- 2:27Speaker 1: two was about as thrilling as game won, maybe even
- 2:29Speaker 1: more so.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Went to overtime, and this is how it ended.
- 2:33Speaker 1: These gentlemen would quiet all the critics wondering where they've
- 2:36Speaker 1: been if they score the game winner and over time
- 2:40Speaker 1: go'st despair charms, Why stop cracks?
- 2:47Speaker 2: He likes the crowd.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Hurricanes four Golden Nights, three and overtime. Three goals by
- 2:56Speaker 1: Carolina in the third period the second half of the
- 2:58Speaker 1: third period to take the lead. Vegas retied it on
- 3:01Speaker 1: the six and on four power play to force overtime.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Then that game winning goal you heard from Sean McDonough
- 3:06Speaker 1: abcespn's broadcast by Seth Harvest's Jarvis's goal in overtime. Series
- 3:12Speaker 1: now tied at one it's heads to Las Vegas. So
- 3:15Speaker 1: is Eddie ol Chick. Enzo is going to be on
- 3:17Speaker 1: the phone at seven to forty five with us. We
- 3:19Speaker 1: hope I'm during a connection. I still can't believe he
- 3:21Speaker 1: doesn't have a private jet to go from North Carolina
- 3:24Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. But he's hoping we're going to have
- 3:27Speaker 1: Eddie Oltchick joining us. He's been calling the games on
- 3:29Speaker 1: Sports USA Radio here on ninety three point three KJARFM,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and he will again this weekend in Las Vegas for
- 3:35Speaker 1: Games three and four. Carolina last night, by the way,
- 3:37Speaker 1: became the first teams is the nineteen forty four Canadians
- 3:40Speaker 1: to win a Stanley Cup Final game after trailing by
- 3:43Speaker 1: multiple goals in the final ten minutes of regulation.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Eighty two years ago.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Was the last time someone in a Cup final did
- 3:50Speaker 1: what Carolina did last night. NBA Finals are Game two
- 3:53Speaker 1: tonights in San Antonio. Knicks and Jalen Brunson lead the
- 3:56Speaker 1: series one game to nine. The last three teams to
- 3:59Speaker 1: win a Finals Game one on the road have all
- 4:00Speaker 1: lost the title.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Series.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Got to go back to two thousand and four the
- 4:03Speaker 1: Dirt Pistons to find a team that won on the
- 4:05Speaker 1: Road in Game one and then won the whole darn thing.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is going to be out for the Yankees,
- 4:10Speaker 1: apparently for months, stress fracturing his rib, he said. The
- 4:14Speaker 1: team said that the three time American League MVP will
- 4:17Speaker 1: get another imaging test in four to six weeks and
- 4:19Speaker 1: then they'll decide where to go from there. And in
- 4:22Speaker 1: college women's softball, I say Texas rally to a four
- 4:25Speaker 1: to one win over Texas Tech to win that three
- 4:27Speaker 1: game series two games and none. Longhorn second consecutive softball
- 4:32Speaker 1: National championship to Detroit. We go where it's not seven am.
- 4:37Speaker 1: It's mid to late morning in Michigan, and we're pleased
- 4:41Speaker 1: to be joined by Cody Stavidhagen. He is the beat
- 4:44Speaker 1: writer for the Tigers for the Athletic We last talked
- 4:47Speaker 1: to him during the playoff run last October when the
- 4:50Speaker 1: Mariners and Tigers played and since then, Cody, my, have
- 4:53Speaker 1: things have changed?
- 4:54Speaker 2: Detroit.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Thanks for having us on, Thanks for coming on with
- 4:56Speaker 1: us on a Friday.
- 4:58Speaker 4: Hey, no hurries sorre are you guys?
- 5:00Speaker 2: We are well, Thank you, sir, Cody.
- 5:02Speaker 1: We look at the standings, we see that the Tigers
- 5:04Speaker 1: are thirteen under five hundred. We've seen they've been at
- 5:07Speaker 1: or in last place near last place for most of
- 5:10Speaker 1: the season. Beside the obvious of Trek Scuogl, the Cy
- 5:14Speaker 1: Young Award winner, being injured.
- 5:15Speaker 2: What has gone wrong in Detroit?
- 5:17Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I keep getting asked that question, and
- 5:19Speaker 4: I kind of struggled to come up with a concise answer.
- 5:22Speaker 4: I think the closest thing I can offer is pretty
- 5:25Speaker 4: much everything that's gone wrong. They were six and twenty
- 5:29Speaker 4: two in the month of May. It was a disaster. Yeah,
- 5:33Speaker 4: I think the most notable thing is just the way
- 5:35Speaker 4: their brand of play has really eroded. The Tigers had
- 5:39Speaker 4: kind of prided themselves on being a little bit of
- 5:42Speaker 4: a pesky team that applies a lot of pressure. Their
- 5:46Speaker 4: defense ranks near the bottom of the league, their base
- 5:49Speaker 4: running is not what it once was, and then the
- 5:51Speaker 4: offense really fell into a pretty deep slumber in May.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Now they're coming off a sweep of the Rays, the Rays,
- 5:57Speaker 4: who had had the best record in the American League.
- 5:59Speaker 4: The bats really woke up the last three games, and
- 6:02Speaker 4: that was sorely needed. The Tigers have had a lot
- 6:04Speaker 4: of injuries, but they also just have not played good baseball.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Cody the bullpen in particular.
- 6:11Speaker 1: I've seen you mentioned on podcasts that the Tigers bullpen
- 6:14Speaker 1: has really really suffered. What can they do change what
- 6:18Speaker 1: has gone wrong there? And are there any hope that
- 6:21Speaker 1: the guys in there turning around? Are they gonna have
- 6:24Speaker 1: to go from the Toledo or outside the club? How
- 6:27Speaker 1: are they going to fix the bullpen?
- 6:29Speaker 4: Yeah, the bullpen's definitely been an issue as well. They've
- 6:32Speaker 4: been hit by some injuries there right now ken Lee
- 6:34Speaker 4: Janssen and the veteran closer is on the injured list.
