  Speaker 1: Radio NOTT two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Cannot lose tonight. They can't. There's no way. There's no way.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Minnesota doesn't have a backcourt. They don't.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: You have two stars on your team that are miles
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: better than anybody else.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Can't happen.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Not saying it's going to be easy, but I will
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: still say it'll be utterly embarrassing.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: If you lose tonight, I will be embarrassed.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: It will be the loudest, most chaotic, most savage arena
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets will ever play in, YEP, in the history
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: of the Nuggets organization, ever since this team was born,
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: They'll never be an environment that crazy. I guarantee it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Can you shut them up early? Can you go up
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: fifteen in the first and really just take the air
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: out of that place.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: It's still not going to make me feel any better.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I have the Nuggets up nineteen at one point in
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: this series.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm saying, if you want to if true now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I think no, Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo and then
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: being up fifteen probably is a little bit different, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: it would take the air out of the building.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I understand, Brett. Is this team the kind of team
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: that makes you feel that easy when it has a
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: big leader?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yep, Brett, No, But I think this circumstance is different.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: As well.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: What's going to happen is is it going to be
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Julius Randall goes crazy and brings them back in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: game as soon move.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Jaden, if you could try to think of all the
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: things that are tight in this world, got a few
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: things in mind there. Everything puckered like the most puckered
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: thing you can think of. If you get up double
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: digits on them early, the pucker factor for Minnesota is
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: going to be significant.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Well see, that's why Game five was more dangerous at
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: times in Game six because in Game.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Five, by the way, my mom's dead, so stopping Sorry, Vick,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: what oh I had to pray about it. It's a
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: preemptive strike.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's a good one.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Game five was dangerous because it felt like, you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Minnesota still had room for air, and they have room
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: for air tonight as well. However, they know they know
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: if it comes back here, it's over. They know this.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: They know the winner of game six is gonna win
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: this finally or seven.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Let me go back to let me go back to
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: the two thousand and one Stanley Cup final. The New
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Jersey Devils had a three games to two lead going
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: home Jersey. Games six in Jersey aves no Peter Forsburg
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Spleen gone and play so on, and the Avs go
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: in there and they just stick it right to them,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: stick it to them to force of Game seven in Denver,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: and Bobby Holeek remember this like it was yesterday. Bobby
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: hole Leak is crying in his locker. Ryan, he knew,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: you know why, because he knew all you're doing is
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: wasting gas and time flying back to Denver. You're not
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: gonna win the Stanley Cup in that place. If you're
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: not gonna beat Borg in company in that place.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: What about the history that Minnesota has done it before,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: has come here and won before in that game.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Not like this, not without Anthony Edwards, not without two
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: really good players being out of the lineup. Like I
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: really think everything that we can take in the past
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: is Nolan void. Considering that, I mean, it would be like, hey,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets have done this and this and this, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: we're talkingalking about that with Jokic out of the lineup.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Intriguing to hear by the way that Aaron Gordon has
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: been upgraded to questionable again.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like this back and forth. I don't look.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I'm all for all hands on deck and all of that,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: but I've told you, Aaron's got to be healthy, healthy,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: not kind of healthy, not partially healthy. He's got to
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: be healthy healthy. But I guess, as a coach, if
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a player comes up to you and says I want
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to play, what do you do? Do you really just
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: say no?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Or what the problem with those kind of injuries though?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Is it just takes one play, one move, you know, one,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: and you're right back to square one and now you've
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: got to start the rehab process all over again.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've said it before.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I give him full credit for being somebody that's trying
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to put his teammates in front of his own personal health,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: especially after watching I mean, he's got a calf injury.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: What happened two games ago?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: You watch somebody just rip off a shotgun blast in
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: his calf, and now he's got an achilles tear, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you know that that's a risk for you, and you're.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't care. I want to be there for
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: my guys.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Admirable thing to do, but you need to be able
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to play at a certain standard.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: You have to be effective. Yeah, you can't just go
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: on out there waste minutes, dude, not in this game.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And I know that it's not his intention, mos, And
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: he is a very important piece of this team, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I know that I.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Admire his his tenacity, I admire his will as a
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: as a professional, I admire that to the degree. Yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: but sometimes you've got to save the player from himself
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: and save the team from that player, and say, look, man,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: if you can't, if you can't be a we've got
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: a guy who went for twenty, right, we're gonna have
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: to switch things up a little bit. But this guy
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: went for twenty last game. And maybe it won't be
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: him tonight, but it's got to be somebody, you know, don't.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: You don't want him, You don't want him to hurt
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: you because he can't be a home.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Maybe you bring him off the bench.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Maybe maybe yeah, yeah, maybe.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: You bring him off the bench. Spencer gets first crack
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: at it because he really came up big. But if
