• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, any any coach, any young parent who has
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a young kid who's trying to get into baseball, wants
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to improve their skills. This is the place for them.

  Speaker 1: So that's great. Alex.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Congratulations And then you for me encourage on this journey
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and keep it going with these weekly shows. I think
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it's making a difference for a lot of people that
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: are listening. So I appreciate you always joining me. And
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you know what, are weak to join because a the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yanks just snapped their six game losing Streek.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Look everybody's complaining. Look the Nationals had an eleven game
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: losing Street stap, So it's.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Not that bad.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Louis.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's not that bad. Let's face it. Sports overreaction is prevalent,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and everybody was overreacting about this, about this losing streak,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and yes, it's it was they just didn't hit if
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: if it was some other issues, and there was some
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: other issues. They still can't run the basis. Uh, it's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: amazing that they're so successful and they're just and I'm
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be kind, they're average at the fundamentals. It's amazing
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that the Yankees are so successful on a year and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a year out basis. But they're gonna be okay. You know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll be fine.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I know you're gonna sit here and say that on
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Juneteenth it's going to be the Yankees Division, which I believe,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: but hey, it is.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a prediction on June teens right now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win the division by at least six or
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: seven games.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: And they're gonna ride in there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens, because look, I know it's June,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: but the Rays look pretty strong all of a sudden.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, now, I'm gonna tell you one thing about
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the Rays. The Rays are playing seventy five percent of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: their games. At home at Steinbrenner Field in the first
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: half of the year because of the heat and the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: rain that comes to the Tampa area in the summertime.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: After the last sixty games, I think like forty seven
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of them are on the road or something. And don't
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hold me to those numbers, but most of the games
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in the second half of the year on the road.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The Rays are amazing how they are able to make
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: chicken salad at chicken feathers. I'm starting to believe Kevin
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Cash can only oreo feathers.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Considering they were down to eight nothing yesterday and came
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: back to wind twelve to eight.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And you know, you talk about the Orioles, they're done.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're twelve games under five hundred or eleven
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: games on five hundred. They got a long way to go,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: even I I let.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Me tell you, I mean, if you blow an eight
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: nothing lead like that, the interim should be replaced by
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: another manager. But that's that's another story for another day.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: But no, Yangs looked better today. Look, I don't really
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: care about seasons, you know, mid season series like this,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: but if they were to get swepped again, that would
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: be a little alarmed.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So they had a win today.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I know it's early to say I must win, but
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you need to defend your turf a little bit.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So well again, now I'm gonna I'm gonna throw out.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You know, if some Mets fans want to panic, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: think they have reasons to reason to. Today. I just
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: saw that that Max Chranics been put on disabled list
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: after Tyler McGill was put on disabled let's three days ago,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: after last Thursday. You know, as I said, Cardi Singa
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: is out, they have five guys. It looks like they're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gonna have five guys on the disabled list. They bringing
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: up somebody from Sarahcuse to pitch tomorrow night. Sean Mania
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: hasn't pitched the game yet. Who knows when he's gonna pitch.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I don't care about Frankie Montos. That was a waste
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of seventeen million dollars. I've never been a Frankie Montos fan,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: even in the days when he was with the A's.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: The Mets.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: This is a real dangerous time for the Mets when
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they're playing Atlanta for three, Philly for three, and then
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: come home to the City Field to play Atlanta for four,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and the Braves may not be able to make up
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that horrible start that they had, but they're still a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: dang they're a very good team. And I'm gonna say, well,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I thought Chris Sale was done with all his injuries,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you know, two years ago when the Braves obtained him
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: from the Red Sox, I said why. And last year,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in his first year with the Braves, he won the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Cy Young Award. He's off to a great start again
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: this year, and he pitched a great game against the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Mets last night. The Mets confidence, which was riding high
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: into that Tampa Bay series when they won fifteen out
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of nineteen, has definitely been shaken. And every every Mets
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: fan has a right to be worried right now.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And you know, Louis met fans may may be aware,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: but maybe the average listeners not. The Mets are bit
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: banged up right now, overall, aren't they. They're banged up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They are banged up, and you know, hey, it happens
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to every team during the course of the year. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it couldn't happen at a worst time for the Mets,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: with these with these two series against the Braves and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: against Philly this weekend. Couldn't happen at the worst time
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: they got. You know, like I said, they got to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: bring up a picture from Syracuse to fill in tomorrow
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: night for well.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Two pictures I'm hearing. So that's kind of where they're
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: at right now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, they have they have some challenges. They do
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: have some challenges. One team that doesn't have a challenge
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and accept and met every challenge are the two times
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Stanley cuff back to back champion Florida Panthers.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Who I didn't.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: We're going to get there at some point, because obviously
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that's the story of the week, is the Panthers defending
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and we are. I'm going to put out a call
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to Kenny Albert and see if you can join us
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: next week to be talking about what it would like
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to be on that call of the Panthers winning again.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Sam Bennett a much deserving MVP. But I look at
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the Oilers, they sort of squandered it away.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, am I wrong to think like that?
