rushes going the other way?
- 9:03Speaker 2: I think they're actually staying very little.
- 9:05Speaker 5: They're staying really disciplined by not getting overly frustrated with
- 9:09Speaker 5: this game and just kind of taking what's coming to them.
- 9:12Speaker 2: You know what, They're there are very very There are
- 9:14Speaker 2: a couple, I mean I've seen it, but there are
- 9:16Speaker 2: very few blown assignments. Yeah, very very few. If the
- 9:21Speaker 2: Kings are getting a break at all toward your zone
- 9:23Speaker 2: or even in your zone, atterranet, whatever, it's because a
- 9:28Speaker 2: guy the puck took a funky bounce one to a
- 9:32Speaker 2: guy blew a wheel. You know that that sort of thing,
- 9:35Speaker 2: something unfortunate has happened. A good chance because the Avs
- 9:38Speaker 2: are committed to that side of the ice first, are
- 9:41Speaker 2: as much and that's what they and again they I
- 9:44Speaker 2: don't know if there's a team better in the league
- 9:46Speaker 2: that commits the defense first and then can play their
- 9:48Speaker 2: offense off of that. We'll talk to coach Bednar about
- 9:50Speaker 2: that coming up today at nine o'clock before we hit
- 9:53Speaker 2: the airport and hit the trip to LA So we'll
- 9:55Speaker 2: do all of that, but that's just the way the
- 9:58Speaker 2: Kings play. That's what the way they have to play now. Listen,
- 10:00Speaker 2: they've opened things up since Jim Hiller was fired on
- 10:03Speaker 2: March first and DJ Smith was hired as the interim
- 10:06Speaker 2: head coach. They have opened it up. They've scored more,
- 10:11Speaker 2: but they know what they're facing in this series against
- 10:13Speaker 2: the Avalanches. They they definitely know. And just because these
- 10:16Speaker 2: games have been tight and close and grindy grind grinders
- 10:19Speaker 2: and grind grind out kJ Granderson, just because they've been that, sorry,
- 10:24Speaker 2: it's right. Just because they've been that, it doesn't mean
- 10:28Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen people online. I thought this was
- 10:29Speaker 2: supposed to be an easy series. I thought the best
- 10:32Speaker 2: team in the league is supposed to take out the eighth.
- 10:34Speaker 2: It's not the way it works because the way the
- 10:36Speaker 2: game is designed knuckle chucks looking knuckle chucks. Man, you
- 10:40Speaker 2: know what, So this world is full of so many
- 10:44Speaker 2: just obnoxious knuckle chucks on this planet. It's sick of it.
- 10:47Speaker 4: For a year's moje.
- 10:48Speaker 5: I've heard from Avs fans that, yeah, the Avs are
- 10:51Speaker 5: really good and really talented, but gosh, I just don't
- 10:54Speaker 5: think they're physical enough. Like one thing that you saw
- 10:56Speaker 5: in these first couple of games. Hey, mos, if josh
- 10:59Speaker 5: Man is in the area code of Lawton, he's gonna
- 11:02Speaker 5: get lit up. That's just a given. Now I suppose,
- 11:05Speaker 5: oh I saw that altitude.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Use your tweet. Oh look at me on Pricaine, Look
- 11:10Speaker 2: at me flex my muffles on television every month, everybody,
- 11:16Speaker 2: look at me in my red hair.
- 11:19Speaker 4: You guys just need to have a better social media presence.
- 11:21Speaker 4: I think that's just.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Hey, I thought I thought it was I thought it
- 11:24Speaker 2: was pretty good. I mean, the train on the truck
- 11:27Speaker 2: is is pretty good. I mean two games in a row.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Lot's got lit up.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Most you're you're calling the game, so you have natural enthusiasm,
- 11:35Speaker 3: you're awake, you're sharp.
- 11:37Speaker 4: You don't need coffee.
- 11:39Speaker 3: But for those watching it home on those late starts,
- 11:42Speaker 3: I gotta get I gotta know.
- 11:43Speaker 2: I could jet ski in this.
- 11:45Speaker 3: I know I'm talking about last night, but for those
- 11:47Speaker 3: last night watching right, So, I had gotten four hours
- 11:50Speaker 3: sleep the night before, so I was already on one.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Trying to stay awake when you're at home during the
- 11:57Speaker 3: break between regulation and over time.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Oh oh wait a minute, that's where you're going.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying like those precious minutes. What is that
- 12:06Speaker 3: fifteen minutes most between the end of regulation and overtime?
- 12:09Speaker 2: What is that?
- 12:10Speaker 3: Well, no, it's a standard eighteen eighteen Okay, those eighteen minutes.
- 12:15Speaker 3: It was like a torture chamber where you haven't slept
- 12:18Speaker 3: in weeks and you have to keep your eyes open
- 12:20Speaker 3: and you're just like.
- 12:21Speaker 4: All right, come on, so Nick, listen to something here
- 12:24Speaker 4: and look.
- 12:24Speaker 5: I think what helped is you got the adrenaline pop
- 12:27Speaker 5: from Landiskog scoring so late in the third that it
- 12:29Speaker 5: held you offer. But I I thought you were going
- 12:32Speaker 5: somewhere else. I heard my wife rustling upstairs around nine
- 12:35Speaker 5: forty five ten o'clock, and I go upstairs and she's like,
- 12:40Speaker 5: what is it? Is it intermission? And they go, no,
- 12:45Speaker 5: I'm waiting twenty minutes for ice to g minor glass
- 12:47Speaker 5: to get cleaned up.
- 12:48Speaker 2: But we'll get into that later.
- 12:49Speaker 4: I've never seen anything like that.
- 12:51Speaker 5: And all I thought to myself when I saw that
- 12:53Speaker 5: glass break was, of course, of course, after one game
- 12:57Speaker 5: goes to midnight the night before this one is gonna
- 12:59Speaker 5: go to twelve thirty now.
- 13:01Speaker 3: And a glass breaks in the most unreal method I've
- 13:05Speaker 3: ever seen. Whatever that notwithstanding, you guys get it, did
- 13:09Speaker 3: a great job of vamping that.
