- 0:18Speaker 2: So the Canes tied up yesterday with a Seth Jarvis
- 0:22Speaker 2: power play goal in ot But the one thing I
- 0:25Speaker 2: can't stop thinking of is Braden McNabb's nose being crooked
- 0:29Speaker 2: for the rest of his life now.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Because that looked terrible.
- 0:33Speaker 2: I we're just talking about this, Whether it's a puck
- 0:39Speaker 2: like that right off the beak or taking like one
- 0:42Speaker 2: hundred and two mon our fastball to the teeth, it's
- 0:45Speaker 2: gotta be a top I don't know whatever. Most terrifying
- 0:48Speaker 2: moment in sports when you see how tough hockey players
- 0:52Speaker 2: aren't most Did you see the zoomed in slow motion
- 0:56Speaker 2: footage of that hit McNab right in the mouth or nose?
- 0:59Speaker 2: I should say I did the horror on his face
- 1:04Speaker 2: when he knows what's gonna happen.
- 1:07Speaker 3: There's only a puck to the face that can do
- 1:09Speaker 3: that to a hockey player. That's it. It's the only
- 1:12Speaker 3: thing that makes a face do what his face did
- 1:14Speaker 3: last night.
- 1:14Speaker 4: You can't get out of the way you simply, there's
- 1:17Speaker 4: you have to take it. I don't know what it'd
- 1:20Speaker 4: be like being on the front stretch of the eighty
- 1:22Speaker 4: five hundred as the cars were coming down the front
- 1:25Speaker 4: freet You get, you got nowhere to go. Yeah, lamb,
- 1:28Speaker 4: you're gonna get. You're gonna You're gonna eat it.
- 1:30Speaker 5: It's a Mike Tyson right without a glove.
- 1:34Speaker 4: That's what it is.
- 1:35Speaker 5: It's a Mike Tyson haymaker, a Mike Tyson right to
- 1:40Speaker 5: the nose without a glove.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I had one ninety two miles an hour that I
- 1:45Speaker 2: took off the helmet, the bill of the helmet, my
- 1:48Speaker 2: helmet flew back and hit the backstop, missed me entirely,
- 1:51Speaker 2: thank God. But I can tell you it's one of
- 1:54Speaker 2: the moments in life. You can recount the milliseconds of
- 1:57Speaker 2: it because it moves in slow motion, because you have
- 2:00Speaker 2: a million thoughts in your head about how bad is
- 2:02Speaker 2: this gonna hurt? Is my face gonna look the same,
- 2:04Speaker 2: like all of those things are going.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Through your head.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Can I ask you a serious question? So you took
- 2:08Speaker 5: ninety two miles an hour off the head, but it
- 2:11Speaker 5: didn't hurt you because the helmet took the brunt of it, right, correct,
- 2:14Speaker 5: So Gaul, how how do you get back in the box.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I got to base hit up the middle of my
- 2:20Speaker 2: next at bat, and I'll tell you, vic, I was
- 2:22Speaker 2: shaking in the batter's box, and I think I swung
- 2:25Speaker 2: with my eyes closed.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I just wanted to. I swung first pitch. I was like,
- 2:28Speaker 3: I just want to be out of here.
- 2:29Speaker 5: I would have been done. I don't know how you.
- 2:31Speaker 5: I don't know how you climb back in there without
- 2:34Speaker 5: thinking about that.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I'm I'm not some macho guy. I got back in
- 2:38Speaker 2: the box. I was horrified, and I just I swung
- 2:40Speaker 2: first pitch. I was like, I went out of here
- 2:42Speaker 2: as soon as possible, and I just got lucky. But
- 2:45Speaker 2: it is crazy now. I thought Vegas was gonna do
- 2:48Speaker 2: the Vegas thing last night. Everything was set up again
- 2:53Speaker 2: for them to like, oh late score, tie the game up,
- 2:58Speaker 2: team of God like that that sort of thing. Thank
- 3:00Speaker 2: god the Carolina one, because I couldn't stomach another one
- 3:03Speaker 2: of those.
- 3:04Speaker 3: The game started most.
- 3:05Speaker 2: With another hail Mary pass that Howden finishes on, and
- 3:08Speaker 2: I'm just I couldn't help but just think, is this destiny?
- 3:12Speaker 2: Is this just what's happening? The team that was twenty
- 3:14Speaker 2: first in the league and wins this year is going
- 3:17Speaker 2: to be doing this.
- 3:19Speaker 4: That's how hockey goes. Yeah, the Vegas Golden Knights won
- 3:23Speaker 4: thirty nine games. They were twenty first in the National
- 3:27Speaker 4: Hockey League. Teams with more wins or equal wins with
- 3:30Speaker 4: them did not even make the postseason. But sometimes you
- 3:34Speaker 4: just catch lightning in a bottle. Sometimes you just when
- 3:40Speaker 4: I saw Marnarth Ugh.
- 3:45Speaker 3: I was just on F word control today again.
- 3:50Speaker 4: Vic, come only, I openly shouted f in my house.
- 3:58Speaker 4: One of the dogs went cowering, like, yeah, I uh,
- 4:04Speaker 4: I can't believe Marner. Marner with his back turned up
- 4:08Speaker 4: the up the ice, throws up backhanded hail mary. That
- 4:19Speaker 4: there's don't get me wrong, there's some skill to it.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I mean you gotta be able to lift the puck
- 4:25Speaker 4: with your backhand. Good play, yah, you know, lifted seventy
- 4:29Speaker 4: five feet in the air and have it drop right
- 4:32Speaker 4: inside the blue line while your guy is on side.
- 4:37Speaker 4: The timing of it is pretty amazing. But dude, I
- 4:41Speaker 4: mean that those are home run hail mary's once in
- 4:44Speaker 4: a lifetime, and now we've.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Seen twice and twice in a week and a half.
- 4:50Speaker 4: And Marner did it with the backhand. Listen, Marner is
- 4:52Speaker 4: an incredibly gifted player, He's a star. But even the
- 4:57Speaker 4: best guys on the planet, how do you literally how
- 4:59Speaker 4: do you flip that out of your own zone like that? Backhanded?
- 5:05Speaker 4: It butterflies end over and and it doesn't bounce on
- 5:10Speaker 4: edge and go into the corner. It lands flat? So
- 5:14Speaker 4: howd you can skate right into I mean, come on,
- 5:17Speaker 4: you know what the most I mean, come on, bro,
- 5:20Speaker 4: give the Canes grow.
- 5:22Speaker 5: They ate all that mysticism and witchcraft that Vegas employed
- 5:26Speaker 5: to take a to nothing lead, and they rallied late
- 5:30Speaker 5: like a feverish team that was hungry to stay alive,
- 5:35Speaker 5: and they made it happen. And my goodness, was that
- 5:39Speaker 5: third period magic?
- 5:40Speaker 3: Well you know, whatsow crazy?
- 5:42Speaker 2: I just had this argument yesterday with somebody, and I
- 5:44Speaker 2: don't understand people that are wired like this.
- 5:46Speaker 3: It makes no.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Sense to me, the people that seem to take some
- 5:50Speaker 2: sort of solace in the idea because this happened to
- 5:52Speaker 2: the Nuggets repeatedly, not this year. But you want the
- 5:55Speaker 2: team that beats you, the team that beats you win
- 5:57Speaker 2: the titles.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I just I have no identification with those people.