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: you need something more. Then ag comes off the bench.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I will say this and I know this number by heart.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Thirteen and two eighty five thirteen dash to eighty five.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: That is the record teams being down three to one
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: in a best of seven to come back and win
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: that best of.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Seven to the thirteen of the Nuggets, the last two have.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Been the Denver Nuggets. If they could pull it off again,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: they will represent the last three to do it. Now
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: the two times they did it, they didn't in the
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: bubble where there were no fans. True, the fans will matter.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: The fans will matter tonight. It's going to be insanity.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I can't help but think of a famous scene at
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: the risk of really upsetting Vic. You ever see the
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: movie Glenngary Glenn Ross. Yes, yep, it's just seeing where
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Alex Baldwin comes in and they're all sitting around the
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: sales office, right and he does his routine right from
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Richard Murray rips a new one and he says it
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: just the win is out there waiting for you. The
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Tea Wolves are They're giving you a win with all
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: their injuries and everything else.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Right, feel that way, and if are you gonna take it?
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Are you man enough to take the win away from
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Minnesota because they've got two of their best players out
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: of the lineup. And if the Nuggets can't you're a favorite, Vick,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: You're a favorite in the game, You're a favorite in
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: the series.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: And if the Nuggets can't win, frankly, there are no excuses.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: No, I completely agree.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're already heard.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Watson art doesn't matter, like it is not remotely equivalent
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: to what the t Wolves are dealing with.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And we know how important ag is.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: We've talked about it at length, like his health is
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: directly correlated to their shot of winning a title or not.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: And he wasn't healthy in this series. It's not Anthony
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Edwards being missing.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: It's not that. How do you see this game playing
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: out tonight? And let's just start right here. This is
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: the first segment of the show.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Who do you think wins the Nuggets?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I think they would do you how do you see
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: it playing out? I think it's gonna be a battle
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the game and they pull away.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna come down with the last shot.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I just don't think enough. I don't think they're good
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: enough anymore.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: I don't think so either, and it's.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Through no fault of their own.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Like the the te Wolves had you dead to rights,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you were done, okay that series when they had all
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the momentum in Game four they were going to.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Win, they had you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: But then it's as bad as the de Vincenzo one was.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I think that was survivable for them. It's when it
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: went out and you saw his knee bend backwards, You're like, Okay, well,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: now what are you gonna.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Do if it's not torn. It's certainly that thing that
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Joker had where the bone bruises is the exact same
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: thing exactly.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: It's the exact same thing, and he knew he wasn't
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: coming back. So it's just I don't know. I do
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: see this thing being like I think the Nuggets do
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: win pretty comfortably, and they should. I know the atmosphere
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: is gonna be crazy, but I'm when I just talk
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: to you, this isn't a regular season game against Memphis
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: with you know, three weeks left to go in the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: regular season. It's the playoffs with your lives on the line.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: And I know somehow this has sort of shifted into
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Minnesota despite the fact that if they lose tonight they
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: get another game, they're gonna be the most desperate team.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't feel that way. Like if I'm David Adelman,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I'm still preaching. I don't care what's going on with
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the other team. You guys lose, We're done.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: I don't like this either. I know there will come
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: a time to talk about it. Today is not that
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: time we're gonna talk about the game. But all of
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: a sudden, I had stories to show up on my
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: timeline regarding Peyton Watson as an RFA.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you knew those were coming.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: I don't like that at all. Right now, I don't.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: I don't like the whole The whole damn thing doesn't
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: doesn't sit well with me. So I've got that stirring
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: in the back of my head as I talk about
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: this series. There will come a time. There will come
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: a time to talk about it. There will come a
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: time to see what the Nuggets can do. Can they match,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: do they have to trade whatever it may be. That's
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: if they even want that. I don't know. This bothers me.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: He restrained his hamstring?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: How long ago? You mean, like in rehab when he's
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: rehabbing it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Well, he originally pulled it. What was it back in February?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: He originally pulled it, came back, pulled it again, was rehabbing,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: pulled it again.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So just yeah, go.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Going back through what his his sort of timeline has been.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: So he was three pulls most three pols? How many
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: pools are allowed?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: He pulled his hamstring?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: That's nelly, shoot hang on in on February fourth, just
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: pre All Star break. He came back on March twenty second,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: played in five games then and then repulled it against
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Utah and April first.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Five games in three months, three pools, five games, almost
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: as many pools as games.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: Wow, a lot of polls by the way. You know, hey, Brett,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: In the NHL, if you signed somebody's RFA away and
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: they stay with you, you send them a qualifying offer,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: right if you will like not to not to match that,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: you get compensation. Did you know that?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I did know on that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's why they're restricted. What do you get in
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: the NBA if somebody signs.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Your RFA, is it just nothing to match?
