• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Radio App.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: You know, like every year I've been here, after my
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: second year, it's like Copper Bust, Copper Buss. Well, we've
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: won one cup. It's hard to win. Okay. I wouldn't
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: want it any other way, But I don't think our
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: players would want it any other way. I don't think
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the players that join our team at the deadline, the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: guys that have been here for years, would want it
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: any other way. Now, you're leaving yourself open to a
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: lot of criticism because it's always just like Copper Bust
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and every time you lose in the first round, second round,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: whatever it is. You know, people are gonna get on
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you because you didn't win the Cup. But I'd still
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: rather be fighting for that, like having earned that type
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of reputation because of the way you play in the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: through the regular season and the group that you put
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: together as an organization, and the high expectations rather than well,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: let's just try and make the playoffs.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: You know, it's been our postgame after Game five in
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the series clincher against Minnesota as they get ready for
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Wednesday's Game one against Vegas. We'll have another keyword at
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: nine to twenty for you to get into avs Ali.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: But he also said this over the weekend quote, I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: think everyone's going to be available for Game one, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: we'll see to all the guys that have missed practice
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: or have been dealing with things. Mccarr is the main one,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: along with Lecanon and Malensky and everybody else. Looks like
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: everybody should be available, according to Bednar over the weekend.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I hope that is the case. I mean, you
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: certainly hope that it's It's not the other way around. Right, Look,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: they've been they've been off the ice now or sorry,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: they've been done. They finished on the thirteenth, which was
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: what Thursday?
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Help me, Wednesday Thursday? What night did they play? I
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: don't even remember.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Fourteen fifteen sixty. It was Wednesday night, Wednesday night. So
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: one week, yeah, there'll be one week in between. Yep.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: They're not practicing today. They will practice tomorrow. So you're
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: going to probably get a pretty good idea on how
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: guys are feeling on the presentation of who's on the
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: ice tomorrow. That's my guess. I don't know what I mean. Look,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: a lot of guys have something. But if you practice,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I think you're probably going to be pretty good to go. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: And I would think that you would have to practice
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: tomorrow because a morning skate on Wednesday of game number
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: one isn't the same as a practice is.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I anticipate a difficult series either way.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it will be. I don't have any illusions
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: that it's going to be an easy walkthrough by any
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: means for either team.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I have in front of me a list that you
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: guys had me notate during Jared Bednar's interview. Six things,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: according to coach Bednar, what.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Do you call that person? Describe? What do you call him?
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: According stenographer, was the Steno So six things that you
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: need to survive the Stanley Cup playoffs.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: The person who takes minutes of like a meeting.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Okay, tell me to read them. According to coach Bednar,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: you gotta be good. First of all, you wouldn't be there, right.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: You gotta be lucky. Give me an example of lucky.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Lucky with health.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: I think I mean healthy is a different category here,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: lucky lucky.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: You gotta be lucky that way, Lucky bounces, huck luck,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: huck luck, absolutely lucky.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: That mccarren's brain short circuits when he has a wide
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: open net and overtime, that's lucky.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: It's pretty lucky. You gotta be healthy, that's for sure.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: In the Lucky also included, I think health in luck.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Got to be tough, both mentally and physically.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: That is true. Mentally tough because it's a grind, Physically
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: tough to play through.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Injury got to be hard yep, yep. And last one, well,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: this is not a quality, it's more what it is
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: exhausting it is.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I love his comment about the ABS going sixteen and
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: four in twenty twenty two. Do you have that cut,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Brett gigs If you do, it's a great cut.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And I remember in twenty twenty two, like what we
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: were sixteen and four and it felt like when it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was done, it felt like every game was must win,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and we lost four games the whole playoffs. People outside
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of the competition would be like, well, you went sixteen
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and four, Like, obviously, wasn't that hard. When you're going
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: through it, it certainly feels hard, you know, And that's
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the stress of the playoffs and expectations. It's the It's
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: just you know how one period or one game can
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: be the different prints or the swing of momentum. So
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you just feel like you're constantly on distressed. So it's exhausting,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's stressful, no matter what.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: It sure, no matter what. Again, arren Helm doesn't score
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: with four seconds left, it could be different.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you could be coming back home for a Game seven,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and who knows what happens. I went through, excuse me
