• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know last time you heard me
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: on one leg up on Sports, we were congratulating mister
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: not only Alex Ovechkin, but Kenny Albert, a man that
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: lou Terminello and I got to interview about a year
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and a few months ago and congratulate him on the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: call that was eight ninety five, and I was honored
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to play a clip that Lou asked him, you know
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: what's next for Kenny Albert? Well, Lou Terminola. When we
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: did that interview on Terminalo's take, we didn't think OVI
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: eight ninety five would be next on the agenda, did we.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I mean literally a year and a few months later.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, Alex is good to be with you. Thank you no,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: especially the way Ovechkin started twenty three twenty four season.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: He had a very slow first have picked it up
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in the second half which put him in range to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: get to to eight ninety four, then eight ninety five.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And we asked Kenny what was on his bucket list?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And he has called a lot of great events Olympics,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: NFL games, NFL playoff games, MLB games, Stanley Cup finals, basketball,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and this is another one that he can add to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: his list, A great call all all the calls I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: heard the Washington TV and radio broadcasters. Great call. Ken,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Chris King, the Islander broadcaster, broadcasted it for history, not
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: like a visiting players scoring a goal in a game
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: with the Islanders one four to one. Played very well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But again, Kenny, I could add that goal to his
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: bucket list. We'll always hear it that. That's an iconic call.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And the belly flop. You can't forget the belly flop.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That was just a great moment after he scored, wasn't.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: It It was? And again, if I had tried to
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: belly flop like that, you'll be visiting me in New
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: York Presbyterian.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And you know, remember the time about how Wayne Gretzky
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: handled it was great? Well, he was raised that way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I don't you know the story, but he talked about
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: how his dad when pointed out how gracious Gordy how
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: was when Gretzky broke the record, and Gretzky's basically encourage
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: him to be as gracious, and he's been that and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: more with ov even joking around a little bit to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: get nine hundred goals, Hey, he might actually go to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: ubs and score nine hundred, Okay, This could be even
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: more history on the horizon, right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: They play, they play back there next week, Alex. If
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: he stays healthy and he's still in good shape, it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: not like he's hanging on. He's you know, he's third
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in the league with third or fourth in the league
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: with goals in goals scoring, with forty two, he might
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: hit a thousand. Say say gets another four or five goals,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: is at nine hundred. He can't hit forty five next year,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and he can hit forty five the year after, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: now it all can get total. Oh yeah, that would
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: be that would be untouchable. So yeah, that was that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: was That was a great moment. And Wayne Gretzky was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: total class personified. I thought I thought it would. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: thought that the nice stuff went a little too long.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: There was still a game to be played. But the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: NHL handled it great. They really did.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And you know, if you're in DC or want to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: take a trip down there, you might actually get to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: meet ov from three to five pm outside historic Union
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Station right across from the capitol, actually a few blocks
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: away from the capitol. So maybe lu Andi, you should
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: jump on an Amtrak and try and meet him.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Hey, sounds good to me, my friend.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And Union Station's a nice place. It really is. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: a nice station.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And actually, when we were in DC about a month ago,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Caps were playing at least a couple of nights,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: but commitments could not lead us there. I was just
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: doing advocacy work and said, but maybe one day we'll
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: get back to Capital one and see the Grade eight
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: as they're calling them. All right, well, you know the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: next thing about this is so the next night, obviously,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Florida and Houston, and I was kind of riding the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: wave of actually interviewing a student from University Houston, Cameron Olbrigo,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the sports editor for the Daily Cougar. And how cool
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was that interview? By the way, to get someone from
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Houston on the day in the Final four. He can't
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: beat that, lily.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Considering that he probably was pretty busy, even a new
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: game on the day of the champion game. That was
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a good tool for you. That was great. It was
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a great game. Houston was in control and unfortunately some
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: of the mistakes at the end cost him it. You know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: this Final four, if you replayed it, you might have
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: three you might have four different results, three different results
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: from the from the games. But let's go back quickly
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: through Saturday night Houston against Duke. Duke had that game.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Duke had that game in their back pocket. One thing
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that you saw again the veteran team Houston averaging about
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: twenty three years old, Duke averaging around eighteen nineteen years old.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You saw down the stretch a little you know, a little,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit nerves. Duke couldn't get the ball and