- 13:11Speaker 4: The fact that you have.
- 13:13Speaker 3: To coerce your body to stay awake to watch a
- 13:17Speaker 3: playoff hockey game tells you all you need to know
- 13:20Speaker 3: about these schedules. So here's what I did. I don't
- 13:22Speaker 3: know about you, Kanner. So I sat through that intermission.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I mean, I said, come on, baby, come on. I
- 13:29Speaker 3: got through it, and I'm watching that overtime. Of course,
- 13:33Speaker 3: I fell asleep and I wake up. It's almost like
- 13:36Speaker 3: the human mind knows what's coming. I wake up literally
- 13:42Speaker 3: seconds before the winning goal. My eyes, well, I'm not.
- 13:45Speaker 4: You actually dropped.
- 13:47Speaker 2: I was no.
- 13:48Speaker 4: I was good when overtime.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Now the third I was good.
- 13:51Speaker 3: I missed the first what eight minutes of overtime? When
- 13:54Speaker 3: was that goal scored?
- 13:55Speaker 2: What? Mark? Yeah? Seven seventh something.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I missed the first seven minutes of overtime, but
- 14:02Speaker 3: my eyes cracked open as soon as the puck was
- 14:07Speaker 3: moved to the AV zone and scored. It's it was uncanny.
- 14:10Speaker 3: It was almost as if you were talking to me,
- 14:13Speaker 3: moj you Vic, wake up, Vic, watch this, Vic, watch this,
- 14:17Speaker 3: wa guy.
- 14:19Speaker 2: It was seven forty four of overtime, and you probably
- 14:21Speaker 2: woke up at seven thirty six.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm dead, sah you most you talked to me
- 14:27Speaker 3: last night spiritually, emotionally.
- 14:30Speaker 2: You you did that and I don't know how you
- 14:32Speaker 2: did that.
- 14:33Speaker 4: Telepathically, you got me.
- 14:35Speaker 2: It's it's the universe. I've told you this for years
- 14:38Speaker 2: and you've slough it off.
- 14:39Speaker 5: Brett tell him Wive, yes, a yeah, yeah, with the awe.
- 14:47Speaker 5: Can I get a you Okay, so a lot more
- 14:49Speaker 5: right down at the game. We'll do that in a
- 14:51Speaker 5: couple of minutes. We have Jared Bednar at nine o'clock
- 14:53Speaker 5: this morning talking about the game from last night.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Now heading to.
- 14:56Speaker 5: LA Also, TJ Ward will join us at nine. I
- 15:00Speaker 5: believe he's making the second round pick for the Broncos
- 15:03Speaker 5: on Friday.
- 15:04Speaker 4: He's gonna announce it.
- 15:05Speaker 5: And I know it's like, hey, tomorrow it's Avs and
- 15:08Speaker 5: Nuggets both playing at the same time, and we're gonna
- 15:10Speaker 5: be preoccupied and the Broncos don't have a first round pick.
- 15:13Speaker 5: I do want to spend at least a couple minutes today.
- 15:15Speaker 5: Later we do remember at Keith Khalib did say something
- 15:21Speaker 5: where he said maybe a big trade for the Broncos
- 15:23Speaker 5: happens during the draft. Maybe that's in store on tomorrow night.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Who knows. So a whole bunch of breakdown stick around
- 15:31Speaker 5: well more going.
- 15:31Speaker 4: Into Wedgwood forever young.
- 15:34Speaker 2: I love this.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Oldest goalies to earn a win in their first career
- 15:37Speaker 3: playoffs start.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Curtis mckle andy.
- 15:39Speaker 3: I remember him, les blinkly, I do some research on
- 15:43Speaker 3: him and then welcome to the party.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Scott Wegman.
- 15:46Speaker 3: It's really remarkable to think how good he's been this year,
- 15:49Speaker 3: to think that was his first Amber start.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Give you a little more research. It's brink Forlin Bikley. Yeah,
- 15:55Speaker 2: hey close, But did I say blank plea whatever? Basically
- 16:02Speaker 2: Blanklyn whatever? It takes right finger a dog. We're close.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Back to nineteen seventy post was ten.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Chered Bednor at nine o'clock this morning, so stay tuned
- 16:13Speaker 5: for that. When I say the game had everything, it
- 16:17Speaker 5: had everything, and I will say this motion before we
- 16:20Speaker 5: get to the glass incident. I do want to mention
- 16:24Speaker 5: one thing, and I think a huge, huge, huge, massive
- 16:28Speaker 5: gigantic reason why you are two to zero in this series.
- 16:32Speaker 5: And this is no disrespect to the great players that
- 16:36Speaker 5: are Darcy Kemper and Pavelo Franco's but my god is
- 16:40Speaker 5: Scott Wedgwood. It's been amazing recently.
- 16:43Speaker 2: You guys.
- 16:44Speaker 5: Put the graphic up is the last nine games that
- 16:48Speaker 5: he's played, he's averaging one goal allowed with like a
- 16:51Speaker 5: nine to sixty save percentage.
- 16:53Speaker 2: And for what the running's in right now, Britt is
- 16:56Speaker 2: pretty rarefied. Error.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's freaking Marty brodurol on, Well, this is going on.
- 17:01Speaker 5: You have you have the penalty shot, and in a
- 17:03Speaker 5: game like this, like we talked about this yesterday motion
- 17:06Speaker 5: after game one.
- 17:06Speaker 4: It's in a a.
- 17:09Speaker 5: A style of game like you've played in games one
- 17:12Speaker 5: and two versus the Kings, a single goal can just
- 17:15Speaker 5: turn the game on its ear and it can be
- 17:17Speaker 5: like you know what, you can start to panic if
- 17:19Speaker 5: you give one up.
- 17:21Speaker 4: And you have this power play, you're set up.
- 17:23Speaker 5: What was it like three power plays renegated by penalties
- 17:25Speaker 5: that you took in the middle of it. You you
- 17:28Speaker 5: got tail kind of mishandling the puck.
- 17:31Speaker 4: It leads to a breakaway.