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I think you might be a little bit wrong to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: think like that. They only they were only in the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: lead for forty four minutes in the six games, so
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the fewest time of any team having a lead in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: NHL Stanley Cup Final history. You know it's and I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: even thought in game sixty the Oilers played pretty well overall,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but the Panthers hockey was was near perfect. But again,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and Conor McDavid is the best player in the world
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: by far. It's not arguably the best player, he is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the best player. And he didn't take the bull by
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the horns like I thought he was when they went
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: back to Edmonton two to two. Him and dry Style
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: were nowhere in game five, and they were nowhere in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: game six. You know, I hate to be critical of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: these two great players, especially McDavid, but he was only
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a plus three in the Stanley Cup and that means
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: five on five he wasn't getting it done like a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: player of that magnitude should. And you know dry Style
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was only a plus four. Now they had thirty three
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: points in twenty two playoff games, but against the Panthers
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: they were neutralized. And I mean, you got to give
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it to the Panthers. You know, Matthew Kutchuka we knew
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we sat on a podcast in previous weeks was playing injury.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Well now we've realized after the game when he was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: talking to Darren Kang on the eye, he said he
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: was playing with a torn abductor off the bone. That's painful,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: very painful, and he has a hernia. But the guy
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is the chuck exemplifies what Edmonton doesn't have. That great
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and determination. They don't have that. And you know, you
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: look at guys like Gustav force Lav. I mean, here's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a guy Forced lab who was put on waivers by
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the Carolina Hurricanes and he played a spectacular fifth and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: sixth game. I mean, these they had six guys with
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: twenty points in the playoffs and just smissed by one
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: because it was an up and coming player who was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: tremendous in the playoff had to. Lucisarin had nineteen points,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he was plus eleven. Marshaft was plus seventeen. Cardi Mahge
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: was plus twelve. These guys are winning players, Alex, They're
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: winning players. Edmonton doesn't have those guys right now. Now.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they can't get to the finals next year.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: They have to improve the goaltending. But and Florida has
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: question marks because they have some free agents that they
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: have to handle. You know, Brad Marschant is thirty seven
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: years old, but he's a free agent. Was he a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: difference maker? He might have been the greatest trade deadline
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: pickup in the NHL, maybe in the last twenty years
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in any sport, almost like cess for this was for
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the Mets in twenty fifteen. After they got Sess for this,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: they turned everything around. But Marshant, he's a free agent.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He's thirty seven years old. The guy obviously could still play.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He was a Consmefe Trophy candidate. And he's gonna be
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a free agent. Are they gonna have room to sign him?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Are they gonna have room to sign Sam Bennett? Oh boy,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: he has a guy who wins con smythe and he's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent. So that's a that's a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: guy that they got to look at. And Aaron Ekland
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that is also a free agent, and he's gonna get
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of offers from a lot of teams because
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: there aren't that many right hand shooting defensemen at his
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: caliber around. So Bill's, you know, a terrific general manager
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: has to find a way to sign at least two
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of these guys. Sam Bennett has already said publicly that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the Toronto Maple Leafs don't shouldn't call him because he's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: not playing there. Brad Marschaant. That might be a guy
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that the Leafs go after because that's the type of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: guy that they don't have. But again, they have issues.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: They got they gotta look at Mitch Marner. They gotta
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: see what they're gonna do with John Tavares. So it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and again it's two weeks away free agency. And the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: one thing about NHL free agency, those first two days,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: all these guys get they get scooped up.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Remember that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I mean last year, I remember when well, I guess
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: he was traded, but Goodrow was, you know, departing from
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the Rangers. I mean, last summer was really a killer.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And I also I think I don't know why I'm
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: thinking of Ross and who signed with the scenes. But
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: you know, these free agent signings do happen quickly, conspiracy.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: They happened quickly. I mean it's you know, free they
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: call it free agent Frends Day, free agent frenzy on
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: July first, it really is. So we'll see and let's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: face it, ed does Edmonton extend Conor McDavid after July