- 6:37Speaker 4: But they've got some guys in the back end like
- 6:39Speaker 4: Will vest who just has not been the same, Like
- 6:42Speaker 4: Kyle Finnigan who probably hasn't been quite as good as
- 6:45Speaker 4: they have hoped. Tyler Holton's been a huge part of
- 6:48Speaker 4: what the Tigers have done the last few years. He
- 6:50Speaker 4: has not been near as effective. And then I think
- 6:54Speaker 4: their depth has really been tested. A combination of injuries
- 6:57Speaker 4: and underperformance has led them into some some badad or
- 7:00Speaker 4: weird situations. They haven't necessarily had great options to call
- 7:05Speaker 4: up in Toledo. I look at this bullpen and I
- 7:08Speaker 4: just kind of question the stuff. I mean, this is
- 7:10Speaker 4: a major league bullpen and they don't have someone who
- 7:13Speaker 4: throws ninety eight, ninety nine, one hundred. There's not as
- 7:17Speaker 4: much swing and miss as you would like, and that's
- 7:19Speaker 4: been an issue for a couple of years. So, you know,
- 7:22Speaker 4: some talent acquisition stuff, some development stuff, some injuries, it
- 7:26Speaker 4: all combines into a bullpen that hasn't been very good,
- 7:30Speaker 4: especially last month, blew a lot of leads and games
- 7:33Speaker 4: the Tigers could have won otherwise, Cody.
- 7:36Speaker 5: You said obviously that not a lot is going right
- 7:38Speaker 5: there or nothing is going right there. But as far
- 7:41Speaker 5: as the injuries go, and as far as obviously you've
- 7:43Speaker 5: got a long list of people on the il, but
- 7:45Speaker 5: carry Carpenter coming back after missing most of May, and
- 7:49Speaker 5: then I saw the labor Torres also back. Mariners have
- 7:52Speaker 5: a history of when a player comes back against us,
- 7:55Speaker 5: they tend to do really well against us.
- 7:56Speaker 3: So just so you know, that's a positive thing for you.
- 7:59Speaker 5: But does it seem that things that might be you know,
- 8:01Speaker 5: turning around and on the way back up for you guys.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Well, yeah, like I mentioned, the Tigers played really well
- 8:07Speaker 4: in that three games against the Rays. They came out
- 8:10Speaker 4: and hit I think ten home runs. They had only
- 8:14Speaker 4: eighteen home runs in the entire month of May. So
- 8:16Speaker 4: the Bats really came alive. Getting Carpenter back, you know,
- 8:20Speaker 4: big time left handed power, getting Glabored Torres back, steady
- 8:23Speaker 4: right handed presence, that certainly helps. I mean, I don't
- 8:26Speaker 4: think that not having those two guys, or even not
- 8:29Speaker 4: having schoobl explains why they were so bad and may
- 8:33Speaker 4: I mean, even if you go back to the first
- 8:35Speaker 4: month of the season, when the Tigers weren't two banged up,
- 8:39Speaker 4: they just you know, they were hovering around five hundred.
- 8:41Speaker 4: They weren't playing that well. But they're getting closer to
- 8:44Speaker 4: full strength Tores Carpenter, Yeah, that helps. The way they
- 8:48Speaker 4: played the last three games night and day from what
- 8:50Speaker 4: we saw for the better part of the month. And
- 8:53Speaker 4: now they get a pretty hot Mariners team with some
- 8:55Speaker 4: good pitching. So the question is kind of okay, can
- 8:57Speaker 4: can the Tigers get this going? Can they get their
- 9:00Speaker 4: season back on the rails? Or is it going to
- 9:02Speaker 4: be too late?
- 9:04Speaker 1: Cody stavid Hagen, the beat writer for the Tigers for
- 9:07Speaker 1: the Athletic takingos from Detroit before the Mariners had to
- 9:11Speaker 1: Comerica Park.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Well, they don't call it Kamerica Park anymore, do they.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I don't know what they call it anymore.
- 9:15Speaker 4: It's k America Park for one more year, Okay, change it, Okay,
- 9:18Speaker 4: something else, okay.
- 9:19Speaker 1: The park downtown in Detroit joining us here in a
- 9:22Speaker 1: Beacon Plumbing hotline in ninety three point three KJRFM. The
- 9:27Speaker 1: question around the Tigers nationally, of course, is one are
- 9:30Speaker 1: they going to trade Trek Scooble? But the thirty two
- 9:33Speaker 1: million dollar contract, the arbitration record, arbitration win.
- 9:37Speaker 2: But that is putting the cart before the horse. Of course.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Where is his return from his elbow surgery? It was
- 9:43Speaker 1: a unique surgery, not as invasive. Is it a fade
- 9:47Speaker 1: of complee that he is going to be back in
- 9:49Speaker 1: time before the trade deadline to even potentially trade him?
- 9:53Speaker 6: Uh?
- 9:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
- 9:56Speaker 4: Scooble had surgery not quite one month ago. In his
- 9:59Speaker 4: recover he has been pretty remarkable. As you mentioned, doctor
- 10:04Speaker 4: Neil L. Latrosh used a nano needle. It's basically a
- 10:07Speaker 4: twist on a traditional arthroscopic procedure, but you use a
- 10:10Speaker 4: smaller tool to go in there and remove the loose body,
- 10:14Speaker 4: so it causes less inflammation, less scarring, less bleeding. And
- 10:19Speaker 4: what that meant is schoobl you know, didn't wake up
- 10:23Speaker 4: with this huge swollen elbow that he couldn't move. He
- 10:25Speaker 4: woke up and he was pretty much normal.
- 10:27Speaker 2: He was able to resume throwing within days.
- 10:30Speaker 4: So there was no huge shut down and he had
- 10:32Speaker 4: to start from zero and so he started throwing and
- 10:36Speaker 4: he's ramped it up pretty quickly. He's already thrown I
- 10:38Speaker 4: think two live bullpen sessions. Sounds like he's likely to
- 10:42Speaker 4: go out on rehab assignment soon, most likely this weekend,
- 10:45Speaker 4: and then we will see where things go from there.
