• 1:34
  Speaker 2: twenty Lakers one thirteen, and do I dare say you

  Speaker 2: can go ahead and take that l on the way out.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: And it's just basketball at the end of the day,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: it's just basketball.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Jamal Warria Mader shot.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: You like getting narrowed by the King.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Look, that's a big one. Yesterday it was with a
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: loss of the sixth seed. With a win, you're now
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: back time with Houston. You're sitting at the five because
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: of win percentage stuff. But they're both nine and a
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: half games back at first place. You're a game out
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: of third, so you're right back in that mix. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: would say it's a very very good win, a great game.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I still have questions Vic Moses boys, Oh, welcome back,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Welcome back mos. Does your does your shirt just say
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: death or is there something underneath it? All I see
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: is death on your shirt.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: That's all you need to know. Br Okay, got it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: There's one thing that I am again, good wines this
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: oh death before disco gotcha? Well, just it cut off
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: right at the death part. I was like, that's an
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: aggressive shirt for a.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Friday morning where his mind is right now.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: But listen, listen, I don't know how you guys feel
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: good win. They did close the game out. I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: there's different definitions on closing a game out, like when
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: you're up fourteen points with nine and a half minutes
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: left to go and it's down to the last possis.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I don't like that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: But no, I can talk about style. Okay, we promised
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: this yesterday.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I understand I got it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: During this seven game stretch. We looked at this yesterday,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: you and I and said, if you win these games,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: these seven style points don't matter.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I agree with you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Overall.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: I agree with you. I would still say made it
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: a little bit more difficult than they had to. Is
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: that fair?
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah? But you know what, when you think of it
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: this way, they beat a Lakers team that was essentially
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: fully stacked. The Lakers lost DeAndre Ayton. That guy, that's
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: their problem.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I think he's being misused. Didn't you hear him last week?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: They did so without their top four forwards. They don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: have a forward.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah right now, yep, you're playing Zeke twenty four minutes like,
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: that's not ideal. We all kind of know it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: A lot of things I want to get into regarding
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: that game, a lot of tell that I wanted to
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: talk to you guys about. But at the end of
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the day, I thought that was the Nuggets' biggest home
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: win since the win at home against Minnesota on Christmas Night.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Agreed, Agreed, Mark, do you agree?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I totally do. It was frustrating for me though down
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the stretch. The Joker turnovers they a lot bothered me
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: a lot, especially late. You've got a three point lead,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: You've got an opportunity, you know, and then you again
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: it's it's just a tick off. He's trying to feed
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: it to Jamal at the top of the three point line,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and it's red well by the Lakers coming back the
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: other wage. It's just little things like that that frustrate
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: me right now. And maybe I'm nitpicking and maybe I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: allowing myself to be frustrated, but it did, and I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: thinking to myself, man, that's a lot for the big fellow.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Nine turnovers is a lot. In fact, they think he
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: had more than the rest of the team combined.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: I saw Adamars say this yesterday. I thought the same thing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: In the middle of the game, Joki has like his
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: greatest asset is probably touch that or maybe IQ and
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: he had that one play it was like the block
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: shot by Bruce Brown or short shot that he just
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: kind of tipped up there and made. But he has
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: had a few too many, Like his hands haven't looked
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: the same since coming back.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I one thing I noticed. I got a chance to
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: work the game up close, literally on the floor.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, text in if you were able to touch Vic
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: last night on your Apple Pro glasses.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Apple Vision pros. I don't know how many people watching
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: or listening to this show actually watched that game via
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: that form, but if you did, hey, but watching the
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: game up close, here's what I noticed. The grab grab
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: grab the ol Vince Lombardi like, grab grab grab. Every
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: team is doing that now with Joker. Yeah, they're just
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: trying to get away with it, and if they get called,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: they get called.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Vin Gunny called it out. He's like, he's like, this
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: is getting a little ridiculous. What they're doing the Joker
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: over the last time, the last few He's like, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: way that they're defending Joker is is pretty wild.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Well, what what teams are doing. I notice it. They're
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: they're being taught, they're being coached. Just throw your hand
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: in there and we'll take our chances if it's a
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: foul as a foul, who can throw your hand in there, Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: and get a piece of skin, get some fly.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: It feels like, yeah, it feels like it's a war
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: of attrition, Like just keep doing it. They can't call
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: everything they want to, every.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Single possession, every single possession. I noticed it, every single one,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: especially late. A small a guy from the backside, he'll
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: get the ball and it's just this, it's you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: everybody's just non at him, and after a while it
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: gets crazy. You gotta just sort of be patient. How
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: do you fix that? What do you do about that?
