Latest / Chuck in the Morning / Chuck & Buck 10-29 Hour 4: Let's go Trade or Treating! AL Kinisky and one last thing!
Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: And we are just six days away from the NFL
- 0:08Speaker 1: trading deadline, so scary. And so today, uh, since we
- 0:16Speaker 1: are within these windows, we're gonna go trader treating today.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Trader treating A.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Thank you for your enthusiasm. Dracula appreciate that one. So yeah,
- 0:32Speaker 1: so I'm gonna We're gonna go trader treating here today.
- 0:36Speaker 1: We're gonna go around the neighborhood knocking on various doors,
- 0:38Speaker 1: and maybe some we won't knock on. Maybe it won't
- 0:40Speaker 1: even be worth our time.
- 0:41Speaker 3: We know the.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Reputation of our neighbors. I mean, we also always feared
- 0:45Speaker 1: about the Leonards giving us razor blades.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you gotta always check here, Yeah, I gotta.
- 0:53Speaker 1: For sure. Actually they were the popcorn ball givers.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Oh you could put a razor blade really easily into
- 0:58Speaker 4: a popcorn ball though corn way easier than an.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Oh they were delicious, amazing. We always saved it for
- 1:05Speaker 1: the last thing. We always went to the Leonard's last.
- 1:08Speaker 1: They had a one eyed dog and the best popcorn
- 1:10Speaker 1: balls you've ever had in your life.
- 1:12Speaker 5: Razor blades and popcorn balls.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I would have even eaten one with a razor bleaed
- 1:16Speaker 1: I've just eaten around them.
- 1:17Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what you do, all right.
- 1:19Speaker 1: So, uh, here we go. These are some possibilities that
- 1:23Speaker 1: John Schneider confronts here six days till the NFL trading deadline.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We have no idea what he's going to do, but
- 1:29Speaker 1: my guess is he's going to be an active participant
- 1:31Speaker 1: in the holiday. That is my guess. There is the
- 1:35Speaker 1: do nothing package, or as I like to call it,
- 1:37Speaker 1: the apple and floss package. Well, it's good for you
- 1:43Speaker 1: to get an apple, I get it, doctor Schneider. You
- 1:46Speaker 1: know a prudent choice. Apples are and they're by themselves delicious.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Flossing is an essential and long term key to dental health,
- 1:55Speaker 1: but it's not fun and it certainly doesn't celebrate the
- 1:58Speaker 1: trade deadline season. So I'm asking you, you're gonna go
- 2:03Speaker 1: to doctor Schneider's house for trade and treat if all
- 2:06Speaker 1: he's gonna do is just stan pat and basically give
- 2:08Speaker 1: you apple and flossy.
- 2:12Speaker 2: No, No, that's not where I would want to go.
- 2:14Speaker 6: I would skip that house if they saw King sized
- 2:17Speaker 6: Rees's across the street, for sure.
- 2:20Speaker 1: But from a trade perspective, like if he did nothing.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still going to skip that house. So no,
- 2:24Speaker 2: that's not what I'm interested.
- 2:25Speaker 1: In, not going to go to doctor Schneider's house. So yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 1: I don't think that I'm I'm not. I don't think
- 2:35Speaker 1: this team has some big, giant, glaring need that they
- 2:39Speaker 1: have to address here at the trading deadline. And I
- 2:41Speaker 1: don't think that they have to move Rik Wooln. I
- 2:44Speaker 1: don't think any of the either of those things are necessary.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Maybe you could use an offensive lineman if you're John Schneider,
- 2:53Speaker 1: but they're very difficult to get. I mean, teams are
- 2:57Speaker 1: already having difficulty via injuries, having enough offensive lineman, so
- 3:02Speaker 1: it's a difficult thing to find a quality offensive lineman.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Then you have to introduce them into your scheme, so
- 3:10Speaker 1: that one's tricky. And I don't know if you have
- 3:13Speaker 1: to have a pass rusher. I don't know if you
- 3:16Speaker 1: have to have defensive secondary help. And yet if you
- 3:21Speaker 1: didn't do anything, it just wouldn't feel like trade deadline season.
- 3:24Speaker 1: It wouldn't feel like John Schneider was still our general manager.
- 3:28Speaker 1: So no, I don't I'm not interested in they do
- 3:31Speaker 1: nothing category here. I want to see what John Schneider
- 3:35Speaker 1: can pull out to improve this football team.
- 3:37Speaker 6: Well, I think the team's good, and yet you're not.
- 3:40Speaker 6: It's not like you're three games ahead of other people
- 3:42Speaker 6: in your division.
- 3:43Speaker 2: I mean you're.
- 3:44Speaker 6: Ahead because of a bye week and San Francisco losing.