- 10:48Speaker 4: I mean, there's a chance Scooble could be back in
- 10:51Speaker 4: the major leagues within seven days. It might end up,
- 10:55Speaker 4: you know, they might go in extra five to ten
- 10:57Speaker 4: days if they want to get him, maybe two reha starts.
- 11:01Speaker 4: They haven't really committed to the exact plan. But what
- 11:04Speaker 4: we know is this is going real well. I would
- 11:06Speaker 4: expect him back in the majors sometime in the month
- 11:09Speaker 4: of June, and then he could have five, six, seven
- 11:14Speaker 4: starts to prove that he's still Trek's scouble, and then
- 11:18Speaker 4: we'll see what that means for the trade chances. I mean,
- 11:20Speaker 4: if the Tigers are out of contention, he's going to
- 11:23Speaker 4: be gone, but it might still be a little too early.
- 11:27Speaker 4: We have two months until the deadline. For all the
- 11:29Speaker 4: things that have gone wrong, the Tigers have a lot
- 11:32Speaker 4: staked into this season. If they can get back at
- 11:35Speaker 4: least within shouting distance, it might be a tough call
- 11:38Speaker 4: on whether to sell Trek Scuble and others. I think
- 11:42Speaker 4: we just got to give it a little more time
- 11:44Speaker 4: before we know what that's actually going to look like.
- 11:46Speaker 1: So you're saying he could pitch within seven days, whether
- 11:49Speaker 1: it's a minor league rehab or not.
- 11:51Speaker 4: I think he's going to pitch in the minor leagues
- 11:53Speaker 4: this weekend. In five more days, could it be in
- 11:56Speaker 4: the majors?
- 11:56Speaker 3: Maybe that's crazy.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Well that's okay, okay, put a switch on. But now
- 12:01Speaker 1: with the wildcard code, as you know, they're only five
- 12:04Speaker 1: and a half back from the wildcard because most teams
- 12:06Speaker 1: can say they're within five games with a wildcard at
- 12:08Speaker 1: this point.
- 12:08Speaker 2: But how did the Tigers look at this?
- 12:11Speaker 1: Did they look at it, well, we're on the fringe
- 12:13Speaker 1: of wildcard contention and we have to sell tickets and
- 12:15Speaker 1: hot dogs in July, August and September.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Or do they look at it?
- 12:18Speaker 1: We're ten and a half back, and we've been at
- 12:20Speaker 1: the bottom of the division the whole time.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a lot closer to the first
- 12:25Speaker 4: like when the whole American League is within five and
- 12:29Speaker 4: a half games. Basically, it doesn't like you still have
- 12:32Speaker 4: to overcome a lot, you have to leap frog a
- 12:35Speaker 4: lot of other teams, but it's not an insurmountable deficit.
- 12:38Speaker 4: Two years ago, we saw that Tigers pull off a
- 12:40Speaker 4: crazy run. We saw what the Guardians did last year. Like,
- 12:44Speaker 4: there's a lot of season left and I'm not trying
- 12:47Speaker 4: to like, I don't know that how much confidence I
- 12:50Speaker 4: have after the bad baseball I watch all may But
- 12:53Speaker 4: the Tigers are getting their their full team back. They're
- 12:57Speaker 4: real team back. I mean, they're probably gonna be other
- 12:59Speaker 4: injuriasons stuff. Nothing's ever a guarantee, but I think they're
- 13:04Speaker 4: leaning more toward Okay, if we can just get back
- 13:07Speaker 4: within shouting distance, play a little bit better, narrow that
- 13:10Speaker 4: gap a little bit. This may be a team that
- 13:13Speaker 4: could still have a chance if they don't sell everything
- 13:17Speaker 4: at the deadline. So I just think there's a lot
- 13:20Speaker 4: to be determined here. If they keep losing and they
- 13:23Speaker 4: fall a little farther behind that they have no choice
- 13:26Speaker 4: but to trade Schooble, probably trade everyone they can. But
- 13:30Speaker 4: I just think it's a little too early. Everyone's kind
- 13:32Speaker 4: of rushing to that conclusion. What if the Tigers have
- 13:34Speaker 4: a great month, and what if they play well in July,
- 13:36Speaker 4: and what if they're right there in the wild card race.
- 13:40Speaker 4: I don't necessarily think it's a sure thing right now
- 13:43Speaker 4: that they are sellers, but obviously they're gonna have to
- 13:45Speaker 4: play a lot better to have any chance of.
- 13:49Speaker 5: Staying this Cody, there has been obviously yet so much
- 13:51Speaker 5: talk about Schooble, But you just mentioned, you know, if
- 13:55Speaker 5: things don't go or continue, I guess the way that
- 13:57Speaker 5: they have been going, and they end up being sellers
- 13:59Speaker 5: at the deadline. And you're saying, you know, if they
- 14:01Speaker 5: trade Schooble, if they trade everybody, When you say everybody,
- 14:04Speaker 5: is like, carry Carpenter on the table, because I know
- 14:06Speaker 5: there are a lot of Mariners fans here that would
- 14:09Speaker 5: really love to add somebody like Kerry Carpenter if they could.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Is he untouchable?
- 14:13Speaker 5: Is he you know somebody that they would also consider
- 14:16Speaker 5: trading if they needed to.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Well, yeah, if we just want to talk like hypothetical.
- 14:21Speaker 4: That's another interesting question. Let's say the Tigers get there
- 14:25Speaker 4: and their way out of it, and they trade Scoogle,
- 14:27Speaker 4: they trade Casey Mais all these guys on expiring deals, right,
- 14:30Speaker 4: they're natural trade candidates. I think the other question then becomes, Okay,
- 14:34Speaker 4: how much further would they go from that? Would they
- 14:37Speaker 4: trade guys who were still under team control for a
- 14:40Speaker 4: couple of years, like a carry carpenter, like a you know,
- 14:43Speaker 4: I don't even want to speculate too much with other names,
- 14:45Speaker 4: but you know, you have some of these hitters who
- 14:48Speaker 4: are good, who have been part of your core, but
- 14:51Speaker 4: the offense has fallen off. You kind of have a
- 14:53Speaker 4: lot of one dimensional pieces, you guys.
