- 0:04Speaker 2: Listen live every weekday morning from seven to ten on
- 0:07Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio not E two five and on the
- 0:10Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio app.
- 0:18Speaker 3: All Right, it's not tonight, but it is tomorrow, this
- 0:23Speaker 3: long awaited Game three of the Abs and Wild. And
- 0:27Speaker 3: I'll say, you know, we kind of started the show.
- 0:30Speaker 3: If I were to make you, guys, I said, Minnesota
- 0:34Speaker 3: radio host, how would you convey to your audience that
- 0:37Speaker 3: the Wild win this Game three? What about John Hines?
- 0:40Speaker 3: If I make you John Hines, what specifically, mos would
- 0:44Speaker 3: you try and do to change things up?
- 0:46Speaker 2: Well, the advanced metrics would tell you that we're just
- 0:48Speaker 2: as good as them. We're playing just as good as
- 0:50Speaker 2: they are. Hey, listen, I believe in that. I'm not
- 0:54Speaker 2: dumb with that. I think advanced metrics can be very beneficial.
- 1:00Speaker 2: But you're the Colorado Avalanche and you're finished right now?
- 1:03Speaker 2: Is just a little bit better if you're John Hines?
- 1:05Speaker 4: What do you do?
- 1:06Speaker 2: You pray your goalie has a terrific game and stands
- 1:09Speaker 2: on his head. If it was me, Golly, I don't
- 1:16Speaker 2: know what I do, Brett, Because again, you're in a
- 1:19Speaker 2: skating game in Game one, you scored six and lost
- 1:21Speaker 2: by three. Game two, you chipped it in off the
- 1:26Speaker 2: boards and chased all game long. Because what you don't
- 1:29Speaker 2: want and then you have four checked like heck, because
- 1:32Speaker 2: you want to get that cycle going. And if you
- 1:34Speaker 2: get a shot, you get a face off in the
- 1:35Speaker 2: offensive zone. You can get the guys on. You know
- 1:38Speaker 2: what you do, know what I'm saying, like, get your
- 1:40Speaker 2: big guns on. Then, because the draws of the offensive zone,
- 1:42Speaker 2: you get another kick in the can.
- 1:44Speaker 4: You're trying to play the numbers in that.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Regard too, You're trying to play the percentages at that point.
- 1:50Speaker 2: More offensive zone face offs, if we can win those,
- 1:52Speaker 2: we're gonna get more opportunities to get a kick at
- 1:54Speaker 2: the can.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Sometimes you win the game and not the score.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Okay, thanks John.
- 2:00Speaker 2: If it was me, I would be terrified that the
- 2:02Speaker 2: Avs could put another five plus on me. So I
- 2:07Speaker 2: would try. I would probably try to employ what they
- 2:09Speaker 2: did in game two. If you get into a skating
- 2:12Speaker 2: up and down game with the Abs, they're gonna kill you.
- 2:14Speaker 4: So I would just I would ride.
- 2:16Speaker 2: I would ride with a let's ultimate puck control the
- 2:20Speaker 2: best we can.
- 2:22Speaker 5: I would simply say keep putting pucks on net. We're
- 2:24Speaker 5: going to break through. We have broken through already and
- 2:27Speaker 5: on the backside, we're gonna get some help from one
- 2:30Speaker 5: of these goalies. I mean, you can't change too much here.
- 2:34Speaker 5: You're gonna break through. That would be my message if
- 2:37Speaker 5: I'm this guy.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you have to try and do something differently,
- 2:43Speaker 3: but you can't reimagine your entire team. I think maybe
- 2:49Speaker 3: just put an emphasis on more physicalities to start.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna do that period. I think they felt
- 2:54Speaker 2: like they got pushed around in Game two.
- 2:56Speaker 3: They did.
- 2:58Speaker 2: They're gonna be more physical and it's gonna be led
- 3:00Speaker 2: by whom the Felinos and mcarrin correct and Trennan and well,
- 3:10Speaker 2: Nico Sturm's not really a blow you up kind of guy.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Trenton was he here?
- 3:14Speaker 1: Was it two years ago? He was here?
- 3:16Speaker 4: Why do they keep calling him Trunnion?
- 3:18Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Forcly calls him Trenion, wish washoes and calls him Trennion.
- 3:23Speaker 4: I don't know why. When he was here it was Trendon.
- 3:28Speaker 3: One thing is very clear, and I know there's some
- 3:30Speaker 3: sort of thought when you're down two in a series
- 3:33Speaker 3: and you gotta get back into it somehow, some way
- 3:36Speaker 3: that maybe Minnesota is going to employ some some extra curriculars.
- 3:41Speaker 3: I don't think they can afford to do that. Their
- 3:44Speaker 3: penalty kill is operating at fifty nine point seven percent
- 3:47Speaker 3: in the postseason. If you try and do that, you
- 3:49Speaker 3: get sent to the box. You're gonna get smoked.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Well, okay, So.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I think you're answering your own question right now, gentlemen,
- 3:56Speaker 2: VIC you're answering your own question, which is, well, every
- 4:04Speaker 2: time you think about what you want to try to do,
- 4:06Speaker 2: you're running into an avalanche roadblock, right. Yeah, who was
- 4:12Speaker 2: the best team on the road this year?
- 4:14Speaker 4: Yes?
- 4:16Speaker 2: Whose power play is cooking? Whose penalty kills cooking?
- 4:20Speaker 3: Yes?
- 4:21Speaker 4: Five on five?
- 4:22Speaker 2: Who's finishing? Whose goalies been better the Avs? So everything
- 4:26Speaker 2: that you're talking about that you want to Who can
- 4:29Speaker 2: adapt the best to any style of game.
- 4:31Speaker 3: And still win the Avs?
- 4:33Speaker 2: So what you're doing if you're putting me in the
- 4:35Speaker 2: role of hey, this is uh uh, you know dirt
- 4:41Speaker 2: Flesher from w p i G Minneapolis or I'm John Hines,
- 4:46Speaker 2: You're you're putting me in a position where I'm running
- 4:48Speaker 2: up against roadblocks. You're probably gonna have to play your
- 4:51Speaker 2: butts off and have some things also break right for you,
- 4:55Speaker 2: which can happen.
- 4:57Speaker 3: They can, And uh, I'm actually curious. You know, it's
- 5:01Speaker 3: funny because I have this confidence with the Avs right now,
- 5:05Speaker 3: and it's for all the reasons you just mentioned.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Mos.
- 5:07Speaker 3: If you're looking for what advantage does Minnesota have in
- 5:12Speaker 3: these game to game sort of evaluations, it's not a lot.
