- 0:53Speaker 3: Conference Final tonight, Jared Bednar, coach, how you doing doing great?
- 0:57Speaker 2: Coach? Are you Are you a car guy?
- 1:00Speaker 4: Yes?
- 1:01Speaker 2: You are?
- 1:01Speaker 3: Okay, So let me ask you a question in a
- 1:04Speaker 3: different way. If you had a car, would you take
- 1:09Speaker 3: it out for a drive tonight for Game one of
- 1:12Speaker 3: the Western Conference Final?
- 1:18Speaker 4: Yes?
- 1:18Speaker 2: That would oh okay to know that's one of the
- 1:22Speaker 2: worst efforts I've ever seen. What do you mean? I
- 1:24Speaker 2: got an answer, That's what I was looking for.
- 1:26Speaker 5: Okay, well it's a sixty nine Camaro. Yeah, yeah, exactly right.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Well, coach getting ready for this. I get one question
- 1:34Speaker 2: that I think maybe is interesting. Maybe it's not.
- 1:38Speaker 3: When you're facing a coach who is recently got to
- 1:41Speaker 3: this team basically right before the playoffs, does that present
- 1:44Speaker 3: a new challenge in trying to figure out tendencies or
- 1:47Speaker 3: do you kind of have a base of what they've
- 1:49Speaker 3: done the entire year.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a base of what they've done the
- 1:53Speaker 4: entire year, and then we've kind of looked at the
- 1:57Speaker 4: areas of their game, like on analytics that have changed,
- 2:01Speaker 4: how they've changed some, like just slightly, some there's some
- 2:06Speaker 4: significant change. And then you kind of just study the
- 2:10Speaker 4: team like nine games or whatever it was left in
- 2:15Speaker 4: the regular season seven games, nine games, I think, and
- 2:19Speaker 4: then all the playoffs. And that's mostly the video that
- 2:22Speaker 4: we like look into. Right, it's the most recent stuff.
- 2:26Speaker 4: It's what they've been doing since he's been there. It's
- 2:29Speaker 4: the playoff stuff obviously takes the precedence over that, and
- 2:33Speaker 4: it's already two rounds in, so we have like a
- 2:37Speaker 4: solid idea to say it would be the same as
- 2:39Speaker 4: if the coach had been there all year.
- 2:42Speaker 6: Coach, as you poured through all that video over the weekend,
- 2:44Speaker 6: and I'm sure you spend plenty of time there. Where
- 2:47Speaker 6: is Vegas strongest? Where are they going to be the
- 2:51Speaker 6: most challenging for you?
- 2:54Speaker 4: The structure of their game on the defensive side of
- 2:57Speaker 4: things is really dialed in, so they've they've been one
- 3:01Speaker 4: of the most stingy defensive teams all year. I would
- 3:06Speaker 4: say that they've had some like ups and downs in goal,
- 3:11Speaker 4: like figuring out who is going to be their starter
- 3:13Speaker 4: and getting the goaltending to play up to par with
- 3:19Speaker 4: the rest of their team. And now he's doing that.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Part of the reason why they are advancing and why
- 3:24Speaker 4: their analytics still look very good on the defensive side
- 3:27Speaker 4: of it, so suppressing chances this is this is a
- 3:31Speaker 4: team that does it very well both off the rush
- 3:34Speaker 4: in the d zone. It's deep. It's a really good
- 3:38Speaker 4: all around team. Because then you look at their forward
- 3:41Speaker 4: depth and the firepower that they have. It's a veteran team.
- 3:45Speaker 4: You know, there's eleven guys I believe on their team
- 3:47Speaker 4: that won in twenty twenty three with a good MIXI
- 3:52Speaker 4: some younger guys that are hitting their stride now in
- 3:55Speaker 4: their careers. And then both special teams are like obviously
- 4:00Speaker 4: the Power plays super dangerous with guys like Ico Marner, Theodore,
- 4:05Speaker 4: you know, Stone, and the penalty kill is just a
- 4:09Speaker 4: mirror image of their five on five. It's it does
- 4:12Speaker 4: a really nice job of suppressing chances, especially high dajor chances.
- 4:16Speaker 4: So it's a it's a well rounded, well oiled machine,
- 4:21Speaker 4: you know. I kind of look at the few things.
- 4:23Speaker 4: They didn't have a great regular season for a lot
- 4:27Speaker 4: of it, a lot ups and downs and just kind
- 4:29Speaker 4: of hanging around in the pack in the Pacific Division.
- 4:32Speaker 4: But you know, a veteran team like them that it's
- 4:36Speaker 4: one tends to ramp up their game at the right
- 4:39Speaker 4: time of the year. And that's what they're good. They
- 4:41Speaker 4: get a new coach that gives them a little bump,
- 4:43Speaker 4: they players start ramping it up at the right time
- 4:45Speaker 4: of the year, and here they are Western Conference finals again.
- 4:51Speaker 4: So this this is a you know, this would be
- 4:53Speaker 4: a real good challenge for our team.
- 4:55Speaker 5: Coach A butterfly around the room a little bit yesterday,
- 4:57Speaker 5: taking some temperatures. You're team seems to be like they
- 5:01Speaker 5: were before game one of round one, before game one
- 5:03Speaker 5: of round two. Now they're getting ready for game one
- 5:05Speaker 5: of Round three. It's a calm, confident group. Nobody nobody's
- 5:10Speaker 5: changed the personalities and changed nobody's making more jokes than
- 5:12Speaker 5: they showed or less than I mean, everybody is everybody
- 5:16Speaker 5: right now, and to me it feels like it boats
- 5:18Speaker 5: pretty darn well.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, Like I think at this point in the year,
- 5:23Speaker 4: you know, you've been together since middle of September. You
- 5:27Speaker 4: are who you are, and we've always kind of had
- 5:29Speaker 4: this businesslike approach to the to the season, to the games.
- 5:36Speaker 4: You know, Like I've said this before, and we stressed
- 5:38Speaker 4: it a lot, like not getting too serious too quickly.
- 5:41Speaker 4: That we're relaxed, we're calm, we're confident in the work
- 5:45Speaker 4: that we're doing and the preparation that we're doing. And
- 5:49Speaker 4: then when it's time to go play, you you got
- 5:52Speaker 4: to loosen up. You got to loosen up a little bit.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Your focus has to be in the right place, and
- 5:56Speaker 4: you got to get ready to go and perform. But
- 5:58Speaker 4: there's no use grinding on it too long in advance.
- 6:02Speaker 4: When it's time for our meetings, everyone's focused and dialed in.