- 14:55Speaker 2: You have some guys who can.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Hit but not do anything in the field, some guys
- 14:59Speaker 4: with decent gloves, but you can't hit at all. So
- 15:01Speaker 4: would you ship away parts like that to kind of
- 15:04Speaker 4: begin reshaping your roster to become a little bit more complete.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I don't know if the Tigers would do that or not,
- 15:10Speaker 4: but I think they would certainly have to be willing
- 15:12Speaker 4: to listen. And Scott Harris has always kind of said
- 15:15Speaker 4: that's their philosophy, like there are no untouchables in practice.
- 15:18Speaker 4: I think Kevin McGonagall is probably untouchable. I think they
- 15:21Speaker 4: have a few other guys who are untouchable, but someone
- 15:23Speaker 4: like your Kerry Carpenter, I mean, I think the Tigers
- 15:26Speaker 4: would need to be at least willing to listen to
- 15:29Speaker 4: anything that's on the table.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Of course, the more years of club control guy has,
- 15:34Speaker 1: the more attractive he's better the prospects that have to
- 15:38Speaker 1: come in that kind of deal. Cody staved Hagen, senior
- 15:41Speaker 1: writer for The Athletic covering Detroit Tigers.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.

- 15:51Speaker 1: Cody steven Hagen of the The Athletic, the Tigers beat writer,
- 15:55Speaker 1: talking about all that's gone wrong in Detroit. They're thirteen
- 15:58Speaker 1: games under five hundred, even after coming off a three
- 16:01Speaker 1: game sweep of the first place Tampa Bay Rays. Interesting
- 16:04Speaker 1: discussion about whether they're in or out and this wild card.
- 16:07Speaker 1: That's the reason they put in the wildcard so teams
- 16:10Speaker 1: and fans can be interested in playoff races.
- 16:12Speaker 2: They're only five and a half back in the Wildcard
- 16:14Speaker 2: while thirteen games under five. That's how bad the American League.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Is, I know.
- 16:18Speaker 5: And that's the thing is, as he was talking about
- 16:20Speaker 5: all that stuff, I kept thinking, well, you know, obviously
- 16:22Speaker 5: the Tiger is a little worse situation than what the
- 16:24Speaker 5: Mariners were in. But one quick, you know, street win
- 16:29Speaker 5: streak can really turn things around in this half of
- 16:32Speaker 5: the baseball world.
- 16:33Speaker 1: We saw that with the Mariners, a six to eight
- 16:36Speaker 1: game winning streak and they went from two and a
- 16:37Speaker 1: half back to two and a half up.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Yep, in a very bad division.
- 16:40Speaker 6: Here.
- 16:40Speaker 1: The Tigers mired in last place most of the season,
- 16:43Speaker 1: just five and a half games out of a playoff spot.
- 16:46Speaker 2: That's not exactly yard sale time.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And to Cody staven Hagen's point, it's too early to
- 16:52Speaker 1: assume that they're going to trade Trek Scoogle with his
- 16:55Speaker 1: thirty two million Well it'd be a pro rated portion
- 16:57Speaker 1: of his thirty two million dollar contract. Mariners first game
- 17:01Speaker 1: tonight this afternoon, our time in Detroit of a three
- 17:05Speaker 1: game series, then two day games starting morning time ten
- 17:08Speaker 1: ten tomorrow ten forty is the game time all on

- 17:19Speaker 1: happened in eighty two years. We'll talk about that. Are
- 17:22Speaker 1: the Vegas Golden Knights making the crack and look bad?
- 17:27Speaker 1: I'll talk about that, and then Eddie olchick Enzo is
- 17:30Speaker 1: gonna hopefully join us on his travels from Raleigh to
- 17:33Speaker 1: Las Vegas around seven to forty five.
- 17:36Speaker 2: All that's coming up eight o'clock.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, you'll hear from him On ninety three point

- 17:56Speaker 1: out here on ninety three point three KJRFM. Greg Bell
- 17:59Speaker 1: of the New Tribune pinch hitting for Chuck Powell. Every
- 18:03Speaker 1: time I hear Chris Cross, Christopher Cross sailing, it reminds
- 18:06Speaker 1: me of my dad, who had owned a sailboat, sailed
- 18:09Speaker 1: for like sixty years of his life. He passed away
- 18:11Speaker 1: fourteen months ago. And yeah, I hear that's hard, Yeah good, Yeah,
- 18:17Speaker 1: are you a sailor?
- 18:18Speaker 5: I did actually take sailing lessons when I was younger,
- 18:20Speaker 5: and I loved it, but my parents didn't do it,
- 18:22Speaker 5: so it kind of didn't continue. But every time I
- 18:24Speaker 5: hear that yacht rock promo, I instantly would like to
- 18:27Speaker 5: leave work and go sit in my backyard with a
- 18:31Speaker 5: nice cold beverage and just listen to yacht rock all
- 18:34Speaker 5: weekend longer.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't. It's one of my preset channels in
- 18:37Speaker 2: my car.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I love it. I love it.
- 18:41Speaker 2: That's say we're getting old Ashley, Yes.
- 18:44Speaker 3: Sure does.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Seven five ish.
- 18:47Speaker 1: We hope to get Enzo Eddie Olchik, who's en route
- 18:50Speaker 1: from Rawleigh, North Carolina to Las Vegas covering the Stanley
- 18:53Speaker 1: Cup Finals. He's the analyst game analyst with John Forslin
- 18:56Speaker 1: on the broadcast for Sports USA Radio here on ninety
- 18:59Speaker 1: three point three kjm Astle. He's tracking him down through
- 19:02Speaker 1: an airport in Houston.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Unbelievable. He's got to go Raleigh, Houston, Las Vegas. We
- 19:08Speaker 2: might have to give him some static about that. He
- 19:11Speaker 2: must not be on the crack and travel schedule. Obviously
- 19:13Speaker 2: there's no charter.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Yeah, kracking fans, I gotta ask you something on the
- 19:19Speaker 1: Tacoma Dodge text line four nine four or five one.
