• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardy and Kane on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio not E two five and on the Altitude Sports
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Radio app.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: That is Eric Johnson and he joins us now in
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the Ramos Law hot Line. How many teams in the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: West outside of the Apps and the Stars you think
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: have a shot.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: To come out?
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: I would say Vegas. The way they're playing right now,
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: since Towarts has come over, and the way Carter Hart's
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: played the last few games, Vegas is gonna be a
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: tough out. So's that's my second team behind Colorado on
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the West.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: You know that's interesting.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I know you played for Torts, but to bring in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a guy I think was seven games left in the season,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a coach that was outside the system and just be like,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: hey go coaches in the postseason.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Is that that's gotta be weird for the players in
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the locker room.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Right Yeah. I think they did their research, though Vegas did,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: and they know what whor it can bring right away.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: For me, the biggest thing is Towarts knows he doesn't
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: have to do a whole lot with that team because
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: they're a veteran group. And they know how to win,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: they know how to play. He just has to tweak
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: a few things here and there. So yeah, I mean
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: he has such presence when he gets into a locker room,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and he's so entertaining to listen to, and you just
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: have so much respect for him that I think it
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: was a great move by Vegas.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: All Right, we made it. We made it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Everybody, Congratulations, it was a long time or finally here
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Nelly win was the date on that again?
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: When did I talk to DJ April fifteenth and that was.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: The extended Appetizer show? Oh my god, that was a
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It was a long time ago, and I remember, I'll
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: be the first to admit it. When he said that,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: my first thought was, Vegas ain't doing this with a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: coach they signed on to, you know, five days before
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And to their credit, I mean, look at Vegas is
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: doing this. Look where they're at now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I'll say this going into this game tonight. There's a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: lot of audio that we can get to in a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: little bit. I did MOJ I guess I don't remember this.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Does the NHL always do a press conference with the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: GM heading into the conference final?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Slate?
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: I can't remember it being the way it was yesterday
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: where they had the GM and the coach of both
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: teams talk. It seemed odd to me, and then a
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: couple of select players, who was Nathan McKinnon and Gabrielandeskog yesterday.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: I can't remember it like that, but not bad. I
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: didn't I didn't mind it at all. Oh, I thought
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: some very thoughtful answers.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was fine.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying like, I don't I don't remember, like
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: George Peyton doing a press conference before the AFC Championship
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: game last year.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: It just felt like weird timing. But I've never seen
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that before. But it's fine. You know, it's good to
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: hear from semac every once.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: In a while.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: He's the architect. Yeah, he put this thing together.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Well. Vegas is going into a conference final and they
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: got their GM answering questions about why they aren't allowing
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Bruce Cassidy to do interviews with people, and he's like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: can we talk about the series?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: You mean you mean Tortorella. Oh no, Bruce, I thought
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: you meant Tortorella after the last game.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, being denied head coaching and the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: guy they fired in April Vick.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, I know what's happening.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Several teams will like to talk to him, or at
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: least a couple of teams would like to talk to him.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: And you know what, VACAS comes across as a very
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: ruthless organization, like they will go to the extremes on
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: these things. Is that fair, moj Are they ruthless? I
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: don't know that they're ruthless.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I think I have other words other adjectives.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: Who plays for San Antonio?
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Vassal and Castle?