- 6:05Speaker 4: When it's time for practice, we're the same way. And
- 6:09Speaker 4: the other times you got to try and leave the
- 6:11Speaker 4: game behind a little bit, make sure you're doing your
- 6:14Speaker 4: personal preparation that you need, but just sort of step
- 6:18Speaker 4: away from the game a little bit and get serious
- 6:21Speaker 4: when it's time to And I thought, I think our
- 6:24Speaker 4: guys have done much better job of that this season
- 6:29Speaker 4: than in some of the years past, and just more
- 6:32Speaker 4: relaxed and confident in what we're doing. And it's showing
- 6:36Speaker 4: on the ice. You know, it's a more energized group
- 6:41Speaker 4: when we hit the ice, and there's a relaxed feel
- 6:44Speaker 4: to it.
- 6:45Speaker 3: All conversations with the coach brought you by mister Ruter Plumbing,
- 6:48Speaker 3: probably rooting for Colorado's hockey team. I heard you mentioned
- 6:51Speaker 3: a couple of days ago that there was a hunger
- 6:53Speaker 3: after twenty twenty one that you felt heading into twenty
- 6:55Speaker 3: twenty two, and you said, there's a similar feeling with
- 6:58Speaker 3: this team heading into this year in this postseason.
- 7:01Speaker 2: What is it about that can you expend just a
- 7:03Speaker 2: little bit.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Well, I think I think it starts with the heartbreak.
- 7:08Speaker 4: I think I always hated that saying that you had
- 7:12Speaker 4: to lose before you win, because like nobody really wants
- 7:16Speaker 4: to hear that, you know, But when you have a
- 7:19Speaker 4: team that you feel that is a contender, regardless of
- 7:24Speaker 4: what round you go out in, you know, like last
- 7:26Speaker 4: year it's us against Dallas. We felt like we had
- 7:28Speaker 4: a really good team, a team that could contend, and
- 7:31Speaker 4: we lose in a tough series to Dallas. There's some
- 7:35Speaker 4: heartbreak there. It was the same in twenty twenty one.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Look back at all the teams we had excluding twenty
- 7:42Speaker 4: twenty two, and twenty twenty one was a really solid team.
- 7:47Speaker 4: The way we conducted ourselves that year, I really liked it.
- 7:51Speaker 4: We were healthy for the most part, and the same
- 7:54Speaker 4: thing last year. And then you go through the heartbreak,
- 7:57Speaker 4: like sometimes there's things that you can't control and guys
- 8:00Speaker 4: going down and then all of a sudden, your death disappears.
- 8:03Speaker 4: But that wasn't the case in those two seasons. And
- 8:06Speaker 4: you go through it and everyone understands it. It sticks
- 8:10Speaker 4: with you, you know, and it takes you a while
- 8:12Speaker 4: to get over it, and then you come back the
- 8:14Speaker 4: next year and like we didn't shy away from bringing
- 8:18Speaker 4: it up. We brought it up and the focus and
- 8:21Speaker 4: becomes not so much on just like the short term
- 8:25Speaker 4: goals of winning on a Friday night or a Saturday night,
- 8:28Speaker 4: but like, what how do we have to conduct ourselves consistently?
- 8:31Speaker 4: And then what habits do we have to build to
- 8:34Speaker 4: be able to win come playoff time? And it's always
- 8:39Speaker 4: kind of the same message from the coaching staff, but
- 8:42Speaker 4: I feel like after a year like that and disappointment
- 8:45Speaker 4: like that, just the buy in and the focus and
- 8:48Speaker 4: the preparation from your group to try and accomplish that goal.
- 8:51Speaker 4: I give our guys a lot of credit because it's
- 8:53Speaker 4: all they've been talking about since day one. It's a
- 8:56Speaker 4: long road to get to this point, but they've ben
- 8:59Speaker 4: done an excellent job of having not only short term
- 9:03Speaker 4: goals but also having that bigger picture go on the
- 9:06Speaker 4: back of their mind all the time. And it's helped
- 9:09Speaker 4: with the consistency of our team this year. And yeah,
- 9:12Speaker 4: we feel good about our preparation going into this series
- 9:15Speaker 4: and looking forward to the challenge.
- 9:17Speaker 6: I love your attitude of facing the pressure and it
- 9:19Speaker 6: comes with the territory.
- 9:20Speaker 2: You wouldn't have it any other way.
- 9:21Speaker 6: I do want to ask you a practice yesterday in
- 9:24Speaker 6: most other leagues coach like NBA, they have closed practices,
- 9:28Speaker 6: they would never let you in there. The NFL is
- 9:30Speaker 6: the same way you guys are skating around. Do you
- 9:33Speaker 6: I mean, do you care people watching what you do?
- 9:35Speaker 6: I mean, are you as an NHL coach, do you
- 9:38Speaker 6: give up anything during an open practice like that and
- 9:40Speaker 6: you go back in the room and do other stuff?
- 9:42Speaker 2: How does that work?
- 9:44Speaker 1: No?
- 9:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's still very few secrets in this league.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Like adjustments are picked up early by staffs, by video, coaches,
- 9:53Speaker 4: by you know, management. Everybody watch and you're like, there's
- 9:58Speaker 4: not much misstaf ass is so big and dialed into
- 10:01Speaker 4: their specific areas that a team changes something, they might
- 10:05Speaker 4: get one look at it and then you're already like
- 10:08Speaker 4: sort of talking about what they did there and how
- 10:10Speaker 4: they might try and repeat it and how we want
- 10:12Speaker 4: to handle it. And the video prep for these series
- 10:16Speaker 4: like it's it's the heaviest that you like as a
- 10:20Speaker 4: coaching staff that you'd work all year, would be preparing
- 10:23Speaker 4: for training camp to get your team ready, and then
- 10:27Speaker 4: like in these breaks, it's you're digging in deep, right,
- 10:30Speaker 4: So there's any and most of the time, you know,
- 10:34Speaker 4: coaches would look at Oh, this is what their coverage is.
- 10:38Speaker 4: We had success doing that against this team. And then
- 10:41Speaker 4: they show video and get their team prepared of some
- 10:44Speaker 4: looks that they might be trying to create, and you're
- 10:47Speaker 4: like repeating past performances. Remember, you've played eighty two games
- 10:51Speaker 4: together and you've been, you know, looking for an advantage
- 10:54Speaker 4: anyway you can in all eighty two and then you
- 10:57Speaker 4: get to the point of the playoffs where you get
- 10:59Speaker 4: to know each other so well. It's why the checking
- 11:03Speaker 4: is so good in the playoffs. Everyone is so committed
- 11:06Speaker 4: and the team's just so prepared that it's hard to
- 11:09Speaker 4: gain a tactical advantage. It becomes about execution and you
- 11:16Speaker 4: know the like which team can execute and make a
- 11:19Speaker 4: play here and there to try to win the hockey game.
- 11:22Speaker 6: Having said that, during practice yesterday, you came to the
- 11:24Speaker 6: corner and you asked for a shovel, and I looked
- 11:27Speaker 6: at everybody, said, who has a shovel? What did you
- 11:30Speaker 6: do with said shovel when you took it.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Well, we did some down low work at the one
- 11:35Speaker 4: end and like for quite a while to get our
- 11:40Speaker 4: guys competing a little bit down low in the d zone.
