• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You are? Okay, So let me ask you a question
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in a different way. If you had a car, would
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you take it out for a drive tonight for game
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: one of the Western Conference Final?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yes? I would?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay to know one minute late.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Take your questions. Please raise your hand and wait for
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the microphone. We'll start left side second, Rod Mark, Hey, Jared.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: First of all, is Calmaccar playing tonight?
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: He is not.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: He's not.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Five seconds left, Burns with it four seconds in his
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: own zone, shoots that I had, Nelson will tap it,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: and the Avalanche shuppered their first loss on whole night
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: from these Stanley Cup UFS Vegas up three to nothing.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: It was three to two, so they find the empty
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: matter and find the four two in to take a
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: one nothing serious lead here in the Western Conference Final.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: All right, so a lot to do this morning. Vic
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is off today, so it's myself in mos Hello, moj
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I know you're there. Last night. Good morning, not the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: ideal start that you wanted to this series. But can
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I say something real quick, I'll give you kind of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: where I'm at moj and then let you just sort
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of take the floor if you will. Sure obviously not
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: what you wanted out of Game one, and I'm trying
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to find a way to portray this accurately. Vegas deserved
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the win. Vegas was the better team last night. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't feel like a three to zero deficit was reflective
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of the game the Avs played. Though the Avs were
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: not as good as Vegas, but three to nothing sort
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of connotes that, hey, this team is dominating you, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that that is not the feel that I had from
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the game. I felt like it came down to a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: couple of really crucial mistakes by the Aves and a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: couple of really well executed things from Vegas last night,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and that's the separation. And sometimes that happens. It just
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: feels totally different because one, the As have never trailed
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in a playoff series yet this year in two the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Aves have only lost a single game, and so when
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you double your losses in one night, there's a different
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: impact emotionally on that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can understand the emotional impact of things. Absolutely,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I can you lost a home playoff game that tooo
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: mo mam. People wanted, they wanted badly understood. You weren't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: not going to you know, I mean, am I trying
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to say this? You were going to lose another hockey game?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: At some point? You were?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Last Now are you telling me you weren't going
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: sixteen and one to a Stanley Couper?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think you were going to.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Try to explain though. I thought Nathan McKinnon summed it
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: up pretty well, if that they coach summed it up
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: pretty well. But we're gonna go through a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: different things today and hopefully I can talk some people off.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: The ledge is in my understanding, having listened to a
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: little bit of the Appetizer Hour, that we have some
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Avalanche fans out there who are ready to uh ready
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to find a bridge? What are we looking at? You?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: You tell me, Brett, help me understand a little bit
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: more life. And we're going to get into this game,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to explain some good, some bad, some ugly,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: some not so bad.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I've noticed this. Look, I've been here for over seven
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: years now, Okay, so I feel like I got a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: pretty good rea on how people feel about things. There
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: are certain ways that certain fan bases react to stuff,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and I've always felt that the Avs, some AVS fans,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: maybe a vocal minority, whatever you want to call it,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: are very reactionary to a single game. And I would
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: say this if you had and we get the highlights
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: actually on right in front of us here of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: game last night. This is what it feels like to me.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: If the Avs get the Logan O'Connor shot that doesn't
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: ring off the post. And I thought loc was amazing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: last night, really good, just barely couldn't finish on that shot,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and that little backhand that he had. If you get
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Kadri at the end of the second period, who tried
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to find that last what two seconds left on the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: clock shot, if that goes in completely different field of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Nelly had a good opportunity, a pretty wide, tough angle,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: but had had some net.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fired it over the top.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Just if one of those things changes, I think the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Avs win that game. I really do, because I think
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it flips the momentum of it. You get the crowd
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: back into the game all of that. Instead, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: either Carter Hart makes a save or McKinnon, for example,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: as he's weaving through traffic, it's just him and Carter
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Hart in front of the net, and he misses wide
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: like that's not what McKinnon usually do.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Not me, I'm today. You know what I am today.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you what I am today, And I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: want everybody to listen in very very closely as the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Avs trail one game to none in the Western Conference Final.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I am a flight attendant. Hey tuts okay, nineteen sixty three. Sorry,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not there smoking, smoking Chesterfield non filters, eating steak
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: on a plane.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Those are the flight attendants that I want. I want
