- 0:44Speaker 2: nine to six.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Colorado won a lead for the Avs after Game one
- 0:52Speaker 4: against the Minnesota Wild. I actually was wondering this, you know, uh,
- 0:56Speaker 4: with the battle that we've had, the state of colorad
- 1:00Speaker 4: o versus the state of Minnesota, and we hate each other,
- 1:02Speaker 4: I wondered what the carryover would be. I don't feel
- 1:04Speaker 4: like any of it.
- 1:05Speaker 5: Oh, I feel it.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Thank you for cleansing the soul Avalanche.
- 1:08Speaker 4: Thank are you still getting grief from people in Minnesota?
- 1:11Speaker 6: Dude?
- 1:11Speaker 5: It's oh, trust me when I say this. Yeah, the
- 1:16Speaker 5: Avs can ill afford to lose this series. Ill afford
- 1:21Speaker 5: or you will be broken. You will carry the flag,
- 1:24Speaker 5: You will carry the entire responsibility of a community. You
- 1:29Speaker 5: will do that, and you will do it with pride
- 1:31Speaker 5: and energy and last night. Thank goodness, because when it
- 1:34Speaker 5: was three nothing, I thought the game was over.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Did you Yeah?
- 1:39Speaker 6: I totally did.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Did you yeah?
- 1:40Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:41Speaker 3: Did ever that over?
- 1:42Speaker 6: But I thought it was over.
- 1:43Speaker 3: I felt I thought it was over. I thought they
- 1:45Speaker 3: were going to pour it on. I thought it was over.
- 1:47Speaker 3: And then.
- 1:49Speaker 5: That team comes back and takes the lead.
- 1:52Speaker 6: Yeah, crazy, unreal.
- 1:54Speaker 4: I actually I didn't even feel comfortable when it was
- 1:57Speaker 4: eight six late, So.
- 1:58Speaker 6: Hold on a seconds.
- 1:59Speaker 4: Once Canon score, the empty netter is like, okay, fine, it's.
- 2:01Speaker 7: Seven to five and I've got to go to the
- 2:03Speaker 7: hallway to do a postgame interview. Turned out it was
- 2:06Speaker 7: Martin agious dude sleep. But as I'm walking through the doors,
- 2:11Speaker 7: Vic and I'm walking toward the locker room and the
- 2:14Speaker 7: screen is out there scars a GIRLA it's seven to six.
- 2:19Speaker 7: I'm like, you got you have got to be kidding me.
- 2:23Speaker 7: They hadn't, they didn't even pull Ballstead yet, had even
- 2:27Speaker 7: yanked him, and they're under four minutes to go. Now
- 2:31Speaker 7: it's seven to six. I'm like, you have got to
- 2:33Speaker 7: be kidding Matt.
- 2:34Speaker 5: Last goal was crazy how it got into the net.
- 2:37Speaker 5: There were some goals where you're like, Okay, now it's
- 2:39Speaker 5: getting stupid. But at the same time, Minnesota could have
- 2:43Speaker 5: scored several more goals.
- 2:44Speaker 6: No, well, the Apps could have scored. The Avs had
- 2:46Speaker 6: nine last night. Dude.
- 2:47Speaker 7: Do you know how many other glorious opportunities they had? Yeah,
- 2:51Speaker 7: I mean, Carey had another couple of glorious opportunities. Nelson
- 2:56Speaker 7: had one in the slot, and I'm like, it could
- 3:00Speaker 7: have been they could have scored thirteen a Baker's doesn't
- 3:04Speaker 7: I'm not kidding, dude.
- 3:05Speaker 6: That's how crazy that game was.
- 3:07Speaker 7: It's going to be a lot different obviously in game
- 3:10Speaker 7: number two, but I'm walking so then I'm just I'm like,
- 3:12Speaker 7: this can't be happening.
- 3:14Speaker 6: The my car scores and I'm like, shoo, yeah, okay,
- 3:18Speaker 6: now we're.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Gonna pull vall Stead.
- 3:19Speaker 7: They're not going to score two here to tie or okay,
- 3:22Speaker 7: and then the empty letter from Date.
- 3:23Speaker 5: I wonder what kind of impact giving up nine of them?
- 3:27Speaker 5: Well eight one was a shorthander, giving up eight what
- 3:30Speaker 5: impact will it have on that young Zeitish goalie.
- 3:34Speaker 7: I think he's pretty resilient, but he hasn't had anything
- 3:38Speaker 7: close to this in a long probably since he was
- 3:41Speaker 7: with the Iowa Wild.
- 3:42Speaker 5: Like, what does it do to your brain when you
- 3:44Speaker 5: know you just gave up almost you almost gave up
- 3:47Speaker 5: double digit goals.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Well, when you say he hasn't had anything close to this,
- 3:50Speaker 4: do you just mean like the pressure of a playoff
- 3:53Speaker 4: series or.
- 3:53Speaker 7: A game like, No, I'm talking about giving up eight goals. Yeah,
- 3:56Speaker 7: I mean and both coaches in a game where fifteen
- 4:00Speaker 7: total goals were scored.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Yeah, do you ever think about, you know, maybe change
- 4:05Speaker 6: it again.
- 4:05Speaker 5: No, not at all, because I think both coaches understood
- 4:08Speaker 5: that it wasn't the goalies that is.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Well, I mean it was complete breakdowns.
- 4:12Speaker 5: Well, you can make the case most they gave up
- 4:13Speaker 5: a couple that should have been stopped.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Oh, here's Betsy after the game on Wedgwood.
- 4:19Speaker 8: Well, it wasn't his best. That being said, on the
- 4:22Speaker 8: defensive side of things, it was probably no one on
- 4:26Speaker 8: our team's best. By group them in with the rest
- 4:29Speaker 8: of the team, you know, we have to get better
- 4:31Speaker 8: and we'll do that for game two. Yeah, but he's
- 4:35Speaker 8: been great for us. Give us a chance to win,
- 4:36Speaker 8: Give us a chance to win tonight. You know, like
- 4:38Speaker 8: their goalie played amazing in the Dallas series and he
- 4:43Speaker 8: let in a bunch tonight too, So it's you know,
- 4:46Speaker 8: most of the things that we're dealing with aren't just
- 4:48Speaker 8: exclusive to us either. It's you know, they'll be going
- 4:51Speaker 8: through the same things and trying to get better. And
- 4:53Speaker 8: I'm sure both teams will be better defensively come Game two,
- 4:56Speaker 8: and we'll keep trying to push it the same way
- 4:58Speaker 8: we have offensively.
- 5:00Speaker 6: That's exactly it.
- 5:02Speaker 7: They're gonna be saying the same thing in their room.
- 5:05Speaker 7: But they're down one to zero.
- 5:07Speaker 5: That team has some buzz the Minnesota Wild sure, and
- 5:11Speaker 5: that's a scary team when they get buzzing. In no doubt,
- 5:15Speaker 5: I think Josh Manson is going to be vitally important
- 5:18Speaker 5: his return, and I don't know how close he is.
- 5:21Speaker 5: Perhaps that four day off between Games two and three
- 5:24Speaker 5: will be very skated.
- 5:25Speaker 6: He skated the past couple of days.
- 5:27Speaker 7: He did participate a little bit in morning skate yesterday VIC,
- 5:31Speaker 7: but he did not take any He was not defending
- 5:33Speaker 7: any rushes or anything of that nature.