- 11:43Speaker 4: So we're prepared for what's coming at us today, and
- 11:46Speaker 4: then we wanted to go to power play and the
- 11:50Speaker 4: ice doesn't hold up that long, right, So the ice
- 11:52Speaker 4: down at that end was really snowy, and you try.
- 11:55Speaker 4: What you're trying to do is sort of create the
- 11:57Speaker 4: area of ice around the net and just off than that.
- 12:00Speaker 4: So like the power play can at least move the
- 12:02Speaker 4: pocket efficiently. So that's just bobbling around and mispasses all
- 12:06Speaker 4: over the place. So you get a chance to work
- 12:08Speaker 4: on your special team. So that's why I only did
- 12:11Speaker 4: it at the one end. The other end we didn't
- 12:12Speaker 4: use for that down low play. It was still in
- 12:14Speaker 4: good shape.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Came to the corner for a jackhammer. Decided, Hey, coach,
- 12:20Speaker 5: obviously you guys fought for home iice advantage. That was
- 12:23Speaker 5: a goal this year. You didn't want to d up
- 12:24Speaker 5: play last year and certain things come with that. The
- 12:27Speaker 5: crowd's going to be crazy tonight, no doubt about it.
- 12:30Speaker 5: But as we're talking about a West Final, having that
- 12:33Speaker 5: last change, and I know that coaches look for every
- 12:37Speaker 5: tiny advantage they can possibly get. When that pays off,
- 12:41Speaker 5: it really pays off. But how much are you thinking
- 12:43Speaker 5: about that right now? Even matchups. As we talked this morning.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Yeah, we've gone through all the matchups that we feel
- 12:50Speaker 4: like could work for us playing AVC and so on.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And I would say, you know, like it just depends
- 12:59Speaker 4: on the you're playing, the coach you're playing. You're always like,
- 13:04Speaker 4: we'll always try and get Nathan McKinnon out against the
- 13:07Speaker 4: third pair of defense and the line that they're taking
- 13:10Speaker 4: advantage of in certain situations, but the bulk of the game,
- 13:15Speaker 4: a lot of times the coaches want the same matchup.
- 13:17Speaker 4: So you say, take Minnesota for instance, like we wanted
- 13:21Speaker 4: McKinnon on caprice off and a loose match that Nelson
- 13:24Speaker 4: can be there as well against that line, and then
- 13:28Speaker 4: we so that's how we ran, That's how they ran,
- 13:31Speaker 4: and then we go into their building and they wanted
- 13:33Speaker 4: the same matchup, right, Like, sometimes you just gotta you
- 13:37Speaker 4: look at it and you have to like the obvious answers.
- 13:41Speaker 4: You gotta win more matchups than you lose, and sometimes
- 13:45Speaker 4: it means tying one is it can be a win
- 13:47Speaker 4: for you, Right, So it just depends on the series
- 13:52Speaker 4: who's trying to do what with their checking game, and
- 13:55Speaker 4: they may try to do something different in Vegas than
- 13:58Speaker 4: we want to do here tonight, and in gay two
- 14:01Speaker 4: we might might want to do something and we didn't
- 14:03Speaker 4: in game one if it didn't work, or we might
- 14:05Speaker 4: want to give our guys another crack at it. It's
- 14:07Speaker 4: just sort of having a feel for your team and
- 14:10Speaker 4: if something's not working, you almost have to change it
- 14:13Speaker 4: in the playoffs, and if it is working, you're trying
- 14:16Speaker 4: to stick with it so that the home lice advantage
- 14:20Speaker 4: is here in the playoffs has been a strange on
- 14:22Speaker 4: the road. Teams have won a lot of hockey games
- 14:24Speaker 4: in all series, and I don't know what that is exactly,
- 14:28Speaker 4: but we like our advantage here at home. We love
- 14:32Speaker 4: the energy of the building, The fans have been just
- 14:35Speaker 4: phenomenal for us, and our guys have played well here,
- 14:39Speaker 4: so hopefully that can continue home an road through the series.
- 14:42Speaker 3: Just a couple more for you, coach, and all the
- 14:44Speaker 3: conversations with Jared Bednar about you by Chili One's beer,
- 14:46Speaker 3: one Chili one at a time. Goaltending. Has anything in
- 14:50Speaker 3: the approach towards that changed? Are you still going with
- 14:53Speaker 3: a two man sort of approach or anything like that.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Yep. We'll ride the hot goalie and if we need
- 14:58Speaker 4: the next guys, he'll be prepared and ready to go.
- 15:02Speaker 2: And then finally, coach, always appreciate the time. Do you
- 15:05Speaker 2: have everyone available tonight?
- 15:09Speaker 4: We're hoping so okay, there you go.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Head coach of the Abs Jared Bednar coach, best of
- 15:14Speaker 2: luck to you, man.
- 15:15Speaker 6: I know the pressure gets hotter and hotter, but you've
- 15:19Speaker 6: been there, You've done that, and this is going to
- 15:21Speaker 6: be some great theater.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Good luck tonight.
- 15:23Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Guys, Thank you head coach.
- 15:25Speaker 3: The app Jared Bednar joins us every single week. Look,
- 15:30Speaker 3: I thought the car question.
- 15:31Speaker 6: Was a pretty good I thought the entire interview got
- 15:34Speaker 6: out to such a bad start.
- 15:36Speaker 2: What you mean I got an answer? What I got
- 15:38Speaker 2: an answer?
- 15:39Speaker 6: Your methodology to try to get that information was so
- 15:43Speaker 6: far fetched? Were you embarrassed?
- 15:44Speaker 2: I was embarrassed.
- 15:45Speaker 3: I have one person texted in masterclass ra she was
- 15:48Speaker 3: not doing anything today because he can't speak.
- 15:50Speaker 2: He texted me brilliant Mosa. Were you embarrassed by?
- 15:54Speaker 5: I liked it?
- 15:55Speaker 2: Yeah, mo, Man, give me some, give me some. I
- 15:59Speaker 2: have to back door your way into these injury questions.
- 16:02Speaker 2: You used to that? All right, I'm out, Nelly. What's
- 16:08Speaker 2: your vote on this was was did I have a
- 16:11Speaker 2: smart approach in a in asking them car question? Or
- 16:14Speaker 2: was it stupid? I'll tell you what.
- 16:16Speaker 7: At first, I thought it was stupid until I realized
- 16:19Speaker 7: the car the carun angle there.
- 16:23Speaker 2: And I said the car really quick to try? You
- 16:25Speaker 2: know what I mean that.
- 16:27Speaker 7: I came around on it. But at first the initial
- 16:29Speaker 7: reviews were not so good. I wanted to quit my job.
- 16:33Speaker 7: You're just mad you didn't think of it.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Vic.

- 17:00Speaker 3: or he said Hamlet? Would you would you drive a
- 17:03Speaker 3: car to game one of the Western Conference Final?
