5-26-26 Hour 3 - How hot is Bednar's seat?/Why did the tides turn?/Keys to the Game, strange animal meats · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

  Speaker 1: This is Moser, Lombardi and Kane on Demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And while I believe that Jared Bednar is a very
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: good hockey coach, and I believe that if he were
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to not have a job here in Colorado, he would
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: be hired like that by another contending team, I worry
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: that because the team is on paper good enough, mean enough,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: physical enough, long enough, talented enough, veteran enough to not
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: only compete with Vegas, but beat Vegas, I worry that
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the message in terms of response mechanism is gone. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: at that point, if Colorado doesn't find a way to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: force seven games, not five, not six, to for seven games,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Jared Bednar will not be here next year. You must
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: force seven games.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: It's Arraj in the Morning Sprint yesterday. What do you
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: think of that motion?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I'm I don't know where I am on that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Brett's first time hearing that because I'm in Vegas and
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I didn't listen to Raj and coach yesterday. Raj is right, though,
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I mean he'd have a job, and I mean he'd
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: have he probably has multiple offers, you know, just sitting
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: out there waiting for him.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean not real, but you know what
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: The teams would jump at the opportunity to try and
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: hire him, or John Cooper or a lot of different guys.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: That being said, when you're up three to nothing in
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: game number three and you give up a power play
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: goal to begin period number two, what can the coach
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: do to write the ship at that point that the
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: player can't do themselves?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: What can Bennar do? I see this is where I've
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: been confused. When people tell me this is a coaching issue,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I ask a simple follow up, what do you think
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: another coach would do differently than what Bennar has been doing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I've watched him move Martin n Ages down to the
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: second line to try and bring a little bit of
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: jam to that one hasn't worked. I've watched him guy's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: personality personnel wise in the power play hasn't worked.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: If John Tortorella took over this team, tell him about
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: the Avalanche the other way around. Yeah, say he takes
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: over the Avalanche with a week and a half to
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: go in the regular season.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Where are they right now?
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, and I think I know
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: where you're going here, moj listen and vict. The reason
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I bring that, I apologize.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: The reason I bring that up Vic is Tortorella want
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: a Stanley Cup with Tampa in two thousand and four.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: He hasn't sniffed Jack Squat since, so why is it
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: working for Vegas? My point is that there are there
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: are things that you can't measure, that you probably can't
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: know the answer to.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: I want to start this and I'll try to get
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: to the bottom of what Bred just asked. There. If
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: you're looking, if you're listening this morning to this show
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: and you want to get the anti Beddar, get him
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: out stuff that's happening that you're hearing, You're not going
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: to get it here because we are biased, we are slanted.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: I know, I am, I know. I love Jared Bednar
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: as a human and as a coach. I consider him
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: a friend. I don't want to see him go, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: he may have to if this doesn't work out. He
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: understands that he gets it coaches in especially hockey, where
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: the shelf life is so short. He is a unicorn
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: to last ten years in one place. That's a unicorn
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: move that doesn't happen in this game. That is the
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: second longest tenure outside of John Cooper in the game
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: of hockey. So I get it. I get it, but
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: you will never hear me push for that endorse that
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: never because I believe personally this is my belief. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: again this is a biased belief. I tell you that
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: before I finished this sentence. It's a biased I team.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I believe his team let him down more than he
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: let his team down.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: So if I put it to you this way, there's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: one thing I think from from Game three specifically, that
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: maybe Bedsy could have done that he didn't. I was
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: talking to a buddy about this yesterday. Most when it
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: was three to one after the power play goal from
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Stone and you're still up to and maybe you feel
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: your team kind of reeling a bit, or maybe it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: after it goes to three to two, do you use
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: a time out there and just say, guys, settle the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: hell down. I don't know what's what's going on our
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: heads right now, we're we still got a one go lead.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Do you think maybe using a timeout? And I know
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: they like to save those friend of games in case
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you need, you know, rests in an empty net situation
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: or icing or whatever. But do you call a timeout
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: and just try and settle the guys down a little bit?