- 19:21Speaker 2: We'll read back all your texts.
- 19:22Speaker 1: At nine thirty is a really good question from an
- 19:24Speaker 1: army major I'm going to address at nine thirty. But
- 19:29Speaker 1: kracking fans, are you dismayed by the Vegas Golden Knights?
- 19:33Speaker 2: I asked, because the Vegas is unbelievable success.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Of course, as an expansion team the twenty seventeen eighteen season,
- 19:41Speaker 1: they went all the way to the Cup Final against
- 19:43Speaker 1: Alexovechkin and the Washington Capitals, And honestly, as a sports fan,
- 19:50Speaker 1: as a hockey fan, that was my benchmark when the
- 19:53Speaker 1: Krakens started.
- 19:54Speaker 5: Wait a minute, the last fairly but yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 19:57Speaker 5: absolutely unfairly.
- 19:59Speaker 2: But I don't think I'm the only one who thought, oh,
- 20:02Speaker 2: well the Kraken can do that.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Yep, they can go to Stanley Cup Final as an
- 20:05Speaker 1: expansion team.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Yep.
- 20:07Speaker 1: And of course we know what's happened. For the five
- 20:09Speaker 1: years they haven't even made the playoffs. The one year
- 20:11Speaker 1: they did make the playoffs, the rousing series win against
- 20:15Speaker 1: Colorado and then all the way to Game seven against
- 20:17Speaker 1: Dallas before losing in the Western Conference semifinals, and that's it.
- 20:20Speaker 2: They haven't been back.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Not only did the Vegas Golden Knights make the Stanley
- 20:25Speaker 1: Cup Final in their very first expansion season of existence.
- 20:29Speaker 1: They won the Cup of course in twenty twenty three
- 20:32Speaker 1: in their sixth year of existence, and of course the
- 20:34Speaker 1: Kraken will be embarking on their sixth season.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Starting this fall.
- 20:40Speaker 1: I was gonna ask Enzo this too at seven forty five,
- 20:43Speaker 1: how much it might gall the Kraken to see what
- 20:46Speaker 1: the Vegas Golden Knights are doing.
- 20:48Speaker 2: Now.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I understand that the expansion rules changed, the league did charge,
- 20:52Speaker 1: changing who could be available, and teams got wise to
- 20:56Speaker 1: not give away players that were still young and valuable,
- 20:59Speaker 1: like the Vegas Golden Nights got in their expansion draft.
- 21:03Speaker 1: But actually, I wonder you're cracking. You're wearing cracking gear
- 21:05Speaker 1: right now? Oh do you look at Vegas and go, damn, yeah,
- 21:10Speaker 1: I don't.
- 21:11Speaker 5: It annoys me Like I look at them and I
- 21:13Speaker 5: get irritated because it does seem unfair that they got
- 21:17Speaker 5: just a completely different experience with expansion than what we did,
- 21:21Speaker 5: and we are more of what I would expect an
- 21:24Speaker 5: expansion team to actually deal with, right the struggles, the
- 21:26Speaker 5: slow I mean, I wouldn't expect an expansion team, like
- 21:29Speaker 5: when we get a basketball team, I don't expect that
- 21:32Speaker 5: our that our Sonics are going to be going to
- 21:34Speaker 5: the NBA Finals in two years, right, because that's just
- 21:37Speaker 5: not how the NBA has expansions.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Exactly, and that's how most leagues, you would think, right, yeah,
- 21:42Speaker 1: but then you see what happened in the NHL with Vegas.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Yeah they fixed that quickly though, didn't they.
- 21:46Speaker 2: They did not doing that.
- 21:49Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like whoops, hold on, I.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Don't obviously the crack and working to communicate that to
- 21:54Speaker 1: their fans when they needed people to buy seat licenses
- 21:57Speaker 1: and multi year season ticket deals. But looking back, they
- 22:02Speaker 1: would have been I don't know, nice as a public
- 22:05Speaker 1: service to give a little, hey, a primer on here's
- 22:08Speaker 1: how the expansion rules have changed and the expansion draft
- 22:12Speaker 1: has changed, and you can't leave players as available, as
- 22:15Speaker 1: as attractive players as available as happened when the Vegas
- 22:19Speaker 1: Golden Nights started. Basically in a nutshell. What happened was
- 22:22Speaker 1: team they hadn't. The NHL had not expanded for a
- 22:25Speaker 1: long time, and so when they did, players that were
- 22:29Speaker 1: still young and not injured and not expensive got exposed
- 22:33Speaker 1: to the expansion draft and Vegas gobbled them up. And
- 22:38Speaker 1: teams are like, whoa wait a minute, now, others were
- 22:42Speaker 1: expensive and dumping contracts, which is what happened in every
- 22:45Speaker 1: league in an expansion draft. Marc Andre Fleury, for instance,
- 22:49Speaker 1: the goaltender for the Stanley Cup champion goaltender for the
- 22:52Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Penguins, was one of those high priced veterans that
- 22:55Speaker 1: they dumped and Vegas picked up and rode them.
- 22:57Speaker 2: To a Cup final.
- 22:59Speaker 1: But the rules did change after the Vegas and it's
- 23:03Speaker 1: suffice to say the expansion draft for the Crack and
- 23:07Speaker 1: not nearly as successful. I mean, Giordano was the face
- 23:10Speaker 1: of the franchise in the expansion draft, remember that. And
- 23:13Speaker 1: he lasted for what two years, that's season in three
- 23:17Speaker 1: fourths and then they traded him and Toronto headed up
- 23:20Speaker 1: getting him for a playoff run. And so yeah, but
- 23:24Speaker 1: I'm interested on the four nine, four or five to
- 23:26Speaker 1: one Kracking fans season ticket holders. I know a lot
- 23:30Speaker 1: of you listen here on the Home of the Kraken.
