• 1:56
  Speaker 2: dear Canada, you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Look in our presidential montage that we have every time
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the US is won, and now wins the gold grabbing.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Bill Pullman's speech from Independence Day super good. I think
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: our best fictional president we've ever had is Bill Pulman.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: He was pretty dang good. Plus he was a fighter pilot. Right,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: we're going to survive, We're going to live on today.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: He's in the Burdens Day. I just what a great speech.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Uh you know what, I really liked that movie.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's a big dumb flick that you just
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you tune on and you have a good thought.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I thought Will Smith was awesome. I thought the Randy
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Quaid was awesome. I mean not, Bill Pullman was great.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: There's things in that movie.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Though, knocking out an alien with a punch and dragging
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: him across the desert and him still being knocked out
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: probably not realistic. Here's the problem. He also played Ali.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, So what I'm trying to tell you is Will Smith.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: He's got he packs a punchtcha. All Right?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: What a day, dude, What a day?
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: No vic today, He's gonna be out for the next
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: couple of days. I gotta tell you, Emos, I don't
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: know the last time I've had that emotion, which was
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: literally jumping up and down in my house when he scored, Like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know the last time that was. Somebody tweeted
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: at me and said the Aaron Gordon tip dunk to
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: win the game, and I I didn't know that the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Nuggets won. I didn't think it was gonna count, so
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: that I can't think of the last time that happened.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I was so shocked. And I'll say this off the rip,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: moje uh. As cool as it is that the US won,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: everybody talks about three on three hockey deciding a game
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: like that stinks, and I would agree, it's the only
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: way you were winning that game. They were not gonna
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: do it. I'm so the shot came from. I just
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: can't believe Canada didn't end it already with the amount
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: of opportunities that they had the talent on that roster.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: It was one of the most shocking victories I've seen.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt and I'm looking at
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the US team and by the way, I heard you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on the way in.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I heard the Appetizer hour and I heard you talking
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with you with what that It was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: there for Canada to take, oh my period, end of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: story a taser.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Again, I'm not going to fold him.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Hella Buck made an unbelievable paddle.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Save McKinnon missing the net is just never seen it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: That's going to that's going to fry him for four
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: years or longer.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Did you hear it?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It would fry me for four years longer. It would
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: fry me for the rest of my life if I'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that great of a player.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Did you hear the Krkman tweet that I read out?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Just like Kreikman said after the game, I was howling,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: laughing just because we know Nate and look, I feel
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: bad for him. I really do love Nathan McKinnon led
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: at the US one, but sucks that I had to
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: come at the expense of him in that play. Merekman said,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sure Nathan McKinnon will take this all in stride,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: shrug it off and just be grateful for the experience. Yeah, yeah, no,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: did you see how he stared at that little stuffed animally.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the stuffed rat in a little
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: bit here. Okay, I'll get to that, which I don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: know whose broad idea that was, but let me let
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: me save all of that for the future. Places In
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: terms of the actual hockey. During the second period, I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: sat there and I looked at the TV and I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: looked and I looked, and I'm really looking hard. Do
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the US players have legs or were they all amputated
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in the first intermission? And I'm looking and I'm looking
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: at like they, Yeah, yeah, they have legs. Why are
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: they not using their legs to actually leg? Why are
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they not skating? Why are they not doing anything? They
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: were getting the team? USA was getting absolutely railroaded by
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Canada for.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Two straight periods one hundred percent. They most it didn't
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: feel like they had possession of the puck forty minutes percent.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And I'm looking and I'm going, okay, you have you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have you seen the US roster though, I mean, we're
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: talking about Canada. Have you seen the US roster. Supposedly
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they've got superstars. Austin Matthews.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Didn't really see it in the game. God was friggin invisible. Well,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: he had the opportunity. It was at the first period
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: where he had the cross eye pass. He was all
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: kind of by his lonesome and he tried to extra
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: pass it instead of shoot. I'm like, you're a goal scorer,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: shoot the puck.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: If Austin Matthews is the guy for a guy who
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: scored sixty, If you're in front of the opposing team's
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: net by yourself, it's just.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: You and the versus the goalie, shoot the puck. Yeah, exactly.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Uh listen, I mean everybody did stuff. I guess, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the Ka Chucks and the Hugheses. I mean, look, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: thought Ichel was a superstar.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I do too. Eigle was great, Okay, I mean there's