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Maybe maybe you do in records, maybe it doesn't, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: maybe not maybe.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, but but you're you're right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, listen, if it's a young team, if it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: if it's you know, he's coaching the Ducks and they
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: ain't never done nothing like that. If he's coaching the
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Utah Mammoth and and you know, you're you're all of
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: a sudden, it's three to one then three two. You know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: does Nathan McKinnon need a timeout? I mean, and again
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to say that
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: that that wouldn't be the right answer. I'm like, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: don't know that they need a time out. Did you
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: need a time out for Josh Manson to get blown
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: up at the blue line in a non call and
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: then allow Vegas to get deep in your zone and
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: you're trying to you're trying to get back into your
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: defensive structure by the time they score the freaking goal
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: by Colo Sar.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, what a time out of help that?
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I thought that after playing it pretty well, you got
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: picked up the blue line, no call, and then Colo
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Sar ends up scoring.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: What is most see? Let me but people grasp at anything.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Now when you're down three games to none, you grasp
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: it anything and everything rightfully.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: So for me, for me, you guys have heard me before,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: and it's not just bed Ar, it's any coach in
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: the NBA, any coach in the NHL. For me, when
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: it comes to pro sports, I always err on the
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: side of the players. Then I do the coach. I'm
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: the opposite to some people. There are people in this
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: town that bark at the coaches every time something goes south.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: It's the first thing, it's the first thing they go
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: to the coaches. I look at the players first, because
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: you're a professional. And again, as a professional, there's certain
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: things you can do. I'll give you example of this.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: I'll give you an example. The New York Knicks. Their
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: coach is Mike Brown. Is he doing a pretty good job?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Okay? Before that, he was the head coach of the
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Sacramento Kings. He got fired. How was he as the
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: coach of the Kings?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Not correct?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: Okay, same coach, same strategies, same ideals, same philosophies, same demeanor,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: same personality. What's the difference?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Got better players?
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Michael Malone? Is he a pretty good coach who won
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: a championship in Denver, the first and only championship in
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: NBA history. Where was he coaching before that?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Sacramento got fired?
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Same coach, right right, same same dude. Yeah, I mean
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: I can go on and on and on about how
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: I believe sometimes it works because you click with your
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: players and you can identify a personality and you just boom,
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: it clicks. Sometimes you can coach your ass off and
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: it won't work. I gave you the pyramid about why
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: the Aves are losing the series three nothing, and the
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: base of that pyramid two things, star players, goalie advantage,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: vegas in both. And if your star players are getting
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: outplayed and your goalie not as much is outplayed, you're
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: going to lose. No matter who the hell your coach is.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: You name a coach in the history of hockey, and
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: if I give you those two things that are getting unplayed,
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: you're not winning.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's to me, agreed. We talked about this
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: from Game one, sort of moving forward. Most there's a
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: lot of cases in which the Avs had good looks,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: they had opportunities, and sometimes you're just straight up missing
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the net. Other times it's you're burying one into the
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: chest of Carter Hert, not making them work very hard.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Other Times you're passing up a shot to try and
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: make the perfect pass that gets picked off.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Like I think you bring it off across.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: You said this yesterday, and I think this is maybe
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the most accurate way to put it. There is hesitancy.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: It feels like, especially within the top six right now,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: that they just aren't making clear and concise decisions with
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: confidence and if you're even you know, a tenth of
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: a second off on decision making a passing window that
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: was open is now closed, a shooting window that's now
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: or that was open is now closed. All that stuff
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: makes a difference. And in the case of Vegas, Vegas
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: just feels like they're playing more free and you can tell.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: They've they've got a vibe that is hard to beat
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: right now because they they're having fun, they believe in themselves.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: There there's no hesitancy to their game, even though overall
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: talent wise, I don't think they're as good as the Avs,
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: but they've got a little. They've got something going now
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: that the Avs don't have. Back to this coaching thing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Pete de Boor, is that a good coach? Pete de Boor, Yeah,
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: seems to be right, m hm.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Pushed all the right buttons in the Avs Star Series
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: last year.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Just got the job of the Islanders before the end
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: of the regular season. They didn't do Jack squad. They
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: did the same thing that they did, the same thing
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: that Vegas did. But he couldn't get the Islanders in
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: how many times has Pete de.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Borb been fired? I don't know five.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: See therein lies the issue here, and that's why people
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: are so ardent when it comes to this coaching thing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Is the shelf life of an NHL coach is ridiculously short.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: And someone expressed to me it's one reason why David