- 23:32Speaker 1: Do the Vegas Golden Knights gall you the fact that
- 23:35Speaker 1: they've been into three Stanley Cup Finals in their first
- 23:37Speaker 1: nine years of existence, and they went to the Cup
- 23:39Speaker 1: final as an expansion team. Well, your team that you're
- 23:43Speaker 1: invested in, Aaron Seattle, have only been to the playoffs
- 23:46Speaker 1: once in their first five years. I hate to bring
- 23:48Speaker 1: it up, but it's just sparing us right in the
- 23:50Speaker 1: face here for the next two weeks.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Well, and I do think that a lot of people forget,
- 23:54Speaker 5: like they look at the Craken and they think, why
- 23:56Speaker 5: can't we Especially with Vegas in the Stanley Cup Finals again,
- 24:00Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, a lot of Kracken fans look at
- 24:02Speaker 5: it and get annoyed, like, well, why can't that be us?
- 24:04Speaker 7: Well it is.
- 24:04Speaker 5: It was an entirely different situation, yes, but yeah, I
- 24:09Speaker 5: also think it's fair to expect more from this franchise
- 24:12Speaker 5: heading into this year.
- 24:13Speaker 1: We're going to ask Eddie Olcik that question, is it
- 24:15Speaker 1: fair to expect more from the Kraken. We're going to
- 24:18Speaker 1: ask him what he's seen in the Stanley Cup Finals.
- 24:20Speaker 1: He's en route from Vegas. From Raleigh to Vegas. He
- 24:24Speaker 1: joins us next on ninety three point three KJRFM. Welcome
- 24:31Speaker 1: back to The Greg Bell Show with Christopher Kidd. Not
- 24:34Speaker 1: at tend to noon hits The Greg bellt Show with
- 24:36Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan been hitting for Chuck Powell, who's not in today,
- 24:40Speaker 1: for Bucky Jacobson who's out. Greg and Ashley with you
- 24:43Speaker 1: from six to ten. Here today ninety three point three
- 24:47Speaker 1: k JRFM. Eddie Olchek Kracken analyst standing by. We're going
- 24:50Speaker 1: to try to get a hold of him in a
- 24:52Speaker 1: couple of minutes about the Stanley Cup final. He's broadcasting
- 24:55Speaker 1: here on ninety three point three KJFM for Sports USA Network.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Last night, another off the hook Stanley Cup playoff game,
- 25:01Speaker 1: A final game two, Vegas controlling the first two and
- 25:06Speaker 1: a half periods, up to nothing, with a chance to
- 25:08Speaker 1: go up two to zero in the series, heading back
- 25:10Speaker 1: to Las Vegas for the next two games, and Carolina
- 25:13Speaker 1: is up against it. Suddenly they hit the team that
- 25:15Speaker 1: had lost only once in the first three rounds was
- 25:19Speaker 1: in danger of falling down two at home with the
- 25:22Speaker 1: next two on the road, and it looked like your
- 25:24Speaker 1: season might be in jeopardy suddenly after not losing for weeks.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Then what happens.
- 25:31Speaker 1: A steal by Logan Stankovin in the Vegas defensive end
- 25:36Speaker 1: results in a goal two to one mid second period.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Three minutes later, Mark Janikowski scores two to two. The
- 25:44Speaker 1: steal from Stankovn just changed everything. Ty game later, third period,
- 25:48Speaker 1: Vegas thought it had retaken the lead on a scramble
- 25:50Speaker 1: goal at the net. The officials called a no goal
- 25:53Speaker 1: on the ice. John Tortorella, the Vegas coach that the
- 25:57Speaker 1: Golden Knights plucked out of the TV analyst booth late
- 26:00Speaker 1: in the season, challenge the call, and of course in
- 26:03Speaker 1: the NHL, if you challenge and ask for a replay
- 26:06Speaker 1: challenge and you lose, you get assessed a minor penalty
- 26:09Speaker 1: and you have to defend a power play. And that's
- 26:12Speaker 1: what happened the officials in the Toronto the replay official
- 26:15Speaker 1: did not change the call in the ice, Tortorella absorbed
- 26:19Speaker 1: a penalty. So with a tie game, with the game
- 26:22Speaker 1: on the line, Carolina goes on the power play and
- 26:25Speaker 1: scores off that power play to take the lead. But
- 26:28Speaker 1: then the gold Knights come right back at the end
- 26:30Speaker 1: of the third period and score with like just under
- 26:32Speaker 1: two minutes left to tie the game.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Again and force overtime.
- 26:36Speaker 1: This was off the hook game, and then in overtime
- 26:39Speaker 1: Seth Jarvis scores the game winner from the left circle
- 26:43Speaker 1: and that's how Carolina climbs back to a one to
- 26:45Speaker 1: one tie in the series that now goes from Vegas
- 26:48Speaker 1: or So Raleigh to Vegas. Eddie Oulchek goes from Raleigh
- 26:53Speaker 1: to Vegas, but not straight from Raleigh to Vegas.
- 26:56Speaker 2: He's in Houston.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Joining us on the Beacon Plumbing hotline.
- 27:00Speaker 2: I gotta ask y, Eddio. I know you're used to
- 27:03Speaker 2: the good ed, so you're used to that crack and travel.
- 27:06Speaker 2: What's going on here with Houston.
- 27:09Speaker 6: Yeah, this was the quickest and fastest way, Greg.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Nice to be with you, Nice to talk to you again.
- 27:15Speaker 6: Yeah, this was the This was the most direct route
- 27:18Speaker 6: and quickest route for me to get there and start
- 27:19Speaker 6: preparing for the big Belmont Steaks weekend Saratoga. You know,
- 27:23Speaker 6: we got we gotta make Ashley and her daughter Palmer,
- 27:27Speaker 6: got to get her college fund built up there a
- 27:29Speaker 6: little bit, so hopefully we can roll what we did
- 27:31Speaker 6: during the breakness, right, Ashley. So I'm trying to get
- 27:34Speaker 6: there as quick as we can. Little rainstorm here in
- 27:37Speaker 6: Houston that's kind of getting me a little bit delayed
- 27:40Speaker 6: a little. But we'll be in Vegas by lunchtime and
- 27:43Speaker 6: get ready for what a day tomorrow though, the ultimate
- 27:45Speaker 6: daily double Pucks and Ponies.
