Between The Pipes: Adrian Denny on the Stanley Cup Final, Rookie goalie saving the series for Carolina, Will there be a game 7 (?) + more · The Sean O'Connell Show

• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You were listening to a Sean O'Connell show, your source
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: for the best youth football company. Here's oc from the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Murdoch Hyundai Studios of ESPN seven.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Hundred ninety two one half m.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Time to go between the pipes.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: My good friend Adrian Denny, brought to you by Valley Plumbing,
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Heating and Cooling and the Latin industries. Our NHL slash
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Utah Mammoth insider joins us here in studios once a week.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Hi, Adrian, Hey Sean, crazy to be with you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: What a rating last night? Huh? Holy cow?
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Just just another one where a team scores early, has
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: a multi goal lead, blows it. It's tied in the
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: third period. We look like we're tick into overtime. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: then Jordan Stall gets his fourth goal of the playoffs,
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: or I should say his fourth goal of the final,
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: fourth goal of the final. And then he gets his
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: fifth goal of the final and Carolina takes it, ties
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: it up, and as we said last week, it's hockey fans,
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: we're just rooting for a seven game series.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I think here.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just been it's been an incredible series.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: It's been an incredible Stanley Cup playoff. The whole way through.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: You you just highlighted the insanity of this particular series.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: There's been blown leads in every single game.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Vegas apparently just loves to play great second period hockey.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: They're just boring it on the second period, so you
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: never really know what you're gonna get Forrest Gum style.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But now this series is noted up at two to two,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: they go back to Raleigh, and one of the biggest
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: stories here is not the stars on either team. One
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: of the biggest stories right now is the fact that
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Carolina found themselves in a bit of a desperation situation
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: in goal and Brandon Bussy making his first playoff start,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: ends up saving eighteen to twenty one shots, gets his
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: team to win, and I think makes a strong case
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that it's probably stayed with the hot hand kind of
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: a situation when they're back on home ice.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: What do you think of that story?
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Carolina over the last couple of years has been
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: kind of a musical chairs team in their goaltending department.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Of course, Freddy Anderson starts the playoffs off for him
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: twelve and one, and then they're down four to nothing.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: On Saturday nights, they put Bussy in in the third
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: period his Stanley Cup Playoff debut, and then the question was, okay,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: what do they do with Vegas winning and going up
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: two games to one, and they go with Bussy And
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: not only did Anderson not start, he did not dress
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Pyotr Kachekov, who's kind of their their prospect goalie. He
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: has been for the last couple of years, who as
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: a fun personality and he's competitive. I've been waiting for
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: him to take over the crease for Carolina for the
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: last two three years. Is I mean Freddy Anderson's getting
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: getting a little older, right, And then in October they
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: claim this Brandon Bussy off of Waivers, who Florida was
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: trying to send to the AHL. He was their third goalie.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: They signed him to be their AHL goalie, but he
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: had the clear waivers to get back down there. Carolina
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: claims him. He goes thirty one, six and two with Carolina.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: He has stretches where he wins fourteen to fifteen starts,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: nine to ten starts, six to seven starts during the season,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: so he's he's got kind of kind of hot hand.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: They signed him to a multi year deal and then
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: as they get closer to the playoffs, Freddie Anderson kind
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: of took over and he becomes the goalie. So they
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: put Brandon Bussy in. He's a guy that three years
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: ago was playing in the ECCHL and just kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: a minor league goalie in the Boston system. Florida signs
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: him and here we are. He starts his first playoff
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: game last night, which was in the final, first goalie
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: since nineteen sixty seven to make his first start in
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: the Stanley Cup Final and also win it. And he's,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: you know, twenty seven, So kind of a fun story there,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: and you look at the game. He made some big
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: saves for Carolina. They tie up the series, and it
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: seems just kind of appropriate for this series, right that
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden mid series, Carolina has a has
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: a goal take over and are they going to ride
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: him the rest of the way.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: So the last time somebody won in goal, somebody won
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: their playoff debut was when they were wearing like the
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Friday the thirteenth to Jason style masks in the goal
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: in the NHL, a totally different era of NHL hockey.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Was the last time we saw something like this.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, in the final to just come out of nowhere,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: first start in the final in the playoffs, win it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Two other guys had done it since nineteen sixty seven,
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: make their playoff debut in the Stanley Cup Final, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: they didn't they didn't win. But just a fun story
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: there for Bussy, who has had a storybook season as
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: it is. He was ticketed to the American Hockey League
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: with Florida sending him there as their third goalie, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: then and then comes out earns a long term deal
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: with Carolina and if that was enough, here he is
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: starting and winning his first playoff game in the final.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: You've just sent me down a rabbit hole on what
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: goaltending was like in nineteen sixty seven. Nobody even painted
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: their masks back then. That didn't start until nineteen seventy.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Everyone was just wearing those white plastic masks, which, by
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the way, compared to the equipment that they have now,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: it's like criminal that this is what these guys were
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: protecting their faces with back then.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And ten years before that they weren't even.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Wearing they weren't even wearing masks. Yeah, they were just
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: getting stitches every night. Absolutely insane. All right, So now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: great story for Bussy I'm going to assume that Brenda
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Moore stays with the hot hand and lets him start
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: in Game five and we're down to a three game
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: series effectively, how does it play out?