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Carl doesn't really want to make that lead to the NHL.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: That's why he's happy in college hockey because he sees it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Remember Montgomery made that leap from du to the NHL.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: It's not an easy one. Well, you you are chewed
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: up real quick.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Footer just got the job in Vancouver this year and
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: he's already got let go.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: It last year last year.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Sorry, But then again, you know, part of me says,
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I understand that, but I also know Bednar. I've had
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: this conversation with Jared Bednar.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: He knows, he.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Knows that he is the exception to the rule. He
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: knows time, but how many coaches, most how many coaches
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: can survive a decade in the same room.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: That is so rare, which means he's a really good
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: coach and the players really like him, because otherwise he'd
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: be gone. You realize he's never been fired ever. That's
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: from the Echo all the way to the National Hockey League.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Not only has he never been fired, he's never been
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: part of a staff where anybody's been fired. I mean
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: not like I mean he put it this way, where
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: the whole staff is cleaned out, you know what I mean.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Because they have coaching changes.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: But I can't. I can't think for a lot of
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: the people out there, and again, people you their their
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: immediate type in this town, the first place that goes coaching,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: And I get it. That's fine if that's the banner
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: you want to carry. Fine, if you believe that the
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Ads are down three to nothing in this series and
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: lose the series because of coaching. More power to you.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: I happen to believe it's that two parts of the
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: period I brought up star players goalie in that order.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Well at Teter says, isn't it on the coach to
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: create that vibe? And I'm just telling you from whatever
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: low level, not professional personal experience I had if I
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: was ever in hitting slump, there's nothing a coach could
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: say to me that was gonna get me out. It's
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: it was on you. You have to break out of
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: your own stuff if you aren't playing well. Like I
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: don't think mos there's anything Bennar can do to coach
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: brock Nelson into not having three points through twelve games.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I think that is just more of a personal thing
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: that you have to overcome mentally on your own. That's
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: on you as a player. And this is why I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: always my default not to say that this is always
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the case. Coaching has a lot to do with winning
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: and losing. You cannot dismiss that. But the default for
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: me is always the players need to do it. You're
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the one with the puck on your stick, You're the
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: one with the ball in your hands. Like there's nothing
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: David Adaman's gonna say to Jamal Murray to make him
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: make a three. You gotta make the three.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: How do you coach a two on one and neither
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: your player wants to shoot the pup? Mean, what do
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: you think the coach is sitting there saying good move? Guys?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. So again, got a viewing party tonight
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: and the As need to win. You should be at
• 13:31

• 14:03
  Speaker 3: is Alex Monico. He's at a uh. They had a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: watch party at Radio City Music Hall VIC and when
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the Knicks one, it sounded like this, bo look.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Behind me, stay behind me, oh first time, stoop shot now.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: And turn about you. That's your Foria.

• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Just shout back to you.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: That's where it's not to you.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: If you're on the opposite side of that, we can
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: let Charles Barkley discuss what happened with the Calves.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Chuck has requested special time to begin the halftime report.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: That's the time.
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, kids at home, if you want to see what
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: the word quit, come on, should give up the verd
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: of that is Kava lears, Oh, come on, this is
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: this is what you see.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: They think that Quito the Knicks is just that good.
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: Right they have they were down twenty nine Kenny kidding,
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: Look this is just effort here, come on, man, this
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: is just effort. You know, Simes, that question you asked
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: Shack and me and Kenny for the game like, players
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: ain't gonna say they gonna quit, but you know what
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: shows their actions.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: This and I play that for a reason. That's the
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: one thing that can't happen tonight. You just can't have that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: You can't have what happened to the Cavaliers last night
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: where they just walked onto the court and said, yeah,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: we're done. Okay, see you guys later. Have fun beating
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: us by fifty. That can't happen. You just need to
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: see fight, and obviously we're all hoping for a win,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: extend this series. If you do that, you win game five,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: maybe you can put some pressure on Vegas and you
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: got yourself a sliver of a chance. But you can't
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: go out and mos like, the last thing that you
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: need to see is first period ends and it's three
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: nothing right.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: If it gets to that point, it will be funereal,
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: It'll be a bad deal. It won't be fun. To
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: which I say this question, mos, ready, did you see
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: the look on Joe Sakkik's face after Game two? Because
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I ran into Joe in the elevator when he's looking
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: down in the ice. Let me ask you this question,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: going back to the coach's question, Let me ask you this,
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: do you think Joe Sakic is enraged at his players
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: or his coach? Because to me, and I don't know
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: the answer to this, I haven't spoken to Joe about it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: The translation to me is, guys, don't make me do
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: something I don't want to.