- 17:33Speaker 5: He gets called for the penalty, which upon replay looked
- 17:37Speaker 5: like he made an amazing play.
- 17:39Speaker 4: You know, he just lifted the stick.
- 17:41Speaker 2: I can see whether you the official was on the
- 17:43Speaker 2: far side though, and he sees that. So he's on
- 17:46Speaker 2: the other side of the King's player, he sees that
- 17:49Speaker 2: stick come up and then and then of course Byfield
- 17:51Speaker 2: does one of these like yuh eh. And he never
- 17:56Speaker 2: touched his glove at all ever, but he gives it
- 17:58Speaker 2: the old wave like hey man, you know I would
- 18:01Speaker 2: do the same thing.
- 18:01Speaker 5: But bottom line is you need to save and him
- 18:05Speaker 5: just sprawling back to his left catching it off the glove,
- 18:08Speaker 5: keeping the game not at zero like he has been
- 18:12Speaker 5: remarkable in a series where you had to have a
- 18:15Speaker 5: goalie on your a game because you know what Forstburg's
- 18:17Speaker 5: been doing it on the other side too.
- 18:19Speaker 3: You know, even the Wedgewood from the regular season, you
- 18:22Speaker 3: could tell the playoffs how players just they look different.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Wedgwood looks faster, yes, he looks he looks crisper. I
- 18:30Speaker 3: mean everything about him is more aware. It's like he's
- 18:34Speaker 3: on eight cups of coffee out there. It's awes like it.
- 18:38Speaker 2: You know. I got home late, I went to bed late.
- 18:41Speaker 2: I did not have a chance to see if we
- 18:43Speaker 2: have when he's Scott Wedgwood sound from last night, I.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Didn't see any. I looked a lot of places I
- 18:47Speaker 4: didn't see wegging.
- 18:48Speaker 2: I heard a clip watching Roger in Spring last night,
- 18:54Speaker 2: and he makes a very good point. He's like, look,
- 18:56Speaker 2: you know, he's like, I'm just having fun playing hockey.
- 18:58Speaker 2: You know, it's he goes, I know what's at stake here,
- 19:01Speaker 2: but this is enjoyable to me. Guys. This is a
- 19:05Speaker 2: guy who for years toiled in the AHL. I mean,
- 19:08Speaker 2: this is a guy who you know, bounced up and
- 19:12Speaker 2: down at times between you know, I mean, he finally
- 19:15Speaker 2: made it to the end age let's call it twenty one,
- 19:17Speaker 2: twenty two, maybe even a year before that, but he
- 19:20Speaker 2: played with the Albany Devils, and he played in Ontario
- 19:25Speaker 2: and the Rochester and all this guy and he bounced
- 19:27Speaker 2: around a little bit, you know. And he's like, look,
- 19:30Speaker 2: I had to try to you talk about pressure. I
- 19:33Speaker 2: just trying to secure the job, just trying to you know,
- 19:35Speaker 2: be a goalie period, you know, and to keep a job.
- 19:39Speaker 2: He's like, I'm having fun doing this, and he really
- 19:41Speaker 2: is dialed in. He's playing great. And again I'm sure
- 19:44Speaker 2: that Mackenzie Blackwood will see the crease at some point,
- 19:47Speaker 2: right but right now, you know, you got to give
- 19:50Speaker 2: Wedgie all the credit in the world because he has
- 19:52Speaker 2: been flat out awesome, and it's it's it's it's a
- 19:57Speaker 2: joy to watch a guy at the age of thirty three.
- 19:59Speaker 2: You want to call it late bloom or late chance, whatever.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Remember Tim Thomas and the Boston Bruins. Man, this guy,
- 20:06Speaker 2: you know, he's eaten. He was eating reindeer on the
- 20:10Speaker 2: Arctic Circle in his late twenties. And he gets a
- 20:12Speaker 2: shot the NHL on he kicks butt Vic.
- 20:15Speaker 5: Do you remember the game was a couple of years
- 20:17Speaker 5: ago that we weren't down, We were in the ice deck.
- 20:20Speaker 4: Remember that little area that's on the glass. It was
- 20:23Speaker 4: amazing by the.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Way, Beer Moser, Beer Moser. She's like going back to
- 20:28Speaker 2: the ice deck. I'm like, well you can't anymore.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Yeah, She's like, we had the best you get with
- 20:32Speaker 5: twenty thousand dollars, right, yeah, right, whatever it is. Yeah,
- 20:38Speaker 5: it's a joke. I don't know how much those are,
- 20:39Speaker 5: but they're great.
- 20:40Speaker 2: See.
- 20:40Speaker 5: The point is, I've never been on the ice for
- 20:44Speaker 5: an NHL game with the glass right in front of me.
- 20:48Speaker 5: And I'll tell you this, if you witness your goalie
- 20:52Speaker 5: in a playoff game where it's zero zero and goals
- 20:54Speaker 5: are hard to come by, make a save on a
- 20:57Speaker 5: penalty shot to keep it at zero zero though, it
- 21:00Speaker 5: is your god given responsibility to hit the glass as hard.
- 21:05Speaker 4: As humanly possible.
- 21:07Speaker 5: And I remember when we were at the ice deck,
- 21:09Speaker 5: MOJ my wife she kicked it like she just hauled
- 21:14Speaker 5: off and kicked it once because they're an actioneer.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Wow.
- 21:18Speaker 5: I can't believe that snapped the way it did behind
- 21:22Speaker 5: the King's bench. And I've never had I don't know
- 21:24Speaker 5: if you guys have had this before. I've been around
- 21:26Speaker 5: you know, glass breaking. I've never had it like raining
- 21:30Speaker 5: on top of me though, like it did to DJ Smith.
- 21:32Speaker 5: That's gotta be like I got shards of glass that
- 21:35Speaker 5: went down my shirt collar. It's got to be like
- 21:37Speaker 5: tucked into my pants somewhere.
- 21:39Speaker 4: It's got to be miserable. But I've just never seen
- 21:41Speaker 4: that before.