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Gosh, I don't think anybody knows. It's the third highest
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: scoring series in Final history, highest scoring since nineteen eighty one.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: But one interesting thing, oh see, and I don't remember
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: this because you know, Florida and Edmonton was a good series.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: They started off with back to back overtime games last year,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: but that was the fifth highest scoring series all time.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: So we've seen thirty three goals in four games. No
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: lead is safe. You've got Brett Howden with the twelve
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: goals in the regular season, already having set a Vegas
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: franchise record with fourteen goals, more goals than Mitch Marner,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: who we've talked about. You've got a guy like Jordan
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Stall that the captain for Carolina, becoming the fourth player
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: since nineteen sixty seven to score at least a goal
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: in the first four games at the Stanley Cup Final.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: He's back in the Final for the first time since
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: two thousand and nine, when he was just a kid
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Winning it with Sidney Crosby and
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: of Guiney Malkins. So he's seventeen years between final appearances.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: He's the captain of Carolina and he's the same age
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: as Carolina head coach Rod Brindamore when he was the
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: captain of Carolina in six when they won their last
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Stanley Cup championship, their only Stanley Cup championship. And Jordan's
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: older brother Eric was on that team as kind of
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: a young pup for Carolina. So I remember watching that
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: series back in six. He had Eric Stall playing for Carolina,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: and then he had his three little brothers, Eric and
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: his brothers Mark and Jordan and Jared, and.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: We're just waiting for him. There were three kids.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: They were showing the family photos and them at the
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: lake up in thunder Bay, Ontario, and this big, huge
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: hockey family that was gonna have three more brothers playing
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: in the NHL, which they all did. And now you've
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: got Jordan captaining Carolina.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: That that final goal that everyone's freaking out about.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: You've so you've watched so much hockey, and we saw
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: some just bananas like deflections, some crazy effectively lacrosse goals
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: in the NHL.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: This year.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Uh, And you know you still get on inspiring goals
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: from players that other players are like, I don't know
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: how we pulled that one off.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: That was incredible off of a turnover behind the net.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: This has not been a mistake free series. Saturday night
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: when Vegas jumped up for nothing, you could look at
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: at least three of those goals and say, oh, Carolina,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: what are you doing? And then you get to the
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: third period it's like, oh, Vase, what are you doing?
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: And it's not been mistake free. It's been fun. Hasn't
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: been perfect. There's been some some little oop sees like
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: that where you have a turnover in a bad spot.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: But oh see, there's been so many instances like that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: You have a turnover and a bad spot and a
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: goalie makes a huge saving. It's like yes, yes, oh no,
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: And then on the second chance a few seconds later,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: puck ends up on a stick like that at Jordan
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Stall and Carter Hart just couldn't quite get over there,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: as Stall was able to lift it backhanded, backhand at home.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: So not a perfect series, but a fun series. But
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: you know, you get to this. They say hardest trophy
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: to win in sports, and it's a sounds cliche, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: oh see, you see how these guys, you know, they're
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: two months after the regular season ends, still playing in
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: a sport where the body you know has taken a beating.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: And I think we've seen it, especially in this series,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: with the way that these two teams play, like, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: can see why. You know, guys aren't one hundred percent.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Energy is not one hundred percent, but but they're they're
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: going all out.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I think that one of the reasons why we hear
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: in Utah embraced hockey the way that we have in
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: the time that we got hockey right is when a
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: lot of the conversation and other pro sports is always
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: just about like, oh, you gotta be careful with this guy,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: you gotta arrest that guy, you gotta load manage this guy,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and all of those things just they just don't belong
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: in hockey. They just are not accepted in hockey. When
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: you ask a basketball question to a hockey guy, they're
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: always very kind and gracious with their answers, but they
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: like they can't even imagine that that thought process just like, uh, yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I'm hurt, but what we're in the playoffs? What do
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you mean I'm not gonna play like they can't even
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: fathom it, and I think that's just something that is
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: still unique.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: It is I shouldn't say still unique.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: It is now it feels like it is unique to hockey,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: where I think it was a lot more common in
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: all pro sports back in the day. And it's like
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: hockey's kind of the last game standing, where the pros
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: are like, yes, I'm gonna take care of my body.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna do the things necessary, but my job is
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: to provide for this team. My job is to perform
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: for this team, so I'm gonna do that at my
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: own expense.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I've got a lot of casual sports fans in my family,
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: and I wouldn't even call them sports fans. But a
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: couple nights ago my parents' house, we're getting ready to
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: watch Nick Spurs and Knicks are taking the court. My
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: mom says, boy, those guys have no idea what it