- 3:48Speaker 6: You have the Rams. I think maybe you can say
- 3:50Speaker 6: you're definitely going you're a better club than the Cardinals,
- 3:53Speaker 6: but you're a three team race in these final what
- 3:57Speaker 6: nine games of the season, And so to me, I
- 4:00Speaker 6: would want to be improving. It's not like there's not
- 4:03Speaker 6: a couple places. Right guard in particular is one that
- 4:05Speaker 6: I probably would want to upgrade if I could.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Oh, I think they would want to upgrade it. I
- 4:09Speaker 1: just don't know if offensive linemen are going to be
- 4:12Speaker 1: thrown around all that easily at the trading deadline. If
- 4:16Speaker 1: one is there that does represent an upgrade, then yeah,
- 4:20Speaker 1: I think I would be interested, but I'm not sure
- 4:23Speaker 1: if the market is going to provide that all right.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Second option, I like to call this a three Musketeers
- 4:30Speaker 1: for a candy to be named later house, Okay, and
- 4:35Speaker 1: that is move Reek Woolen for a fifth round pick.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Even though your first place, and even though your buyers
- 4:42Speaker 1: you have a commodity that does not seem to be
- 4:44Speaker 1: working for you organizationally, you have your secondary healthy again,
- 4:50Speaker 1: and riek Woland's probably going to be on the outside
- 4:53Speaker 1: looking in in terms of playing time. Sure, you might
- 4:57Speaker 1: risk a little depth if you move away from riek Wolin.
- 5:02Speaker 1: But there might be another team out there that really
- 5:05Speaker 1: likes three Musketeers, like really likes three Musketeers. There are people,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and it might not be your taste. You might not
- 5:12Speaker 1: want to three Musketeers. Maybe you're looking to move all
- 5:14Speaker 1: your three Musketeers bars, but there might be somebody out
- 5:17Speaker 1: there that that's their favorite. We'll put it will freeze
- 5:19Speaker 1: them really good later frozen. And so this is what
- 5:24Speaker 1: you'd be taking advantage of. Potentially giving away a treat
- 5:28Speaker 1: you don't personally like right now, but the kid you're
- 5:34Speaker 1: going to trade it to he really likes that player,
- 5:40Speaker 1: and so who knows what you end up with in
- 5:42Speaker 1: this trade. Maybe you eventually get to draft a tutsi role,
- 5:46Speaker 1: you know, next year, maybe you can turn that into
- 5:48Speaker 1: two tutsi roles in the draft process. But right now,
- 5:52Speaker 1: you're moving off from something that you don't really like
- 5:54Speaker 1: right now to get something that maybe you'll like in
- 5:57Speaker 1: the future from someone who would like what you don't.
- 6:01Speaker 6: Like, yeah, the idea of moving on from something that
- 6:06Speaker 6: maybe you feel like you have a surplus of right now,
- 6:08Speaker 6: without a crystal ball of knowing whether or not you
- 6:10Speaker 6: would need that later, you're you know, maybe you just yeah,
- 6:14Speaker 6: you've had too many three musketeers. You're just over it.
- 6:16Speaker 6: And somebody else is like, wait, I haven't had one
- 6:19Speaker 6: in years. I'll take that, bad boy. I think that
- 6:22Speaker 6: if there's a way where you could do that, where
- 6:24Speaker 6: you could move him, if it's just for a draft pick,
- 6:26Speaker 6: then I think you're you're looking at the we're going
- 6:29Speaker 6: to gain something in the future, and we're losing some
- 6:33Speaker 6: insurance in the backside, some depth in the backside. That
- 6:36Speaker 6: to me feels a little bit risky. If you could
- 6:40Speaker 6: get something, even if it's something that maybe you don't need,
- 6:43Speaker 6: maybe it's just a maybe it's another pass rusher, a
- 6:47Speaker 6: defensive lineman that you enter into that rotation that is
- 6:49Speaker 6: looking good right now. But it's something you could enter
- 6:52Speaker 6: into that equation and just make it even better and deeper,
- 6:55Speaker 6: then that makes a little bit more sense to me.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Well, what if you move him for a pick so
- 7:02Speaker 1: that you didn't lose a pick, and then you took
- 7:04Speaker 1: a pick, and then you added something else as well.
- 7:07Speaker 1: So yes, you're moving a player for a pick, but
- 7:11Speaker 1: you're getting a player that maybe is more beneficial to
- 7:13Speaker 1: what you're using right now, and you don't have to
- 7:17Speaker 1: lose that pick, which they love so much. So yes,
- 7:20Speaker 1: there might be a creative way to do this, but
- 7:24Speaker 1: I really, I mean, I think Riek Willan's going to
- 7:26Speaker 1: have a market. I think a lot of teams need
- 7:30Speaker 1: corner help right now, and maybe as talented as he is,
- 7:33Speaker 1: he just needs a new environment. And if his path
- 7:38Speaker 1: to playing time is stalled here and you're not going
- 7:40Speaker 1: to be able to keep him in the offseason, even
- 7:43Speaker 1: if that's all you did, even if you did become
- 7:45Speaker 1: kind of a seller at the trading deadline, it's certainly
- 7:48Speaker 1: something that I'm kicking the tires on. I'm certainly knocking
- 7:51Speaker 1: on that door to see what kind of treat they
- 7:53Speaker 1: might have in exchange for my treat. Yeah.
- 7:56Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean, especially as we talked about that, he
- 7:58Speaker 4: was rumored to be a possible leaving earlier, So you
- 8:01Speaker 4: got to look at.