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: bounds on one play turned it over. But one play
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that happened that was not mentioned. Why on that last
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: play which resulted in a Cooper flag foul, why did
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Duke coach John Shire up sixty seven to sixty six,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: have the Duke players on the foul lane because even
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: though it was barely a foul, if it was a foul,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: why give the officials an opportunity to make a mistake.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: They should have been off the line because Tyres Proctor
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: was shooting the one in one and did not have
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a good game, and he was a junior, he wasn't
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a freshman, did not have a good game, missed it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: The chances of you getting offensive rebound are small, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that was one big play at cost I think cost
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Duke the game. Really did Shire. It was only is
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: only his third year. Maybe he got a little tight
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: down the stretch. That was the thing. Did Houston win
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that game? Oules or did Duke lose it? But then
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you know Houston advanced to the title game on on
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Monday night and they were in control. They were controlled
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: forty two to thirty. They were in control of the game.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Then I have to give young coach Todd golden credit
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: for pushing the pace. He he he up tempoed the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the game. Houston, I think is in tempo three sixteen
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: out of three one hundred and sixty four Division One teams,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: so we up to tempo. And then also the officials
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: called the game differently in the second half than they
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: did in the first half, only four thousand and first
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: half twenty three in the second half. Bill Raftery made
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a very good point three minutes into the game said,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: if Florida wants to win this game, they got to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: get down and dirty and as scrappy as Houston is.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And they did. And again they didn't get much from
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Walter Clayton Junior, but he did hit big baskets in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the end, and he did make the big defensive play
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that turn that resulted in turnover, the almost turnover at
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the end of the game which the loose ball was
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: picked up by Florida in the game was over and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: that was it. But on that last play down Florida
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Houston should have driven to the basket the way that
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a physical calling fouls, they probably would have gotten the whistle.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They should not have looked for the three. That's that's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: just that's just me.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And then you know, there was one play where they
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: stripped them. Houston was stripped to the ball, and I
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: thought that was going to be the game changer because
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: it just was part of that momentum that Florida was riding.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And I mean one a way to get stuck on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: seven ninety nine though, I mean really I thought he
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was going to get eight hundred on Monday night?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Did coach Kelvin alex I mean, yeah, they looked, I mean,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: at forty two to thirty, they looked, I don't want
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to say invincible, they looked almost invincible. That would have
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: been Kelvin Sampsons eight hundred wins as a college head
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: coach and his three hundred to win at the University
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of Houston and now University of Houston has gone to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the Final four seven times with some very very historic teams,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and they're still looking for their first national title. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: they've been there before, Oh and Alex with great teams
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: now with like Cinderella teams Elvin Hayes, Don Cheney in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the late sixties and sixty eight, in eighty two, eighty three,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: eighty four with Elijah on and you know those guys.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And this was an excellent, excellent team. Well hey, they
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: were nineteen and one in the Big twelve. Excellent team
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and this one hurts if you're the University of Houston
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: or if you're fan of the Cougars.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Can you break it down real quick what happened with
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that last play? Because I think everybody's still be fuddled
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: by it. So he can't make the three, he don't
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: he dribbles, it can't touch it. I mean, it was
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: just a very confusing way to end the game.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Well, once, uh, once Clayton came out, Adam he gave
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: up his dribble and he didn't take the shot because
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Clayton was gonna block it, so he could not be
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: he could not be in the first player to pick
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: up the ball or so it would have been a turnover,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: uh and the Florida player uh knocked it away. They
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: rolled on, you know, he rolled towards midcourt and by
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the time possession was regained by Florida, the clock ran out.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Tough way to lose a game, So we'll.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Have to see Cooper flag still though in number one.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: By the way, get she's he's earned another fan. My
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: fiance Gabby loves the kid, loved all the shots he
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was making, so he earned another fan that night on
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, by the way.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Well, he played a strong game on Saturday, not as
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: strong as he did in previous games, but he's played
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a strong game. He's a great player, he's a spectacular player,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and he got off a good shot on that last play,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: just you know, just missed it. And that really wasn't