- 6:01Speaker 2: I want the team to beat me, to suffer the
- 6:03Speaker 2: most miserable, awful, terrible loss that they've ever suffered in
- 6:07Speaker 2: the history of their lives.
- 6:08Speaker 3: That's what I want. And I take nothing away from well,
- 6:12Speaker 3: the best team, the team that won the title was
- 6:14Speaker 3: the one that beat you.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Who cares?
- 6:17Speaker 2: Why do I care who wins at the end of it?
- 6:19Speaker 2: If my team's eliminated, if you beat me, I want
- 6:22Speaker 2: you to suffer an immense amount of emotional distress.
- 6:28Speaker 4: I would call Lee Blair right now, Vick. I would
- 6:29Speaker 4: call Lee for emotional support. But I don't think we
- 6:33Speaker 4: need it. I think my word should be sufficient. Have
- 6:37Speaker 4: whoever said that? Who said that to you? Do I
- 6:39Speaker 4: know them? No? A right? Well, whoever this dull bag is,
- 6:44Speaker 4: you've seen this, so you've seen people have said it
- 6:46Speaker 4: a million times. But you tell them to go and
- 6:50Speaker 4: sit in the stands in Vegas one time, Yeah, and
- 6:56Speaker 4: see if they have the same sentiments because I don't.
- 7:00Speaker 5: By the way, I got some caught wind of some
- 7:04Speaker 5: other stuff that the Vegas franchise pulled during the AVS series.
- 7:09Speaker 5: I am not at liberty to say what they did,
- 7:13Speaker 5: but it's it's downright, but what's the word greedy? Selfish?
- 7:22Speaker 5: Crosses the line?
- 7:25Speaker 3: Can you hint at something like finial?
- 7:28Speaker 4: Are you talking about the ICE's financially related?
- 7:31Speaker 5: No, it's financially what they did in that series borderline.
- 7:37Speaker 5: I don't know the reputation they have in the league,
- 7:42Speaker 5: that mosure you told us before the series, the reputation
- 7:45Speaker 5: of being, you know, the rebel of the league, the Raiders.
- 7:49Speaker 5: Remember how the Raiders had that rep for so many
- 7:51Speaker 5: years in the National Football League. They have the same rep.
- 7:54Speaker 5: It's totally warranted. After I heard this after the stunt
- 7:59Speaker 5: they pulled.
- 8:02Speaker 3: I don't like when you say stuff like this, and
- 8:03Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
- 8:05Speaker 5: I know, but I promised I could. I wouldn't say
- 8:07Speaker 5: I just I can't.
- 8:08Speaker 4: I'll tell you, well, you can't.
- 8:10Speaker 3: We can't even code it somehow.
- 8:11Speaker 4: I can't. I can't.
- 8:12Speaker 5: I can just tell you they did something that in
- 8:16Speaker 5: the sport, it's just not common practice. It's like, wait,
- 8:20Speaker 5: what you did?
- 8:21Speaker 4: What The Avs have the ice at a certain time,
- 8:24Speaker 4: certain time, and.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Vegas pushes that time.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Well, no, they would skate their team at the practice facility,
- 8:35Speaker 4: but for their time at the big rink, they'd send
- 8:39Speaker 4: their Black aces over with their backup goalies, and they'd
- 8:43Speaker 4: be like four guys on the ice all the way
- 8:47Speaker 4: up until.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I don't get what, so what they couldn't clean the
- 8:52Speaker 2: ice or what are you trying to say?
- 8:54Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the rest of the team is someplace else,
- 8:56Speaker 4: and the guys who aren't playing and just.
- 8:59Speaker 5: To occupy the ice.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Out there.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Well, Texa says, you sound bitter about Vegas.
- 9:05Speaker 4: You're damn right, damn right, I am.
- 9:07Speaker 6: So what.
- 9:09Speaker 2: I can't be bitter about things about the way my
- 9:11Speaker 2: team season ended.
- 9:13Speaker 3: I can be bitter. It's a human emotion.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Like, all I'm saying is I can't identify with anyone
- 9:22Speaker 2: who has the mindset of I need to root for
- 9:25Speaker 2: the team that just beat me. And you know what's funny,
- 9:28Speaker 2: Me and Nelly were talking about this in the appetizer.
- 9:31Speaker 2: It would be different, Moses. Maybe if they were playing
- 9:34Speaker 2: the Wings in the finals, right, or they were playing
- 9:38Speaker 2: against Boston or somebody like that, you'd maybe have some
- 9:40Speaker 2: conflicting idea of who you'd want to win. Carolina feels
- 9:44Speaker 2: like the most inoffensive team in the league. I don't
- 9:47Speaker 2: like them, I don't hate them. There's nobody that I
- 9:49Speaker 2: super dislike on their team. Brenda Moore seems fine, And
- 9:52Speaker 2: then I realized every professional team that resides in the
- 9:56Speaker 2: Carolinas is like that. I don't feel anything towards the Anthers.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I don't feel anything towards the Hornets, like it's the
- 10:04Speaker 2: most inoffensive.
- 10:05Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest with you. I the Charlotte Hornets
- 10:11Speaker 4: outside ball, may be the most anonymous team in pros.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Well, their announcer, their announcers pretty popular.
- 10:20Speaker 4: He's that guy that goes crazy. Yeah, but they are
- 10:24Speaker 4: that team, that team. Think of all the pro sports,
- 10:28Speaker 4: is there a more anonymous team, more anonymous team than
- 10:33Speaker 4: the Charlotte Hornets.
- 10:35Speaker 3: But most people, I mean, they're all of them, all
- 10:37Speaker 3: of them.
- 10:38Speaker 2: College is different because they got Duke in North Carolina
- 10:41Speaker 2: and that can disperse some emotion. As far as professional
- 10:44Speaker 2: sports franchises the Carolinas, do they have a single team
- 10:48Speaker 2: professionally that you're like, I feel strongly one way or
- 10:51Speaker 2: the other about, Well, they only.
- 10:52Speaker 4: Have three I know. Well that's so, I don't know.
- 10:55Speaker 2: I name another state or region of the country with
- 10:58Speaker 2: three teams that you have no feelings towards. Yeah, I
- 11:04Speaker 2: hard to Maybe the Panthers would be different if like
- 11:07Speaker 2: the Broncos lost to them in the Super Bowl, but
- 11:09Speaker 2: you almost kind of pity them because of what happened
- 11:12Speaker 2: in the franchise after that Super Bowl and what von
- 11:14Speaker 2: Miller did, like all of that stuff.
- 11:16Speaker 4: He ruined Cam Newton is what he did. He ruined him. Yes, Vic,
- 11:19Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 11:21Speaker 5: Power play that led to the go ahead goal. I
- 11:25Speaker 5: need to walk through it because it's one of those
- 11:30Speaker 5: weird plays where it's a judgment called by the referee
- 11:34Speaker 5: and when he blows the whistle, intend to blow the
- 11:36Speaker 5: whistle correct puck in the crease. I have to be
- 11:39Speaker 5: honest with you. If I'm an av Sayan and I
- 11:42Speaker 5: get that called against me, no goal.
- 11:46Speaker 4: I'd be mad. Well, you have to go back, Vic,
- 11:49Speaker 4: this is where the president is set. You have to
- 11:52Speaker 4: go back to what the original call on the ice was.
- 11:55Speaker 5: Explain what happened for those who may not have watched.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Hurdle comes in and he gets there's a save by Anderson,
- 12:03Speaker 4: grabs the puck, a wrap around try. Anderson makes one save.