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the ones to bring me a whiskey with a little.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Hat thing on whiskey in a steak, yeah, in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: lounge what they call them, the fishing at the panty hose.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Pantyhose, Yeah, I want those.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: You know what, if we ever get enough money, we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: should in time, we should have bought Spirit air bro
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: and brought it all back. That's all I should have done.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You guys want whiskey in the glass and smoke on
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a flight.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I got you we got you. Okay, I am your
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: flight attendant. Let me explain. I'm sure some of you
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: out there are probably nervous flyers. Brett, how are you
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: as a flyer?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Nelly?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: How are you as a flyer?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I sleep the entire flight. I'm I'm cool, like the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: other side of the pillow motion. I have noise canceling headphones.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: If that flight was going into the side of a mountain,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Some people are nervous flyers. And because I learned to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: fly an airplane some twenty two years ago and have
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: flown many airplanes, let me explain something to you though
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: about the flight attendant analogy. Never ever panic on an airplane.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Never worry about I can try to talk you through
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: turbulence and what it means and so on and so forth.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Never worry about a damn thing until a flight attendant
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: is worried. All right, I like that. Yes, Never ever
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: worry about anything on an airplane, anything until you tell
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you can see a visible sign of a flight attendant,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: maybe a little pansy, well not even panicy, because their
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: job is to maintain chill, but you can tell yeah,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: exactly right, So you may be going through bumps and whatnot.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: And if she's doing her nails, filing her nails, sitting
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: in her little jump seat, don't sweat a damn thing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Trust me. I'm your flight attendant. And while we went
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: through some turbulence last night and maybe dropped fifty two
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: hundred feet, plane ain't going down.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, yep.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Carter Hart played his off last night. He did. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: would argue to you and Avalanche fans do with this
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: what you will, and you can be pessimistic all you want.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I'm your flight attendant. He can't play better than he
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: played last night, and he might be able to play
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: as well at times, but he cannot play better than
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: he did last night. That's number one.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: He played better than Leggie, and Reggie didn't even play poorly.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Wegie had one soft goal five hole.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The five hole stunk, yep. But I'll tell you even on.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The five hole goal, there was a four on three.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't matter. Dylan Coughlin, he's not that clever.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He's like he's like a jacka Sean, right, isn't he
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: an HL guy?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: A little bit? Yeah? And because Lazan is out, he's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: into the lineup. He's like a seventh. Yeah, he's not
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: trying to shoot five hole last night. Let me explain
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the first goal for Vegas. He's not trying to find
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the five hole on Scott Wedgwood. Believe me when I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: tell you, he's trying to go top shelf.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: And he muffled it through the five hole, yep, which
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: means when you watch his stick, watch his fallow through,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: he's trying to go up. He ain't trying to keep
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it on the ice and go through the five hole.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: He just got the the lucky yeah, wrong part of
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the puck and it stayed on the ice. So Weggie's
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: looking at his release. Weggie's looking at what his body
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: language is.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And what what what.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Does it look like he's trying to do, and Weggi's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: ready for that, and it caught him by surprise, no
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: doubt about it, because the guy's trying to go top
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: shelf and he didn't get enough of the puck and
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: it goes, it goes five hole. Carter Hart can't play
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: any better than he did. I would argue to you
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that Vegas can clean things up a little bit, but
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: they cannot play better in front of their own net
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: than they did. They checked really well in front of
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: their own net.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Corderella said that last night he did.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, well it was obvious, so he should have
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: said it. They can clean some things up in their
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: own game, they really can. But that's Vegas. What you
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: saw last night, that's their game. So expect six more
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of those. Okay, how well did they CounterPunch? Really well,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that's what they do.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they get out shot a lot, but then they
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: find their opportunities and they capitalize. And I think that's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: what last night was about, is, Look, the Abs are
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: good in that category.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Two.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: They weren't last night. They just weren't last night. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and that's to me, why look disappointed? Yes, but I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: not panicking at all. I'm gonna.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna. I'm gonna continue on here, go ahead.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: The power play goal, dor Fiev nice nice play. Mitchie
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Martin made nice play. Yeah, I mean the Avs seemingly
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: did all the right things, but Burns sort of chased
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: through the slot a little bit to the man in
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the corner and then it went behind him. Nonetheless, good shot,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: good players make good plays, and that's what happened with
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Mitchie Marner because he's chasing that puck but is able
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to get it on the on the each in the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: stretch and delivered to Dori Fiev. What it did is
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: it just separated you enough allowed do Fiev to make
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that shot the third goal. Look, they're they're on an
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: odd man rush.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: But howd he bats it out in mid air with
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: his glove I know?