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Because what do you think of Coloma City, there's Olahoma City.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: There are a pack of hyaenas.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: When you say, what do you do about that? There's
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: nothing you can do other than bring bring it to
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: the attention of the refs, Like there's what you can't
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: combat that by.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: But not all of it is fouling, is what I'm saying.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Not all of it is fouling. They just bring the
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: whole pack of players and they start.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Now at him.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you got to make a read instantly in
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: a split second, or it's a turnover.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: That's why I feel like that, God, I really hope
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Ag is back tonight. I'd be pretty disappointed if he wasn't,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: to be honest with you, because it feels like this
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: game is set up for it. You know, you don't
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: play the first game of.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: That he'll be back to back. He'll bet he's back.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: He's back tonight.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: He's back Tonight's are you reporting this? I'm I'm not
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: gonna make it official until the team does.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's back tonight. You need a cutter, is
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: what you need. You need somebody it's gonna move. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: it feels like a lot of times when that happens,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: everybody's kind of standing around the three point line and
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: just kind of like waiting for the pass. Go make
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: something happen. Help him.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: It wasn't reported. I stated it three days ago.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: But they're trying to tie him up, you know what
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. That's all it is. Everybody's trying to tie
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: him up late. And the fact that despite the nine turnovers,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: they still won the game. And look who made the
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: clutch shots down the stretch.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Yes he did.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Yep, beautiful little floater at the end of that game.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: So you get this win against the Lakers again, it
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: keeps you out of the sixth seed, which is what
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: that game was for at the time.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Last night.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I will say this, there's been one I think, big
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: positive over the last few weeks with all these injuries
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: and guys having to play Julians. Trouther is a player.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: I like him, and he's got something that I don't
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: think the rest of the team has in their arsenal.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: That little dribble drive running floater thing is really effective.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Well, he works at it, man. The guy puts in
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: the work. Every player says it puts in the gym
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: time to get it crafted. I agree with you. And
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: you know what else he does pretty well. He's not
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: a bad defensive rebounder. He's up there with the trees.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean again, look at who's on the court,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: look at who the Nuggets were missing last night, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: then tell me that wasn't a big win, because it was.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: It was in the same seat. Yeah, they're up by
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: eleven fifteen. They just can't pull away. They can't pull
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: away right now.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Well, then when I mentioned this earlier motion, I don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: know if you feel the same way as I do
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: when we talk about closing games. Did the Nuggets close
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: the game last night? Yeah, they got to win, technically
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: they did, But closing the game can also mean you're
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: up fourteen with nine minutes and fifty seconds left and
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: your starters don't have to go back in. That could
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: also be closing the game. And I guess that's I
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: don't want to sound like me and Vic made a
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: promise that we weren't going to complain no matter what
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: result was, as long as you gotta win. But I
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: will say that Jamal talked about a postgame like losing
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: their clutch, and he did it in a tongue in
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: cheek sort of wink wink style. But here's what he said.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: Always confident. I'm always confident, believe we have enough in
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: the room to always get the job done or whoever's
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: on the court.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: So you know, it's a difficult. I feel like for
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: ten years.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: We've been so good, so good, and then we this
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: is probably our worst years so far of just consistently
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: being clutched, and now we don't gotten no more. So
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: it's just it's just how it goes.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Sometimes.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: We just got to prove you guys wrong.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: So if you saw his face, Thumbo, she has got
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: a very rye grin on his face.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Why yeah, I can the sarcasm is dripping out of
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: his out of his words.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: There.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have it any mark, or we don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: got it no more. H Well you don't, I mean
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: not like you did. I mean maybe you think you
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: still have it someplace. And again, Jamal Nuggets, you're not
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: going to find a bigger fan than I am. In
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: terms of of wanting to believe. I go by what
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the evidence is in front of me. Well, then I
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: guess prove me wrong. You'll prove everybody else wrong because
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: you're not closing out the way you did. And it
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: seems to me that not all the time, but when
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: it's sort of fits and stops, they make it more
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: difficult on themselves than they have to. That's what it is. Yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I look at other games. I mean, I'll go back
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: to the Clipper game, which was excruciatingly frustrating down the
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: stretch where you've got two straight possessions, you just throw
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the ball away and you're like, well that's the ballgame
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: right there. So you're not what you used to be.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It's not the same as it was Jamal or anybody else.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: But I think it's probably in there some place. I
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: just think we've been talking about this for a long time.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: It's the confidence factor. It's the wanting to have jam
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: factor and playing with that ump factor that you've shown
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: so many times. That's all it is. It can come back,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, or it's in there dormant right now, but
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: there's no doubt in my mind. I like it can
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: re emerge. But yeah, what's frustrating to me a little
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: bit last night when you look at the overall numbers
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: in terms of shooting percentage, three point percentage, free throw percentage,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I mean you were really good. Yeah, I mean those