- 5:18Speaker 3: The Avs are going to get tested here. They're going
- 5:20Speaker 3: to even when they go sixteen and four on the
- 5:24Speaker 3: way to a Stanley Cup, you still had like that
- 5:26Speaker 3: Saint Louis series that was mashed in the middle of it,
- 5:28Speaker 3: that was difficult. It was tough. Minnesota is a very
- 5:32Speaker 3: good hockey team that's going to give you at least
- 5:35Speaker 3: a little bit. My guess is out of this two
- 5:38Speaker 3: game homestand for Minnesota it's probably going to be I
- 5:42Speaker 3: think three to one. I think they'll split between Tomorrow
- 5:46Speaker 3: and Monday before they come back here to Ball Arena.
- 5:49Speaker 3: But it's going to take a pretty perfect effort I
- 5:53Speaker 3: think for Minnesota to take one of.
- 5:55Speaker 5: These games, and if they had one to pick, it'd
- 5:57Speaker 5: be tonight obviously.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they lose tonight. It's it's done. They say
- 6:02Speaker 3: they win the other game or not.
- 6:04Speaker 2: He pulled this famous line, which I love.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Whoever wins Game three wins the series.
- 6:08Speaker 4: That is the case.
- 6:10Speaker 2: The Avs could lose tonight and still roll in five.
- 6:13Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just telling you. Look, they're going to
- 6:15Speaker 2: lose a hockey game at some point.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:17Speaker 2: I hope it's not tomorrow night. I hope it's not
- 6:19Speaker 2: Monday night. I hope it's not either of those. I
- 6:21Speaker 2: hope they win both of those and then kind of
- 6:24Speaker 2: match what Caroline is doing right now, where there's kind
- 6:26Speaker 2: of sweeping their way to a conference final. Yeah, it
- 6:28Speaker 2: would be awesome, although the ABS path is much more
- 6:32Speaker 2: difficult than Carolina is.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Correct, Now, I just read something. I let me make
- 6:37Speaker 3: sure I got this. Yeah, Frank sair Valley has this.
- 6:43Speaker 3: The Canes are one went away from becoming the first
- 6:45Speaker 3: team who sweep the two best of seven series to
- 6:50Speaker 3: open a playoff. Since current format of four rounds of
- 6:53Speaker 3: seven games began in nineteen eighty seven, no team has
- 6:56Speaker 3: ever started eight in oher.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Wow, I wonder if two teams can do that.
- 7:00Speaker 4: I hope so.
- 7:03Speaker 3: He does say that the nineteen eighty nine Canadiens, the
- 7:07Speaker 3: ninety four Rangers, the two thousand and eight Penguins, and
- 7:10Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four Rangers all started seven to zero
- 7:13Speaker 3: but lost Game eight. So there's been teams that are close.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Okay, so there there. Look, we're up three to zero
- 7:19Speaker 2: in this series. You goof around in Game four, you
- 7:22Speaker 2: lose two to one, right, four to one, four to two.
- 7:26Speaker 2: I mean you're goofing around. You know you got the
- 7:29Speaker 2: series locked up. You can't manufacture that emotion. Then you
- 7:32Speaker 2: come home and you blast them in Game five and
- 7:34Speaker 2: move on to the next round.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:36Speaker 1: See, but tonight.
- 7:37Speaker 5: That's what makes tonight's game so crucial because obviously Minnesota
- 7:40Speaker 5: is going.
- 7:40Speaker 1: To be desperate.
- 7:40Speaker 5: But if you win tonight with a desperate desperate Minnesota team,
- 7:44Speaker 5: I mean, you knock all that desperation out of their body,
- 7:47Speaker 5: then it becomes a pride thing.
- 7:49Speaker 3: For Game four, then it just becomes can we get
- 7:51Speaker 3: one before we get out of this series?
- 7:53Speaker 2: Vick, I want to get your thoughts on something through.
- 7:57Speaker 2: In the commercial break, right as we went to break,
- 8:00Speaker 2: he'll Billy sales guy Brandon comes in, Hey, reready, big Hey,
- 8:06Speaker 2: why you know why you park right where you park?
- 8:10Speaker 2: I said, well, I got my stuff in there. I
- 8:11Speaker 2: gotta go straight to the airport. I don't want some
- 8:14Speaker 2: hill billy like you break it in and steal. I
- 8:16Speaker 2: didn't want to park far. I park in the same
- 8:18Speaker 2: spot every single day of my life. Every day I
- 8:22Speaker 2: park in the same spot at six forty the most guys, Yeah,
- 8:27Speaker 2: but I park. I don't want my doors ding. Then
- 8:29Speaker 2: he always parks too over for me every single day.
- 8:33Speaker 5: Most is that guy that, in case you can't figure
- 8:36Speaker 5: this out, he's far away from the doors by himself
- 8:39Speaker 5: because he thinks his car has to be different.
- 8:43Speaker 3: All right, and just quickly for all the people listening,
- 8:47Speaker 3: I guess we keep saying tonight for the Abs game
- 8:49Speaker 3: instead of tomorrow.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Are bad.
- 8:50Speaker 3: We know it's tomorrow. It's just it's been forever since
- 8:53Speaker 3: they played.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Okay, So let me get to the point here. I
- 8:57Speaker 2: don't want my door is ding by anybody. I mean,
- 9:01Speaker 2: you want Jim pulling up next to you bang, You
- 9:04Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 9:05Speaker 4: No, that ain't happening.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Okay, So here's the story. He goes, how you gotta
- 9:08Speaker 2: move at he said, I'm superstitious.
- 9:11Speaker 4: We can't.
- 9:12Speaker 2: We're going to game three, guys, I said, okay, fine,
- 9:14Speaker 2: So I went out and I moved my car from
- 9:16Speaker 2: the front, the very front spot and all the way
- 9:20Speaker 2: out to where I typically park. I moved my car.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Is that superstition.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Also my own?
- 9:29Speaker 2: I felt good about doing it because at this point
- 9:32Speaker 2: of the season, you don't want to change anything up.
- 9:34Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, I think, if you finish
- 9:36Speaker 2: in the right parking spot, that's good. That's a that's
- 9:40Speaker 2: a good way. So yeah, am I superstitious about it?
- 9:42Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 9:42Speaker 2: I guess I am a little bit. He's obviously that
- 9:45Speaker 2: hillbilly's really superstitious. Hey that time my hound dog had
- 9:49Speaker 2: that tick, you know, that kind of thing.