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: Oh oh yeah, got they have a lot of good
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: players at San Antonio.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah they do. We'll hear from coach Bednar today at
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: eight am.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: He's going to join us in an hour, so we'll
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: get a full preview of this game tonight in Moje.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: If I may, if I can play the role of
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: hockey Brett for a moment with you, can I give
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you what I think are the top three things heading
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: into this series?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: No, I think he can.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's funny. Vic. I wasn't asking you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I said Moses.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Vic was the practice yesterday? Yeah, So see what amaze is.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Gathering information that's very important.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Do you know how black hole just sucks in everything. Yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Vic is a hockey black hole. He's there one time
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: and he absorbs it all. I know so much right now, See,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: I mean his brain is swelling.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Well, here's what I give you. Number one, I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: this is everybody's number one. What's Kim mc carr going
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to be like? Well, he wasn't a practice, that's the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: number one.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Thing I do.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I think he plays tonight. Yeah, I think he plays.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: There's a weird Malensky quote from yesterday that I want
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to talk about for a second where he I don't
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: know if it's just a poor choice of words regarding maccarr,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: but we'll get to it in a little bit. Number
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: one is first of all, is cal playing? Second of all,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: how effective is kil going to be if he does play?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: That's number one. Number two Carter Hart has been good
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in this postseason, but he has not faced a team
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: like the Utah Mammoth averaged three goals a game against
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: him in the first round. Utah is not the Avalanche
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: on slot of shots in talent?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Correct? Can you make him look like.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: The rest of the Vegas goalies from the regular season
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: this year, which was a little bit iffy, we'll find out.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And thirdly, how much of a factor is the depth
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: going to be in much the same way that the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Wild. And this is a big thing for me.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You looked at the production of the Wild and they
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: had the graphics up before the series started.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Which three would you rather take?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: McKinnon, mccarr, Nachis or Caprice of f Hughes and Boldie. Well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: most they rendered Boldy pretty useless for a good portion
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of that series.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: They did.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Capri Stoff had one shot on gold the final two
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: games of that series.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Correct, Hughes was good.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: If you look at Hughes was great. Yes, he's all
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: over the place. If you limit.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: The top end of Vegas's roster in the same way
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that you did with Minnesota, can that be the big
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: difference maker?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Considering the Avs throw kind of everybody out.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Well, imagine us looking at their lineup. Here's who cracks
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: me up? And this is where I want to whenever
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: that good? Those three pretty damn good ones. Britt, Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I don't mind that at all. When you look at
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: vic the Golden Knights lineup and you say, wow, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: know the line you want to take away this is
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: Johnny Lyle's big thing. Take away the Carlson line. He's
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: back and Mitch Marner have this chemistry thing going on. Now,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Martin's elevated even more, and Howden's flying around k Fine
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: and you go, well, you know, you look at the
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: top one, I mean, Kole and d'orfev and Barbashev's gonna run.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Barb Shove is like a refrigerator. He's like six foot two,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: twenty two ten whatever. He's like a box, right hitting
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: box that can score. So you're like, oh, that's that
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: seems kind of dangerous, even if you take away or
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: try to take away the Carlson line out of well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: look at the avalanche.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I mean look, look look the other way around. Look
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: at the appstop. Look at what they're saying about this.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, bro, we often get lost in that, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: that's that's sort of we know this team, so it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: common practice. Since we know this team so well, we've
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: experienced this team, all we can do is talk about
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the other team.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: Are their concerns. Yeah, we were talking about Colton Sissons.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: That guy, that guy can be in a coma.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I remember him from Nashville.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Vic, he can be in a coma for two months.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Coma abs are in town scores two Like, he shows
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: up at the rake and he pops too, and you're like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: the hell's going on with that guy?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Hurdles a big, thick veteran centerman. Now, Hurdle's been around
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: for an awfully long time. Uh, you know, it was
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Gangbusters with the Sharks for an awfully long time and
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: so on. And Brandon Sad is not probably what he
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: used to be even with the Avalanche, but he's a
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: body that's gonna throw his weight around on that fourth line.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: For Vegas, it's gonna.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Throw their weight around too, kicking. Kolasar is a hitter.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: He leads the hitting parades. So they've got a lot
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: of stuff going for them. If it was the other
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: way around, if I was in Vegas looking at the
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: AVS lineup, I'd be going.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Wow, damn all right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: I mean there are concerns when you look at Vegas. Yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: if I was in Vegas looking at the Avs, I'd
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: be going m MoMA mia, I'd be doing one of
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: those for sure.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Now here's what I tell you when you head into
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: this series. The good news is, this is what Bennar
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: said yesterday. We'll talk to him at eight o'clock this morning,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: see if there's anything different. He said, no concerns yet
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: with kil mccarr's availability for tomorrow.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: That's not how it went down. Oh okay, go ahead.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Oh how was it like this, Kim McCarty concerns about tomorrow?