- 5:34Speaker 5: Because for the first period last night, you were missing
- 5:36Speaker 5: not only the best defender in the world in Cayle mccarr,
- 5:39Speaker 5: you're missing your best banger, your best defender that can
- 5:41Speaker 5: bang well.
- 5:42Speaker 7: Then you were also missing Sam Maliski for a while
- 5:44Speaker 7: because he took a puck in the water.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Uh, in the face, in the mouth, right in the mouth,
- 5:49Speaker 5: right in the mouth.
- 5:50Speaker 4: He's missing too. It looks like a real defenseman.
- 5:54Speaker 6: Well, he had the cut above his eye. In fact, I.
- 5:57Speaker 7: Interviewed him yesterday before the game, and the stitches are out,
- 6:01Speaker 7: but that scar is still there. That's a compression cut.
- 6:04Speaker 7: So when he gets hit, his helmet comes down, it
- 6:05Speaker 7: cuts his eye, cuts his eye.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I'd like to see his mouth right now, though. Did
- 6:09Speaker 3: you get a look at it afterwards?
- 6:11Speaker 6: I did not. I mean I did.
- 6:13Speaker 4: It's back, but he's missing a tooth. I think I
- 6:17Speaker 4: don't think he was missing a tooth before last night.
- 6:20Speaker 4: He had to pop the tooth. The gosh, man, can
- 6:23Speaker 4: you imagine that doctor.
- 6:24Speaker 5: How quickly that doctors trying to get those stitches in,
- 6:26Speaker 5: and you have to look a.
- 6:28Speaker 6: You're already down to five, down to four. Knum him up,
- 6:31Speaker 6: let's go, man.
- 6:33Speaker 5: It's like it's like a pit crew and NASCAR pit crew.
- 6:36Speaker 5: Somebody's face up.
- 6:37Speaker 4: Think about this, though, Kale, and this was pretty nerve wracking.
- 6:41Speaker 4: He comes back from the tunnel, he goes to the bench,
- 6:43Speaker 4: he tries to get on the ice and he's like, Nope,
- 6:45Speaker 4: that doesn't feel right. The period ends, he jumps back
- 6:47Speaker 4: on the ice to skate a little bit and like
- 6:50Speaker 4: he's testing it out, and you're like, oh my god,
- 6:52Speaker 4: what is he that hurt? And then he scores two
- 6:55Speaker 4: goals after coming back.
- 6:57Speaker 7: I thought Jered Bednor had a great commentary on Kal.
- 7:01Speaker 7: I don't know if we have that cut or not,
- 7:02Speaker 7: because he spoke for quite a while last night. I'm
- 7:05Speaker 7: not sure if Steve can find it for maybe later.
- 7:08Speaker 7: But he basically said, look, yeah, you know, he wasn't sure.
- 7:10Speaker 7: Could he go? He said, but as he he was
- 7:13Speaker 7: tentative at first, but as he got going, he said
- 7:15Speaker 7: I can trust this, and then he just continued to play.
- 7:18Speaker 7: And he also said this, and you know this to
- 7:20Speaker 7: be true, and Brett, you do too. Everybody's got something. Yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 7: I mean that you're like something sore, something's this, something's
- 7:27Speaker 7: that everybody on both sides is probably are. Most guys
- 7:30Speaker 7: are fighting through something, and you just go and do
- 7:35Speaker 7: it because you know what it is, Brett.
- 7:37Speaker 6: The Stanley Cup.
- 7:37Speaker 7: Playoffs, Jack, Well, it'll wait around for you to get healthy.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Mccarr did say this after the game, and this is
- 7:43Speaker 4: I totally agree with him here. I said, this is
- 7:45Speaker 4: to kind of start. I think there's a number of
- 7:48Speaker 4: different things that happened in that game that led to
- 7:50Speaker 4: nine to six that are just a little bit weird.
- 7:53Speaker 4: You know, long break for the abs, maybe a little
- 7:55Speaker 4: bit rusty, that sort of thing. On the defensive side.
- 8:00Speaker 4: I do think that first of all, not having Manson's
- 8:02Speaker 4: a big blow to your blue line. Second of all,
- 8:05Speaker 4: when Klee leaves for a period, that's compounding, and then
- 8:09Speaker 4: Malinsky leaves taking a puck to the face that compounds
- 8:11Speaker 4: even more. But he said, this.
- 8:13Speaker 9: Just a weird game. Obviously, coming from the last few
- 8:17Speaker 9: games you played, it was really tight up there. It
- 8:18Speaker 9: felt like did not work generating a lot, and today
- 8:21Speaker 9: it just felt a little bit more open. And sometimes
- 8:24Speaker 9: that can be a tendency to kind of lack a
- 8:26Speaker 9: little bit on the defensive side. And I feel like
- 8:28Speaker 9: on both sides of the teams it happened a little
- 8:30Speaker 9: bit tonight, and I don't think we're going to see
- 8:31Speaker 9: that again. I think it's just probably a one off.
- 8:34Speaker 9: I like that we were able to stick with it,
- 8:35Speaker 9: didn't find a way to win obviously in a unique way.
- 8:38Speaker 4: So this I'd explain it this way. And first of all,
- 8:41Speaker 4: I totally agree with them. This is a one off.
- 8:43Speaker 4: You aren't going to get nine to six again all.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Second of all, it feels kind of like when you're
- 8:48Speaker 4: jammed up in traffic here and you're bumping or bumper
- 8:52Speaker 4: and you finally get past the accident that is leaving
- 8:55Speaker 4: everybody to go at two miles an hour. I kind
- 8:58Speaker 4: of got it a little bit.
- 8:59Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 9:00Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, but if you get that opening, I'm like, boom,
- 9:06Speaker 4: all right, finally I can drive. And it felt like
- 9:08Speaker 4: that's what the Avs were after four games of not
- 9:10Speaker 4: being able just to get some open space, They're like, oh,
- 9:13Speaker 4: I got it, and they all just wanted to jump
- 9:16Speaker 4: in and slam down on the path.
- 9:18Speaker 7: Well, do you recall the second half of Game four
- 9:21Speaker 7: against the Kings when La finally had to open it up.
- 9:24Speaker 6: What do the Avs do?
- 9:25Speaker 4: They gunned it?
- 9:30Speaker 7: So most that's the by way that that's my V eight,
- 9:33Speaker 7: that's not my that's not my V ten.
- 9:35Speaker 6: Formula one, Renoults not Horse.
- 9:38Speaker 5: I can give you Renaul if you'd like Renault most
- 9:39Speaker 5: do you think not to criticize his play, but the
- 9:44Speaker 5: style of the game, Brent Burns, this style of game
- 9:47Speaker 5: does not suit him.
- 9:48Speaker 6: It was I thought he had a tough night last It.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Does not suit you know what.
- 9:52Speaker 7: And overall it wasn't tough because he's sort of getting
- 9:56Speaker 7: beat from point A to point B.
- 9:57Speaker 6: Although he did on that the Hartman goal. And this
- 10:04Speaker 6: is where missing cale mccar, where.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Hughes turned and fed him in front of the crease.