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: You get nothing?
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Nothing?
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no draft picks, no players, no money, no nothing.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: You get a pat on the back and say good,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: good try.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: All you get.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: All you get is the ability to match the US
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: get any compensation, okay whatsoever.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: NFL you get compensation too.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: The reason why the Peyton Watson RFA story is a
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: big story in the NBA, big big story is because
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: the NBA realizes the Nuggets are up against it and
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: trying to match whatever other teams offer, and if there's
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: a bidding war that offers gonna be insane. According to
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: that latest story, there are three teams involved. If you
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: get bidding wars involved, it's gonna spike that RFA value
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: to a point where if the Nuggets try to match,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to do some adjoining moves to make
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: it happen. Yeah, and the rest of the league knows
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: there is not much room for that on this roster.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: You know what's crazy about him is I don't know
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: how many guys this has happened for, but let's be honest,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Peyton Watson has been a decent role player here over
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the last few years. Come in play some tough defense,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: maybe knocked down a shot or two. He is going
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: to get paid, like some serious cash off of a
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: month of basketball.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it works sometimes.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Like he's he over the the full breadth of his
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: career and what he's accomplished. People are gonna look at
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: about thirty days yep, and say, this is why I
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: think he's one of thirty million dollars.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: He's only twenty three years old.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Can I give you a prime comp? It was right
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: here in Denver. Let me think what sport NBA.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: An NBA comp somebody who shined short term and made
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: it to well, Jeremy Grant.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: There's one. Well, he's shined a long been a good
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: player for a long time. But hang on a second.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: When the Nuggets signed Michael Porter Junior to thirty million
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: dollars per year, people are like, oh my god, thirty
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: per and what did we always say? Hey, man, if
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: you don't do.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: It, what somebody else?
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Somebody not somebody? You probably have three or four five
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: teams willing to pay him thirty per and so you
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: had to do it. It's the same kind of story with
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: p One. It doesn't matter if it's a small sample size.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if he shined for thirty days. If
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: somebody's gonna pay him thirty million dollars, he'll have more
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: than one suitor at that price.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong, though, and you're already paying
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: CB that bread. The porter stuff was less about is
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: he talented enough for the money. It was more about
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: is he healthy enough? But I'm just talking about if
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you don't do it, somebody else will three oh three
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: five O four nine two five. Keep this in mind, everybody.
• 14:55

  Speaker 3: this is a chance for Minnesota on home ice to
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: close out the series and move on toy matchup with
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the GAVs in round two.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: That's correct? Did you watch before we get there? And
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: I want to get in depth on that. Did you
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: watch anything last night? Did Jenny?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I did well?
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I'm an idiot. Let me tell you why I'm dumb.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: The Canadians and Lightning played a hell of a game.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Montreal wins three to two. They're going home with a
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: three to two series lead over John Cooper and company.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: How crazy is that?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Pretty crazy?