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: one superstar of the team.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I've seen Tags Thompson at six foot seven dissect the Avalanche.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are all incredibly good players. They were
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: absolutely steamrolled. They couldn't do anything.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: There's one guy, one guy that was the best player
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: on the ice and looked like the best player in
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the world of hockey, Hellabuck, who has a reputation for
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: shrinking when the games matter the most. That was the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: sort of like all time performance where you put that
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: up against anybody in any sort of Olympic competition, Hellabuck
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: has to be mentioned for like best game ever played
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: for their country. You know what I mean.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And this is why again, if you're talking about a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: seven game series, Canada is going to win that series period,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: end of.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Stadium five, baby and five.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: But for that one damn game, which is why again
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to reiterate to Avalanche fans out there, man,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you wanted to get to a game seven. By the way,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: everything Nathan McKinnon said in the postgame I completely agree
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: with I did too.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't think it sounded like, well, it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: kind of sour grapes. But he told the truth. Which
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: team was better? It was clearly Canada.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Nathan McKinnon has never played in the Olympics before. Maybe
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in fact, most of these guys never have.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Cross what had been what twenty twelve, right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Crosby has other than that twenty fourteen Crosby and Dowdy,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that's it okay, and Crosby obviously didn't play in the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: gold medal game. Yeah, if I had lost the gold
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: medal in my first Olympics when you're quote supposed to win,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'd be a little bit salty too.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Let me leave me. Let me put it this way,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. There is a time for salt. That
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is the time for salt. Other times maybe no time
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: for salt. Maybe I mean to be this be that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I would be the exact same way.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: That's human, that's a natural human reaction. And you just
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: lost the gold friggin metal for your country when yeah,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you were the better team, but that's not the way
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the game works some time.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: And him in particular missing the open net, I'm sure
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: it was all he thinks about it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And then he's on the ice, of course for the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: game winning goal and so on, and it's just again,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in three on three hockey, what I wanted it decided
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: like that. Now it's the only way the USA was
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: gonna win. I would prefer five on five. But one
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: little poke that's it, or one the puck ricochets off
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of this, hits that and then it goes the other
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: way the people, Why do they have suck so bad?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: In ot?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say there's a trend, but it's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not the same thing all the time. It's weird crap
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: that happens. Oh I'm sorry. Did it hit the divider
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: between two pins of glass and ricochet straight back over
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: dude's head for a two on one?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I mean these kind of things. Let me tell you something,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: no motion as I love McKennon and I love macarr
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and it's the same problem that the Avs deal with
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: with three on three. You weren't not playing them, they're
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: too good. But was I surprised that that game ended
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: with Canada losing those two being on the ice at
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the same time. No, I've seen that happen repeatedly over
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years. And here's what's funny. I've
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: always thought it's because they're so good and so they
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: get they're so confident and they get so aggressive that
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: they can leave the other guys on the ice in
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: some bad spots. And I found out Connor McDavid does
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the exact same thing. Who was on the ice with them.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: It's almost like they're going to weave in between traffic
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: and end the game themselves and then they get caught
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: if it doesn't work. You know, like the US and
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of other teams in the NHL when they
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: have three on three, it's a lot of like we're
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: all gonna move together. And it's like if McDavid or
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: McKennon gets this the puck on their stick, they're just going.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, perhaps you should have put Horvat, Wilson and Sanheim
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: out there. You're Canada, No most I get it, but
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you can't believe by the way, you can't believe the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: amount of hand ring. You know what Canadians are doing
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: now right this second, going over the roster and trying
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to reconstruct the roster. And I'm like, well, they were
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: five and zero going to the gold medal game. They
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: were the better team by a mile, and they got
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: goalid and now you want to.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Reconstruct the roster to want to find more what are
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you looking for?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: People just cracked me up. Man.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: There was a power play they had that I was
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: really thinking about this, like, I don't think this has
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: ever been seen in the history of hockey. McDavid, McKinnon,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: car and Celebrini, who's nineteen year old. McDavid and McKinnon