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: would be like to be in the Stanley Cup.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Final right now.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: And then yesterday I'm at my brother's house and my
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: sister in law is top talking about Brayden McNabb and
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: how his face got ripped off by a puck, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: then my seven year old niece who plays sports, is
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: a sports fan, but I wouldn't call her the die
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: hard hockey fan like your ten year old brother. She
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: starts diagnosing what happened. And that's a guy who came
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: out the next game after being in the hospital for
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: most of Game two, plays almost forty minutes and last
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: night almost scored a goal that was taken away at
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: the buzzer. But to talk to folks and seeing him,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: notice like, holy cow, that that guy had his face
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: ripped off. And he's back the next night playing forty
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: minutes and then he almost scores another goal that would
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: have been huge in the next game. But gosh, yeah,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: these yeah, these guys, these guys go all out.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Also going on right now in the NHL world, the
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: NHL scouting combine happening and the Utah Mammoth are not
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: in the same you know, like lottery position, thank goodness,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: because they're a playoff team. But when we talk about
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: the evaluation process of the talent that's on the on
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: the way up, the talent in the pipeline right now
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: for this Utah Mammoth team, we've been discussing that with
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: the guys that are in the juniors and maybe expected
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: to make a leap sooner than later. These stories coming
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: out of this scouting combine and the way that the
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: scouting combine is conducted relative to the NBA and the NHL,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: or excuse me, in the NFL. So there's some really
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: interesting stuff here, some some funny meat on the bone
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: with like some of the interview questions and things like that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: How much attention have you paid recently to this NHL
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: scouting combine?
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Mike Fulton and I were talking about it on yesterday's
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: episode to Mammoth Daily. Yeah, it's it's great to get
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the weights and the measures and to use the fastest
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: of this and blah blah blah. But let's talk about
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: the questions getting asked, the interview questions and and Utah
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: made headlines a couple of years ago in twenty twenty
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: four when it was reported by Bleacher Report that Utah
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: was there asking, you know, potential draftees, what you're uber
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: rating by the way, and and and for me, that's
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: a great question. I think you I think you can
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: take that, take that in a lot of different directions
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: and and you know, be able to get some some
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: some character thoughts on a player. But you get teams
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: like Montreal asking this is great. So you order a
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: sandwich with cheese on it and it comes without cheese.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: What's the right an answer? I think?
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Montreal also asked would you rather play four years and
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: win a Stanley Cup or play ten years and not
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: win a Stanley Cup? So really forcing guys to thank
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: The Rangers gave the guys a piece of paper with
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: numbered one through one hundred, but not in that order,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: and wanted them to check off in order numbers one
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: through one hundred. So wow, yeah, combine, did you? I'm
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: sure it's good for the scouts. But let's talk about
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: the questions and the activities.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: The viral question from the Canadians this year was if
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: you're in if you're a day's if you're stranded in
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: the Sahara Desert man a day's walk from water, one
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: person has a bottle of water, and one person has
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: a baseball bat. Would you would you kill the other
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: person to take the water? And Uh, Tobias Trayball, who's
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a goalie for the Youngstown Phantoms, so on his way
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: up through the Ushl he apparently answered the question this way.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: One of the interviewers said, I have a wife at home,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I have kids at home. Are you gonna kill me
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: to get this water? And this goalie said, yeah, your
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: family's at home. Your family is safe. I have my
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: whole life in front of me and I want to
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: play in the NHL. So I am gonna kill you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: He's say, I'm not gonna kill your family, but I
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: will kill you because you're in my way.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: That's crazy. All so probably what they want to hear.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: So you kill the guy, you get his water. How
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: long is that gonna last you a day?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you're a day's walk your day's walk away, so
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: you better start walking.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Also, let's be honest, even in the Sahara, you could
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: probably go more than a day without water. You can
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: just start walking. Gotta put you gotta think all right. Yeah,
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not sure.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: If, as an adult, if I would have got drafted
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: after these combine questions, because I'm not sure I would
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: have given them a real answer like the cheese thing, Yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: you send it back because he as a business owner,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: as a manager, you want the customer happy. They want
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: you to be happy. Don't don't, don't worry about sending
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: sending something back. They want you to be happy, versus
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: leaving and then telling all your friends what a what
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: a bad experience you had. As an eighteen year old,
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Olci would have folded my tent like the fish that
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: I was, and uh answered everything as polite as possible
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: and probably given the wrong answer that they wanted to
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: hear to everything.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Would you tell the truth if a team asked you
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: who are you a fan of? Who's your favorite team?