- 8:02Speaker 1: It all, right, what about the old Sour Patch kids
- 8:06Speaker 1: for a Kitcat Bar trade? What if John Schneider traded
- 8:11Speaker 1: a Reek Woolen type for another player. You don't see
- 8:15Speaker 1: this too much at the trading deadline. What if he
- 8:17Speaker 1: just like skipped the whole draft pick. And let's not
- 8:20Speaker 1: get cute about it. The Green Bay Packers could use
- 8:23Speaker 1: cornerback help. I just watched them play Sunday night, and man,
- 8:27Speaker 1: they're not very good. I mean, they're a great team
- 8:29Speaker 1: that not very good at the cornerback position. So what
- 8:32Speaker 1: if they could use that, and yet they have a
- 8:34Speaker 1: surplus of pass rushers. I brought this guy up a
- 8:38Speaker 1: little bit earlier this week. Kingsley Enigbare was supposed to
- 8:43Speaker 1: be a starter for the Green Bay Packers this season,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and he was supposed to be entering and he was
- 8:50Speaker 1: entering the final year of his first contract, just like Wooln.
- 8:53Speaker 1: So he becomes a free agent at the end of
- 8:55Speaker 1: the year. You've already pissed him off by acquiring Micah Parsons.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Taken away is playing time. I mean, he's performing out there.
- 9:03Speaker 1: He's playing for a contract right now. But if you
- 9:06Speaker 1: could take your surplus and then they've got a surplus
- 9:09Speaker 1: of another candy and then you just swap player for player.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You don't see these kind of trades a lot in
- 9:14Speaker 1: the National Football League. You certainly don't see him at
- 9:17Speaker 1: the NFL trading deadline, But we'll give you our surplus
- 9:20Speaker 1: piece to make up for your deficiency. You give us
- 9:24Speaker 1: your surplus piece, and maybe that helps us make up
- 9:27Speaker 1: for our deficiency. Arek Wolan for Kingsley and igbare trade?
- 9:32Speaker 1: Straight up? You're knocking at that house?
- 9:34Speaker 4: Uh?
- 9:34Speaker 2: Yes, I am. That's see.
- 9:36Speaker 6: That to me feels better if you're gonna get rid
- 9:38Speaker 6: of somebody that still has some upside.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Let's be real.
- 9:41Speaker 6: I mean, maybe he's worn out as welcome here and
- 9:44Speaker 6: maybe he never does turn into the guy that he
- 9:47Speaker 6: looked like he was going to become his after his
- 9:50Speaker 6: rookie season. Maybe that's not it, But I think that
- 9:53Speaker 6: the idea of kicking the tires on somebody that might
- 9:55Speaker 6: be interested in his potential while you're kind of he's
- 9:59Speaker 6: worn out as welcome or you know, it's tarnished to
- 10:01Speaker 6: some degree here. I don't want to just do it
- 10:04Speaker 6: for a pick. I understand how valuable picks are, but
- 10:06Speaker 6: I don't want to do it just for a pick,
- 10:08Speaker 6: because to me, you might need him and if you're
- 10:10Speaker 6: not going to have him, but you have a pick,
- 10:11Speaker 6: sitting in your back pocket. I'd rather have somebody somewhere
- 10:15Speaker 6: that adds depth, brings something to the table. This season,
- 10:18Speaker 6: you find yourself in first place, I'm not trying to go.
- 10:21Speaker 6: I'm not trying to stay in the same place. I'm
- 10:22Speaker 6: trying to improve myself because I wouldn't be surprised. I mean,
- 10:24Speaker 6: we have already seen the Rams are making moves, They're
- 10:27Speaker 6: trying to improve themselves. You kind of want to keep
- 10:29Speaker 6: up with the Joneses in that sense, I think.
- 10:31Speaker 1: And it's the Packers, which John Schneider as a relationship with.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I think that could very well be a hey, why
- 10:38Speaker 1: are we making this complicated? You know, I got a corner,
- 10:41Speaker 1: you need a corner. I could use a pass rusher.
- 10:42Speaker 1: You got an extra pass rusher. Let's just swap these
- 10:46Speaker 1: guys and good luck. If you can get Riek back
- 10:49Speaker 1: to playing the way he did for us as a rookie,
- 10:51Speaker 1: then good for you. And maybe we can get a
- 10:55Speaker 1: lot out of your guy in a different uniform, because
- 10:57Speaker 1: you just for in terms of snap available, you're just
- 11:01Speaker 1: not getting as much use out of them as what
- 11:03Speaker 1: we potentially could. So I like that. I like that
- 11:06Speaker 1: trick or treat I'm knocking at two of the door
- 11:08Speaker 1: three houses I brought.
- 11:09Speaker 5: Up, So yeah, me too.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I'm interested. I'm interested in what you got behind that door. People,
- 11:14Speaker 1: all right, last one and this is uh boy, this
- 11:17Speaker 1: is a biggie. I saved it for less for a reason.
- 11:20Speaker 1: How about one of those old trick or treat and
- 11:24Speaker 1: you just get to the front door. I don't think
- 11:26Speaker 1: any kids ever tried this and just says I want
- 11:29Speaker 1: everything in the bowl. Oh, I want everything in your
- 11:33Speaker 1: bo I've tried that, And then just give me that,
- 11:37Speaker 1: and then I promise you I won't go to any
- 11:39Speaker 1: other houses. I'll just retire home to watch scary movies
- 11:42Speaker 1: with mom. Uh And that's the kind of move that
- 11:46Speaker 1: you could make potentially, just say just knock on the
- 11:49Speaker 1: door and just like hey, there's gonna call it quits.