- 17:05Speaker 2: I think he said that.
- 17:06Speaker 5: Look here he didn't say. He didn't really say anything,
- 17:09Speaker 5: but you'll find out tonight at five yew, what time

- 18:07Speaker 3: this point of the year. Vic, you can give me
- 18:10Speaker 3: that look all you want to Was that an answer
- 18:12Speaker 3: or not?
- 18:13Speaker 6: It could mean a lot of different things. He can
- 18:15Speaker 6: drive to the arena in a new car. Nope, motion
- 18:20Speaker 6: I get an answer or not? So are you willing
- 18:24Speaker 6: to go this?
- 18:25Speaker 5: I don't know if you got the answer you thought
- 18:26Speaker 5: you got, but you can't get one hold on. Let's
- 18:28Speaker 5: see if.
- 18:28Speaker 2: You'll take it this far?
- 18:30Speaker 6: Are you willing at a certified as a certified professional
- 18:33Speaker 6: journalist that you are? After asking that question, yes and
- 18:37Speaker 6: getting already tweeted it out, jump on the Twitter machine.
- 18:40Speaker 6: I've already done it, according to Hockey Brett, I've already
- 18:44Speaker 6: done it, confirmed to us or to you that Cale
- 18:49Speaker 6: mccarr is indeed riding tonight.
- 18:51Speaker 2: You think I.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Care about what zero journalistic credibility I have?
- 18:57Speaker 2: Do what you think? I'm not a reporter.
- 19:01Speaker 5: When I went through my logical steps.
- 19:03Speaker 2: This is where you play one more time?
- 19:05Speaker 3: No, no, no, just just play it one more time nowy
- 19:07Speaker 3: go ahead?
- 19:08Speaker 2: Uh, coach, are you a Are you a car guy?
- 19:11Speaker 4: Yes?
- 19:11Speaker 2: You are?
- 19:12Speaker 3: Okay, so let me ask you, uh a question in
- 19:15Speaker 3: a different way. If you had a car, would you
- 19:19Speaker 3: take it out for a drive tonight for game one
- 19:22Speaker 3: of the Western Conference Final?
- 19:27Speaker 4: Stop right there.
- 19:29Speaker 2: He knows exactly what I asked. That's what that laugh was.
- 19:32Speaker 2: He knows exactly what I'm asking.
- 19:33Speaker 5: I will say this.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Let's put two and two together. He knows what I asked.
- 19:36Speaker 6: When he laughed, Let's let's put that's a nervous laughter.
- 19:39Speaker 6: Wondering how soon can I get out of this?
- 19:42Speaker 2: I think he was trying to figure out a way around.
- 19:45Speaker 2: It was like, who do I call to get out
- 19:47Speaker 2: of this deal? And then continue? Sorry? Continue? Yes I would,
- 19:53Speaker 2: he said, yes, I would.
- 19:55Speaker 5: Coach is a smart person. He's not a dumb person.
- 19:58Speaker 5: He's a smart person. So my guess is he knew
- 20:01Speaker 5: exactly what you were doing. But that being said, we'll see,
- 20:11Speaker 5: I don't know that that.
- 20:14Speaker 2: I think there were ways around. Couldn't have been more clear.
- 20:16Speaker 5: Okay, that being said, he didn't really see anything that
- 20:19Speaker 5: we don't you know?
- 20:20Speaker 2: Because then I asked, later, is everybody available? And what'd
- 20:22Speaker 2: he tell you?
- 20:24Speaker 5: We'll see?
- 20:24Speaker 2: He said, oh, I don't know, we'll see. We're having
- 20:26Speaker 2: That wasn't an answer. People were having fun with this.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Don't take it too seriously.
- 20:30Speaker 6: Clearly I would be after listening to that and understanding
- 20:36Speaker 6: the depth of an injury like this, Yeah, I would
- 20:39Speaker 6: be surprised, not stunned, if Cale mccarr didn't skate tonight. Now,
- 20:45Speaker 6: how effective will he be? How long will he play?
- 20:49Speaker 6: Maybe it's a shift and he's like, no, can't do it.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Who knows? I'm gonna say I would be surprised if.
- 20:54Speaker 6: He doesn't show up and he's there at the face
- 20:57Speaker 6: off tonight.
- 20:58Speaker 5: Nas and Kadri had what's sticking up out of what?
- 21:01Speaker 5: He had?
- 21:01Speaker 2: A screw sticking out of his hand.
- 21:04Speaker 5: And Andrew Coggliano had what a broken neck?
- 21:09Speaker 1: Oh?
- 21:10Speaker 5: A broken neck? Did he play with a broken neck? Yeah?
- 21:14Speaker 2: Yes he did. Val had like a foot on top
- 21:16Speaker 2: of a foot.
- 21:17Speaker 5: VAL's foot. VIC was in half. I saw the X ray.
- 21:21Speaker 2: How the hell does that happen? I know this is
- 21:23Speaker 2: years ago, but how the hell does happen?
- 21:25Speaker 5: It's the big inside bone. I saw the X ray
- 21:28Speaker 5: and I'm not kidding. You want to tell you? Was
- 21:29Speaker 5: it like? It was in half?
- 21:32Speaker 2: So I guess what's happening?
- 21:34Speaker 5: So you man, look, unless the guy's in a coma, yes,
- 21:39Speaker 5: I'm going to here's let me play dumb Vic. Unless
- 21:45Speaker 5: the guy's in a coma, he's going to play and
- 21:47Speaker 5: I'm gonna pretend he's ready to go baby.
- 21:50Speaker 6: So in conclusion, he may indeed drive that car tonight. Yeah,
- 21:55Speaker 6: but we don't know if that car is gonna make it.
- 21:57Speaker 6: We don't know if that car is going to be
- 21:59Speaker 6: in the shop real quick. We don't know the if
- 22:01Speaker 6: that ignition is working. You know, you might buy a
- 22:04Speaker 6: car and all of a sudden it's back of the shop.
- 22:06Speaker 3: You always hear this regarding really good players playing through
- 22:10Speaker 3: an injury. It's always something like, hey, mos, seventy percent
- 22:15Speaker 3: of Patrick Mahomes is better than one hundred percent of
- 22:17Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew or whatever, something like that, right solid, what's
- 22:20Speaker 3: the name Ola docan Ola Docin a.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Lot of con what percentage of Kale do you think
- 22:27Speaker 2: you need? I feel like I'm better than well, you know,
- 22:32Speaker 2: that's a that's a great question.
- 22:34Speaker 6: It's got to be able to shoot the puck, which
- 22:35Speaker 6: he could not do in Game five against Minnesota.
- 22:38Speaker 2: See I don't I'm gonna be able to shoot the puck.