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: I couldn't stay awake for the the overtimes for the
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Mammoth and the Golden Nachtie. I'm basically falling asleep, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I tell my lovely wife I don't have the time
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: to watch these knuckleheads go to ot I can't. I
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: can't do this. And not only that, they went to
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: double ot Vic the Mammoth. Are you ready for this?
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: The Mammoth had a four to three lead and they
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: gave up the game tying goal with fifty two point
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: seven seconds left ouch and then they go to double
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: ot and lose on a short handed goal. It blows.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: It just blows your doors off. I elected to watch
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: the Penguins and the Flyers like a total moron, because
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: that series is very interesting to me. I mean, Philly's
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: got a chance to advance on for the first time
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: in fifteen years or whatever it is, right, Yeah, this
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: pretty pretty big stuff.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Did you watch Philly chuck their sticks into the crowd
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: after they won overtime?
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: So, but Vic, and I'm texting with with my hockey boys,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: not not you guys. Yeah, the other side. You have
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: two sets, and I'm watching this game, and.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: You said he can get any boy he wants. So
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: there you go.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: True, Yeah, true?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Your code switching last night?
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: What? Yeah, I don't even know what that means. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I'm watching this stupid game and it compared to like
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: what we've seen out of the Ams and even other series,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: it's like everybody's going like it's seventy percent there. Both
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: teams are playing to not lose. And I finally said
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: to my to the guys, I'm like, I get that,
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: but is anybody playing to try to win the friggin game?
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Does anybody want to win or do you just not
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: want to lose? Cautious, I mean it was, I mean painful. Vic.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I'm like, look, I like good shut down hockey as
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: much as anybody. You know, low scoring games or no whatever,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: but at least try to win, which is why I
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: want to talk about Minnesota. When we get to overtime,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: what do I say? The Wild don't even try to win.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: All they try to do is play keep away to
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: get to the shootout. Sure, that's what I try to
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: win the damn game morons anyway.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: See, but I have a problem because I was talking
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: about Minnesota and Dallas and the appetizer and some guy
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: yelling at me because I didn't want Dallas, and he is,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: why are you so scared of Dallas?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Something? So scared?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: If the Avs got matched up with Dallas in this
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: upcoming round, I think the Avs would win. But I'm
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: telling you right now that over the last couple of years,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: there's been one team that every time they play against
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: each other, that game goes into overtime or a shootout,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: and you split the series, and you do this and
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: you do that, and it's always back and forth, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: it's always close and it's never comfortable, and that's Dallas,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: and I just would.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Prefer not to do that again.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: And this guy was in some of these hard oh's,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: who's this guy?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: He said he wasn't listening to me anymore, that he
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: was turning the champions bout.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's one of.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: These iron sharpens, iron guys that I'll just never understand
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: in sports. I'll never get it. I'm like, that's what
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the regular season's for. That's when you hone your sword
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: when the postseason comes along. You don't think that the
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: ideal path for the Broncos last year in the playoffs
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: was not play anybody for a week, play against a
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: tough team in Buffalo, and then face Drake Main the
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: AFC Championship Game. Would you rather have that or go
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: through Burrow in the wild card, Josh Allen in the
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Divisional and Patrick Mahomes and ThEC.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: You're the guy claiming here that it was good that
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets play Minnesota in the first round.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Very different. I'll explain why.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what the Nuggets were and I kind
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: of wanted to find out.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure. I still i'm not sure what they.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Are iss, Nope, nope, because you aren't let me finish
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: the point. I don't know and didn't think the Nuggets
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: were good enough for a championship anyway, So I'm like,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: play a tough team and let's just see the Avs.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I am forget.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: No, I'm one thousand percent sure that they're a championship team,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: So give me the least path of resistance for them,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: because I know what that team's capable of. There's no
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: question about it, and that's the difference. And it just
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: feels like there Nelly reminded me. I don't know if
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: you guys have seen this. It just reminds me of
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: those guys that are like, would you rather have five
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars right now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Or go to dinner with jay Z? And you're like,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: are you stupid?
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: You can just give me the cash. I don't need
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: to have dinner with jay Z because I'm not going
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: to be a rap star, okay, but this guy he
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: reminded me of this guy. I don't know if you've
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: seen this podcast with this Maroon.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: My day is six am to noon and I'm not crazy.
