• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Ready for Game seven of the homestands here, I'm spent
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: fifteen days.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Already, I know I'm over.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I'm especially excited for Game seven of the homestand because
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the homestand has gone so swimmingly well for this Utah
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Mammoth team. And I have to give you, like I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: did last time, I have to give you credit. You
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: said that you know this was one where you could
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: pile up some points. You talked about individual players being
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: able to potentially round into the proper form in this
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: particular stretch of games. And I don't know how it
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: could have gone much better. Your last three are pretty
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: darn impressive six three, two to one against the very
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: tough Stars team six to one against the Maple Leafs.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And you know, like you said, your your chances of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: emerging from this home stand with you know, maybe winning
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: five to seven, you already did.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I recalibrated my expectations after the two to one win
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: against Dallas, when the Mammoth had taken nine of a
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: possible ten points and gone, what is it four to
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: zero to one to start the home standard, Like, okay,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: now you've got two games in seven days. You play
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Seattle Saturday, you play Philly on Wednesday, one game at
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: a time. You can take thirteen of a possible fourteen
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: points here, and as you said, I would have been
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: happy with five and two. I think four to two
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and one definitely would have got the job done as
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: far as the big season picture for the Mammoth. But
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: thirteen or fourteen points possible, a six to zero one
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: home stand, and they put themselves in the first wild
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: card spot in the Western Conference. So it's been good
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: and OC, it's it's funny how you win that game
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: against Ottawa. It was a one goal game for twenty
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: two plus minutes. You win at three to one, You
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: play okay against Saint Louis Famelica was good. You lost
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: in overtime to Columbus, a game that's just kind of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: a Sunday game. You come out, fall behind, ty, take
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the lead, lead for a while, take some penalties, lose
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: game in overtime, get a point. And then last week
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: some some statement games. I thought, you never beat Toronto before,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: beat them six to one, beat Dallas, never beat them
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: at home before, had lost four games to them by
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: a single goal. And then the game against Seattle team
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: wrapping up a trip, and you know it had some
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: ups and downs, but but they they took it over
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: late and six' three looked looked pretty good on the.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Scoreboard so week, one you're you're playing, Okay you're you're

  Speaker 4: the last seven games to The, mammoth those two have
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: combined for three of the seven game winning. Goals schmidt
• 4:14

