Greg vs. Will vs. the World (2.250.2) · The Central Indiana Sports Report

0:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back central Indiana sports fans to the central Indiana sports report for this week's addition of Greg versus Will and eventually versus the world, I think I haven't figured out well.
0:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to be able to
0:17
[SPEAKER_01]: take on the world starting next week.
0:20
[SPEAKER_01]: What we do will and I every week we make predictions we debate.
0:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We wage your points based on our predictions and so far the score will is sixth and nothing will over Greg.
0:34
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want to talk about that.
0:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So how it works is there are four questions every week.
0:38
[SPEAKER_01]: There worth one point if there are two options for the answer.
0:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Two points if there are a few.
0:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Three points if there's a whole field that we're picking against like we did with the masters.
0:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And last week will the sun's be at the warriors for the final play and spot, so you get that point.
0:56
[SPEAKER_01]: The sixers won more first round gains than the blazers, which I just cannot believe has happened.
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, there is a lot of opportunity left on the board for you to get even, but like eternity.
1:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I've said in the last couple of times.
1:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt good about where I've been sitting at.
1:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And we won't bring up all fair conversations, but I feel like there's been a couple of times where you thought, hey, maybe I'm arguing a point.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't necessarily agree with.
1:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I have it.
1:29
[SPEAKER_00]: You have it.
1:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely have not.
1:31
[SPEAKER_01]: We're always going to talk about the number one topic on our minds, whether we agree or not, and then we're going to have three points in which we disagree.
1:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And well, they're still a bunch of points up in the air right now from past shows.
1:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We will get to those the next one on our schedule.
1:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now is May 10th, but we're going to have a few right now that are going to be decided before that, including one tonight.
1:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
1:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe two tonight.
1:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Question number one will the NFL draft was last weekend.
1:58
[SPEAKER_01]: The Indianapolis Colts did not have a first round draft pick in the second round.
2:03
[SPEAKER_01]: They drafted CJ Allen, a linebacker out of Georgia and the third round a safety from LSU AJ Halsy will this week's question is for one point will either one of them be on an all rookie team next year.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a great question, considering the fact that they're neither one first rompix, which conventionally speaking, you would say those who would have the highest chance, but I don't necessarily think in this situation it is, I'm going to say I increase the odds by giving you both.
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, so I am going to say yes, because I think CJ Allen does have a really good opportunity to be at the all rookie middle line macro, because of the fact that he's going to be a stay on starter, and I think a lot of time, especially
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: rookie's don't necessarily step in right away and have a huge impact.
2:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that CJ Allen will, I think him playing the mic is going to be huge for this cold defense as ability to come in.
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, we don't expect him to be leaky clean as prime from day one, but like to be a competent middle linebacker, week one of the season, that's what your hope is.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that will be good enough for him to be an all rookie team member.
3:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Think that's where I would lean as the CJ Allen is going to be starting immediately.
3:23
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no doubt that he is going to get his opportunity from day one.
3:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have to earn the spot clearly, but he's the favor going into that.
3:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's the fourth fifth middle line backer taken.
3:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So he has a pretty good shot, but I ain't call C too.
3:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate to say this because I said it before and it's been not true.
3:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I think of several players come to mind immediately, but I think the Chris Ballard nailed the draft particularly these two guys.
3:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they both have a shot, maybe not both getting on there, but both have a shot of being the guy who becomes an all rookie player, but I think it's probably.
4:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to hear your reasoning on Halsey because I'm not low on him.
4:08
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to get an opportunity to I think I think the second safety position is.
4:13
[SPEAKER_01]: without question open for competition.
4:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they plan on him competing for a starting job from the beginning.
4:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
4:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they think he was a second round talent and made a ticket him in the second round had other guys.
4:27
[SPEAKER_01]: been gone that they wanted including of course CJ Allen.
4:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I think he's really good at LSU he was a star and I think that he has a chance to be a really good player.
4:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got some limitations but in that secondary he might be in a perfect spot where a lot of other guys are great in past coverage as well might get his opportunities.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that it's a good point.
4:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in a way and is rookie here because you've got so much experience with buy them with a new ward, if he's able to come back, I think just from Wally kind of falls into that similar category too, but my guess is that Holsey's gonna there's gonna be a lot of shots taken him early and in your the tight in positions a lot different than it maybe was five years ago.
5:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's I think it's probably harder to be a strong safety.
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody says we'll DJ Allen's gonna have the green dot sure.
5:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm well aware of
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I think strong safety is a tough position to be really good at right away.
5:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the answer C.J.
5:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Allen, I do think that it's possible also the whole see we never hear from them again.
5:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Third rounders.
5:35
[SPEAKER_01]: They worked sometimes.
5:36
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't sometimes.
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: That's also possible with a third round.
5:40
[SPEAKER_00]: They do.
5:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it was that they're around there.
5:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that theirs is good a chance that he's going to, I think he nailed this draft.
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I really, I think the scouts nailed this.
5:50
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a question that you had.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: in terms of how the cults performed in this draft.
5:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And well, looking League wide more who, and the two teams that really came to my mind were the cults in Washington, those are the two teams that I really think checked a lot of boxes in terms of needs.
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I think hindsight's always probably going to be 2020 in a way because we don't really know if Seattle or a team like Chicago or didn't have an excellent draft because they were they're drafting for three spots.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Realistically, those are rosters that are pretty much final like the cults had.
6:20
[SPEAKER_00]: four spots probably five, maybe even six positions like where you could say the personably draft right here is going to be a starter.
6:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't necessarily think that for teams picking in the back half of the draft as they made playoffs, there's rooms are better.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Depending on who you lost, you may not even have a spot that you realistic.
6:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Colts was our main focus of the draft over the weekend.
6:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Our second focus locally was IU8 players drafted, including Fernando Mendoza, number one.
6:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And here is question number two, Will, who will have the biggest impact of those eight players from the National Championship Hoosiers based on football digest approximate value, worth two points.
7:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You
7:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to start with this one and the answer is Elijah Sarat.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he is fantastic.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Ravens nailed this.
7:22
[SPEAKER_01]: They went out and got two wide receivers who are great fits for Lamar Jackson guys who can get open.
7:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys who can go get the ball at the point of attack.
7:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys who you throw the ball up in the he has one guy on and you think he's the guy who's going to go get the ball.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Elijah Sarat can be that guy.
7:45
[SPEAKER_01]: make it a media impact and I might be arguing against myself there because they might also cancel each other out a little bit.
7:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Dave Flowers is the guy with the Ravens, but do you have any faith in Rashad Bateman?
8:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Devont his Walker?
8:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he has a chance to, if not supplant those guys at least eat into some of their targets.
8:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the answer is Elijah Sarat, who I think is gonna be an end-con bold and kind of player for the right ones.
8:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Eventually, and at this point, I'm gonna say something that I've kind of been holding in on the IE report is, I think Fernando Mendoza was a product of the system and IE, I do not think he's going to be a very successful and that's all quarterback.
8:29
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I doubt he plays this issue.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm with you.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he plays either.
8:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an interesting conversation because the obviously I'd draft cousins.
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't feel like he's in a position where he's going to Vegas unless he...
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks, yes, some shot of a starting job.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sure.
8:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that he definitely has a shot.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Their better off of Mendoza doesn't play.
8:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of with you.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that the issue with the IU folk that are, I'm sure, listening to the show and contribute a lot of IU people contribute to the show as well is the over hype of that he's our guy.
9:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's great that he's your guy, but.
9:08
[SPEAKER_00]: you can also like we've we had this argument a couple weeks ago.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at other first like number one draft picks, core at the quarterback business, you're even the top quarterback taken.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure other than Kenny Pickett, that he would be the number one quarterback taken the last six years, just based on the entire sample size.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I really, I would have had CJ Strahd, above at Fernando Mendoza, I don't know about Bryce Young.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I do agree.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that he's slightly overblown and there was such a necessity for the Raiders to draft a quarterback at one.