- 21:43Speaker 2: I haven't either, not behind the bench. I've seen panes
- 21:46Speaker 2: of glass fall out. Sure, I've seen you know, glass
- 21:50Speaker 2: shattered all over the ice from you know, hits and parks,
- 21:54Speaker 2: have seen poksprey glass. I've never seen just you know,
- 21:57Speaker 2: fans pounding on it. And DJ Smith said after the
- 22:00Speaker 2: game that he that that one panel of glass actually
- 22:02Speaker 2: it hit him a couple of times. So it was
- 22:04Speaker 2: probably getting loose somehow because like the fans were on
- 22:07Speaker 2: it so much that he's standing back there and it's
- 22:09Speaker 2: kind of touching him right right, whatever it is, and
- 22:13Speaker 2: somebody found a weak point.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Now I don't nobody had a bild amber, right, you
- 22:17Speaker 5: know here what the coin it was?
- 22:19Speaker 3: You know somebody's wearing I mean, and it can be
- 22:21Speaker 3: this easy when it comes to breaking glass. Your ring
- 22:25Speaker 3: that hits a point on the glass, right.
- 22:27Speaker 2: That's that's like ballistic glass. That's the thick glass.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Bro Okay, here's what I want from now on. I
- 22:35Speaker 3: want I want all hockey arenas to put this in
- 22:37Speaker 3: the back of your mind. Okay, here's how we're gonna
- 22:39Speaker 3: do this. We're not doing a twenty three minute window
- 22:42Speaker 3: delay anymore.
- 22:42Speaker 4: That's gone.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Get that.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Just give helmets to all of those fans sitting in
- 22:48Speaker 3: those rows, hand them out and move on.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 22:51Speaker 3: I don't have time to fill I don't have time
- 22:54Speaker 3: to change glass.
- 22:55Speaker 4: I don't want to see all that.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Just assign helmets to all those people.
- 22:59Speaker 4: You bought the seats, you're right there.
- 23:02Speaker 3: You want to sit up close, tough, Just what comes
- 23:05Speaker 3: your way, learn how to dodge, duck and dive.
- 23:07Speaker 5: Just a whole bunch of rows of duct tape just
- 23:09Speaker 5: tied up against each other.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Just learn how to dodge, duck and dive. Get the
- 23:12Speaker 3: hell out of the way. We got a hockey game
- 23:14Speaker 3: to produce.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Let's go. What I want to do is you know
- 23:17Speaker 2: what you've ever been like a strip mall and somehow
- 23:21Speaker 2: somebody's window gets broken. What do they always do? Put
- 23:26Speaker 2: a piece of plywood in there?
- 23:27Speaker 4: Oh yeah, cardboards.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Just just stick a piece of ply would let's cut
- 23:33Speaker 2: a piece of ply wood. Let's go.
- 23:35Speaker 4: But here's what's crazy.
- 23:36Speaker 5: Most so that happens, and it didn't take away I
- 23:41Speaker 5: think the physicality of the game, but I do think
- 23:43Speaker 5: it took away a little bit of the chippiness, like
- 23:46Speaker 5: the barking back and forth on the benches, the sort
- 23:48Speaker 5: of face washing after every whistle like that. I felt
- 23:51Speaker 5: like kind of left. But here's what's crazy. You have
- 23:54Speaker 5: this pop of adrenaline where Scott Wedgwood makes this amazing
- 23:58Speaker 5: save and now you get to go back on your
- 23:59Speaker 5: power play with like a minute forty five left and
- 24:03Speaker 5: try and make something of it. And the second you
- 24:09Speaker 5: action back started, McKinnon gets called for a penalty and
- 24:12Speaker 5: you're back on a four on four.
- 24:13Speaker 4: You're just like, what in the world, man.
- 24:16Speaker 2: There was not there's not a human being on planet
- 24:20Speaker 2: Earth alive today, and that includes every Avalanche player, every coach, McKinnon,
- 24:26Speaker 2: Bednar who was more frustrated and thought that was a
- 24:31Speaker 2: bigger bunch of bunks than Mark Ryecroft. Yeah, I mean,
- 24:34Speaker 2: I know what he said on the air. You sure
- 24:36Speaker 2: have heard what he said when we were at the intermission.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Oh baby, players know, man, that's a it. Look he's
- 24:45Speaker 2: he's sliding on the inside. It's it's horse feathers. Whatever,
- 24:49Speaker 2: I mean, whatever, you you survived it. That was a
- 24:53Speaker 2: really funky situation. Well, you can't do those when you're
- 24:56Speaker 2: on the power play. You just don't do anything to
- 24:59Speaker 2: nick gate him. That's Schmozer. You only had, you only had,
- 25:03Speaker 2: by the way, two real power plays.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Yes, the you know, your your job is the one
- 25:09Speaker 3: of the toughest jobs on Earth.
- 25:11Speaker 4: I mean I put it up there with the spinal fusion.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Working at an oil rig.
- 25:18Speaker 3: It's up there being a lignsman, right danger, it's it's all,
- 25:21Speaker 3: it's all in the same category. So you know, Brett,
- 25:25Speaker 3: you've been up there, so I when you're watching an
- 25:27Speaker 3: Avalanche game from that far away, being able to follow
- 25:30Speaker 3: and trace the pockets unreal how Mark Moser does his job.
- 25:34Speaker 3: But that looked like a goal that we all saw
- 25:37Speaker 3: on television, hit the side of the net.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Who shot that again? Uh? It was a defensive.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Shot it and Parker Kelly got a p and you
- 25:50Speaker 3: called goal and the horn went off and everybody cheering
- 25:52Speaker 3: and everybody went crazy, and then obviously it wasn't a goal.
- 25:56Speaker 4: The question I have for you, what is your clue.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Because the bucket moves so fast and it's almost impossible
- 26:02Speaker 3: to tell where it goes. What is your clue to
- 26:05Speaker 3: call a goal even if you're not entirely sure it's
- 26:08Speaker 3: a goal if.