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: first this year he has one year left on his deal,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Or does con McDavid become a free agent on July first?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Of twenty twenty six, does Con McDavid say, you know what,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: maybe I need to leave Edmonton and start fresh summer.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Who knows what's going through his mind. I don't think
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that he's leaving Edmonton. I don't think he's gonna go
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to the Toronto Maple Leafs. I don't think he's gonna
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: go to Boston or the Rangers. I just don't or
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Kings. So I mean, as we sit.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Here, Marnard canceled the whole charity event that made news
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: in Toronto because oh my god, what does it mean?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: He had been doing this charity, I guess for a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: few years running, and now it's canceled.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: I don't buy into that all that. I just want
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: to let the process play out, you know, and.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It and it will and it will play out. But
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Marns has played his last game for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that that I would almost nine ten percent
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: certain on.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: How about the Sanders enjoying their cup life a second
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: year in a row. I mean, I saw Barkov was
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: knocking on his neighbor's door at five in the morning.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I did see that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: It also brought the cup out at one thirty five
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to share with the employees. I love it, and you
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: know I I of course won Edmonton, but I like
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the character of this Panther team.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: And as you know, Matthew Kudchuck.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Well, also this other guy was playing with a sliced
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: open hand, which I find I think that was Barkov
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: or one of the guys was playing with a slice
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: open hand Barkoff and he had.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: To get glued shut. That's that's quite a story.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: But then you have Kodchuck who's also been playing injured
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: as you call, and yet he's gonna be on the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: roster for the Olympics. The guy I don't know, Louis
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Hockey players just built different than any other sport.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: They're built differently. Their mental capacity is different than any
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: other sport. And you know, Matthew could Chuck got hurt
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: in that first game against Canada on that Saturday night,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the game that that team USA won. He got hurt
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: on that he got hurt in that game. He didn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he missed the next game because it was meaningless to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the United States, and then played a little bit against
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the first two periods against Canada in the championship game.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Tried it in the third period, but and go anymore.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: That guy's a warrior, and uh, he's got to be.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that they named him as one
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of the first six guys on the Olympic team, along
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: with his brother Brady. I'm looking for Alex next February,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: those Winter Olympics in Milan, the hockey tournament. I'm going
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to be glued to the TV.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: It's I'm not missing and the USA Hockey, as you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'm riding a high because you have the sled hockey,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: adaptive hockey folks.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I believe take home the gold.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You had the USA hockey team take the world you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the Global Cup or whatever they're calling it, for the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: first time.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Since they won the World Championships.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of high right now with
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Team USA in general, but specifically hockey.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And World Junior team went back to back for the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: first time ever. They went back. They went back to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: back championships.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: So that's why I.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Got MAERUZIONI jersey. I kid you, not like I got
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: a USA jersey. I had to buy into it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Well that was a smart move, but a lot of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff is gonna happen in the next
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: three four weeks with with the hockey season obviously, next
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: week we see if the Islanders draft Matthew Schaeffer, the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: left hand shooting defenseman from the Eerie Otters, or Michael Mesa.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I saw both guys interview on NHL Network and both
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: young men are very impressive. I think the Islanders are
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: going to go with the defenseman if you have a
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: difference making defenseman. He's only seventeen, so he probably won't
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: be on the Islanders next year, but that will. They
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: haven't committed to what they're gonna do yet, but it
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: seems like Michael Messa could start in the NHL next year.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. We'll see what happens with with with
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the people.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: May not know this is you were actually tracking one
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: of the balls. It was at Boston University Boston College Hockey, right,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: because he went up to see some of the games.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm telling you, Alex, there's so many guys
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: on on that team. Uh. Who are NHL albert players
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: The Islanders Cole Eiserman. They drafted Cole Eisman last year
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: with the first pick. He is I think better than
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: they thought. So when he gets to the NHL. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be next year, maybe the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: year after that, but he's the guy who could put
