  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardi and Kane on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two to five and on the Altitude Sports
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Radio App.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I am so excited for tonight. I'm so excited and
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: here's the reason why. And most we talked about this
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a bit yesterday, Hellovic.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen all year.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: From October seventh, when the season started in the Avs
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: beat the La Kings to open up the year, to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: now May twenty, second, Game two of the Western Conference
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Finals against Vegas, we have not seen a desperate ass team.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: They haven't had to be.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: They've been the number one team in hockey all regular season.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: They start the postseason, they win eight of their first
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: nine games, winning their first two series in.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Four and five games.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: And now for the first time, you get to see
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the Avs respond with a.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Little bit of like pressure on them.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: And I think they're the kind of team that's built
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to respond in kind to what this moment is going
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to dictate. But if you go back the closest that
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we got to it was Minnesota last round. You take
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a two to nothing lead, we saw what Minnesota looked
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: like when their Backs were against the wall and desperate.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: They crushed you in Game three because they had the motivation.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And you didn't.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And in that little instance, I think just a small
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: dose of let's not let Minnesota get this series evened up,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the Avs played I think their best game of the postseason.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I think you're in for one of those tonight. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: think that's what they're gonna do to Vegas in a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: much different way because they actually are desperate. You can't
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: go down, oh too.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I think this is exactly what this team was built for.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: And there's there's absolutely nothing wrong with Hey, let's see
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: what you got. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Hey,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: deep down, what do you got? Let's see it? Put
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: it on display.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: The crazy part about Stanley Cup playoff hockey is this
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that doesn't always translate into dubbs because the puck does
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: silly things. Crazy things happen in postseason hockey. But I
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: am confident over a seven game series. If what's in there,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: what I think is in there, comes out and you
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: give it one of these see what you got guys, yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: then it's going to be just fine. That's what I
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: truly believe.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Hockey is a silly game because so many things can
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: factor into the outcome more than most sports. You can
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: dominate a game again, you can dominate everything. I saw
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: something yesterday guys on Deep Analytics Advanced Analytics about how
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: sixty seven percent of the time the Abs win that
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: game based on shots on goal quality, shots, depth of
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: the puck.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: All that business.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Well, they didn't win, and sometimes that happens. Yeah, did
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: it make you feel any better or worse watching Carolina
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: get waxed at home last night?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I was, It didn't make me feel better.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: They're done. Make Carolina's done that. I know that. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: know they swept their way through the first two rounds,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But what I saw last night, I mean, it's over.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Might as well just wrap it up. Yeah, that's seriously,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: That's what I was curious about. It didn't make me
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: feel better or worse that Carolina lost the way that
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they did. And it was weird, mos because Carolina hasn't
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: played for two weeks. The puck drops and thirty seconds
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: later they're up one to nothing. You're like, oh my god,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: nothing stops Carolina, I guess, But then thirty seconds after
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that the game was tied, and then nineteen minutes after that,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: they're down by three heading into the second.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It's just very, very weird.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But I I, it's so funny that you did that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: because one of the first things that I wanted to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: look at was how many people are going to react
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the same way that they did to the Aves.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it is, it's done. I mean, look,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: it's a six to two final. Okay, they gave up
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: four goals in the first period. This team is not
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: ready to play major hockey. Yeah, I mean, honestly, they've
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: just been skating by all your lonely suck.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I wanted to see if that was the same reaction
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and how silly that sounds.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Becausemore, I mean, he's a moron, because we know how
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: good Carolina is and that's why Vic, I know you
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: weren't here yesterday.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It felt and it's weird because me and Mos were
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: both like, obviously disappointed that you lost Game one and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that's not ideal, and the Aves didn't play well enough
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and Vegas earned the win. They played better than you did.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But that did not feel like Vegas had some sort
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of thing that you didn't. It didn't even feel like
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to me. And maybe you disagree that the Avs are
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in trouble because cal mccarr didn't play.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't even feel that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I thought the ass played a pretty decent I agree
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: where things just didn't go their way.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: And then would you guys agree with me?