- 12:07Speaker 4: It's a two to two game, by the way, that's correct.
- 12:09Speaker 4: Then he makes another save. Hurdle sort of fans on
- 12:12Speaker 4: the puck after the paddle is out there, Anderson with
- 12:18Speaker 4: his with his glove hands scoops the puck underneath his
- 12:21Speaker 4: tummy and he's laying on top of it, and there's
- 12:23Speaker 4: bodies around and door Fiev comes in and jams it
- 12:27Speaker 4: out from underneath him and it crosses the line. So
- 12:31Speaker 4: the puck is underneath his tummy. Right, yeah, secured, I mean,
- 12:35Speaker 4: the the puck disappeared. The referee has no side of
- 12:38Speaker 4: the puck, right one one thousand and two. Then comes
- 12:43Speaker 4: the stick in underneath his tummy and he pool cues
- 12:46Speaker 4: it out from underneath the tummy and it squirts across
- 12:49Speaker 4: the line. Off and the.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Whistle's blown after it squirts across the line.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Correct, I mean, I guess it is. It's but but
- 12:57Speaker 4: the referee right there is like, I have this. There's
- 13:00Speaker 4: no goal all day all night. You know, he's on
- 13:03Speaker 4: top of the mother truck and puck all day all night.
- 13:05Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no. Now whether he physically blew
- 13:09Speaker 4: the whistle after the puck was on the line across
- 13:14Speaker 4: he in his brain, vict I mean, from the get go,
- 13:16Speaker 4: he's like no, no, no, no, no no no no
- 13:18Speaker 4: no no no no, no, no no, no, what's that? Song.
- 13:21Speaker 3: No no no no no no no no.
- 13:24Speaker 4: No no no no.
- 13:25Speaker 5: Why why did Tortorella challenge it?
- 13:27Speaker 4: Then? Well, because the only thing they can really use
- 13:30Speaker 4: is goalie interference or intentable. I mean they used goalie interference.
- 13:37Speaker 6: What for.
- 13:40Speaker 4: He's on top of the puck and you pulled cut
- 13:42Speaker 4: it out from underneath him, right, you moved to whatever? Vic,
- 13:46Speaker 4: This is where you get to a gray area. Even
- 13:48Speaker 4: Dave Jackson yesterday explained this is a bit of intent
- 13:53Speaker 4: and gray area. But the referee is like no, no, no,
- 13:58Speaker 4: no no.
- 13:59Speaker 3: So this is sort of the opposite.
- 14:00Speaker 4: So why did they challenge I? First of all, I'm like,
- 14:04Speaker 4: I can't believe they're doing this. Second of all, it
- 14:06Speaker 4: seemed incredibly Yeah that is that is? That? Is that
- 14:10Speaker 4: a good goal?
- 14:12Speaker 5: It's a very risky challenge with less than five minutes
- 14:16Speaker 5: to play in the game.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Yeah, Now you know what I thought, though, Vick, what
- 14:21Speaker 2: I thought.
- 14:22Speaker 4: I couldn't believe he was doing it, But I thought
- 14:23Speaker 4: in my head, I'm like, damn, that's cocky. That's cocky. Sure,
- 14:30Speaker 4: five minutes to go in a Cup final game, in
- 14:33Speaker 4: a tie game, and you're gonna challenge that. Yeah, when
- 14:36Speaker 4: your team has been playing pretty damn well all game long.
- 14:39Speaker 3: So you're seeing the timing of this though.
- 14:41Speaker 2: It's almost like the opposite of refs with delay game calls,
- 14:46Speaker 2: Like you're saying, he didn't blow the whistle yet, but
- 14:48Speaker 2: he called it off right away.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Correct.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And in the NFL, how many times do you see
- 14:54Speaker 2: the clock the play clock hit zero and they snap
- 14:57Speaker 2: it like a half second later. But it's like, oh, well,
- 15:00Speaker 2: the ref's gotta look at the ball and then look
- 15:02Speaker 2: at the clock and look back at the ball and
- 15:03Speaker 2: that's a half second.
- 15:04Speaker 5: So blah blah blah.
- 15:05Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is, Vic this is one
- 15:07Speaker 4: of those ones where whatever the call on the ice
- 15:11Speaker 4: is is probably ninety percent of the time, it's gonna
- 15:15Speaker 4: stand up. It's gonna stand tall. And that's exactly what happened.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Carolina ties it up. It's a one to one series.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Now, if you guys want to hear another series, guess
- 15:26Speaker 2: what what. The Eagles in Chicago Wolves Game five and
- 15:29Speaker 2: their two to two tide series is gonna be right
- 15:31Speaker 2: here on ninety two five tonight at six o'clock.
- 15:33Speaker 4: That's a hell of a battle going on right now.
- 15:36Speaker 4: The Wolves are playing well, Eagles are playing well, it's
- 15:41Speaker 4: a hell of a battle.
- 15:42Speaker 2: She'll both have that and Game six on Sunday at
- 15:46Speaker 2: six o'clock as well. There was a quote yesterday, unprompted
- 15:50Speaker 2: by the way Cortland Sutton was asked a question about
- 15:53Speaker 2: Jalen Model and he turned that into stop bashing my
- 15:56Speaker 2: tight ends.
- 15:57Speaker 3: We'll get to it next, all right.
- 16:00Speaker 2: So I'm trying to figure out if you guys remember
- 16:03Speaker 2: years ago, do you remember when von Miller said about
- 16:06Speaker 2: Drew Locke that he threw one of the best incompletions
- 16:09Speaker 2: he's ever seen in training camp? Here, I do, yes,
- 16:11Speaker 2: I do, Yes, I do, And whenever Vaughn said something
- 16:13Speaker 2: like that, it's just you know what, Vaughn's always going
- 16:15Speaker 2: to defend his guys.
- 16:16Speaker 3: He's always gonna say.
- 16:16Speaker 4: I thought Trevor Simmon was the second coming of Peyton Manning.
- 16:19Speaker 4: I mean, he basically propped up Vic every guy around him,
- 16:25Speaker 4: which I think is a team leader. You know what
- 16:27Speaker 4: team captain should be, should be positive about his guys.
- 16:31Speaker 4: But I thought, you know, I'm seeing through this a
- 16:33Speaker 4: little bit, von'd right.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Now, I'm trying to figure out this quote from Courtland
- 16:40Speaker 2: Sutton yesterday, if this is a guy defending his teammates
- 16:43Speaker 2: or is this something that he truly believes is fans
- 16:47Speaker 2: and media are evaluating this incorrectly. And so he was
- 16:51Speaker 2: asked a question about playing with Jaalen Wodel because they're
- 16:53Speaker 2: on the field together and doing all the drills wide
- 16:56Speaker 2: receiver room revamped with Jayleen Waddel in it, and unprompted,
- 17:00Speaker 2: he turns that.
- 17:02Speaker 6: To this, I think that we're all we're all being
- 17:04Speaker 6: able to do our thing, and then, you know, can't
- 17:07Speaker 6: leave out this group. The tight ends look really good.
- 17:09Speaker 6: You know, trout looks really well, really good. I don't
- 17:12Speaker 6: like the bashing of our tight end room. I'm going
- 17:15Speaker 6: to say that publicly. I think we have great tight ends.
- 17:19Speaker 6: I think that they do their job really really well.