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: a foul on the kid anyway, So what did you do?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Before we got to watch that exhilarating last few minutes
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of the final, we were at the garden for Mister
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Ranger Knight honoring Rod Jobert, and boy, he was a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: family friend to my dad, the Viscardi Center and so
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: many kids in the disabled community through that sports night,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and I do miss him to this day. And I know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: but Bove he wants the Rangers to make changes. I'm sure,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: but you know that was the only highlight of the night.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The honoring of johnan Quick as mister Ranger was the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: only highlight that night.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Louis, it was and real quick. I had the opportunity.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: We did the remote as you may recall, at Modell's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the Morning show with the Episcopal Show, and Rod was,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: uh was there and he is such a good guy
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and just a regular guy, and uh yeah, we God
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: rest his soul. He was. He was a great Rangers,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: all time leading goal score at four o six, member
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: of one of the most famous lines in hockey with
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: John Retelling to Cadfield. Yeah, a great Ranger. But he
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: would not have been happy if he was alive and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: saw what happened on Saturday and then follow up on Monday.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I mean they would totally dominate on Saturday with their
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: life on the line at Prudential Center, and then on
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Monday night, really they show a little more life. But
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: they were down three to nothing at the end of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the first period. You knew that weren't going to win.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. Watch out for Tampa Bay that Uh, they
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: they're still They're still a contender without question. And uh, now,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: as the Rangers are two points away from elimination, obviously
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: they're not going to make it unless they have the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: greatest comeback in the history of the league. Next week
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: is going to me, He's going to be a pretty
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: big week. Are they going to keep the coach? Peter
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: la Vallett? Is Chris Drewy still going to be the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: general manager?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Laviolette admitted he doesn't go to
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: locker room after a loss. I don't understand why he
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: said that publicly.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so again, everybody has their own little things
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: what they do before after games. But the Rangers have
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of questions. Marks Is this the end of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Chris Cryer's regime with the Rangers? Yeah? I think it is.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I think his days are done, he said. I mean
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: he's got twenty calls, he's got five assists, he's got
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: five assists. I mean he's fifty points lower than last year.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, how could that be? Savanahjad Last year he
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: got offt a bad star and he picked it up.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: This year he's been inconsistent. Could could they find a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: taker for him? Adam Fox? Adam Fox again? This is
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: just me excellent player, Do not get me wrong. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: don't think even though he won a normous trophy, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: don't think he's a normous trophy type of player. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: think he's a bit overrating. So you know, we'll see
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: what they're not going to trade him. I'm not saying
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: to trade him to cut him loose, but what they're
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: gonna do with the human turnover KeAndre Miller. I mean,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you don't even have to force check him hard and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he'll give you the puck he's I mean, he's not
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: progressed like they thought, so we'll see a lot if they.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Build around Johnny Brodzinski. I mean that kid, that guy
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: can play for a few more years. And he's been
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: an accid to the Rangers, probably their most valuable ranger
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: this year, and.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Well, the most viable ranger is still either Stirkin or
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I mean they both played. Even though I know perin
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: production dropped a little bit, he was still terrific for them.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And you know, I signed Alexey Lafreniere to the big
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: contract in his first year. He signs a contract he's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: not good. So I don't know. I have no idea
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: what they're gonna do. Going from one hundred and fourteen
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: points to seventy nine right now with a week to go.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Alex from Stanley Cup contender to out of the playoffs
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and badly out of the playoffs. I mean, they just
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: didn't play well. It's something I would have not figured
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: when we started NHL seeds.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And the trades they made and just like not worked out. Meanwhile,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: you look at Coco, he's kind of thriving. Heto's been
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a little banged up where he's at, and Trouba has
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: been actually a little under the radar. I haven't heard
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: much about him since he got traded. But they all
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: seem to be doing a little better than on the Rangers,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: am I right?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, I think the Mighty Ducks are right there
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: with the Rangers as far as a point total, and
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: they're a team on the colm look out for the
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Mighty Ducks. We don't know. They're all a bunch of
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: young guys, and Jacob Trueber, being a veteran guy, is
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: not gonna hurt that, you know. He'll he'll make them
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: toe the line as they get as they get better.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: But it's just been a it's been one of the
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: worst years in range of history.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Really, And you know what, I also feel like there's
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: not a spring that has gone by and almost all