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Listen, I haven't had a chance to talk with you
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: guys about game one. Let's not use Kal not being
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: there as an excuse. And I don't know if you guys.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Did not an ex No, no, not an excuse.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Now does he make your team better?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Of course he does.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: He's one of the greatest players on the planet. But
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: I thought the Avs had plenty of firepowers.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys did literally step back
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and punch your own face. Of course we didn't.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean now, today, this morning is the real
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: postgame reaction, because I'm probably sure yesterday was a skim
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: milk version of that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I just know this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: They're the better team up and down, they're the better team.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: And a couple of those goals, there's one goal that
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: that Marner move, by the way to your boy Dorfiev, Wow,
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: that was a wow play.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Other than that, I mean, come on, I just think
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: game one came down to you made three or four?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Really crucial mistakes in Vegas because they're a good team
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: capitalized on it. You know, I heard JML he was
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: on with creigman Lindel yesterday and the one that really
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: bothered me mos was the Malinsky turnover on the power play.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And I call it a turnover. It was just the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: desperate we're at the end of the power play. Let
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: me get something to the front of the net, even
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: though I don't have a lane. You throw it off somebody,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: it goes the other way. Now there's a two on one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: This is John Michael Lyles on that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: I get what he's trying to do. He's trying to create,
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: you know, that last couple of seconds of offense, so
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: you know, trying to take advantage of still having that
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: man advantage. But you know, that's the one thing that
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: you cannot do there. If you're Sam Malinsky, your job
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: there is you have to get that puck by the
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: top forward. You cannot get that block at the end
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: of a power play because you know, it very well
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: could have been a breakaway for Hunting coming out of
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: the box. Or you know, if it's anybody else, if
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: it's a you know, William Carlson or a Jack Eichel
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: coming out of the box. I mean it's you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: it's even worse, much more dangerous. Yeah, exactly.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Those are the things, like the little things that you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: couldn't do in Game one. You did them, they cost you,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and now you have a chance to come back from it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: The The kel mccarr question is an interesting one. If
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: he's not good enough to go in game one, I
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: don't know how forty eight hours is going to make
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the world a difference for him to going game too.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Especially if it's just a pain threshold thing. If it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: a pain threshold and the pain is the same, what's
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: the difference.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Like, if this is me I am preparing everything today,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: is if he's not forget just this game that he's
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: not gonna play in the series, that's why I fare
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: I and that's the fear I have. I agree with you.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, clearly you're humble, rediculous. Attempt at journalism didn't
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: work on the day we had the coach that backfire badle.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Did you guys talk about that?
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Look at me?
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: I asked creative questions and I get the truth. How'd
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: that work out for you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You can go ahead and chastise me all you.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Oh look at me, everybody watch this. I'm gonna ask
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: this question really creatively and get the coach to tell
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: us if he's playing.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: How'd that work out?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I think circumstances changed.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Uh huh, Hey everybody, I'm gonna draw up this cool
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: question and get him to tell us. Break the news here,
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: and then go on Twitter and tell everybody he's playing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: Yes, I would.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: What do you want me to do?
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: How was this my fault? I'm just joking. Oh I
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: saw that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, I saw that car crash coming along?
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Why do you think I told you?
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: What do you think he was gonna say?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: What do you mean he did give an hand?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Don't.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know what happened. Okay, I don't know what happened.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I do agree with.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: You on this, and moj I don't know if you
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: have any other information. I wouldn't be surprised if he
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: misses the entire entire series.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't be surprised. I have no idea, absolutely no. I
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: know you don't skated again yesterday, Vick again. I don't
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: know whether it's things are healing, you know, or it's
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: pay it's probably a combination of everything. I truly do
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: not know. I wish I did. There's probably only really
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: one person who knows, and that's him.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, did you guys talk about that dive that led
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: to the power play that led to the tune.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: We talked about it, But what we talked about it
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: consistent of what we talked about, consistent of Yeah, it
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: was a total dive. Well here's what I said, Oh
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: my god, should we go and check on him at
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: the hospital?