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: now are all on the ice at the same time.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It's gotta be the greatest assemblage of talent in the
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: history of that sport. It's got like, is there any
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: question by the way, that five on three It wasn't
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: like that five on three was crap.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I know, it was pretty damn good. And you know
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: who was better? Hella Buck, Yeah, what's better? And then again,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that's the difference between getting scored in a five on
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: three then now they still get the five on four
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and maybe they bury two. The difference is the puck
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: bounces and it slides right to like an American guy
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to clear it. You know what I mean, You're like, oh,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: thank the Lord, I mean the US. When you watch
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: back to that power play, go back and look at it,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: they were pretty fortunate as.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Well, dude, even and that's the way it goes. That's
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the way it goes, even with I think we can
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: all do this right now. If I dub it the save,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: we all know what the save is now, right, the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: paddle save, the paddle save. Even that, the amount of
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: luck that had to be in there where you caught
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: just enough of the puck where it squirts this close
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to the post, going directly sideways, it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Comes back behind you and scorts by the post.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: That behind you behind him. I mean, unbelievable. I think
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: that that could go down as, given the circumstance in situation,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest saves in hockey history, Like could be.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, Mos, I'm so blown away that everything
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: lined up exactly to what the US needed to win,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: because I'm watching the last two periods and I'm like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I'm texting t Willie. Troy's texted me and he's like, uh,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the US just doesn't look good. I'm like, they're not
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: nearly as good as the team there playing.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, Dad, you know what, you got a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: real good eye for hockey play. You got a real
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: good eye for the game.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: But as it was going to tea, he said, like,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I hate three on three hockey. I go, you shouldn't
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: right now. It's the only shot. It's their best shot.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: By the way, mccarr's goal was sick, was it not? Yes,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: it was pretty sick goal.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the best shot you got is getting to overtime.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness. Isn't it weird? Though? Mos? That the the
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: worst things that happened for Canada in that game. All
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: had AVS players in the thick of it. It was
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Taves and I get it. It's a great save, but
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: it's like you get a wide open net, can't bury it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: McKinnon wide open net, misses off the side on the ice.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: At the end of the game when you give up
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: the goal, mccarr gets it poked around him and then
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: McKinnon's the one that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: On on the flip side. The only goal you scored
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: was mccar unders. Was mccar from Taves. Yeah yeah, I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: mean the the aves figured into the only goal that
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Canada scored period.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So if it wasn't for those guys and they lose
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: in regulation, I mean, look, it just was Uh was
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: everybody awake, Nelly? Were you awake or were you sleeping?
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: We saw not.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I set my alarm. I got up for it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I was a five forty five. I've got a black
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and Decker coffee pot. Yeah, I mean not one of these. Oh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it's a an espresso any glass Sea and George Cruey.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I don't have that crown out there. Yeah. It takes
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: eighteen minutes to make a cup of coffee.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: This big I got a glass pot and on the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: front of the coffee maker it is black and decker.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they make power tools. That's my coffee pot. Mine
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: is literally called I think it's mister Coffee.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was Joe Demaggio, by the way, mister Coffee anyway.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So I but the best thing about the coffee pot
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: is I can I can program it to like start

  Speaker 3: It's pretty amazing how quickly if you get just a
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: little bit of an adrenaline spike, like the Boldi goal
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: early in that game. How wake you feel at six
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: twenty five in the morning.

• 16:29
  Speaker 1: bit hard, right, bit hard. I mean, it's only that's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the only place that Baldy was going to score that goal,

• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you that's just come on, fellow stuff apologizing

• 16:52
  Speaker 1: shirt today.

• 17:00
  Speaker 3: those guys on the ice and right and their best moments.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: And by the way, guys, we've been getting some questions

• 17:08
  Speaker 5: put it. Would you say on what you wanted me
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: to throw the sponsor the Safeway Twitch stream?

  Speaker 3: He is red, white and blue. Yeah, she is a flag.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I know, but I'm just not feeling it for that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: For some reason, my emotions are not running.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I think the end of the show, the last segment
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: of the show will blow up. Gary.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see if we we'll see if we feel
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: it all right, Okay, well.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to feel it because I had most it
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: hasn't happened. Now. I got a whole bunch of Canadians
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: texting into the show. You're kidding the appetizer very upset
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: with me for I guess being some chauvinistic American. You
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: know what, why like would you say to make him?