- 11:51Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about me toilet paper in
- 11:53Speaker 1: your house tonight, don't have to worry about me influence
- 11:56Speaker 1: your kids into stealing signs, graffitiing. You give me all
- 12:01Speaker 1: the candy you got, and I'll just go straight home
- 12:04Speaker 1: to mom.
- 12:05Speaker 2: It depends what. It's not a bull full of smarties? Right?
- 12:08Speaker 1: Uh? Well?
- 12:09Speaker 5: Oh yeah? Is it the Varsity ball.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Well, I don't think so. So what I'm talking about
- 12:13Speaker 1: is you go up to the Cleveland Browns house, you
- 12:16Speaker 1: knock on the door, and you say, I'll give you
- 12:20Speaker 1: two first rounders, two third rounders, and boy a mafe
- 12:23Speaker 1: for Miles Garrett. Wow, and then I'll just go home.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Wow.
- 12:27Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 12:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll go ahead and do that.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You do that one?
- 12:31Speaker 2: I mean that's a lot. Two first rounds.
- 12:34Speaker 6: That's a lot because that almost feels like you're getting
- 12:36Speaker 6: the bowl of candy. And then they say come back
- 12:38Speaker 6: tomorrow and wash my cars and clean out the garage.
- 12:42Speaker 2: What about it? I don't know if I want to
- 12:43Speaker 2: do that.
- 12:46Speaker 1: The best best defensive player in the league. I mean,
- 12:48Speaker 1: that's going to come at a price. He's by the way,
- 12:50Speaker 1: he's locked up. You don't have to worry about him
- 12:52Speaker 1: coming to free agent anytime soon. Uh. You can figure
- 12:54Speaker 1: out a way to work the cap. They always do.
- 12:57Speaker 1: But you want the best, You want some sort of
- 12:59Speaker 1: true difference maker. Yeah.
- 13:02Speaker 4: Plus, if you get rid of your first round picks,
- 13:04Speaker 4: then that eliminates us from having to worry if the
- 13:07Speaker 4: Seahawks are actually going to draft in the first round
- 13:09Speaker 4: or trade their pick on draft days, so you already
- 13:11Speaker 4: know you're not drafting the thig of all the time
- 13:13Speaker 4: it saves you.
- 13:14Speaker 5: See exactly no exasperation. That's worth a lot.
- 13:19Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna move Miles Garrett. I don't.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I think that he probably should have forced the issue
- 13:26Speaker 1: in the offseason. I think he would be with a
- 13:28Speaker 1: good team right now with the same salary right now,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and he seemed to have a leverage in the off season,
- 13:36Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, he was like, no, I'll re
- 13:38Speaker 1: sign with the Browns and I will expect things to change.
- 13:42Speaker 5: Even though they didn't meet with him, they're not going.
- 13:44Speaker 1: To change there. So Miles Garrett, right now, in his prime,
- 13:48Speaker 1: maybe he's itching to leave. I don't know if it
- 13:50Speaker 1: would have cost that much, but I think it's going
- 13:53Speaker 1: to be pretty close if you wanted to try to
- 13:55Speaker 1: get a Miles Garrett. John Schneider has never been shy
- 14:00Speaker 1: about going for it. He's made hugely aggressive trades in season.
- 14:05Speaker 1: This would take the cake right here. This is the
- 14:08Speaker 1: old damn Candy Bowl right here. This is not just
- 14:11Speaker 1: the candy Bowl. You can come in and make it
- 14:13Speaker 1: out with my daughter. This is what you're This is
- 14:16Speaker 1: what you're getting in this kind of deal. So Miles Garrett,
- 14:19Speaker 1: would you go knock on that door? No one else
- 14:22Speaker 1: step the prices?
- 14:24Speaker 6: Yeah, I would, But then again that's just because the
- 14:28Speaker 6: NFL game to me is so much more like when
- 14:31Speaker 6: you're in it. This year, you go, you do things. Now,
- 14:35Speaker 6: this is one that's setting you up. It's setting you
- 14:38Speaker 6: up to have a one of the best, if not
- 14:40Speaker 6: the best pass rusher in the league for the next
- 14:43Speaker 6: few years. I think it's four or five, four years,
- 14:45Speaker 6: I think is what the extension that he signed at
- 14:47Speaker 6: forty million dollars a year. But it's one of those Yeah,
- 14:50Speaker 6: you got a capbologist, they can figure out how to
- 14:52Speaker 6: move that money around. But it's you're still saying this year,
- 14:56Speaker 6: we're sitting in at first place. Right now, we have
- 14:59Speaker 6: a strength up from was stopping the run and actually
- 15:02Speaker 6: I think they're second in the league in sacks. Let's
- 15:04Speaker 6: make it the most feared front, you know, defensive line
- 15:08Speaker 6: that we could possibly have. I think you're you're kind
- 15:10Speaker 6: of putting your stamp on it that this is our
- 15:12Speaker 6: division for the taking at this point in time.
- 15:14Speaker 2: So I'm in for that because.