- 10:08Speaker 7: That is correct, He's I mean it was. It was
- 10:12Speaker 7: a great pass from Hughes backhanded. Yeah, I mean through
- 10:16Speaker 7: the crease. I mean, come on, man, but Hartman, as
- 10:19Speaker 7: you see all five and this is what Johnny was
- 10:21Speaker 7: alluding to. And it happens the other way too. When
- 10:24Speaker 7: mccarr's dancing with a puck, where are all the eyeballs
- 10:27Speaker 7: on Hughes. I'm sorry, mccarr. When McKinnon's dancing with the puck,
- 10:31Speaker 7: everybody good lord, well, everybody's staring at Quinn. Hughes and
- 10:36Speaker 7: Hartman sneaks in from the backside, I mean by himself
- 10:39Speaker 7: and Burns had had crept through the low slot. Well,
- 10:44Speaker 7: if mccarr and he and Taves were on the ice,
- 10:46Speaker 7: if mccarr is there. You know, he knows Tave's game,
- 10:50Speaker 7: so it maybe makes a bit of a difference when
- 10:52Speaker 7: you're when you're missmashing the d pairs. But he was
- 10:57Speaker 7: out of position on that play. In fact, three guys
- 10:59Speaker 7: were out of position on that play.
- 11:01Speaker 6: You know.
- 11:02Speaker 7: So I don't but but I mean, these are the
- 11:03Speaker 7: things that happened when you have a situation.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Like I agree that Burns had a tough night. I
- 11:10Speaker 4: do think that Burns is you know, necessary, especially now
- 11:14Speaker 4: with Manson Manson out for a guy that you can
- 11:17Speaker 4: who can throw his body around a little bit. I
- 11:19Speaker 4: also love one things to guarantee you throw that puck
- 11:24Speaker 4: up to Burns in the offensive zones, it's gonna go
- 11:27Speaker 4: on net and you're gonna you're gonna get a chance
- 11:29Speaker 4: at a rebound. Something like that.
- 11:31Speaker 3: So I'll say something. It's funny the two sports, how
- 11:34Speaker 3: they differ.
- 11:34Speaker 5: If I make this comment in basketball, I get massive
- 11:39Speaker 5: onslaught of hate from the opposing fan base. If you
- 11:43Speaker 5: say this in hockey, it's just part of the game.
- 11:47Speaker 5: So mcar gets sent into the boards real hard, real early, right,
- 11:51Speaker 5: real hard, real airborne?
- 11:54Speaker 3: Is it not pretty much expected?
- 11:56Speaker 5: Then you got to do the same on the other side.
- 11:59Speaker 4: But I don't think it's I mean, that's just playing physically.
- 12:02Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 12:02Speaker 5: But that's and that's all we were saying in the
- 12:04Speaker 5: previous series two that led to all that. Yeah, but
- 12:07Speaker 5: it's not like when we horrent of hate. What I'm
- 12:11Speaker 5: saying is you gotta let Hughes know that. And Hughes
- 12:15Speaker 5: got hit once pretty hard. I forgot to hit him.
- 12:17Speaker 6: Middleton got blown up by cattery blow.
- 12:20Speaker 5: But if you're gonna allow your best defensive, the best
- 12:23Speaker 5: defensive player in the world, to get hit like that,
- 12:25Speaker 5: you have to you have to answer. Do you not
- 12:29Speaker 5: have to answer?
- 12:30Speaker 4: I mean I don't. I guess I don't. To me,
- 12:34Speaker 4: that's like if you you have a really good slot
- 12:36Speaker 4: receiver and he catches a slant over the middle, he
- 12:38Speaker 4: gets bown up by safety. I just think that was
- 12:41Speaker 4: part of the that's just checking psycho and what do
- 12:45Speaker 4: you think I'm saying? But that that's all I'm asking. Yeah,
- 12:50Speaker 4: I'm not asking for anything cheap.
- 12:51Speaker 6: No, No, I.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Understand, I understand that. I'm just saying, like I I
- 12:56Speaker 4: just think the the aves were a little bit softer
- 12:59Speaker 4: in this first game than they were the entire LA
- 13:01Speaker 4: series because I think they were more concerned about getting
- 13:04Speaker 4: out on a rush.
- 13:04Speaker 6: Every game is going to have its own personality.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Dude, Yeah, mos you sicken me? He discussed me.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Why I smell good? Dude, I smell really good. But
- 13:17Speaker 6: do you want to smell me?
- 13:19Speaker 5: No, you discussed me. He shows up with the usual
- 13:24Speaker 5: flip flops that we can't stand right because he has
- 13:26Speaker 5: to show his feet. His flip flop breaks in the
- 13:31Speaker 5: previous segment.
- 13:32Speaker 6: It broke.
- 13:33Speaker 4: It's weird, just weird.
- 13:35Speaker 5: He was mad because his flip flop broke, so he
- 13:38Speaker 5: limps out of here, goes to his car and comes
- 13:41Speaker 5: back with a fresh set flip flops.
- 13:44Speaker 4: How do you have backup flops in the car? What weird?
- 13:48Speaker 5: Two sets of flip flops in first of all, to
- 13:51Speaker 5: where one here in public is one thing, But then
- 13:55Speaker 5: to go get a secondary back up flip flop set?
- 14:00Speaker 4: What what are you if my slides break? I have
- 14:04Speaker 4: one pair of shoes I can get from the car.
- 14:05Speaker 6: What what do we watch?
- 14:07Speaker 4: What?
- 14:07Speaker 3: What is this?
- 14:09Speaker 4: And you got backup flops?
- 14:11Speaker 6: Far be it from me? They have backup shoes.
- 14:15Speaker 7: But I am not, I mean, I am not going
- 14:19Speaker 7: to take criticism from a guy about my flipp.
- 14:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask.
- 14:22Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask everybody that's listening to this radio show,
- 14:24Speaker 5: everybody on Earth, planet Earth, listen to me. Is there
- 14:27Speaker 5: another human being outside of a surfer dude listening from California, Hawaiian,
- 14:32Speaker 5: some dude who has two sets of flip flops at
- 14:35Speaker 5: the ready in their car.
- 14:36Speaker 4: No, I'll tell you what.
- 14:37Speaker 3: You don't have anybody out there, all of Earth, Earth,
- 14:41Speaker 3: listen to me. Shut anyone with two sets of flip flops.
- 14:44Speaker 7: Shut, shut them off for a second. I'm not gonna
- 14:47Speaker 7: take criticism from a guy who's got multiple backup wigs
- 14:52Speaker 7: in the trunk.
- 14:53Speaker 6: Of his car.
- 14:53Speaker 3: That's important for sports casting.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Flip flops are not essential.
- 14:57Speaker 4: You know what, I guarantee you don't have a backup
- 14:59Speaker 4: abrol or in car.
- 15:06Speaker 6: What does that mean?
- 15:07Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 15:09Speaker 6: I got it.
- 15:09Speaker 4: I got yeah, three oh three, five four nine two.
- 15:14Speaker 6: I had my blue ball, for God's sake.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Back after this. I'm not one to call HR every
- 15:19Speaker 4: time I'm mildly offended.
- 15:21Speaker 5: See what I'm saying. It's not me, right, it's not me.
- 15:23Speaker 5: What did he just do during the break? What tell everybody?
- 15:26Speaker 3: What you did.
- 15:26Speaker 4: What you have done is far worse.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Okay, but tell everybody what he just did. During the break,
- 15:32Speaker 5: he walked up to.
- 15:33Speaker 4: Me, looked me dead in my eyes, sincerely looked at
- 15:37Speaker 4: his feet, and he goes, I got good feet, like
- 15:40Speaker 4: waiting for me to look at them and then compliment
- 15:42Speaker 4: his feet. I'm not looking at your feet.
- 15:44Speaker 6: That's just weird to do it. Do it a weirdy,
- 15:47Speaker 6: You're weirdy.