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: numbers are really good across the board. Yet you're they
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: hit the frees.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: You know what, again, I am not going I'm not
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: going to go down here tonight. I'm not going to
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: criticize the win because of what they were missing. These
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: next six games, one is done. Six games. Every one
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: of them will have warts, good or bad, win or lose.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Warts will be had. You're not gonna be clean here.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: You're not blowing these teams out. If you do great,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: if you do great, but if you find a way
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: to get by and win these games, those are huge wins,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: huge in the toughest stretch of the season. Last night
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: was number one.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Did you guys hear Jamal postgame with the Prime folks?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Where they were?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I did not, No, I turned it off. It was
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: eleven something at night here, No.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Vicky, you playing video games before? Jamal was talking to
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: the Prime folks and they talked about how good he's
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: always been against the Lakers.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Listen to this, three games straight of twenty five plus
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: points against the Lakers. Is there something or is there
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: is something they're not doing or is there something when
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: you step on the court against the Lakers that you
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: get a little bit more worked up or a little
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: bit more aggressive?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Insully. I don't I don't know what the narrative is.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: I had forty five last game, so like it's just Lakers.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: I'm hoping for a living man. There's one thing that
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: is an indisputable fact.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I saw a lak.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: I saw a Lakers fans say this yesterday after the game,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: and he goes, there is not five players in NBA
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: history that are better than Jamal Murray versus the Lakers.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: It's so true.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: He just kills them.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: He kills them well he did. The first half was unreal,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: the first half, the way he came out. I don't
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: recall seeing Jamal Murray was so much spunk as he
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: displayed in the first quarter of that game.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: It was a great start.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, getting out eleven to nothing, building that lead. I mean,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: you win wire to wire. You didn't give up the lead.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Once for a living man.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Most You know how sometimes you're called upon to broadcast
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: national games for the APPS and you have to sort
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: of play it down the middle.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, Robbie, it happened. Well, the only time it's happened
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: to me was in the Stanley Cup final. But you
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: did it. But I did a pretty good job. Yeah.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Do you know how difficult it was for me to
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: do a broadcast last night? And I didn't do what
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: you do, but I still had a host where I
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: had to play it sort of down the Lakers side.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: That was rough, fun feel very unnatural rough mean.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Example, right, you know, you're coming out of a break
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: and the whole scope of what you're talking about is
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: about how the Lakers is going to get back in
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: the game, and the Lakers are looking it's not about
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: what the Nuggets are doing and say, man, you know, halftime, halftime,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: the Lakers got to figure out a way to stop
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Jamal Murray.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I will say this one big thank you to the Lakers.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: When you're in crunch time and you need a bucket,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: keep giving the ball to Marcus Smart for threes. That's
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: really nice. Thank you for doing that well.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: And see here's another thing, Vic, I'm sorry about that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I mean to cut you off, but he came down
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: and he clanked two threes in a row. And to me,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: that's you're not You're not closing the game out when
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Marcus Smart is just firing it up from thirty feet.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're You're like, thank you, thank God. Did
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: you see I was.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Fortunate with the minute left and I think it was
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: a three point game the three lebron had the ball
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: under the basket and popped it out to Marcus Smart.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, And in the middle of that play, I'm like,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: what the hell was that?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, what is he doing? I got an idea giving
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the giving the Nuggets a break, That's what he was doing.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: Nuggets are down three, No what we need to do.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: He get out the Spencer Jones for the three unless
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: try it. It's not what you do. You have Luca
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: and Lebron on that team or Austin Reeves made no sense.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: But thank you giant, thank you card coming your way.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: So the Nuggets get the win last night. Big game
• 16:01

• 16:04
  Speaker 5: want to get to the Avs most. They make a

• 16:08
  Speaker 5: There was a deal that was done in place with
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Calgary to bring cadri back, and the Flames ownership put
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: the Kebash on it for whatever reason, so you end
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: up with Nicholas Waugh. We'll get to that along with
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, you want to talk about a big game. Yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: it's big for the Nuggets, even bigger for the Avs

  Speaker 5: keep hearing there was so much smoke around NOZM. Kadrin
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: coming back to Colorado by all these sports motion that
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: deal was done and at the last second, the ownership
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: of Calgary put the kebash to it. First of all,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: why do you think that is? Why are you going
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: through all these negotiations? If I think it's just.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Because they don't they don't want to retain any money.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: They don't want to they don't want to hang on
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: to any of his money. Okay, that's my that's my
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: guess anyway.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, so they make a pivot and they'll get Nicholas Waugh.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Give us the breakdown of this player.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Uh, just a big, strong, third line center is what
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: he is. Six foot four, big, thicker guy. He's difficult
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: to play against, especially in his own end. And from
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: what I've heard from my people regarding the Maple leafs,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: remember he went that way from the Marner thing and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: so on. Okay, so my my people say basically that
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: the whole Leafs team right now, is they're kind of yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: they you know, nobody's been utilized right or nobody has
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: any you know, nobody believe it's just it's a it's
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: not a good situation in Toronto.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Did they think it's a Bruby problem?