- 17:21Speaker 6: I think that they they do what's asked them to
- 17:24Speaker 6: a high level. And I think that they have looked really,
- 17:28Speaker 6: really good so far through OTA's Trout f Lucas. Getting
- 17:33Speaker 6: those guys going is really big. And I think that
- 17:36Speaker 6: when every piece of our offense is able to contribute
- 17:39Speaker 6: to the game, that's where our offense is going to
- 17:42Speaker 6: grow and going to be able to contribute to our games.
- 17:45Speaker 6: And I think that everyone looks really really good so far.
- 17:49Speaker 2: So first question I have is that a guy defending
- 17:51Speaker 2: his guys or is that a guy who believes the
- 17:53Speaker 2: evaluation is wrong of that position group.
- 17:56Speaker 5: I think the way he defined it was, Hey, they're
- 17:58Speaker 5: doing what they're asked to do. Is exactly what he's said,
- 18:00Speaker 5: and maybe they're not asked to do enough. I was
- 18:03Speaker 5: at practice yesterday and I watched exactly how they operated
- 18:07Speaker 5: the offense. I noticed a couple of things that were different.
- 18:10Speaker 5: They were a little more higher paced, the pacing was
- 18:13Speaker 5: different than normal.
- 18:14Speaker 4: They're like, go, go.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Go, and man did they feature Evan Ingram. They spread
- 18:20Speaker 5: Evan Ingram all over that field. He was split wide
- 18:24Speaker 5: and on several occasions outside of that normal tight end role,
- 18:28Speaker 5: and they made sure that we all saw Evan Ingram
- 18:31Speaker 5: get a lot of play. So maybe it's a different
- 18:35Speaker 5: deal this year with Davis web calling the shots.
- 18:38Speaker 2: Nolly, can you play that one more time because I
- 18:40Speaker 2: want to address what Vick pointed out there from Courtland
- 18:42Speaker 2: Sutton go ahead.
- 18:44Speaker 6: I think they were all we're all being able to
- 18:46Speaker 6: do our thing, and then you know, can't can't leave
- 18:49Speaker 6: out this group. The tight ends looked really good, you know,
- 18:51Speaker 6: Trout looks really well, really good. I don't like the
- 18:54Speaker 6: bashing of our tight end room. I'm gonna say that publicly.
- 18:58Speaker 6: I think we have great tight ends. I think that
- 19:01Speaker 6: they do their job really really well. I think that
- 19:03Speaker 6: they they do what's asked of them to a high level.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Okay, right there, Stott, I think that they do what's
- 19:09Speaker 2: asked of them at a high level. Maybe that's just
- 19:13Speaker 2: it Vic, because we asked the question. There's been a
- 19:15Speaker 2: couple of these with Sean Payton and his offenses before
- 19:17Speaker 2: about Hey, it is the running game not working because
- 19:20Speaker 2: there's a lack of commitment? Or is it because the
- 19:22Speaker 2: guys that are running backs aren't good enough? Like we
- 19:24Speaker 2: asked that for years. Yeah, maybe Sean Payton just didn't
- 19:28Speaker 2: have an interest in featuring a tight end and that
- 19:31Speaker 2: was part of it.
- 19:32Speaker 3: And look, I'll tell you one set.
- 19:34Speaker 2: That's pretty glaring that I just looked up from last
- 19:37Speaker 2: year in regards to Evan Ingram, tight ends.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Are typically reserved for two different kind of roles.
- 19:42Speaker 2: It's supposed to be really big in the red zone
- 19:44Speaker 2: because you're a big body, you can handle some physicality,
- 19:46Speaker 2: all that stuff, and you're you're big on third down
- 19:51Speaker 2: because you can park yourself in the middle of the field,
- 19:55Speaker 2: grab a third and six catch, pick up the or
- 19:59Speaker 2: move the chains and pick up a first down on
- 20:02Speaker 2: fifty catches last year, do you know any first downs
- 20:04Speaker 2: Evan Ingram had.
- 20:06Speaker 3: It's only nineteen. That seems like a weird number to me.
- 20:11Speaker 2: And perhaps going to Davis Webb and what you mentioned
- 20:16Speaker 2: yesterday Vic of him being sort of split out everywhere
- 20:18Speaker 2: and featured everywhere within the the that portion of the
- 20:21Speaker 2: offense that you watched, maybe Davis Webb is going to
- 20:24Speaker 2: make a bigger commitment to getting the tight end involved.
- 20:27Speaker 5: Yeah. Now make note, I need to say this, it's
- 20:32Speaker 5: not real football what we witnessed yesterday's staged. They're just
- 20:37Speaker 5: going over plays. Nobody's rushing the quarterback, there are no pads,
- 20:42Speaker 5: but the tempo was increased. It looked different, it felt different.
- 20:47Speaker 5: I think they went out of the way, out of
- 20:49Speaker 5: their way to make sure it looked different to us.
- 20:52Speaker 5: So I'm eager to see exactly how they use these guys.
- 20:55Speaker 5: I really am. By the way, Jalen Waddle is small
- 21:01Speaker 5: height wise than Marvin Mims. He's smaller, but my god,
- 21:05Speaker 5: he moves in places I haven't seen people move. Yeah,
- 21:09Speaker 5: he has some wiggle to him when he sets people,
- 21:13Speaker 5: when he sets a defensive backup.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Good Night explosion.
- 21:18Speaker 4: It's just he's just different.
- 21:21Speaker 5: He's just different the way he operates, the way he
- 21:23Speaker 5: sets up the dB to get open. So they went
- 21:28Speaker 5: from only big receivers, right, only big guys. That's all
- 21:32Speaker 5: they ever wanted to. Wow, this guy's tiny.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Yeah, but you get him in the open field.
- 21:37Speaker 5: Good night, goodbye, have a good one.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I think mos.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Here's what didn't help things from a tight end perspective,
- 21:48Speaker 2: and to calm people's nerves about it, the tight ends
- 21:52Speaker 2: just weren't great last year for whatever reason. Maybe they
- 21:54Speaker 2: weren't good enough, maybe they weren't featured enough.
- 21:56Speaker 4: I don't know. You you choose, there's probably there's probably
- 21:59Speaker 4: a meat him in there somewhere, happy medium as to
- 22:02Speaker 4: why they were not as effective as preps you want
- 22:07Speaker 4: them to be or they could be.
- 22:08Speaker 2: I just think that for top tier offenses in this league,
- 22:13Speaker 2: almost all of them have a tight end that is
- 22:16Speaker 2: featured in their offense that they make into a weapon.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Somehow, Someway and the Broncos didn't have that last year.
- 22:23Speaker 2: And you know, the typical sort of thing about tight
- 22:26Speaker 2: ends is that if you have a really good one,
- 22:28Speaker 2: well he's too big for a corner to cover and
- 22:30Speaker 2: he's too fast for a linebacker to cover.
- 22:32Speaker 3: That's sort of the story in the case of what
- 22:34Speaker 3: the Broncos have.
- 22:35Speaker 2: They have Evan Ingram, who is not big, he's kind
- 22:39Speaker 2: of the size of a wide out, but he is fast.
- 22:42Speaker 2: And then you have Troutman, who is big but it's
- 22:45Speaker 2: not fast at all, and you don't really have a
- 22:47Speaker 2: guy that can do both.
- 22:49Speaker 3: But what I think is interesting about this is.
- 22:54Speaker 2: For all the teams that need tight end production for
- 22:57Speaker 2: their offense to go, I think the Broncos can find
- 23:01Speaker 2: some of that. The issue is, you were so disappointed
- 23:05Speaker 2: last year, and the first move they made from a
- 23:08Speaker 2: tight end perspective this offseason was.