  Speaker 4: winning goal that he scored in the final five. Minutes
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: him And John marino were the only Two utah players
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: on the. Ice there's Five seattle players in their defensive,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: zone and you've Got, Keller schmaltz and krauis just kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: of hopping over the boards to join the, guys And
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: marino And schmid are just kind of playing. Cats johnny
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: dumped the puck, In schmidt went and got, it Found,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: keller and Then schmidt goes out in front. Undefended and
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: there was some stuff that went wrong For seattle in
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: that third, period that's fair to, say but wide, open.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: You got to hit the.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Net he did and gave The mammoth the, lead and
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: then Laston kraus just over forty seconds later went to
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: the same. Spot keller found him. Again so it was
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a nice game For, schmidt but strong. Defensively but, gosh
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: when you have a d man who has the instinct
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: like that to read the play and get pucks, through
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: and and he's talked about training the, forwards we're gonna
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: get pucks, through we got to have them in front
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: of a net to set screens and knock loose bucks.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Home so it's been a big part of the homestand
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: another you already, mentioned another two assist night For Clayton.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Keller the captain has maybe more so than, ever embraced
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: his role as a facilitator for his. Teammates it's nice
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: that you have you brought in some more goal scoring this,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: year and you've got even With kooley, out you, know gun.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Third kind of rounding back into what we saw in
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the best stretches from, him is this is this the most,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: sustainable best version Of Clayton keller for the deep. Run
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: i'm watching the game Against seattle On, saturday and, he's you,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: know possessing the puck and going in and, out And i'm,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: thinking this is the kid in junior high all alone
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: in his driveway that's going between his. Legs he's popping.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Shots he's he's all. Alone he's not being. Guarded he's
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: he's got the time and space because there's nobody else out.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: There you know What i'm saying when when you're out
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: on the basketball floor all by yourself and you're you're
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: doing moves and you're trying stuff, out except he's doing
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: it in AN nhl game with five defenders on the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: ice And he's got nine assists in six home games
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: here on the homestand so, far eight of the nine
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: have been primary, assists meaning the last pass before the
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: goal comes From Clayton keller to the goal. Score and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: we talked about it last week and it's continued into
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the second half of the homestand in terms, of you,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: know just the the domination and just the way that
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: he's able to to create. Stuff and you, know guys
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: like to shoot the puck and he's he's shot the
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: puck a lot. Too he's got such a hard slap
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: shot like it does and doesn't always hit the, net
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: but it's you retrieve the puck and you still got it,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: offensively you can do other stuff with. It so he's
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: he's got the passing, threat but he can shoot, too
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: and he's so crafty and creative and his instinct for the,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: game and he plays with guys Like nick schmaltzho he's
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: been with for almost a. Decade but you talk about
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: predictability and the way that he. Plays his teammates in
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: addition To Nick schmaltz know what he's looking for and
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: what he wants to, do and it's.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And it's led to.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Success Adrian, denny our guest here on The shoan O'Connell
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Show between The pipes with Our mammoth, insider what do
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you expect Against philadelphia to close out this home?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: STAND i think it's a trap. GAME i think game
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: seven of a homestand is you know another another box
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: you need to. Check philly had lost six in a
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: row until they went Into vegas On monday night and
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: snapped their seven game winning streak with a two to one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Win they had two breakaway, goals their Goalie Samuel arrison
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: stop twenty four to twenty. Five they killed over ninety
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: seconds down six on four at the end of the
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: game because they took a penalty late And vegas had
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: a two man advantage with their top five power play
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: and couldn't tie it. Up So philly has been in
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: a playoff spot throughout most of the season until the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: last week and a. Half Their their starting, Goaltender Dan
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: vladar has been. Hurt he's day to. Day he's not
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: going to play. Tonight he could Play friday In, colorado
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: but he's kind of been what has gotten the job
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: done For. Philly he's a goaltender that's going to be
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: on The chechia national team With Correl Vamelca philly's seven
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: ten and four when he's not in the lineup sixteen
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: seven and four when he does, play so they've missed.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Him they were outscored thirty one to twelve during that
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: stretch where they didn't win a game in Six but.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: They've they've Got Rick tocket as their.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Coach he's a guy that a lot of These utah
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: players have played for. Before they just always seem to
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: be in it in a. Game in the, standings they
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: win a lot of games to. One they're they're pretty