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: last year in Game seven against the Stars, in that
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: third period, Ranton it came in, made a great shot,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: man good stuff, his second goal, crashing into the end boards,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: falling down, throwing the puck up, ice ever guchetes off,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Sammy egos in blah blah blah blah. I mean, these
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: things happen, so you have to have all of that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you it's somebody is going to win every
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: single year. But when that somebody looks back, they say, road, god,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: that was a pain in the butt. My god, that
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: was hard.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: It's designed to be that way. If it isn't, what's
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: going on here? I told you about Adam Foot in
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: two thousand and one. Bright, this is twenty five years ago,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: can you do math?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, twenty five years ago.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Dude, he was a small, wee little child.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I know, he was just a little leaden boabe yo fish.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Eleven, you're probably still yeah, you're still horking goldfish.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: And he had a full beard playing with frogs and
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: milk and that goat.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I still can't have a full beard.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Gone. So I'm on the ice and this goat gone, please.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Whatever you can, milk, milk, whatever you want to milk.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: And I run on the ice and I'm talking to
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the guys and blah blah blah and foot and he's
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: just exhausted, right, He's just I mean, he's just panting.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I said, Adam, you know you did it that. Whatever
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I said, he goes mos, he goes. I'm sorry. I've
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: been lying to you for the last three months. It's
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. He's like,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I had to lie to you, man, but
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I was lying to you. I remember that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what I say, I remember that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Because he would say, now, you know, we're we're doing great.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: You know, we're hey, this everybody's everything is cool. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: had to lie to you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Motion I'm sorry. Meanwhile, his inner voice is panic. Yeah
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: you know, did you guys have to That's the way.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: That's the way it is to the Stanley Cup. I
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: don't know how to tell you how freaking harder.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: I'll say this again. And for those who don't recall,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: you remember the microphone in front of Nicola Jokicch after
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: they finally won the NBA title. That was a man
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: who was more relieved than joyous. It wasn't joy, correct,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: it wasn't joy, It was relief.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yo kichen yo kicch had. I think what will go
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: down in history as the most unique reaction to ever
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: winning a title. He literally said, the job is done,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: we can go home now.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Is that not relief? That is that is at the
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: hand of a double ship shift in a coal mine.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: You brought his thermous and his lunchbox. His face is
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: all dirty, city and dirty. And many who walks out
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: of that mine and says the job is done. Hey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: we can go home now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: In a couple of days, everybody's gonna celebrate you and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: you get to get drunk on a fire truck.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: No, they want to go home. They said, well, you
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: still have the parade He's like, what parade?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: When this parade?
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: When this parade? So good man?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're so right. Most for the people that are
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: in it, as coach Bednar explained, the people that are
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: on that journey and doing the work, we're joyous because
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: we're not doing the work. I think most of it
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: is relief, I really do. It's relief. And what's another
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: word that you can explain as you're they're halfway think
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: about they're halfway through a Stanley Cup right now, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: it's felt like a month. It felt like two months.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna give Melly every day. At the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: end of the show, I want to leave the show
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: at the last thing being said, the job is done.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: We can go home now?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Is down?
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: You can go home now?
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: So good.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: That is our goodbye from now on. Kyle Keef had
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: something before the postseason began. He wrote a tease for
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: those pretty good. It was very good. But what did
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: he say? Oh, it's you survive it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: You win this Stanley Cup, you survive it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: And Brett I'm not and I'm not trying to be
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: dramatic here.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: The Hunger Games, it really is. I'm good, serious, dude,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: you're getting taken out and you gotta dodge, duck and dive.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Do you remember what happened to? What that?
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: What's that kid's name?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Robert Pattinson kid and the Harry Potter flick.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Cedric Diggery said, goodness, gracious, that is the nerdiest thing
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that's ever been said that you pulled that out immediately.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Now if you don't, you know what you ever? If
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: you guys, always Harry Potter trivia, dude, it was the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Goblin of fire. It was a sporting event, all right.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: The Try Wizard Tournament.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Respect Nelly who won the NFL MVP last year.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: He went back to back. Only one of us on
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: this show has a Harry Potter wand Okay, who's that?