- 9:51Speaker 4: And I'm like, yeah, I get it. I understand.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Which call off a punch you in the face one
- 9:56Speaker 3: day for doing this? It's every day you call the
- 10:00Speaker 3: hillbilly and do this accent, and every day gets mad
- 10:02Speaker 3: at me. And I'm like, what do you want me
- 10:04Speaker 3: to do?
- 10:04Speaker 2: You tell me anything that I've done that's not accurate.
- 10:08Speaker 3: It all seems accurate for now. I don't think I
- 10:11Speaker 3: heard him talking about his dog with a tick before.
- 10:13Speaker 4: Well, that's all I could think.
- 10:14Speaker 3: You know, Vic, what's the most superstitious you've been Huh,
- 10:20Speaker 3: you're not a superstitious guy, but there's got to be
- 10:22Speaker 3: something that you've done that I instead of superstition, called routine.
- 10:27Speaker 5: If there's a team that's playing that I'm really into
- 10:29Speaker 5: the game and I react a certain way. I told
- 10:32Speaker 5: you about my story in the drive. During the Drive
- 10:36Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty six, what I did at my friend
- 10:38Speaker 5: Todd Miller's house.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I told you that walked yourself in the bathroom and
- 10:42Speaker 2: played tickle fight.
- 10:43Speaker 3: I actually I.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Was sixteen years old. We were watching in his living
- 10:47Speaker 5: room on that final drive. Every time a positive play
- 10:51Speaker 5: was had, I went on all fours and did it.
- 10:53Speaker 1: That's right.
- 10:53Speaker 4: The donkey kiss. That's right.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I was required for the rest of the game.
- 10:57Speaker 4: The donkey kiss.
- 11:01Speaker 1: It worked.
- 11:04Speaker 4: That's actually pretty good.
- 11:07Speaker 3: I never thought you'd be that guy.
- 11:09Speaker 5: Well, I was sixteen at the time. I grew out
- 11:11Speaker 5: of that phase.
- 11:12Speaker 2: I don't know, man, You know what, A good donkey
- 11:15Speaker 2: kick might have got him through that snowstorm, that blizzard
- 11:18Speaker 2: in the second half.
- 11:20Speaker 5: See for those of you who weren't around back when
- 11:23Speaker 5: you're watching AFC title game and your team is playing,
- 11:27Speaker 5: and back then we didn't have HD television.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Hell, you could barely make out the ball.
- 11:31Speaker 4: I know, yeah, it's crazy.
- 11:32Speaker 5: And you're watching this all unfold and there's no like, Yeah,
- 11:35Speaker 5: the replays were tough.
- 11:37Speaker 1: You know, we didn't know it.
- 11:38Speaker 4: If we didn't know what we didn't know about we had.
- 11:41Speaker 1: It's so different. There was no DVR. You couldn't stop
- 11:44Speaker 1: the television. Say let's re examine that. You just went
- 11:47Speaker 1: along for the ride.
- 11:48Speaker 2: But I'm at the NHL meetings in Nashville, Tennessee in
- 11:51Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight. They we're gonna have a little thing here.
- 11:55Speaker 2: You gotta check this out. Here's regular Death.
- 11:57Speaker 4: It was.
- 11:58Speaker 2: It was the Red Wings in the Capitol were playing
- 12:01Speaker 2: and this has just been filmed, a new high Death
- 12:05Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my god.
- 12:10Speaker 3: There's really no going back, is there?
- 12:12Speaker 2: Because I walked up to the regular deaf, I'm like,
- 12:14Speaker 2: that's what that's my life, that's what we have. And
- 12:17Speaker 2: then on the other one, I felt like I could
- 12:20Speaker 2: reach in and grab Sergei Federof by his tiny little
- 12:24Speaker 2: leg and shake him around.
- 12:25Speaker 4: It was bizarre.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Well, what's crazy is I see those TVs now that
- 12:28Speaker 3: you walk into a costco or something. It's the one
- 12:30Speaker 3: that's facing you directly upon.
- 12:31Speaker 2: The endun birds and flowers and bits flower, but it
- 12:35Speaker 2: really does look like they're right in front of us.
- 12:38Speaker 3: And I'm like, my TV quality is pretty good, but
- 12:40Speaker 3: what is this?
- 12:41Speaker 1: Gotta have it?
- 12:42Speaker 3: But then it says like three Granted, I'm sorry, TV's
- 12:44Speaker 3: are going for about one hundred and eighty bucks. I
- 12:47Speaker 3: don't need it that badly.
- 12:48Speaker 4: It's so funny.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I just the other night I couldn't get I have
- 12:51Speaker 2: this old LGTV, like eight nine years old, and it
- 12:55Speaker 2: said Wi Fi not in, no Wi Fi not found
- 12:58Speaker 2: or whatever like it would not hook up to the
- 13:00Speaker 2: Wi Fi's in the basement.
- 13:03Speaker 4: I went through.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Every step on these innerwebs and all this kind of thing.
- 13:05Speaker 2: I finally I took it. I put it down, and
- 13:07Speaker 2: I took the back off, and I took a part
- 13:10Speaker 2: the uh the Wi Fi thing, a little module and
- 13:14Speaker 2: unplugged it and everything.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Plugged it back in and it worked. That was the
- 13:17Speaker 4: last thing.
- 13:18Speaker 2: But you gotta sometimes go to well, you gotta you
- 13:21Speaker 2: gotta go to the depth to avoid buying a new TV.
- 13:24Speaker 4: That's what I'm getting at.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Come fix mine.
- 13:26Speaker 5: I got like those little lines on it, these little
- 13:29Speaker 5: lines of little lines.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Louisville slugger. That's that's the answer to that one.
- 13:33Speaker 3: We'll get back to that a little bit later.
- 13:36Speaker 4: About to get more into the abs.
- 13:41Speaker 1: The hell going on?
- 13:45Speaker 3: Press conference from Dronky, Tenser and Wallace Adam at eleven
- 13:49Speaker 3: o'clock next an air.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Hey, what do we got to at the end of
- 13:54Speaker 2: the program today? We got some stuff going on? Do we?
- 13:57Speaker 1: Huh? Now?
- 14:00Speaker 4: Does Big have to leave early? What is somebody? What
- 14:05Speaker 4: do you have to leave early?
- 14:07Speaker 1: I don't I might be able to make it on time.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Why do you have a prop in your hand? What
- 14:11Speaker 3: is this prop?
- 14:11Speaker 4: Oh?
- 14:12Speaker 5: No, I just got a new razor. I'm opening the box.
- 14:15Speaker 5: You know you can't scamp on razors.
- 14:18Speaker 1: That's what I've learned. How what is the shelf life
- 14:21Speaker 1: of a razor?