- 23:10Speaker 4: What they drafted two of them.
- 23:13Speaker 2: No, first, they gave Troutman three years and seventeen million
- 23:16Speaker 2: dollars and you're like, seventeen million, then what Then they
- 23:20Speaker 2: drafted a guy in the fifth and seventh round. But
- 23:22Speaker 2: do you guys remember the quote from Troutman by the
- 23:24Speaker 2: way after he signed.
- 23:25Speaker 4: That excepension, basically, screw you.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I'm an all around tight end and this contract shows it.
- 23:31Speaker 2: I'm one of the best blockers in the entire league,
- 23:33Speaker 2: regardless of what pro football folks thinking. He's basically, I
- 23:36Speaker 2: don't care what they say, and no other player does either.
- 23:39Speaker 4: He's like, I got I got the bag that I wanted,
- 23:41Speaker 4: so up yours is basically what it is, and I
- 23:43Speaker 4: like that. I have absolutely no problem with Adam Troutman
- 23:46Speaker 4: defending his abilities. I like the confidence. Hey, I guess,
- 23:52Speaker 4: but Vic, my thought real quick is this is that
- 23:56Speaker 4: you don't have the all around guy, you know. I mean,
- 23:59Speaker 4: listen to brock Hours of the world and the George
- 24:01Speaker 4: Kittles of the world. Those are hard to find, very
- 24:04Speaker 4: hard to find. And one thing I do know, if
- 24:07Speaker 4: you're satisfied with your tight end room, you don't have
- 24:11Speaker 4: seven of them in there right now.
- 24:13Speaker 3: That's true.
- 24:14Speaker 4: I mean, listen, no offense to any of the guys,
- 24:17Speaker 4: because I think Cortland Sutton is probably right with what
- 24:19Speaker 4: they're asked to do. They do a good job, but
- 24:23Speaker 4: you don't. Why would you have it.
- 24:25Speaker 3: It's like if the Nuggets had eight centers in camp.
- 24:28Speaker 4: It's exactly right. Can't means you clearly you're you're hoping
- 24:32Speaker 4: you're to shake them up in the Yachtzi Cup and
- 24:34Speaker 4: that God sorts them out. I mean, no offense. And
- 24:36Speaker 4: maybe they just like this guy and they like that guy,
- 24:38Speaker 4: but they're clearly looking for something, and that's all. That's all.
- 24:42Speaker 5: So it's hard to ascertain anything from again, an Ota,
- 24:47Speaker 5: it's not real football. All you could do is make
- 24:50Speaker 5: observation about who's there, maybe how they look physically, but
- 24:54Speaker 5: real football doesn't take place until hitting takes place. Okay,
- 24:57Speaker 5: I will, I will live and die by that. You're
- 25:00Speaker 5: not gonna get me to sit here and tell you
- 25:02Speaker 5: how a certain player looked. Outside of Jaylen Waddle's wiggle,
- 25:07Speaker 5: I'm not gonna give you anything about how.
- 25:08Speaker 3: They looked, Jonah Coleman's legs, how those look.
- 25:13Speaker 4: You know what?
- 25:13Speaker 5: Every running back looks the same, all small, all my size, yeah,
- 25:18Speaker 5: with much more girth, but all my height, short kings unite.
- 25:22Speaker 5: The Broncos running back group is all short kings, every single.
- 25:27Speaker 4: One of them.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Sean Payton likes his running back short and his wide
- 25:31Speaker 2: receiver six foot five.
- 25:33Speaker 5: But beyond that, I'm not gonna tell you they're good
- 25:36Speaker 5: or bad because we don't know. Are you kidding me?
- 25:39Speaker 5: If anybody goes on the radio today to evaluate a
- 25:42Speaker 5: running back in OTAs they're spewing crap, you can't.
- 25:47Speaker 4: And by the way, Vic, with the tight ends, the
- 25:49Speaker 4: running backs everything right now as we sit here on
- 25:51Speaker 4: June fifth, it's such speculation. Look, I don't want to
- 25:57Speaker 4: be this guy. I don't want to be the guy
- 25:59Speaker 4: that says, well, I'll tell you what everybody Monday, September
- 26:03Speaker 4: fourteenth at Arrowhead in Kansas City, we're gonna find out.
- 26:08Speaker 4: But that's the God's honest truth. Now. I'm gonna talk
- 26:10Speaker 4: Broncos football with you all summer long. I'm gonna be
- 26:13Speaker 4: a training camp with both of you guys all summer long.
- 26:15Speaker 4: I'm gonna be there looking, sniffing, watching, tasting, touching. I'm
- 26:21Speaker 4: gonna be doing all of that.
- 26:22Speaker 5: Getting stung by insects that was Burton Olim, eating donuts,
- 26:28Speaker 5: hammering donut holes.
- 26:29Speaker 4: That I will be doing perhaps although I'm look at
- 26:33Speaker 4: me now, good on now what my observation that being said? Though, Vic,
- 26:38Speaker 4: that's the God's honest truth. You really don't know until
- 26:42Speaker 4: you get there, Bro, you don't.
- 26:44Speaker 5: One of my observations from watching practice yesterday is this,
- 26:48Speaker 5: And I'm just gonna make observations that I have answers
- 26:50Speaker 5: to because a lot of them are unanswerable. The Broncos
- 26:53Speaker 5: wore undershirts that had the inscription the initials g t D.
- 27:03Speaker 5: What do you think g t D stands for.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Get the the division g t D.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Anyone grab the grab the get the grab the.
- 27:23Speaker 4: Give me, give me your guests, grip.
- 27:25Speaker 5: The g t D.
- 27:30Speaker 2: What is it?
- 27:32Speaker 4: Well? Do you know? I don't know. Do you know
- 27:33Speaker 4: the answer, Yes, I know the answer.
- 27:35Speaker 5: I'm asking you if you know what it is.
- 27:36Speaker 3: I've worked, I threw out a couple of seats. How
- 27:38Speaker 3: would I know?
- 27:40Speaker 5: Go the distance?
- 27:41Speaker 4: Oh? For christ.
- 27:47Speaker 5: Because they fell short. They fell short, go the distance?
- 27:51Speaker 4: And I couldn't help but watch.
- 27:53Speaker 5: You know every time there was a run play, and
- 27:57Speaker 5: it's the run play that went for more than three yards.
- 28:01Speaker 5: I kept looking over to people saying, God, they could
- 28:03Speaker 5: have used that in the fourth quarter the AFC Championship,
- 28:07Speaker 5: a run play that gained yardage, positive yardage.
- 28:12Speaker 4: I can't help but think.
- 28:13Speaker 5: I sat there watching practice and I found myself right
- 28:17Speaker 5: at the thirty about thirty four yard line, thirty three
- 28:20Speaker 5: yard line, and I said, you know what, this is
- 28:24Speaker 5: where they were positioned last year on New England side
- 28:28Speaker 5: of the field with a fresh set of downs and
- 28:31Speaker 5: a chance to take the lead down by three.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, I got it. There are three things,
- 28:39Speaker 4: three things that the voice in the corn said. What
- 28:43Speaker 4: are the three things the voice in the corn said, Vic.
- 28:49Speaker 5: I'm talking about Broncos football right now.