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: my lifetime that there isn't a Ranger hockey game in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the middle of May. I mean, it just always seems
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to be a tradition. So it's gonna be weird.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: One Cup since nineteen forty Alex not good enough.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Oh and they keep from the revolving door of coaches.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And I think about what you say about football. You
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to have too many coaches coach a football
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: team in as many years. Well, the Rangers are gonna
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: have another coach, most likely in a span of four
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: or five years. That's not good either, Louis.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: It's not good. Divin't had as many coaches as the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Giants have had since since Coughlin is retired or been
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: was for a style. No, you are correct, you gotta
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: have some stability. But this is this is a problem
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: with a franchise. I did not see coming. I did
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: not see the Rangers falling apart like they did.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: No way we see a Tortorella reunion.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Though, right, No, no way, no way, no way, there
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: is no way that is happening.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I love them Brooksy towards back and forth. I missed those.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: They were classic. They were classic, no question about it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: And uh, the Rangers are two points away from elimination.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: The Islanders are two points away from elimination. Let's face
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: if they were a bubble team coming into the season.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: They've had major injuries to Matthew Barzel, Simeon Varlamov, their
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: backup goalie got hurt on a Black Friday, and uh, though,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and Anthony Deuclaire, who obviously now they sent home, miss
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: twenty nine games. Uh, but the volom Off injury and
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: the bars Ell injury killed them because Sorocans had to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: play more games. And Marcus Marcus Hogeberg is not an
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: NHL backup goalie. So what's gonna happen with them? I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: don't know. I do not know what's gonna happen.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I really, I know we're talking about Ovechkin, but speaking
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of Sorokan also a guy that handled it with a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: lot of class and actually gave him the stick that
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: he gave up the goal with. I thought that was
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: a pretty great move right there.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Well, again, if if Russia is allowed to play in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the Olympics next year, Ovechkin and Sorokian could be teammates
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: on the Russian Olympic team. But yes, that that was
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: a class move. Sorokan was is that best player Bohorwarth
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: had had a good year. Uh, they got to you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: restricted phrasing is no is no adopts spectacularly last year.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: But Alex their roster is not good enough. And when
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you have the thirty first rank paddell play in the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: league and you're the kill is nothing special. You're gonna lose.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna win.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be a tough
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: kind of spring if our teams don't make it in.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: So there's that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: But one thing, what there is one team that's gonna
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: be in the playoffs. They just need i think at
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: one point to get in. The Devils. We played a
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: great game on Saturday. But the Devil's problem is what
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: we saw last night. They played a Brewing team that
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: had just was ten or oh they won that last
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: game the Bruins to snap that streak. With a chance
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to put the playoffs away, the Devils came up with
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a horrendous effort. Uh. Jacob marsh and the goaltender was terrible.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: They lose seven to two, coming off to that great
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: suffocation of the Rangers, bad bad sign. I don't know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: as I said, how far they're gonna go in playoffs
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: without Jack Hughes, without dou Wie Hamilton, without Siegan Thaler.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough. I don't know if this team
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: has the mental maturity that for Stanley Cup run. So
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: we'll see.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: We'll have to see, all right. I want to stick
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in Madson Square Garden because obviously the other team and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: it had a very brutal overtime loss to the Celtics
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Celtics.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You know, they've made some records this year. No one's
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: really talking about. I think the most threes, if I'm
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, so some historic moments. I have some Boston
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: fans that are posting all about it, so that's how
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I know. But but the Knicks going to the playoffs
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and what.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Are we looking at.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Let's see, they are gonna be the three and they'll
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: probably play the sixth. That could be Detroit, could be Milwaukee.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: We won't know until, you know, until a Sunday Sunday night.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So it's amazing that those little bad stretches the Knicks
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: did have have not really affected them as far as
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: getting a low seating, then.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Right, they have not. It has not affected this seat.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: You are you're you are correct.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: And there are some tough stretches this year, yeah, no,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: there are in the rank and and the Knicks are
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: what all in ten against the Celtics, the Cavaliers, the
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma City Thunder.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I think the Knicks will win their first round. Still,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I think they will, but let's see who they play first.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I can't see the Knicks. I know, regular season and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: playoffs don't mean anything. I remember. I remember back in
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the ninety three to ninety four season when I was