- 22:42Speaker 3: What I noticed in game five, and look, this is
- 22:44Speaker 3: like we're talking about five minutes worth of him being
- 22:47Speaker 3: on the ice that I'm trying to evaluate right now,
- 22:49Speaker 3: So take it with a grain of salt. What I
- 22:51Speaker 3: noticed at the end of game five, and he's had
- 22:53Speaker 3: a week to get better since then, is if he
- 22:57Speaker 3: had the puck on his stick Moje with a guy
- 22:59Speaker 3: bearing down on it, he was getting rid of the
- 23:01Speaker 3: puck before he would take contacts. That's what it looked
- 23:04Speaker 3: like to me, if he was on the boards and
- 23:06Speaker 3: some guy was coming near him, he bailed a little
- 23:08Speaker 3: bit before he took another head.
- 23:11Speaker 2: If it's that, then I'm nervous.
- 23:14Speaker 3: If he's willing to withstand some bumps and hits, then
- 23:18Speaker 3: I think we're fine. That's kind of where how I
- 23:21Speaker 3: think of it. You know, he can't play, you can't
- 23:23Speaker 3: play his defenseman without contact, So you know, and here's
- 23:26Speaker 3: the other element to this one. We know what he's
- 23:29Speaker 3: going through because we saw it with our own eyes.
- 23:31Speaker 3: How many different guys have something similar that we're just unaware.
- 23:34Speaker 5: Of, but.
- 23:37Speaker 3: You visually could tell there's a problem. And with those
- 23:41Speaker 3: other guys motion when we hear about these things, you know,
- 23:43Speaker 3: guys are playing hurt.
- 23:45Speaker 2: You don't see guys hanging a shoulder moch.
- 23:48Speaker 6: How many of these guys are masking their injuries to
- 23:50Speaker 6: the point where it's they're gritting their teeth having to.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Mask him a lot.
- 23:54Speaker 5: I watched the last Philadelphia Flyers game again. That list
- 23:59Speaker 5: that I read down, it's pretty massive. Ten different guys
- 24:03Speaker 5: from internal bleeding to fractured you know, fibula, to broken
- 24:08Speaker 5: ribs to broken wrists, I mean, all the yeah, I
- 24:11Speaker 5: watched the last Philly game, and I'm thinking to myself,
- 24:14Speaker 5: I didn't notice that any of these guys had what
- 24:16Speaker 5: they had, right, So they mask it pretty well. They
- 24:20Speaker 5: do a really good job of masking. And I'm sure
- 24:23Speaker 5: that when you look on the Vegas side, Vic they've
- 24:25Speaker 5: played three more games in the avalanche and it wasn't
- 24:29Speaker 5: like Utah said, oh pitter pattern, beauty, beauty, boo boo,
- 24:33Speaker 5: boo boo. And same with the Ducks. I mean, these
- 24:35Speaker 5: guys were throwing bodies around. So it happens. It's the
- 24:40Speaker 5: most strenuous time of the year by tenfold. So I'm
- 24:44Speaker 5: sure they're masking things on that side as well. We'll
- 24:46Speaker 5: find out. We'll find out by the way, he got
- 24:50Speaker 5: me for another twenty nine, So let's go use me
- 24:55Speaker 5: and abuse me. That's so funny.
- 25:02Speaker 6: You're the only guy I know that actually has a
- 25:05Speaker 6: clock on his own availability and his own radio show.
- 25:09Speaker 6: This is this is his that he's radio and he's
- 25:13Speaker 6: the star of this is your radio show. And you're
- 25:15Speaker 6: giving us countdowns on how long we have the honor
- 25:19Speaker 6: of talking.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Let's let's go around the room for a second, because
- 25:21Speaker 2: we all know what's going on.
- 25:22Speaker 5: Here.
- 25:23Speaker 2: If somebody asks you, vic, who's the star of this
- 25:25Speaker 2: radio show? Who is it?
- 25:26Speaker 3: Mer Nelly, who's the star of the show.
- 25:33Speaker 7: Well, Moser's name is first and the show name. There's
- 25:36Speaker 7: no question that Mosure is star. We don't have the
- 25:39Speaker 7: awards every year and and.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Mosure mo you're the engine. Mosr.
- 25:43Speaker 3: When he counts down the time he's got to leave,
- 25:46Speaker 3: to go to the arena to do interviews or whatever
- 25:48Speaker 3: you got to do.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Tonight, you do it with this sense of like you
- 25:51Speaker 2: have a vacation coming, like you're trying to purposely leave
- 25:55Speaker 2: your own program. I mean, who does that?
- 25:59Speaker 3: Imagine Seinfeld starts and Jerry goes, you got me for
- 26:01Speaker 3: five more minutes, and then it's all Cramer.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, what what if you what if.
- 26:04Speaker 6: You didn't have our support or help? What if you
- 26:07Speaker 6: didn't have all this and it was just you?
- 26:11Speaker 5: But I do I mean, don't we don't get in,
- 26:15Speaker 5: don't get into what ifs here?
- 26:16Speaker 2: Bro you know, back to this comes and goes as
- 26:19Speaker 2: he pleases. He can just tell you something.
- 26:22Speaker 3: There's there's times in this show, like when Mosher had
- 26:24Speaker 3: the Mosure hat trick last week where he had a
- 26:26Speaker 3: twinkie in his car, he got locked out of the
- 26:28Speaker 3: building and then had a gall bladder issue. Moser is saying,
- 26:33Speaker 3: you got me for twenty five minutes to use me
- 26:35Speaker 3: and abuse me, and then I'm gone. And then I
- 26:38Speaker 3: asked Vic, who's the star of the show, and Vic
- 26:40Speaker 3: goes me it's so one, briand for everything about this show.
- 26:44Speaker 2: I just speak the truth here.
- 26:46Speaker 6: See the difference between me and you, guys, is I
- 26:48Speaker 6: speak the truth every morning into this microphone.
- 26:50Speaker 1: You do.
- 26:51Speaker 6: This guy's just trying to get the hell out of here,
- 26:52Speaker 6: and you're just making dumb.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Jokes to the coach.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Hey, if you listen to what that was reporting, that
- 26:58Speaker 3: was my version of reporting. Okay, nobody reports like I'm
- 27:00Speaker 3: just guys trying to get out of work every day.
- 27:03Speaker 3: This guy does everything he can to get out of work,
- 27:05Speaker 3: to be late to work, to leave work.
- 27:06Speaker 5: Are you leaving?
- 27:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to leave, Dork. We thought about it,
- 27:13Speaker 2: so you have to leave forty five minutes early. I
- 27:17Speaker 2: have to leave ten minutes early.
- 27:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Why don't you just leave when we leave? Dan Nelly,
- 27:23Speaker 2: you got this or do you want to leave too?
- 27:25Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 27:25Speaker 7: I'll just do my tight five for the comedy store
- 27:27Speaker 7: after you guys leave perfect perfect.
