• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of all, are you the most fraudulently tanned man in America?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Jeez?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I'm I have to be fully transparent that I wish
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: it was a spray stand, but it wasn't. It was
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: it was just superbly put on makeup. See.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I was trying to tell the boys here, I do
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: my own makeup one day. I'm gonna do Amy Winehouse.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: By the way, I'm gonna do the whole wings and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: all that kind of But but EJ, so you're you're
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you're so big now ABC and SPA. You got people
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to go, okay, little well deb here ooh it's a
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: little little eyeliner that you know you got you got
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: people now right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Well, the whole point, mo Is was, I was like,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: please make me look too tan rather than too pale.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I love it. I think they nailed it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, you were Seriously, you did a great job on Saturday.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Obviously I didn't call the game something watching it up
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in the booth. Good job, man, that's uh, that's a
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that's pretty good stuff there.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks man, I appreciate it. It's a lot more that
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: goes into it than you would think, just as you
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: know a casual fan or a player or a coach.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: You know, you think you just show up and you
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: have the analyst, the play by play guy and the reporter,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: but there's obviously a huge team that goes into it
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes with everybody in the truck and back
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: at the studio. So it's a huge production. And as
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: you know, a lot goes into it. You all know, really,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: so it's it's a huge team effort, and you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: from the audio people in your ear, to the producer
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: to the replay people, so many graphics to replay, all
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: those people behind the scenes allow you know, me and
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Mike on Saturday do our job to our best ability.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: So it was awesome. It was a lot of fun.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: And that's a tight spot between the benches though, like
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I might as well have been suited up as a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: player because I was literally on the Red Wings guy's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: laps of the entire game. They were probably sick of me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Well, you do an outstanding job in your maiden voyage
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: as an analysts. It's been fun to watch you grow
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: into your role. But is it tough, EJ? Is it
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: tough to analyze your old team? I mean, because you
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: have personal relationships with these guys that cannot be easy.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question, and I think the way
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I look at it is it's no different than when
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you were a teammate of them. If you saw something
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: that you thought needed to be corrected or you needed
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to hold someone accountable. That happens on a team as well,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: So there's really no I mean, there's a little bit
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: of a difference just because I'm on the other side now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: a little bit dark side of the media, so I
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: have to kind of call it like it is. But
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: it's nothing personal. Each we have a job to do
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and you have to call it like you see it,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: and it's it's no different than when I played. I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: if I had a bad period, which I had many,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: or a bad play, which I had many, the analysts
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: spoke about it, and that's just the nature of the job.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: But I think the hardest part for me is, you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: of course I played a long time in Colorado, but
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I was also calling the Detroit game too, so there
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: can't be a bias. So I tried to speak on
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the positives of each team or the negatives of each team,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and come across really down the middle, which I know
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: for you know, a lot of people is probably a
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: little bit a little bit different for them to hear
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: that from me doing radio and stuff with Connor or
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the Altitude broadcast where you're a little bit more leaning
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: have So that's probably the biggest adjustment on Saturday, at
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: least for me, was just trying to maintain just being
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: right down the middle, which is what I had to do.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Like I did a good job of that all.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: R DJ, give us your best, unbiased opinion of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Avs power play.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: What's wrong? Well, I talked to Jared Bednar before the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: game on Saturday in the afternoon. In the morning, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: talked to the coaches VIC and I asked him, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: go listen, it's got to be in your heads right
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: now almost with the guys gripping the sticks a little bit.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: He said, one hundred percent. I mean the talent is
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: off the charts, and you know, I think now they're
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: just kind of every game they go into, everyone's kind
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: of talking about the power play. It's been kind of
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: less magnified because he has have won so many games.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: But at some point it's probably going to rear. It's
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: ugly headed and hopefully it's not in the playoffs and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: they have us trained out by them. But I think
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing, and no one really has talked about it,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and I think this see Miko on the power play
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: has been the biggest reason why without a doubt, having
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that left shot, big shooter can also pass. You see
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: what he's done on the power play in Dallas. You
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: probably don't want to talk about that, but that's that's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the reality. I think missing they have power play has
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: significantly gotten worse since the departure of Rantman. The team
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: has stayed just as good, but the power play has suffered.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's something that like if they don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: get fixed, they're so talented, they're so good five on five.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: If it stays this way, can they still win a Cup?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Or does this have to improve for them to win?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, even if it improves three or four percent. Brad,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I think you're talking about them being in the bottom
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: five of the league, the middle of the pack, which
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: will win them games at some point. But you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I think there's no way it can't continue to get better.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I think it will get better. I'm sure something will
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: happen by the deadline that they'll look to addressed. But listen,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I love how their unit looks Saturday in Detroit. I
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: thought they were snapping around. They didn't score, they had
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: three four grade eight chances. That was the best it
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: looked in a long time. And I mentioned it on
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the broadcast. But the power play looked really good in Detroit,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and I think if that continues, hopefully that'll that'll be
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: a good thing for Colorado because everything else is so good.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: If the power play just improves a smidge, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you improve your team not much better.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: We were talking a little bit earlier and I said, well,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you got you know, you got an extra riety out
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: there now, and it just it makes a difference when
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you have let's say, four righties in the lefty, you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. We're how passes, workhouse scene passes
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: come across, you know, guys, for one time ors, whatever