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Is he is? He? Is?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: He?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: And I see you? Is it? I mean? And then
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Bret's ha ha ha. The fact of the matter is
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: if your Colton just.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Don't can't put himself in that spot, especially when you
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: go down one.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: One nothing on that tough goal. Don don't do that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I's don't go high. Don't go high with it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, listen, I don't even think it's wrong
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: with going high. Guys sold it big time. I'm not
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: even sure. Look from what I've seen this postseason, it's
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: not even a penalty. Except dude, what full Greg lougainis.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Here's my sort of reaction to it, was, I understand
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: it to dive Ross Colton can't put himself in a
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: position when you go down one to nothing in a
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: tight game to take a frustration penalty.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And that's what that was. That wasn't a hockey thing.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That was I'm frustrated, so I'm gonna give him one
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of these and you.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Got popped for it. And yes, I understand that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: At the end of the first period when Cadrick got
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: punched in the face, same thing could have been called.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Well it wasn't okay, big deal, As Dick.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Winners would say, late, great Dick Winners. Never put yourself
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: in a position where you can take from these men.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Don't put yourself in that position. Yeah, but look all
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: this being said, Vic, what today's game two. I mean,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry you were out gallivanting around the stratosphere yesterday
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: and flying to the moon or whatever it is you did,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: raising good bread. I get that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I flew to the moon because you know, I'm
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: the first person who wants to fly to the moon.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: We we're getting ready for game two tonight.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I got you.
• 11:21
  Speaker 10: I'll be there with you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I'm already through the windshield if you want to, if
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: you want to rear view mirror this thing for the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: you know, first twelve minutes of the program. Take it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: In fact, I'll tell you what. Take you what look,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: camp Camper, you get it all out. I'm just gonna
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: sit here and chill while you gonna get it all out,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: get it out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: I am not a lot of people have asked, you know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: what do you think? I'm not fearful at all. Now
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: they lose tonight and I'm.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Fearful they use tonight.
• 11:49
  Speaker 10: What would we agree there? They lose tonight and I
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: scar scared.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: But right now I just think, okay, first serve was
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: a fast one couldn't get a racket on it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Now you're ready, Now you're ready, Let's see what they
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: can do.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: I base a lot of weird day?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: What what happened?
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I have never heard vic use a tennis analogy for
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: hockey before. This is a weird day.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I like it well, I base And we'll get back
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: to this in a second.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I think you can tell a lot about how players
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: feel about their chances in a series, good or bad,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: by not just what they say, but also the tone
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: in which they say it. And I'll give you an
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: example here in just a second. When we come back,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Nate Nanny, you're gonna be live from Ballpoint inside ball
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Arena this afternoon, taking me through pregame of game one
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: of the Western Conference Final. Tune in for the only
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: live show inside the arena starting at three pm. It's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: powered by the dan Kaplis Law Firm, a serious firm
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: for serious cases.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Stack copy?
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: What why do you need to see the copy? What's
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: going on?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna set me off today?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I just read what was on here? What's your issue?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: It's the wrong page, it's right here. I don't know
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: what most you's trying to do is game two.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: It's not game one.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Jesus, pay attention. Look, man, I'm just I just read things, okay.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Unlike Vic, I can read, and I read exactly what's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: in front of me. Don't bike yourself, san Diego.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Uh So they'll be there inside of Ballpoint.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I'm already I'm already like sitting on a spring. As
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: you can tell, Vick, I'm not. I'm the furthest thing
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: from that, sure, But you're Ron Burgundy and now he's
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: got I von Lindall and friggin Roscoe Tanner on his
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: mind talking about serves and whatnot.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You could have very easily just said it's game two
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: night game one instead Maine and the whole show about it.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: First Serve was one that really was tough to get
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: a racking on because it had some serious topspin.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: That's a pretty good analogy, it really is. I'm gonna
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: give you credit.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: And so now you're prepared for the SERF because you've
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: gone a full week without facing serves.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: It doesn't it's not even to me. Look, I think
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: they need to win this game. Yeah, if they do
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: go down too, oh, you're gonna be going, oh, Mama,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: now you gotta go to Vegas down oh two, oh God,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: that will be the feeling. But I want to see
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: how they play. I want to see how they respond.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I want to see what it looks like. I want
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: to see Cole Jones, and I think you're going to
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: see big Ones.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I take my cues from the tone of players after
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the game, and I want you to hear the tone
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: of one.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Nathan McKinnon next, Get it, Stevie.