- 14:22Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 14:22Speaker 2: But if I forget one and I have to get
- 14:24Speaker 2: one of the free ones at the hotel.
- 14:25Speaker 5: As I'm talking about these kind I'm talking about the motorized.
- 14:30Speaker 1: What the motorized?
- 14:31Speaker 2: I don't do that. I do the I do the
- 14:34Speaker 2: lather in the razor ring, Well so do I.
- 14:36Speaker 5: But I mean sometimes you just want to be lazy
- 14:38Speaker 5: and do the motorized. I'm just asking what is the
- 14:39Speaker 5: shelf life.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Just get a buzzer.
- 14:42Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure my old man's got an erocle
- 14:44Speaker 2: that's been around since like seventy six.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Get a blade, vic do it like an old school
- 14:50Speaker 3: barber shop.
- 14:51Speaker 5: I usually blade, I do the blade, but sometimes again,
- 14:54Speaker 5: you don't want to blade, and you get the electric
- 14:56Speaker 5: razer out and you go to work. I'm just I'm
- 14:58Speaker 5: asking a simple question, what is the common shelf life?
- 15:02Speaker 5: Because the one I have in there doesn't seem to
- 15:03Speaker 5: be working properly. I bought a new one, and.
- 15:06Speaker 1: I didn't realize how expensive they were. My god, they're
- 15:08Speaker 1: not cheap.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Okay, well, I don't know, But what I do know
- 15:13Speaker 2: is if I forget one for the road and I
- 15:14Speaker 2: have to borrow or use, you know, one from the hotel,
- 15:18Speaker 2: it is the phase two or three thousand. Your face
- 15:21Speaker 2: gets absolutely destroyed by for the worst.
- 15:26Speaker 5: Somebody says, well, if you take care of the motors,
- 15:28Speaker 5: you can go three to ten years.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Blah blah.
- 15:30Speaker 5: Do what do I come across as the guy who
- 15:35Speaker 5: like cleans the blades?
- 15:37Speaker 4: Thick?
- 15:37Speaker 3: I got you? I got you a motorized razor. Electric
- 15:41Speaker 3: razor typically lasts anywhere from three to ten years. With
- 15:45Speaker 3: an average life span of five to seven for high
- 15:47Speaker 3: quality models, but blades and foils must be replaced every
- 15:51Speaker 3: twelve to eighteen months to maintain performance.
- 15:54Speaker 1: What do you mean replaced? How do you replace the things?
- 16:00Speaker 3: I don't know. I've used the same buzzer that I
- 16:02Speaker 3: used when I buzzed my head on my face.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I've used that.
- 16:05Speaker 4: But you don't.
- 16:08Speaker 1: You don't do anything. Your face is just a face.
- 16:13Speaker 1: You don't buzz your hair off of there.
- 16:17Speaker 4: I mean, I don't. I don't.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're you're asking all the questions that I
- 16:20Speaker 2: don't know the answers to bro.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Today at eleven o'clock it will be live right here
- 16:29Speaker 3: on ninety two five, as well as Altitude Television, the
- 16:31Speaker 3: sort of exit press conference to the season with Josh.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Kron It's important.
- 16:36Speaker 1: This is important.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Josh Cronky, Tenzer Wallace, Adam and all of them are
- 16:40Speaker 3: going to be there. You don't need to do an
- 16:42Speaker 3: unboxing live on the air right now, vic, I don't
- 16:45Speaker 3: need to hear zippers in boxes opening. I don't need
- 16:48Speaker 3: that at this.
- 16:49Speaker 4: Moment in particularly.
- 16:51Speaker 3: But uh, the point here is what do you want
- 16:57Speaker 3: to hear? Forget what you think they're gonna say, what
- 17:00Speaker 3: do you want them to say?
- 17:02Speaker 5: It's a great question. Somebody asked me yesterday, as a
- 17:07Speaker 5: matter of fact, do you do you think they'll just
- 17:11Speaker 5: run it back? And you know, I've heard your radio show.
- 17:13Speaker 5: Why are you being so hard on a team that
- 17:16Speaker 5: was riddled with injury?
- 17:18Speaker 1: I said, well, I'm not. I don't think I'm being hard.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I don't think.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Anybody likes the way it ended. And if you're not
- 17:23Speaker 5: honest about it, what are you? I mean, is there
- 17:25Speaker 5: anybody in that organization that liked the way the season ended?
- 17:28Speaker 1: Is there anybody?
- 17:30Speaker 4: Of course not.
- 17:31Speaker 1: And when you don't like the.
- 17:32Speaker 5: Way something ends, something has to be done to fix
- 17:37Speaker 5: the end. You can't just throw your hands up and
- 17:40Speaker 5: say let's try it again. I mean I am, I
- 17:44Speaker 5: am I at a place saying.
- 17:45Speaker 3: That no, But there is a matter of what can
- 17:49Speaker 3: you do and what are you willing to do? Here's
- 17:52Speaker 3: one thing I don't want, and I'll just be honest
- 17:56Speaker 3: the I think there's different pathways that you could take
- 18:00Speaker 3: this offseason that I think are Look, nothing is going
- 18:04Speaker 3: to satisfy everyone, but if they went the more minimal route,
- 18:09Speaker 3: I think you could make the argument that injuries had
- 18:11Speaker 3: a lot to do with your season and whatever, you
- 18:13Speaker 3: just have to deal with it. You could go the
- 18:15Speaker 3: extreme route of trading away a guy like Jamal and
- 18:18Speaker 3: totally redoing this thing. But the last thing I think
- 18:22Speaker 3: you can do. You can't start over. You can't make
- 18:28Speaker 3: this into a hey, we're gonna take for a couple
- 18:31Speaker 3: of years, no real championship contention, hoping that we can
- 18:34Speaker 3: get there. That is too much to risk with your
- 18:38Speaker 3: all time player in his thirties. It's too much.
- 18:40Speaker 2: You know.
- 18:40Speaker 5: It's interesting because there's a team in town that faced
- 18:45Speaker 5: a similar type of loss where the season just ended
- 18:48Speaker 5: abruptly and people wondered, what's next, Let's blow it up,
- 18:51Speaker 5: And they didn't blow it up. They kept the course
- 18:55Speaker 5: and eventually won a championship. And that's the Colorado Avalanche
- 18:59Speaker 5: presently constituted.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Hey Man in twenty twenty one, after they lost those
- 19:05Speaker 2: fourd a row to Vegas. You remember, you remember the narrative, dude,
- 19:08Speaker 2: there was there was, and rightfully so, there was a
- 19:11Speaker 2: ton of consternation, and it's because the Aves were probably
- 19:15Speaker 2: good enough to win.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Yeah, they got out muscled, they got out.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Kind of everything. After they had a two zero series.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Lead vic I don't need this to be an unboxing video.