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Who do you want to like?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Would you tell the truth if you're like, I'm a
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Niners fan. I've been a Niners fan my whole life.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: If I'm in a draft interview and they're like, you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the Dallas Cowboys are asking me who's your favorite NFL team?
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Am I gonna say the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Am I going to tell the Seattle Seahawks that my
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: favorite NFL team is the San Francisco forty nine ers.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: What would you do if you were asked by in
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: this case, it was the New York Islanders, Hey, aren't
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: you a Rangers fan?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: What do you say? I'd say? As an eighteen year old,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I'd say, yeah, I'm an Islanders fan.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Big fan love you guys, have you Shaffer's the best
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: As an adult, you know you've been through experiences, Mikeill,
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: you can see that I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: I am a die hard Utah Jazz Utah man.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Well, apparently a cat from the Monks and Wildcats told
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: the Islanders that he grew up a New York Rangers fan.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, and the Islanders were like, oh really, okay, So
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: do they like that answer? Do they not? What do
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: they want to hear?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know, uh, the Islanders all the Islanders also
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: handed prospects a brick oh yeah, and said give me
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: as many ways as you can think of to use
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: this brick in thirty seconds.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: What.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know how that helps you determine whether or
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: not you want to draft the guy, other than just
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: seeing how well they think on their feet potentially.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: That that's what I think, Mike, uh oh see. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: think this is some some borderline bullying on a lot
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: of that, outside of the uber rating, which is a
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: perfectly fair question, and the cheese on the sand, I
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: think we got it.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Sounds like bullying previously.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Like in the NFL they've had to Yeah, teams got
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: so out of pocket with their questions that the league
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: had to come in and just be like, hey, do.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: You remember Dez Bryant. Yeah, oh my word.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Famously des Bryant was they were trying to goad him
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: into freaking out basically by making claims of out his
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: mother's employment in a quite disparaging manner, and the teams.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: The NFL finally had a step in and just be like, hey,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: you can't. That's too far. You can't do that. Like,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: by good thing tz Brian didn't have a brick in
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: front of him when they asked him that question, you'd
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: find he'd have found a use for it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: What's your first instinct for the brick? If you just
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: got a brick, Like, what's your first Mine? Is the throat?
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Correct? If there's a is that throng?
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Like? I think, okay, build strength? So one kid came
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: up with eight different uses for it. Mine would be like,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I could smash that window with it. Yeah, I could
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: smash I could smash this computer with it. I would
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: just think of like ten different things that I could
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: smash a brick with, because you can't build with a
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: single brick. I guess maybe they probably have papers in
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: there you could use as a paperweight, right was it
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: was it Lis Assaulters the other night, uh interviewing Wemby
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and she wasn't in the picture post game. She could
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: have used the brand.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: That would be the other thing.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, well, I would stand on the brick
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: and then you guys could measure me and suddenly I'm
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: six four.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: There you go, waits and measures, there you go. We
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: just did in the first part of the day before lunch.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: That's that's what they're looking for anyway.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: NHL Scouting Combine Utah Mammoth not picking up at the
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: top this year because they're a playoff team now, which
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: is nice.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Do you remember last year at the combine all the
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: stories were, Oh, Utah just took so and so out
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: to dinner. Is that a sign? And then it came out, Yeah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: the Mammoth were taking ten to fifteen guys at a
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: time to the dinner. It's like, oh, okay, and then
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Bill Armstrong drafts Caleb de Nooie and he's like, oh,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: I had Caleb over at my house.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: We had pizza, Like was he was? He just kind
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: of the dinner narratives. I miss that when you're not
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: drafting fourth over.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: If I'm Caleb, I'd be mad that I got pizza
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: at the house instead of like, you know, a four
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: course meal at.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: A Would you, because I think I would. You know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: you go to somebody's house, You're like, I wonder what
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: they're having, and you show up. It's like, oh, pizza,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Thank goodness. Yeah, that's what I would have been. Man,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: you show up. Sometimes it's like, uh, yeah, fancy, fancy,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know what.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: No, I want that pizza. I want that. I like
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: the fancy dinner you're going for the port.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: If I ever became a free agent, like a meaningful
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: free agent in athletics, I would cost the teams that
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: were trying to get my services. I would cost them
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: absurd amounts of money. I would make it known through
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: my agent, because then you're less of a diva if
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: your agent's the one telling you be like, Hey, he
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: wants a brand new Para Nikes for every visit that
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: he's got. He wants to go out to the nicest
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: restaurant in the city for breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: He wants the private jets sent out there. I would
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: be obnoxious. These kids probably aren't quite in that position yet,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: but that'd be the worst.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: I'd be happier if we just door d asked five guys, okay,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: get out of here.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: That's Adrian.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Any in between the pipes brought to you by our
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: good friends at Aladdin Industries, and of course the truck
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: with the Duck Valley plumbing, heating and cooling