- 27:29Speaker 5: Hey, what I'm saying is, if you listen to what
- 27:31Speaker 5: coach had to say, he says a lot. He says
- 27:36Speaker 5: it was and it's every little advantage during the regular season. Okay, fine,
- 27:42Speaker 5: but you're talking about the last change, people like, you
- 27:45Speaker 5: know what what the opposing team when they're in your
- 27:49Speaker 5: building has to put their guys out first. Then you
- 27:51Speaker 5: put your line out against who you want out there. Right,
- 27:54Speaker 5: you get that last change in the grand scheme of things.
- 28:00Speaker 5: I don't know what the percentage of. You know it
- 28:02Speaker 5: pays off for us, but when it does, it can
- 28:06Speaker 5: make the difference between winning a game, winning a period,
- 28:10Speaker 5: winning a game, winning a series, and not end of story. So,
- 28:13Speaker 5: which is always why you want that home ice advanced.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Right, So let's change. Walk me through this tonight, Like,
- 28:18Speaker 2: how would that work? What is he looking at? What
- 28:20Speaker 2: are they looking at?
- 28:21Speaker 5: There's a face off. Let's say there's a face off
- 28:23Speaker 5: in the Golden night zone.
- 28:25Speaker 2: All right.
- 28:26Speaker 5: Let's say it was an icing call and you've got
- 28:28Speaker 5: Dowd Smith and Colo Sar Okay, stuck on the ice
- 28:33Speaker 5: with the bottom pair. Let's say you know who's coming out.
- 28:39Speaker 2: You're going to put the pressure of.
- 28:40Speaker 5: Ad top line and top pair are coming out, absolutely,
- 28:43Speaker 5: and they.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Can't change and they can't change.
- 28:45Speaker 5: Right, Let's say it's the second period and they are
- 28:47Speaker 5: they're huffing against Minnesota. Absolutely, it did, but it's just
- 28:51Speaker 5: it's just a draw in your zone, you know. I mean, Okay,
- 28:55Speaker 5: they've got their top line out who can defend best
- 28:57Speaker 5: in their own zone against that particular line. And I
- 29:00Speaker 5: love what he said. He's like, we've been through all
- 29:02Speaker 5: of it a hundred times and we've got plan A,
- 29:05Speaker 5: Plan B, playing C for I mean, they have contingencies
- 29:09Speaker 5: for every friggin scenario on the ice. Yeah, I mean
- 29:12Speaker 5: that's where you're at here in this uh, in this
- 29:17Speaker 5: time of the season.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Let me ask you something, because Brett Howden is somebody
- 29:20Speaker 3: who's scored eight goals throughout the course of this postseason
- 29:22Speaker 3: for Vegas. He is second on the team, trailing only
- 29:25Speaker 3: Dorifics is what I'm gonna call him.
- 29:27Speaker 6: Why do you quep doing that? Why I'm gonna start
- 29:30Speaker 6: calling him that? And I don't want to do that.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Do punchable faces. I can't do funny little nicknames. But
- 29:39Speaker 2: three of Howden's eight goals have come shorthanded. This postseason.
- 29:43Speaker 2: What do I do with that information? Look the hell
- 29:46Speaker 2: out when you're on the power player?
- 29:47Speaker 5: What basically, Yeah, what do you think teams do when
- 29:50Speaker 5: Logan O'Connor's out there?
- 29:52Speaker 2: Yeah, same thing.
- 29:53Speaker 5: Because or foul, They're like, hey, hey, there's always that. Hey,
- 29:57Speaker 5: keep an eye on this guy. Just keep an eye
- 29:59Speaker 5: he listen, don't man, If you get everybody like down below.
- 30:02Speaker 2: The tops of the circles, you're screwed. By the way,
- 30:04Speaker 2: I saw you chatting with Val yesterday. You had a
- 30:07Speaker 2: nice little exchange.
- 30:07Speaker 5: What did you say to him? Stuff?
- 30:09Speaker 2: Just talking like I'm just curious. Did you speak in Russian?
- 30:13Speaker 5: No?
- 30:14Speaker 3: No, I talked to Val for at a charity golf tournament,
- 30:17Speaker 3: the Ave Charity Golf Tournament a couple of years ago.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Really fun guy.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Yeah, cool dude. Yep.
- 30:23Speaker 3: I actually thought I didn't know if he spoke very
- 30:26Speaker 3: good English and he started talking to him.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Now he's fine. He just told me long flight, That's
- 30:31Speaker 2: what I said, because he just got in. I did
- 30:33Speaker 2: it that morning from Russia.
- 30:35Speaker 5: Brett Halden this year in fifty eight games because he
- 30:37Speaker 5: was injured in early March. Fifty eight games. Well, last year,
- 30:41Speaker 5: at his best year, ever, he never scored as far
- 30:43Speaker 5: as I know, double digit goals at twenty three and seventeen.
- 30:48Speaker 5: Last year amazing had twelve. This year he's got eight
- 30:51Speaker 5: in the postseason. He's a guy that can really fly.
- 30:55Speaker 5: You know when you look at Vegas overall, well.
- 30:59Speaker 2: How about this? How about this motion?
- 31:00Speaker 3: Instead of doing what you're gonna do, do this before
- 31:02Speaker 3: you leave.
- 31:05Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza Cheese to the game, Johnsonado
- 31:09Speaker 1: Plaza experience the power of the Plaza when they had
- 31:11Speaker 1: the keys to performance in style with Ram Jeep, Chevy,
- 31:14Speaker 1: Pwick and GMC and a huge selection if used all
- 31:16Speaker 1: in one place.
- 31:18Speaker 5: Here's Moa, Sheer, Lombardi.
- 31:19Speaker 3: And Ky six o'clock tonight right here in ninety two five,
- 31:22Speaker 3: you're only live and local play by play coverage of
- 31:25Speaker 3: the as MOS Number one.
- 31:27Speaker 5: Can we all be in agreement that you've got to
- 31:29Speaker 5: stay out of the box.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Yes, Vic, that's every game, especially in this one.
- 31:34Speaker 5: It's going to take precedent here in that second round series.
- 31:39Speaker 5: What do we say, you're in a box a moment
- 31:41Speaker 5: too more than my liking, right, stay out of the box.
- 31:44Speaker 5: That's that's just a given. The Vegas Golden Knights are
- 31:48Speaker 5: not as fast as you. Now, what they do do
- 31:51Speaker 5: there's a different how do I describe this vic overall
- 31:54Speaker 5: top end end to end speed. They're not as fast
- 31:57Speaker 5: as you. No, but when they when they play in
- 31:59Speaker 5: your zone, they're this, they're shark. That's exactly right.
- 32:03Speaker 2: They're shark.
- 32:04Speaker 5: That's that's exactly right. And they think fast. Well, you're
- 32:09Speaker 5: not writing it for me. I'm including you.
- 32:11Speaker 2: When you feel thank you for the inclusion.