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: You're crazy for thinking it takes twenty four hours just
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: like some dude in a cave did three hundred years ago.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: My second day starts at noon and goes till six pm.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: That's day two, and then the next day is six
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: pm to midnight. What I've done now is I have
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: changed a manipulated time. I now get twenty one days
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: a week. Stacked it up over a month. I'm gonna
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: kick your butt. Stacked it up over a year, your toast,
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: stack it up over five years. My entire life is
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: different than it would have been otherwise.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: The guys who want the hardest path to a championship
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: is that guy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: Uh, my first day is six am to noon, and I.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Don't know is he When does he pee?
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why I said one of his days, he's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: just sleeping. That seems like a bad day.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Wait when does he eat? But here's the thing, when
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: does he get down?
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: No?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: But here's my favorite part. Listening again to this beginning.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: My day is six am to noon, and I'm not crazy.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: You're crazy for thinking it takes twenty four hours, just
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: like some dude in a cave did three hundred years ago.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: You all those cave men that existed three hundred years ago,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: you know, in the seventeen hundreds those cavemen that were
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: oute there. The other reading books, it was it was
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: just like, you know, the cavemen were there and then
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: the American Revolution happened.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: That's correct.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: All I'm all I'm saying is bypass all that Egyptian stuff.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I don't care what Dallas has looked like in this
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: series because I know what it's looked like against the Avs,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: and I don't want it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I just don't.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: And it's not that if they faced off against them,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be confident in the Avs.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: It would be unpreferable.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: It would be one of those situations where you've got
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: this guy who plays for the Dallas Stars. It was, uh,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: it's a number he whears.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I think ninety six names, Nico Ranton and that guy.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, AnyWho, Uh, that guy's some people calm the move.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Well, what that scores a game winner in Game seven
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: against you? And Andrew hopes and dreams that sort of thing.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: That dude's got one goal in this series?
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: One a doing. Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Remember when Miko had no goals in like three games
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: and then had like three of them.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: For some reason, these guys will I know the reason.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: They get all start it up, you know what I mean,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: and then they just have herculean efforts. Yeah, they're confident
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: against then they throw punks off guys skates and the
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: ricochet in and it will look at me with a
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: hat drink. I threw up one of puck off his
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: skating and I got an empty.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: The worst part, the worst part about the worst part
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: about you. You're such an excuse maker, you really are.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: It's it's sick to hear your excuses. The guy came
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: up big in a key series, came up huge. He
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: beat him. Yeah, he beat you and all you do,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: and that's what's so off pudding about you. You just
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: make excuses.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah you should.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: You should be off putting by the way.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: I just don't celebrate. I don't celebrate. I don't celebrate
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: it like you guys do. I don't feel the need
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: to continue to run celebrate.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: It's acknowledging a reality.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Acknowledging the guy beat you. It's it's okay sometimes you lose,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: but for you put it off as he you just
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: got so fortunate. No, No, he did it, and he
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: did it at the most critical time.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: He did it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: You're right, Vick, he did it the most critical time
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: against my team, and he's a total stud and yep,
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm with Brett. I don't want that
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: on he wanted. I don't even want to entertain the
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: thought of that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: So I mean, just like you have to be honest
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: with Jaden McDaniels. He talked to talk and then he
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: came out and dunked on you.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Yep, and then it's up to you to respond to it,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like that, now it becomes
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: about you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I completely agree, but what I don't disagree What I
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: don't disagree with you also on trying to get my
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: agrees and disagrees lined up. I want the path at
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: least resistance to the Stanley Cup final. Yeah. The problem
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: is that path, whatever that looks like, whatever it looks like.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Trouble is that path always looks easier, and then it's
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: always there's always something there lurking that you're not aware of. Right,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: it always looks easier than it then it could be.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: But you got it. I mean, like, for example, you
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: don't know what Vegas might pose if if they meet Vegas.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, do they have more energy? Now that you
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: have no idea what Minnesota. I mean, Minnesota scares me
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: as much as Dallas. Minnesota's got players, man.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: They dude, you don't have to tell me. I saw
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: your Boldie tweet from the other day. I saw that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: I agree with you. Matt Boldie's a hell of a player.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Coroka Prisof may not be the best player in the league,
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: but he's the highest paid player in the league. And
