• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Nine times, nine times, nine times nine times.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: How's that for Game one, fourteen different goal scorers, most fourteen.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: What did I tell you out of fifteen goals scored?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: What did I tell you about the King series and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: about what this series was going to be? Like? What
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: did I tell you?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Ah, you said they'd be different, but nobody expected this.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: But man, actually, Moser said he thinks fifteen goals a
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: night is gonna be.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Moser said, going into this series, guys, that's going to
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: take nine goals to win each game.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We actually it only took seven last night, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: they got nine. You know what.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You know that shows me that was that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Was more than my little old mosh heart could take almost.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: You know what, It proves to me how little the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: La Kings did to try to play hockey. It shows
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: to me that the La King series and that that
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: whole approach, What do we do?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Why are we wasting our time doing that?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: What is that compared to what we saw last night?
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I really like, in the middle of that game, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: was having so much fun and I'm like, God, I'm
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: so glad it's not another King's type of series where
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: it's just boring borathon. And then I thought to myself,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: this is tough. It's just too much, way too much.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Wait wait, I mean not find a happy medium.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: It's like going from church to a raging party of lunacy, like.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: An ecstasy ed M party.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: You're just like, just got.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Out of church. That was you know, we got through it,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and now we're raging all night.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: See. I don't I would have no clue what an
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: ecstasy EDIM.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'm only guessing that there's freaks on whatever, spinning around
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: with lightsabers.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: One of those one of those parties with gloves sticks,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and everybody's a sucker in their mouth.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Those things in their mouths.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But you know about that. I just it was too much.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: It was way too much. And I think it's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: combination of factors.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think the long break helped in this sense,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Like I think that's a part of it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: The other part is most.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I think when you get boxed in for four straight
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: games against LA and you finally have a game where
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: everything opens up and you see all your buddy scoring goals,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you want to jump in on a play, but you
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: aren't very disciplined on defense. I think that not having
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Josh Manson, then mccarr leaving for a period, then Malinsky
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: having to go down the tunnel to get stitched up
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: because he took a puck off the face. Having that
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: inconsistency for your d pairs that didn't help anything either.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: There's just a lot of things that kind of bowl
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: together in this. But the great news is, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: to go back to something we mentioned a lot in
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: that opening series against La Mos, how you want to play.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so however you want to.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Play, they can beat you. Yeah, they can beat you.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I talked to Marty Natures after the game and he said, look,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: we know we can score goals. Okay, He's like, but
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: we do have to take care of our own end better. Yeah,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And Jared Bednor made that same claim, and by the way,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: so did John Hines. On the Minnesota side. Bednor said, look,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we don't even need to practice. We don't need to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: get out there on the ice to get the point
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: across what we need to do. He's like, our guys know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it's just a matter of going over some things today.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He's like, these are easily correctable. Well, Minnesota said the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: same thing. They think their issues last night are easily correctible.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: But again, Minnesota did not see this kind of attack
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: from Dallas, and certainly the Avs did not see this
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: kind of attack and high end talent from the Los
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Angeles King. So we'll see how teams are just going
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: forward here. But what a hell of a way to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: kick off Round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Man, that was crazy, Hey, Bennar, how do you explain that?
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: How do you explain what just happened?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I cannot.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if you scripted that one, then, like,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you do.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't explain it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was crazy. But I'll tell you
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: what I saw. Darren Pang Subpanger between the second and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: third periods and it's five to five at that point,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he goes, good, God, it looks like me against the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Nordiaks back back in the day. I'm like, yeah, because
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, look the NHL back in the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: eight he's kind of wide open hockey, right, and he
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: wasn't the biggest goalie.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He's these guys.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, now, guys, I mean this Valsett dude.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He's six to three and like two thirty two twenty five,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: two thirty, moves like the wind. He's still a really
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: good goalie. They just they got to him pretty good.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't see at Celebrate last.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Night, not last night. He did not, No, you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and Weggie didn't either. Yeah, that's one of those things
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: where the goalies weren't great, but the guys in front
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: of him playing d also were far from great. So heck, man,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: what a crazy game. I mean, what a crazy, crazy game.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: It's a reset game because I doubt you'll see something
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: like that again.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You're you're one hundred percent correct you won't.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: And both coaches, even coach Badnar afterwards, I'm sure he
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: had a lot to say to his team. I mean,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: it's fun to be in the wide open in the
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: wilderness like that, but as a coach, you're probably pulling
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: your hair out.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I would think. So both coaches presented very very calm
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and like, you know, there are some things I really
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: really liked in that game. Obviously, we need to clean
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: some things up. Even John Hines in the losing effort, yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: did the same kind of thing. But deep down they've
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: got to be like, dudes, we cannot open it up
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: like this, we can't do it like this.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I heard Kantry say something in the post game.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: He was in the locker room about Volstead.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: And.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: It was he hinted it like he's got a weakness.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: And here's what he Here's what he said.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: I feel like I was in a pretty good scoring area,
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: Ross spinning a nice past the springway on the half breakaway,
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: and you know, I've been watching a lot of this goaltender,
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: so just pick my spot in that. Definitely definitely picked
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: it properly.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: So what is it?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He said later? I think it was low glove is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: what he said, Like low glove side.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: That's fine, but they also beat him blocker side and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: side I meant.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Just for the record, that was courtesy of d n
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: VR audio.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: But it's it's one of those things where, hey man,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: sometimes the puck goes in for you, Like Kadrick could
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: have that that half breakaway at baby breakaway, you know