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, which is crazy because
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: you think Bruby's a pretty good coach, right, I mean,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: you want to Stanley Cup with the Blues, and they
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: seem like they were really focused on him when they
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: made that higher in the first place. But that it's
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: not just it's not just whah, it's every kind of
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: everybody there. It's just kind of stuck in the mud
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit. And it's more than that. I think
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: it's you know, it's the it's the leadership of the
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: of the team, it's the front office. It's just and
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: so that getting him back, uh in a in a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: better position is going to be good for him. So
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: we'll look forward to seeing that hopefully hopefully tonight. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: don't know what the immigration situation is. It's always difficult
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: when you do a deal for a guy to get
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: that process of you know, having the paperwork cleared if
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: he's coming from can it's a pain in the tail
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and that's what it is.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: How close were they to some of the rumored gets
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: out there, the Cadre, the O'Reilly, Did any of that even?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Was it just talk?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I think so, Vick. I don't think Ryan O'Reilly wants
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to go any place. And you know they have excuse me, apologize.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: They have history with him obviously, but you know, he's
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: a guy. I'm sure that a lot of teams seek out.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Seems like Nashville's blowing the whole thing up anyway. They've
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: traded several players, so uh, I guess it's a possibility.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that at this point in his career
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: he wants to move. You know, he already has a
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: cup in hand. He's probably happy there. The Cati thing,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: it appears it was on ownership. I mean, I'm reading
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: what you guys are reading. I haven't talked to anybody
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: in the know in our situation. On our side, he
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: didn't have a chance to really just kind of getting
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: on the plane and then getting the heck to Dallas
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: and that's it. So look, could they have got done?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I mean it sounds like maybe they did get it
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: done and ownership put the cabash on it. They just
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: did not want to retain any bread. And if you're
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: the Colorado Avalanche and you are thinking ahead to the
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: next three years of Nozmkadori's contract, that seven million is
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: a big, big hit for a third line quote third
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: line center, because brock Nelson's playing very well at the
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: number two spot and you designed him to a brand
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: new three year deal. So it's really not a luxury
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: you can afford to have beyond this season because you're
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: gonna have to re sign Koe, You've got other things
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: that are coming up, and and there you go.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Here's the thing. We talked about this yesterday, me and Vic,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: and it was the idea that do the Avs need
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: to get bigger and more physical? And that's been like
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: a common theme among like a whole bunch of Avs fans,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: is you need to get bigger and more physical for
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. And I said, most correct me if I'm wrong.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: This team is built off speed and skill. They aren't
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: built off size. Now, you can have some of it,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: but their main thrust here is that they are more
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: talented and faster than their opponent. And then yesterday they
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: make this move, and I see a whole bunch of
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: AVS fans complaining that he's slow, and I'm like, well,
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: which one is it? Do you want the big, physical,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: gritty guy who's gonna get a little bit grimy and
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: and bring some attitude or do you want everybody like
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: I'm so confused every time the Abs make a move
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: because it feels like nobody's ever like, you can't satisfy anyone.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Well, let's see how slow he is when he gets
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: in an av sweater. Let's see then. Okay, because.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: You think guys have a payment the pace that they
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: play with, could you could force him into playing their.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Thousand, one thousand percent? And what Toronto does? It makes
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: everybody look like they're in molasses. Okay, again, it's a
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: it's a team that has had a very difficult year
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: in Toronto, so every every buddy looks like they're crappier. Hey,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: when you look at the production of Austin Matthews, is
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: it up to the normal Austin Matthews of every other
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: single year. No, the answer is no, not at all.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: So what I mean, nobody is having any kind of career?
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: You're there, nobody?