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: It's not mine?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Sure, The point is that dude, dude died. Okay, now
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: that's a little bit dramatic, but that But but Brett,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: it's just it's a it's just attrition. It's just constant
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: attrition because these bodies are not made to go that hard.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: The brains and the bodies are not made to go
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: that hard that often for that long. They're just not
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: built that humans shouldn't be built that way.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: The difference between postseason and regular season is pretty obvious.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: But I think what it is now the length of
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: the postseason and the intensity of these postseasons. In a
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: basketball game, in the postseason, you gotta play both sides. Correct,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: You ain't doing this say I'm just gonna chill. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: gotta play both sides or you lose.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: And not only that, but if you even remotely take
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: half a shift off, you are exposed to the hill.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: So I'll tell you what I'll do. So today's one
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: day the Do you guys want all the breakdown advantages
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: and so on disadvantages? Do you want that tomorrow? Do
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: you want it Wednesday? Like real?
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Getting like I I will bring you the real truth.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: And this is not this is not homersm. I'll tell
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you what.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Can you save it for August?
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: No, No, I want to he's breaking down this upcoming series.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what Vegas does incredibly well. Where they're better,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: where the Abs are better, and so on. The Abs
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: are in pretty good. I mean, overall, the Abs are
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: a hell of a good hockey claper.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Their centermen are much better than the Wild obviously.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Giving especially with Carlson back for them as their second lines.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: And they have many more veterans on that roster that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I've been there. A lot of guys have won on
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: that team. A lot of guys have won, that's all.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Remember they won in twenty though.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I still can't get over.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think Carter and the goalies they faced so far,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Themelka and do Stal in terms of postseason hockey, they're
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: not really These guys are not tested in postseason hockey
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: They do have the leading score of the playoffs. And
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: that guy that starts with the D or whatever his name.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Is, Mitchie Marner has eighteen points and twelve I know.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: But the leading goal scorer Fiev.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Cedric Diggery.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: What's his name? I'll never get that name, Dofin Schmirtz.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I can't believe how I can't believe how
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: quick Nelly was with the name.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It's amazing.

  Speaker 4: What's happening?
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You don't know?
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: You you're sitting here on this Monday. I can barely
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: contain myself. In fact, I want I want to go today.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I hate waiting. I've been waiting like it feels like.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: This entire playoffs.
• 16:30

• 16:33
  Speaker 3: then round two gets here and I gotta.

• 16:38
  Speaker 4: It'll be every other day from this point.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Good news is once it arrives, it's bam, bam, bam,
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: better get ready way and bam, thank you, ma'am. So
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Wednesday Friday in Denver, Sunday, Tuesday in Vegas, Thursday back
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: in Denver, if necessary, correct, that's where we stand.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Correct, it's gonna be. It's gonna be Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: if it goes seven.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Just a quick question for you. We talked a little
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: bit about the Broncos schedule release last week, and I
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: think there's a very very very good chance that the
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Broncos take a step back record wise. For a number
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: of reasons, their schedule is tougher. Number one, Number two,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: it's just hard to win fourteen games back to back.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Your team has to be like really really good to
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: And maybe they will.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know. My guess is they won't. Does it
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: change anything for you? Now that Aaron Rodgers has officially
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: signed his one year deal back with Pittsburgh, that's another
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: team that's going to be competing for a playoff spot.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Does that change anything?
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Just a general question.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I keep thinking to myself, Well, there's no way that
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a Aron can get it done at forty two. He
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: can't take them back to the postseason again, can he?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: And the answer is probably, yeah, he probably can. When
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I watched him last year, I thought his accuracy was off.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: I thought he looked a little bit. He looked different
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: than he used to look, but he still made some
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: throws where he go ots. That's the old aa Ron
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: right there, that's Aaron Rodgers.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: I'm sort of over that. Over what him.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I'm over Aaron Rodgers too.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I mean it's very clear he was just doing this
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: to sit out the early camp stuff that they do.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: But I asked the question for this reason because here's
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: what I realized. The AFC North has plenty of teams
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: that you would fear because of the quarterbacks that are
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: in it. So the Steelers are a team that made
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the playoffs last year. They won that division. But who
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: else is in that division?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Well, you've got Baltimore with Lamar, You've got Cincinnati with Burrow,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: and you've got Cleveland with whomever they're gonna go with.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You know what's really funny, the one team out of
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: those four teams in the playoffs are I'm sorry that
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: in the division last year, AFC North, the one fan
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: base really really wanted their coach fired, was the only
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: team that didn't have no fires that since it since
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: he fans are so done with Zach Taylor and he's
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: still there. Meanwhile John Harbaugh gets bounced and Mike Tomlin
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: get bounced. I mean Stefanski's whatever, but those two in particular,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: and I was just like, really, the one team that
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: wanted their coach fire didn't get him fired in that defense.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Then let me let me try to reverse this question.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Who's out? Is New England out?