- 32:13Speaker 5: You're welcome. They they think the game really fast, and
- 32:16Speaker 5: so they're here there. They've got a lot of good
- 32:18Speaker 5: stuff going on for them right now, and you've got
- 32:21Speaker 5: to take care of your own end. Coach talked about
- 32:23Speaker 5: how good Vegas is structurally in their defensive end. Right now,
- 32:26Speaker 5: you've got to equal that you are the best defensive
- 32:28Speaker 5: team all year long. And what I pretty cool I
- 32:30Speaker 5: say yesterday something that when he got here he didn't
- 32:33Speaker 5: know really how structurally committed every single guy is to
- 32:39Speaker 5: playing what defense. Defense that's exactly right. Now, coming from
- 32:43Speaker 5: Edmonton and then Pittsburgh, it might be like, good God, almighty,
- 32:47Speaker 5: this is amazing, because you know, Edmonton's had a reputation
- 32:52Speaker 5: for not fuckly DoD Yeah, you must play well in
- 32:55Speaker 5: your own zone. Take away their time and space as
- 32:57Speaker 5: much as possible, because they're a quick thinking, quick passing,
- 33:01Speaker 5: quick striking team.
- 33:03Speaker 2: No Star Trek. Oh yeah, man, don't make it so.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Hold on right now, he's got a google a quote
- 33:14Speaker 3: from Star Trek. All right, let's see if you can
- 33:16Speaker 3: find one on the fly. Let's test your research knowledge here, mo,
- 33:19Speaker 3: All right, what would John luccard say?
- 33:23Speaker 5: He would say, the line must be drawn here this far?
- 33:28Speaker 1: No father?
- 33:30Speaker 2: All right, uh oh you know what that applies to.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Don't cross the line and get in the box. I'll
- 33:36Speaker 2: help you out.
- 33:37Speaker 5: The line must be drawn here this far. No father.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Keys to the game powered by Johnson Autoplase.

- 33:46Speaker 2: Experience the power of the Plase Johnson Autoplause.
- 33:48Speaker 5: Because you can't reuse it. We've done engage. We did
- 33:51Speaker 5: make it so. And then everybody throughout the course of
- 33:54Speaker 5: this program is going tea earl gray hot like that
- 33:57Speaker 5: came up several times. That was a nelly thing. So
- 34:01Speaker 5: those were his three most iconic quotes.
- 34:03Speaker 2: I just got to keep finding him.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Now three oh, three, five, four nine two five, Oh,
- 34:08Speaker 3: by the way, next, Oh, by the way, stories around
- 34:11Speaker 3: sports in the world we feel like you should be
- 34:13Speaker 3: aware of. So last night the Arizona Diamondbacks walk off
- 34:18Speaker 3: for a five to three win over the Giants, a
- 34:20Speaker 3: three run homer, by believe was Tel Marte.
- 34:24Speaker 2: In the ninth to win.
- 34:26Speaker 3: And what they did the night before is even crazier.
- 34:30Speaker 3: I don't think this has happened in the sport before.
- 34:32Speaker 3: I doubt it will ever happen again. And for a
- 34:34Speaker 3: sport that's existed since the Jack Glasscock days of the
- 34:37Speaker 3: eighteen eighties, it's a rarity. Let me give you the
- 34:40Speaker 3: first inning for the d Backs from two nights ago.
- 34:43Speaker 3: It's tell Marte let off. He took strike one looking,
- 34:47Speaker 3: then he hit a single on the second pitch. Then
- 34:50Speaker 3: Carrol came to the plate. He had a single on
- 34:53Speaker 3: the first pitch. Then Perdomo came to the plate, hit
- 34:57Speaker 3: a ground ball to third, but the third baseman booted it.
- 35:00Speaker 3: Bases are now loaded. And then your boy, Moses Nolan
- 35:03Speaker 3: Arnatto came up. He took the first pitch for a
- 35:07Speaker 3: ball and then hit a grand slam on the second pitch.
- 35:11Speaker 2: It was a Grand Slam.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Six pitches into the game, which I think is virtually
- 35:19Speaker 3: impossible to do.
- 35:20Speaker 1: That is.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Six pitches.
- 35:25Speaker 5: It's impossible.
- 35:26Speaker 6: That didn't happen unless unless you had three guys hit
- 35:30Speaker 6: by the first pitch, which never right happened, never happened,
- 35:35Speaker 6: I know. I'm just saying, I'm trying to think of
- 35:37Speaker 6: other ways to lower that number.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Now, I haven't seen is this the first time in
- 35:41Speaker 3: MLB history? But it has to be for six pitches
- 35:44Speaker 3: into a game, you to be up four to nothing.
- 35:45Speaker 3: There's no way that that's ever taken place.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Weird, so very very weird.
- 35:51Speaker 3: And then they walk it off the next night, I
- 35:53Speaker 3: thought it was another Grand Slam, was a three run homer.
- 35:55Speaker 3: But still anyway, Hey, did you guys see this? Oh,
- 35:59Speaker 3: by the way, stop me if you've heard this one before.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Rashi Rice is in trouble.
- 36:05Speaker 2: No, yeah, no.
- 36:08Speaker 3: One week before being ordered to serve thirty days in jail,
- 36:13Speaker 3: Rashi Rice underwent a clean up surgery on his right
- 36:15Speaker 3: need to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation is
- 36:19Speaker 3: now expected to decideline him two months, but he broke
- 36:25Speaker 3: his UW. I'm trying to find it probation his probation
- 36:29Speaker 3: after testing positive for weed, and now he's been ordered
- 36:33Speaker 3: to serve thirty days in jail.
- 36:36Speaker 6: You know, it's crazy how those rules apply, and that
- 36:39Speaker 6: we live in Denver in a weed.
- 36:42Speaker 2: Episode really doesn't apply here. You can't do it if
- 36:45Speaker 2: you're on probation. Understood, understood, But the whole concept of that, Yeah,
- 36:50Speaker 2: Rashi Rice, like, I don't know what I know.
- 36:52Speaker 3: This is like a long standing thing with the Chiefs
- 36:54Speaker 3: that they always have guys that are in trouble with
- 36:56Speaker 3: the law and stuff like that. If you're the NFL,
- 36:59Speaker 3: this guy's now like a repeat, repeat offender. He's gotta
- 37:02Speaker 3: have some sort of suspension or something, doesn't he Isn't
- 37:05Speaker 3: that the the whole protecting the shield and violating the
- 37:09Speaker 3: co conduct?
- 37:10Speaker 2: You can't keep getting in handcuffs.
- 37:12Speaker 5: Man, I agree, I've got one for you.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Go ahead, are we part?
- 37:16Speaker 5: I consider myself a very very large part of the
- 37:21Speaker 5: greatest sports.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Spit it out conglomeration in history. You're talking about the ownership, Yeah, yeah,
- 37:31Speaker 2: I saw this. Yes, our brothers, our brethren, These are
- 37:34Speaker 2: our brethren. Our coworkers are co workers.