- 19:26Speaker 3: I hear everything that Dagger does.
- 19:27Speaker 5: It's the way they lost, right, And sometimes the way
- 19:30Speaker 5: you lose factors into the way you rebuild or if
- 19:34Speaker 5: you do anything at all. It takes incredible I would
- 19:38Speaker 5: argue that it takes. It is harder to stay the
- 19:42Speaker 5: course than it is to rebuild. You agree with me
- 19:45Speaker 5: on that, well, yeah, it's pretty hard. Changing at least
- 19:49Speaker 5: shows your fan base. Hey, we're trying to do something.
- 19:51Speaker 5: Staying the course doesn't translate that, even if it's the best.
- 19:54Speaker 4: It doesn't do.
- 19:55Speaker 3: But hang on the difference between where the Aves were
- 19:59Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one and maybe where the Nuggets are now.
- 20:03Speaker 3: The Avs in twenty twenty one told you one thing.
- 20:06Speaker 3: By keeping it together, they believe that team could still
- 20:09Speaker 3: win the title, and then they did. Can the Nuggets
- 20:14Speaker 3: brass look at this situation and say, I still think
- 20:18Speaker 3: this team can win a championship? Can they do that?
- 20:22Speaker 2: You know, even trying to be quiet, it's not I
- 20:24Speaker 2: know it's not working.
- 20:26Speaker 1: But here's the difference. Here's the difference between the Avs
- 20:28Speaker 1: and the Nuggets.
- 20:30Speaker 5: The Nuggets are mired in a financial Their financial situation
- 20:37Speaker 5: given the salary cap in the repeater tax, is nasty.
- 20:40Speaker 4: Correct.
- 20:40Speaker 1: The Avs were not in that situation.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Hey no, but let me they were though victory like this,
- 20:48Speaker 5: They were not like this.
- 20:49Speaker 3: They couldn't make some giant moves in the offseason while
- 20:52Speaker 3: keeping the team together.
- 20:53Speaker 5: I'm talking about keeping the team together in the first place.
- 20:56Speaker 5: The roster you see for the Nuggets right now, whether
- 20:58Speaker 5: win or lose, is going to be different roster because
- 21:00Speaker 5: of the financial member.
- 21:01Speaker 4: You're talking about. You're talking about Kale and Nate.
- 21:04Speaker 5: Yeah, that team and the big money that remained intact,
- 21:08Speaker 5: that didn't go anywhere.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It just it depends on what you consider the core
- 21:14Speaker 3: of this team.
- 21:14Speaker 5: I'm just doing the financial ramifications of the Nugget situation
- 21:20Speaker 5: far more grave, more difficult than what the Avs had.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It's true, Well, I will give the Nuggets credit in
- 21:27Speaker 2: this regard. They're not just standing pat They're trying to
- 21:29Speaker 2: do things the Avs the same way. And I love
- 21:32Speaker 2: what Nate said. Look, we weren't gonna win in twenty three,
- 21:34Speaker 2: we weren't gonna win in twenty four.
- 21:35Speaker 4: We knew that it was.
- 21:37Speaker 2: But last year we really we were gonna win, and
- 21:40Speaker 2: they had that very tough third period of Game seven.
- 21:45Speaker 2: That being said, the Nuggets have tried to do some
- 21:48Speaker 2: different things in the abs. Don't stand pat They keep
- 21:50Speaker 2: tweaking and tweaking because winning is hard. It's difficult. But
- 21:53Speaker 2: the thing is vic what you can't do is you
- 21:56Speaker 2: just can't let it get away from you.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Okay, you can't let it.
- 22:01Speaker 2: You can't let us start to slide back the other
- 22:03Speaker 2: way because that mountain to climb is going to be
- 22:05Speaker 2: you got it. We'll have to at least maintain where
- 22:07Speaker 2: you are and then go from there up again.
- 22:10Speaker 4: It's hard to do.
- 22:11Speaker 3: I'll point this out the Nuggets. What everybody wanted was
- 22:19Speaker 3: to see them go all in and push their chips
- 22:21Speaker 3: to the middle of the table and make some actual moves.
- 22:23Speaker 3: For years, the nuggets entire emo was keep it together
- 22:27Speaker 3: and add little pieces to the mixed. Little piece here,
- 22:31Speaker 3: little draft pick here, little free agency vet minimum here.
- 22:35Speaker 3: That's what they did, and people are like, why are
- 22:36Speaker 3: we doing this? Go out and actually make moves to
- 22:39Speaker 3: improve the team. Have you ever seen an offseason, at
- 22:43Speaker 3: least in recent memory, that looked like the one the
- 22:45Speaker 3: Nuggets had last year? No, as far as trying to
- 22:48Speaker 3: acquire multiple talented players and not like that and not
- 22:53Speaker 3: feeling like man, everything sort of fit from that fit Yeah,
- 22:57Speaker 3: to Tim Hardaway Junior, to Bruce Spring, adding Cam Johnson.
- 23:01Speaker 3: I guess flipping that for Michael Porter Junior. They did
- 23:05Speaker 3: the thing that we were asking for and it was
- 23:07Speaker 3: the worst result they've had maybe in the entire iteration
- 23:11Speaker 3: of the Jokich Nuggets. It was the worst finish, even
- 23:15Speaker 3: the series you get swept by the Phoenix Suns. What
- 23:17Speaker 3: a second round series you lose in five to Golden
- 23:21Speaker 3: State back in twenty twenty two. That was with Porter
- 23:26Speaker 3: and Murray both out of the postseason. This was the worst.
- 23:30Speaker 3: The worst finish was the one that actually required the
- 23:34Speaker 3: most offseason moves.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are hearing me on this.
- 23:39Speaker 5: The Nuggets roster, whether you want to make extreme changes,
- 23:43Speaker 5: is going to look different. Regardless that you can't afford
- 23:48Speaker 5: to bring Tim Hardaway back, not on this roster, not
- 23:52Speaker 5: where the money is. You can't bring Yona's Valancunis back.
- 23:58Speaker 5: There are guys that are all dramatically going to be
- 24:01Speaker 5: off this roster because of the repeater tax situation that
- 24:05Speaker 5: they're going into well.
- 24:06Speaker 3: What are they gonna do with Yonis he signed a
- 24:08Speaker 3: two year deal, he can choose to come back.