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ten times and eight times he's gonna shoot it wide
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: or you know whatever. The key stick. Yeah, but I
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: will say this, he comes down that side, Malinsky scores
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: on that side and call mccarrs scored twice that way,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, coming down into that circle
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and blam. Now again you got to keep him guessing
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: because some were across the body some were right here.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just different areas that I mean.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: First of all, I forgot the blank Blankenberg. Yep, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: forgot that he played for the Avalanche until I saw
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: him streaking down the left side.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: What a plate?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: What he's passed? Well, he almost scored in the first
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: What a pass? First of all, First of.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: All, he's a great dude, not the biggest guy in
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the world. But one thing he can do what makes
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: him a good defenseman is he skates very beautifully. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: when he gets the puck on his stick, it's a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: lot like the Sami. Get the puck on your stick
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and get it out of the zone, period, end of story.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: You know, there's yeah, there's no goofing around with it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It's all around with it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It's on your stick and it's out of this He's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: not even as big as seem me by the way.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: It's on your stick and it's out of the zone.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: That's And then when you're for smaller defensemen, they've got
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to rely on their positioning and their stick. My favor,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: because they're not going to body anybody up.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Was the celebration where he tried to stick himself up
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: on the glass like flight paper. Yeah, that was awesome.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: It was those things.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just jumped up there a stick here for
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Well, take your choice. You had eight other goals to
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: choose from which we're all cool. Like the the one
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: thing that is so abundantly clear. And I said this
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: after the series was done. I said it in the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: middle of the series. When you played against LA, I
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: gave LA a ton of credit because it feels like
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: that's as good as they could play. The way they
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: played against the Abs was as good as they could play.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: This team is so much more talented and we knew
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: that going into this, but god, did you see it
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: last night? Even you know, the the obvious ones here,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: you're Hughes and Boldies and.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: The Priesofts and guys like that. The goal of Tarasenko
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: scored was sick.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I was I mean to go back and at the
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: last second give it a tap to get it by Wedgwood.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw a lot of people online calling
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it the Forsburg Mm hmm. That's because Peter Forsburg scored
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: that way in the Olympics in ninety two.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Lila Swedish postage stamp.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Here's what's funny though motion, and we'll get into like
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the sort of the nitty gritty details of all of
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: this stuff funny haha, funny or funny, weird, funny, weird funny.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give them a technicality on this because it
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: was right after the two minutes was done. There were
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: two for two on the power play. But when you
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: give up a short handed goal, Like, how do you
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: evaluate that one?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: What the hell happened there?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Like technically Tave scored It was what like two seconds
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: after the power play was done.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm counting it. That's two for two on the power play.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Just they gave up a short did just skip past Nate?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And it did? And you've got I call well. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: called McCarron the motor home. It's probably disrespectful, probably, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the Fellino brothers, you know what came to mind? VIC
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: don't get mad? You ever see Ghostbusters Part two?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: No?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Then you wouldn't get it. Never mind.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I don't watch cartoons.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: You ever seen Ghostbusters Part two? Now?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: They nailed it with the first part. I stopped after that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: There's so many movies. You're all jackasses. I don't even
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: want to talk about it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: You know, no, no, I don't like how the Fellinos
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: just have dyslexic numbers to each other.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It's hard for me to.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Tell seventeen seventy one.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to tell.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Well, of course their old man was. It was a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: terrific player, was an assistant coach here with the Avs.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: They won. So it's like.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Most off for one.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Just but hang on one second. What do I do
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: with the power play that I consider there two for two?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: But they give up a short explain.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It's that drop past high in the zone that drives
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: me crazy sometimes, and that's what it did. It skip
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: by McKinnon and.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Then as somebody's bearing down to create pressure, it gives
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: them easy break.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And let me let me give Felino a little bit
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: of credit here, because if he's not reading that play
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and jumping it, then there is no breakaway because he
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: is a he's a motor home. He's not He's not
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: a ferrari Ya dude. He's a big old wine bago
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: who when that momentum gets going, man, you can plow
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: through things. And by the way, I did not know he.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I thought maybe Marcus.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Would have that kind of I did not know your game. Wait,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: which Felino hit Macar.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: That was Nick.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Nick scored Mark Marcus Marcus scored Nick hit Macar.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: That is correct, all right, and I have one Marcus scored.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Marcus scored Nick hit mccar. Good guy, the fellinda
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: seventy ones.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Man, this is nothing necessary and out of their gear.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: By the way they look, they don't. They don't look
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the same, so that you'll tell them a part easy
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: that way.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: One source where the AVS can readily improve. In my mind,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: and I think you'll agree with me, having Josh Manson
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: out of the lineup leaves this void. There's not enough
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: hitting from the avalanche. They did it though against La
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: with this there's not enough. There was too much. Well
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: it looked at times a bit soft.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Let me put this way. They out hit the wild
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: last night twenty six to twenty four. But and what
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the king said, what fifty hits in one game? Fifty
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: two or something crazy. But you're talking about the impact
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: of the hits. Yes, the bangity bang blowy up, he
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: smoking metal m kaboom kaboom.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: There really wasn't last night where the crowd went ooh, well,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: there was in the car, there was there was that
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: one you know, and then Catery blew up yuah, he
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: did blew up middle to right on the mortal zone.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Yep, he blew him up right at the red line
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: and knocked him in mid air, but then he got
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: tripped otherwise. Then was an icy call in the abs.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, you got to be kidding.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Me, you know.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Even even coach Bednar said it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: We were soft in many ways, in many areas, and
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: I would have to agree, yep, all right, I do
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: you agree with me?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Or I don't know why I don't. The hits were
• 14:21

  Speaker 2: Okay, alright, I'm gonna call JML is awake right now?