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: with the Nets, we beat the Knicks four out of five.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: We play him in the playoffs, so we lost three
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: games to one, so it's a different animal. I just
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: can't see. Even if the Knickts win the first round,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: which I think they will, I can't see them beating
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: the Celtics four out of seven. I can't unless unless
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Tatum has an injury, or Porzingis, who was great last night,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: has an injury, or Jaylen Brown I know he has
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: some knee issues. If that becomes an issue, I can't
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: see the next getting by the second round, but that
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: you know, as we get closer to next week, we
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: will we value with the situation.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: We will. But I still say Town's best acquisition for
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Leon Rose in a little while. I think he's added
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to this team and you know, Josh Jalen still doing
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: their thing, although Jalen's hurt, that's true, So a lot
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: to think about it. And is Jailing going to be
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like he will be, right he.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Played twenty two minutes for the Celtic's last night. I'm
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: sure they're resting him and I'm sure and you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I remember the one thing about the playoffs, you don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: play back to back. And the thing is Brunson comes
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: back from five weeks off and looks as great as
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: any superstar might be. And make no mistake about it,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: he is a superstar, and offensively it's really tough to handle. Defensively,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: he has his shortcomings, but so does Towns. But again,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: let's see what happens. We'll reevaluate when it's seating come out.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I just think it's gonna be very difficult for the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: next to beat to win four out of seven against Boston.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm not getting paid to say this, but the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Roommates they have a show called The Roommates Show. They're
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: gonna be at Peer seventeen, right across from my studio.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So maybe I'll go try and meet him on Tuesday night.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: How cool would that be?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Him and Jalen josh Hart are going to be at
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the South Street Seaport.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That podcast they have has been pretty successful, oh man, and.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It drew a crowd at Central Park in September, so
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're gonna have the same kind of track
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: record this time around as well. All right, and they
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: actually have Anthony Volpi, which is my next transition to baseball,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: because three straight homers off Nesser, everybody thought the Yanks
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: are back, and yet they've won two series and lost
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: two series and of trying to avoid a sweep. The
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yanks need more pieces. I don't know how many times
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you able to see it before you have to realize
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they need more pieces to be successful this year.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, obviously I got off to that hot
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: start and everybody the Torpedo bats again. We have we
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: have to see what happens with with those torpedo bats,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: but still you got to hit the baseball. And the
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: weather has been so frigid, you know, for both the
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Mets and the Yankees in the games that they've been
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: playing this week. Again, I don't think it's time to panic.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that they'll try to add a piece or two.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe when Stanton comes back, maybe he'll spark some life
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: into them. I don't know, because the guy's always hurt.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, obviously, last couple of days in
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Detroit they scored a total one run. You know that
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that's not going to win many games. But the Yankees
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: have a good lineup, they have a good team, and again, uh,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the American League is forgiving. They'll they'll be in it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: They'll be in it. They can, they can take care
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: of any slump set they were in and they around.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: The series stretch is the Diamondbacks and they're going to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: be a threat in the National League once again. Am
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I right? I think they will be, no question.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: No question. And Alex, last week you're wondering when when
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers are gonna lose their first game. So the
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Dodgers were eight er and then they've lost four out
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: of five so as I said to you, even the
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: great teams are gonna lose sixty games.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: About oh, and I mean, look, it's gonna happen.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Are the Nationals back, I don't know for sure, but
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: it was an impressive series against the Dodgers, though, sure,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I mean we.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Were they won in seven or two win seven, and
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: they beat the Dodgers back to back. It is impressive.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, there's that. And I think the torpedo bat,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: which was approved by Rob Manford, by the way, that
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: talk is kind of died down a little bit, and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: just because it's it's an accepted thing, all right. The
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: other thing about this whole baseball season is still that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the razor in steinbern Er Field, and you watch those games,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of weird that two of our major
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: league teams are in these minor leagues. You've got the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: A's and Sacramento and you've got the Raise. Is this
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: a baseball problem or an ownership problem? But they've been
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: trying to get a field in Tampa forever.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a baseball problem. I think it's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: a it's a political problem. I think it's a political problem. Well,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: let's look at Oakland real quick. Oakland has lost the Raiders,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: they've lost the A's, And yeah, you could say they