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the puck in the net. Forward that they need. Lane Hudson,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: who I saw play live a couple of times last year,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: smallst defenseman. He beat out his Boston University team teammate
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Macklin Celabrini for the Calder Trophy and rookie Dear and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: he's one of the reasons why the Canadians surprised everybody
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and made the playoffs.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of Calders, shout out to my
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: friend Jacob who lives in North Carolina. He was actually
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: watching the Calder Cup final, which was the AHL affiliate
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: of the Panthers.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's incredible, Alex. Just think until the last three years,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the Florida Panthers, in their first twenty years of existence,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: had won four playoff series. And let's face it, that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: was a franchise that wasn't that fans didn't go to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the arena. Uh. Anytime you watch the game in Florida,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: if they were playing the Devils or the Islanders, or
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the Rangers, or the Bruins or the Canadians, all of
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the visiting fans who migrade to Florida, either full time
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: or just during the winter time. There were more visiting
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: team fans there than Florida fans. And Vinie Viola, the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: owner of the Panthers, has saved hockey in that Miami
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in that graad Miami Miami area. They've won eleven playoff
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: series in the last three years after winning four in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the first twenty eight and everybody loves them. I mean,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: it's been.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: There was so much high but I felt like I
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: was watching Roberta Lomongo in that you know, it's been
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: that it's been.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Lauongo hit the drum for Game seven last year and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: he had the drum ons on Tuesday night, so he's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: two and oh and they interviewed him on the ice
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: after the game and he said he was more nervous
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: banging the drum than playing in the Stanley Cup Finals,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: which he did with the Vancouver Canucks when the when
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the Bruins beat them in seven back in twenty eleven.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: The only bad thing alex Is and Kenny and al
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Chuck and Bouche were spectacular. The production by TNT was spectacular.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: The pre and post game was spectacular, but down in
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: ratings compared to last year because it was on TNT,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: not over the air on ABC, and you know that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that's disappointing. I mean that Betman took a couple more
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: dollars to have the Stanley Cup Final on TNT. I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: know we talked about in the past, but it's just
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the thing that rankles me because you had you had
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: a rematch from last year and forty people just didn't
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: tune in because a lot of people are chord colors,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want to spend money on streaming,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you know, the whole nine yards, you know, you know
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the deal instead of just turning a TV set on
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and and going to an over the air network. That's
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: just me, my little, my little uh uh, I'm up,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I'm upset. I'm upset with that. I mean, last year,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Game seven got just under eight million, and the highest
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: game in this series was Game six two point eight million,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and all the entire series, you know, averaged about two
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: point four million compared to last year. Oh and it
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: was you know, four point three. So whatever, that's my
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: two cents, And now we get we'll see if the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder can close out the Winter sports season
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to if they can win their second Thailand franchise history
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that you know, they won as the Seattle SuperSonics back
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight seventy nine. Again that was back
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to back. They played the Washington then Bullets. Now they're
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the Wizards. They played them in the year before and
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: they played in seventy eight seventy nine. So uh, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be interesting that that that Sonic team
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: was great. They had Jack Sigma, they had Dennis Johnson,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: both Hall of famers. They had Gus Williams, a great
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: player from Mount Vernon, New York, brother Louis.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And this goes game seven, by the way, well they
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: do a watch party at Fanatics Best for Game seven.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, how cool with oh that?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe maybe they will, maybe they will, but
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that was a great team and they and they played
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: a great Bullet team that had Bobby Dandridge and Elvin
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Hayes and the Great West sunseld. So we'll see if
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the Thunder could do it tonight. I have if I
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: was a betting man, and I'm not, I think the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Thunder will close them out.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Staying in basketball because this went through my desk. There's
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a mount rushmore of nets that you wanted to talk
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: about that I wanted to talk about because the New
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: York Post comes out with their mount rushmore of nets
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and we all love these things of who gets left off,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: who gets added on?