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: that's because he's damn good. They've got Quinn Hughes. They've
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: got this young goalie who's playing with house money. He
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: doesn't know what, he doesn't know what. He's awesome well
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: and scary.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: And somebody brings up the idea that.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: You know past histories and how that can infect your
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: brain on how you perceive the current year series and
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: how they're gonna go. This isn't like you know what
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: the Lakers had back in twenty twenty three, or it
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't about what happened over the last couple years.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: It's about thirty years of just like.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Bad things happening in series against them. I always take
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: like the more recent history, and in the recent history,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: you playing Dallas has been a wild ride of emotional
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: highs to a depression at the very end of it.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: That's what it is. And the same thing happened in
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: the regular season. If you played I mean moj during
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: the regular season in these matchups, was it hard to
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: tell which team was better in some of those games.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: It's back and forth over time, shootouts, shootout win, shootout loss.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: It's what happens. And I just I would rather not,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: That's all I'd rather not. And it's not to say
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: that Minnesota is easy.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: They aren't. Minnesota's really good.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the guy listened to a lot of hockey talk,
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of hockey talk.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Monkey Talkah, tell me about your honky tonk children.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Are you done?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're right, because we're the ones who go off
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: on these stupid tangents three times a segment. You're right,
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: my apology.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Don't tell my heart, my heart, I'm a dork.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: No what I'm saying. What I'm saying.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Have you seen Billy Ray by the way, Yeah, dude,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: you gotta let whatever visions of your youth, you gotta
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: let that go.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Bro, you're just you're an old man now, just being old.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: You know who he's dating?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, who is it? Tell me? Tell me Tom Elizabeth Hurley.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: Why Elizabeth Hurley. Yes, she's beautiful. What is wait?
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Is this Hannah Montana's dad?
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know who Elizabeth Hurley is?
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Why, I don't know. I don't what to tell you, bro.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: My point is, let me get back to let me
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: get back to my hockey talk. I listened to a
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: lot of honkey talk. Everybody just thinks like, oh god,
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: the Ala Kings were the crappiest team to ever make
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. Man, hey, stink dab and in some ways
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: they they were because they obviously couldn't score, right, I mean, well,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: the Avs played great defensively, so don't get me wrong.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: But Logan O'Connor came out yesterday and the media availability
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: after practice and he said this, and I'm not Nelly,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: it's it's buried in about six minutes of stuff. He
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: is quote, I don't think people give LA enough credit.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: You know, four games, people are like, oh, the swamped
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: them was easy. It was very, very challenging to get
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: to the to the net front create offensive. It was
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: the Kings. Jared Bednard. Do you think Jared Bednard knows
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: friggin hockey? That's the question of the name, because Jared
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: friggin Bednard know friggin hockey, I know talks. Does he
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: know hockey talk? They answer is yes. He came out
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: the other day before Game four and he goes, look, man,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: he goes, if we're fortunate enough to advance, and you
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: always gotta preface it. I like that he said this
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: may be the most difficult defensive team we see the
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: entire postseason. And he may be right about that. So
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: while I look at Minnesota and they're gonna present challenges
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: to talk about my boldies and these Hueses and the Felinos,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: and Zuccarello's back and he's playing his butt off and
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: whatever you any guy you want to throw out for Mini,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: that may be the case. I mean, they've got very
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: good players, and Dallas too, Michel, I guarantee you these
• 29:42

  Speaker 5: Pitt was so good at it. Hey, Dann Careber has
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: a good idea on the old twitch feed. How about
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: from now on we do like a former NFL reporter,
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna get into it, and I'm gonna come
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: up with playlists to sort of drop hints. Two you guys,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: how about how about if I just come up with
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: like playlists.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, I don't even know if I'm gonna

• 33:53
  Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna drop a Spotify playlist for you, maybe
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: the certain song titles that tell a tale.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: You know what I love by the way. I saw
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: this on Twitter yesterday.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: That would that help? I mean, would that be? Would
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: that be? Okay? I listen to this.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I think this is Look.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know who this person is, but this is
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: a fabulous tweet. It's from Bizarro. I don't know that's
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: her name. So Wedgewood can't win the Vesna because he
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: plays behind the car who can't win the Norse because
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: he plays with McKinnon, who can't win the Heart because
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: he plays with mccarr and Natus, who are coached by Bednar,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: who can't win the Jack Adams because he coaches mccarr
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: and McKinnon.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: I know that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: So everybody has a good year.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Good years are negated by the other guys having good
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: years because they're only having good years because the other