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: that it just felt perfect.
9:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an easy, great talking point.
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: But I see why it looks good.
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: He smart.
9:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He has good timing on his passes.
9:53
[SPEAKER_01]: There are some things in his game, but there are also some things he lacks that were not exposed with that great offensive line.
10:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Those great.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I agree.
10:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree completely.
10:03
[SPEAKER_01]: His receivers bailed him out so much and I just don't think people saw that.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that people really underestimate how good of a receiving core that I had.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll lie just a little bit of an offensive law.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Mark Cooper, Charlie Becker.
10:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are three, in terms of college receiving trios.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: The running game too.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They were very good.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just I agree.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that there was a lot of weakness of his weaknesses were masked by their talent.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk about another.
10:31
[SPEAKER_01]: He is a great leader though.
10:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great leader.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great leader.
10:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to question that.
10:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's got a shot.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: But by the way, I also want to point out that I thought Drew Breeze was not going to be a great NFL quarterback.
10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So take it with a grandson.
10:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I thought he was a product of the Joe Tillers system.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, uh, he's a generational type quarterback.
10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not really going to speak like that.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, the first four years of his career, I don't think anybody prior would have said, oh, Drew Breezes.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: the guy correct until he got to New Orleans.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Greg.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I really like the angel of pawns as my highest impact player for this year.
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: The reason for a corner is a very easy position for elite players to transition from the college to the NFL level.
11:13
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of really good rookie quarterbacks.
11:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Great rookie carbacks.
11:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you go down the laundry list of saws, Gardner, Pat Sertane, Cooper Daging, Quinnion Mitchell.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we're just talking the last five years.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are elite cornerbacks that immediately were NFL ready starters, all pro level players there first year.
11:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think corner is that,
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Just with the amount of reps that you now get with seven on seven, the amount of athleticism that it takes to me, he feels like a really strong fit, especially in a jet defense or he really outside it will Anderson probably going to be their best defensive player in a way and I don't know whether they're going to use him on the outside or they're going to use him on the nickel, obviously there is some size concern with him being an outside receiver because X is now in the NFL level, I run in about six three, two, 20.
12:06
[SPEAKER_00]: As much as Michelle, who's going to get a shout out here, Michelle Garment of the Tipton Tribune and Colleader, as much as she likes to hype up his game, there is an element where it's still college.
12:18
[SPEAKER_00]: And like now he's going to have to defend grown men for 18 weeks, and that's a whole different challenge.
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: That'll be some adjustment for sure.
12:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I like his ability to impact even if he isn't inside of the nickel because I think he's a physical tackler and he's going to notice for the football.
12:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that it's going to be quiet.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be one of those players that you look back and you don't necessarily remember the rookie year, but like you bill, look at the actual value added to that defense.
12:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you'll see that he is going to be a very good NFL player for a long time.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's the third best nickel corner in the league?
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't even name the third best.
13:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think you're on it's not necessarily If we were in season I could probably Yeah, I'm just saying like on the general level.
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You can tell me who that you're exactly right 15th best corner back wasn't league But the third best nickel you're gonna really struggle find a name good boy Like your pick, but I like my better
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, well, that was fun.
13:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Question number three.
13:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is going to play the Indiana fever in the W NBA finals, of course?
13:35
[SPEAKER_01]: We all know the fever are about to win a W NBA championship this year, no doubt about it.
13:40
[SPEAKER_01]: But, for some reason, they don't who wins the championship and when the fever do win the championship, who will they beat for the championship?
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think my picks the liberty, because I just
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope it's liberate.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I, they have so much talent.
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's more of a surprise that they weren't there last year than not.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And so for me, it's like that roster basically a stay-in-attack.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I've still thinking Escu has room to grow at her game to get even better.
14:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just, I feel like there was a lot of distraction around her in the,
14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: just, you know, where she had become like a pop culture icon in a way, especially after competing with Steph and that three point competition.