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: What were your takeaways from that?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I have to ask you, mister NBA Nets executive for
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: twenty eight years.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Well, they were everyone at the Post picked. Obviously we're
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: fine players. Three of them are Hall of famers in
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Julia Serving, Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, and brook Lopez
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was drafted tenth. I was asking my last year with
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the Nets was his first year. Has had an excellent
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: career and he's the all time NETS leading scorer. But
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: that's where I would personally, it's just me where I
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: would make the change. I saw Buck Williams play the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: first first eight years of his career before we traded
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: in the Portland great competitor for roach, rebounder, never took
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: a game off. What didn't wasn't the offensive player that
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: brook Lopez was, but he or you know, besides being
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he got over a thousand rebounds as a rookie. He
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: won NBA Rookie of the year with the Nets in
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: eighty one eighty two, just and a ferocious one of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the five or six best competitors in the history of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the Nets. So I would put him there or Kenyan Martin.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Kenyan Martin a great defender, a great finisher on the break.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: He didn't have a signature shot. He never developed a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: signature shot down low. But Alex he can he could
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: guard multiple positions on one on the same possession. And uh,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: when you know you had Jason Kidd running running the break, Uh,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you know, Martin got a lot of dunks and a
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: lot of layups. And when he got the Max deal
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: from den we in two thousand and four and left
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the Nets, he should have given instead of given a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: commission to his agent, he should have given it to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Jason Kidd because Jason.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Actually I think I think he should have been on
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: there over Brook Lopez, because I do. I I agree
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: because Kenyan Martin was sort of the hard look. I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: know what VC did, but there was something Kenyan Martin.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: And I also thought it was kind of interesting because
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: on the other side at Giants, Adam Curtis Martin, I mean,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: those two Martins ran the.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Meadowlands for a little bit there.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no they did. And again it's I'm not you know,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of lists. I'm not a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: big fan of things like this. It's good to talk,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: it's it's a great conversation starter. But there's a lot
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of guys who were great for the Nets. Guys most
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: fans have forgotten about Billy Melchioni, who didn't play for
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the Nets in the NBA, he was actually the general
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: manager and uh was a great point guard. You ran
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: a break, He'd gets you the ball. But there was
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of great guys in the ABA. Larry Brown
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: was a great ABA point guard. Another guy who ran,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: who ran a break, who got the key guys the ball?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: So uh, you know, these things are tough, you know.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Then you got a team like the Yankees who probably
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: can fill up what a half a dozen uh Mount
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Rushmore because they've had so many great players. But if
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: if if I had to choose, obviously it's Doc Doctor J.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: It's Vince Carter, It's Jason Kidd, the greatest net of
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: all time in the NBA. Doctor J was the greatest
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: net all time in the A B A uh, And
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the fourth one, I'm gonna I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. Uh,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I'll split the fourth statue between Kenyan Martin and Buck Williams.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Well, there you go.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And you know, we gotta also see if we can
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: get the guy who called all those legends, mister Iron Eglon,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: because I know he has a lot to say about
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: this too.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: We gotta get him on at some point.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I would I would love to get Iron on.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: That would be and uh, you know, pick his brain.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: He's doing a sports camp, I believe this year too.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he and Dave pop In, they all do
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: their sports camps. It's pretty cool, the announcer camp.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: So you know it is.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, I in such a besides being a superstar,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: future Hall of Fame, uh, sports announcer, great play by
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: play guy in so many sports, he's a great human being.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Fame human being. And uh, that's
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a great combination to have.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: All right, because Justin Time is sponsoring this Now network
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: and all that, and we're all so grateful. If there
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: were one player you suggest to do a camp boy
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: that introduced him the athlete to the kids, to who
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: would it be? Mainly with the Yankees, because Justin works
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: heavily with the Yankees. So is there a guy that
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you know can relate to the kids, that can sort
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: of be that mentor for the next generation.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously one, Pops One stands out above everyone because
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: he's such a besides a great player, I think the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: best in the major leagues, he's also as we've talked about,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: being a great human being, This guy's a great human being.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: An Aaron Judge. Now, I don't know if Aaron Judge