- 24:10Speaker 1: No, it's team option.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Oh, that's a team option, second year team option. Yeah,
- 24:16Speaker 3: I'm I know. There's gonna be new stuff. I mean
- 24:18Speaker 3: every team has new things that they have to deal
- 24:20Speaker 3: with in the off season. Guys, they got to offload whatever.
- 24:25Speaker 3: But Vic, the question still kind of remains on what
- 24:28Speaker 3: do you consider the core of this team and do
- 24:31Speaker 3: you believe in that moving forward or are you done
- 24:34Speaker 3: with the idea? And this is the main premise of
- 24:36Speaker 3: the off season. One question you have to answer, are
- 24:40Speaker 3: you done with the idea that Murray, Jokic and Gordon
- 24:45Speaker 3: are the core three pieces to a championship?
- 24:47Speaker 4: That is a decision to make.
- 24:49Speaker 5: I'm going to answer this question as delicately and diplomatic,
- 24:53Speaker 5: diplomatically and as bluntly as I can the amalgamation of
- 24:59Speaker 5: all three if you guaranteed health for all three players
- 25:05Speaker 5: in the important games the playoffs, I'd say.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Let's do it.
- 25:09Speaker 4: I totally take it right now, totally agree, but.
- 25:12Speaker 1: You can't guarantee it.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Totally agree.
- 25:15Speaker 2: He's in the issue, He's He's right that's exactly where
- 25:19Speaker 2: it is. And this is why it's so difficult, because
- 25:22Speaker 2: if you can guarantee health for those three dudes.
- 25:26Speaker 4: You're damn right. I want to run it back. Heck
- 25:29Speaker 4: yes I do.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Look at you know, I forget.
- 25:31Speaker 5: But one of the local columnists maybe is Troy who
- 25:34Speaker 5: made this point, and he was right on. Aaron Gordon
- 25:36Speaker 5: to the Nuggets is what Gabriel Landeskog means to the Apps.
- 25:39Speaker 5: Without Gabriel Landeskog that void for three years. You saw it,
- 25:42Speaker 5: you saw the void. You bring him back, and you
- 25:44Speaker 5: see the difference. Right, Aaron Gordon to the Nuggets locker
- 25:47Speaker 5: room is the exact same way.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Yeah, AG plays.
- 25:53Speaker 2: You typically win when if pe watts in there swatting
- 25:57Speaker 2: stuff and run on the floor.
- 25:59Speaker 5: But an AG who is playing without any concern because
- 26:04Speaker 5: you could play, but you could tell it's not him, correct.
- 26:08Speaker 2: There's no trust in his body. Vic, How let me
- 26:12Speaker 2: ask you this. It's not even on AG. How could
- 26:14Speaker 2: you trust your body when your body repeatedly lets you down?
- 26:18Speaker 4: How do you trust your body?
- 26:19Speaker 5: So, if you're asking me the question, hey, can you
- 26:21Speaker 5: run it back with the core of the team those
- 26:23Speaker 5: three guys, I'd say, hell yeah, if you could sign
- 26:26Speaker 5: on a piece of paper that they're gonna play.
- 26:30Speaker 3: I think one of the more important questions that you're
- 26:33Speaker 3: gonna find out today too is they're gonna be asking
- 26:36Speaker 3: about Peyton Watson. What happens there. I'm telling you right
- 26:41Speaker 3: now the idea I've told you how important I think
- 26:44Speaker 3: he's going to be to the future of this team
- 26:46Speaker 3: because you don't have young, talented players that you believe
- 26:48Speaker 3: in right now. He is like the only one we
- 26:51Speaker 3: can say, oh, well, what if Doron Holmes. I don't
- 26:53Speaker 3: those are all ifs. You know, Peyton Watson can play
- 26:57Speaker 3: at least to a decent level, and maybe more than
- 26:59Speaker 3: that given more time.
- 27:00Speaker 2: And a lot of people think you can. And that's
- 27:03Speaker 2: why he's gonna get paid.
- 27:04Speaker 3: The idea of Peyton Watson leaving this team for free,
- 27:11Speaker 3: I think is just it can't happen.
- 27:13Speaker 1: Well, the only other solution if you want to keep
- 27:16Speaker 1: him is someone else.
- 27:18Speaker 4: Has to go.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 27:21Speaker 5: I don't think people are understanding what the repeater tax
- 27:23Speaker 5: is and why they're trying to stay out of the
- 27:25Speaker 5: repeater tax. It's not a question, and I'm gonna be
- 27:28Speaker 5: again clear, it's not a question to being cheap, like,
- 27:31Speaker 5: oh they're cheap, they don't. Do you understand what the
- 27:33Speaker 5: repeater tax will do to your team and your roster
- 27:36Speaker 5: build and your ability to actually move do you want to?
- 27:38Speaker 5: I mean look into maybe we have to bring Jake
- 27:40Speaker 5: Coin back on the show again to explain what the
- 27:43Speaker 5: repeater tax is. It's far more pressing and far more
- 27:48Speaker 5: difficult to navigate than just the apron.
- 27:52Speaker 4: Well, I would say.
- 27:53Speaker 3: This, all these taxes and aprons, you can do that
- 27:58Speaker 3: if you think your roster is championship for the exact case,
- 28:03Speaker 3: can go into repeater taxes and because they don't want
- 28:06Speaker 3: to lose any pieces, because they're good enough to win
- 28:08Speaker 3: for multiple years.
- 28:09Speaker 5: But if you have any doubt of that, and that's
- 28:10Speaker 5: where that's such a good point, Brett, because that's what
- 28:13Speaker 5: I want to get down to. If you're confident that
- 28:16Speaker 5: this roster is a championship roster, screw any taxes, let's go.
- 28:20Speaker 5: But if you have a shredded doubt, and that that
- 28:22Speaker 5: could come in many forms.
- 28:23Speaker 1: It can come in the form.
- 28:24Speaker 5: You're throwing good money at bad things exactly, comes in
- 28:27Speaker 5: the form of can these guys stay healthy? And it
- 28:31Speaker 5: means such it's such an incalculable entity. You can't you
- 28:37Speaker 5: that's you can't even begin to predict.
- 28:39Speaker 3: And to lay it out there if you're looking at
- 28:42Speaker 3: things honestly, and you can say injuries are a factor,
- 28:45Speaker 3: and they were. You lost to what is likely the
- 28:48Speaker 3: third best team in the Western Conference in the first round.
- 28:52Speaker 1: And there's teams out there. Yeah.