- 15:48Speaker 5: Somebody on the text line said, moj I've always had
- 15:51Speaker 5: a crush on you until I've found out you were
- 15:53Speaker 5: flip flops. You just broke somebody, too bad. That's from
- 15:58Speaker 5: seven nine to eight too. Here's one. This is somebody
- 16:03Speaker 5: on your side. I keep a pair of extras in
- 16:06Speaker 5: my gym bag. I keep a pair in my golf bag,
- 16:08Speaker 5: and I wear a pair, so very likely anytime, Yes,
- 16:10Speaker 5: I have a backup pair. I'm talking Birkenstocks, Reefs, Nikes,
- 16:14Speaker 5: go mos, show your toes. That's from a guy named Claude.
- 16:19Speaker 5: Your name is Claude, Enuff said.
- 16:22Speaker 7: I legitimate I called him see money, your name is Claude.
- 16:27Speaker 7: I legitimately am considering calling hr for what you have
- 16:32Speaker 7: done to me.
- 16:34Speaker 6: That was pretty dramatic.
- 16:35Speaker 3: That was bad.
- 16:35Speaker 7: I've never seen somebody push their toes and feet on
- 16:38Speaker 7: other people like this.
- 16:39Speaker 6: I've never seen any Okay, that's enough for that.
- 16:43Speaker 4: So again with the the Avs win yesterday and and
- 16:47Speaker 4: sort of a weird type of way. This is Bennar
- 16:50Speaker 4: talking about the defensive mindset after the game was tied
- 16:53Speaker 4: five to five.
- 16:54Speaker 8: At five five, it's it's simple for me, like, you
- 16:57Speaker 8: gotta dig in defensively. It wasn't puck decisions. It was
- 17:02Speaker 8: you know, we had some lost battles, we were soft
- 17:04Speaker 8: in some areas, and then the details of our game,
- 17:08Speaker 8: like we were giving up scoring chances on things that
- 17:10Speaker 8: we've been doing the same way for three, four, five,
- 17:14Speaker 8: six years, and then just making mistakes on it, like
- 17:17Speaker 8: we didn't know what the coverage was on the face
- 17:20Speaker 8: offs in all three zones and sort outs in the
- 17:24Speaker 8: D zone. Like they make some plays on some difficult reads.
- 17:29Speaker 8: Every team does, but we had way too many that
- 17:31Speaker 8: were routine where we were giving up scoring chances.
- 17:35Speaker 4: There's a lot. It does kind of feel like in
- 17:38Speaker 4: I think we've all seen it before. It's not a
- 17:41Speaker 4: reflection of who you are defensively, but in basketball, this
- 17:46Speaker 4: can certainly happen. I know baseball games in which this
- 17:49Speaker 4: is the case, where a game's just like eleven to
- 17:52Speaker 4: nine and you might have a good pitcher on the mound.
- 17:54Speaker 4: It just it's like that's the flow of the game.
- 17:56Speaker 4: It's like something happened and it just opened things up
- 17:59Speaker 4: and people wanted to jump in, do the offense whatever.
- 18:03Speaker 4: It's just I just think that game was weird. I
- 18:05Speaker 4: think Kale said it best. It's a one off, and.
- 18:08Speaker 6: It completely is. It completely is a one off.
- 18:10Speaker 5: But how fun was it to be in the stands
- 18:12Speaker 5: last night when you want to be entertained.
- 18:14Speaker 6: By the sport of hockey? Right? All right?
- 18:15Speaker 5: So compare game one as Wild versus Game one AVS Kings.
- 18:21Speaker 7: No, I mean night and day night, I mean absolute
- 18:26Speaker 7: night and just from an entertain you know what I mean.
- 18:29Speaker 7: But from entertainment standpoint, vic, I mean, last night was
- 18:32Speaker 7: obviously way more fun.
- 18:35Speaker 5: The late great Pierre Lacroix is probably sitting there in
- 18:38Speaker 5: saying that's that's that's what the fans come out to watch.
- 18:42Speaker 7: Absolutely, I know you know who else is probably saying
- 18:44Speaker 7: that right the second Joe Sakik, You know, the guys
- 18:49Speaker 7: like the guys.
- 18:49Speaker 6: Who werereat scoring goal scores. Peter McNabb.
- 18:54Speaker 7: You give him a seven to six game every day
- 18:56Speaker 7: of his life, they I mean, and fans love goals.
- 19:00Speaker 7: That being said, when I'm sitting there watching my I
- 19:06Speaker 7: I got dude, I was panicky to a point. I mean,
- 19:10Speaker 7: I was just because I'm not. When you're calling the game,
- 19:13Speaker 7: it's oh, you're you're you're calling the game, You're into
- 19:15Speaker 7: the game. Down on it goes ebbs and flows. When
- 19:18Speaker 7: you're sitting there watching, you know, I'm like I would.
- 19:21Speaker 6: Say, oh no, oh no no, no, no no no.
- 19:23Speaker 7: You can feel things coming, you can see it developing,
- 19:26Speaker 7: and you're like, oh, you got to be kidding me.
- 19:27Speaker 5: Well, in the first round, if you had two or
- 19:29Speaker 5: three good scoring opportunities period.
- 19:32Speaker 3: You'd be like, okay.
- 19:33Speaker 5: In this one, there was a scoring opportunity every single
- 19:36Speaker 5: time down.
- 19:36Speaker 4: The icey just wucky?
- 19:37Speaker 3: Why is that?
- 19:38Speaker 7: And by the way that let me can I say
- 19:40Speaker 7: this though in the third period though coach is making
- 19:42Speaker 7: a point, it's five five?
- 19:44Speaker 6: What are they do in that third period?
- 19:45Speaker 7: The Avs, I know Zukarunal scored that bouncing the puck
- 19:48Speaker 7: over what but they lost the lead, which scared the
- 19:50Speaker 7: hell out of him. That was second was in the seconding, right,
- 19:55Speaker 7: Taves tied it up with the power play goal at
- 19:57Speaker 7: eighteen and oh four, So you're five to five going
- 19:59Speaker 7: to the then what happened It tied it up a
- 20:02Speaker 7: little bit.
- 20:02Speaker 6: You're damn right they did. They played. They played much
- 20:05Speaker 6: better in that third period. Zucarella had the one bouncing
- 20:08Speaker 6: puck over.
- 20:08Speaker 7: Wedgie's head, right, and I'll say this, it's not going
- 20:13Speaker 7: to be like that again. I thought that all the
- 20:16Speaker 7: goals the Avs scored, you know what, they were kind
- 20:20Speaker 7: of pretty goals. What they what they did not do
- 20:24Speaker 7: in nine goals scored, including the empty net or by Nate.
- 20:27Speaker 7: They weren't really super ugly getting rebounds and banging it
- 20:31Speaker 7: through a five hole or you know, jostling. They had
- 20:35Speaker 7: guys screening guys in front of that, that sort of thing.
- 20:37Speaker 7: But these were all.
- 20:38Speaker 5: Just like, what was your favorite goal of the night,
- 20:42Speaker 5: guys favorite goal? Now, if you're a Minnesota fan, the
- 20:44Speaker 5: Falino goal was amazing.
- 20:46Speaker 7: Tarasenko goal was amazing, was amazing too, McKinnon dropping it
- 20:52Speaker 7: to liking it was just amazing.
- 20:54Speaker 5: I like the other one. I like the valve across
- 20:57Speaker 5: the Ice.