• 15:31

• 15:59
  Speaker 4: of the year. A lot happening in that game last night,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: but the Avs do take a one zero lead.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I do think some of this mos and I don't
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: know if they're willing to admit it. I think some
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of it's rusted.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I think some of it's you were off a long
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: time in between games, so that's probably an aspect of this.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: But I will say this, when the schedule got released,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: because we didn't know when the game was going to
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: be played heading in the weekend, and I saw that
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: it was going to be on Sunday, I.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Was like, great, that's what I wanted.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I needed something this weekend to wash the Nuggets' awfulness out.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad the game was played on Sunday. But
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: then I looked at the rest of the schedule.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Has there ever been Sunday, Tuesday, Saturday, Not that I recall,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: But there's long of a break with No.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Two and three. But there's a reason for it. It's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: because the Minnesota Frost have the built the PWHL has
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: a game on Thursday.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It's the playoffs.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: It's the play offs. I don't know if I don't know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: if they couldn't switch the game or just move move
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: their game, yes, hang on, it's the playoffs.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Just just move their damn game.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: The Minnesota Frost have a game that night.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Which night is it? Friday?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Thursday?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So why don't they play Friday?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Because now you're getting into TV because the ESPN or
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: T and T whomever wants this game on the Saturday,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: The league wants this game on the say.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: So listen, I don't know, just silly move the p
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: w h L game. Okay, just say sorry. It's this
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: happens during the Nuggets had to Memphis.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: My bad. But the thing is is that I'm sure
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Look if I was the wild I'd say this, Oh
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: we can't. Oh yeah, Look they're missing Eric Kanneck and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Prodein right now. They're like they're probably like, oh, that's just.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Moves the benefit of you getting that extra rest, because
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I agree, man, dial one eight hundred Bettman, what do
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: you want me to say?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Stupid?
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I do think part of that was they were
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: off for a while and somebody says, come on, guys,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: the p w h L is great. It's not that
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: it's not great or anything like that. It's that it's
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: the Stanley Cup Playoffs. You can't have a four day
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: break in between games.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I don't care how great it is. One takes precedence
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: over the other.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: So we get Johnny on the horn here on the
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Ramos Law hot Line car accident. You need Ramos Law
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: medical doctor and attorney ramas Law dot com.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: John Michael Ales, what's.
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: Up, buddy? Not much? How are we doing?
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Why are you laughing at it?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Why are you starting the show just laughing?
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Because I've been listening to the show.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: You think about the schedule, then, I mean, what are
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: your thoughts on not playing for like eight months between games?
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: I think it's a unique uh thing in the schedule.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: And I mean, listen, if if, if Josh Manson's able
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: to come back on Saturday, I'm all for it. Okay,
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: that's what I'll say. But it can benefit Minnesota too.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: So I haven't seen a break like this in the
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: playoffs Bookfore, I.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Will say that it just doesn't happenter. You said something
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: last night in the postgame show. I wanted to ask
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: you because watching that first game gave me a new
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: If I didn't already.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Have respect for Hughes.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I saw it in the Olympics obviously, Yeah, but last night, my.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Goodness, that kid can play. That kid can skate.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: And you were asked several times last night how do
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: you stop him? And you said, make him defend, which
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: sounds easier said than done. How do you make him
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: defend besides just going right at him all game?