- 26:09Speaker 2: It could happen so fast. Yeah, it happened to Gold,
- 26:12Speaker 2: not goal like that to me? Like this, I called
- 26:14Speaker 2: goal because I saw Kelly. I saw his players. Yeah,
- 26:19Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. Players typically typically they know one
- 26:23Speaker 2: way or another right, And so he turns and he
- 26:27Speaker 2: goes and charges and hugs and the hug and then
- 26:30Speaker 2: I immediately I saw the referee and I saw Dowdy.
- 26:32Speaker 2: I'm like, doubt, he's not mad, he's showing that it's
- 26:35Speaker 2: not a goal. I'm like, this is no goal. So
- 26:37Speaker 2: I went from goal Parker Kelly got a piece that's
- 26:40Speaker 2: not a goal. I mean you go.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Maybe entirely on player reactions around the net.
- 26:47Speaker 2: That is correct.
- 26:48Speaker 4: What if the dude is like, what if they?
- 26:51Speaker 2: Which is why let's go back. Let's go back to
- 26:53Speaker 2: the cattery. Goalie got stuck. Yes in twenty twenty two,
- 26:57Speaker 2: Why do I have a halo around me? What's going
- 26:59Speaker 2: on here? Look at that? I'm angelic. You're angelic today. Yeah,
- 27:02Speaker 2: that's pretty amazing. Look at that. Oh oh, here's what
- 27:09Speaker 2: I here's what I did know. I don't know where
- 27:10Speaker 2: the puck went, Okay, but I I knew it wasn't
- 27:14Speaker 2: in the screen, and I knew that Vasilevski didn't have
- 27:16Speaker 2: it by there by the reaction. It didn't go into
- 27:20Speaker 2: the screen. It wasn't out. He did not.
- 27:23Speaker 3: No, No, we're talking about the game in Tampa.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I so I knew it had to be in the net.
- 27:29Speaker 2: It had to be. That's I knew Vasilevski didn't have it.
- 27:32Speaker 2: By his reaction, I knew it wasn't in the screen.
- 27:36Speaker 2: By this is instantaneous deduction. Vick, I'm like, that is
- 27:39Speaker 2: in the net. So that's in the net? Where is
- 27:41Speaker 2: it now? It was got stuck up above the top
- 27:45Speaker 2: of the net and the backbar.
- 27:49Speaker 5: There's You mentioned something earlier motion about the power play
- 27:53Speaker 5: and how you really had only like two really on
- 27:56Speaker 5: the game.
- 27:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I did.
- 27:58Speaker 5: Feel like the power play was decent. The second one
- 28:02Speaker 5: especially felt really good. It was like dangerous, just couldn't
- 28:05Speaker 5: find a way to finish.
- 28:07Speaker 4: I'm not too bent out of shape.
- 28:09Speaker 5: Some people texted in early in the show saying this
- 28:11Speaker 5: is gonna get us beat later in the postseason or
- 28:12Speaker 5: something like that.
- 28:13Speaker 4: Actually felt like it was pretty good.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Can I give you some more positivity? Yeah, let me
- 28:20Speaker 2: tell you what. Let me tell you where the trumpidation
- 28:22Speaker 2: lies with the Los Angeles Kings. Who scored your goal?
- 28:27Speaker 2: So far for the Avalanche?
- 28:29Speaker 3: Oh yeah, third and fourth liners have scored. Well, No
- 28:32Speaker 3: Lands scored last night. What am I talking about?
- 28:34Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 28:34Speaker 5: But he but he's been on the third line right
- 28:36Speaker 5: with Kea. Yeah, yeah, Nick Watt's been. Logan O'Connor was of.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Course like he like he's a top liner, but he
- 28:43Speaker 2: had it. Listen, McKinnon and Natus and mccarr. I mean
- 28:49Speaker 2: in terms of scoring, they hadn't got started. Let me
- 28:53Speaker 2: text yeah, and let me tell you that fact is
- 28:55Speaker 2: not lost on the La Kings. Yeah, realize that.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Well, Natus can only score if he actually shoot.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Stop right there, stop stop every everybody. Stop what you're doing.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Stop driving, Stop thinking when you give me a three
- 29:08Speaker 3: on one in a scoreless game and things are tight
- 29:12Speaker 3: and you're trying to do the extra pass. I love
- 29:16Speaker 3: Marty Nachos, but listen to me, Marty, if you're listening,
- 29:18Speaker 3: I know you stayed up to listen to the show
- 29:20Speaker 3: this morning.
- 29:21Speaker 4: You gotta shoot that puck, bro, you that extras.
- 29:26Speaker 5: I need somebody vic to grab Natures by a sweater,
- 29:29Speaker 5: hold him this close, no mis close, and just say this.
- 29:33Speaker 4: You're a goal scorer. Shoot the you have an amazing shot.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Shoot it.
- 29:40Speaker 5: He had a wide open not a wide open net mos,
- 29:42Speaker 5: but a wide open look, no.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Traffic in front. I didn't get in a tight game
- 29:48Speaker 4: like that.
- 29:49Speaker 2: How do you even come up with a three on
- 29:50Speaker 2: one that's like a three on one in the NBA
- 29:53Speaker 2: And you kick it out to a guy for a
- 29:54Speaker 2: three and he clangs it. You're like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no, yeah,
- 29:59Speaker 2: he I mean listen, he's got the ability to go
- 30:01Speaker 2: short side top shelf, no doubt about it. He's trying
- 30:03Speaker 2: to send it across. I dig what he's trying to do.
- 30:09Speaker 2: But this is about putting pucks on net. And look,
- 30:12Speaker 2: macarr was there to clean up if Forstburg makes the
- 30:17Speaker 2: same Mikey Anderson, I thought made a really good play,
- 30:19Speaker 2: but you also allowed him to make a good play
- 30:22Speaker 2: because rather than shoot, you're trying to find Landy.
- 30:26Speaker 5: Shoot the puck, Marty, You've got a good shot. You
- 30:31Speaker 5: score goals all the time.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Shoot it.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Nobody will understand what reference except me. I'm gonna say it.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Shoot the moon, Shoot the moon, Shoot the moon, Shoot
- 30:45Speaker 2: the moon.
- 30:47Speaker 4: Uh So again, the Avs take a two tonight.