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Uh, I'm excited about it. I think it's a
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: move that that gives you a little bit of a
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: flavor of what you didn't have, which is size and physicality.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Are they done, you know, Vick, I don't know that
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: they are. The deadline isn't for a couple of hours here,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: so who knows. I mean, I guess they they could be.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: They could be happy with the club they got, But
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know that they're that they're completely done. I'm
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: sure the phones are still ringing out there. This is
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: really interesting because it's kind of a late end of
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: this season or end of the season, end of the
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: week thing, like nothing really started to heat up until
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: maybe even Wednesday night for other teams, you know, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: then you saw that John Carlson deal got done this morning.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Washington is trading him to the Ducks that got done
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the morning. I mean, I got
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: a text about that at five forty five your time.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: They have room, they have.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: A little money to play with. Yeah. But again, if
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Logan O'Connor comes back, and you're hoping that that is
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: the case, that's going to take up some of that true,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: because he's going to get activated onto onto the roster.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Ron rights in, And this is where I want to
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I would love to debate this with listeners. Ron rights
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: in giving up a first for a guy with twenty points.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And I know a lot of people mentioned how much
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: you had to give up? Are you guys of the
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: opinion like I am. When you are in the window,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: the window to win cups and championships and trophies, blank
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: them picks.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't look at windows.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Look, man, listen, listen, everybody blank them picks when you're
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: in the window.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I am putting the Avs, the Nuggets and now the
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Broncos and all the same category of if you find
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: a player that can help you right now, do it.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Especially in hockey, most you draft some guy in the
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: first round. And look, I'm not saying that's not valuable.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: It is valuable. But that's a draft. Wait a couple
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: of years, two, three years down the line, maybe he's ready.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I want guys who are ready right now.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much you're not talking about a
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: lottery pick here at all.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: It's a second rounder two yeah, And I don't know
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: how else to put it. I don't care about future generations.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: I care about the teams now. When I'm watching, Well.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: What do you want your team to do? Do you
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: want your team to be active and proactive and try
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: to go for it? Now? I guess, I guess, fans,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: what what do you want out there? To me? I
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: would want my team to try and get it done
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: in the immediate sense.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go on the record and say, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: don't care how the Nuggets and the Aves and the
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Broncos and the Rockies and the rest. I don't care
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: how they do in the twenty thirties.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't care. Here's the main thing. Okay, this
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: is what you always have to remember. Is a first
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: round pick for Nicholas Waugh. Uh seems steep. Yeah, it
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: seems seems like it's the when it when it was
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: first announced. In fact, that was my first reaction to
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Johnny Lyles and the boys. Seems a little steep, But
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: that's the going price right now that if you want
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: to get us, and it's not We're not talking about
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: a winger here either. We're not talking about, uh, you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: a sixth seventh defenseman. We're talking about guys up the
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: middle and centers are inherently more valuable overall as a
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: position group.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Than wingers are period. End of story.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: But but but what I was getting to here was
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: does it seem steep? Yes, you won't remember it at
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: all if he's hoisting the cup at the end of
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: the year.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I care you made debate. You know who you get
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: in exchange for those late first round picks, But utilizing
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: those picks when you're in a cup window, I don't care.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Take them, take.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Them, totally agree, Like, I have no issue if you
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: tell me that the Broncos traded their first round pick
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: this year for a wide receiver or running back and
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: be like cool. Good.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Now, if you're a player, if you're a twelve or
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: fifteen year old texting this show and this is going
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: to impact your watching you're viewing in the thirties, you
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: have a point.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: But they know they don't because you can remember the cup. Now,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: that's the thing, like I I want.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: I don't care about future generations.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: This is exactly most how I want my front office
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: to behave When you're in the place that the abs
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: are at, I want my front office to be like,
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: bleep it, push your chips to the middle of the table.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: I'm going for it. And if we don't get it, well,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: you can't say I didn't try.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm with you. I'm going to go with
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: the Kyle Shanahan school of thought, and that is Sunday,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: we all may be dead bike. Okay, so your shirt
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: literally says death. Mos right, we could be all change
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: it during the break. We could all be dead sometime soon.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: You better fix your voice. We got three hours trying.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I understand. I believe me when.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I tell you it sounds like you have a los
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: engine there. You're doing a lot of this when you're talking.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: You're doing, dude, a lot, A lot of that's going on.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: And I know I've been nice to you. I've gone
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: out of my way to be nice to you for
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: these first two segments because I was a jerk to
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: you the other day and it caused a two day
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the hell happened to you, and
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: I apologize for being a jerk, but I'm sorry. I
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: just can't take three hours of.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Not doing that. I can. I completely agree it would Yeah. Nothing.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of something on this planet that's
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: as annoying as hearing somebody clear their throat or eat,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: you know, into a microphone. It's gross. I completely agree
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: with you. I've got no excuses.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Zero nine ninety two, says Vick. You don't care about
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: two thousand and thirty. You don't care about two thousand
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: and thirty because you're ancient af Sorry for that. My
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: only my only retort. You're right, you know I'm it's
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: probably an eleven year old tweeting that or texting that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: You're probably right. But I don't care about how you
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: watch these teams when you're my age.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: I care about how I watch them and what I
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: get from.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Them, win nothing we have dead with dust absolute.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Does anybody go to their grave and say, oh, may
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: may these teams fulfill you like they fulfilled me?