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, listen, they're gonna try and go right
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: at him. But he's such a good skater. I mean
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: I was I think more impressed last night with him
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: in Faber and the way that they are able to
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: like the edgework from both of those guys, I mean,
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: it's another level. And we talk about Cale mccarr in
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: the way he's able to do that all the time,
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: but the way that those two were able to dance
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: away from hits and you know, control the puck, make
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: passes that just don't seem like they're there. You know
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: that that defensive pairing is right up there with mccarr
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: and Caves in terms of, uh, you know, the top
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: top pairing in the league. But to make Quinn Hughes defense,
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: I go, I go back to mccarr's second goal, and
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: I just what happened. It's a set breakout in the
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: Absen and Caylee mccarr recognizes lecanons at the far blue
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: line posted up on Quinn Hughes, and so he sends
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: the stretch pass to the far blue line and Lecanon
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: doesn't give up the puck. He he makes Quinn Hughes defense.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: So Quinn Hughes is on him, and he says, you
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: know what, I protect the puck better than you defend.
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: And he protected the puck and he brought it down
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: into the corner and Quinn Hughes is on him, but
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: he's playing zone defense, if you will, right, Like it's
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's he's in between Lecan and the nets,
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: but it's it's, uh, he's not He's not out muscling
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: ar Cherry Lecan. And so what happens is then the
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: Abs get into a cycle and the puck goes around
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: and gets the kale and he, I mean, it's a
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: beautiful shot. But who's the guy that gets to the
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: front of the net. It's our Cherry Lakinhon and he's
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: the screen and Quinn Hughes is a half step late.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: So not only do you quick up, it make him defend,
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: like he's playing thirty plus minutes a night, right, Like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's he's got you know, he's got some
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: lungs that not a lot of players have. But making
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: him defend is where that's where you wear him down
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: when he doesn't have the puck on his stick. And
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: I thought that play in particular was a really good
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: example of it. Now, that guy, you know, Quinn Hughes,
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: has the puck on his stick more than anybody in
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: the NHL. It's I mean, it's a fact that the
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: numbers support it, and so it's it's not always easy
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: to do that, but when you when you are able
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: to do it, it can take a toll.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, Johnny, a couple things. You know, Faber had fifty
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: one points in the regular season, and he's only twenty three.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: He's really really good. And if the defenseman has fifty
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: one points, you're like, damn, that's a really good season.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I don't like his photo, by the way, where he's
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: got the secret squirrel glasses.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you look, he looks just kind of like
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: a nerd, no doubt about it. But that being said
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Johnny from the get go. Last night, when I looked
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: up Faber Faber's the one deep in the zone. I mean,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: he's he's below the goal line and he's battling for
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: pucks along the end boards, and I'm going, the hell's
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: he doing down here? Well that what that means is
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that obviously he's got great support not only from his
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: partner in Hughes, but but a forward, but that he's
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: got the full green light. They both do from from
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: hinds at any time.
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah. And I think I mean, if you look at
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: you know, Devontes and Tale mccarr and the way they operate,
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: I mean, how many times during the regular season do
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: we say, you know, mccarr's got the puck at the
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: point right and is in front, screening or kicking?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: What the hell? Yeah, you're going to You're going where
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you should go?
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And and and part of that is, you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: I think there's so many eyes and and there's there's
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: just you know, I don't want to call it polar,
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: but when Quinn Hughes has the puck, there's five guys
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: on the other team that are like, oh, oh no,
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: what is he going to do? And so Faber realizes that,
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: and I think he jumps in. I think, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: Davontes does this so effectively as well, and brought favor
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: to me like I I you know, you know that
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: he's good. I thought at the Olympics he was unbelievable.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: And since he came back from the Olympics, like in
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: that Dallas series he had six points. I think he
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: had three goals, three assists, Like he was really really good,
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: and now all of a sudden you have to deal
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: with two, which is what so many teams that play
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: the Avs. You know, Davonte's I would say, had a
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: little bit of a down year offensively, but now has
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: he picked it up in the playoffs. Absolutely had a
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: great first round series. You know, four points last night.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: I just those when you have a deep pairing, not
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: just an individual defenseman, when you have a mccar or
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: at Hughes, but when you have a deep pairing where
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: both guys are very dangerous offensively with the puck, but
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: also very good defensively. I mean, and that's not something
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: that most teams have. You know, you'll have that offensive defenseman,
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: a lot of times they're pairing them up with a
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: stay at home, shutdown guy, whereas you know aves in
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: the wild have you know, top pairings that can move
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: the puck, can jump into the play, can score, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: they can also defend. It's it's a fun, unique matchup
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: to see. And yeah, I've been really impressed with Brock Faber.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: For as much as you know, as much as we
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: hear about Quinn Hughes, I think Brock favor is is
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: he's he's elevated his game and most you said at
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: twenty three years old, like that's that's impressive. And you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: I mean if you we talked about this before the game,
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: like if you're the LA Kings and you could go
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: back in time, do you.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Would you do the Yeah? Would you do that deal?