- 31:56Speaker 3: four hours sleep, just go home and get back in
- 31:58Speaker 3: bed and forget about it.

- 32:52Speaker 5: Burdo is doing the Nuggets and Raj is doing the
- 32:55Speaker 5: Avalanche broadcast.
- 32:57Speaker 2: He will host it on site the network broadcast tonight.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Oh everybody won't come on? All right? Go ahead?
- 33:08Speaker 4: You measure did to me yesterday, Vic.
- 33:11Speaker 5: So he showed me the the intro to the broadcast
- 33:14Speaker 5: yesterday and I watched it. It was good and I said, yeah,
- 33:19Speaker 5: it's good, and then he got mad at me, and
- 33:22Speaker 5: I don't know what I think.
- 33:23Speaker 2: That tease was good?
- 33:24Speaker 5: What I said it was good, and I just straight
- 33:27Speaker 5: up one grade A a hole if you didn't think
- 33:30Speaker 5: it was great, Lee Blair did it, it's awesome.
- 33:33Speaker 4: This is this is my problem.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Vic.
- 33:35Speaker 5: I don't know what he wants me to say. He
- 33:37Speaker 5: wants me to compliment him, but I don't like to
- 33:39Speaker 5: take my shirt off.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Not me, Lee Blair. Blair wrote the whole thing. What
- 33:44Speaker 2: are you? Editors who put it all together?
- 33:46Speaker 5: Said I said it was really good, and then you
- 33:48Speaker 5: were like, that's not that's not.
- 33:50Speaker 2: What you said. You go, it's good. Do you see that?
- 33:55Speaker 2: Do you see the difference involved in that? Do you
- 33:57Speaker 2: see it?
- 33:58Speaker 1: Uh?
- 33:58Speaker 4: Can I mention this?
- 34:00Speaker 5: We'll get back to the Arabs in a bit nine o'clock.
- 34:05Speaker 4: Jared ben NAR's gonna join us.
- 34:07Speaker 5: So you look around the NHL in the NBA playoffs.
- 34:12Speaker 5: So last night Tampa they win to tie their series
- 34:16Speaker 5: one to one against Montreal, so that one's back to even.
- 34:21Speaker 5: Boston goes to Buffalo and beats them four to two.
- 34:23Speaker 5: That series is now even. Utah in Vegas wins three
- 34:28Speaker 5: to two. That series now even. But here's what's crazier
- 34:33Speaker 5: to me. Go to the NBA for a moment, the
- 34:38Speaker 5: Boston Celtics get worked by a in beatless Philadelphia seventy
- 34:43Speaker 5: six ers team because they shot twelve of fifty from
- 34:46Speaker 5: three last night.
- 34:47Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
- 34:49Speaker 3: So psychologically, I need to ask the Nuggets fans a question,
- 34:52Speaker 3: because this is how it works for me.
- 34:53Speaker 2: This is like therapy when you're.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Watching other teams at home, favorite teams, top seeded teams.
- 34:59Speaker 4: Yes, it helped to win, Yes, it helps.
- 35:01Speaker 3: And they lose to lesser teams in these game twos,
- 35:04Speaker 3: these important game twos, and they cannot secure that home
- 35:08Speaker 3: court the way they'd hoped. Does it make you feel
- 35:10Speaker 3: better about the Nuggets lost in Minnesota.
- 35:12Speaker 2: The other night?
- 35:12Speaker 4: Yes it does, it does.
- 35:14Speaker 2: Minnesota's a Minnesota's a higher quality team than Philly too. Yeah,
- 35:18Speaker 2: that's that's one thing, But a higher quality team than Portland.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Been hanging on a second, San Antonio, did you see
- 35:25Speaker 2: Wemby's Did you see Wemby's face?
- 35:27Speaker 4: So you ounce off the wood in just one second?
- 35:29Speaker 4: One second?
- 35:30Speaker 5: Because those other two games were the ones that surprised
- 35:33Speaker 5: the hell out of me. Forty one year old Lebron
- 35:35Speaker 5: has now carried the Lakers two wins against the Houston
- 35:38Speaker 5: Rockets by the way Durant played last night, forty one
- 35:41Speaker 5: minutes Lebron put up twenty eight. I don't know if
- 35:43Speaker 5: you saw his reverse stunk that he had last night.
- 35:46Speaker 5: And I know we don't like Lebron around here. It's
- 35:49Speaker 5: a marvel that a forty one year old is still
- 35:51Speaker 5: doing this stuff and he's carried them to a two
- 35:54Speaker 5: to zero series lead.
- 35:56Speaker 4: And if they get past this, maybe.
- 35:57Speaker 5: They get Luca and Austin Reeves back in the second round,
- 36:00Speaker 5: and who knows what happens from there. But what Vic
- 36:03Speaker 5: just mentioned and now he pulled this back up, so
- 36:07Speaker 5: I got a four year old. And you guys, remember
- 36:09Speaker 5: when your kids first learning to walk, it almost feels
- 36:12Speaker 5: like their head is half their body weight. And when
- 36:14Speaker 5: they first walk, it's like they're about to topple over
- 36:16Speaker 5: and fall on their forehead.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Right.
- 36:19Speaker 5: I don't think I've seen somebody fall to the ground
- 36:23Speaker 5: and smack their head harder on the court than what
- 36:25Speaker 5: Wemmy did last night. And and when you're seven foot
- 36:28Speaker 5: six or whatever he is, that's a long way to fall.
- 36:32Speaker 5: He leaves leaves the game with a concussion that allows
- 36:35Speaker 5: Portland to tie the series.
- 36:37Speaker 4: At one to one with who knows if he's going
- 36:40Speaker 4: to be.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Available in game three, but even without wimby the fact
- 36:43Speaker 3: that they fell apart in the quarter the way they did.
- 36:46Speaker 4: So I want you, guys, what is this the the realty?
- 36:49Speaker 2: Oh?
- 36:49Speaker 4: This is the slow moo oh. That's hard to watch, bro,
- 36:52Speaker 4: that's hard to watch. I mean his face just so.
- 36:54Speaker 5: Watch this next angle how hard his head hits the floor,
- 36:59Speaker 5: because it's unbelievable.