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: We'll see he goes not yet.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Hm, that was it. They haven't seen him. He hasn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: been a practice. He hasn't not yet. How do you
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: how do you have a concern unless he gets jostled,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: he gets touched, he gets hit.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I I see what they're doing here. You're trying to
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: keep him in a bubble until it's time to go
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and see how he reacts. It's exactly what's happening most
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: don't you agree? Yes, I mean like you're telling him
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: at home. Hey listen, I don't want you using the
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: remote control. Just sit there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Do you have do you have a designated door knob opener?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, all of that. Don't do anything. I would love
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: to have that. By the way, like, don't even go
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: to the bathroom.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I mentioned you were so rich. It's just like I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: not touching that dirty handle, open that door.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Well, we we had to drink COVID. Those little things
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: that you you used, what the door, the thing on
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: the foot where you had to open the door with
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: your foot. I don't think I've ever had those bathrooms.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: The bottom of the door foot claw so.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: You don't have to touch the handle. You can push your
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: foot down.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big I don't like touching the handle
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: after a bathroom.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Actually, the odds would be victory, that would probably be
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: the cleanest.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: That's a good point because but I'm saying that that
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: that is not outweighed by the fact that every other
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: door handle in the place, you and me.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I washed my hands, I grabbed the paper towels by
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: my hand, and then I grabbed the handle with the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: paper towels.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I do that a lot, and then throw the paper
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: towel away as I walk. Sometimes I wait for someone
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: to walk in, and I waited the bathroom waiting for
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: the door to open.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: And then you just kick for someone to open the
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: bathroom door.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: That's good anyway. But we're here, dudes, are you excited?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: We're here?
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Finally, finally, But again, this break was good. It was good.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: You needed time for these guys to get healthier.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: I was listening to Chris Pronger talk about extended time off,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: and it was more in conjunction. I don't know how
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: you feel about this, Vic, being a doctor of physiology
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: like you are. Yeah, it was more in conjunction with
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: the Carolina Hurricanes having twelve days off. He said, if
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: you're dealing with something, If you're dealing with something.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Rest is good.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: So like four or five maybe six days is good, right,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: he says, But what you don't want your body doing
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: is you don't want your body to be off nine
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: days going, Okay, we're in a recovery mode. Now, we're
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: an off season recovery mode. You don't hurricanes well, I mean,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: I don't know if they're dealing with anything major anyway,
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: but you're these things that are hurting your Body's like
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: in okay, let's we're in the office. It's recover, remode,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: and then we'll get back to the gym in a
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: month and that kind of thing. That's a kind of
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: an interesting way to look at it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the way I look at it.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: If you're dealing with something severe or something that's painful,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: or something that hey, you know what, you give it
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: a good ten days, you're gonna be good.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I'm all for it. I'm all for it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, wake your body up, Say hey, we're not in
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: recovery mode. We're in play mode again. Oh okay, But
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: I just I thought it was an interesting way to
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: look at it from a Carolina perspective.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: So again, we'll talk to Jared Bennard eight o'clock this morning,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: so stay tuned for that, as he will give us
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: whatever he can. I suppose heading into this first game
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: against Vegas, it's it is a very I think, intriguing,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: an interesting sort of matchup where you talk about two
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: teams that are familiar with each other, both teams, big
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: time playoff experience, especially recently, and this, as Vick would
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: call it, substitute teacher bumped they've gotten from torts is crazy. Now,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: if you guys missed it from yesterday, I thought the
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: NHL was going to initially throw the hammer at them
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: from the no post game availability thing, just to kind
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of walk it back later send a stern message to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: everybody else.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: They did not overturn that at all, not yet.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: No.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I thought it was what do you mean yet? I
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: thought Vegas is getting docked the second round or officially.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Now, I think there's everybody seems to think there is
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: still a little wiggle room down the line about the
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: pick not towards Hotter G's that's that's Hey. Can you
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: imagine how much is Towarts being paid for this little
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: of a season where he's getting fined one hundred grad Like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: is that his entire check probably five million pro rated
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: over the course of whatever. I don't know. Players don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: get paid in the postseason, by the way, you get
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: paid in the regular season.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Coaches not a dime. Not a dime. Wait, they don't.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: They don't get extra game checks.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Well they get I mean they get money for each
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: round they go. But don't get this is not part
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: of the salary, the check stop essentially.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's like the same as every other sport.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. Yeah, okay, you said that, like

  Speaker 6: they I don't. I don't know what it's different for coaches.