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: Do.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're probably not.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Vic.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: That's probably a very a very wise way to look
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: at it. He was not happy as a guy who was.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: A former player.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: God, I got to ask you about this because vick
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I brought it up yesterday. Nineteen ninety six. How good
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: were the Abs ninety six trade for WAW in December
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: and ninety five? But how good loaded? What they do
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: next year? Did they win the Cup the next year
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: after they won in ninety six?
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: No?
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Did they win the next year?
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: The next year after that and their year of the
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: same team loaded? No, the same team.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Nobody wants to hear it, and I don't blame you
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: for not wanting to hear it. It's so freaking hard
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: to win the margins. I mean, you have to have
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: a good team, sure, but when you get down to
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: eight six four good teams left, whatever, the margins between
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: winning and losing a period, a game, a series can
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: be very very thin. And that's where we're at right
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: now in my opinion, because it's not like the Abs
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: are getting out played a lot. They're not getting beat up,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: they're not getting blowed out.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: So I'm gonna ask, so I'll ask the listeners to
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: the show when you see Joe Sakik, the president of
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: the team, look down. Is he mad at his players
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: or his coach?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: What do you think it is players?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Because I don't know, I like you, I don't know
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: if it's specific to that. Maybe it's mad at the situation.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I doubt he's
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: he's standing up there with that look saying, oh God,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: if this is on this all Bednar's fault. I don't
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: think that's it. I don't think he's doing that to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: a specific player either.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: The Late the Lake Great Pierre laqua.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: I think, one of the best gms in the history
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: of the damn game, Late Great Quaix. Do you think
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: that he had any regrets in firing Mark Crawford VIC.
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: Of course, it always hurts to fire somebody who brought
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: you a championship, didn't.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Do you think he had regrets in firing Bob Hartley.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: It always hurts to dismiss somebody who's given you a cup.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: And I'll say this, Pierre thought, and he's probably right
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: about this, that the Abage should have had more cups
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: than they did. Brett, You and I talked about that
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: they when they won two in that five year span
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: and then didn't want again until twenty twenty two. But
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: even after oh one, the next year and the year
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: after that, and then things started to get tough because
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: of the cap, and you know the way things went.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: But he thought they should have had at least one
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: more and he's probably not wrong. But only the players
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: really know, you know, Only Joe Sak again, Peter Forsberg,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: and Patrick Waugh and Adam Only those guys truly know
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: why you lose two years in a row to Dallas
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: in the Western Conference final. Why after you win a
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: cup you get you get knocked out in the first
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: round by the freaking Oiters next year. Only they really
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: know down deep inside, all.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Right, So here's my fear tonight Game four. The last
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: thing you want is for a team. Well, I guess
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: if you get swept versus losing five doesn't really matter.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I'll let you decide that as a
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: fan if it really matters. But I'll say this, the
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: thing that strikes fear in my heart is after watching
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Game three.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: What lead is?