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: guys are having good just too great.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: You're all around too good, and so because you're so
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: good at every position, at every every turn, you're gonna
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: lose out on all these postseason a War.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it'd be like, well, Mahomes can't win
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: MVP because he's coached by the best coach in the league,
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Andy Reid, right and Andy and Chris Jones can't win
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: to fit point of the year because the offense puts
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: him in such a good position. I mean, it's just
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: a bunch. It's just a bunch. It's just a bunch
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: of crap. The voting in the NHL is ridiculous sometimes.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: You know what this reminds me of. Do you remember
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: when you and I said, Hey, Cale mccarr is gonna
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: win the Norse, And then we told Moser about it,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: that are you going to go to the proceedings the
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: ceremony and he and the rest of the crew decided
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: to go sailing that day.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Do you remember that? Yep?
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I do, say, takes me away to it. He was
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: so certain that he would not win. I believe he.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I believe he told us it would be a waste
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: of time.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Bro, That's what he said, exactly.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I think that's the case. I think you threw a bro.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: I threw a bro at the end the time, Bro, Well,
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: because I did not, I honestly did not count on
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: the voters to do the right thing. I had. No,
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: I don't have faith. Do you see? Do you see
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: why I have a lot of lack of faith sometimes
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: in NHL voting.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Who are the NHL voters?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Well, it depends on what it's for. I mean, for
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: the Vesna, it's the NHL GMS, I believe.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: But you have a vote.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: I have a vote Jack Adams correct, which I honestly,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: if Ben Nord doesn't win, and I know he's not
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: gonna he's not.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: But if he doesn't win, the Jack Adams a year
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: that he had his team number one from November first
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: to now, I don't get what are we doing? What's
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: the vote anyway? I just that is insane.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: So here's a breakdown of who votes for these awards.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Ready, hey, hey on one second, one second, let's let's
• 36:32

  Speaker 5: a regular season award.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: How'd that work out?
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: I was wrong? I was happily wrong.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Play it again, why don't you go to the awards ceremony?
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: And he drops a why.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you go to that? Because isn't Kale up

  Speaker 4: for the Norris? Isn't He's not gonna win it?
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Roman Yosi's gonna win it. It's a regular season awards.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: No, it's it's more towards the beginning, Nelly, it's right
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: when he mentions, why don't you go to the awards
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: show tonight instead of number two?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: No, you go to the here's what you go to?
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: You go to that awards party that the NHL is holding,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: hosted by Touch.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: That was very dismissive of me, wasn't it. That was
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: very I'm sorry, that was very dismissive. And also I
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: take full responsibilities.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: So that was That was twenty twenty two. And by
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: the way, this proves to me nothing ever changes. Just
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: listen to the very beginning of this clip.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: First of all, I'm gonna get in a boat today.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna get I don't care, wanter.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: Ye I was talking about some bs, and Vic says,
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: I don't care.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: See the difference is when I go on these road
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: trips I work. You guys just go.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: On, Oh my tail pipe, dude. And this is four
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: years later. Man, it's four years. It's four years. Can
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: you believe that was four years ago? Almost? That's crazy.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: So here's who votes, Vick. You want to know who votes? Yeah,
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: So the Professional Hockey Writers Association PHWA. They vote on
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: the Heart, the Norris, the Calder, the Selki, the Lady
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: Bing and the Masterson. Okay, yeah, nhlgm's vote on the Vesna.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: And I can't believe if I was an nhl GM,
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: can I defend Scott Wedgewood here for a second. If
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: I was an nhl GM, I would love the story
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: of Scott Wedgwood, who, at the age of thirty three,
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: is playing by far, the best hockey of his life.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Renaissance.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't give a rats rip that he didn't
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: have sixty two starts this year. Whatever the case may be.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: The guy was the best goalie in the damn league.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: I would love that story. I would at least throw
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: him a freaking bone. Here with sharks with the laziers
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: on their hands, how does he do that? It's pretty close, Okay,
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: throw them a freaking bone. I mean, at least nominate
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: him for I mean, don't win. But it's just a
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: total joke. So the Players Association votes on the Ted
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: Lindsay obviously McKinnon got screwed on that. The broadcasters nerds
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: like me and Connor and Riker, we voted the Jack
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Adams and then the messy a leadership award. That's uh,
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: the NHL does that, and then you have your automatic
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: awards like the Art Ross that's in the reshard. This
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: is just most accumulation.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: So I thought writers, By the way, I want to
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: apologize publicly to writers. Not all writers are arrogant. I
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: went on the PhD show yesterday and just went off
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: on writers. A lot of writers are.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Why not all of them?