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that's not to take any disrespect away from her and doing that.
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think sometimes athletes can lose focus when that is where we're at.
14:37
[SPEAKER_00]: And to me, I feel like after really undertaking for a year, I see her as a player that comes in and really stumps her foot.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: on opposition just says I'm too good not for this to happen again.
14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: This just doesn't she's feels to me like a Kobe Bryant in a way of just terminology in the way that she plays the game even at the women's level.
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's a killer.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see her letting what happened last year and kind of the fall off.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Be the expectation now.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the answer is still probably the aces.
15:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Asia Wilson right now has the crown as greatest women's basketball player in the world.
15:18
[SPEAKER_01]: She's about to lose it.
15:20
[SPEAKER_01]: She has it right now.
15:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think she is going to play with the chip on her shoulder because she believes she's the best player in the world.
15:28
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not anymore assuming that Kaling Clark is at 100%.
15:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But I really like Jackie Young, of course, from Princeton, Indiana.
15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I don't completely dislike the aces.
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And I kind of hope it's them.
15:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of like the Liberty, too, which is weird.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate all New York teams, but I like their roster.
15:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I like you admire some of their players.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of the other teams, I just despise the dream, the links, the sparks, the sky, the...
15:58
[SPEAKER_01]: storm the mercury can't stand in the bottom, but like the three teams.
16:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, I have nothing against Golden State Portland or Toronto yet, but I'm sure they'll give me a reason to hate him eventually.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Connecticut, son, the mystics can't stand any other things.
16:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm not sure that you're ever going to probably hear enough from Portland, Golden State or Toronto, you probably ever really have some day and about maybe some day.
16:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely not like on the NHL where Elk Spage teams are like really good right away.
16:29
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's really a waste of time because we know who's winning this right.
16:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, if we were, they honestly could have made the conference finals last year.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
16:37
[SPEAKER_00]: They just, with how good they are and at you add Caitlin Clark back in the lineup, she really don't think at any point last year, especially after like the first few weeks, it felt to me like the writing was on the wall as she probably wouldn't come back.
16:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I get the play of Y the W and B, I kind of said it the way they did, but yeah, her addition.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the step up, the Delia Boston took, and I know that's kind of crazy to say, because she's in the lead five in the W and B, but she took a jump last year to me.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Where it was like, I don't know necessarily know that she played better, but the leadership role she took on in Caitlyn Clark's absence felt real to me.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: and Kelsey Mitchell should have been the MVP.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know for what she did.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Every, we all, and this is where I think the valuable of best to get so misconstrued in a way because Asia Wilson was expected to go do what she did.
17:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like anybody was shocked that Asia Wilson played incredible.
17:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But were you shocked that Kelsey Mitchell led the league in scoring?
17:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think you were a little bit.
17:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, she legitimately put the fever on their back.
17:49
[SPEAKER_00]: One of a playoff series, almost one of them too.
17:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Off of nothing but a little power.
17:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Legitmently was the entire team with that left hand and shot corner three that she just, it looked so good coming out of her hand.
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And I always feel like what she puts a shot up it's a make.
18:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I really don't think the rest of the league stands a chance.
18:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Agreed.
18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure they're going to completely dominate the regular season, but they're going to dominate the postseason.
18:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a little concerned about Leah Boston didn't play again last night.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, I, little concerned.
18:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm concerned that Candy Carter's on the ACEs now.
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, probably try to do something in the finals to take Caitlin Clark
18:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, well last question, very little in sports better than the Stanley Cup playoffs.
18:53
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't spent nearly enough time talking about it yet, or about two.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Question number four, Lightning or Canadians in game six tonight, worst one point.
19:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna go first will, I don't know nearly as much about the NHL and the 26th landscape as you do.
19:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't follow it day to day, I still am a huge fan, and although you're much more knowledgeable than I am on what's going on right now, I've watched this Tampa Bay Lightning team over the years.
19:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I know the last four years have not gone their way, they've lost in early rounds to really good teams.
19:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But in my mind, guys like Koutroff and Vestalewski come to mind when I think of the years where the capitals just couldn't beat them or the year that they finally did beat them and it felt like a great relief to me, that's what the Tampa Bay Lightning are and to me, what the Montreal Canadians are, and it's five to last year's losers.
19:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They come up short every single time.
19:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it doesn't make any sense because last year was different.
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: but I just, and make to me, Tampa's the hockey town, not much real.
20:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that is bold.
20:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, Greg, I do think there is really something about hockey in a way that I don't necessarily think the NBA or the MLB have, and that's just it feels like every series goes to seven.
20:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And especially, these teams have already played each other before this series.
20:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They've already played each other seven times.
20:23
[SPEAKER_00]: like they've seen the shit out of each other.
20:25
[SPEAKER_00]: They know exactly what the lineup looks like.
20:28
[SPEAKER_00]: They know who's in, who's out, what the line arrangement's gonna look like in terms of who's on the ice.
20:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They know each other.
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're in the same division.
20:35
[SPEAKER_00]: This is two and three in the lineup.
20:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They, you know, and I do think that has to come into the conversation especially when you get a coach like John Cooper who is so, I think ahead of, well,
20:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been ahead of the game for so long.
20:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the game may starting to be catching up with him just a little bit, but you've got Marty San Luis that is now behind the binge for the Canadians.
21:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Canadians for this reason of this reason, only.
21:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like this isn't a seven game series.
21:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And I say that because I think the Canadians getting Brendan Gallagher back is going to be a huge addition to that second line for really like the line that Kirby Docs centers that third line for the Canadians.
21:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think that headbands absence is just going to rear it's ugly head at some point where it feels like you have that stall work.
21:28
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not there, especially shut down defense, but like he is, it changes your penalty kill, it changes your five on five, play a lot, Brandon Hagel's play his ass off in this series.
21:39
[SPEAKER_00]: He does deserve a pat on the butt for what he's been able to do.
21:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to watch him for a couple years in Chicago, and if he told me that he would develop into the type of player that he is now, and true, we're talking to forefind plugger type guy in Chicago, and you start it out, he's Tampa baseball.
21:57
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe their second best player behind me kiddo could draw.
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's that's huge.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's also in the bell center.
22:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So I that that's probably the best home ice advantage in the entirely problem.
22:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're psychotic fan base.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a it's like playing in New York for hockey.
22:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and one could say that, one could say that.
22:28
[SPEAKER_01]: However, Tampa is the modern Montreal.
22:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The Canadians have been to the finals since 2020.
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: So correct.
22:36
[SPEAKER_00]: There is some history there.
22:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Greg, I think it's a great debate.
22:40
[SPEAKER_00]: And you say we should talk more about hockey.
22:43
[SPEAKER_00]: If the fans say they want to listen to hockey, I could talk all day.
22:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
22:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't.
22:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I talk hockey history.
22:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I embrace our fan base to this show too.
22:54
[SPEAKER_00]: If you do care about hockey, let us know.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We will make sure it stays a vital part because it, it's the best playoffs in sports.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's close.
23:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I wanted to talk some horse racing this week and unfortunately we just
23:15
[SPEAKER_01]: didn't have the combined knowledge to be able to do that.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't, we don't.
23:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to talk about all the major events on this show, but sorry, Kentucky Derri, we just couldn't.
23:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I went once.
23:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I was enough for me.
23:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I just really struggle with the fact that like that eighth place horror, so the Derri, like it's, there's a bowl of weight before, and it goes back to the stable.
23:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of really struggle with that morally with the sport.
23:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Just always seems like there's a horse dead.
23:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Will.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I always appreciate it.
23:47
[SPEAKER_01]: That was an awful lot of fun.
23:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for listening.
23:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Please join us again next week.
24:09
[SPEAKER_01]: The central Indiana Sports Report is a product of ITG media, and I love Susie.