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: No, does anybody say that or do that?
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: And I have no idea what you're sing.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: I hope they lose every game when you're watching.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Why does it have to be like I'm if I'm
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: being lowered or spread or thrown into the wind or
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: whatever it is they do with me when I'm gone,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I don't care what you do. Gave me to the shark.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Can I put you in a dumpster.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: That that's completely fine. Throw me in a landfill. I
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: don't care. Whatever is most economical. Bury me in a
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: pod and let a friggin oak tree grow out of me.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't care.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Whatever it is you did, you say that happened, you said,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Tommy Tuberville.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: If I don't tell, Timberville's Pat Dye. But whatever you,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: whatever you do, do by the way, I want to
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: see that tree someday. I would like to see the
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: tree that that Pat Dye is feeding. Nonetheless, whatever you do,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the moment before that. I'm gonna be
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: pissed that my team didn't win a championship before I
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: was spread into the wind, you know what I mean.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: And somehow my DNA, my cells will be absorbed by
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: that tree and I'll be in a leaf the fall,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: flying off the tree. Pissed that so and so didn't
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: win a cup, or so and so didn't win a
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Vince Lombardi Trophy or whatever, I'll be. I'll be mad.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I want it now. This is what I want.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, you think the folks in Buffalo, after being
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: so close to winning Super Bowls all those years, It's okay,
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: we're close now, but the future is going.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: To be great. For all these buffalo teams. No, it's not,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: no it, Chris writes in the actual, the actual Notice
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: it's not.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Bubbs writes in typical boomer vic. Yeah huh yeah. Give
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: me championships now, give me championship windows right now? What
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: happens when you're my age? I don't care. I don't care.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Can I put you in a wood chipper as a
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: text should suggest?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: What do I care? Absolutely, you're just like put me
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: in what I mean, put me in whatever, use me
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: as bait. I don't care, big motion.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: How was your by the way, how was your golf
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: round yesterday that that excluded?
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Was it two days? It took you a day to recover?
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah? No, actually yesterday was a travel day.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, So how was golf two days ago?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Awful?
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: That's why the mood you're in right now.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Was it a tough It was a it was a
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: difficult course. It's all that Bermuda grass. So your club
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: can't really you can't. Your club's going to get grabbed
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: and showed up by the earth because it doesn't want
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: to get through the Bermuda grass that well. And I
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: was I was terrible. I topped three drives. I started up.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I birdied the first hole, part of the second hole,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: and I made a nine on the third hole. Seen
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that story before, Yeah, I was terrible.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: When you birdied the first hole and you're you're singing,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: how did how did mcgay shoot?
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: It was worse than me. I Kyle sucked. Kyle shot
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: eighty four. I think he had one. He had one
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: high noon the entire day because his whole goal was
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to win. What you mean the whole goal was His
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: goal wasn't It wasn't to have fun. His goal was
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: to win.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Win.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: A couple of little little side side things going on
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: during the course of the game.
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: If if he can't knock a few back and play
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: around at golf, it's a matter with him. Think are
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: you allowed to drink while you're playing at Augusta?