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: Favor deal? Yeah?
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Faber was the second round pick too. He's forty fifth overall.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: They ended up trading him to Minnesota his rights because
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: he was he was at University of Minnesota.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: But he's a maple growth kid. I mean, he's a
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: homegrown dude.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: They trade him to the Wild for Fiela, who's a
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: terrific player for don't get me wrong. I mean he's
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: not he's not a world beater, but he's he's a
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: really nice hockey player. But damn, this favor is going
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to be. He's already very very very well, he's already Olympian.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, Johnny, because I was talking
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: about this with moj I know it doesn't show this
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: on the stat sheet, but it's one of those when
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: you score a couple of seconds after a power play ends,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna count.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: So there were two for two on the power play
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: last night, but they gave up a short handed goal.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: How do you evaluate that?
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: We talked about this on the post game and the
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: first power play goal where McKinnon makes that play tolec
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: and and like that's I mean, it's it's once again
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: like how lucky are we do we get to see
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: this stuff?
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: Like you get to see these plays on a nightly basis,
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: and for so much focus on the power play throughout
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: the regular season through the first round. To get the
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: big goal in Game four, you know, that's a huge
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: goal to get them off and running in this series.
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: But to me, it's made but because McKinnon was flying
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: through the neutral zone. When you enter with speed like
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: like Nathan McKinnon did it, it's a different animal when
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: you're a defenseman trying to defend that and McKinnon. You know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: he makes a move. I think he puts it under
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: Stems stick coming over the blue line, but the defenders
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: are so worried about his speed they're already backed up,
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: and so he's able to get that shot off and
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: retrieve his own rebounds. That the second power play, the
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: speed and listen, I mean like that game, I mean
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: you could tell. I told Keifer the third period, Like
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: end of the third period, there's four minutes left, there's
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: a scrum in the Minnesota wild corner that would normally
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: be a cross check fest of guys just burying each
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: other with cross checks. Guys are just leaning on each other.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: I think that game took a toll, more than people realize.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: And so in the second period, McKinnon not coming in
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: with as much speed on the entries, and I think
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: Natus as well. I think that was the difference in
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: Minnesota being able to stand up more effectively. And then
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: now all of a sudden, you're bumping back, and you're
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: bumping back in one bad bounce over McKinnon stick or
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: under McKinnon stick, and Blino's going the other way. Like
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: that was the difference. I'm you know, I'm with you.
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Kaner that that you know, you score with you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: five seconds after a power play. The guy's not even
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: in the zone.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: We always kind of lean on that as a power
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: play goal, and it was huge, and Ryker and I
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: talked about this after the game. That was maybe the
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: most crucial goal of the game for the Abs. You
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: give up a shorty and and you score the power
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: play the lead exactly after being three up, three to nothing.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: And I think I saw a stat last night. I'm
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: not one hundred percent sure it's it's accurate, but I,
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: you know, whatever else say it. I think the Aves
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: were maybe the first team ever to go up with
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: a three goal lead, give up the lead, and go
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: down and then win by three goals.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Insane.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Hand, Can I say something real quick for you to say,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I think I saw a stat last night.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's accurate, but I'm gonna say
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it anyway.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Is fitting on this show? Perfect?
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks?
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's yeah, Yeah, that's our sweet spot right there.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I pulled something right that tail, but I wouldn't
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: worry about it's probably good.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Hey, can I ask you this because when I watch
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Avalanche hockey, and I'm always you know, the way Nitches
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: skates into the zone at times backwards as if he's
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: doing a figure skating routine, and he's it's just so great.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: So it's like a mosquito hopping on a pond. You know,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: It's like, what is like if you're a defenseman, what
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: do you do there?
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: What? Wow? So I know exactly the player talking about
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: when he was skating in the third period entering the
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: zone backwards, Yes, and he was flying right. And we
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: always talk about Marty nachous and is skating and I
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: mean it's yeah, it's it's it's it's like poetic when
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: you watch him, the way that he's able to move
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: around the ice when he entered the zone going backwards.
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: All I can think about was like the old Marty
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: Saint Louis penalty shop where he skated in backwards showing backhand. Yeah,
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: And I was like that. I mean, it's like it's
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: almost like as a defense when you're going I don't
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: know what to do?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: What do I do?
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: I don't Yeah, like I think he's going to do
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: something that I don't know, and so you're it's almost
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: like you can't commit because one. You know that he's
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: an amazing skater and that he can do things that
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: other guys can't. And so he's coming in backwards down
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: the wall and he's gaining speed as he's doing it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: You're trying to sit in there going huh. And and like,
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: I love Marty Nachius. I I don't know if you
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: put Marty Nachius skating backwards as a defenseman, if he
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: would skate as fast backwards as a defenseman as he
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: did with the puck on his stick entering the zone
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: like that, it just it was, it was so cool
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: to watch and there was a lot to digest in
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: that game last night. Like I I write down every
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: goal during the game in my notebook for postgame and
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: I stopped at ten because I just I couldn't write anymore.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I do know.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: It was he needs to shoot more, though, man, I mean,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: he gets into that mode where everything's pretty and on
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: a couple occasions last night, he's trying to make the
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: perfect pass. You know, I love the player, I love
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: the way he skates, but would you agree just shoot
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: the puck?