- 20:58Speaker 6: Sure that was just Keberg. Yeah, well, because you have
- 21:02Speaker 6: to put it out there.
- 21:03Speaker 3: That was superb.
- 21:04Speaker 4: It's such a hard.
- 21:05Speaker 7: Pass because you're losing, you're losing real estate really quickly,
- 21:09Speaker 7: and you've got two wild players sort of in the way,
- 21:12Speaker 7: but you got a feathered enough that they can't get
- 21:14Speaker 7: a stick on it, but enough where Blankenberg can can
- 21:17Speaker 7: corral it and then to get a shot off. But
- 21:20Speaker 7: you're coming in at twenty miles per hour, so it's
- 21:23Speaker 7: a I mean, it is a very hard play to make,
- 21:26Speaker 7: and they did.
- 21:26Speaker 4: I love McKinnon's past Lekanon because it started with him
- 21:31Speaker 4: just at full speed, weaving between traffic, putting a shot
- 21:35Speaker 4: on net, his own rebound, getting his own rebound, then
- 21:37Speaker 4: kicking it back to Lekanon, who was wide open on
- 21:39Speaker 4: the other side, and he had he still had to
- 21:41Speaker 4: five hole. I forget who that was, Surgeon, Spurgeon that
- 21:44Speaker 4: was sitting there in front.
- 21:45Speaker 5: Like I just thought it was beautiful.
- 21:46Speaker 7: I love the Cadri goal. To see nas Cadri get
- 21:51Speaker 7: on his horse like that. How much do you think
- 21:53Speaker 7: that hand and rip it? Hollering him I I'm sure
- 21:56Speaker 7: it probably will. I don't know the extent of it Brett,
- 21:59Speaker 7: he can play.
- 22:00Speaker 4: I think Bennard told us it was his thumber.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody, everybody's got something. Yeahbody's got something.
- 22:05Speaker 5: He had another look just maybe seconds after that. Look,
- 22:08Speaker 5: yeah that almost went in. You're right last night.
- 22:12Speaker 7: But I I want to see him get on track
- 22:14Speaker 7: a little bit. And by the way, that's what those typical. Sorry,
- 22:17Speaker 7: that's one of those typical In the chuscin games, Val
- 22:19Speaker 7: didn't score goal, but on the.
- 22:22Speaker 6: Bad check he was strong.
- 22:23Speaker 7: On the fore check, he was strong, and he got
- 22:25Speaker 7: out on his horse and he found Blankenberg with a play.
- 22:28Speaker 7: I mean, that's battle. That's how Val, that's how he
- 22:32Speaker 7: helps you win series.
- 22:33Speaker 3: You know, it just goes to show you too.
- 22:35Speaker 5: And they have one of those guys in Hughes that
- 22:38Speaker 5: the Avs have the car the best of the best.
- 22:40Speaker 5: But having one of those spry, fast skating defenseman who
- 22:46Speaker 5: can score with it just changes your team. It changes
- 22:49Speaker 5: the makeup of your team. Well, how did they acquire him?
- 22:52Speaker 3: What did they get? What they have to give up
- 22:54Speaker 3: for him at the dead.
- 22:55Speaker 6: They gave up a bunch of stuff.
- 22:59Speaker 7: Yeah, look look the look up the exact the exact
- 23:05Speaker 7: I mean, what.
- 23:06Speaker 3: What a great acquisition.
- 23:07Speaker 4: For them changes the way they got Rosie.
- 23:13Speaker 6: Who's he's a I think he's a terrific young centerman.
- 23:19Speaker 4: They got a Ford prospect in Ogrin. Okay, uh, defenseman?
- 23:24Speaker 4: This is this looks like somebody just leaned on the keyboard.
- 23:26Speaker 4: By the way, what well, I mean, I understand it.
- 23:32Speaker 6: I mean a national champion in a first round pick.
- 23:34Speaker 4: When you look at his name though, it's just like,
- 23:36Speaker 4: what's his name? Somebody went z It's like that.
- 23:39Speaker 7: And ze Ze is gonna be a great player, I
- 23:43Speaker 7: think in a first round pick and a first So
- 23:45Speaker 7: there's four parts in that. ROSSI is a terrific player.
- 23:50Speaker 7: Ze I think he's gonna be a stud a huge
- 23:53Speaker 7: out of it too.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Isn't huge from Vancouver?
- 23:57Speaker 6: No, he's an American kid, That's right? What am I
- 23:59Speaker 6: talking about? Yeah? Talking to his brothers were all Americans.
- 24:03Speaker 6: He played for Team USA. Let's affect them.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Where's he from?
- 24:09Speaker 6: Like the New York area? I think something like that.
- 24:13Speaker 4: So there's another aspect to this game that I think
- 24:16Speaker 4: is important, and it's something that the ABS have really
- 24:19Speaker 4: really tried to bring back from their.
- 24:22Speaker 6: Born in Orlando. My bad? Is he really? Yeah? But
- 24:25Speaker 6: I don't think.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Is he younger, older than his brother.
- 24:30Speaker 6: He's the oldest.
- 24:35Speaker 4: Here's what Bednar said, and this is I think something
- 24:37Speaker 4: to monitor and it's something I think the ads are
- 24:39Speaker 4: built for. But he said this post game too.
- 24:40Speaker 8: Well, they play four lines, and they're all heavily involved,
- 24:45Speaker 8: and they all have a slightly different makeup on what
- 24:47Speaker 8: makes them dangerous and what makes them effective and wear
- 24:51Speaker 8: the same way. So I mean, if you're our fourth
- 24:53Speaker 8: lines important, because you know, it's if they're playing four
- 24:57Speaker 8: and you're playing three, you're not going to win.
- 25:01Speaker 4: They aren't running guys out there for seven or eight
- 25:03Speaker 4: minutes most like their fourth line plays. And it's one
- 25:06Speaker 4: of the things that it's like cool, I trust the
- 25:09Speaker 4: Avs fourth line. I know it wasn't maybe great last night,
- 25:12Speaker 4: you know, but if you're just taking in totality the
- 25:17Speaker 4: guys on third and fourth lines, your Colton's, your Druries,
- 25:19Speaker 4: your wahs, your O'Connors, your guys like that, I'll throw
- 25:23Speaker 4: them against anybody else's lines.
- 25:25Speaker 7: Kids born in Orlando moved to Toronto hockey and then
- 25:30Speaker 7: moved to Michigan. So there you go, not Zeve, oh uh,
- 25:36Speaker 7: but yeah, listen, man, he when they did that deal,
- 25:40Speaker 7: it changed the dynamic of their team.
- 25:44Speaker 6: So now they got firepower in order to combat some
- 25:47Speaker 6: of the other best. It used to be Minnesota VIC.
- 25:49Speaker 7: Do you remember owner Jacques Lamier when they first came
- 25:51Speaker 7: into the league.
- 25:52Speaker 6: Trap trap trap trap, trap, trap trap trap trap.
- 25:56Speaker 3: They didn't have They didn't have the talent.
- 25:58Speaker 6: Correct, You gotta play that way for this guy opened up.
- 26:01Speaker 7: This guy opened up everything for them, and you know
- 26:03Speaker 7: what they as one. Can I ask you a question
- 26:06Speaker 7: if you can get up to nothing on this team
- 26:08Speaker 7: going back to Minnesota, Dude, Mama.
- 26:11Speaker 3: I need to ask you.