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: dialed down in their system and their defensive. Structure So,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: PHILLIES i think exactly where we thought they'd. Be five
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: games above five. Hundred they're three points out of a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: wild card. Spot they have been in the top three
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: in their metropolitan division but dropped off with dan vod
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: are getting. Hurt but these two teams played last year
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: As utah was wrapping up a home stand And utah
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: was behind two nothing for most of the. Game it
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: felt like Their their, Goalie samuel A, arson stopped thirty
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: eight to forty one shots and it took some heroics
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: From Dylan gunther and his first game back from an
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: injury to win, it as he did in. Overtime SO i,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: think tough. Game you want to finish the home stand
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: how it's been for the first Six but head Coach
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Andrey turity telling us after the optional morning skate, today you,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: know everybody's, like what's gotten good with? You what's what's been?
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Good and he's, like, well we've been really good at managing.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Games but we don't want this to be a. Spurt
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: we don't want this to be a. Streak like good
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: teams don't have to think about the way that they
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: go out and manage and maintain games and play with
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: leads and don't fall behind and just go about their.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Business SO i think that is now the next step
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: for The. Mammoth we talk about how they want to,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: play manage, games play with the, lead not take penalties
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: at bad, times not get scored upon when you score a,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: goal not give up consecutive. Goals now it's, okay we've done,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: this so now let's do it without thinking about it
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: in terms of how we go about our business every.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Day The flyers are also holding on fifty four points right,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: now right exactly where The mammoth Are does that mean they're?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Equals that, is this should be like a nice little heavyweight.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Fight THEY i know styles make, fights, right and it's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: all about, matchups but are they roughly equally?
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Matched in your?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Mind the analytics say they are offensively, defensively and we
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: talk about analytics but don't always explain. It so what
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: we're looking at with The mammoth there is an analytic
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: called expected goals. Percentage so in a, Game utah's expected
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: goals percentage for the seasons like fifty four, percent meaning
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: that in a five on five game played on, paper
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: with their numbers and their, opponent they're expected to score
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: fifty four percent of the. Goals oppositions expected to score forty.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Six The mammoths analytics kind of match up expected goals
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: percentage versus goal. Percentage phillies do. Two they're a tight defensive.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Team their issue has been their. Goaltending but AS i,
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: said they had goaltending issues last, year And Samuel arrison's
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: top thirty eight to forty. One he's going to be
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: in between the pipes tonight for The. Flyers SO i
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: would say are they? Equal, No BECAUSE i Think utah
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: is trending. UP i Think philly is probably where they're
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: gonna stay in the hunt for a playoff, position while The,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: MAMMOTH i, think coming out Of christmas and Into, january
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: have started to win games and be where they kind
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: of expected at this point of the, year knowing that
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: they were probably gonna be a five hundred team Through
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: christmas And New Year's.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: So all the hope is you finish out this home stand,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: correctly and then It's, Nashville, Tampa Florida, Panthers Carolina, hurricanes
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: all on the. Road so between now and the next
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: time we talk to, you they're gonna have This philadelphia
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: matchup and then three really tough ones on the. Road
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: same QUESTION i gave you for the homestand what do
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you need to see from a points accumulation standpoint on
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: this road?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Stretch so let's put it into a five game stretch including,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: tonight all, Right so you gotta win.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Tonight you're going To.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Nashville that's A Central division team that's, chasing they're trying
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: to get above that playoff, line that game you really,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: want and then for, me win one of three In, Carolina,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Tampa bay And. Florida it's probably gonna Be carolina because
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: you're playing in a back to Back Tampa, Florida that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: that's not. Easy that's like Going vegas To, Utah vegas
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: To colorado in terms of what we're used to Out west.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: On a back to.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Back So tampa's the hottest team in the. League florida's
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: you know they're gonna get.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Hot the chuck.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Back, yeah they're not in the playoff picture, now but
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: they're they're. Always it's a Team uta has never. Beaten
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: so if you can take one of, three hopefully Beat
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: nashville and move, FORWARD i, think, uh that's. It if
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: they take one game on the four game, trip come
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: back and finish, strong going into The olympics wouldn't surprise.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Me speaking Of, florida we were treated to a rare goalie.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Fight bob goes all the way across the ice to
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: get at The shark's.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: GOALTENDER i love. IT i love it when the goalies
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: mix it.