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, Hell, the Aps can be up five to
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: nothing tonight and I'd still be scared because they've shown
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: this pinchion to fall apart in just crazy situation. It's
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: just like, wait, you're in control.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: They were just in control.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: What happened. It's the lack of focus. There's ten minutes
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: left in game two, you're up one nothing, everything's okay.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: They couldn't get that second goal, and then boom in
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: two minutes, two goals. Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I just think that's That's where me and Mos talked
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: about this a lot yesterday. It was so weird to
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: see this. So the Avs go up three to nothing
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: and think about how they got there, and I do
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: think that this matters. They were up two to nothing,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Vegas gets what they think is a goal.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: They're even the As got lucky.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: As they go to review, they're celebrating, They're like, oh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: they're gonna review this lucky.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Let's be honest. They got lucky, yes.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: And the call stood that it was no goal. They
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: redo it. They're on the power play and Drewy scores
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: a shorty. Not only did you get a goal ripped
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: off the board for Vegas, you didn't get sort of
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: a cheapy going to the other way shorthanded. Now you're
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: up three to nothing. All momentum is in your favor Vegas,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: which is the loudest to ring in the entire NHL
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: is dead silent, And all it took was twenty seconds
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: into the next period. Mark Stone scores you're still up too.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: But most you and me both saw it. It was like,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: at that moment, the Avs panic and I don't know
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: why you're up to You have a ton of talent,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: You're a really good team. Why would that instill fear
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: in you? That's still to me because it makes zero sense.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Man, the course of a series.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: In the psychology involved in this, you could probably write
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: stuff and teach it in medical schools all across the country.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: And but I think part of it is and again,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: if you're not overtly thinking.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: It, like oh my god, what are we gonna do?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: They're not doing that. But it's it's the understanding because
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: they're not stupid. You already lost game one at home,
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: You already lost game two at home. God, we can't
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: blow this in game three when we got a three
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: to nothing lead. Now it's three to one. You see
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: what I mean? Yeah, And in Vegas does what they do.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: They're very opportunistic, and you give them this much, they're
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: gonna hurt you, and that's exactly what happened before you
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: finally caught your breath.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: That's what happened.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: But that's what I was talking about earlier in the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: sense that I don't think the Avs all season have
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: faced real in true adversity. You know, when somebody brings
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: up while they were down three to nothing to Minnesota.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: If they lost that game, they're still up three to two,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: They're still in the driver's seed. That's not the kind
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: of adversity I'm talking about. It is the desperation of
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: if we don't win here or we mess up, our
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: season's over. There's not another game. We're done well.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: It was much like in the Nuggets when they lost
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: to the t Wolves in that game six. I hate
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: to bring back that game, but the t Wolves were
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: missing four players, four key players. Yeah, you're facing elimination,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: go home, and you can't win.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: The game, Well, can you use And this is one
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: thing that you know, not being in huge moments of adversity,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe this is the first time we can see this.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Desperation in sports is sort of like a ped to
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: some teams. It can give you an extra boost. Does
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Bednar think that desperation could be an advantage.
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: You certainly hope. So I think, like you know, our
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: team's played with more intensity and more desperation as the
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: series gone on. Hasn't worked out for us yet. The
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: hill to climb, it's definitely a tough one, right, it
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: just doesn't happen very often, and we're certainly understanding of that.
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: But I think we have a lot of pride and
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: a lot of character in our room. They've displayed that
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: time over time throughout the course of the year. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: this will be our most difficult challenge. But I believe
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: that we will show up and we will be ready
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: to play and ready to compete for a win tomorrow night.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: And you know, I look at I know we're gonna
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: get ready to have a meeting here this morning, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: I look at all three of these games and like
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: they're all one play games.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: You know what we don't want to talk about, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: it's sort of the taboo subject in sports. We don't discuss,
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: even the professionals, even the greatest of their games. Sometimes
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: some guys, you get nervous out there. Sure you know
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: you're playing in a you know, just a mindless golf
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: match for money five bucks, and you get that three footer.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: You feel it, right, I do. I get nervous. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: feel it, I get nervous. I just think that some
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: of these players, for whatever reason, humanity hits you at
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: the worst time. Mortality. You're mortal, You're not that, and
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: you can't do what you normally do. You can't pull
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: it off right now, Vegas looks like no nerve in
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: the world, and the Avs are gripping the sticks.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: A big thing about nerves, like people see it as fear,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: and I guess sometimes nerves can mean fear other times,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: and I think this might be the case of the Avs.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: You almost want to do too much because you're trying
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: to make up for what you haven't had previously in
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: the series and the game. Whatever. It's that, you know,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: it's the old adage. You'll find coaches that say this,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: They don't want guys who give one hundred and ten percent.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Don't go outside your means, just play your game. But
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: when you get desperate in that way and the nerves
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: start to rack in, all right, let me try and
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: get perfect on this shot, you end up missing the
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: net instead of just putting on there and being simple,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Stuff like that, and most we've seen the opposite. We've
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: seen a team and they were down three to one
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: in that game five to Minnesota, and here's Nate from
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: an impossible angle and impossible shot in the face of
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: adversity of nerves and he pulls off a stunner. That's
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: what we're used to. That's what we're used to seeing. Yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: and we're not seeing it in this series. And the
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: swinging momentum and emotion motion. I want you to think
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: when the when the Abs are up three nothing in
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: that game, were you not thinking what I was thinking? Okay,
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: these are the Avs. Watch this. They're gonna put it
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: on them in this game. They're gonna play their game,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: They're gonna win Game four, come back to this is it?