- 26:12Speaker 5: And this is something that I should probably ask Bednar,
- 26:14Speaker 5: but Bennar doesn't do it as much as some of
- 26:16Speaker 5: these other coaches. The Minnesota coach last night, Hines.
- 26:21Speaker 6: Got John Hines, bald guy.
- 26:24Speaker 5: He kept writing stuff down under it, like a little
- 26:28Speaker 5: index card or something. Every time they cut to him,
- 26:30Speaker 5: he's writing something down. What is he What is he writing?
- 26:34Speaker 6: I'm not really sure. Let me text, let me text somebody.
- 26:37Speaker 5: I'm just curious, like for those of you who are
- 26:41Speaker 5: a little more in the know on the bench and
- 26:44Speaker 5: what's being written down like a lot of it too.
- 26:47Speaker 5: It wasn't just a little I mean he's he writing
- 26:49Speaker 5: a pen pal in the middle of a game.
- 26:51Speaker 4: But say, guys.
- 26:56Speaker 3: In the middle of the game. Yeah, I mean you
- 26:58Speaker 3: think that's what it is.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Probably you don't think coaches do that.
- 27:02Speaker 6: I'm just you.
- 27:03Speaker 5: Have you have you ever seen it? Have you ever
- 27:05Speaker 5: seen Bednar do it? Have you ever seen I've never
- 27:09Speaker 5: seen a basketball coach do it. But he spent a
- 27:12Speaker 5: lot of time writing stuff.
- 27:13Speaker 4: There, probably forgetful like me.
- 27:15Speaker 3: I'm just curious what that was.
- 27:17Speaker 4: You wrote down notes during the game.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Like ingredients, doing you cooking material?
- 27:23Speaker 7: What?
- 27:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that he was thinking about dinner.
- 27:27Speaker 3: I'd like to know what was being written down the notes.
- 27:31Speaker 4: Textas says the notes were McKinnon fast, gold good. So
- 27:39Speaker 4: but hang on, hang on. It is so true though,
- 27:41Speaker 4: when we were talking to Johnny earlier and you asked
- 27:43Speaker 4: this question Vic to uh the JML, I think it
- 27:48Speaker 4: was it.
- 27:49Speaker 7: It was at.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Least three times that I think I counted. Marty nature
- 27:54Speaker 4: is skating into the zone backward.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Unreal, but it almost as if.
- 28:00Speaker 4: But most here's my question though, could that be offside?
- 28:06Speaker 6: Not if he's in control of the puck.
- 28:07Speaker 3: Okay, you can.
- 28:08Speaker 7: If you're in control of the puck, you can You
- 28:10Speaker 7: can go in ahead of the puck, but you have
- 28:12Speaker 7: to be in control of the puck.
- 28:14Speaker 5: I mean this in the most sincere way. There were
- 28:16Speaker 5: two occasions watching Marty Niches by himself with the puck.
- 28:20Speaker 5: Last night, I swear to god, I felt like I
- 28:23Speaker 5: was watching an Olympic ice dancing routine and nobody else
- 28:26Speaker 5: was on the ice, just him, his stick and the puck.
- 28:32Speaker 6: Music plays, and I swear of got it.
- 28:33Speaker 3: It's like I was so into it.
- 28:36Speaker 4: I know he he entered the zone. What was homeboy's
- 28:39Speaker 4: name in the Olympics, it does the flips for the US.
- 28:41Speaker 4: What's his name, Ilia? Whatever? That guy's name is the
- 28:45Speaker 4: dude that was doing the figure skater again, Yeah.
- 28:49Speaker 5: He was.
- 28:50Speaker 4: It was like when that Ilia guy was setting something
- 28:53Speaker 4: up for like a triple axle or a backflip or something,
- 28:56Speaker 4: that's how he's entering the zone.
- 28:58Speaker 7: I thought you were talking about. Did somebody do a
- 29:00Speaker 7: flip in the Golden Medal game?
- 29:02Speaker 4: No?
- 29:02Speaker 5: No, I I was so captured by the moment of
- 29:06Speaker 5: him doing that. I wanted him just to hold on
- 29:09Speaker 5: to the puck and just keep going around and around.
- 29:13Speaker 7: Well imagine trying, as Johnny Lyle said, imagine trying to
- 29:15Speaker 7: defend that. You've got to take away his path to
- 29:18Speaker 7: the net, because you know what you do is if
- 29:20Speaker 7: you try to deny them if he's backwards, you try
- 29:22Speaker 7: to deny the pass up to the top of the
- 29:24Speaker 7: zone from somebody racing in, He'll pivot go right around
- 29:28Speaker 7: you to the front of the net. So you've you've
- 29:29Speaker 7: got to take away his ability to get to the
- 29:32Speaker 7: net because he will burn you that.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought so. And the wonderful film that's got
- 29:39Speaker 4: snubbed out of Academy Awards LEDs of Glory The Mighty Ducks. Oh,
- 29:43Speaker 4: Jane Plank was a secret weapon on the Miny. She
- 29:45Speaker 4: was a figure skater. Yes, maybe that's what he has
- 29:49Speaker 4: to do. It's your secret weapon. Look, I know the
- 29:57Speaker 4: game was already wide open, but has Minnesota ever had
- 29:59Speaker 4: to defend an actual figure skater? Think about it going
- 30:04Speaker 4: twists and turns and jumps.
- 30:06Speaker 7: Did you see that one play when the Abs dumped
- 30:08Speaker 7: it in and hughes and the cho's gonna going in
- 30:10Speaker 7: and they do this.
- 30:11Speaker 6: Look here they do.
- 30:12Speaker 7: That weave thing like shoom, yeah, shoo shoom, like try
- 30:16Speaker 7: to cut you and Val gets to the plut for
- 30:18Speaker 7: I mean, and they're going to tops me.
- 30:19Speaker 6: They're doing this.
- 30:20Speaker 5: Victor shoo, shoo, shoo. The game looks so fast last night.
- 30:24Speaker 5: If you're new to hockey, right and you've never watched
- 30:27Speaker 5: an NHL game, and you watched that playoff game last night,
- 30:30Speaker 5: you're like, oh my god, And I just want you
- 30:32Speaker 5: to know, it's not like that.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Most playoff games they're not that fast. Correct, there's just.
- 30:39Speaker 7: Not that was that was simply amazing. You won't see
- 30:44Speaker 7: another game like that, or you shouldn't in this series.
- 30:46Speaker 7: You shouldn't, but that was crazy.
- 30:50Speaker 4: In on the power plays, Christy Yamaguchi.
- 30:55Speaker 6: Why don't you just do me a favor.
- 30:57Speaker 7: I'm gonna sit here with my chaff on now, see you, Lucan,
- 31:00Speaker 7: I'm gonna sit here with my teeth in my mouth.
- 31:02Speaker 7: You want to pull a Lepinske, go ahead, hold on,
- 31:05Speaker 7: I want to sit here with my teeth and you
- 31:07Speaker 7: get out all your figure skaters and right now and
- 31:10Speaker 7: then be done.
- 31:11Speaker 5: For the quick game. Let's just get it out of
- 31:12Speaker 5: our blood, out of our system. Don't don't cheat, don't cheat,
- 31:16Speaker 5: don't look. Let's name as many male figure skaters as
- 31:20Speaker 5: we I'll go first. I'll go first, Hamilton, I forgot
- 31:24Speaker 5: his first.

- 33:04Speaker 5: kin Hey you guys ever heard of wien Gritzky.