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about? Like you're talking about playoff teams?
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Correct, who's going to be out? Is in New England?
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: I don't think so. I think New England's a solid team.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I think Jags. I don't know. I think there if
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I think they're up or down, I don't know. I
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: think they could be out, they could be in.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I think they're better than Houston the one the division.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Can the Steelers win the AFC North again? At ten
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: and seven?
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Again, I that's not a team that I'm banking on.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: No, No, Houston.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: I think the defense is real good.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Defense is so good and.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: They're in an easier Are they in an easier division?
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well they are. I mean Jacksonville is now at
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: least a contender against them.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: But Jacksonville with thirteen and four bright.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Now, the reason why I bring this up is because
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: there is no guarantee you're winning the division again, no
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: guarantee you're making the playoffs. That's it, though. I think
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: everybody kind of assumes a playoff spot. And I'm my
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: guys still pretty loaded.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, Buffalo, are they going to be where?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to be in the playoffs.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: How about the Chargers?
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: You know the Chargers, they're always the playoffs.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but here's who missed. Baltimore missed, since he missed,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Kansas City missed. Yeah, you've got to think that all
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: of them are going to be back in some regard. Listen,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: if you've got Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes and oh
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: it's watching the thing and Joe Burrow, you got a
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: puncher's chance at the postseason every year. But I was
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: watching the thing on Good Morning Football, said Patrick Mahomes.
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: Knee.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Sure looks pretty good with his golf swing. He's out
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: on the course and they're videoing him and all this
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: kind of thing. He's golfing up a storm. He's gonna
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: be pressure on the knee.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Sure seems like it, doesn't it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a question for Vic. Hmmm, Vic, you
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: are a huge proponent. You bring this up all the time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: You love this about Nicola Jokic, who if you guys
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: missed it, which he didn't, but he finished second in
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: the MVP. Again. One thing you love about Jokic win
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: or lose a playoff series. What does he do?
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: He always goes to the opposing team up and down
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: the bench and shakes hands with everybody.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I bring you Game six Spurs, Tea Wolves T Wolves
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: once again are getting absolutely housed here Antonio. Eight minutes
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: remain in the fourth quarter. Minnesota's gonna lose, but eight
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: minutes remain time out. Anthony Edwards is getting pulled off
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: the floor. He walks to the Spurs bench with eight
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: minutes remaining and DAPs everybody up.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: What you think?
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I think two things. Part of me doesn't mind it
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: because he knew the game was over. The other part
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: of me said, well, why can't you just wait till
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: the game ends? So I'm not offended. I'm not like,
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: oh my god, that makes him he was doing the
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: right thing at the wrong time. Is that fair? He
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: was doing the right thing at the wrong time.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I gotta be honest. I would rather him not shake
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: anybody's hand than do it with eight minutes left in
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: the game. The game was over, understood, I've never seen
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: that before.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: He was doing the right thing at the wrong time.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Would you have Lebron goes straight to the room? Yeah?
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Probably so.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I think I'd rather have him do that than with
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: eight minutes left and I know the game's over. But
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I do not like that at all.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: The bigger question here is why are the Timberwolves getting
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: absolutely As Vic would say.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Ear hole, well, it's happened in a lot of these
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: these elimination games in the NBA. I mean it happened
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: last night. Game seven at home Detroit was awful. They
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: got pulverized the Knicks. The Knicks beat the snob.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Pulverized out of Philadelphia that in that final, that Game four.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you why sweep. And I don't think Nuggets
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: fans are gonna like this answer. Minnesota wasn't very good.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: They were tough, they were good against the Nuggets.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Hang in hand, they weren't very good. They were tough,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: they were and the Nuggets weren't. Yes, that's the answer.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: I will agree with you there.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: San Antonio was miles better, you know what said, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: as tough as Minnesota.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Get, the result makes sense of this, and tell me
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: if I'm off based. I want you guys, I want
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: everyone in Nuggets Nation. I want everybody listening to this
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: radio show all around the globe to tell me if
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: I'm crazy by thinking this. The Nuggets, despite their shortcomings
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: against Minnesota, and there were many, probably would have given
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: san Antonio a sterner test for Minnesota. Absolutely, How do
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I come to how do I make sense?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It's because it's because it's about matchups, bro, That's what
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: it's about. Matchups.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I'm going to repeat what I said. Minnesota was not
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: a very good basketball team. They were a tough team,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and when you weren't willing to match the toughness of
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: that team, you got beat up.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: So how do you come to terms with that? I mean,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: upon reflection, if toughness is the only thing standing in
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: the way, how do you get tougher both mentally and physically?