  Speaker 3: So here's what I want to get to.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I think that especially when you have seven game series
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: in the postseason and you get the result of a
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: game or a couple of games, and people go postgame
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: throw microphones in these players' faces and be like, hey,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: what happened tonight?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Good or bad?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You get a tone in a sense for how players'
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: confidence levels are. And I'll make it comparison. We were
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: all jarred after Game two against the Minnesota Timberwolves when
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: a microphone was thrown in the face of Jaden McDaniels
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: in a one to one series and he said, Hey, Jokic, Gordon,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Murray Brown, do do do they all suck at defense?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: We're like, Wow, I've never heard somebody speak that way.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: That is spoken from a place of complete confidence. That
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: guy does not say that if he thinks they're losing
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a series. He says that if he thinks you're going
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to win a series. And you can take it from
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the tone, not just what he says, but how he
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: says it. And I want you to listen to Nathan
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: McKinnon after the first game in the locker room talking
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: about what went wrong.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Here's what he said, Yeah, weird chances.
• 16:19
  Speaker 11: You know, they didn't do a whole lot either. It
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: was kind of a nothing game and then they got
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: a few goals and really good team obviously, but I
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: thought we did a lot of damage to ourself. Yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: just guys kind of everywhere. Execution, Like I said, need
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: to be better and you know, obviously we're capable of
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: being ordering that.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Hey what went wrong? And he went, uh, you know.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: They nothing was really happening.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: They got a couple of goal.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: The whole tone of that to me is like we're.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Fine, Yeah, we're fine. Agreed, he got In fact, he
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: got frustrated over it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: This first thing to really take from how that game
• 16:56
  Speaker 11: in Dada is I've just said execution like five ft wes.
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: I think that's what.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Her is like.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: That did not sound like somebody that was like, oh god,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: this team's got our number. We got to change this
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and that and this and that. He just the tone
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: again to me, was just one of they threw in
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a couple of cheap goals. We kind of like screwed
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: up and.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: We'll be fine like that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: That's the feel that I got from Nate, like, I'm
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: fully expecting tonight, a very disciplined style which wasn't maybe
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: there in Game one at times, and.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: You're not going to be perfect, you know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: It was the same battle that we kind of got
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: into yesterday Mo's with some textures and guys like that
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: that they got this morning. The appetizer, which is, how
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: can you really say that the Avs have played well
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: this postseason? I'm like, yes, I think the team that's
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: won eight of nine games going into the first game
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: of this series played well in this postseason. And I
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: don't know if you're expecting perfection for sixty minutes a night.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you play like crap for a few minutes because
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: it's sports and that's what happens. But yes, this team
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: has played very, very well, and out of all the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: things I think they've been best at, would you say
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: discipline has probably been the number one thing that maybe
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: was fleeting a bit in Game.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: One a little bit, I'd say so, yeah. I mean, look,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: we've said you got to stay out of the box,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: and Vegas went one for two in the power play.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: You're gonna take penalties it's gonna happen, but try to
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: stay is disciplined in that regard as you possibly can
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: stay disciplined positionally. But I'm just I'm telling you right now,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: the game is going to go so much quicker for
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: the Avalanche tonight. Things are going to be quicker. Connections
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: are going to be better. Again, you had eight days off,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: You're gonna that's going to pick up. It's going to amplify. Now,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: doesn't guarantee Jack Squad. I'm just telling you, I know
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: this is going to be a better team tonight.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: And because they're going to be a better team and
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: committed to what they do best, I think the odds
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: of them winning are.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Very good most Yes, Vic, how important is that first goal?