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: Did you not feel a sense of that when it
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: was three nothing?
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: I did?
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Brett, did you like, Okay, this is all right?
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: They woke up.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: They woke for sure, you woke come up towards blug out.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: It's oh, we got Kail back this game. Everything's starting
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: to come together now, this is what you wanted to see. Yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Listen, Britt, you made a very good point. Brock Nelson
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: comes in on that breakaway and then pinging in the net.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. Did he did he hit the iron
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: because he's he has fear?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Or is he just trying? I mean he's you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: is he just trying to make that perfect shot? I
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: think just doesn't go. It's so I know it's frustrating
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: and people don't want to hear it, but it's the
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: damn truth.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: And again, man, if every.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Guy had the answer to every damn thing that goes
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: wrong and why you lose, then they would never lose.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, all these great players would never lose.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Man, Sometimes you just don't have a friggin rational explanation.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: I missed the three foot putt because I was nervous,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: not because I was trying to be too too good,
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: just nerves. The putter head comes back, crooked. I'll tell you.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Where I get nervous. We got a minute. Do you
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: guys do this as I do this all the time.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I would rather try and die a putt by the
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: hole than some of those guys when they have three
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: footers are like, I'm just gonna bang bang the break
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: out of it. That makes me way too nervous because
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: if I miss, I don't want to have a nine
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: footer coming back after having a three foot before.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: The pros they don't worry about that though, they give
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: me they can bang it three feet by and then
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: just walk up and knock it in and it's okay.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Explain this to me because.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: At the US hope and you think he was nervous.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, explain this to me because I see this
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: all the time and I don't know why this is
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the case. I will watch somebody like this happened to
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: cam young couple. He lines up over a three four
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: footer and takes his time, like really reads the break,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: stands over the putt and he misses three four feet
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the other way it's the same distance. But then he
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: walks around it and just.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: Goes, what is that?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: If he took so much time on the first butt
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: and he missed, then how does he go and bang
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: it in these.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: Because his anger floods his rationality, shuts off his brain
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: and just pops it in. But they always make that
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: when they do that, I'm telling you, but that's what's happening.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: You need to dude, why do you think so many
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: people have played better golf when they're drinking their brain
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: shuts off.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Vic.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, I have no comparison to playing
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: sober golf, So I have no idea what that game
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: is compared to drinking golf.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Brett, Brett, you could be a scratch and not know it,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: but you're never gonna try. Maybe that's the.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: One thing I'm missing. I have no idea. Uh three
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: oh three, five four nine. Final thoughts in a factory.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Next tease to the game seven o'clock aves Golden Nyes
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals game.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: Fore mos, gentlemen, how do you eat a hippopotamus?
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: You go to Colombia and find the extra ones left over?
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Still yep, and you have a barbecue.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: I wonder what a hippo tastes like like if you
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: had a hippo steak, it'd be a big steak, no
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: doubt aboutic hippo t bone.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: What's that taste like, Brett? You're right one body.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: He described as a cross between beef and pork, A
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: firm texture similar to Sirloin's steak, A full bodied savory flavoring,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: uniquely sweet fat. The undertone.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Really, I've never even heard of anybody ever serving hippo nature.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: It's not considered gaming and is highly prized in African
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: culordinary traditions.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's crazy.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: I wonder what animal that we wouldn't think would be
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: good to eat. It probably tastes really delicious, like a giraffe,
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: or like an ibex or something. I have no idea. Anyway,
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: you can't. You can't win the series in one game tonight.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: You gotta I know this sounds so cliche and stupid,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: but it's the truth. You just gotta win. You gotta
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: win shifts, you gotta win a period, then you gotta
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: win a game and then move on that. That's all
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: you can do. And the best players have to be
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: the best players. The best players have to come through tonight.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: Whomever it may be, look is naken to be one
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: hundred percent. I would doubt if that looks so incredibly painful,
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: and we know that he's tough, is vale going to
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: even play? I have no idea, boys, but your best
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: players have to lead the way scoring wise, and you've
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: just got to win shifts and then win periods and
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: then win a game.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Keys to the Game brought to you by Johnson Audoplaza,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: where he gets selection service and incredible savings on Ramjeep,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Chevy Bulk and GMC all at one location experienced the
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: power of the Plaza at Johnson Auto Plaza. Most just
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: for your answer, By the way, I looked up the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: best tasting exotic meats now, Elk, wild boar, and alligator
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: are the first three listed.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: I've had. I've had all three of those.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Have you had kangaroo?