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah. And we've talked to him a few times over
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: the course of the season, especially early it felt like
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: he wasn't deferring as much and he was. He was,
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: you know, kind of taking in his own hands shooting,
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: and so yeah, I mean I do. I think in
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: the first round it seemed like he was deferring a
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: little bit too much. I mean, it's thirty eight goals
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: this year, right, so it's I think his shot is
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: better than most people realize, and it's heavier than most
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: people realize, and so yes, I would love to see
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: him shoot more and not necessarily defer as much to Nate.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: And when he is on his game, like the skating
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: seems to kind of amp up even to another level.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: And I think you can see like he's starting to
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: get there. You know, he had three assists last night.
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: A little quiet in the first round, but like he's
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: right on the verge. It feels like of something really
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: special because the skating is the first thing that takes
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: that step. And then now all of a sudden, I
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: think you're gonna see him start to shoot more and
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: if he catches fire, I mean, look out, like that's
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: it's It is scary as a defender seeing not only
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: Natch just come over the blue line at times with
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: the puck but McKinnon come over the blue line at
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: times with the puck, and then you know you got
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Lekkin and who's going to be just right on your
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: tail all night. Like It's just that's the beauty of
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: what the abs have. Like it can be wave after
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: wave if everybody is going all right.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Uh, Johnny, take us through the behind the scenes. Last night,
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Sam Malnsky eats a puck, literally eats him, I mean
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: right in the face. Head leave the game. What's going
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: on back in the locker room? How long does it take?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Did you see him afterwards? How many stitches did he take?
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: What did his face look like?
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: But what's happening in the room as the game goes on?
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're you're I mean you're right into the training
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: room and there's the there's the training room, and then
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: there's the doctor's room with the chair and they I
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: mean they're they're they're prepped and ready to go. Uh.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: As soon as you step foot in that room, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: it's you know, it's two injections or three injections usually
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: to numb the area, and then it's it's they're stitching
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: as fast as as fast as they can and when
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: you're sitting there getting your face stitch stuff like it's numbs.
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: So you feel him kind of pulling and tugging and
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: and you know, putting stuff back together. But it's like
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: it's it's like this sensation that you you know it's there,
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: but it's not there, and you know they're sitting there
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: talking to you, and I'm sure Bedsy's probably looking down
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: the tunnel going Okay, I don't you know I didn't
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: have Kale for the first period. You know, let's let's
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: let's hustle up the stitches. I mean I had a
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: coach one time. I was getting stitched up and he
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: was yelling down the hallway. We were in were it
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: was a visiting building and uh and he was yelling
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: down the hallway how long do the stitches take.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Before let you go? The reason we wanted to get
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: you on the program today, if not for any of this,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: although you've been great, Brett called you the Triple A.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I thought no, I said, all of you, okay,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought, I thought right, And Johnny Mitchell
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: and Drew Schwartz thought they were they were really good.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Now you had to host the first couple of segments
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: of this pros.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Call it Bros. But I cast an accident the pros.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But but the pros.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean I know you were nervous.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: To some nervous, I was nervous. Yeah. When the emails
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: started going around from from Matt Carole and it came out, Hey,
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: Johnny's gonna host games wanted to I was like, wait
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: what and uh and so yeah, Chiefer was standing right
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: off to the side. He was you on and just yeah,
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: well he's like, you guys don't even know you're getting
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: into You guys are gonna suck so bad. I'm gonna laugh.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: You guys think my job is so easy. And so yeah,
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: I was definitely nervous. You know, I thought I thought
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: we handled ourselves. Okay. Crozy said that, you know, it'll
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: get better, which I feel like, is, hey, it needs
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: to get better because you guys, you know, you barely
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: held it held it together. And then Keifer just couldn't,
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: you know, contain himself and had the walk on set vacuum. Yeah,
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: he just yeah, he can't stay away. So yeah, it
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: was cool. It was It was great to have Drew
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: Shore on there. We're gonna have Milan Hayduke on there
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: tomorrow night, and and that's you know, that's kind of
• 34:33

• 34:35
  Speaker 8: going on the road with moj to Minnesota. So Riker
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: is gonna host Games three and four. So if you

  Speaker 8: love car wrecks that you just turn away. I would
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: tune in taking Games three and four for Riker hosting
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: because I think it's going to be amazing.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, Johnny Heavy is the crown the driver.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I understand that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Understand it, Johnny.