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: I would say, well, I would love to have it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I would love for the fs to have the first
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: goal tonight. I don't think it's absolutely imperative.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Carolina scored thirty seconds in last.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Now and then got waxed.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's again. I don't want to sound cliche, but
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: this is a long series. Okay, it's a long series.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: A lot of things can happen in the span of
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: a long series. Even if they would lose tonight, but
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: if they played their game and played it really well,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: it made me feel good.
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: Is this team is easy?
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't know. I wouldn't be happy, would Okay, Well,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: you can't lose. Hen lose.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: No, you can't.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Series is over if you do.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, it is all right now you're going.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Well, But then then then then let me then let
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: me expand upon my thoughts here. I just I know
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: what's in that room. If it doesn't come out, if
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: it doesn't show itself, I will be remarkably surprised and disappointing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Okay, who played well?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: In your eyes, Logan O'Connor.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I thought the entire line played pretty damn well. I
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: thought loc I thought Drury, I thought Parker Kelly all
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: played well. Again. Val give Al Actrician some credit. I
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: was talking people during the game. Well, he's not doing
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: anything so well. He just drew a penalty. He just was.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: He just was like a ball in a china shop
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: bringing it into the zone. He had three Vegas guys
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: hell of a four check scored a goal. I mean,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: you know, I I I don't think everybody was. In fact,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think anybody was really bad. I don't think
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: they were bad.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I will say this when VIC asked the question, though,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: who played well? And our go to is naming like
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: two or three fourth liners. That needs to start with
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: McKinnon and Natus in brock Nelson and guys. That's where
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: it's got to start. Those guys got play well and.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Best guys have to be your best guys.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, look, it's not that they were
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: bad in that game on on Wednesday, but it wasn't
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: good enough given the circumstance of being out a top
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: five player in the world. And that's you know what
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: we were talking about for a little bit yesterday, Vic,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: was when you were missing a player of the caliber
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: of cal mccarr. It is not on Jack Ashan to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: go out and elevate his game. It's on McKinnon, it's
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: on Nachus, it's on brock Nelson. It's on those guys
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to do it. The better players now have to take
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: a step up in their game, and at times they
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: were dangerous. But it wasn't enough for me, and I really,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: you know, I went back and looked at some of
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: these numbers from Carter Hart, who to his credit, had
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: a great game one motion, great game.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: One brilliant Game one for him.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yep, Carter Hart has been talked about as if he
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: has just found this amazing sort of like resurgence and
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and he's blossoming in his career and it all started
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: in this postseason.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Do you know what the Utah series looked like.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he gave up two, three, four, four four in
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: one against Utah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: That's not a stone wall between the pipes. That's the guy.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, you won the series. He played well. Not taking
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: anything away from him, that's that. Pitching three shutouts in
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: five games.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: He can be had. You need to keep on him.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: And I really they tested him. I'm not saying that
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: they didn't in Game one. I think they can do
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: better at creating some chaos in front of him. I
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: think they can do better at picking spots and getting
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: pucks on net. You know, there's a few times I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: thought that Brock had a prime opportunity I think was
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: in the second period, and he's right in front of
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Carter hert and plants it right in his chest as
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: opposed to trying to hit a spot to make.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Him work for this.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: If they can do that early in this game, I
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: want to see how Carter Hart responds, if you put
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: a cup on him in the first perier.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I completely agree. He's not a rookie by any means. No,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: but he's taking over the rings. That's the number one
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: guy now for Vegas. He feels like a rookie. May
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: I mean you can think of him that way. I mean,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: he had plenty of time in Philly before all the
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: legal stuff and whatever else. But the fact of the
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: matter is is that is that he's not Look I thought, yes, pervalstet,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: I think he's a very good goaltender. He's going to
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: be their number one. Gustafson's his contract. I don't believe
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: is even if you look that up for me, please, Brett,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: you're really good with the computer. I don't think his
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: contracts even kicked in yet. And they're going, yeah, and
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to move him out of Minnesota likely.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: I mean they'll want to move him because they'll want
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: to free up that money to make their team even better,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: because they've got a new young number one.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I don't like a Phillip with an F.