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: I don't men. I think Himyway was kind of a rarrogant.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: No, I'm talking about sports writers.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Oh but what what's the start of this?
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Do you?
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, Brett? That f Scott Fitzgerald real jerk.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: He was No. I mean I I called into this
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: show because they were wondering why we were getting so
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: much flak from somebody wrote some writer wrote something about
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: the radio station and called a sophomoric and stupid. And
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: I called in and I said, don't these people in
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: media understand and how this works, how different mediums work.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Don't they get it? And and writers sports writers, And
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to offend all of you. I'm friends
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: with many of you listening, and you know how much
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: I admire your work, But there are a lot of
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: sports writers out there who are so condescending and arrogant
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: toward everybody else in this medium.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You know it.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think that they quite understand that calling it.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's our show or station whatever,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: but if it was our show.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: You called it sophomoric and what was it stupid? Thank you? Yeah,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: it's kind of my goal here. Yeah, so I'm striving for.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: You are literally too stupid to insult.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we do, you know, sprinkle in some serious.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: But I got into sports because I didn't want to
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: be serious about everything in life. I got into sports
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: because it's not all Oh my God, this is the
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: most important thing in the world. And that is my
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: criticism on a lot of you sports writers, not all
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: of you, a lot of you.
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: You think what you do really changes the world. I
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: don't change a damn thing. Yeah, that's the difference.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: There is a way too serious tone with some writers,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: sometimes way too serious like this is real life. It's like,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: not really, if the Nuggets don't win this series, I'll
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: be mad.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: It would suck.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: My life's kind of the same afterwards. No, I gotta
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: be honest. Only a lot of it changes. I should
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: get more sleep. That'd be weird. All right, Well, why.
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: Did you say that to me? It's true?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Three zh three five ho four.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Speaking of the Nuggets, I do want to get back
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: to this, and I mean, really, what's the biggest fear
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: for tonight? Because it doesn't feel like any individual on
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: the tea wolves. It doesn't feel like things will go
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: wrong if Jaden McDaniels scores forty you know what I mean, Like,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: that's not the fear. The fear seems to be an
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: environment more than anything else.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: You're right about that. In VIC, I've got a theory
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: that I want to test out on you all right,
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: will you be the guinea pig police.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: By the way, we were the guinea pig yesterday on
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Family Feud, and as I made my way around town,
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: people that listened to that segment, they defended us most.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: They thought a lot of those topics and a lot
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: of those answers we had were perfectly reasonable, and we
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: got screwed by the voters.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: You know, last night probably sports right now. I helped
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: my wife make dinner. That's what I like to do.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: She says, you can be this sticker stacker guy. We
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: made the kebobs last night, so I had to peel
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: and chop into chunks to zucchinis.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Geat it all one bite. I did not, but that
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: but the topic, the topic of.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: The feud, She's like, oh, because she didn't listen. You
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: know what her number one answer was, what's a vegetable
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: that's you can't eat one bite? What's the number one answer?
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Carrot?
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: That's what she said. I said, Well, I said zucchini,
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: because to me, that's a very logical, because you're stupid.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: That's why I scrabbled by my wife.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: After this day