  Speaker 3: You have to do this. I can get my hands
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: one hundred cake.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: I mean I guess I. I guess I I could,
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: but it wouldn't be I mean, it would be immediate jumping.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Through the only thing you could do, like sell your house.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: But who's gonna give you one hundred grand today? But
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: you'd have to liquidate a bunch of stuff.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, you gotta get it by the end of
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, You're gonna have to kill me. It's okay,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: it's also option what. I'll take that option, you know what,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: for the sake of my family a decent life insurance policy.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: If you just kill me, they'll make out pretty good.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Actually, as a guy who grew up selling things outside
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: of the Safeway to raise money for athletics and cub Scouts,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I think I can generate a hunter k by the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: end of the day.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: You and little Timmy jingle jingling a mason jar outside
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the front of Safeway.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: So here's I just go to Nevada the mos wrench.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Vic's just gonna start mass producing selling those k like that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's how it works.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: So listen, there's a quote from Lensky and and look,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: maybe this is like out of context or or not
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: translated with the correct tone. I don't know, but it
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: is concerning surrounding kill speaks English. I no, I mean
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: translated to text without the proper tone. Okay, it's it's
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: about Kale. It's a little bit weird. So I'll give
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: you the quote from this article on Sportsnet in just
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: a second three five, four, nine to two five back
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: after this, all right, Jared Bednar is going to join
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: us in forty minutes. Can I give you this quote
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: here for Sam Lensky and you tell me, am I
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: just reading too much into this story on Sportsnet. Avalanche
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: not concerned yet as cal mccarr misses another practice. So
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: they got the quote from Jared Bednar where you you
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: quoted him? No, not yet, that's what he said. Yep,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that's what he's going to give us this morning.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Did that was the end?
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: I think that was the end of the news conference
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: or close to the very end.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Let me read you Sam Olinsky from this article though,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and tell me what you think about this. The twenty
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: seven year old mccarr has four goals in and assists
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: while averaging nearly twenty five minutes of ice time to
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: two rounds. He's a crucial part of their offensive and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: offensive and special teams. Plans asked what he'd say to
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: fans about missing mccarr for Game one, Fellow defenseman Sam
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Malinsky responded, quote, I don't know what to tell them. Obviously,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it would be great to have him out there. You
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: can't replace him, and we're going to miss him out there. Yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: hopefully we can still get it done without him.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: That's what he'd say.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Is that hypothetical? That's the hypothetical scenario being asked.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I was listening to a lot of these interviews. That's
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: a hypothetical. What would you say to fans if he
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: couldn't go inlation? That is correct every question that I
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: you know, I sort of peeked in a little bit.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let me tell you something.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: You know what Vick is.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I've got it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Vic is the perfect hockey dressing room hummingbird, you know
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: what I mean, with a long beak. So he's not
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: exactly in the flower, right, He's got the long beak
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: on the outside of the flower, which is the scrum,
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: and he's hummingbirds to this guy, humming birds over here.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: You know how hummingbird moves fast like that?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely Wait wait, look at the camera. Is
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: this is this Vic. Look at the zoom. Is this
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Vic Master evesdropper. He's not a little bit dropper, just
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: just slow. He's not a hommy Burden ninja. Dude. He's
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: really good at it. I was talking a little bit,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: uh not Azem Kadri yesterday and I thought he had
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: some of the best commentary. Isn't he a thoughtful dude?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: He's great? Yeah, he really is. And and not to
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: misquote him, but some of the stuff he was talking
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: about common sense stuff. He goes, Listen, I don't care
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: who we've already played. This team we're about to play
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: has been here. They deserve to be here. And and
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: like it or not, Guys, there are still ghosts from
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: the past that exist between the Avs and the Golden Knights,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: and you have to exercise those demons. Are we on
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the same page with that? Well?
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: How much? I okay, how many guys in this Avalanche
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: team right now were there when they felt of a
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: in those six games in twenty one?
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Let's count obviously eight Nate Kale, Landy Taves, nobody has
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't on the team? You sure about that? Yeah?
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Taves. Taves came in before the Cup season, okay, A.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Right about that. Jeams arrived at beginning. Vow, Yeah, Vow
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: was on that team. Yep, it was Josh Manson on
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: that team. No he was not.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: He arrived in the trade deadline of twenty two.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: So they had a smaller blue line at that time.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Because I remember that was that was the source of
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Wait here you go, here you go motion. I saw
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: this yesterday. I found it AVS roster game six of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Top line was Sod McKinnon Ranton.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: And they stop. It's changed. Second line was Landy Comfort Natchushkin.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Three dudes.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: I meant j T. Konfor was your second line center?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Keep that in mind. Brandon was on the top line.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, third line was Burukowsky, Jost, O'Connor.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, so Logan was here. Fourth line was.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: So llc was here, but me Tyson Jost was your
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: nose and Cadri Oh, my.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Fourth line was new hook Belmar Donskoy. Okay, this is
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: a different.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Team on let me continue, Let me continue.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Blue line Tay's mccarr was at the top.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Okay, So Taves was Okay, so Taves was here.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: I listen, I remember Don Skoy. I know Don Skoy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: At the same time, who the hell is Donskoy.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Donskoy was the guy who was taken in the draft
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: from Seattle, right.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I remember him, I know him, and I'm still saying
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to myself who the hell is? Anyway, here's hang on hand.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: So Teaser was here, okay, your second was Gerard and
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Graves okay, and your third was nemeth In Timmins okay. Well, Connor,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Drew Bauer and Johansson being here, you're much Cadri was
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: suspended for that game.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: If you're much better today.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: You're You're, You're, You're just better.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Tim is just playing with Buffalo obviously.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: But some of those guys are out of the league. Yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I mean out of the league gone. Yeah, So I
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: mean different time, different team. But ghosts, I guess for
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the organization still exists, right because the way it went,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I suppose.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: But again, there are a very few Vegas Golden Knights
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: that were part of that team that beat the Avalanche
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: five years ago.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Mark Stone was there. He's out tonight, I know, but
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying he was there.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jay Theodore break down a lot more of this
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: in thirty minutes with the coach Jared Bednar.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I do want to ask you, guys.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Well, but just real quickly got to your BA that
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: was pure hypothetical type of situation.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, just making sure because I figured that was
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the case that Malensky wasn't revealing that.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Well, let me out, let me let me go logically here.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: I know he wasn't on the ice for the game
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: tying goal in the game winning goal against Minnesota, but
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: he did come back in the game, did he not?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: He played not?