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: I have not eaten a kangaroo? No.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Exceptionally popular staple in Australia. It is a light, earthy
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: game flavor that is incredibly tender and lean, one of
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: the leanest and most sustainable red meats on the planet.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: And then they have this Ostrich.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: The ultimating Ostrich. I've never I've never done that though.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: It's the ultimate quote loophole for steak lovers. It's red
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: and colored, deeply flavorful, with a slightly sweet profile that
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: closely mimics beef. It is ninety nine percent fat free
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: but maintains the juicy texture of high quality red meat.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: Whatever happened to just an apple? I just want an apple?
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Well, whatever whatever happened to just taking a chunk out
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: out of an Irish spring bar, you know, just just
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: taking a bite out of your soap.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: I wait, whatever happened to that?
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Dan?
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Didn't you eat Rudolph over in Finland one year or
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: something like that?
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: How was that?
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I oh, dude, I ate god that that one. No,
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: it was in Sweden. We went to that Viking restaurant.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Dude.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: They brought out a plate of meat and I here's
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: what I do know. I had anything with antlers in Sweden.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I ate including I had moose heart. Moose heart, moose heart.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, how is it cooked?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Well? It was, it was. It was cured. It was
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: cured moose heart. Yeah right now like a platter.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: No, I couldn't do that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Well anyway, Uh, how's my face? Look? I feel like.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Since this series started today's friggin Tuesday.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: You've aged twenty five years.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I look, I didn't you know?
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: And I'm dead serious, dudes. I did not sleep a
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: lot last night. I sort of tossed and turned all
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: night long. And I and I hope these guys didn't
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: toss and turn all night long. Hey man, what was it?
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: The did the Red Sox come back three, three down,
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: three er against the Yankees of the shielding the Bloody Sock?
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Was that three to zero.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: No, I think he got that part of history wrong.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: It never happened. Ex kidding, Yeah, of course that was
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: the whole thing. They lost that game seven the year prior,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: Aaron Boone hits the walkoff homer in game seven against
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: him Wakefield, and then yeah, they came back from that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Real how do you if you had to fantasize a
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: little bit about tennight, I mean, I know.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna fantasize, all right, You're mean to fantasize all fantasize.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: I think winning the game, Like Vegas people people said, well, god,
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: if you if you beat them like five nothing, that
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: would send a message. I would almost rather have them
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: scrape and claw and win one in triple lot.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I think so too. Seriously, I think that No, I
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: think that would do more for him because you'd face
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit of pressure, you'd overcome it, you'd get
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: like I think that would help confidence, Yeah, in crucial situations.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because being three nothing in the first obviously, that
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: dude that didn't do much for confidence actually hurt their confidence.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: I think if they can they battle in a really
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: close game, find a way to make a play, it's
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: it's there. Maybe the one scenario in which you could
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: build confidence enough to get back in this series somehow.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: If they if because all the other series, when you
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: look back to the Kings coming back and Philly over
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Boston in twenty two, Yeah, bro, was that twenty ten
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Philly over Boston when they were down three to zero.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I thought it was fourteen, but you might.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Be right now fourteen was the Kings. I think, help me,
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: but it will go down. And besides that, it's only
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: happened a couple of other times. Those weren't conference finals,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: though they weren't. If the Avs can do this, if
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: they can just win tonight and force a game five,
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: and I don't want to get beyond that. I don't
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: want to put any cart in front of any horse,
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: but it would be I'm mis alerting you, it would
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: be recognized as maybe the greatest comeback in hockey postseason history.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Well, what's happened four times? So it happened in the
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: nineteen forty two Stanley Cup final where the Leafs.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, way before what that was, during World Wars, they