  Speaker 5: You guys do the best. You're the best crew in
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: the business. This man so great job. I watch every
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: show and it's painful to watch sometimes, but I watch
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: every show.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: You know what, he didn't do.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: One of those coming Johnny here the beast sex buddy.
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: Thanks guys, appreciate it. Have a good look.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: There were a lot of people there last night. You
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: had to get loud. Did you see that postgame crowd? Yeah,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: I've seen your crowd. You have to get loud because
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: there's I mean, they're they're in there, they're having a
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: little Bruski's and they are packed. Oh I saw they
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: had Jeff Drewys gave them a guest last night.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: We got to get to a break. But Nelly mentioned
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: this earlier and he's so right about this.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: When they went from the Montreal win to the Avs game,
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: you couldn't hear the announcers at the beginning of the broadcast.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: It was like this.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: All you heard was the crowd. They were going crazy yesterday.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: So a lot more to get to here. Three oh three, five,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: four oh nine two five back after this, all right,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: get back to the game one here in just a
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: little bit. But some news from over the weekend.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Bennett Rando said that it is likely that David Adaman
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: will stay another year with the Nuggets, but everyone outside
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: of Joker is open for business across this NBA outa.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I saw Bene with that, I saw Shams with that that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Phone calls can be had on anybody not named Jokic.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: My take on that is regarding the coach, I'm sure
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: that considerations were made, conversations were had, but it doesn't
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: look good if a team parts with a coach two
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: years in a row. It just never looks good. The
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Suns did it three years in a row, the Phoenix
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: Suns sure, so it just doesn't look good to pull
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: that stunt. They probably figured and I'm just trying this
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: is me my catch. They probably figured this is the
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: same coach that breathed some life into this team last year,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: showed that he can coach in the playoffs, and this
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: year it was the exact opposite.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I think, if.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: Anything, it's ownership hinting this on the players and saying
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: we think you're coached up.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Fine, the players need to change.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: And as I told you guys after the final score
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: of Game six, everything's on the table. And I mean it,
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: so outside of Nikola Jokicic, every player is on the table.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: And would you disagree with that that rightfully?
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: So?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: No, it should be. Here's my read on it.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: I understand what you're saying about letting go of a
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: coach two consecutive years at the same time, you know
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: much in as I'm not saying that that Adalman is this,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: but if you remember when the Broncos hired Hackett, it's
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: not good business to hire a coach and fire him
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: after a year. But when you know, you know, And
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that's the case with Adelman, but I
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: think if they made the decision to move on from him,
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: I would totally understand because I do think think outside
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: of some other factors that there were weird rotational stuff
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: that I didn't agree with in the postseason, there was
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a lack of use in the depth of the team
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: that I didn't understand. But if I were to make
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: the argument for why Adaman should stay, it would sound
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: a lot like this.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: You're a year one coach.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: The expectation you have in year one is if you
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: don't win a championship, it's a failure. That's a lot
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: for a guy in his first year. Combine that with
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: the litany of injuries that you had where you could
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: not build a chemistry or consistency within your roster. That
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: makes it incredibly difficult. You get to the postseason and
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: sort of your X factor in what makes you a
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: championship level team. Aaron Gordon is once again two injured
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: to play. That's a factor. I think there's a whole
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: bunch of arguments you could make saying, hey, man, I
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: know it's not up to the standard that you wanted.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of stuff to deal with in your
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: first year.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Though, on the side, Chris Finch was dealing with a
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: lot of stuff too, and his team.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: Looked fine, yeah, listen, I could see both sides.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I could see both sides.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Now, I'll give you another example, because it was just
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: announced in Orlando Orlando Fires Jamal Moseley as their head
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: coach after the first round exit to Detroit. Detroit had
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: to come back from a three to one deficit. They
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: were in the number one seed. Orlando was the eight seed.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: I feel terrible for Jamal Mosley because what happened in
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: that series if you watch closely, Franz Wagner got hurt. Yeah,
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: did not play the last two games of that series. Otherwise,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: Orlando wins that series and Jamal Mosley is still the
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: head coach.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: They also, did you see this? This was in game six.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Forty five minutes of real time between six forty six
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: and seven to thirty one PM. Orlando Magic did not
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: make a shot.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: That's unreal. Meanwhile, in the AVS Wild series, that were.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Like eight goals scored during that time. Well, mos I
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: was Nellie. Can you throw the graphic up that I
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: just sent you because this is great. It's that Tiger
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Woods John Day picture that I love so much, where
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: John Day's just smoking a cigarette on the t box
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: with Tiger, but everybody puts their own little meme on it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I want you guys to see this because I think
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: it's a great one. The av scored nine goals yesterday.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: They gave up more goals in game one than they
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: did the entire four game series against La They were
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: only three shy of scoring as many as they did
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: against La Avalanche. Nine goals Montreal nine shots. It's Montreal
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: shot had nine shots on goal in a game seven,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: and it was enough to win. Bretch who scored the
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: game winner. Most Alex new Hook, our old boy, Alex
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: new Hook. Do yourself a favor, if you would, and
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: try to track how many shots on goal the Montreal
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: Canadians had in the second period last night.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I have no idea how find that. I don't know.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Is it zero?