• 16:14
  Speaker 5: OPPORTUNITY i.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Think so there's there's a lot of great players In
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: russia that play in THE, khl but there's some really
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: good ones here and AND i was thinking about that
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: watching action last night in THE, nhl, like, gosh that
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: that would be so awesome to be able to see
• 16:32

• 16:37
  Speaker 4: For philadelphia where is number thirty. Nine he's a he's

  Speaker 4: Lot Sergei bobrovski from From, Florida, like there's a lot
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: of Great russian players that that aren't aren't. Involved And i'm, thinking,

• 16:56
  Speaker 4: you Added russia to it with the players that they,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: have that even takes it to another level of competition
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: for THE us And canada to try and push ahead.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Against, LOOK i understand why The Olympic committee and why
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the international community feels like you need to do something like,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: this you need to sanction a country when there's conflict
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: happening and.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: WHATNOT i get disappointed by. IT i.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Don't i'm not trying to be political on the. Show
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you guys know my policy on, that but and it's
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: probably an unfair question to. ASK i don't know how
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: political hockey guys are in. General, right most of the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: time you talk to athletes about something and they're just, like,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: DUDE i just want to play my. SPORT i want
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to go home to my.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Family. Right they have the same priorities that a lot
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: of people.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Have and, then like some SPORTS i heavily in THE mma, World,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: like there's a lot OF mma guys that are like
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: very political and opinionated about. Things it's different when it's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: an individual sport like that is there's, boxers there's some
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: of those athletes and other sports that, like if you
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: talk to them about this particular, conflict they're.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Gonna have a strong opinion one way or.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Another there were SOME mma guys that got themselves into
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: hot water for expressing their views on this.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Situation there was a couple.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Of guys who started waving a different flag when they
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: were walking out to the ring for competition because of
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: this specific conflict That russia's being sanctioned. For in, general
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: like if we grabbed all The RUSSIAN nhl guys were just,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: like tell me what you think about, this where do
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: you think we'd net? Out are they, Political, well they
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: have strong opinions on it where they be like a
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: lot of athletes are where they're, Like i'm gonna stay
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: in my lane.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Here when the conflict With ukraine And russia, STARTED i
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: was In tucson with The, Roadrunners utah's CURRENT hl, affiliate
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: and our starting Goalie Ivan, prosotov who's currently with The
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Calgary flames, organization was you, know next man up For
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: coyotes at the. Time, right he's having a great season
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: and teams in first place and we're, rolling and so this, happens,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Right AND i grabbed him the next, MORNING i, said
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: what what what's?
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Up? Man how's what do you? Think how are?
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: You he's, Like I'm i'm. Fine i'm concerned because my
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: family's In, russia but my focus is. This he's, Like
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: i'm a little shaken. Up i'm a little upset that
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: my country is at. War, right that's. Disconcerting he's, like
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: but we're in first. Place i'm the next call, up
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: like we're we're going and and you, know you'd get
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: news media reaching out like could we talk to pros
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: the top about the war In? Russia AND i, said you,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: KNOW i appreciate you, Calling But i've talked To ivan
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and it's it's obviously tough being here with his family
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: back In russia and country is at, war but we're
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: in first. Place he's the biggest reason for. That and
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: if The coyotes need a goalie tonight Because Connor ingram
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Or Croll milk doesn't feel, well he's driving up to,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: play Right He's that's what he's focused on and driven
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: on right. Now AND i think that's probably how it
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: is for most. INDIVIDUALS i, mean it's it's unfortunate because
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: for the athletes to be the ones punished for decisions
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: that they have no influence, over no power in these,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: equations it is.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Unfortunate, AGAIN i understand why it has to happen on
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: an international stage and there's all that posturing and politic and,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: whatnot but then when you boil it down and you're
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: talking to, people it's, like for the most, part athletes
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: want to be able to. Play they would love to
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: be able to represent their country on an international. Stage
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: they'd love to be able to be part of An.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Olympics and, look there's some of these guys are young
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: enough that it'll roll, around conflicts will be resolved and
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: they'll have another. Opportunity so like If sergachev was going
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to be on The olympic team this, year he's not
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: exactly a spring, chicken so maybe the next role around
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: he won't.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Be, yeah you feel sorry for the players because you
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: see the excitement from guys Like Clayton, keller players LIKE
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Jj peterka that are able to go represent the, country
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Corral vamelca Oly mada doing it for a second time With,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: finland and you know that it would be just as
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: exciting of a situation for players Like, sergachev who's you,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: know in his NINTH nhl, season he's twenty seven years.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Old but as you, said, right how many how many
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: more opportunities are? There it's is THE nhl is going
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: to be involved in the Next. Olympics this is the
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: first time they've they've played in The olympics since since twenty.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Fourteen so, yeah definitely feel sorry for those guys and
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: feel sorry for you, know hockey fans that that that
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: would be such a great a great team to, see

• 22:13
  Speaker 4: terms of the world, conflicts which is way over our.