- 15:15Speaker 6: You are trading away a little bit of the future,
- 15:18Speaker 6: possible future, because you don't know for sure what you're
- 15:20Speaker 6: going to get with those picks for now and the
- 15:23Speaker 6: next couple of years to come.
- 15:25Speaker 4: I'd do it, but I would start with one first
- 15:29Speaker 4: round pick, two thirds in boy A Mavee, and then
- 15:32Speaker 4: see if they took it.
- 15:33Speaker 5: Yeah, and then I'd be.
- 15:34Speaker 4: Like, Oh, they don't even know I've got another first
- 15:36Speaker 4: round pick in my back pocket.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Well, I think it would take at least two first rounders,
- 15:40Speaker 1: maybe one third.
- 15:41Speaker 5: Round first one third.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to take at least I mean, top
- 15:46Speaker 1: defendi players. That's fair and think And also this is
- 15:49Speaker 1: also part of it. If I'm the Seahawks, if I'm
- 15:51Speaker 1: John Schneider, I don't think I'm going to have high
- 15:53Speaker 1: first round picks the next couple of years. Yeah, I
- 15:56Speaker 1: believe in what I've got going on here, And if
- 15:58Speaker 1: I had Miles Garrett, I'm even or convinced of what
- 16:01Speaker 1: I've got going on. So two late first round picks,
- 16:05Speaker 1: a third round pick, and a player that seems to
- 16:07Speaker 1: have maybe worn out as welcome a little bit as
- 16:10Speaker 1: they're waiting on him to reach his potential. Oh yeah,
- 16:13Speaker 1: I'm doing that. I'm doing that. This is This is
- 16:16Speaker 1: not Jamal Adams, that's for damn. This is Miles freaking Garrett. Yeah,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and he's playing as well now as he's ever played
- 16:25Speaker 1: in his entire career. And what might he do with
- 16:28Speaker 1: a with a franchise that actually knows what they're doing
- 16:31Speaker 1: with the possibilities.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Yeah, he had like five sacks, that's all.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Yeah, no big deal.
- 16:36Speaker 5: He's only really really good all right.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Coming up next, Al Kiniski will join US Sports Radio
- 16:42Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ A R f M. It
- 17:01Speaker 1: was about the most exciting come from behind point I've
- 17:04Speaker 1: seen the Crack and Register in their young history last night,
- 17:08Speaker 1: taking on the Montreal Canadians, losing three to nothing in
- 17:12Speaker 1: the third period, whack whack, whack, Brandon Montor just went
- 17:15Speaker 1: to work on the halbs, ended up tying the thing up,
- 17:18Speaker 1: sending it into overtime, where Montreal eventually won four to three.
- 17:22Speaker 1: But the Crack and Do get a point out of it,
- 17:25Speaker 1: and joining us now to discuss it is color analyst
- 17:28Speaker 1: for your Seattle cracking. Right here on the flagship kJ R.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Al Kanisky is with us. Good morning out, ay, Al.
- 17:38Speaker 6: Al's really really quiet today, really Yeah, it's like so
- 17:42Speaker 6: Quie can hardy, but I can't even hear him.
- 17:44Speaker 1: I hope everything's all right with Al there he is, Al,
- 17:47Speaker 1: how are you boys? Good morning, Great to chat with you.
- 17:52Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you tell me. I mean,
- 17:56Speaker 1: I don't know if hockey players ever just get on
- 17:59Speaker 1: the bus and yes, great point, fellas. I'm sure, Hey,
- 18:03Speaker 1: that was an awesome win and they feel good about it.
- 18:05Speaker 1: I don't know if they go to the point of
- 18:08Speaker 1: recognizing how great a point they got even though they
- 18:12Speaker 1: lost the game. You tell me, is that something that
- 18:15Speaker 1: you're celebrating last night in the locker room that you
- 18:18Speaker 1: somehow pulled out a point at least in that game
- 18:21Speaker 1: against the Canadians.
- 18:23Speaker 3: It's like parking at Costa on Saturday. Sometimes you drive
- 18:26Speaker 3: up and down the aisles and you never find a
- 18:28Speaker 3: parking spot, but eventually you get one. And sometimes you're
- 18:32Speaker 3: just patient. You're helping people with their groceries and look,
- 18:35Speaker 3: there's a parking spot right at the front. I think
- 18:37Speaker 3: that was the game last night. The guys were patient.
- 18:41Speaker 3: They were a little sloppy in the first couple of periods,
- 18:43Speaker 3: but they were patient and they turned it on the
- 18:46Speaker 3: third period. And you know, if I had written the script,
- 18:50Speaker 3: Brandon Montre would have gotten the hat trick for the
- 18:52Speaker 3: winner in overtime. Unfortunately, he settles for three points to
- 18:55Speaker 3: get the guys back in the game with a couple
- 18:57Speaker 3: of goals and a helper and gives them a ants
- 19:00Speaker 3: it a win and overtime.
- 19:01Speaker 2: But it was a big point.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Unfortunately, it probably should have never gotten to that point
- 19:06Speaker 3: in the game. But was a little sloppy over the
- 19:08Speaker 3: first half.