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: And he barely gets a stick on it right before
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: it crosses the goal line. It would have been no
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: goal clearly batting it into an empty net, but he
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: just got it. It'd be like if you knocked it
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: down and then and then shot it. That's how they
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: count that goal. So it was a pretty fortunate goal
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: too to have it. To have ONGs would make the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: save and it's going high in the air and he
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: reaches out and bag. I mean, so some things went
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: against you. No excuse making here because the Avs, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: let me go to the f's part, they can improve
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a lot, a lot, and they will improve a lot.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Trust me when I tell you they are going to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: be much better. And still it really it's a three
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to two game, okay, So I'm not here today to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: even remotely go Loomer. I'm not. I'm sitting here today
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: cool as a cucumber. I am your flight attendant. Listen
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: to me. I'm gonna take you through more of this game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take you through more of things that they
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: can clean up, things they can do better. But just
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: rust as short here in this first segment that I
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: got you today, and it's gonna be okay.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So I think there were three moments in that game
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that kind of change things in the favor of Vegas
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that will get to in just a second. I want
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to I want to note some guys they think gott
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to be better in game two than in game one. Look,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I there's a little bit of a learning curve that's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: gonna take place when cal mccarr, one of the best
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: players in the world, isn't on the ice. That's to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: be expected. But I think even in spite of that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: majority of the game, I would say, I think that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: now that it was a lot, but at least fifty
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to fifty the Avs had the the ice tilted in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: their favor even without maccarr.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I've got so much more to explain to you, Brett.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I've got so much more to explain to you. Why
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I am zero panic today.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you, and this is not.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: This is not Homer, this is not burgdy colored glasses, this.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Is not You were not dominated last night. It's not
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: as if Vegas just totally wrecked you. They just made
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of play You're on the right track. So
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we'll get more into this in just a little bit.
• 13:33

• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Let's let's get it. Let's get more into you. Right.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Let me give you can I give you three things,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and I sure were the biggest impacts from the game
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: last night. And there's multiple things you can throw in here,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: but just off the top of my head, Number one
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is a soft goal that was given up in a
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: zero zero game where goals were hard to come by.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I think that one just hurts because.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: We're pretty tight until then, Yes.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: There was nothing happening. Things were tight. When you have
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: a game like this, if you get an easy goal,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that's just it's it's more than being down one to nothing.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It's man. Goals are hard to come by, and they
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: got one easy, and that's I think mentally, that's a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: little bit more brutal. Number two, when you discussed yesterday motion,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this heading into this series and even
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the series against Minnesota, stay out of the box. The
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: others didn't make a parade to the box last night,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But to go down one to nothing and to take
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: a frustration penalty because that's what Ross Colton got and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I get it. It was a little bit of a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: cell job and all of that stuff.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Point is, you don't I worry about Anderson, I know motion,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I I.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Know he embellished and sold. Oh you think, but don't
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: put yourself in a position to go to the box
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: when you go down one to nothing. Agreed, That's all
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, could they have called the same thing
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: on who punched Cadri at the end of the second period? Oh,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: or the end of the first one?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Was it? Uh? But uh, it wasn't a hand of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: fin oh whatever?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Who whatever?