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Make him think that, oh that we were classless winners
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that, And I'm like, you.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Know what, day watching last thing before we get to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: our first.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: If I just if Canada beat the US in Olympic
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: basketball and you were feeding every piece of maple syrup
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: dripped sarcasm my way, I would totally understand it. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: am taking every shot I can at Canada today. It's
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: sports hate. It's fine. But the the game that we
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: are least good at out of the sports we play here,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: I want to say it's pretty safe.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: We're Team USA was like second favorite to win the gold.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, they went into the tournament pretty damn pretty damn.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: High.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of expectation. But we're talking about football. Who
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: better based football?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're better at hoops than we are hockey baseball.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I guess is up in the air. I mean WBC
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: is coming up. We'll find out.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: But it isn't like it isn't like you know, the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: USA soccer team won the Olympics.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: It's not no, no, it's not that, but it but
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: for Canada, if it's the equivalent of the US losing
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: in basketball, they win gold or nothing like you failed, right, correct,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and we took it from him. Yeah, for the next
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: four years.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: So, by the way, did you see that that apparently
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: college football fans found Canadian hockey fans on the old
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: X machine and it got pretty ugly.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it did. Like is that is it just it?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Does Canada not know about sports trash?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I don't is that what it is? I don't think
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they can. I don't think that their lack of experience shows.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Have you guys ever seen see fan talks to an
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: a Raska fan. Let's let's put it that way. Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Uh three oh three, five oh four, O nine two
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: five shop mos de text line A lot to get to,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: including the Nuggets, who I am very very concerned. I
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: already was with late game situations, but last I was
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: gonna say last night yesterday exposed something that has me
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: even more.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: We got a problem here. I guess I need to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: learn more about my flooded friends new Like somebody says
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the sound we're using for a bald eagles actually a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: redtail hawk.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Well, I, I mean, I don't know if it's exactly
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: a redtail hawk, but I will tell you this.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Most I've heard actual bald eagles before.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: They don't sound like the screeching eagles sound effect that
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: everybody that's cool. They just sound kind of lame. They
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: just sound like birds. So but but but the illusion
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: kind of needs I like it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just going to accept that's what they sound.
• 20:49

• 20:52
  Speaker 5: like America.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a bald eagle in person, dude?
• 20:55

  Speaker 3: like get in front, like in front of you.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're huge, dude.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: There's one unbroken golf course every single year that literally
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: it will be ten feet away from gigantic.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: They're huge.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: They also like it's that par five that wraps around
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: the pond that released skinny par five and broke on
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: the left hand side. They move that up when it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: nesting time.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I remember that to poor three.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: They're like, you are not getting anywhere near that true.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Isn't that where you smoke that goose on that hole? Yes?
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: It was, it was, Yes, it was all right. Back
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: after this.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Five seconds left to go in San Francisco and there
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: is the horn. Now gonna finish the road trip one
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: and two they fall tonight or today. I'm sorry to
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: the Golden State Warriors one twenty eight to one seventeen.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Despite a monster triple double by Nikola Jokic thirty five
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: twenty and twelve, Denver loses to the Warriors one twenty
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: eight to one seventeen with no Curry, no Green and
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: no poor zingis all.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Right, We're gonna be bouncing around a lot hockey, basketball,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: everything else. Uh so we'll get back to the hockey
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: in a second. Mos. I've said and maintained pretty much
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: this whole year, outside of the obvious stuff, which is injuries,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: which every team has to worry about, like what concerns you?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: And for the abs, it's been simple. Vic has been
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: very much on the train of like home record and
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, it's concerning not as concerning as inability
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: to finish games. And I'll put it to you this way.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Do I think injuries have a they're a factor in
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: why things aren't going well late? Yes, but it's not
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the main concern at all. You just had a game
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: yesterday in which it was tied one o nine to
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: one oh nine with six minutes left. At that point,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: moj income, nicolea Jokic income, Jamal Murray income, Christian Brown,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: your starters re entered the game with six minutes left,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: eyed at one oh nine, and within two minutes you're
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: down ten and the game's over against a team that
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't have Steph Curry, Draymond Green or Chris STAPs Porzingis
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: the Hell's is going on there? What is that? I
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: have absolutely no idea what.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I sat there and watched the final well, I mean
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I watched the game, but the final six minutes of
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that basketball game were incomprehensible to me. I mean that
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: was you know what that was? That was like a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five Ugo. And for you kids out there,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: google what a Yugo is? Maybe the worst car ever
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: built by humans? Would you agree with that? I got
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the etzel had that no The Utzel was actually a
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: quality card, just wasn't popular. People didn't like the look
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: of it. That sort of thing that was called a lemon,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: nobody wanted it. It wasn't a bad car, just given.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You just gave people something they didn't want.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I got you. The Yugo was a piece of crap.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Driving down the road to all four wheels, just.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Go pew, shoot off right hood, comes up, doors open,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and that was the Nuggets. That was the Denver Nuggets.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: With six minutes to go, I don't know what happened,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: but that Brandon guy, what's his.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Name, pod Jemski.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy, he makes back to bat, he makes