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: lost they lost the Warriors, but the Warriors went just
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: went to the other part of town or across the bridge.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Same thing, like the Nets moving from the Meadowlands ten
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: twelve miles to Brooklyn. Yes, they're in different jurisdictions, but
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: this is a political problem, it's not an ownership problem.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: And I could tell you one thing. Steinbrander Field is
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: much better than the Stayme that the A's are playing in.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: At least, while it's small, Steinbranner Field looks classy, looks
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: like it looks has some Major league attributes to it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Uh Suitter Park, UH does not. And I watched a
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: couple of games parts a couple of games uh in Oakland,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and the Met's are gonna be in Sacramento to play
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Oakland this weekend, so everybody in New yorkan see, yeah
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: they they it's okay, but it's not as nice as
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: starburn A Field. I don't know what's gonna happen to
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. I don't know if they're gonna build a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: stadium there, if they're gonna move. Apparently the stadium site
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: for Saint Petersburgh is not gonna happen. Uh. That that
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: that's a problem for Majors League baseball, and that's Sanford
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: won't expand until until the Oakland situation, which we know
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: always going to looks like it's gonna be in Vegas.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Looks like there's gonna be no issue there. But then
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: with the Tampa Bay problem and then Alex I'm gonna
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: make my prediction that's when you're gonna see radical realignment,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: which I am against. That's where you're gonna see the
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: break up of the American and National leagues, which is terrible.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I know you've been saying Manfred has been kind of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: gunning for that, and that's cure when they when both
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: leagues have DH that was kind of a move and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: then everybody's playing interleague. It's just it's too much of
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a schmazzle. As they would say, it's.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Too much of a smuzzle.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I agree, My dad would say that. So,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been a it's been a weird start
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to Major League baseball. I mean, the Yanks somehow are
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: still on top by or you know, in the top
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: of the East right now by only half a game. Oh,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the Vlad extension Now, fourteen years is a lot to
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: put on a guy. I mean, what are they really invested, Like,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: do they really think he can go fourteen years and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: bring him a championship. That's quite an investment for the guy.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's in his mid twenties. He's coming off his
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: best average year last year. I think he hit three
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: twenty three. I'm glad. I'm glad that he's sawing with
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Toronto because every rumor was all the met's gone away
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: from the next year and they let Alfonso go. Alex
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Guerrero Junior was way overweight last year and he's lost
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: some weight. He still looks out of shape to me.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know how dedicated he is. So Toronto tried
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: to get a couple of guys. They tried to get Alonzo,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: they tried to get o' tawi, they tried to get
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: even Solo. I think they were in on it for
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: a while. So they were desperate. Fourteen years for a
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: guy who I hope is dedicated to his craft. It's risky,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: but that's that's the stakes nowadays and in baseball.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So I watch about your favorite memory of j D
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and Sam John Davidson and Sam Rosen in the booth
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: tonight one more time. I mean, I just want to
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: hear Sam go it's a power play goal and JD go,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: oh baby, you know, one more time?
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Do it?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: One more time?
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Louis right? Well again. John Davidson, who played hockey actually
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: got to the finals with the Rangers in seventy nine,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: is in the Hockey Hall of Fame, not as a
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: hockey player, as a broadcaster. Outstanding broadcaster on both a
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: local and national level. I am surprised considering that he's
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a senior advisor for the Columbus Blue Jackets, that that
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: he's allowed to do this. Would he used to be
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: GM of them? I'm not mistaken, and he right and
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: he was, and also he was Jam of the Rangers.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he'll be good to hear him tonight. Sam
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Rosan also in NHL Hall of Fame, deservingly so great
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: hockey broadcaster. Yeah, it'll be. It'll be nice to nice
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: to hear them again. It will be. And the two
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: great broadcasters are obviously two great friends. And it's just
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: a shame that the Rangers are giving Sam Rose in
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: such a bad season and go out on what to.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Send up almost like you should come back and do
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: it again next year. But you know one last thing
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: before I let you go. Ray Shierro, who was gym
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: of the Devils and Penguins, you were involved in that
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: whole Metal Ends era. Did you have any run ins
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: with Raciero? Was he there during your time?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I did not when I was there Lulamarello as a
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: general manager. Ray Shiro, son of a very famous head
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: coach for the Philadelphia Flies when they won back to
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: back titles in seventy four to seventy five. Fred Chiro
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: first expansion team to win a Cup in in seventy
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: three seventy four when they beat when they upset the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Bruins four games two. The next year they beat Buffalo