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Was it McNab, Yeah, it might have been McNab behind
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the cage.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, Cadri tried to sell that one too.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You didn't get the call. Whatever. The point is, don't
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: take a stupid frustration penalty when you're down one to nothing.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Was it Hutton? It might have been Hutton. I'm trying
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to remember, good because that leads.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: To the second goal and now you're really really in
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a hole. And then thirdly, I think that here's what's interesting.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of times teams NHL teams, when the postseason
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: comes around, they get production out of their top guys,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and they just lack execution on the bottom the f's
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I think I had the opposite problem last night. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: thought your bottom six were excellent. Logan O'Connor might have
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: been the best player on the ice the entire I thought.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I thought Kelly, Drury and loc were I thought they
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: were very good, excellent.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I thought your top line guys weren't good. I thought
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: McKinnon they were.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: They were not. They were not one unit last night.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I agreed McKinnon was dangerous, I guess at times, but
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: when he got some prime opportunities, he misses the net
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: on that one that he's right in front of Carter
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: heart Natchius. I think this was towards the end of
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the game. But he's he gets into the zone with speed.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It looks like he can cut to the middle of
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the ice, and he just sort of pivots and throws
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a pass to nobody that exits the zone. That can't happen.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: And you knew that was going on because Bennar was
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: flipping those guys up and down, up and down, up
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and down, trying to find something between them. Your top
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: guy's gotta be better.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: You're not going to separate twenty nine and eighty eight.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: All right, at least not yet. You're not going to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: do that. So you're gonna give them, like they have
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: all season long, the opportunity to find their groove. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I'm confident that they will in Game two.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: But I think just a lot of those factors kind
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: of went into it. And there's somebody who want to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: focus on here in a second, But go ahead and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: mouch what you got.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: When you look at the game last night. There are
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: times when when I would be concerned about the Colorado Avalanche.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Last night was one was not one of them. If
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: they're getting cycled to death in their own zone and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: a team is getting several kicks at the can, I'd
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: be worried. Were they cycled to death in their own
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: zone last night? No, no, No, they weren't. No. If
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: you just weren't able to get shots on net, if
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you weren't able to get chances, if you weren't able
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: to do anything, it is disconnected and whatnot. As they
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: were at times different lines last night offensive zone play,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: they still got thirty eight shots on goal. They had
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go to the event summary here. Momentarily
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: they had twenty three shots blocked last night. It's it's there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: It just needs to come out. Yeah, it's there. Oh,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: trust me, want to tell you it's there. It just
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have to be better in game two. I'm
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: confident they will.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Speaking of block shots. One last thing, by the way,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that I thought was a major key. And I don't
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: know why. It feels like this happens a lot. And
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: explain this to emotion. Maybe this is just a mental
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: thing when you're on a power play and god, do
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I hate split period power plays.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Well, you had two of them last night.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I know it. Just it feels like it takes the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: wind out of your sales and you've got to execute
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: at a much faster level and all that. So I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: hate those. But at the end of a power play,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I see teams do this all the time, and I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: don't know why this is. There seems to be a
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: panic when there's a few seconds left in a power play,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and there's no reason to be that. The period doesn't
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: end at the end of a power play, it just
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: becomes five on five. So Malinsky's decision with a couple
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of seconds left of oh god, and this would have
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: felt like to me maybe I'm wrong most maybe he
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: felt like he had a window and he didn't. But
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it felt to me that Malenski was starting to panic
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: with a couple seconds left in the power Players, like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I gotta get this on net, and he just decides
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to fire one right into the chest to the dude
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in front of him. And now it's a two on
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: one going the other way. And look Howden's got three
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: short handed goals this postseason. I know this one doesn't
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: technically count as a shorthanded, but you allowed that to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: go two on one the other direction, correct, I mean.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: That's he pounded it right into a leg and it
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, but imagine what Try to remember what that
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: puck did. He pounded it right into a leg. It
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: goes over everybody's head. Yeah, bro, I mean Rickochet's back
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: over your head and flutters right to homeboy getting out
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: of the home box.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It looked like the marathon runner who took the bust
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: twenty four miles and then just hopped out and started springing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That's right. I mean, it's like, are you and by
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the way, you could do that again. It's and this
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is what I tell you. It's the little things. One
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: little thing here and there. That makes the difference in
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: a gamer in a series, and it may I don't
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: know how the future holds. I'm not worried about things
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: right this second. I'm your flight attendant, mister Moses. Yeah, no,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to give you more more, doctor Pepper. No,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: all right, sit down, put your seatbelt on. Okay, enough
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: of that. Let me give you another number that is
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: satisfying to nuts. Here's another number that's satisfying. Total attempts
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: for the Colorado Avalanche. And I tracked this on a