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: it three, then a two, and now you're down by five.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And from that point on, dude, I thought it's over.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: At that point, I thought it's over. Like everything fell apart.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: You had something called pod Jemski. And I know he's
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a decent player. But Gie Santos, Yeah, gee, fifty five
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: year old Al Horford. That's the group that was lighting
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: you up late.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And I think Al's actually seventy and he was six
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: of seven from three point range.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Did you know that? Well, he started the game, he
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: hit like final right away.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: It's it's absolutely insane. But here's the here's the bigger problem.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You've got your two all stars on the floor and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they go on a twenty to two run on you.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Twenty to two. Yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: And here's nugget, fans, what should concern you the most?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And I again, I want to talk to Vic about
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: this when he gets back. But here's what should concern
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you the most. This used to be a close out team,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: how they're built, and now they are the exact opposite.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: They have no confidence.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: This used to be a finish team, finish games, and now, dude,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: they are lucky.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: To be able to finish games, absolutely zero confidence when
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: the game matters most. And here's what I don't know.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is a player thing. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: don't know if this is a coaches thing. Because as
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: much as I think Adamman has been excellent in his
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: time here, like to take a team that was missing
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: forced charters for a month and keep them at the
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: number three seed in the West, he.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Is essentially not only a float but but yeah, top three, Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: is an incredible sort of check mark in the plus
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: column of your coaching acumen.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, their closeout stuff hasn't, has
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: never looked worse. And what's really weirding me out is
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: it's happening with your best players. They were better at
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: closing games out before your guys got healthy. Let me
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: give you an example. So what does that mean?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let me give you an example. So Pods p
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Jemski Jemski. It doesn't look like that, by the way,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: it does not. I I hear Marlo saying it, but
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: then I see his name like the two just don't.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: It's like Smith spelled k I kf j I l L.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Do you remember do you remember here's a here's a
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: great uh obscure not obscure player, but okay, baseball player
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: name Scott Pisednic. Scotty was a burner man. He could
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: run yep, Scottie Pods Gotti Pods.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: So Padjemski makes a three. Okay, now you're it's one
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: twelve to one oh nine.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: You remember what happened on that Nuggets possession?
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Al Horford stole it from Nikolajokis, he turned it over
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: did Yoker, and then hob Ziemski pod Demis Jemski makes it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Scottis paseddic Pasednic has a little floating jump shot to
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: make it a five point lead. And this is where
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I think, Okay, the game's over. To seal the deal.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The next possession for the Nuggets, bringing it up the floor.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Do you remember what happened?
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Christian Brown threw it away and you're like turning the
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: ball overs.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Are You're this is your the best player on the planet,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: having how old's l whatever he is, steal it from you.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: And then Brown, another starter, throws it away, and then
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Melton makes the bucket a little layup. Now you're down
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: seven and the game is way over at that point.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And then that's where the confidence is completely shot. There's
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: no hope whatsoever.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Done and done, just one thing, A quick aside. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: couldn't help myself. I looked up Scott Pisednik's stats usually
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: had seventy stolen bases in two thousand and four. You're
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: kidding me, seventy? Wow? And how about this last thing?
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: And I'll move on. Two thousand and five, he finished
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: twelfth in the MVP vote with no home runs in
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: the air, not a single homer. Twelfth an MVP.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to value our listening audience and everybody
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: on twitch and YouTube and everywhere else. We will never
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: say the name Scott Pisidnick.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Oh no, that's in the bank.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Now the Scotty Pocess it's two. Pasednik is now officially.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Off this program. No, and now every time I see Pajemski,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of thing is pastnic Yeah, but that's why
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: But no, but this is a so what in Nicola
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: do we have Nicolaia post game? Yep, Okay, this is
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Nuggets fans. This is where it gets important to really
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: put your listening ears on.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: I mean, definitely a concern because we are losing the games.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: You know, we are losing the games and we are
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: not creating both of looks, you know. So that's that's
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: something that's been intertained and hopefully we need to Okay,
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: but I don't know what it is, but we need
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: to figure it out.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: So we aren't closing games and we aren't getting open
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: lor what's the first thing he said? Yes, I'm concerned.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, yes, I'm the best player on the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: planet for a team that we thought, Okay, this is
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the best team they've had since they won the championship,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and maybe even deeper. This team's ready to go this
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: particular team dealing with injuries throughout the year, no doubt
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: about it. But here we are in late February and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: he's concerned. Well, hell yeah, and that makes me concerned.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: And that's real. This is not like you know, lip service,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: try to get the guys going or whatever. This is
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: real concern. It's a real problem.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Well, Adaman said this post game. I don't disagree with
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: what he's saying, but that's not the main takeaway I have.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: Here's what he said, really poor execution throughout the start
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: of the fourth. But the bottom line is this, this
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: game came down to the.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Start of the game.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: We were not ready to play.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: This has been a tough weekend for us with the
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: game time, the back to back and all that. But
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: that has nothing to do with your approach to the game.