- 19:09Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, the I mean the fact that they've fought
- 19:12Speaker 6: and got came back from down three to zero. I mean,
- 19:16Speaker 6: that's obviously is commendable, and yet the first couple of periods,
- 19:20Speaker 6: I'm with you, it felt a little bit sloppy. I mean,
- 19:22Speaker 6: just looking at it. They only had two power plays
- 19:25Speaker 6: and scored on each one. You had four and only
- 19:28Speaker 6: converted on one of those. What was your biggest contention
- 19:33Speaker 6: of the sloppiness that you saw in the first couple
- 19:35Speaker 6: of periods.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Well, I think in the first couple of periods, first
- 19:38Speaker 3: of all, you're playing a team that is the youngest
- 19:40Speaker 3: in the NHL, and with youth typically comes speed. They're
- 19:43Speaker 3: a fast team and they were using that speed not
- 19:46Speaker 3: only on the attack, but also on the pursuit, meaning
- 19:49Speaker 3: they weren't giving Seattle very much time to make decisions
- 19:52Speaker 3: when they had the puck. And I think it took
- 19:54Speaker 3: the crack and a bit to adjust to that where
- 19:56Speaker 3: they had to start moving the puck quicker, They had
- 19:58Speaker 3: to start looking for longer passes, they had to start
- 20:01Speaker 3: finding some sustained offense of his own pressure and how
- 20:05Speaker 3: they got away from that youth and that speed, And
- 20:07Speaker 3: unfortunately it just took a while to figure out. Montreal
- 20:10Speaker 3: did a good job of pressuring Seattle in their own
- 20:13Speaker 3: D zone, taking away a breakout exits.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Well, I've already had it up to hear with Cole
- 20:19Speaker 1: Clawfield and we're only like ten games into the season
- 20:22Speaker 1: and like ten minutes into his career. So I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 1: this guy has not just done this to the Kraken.
- 20:28Speaker 1: I mean how special the player are we looking at it?
- 20:30Speaker 1: I mean he's so tiny and yet man is he
- 20:33Speaker 1: fast and skilled and relentless.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we talked a little bit about that
- 20:37Speaker 3: in the post game. You know, as far as Joey
- 20:40Speaker 3: Decord goes, who you know has played well over the
- 20:42Speaker 3: last two well since the beginning of the season, and
- 20:45Speaker 3: I think that between the third goal that Montreal scored,
- 20:49Speaker 3: and maybe the overtime goal, which one would he probably
- 20:52Speaker 3: want to have back. Well, he'd say both obviously. But
- 20:55Speaker 3: the third goal was a one timer that kind of
- 20:58Speaker 3: snuck through his five hole. I probably say I could
- 21:01Speaker 3: have gotten more square to that shot and maybe had
- 21:03Speaker 3: that saved. In the case of the overtime goal by
- 21:06Speaker 3: Cole Kawfield, like that is a goal scorers goal. He
- 21:09Speaker 3: comes down that left side, he fakes like he's cutting
- 21:12Speaker 3: to the front, he fakes like he's going around the
- 21:14Speaker 3: back of the net for a wrap round, and then
- 21:15Speaker 3: he stuffs it between the post and Joey Decord's pad
- 21:18Speaker 3: like that, that's an elite goal scorers goal. So if
- 21:21Speaker 3: I'm a goaltender, if I got to get beat I
- 21:23Speaker 3: guess that's the way you've got to beat me. It
- 21:25Speaker 3: never feels good though either way.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you, And yeah, I mean I know
- 21:29Speaker 6: that in today's game, you know you're not going to
- 21:32Speaker 6: just run one keeper out there every single time. The
- 21:34Speaker 6: Cord has started just about every single game, and yet
- 21:38Speaker 6: the other two Grooby and the one game that Murray
- 21:41Speaker 6: played in they lost those. I mean, is there a
- 21:44Speaker 6: giant difference or is this too early of a sample
- 21:47Speaker 6: size to be deciding whether or not we have a
- 21:49Speaker 6: legit one and maybe a number two, or is it
- 21:52Speaker 6: just too early to decide that.
- 21:54Speaker 3: Yeah, Bucky, I would say that that Joey Decord is
- 21:57Speaker 3: the number one right now. He's going to play the
- 21:59Speaker 3: majority of the games this season, you know, barn any
- 22:01Speaker 3: other health issues or something like that. I think the
- 22:04Speaker 3: big question mark is who is the number two. Both
- 22:07Speaker 3: Grubau and Murray have both played games so far. I
- 22:10Speaker 3: don't think they would say they were their best games,
- 22:13Speaker 3: but I think that you're going to see them get
- 22:15Speaker 3: another opportunity here where we're going to be into the
- 22:18Speaker 3: month of November, Saturday Night versus the Rangers and sometimes
- 22:23Speaker 3: in the probably in the first half of November, you're
- 22:24Speaker 3: gonna see them both get a game again. And I
- 22:27Speaker 3: think how they play in those games might answer that question.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Who the backup is to Joey Decord?
- 22:32Speaker 1: Al Kaniski is with us. He'll be with us every
- 22:35Speaker 1: Wednesday this year usually works out that way. Color analysts
- 22:39Speaker 1: for your Seattle Crack and right here on the flagship
- 22:41Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Well, let's use
- 22:46Speaker 1: some time on Brandon Montour because that was one of
- 22:49Speaker 1: the most complete games that he's played this year, maybe
- 22:52Speaker 1: he's played since he put on a crack in uniform,
- 22:55Speaker 1: even though he had some great games a year ago.