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: game by game basis. It gives me a good indication
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: of how they're going. And by the way, they didn't
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: look great last night, but here's an indication that things
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: were still okay and on the right track. They had
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: eighty total attempts last night, thirty eight shots on goal,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: twenty four that were at the net blocked or after
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: it blocked, and eighteen that missed. Okay, that total adds
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: up to what thirty eight plus twenty four plus eighteen
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: equals eighty. I think the Avs are really humming, and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I mean they're on all cylinders, really humming. When that's
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: at ninety, sure, I like it to be fifty fifty
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: or more through two periods of play. That number is
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: still a good, good number. Don't get me wrong. That's
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a good number. Vegas, on the other hand, their total
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: was fifty two twenty eight shots on goal, twelve shots blocked,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: twelve that missed.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Now, remember this, Vegas does this a lot though. This
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: is kind of that shot a lot.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: That is correct. But what I'm telling you is they
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: didn't have high volume last night. They simply did not. Defensively.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I thought the Avs they bent a couple of times
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: talking about in their own zone, but it was basically
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the opportunities that you handed to Vegas they capitalized on,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: which is what good hockey clubs do. Yeah, you give
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: them an inch, They're gonna take a mile. That's what
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: they do. So don't give them an inch. When Jared
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Bendenark comes on this program, or you hear him sit
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: in front of the microphone and say, we gotta clean
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: some things up, what's he talking about?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Neutral zone turnovers, not giving up odd man rush here exactly.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, support, I mean all these little things that they know.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: They're gonna go through the film today. They're gonna go
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: through clips, they're gonna talk about things. They're gonna reemphasize
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: what is good for them, what is correct for them.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: They're going to be okay. But those numbers last night
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: were good. They were good numbers. I don't mind those
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: numbers whatsoever.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: And textures are writing this in, and people are writing
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: this in, and look, I get it. The amount of
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: copium mosure is spewing this morning is wild. I want
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to be clear about something.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Like people, you people, okay, I don't.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I want people to go back and remember how we
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: were discussing if the claim here is the company man thing.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Do you guys remember what our discussions were during the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Nugget series. Did we sound like we were uncritical of
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the nuggets then? Or did it sound like we were
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: crushing them to the point where we got into a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: feud with Minnesota because we were calling our own teams
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: soft last night. I'm being honest with you, and I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: feel like I need to repeat this like twice a week.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: But for those who are new to the program, I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: we made one promise to you when this show started.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot you straight. I'm gonna tell you exactly
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: what's on my mind. And here's what's on my mind
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: from last night. The better team won the game. Vegas
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: executed in the moments they had to execute the Avs.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We're right there. I truly feel that way, and it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: why I'm not panicked. Obviously, you're bombed, you're a little
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: pissed that you're down one to nothing. But if you
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: came away from that game saying, well, Vegas is the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: better team, they're gonna win this series, I think you're nuts.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I think that the APS could easily easily Mouche win
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Game two tomorrow, go to Vegas in Game three, win
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that and have the momentum right back in the favor.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But people, here's the thing. I don't know when. I
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: don't know when. It's society. We got there, but people loved.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but it seems like
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: people sometimes love to wallow in misery. Oh they love
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: they they they're more comfortable in life when they're scared
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: or they're pessimistic. There's I'll tell you this, and I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: don't I don't know when that started. Maybe it's always
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: been there. I don't know, but I'm not I can
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: promise you today, folks, I'm not homering. I'm not whistling
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: by the graveyard. I'm not coping large amounts of copium
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: this morning. I'm not at all. This is absolutely look
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: at my face, it's absolutely real. I'm not talking myself
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: into anything. I'm looking at raw data and I'm looking
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: at what I saw last night, and I'm telling you
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be okay.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I think that you know, I've thought this for a while,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that AVS fans are just for whatever reason, and I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: think it's a vocal minority. They're just a little bit
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: more panicky than your typical fan is, and especially this
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: year motion And I'll give you an example of what
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I think is happening this morning, and maybe the disconnect
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: between what I'm saying and what a lot of you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: guys are feeling right now and what Moja're saying. The
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Avs have almost never and this is difficult to do
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: most from the time the season started October. What was
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it like, October seventeenth, fourteenth, something like that, right October seventh,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: pro seventh bro From October seventh pro to today is
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: May twenty first. I think this is maybe the first time,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the number one time that the Abs have faced any
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: adversity this.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Year, any real adversity.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you lost Game three in Minnesota, you're
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: still up to one. That's not adversity. Nope, okay, see.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: It has a little bit of it is, but it's
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: not significant.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, but it's not you. You're still in control, right,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You still lead the series. Even when you were you
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: had that stretch before the pre Olympic break Landy out
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and Lucky out and you lost.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: The month the month of January. You're kind of bouncing
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: up and down all around.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You were still in first place, You're still the number