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Because I assume you're talking about both, yes, So how
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: do you how do you beef up your tougher meter?
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: You need to go find tough Okay, so what does
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: that even mean? I see, I think you're I disagree
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: with you on many parts.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: There's no, no, because here's the thing that here's one thing.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Are you not change?
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: Are you confusing tough for good?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: No?
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I will look even if I'm wrong, I don't care.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: This is how I feel.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: It's my opinion.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: The Nuggets were better than Minnesota. They were certainly better
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: in Game six when they didn't have anybody on the
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: floor for the tea.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting, So so hang on, hang on.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: When I say that there's one thing you can't change
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: with a player. You can change their skill. You can
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: develop skill out of guys. You can make guys better shooters.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: You can change their shooting form. You can do this.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: You can do that.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I can't change mentally the way you feel about competition,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I can't change that. And if you're one of those
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: guys that I can't change for the better, then I
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: can't have you here.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: That's just another way of saying what I said.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: You know, the difference between the two series.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: You can't manufacture that wantony motion.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: I've got something. I'm gonna circle right here. I got something,
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: the difference between the two series. Against the Nuggets, these
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: three players outplayed who they are. They were much better
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: than who they are. From Minnesota, Io desum knew, of course, Okay,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: he was otherworldly. There's no way he scores forty three
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: against anyone else in the world.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Ever, again, in the postseason.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Bones Highland was really good against the Nuggets in the
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: couple games.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Then what happened.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Terrence Shannon Junior was really in that last game? Remember
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: what he did last game? Yes, those three players, look
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: at their numbers in the San Antonio. In the San Antonio.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Series, well, I can tell you Bones put up a
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of donuts.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, So those three players, why were they so good
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: against the Nuggets?
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Then Bones played in four games? How many points do
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: you think he had in four games two against the
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Spurs two a handful three three points, three points. He
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: hit one three the entire series. Terrence Shannon, who was
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: lighting you up? Uh, he had a twenty one point
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: game in game six, but he had a two point
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: game and eight point game and a five point game
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: mixed in there. How about Io dis soon move?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: He had a donut in game two his first game
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: than eleven ten, sixteen to ten.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Now you could say he was playing with an injury,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: he had the CAF issue.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Whatever.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Randall was less than spectacular, and a lot of that
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: is san Antonio being really their guard san Antonio cards.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: And this brings me to this point. I'm glad we
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: got here, and it took a while to arrive here,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: but here we are. The Denver Nuggets find themselves in
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: a very very odd predicament. Fellas the results of the
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: MVP speak volumes for me because what did the MVP
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: tell us? MVP results as they go again to who
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: wins the MVP, another guy from the Northwest Division. The
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: MVP award now has been taken home by the Northwest
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Division in five of the last six years. Should have
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: been six or six. Five of the last six years.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: The Northwest Division owns the MVP. Look at where the
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: balance of power is in basketball in the Northwest Division. Yeah, idols, MVPs,
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: deep playoff appearances, all these other awards. It's in this division.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: So now you're asking a team, what are they going
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: to do in their hell, forget the rest of the league,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: what are they going to do in their own division?