- 27:47Speaker 2: You got game.
- 27:48Speaker 6: You had this Belmont Stakes at Saratoga at seven o
- 27:51Speaker 6: seven Eastern Tomorrow night, and then an hour later, you
- 27:53Speaker 6: got puck trapped for Game three, Greg, between the Golden
- 27:56Speaker 6: Knights and the Carolina Hurricane. So it's going to be
- 27:58Speaker 6: one heck of a day being in Vegas and hopefully
- 28:01Speaker 6: be able to make a little, uh, make a little
- 28:04Speaker 6: money there before I get to the arena and call
- 28:06Speaker 6: Game three with the great John Portland on Sports USA Radio.
- 28:09Speaker 1: You we got people on the text line lining up
- 28:11Speaker 1: Eddie for your pick on the Belmont Stakes, and it's coming.
- 28:14Speaker 1: But Fred, I gotta I gotta ask you first. Last night,
- 28:18Speaker 1: John Twitter, John Torterella is challenging. Yeah, I'm not a
- 28:21Speaker 1: hockey expert, of course, like you are. I thought that
- 28:24Speaker 1: was a goal in real time. I'm not sure why. Yeah, yeah,
- 28:27Speaker 1: you're feeling on that first of all.
- 28:29Speaker 2: And then was it worth?
- 28:30Speaker 1: Was it the risk reward calculation for Tortorello worth it?
- 28:34Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 28:34Speaker 6: I saw what the Vegas Golden Knights saw, Greg, I did.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I did.
- 28:38Speaker 6: I thought that that puck was already it was continuing.
- 28:43Speaker 6: It was a continuation play. That's what I thought I saw.
- 28:46Speaker 6: And again that's just you know, from watching from the
- 28:49Speaker 6: monitors that we had in our radio booth. And Raleigh
- 28:52Speaker 6: last night. It's one of those where if you feel
- 28:58Speaker 6: one hundred percent okay, but then you have to weigh
- 29:01Speaker 6: where are we in the game, what is the situation
- 29:04Speaker 6: the circumstances. That's the cliffonal version of that. That's what
- 29:08Speaker 6: you have to try to figure out. And I saw
- 29:10Speaker 6: what they saw. I would not have a problem with
- 29:14Speaker 6: the challenge, But again, knowing the situation, knowing that you
- 29:19Speaker 6: had a two nothing lead, Carolinas come back and made
- 29:22Speaker 6: it to too.
- 29:23Speaker 2: They have all the momentum.
- 29:25Speaker 6: Is it worth that risk of being wrong and giving them.
- 29:31Speaker 2: A power play?
- 29:32Speaker 5: Now?
- 29:32Speaker 6: Their power players struggled, but it's looked better. They've created
- 29:35Speaker 6: some chances and look the last two goals they end
- 29:37Speaker 6: up scoring. We're both on the power play, so they've
- 29:39Speaker 6: got a red hot power play right now. So for me, Greg,
- 29:43Speaker 6: I saw what Vegas saw. I didn't have a problem
- 29:45Speaker 6: with the challenge, and unfortunately for Vegas ended up coming
- 29:48Speaker 6: back to bite them. But they did score late to
- 29:50Speaker 6: tie it and they got the overtime. But it would
- 29:53Speaker 6: have been interesting to see if he did not challenge it.
- 29:55Speaker 6: You know, would we have gone in overtime at Too Too?
- 29:58Speaker 6: Who knows how it all would have played out so
- 30:00Speaker 6: easy to be the you know, the Friday morning quarterback
- 30:04Speaker 6: and dissect what happened. But for me, I was okay
- 30:07Speaker 6: with the challenge.
- 30:08Speaker 1: The great Idiotric joining us from Houston as he's on
- 30:10Speaker 1: his way to Vegas for Game three tomorrow night, Stanley
- 30:13Speaker 1: Cup Final Vegas in Carolina tied one one. It'll be
- 30:17Speaker 1: on ninety three point three KJRFM tomorrow night at five pm.
- 30:20Speaker 1: What is Vegas doing, ed Zoe that I mean eleven
- 30:23Speaker 1: and one for Carolina through the first three rounds. What
- 30:26Speaker 1: is Vegas doing right now to tie in and really
- 30:28Speaker 1: change in Vegas? Or how Caroline is playing?
- 30:32Speaker 6: Yeah, they're checking Greg, They're playing so well without the pot.
- 30:35Speaker 6: For fifteen minutes of that game last night, that was
- 30:37Speaker 6: I think I used the word surgical the way they
- 30:39Speaker 6: played out in the road. They gave Carolina nothing, just
- 30:44Speaker 6: like they did in period two of Game one. They
- 30:46Speaker 6: gave them nothing, only had five shots on goal Carolina
- 30:49Speaker 6: in the second period, and they just realize is that
- 30:52Speaker 6: you can't play east West. You can't try to make
- 30:55Speaker 6: plays from board to board against Carolina in the middle
- 30:57Speaker 6: of the ice. You got to play simple. Howk Redline
- 31:00Speaker 6: and go get it and get your money makers moving.
- 31:03Speaker 6: That's your legs. Get in there and force Carolina to
- 31:06Speaker 6: come two hundred feet. They did an unbelievable job and
- 31:09Speaker 6: then all of a sudden they win to face off
- 31:11Speaker 6: in their own zone up to nothing with under ten
- 31:13Speaker 6: to go in the game, and Rasmuth Anderson, defenseman for Vegas,
- 31:18Speaker 6: had the puck on a stick in behind Carter Heart's
- 31:21Speaker 6: right shoulder behind a net, and instead of advancing it
- 31:23Speaker 6: or moving his feet and just just going station to
- 31:26Speaker 6: station move the puck out of his own he tries
- 31:29Speaker 6: to go the other way. He stops right into the traffic.