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: By the way, but Philip Forsburg, that's a year, phil.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, his contract starts next year. You go, it's
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: six point eight per all the way through twenty thirty one.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: What's oh, yes, per making I already know, Oh what
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: is it? Less than a mill?
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: So if you can free up six point what you
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: see what I'm saying, So.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Six point eight per year through twenty thirty one fall
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: step by the way, it's not less than a million,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: it's two point two.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Two point same thing. So you see where I'm going
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: That's what I meant.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: That's what I meant. I just thought that that kid's
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: a pretty good goalie, and you beat him. You beat
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: him good. I mean, you've beaten some of the best
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: goalies and Planet Earth. It's twenty two man, Andrey Vassilevski
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: was probably never higher in his game than he was
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: at that moment. Then you beat him. You know how
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: to do it, you know what to do. Go do it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: You should have heard this, Vic. It was amazing.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yesterday Mosier is trying to recap what happened back in
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Was it twenty twenty one, the last series against Vegas?
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: No, it was the Stars and After series Stars as
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: a series last year and literally got everything wrong forgot everything.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I got a game, I got a game behind in
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: my head and I kept I kept saying that's incorrect,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: and he all he kept saying to me was that's
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: what I meant my motion. I'm gonna I did get
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: games five, six, and seven right though, I did once
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: we got to the end of the series, Vic, I was
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: right on the money.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna defend you because we're a member of the
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: olds now. And what happens when you recollect anything, even
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: that happened last week, you confuse certain games. It happens
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: a lot like I'm thinking back to last year's Nuggets
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: OKC series and I'm confusing certain games and I can't
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: remember the difference between game one and two.
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: So I'm with you, e mos, it's okay allow him
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: to be old.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Are you making fun of old people this year?
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: Pop pop ems?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Don't just sit there and be old. See your fence over.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I am not going to have I will. I can
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: give in to you. I will not sit here and
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: let you use my own good stuff against me.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yes.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: And the last thing is I think I just made
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: it look too easy. So I just I feel good
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: about tonight. Guys. I don't know what else to tell you. Vic,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: did you watch any of the clips online or anything.

• 26:26
  Speaker 4: of thing, did you I'm not going to watch.

• 26:33
  Speaker 4: program yesterday all over the place.

  Speaker 6: What do you think the chances were of me watching
• 26:38

• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: You do have to remember a Vic did take yesterday

• 27:09

• 27:17

• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Easy, three facts, your honor, I present to you these
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: pieces of evidence. First, Vick Lombardi has been on record,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: under the threat of perjury, that taking a day off
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: for your birthday is a cardinal sin.
• 27:37

• 27:38
  Speaker 4: It's been agreed upon since day one of this show.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: We do not Marty would do it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: But he was soft, and I mean more, I mean
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: them more today than any day.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: He's soft.

• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was our dear Vick Lombardi's birthday, right, happy fifty seventh.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: The third piece of evidence I will present to you,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: your Honor, is that Vick Lombardy did take yesterday off.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Yes he did, which coincided with his birth.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: I tell the rest of the story. Now tell the
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: rest of the story.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: No, rest of the story. Yesterday off and it was
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: your birthdays.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: That's all. That's all the jury needs to hear. Vic. Okay,
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: they would convict you in a heartbeat.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: I won't.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: They wouldn't even have to adjourn to the discussion.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, No, no, no, your honor. Can I add one
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: more piece of evidence?
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Please?
• 28:24

• 33:26
  Speaker 4: All right, sounds good? Get you ready for tonight again?
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: I cannot. It's really sad, I think for everybody in
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Raleigh and beyond. It's just sad joke of a team,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: joke of a franchise. Rod Brindemore doesn't know what he's
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: doing whatsoever. All their players are soft losers, right, sound
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: about right? Yeah?