- 22:58Speaker 1: But for him to come up off the sadness in
- 23:01Speaker 1: his personal life, you can understand why he might have
- 23:04Speaker 1: been a little bit of a hockey rut. But he
- 23:08Speaker 1: came out of it last night and he was sensational.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, I mean, just over a week ago he
- 23:14Speaker 3: lost his brother to als, and you know, it's got
- 23:18Speaker 3: to be devastating for him and his family. But I
- 23:20Speaker 3: think that you know, he's done a good job of
- 23:22Speaker 3: trying to compartmentalize his time with his family and getting
- 23:26Speaker 3: back to his team. And I think getting back to
- 23:28Speaker 3: his team has helped him, you know, probably feel a
- 23:30Speaker 3: little bit stronger, and you know, everybody in that locker
- 23:33Speaker 3: room supports him and has given him space. Like he
- 23:37Speaker 3: could have had a crappy game last night, and I
- 23:39Speaker 3: think everybody has said, yeah, I mean I'm not surprised,
- 23:41Speaker 3: but he goes out and puts two goals in the neck,
- 23:44Speaker 3: gets a helper's plus two four shots on goal, like
- 23:47Speaker 3: he you know, second Star of the game, and for
- 23:49Speaker 3: a guy that's been dealing with that, that is so impressive.
- 23:52Speaker 3: It's a leader in the locker room, and I think
- 23:53Speaker 3: the guys really respect the way he came and played
- 23:57Speaker 3: last night.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Don't play again until Saturday, kind of an extra day off.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Could the team use that?
- 24:02Speaker 3: Right?
- 24:02Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 24:03Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you got Jared McCann still out,
- 24:06Speaker 3: you got coppoc although I have a suspicion he might
- 24:10Speaker 3: be back Saturday night. I mean, you know, we're Wednesday, Thursday,
- 24:14Speaker 3: Friday without a game, and then Saturday, his former team
- 24:18Speaker 3: comes to town. I've got to believe he's had that
- 24:21Speaker 3: circle on the calendar for a while and he's gonna
- 24:23Speaker 3: want to play in that. It's the return of Will Morgan,
- 24:26Speaker 3: who has traded to the Rangers last year. So a
- 24:28Speaker 3: couple of good storylines there for Saturday. But yeah, I mean,
- 24:31Speaker 3: if listen, guys, if the playoffs started today, Seattle six
- 24:35Speaker 3: in the Western Conference, the second and behind second behind
- 24:38Speaker 3: Vegas in the Pacific Division, it's crazy to think that
- 24:42Speaker 3: who would make the playoffs today and who wouldn't. I mean,
- 24:45Speaker 3: Tampa Bay would be out of the playoffs right now
- 24:47Speaker 3: if they start today. So it's always fun to look
- 24:50Speaker 3: at that. We're only ten games into the season though,
- 24:52Speaker 3: lots of work to be done, lots of changes will
- 24:55Speaker 3: happen between now and then. But yeah, Saturday, they're gonna
- 24:59Speaker 3: they're going to where their alternates, their alternate jersey that's
- 25:03Speaker 3: been out in the market. They're glowing the dark stuff.
- 25:05Speaker 3: So that's going to be exciting. It's gonna be fun
- 25:07Speaker 3: game Saturday.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Bucky and I have one. Yeah, should we wear them Friday?
- 25:13Speaker 3: Do you guys the lights out and just kind.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Of oh yeah all the time they look like, yeah, yeah,
- 25:17Speaker 1: we hide and go seek in the dark, always find
- 25:20Speaker 1: and go seek.
- 25:20Speaker 2: It's terrible sweater, I've come to find out.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, we keep playing over and over and over.
- 25:26Speaker 4: I keep telling them, but they can't ever find me
- 25:28Speaker 4: because I'm in the dark.
- 25:30Speaker 3: I told this to ever at dinner day. You know
- 25:32Speaker 3: where they make new sweaters, right where New Jersey New Wow.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Your kids, that's why he's the best color man of
- 25:46Speaker 1: the business people there Jersey.
- 25:48Speaker 2: I get it.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Well, enjoy a little extra time off this week at home,
- 25:52Speaker 1: which is even extra valuable. Uh, and then we'll be
- 25:56Speaker 1: listening on Saturday night, sir.
- 25:59Speaker 3: I'm gonna see you guys person next week, plan on it?
- 26:01Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I'll coming in. Well, where are going in
- 26:04Speaker 1: the dark jerseys?
- 26:06Speaker 2: Yeah? Nothing else.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Al Kiniski joining us right here on the Chuck and
- 26:11Speaker 1: Buck in the morning again. Saturday's the next game against
- 26:15Speaker 1: the Rangers at Climate Pledge Arena. They'll drop the puck
- 26:18Speaker 1: at seven o'clock. So, yeah, a little couple extra days
- 26:22Speaker 1: off here, and that's good. He's been playing a lot
- 26:24Speaker 1: of hockey so far this young season. All right, coming
- 26:27Speaker 1: up next week, close out our Wednesday show with one
- 26:31Speaker 1: last thing Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r
- 26:33Speaker 1: f M. Sorry, one last thing. That's all we got
- 26:43Speaker 1: time for here on this Wednesday. I got three, so
- 26:46Speaker 1: I'm hoping one of you takes at least one of
- 26:49Speaker 1: my three off my plate.