- 37:02Speaker 3: You know what this looks like? Oh my gosh, you
- 37:04Speaker 3: know what this looks like. And I hate I'm not
- 37:05Speaker 3: trying to be I'm not trying to be sly or
- 37:09Speaker 3: funny about this, but when I see that, I'm envisioning
- 37:12Speaker 3: like a fifty degree wedge hitting a green with some backspin.
- 37:17Speaker 2: That's what his head looks like.
- 37:19Speaker 5: Wenby is so big. I can't even get his full
- 37:21Speaker 5: body in frame. I have to like exit my frame
- 37:24Speaker 5: to get make sure he's in here.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I was vic, I was thinking, it's more like this.
- 37:28Speaker 2: Let's say you're about forty yards out right and you're
- 37:31Speaker 2: you have a tight, tight lie but you say, you
- 37:34Speaker 2: know what, I can do this, and you grab your
- 37:35Speaker 2: sixty and then what do you what do you do
- 37:39Speaker 2: with your sixty to.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Get bladed or or what, or you bury it or
- 37:45Speaker 3: buried right into mother earth, you bury.
- 37:48Speaker 2: It behind the ball and yeah, cloak it. I mean
- 37:51Speaker 2: that's his head was buried in the pace.
- 37:54Speaker 5: So here's the thing though, when he gets up, I
- 37:59Speaker 5: don't know if you guys he had the baby deer
- 38:02Speaker 5: legs going on like there was obviously he had something
- 38:06Speaker 5: upstairs that was concussium related. And I don't know, vic
- 38:09Speaker 5: what the protocol is in the NBA. How many days
- 38:11Speaker 5: you gotta wait, if there's a mandatory thing, if you
- 38:14Speaker 5: just got to pass the test.
- 38:15Speaker 4: I have no idea.
- 38:16Speaker 5: But the second he left that game, you're right, San
- 38:19Speaker 5: Antonio fell apart. And I know Portland's not great, but
- 38:27Speaker 5: Ody is a pretty good player. Like they can if
- 38:30Speaker 5: he's out of the lineup for another game, they can
- 38:33Speaker 5: make that series really interesting.
- 38:35Speaker 4: They can.
- 38:36Speaker 2: You know, I've been in this business for thirty four years,
- 38:40Speaker 2: maybe a little longer, something like that done. I can't
- 38:44Speaker 2: even tell you how many radio shows have done in
- 38:46Speaker 2: my life, thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands.
- 38:51Speaker 2: And if I use the word balls, like you know what.
- 38:55Speaker 2: The Jym locker room has a lot of storage in
- 38:58Speaker 2: the storage areas, a lot of balls in there. I'll
- 39:01Speaker 2: break Okay, now that's that's totally fine. But if I say,
- 39:06Speaker 2: and I don't even know the answer to this, so
- 39:08Speaker 2: I guess I better tread lightly, where do the Boston
- 39:12Speaker 2: Celtics get the cole Jones.
- 39:18Speaker 4: To shoot fifty threes?
- 39:19Speaker 2: And again to take fifty threes in a freaking basketball team?
- 39:23Speaker 2: That dude, I know, I know, but I hate their guts. Okay,
- 39:27Speaker 2: I hate I hate I hate their guts. I mean
- 39:32Speaker 2: if you if you went to nineteen eighty eight even
- 39:36Speaker 2: and you showed that game to NBA players, they go,
- 39:40Speaker 2: what the blank am I looking at? Listening?
- 39:42Speaker 4: That's what they listen to? This for a second, how
- 39:44Speaker 4: do you how do.
- 39:45Speaker 2: You take fifty threes in a game and make thirteen
- 39:48Speaker 2: a bunch of losers, a bunch of gut You know
- 39:50Speaker 2: what they all are? VICI what they are? VICI, youth?
- 39:52Speaker 2: This is probably you. So if it's you, I don't
- 39:55Speaker 2: want to I don't want to blast you. I apologize,
- 39:58Speaker 2: But you're at the gym in that one K do
- 39:59Speaker 2: your guns? He just guns from all over, just gun
- 40:03Speaker 2: gun gun gun, gun gun gun gun. He going to
- 40:06Speaker 2: get his playing, not playing hoops, just gunning it from
- 40:10Speaker 2: thirty feet. What a joke.
- 40:11Speaker 4: Let me let me let me give you guys something
- 40:13Speaker 4: from that game yesterday. Here's boss joke. Okay.
- 40:15Speaker 5: Jalen Brown had thirty six points, thirty six, Jason Tatum
- 40:21Speaker 5: had nineteen. I'm gonna give you the points for everybody
- 40:25Speaker 5: else who played for the Boston Celtics last night. Six
- 40:29Speaker 5: eight eight nine two four zero five zero zero.
- 40:35Speaker 4: Nobody else was in double digits.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Junk, no one.
- 40:39Speaker 4: It's it's pretty difficult to do. Think about it.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Just junk.
- 40:45Speaker 4: But yeah, it's a gross style of play.
- 40:47Speaker 2: The who's the big fella big guy for Boston? Yeah,
- 40:53Speaker 2: short hair?
- 40:54Speaker 4: Oh Tita is that his name?
- 40:56Speaker 2: No? Lusovic Lucovich? Yeah, okay, fellas, why are you shooting three?
- 41:05Speaker 2: Big man?
- 41:05Speaker 4: Can you allow me this?
- 41:07Speaker 3: Because listen, Lebron James is a hot button topic on
- 41:11Speaker 3: a lot of different sports radio shows.
- 41:13Speaker 2: You're like, get nailed by the cake.
- 41:15Speaker 4: We've talked about it.
- 41:16Speaker 3: You know, you could say what you want about Lebron James,
- 41:19Speaker 3: but allow me this a man of that age, of
- 41:23Speaker 3: that elderly status. It's he is halfway to eighty, more
- 41:27Speaker 3: than halfway to eighty. I want you to think how
- 41:30Speaker 3: many forty one year olds are driving around right now
- 41:33Speaker 3: listening to this show. Did you happen to watch any
- 41:37Speaker 3: of that game last night? And some of the dunks?