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, why is the little dinghy on the thing?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, get the dinghy off the screen? A little dinghy
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: on the screen? Is that?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Is that set your version of Vic Eves dropping on
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the conversation.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: He's been there for minutes. You guys haven't even.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Noticed, jop so. But that's kind of the way it
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: operates in those scrums.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Jonah Coleman's on a good morning. That's awesome.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: Where was I You're.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Talking about the context, oh of of Malensky talking about
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the car.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're a little distracted by little and then and then.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: You said mccar wasn't there for the game winning goal,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: but he was there in overtime.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: So when the little dinghy shows up, you get distracted.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: If he came back, if he came back in that game,
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: if he left for prolong period of time and then
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: came back and played hockey. My thought is that in
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: the time he sat off, it's not like a lightning
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: bolt came it struck him again. Oh you're even worse
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: than you, I would think. And this is me just
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: being logically gifted. I suppose Vic and you're the doctor.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't it just get at least a little tiny bit
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: better over the course of the days they've been off
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: in rest?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: You think the concern trying to logical concerned that I
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: have though most if he takes a hit, is he
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: back to square one of them? I was, that's what
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I'm couldn't now we'll talk more about this with bed
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Narn thirty minutes. So I had ON on my second
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: screen last night, just sort of background calves and knicks,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and I was like, man, I can't believe the Calves
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: are gonna win this game. It's very boring.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Well, you're up twenty two with seven minutes to play.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: You figure it's locked up.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: It's ninety three to seventy one with seven forty nine
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: left in the game at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: are getting worked, which is rare because the Knicks have
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: been beating the hell out of everybody this postseason. Those
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: win probability flow chart things, you guys know what I'm
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: talking about, or you can go to certain points in
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the game, tells you your chance to win ninety nine
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: point nine percent chance to win.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: For the Cavs at that point, I'm gonna tell you
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: why the Caves lost. Keep going.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: They then get outscored forty four to eleven for the
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: remainder of the game. They allow a tie game, send
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: it to ot and Knicks takeover from there. That point
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: seven to forty nine left in the game, down twenty
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: two is about the point where I'm sure the Knicks
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: we're thinking, do we just put the backups in and
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: get ready for Game two?
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But according to.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: ESPN Analytics, teams trailing by twenty two points in the
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter of a playoff game since just a fourth
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: quarter for get seven to forty nine left fourth quarter.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: There have been five hundred and ninety five games that
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: have happened since nineteen ninety seven where that has occurred.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Teams are zero in five ninety four going into that game.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Wait, five hundred and ninety five playoff games where a
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: team is trailed by twenty two in the fourth that
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: doesn't seem possible. Maybe games overall.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Like teams trailing by twenty two points in the fourth
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: quarter of a playoff game since nineteen ninety seven were
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: one and I'm sorry, one in five ninety four heading
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: into that game.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: One time. All right, So I don't know how closely
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: you guys monitored that game. I watched the entire fourth
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: quarter from my sauna. But if I had to ask you, guys,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: why did Cleveland melt down the way they did? What
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: was the reason? Let me test your basketball acumen live
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: on Denver Sports Talk. I'll tell you this.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It was on my TV. By the time I looked
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: back up, it was an eight point game. I have
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: no idea what happened.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Moser, I think I know what do you think it was?