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: And we gave them confidence early. Their energy surpassed ours,
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: they played harder, and then to your point, we had
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: to work so hard to get back into it. They
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: had more energy than we did at the end of
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: the game. That's the bottom line. Your approach to these
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: games has to be different. Wasn't good enough tonight? Those
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: one of those losses during the season where you're gonna
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: look back and really wish we had a different approach
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: to start the game.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: All of that is true, he said. And I understand
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: why he's saying this much. You just came off a
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: game in what you won by fifty four points against Portland.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Like we were asking, when's the last time the Nuggets
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: blew a team out and then they won by fifty
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: four or he's saying in a game and I'm translating here,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: in a game where your opponent doesn't have Steph Curry,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Draymond Green or porzingis active, you need to blow that
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: team out, and you do that by playing better earlier.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: And I don't disagree, like that's certainly a part of it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I think like the problem, I'll tell you the difference
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: between Portland and Golden State. Portland Jokicic was looking to
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: score in the first quarter. Golden State he was looking
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: to pass. He had six assists in the first like
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: six minutes of the game. Jokic needs to go out
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: with the mentality I gotta score quick, just to let
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: them know I can do this all night if I
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: want to. Sure, I heard you talking in the appetizer
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: hour about that. He's but he's I think he's got
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: to be way more aggressive in the scoring department early
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: in games. Why do you think that is? Because I
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: think it sets a tone. I really do like your
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: stars in it. He's he's getting buckets and you know
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the assists are gonna come, you know they're gonna be there,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: that you're gonna get guys involved. But I think it's
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: almost like a show of force, of like, if I
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: want to do this for the next four quarters, I can,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: and maybe then you start forcing double teams to come
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: his way. You get guys open on the outside and
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: you can go from there. But he did that in Portland.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: He looked to pass first against Golden State. But again,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: most it's it's a game in which they don't have
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: their stars. You're the best player on the floor by far,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: show it just show it early, okay. But when Adaman
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: talks about that, I'm like, I get it. I'm not
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: going to ignore the end of the game, though, because
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: even though the should it have been close late probably not,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: but it was, and then you were terrible.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: That's way more let's back let's back it up to
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the first quarter. But I don't necessarily disagree with you.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I don't in fact your mentality. I like, hey, man,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: show a force.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: We'll get the best player on the planet.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Have him out of out of the first six positions
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: down the floor, have him take four shots. Excuse me,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: have him take four shots, maybe make three, maybe make four? Right,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: just say like yeah, look like like like Matt Damon
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to Teddy KGB. Look, I could sit here and bust
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: you up all night if you wil me too.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, I dig what you're saying. But it doesn't always
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: have to be that way. And yesterday it didn't have
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to be that way. It didn't have to be that way. Again, Brett,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the third quarter. How good were they in
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the third quarter?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Oh? In the game yesterday? Yea great?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: So what we really need to focus on? And I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: dig what David Adelman's saying, you know, got to have
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a better start and whatnot. The fact of the matter
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is in the third quarter, late in the third quarter,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: you have total control of that game. It's your game, yep.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: The question is what happens between the third and the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: fourth where you just lose everything and lay down. That's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: where the real question is. And it is it hunger
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: is it drive? Is it lack of focus? Is it
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: lack of hustle?
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Is it, hey man, we simply cannot play d or
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: won't play? Or is it?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: It's probably a little bit of a potpourrie. It's a
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: little bit of all of that sprinkled in that creates
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: what we saw. Well, I think that they got to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: get back down to basics. Get down to basics, man, basics.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Don't when a guy comes down, when Pud pud Jemsky,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: when Scotty passentic it comes down and makes a three
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: on you, and it's a three point game, don't uh,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: don't get stripped by Al Horford. Yeah, it's just and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: then okay, so then Pajemski comes down and makes a floater.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Now you're down five, okay, but there's still five minutes
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and twenty seconds to go. Don't throw the ball away. Yeah,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I mean this is a basic crap.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Now basic. I got a comparison I want to make
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: between the Abs and the Nuggets and some issues that
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: they're facing.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And we'll do that at eight o'clock and want to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: get back there. And incidentally, the fact that Aaron Gordon
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: is out and and Watson is out, that fact is
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: not lost your two best defenders that that fact is
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: not lost on me.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: What I'm trying to tell you, but the Warriors were
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: trotting out their G League lineup.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: They it shouldn't have mattered at all yesterday, zero matter. Yeah,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: those guys could have been on the Moon mining for
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: for Moon Rocks. It doesn't matter. You should have won
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the game yesterday.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Period. So there's a comparison I want to make in
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: just a minute, we'll do that at eight o'clock. Get
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: back to US Hockey on the other side.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Can I get well, Can I get to my stuffed animals?