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: You're asking a lot right now, which is why I
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: believe the move, the best move going forward is maybe
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: take a step back before you reload at the end
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: of Joker's career, because I'm not sure what you've got
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: next season. I'm not sure what you have is enough
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: next season. Look at the rest of the division.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: What you cannot do, What you cannot do, just to
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: begin with, let alone the rest of the division of
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: the conference. You cannot count on the health of Aaron Gordon.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: As much as I hate to say it, at this moment,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: you cannot count on it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Even if you do, it's bigger than that, even if
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I can't agree, even if that's your starting point. You know,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: we always talk about running it back, right Running it
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: back would mean you're deep into the repeater tax, and
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to go there with a
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: wing and a prayer, and that's what it would be.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Like I heard you mentioned somebody in your the Appetizer
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Appetizer Hour, somebody said why not just Nelly asked the question,
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: why not just spend as much money as possible? Nelly,
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I think the answer is simple because it's a risk
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: that could set you back a long ways because if
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: you go into the repeater tax again, you reset the
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: clock again, and it means you're in the repeater tax
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: the next year and the following year.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: The likely and then a return on that bick is low.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: And if it means you go into that repeater tax
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: multiple years, you're stuck there and it financially binds you.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Which is why I think the best move forward it
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: a step back before taking two steps forward. You're not
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: gonna want to hear that. I know nobody does, but
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I just take it's the only way out.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Of this.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Reality of it is you lost to in the first round.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: At best, at best the third best team in the conference,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: and maybe with a healthy Lakers they were fourth man.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: You know, if they played Houston, who knows if they
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: win or not. But at best it's the third best team.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: You run it.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Back with that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: What if you end up playing that team again in
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: the first round.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Well, then you cross your fingers and hope that Aaron
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Gordon and Peyton Watson are healthy.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can't rest on hope. You can't rest
• 30:33

• 31:34
  Speaker 3: the statement that the Golden Knights put out after their
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: punishment in no comment. The Golden Knights are aware of
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: today's announcement from the NHL regarding the postgame media availability
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: following Game six and Anaheim, the organization will have no
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: further comment. It's like that kind of got you in trouble.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: We're going to comment on the no comment, moj.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Are you into advanced analytics when it comes to hockey.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Sure, a little bit.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I think there ad about I think
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: they're useful. He was asked about this. He goes, we
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: certainly use them.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: They're not everything, but they're useful. Yeah.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: The x G percentage, that's expected goal percentage? Correct?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Did you know that in the Colorado and Minnesota series
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the top fifteen players in expected goal percentage were awl ass?
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Not a single Minnesota player is in the top fifteen
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: of that category.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Did you see after the first period of Game five
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: the you follow the XG all throughout the rest of
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: the game. Yeah, and it was basically veggas plateaued after
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: like the first Minnesota or sorry Minnesota, it was basically zero.
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, Hey, Vic, yep.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: It'd be like after the first quarter, go it, Hey,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: maybe you have a maybe you have a seventeen nothing
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: lead after the first quarter. Expected points from this point
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: on nada. Good. So all you've got to do is
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: just play your game and get the twenty one and
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: it's a win, which is kind of how it went.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Would you like another statistic? This one might make you
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: feel a little bit uneasy, Okay from Corey Massasak. Last
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: twenty games played, Carolina is sixteen three and one seventy
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: goals scored forty four against. The Abs are fifteen to
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: four and one seventy three, scored forty seven against. Vegas
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: is fifteen four and one seventy seven scored forty seven against.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: You know, it's a different team, dude, it's it's why
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: they probably made that coaching change when they did. They
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: saw something. Plus, guys are getting healthy. They were missing
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Carlson for most of the year, right a lot. Okay,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: guys are getting healthy, Guys are coming back to the mix,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: to the fold, and it's a veteran bunch. They're not
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: easily they're not easily distracted because they've been there before. Yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: it's a scary team, it really is.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: And le me'll also explain the opponent's situation for both
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: of these teams. And when Jared Bennaris, do you have
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: the quote about towrts.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Be good quote?
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Well, Basically, he says Towrts is an excellent hockey coach,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: and he's absolutely right about that. He's an excellent hockey coach.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: He's made a difference and they're much better team because
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: they already had the players. They just had to be
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: properly motivated and so on, and da da da da da.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: But the opponents that those teams have faced again, I
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: would like to have seen what Carolina would have done
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: against La and Mini. I'd like to have seen what
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Vegas would have done against La and Mini. Now again,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: the La Kings their goals, they're expected goals, Brett, not
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: a lot. Yeah, But I cannot stress to you enough
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: how much DJ Smith and the Kings emphasized defense in
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: that series. I can't stress to you enough how they
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: sacrificed virtually everything intensively.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: What do you think Vegas will emphasize They got guys
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: who can score, bick counter attack them.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the counter attack team they are, yes, and they're
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: very good at it, like.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: Dallas was last year. Does that scare you a little bit?
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: They sort of, you do your thing right and then
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: as soon as they can pounds, then it's up to you.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: To not turn the puck over in the neutral zone,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: because that's what they love to turn you over. They
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: love to turn you over. It's your own blue line.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: They love to turn you over at the red line.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: They love to turn you over and their blue line.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: And then you got guys who are now they can go.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: You can be dominating a game with all the analytics
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: you want, but at the end of the day, they
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: got too goals. You got two goals and you're going
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: to overtime.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Correct that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: It scares me.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Minnesota had Hughes, Caprice, Off Baldy top three to be
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: worried about for Vegas.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Choldriff Howden is going crazy this postseason. Let me give
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: you a little bit of Brett Howden. But about pups.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: If I can find him real quick, I got.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Them what you need.