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: four games to two. Then they actually made the They
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: made the Stanley Cup Final again in seventy five seventy
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: six with Fred Schiro, but they lost to the Canadians
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: and fourth straight great team. Great coach became a Ranger
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: coach and was the coach of the Davidson goaltender contending
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: team that lost in the finals to the Montreal Canadians,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: and a Ratio was his was his son, so a
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: great hockey family, and it's a shame that he died
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: at such a young age, at sixty two.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Well, no one can never forget the Broadstreet bullies. So
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you're saying he was coach of the broad Street Bullies, then.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: He was a coach of the broad Street foot bullies.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: He encouraged the balls, broad Street broke bullies. If anybody
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: thinks that what they see now is dirty, and I
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: don't care who it is that you think it's a
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: dirty play, whether it's a Tom Wilson or a Rempy
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: throwing her low, that's nothing. What we saw in the
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: sixties and seventies, Alex, there were nobody that were dirtier
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: than the Broad Street bullies. They were. They intimidated you,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: They intimidated guys. I mean it was unbelievable. Remember in
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: those days they let you can clear the benches in
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a brawl, and that's what led to a big rule
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: change that no more cleaning of the benches. They were dirty.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Bob Kelly, Dave Schultz, we can go right down the
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: line with that. Roston.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I never forget the highlights of
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the Boston and Rangers duking it out of the garden
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in the seats. But the that was something else with the.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: December twenty third, nineteen seventy nine, yours truly was there
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and you went to all right.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Well, and by the way I read the other the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: slap shots, there was a lot of scenes that were
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: not rehearsed. That was just the handsome brothers being the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: handsome brothers.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Well, that's that movie slap shot in the sixties and seventies. Yeah,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the NHL is pretty close to that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: That is crazy, But all right, my favorite scene from
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that real quick on Terminalo's take is when Newman shoots
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and hits the organists in the head as he's doing
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: That was the best scene for me.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: That's that's a good one. But I mean, that's that's
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: really what the NHL was a little bit alike. There's
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: no doubt about it.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: And I know fans wanted to go back to that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I think they and I even I see it. When
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the fight's about to start, the ref jumps in almost
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: immediately half the time I noticed.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: So. Well again, before we why no, we have to
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: wrap this up, but before we go. Last week there
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: was a fight between Carolina and I can't recall who,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: and one of the players was thrown to the ice
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and almost hit his head on the ice. That can't happen.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: And it happened the same the next night in another
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: game where a guy was thrown to the eyes. The
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: NHL obviously doesn't want to see somebody die in the ice,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: but if they allow stuff like that to happen, you're
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: gonna see death on the eyes. You hit your head
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: on that, on that, on that ice, service, you're done.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: There's also and I think we've talked about this before,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: there's also this idea that players respect each other's bodies now,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: meaning they know these bodies are worth so much money,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: so they're not gonna beat them up entirely anymore. And
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it's sort of like a unwritten rule. It seems like
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that they're not gonna truly beat up anybody like they
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: used to because of the monetary value of their their
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: bodies right now.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Well, of course, these guys are making more money. They
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: don't make as much money as teams in other sports.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: But you have that, you have the safety issue. Alex
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: guys guys did stuff that thin get in the old days.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: And it's close to the NBA too, that they didn't
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: even get thrown out of the game or they didn't
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: get suspended. You know, with some of the things that
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Rempe had this year, Alex in the seventies, he wouldn't
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: even been he wouldn't have been suspended at all. How about.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Game for ten minutes just for yelling at the ref.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that was pretty soft on the ref.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I wonder what he said to him.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Lous, we went a little bit all over, but
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that's okay because we haven't really done a deep dive
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: on a lot of this stuff, so I'm glad we
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: did that and Johnny throughout the first pitch. I think
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: they were honored at City Field today, so I got
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: to wrap up. They rather Rick Petito on that first
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: pitch with Saint John's alum Johnny Franco catching it.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, boy, Johnny Franco is probably one of the more
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: prominent Saint Saint John alum's, that's for sure.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: No apparently wears his heart on the sleeve when it
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: comes to Saint John's.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Yes it does. And for the Metsies because Saint John's.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Here, Lou, always a pleasure. We'll talk to you soon
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: on Tormalo's take.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Alex,