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we can get to that. I can listen
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: to us anywhere on the Altitude Sports radio app. It's
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: powered by the will Height Law Firm injury Lawyer's gold
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: will Hepewinds dot com. It's will Hepewinds dot com.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Again, we're gonna be basted around US Hockey, the Nuggets,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: a whole bunch of different stuff. I gotta tell you
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: the US and how they won. And mog I mentioned
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: this on on Twitter that I understand because I went
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: out and I actually counted. I counted one by one,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: and when the US was supposed to be called for
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: too many men on the ice. I counted it, and
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: there were fifty five Americans that were on the ice
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: at that at least, So should that have been called
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Absolutely it should have. Also, if any Canadian this morning
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: is talking about that as opposed to missing wide open
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: nets or not converting on a five on three for
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: a minute and a half with the best players in
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: the world, or anything else, they're putting their time and
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: energy in the wrong places.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: What's great about today is that it's not yesterday.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this much. How far down Canada's
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: roster would you go before you would place an American
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: as far as best players on both rosters?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Uh, That's that's a pretty trick question.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Because the best on America is probably Matthews.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Austin Matthews, Yeah, probably, but.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: He's not better than McDavid no, or McKinnon no, or
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: mccarr no, or Celebrini with how he's playing right now,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: how about.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Maclin Celebriny's Olympic games play well, Yeah, you know, when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the Sharks were here right before the break, I was
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: just so excited to watch him play again.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Peterman, the late great Peter mcnabiny. What we used to
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: do after.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Games, flying from you know, Vancouver to Winnipeg or Carolina
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: to you know, Tampa, whatever it may be, we would
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: talk on the plane a lot and we would go over, Okay,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: if you could pick one player from that other team's
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: roster right now, you know from tonight's game, who would
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: We played these little games, right, but we would also
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: play the game of Okay, who would you pay to
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: go watch play the game of hockey? And for McNab
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: for the longest time, it was two guys. It was
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Matthews and it was Patrick Kane. Sure, he loved Austin
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Matthews shot and he loved to watch Patrick Kane when
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: he was young play the game of hockey. Just the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: way he's slippery all over the ice. Yeah, really good.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Maclin Celebriny is one of those guys now where you've
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: got to buy a ticket to go watch him play
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the game because he's that exciting and good real Yeah,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: he really is. And you think about it too. It's
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: not just that you get the number one pick in
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the draft. It's when you get the number one pick in.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: The draft, yep.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Because I think Connor Bdard's going to be a really
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: good player.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: This kid is special, like his ability, Like he looked
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: like the best player in the ice at times. He
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: really did. For a for a game that featured guys
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: like McDavid and McKinnon, he looked like the best of times.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: He's just so quick. Got a shot off late in
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: that game yesterday in traffic blew my mind.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: So here's what I wanted to say, though we all know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: like the the highlight plays of that game and how
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: much they've just been over and over again played on
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: a loop. It's the Hallibuck save, it's the McKinnon miss,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: it's the huge goal, it's the Boldy goals. It's all
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: the stuff that we've been talking about already today, there's
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: one play that didn't get enough attention, and Nelly, I
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: just DMD, you can we just throw this behind us
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: for a second.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: This one has somehow fallen by the wayside, because I
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: think the game was so good that I haven't seen
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: this played on like highlights or anything. When I see this,
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Charlie McAvoy standing in the center of the net to
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: where that puck went when Hellibuck was a little out
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: of it, he was on the goal line.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we never saw we never saw a
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: replay of that from overhead or from the side or
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: that I ever saw. I don't remember ever seeing because
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself, are we sure that puck didn't
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: cross the goal line?