- 33:07Speaker 4: Hang on a second, if you think Troy my father

- 33:17Speaker 4: let's go watching Dick Button ton of childhood? Do you
- 33:21Speaker 4: think I had? You think T Willie's throwing out the
- 33:27Speaker 4: Marborough and taking the screwdriver inside saying it's Dick Button.
- 33:31Speaker 7: No, I know, I know we gotta get the break here.
- 33:33Speaker 7: But let me see this as a as a youth,
- 33:35Speaker 7: I didn't seek out Dick Button.
- 33:39Speaker 5: Dick comes to you unfound mission.
- 33:42Speaker 7: I couldn't help you, but but just through osmosis of
- 33:45Speaker 7: watching ABC's Wide World of Sports, which is what I did,
- 33:49Speaker 7: because I'm.
- 33:49Speaker 6: A sports guy, unlike.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Create Omaha, Like I said, I was a bigger fan
- 33:56Speaker 4: of Johnson Zipper. That's just me. Oh by the way,
- 34:00Speaker 4: next the legend are you busting on?
- 34:05Speaker 7: You're kidding me as a as a youth, I didn't
- 34:08Speaker 7: seek out Dick Button.
- 34:10Speaker 5: Dick comes to you, Dick.
- 34:15Speaker 4: I just saw a single photo of you, said broadcasting legend,
- 34:19Speaker 4: Dick Button, and I saw how the picture looked. And
- 34:21Speaker 4: I'm wondering where in the world you thought I would
- 34:24Speaker 4: know Dick Button.
- 34:25Speaker 5: I mean, you're You're in the sports field, all right.
- 34:29Speaker 5: You talk sports for a living. The greatest sportsmen of
- 34:34Speaker 5: all time include the Olympic sportsman. And if you don't
- 34:37Speaker 5: know Dick Button based on the Olympic history of Dick Button,
- 34:41Speaker 5: that's on you. That's on your ill advised attempt to
- 34:43Speaker 5: understand the.
- 34:44Speaker 3: History of sports.
- 34:45Speaker 4: The thing, I'm honest with who I know and I
- 34:48Speaker 4: don't know. Unlike Vic who claimed he watched a man
- 34:51Speaker 4: in the rifle competition in nineteen.
- 34:54Speaker 7: Twenty, that's true. You gotta own that, bro, you gotta
- 34:59Speaker 7: own that.
- 35:00Speaker 4: So at least I'm honest. Oh, by the way, stories
- 35:03Speaker 4: around the sports in the world, we feel like you
- 35:04Speaker 4: should be aware of Victa Bret.
- 35:06Speaker 6: You'll know this guy. Some sad news.
- 35:09Speaker 4: To start away a minute, T Willy says, I actually
- 35:11Speaker 4: do know who dicked.
- 35:12Speaker 7: Jam right, Joe, that's a normal humor. I love your
- 35:17Speaker 7: old man. That being said, John Sterling just passed away today.
- 35:21Speaker 7: He did, Yeah, age eighty seven, the great Yankees in
- 35:24Speaker 7: it a long time New York Yankees. When did when
- 35:28Speaker 7: did he stop calling games?
- 35:29Speaker 4: I was recently last year.
- 35:31Speaker 7: Yes, he had a heart attack in January and he
- 35:34Speaker 7: he just passed away from heart failure in New Jersey.
- 35:37Speaker 7: That's just it's it's sad. But uh, he had a
- 35:41Speaker 7: really great run. But those iconic calls, right the Yankees win?
- 35:45Speaker 6: The Yankees where from a pretty much?
- 35:52Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 35:52Speaker 6: All those I got man.
- 35:54Speaker 5: Yesterday you saw Cam Young win at Durrell wire to wire.
- 35:59Speaker 5: He was fantastic. But in what other sport does this happen?
- 36:02Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys watched, but early in
- 36:04Speaker 5: yesterday's round he won handily. He's addressing an approach shot,
- 36:09Speaker 5: all right. I think he's got a seven iron in
- 36:11Speaker 5: his hand or something. He's looking at the ball, he's
- 36:12Speaker 5: ready to hit, and as he's about to take a swing,
- 36:16Speaker 5: the ball moved. It's one of those quirky, dumb golf rules.
- 36:21Speaker 5: You may not cause it to move, but if it
- 36:23Speaker 5: moves as you address it, that's a stroke penalty. He stopped,
- 36:28Speaker 5: he brought the official over, he talked it over with
- 36:31Speaker 5: the official, and he gave himself a one stroke penalty.
- 36:35Speaker 5: In what other sport would that ever happen? Could you
- 36:38Speaker 5: imagine in the NBA if a dude just stopped the game.
- 36:41Speaker 5: Now I flopped there, that's my bad.
- 36:43Speaker 6: I got him.
- 36:44Speaker 5: I got, I got, I know, I know, I got
- 36:47Speaker 5: when I when I tweeted that Kale mccarr is the.
- 36:50Speaker 3: Only known human being.
- 36:52Speaker 5: And other sports who decided, Yeah, what was it?
- 36:55Speaker 6: I got? He got called for penalty?
- 36:57Speaker 4: No, no, no penalty was called ah against like he was
- 37:01Speaker 4: the beneficiary.
- 37:03Speaker 6: He said no, he didn't. He didn't hook me. He didn't. Yeah,
- 37:05Speaker 6: he didn't do anything. That's what it was.
- 37:06Speaker 5: I mean, could you imagine if it was commonplace in
- 37:09Speaker 5: pro sports for them to adapt the PGA mentality.
- 37:13Speaker 4: Hey, I want to tell you guys something right now.
- 37:16Speaker 4: I ain't taking no damn stroke on that. Okay, you
- 37:18Speaker 4: got No, I'm not.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Saying I want to tell you something.
- 37:21Speaker 5: But the problem is in the PGA tournament, the cameras
- 37:24Speaker 5: or everybody's watching.
- 37:25Speaker 4: Yeah, that was indistinguishable to the camera, Brett.
- 37:29Speaker 5: There's one hundred and forty thousand nerds watching on television.
- 37:32Speaker 5: And you know those hall monitors out there who are
- 37:34Speaker 5: so eager to get involved, and they'll make that phone
- 37:37Speaker 5: call to the truck and say, hey, that moved.
- 37:38Speaker 3: You should be disqualified.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Like if they're doing practice swings and they accidentally clip
- 37:42Speaker 4: the ball, they're like, oh, well, just grab the ball
- 37:44Speaker 4: and set it back down where it was.
- 37:45Speaker 5: I want everybody to know when I'm playing in a
- 37:47Speaker 5: money game with you or if we're just out, I
- 37:49Speaker 5: ain't calling that out myself ever, No, it ain't gonna happen.
- 37:52Speaker 7: Listen if you're if you're in the middle of the
- 37:54Speaker 7: airway and you're tied for the lead of the Masters
- 37:57Speaker 7: on seventeen, yeah yeah, I mean he had a huge lead,
- 38:03Speaker 7: so it was kind of easy to do it. But
- 38:06Speaker 7: that being said, if you think that I'm calling a
- 38:09Speaker 7: penalty stroke on myself in the middle of the fairway
- 38:12Speaker 7: with you idiots the hell out of here.
- 38:14Speaker 6: Get bent. If anything, I'm gonna fluff it it. Two
- 38:17Speaker 6: people have said this.