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Oh god, yeah, yeah, oh yes, oh yeah, we were drinking.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Trent writes in Trent, you and I we're brothers. Trent

• 32:20
  Speaker 4: see you know that was sure? You're mature beyond your years.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: You're not like a lot of these buffoons who keep
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: pushing it down the line.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: You win now. So Trent looks like he's either Dutcher German.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Oh the last name? Yeah, uh double dip. Tonight, the
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Abs are gonna be thank you. The Apps are gonna
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: be a ninety two five as they take on Dallas
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: in a huge game. And I do want to get
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: to some audio from Bednard the other day and how.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: This is a big He's a big, big game. I've
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: got some numbers. They're gonna blow your mind. Dallas is
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: playing rope Hints is supposed to be back tonight. Miko's
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: still out, but this is a team that is playing
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: really well. And the big reason it's been the same
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: thing all year long. They are power play merchants.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: They told us. Jared told us, I can't even remember
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: if you were on the show, and Jared joined us.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: We'll play the audio when when we come back, because
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: we got it. I mean, Bennar is taking this seriously
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: like a playoff game tonight. So we'll get to that
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: in just a second. The Avs head to Dallas to
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: face the Stars pre game for the Avs kicks off
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: at five thirty, with that being on ninety two five.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: The Nuggets will host the Knicks and you can hear
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: that on AM nine to fifty. That pregame at six
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: thirty in all pre games powered by romos Law Medical
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Doctor and Attorney. Is it ramoslaw dot com for more.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: But the Avs are on ninety two five, the Nuggets
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: on AM nine to fifty. Two huge games that we'll
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: get to next Avs in stars huge game. It will
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: feel like a playoff game, I'm sure. And I know
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: that because we talked to the head coach of the
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Avs two days ago, Jared Bednar, and he said this
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: about tonight's game.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: These are huge games. So we are cheap Friday like
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: a playoff game.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: That's why were and to relax and clear the heads today.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: Will start focusing up tomorrow and we'll get ready on Friday.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Like to me, that's that's a big one. It's a
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: it's a playoff game. We'll treat it that way. And
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: you know it's not necessarily do or die winner a home,
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: but it's a big game and I want to see
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: our guys treat it that way. And I love it,
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: you know what It did you know what it is?
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: It's really good practice for the playoffs.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Yet it is practice for the playoffs, is what he
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: sees tonight's game. As in in moj this is We've
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: been on both sides of this with both the As
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: and the Nugget As the Nuggets over the last few years,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: the Nuggets have the number of the Lakers have the number.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: You play them, you feel confident that you're gonna win.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Minnesota has the Nuggets number. This is a case where
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Dallas has your number, and they have over the last
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: few years. I think a game like this is really
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: important mentally for this team.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I think you're absolutely correct, Bred. I think that it's
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: a It's a heck of a game for both teams.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: The measuring stick ass spect. They're trying to keep Dallas
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: in Bay aspect. It's the biggest game of the season
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: by a mile. Dallas comes in having won ten in
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: a row, which is a season high for them. Franchise correct,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: The Avs have won ten in a row twice this season,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: which is pretty amazing, but Tampa has the most this
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: season at eleven in a row, and in those ten wins,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: the Dallas Stars have not scored less than three goals
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: in any single game. In fact, most of them they've
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: scored more than three goals. So they're they're a really
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: good club right now. They're still prolific offensively, and it's
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: because of the power play. They are clipping along at
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: basically double the ABS. Why are they on What makes
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: them so damn good on.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: The power play?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: They've got good players who executed very well. Vic. They've
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: got different kinds of players. Now Tyler Sagan's out for
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year, but they've got defenseman who
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: will drive the puck to the front of the net.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: They got guys like Wyatt Johnston who will dig it
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: out out and knock at home. I mean, they're just
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: they're they're very confident on it, they're very quick on it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: They pass well and shoot well. It's what they do.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: And that's crazy thirty.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Percent of the power play. Yeah, and they've gotten at
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: least one power play goal in seven straight games. You know.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: But when I look at the Avs, they're starting to
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: put some things together too. You realize that Captain gabel
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Andiskog do you know, well, he's playing right now. He's
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: got twelve points in his last twelve games. As a
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: plus fourteen. I mean that injury in Florida sucked, no
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: doubt about it. He missed the entire month of January
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: and then went to the Olympic Games and played. But
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: maybe it was a good thing because you took a
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: month of wear off those tires. Right Yeah, and he's playing.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: He's playing good hockey right now. And I always said
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: it for the three years we were talking about Gabe.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: The money, okay, but you want the player. And when
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: you get the player playing like he is playing right now,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: he's at five hundred and ninety nine career points, that's
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: what you want. You want that guy to be playing
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: his best hockey at this time of the season. So
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the fact that the fact that this game is not
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: lost on anybody. I mean, I'm still stinging from Game
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: seven in the third period, but the fourth win for
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Dallas last year here in this building, it's stunk. It
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: was not pleasant. The whole thing was not pleasant.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: We actually just sorry, Vick, because I'm having Nelly looked
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: this up. We asked ben Nar about Gabe because Gabe