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: I mean a bunch of bombings.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Come on, man, Carolina got wax last night. That first
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: period could never recover. They go, they got, They got
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: wanted the second to close the gap to two, and
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: then Montreal decided, okay, we're gonna keep playing our game
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: and they pot two. I mean, that's just the way
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: it is, man, it happens. Sometimes you get got. Okay,
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: you can't tell me that Carolina hurt. Rod brindan Moore
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: is an outstanding coach. That team is. They may not
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: have like the they've got really good players. Don't get
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: me wrong. They don't have the McKinnon, they don't have
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: them a car. But what they got are a lot
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: of guys who look alike and they kick ass.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Hell. They don't have anymore.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Does don't have been part of my language, VIC, But
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: but they got a lot of really good players.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Does the long time off for both teams?
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: You think that affected both teams and the Hurricanes.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's any doubt, abdd it. I just think, VIC,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: the word that I used yesterday regarding game one, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: now we're looking forward to game two. But the word
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I used, and what did Jared Bennar say? He said
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: it was, Oh, I don't know about I forget what
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: he the exact warning he used, I use hesitancy. I
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: saw in the puck movement out of the zone in
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: the neutral zone, I saw guys a little disconnected, and
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: I saw hesitancy this well.
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: Number one, you can't baby the puck around the ice.
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: The salver your past goes to the open man, the quicker.
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: They're gonna get out there, right, So I felt like
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: there was opportunities to make earlier, quicker decisions and zip
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: the puck card. I mean, they're all pros out there,
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: so you give your guy a little extra time. I
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: think showing him some of the plays with the guys open,
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: even if it's just a D to D to be
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: able to sustain time and find alane.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: It doesn't necessarily have to be a shot on net.
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: Just get a playable puck around the net, pass that
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: first layer, and you can come up with some dangerous
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: chances if we're in the right spots. And again that
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: kind of goes to me to the execution, to our
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: guys not seeing it quick enough tonight.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I think that was the case maybe in the puck
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: around a little bit slights and see here guy not
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: presenting himself quickly enough there. I mean, you may have
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: you may be ready for a killer outlet pass, but
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: if that guy's not, if he's not ready for it,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: not looking for it, he do is throw it off
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: his leg into the zoontomy. So it's these things where
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: you're just off a tick vic I expect them to
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: be much better tonight much.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I think that there is a huge sort of gap
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: between what that game sort of resulted in in what
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the game felt like. Now, still you didn't do the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: requisite things that you had to. And Vegas is one
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: of those teams, and go back and look, guys, Vegas gets.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Out shot a lot. It's kind of what their style is.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: They don't dominate you as far as pure scoring opportunities,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: and you know, putting forty shots on goal of night,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: they get outshot at. What they do is they execute
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: when you present an opportunity to them. And that's what
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: they did in Game one. When you bounce one like
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Malensky did at the end of a power play, they
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: get a two on one. Going the other way, they finished.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: When they had a four on three in a zero
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: to zero game thirty three minutes into it, they finish.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: That's what they're excellent at is capitalizing on opportunities given
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: to them. I think what the Avs need to do
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: is just create more scoring chances. You went through the
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: numbers yesterday mode what they have eighty shots total, eighty
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: attempts correct, and I think they can bump that number
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: up even more.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: I do too. In fact, really, Vick, when I watched
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: the Abs this year, and I told Brett, I track
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: this from game to game. When I've watched the Avs
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: this year, their wheelhouse, like when they're humming their wheelhouse,
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: They've gotten ninety attempts at the front of the net.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: That's humming. I mean, I like it to be. I'm
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: a WEIRDI so I like it to be ninety two.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Let's say total attempts. That means you're humming.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: That means you're getting shots on goal. For sure, some
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: are gonna be blocked, no doubt about. But you're getting
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: shots on goal, and you're creating havoc in the offensive zone.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: You're firing that pup, guys are retrieving it, you're getting
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: second opportunities. That's when you're really humming. And they had eighty,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Vegas only had fifty two. What they do do well
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: is what they did well in game one. They'll CounterPunch
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: very well. They'll take advantage of you screwing up this much.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Then you're flying rubberd dog dog out of Hong Kong.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: All right, have a very important question to ask, and
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: I'll ask it to YouTube, but I'll also ask it
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: to my lady from groc.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: To see if she knows the answer to this. And
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: here's the question.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: When is the last time the Colorado Avalanche won a
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: playoff series in which they lost the first game at home?