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: So I'm watching this and I'm like, how is this
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: not also on every highlight reel of him just well.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Because it was it was floating into the net. Yeah,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: he knocked it out of there with his left glove, right.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, if that play doesn't happen, you're losing the game,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Watch it's right here, it's
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: up in the hip, catch it, throw it down, Like
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: that's an unbelievable play that I don't see on these
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: highlight reels though.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: No, And it was so so close, dude, that was
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: really close to going in.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was fluttering. Who was it? It
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: was Wilson banged.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: It off the pad of Hella Buck. It was butterflying
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: to an open net and McAvoy goes behind Hella Buck
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: and knocks it out with his left arm, left wrist,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: left glove.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, the only one that the US had that
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: was like that is when they had the uh they
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: said it was a double donker. It wasn't It was
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: the deflect, the single doing Yeah, the deflection is deflection.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Then Donkin then out.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, listen, man, I can show
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: you on one hand the amount of dangerous chances or
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: even terrific shifts the US had in the second and
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: third periods combined. Yeah, they just weren't dangerous at all.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: No, they just h I hate to keep referencing Twitter,
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: but it was a good day for Twitter yesterday, real
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: good day. It was like midway through the third period
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: and I just said this thing because I just watched
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: The Green Mile recently, and I said, this is hellibuck,
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: and it's Michael Clark Duncan when he just goes.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I'm tired, boss.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: It had to be a hellibuck. Felt like, can you
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: just for thirty seconds, give me a break, Like, just
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: keep possession for thirty seconds. So I'm not constantly on to.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: A couple of things that were really cool about the post.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: You know, Johnny Gudreau's family is there watching Team USA
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and they have a gudrou USA jersey, and it was
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: it was Larkin and somebody else, I forget who the
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: other person. They go to the stands and they get
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: his two kids, and they bring him to the team
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: photo and they put his jersey out in front. I mean, that's, dude,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: that's pretty special. Say what, I don't even I don't
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: know what.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: You want to say to Ico is tearing up a bit,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: and I totally would understand why, Well who wasn't.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, say what you will, dude, that is a
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that is a really classy move, and it's it's a
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: it's a special it's a special thing because they realized
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: how much he meant to USA hockey.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Hell, he grew up playing with all those guys.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Essentially he was he's older than a lot of those guys,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Johnny Hockey, but he grew up playing with a lot
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: of those guys, right, and they came up after him,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: but playing you know USA stuff. Yeah, And so to
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: have that foresight and you could see when they were
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: standing in line, it's Larkin and Ka Chuck and they're
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: going like this. They're like they're like pointing, like, you know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: get the kids ready, right, because we're coming to get them.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: It was so cool.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was really that's it. That's like and
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: it's not here's the thing, it's not planned, it's not
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: fake it's not photo op stuff. It's none of that crap.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: It's all genuine. It's genuine, real stuff. For a team
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: that is missing one of its you know, best players,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: and missing a guy that they all loved, it's it
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: was just a really I mean, you talk about good hearted,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: good natured, loving team gesture.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: It was great. You know. I wonder in that case
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: when you talk about bringing the kids out and that
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: sort of thing. So the rule is coaches don't get metals, right, correct,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: And that's insanely stupid. So why wouldn't they are they
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: not part of the team?
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Well then who gets who? I mean, does everybody get
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: a metal? The trainers, everybody else? Or what? Just the participants?
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: The coaches in the coaches in Bob Slid don't get up?
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Do you gotta Stanley cupp Ring Moses? Well, yeah, what's
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the difference.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's an excellent point. Yeah, excellent point. Look,
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: you can draw the line. I think coaches and players
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: can probably get those. I don't know why a coach wouldn't.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Why because he never laced up his skates. I mean,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: he's game planning, he's actively involved in it, So that
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: part doesn't make any sense what I was wondering though,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: do you think that they they would get another metal made,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: like to try and get it to the Gudro family
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: if they're doing all that, I mean, I know that
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: they're they're doing their best to make them a part
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: of this whole thing.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they would do that because obviously
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Johnny dro is no longer with us, he didn't play.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they would do that. I wondered though, like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: with how much that they were involving them with all
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: of it, they tried to go an extra step, and
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know who's yeah, I didn't make that call,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: who's in charge?
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they would do that, but but
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was really awesome.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: That's me personally. If I coached the US team and
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't get a medal, I'd be like, what the
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: hell's going on here? Tell me? If Bedsy coached Canada
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: and Canada won, Bedsy doesn't get a medal, you wouldn't
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: be like, why does he not get a medal? Is
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: he not game planning and setting the lineup cards and
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: doing all that stuff? Okay? Does that make sense? Okay?
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, I suppose. I mean Herb Brooks
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: never got a medal in eighty should have before we
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: get at the top here. I need more time than
• 45:54