- 37:38Speaker 5: I think I beat out the sixteen year old kid
- 37:41Speaker 5: for employee of the month. Arsenal one the Premier League
- 37:46Speaker 5: for the fast time in twenty two years. Yeah, so
- 37:51Speaker 5: everybody knows what and no offense to the bosses. I'm
- 37:55Speaker 5: a Brentford guy. I like the Bees. They're like the
- 37:57Speaker 5: little engine that could. Arsenal's do They had a phenomenal.
- 38:02Speaker 3: Arsenal, Avs, Nuggets, Rams, all of won championship since nineteen
- 38:07Speaker 3: since Mammony twenty one, Mammoth the mammoth the Rapids won
- 38:11Speaker 3: sixteen years ago.
- 38:13Speaker 2: So they're on the championship trophy case, are they?
- 38:15Speaker 5: So?
- 38:16Speaker 3: Are the Rapids the only team that has not won
- 38:18Speaker 3: a championship within the twenty twenties?
- 38:20Speaker 6: Yes, gosh man, Yes, that's a never seen before, unrivaled
- 38:26Speaker 6: run of a sports empire.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:29Speaker 5: Every sport is different, there's no doubt about it. But
- 38:32Speaker 5: did you go through have you seen the five phase
- 38:35Speaker 5: plan that they implemented on how to get back to
- 38:38Speaker 5: being number one? No Arsenal, Yeah, Arsenal. The first phase was.
- 38:43Speaker 6: Talk radio player, first morning show.
- 38:47Speaker 2: Let's be honest, it was higre me.
- 38:49Speaker 5: Why are we doing our show from London right now?
- 38:51Speaker 2: When was I hired?
- 38:53Speaker 5: Twenty nineteen champion?
- 38:55Speaker 2: You're welcome, You know nothing but champions. You're welcome.
- 38:58Speaker 5: Spoiled player per which was number one, recruitment rethink was
- 39:02Speaker 5: number two, Okay, winners welcome, Phase three, Phase four, recruit
- 39:10Speaker 5: declan Rice which is a pretty big one, guys, stud
- 39:16Speaker 5: and then winning habits.
- 39:18Speaker 2: So you play, you start with player perge. All right,
- 39:20Speaker 2: let's let's let's get rid of all start build up.
- 39:24Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean it's different in every sport in
- 39:27Speaker 5: the EPL. You can kind of just take that and
- 39:29Speaker 5: go with it.
- 39:30Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone at some point complains about ownership when they're
- 39:34Speaker 6: watching their respective sport. It happens, right, there's some complaint
- 39:37Speaker 6: to be had, But the resume for winning it all
- 39:41Speaker 6: speaks volumes over the last six years.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, I don't know what else you did.
- 39:46Speaker 5: I don't what else?
- 39:47Speaker 2: What else can you prove? I got one from me?
- 39:50Speaker 6: By the way, we speak of the end of that
- 39:52Speaker 6: Cleveland Knicks game last night. If you missed it, Cleveland
- 39:55Speaker 6: is up by twenty two with seven and a half
- 39:57Speaker 6: to play. The game should have been over by twenty two.
- 40:01Speaker 6: Furious comeback by the Knicks to force overtime, and the
- 40:04Speaker 6: Knicks just dominate overtime. That comeback was fueled by Brunson
- 40:10Speaker 6: who couldn't miss He couldn't miss Brunston do everyone because
- 40:13Speaker 6: he was guarded by James Harden. I ask you, guys,
- 40:17Speaker 6: and this is where matchups matter. If Brunson is facing
- 40:21Speaker 6: Jaden McDaniels, can the Knicks come back?
- 40:25Speaker 5: I don't think so. No, he's no. It's the hardened thing.
- 40:29Speaker 3: Well they were putting. If you remember, I know they're
- 40:31Speaker 3: getting switches Vic. You know what's weird. Dean Wade is
- 40:36Speaker 3: not some big athletic dudes. He's sort of gangly Ya.
- 40:39Speaker 3: When he was guarding Brunton, he did a good job,
- 40:42Speaker 3: but they couldn't keep him on him after all the switches.
- 40:46Speaker 3: A couple more here. First of all, our boy Adam
- 40:50Speaker 3: Foot has been like goo after one year in Vancouver.
- 40:54Speaker 3: So Vancouver making another switch because they just fired their
- 40:56Speaker 3: coach last year as well a lot of rotating doors
- 41:00Speaker 3: going through that organization.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Cans Canucks.
- 41:03Speaker 5: What I mean? Do they are a mess?
- 41:06Speaker 2: They are a mess.
- 41:07Speaker 5: That whole franchise right now is a flippin' wreck.
- 41:11Speaker 2: How about this one though?
- 41:12Speaker 3: The Wow Mavericks just signed on Messiu Jeri as their
- 41:16Speaker 3: president and immediately he decided to head Fire head coach
- 41:20Speaker 3: Jason Kidd. Which doesn't it feel like firing Jason Kidd
- 41:26Speaker 3: and making all these changes within the organization are all
- 41:29Speaker 3: by products of a stupid trade that you made a
- 41:31Speaker 3: couple of years ago.
- 41:32Speaker 6: Well, it's like it was inevitable. It started the avalanche
- 41:35Speaker 6: of sorts.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know you can blame Jason Kidd for
- 41:38Speaker 3: trading away a generational player, but yeah, I go ahead.
- 41:42Speaker 5: Just so weird. I still canne vic till the day
- 41:47Speaker 5: I die. I'm not gonna understand how that trade went
- 41:49Speaker 5: down or why it went down.
- 41:49Speaker 2: I'll never wind. Yeah, the why may not be answered
- 41:52Speaker 2: until the book is written. Just real quick answer this
- 41:54Speaker 2: one for me.
- 41:55Speaker 3: Okay, see after Game one where they lose to the Spurs,
- 41:59Speaker 3: is now now plus thirty five point six per one
- 42:03Speaker 3: better with Shaye off the floor during their playoff run.
- 42:06Speaker 5: That's weird. That is weird.
- 42:09Speaker 2: Better better, that's game one. Let's see how it goes.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Game no, playoff run, playoffs, playoff run.
- 42:19Speaker 6: I think one of the reasons is because they were
- 42:21Speaker 6: so dominant in the first two series. I mean, they
- 42:24Speaker 6: swept and swept everybody on their team. So I think
- 42:27Speaker 6: you're reading but would you rather let me ask you
- 42:30Speaker 6: this if you're running, okse, do you want SGA on
- 42:32Speaker 6: the floor?
- 42:32Speaker 2: Yes or no?
- 42:33Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 42:34Speaker 2: That is weird.
- 42:35Speaker 5: It is weird. It is weird.
- 42:37Speaker 3: You know it's never happened. The nuggets have never been
- 42:40Speaker 3: plus thirty five point six per one hundred better with
- 42:42Speaker 3: joker off the floor. That doesn't exist anyway. Uh oh,