- 38:18Speaker 4: You remember that Sportsmanship commercial where the kid goes to
- 38:21Speaker 4: his coach. He was I touched the ball coach, he
- 38:24Speaker 4: was out of bound out. It's a championship game, Alex,
- 38:28Speaker 4: I touched it. It's the dumbest commercial that's ever been broadcast,
- 38:32Speaker 4: first of all, and Nelly, I will have you play
- 38:35Speaker 4: that at some point because it is so corny. But
- 38:37Speaker 4: it's exactly like that. I ain't calling anything. Just quickly here.
- 38:41Speaker 4: Jalen Brown, after they got bounced in seven to Philadelphia,
- 38:47Speaker 4: said this on his podcast. He was jawing with him
- 38:50Speaker 4: beat all game. They got double text in the middle
- 38:52Speaker 4: of it because they wouldn't stop talking to each other.
- 38:54Speaker 4: Here's what he said, as I don't know if he's
- 38:57Speaker 4: like live streaming a video game or what he's doing,
- 38:59Speaker 4: but he said that.
- 39:00Speaker 10: We didn't really have an answer for him. We tried
- 39:02Speaker 10: a bunch of different things, and he just, you know,
- 39:05Speaker 10: he's a big body and he just you know, he
- 39:09Speaker 10: also was flopping around. He got some extra calls and
- 39:11Speaker 10: stuff like that, you know, and they rewarded him for that.
- 39:14Speaker 10: But you know, that's the league that we're in. So
- 39:18Speaker 10: I mean, that's all I got to say.
- 39:19Speaker 4: So that was post game. This is him doubling down
- 39:21Speaker 4: on the flopping from Mbie.
- 39:22Speaker 10: This is my personal opinion on basketball. Some of y'all
- 39:25Speaker 10: might disagree, but argue with your grandma, flopping has ruined
- 39:29Speaker 10: our game. Joel Embiid is a great player, one of
- 39:33Speaker 10: the best bigs in basketball history.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Flops.
- 39:38Speaker 8: He know it.
- 39:39Speaker 10: It's ain't breaking news.
- 39:41Speaker 8: It is what it is.
- 39:42Speaker 4: So he said, that's ruining the game. And I think
- 39:44Speaker 4: that a lot of people would agree, including myself, that
- 39:46Speaker 4: I hate how flopping is kind of taken over. I
- 39:48Speaker 4: will say this, you know what I hate more? What
- 39:51Speaker 4: do you guys think before you pull this up, Nellie,
- 39:53Speaker 4: just wait. Jason Tatum was not able to go in
- 39:57Speaker 4: Game Sevencks lose at home. They're now going home and
- 40:04Speaker 4: here is a postgame interaction between Joel Embiid, who just
- 40:08Speaker 4: won his team's advancing and you lost on your home floor.
- 40:11Speaker 4: What do you think about this photo? I hate it
- 40:14Speaker 4: Jason Tatum with a giant smile, laughing and Joe after
- 40:18Speaker 4: they lost in Game seven.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Nobody should be smiling. Nope, Nope, I hate it.
- 40:23Speaker 4: That's worse to me than flopping this whole buddy buddy thing.
- 40:27Speaker 4: I actually love that the Nuggets and the Timberwolves.
- 40:34Speaker 5: You know what, I give Jaden McDaniels a ton of
- 40:36Speaker 5: credit for this wasn't artificially manufactured.
- 40:39Speaker 3: It's It's viably true.
- 40:41Speaker 5: He hates the Nuggets, and in return, the Nuggets did
- 40:44Speaker 5: not hate Minnesota enoughing Even Jamal Murray said it, we
- 40:47Speaker 5: didn't take it personally enough.
- 40:49Speaker 4: Well they did. That stuff drives me nuts. And I
- 40:53Speaker 4: can only imagine Jaalen Brown, who is seething all game
- 40:56Speaker 4: going against Joel Embiid. If he sees a picture of
- 40:58Speaker 4: his team start teammate doing that, it's got to drive him.
- 41:02Speaker 6: Not one hundred percent.
- 41:03Speaker 4: Oh by the way, you've got one, yeah, just to
- 41:05Speaker 4: go off of That'll finish.
- 41:06Speaker 3: Up, just to go off of that. Are you guys
- 41:09Speaker 3: like me?
- 41:10Speaker 5: As much as we've debated Joel Embiid and how he
- 41:13Speaker 5: stole an MVP from Nicola jokicch and we've argued with
- 41:16Speaker 5: Philly fans, I was happy for Joel Embiid. I'm happy
- 41:20Speaker 5: that he's healthy enough to advance to the next round.
- 41:23Speaker 4: I never hated Joel, I've hated the stuff that surrounds
- 41:26Speaker 4: that stupid debate.
- 41:27Speaker 5: I agree, but I was happy for him, and I
- 41:29Speaker 5: found it curious he's calling out his own fans.
- 41:32Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys saw this. Even in Philly,
- 41:34Speaker 3: it occurs.
- 41:35Speaker 5: I hate it when it happens in Denver, when we
- 41:37Speaker 5: get overwhelmed by opposing fan bases. He said, Hey, Philly fans,
- 41:41Speaker 5: last year when we played the Knicks, playing in Philly
- 41:43Speaker 5: felt like a Knicks home game.
- 41:45Speaker 3: We need you not to sell your tickets. Yeah, even
- 41:47Speaker 3: in mighty Philadelphia.
- 41:49Speaker 5: Where they call themselves hard fans, they sell out even there.
- 41:54Speaker 6: Yep. And by the way, he hasn't played here in
- 41:56Speaker 6: Denver for a long long time. Last thing for me good.
- 42:01Speaker 7: I didn't want to bring this up because it's just
- 42:03Speaker 7: gonna make him mad.
- 42:04Speaker 6: BRT him being Vic, what what's today?
- 42:09Speaker 4: May fourth? Don't you do it? I was gonna try
- 42:12Speaker 4: and get through this whole show without kidding.
- 42:14Speaker 6: Then I'll shut up.
- 42:15Speaker 5: I'm a Star Wars fan. Oh really, yeah, I could.
- 42:21Speaker 5: The early Star Wars were not cartoons. Those are really
- 42:23Speaker 5: well made movies.
- 42:24Speaker 4: I do remember a certain quote from Vic saying he
- 42:27Speaker 4: did like when Layla was being choked out by Jesus God.
- 42:31Speaker 3: I didn't say that.
- 42:32Speaker 6: Yes you did, you did?
- 42:35Speaker 4: I did? Yes, you did?
- 42:37Speaker 5: Boba fet no, no, job of the drop of the

- 42:51Speaker 4: deny saying that is crazy.
- 42:53Speaker 3: I swort of got I don't remember saying that.
- 42:55Speaker 6: Yeah, like choked up by the frog or whatever. Yeah,
- 42:58Speaker 6: he said, and how much you enjoyed. Yes, you don't
- 43:03Speaker 6: remember that?
- 43:04Speaker 4: No, oh no, you gotta find it now. It's there,
- 43:08Speaker 4: it's there. I mean this is way back like Marty days.
- 43:11Speaker 4: But he's he had to save it, all right, give
- 43:14Speaker 4: us a drunk take version, Go ahead.
- 43:16Speaker 5: A young princess Slayah when she was wearing that get
- 43:22Speaker 5: up and she was choking that big monster from behind.
- 43:28Speaker 6: No you guys got backwards.
- 43:30Speaker 4: Yeah we're choking.
- 43:31Speaker 7: Okay, Well she wasn't getting choked out, she was choking
- 43:35Speaker 7: the big she was in chains.
- 43:38Speaker 4: I knew it was something.