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: If I'm not mistaken, I saw out of the corner
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: of my eye and the vomitatorium down to my right
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: by the Knicks bench from Mioni. Granger went, now, suck
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: you as.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Fourth quarters, I'll tell you exactly what it was. She
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: did a supreme. This was what you call a coaching stubbornness.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: This was a coaching there, and I'm gonna call out
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: the Cleveland coaches here. They were hunting James Harden. Switches.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: At the end of that game, Jalen Brunson would take
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: the ball up the court, he'd get a pick from
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: og An Andobi or whomever. They would switch on to
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: James Harden, and literally seven of eight times down the court,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: seven of eight they switched onto James Harden, and he
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: went to work and absolutely roasted him. Harden couldn't do anything.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: He's too slow. He's too slow. They left him in
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: the game because it's James Harden. He's in offensive force,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: and he did nothing. He did nothing. As soon as
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: you're up twenty two, in my humble opinion, you got
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: to make changes. You don't need offense anymore. You need defense.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Get seven minutes left, just make some stops. You need defense.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Get him out of the game. Get James Harden. I
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: don't care about pride. Swallow it. There's a reason the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: guy's never gone deep into the playoffs. Here's why he
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: gets hunted and and hunted and Bronson ate him for
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: lunch and dinner last night.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: So James Harden had another game. This is about a
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: quarter of his career in which he has playoff games
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: with more turnovers than field goals made. That happened again
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: last night. He had six turnovers in five minute buckets.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: But hang on, I know that this is Look, we're
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: all gonna be prisoners of recency bias, especially when something
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: crazy happens. This is as bad of a collapse as
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I can think of in recent memory. You know, the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Nuggets had a pretty bad one in Game seven. It's Minnesota.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: A couple years back, it wasn't. With less than eight
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: minutes left in the game. They allowed a forty four
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: to eleven run from the final seven to forty five
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: of regulation. Going into overtime, the Knicks shot fifteen of
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: twenty from the floor, because to lose that way, you
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: don't just have to go. You need the other team
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: to make every shot that they put up two fifteen
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: of twenty. The Cavs shot four of eighteen from that
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: point on. Brunson had seventeen points in that stretch on
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: eight of ten from the floor, Hardin and Mitchell combined
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: for three points on one of ten.
• 29:17

  Speaker 6: No? I have no affinity whatsoever for the city of

  Speaker 6: New York. But that being said before before the game yesterday,
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: I went and watched and listened to the entire news
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: conference of Jalen Brunson getting ready for the Eastern Conference Final,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: and I came away from that going, God, I think

  Speaker 6: I really like Jalen Brunson.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: He seems to be a likable guy.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: I came away from that going I think I think
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: I really like Jalen Brunson. I would like to have
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: me a friggin' Jalen Brunson.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Vic. That would be fun. Hey, Vic, that'd be fun.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Would you like it?
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: Jalen Brunson.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: You didn't want to hear what he did last night? Yeah?
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: What did he do? Okay? So they're down twenty two.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: They're down twenty two with seven eighty nine left, seven
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: thirty nine. Jalen Brunson floater past James Harden. After that,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: he assists on a Landry Sham at three, he assists
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: on a Carl's end Karl Anthony Towns two. Jalen Brunson

  Speaker 3: After that three footer off the window, over everybody. Jalen Brunson,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: another pull up twelve footer after a pick and roll
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: against James Harden. Jalen Brunson seven footer. That was that
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: one that was ridiculous. He got on one foot Jalen Brunson.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Then with three already left in the game and James
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Harden trying to guard him on the perimeter, the backup
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: three pointer are over Harden's grill to cut the lead
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: to five. I mean, that's all Jalen Brunson, all on
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: James Harden's head. What are you doing as a coaching staff?
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Get him out of there. I never really had.
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: A strong feeling one way or another Forgi.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Get him out of the agreed, get him out of

  Speaker 3: there and put it the defensive. I mean, what are

  Speaker 6: on the brunt stop.

  Speaker 3: Talk about the Cleveland staff.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: I understand. They blew it. Understood.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at Kenny Atkinson right now. This is what
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: happens though, you know with veteran players. Well, he deserves it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: He's our guy. He's our guy. You want to win
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: a championship or not? You know, hell, you're watching Okay.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: See the other night they they take players from the
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: bottom of the bench and put him in the game.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: If they that's the way it should be.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: You're role, know your strengths. You didn't need offense, you
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: need a defense.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets did that when they won a championship. They
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: would take Porter out at the end of a game
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: and just be like, sorry.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Bruce is playing. Yeah, and what did Porter say? Sounds good?