- 28:54Speaker 5: Sometimes, another good point by you, Brett. God, you got
- 28:57Speaker 5: some points today. You have to sometimes look at the
- 29:00Speaker 5: landscape around you, and it's not just the Western Conference,
- 29:02Speaker 5: it's your own freaking division. Look at your division, Look
- 29:06Speaker 5: at your division, and look who you're up against in
- 29:09Speaker 5: your own division.
- 29:12Speaker 1: If the landscape.
- 29:13Speaker 5: Tells you you got to be near perfect, you can't
- 29:16Speaker 5: just roll the dice on health.
- 29:19Speaker 1: You can't. You gotta be sure.
- 29:21Speaker 4: I hate to.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Say it this way, but for all those years that
- 29:25Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC West and the
- 29:28Speaker 3: Broncos were eight nine win team, right, not terrible middle
- 29:32Speaker 3: of the road. If I told you in those years
- 29:35Speaker 3: go into a repeater tax, you can't really add to
- 29:37Speaker 3: the roster. And Patrick Mahomes is still playing for the Chiefs.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Knock yourself out.
- 29:40Speaker 3: You can't do it.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I agree to do it now.
- 29:46Speaker 3: NFL different from the NBA, obviously, but still these are
- 29:50Speaker 3: the questions that got to be answered today, and we'll
- 29:51Speaker 3: have it live right here in ninety two five at
- 29:53Speaker 3: eleven o'clock.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Why does Jordan Speef stink so bad?
- 29:57Speaker 3: You know what, I don't need your fantasy golf.
- 30:00Speaker 1: See, the Boston Celtics did.
- 30:02Speaker 5: What's facing the Nuggets and their decision makers right now.
- 30:05Speaker 5: The Boston Celtics have same decisions to make a year ago.
- 30:08Speaker 5: They looked at the roster and they said, can we
- 30:10Speaker 5: assuredly win.
- 30:11Speaker 1: A championship with this? If we have any doubts?
- 30:14Speaker 5: All right, sell off porzingis get rid of who else
- 30:18Speaker 5: did they get rid of off that roster? Was it
- 30:20Speaker 5: Drew Holliday or did he leave the year before Drew Holiday?
- 30:23Speaker 3: But they did make the decision to keep like Derek
- 30:25Speaker 3: White's and guys like that, like they did.
- 30:27Speaker 5: Yeah, but they also shaved a lot because they were
- 30:30Speaker 5: so deep into the tacks.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Well they initially vic I think, decided to run it
- 30:35Speaker 3: back and then it was the Tatum injury that kind
- 30:38Speaker 3: of forced their hand on a few things. But uh,
- 30:41Speaker 3: three oh three, five, four nine, two five, drunk takes
- 30:43Speaker 3: next Game three tomorrow seven o'clock asim Walde. And guess
- 30:49Speaker 3: what if you go to Stoney's on Lincoln with the
- 30:53Speaker 3: Altitude Sports Radio Playoff viewing party tour powered by Micheloboltra,
- 30:56Speaker 3: you can find great Micheloboultra deals and a chance to
- 30:59Speaker 3: win and autographed to Gabe Landeskog Jersey. They'll have special
- 31:04Speaker 3: pregame between the pipes starting at five o'clock and DMAC hosting.
- 31:08Speaker 3: So get on down to Stony's on Lincoln tomorrow for
- 31:12Speaker 3: Game three seven o'clock.
- 31:16Speaker 2: If I was in town work, I would absolutely go
- 31:21Speaker 2: to Stoney's because that place is good. Food is good,
- 31:26Speaker 2: it's fun, it's big. I'm just I think they have
- 31:30Speaker 2: a golden tea there. If I'm not mistaken, they have
- 31:32Speaker 2: a golden tea in that back room. If I'm not mistaken.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Help me out, people.
- 31:37Speaker 3: I tried to get one of those by the way
- 31:39Speaker 3: for my basement.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Well you can't.
- 31:42Speaker 3: You can't carry it. You need a forklift. Yeah, it's
- 31:46Speaker 3: there a million pounds and.
- 31:47Speaker 4: There are a million they're expensive too. Well, I was gonna.
- 31:50Speaker 3: I was getting it for free. That's why I was like, yeah,
- 31:52Speaker 3: we'll take it right that one. Yeah, you try and
- 31:55Speaker 3: move one of those, it's like you need to forget
- 31:57Speaker 3: about it. You mean helicopter like how they move elephants.
- 32:01Speaker 4: You need a helicopter.
- 32:02Speaker 1: You need to strap it around there.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Car. I want to be the one that feeds the
- 32:05Speaker 4: mover guy. Yeah.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Yeah, again, the the Acts are doing something right now.
- 32:13Speaker 3: That is just it feels pretty special, like they feel
- 32:16Speaker 3: like just a special team that is gotten those vibes
- 32:20Speaker 3: of twenty twenty two or whatever year you want to
- 32:22Speaker 3: point to. They have everything working right now. There's really
- 32:26Speaker 3: not a distinct weakness within the game. They've had moments
- 32:29Speaker 3: or lapses. I suppose maybe defensively, sure, but haven't played
- 32:33Speaker 3: a perfect game. But it's always been like, think about this,
- 32:37Speaker 3: if they've been playing like there, would you say most
- 32:40Speaker 3: B plus level game.
- 32:41Speaker 4: I'd say probably BB plus and they're six and zero.
- 32:47Speaker 1: It's tough to beat most. Worry you're going to station
- 32:50Speaker 1: yourself at that arena.
- 32:52Speaker 2: I have a seat in the press box, but I
- 32:54Speaker 2: don't know that I'm gonna stay there.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Where would you go?
- 32:58Speaker 2: Well? I can I have the don't discount my ability
- 33:02Speaker 2: to roam?
- 33:03Speaker 1: Yeah, do you get nervous energy?
- 33:05Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
- 33:07Speaker 5: I get the same thing. I can't stand during games.
- 33:10Speaker 5: I just there's no way I can sit vic. Let
- 33:12Speaker 5: me let me ask you this that happened. Yeah, I agree.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Let me ask you this.
- 33:16Speaker 2: What is the most determined team you've ever covered?
- 33:21Speaker 1: What do you mean by determined?
- 33:22Speaker 2: Like just like the determination to win by this particular
- 33:26Speaker 2: group is like nothing I've ever seen, or it's as
- 33:29Speaker 2: good as I've ever seen.
- 33:30Speaker 5: Well, when you're in the moment, you don't really sense
- 33:32Speaker 5: that as much. After the fact, you see the determination
- 33:35Speaker 5: because it results in whatever you I see.