- 28:51Speaker 4: I understand that. I'm just saying you're you're the one
- 28:53Speaker 4: who brought up GTA about Broncos football. Understood. I honestly
- 28:58Speaker 4: think the second thing that the voice in the corn
- 29:00Speaker 4: and said might be better than GTD, which is he
- 29:05Speaker 4: is his pain. Ease his pain. Yeah, I'm talking. I'm
- 29:10Speaker 4: talking about Bonix's ankle. Ease his pain.
- 29:13Speaker 5: He was on the sideline watching.
- 29:14Speaker 4: I bet so.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Do you think the the moncle, the distance, the monikers
- 29:22Speaker 3: and mottos that teams have before the season, do they matter? Well,
- 29:28Speaker 3: it's not. Do they matter? I suppose Do you think that.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Guys actually take it seriously? Or is this just We're
- 29:35Speaker 2: back at camp so I'm gonna have a little thing
- 29:37Speaker 2: that I do. It's like, are they gonna be in
- 29:39Speaker 2: Week nine? Still saying go the distance? A lot stuff
- 29:43Speaker 2: motivate people.
- 29:43Speaker 4: I don't know, but I.
- 29:44Speaker 5: Wear an undershirt with the model with the inscription ms
- 29:47Speaker 5: U for our show. I wear it every day. I
- 29:50Speaker 5: wear it on my hat, I wear it everywhere. You
- 29:52Speaker 5: have like a little tattoo on my rest and my wrists.
- 29:55Speaker 5: I walk around with it ms U, MSU, MSU.
- 30:00Speaker 4: I have one that says gf Y m s U.
- 30:03Speaker 5: Moser, shut up, ms U. How would something's going to
- 30:07Speaker 5: make this a better Segon Moser shut up? Gf Y
- 30:12Speaker 5: Now mos your your shirt probably says l I D right.
- 30:18Speaker 4: L I D.
- 30:25Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is true gt D. That's game
- 30:31Speaker 3: time decision.
- 30:32Speaker 5: Yeah, well, let's go the distance for the Broncos. But
- 30:35Speaker 5: you know what, you could say whatever you want if
- 30:38Speaker 5: you had to replay the AFC title game. It really
- 30:41Speaker 5: doesn't matter because you don't have your starting quarterback out there,
- 30:45Speaker 5: and it felt like that game was lost when he lost.
- 30:48Speaker 5: He was lost in the previous game. So go the distance.
- 30:52Speaker 5: Can mean a lot of things to a lot of
- 30:53Speaker 5: different people, but at the end of the day, stay healthy.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Yeah three h three five four nine two Mozda text
- 31:01Speaker 3: line Yes.
- 31:02Speaker 4: GFY MSU, rhinoceros THERESU.
- 31:09Speaker 2: There's a couple of rumors going around the NHL already
- 31:13Speaker 2: the season hasn't ended yet still game three of the
- 31:17Speaker 2: Stanley Cup Final, and you can hear every game of
- 31:19Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Final right here on ninety two five.
- 31:21Speaker 2: But somebody requested the trade yesterday in the NHL.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Big name, Big name?
- 31:31Speaker 2: Do you think, moj We'll get to this in more
- 31:35Speaker 2: detail in a second. Do you have any Dylan Larkin
- 31:39Speaker 2: interest at all?
- 31:41Speaker 4: Do I do you? Well? I think if you were
- 31:44Speaker 4: a team in the National Hockey League and you didn't
- 31:48Speaker 4: have interest in Dylan Lark and then you're probably dead.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Okay, get to this in just a couple of minutes,
- 31:54Speaker 3: because there is something.
- 31:55Speaker 4: I just look.
- 31:57Speaker 3: You can make some one to ones on some deals,
- 31:59Speaker 3: and I want to see if you can put the
- 32:00Speaker 3: puzzle pieces together.
- 32:01Speaker 5: Next, the Broncos wore undershirts that had the inscription the
- 32:06Speaker 5: initials g t D. What do you think gt D
- 32:13Speaker 5: stands for get the get the division gt D, Give me,
- 32:20Speaker 5: give me your guests, grip the.
- 32:24Speaker 4: G t D. What is it?
- 32:27Speaker 5: Go the distance?
- 32:29Speaker 4: Oh, for christ, I will find my way.
- 32:33Speaker 5: I can go the distance.
- 32:42Speaker 4: You know. I want to have a happy hot What
- 32:44Speaker 4: is this? What do you mean? What is this? This
- 32:46Speaker 4: is Hercules? He's gonna go the distance. Oh gotcha? Okay,
- 32:50Speaker 4: I knew it.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Look, I'm I'm having to watch all these kids movies again.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I was just trying to prepare myself for which one
- 32:55Speaker 2: this is. I don't think Hercules is in baby Jamal
- 32:57Speaker 2: Cale's future though.
- 32:58Speaker 4: So I've seen Field of Dreams VIC probably twenty times.
- 33:03Speaker 4: I love that movie. Love that movie. James Earl Jones.
- 33:07Speaker 4: I I love his character in that movie. That being
- 33:12Speaker 4: said go the distance? Did he mean drive to Fenway
- 33:15Speaker 4: Park and eat the dog with James Earl Jones? Is
- 33:18Speaker 4: that going the distance or just take it all the way, dude, Like, uh,
- 33:22Speaker 4: just build the friggin field, you know, get the farmers
- 33:26Speaker 4: almost in for closure. Go the distance? Bro? What what
- 33:30Speaker 4: was he really referring to the voice.
- 33:33Speaker 5: I would assume building the field, Yeah, finish the job.
- 33:37Speaker 4: But he also left Iowa bro and his little Volkswagen
- 33:41Speaker 4: van in his bus and he drove all the way
- 33:44Speaker 4: to Boston to meet up with James Earl Jones.
- 33:49Speaker 3: Speaking of going the.
- 33:51Speaker 4: Terrence Man The Boat Rocker by Terrence Mann.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Dylan Larkin wants out of Detroit. He's been there, you
- 34:00Speaker 2: know what's crazy emotion his first year and he was
- 34:03Speaker 2: seen as somebody who might be some sort of phenom
- 34:06Speaker 2: coming into the league. Now, good player. I don't think
- 34:08Speaker 2: he's lived up to that sort of status.
- 34:10Speaker 4: He's a very good player.
- 34:11Speaker 2: His first year though in the league was when I
- 34:13Speaker 2: was doing radio and Grand Rapids, so it's like pumped
- 34:17Speaker 2: about this new prospect in Detroit and all these different things.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Very good player. That was twenty sixteen. He's been in
- 34:24Speaker 2: the league for ten years.
- 34:26Speaker 4: It was twenty fifteen, correct, fifteen. You're right.
- 34:30Speaker 2: He's been in the league for a decade, and Detroit
- 34:35Speaker 2: looked like maybe a couple of years ago they were
- 34:37Speaker 2: building something and then they kind of just completely pittered
- 34:42Speaker 2: out at the end of the year.
- 34:44Speaker 3: So he has now requested a trade. Reportedly he wants
- 34:49Speaker 3: to win.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Another name that people have thrown out there as far
- 34:55Speaker 2: as an AVS guy that maybe hasn't lived up to
- 34:58Speaker 2: his side of the bargain, especially in the postseason.
- 35:01Speaker 4: Is who tell you about Brock? Yeah, well then say it.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Well, I'm just seeing if you're gonna be on the
- 35:10Speaker 2: safe wavelength as may That's all when we talk about
- 35:14Speaker 2: changes that could come this offseason.
- 35:16Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be some.