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: one team in the league. It's the first time all
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: year that the Aves have faced some real adversity. Guess what,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I think it'd be good. It could be good for them.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I do. And if you don't think they're gonna respond
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: like this is what Jared Bednar said after the game yesterday,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and do you have confidence are gonna bounce back history.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: It's not like we haven't lost schemes this year and
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: bounced back, you know, was saying this morning. Generally, when
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: we address things as a group that we need to
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: be better at and give them like clear direction, we
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: are usually better at them.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: That's that's another big break, and it's like even at
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: times like good like good decisions, good puck decisions, tonight
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: we're mis executed and led to some trouble against in
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: all three zones, and then some of our decisions it
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: just looked like we weren't seeing it quick enough. I
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: got a lot of belief in the group. I'm not
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: panicking about it. But next game is obviously a big game.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: In that regard the last part, I go ahead, finish
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: up if you want to.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: All I was gonna say was this. This wasn't an
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: example of you got throttled by a team and you
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: need to go back to the drawing board. This is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: simple execution mistakes. Just a couple more here motion. Here's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: mckinner after the game answers.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: You know, they didn't do a whole lot either. It
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: was kind of a nothing game and then they got
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: a few goals and really good team obviously, but I
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: thought we did a lot of damage to ourself. Yeah,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: just guys, kind of everywhere. Execution, like I said, is
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: to be better, and you know, obviously we're capable of
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: being during that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: And then they followed up stink to really.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Take from how that gaming did or I've just said
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: execution like five thor was I think that's.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: What hurts you.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Weren't you weren't getting beat up in a way of like,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: oh this team is just man, they out talented you,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: or they they out hustled you, or anything like. I
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: don't think that was the case last night. I think
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: there was two or three different moments, maybe four or
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: five actually that were either Vegas did execute, tilted the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: game in their favor, or you didn't where you could
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: have gotten momentum and that the feel of the game
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: back towards you. You didn't execute. Small things those are
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: entirely correctable.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: You know what? That is sports? A lot, yeah, yes,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: but a lot of it is. Also part of it
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: is Vegas played pretty damn well, especially in front of
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: their own net.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: They just earned the win last time they did.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: But part of it also is that's an eight that's
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: eight days off, is what you saw. That's what that is?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Your car?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, but this team can still win without Kalmchure.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: They can, but that's what you saw. You're off a
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: little bit here, you know again, Brett, this game is
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: so damn fast nowadays. Then used to be this way
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: thirty years ago. Forty years ago. But if you hesitate
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: for even I mean point seven to three seconds more sure,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: then you should the play is not made. And that's
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: where the Okay, we're just a little disconnected, had eight
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: days off. This is game speed against a very good team.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: That's where that is. I'm not again, there's zero cope
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: going on. And all of you out there, if you
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: want to go live in your hole and and stick
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: your you know, stick your head against the wall and
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: pound your head, then go ahead and do that. I'm
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: not doing that. I'll tell you when to do that.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And by the way, it may be Monday, I don't know.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: But here's what I do know. This team responds incredibly well. Internally,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: they have an unbelievable response, let alone the coaching staff.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: And you don't trust this team. You don't trust some
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: of the best players on the planet. Shame on you.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Keyword for this hour to get you in the building
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: for game two, text the word Iceberg in your first
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: and last name to three oh three, five, four nine
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: two five back after this.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Iceberg is the name Iceburg. Gonna get some Iceberg.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: So a few things here, Hey, can I say this please?
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Losing sucks. Losing is not fun. Walking out of the
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: arena last night, I was not like, oh geeky gheedy
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: goo goo. No man, I'm like that sucked, but a bummer.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: You're gonna lose in sports man, it's going to happen.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Let me pose a question to the freaky freaks out there,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: and you know what, you know what the sad part
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: is we sit here at seven forty four am and
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I love you people, but I think your mindset maybe
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: needs a little bit of an adjustment, or perhaps you're
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: just emotionally regressed. There are some people out there right
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: now who are just waiting and hoping that things go
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: wrong so they can be And I told you so person.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Yeah, they would rather live
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: in the it's gonna go bad and then have that
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: that they may try to manifest that into reality so
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: they can quote be right, which is not a good
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: way to think. It's not a healthy way to think.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Here's it right?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, I think it is because I guarantee you, Brett,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have your You have people out there, maybe
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: they're biggest fans, but who would love to get in
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: your face on Monday morning and just stick it to
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: you in some regard, you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I was right, you were wrong. You suck you that
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. This team this year, this Avalanche team,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: as you said, from October seventh and a win over
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: the LA Kings to now May twenty first, twenty twenty six,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: when have they ever given you a reason to not
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: trust them?