- 33:37Speaker 2: The determination out of this Avalanche club every single day.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Lantiscog was on I'll give you the quote again. Sure,
- 33:45Speaker 3: yesterday gave Lantiscog this from Peter Baugh. I think for us,
- 33:51Speaker 3: there's still another level in our game to get to
- 33:54Speaker 3: and we'll continue working towards it.
- 33:56Speaker 4: Well, they're not Yeah, they're not unbeatable. Don't get me wrong.
- 33:59Speaker 4: It's not that they're unbeatable.
- 34:01Speaker 2: It's just that for the determination that I think I
- 34:04Speaker 2: see out of this group, for it to change at
- 34:07Speaker 2: this point or to go or rye would be shocking
- 34:09Speaker 2: to me.
- 34:10Speaker 3: And if Minnesota had these these grand plans of getting
- 34:14Speaker 3: Eric sinak Er Brodine back will Neither of them have
- 34:17Speaker 3: skated since their injuries. And that's according their head coach yesterday.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Correct.
- 34:20Speaker 3: So they aren't just gonna pop back on the ice
- 34:22Speaker 3: tomorrow night.
- 34:22Speaker 4: But they are going.
- 34:24Speaker 2: They're not, but I'm telling you right now, they are
- 34:26Speaker 2: going to be flying tomorrow night.
- 34:30Speaker 4: Minnesota is vic.
- 34:31Speaker 2: It's gonna be like a tsunami of green sweaters coming
- 34:36Speaker 2: at you.
- 34:37Speaker 4: They're gonna really go.
- 34:39Speaker 1: If you know they're gonna come with everything, you just
- 34:42Speaker 1: going to shell mode for the first few minutes.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Absolutely not no, but this is where but this is
- 34:47Speaker 2: where quick decision making and good support by your teammates
- 34:51Speaker 2: is gonna be critical.
- 34:53Speaker 4: Quick outlets, don't let them.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Jump you because play around with the puck. That is correct,
- 34:57Speaker 2: no doubt. I mean quick, use your leg pigs, find
- 35:00Speaker 2: an outlet and go.
- 35:01Speaker 4: Also period.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Also this can I add a key, a late key
- 35:05Speaker 3: to the keys to the game. Sure you know that
- 35:08Speaker 3: Minnesota is gonna come out with their hair on fire.
- 35:10Speaker 3: They know this is their last chance to get back
- 35:12Speaker 3: in the series. They drop this game, it's over. But
- 35:16Speaker 3: they don't know who They're more confident in between the
- 35:19Speaker 3: pipes throw every puck you can on them, and just
- 35:23Speaker 3: see whichever goalie, whether it's Volstep, whether it's Gustafson, throw
- 35:26Speaker 3: pucks at him, and just see are you on your
- 35:28Speaker 3: game or not, because you've got to be thinking there's
- 35:31Speaker 3: going to be that creeping feeling of if I don't
- 35:34Speaker 3: play well to start this game, there's gonna be a
- 35:36Speaker 3: hook that comes.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Really and.
- 35:41Speaker 2: They again, they are if they go over the line,
- 35:46Speaker 2: if they cross that line, they're gonna get dinged for it.
- 35:49Speaker 2: And then what's gonna happen to the box and the
- 35:53Speaker 2: ebbs and the power play dynamite.
- 35:55Speaker 3: And their PK has been garbage.
- 35:57Speaker 4: Yep. So you've got a lot.
- 35:58Speaker 2: If you're the Colorado Avalone, the best road team in
- 36:02Speaker 2: a National hockey league this season, tied a franchise record
- 36:05Speaker 2: for road wins, you've got a lot going for you.
- 36:08Speaker 2: You're professional, you're smart, determined, you want, you have this
- 36:13Speaker 2: internal want.
- 36:15Speaker 4: A lot going for you right now.
- 36:16Speaker 3: If this is a boxing match, we're in like round seven,
- 36:19Speaker 3: you've already knocked them down. Once you've won six out
- 36:21Speaker 3: of seven rounds. They know our only chance now is
- 36:24Speaker 3: to come back and just start hooking. They need to
- 36:27Speaker 3: hit some sort of massive swing to turn this thing around,
- 36:30Speaker 3: because it's not just about winning game three, it's about
- 36:33Speaker 3: winning game three and being confident moving forward. Beyond that,
- 36:37Speaker 3: you're gonna get their best shot. And I'm actually excited
- 36:39Speaker 3: to see how the AFS are gonna react to it
- 36:41Speaker 3: because LA did the same thing. But LA didn't have
- 36:44Speaker 3: Caprice Soft, they didn't have Quinn Hughes, they didn't have Boldie,
- 36:47Speaker 3: they didn't have those kind of guys. How does this
- 36:51Speaker 3: response from a better team than LA? How does that look?
- 36:54Speaker 5: Moj I never asked you this, and I guess it's
- 36:56Speaker 5: it's unfair to ask because one resulted in the Stanley
- 36:59Speaker 5: Cup Championship, this one.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Is on its way there. Which rosters more talented? This
- 37:04Speaker 1: one or the one in twenty two? Oh?
- 37:08Speaker 3: They are close.
- 37:09Speaker 4: Uh, they're very close.
- 37:12Speaker 2: But nas was your second line center in twenty twenty two,
- 37:16Speaker 2: and that was your third line center.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Darcy Kemper didn't lead the league and say percentage of
- 37:20Speaker 3: goals against either, No, he did not. I mean that's
- 37:23Speaker 3: that's the thing, though, is this team's got They don't
- 37:26Speaker 3: have a distinct weakness that you can exploit. They might
- 37:29Speaker 3: not they might not have something great on a given night,
- 37:32Speaker 3: but overall they're pretty solid.
- 37:36Speaker 4: JT. Komfort was your third line center.
- 37:40Speaker 2: But you know what, I love the Helm and Cogliano
- 37:42Speaker 2: aspect of that team too. That's a great question, Vic.
- 37:46Speaker 2: Let me chew on that. Get back to you on Monday.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Oh really on it for a while, comet you.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Let's see if they win game three first.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Yeah, so you'll answer that in about a month.
- 37:55Speaker 3: All right, let's get to our favorite part of the week. Please,
- 37:57Speaker 3: Drunk Takes party and Kane person.
- 38:03Speaker 5: Drunk Takes for the record, I think this sort of
- 38:07Speaker 5: dehumanizes us.
- 38:11Speaker 1: And it really cracks out our credibility to the show.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Drunk Takes.
- 38:18Speaker 3: Drunk Takes their clips from throughout the week. They slow
- 38:21Speaker 3: him down to half speed. It makes it sound like

- 38:32Speaker 3: so shot magnicultures.