- 35:18Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be drastic, But at this point,
- 35:22Speaker 2: most is the priority For a team like the Avalanche.
- 35:26Speaker 2: You don't need another regular season smasher. You need somebody
- 35:30Speaker 2: in the postseason that's gonna produce. And Dylan Markin's unproven.
- 35:33Speaker 2: But would this be something where you're like, maybe youre
- 35:36Speaker 2: try and do some sort of swap like that to
- 35:37Speaker 2: get some new blood in here or somebody.
- 35:39Speaker 5: In the offseason where every time there's a name that
- 35:42Speaker 5: comes up, hey, would this person look good? And well,
- 35:45Speaker 5: think about it.
- 35:47Speaker 3: You're in a position where this guy is leaving because
- 35:49Speaker 3: he wants to win.
- 35:50Speaker 5: I get it.
- 35:50Speaker 3: So it's like, if he wants to leave and go somewhere,
- 35:53Speaker 3: it would be a team like the Avs, wouldn't it.
- 35:55Speaker 4: He's got a full note trade so he can decide
- 35:57Speaker 4: where he wants to go.
- 35:58Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 36:00Speaker 4: His skating ability certainly fits in with what the Avs do.
- 36:03Speaker 4: He's a good skater. He's the problem with and i'd
- 36:06Speaker 4: say a problem. The issue with Dylan Larkin in the
- 36:10Speaker 4: Red Wings is he's never really been in today's grand
- 36:14Speaker 4: scheme of things. Can you win without a true number
- 36:17Speaker 4: one center? Well, I mean I think right now, the
- 36:20Speaker 4: Carolina Hurricanes are showing that you can, at least so far, right,
- 36:24Speaker 4: they're one to one. Vegas has one and two. Jack Eikeel, Yeah,
- 36:29Speaker 4: I mean you look at McKinnon, McDavid, ike, I mean
- 36:32Speaker 4: you look at all the top Austin Matthews, all the
- 36:35Speaker 4: big time number number ones in the league. Well, I mean,
- 36:39Speaker 4: those don't just grow on trees. So you've got to
- 36:41Speaker 4: try to put a guy as a number one when
- 36:44Speaker 4: it comes right down to it. Is Dylan Larkin a
- 36:46Speaker 4: number one? Well for the Red Wings he has been,
- 36:50Speaker 4: but if you throw them on the Avs, that ain't
- 36:52Speaker 4: the case, right, you throw them on a number of teams.
- 36:54Speaker 4: He's not the number one center. Yeah, So you're like
- 36:57Speaker 4: you're alluding to right now, you're looking at it two, correct,
- 37:00Speaker 4: that's what you're looking at. And he's never really performed
- 37:03Speaker 4: like a true big one. He's never had an eighty
- 37:05Speaker 4: point season in his career, yep. But he can score goals,
- 37:10Speaker 4: he's relatively thick, he's got great wheels still, and he's
- 37:15Speaker 4: still in his twenties at this point, late late end
- 37:18Speaker 4: of his twenties, but he's still there. And he's a
- 37:22Speaker 4: guy that if he becomes available if he wants a trade,
- 37:25Speaker 4: and seemingly now he's going to waive his no trade
- 37:28Speaker 4: to go someplace, then a lot of teams will be
- 37:32Speaker 4: inquiring about his availability.
- 37:34Speaker 3: Now, is age at seven pers too steep? You think
- 37:37Speaker 3: how big?
- 37:37Speaker 4: How big is he? Uh? Six one two ozh five ish?
- 37:40Speaker 4: Probably right around there somewhere. I mean, he's not a
- 37:43Speaker 4: he's not a skinny guy. He's not a he's not
- 37:45Speaker 4: like NuGen Hopkins or a guy like that. He's a
- 37:47Speaker 4: he's a relatively thickish dude. Yeah, No, I mean two
- 37:52Speaker 4: twenty would be thick. Six one two twenty would be thick.
- 37:55Speaker 2: I mean in his contract of eight point seven, maybe
- 37:58Speaker 2: that's not And.
- 38:00Speaker 4: To know in today's day and age Brett with with
- 38:03Speaker 4: a cap going up, well for many many teams, that
- 38:07Speaker 4: is palatable.
- 38:08Speaker 2: What I wanted to say was, it's only one point
- 38:10Speaker 2: seven above with Brocks making off his extension, correct, So
- 38:14Speaker 2: that's not even that much of you know, a huge
- 38:18Speaker 2: jump that you would make because we all know that
- 38:20Speaker 2: the ABS are pretty limited cap space wise, they don't
- 38:23Speaker 2: have a lot of room to work with.
- 38:24Speaker 3: But that's one that you could make work.
- 38:25Speaker 4: He's a guy that I'm sure every team in the
- 38:29Speaker 4: league will call about in some capacity. Now, some teams,
- 38:32Speaker 4: like let's say you're Chris McFarland now on the Nashville Predators,
- 38:36Speaker 4: he would be their one See yeah, okay, here, he
- 38:40Speaker 4: wouldn't be In a number of teams, he would not
- 38:43Speaker 4: be the one seed, he'd be the two s And
- 38:45Speaker 4: so therefore you say he becomes a luxury to have
- 38:49Speaker 4: to have d Larkin is a two seed.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Well he look the if his priority is to be
- 38:54Speaker 2: a one se somewhere, he's not doing that on a
- 38:56Speaker 2: team that's competing for account Well, he.
- 38:57Speaker 4: Already is one. I'm just saying, well, I'm I mean
- 39:00Speaker 4: the Carolina Hurricanes are doing it.
- 39:02Speaker 2: Most likely, actually most likely, it's not gonna be a
- 39:05Speaker 2: team that's contending for a cup. So as he had
- 39:08Speaker 2: a point in his career, like you said it, most
- 39:10Speaker 2: he got in the league in twenty fifteen. Guess somebody
- 39:13Speaker 2: playoff games he's played in his career.
- 39:17Speaker 4: I don't know five, yeah, couples, he played.
- 39:20Speaker 2: One series, one series in over ten years. I mean,
- 39:23Speaker 2: I think he's looking to have a shot.
- 39:25Speaker 3: To win something somewhere. So I'm just saying, like, look,
- 39:29Speaker 3: Dick's right, this is the point in the offseason.
- 39:30Speaker 2: But when you talk about changes that the APS are
- 39:32Speaker 2: going to make, I wouldn't assume it's going to be
- 39:35Speaker 2: anything small if they do do it.
- 39:37Speaker 4: And by the way, I don't want I don't want
- 39:38Speaker 4: people to get on my bacon and bury me because
- 39:43Speaker 4: I'm not calling Sebastianajo a one sea. He is a
- 39:46Speaker 4: one sea. But but centers of the National Hockey League
- 39:50Speaker 4: like quarterbacks of the National Football League, you have your elites.
- 39:54Speaker 4: And Alho's a very very good player, don't get me wrong,
- 39:58Speaker 4: but he ain't a Matthew seeing mc and then he
- 40:00Speaker 4: ain't a mcpickoles. He ain't. He ain't that right, He's
- 40:03Speaker 4: not at that level. Right, But he and copatar one
- 40:09Speaker 4: see in La Forever, two time Stanley Cup champion, excellent defensively,
- 40:14Speaker 4: all around terrific center. Was never one hundred point guy,
- 40:18Speaker 4: that's not I mean that. But you they won with him,
- 40:21Speaker 4: They won with that, So I think.