- 41:40Speaker 4: It's unrail.
- 41:42Speaker 3: He has Lebron James at the age of forty one,
- 41:45Speaker 3: a half elderly person, has the Houston Rockets down to nothing,
- 41:50Speaker 3: simply because he is able at his tender plight his age,
- 41:55Speaker 3: he is able to will the Lakers to consecutive victories
- 41:59Speaker 3: in the.
- 41:59Speaker 5: Player I've always said this, and it's not the Sparkle
- 42:04Speaker 5: discussion about it, but I do think when you're talking
- 42:08Speaker 5: about the stupid Jordan Lebron debates that people have, if
- 42:13Speaker 5: you don't factor in that at forty one years old,
- 42:15Speaker 5: he's still putting up twenty eight points a night in
- 42:17Speaker 5: a playoff game, then you're insane.
- 42:19Speaker 4: Like it's it is.
- 42:21Speaker 5: I think the most incredible athletic feet.
- 42:25Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like it. And you know what,
- 42:27Speaker 3: Houston tried. Everybody on them. They put muscle on them,
- 42:29Speaker 3: they put bigs, they put smalls, and nobody could handle them.
- 42:32Speaker 3: Nobody can handle he did everything. He just dominated the
- 42:35Speaker 3: game at every angle.
- 42:38Speaker 2: I hate to interrupt your lebron love fest.
- 42:40Speaker 3: Okay, see that's the reaction, see Caterer, I'm with you,
- 42:44Speaker 3: that's the reaction because people are rolling their eyes and
- 42:47Speaker 3: saying no, no, no, you don't stop your hatred, stop rolling
- 42:51Speaker 3: your eyes. You may not like him for whatever reason,
- 42:54Speaker 3: and this goes for everybody listening. I don't care what
- 42:57Speaker 3: you think of him. I'm talking about the leticism.
- 43:00Speaker 4: At that age, most you should know better. You're an old,
- 43:04Speaker 4: brittle man, and don't sit there and just be old.
- 43:07Speaker 3: Most you're the slowest healing, brittle haired man.
- 43:10Speaker 4: I've ever you are.
- 43:12Speaker 3: You should sit there and wonder aloud how that's possible, Vivic.
- 43:16Speaker 2: That may be, that may be true, But I'm not
- 43:19Speaker 2: gonna get on Denver airwaves and stroke him. I can
- 43:22Speaker 2: promise you.
- 43:22Speaker 4: That most it's amazing what he's.
- 43:25Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't I don't care. I don't care.
- 43:29Speaker 4: Which athlete do I hate?
- 43:30Speaker 2: Glaz' going off from the mountain.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Now you ain't find Michael, shut me off, Nelly, shut
- 43:37Speaker 3: me us telling you to shut him off?
- 43:39Speaker 2: Shut him off, shut him off?
- 43:41Speaker 5: Vic, just quickly, what athlete do I hate more than
- 43:44Speaker 5: anybody else? Aaron Rodgers and I am willing to say
- 43:50Speaker 5: because I'm being fair, even though I hate this guy,
- 43:53Speaker 5: he's probably the most talented quarterback I've ever seen.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Unbelievable feat of athleticism out of a forty one year
- 43:59Speaker 3: old old man.
- 44:00Speaker 4: That's what we're saying. That's what we're acknowledging.
- 44:02Speaker 3: Moser, get over your smarmy self and acknowledge greatness when
- 44:08Speaker 3: you see it.
- 44:09Speaker 2: Yes back, you know what this is like. It's like beats.
- 44:14Speaker 2: That's the earth. Super food provides all these different nutrients,
- 44:19Speaker 2: takes care of your body. But I don't like beats.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Don't stuff beats down my friggin throat. I ain't gonna
- 44:25Speaker 2: eat them. Okay, I ain't doing it, and you're not
- 44:28Speaker 2: gonna shut me off. And I'm not gonna glaze Lebron
- 44:31Speaker 2: As great as he is, I know he's been remarkable,
- 44:33Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna use up my valuable Denver airtime
- 44:36Speaker 2: to glaze a guy that I don't like. End up
- 44:39Speaker 2: story that script you got, Oh my god. And by
- 44:46Speaker 2: the way, number two VIC news flash for you. The
- 44:50Speaker 2: Rockets suck. Okay, they suck. Oh they tried everybody on him?
- 44:55Speaker 2: Who Tom Dick and Harry.
- 44:57Speaker 5: Uh the reason why this Carlan Hardy, Laurel and Hardy
- 45:02Speaker 5: couldn't guard Lebron.
- 45:05Speaker 2: What a miracle.
- 45:06Speaker 5: Here's the Here's why I think this does matter to
- 45:09Speaker 5: people here in Denver by the way Lebron going up
- 45:13Speaker 5: and helping his team go up to nothing on a
- 45:16Speaker 5: Houston Rockets team.
- 45:18Speaker 4: That who do they face in the next round if
- 45:20Speaker 4: they move.
- 45:20Speaker 2: On Oklahoma City, okay see, who's.
- 45:22Speaker 5: Got a better chance of taking down the thunder the Lakers,
- 45:24Speaker 5: especially if they hit Luca and Nauson Reeves back or
- 45:26Speaker 5: the Houston Rockets, which one. That's why it matters to me.
- 45:31Speaker 5: I don't want to move on for that reason. I want,
- 45:33Speaker 5: okay See to try and get beat up a little bit.
- 45:35Speaker 4: Houston is such a bad team.
- 45:37Speaker 3: You know, it's tough doing sports talk with you sometimes
- 45:39Speaker 3: most because you get your little personality and differences in
- 45:43Speaker 3: the way of just talking sports. It happens with so
- 45:45Speaker 3: many different topics, arnatto. I mean, just just talk sports
- 45:51Speaker 3: and quit being.
- 45:51Speaker 2: A pack I'm old. I'm brittle, Yeah, brittle here. Sorry, Yeah,
- 45:57Speaker 2: I'm a slow healer and got no sleep. I got
- 46:01Speaker 2: no sleep last night, so that should tell you.