• 36:12

• 36:14
  Speaker 4: What were his goal totals?
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Point to twelve?
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: This point to points.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Let's go total points.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Twenty two this year in fifty eight games, forty last
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: year in eighty games, and nineteen the year before that
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: in seventy two.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: What's his total this year in the postseason?
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Ten?
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: How many goals? Eight? He's playing way above his pay grade.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one thing.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: And listen, I'm not I'm not saying that this he's
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: gonna come back to reality. I'm saying that watch out
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: because that son of a gun's on a run. He
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: is on a run.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: The top three guys for Vegas in goals scored this
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: postseason Howden, Marner and dwarfis so what I'm gonna call him?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: What's because it sounds like dufus But I Russian.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: I think he's probably got to be from Russia. That
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: he's Russian. I'll tell you exactly where he's from.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Where's he from Disney to gil Yep?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Disney. Uh.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: The top three guys for Vegas have all combined for
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: twenty four goals. They've scored forty four the entire postseason.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: They get a lot of their heavy lifting done with
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: the tippy top of their lineup, which, juxtaposed with the Avalanche,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: they have only four guys who have not scored this postseason.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Two of them have missed half the postseason. The other
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: ones are Burns and Aiken, who played like ten minutes came.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: You know what else scares me about Vegas? After reading
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: a few these articles, their their peking Sean.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry a Sean, Jesus God.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Or Lord deliver me.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: The Knight's p K is really really good. They got
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: four shorties in these got three.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: If there's one thing that the Avs have been vulnerable about,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: it's shorties. Yeah, shorty, shorty hurts, shorty runs deep, all right,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: most painful things you can do? Free putt, Yeah, give
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: up a shorty.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: Shouty, throw a pick six, miss the field goal from
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: twenty yards out?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Sure you had to rank them?
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Those are those are missed? Two free throws, late.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Walk in a run in baseball?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Made?
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: You ever see the guy running guy three? And oh
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, just throw it down the middle.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Giving up a short side ball for him,
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: My god, give it up a shorty is such a backbreaker.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Hang on power rank those. Okay, give up a shorty
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: walk in a run, miss two free throws.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: Let's assume everything's a tie game. Okay, everything's a tiger.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Everything is a tie game. Give up a shorty walk
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: in a run, miss two free throws, three.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Putt for bogie from what ten feet?
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: And what else?
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Would you say?
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Missed extra points? Missed that point? Oh God, I would
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: say the shorty is the worst because it's not only
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: you have set.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: It out there. Power rank these five most painful?
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Use is it?
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: All?
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: These are tie games?
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Why do you do this to what you think? He's
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: right though, these are tie games. But I've got examples
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: of all of these that are the reason. Let me
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: get it out.
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: Let me get it out.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: All these are tie game situation, crunch time. It's late
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: in the game. You aren't dead, and it's playoffs, you
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: aren't dead, but it really throws a wrench in your
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: chances to win. So power rank these five shorty giving
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: up missed extra point, walk in a run, miss two
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: free throws?
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: And what else?
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Want to massy and three putt for a buggy?
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: What about a missed p K in extra time? For five?
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: Limited fibody? What about drive? What about drop the baton
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: in the four by four? What about a slow pit
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: stop in in the NASCAR race?
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: No, No, not gonna work.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna tell you right now. It is the
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: shorty because you have the advantage, you have a distinct advantage.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: You have a man advantage, and you are trying to
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: score with a man advantage. And not only do you
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: not score with that man advantage, but you give up
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: a goal. It's got to be that.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: In all other sports, everything's just is even, right. I mean,
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: in golf, three putt, you're your own dude. You're just
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: doing your thing. In baseball, it's still the same amount
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: of guys on the field, right, it hopes it's still
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: the same amount of guys on the.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Give yourself a chance.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Do you know how many in my lifetime? You how
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: many times I've screamed at a guy when I and
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: I can see he can't locate, and I'm like, just
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: throw it.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: If he hits it, if he hit if he hits
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: a granny on your good God, just don't walk him in.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: I gotta tell you now, see if you can pull
• 41:25