- 40:23Speaker 5: They're lesson learned. Here is I don't care how many
- 40:25Speaker 5: great players you have. I care how great they play
- 40:28Speaker 5: in key situations.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Well that's the thing. Well, and the reason I ask it,
- 40:32Speaker 3: Vic is the reason people want to move off from
- 40:34Speaker 3: brock Nelson.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Is because brock Nelson hasn't performed in the postseason. He's
- 40:38Speaker 2: given you regular season stuff. He's been good in the
- 40:40Speaker 2: regular season. The thing with Dylan Markin is good player.
- 40:44Speaker 2: I bring up the fact that in over a decade
- 40:46Speaker 2: he's played five playoff games. You have no idea what
- 40:49Speaker 2: he's like in that department.
- 40:50Speaker 4: Is he a playoff rise Yeah it is.
- 40:52Speaker 5: I can tell you I know the playoff risers I've
- 40:54Speaker 5: seen on this team. Logan O'Connor is a playoff riser.
- 40:57Speaker 4: Yep, would you agree most I would agree.
- 41:01Speaker 5: I want playoff risers.
- 41:04Speaker 3: What would you put?
- 41:05Speaker 4: I don't care.
- 41:05Speaker 5: I don't care how great you are, how great are
- 41:09Speaker 5: you in key situations?
- 41:11Speaker 3: You know what's funny is that I've heard moser.
- 41:13Speaker 5: You're looking at me quizzically.
- 41:15Speaker 4: No. But but when you say that, I can think
- 41:17Speaker 4: of just one guy right now. I mean mark Stone
- 41:21Speaker 4: is a playoff riser. I mean I got a my
- 41:25Speaker 4: buddy Gideon.
- 41:26Speaker 3: And mark Stone only plays in the playoffs. He goes,
- 41:31Speaker 3: he goes.
- 41:33Speaker 4: He sends me a text last night nine to twelve pm.
- 41:35Speaker 4: This is after the game time goal, before the game
- 41:37Speaker 4: winning goal. Yeah, he goes mark Stone spends eleven months
- 41:41Speaker 4: of the year walking around like the fing ten man,
- 41:44Speaker 4: and then we get this every fing year. I know.
- 41:46Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, well that's he's a playoff riser, That's
- 41:49Speaker 4: what I mean. He he's actually a playoffs only type
- 41:52Speaker 4: of guy, kind of. I mean, he is now in
- 41:55Speaker 4: his thirties. But you know, look, I don't know what
- 42:00Speaker 4: can brings like an understand the when a guy.
- 42:03Speaker 5: Who else is like that Alex Caruso, Yeah he is,
- 42:07Speaker 5: Alex is a playoffs not this time.
- 42:10Speaker 4: I know you don't like him.
- 42:11Speaker 3: He was garbage in that game seven.
- 42:12Speaker 4: He was junk. Yes, it's the it's the Marissa Tomey
- 42:18Speaker 4: my cousin Vinny biological clock, right, it starts it's taking
- 42:23Speaker 4: like this. So these guys get to the almost the
- 42:26Speaker 4: age of thirty and all of a sudden their hockey
- 42:28Speaker 4: mortality really starts to come to play.
- 42:32Speaker 2: And he's he's a local kid too, He's from Michigan
- 42:34Speaker 2: like this. He probably dreamed of playing for the Wings girls.
- 42:37Speaker 4: I'm sure he did. But it's one of those you
- 42:39Speaker 4: get to the age of thirty, when's his birthday? Somebody
- 42:43Speaker 4: find out Dyln Lorkin's birthday. I don't know what it is.
- 42:45Speaker 4: But you get to the age of thirty and all
- 42:47Speaker 4: of a sudden, you're like, damn, I'm running out of time.
- 42:52Speaker 4: My life's run a lifespan July thirtieth, so he'll be
- 42:56Speaker 4: thirty years old in July thirtieth. There you go, So
- 42:59Speaker 4: he's gonna be thirty years old when this season begins,
- 43:01Speaker 4: and we've gone out of time. My life is running
- 43:03Speaker 4: out of there. You go, thanks, coach. But you start
- 43:06Speaker 4: to you start to feel that a little bit for
- 43:08Speaker 4: guys who have not won, and it's it's a forget,
- 43:11Speaker 4: forget too difficult thing, which is why so many people
- 43:13Speaker 4: are talking about Matthews. So many people are talking about
- 43:16Speaker 4: mcpickles and what their future holds, because you you start
- 43:20Speaker 4: to hit that age and your mortality comes into play.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's to me, it's not even about like
- 43:28Speaker 2: haven't won, it's like, haven't even had the opportunity correctly
- 43:31Speaker 2: in your career correct And I think for if you're
- 43:34Speaker 2: at this stage, you're probably like, I will take a
- 43:37Speaker 2: step down in role if it means I get the chance.
- 43:40Speaker 4: Well, right now, the abs are pretty good shapes still,
- 43:43Speaker 4: I mean, you can never have too much depth up
- 43:45Speaker 4: the middle ever, and they've got still tremendous depth up
- 43:49Speaker 4: the middle. And again we talk about Brock, you know,
- 43:52Speaker 4: those breakaway opportunities and off the iron and a couple
- 43:55Speaker 4: of great saves by heart and so on. Man, I
- 44:00Speaker 4: I don't know that. You're right. I want to see
- 44:03Speaker 4: more out of him. You're right, I do. I want
- 44:05Speaker 4: to see brought Nelson in a non Olympic year. Just
- 44:08Speaker 4: have a regular human season in an av sweater and
- 44:11Speaker 4: then let's go. That's me personally, Brett.
- 44:15Speaker 3: It's just it's tough.
- 44:16Speaker 2: It's tough moment because let's be honest here, he really
- 44:19Speaker 2: had one point the entire postseason. You want to eliminate
- 44:23Speaker 2: a couplets. It's one point in thirteen games. That's not
- 44:27Speaker 2: acceptable for a second line.
- 44:28Speaker 4: That is correct, but if you start like grasping it,
- 44:31Speaker 4: Dylan Larkins at eight point sevens, I mean does it
- 44:34Speaker 4: make a difference. I mean, can he help He can
- 44:36Speaker 4: help any team in the National Hockey League big time.
- 44:38Speaker 4: He's that guy. He's that kind of guy.
- 44:40Speaker 3: How do you think he played in the Olympics?
- 44:42Speaker 4: Dylan, Okay, yeah, yeah, fine, I have no problems with
- 44:46Speaker 4: that whatsoever. I mean, he he's a he's a very
- 44:50Speaker 4: good player. I don't. I mean he's a thirty goal guy.
- 44:54Speaker 4: He's he's, uh, you know, honestly, though, where is he?
- 44:57Speaker 4: He's probably a mid on this team, though on the Avs,
- 45:00Speaker 4: he's he's gonna be like Cadrey did that. He's gonna
- 45:02Speaker 4: break eighty points on this team. He's more than eighty points.
- 45:06Speaker 4: I can promise you that because he hasn't really had
- 45:09Speaker 4: the supporting cast around in his entire career either, because
- 45:12Speaker 4: the Wings have been mostly in rebuild notes since he
- 45:15Speaker 4: was a rookie.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Right, So three oh three, five oh five, shot Master
- 45:19Speaker 2: text line, one price, one person an hour.
- 45:21Speaker 3: Adam Schefter is.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Gonna join us at nine o'clock today get a little
- 45:25Speaker 2: offseason NFL love. So stay tuned for that at nine o'clock.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Back after this