- 31:32Speaker 6: Stank Covin steals it, wraps it around, banks it in,
- 31:35Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, all hell broke loose. I
- 31:37Speaker 6: mean you talk about momentum swings right there. I mean
- 31:41Speaker 6: tried not to be dramatic during the broadcast our radio
- 31:44Speaker 6: broadcast with Johnny FORZLM last night, Greg, but I said,
- 31:48Speaker 6: like a play like that not only changes the game,
- 31:53Speaker 6: but quite possibly it changes history Vegas. If Vegas goes
- 31:58Speaker 6: up to nothing, I don't see Carolina coming back and
- 32:01Speaker 6: winning four of the last five games.
- 32:02Speaker 2: I don't.
- 32:03Speaker 6: But like that play there just turned the tide, and
- 32:07Speaker 6: then Carolina just started coming and coming, and all of
- 32:09Speaker 6: a sudden it's two to two, and then you have
- 32:11Speaker 6: the challenge, and then you get the power play, and
- 32:13Speaker 6: so it's just a lot of things happen. But I
- 32:16Speaker 6: just think that they just know what they can and
- 32:19Speaker 6: can't do now in their battle tested They want a
- 32:21Speaker 6: Stanley Cup. They have a lot of guys that have
- 32:23Speaker 6: been through it. So I just think that they know
- 32:25Speaker 6: that if we're going to have success, and we have
- 32:29Speaker 6: to play well without the puck and we cannot have
- 32:31Speaker 6: any turnovers in the middle of the ice l like
- 32:32Speaker 6: they did in period one in game one where they
- 32:34Speaker 6: gave you know, they gave Carolina, I mean two or
- 32:37Speaker 6: three free opportunities and they scored on two of the three.
- 32:40Speaker 3: All right, ed, So let's get to the second half.
- 32:44Speaker 6: Here we go, Okay, let's just let's set let's set
- 32:47Speaker 6: the table here. The Preakness they gave out the winner.
- 32:49Speaker 6: I said, you know, you talked there, Bucket mentioned about
- 32:52Speaker 6: you know, you spending your college fun and in going
- 32:56Speaker 6: to town on my bets, and if we did that,
- 32:59Speaker 6: you could you could have maybe put twenty five kids
- 33:03Speaker 6: through college.
- 33:04Speaker 2: If we would have done that, but skip college.
- 33:08Speaker 6: And hey, Greg, and I said, you know what, I'm
- 33:11Speaker 6: going to bet for Palmer. I'm gonna bet for you, Ashley.
- 33:13Speaker 6: So I have seventy eight dollars burning a hole in
- 33:16Speaker 6: my pocket. So are we gonna? Are we roping or
- 33:19Speaker 6: are we riding? Are we roping or riding?
- 33:21Speaker 3: We are riding?
- 33:25Speaker 2: Oh, we're riding. You know, it's all right. So here
- 33:27Speaker 2: we go.
- 33:27Speaker 6: There's where we're riding. Money there, right, get your that's it.
- 33:31Speaker 6: Here you're riding. You're letting it go go. So you
- 33:33Speaker 6: got seventy eight dollars. Tomorrow the Belmont Steaks go off
- 33:36Speaker 6: about four and to go off about four oh seven
- 33:39Speaker 6: Seattle time. I think it's on Fox tomorrow so people
- 33:43Speaker 6: can watch. We're going to take our seventy eight dollars
- 33:45Speaker 6: and we're going to spread it up. Or we're going
- 33:47Speaker 6: to bet fifty dollars to win on number four renegade, okay,
- 33:53Speaker 6: and then we're going to take the other. If I
- 33:56Speaker 6: do my math really quick, twenty eight dollarsay, like I'm
- 34:00Speaker 6: counting like Johnny Foresland and Freddie Punts gone to uses
- 34:03Speaker 6: his toes to count, you know. So I'm going to take.
- 34:06Speaker 6: I'm going to take ten dollars and I'm going to
- 34:09Speaker 6: play a four to three exactly, meaning it has to
- 34:12Speaker 6: come in four to three. And I'm going to play
- 34:14Speaker 6: a ten dollars four eight that it has to come
- 34:17Speaker 6: exactly that way. So I'm trying to get the top
- 34:19Speaker 6: two finishers in the Belmont tomorrow, So I'm going to
- 34:22Speaker 6: use the four, three and eight. The three is chief Wallaby,
- 34:25Speaker 6: the eight is emerging market. But I'm going to play
- 34:28Speaker 6: those exacts. It has to come in exactly four to
- 34:31Speaker 6: three or four eight. And if that ends up happening,
- 34:34Speaker 6: hopefully Ashley, I can give you about four probably beginning
- 34:37Speaker 6: up giving you maybe about three hundred to four hundred
- 34:40Speaker 6: dollars the next time I see.
- 34:41Speaker 3: You, Let's do it.
- 34:45Speaker 2: And that is why we had you on.
- 34:49Speaker 5: The listeners were like, is he going to give us
- 34:51Speaker 5: the horses this time?
- 34:55Speaker 6: And hopefully we can keep this thing going. We've been
- 34:58Speaker 6: on a good leader for the trip and we're going
- 35:00Speaker 6: to try to top it off here with the winner
- 35:02Speaker 6: of the Belmont Stakes.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Number four Renegade.
- 35:05Speaker 6: So hopefully that fifty bucks Ashley will turn into I'm
- 35:09Speaker 6: thinking he's probably gonna be somewhere in that two or
- 35:11Speaker 6: two and a half range to one. So if we
- 35:13Speaker 6: can do that, then maybe we can turn that fifty
- 35:16Speaker 6: into you know, close to you know over two hundred,
- 35:19Speaker 6: and then if we hit that exactly getting the four
- 35:21Speaker 6: to three or the four eight, that'll be another you know,
- 35:24Speaker 6: hopefully be another one hundred and twenty one hundred and
- 35:26Speaker 6: forty dollars.
- 35:26Speaker 3: I love this. I love this.
- 35:29Speaker 7: We're gonna hitch it for the Breeders Cup in the fall.
- 35:31Speaker 7: To Eddie, I'll be I'll be working, I'll be working it.