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: has been like, here's so I look at it most.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: I think it's one thing for the story that everybody
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: talks about, which is he was out for three years
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: with an injury and he comes back and he's playing well.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: It's another thing like, do you know any thirty year
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: olds who then turned thirty three and don't have some
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: sort of drop off in their game, Like he's been
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: gone for three he's three years older than he was
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: the last time he played two and he's still playing
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: at a high level. I think that's even is equally as crazy.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: I completely agree. I mean, he's a determined son of
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: a gun. And by the way, nobody's had their leg
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: taken apart and had a dead guy put in him
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: and come back and played hockey at a high level
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: at all. Ever, So everything we're seeing right now out
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: of the captain is unprecedented and I'm impressed, you know,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: but listen, this is this is an all hands on deck.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not lost on these guys from the
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: goaltending Breaker and I were talking on the plane yesterday
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: and we're talking about Jay Gottinger. He's really good. I mean,
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: he's he's a pretty damn good goalie. But you when
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: you look at the AVS numbers the other night, Scott Wedgwood,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a blowout wind for the ass. They
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: got a five to one lead, talking about in Anaheim
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: and he makes a diving gloves say with thirty four
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: points seven seconds left in the game. I mean, he's
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: badly like a mother. They want the Jennings, they want
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: they want the goalie combined Jennings. Right, Both these guys
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: are playing really really well. If not like Ottender is
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: playing better than these guys, that's how good these guys
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: are playing. So you've got a lot going for you too.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Outside the power play, which when you compare it to
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Dallas's or Edmonton's power play, it's bad, and it's bad overall,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: but I mean it looks bad outside of that. Man,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: their defensive play has been good. Five on five, they've
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: been great. This is a hell of a matchup tonight,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure the Stars feel the same way.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: The other thing that we have in factored in here,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: in addition to what we have seven more hours to
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: wait for the deadline. They got loc coming back soon.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: That's like adding somebody another body at the deadline.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on the trip. I know you guys talked
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: to the coach about that on Wednesday. He's on the trip,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: and that's a good thing. I don't know when that
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: will be, Vic, I'm hoping in the next quote couple
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: of weeks. He's got to ramp things up in practice,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: he's got to ramp things up in more skate, he's
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: got to take contact, he's got to do all these things.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: But he's closer today than he has been at any
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: point this season. So that should be that should be
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: something that makes you optimistic.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he said something to us like he's with the team.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Not so much. I was trying to read between the lines,
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: not that he was like borderline ready to get again.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: But it was a chance with the day off to
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: get back with the guys, hang out with him, get
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: back in the room, that sort of thing. But that
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: he's getting better. But it's it's massive. And then to
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: the Nuggets side of things, Vic, they take on the
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: Knicks tonight. The last time they played New York it
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: was a one thirty four to one to twenty seven
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: double overtime loss. If you guys remember that was in
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: uh yeah, that.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Was another game that they had chances to win and
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: went to overtime and then double overtime. And if you
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: remember that too, was a back to back. Yeah, so
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: both times they played the Knicks, it's he's back to back.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: I think that one was the first a back to back.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: This is the second. Can't recall sounds right, But the
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Knicks are coming in here, and it's funny of these
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: games that they have this ridiculous stretch. This might be
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: the easiest. Could they need to even put that term
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: out there?
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Well, they have.
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, after this, it's not gonna be harder than
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: ok See in Oka See or San Antonio or Houston's
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: at home on Wednesday. San Antonio is the second leg
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: of a back to back. That's in San Antonio, and
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: they have at the Lakers next Saturday.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be rough.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: So Houston at home, then you gotta jump on a
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: plane and go to San Antonio. Spurs won again last night.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: The Spurs are just they're on a tear of all tears.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: They've won nine out of ten.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Count me as a guy who would never in my
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: wildest dreams could have imagined that we would draw the
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: ire of Oklahoma City, and this really the state of
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma overall?
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: What do you mean by week show?
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I saw, yeah, I saw how Oklahoma City fans found
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: this program. Nelly set it out. I didn't realize that
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: they had.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: What are you worried about the next being mad at you?
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Come on? No, no, no, I'm not. I'm not worried
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: about the next being mad. But I just never thought
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: it would happen. I mean, I never thought we'd get
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: in a fight with Greece, you know. I mean, it's
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: just things that you can't anticipate. Oh yeah, the country
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: of Greece is pissed at this show.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Well okay, what the next don't see is that the
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: entire NBA have used that team the same exact way
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: we do, and the next refused to see it. They
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: just don't see it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: They won't look at it.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: And that's fine. I respect that it's your team. You
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: defend your team to the hilt, but don't bring that
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: stuff in here. The entire league looks at your team
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: the way we do. They're chippy at times, cheap, they're
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: based on defense, and I don't know what the is.