  Speaker 2: the penalty box from Morning Skate today and you're not

• 32:31
  Speaker 2: skates on the ICE's background for coaching Rogers, they get
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: you ready for Game one Western Conference Final. It's powered

  Speaker 2: by the dan Kaplis Law Firm, a serious firm for
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: serious cases. Jared Bednar in twenty minutes Stagram.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I want to take this time to issue our deepest
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: sympathies and condolences to a member of the media, someone
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: who's been covering the cu Buffs for many, many years.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Adam Munster Tiger passed away late last night. He was
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: hospitalized in a and I believe early May had some
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: lung issues. Not certain of the exact cause of death,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: but I know his health took a left turn, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: it's just an awful loss for such a young man.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I've had some professional encounters with him. I've seen him
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: at Buff's games. I did not know him personally. Terrific reporter,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: but anytime you lose somebody inside our practice. Again, heartfelt
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: sympathy to his wife, Liz, his entire family.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: It's just awful news. Yeah again, the same thing with me.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Vic didn't have a chance to interact with them personally,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: but read his stuff. Great reporter and awful news coming
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: out of a Buff's nation.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: So and surprising because it sort of came out of
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: left field. Yeah, I knew he was sick, but not
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: to this extent. He did his last podcast from the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: hospital and was being a badass.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: It just it just goes to show you you don't
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: know other people's problems. You just don't.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: So hopefully the family gets through this. But just a horrible,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: horrible piece of news coming from Boulder. Hearts go out
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: to their family and just awful news.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Now, Jared Bendnar is going to join us again in
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes give us preview of Game one of the
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Western Conference Final. There is something that Nathan McKinnon said
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: yesterday that I think is a little bit silly, and.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: It's about the.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: The longevity of one Brent Burns's career and how he
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: keeps it together. This is what McKinnon said.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: He sleeps a lot more than anybody's like a big bear.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Well not from like three to six pm and go
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: to sleep for another ten hours.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: I think that's a big reason why he played along.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: And also he's got such a great attitude. He's like
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: everyone says it, he's like a little kid with three kids.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: So he's a special guy. He's super positive and just
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: super great to be around. So you know, on the
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: day to day grind, you know he's coming to the
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: RENC with a smile on his face. And I think
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: that's the biggest season why he's played so long.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: One of the things that stuck out to me and
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: hearing that MOS is first of all, Brent Burns, I
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: think is a still somehow an underrated addition to the
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: team this year with his consistency being on the ice
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: every single night. I mean it's been his entire career,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: but somebody you trust as a veteran every single night
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: to make the right play. We've discussed how much he's
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: If he gets the puck on his stick, he's going
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: to fire that thing at the net.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: He's got three kids and he takes a three hour
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: nap and sleeps ten hours a day. Well as a
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: professional athlete.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no baby Boval's running around I mean, or
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: not even running around forty one. It's not like they're
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: all twenty well yeah, but.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: I think they're all at least married themselves. What yeah,
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: graduated college. Dump teasing, But that's listen, and it's not
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: the being a pro athlete and being in the pro
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: sports world.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: VIC back me up on this. It's not easy.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: You have to have a partner who understands sure what
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: it's about.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Like coaches, wives get the worst. Maybe yeah, I'm out.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I listen.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: I know the kids. Two of the kids are sick.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: I know that I'm going to be gone for.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: About twelve days. Okay, you got this? Yeah? Uh no,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the big Canadian road trip right, Well, it's not.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: I mean, typically a couple, you know, you'll they'll go
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: to work or whatever, want to stay home and you help,
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: and you're like, let's say, you gotta sick kid, will
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: you take turns at? And I it's all on if
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: you've got a dude who's traveling. Sure, in hockey, it's
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: all on the spouse. I mean, so there has to
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: be an understanding. So the sleeping three hours and then
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: another ten sounds great to me, by the way, And
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: not only that, this is partly why with the Brent
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: Burns and other guys, this is partly why. I just
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: he's here for a reason, and in the hockey world
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: it's a very big reason.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Well between him and then another guy, veteran defenseman who
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: has recently acquired, Brett Kulak.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: He was on Crrekman Lindael yesterday.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: He was great.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: This is a guy who made two straight finals appearances.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: He knows what this grind is like, he knows what
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: it takes to get to this point. Did you hear
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: him talk about the Avs when he first joined the team,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: like what surprised him the most?