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: would has the availability and time to do that, but
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: he would be the natural. But if it's not Aaron Judge,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: let's see, you know what, let maybe a young guy,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: maybe guy like Anthony Volpe. I know Anthon Phobey is
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: having some issues now the media has been very hard
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: on him. But why not a guy like Anthony Volpe.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, he can relate to those young guys. He's
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: still young, and.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: He's great in the community.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Last year on Hope Day's finale, Hope Week's finale, he
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: was there at the Today's Show Plaza representing the Yankees
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: or a Hope Week.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: So no, he's always been out there in the community.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: He was there yesterday shout out to the dugout barn
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: grill in the Bronx. They had a whole caryo given
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: for a whole week with the Yankees. So I mean,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: look all these during this week, especially as you know
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: how connected the Yankees are within the community. And then I,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I guess I feel like I relate
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: to it because George Simoner gave me my own kind
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: of hope, you know, as a baseball kid growing up, because.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: He led me to the suite.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, who else can say that. So I feel that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Kind of synchronicity this week and every hope week that
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: he also understand I totally I adds a very very good,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: very good point that you make. And now look we're
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: still going to games and the connections are growing, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: thank God for that. And I know my dad and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: mister Simon laid that groundwork from a very early age.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: So and never forget those memories.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: At all.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: And I know that right now, everybody's like, this guy
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: should be fired, this guy should be sent down.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Let's trust the process. Okay, let's just trust the process.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I hate Let's trust the process.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: And before I let you go, I Facebook memories is
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: incredible because it reminded.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Me on this date. CEC's a bad that you one.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: It's two hundred and fiftieth game of his career. Of
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: course he will one more after that in twenty nineteen,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: and now he's a Hall of Famer. So there you go.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess next month. I don't know the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: exact date. It's usually the last Saturday or next or
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the third Saturday in July is induction day. So he's
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: got to be excited about that. Him and his family
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: that day is exciting.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: And I don't mean to keep you here longer, but
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: another thought just popped in my head because I know
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: you have a lot of hockey listeners.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: You see what these guys do with the cup.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, my favorite moment was Atchkin bringing to
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the Nationalist Park after they won it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: That was pretty cool.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I remember that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: That was awesome. But if you were to win the
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Stanley Cup.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: As a non executive, as a member of the team, whatever,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: how would you spend a day with the Sanley Cup
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Louis Boys.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: That's a very good question, Alex. I would have to
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: think about that. But what I would probably do is,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: obviously I would call all my friends and probably some
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: of my relatives who are sports fans to come and
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: see the cub and maybe I would bring it to,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you know, to a hockey a big time hockey high
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: school like Del Barton or you know one of the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: high schools is down here in Mamas County or up
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in Bergen County, something like that for that, for that,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: because those kids are trying to make the NHL. And uh,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: yeah so or at least play college hockey. But that's
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a good question, you get. That's food for thought. Now,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I did take I did take a picture with the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Cup after the Devil's one in nineteen ninety five, a
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: picture I still have. I don't have the pictures as
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: many pictures as Alex Garrett has of famous luminaries, but
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that that's a picture I do have.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I know my favorite, one of my favorite sports
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: pictures of my dad touching the Stanley Cup because that
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: he deserved that moment. Man, he's a Chicago black Hawk
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: bayan and look out many years he had to suffer
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: before they finally won fifteen years ago and then a
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: couple of years later in twenty thirteen, I believe, so.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: They won three. They won three uh in six years,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: in six seasons.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: And uh I see Joe Quinneville is back at the
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: coaching behind the bench.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: I think an anime I could be.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Right, that's corrects an anaym with Chris Krider.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: So there you have it, But for now, Louis love
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: having you as always on Terminlo's take. And I were
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you were to ask me about what I would do
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: with the cup, I would be so nervous to let
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: it be ruined or something like, well, don't.