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Have it?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: All year?
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, have they given you a reason to doubt?
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Really how good of a hockey club they are?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: No, they have been the best team in the entire
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: league the entire year. The first time after last night,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you're facing a modicum of adversity.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Your captain's out for a month, one of your Olympic
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: defenceman top pairs out for a month. You kick the
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: can around the parking lot for a while, you get
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the Olympic break, come back, and then what do you do?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Kick ass?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, they've never given you a reason all season long
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: to not trust them. And if you're going back to
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: twenty twelve, how does hey, moj how does twenty twenty
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: one compare? It's completely different.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll give you the biggest difference. The Avs one
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Game one in twenty twenty one, they were up two
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and to nothing in that series.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: It is completely different.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's what I wanted to get to.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: So I'm just again.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I'll give you points, and I'll give you guys that
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I think need to be better. Okay, I actually thought
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that brock Nelson played a decent game last night. Had
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: a couple of really good shifts. When brock Nelson gets
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the puck in front of Carter Hart, he can't put
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: it in his chest. He needs to pick a spot.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: He had a terrific redirect. Yes, that heart gloved. Now
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'll say this just overall. Here's a comparison I made
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: earlier in the show. In most I'm a baseball guy.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Two decades, two decades of my life were spent doing.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: This, So no guff chet. We know.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: So you can be in a slump in baseball and
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: still be barreling the ball up, which means you aren't
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: getting the result that you want, you aren't getting the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: output that you want, but you feel like you're doing
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: things properly.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: You're hitting line drives to three ten dead center.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: The amount of times I've been in a slump, and
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I'll hit one that's one hundred and five off the
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: bat that goes straight to a third basement, take two
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: steps out of the box, he catches it, I walk back.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, what am I gonna do? I squared
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the ball up.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like a lot.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Of guys in that second line, whether it's Val who
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: did score last night, or brock Nelson or somebody, they're
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of good things in the postseason a lot,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: but maybe not getting scoring outputs from it. And brock Nelson,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: who I thought played okay last night, played pretty good.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: He's got three points in the postseason. Two of them
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: are empty net goals. There's gotta be more there, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that's where guys, I think, need to step up, especially
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: in the absence of one of the best players in
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the world in cal mccarr. Obviously, you need your McKinnon's
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and Natus's and guys like that to play well. But
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: that onus of mccarr not being in the game. Isn't
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the responsibility of jacka Sean to go out and play well.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: It's a responsibility of those guys. It's brock Nelson's and
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: people like that. And again, even if you're playing well,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: gotta find a way to put the puck in the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: back of the net, don't. I'm not saying that you
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: need to go just crazy and have you know, eight
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: points in the next four games. But what I am
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: saying is you have to be a little bit more
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: dangerous than you've been, that's all, and actually get the
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: result out of it. You know, it was a big
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: kicking the jimmy last night or yesterday morning when there
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: was just kind of this feeling that Cale was gonna
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: play and then the rug gets pulled out from under
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: you and you got to go out and execute in
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a different manner. You saw it affect things like Devontave's
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: is super talented. Moj Cal running the blue line on
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: the top of that power play is just its ideal
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: because he's dangerous in.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: A way that one's a right handed shot, one's a
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: left handed shot. Right, So things change. Things look different,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: The way the puck moves is different. Your scene passes
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: go to a guy you know who's not again that
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: would be a kale right on the tape on the forehand, Bam,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Taser's gotta stop it pivot. I mean, so it's going
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: to look different for a little bit. There ain't no
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: doubt about it. But you need to adjust and this
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: team has shown a remarkably good propensity to adjust in
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the past. They really have. Yeah, look, there's a lot.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I get it, people, I get it. There's a lot
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: on the line this postseason. There's a lot on the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: line in this series. I get it. This whole year,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot on the line. You have windows,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: you have shelf life. I get all of that, and
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: you want it badly. I do too. I'm gonna shoot
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: you straight if I feel if I feel like there's
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: a like, oh my god, now this is you, absolutely
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I will tell you well.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: And I just I want to go. I don't want
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: to keep making comparisons back to the Nuggets, but I
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: want to give perspective on and why I feel differently
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: than I did in that series. If you go back
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: and look at the way that we were speaking after
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets and t Wolf series, after games I was
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: angry and panicked because it felt as if the Nuggets
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: were getting punked when they went out there. That's how
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: it felt that every night, Sure, every night that they
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: took the floor, you had a team that they were
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: playing against that was more physical and mentally tough than
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: they were, that was able to just hound you in
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: a way that you couldn't CounterPunch, like moj for the Nuggets,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Jamal Murray had zero counter to the defense that Jaden
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: McDaniels was playing on him. He couldn't do anything about it.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Watching Game one against Vegas last night, I do not
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: have that feeling. The Avs were not punked in that game.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: They weren't out talented. It was a sin simple matter
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of execution. Like here's Ben NAR's opening statement post game.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I thought it was good at times and not good
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: enough at others. Like the start of the game, good energy,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: good pace. I thought we faded away for twenty minutes.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, I completely agree with that. People asked me after
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the first period, how'd you like the first I said,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I love the first seven minutes. I hated the rest
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: of it. Oh, what do you have a text you
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: want to show me? Yeah?