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: had hockey and.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Win a lot of those guys. Wow, sure you did.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you did.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: It happened in nineteen seventy five in the quarterfinals where
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: the Islanders came back against Pittsburgh. It happened in twenty
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: ten in the semifinals when the Philly came back to
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: beat the Bruins, and then twenty fourteen in the first
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: round where the Kings came back to beat the Sharks.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: It it's not unprecedented, but it would be outside of
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: nineteen forty two in the Cup Final, it would be
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: the greatest series come back in modern NHL history.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm telling you. You get the win tonight,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: you find a way to win at home in Game five.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: That puts Vegas in a position of real pressure, because
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: now they don't just have the pressure of, hey, we
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: need to get one of these last two or our
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: season's gonna end. You get the pressure of we need
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: to get one of these last two or else we
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: go down in the history books as one of the
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: most complete and utter collapses in the history of the sport.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Why does everybody, by the way, most in my reading
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: and social media and articles, everybody hates Vegas. Oh yeah,
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: they're like they're like hated in the league.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: Vic I said, I sat out in the crowd for
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Game three around Vegas.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: I mean I was in the lower bowl in the stands.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep my thoughts to myself right now because
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: anything I say is gonna sound like bitter grapes anything
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: I say. And then once once this series is over
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: and hopefully the Avs move on most I'm must say it.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: I don't give Did they cheer the McKinnon injury?
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: No, they were.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: They were like booing because they thought that they did
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: that to stop play correct.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: That is correct and which is also stupid. But McKinnon
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: can't move. He can't. He can't literally can't get up.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: The puck is cleared out of the zone, you're gonna
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: get a whistle, you know, ten times out of ten,
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: and the Golden Knights bench goes insane. I'm like, you
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: just stuffing stuff? Are right in You're frigging you know,
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: armored stuff holes. It's stuff it, man.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I haven't had a lot of sleep, man, I just well,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I can tell you this.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: The vibe, the vibe that I get is from the
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: players as this is that it's much like us. We're
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: sitting here on this freaking Tuesday morning and you're saying
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: how in the hell are we down.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Three to zero?
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: How in the hell did we get from there to here?
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Because they guys, it's not like they've been playing really
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: poor hockey. They haven't been. And maybe that's the most
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: frustrating part.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: The pomp and circumstance that goes with Vegas Games, the
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: ridiculous acting.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: God, I can tell you this, flying dragons and crap.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: This broke my heart. It broke my heart. I'm a huge, huge,
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: as you well know. Sebastian Manuscalco fan. When I when
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: they showed him at the beginning, Sebastian, You're dead to me.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: He's going, Oh what exciting you're.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: You're dead to me?
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Means so much. Guy comes out in his tights, skates
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: out and tights, weren't tights, eating a turkey, l like
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: jousting with himself, just jousting himself in his tights.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Sebastian's got a little too Hollywood, a little too Hollywood.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: Humor doesn't work with me anymore. All I'm all I'm
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: gonna see is that that scene, everything's a sight. Everything's
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: like made up and everything. They go up to this,
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: there's some theater playing there's Kabooki theater going on during
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: a hockey game.
• 40:46

  Speaker 3: Motion.

  Speaker 11: I believe you had stepped away when we played this
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: clip earlier, and I want to get your opinion on it.
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: So you always say VIC is like a carnival barker
• 41:13
  Speaker 11: at Colorado Social during Nuggets post game shows after a win.
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: You want to show us what that sounds like as
• 41:17
  Speaker 11: an example.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Just right, we were more.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: Exactly so that's what VIC does.
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: So I want you to see how that stacks up
• 41:26
  Speaker 11: to a gentleman named Alex Monaco. He is a reporter
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: for the MSG Network and yesterday, after the Knicks punched
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: their tickets to the NBA Finals for the first time
• 41:35
  Speaker 11: since nineteen ninety nine, this was him doing a report