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the case may be. But each I'll tell you this, man,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: some nights they can't get it, just can't get set up.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Some nights they get set up and they don't shoot it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Some nights they get set up and they shoot the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: snot out of it, but they get goldie a little
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: bit during a power play. You may have five or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: six shots on a power play, but you can't you
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: can't buy one, you know what I mean. So to me,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it's it's not necessarily any one thing, it's just overall,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, before I forget most happy seventieth birthday, I appreciate
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you have a great.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Days, right eligible Yes, I am.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Just kidding, and I know you're still young.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: It's all good, brother, No, But you know, it's just like, man,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it's on any given night or any given power play,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's like Goali, you know, do it. It's just it's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: just in a fun that's it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I think then you know, you start probably
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: doing things that you wouldn't do trying to get on
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the board for the power play and to make matters worse,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the Avs have allowed the most shorthanded goal excuse me,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the most yeah, shorthanded goals in the NHL, right, So
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you know they're they're pressing in that, and then teams
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: are also getting offense from that, which is you know
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the double edged short, right. But I think you're right,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Like one night, the entries are amazing, and I think
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: that's one thing they've done really good as they've entered
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the zone really well. It's just kind of finding some
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: of that rhythm to get set up in the zone
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: and teams. Teams smell blood in the water when they
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: know a power play is struggling, they're going to pressure you.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: And I've noticed that they've really pressured the Aves into
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: making some and those mistakes and listen, if the power
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: play is a tough job, and you know, I played
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: it in my career not that well most of the time,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I would say, so I can definitely understand what they're
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: going through. So I think it's just one of those
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: things where you're in a funk and then it's snowballs.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And that's where the Abs are right now.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: EJ. Just quickly. They have the Olympic break coming up
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: here after they get two more games until that break,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and the as been so good all year long. They
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: had this little hiccup here right before this break's coming.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: How much is that as just looking forward to a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: three week break, and how much of that is eighty
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: two game season You're gonna have a bad stretch occasionally.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a little bit of both, Brett. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: think there you can see the break. On the other side,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: they know how well they've played. I mean, they're not
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: going out and trying to lose. But I think, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you can have little blips in the radar, especially when
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you can sniff that break just a few games ahead.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So I think just a combination of that and missing
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Niskog and missing Taves, which is a big one. That's
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: a big one. We showed a graphic on ABC Saturday
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: record with and without Taves. It's a huge loss for
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the ASS. But you know, I think it's one of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: those things where the break won't be a bad thing
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: coming up, because obviously you get to rest some guys,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: But it's also not a great thing for the ASS either,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: because they have the fourth most amount of guys going
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: to the Olympics in the NHL, I think it's eight.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: So you're kind of holding your breath if your management
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: or the fans, because yeah, you want to see your
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: best players go represent their country in the Olympics, but
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: at the same time, you're probably having the best season
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that they've ever had and one of the best chances
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: that they've had to win the Cup, and you're kind
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of holding your breath, like, oh man, I hope mccarr
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: mkennedy these guys come back and aren't tired or heard
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: or whatever. So I think just a combination Brett of
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit worn down this time there's been
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of hockey, and then you can smell the
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: break and then I just think it's maybe a combination.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: It's just a little bit of a rough stretch and
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: the break on the other side.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Personal question for you, who does your wardrobe? You have
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the best suits and jackets.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you. It's his name is Tom Marcia Telli. He's
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: from Gents. I probably just absolutely misspoke his last name.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I have no idea how to pronounce it, but it's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Gents Playbook out of the East Coast and does a
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: great job. Get some sea fast tailors, some too pretty well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: although I might need a little bit of an adjustment
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: here soon, but no, it's great. I love to have
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: fun with the suits and get different patterns and combinations.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: And that's one thing I never really cared about when
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I played, was having, you know, a really good tailor.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: But Tom does a great job. And since I'm on
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: TV more, it's it's been fun to kind of get
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a combination of a bunch of new suits. So it's
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it's fun.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I knew it was a good paison when you need
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: good suits, a good paison on the East Coast, that's
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: all you need to say. I got the paison out there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I got a daggle that desert for me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: One last thing, I'll let you go. I appreciate good
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You got the full set of chompers. Now was there
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: anything easier about not having the teeth up front?
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Easier? Now? Great question again, Man, your questions have been
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: way better than mosures. And this is that a daily occurrence?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: It's pretty much pretty much every day.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kidding. You guys are the best. I love
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: listening to you. But yeah, so getting these new teeth
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: has been nothing short but a huge pain in the ass.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, my mouth hurts almost daily. You know, I
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: am struggling with my bite. I got to wear this
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: new retainer at night so I don't grind them a
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: special toothpaste. I got this special flass. I'm just like, oh,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: it's never ending. I just missed the gap tooth. But
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: oh it's been good. I mean, it's it's nice to
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: kind of not have to hide the smile because you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you go somewhere sometimes back in the day when I
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: had the missing teeth and people are like, oh my god,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: who is this guy. He's gonna rob our store or
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: something like that. So now I have a nice pearly
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: white smile and it's good for TV. And then you
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: combine that with that amazing can I had Saturday, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: it's just perfect, just perfect of fakeness.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: No, but I'll say it's cool. It's cool. It's cool
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that you had a teammate that you could talk to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: after the game. We can actually talk today twice. I
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: thought it was pretty cool. Man, you did a great job.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Keep it going. We'll see you back here in town
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: on our set as you continue to climb nationally. Buddy, good,
• 12:43