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's what it is. Zero.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Sweet, And they won a game seven on the road
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: in Tampa.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were out shot twelve. They were out shot
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: nine to four in the first.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: They played that La King's Human Shield game.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Out shot twelve. Nothing in the second. They're both goals
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: were and one was off a defenseman skate in and
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: new Hook, I'll give him credit. He just whacked the
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: puck out of mid air and he did a good
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: job of v I mean, Bethlevsky saw it, but it
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: got right down and did the thing with the shin
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: pad and off the button. I mean, come on, man,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: but listen. If you're the Tampa Bay Light and you
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: get twenty nine shot, y'all shoot him twenty nine to nine,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: can get a second goal? Yeah, bro, get it. Just
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: find a way. Peter mcdelake, great Peter McNabb would always say,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: just it's just a goal. Go get a goal, you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: And and he's right about that. Oh. I got when
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Johnny was talking about the tugging and the pulling, all
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: this kind of thing. I got a great McNab story.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Feeling here. Sure they're on the road. He gets cut
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: in the head really bad. R on top of his head,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: got stick over the head cut. So he's got to
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: go off and get stitches. When he's off getting stitches,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: now he comes back and he's waiting by the door,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: the zamboni door to be let onto the ice. The
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: other team scores, so they opened the door and they
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: let him on the ice and he goes back to
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: the bench and blah blah, blah.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: The scorekeepers Vic.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: The scorekeepers think he's on the ice, so they give
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: him a minus and Don sure he goes, and so
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: this is yeah. And by the way, I mean, Dad,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: where the hell were you on that place? I didn't
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: even argue he goes like, he goes. I didn't in
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: the tunnel right while I was in the doctor's office
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: getting my head stitched up. But they gave him a minus.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: And the coaches obviously, you know, Don's look.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: At his looking at it all right, So STERI, So
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: back to the Nuggets, because that's how we open this segment.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: I need to ask you guys, Okay, I mean we
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: did started talking about the Nuggets, and I need to.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: There's a little attitude that Chad with having.
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: I did because I had a question that was never answered.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: I need to ask you guys. The question, is every
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: player on the table?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Outside of fifteen? The answer is yes, every player?
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yoki, so but yes, So if every.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: Player is on the table, and the reason I asked
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: this question, what does that tell you where they think
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: that the improvements need to be made.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: With the players. There's something that there's something weird in
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: that room exactly. So and I don't know what. I
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is. Obviously, I'm not in that room,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: but I can feel it seems like there's something nobody
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: They're not They're not a team there. There are a
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: bunch of dudes.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: It was pretty obvious in the game six when Minnesota
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: walks in and they looked unified, they looked like they
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: had one common goal, right, and the Nuggets simply do
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: not listen.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I'm in that locker room a lot. I don't sense
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: any of the dysfunction.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I don't sense it.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: But the games speak volumes. Yeah, the turn of events
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: speaks volumes. And when they let you know that everyone
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: is tradable, everyone outside of the big fella that tells
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: you what they think of that locker room, here we go.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: The question is.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Who wants it?
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, Jamal is somebody that would be coveted for sure.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: I saw there was Let's see if I can pull
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: it up here that Yoki or I'm sorry that to Jamal.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: The potential suitors were It was the Suns, it was
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: the Lakers and some other team that I can't remember.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: But if that's the case, like, would you trade Jamal
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: to the lakers of the package was the right thing?
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Would you really do that?
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: Dude, Every package, every trade scenario is on the table,
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: and I'm here to tell you this is a fact.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: The Nuggets fans, you may not want to hear this,
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: and it's gonna hurt your heart to hear this. You
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: may have to take a step back to take a
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: step forward. In fact, I predict a step back. Wellst
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: listen to me. Listen, look at me, Look at me.
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: You're gonna have to take a step back to take
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: a step forward.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I'm to the point now I don't disagree
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: with you. They have to pull at least one more
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: title out of the Joker era. They have to, I think,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter whatever it takes VIC to get at least
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: another title out of there. You gotta do it.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: If you think you can reimagine a roster when everybody
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: knows you have to part with these players that a
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: lot of them are high priced, and reimagine it to
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: a better version in one offseason.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: You're crazy.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: It's gonna take a little more time than that. And
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: the only benefit they have in Joker is that his
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: game I think ages like fine wine. It ages fine
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: He's not going anywhere his game now. You can you
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: can make you can make the case that he didn't
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: play as well as he wanted to. But Joker is
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: not like some of those typical players who all of
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: a sudden fall off a cliff.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: That's not his game. Sure, jump back to this in
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: a bit again.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: The Abs tackle one oh lead nine to six win
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: over the Wild yesterday.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: We'll get to it next