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: A second? Yeah for six yeah, right, first six minutes
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: were ours. Second six minutes were Vegas like they came
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: out of the gates with I thought urgency, with speed,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: with I think, pretty good execution, and then it just
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: felt like, well, Vegas is gonna happens when you play
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: a good team. By the way, it's the ebbs and
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: flows of a game against two good teams. That happens.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you Vegas is going to be feeling the
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: exact same way that you people are feeling some of
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: you people are feeling today. They're going to be feeling
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: the same thing at some point in this series. Playoff
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: hockey is hard. Sometimes you win, hopefully you win more
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: than you lose, but you're also going to lose. It's
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: going to happen, and it is not fun.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I guess a perfect example. Here's a perfect
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: example of what I'm talking about. Here. TEXTA says, you
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: guys are acting like they lost in the last two
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: minutes on a lucky shot. The Knights owned them all game.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: The Abs were never in the game. The game was
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: zett It's not true. The game is so untrue. The
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: game was zero zero, was seven and a half left
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: in the second period, never game long.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: What do you mean by that? That's such a silly statement.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat this for a sensitive years out there
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: that don't know how to. I guess use some critical
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: thinking skills, or repeat this one more time. Motion Vegas
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: was the better team last night. Vegas earned the win.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Vegas was not lucky. They were better. They were not
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: three to nothing better, is what I'm trying to say.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I understand that's what the score said, but the flow
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: of the game, the way that things were executed. When
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the Avs go up three to nothing on a team
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: like I don't know, Los Angeles in the first round,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: they're that much better than LA. That's just how it is.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: That game was a circumstance of simple, little execution problems.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: And this is a credit to Vegas. Vegas is awesome
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: at executing their little opportunities. Like when they get their chances,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: they finished them. The Avs did not last night. But
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the point I'm trying to make is do I think
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: that will change moving forward?
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: One?
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: And you can't. You can't say that this is looking
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: at things who rose colored glasses, when again, this was
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: not the tone that I used a couple of weeks
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: ago with the Nuggets. The Nuggets I saw there were
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: some massive issues that they were not able to overcome
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: in that series.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: We'll read that text to me again. Place as we
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: get to the top.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Here, you guys are acting like they lost in the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: last two minutes on a lucky shot. The Knights owned
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: them all game. Abs were never in the game.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I sit here today looking into this camera, talking to
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: people on the airwaves who could hear me all over
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: the place. Alexa play Altitude ninety two five got them,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: and I questioned my own reality. I question if I'm
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: in one of these freaking alternate universe. Hold on, because
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: that person and me, I we did not watch the
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: same game.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: That's how I feel.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: So okay, So I don't know what universe that person,
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: what's the what's the what's the what's the Yes, they
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: didn't put their name on it, but thirteen twenty five,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: thirteen twenty five, maybe you are one of these aliens
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I see on my timeline from time to time, right,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: these aliens that people are talking about. Maybe you've got
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: yourself another dimension that you're coming from, and you watch
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: a different hockey game than I watched. Because what you
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: just wrote is not reality. No offense, Love you three.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Three five, four h nine two five. A lot more
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: to break down with this game. Keep it tuned here
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: on the twenties every hour your chance to get in
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: the building for game two back after this