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Here's what he said, It's just the.
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: Style of play gives the team a chance to win
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: every night, no matter if the big guys are snapping
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: it around and sniping goals or not. The depth of
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: the team, yeah, I think adapt and just the style
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: of play of the team does and how much pride
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: they taken in the defensive side of the game that
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: allows the team, no matter what's going on, to to
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: be in a game and have a chance to win
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: every night. I think been pretty eye opening for me.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: So correction that was on PhD not correct with the
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Lindell But regardless, Brett Kulak said this team can win
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: in any style that they want, and that's true. And
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: he is somebody that has been a massive addition of
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love the term that you use most
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: but you call some guys and I think he's one
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: of them. A fire and forget missile it's not like
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: he's going to do anything super special, although he does
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: get a game winning goal to close out a series,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: but he's just steady.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Edi. You know exactly what you're getting every time he
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: steps foot on the ice.
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: You do. And these are guys VIC whore, especially driven,
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: especially hungry. And I can see if you win, and
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: I've seen it before, if you win, VIC, that edge
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: can sort of go away. So right, right, I mean
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: my right, wrong, Well.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Of course, I mean, okay, you get I'm not gonna
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: say you get lazy, but perhaps confidence starts to creep in.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: Okay, No matter what, I can tell you that the
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: guys on the ABS right now who have won, they
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: want it as bad as is if they never want
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: it before. And now you've got guys who haven't ever
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: wanted and they want it bad. There's there's a as
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: I've been talking all season long. It doesn't guarantee a
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: damn thing, but there's a drive, there's a want to,
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: there's a you.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Know, there's a purpose.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, I mean, but all of this these are the esoteric.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: These are the don't get mad at me, either of you.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna so mad, don't you dare. I'll get so mad.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Don't you do it the next thing you say it
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: for me? Universal threat. Thank you. I appreciate that.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: This is what I'm talking about. Stuff you cannot put
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: a number on. You can't. It's intangible, but it's there
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: and it's important.

• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Wearing that thing with his beret and his going on
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: his dyed mustache is almost like barber shop shaven beard
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: thing that he's got going on.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's happening there. What is that intersection
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: with Hollywood? Because Tom Brady has made that intersection, right,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: He's made that that intersection. We know what it is
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: where your facial appearance and whatever you do to yourself.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: It's so outrageous that you don't even care. Do you
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: know what he said? This is his excuse for it,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: not excuses reasoning for it.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: He said that he wants to be able to recognize
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: from pictures what era of his life he's in, and
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: so he makes distinct like he buzzed his head for
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: a few years.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: This is so weird. So now he's going beret in
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: totally shaped beard. This is trevile. Just what you said, John,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: I can look and tell you what ef you were
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: in Row. I mean I could look at Mosure and
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: say end of life soon. Let me just say I
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: didn't need the.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Barbershop shaven beard with a beret to know this wasn't
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: pulp fiction Travolta.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: Okay, this was Saturday Saturday Fever. I don't need Pierre
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: Montfrere Okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you where you're at.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, tra Volta when he was in Greece? Is that
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: what that was?
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: Before we get to the coacher at the top, I
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: set the I set the bar incredibly high or what
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: for meteorology? Okay, and it's Kathy Saban, our good friend
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: from nine News. She's outstanding, right veteran you So if
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: Kathy Saban is like, let's let's call her the great
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: White Shark of meteorology, what you just did is a
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: guppy flippering around in the bottom is flipping around at
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: the bottom of a fish tank in Arvada. Okay, you
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: know I didn't sing on algae and and just just
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: banging its head against the glass heavy. That's that's the
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: difference between what you just did and where she's at.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Having spent twenty four years in local news, I did
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: have a stint.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Doing the weather, trust me, was ed greensick one day.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I did the weather on several occasions in every market
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I work in, so I know what I'm doing. I
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: can read my phone just like you can. And that's
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: how I did it back in the eighties. What does
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: he think?

• 43:26
  Speaker 6: twenty six point three five And I would recommend what
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: does he get off doing that?
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you guys one question before we get
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: to break and talk to the coach. And I don't
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: mean this disrespectfully, maybe a little disrespectfully. What what was
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: it like in the old days when you couldn't just
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: look at the weather on your phone and somebody had
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: to wait for somebody to tell.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: You what the weather was going to do? Life was
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: so much more simple, dude, It was less. I mean
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: it really was.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: You were you schedule the tea time and you're like,
• 43:55