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Okay, hey cutie, all right, waiting for the answer. Do
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: you guys know before?
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I know?
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: All right, Well she's taken forever.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Is it your birthday?
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: Rock?
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: What is it?
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: It was two years ago against Winnipeg. They lost seven
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: to six Game one against Winnipeg. Remember those were all
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the Georg you have questions about.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: That was d road?
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: That was on the road. Oh at home, you said, I'm.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Just curious at home?
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: Now, I remember way back they lost the first two
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: to Detroit at home, went to Detroit down oh two,
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: and then won four straight.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: That was way back when, dude, that's way back. Yeah,
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: that's way back.
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you were born back then, Brett,
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: he was a little baby.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Let's see, I'm still looking here.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Boo boo booo.
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: You remember that series?
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Nope, I guess not.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Uh, it's a good question, Vic, Was that like ninety
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: eight ninety That must have been like ninety eight, ninety nine. Wait,
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: so ninety nine two thousand?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Did your girl just totally give up on you or what?
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: She never answered the question?
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Well, that's pretty rude. You're the voice Denver wakes up to.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: Let me answer the question. I'm just asking you to
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: answer the question. I'll ask it one more time, pretty easy.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: When is the last time the Colorado Avalanche lost the
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: first game of a playoff series at home and then
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: came back to win that series.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: Answer the question, lady, uh.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Nineteen ninety nine Western Conference semi final, San Jose Sharks.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: I hate that sound, by the way, that that sounds
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: got to get fixed. What'd you say, Bosh two thousand
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: and eight against the Minnesota Wild in the first round.
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: They dropped game two at home, but won the series
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: four to two.
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: I didn't say game two, exactive. I didn't say game two.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: I said game one. She has been offer.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Nope, that's not true either. They started that series in Minnesota.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nineteen ninety nine against the San Jose Sharks. They
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: won four games to two.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, so it's been a minute now, I to be honest.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Brett, Hey, Brett Britt, nineteen ninety nine. You know, Brine, Well, well, the.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Reason I bring that up is it's just ten It's
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: it's not you know, it's it's tenable. It's not untenable.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: You can do it.
• 41:17
  Speaker 10: But when they won the Cup, they won every opening game, correct.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: They also lost two critical game fives on the whole
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: ice in that playoff run.
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: When they won the Cup in twenty two, they never
• 41:33
  Speaker 10: trailed the.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Series, that is correct.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: You know, we were talking about this yesterday, and I
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: do believe that the Apps have a very good opportunity
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: and I think a real chance here because this, to
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: me is it comes down to a simple detail, and
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: it's the way that you feel in this sort of manner.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Do you trust what the Avs have as an organization
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: that despite losing that game one, that they're going to
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: bounce back? And I think that answer is absolutely yes.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: I trust them.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I trust people in the front office, I trust the coach,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I trust the leadership on the team that they will
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: bounce back in a huge way. To the point to
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: wear I would not be surprised at all they take
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: the next two and take control of the series.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Again.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Look, man vic I said this yesterday along these same lines.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Have they ever given you a reason to not trust
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: them this year? No? No, And until they until they
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: do give you a reason to not trust them, then
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: trust them.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree with you.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: How about your boy biz on spitting chick lits saying quote,
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: if there's no mccarr, this series is over, They're done.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I want to talk about that in just a second,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: because I understand as well as everybody else does the
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: importance of cal mccarr but if he's not able to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: go again tonight, which who knows. I don't know how
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: much difference of forty eight hours makes to your health
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: and whether you're good enough to play or not.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: But we'll get to it in just a second.