- 26:50Speaker 2: I don't have one. Do you want to use mine?
- 26:53Speaker 1: Ashley? Do you have one?
- 26:54Speaker 5: I want to give a shout out to Aaron Levine.
- 26:56Speaker 4: He was the yeah yeah again yesterday good barely held on,
- 27:03Speaker 4: didn't didn't succeed in the final jeopardy, but he held on.
- 27:06Speaker 5: He's back again tonight, go air and go.
- 27:10Speaker 1: So he won. He's won two in a row.
- 27:12Speaker 6: Yeah, a little lucky and final Jeopardy last night.
- 27:15Speaker 2: He got it wrong, but the other guy got it
- 27:17Speaker 2: wrong also.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I just gonna start calling that guy Captain Coy.
- 27:21Speaker 1: I mean, he acted like he just embarrassed himself on
- 27:25Speaker 1: national television when we were talking to him off the air.
- 27:27Speaker 1: And it turns out he's like Ken Jennings.
- 27:30Speaker 5: Yeah, who knows, maybe he'll be smarter than Jennings. Craziness.
- 27:34Speaker 6: Yeah, I told him last night, you're the my smartest friend,
- 27:37Speaker 6: I think.
- 27:38Speaker 2: But don't let that go to your head. That's not
- 27:40Speaker 2: saying that.
- 27:40Speaker 4: That's what I told him the other day, and that's
- 27:42Speaker 4: when he tricked me and was like, but Ashley, they
- 27:43Speaker 4: put a lot of smart people on that show.
- 27:46Speaker 1: I think he finished third and beat Bucky.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a definite. I mean he's not that smart.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Smart that on.
- 27:57Speaker 5: Real brain Power next Thursday. Yeah, we could probably do
- 27:59Speaker 5: it next. I actually knew the.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Final Jeopardy one that he got wrong?
- 28:03Speaker 1: Is that right, face Levine?
- 28:06Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 28:06Speaker 5: Take that to be fair. It had to do with Booze,
- 28:08Speaker 5: it did.
- 28:10Speaker 2: The answer was what is wild Turkey? Yeah?
- 28:12Speaker 1: You didn't even know.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Stanford. Oh, they're just about Lewis Clark State.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Bud is.
- 28:24Speaker 6: So delicious with Marie take that Levine?
- 28:29Speaker 1: Yeah, Marty pants, what is rose Can? All right? I'm
- 28:36Speaker 1: gonna I thought for sure, what of you're gonna take this?
- 28:39Speaker 1: Cal Raleigh, Oh yeah, was named the twenty twenty five
- 28:43Speaker 1: Player Choice Award for Outstanding Player and not just the
- 28:48Speaker 1: American League, in all of baseball. So that means the
- 28:52Speaker 1: players who vote for this voted for Cal over both
- 28:56Speaker 1: Aaron Judge and show a Otani as the player of
- 29:01Speaker 1: the Year in Major League Baseball this year.
- 29:04Speaker 2: How about that?
- 29:05Speaker 6: And I think that, I mean, well, there's certain times
- 29:07Speaker 6: that players don't really care about a lot of voting,
- 29:10Speaker 6: particularly like the Pro Bowl voting or something like that.
- 29:13Speaker 6: It's a popularity contest. I think that this is one
- 29:16Speaker 6: where it's the players recognizing how difficult it is to
- 29:19Speaker 6: be a catcher. Yeah, and how difficult it must be
- 29:22Speaker 6: to keep two different swings right for the entire season
- 29:27Speaker 6: and put up the numbers he put up. To me,
- 29:28Speaker 6: it should speak volumes. But then again, I think the
- 29:31Speaker 6: people that already vote have already.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Done it right, and I think that a lot of
- 29:36Speaker 1: baseball writers recognize that as well, and I think it
- 29:39Speaker 1: will be felt. Will it win the day when Aaron
- 29:42Speaker 1: Judge has such an impressive resume that I don't know,
- 29:46Speaker 1: but I think that plenty of baseball writers recognize those
- 29:50Speaker 1: things as well and value them. But I mean, he's
- 29:55Speaker 1: going up against a monster and Judge, And there's also,
- 30:00Speaker 1: let's face it, there's more East Coast voters and they
- 30:04Speaker 1: don't stay up till ten o'clock to watch Cal Rawley
- 30:06Speaker 1: at home runs. Yeah, there's that as well. So I'm
- 30:11Speaker 1: still not sure. I think maybe I'm fifty one nine
- 30:15Speaker 1: and that Judge is going to win it, But I'm
- 30:18Speaker 1: ninety nine to one that Cal should win it.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm more than fifty one percent that Cal
- 30:23Speaker 6: is going to win it, But that's me just giving
- 30:24Speaker 6: a lot of credit to pay.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I'm giving fifty one to Judge. Yeah, I think Judge
- 30:28Speaker 1: is the slight favorite too well, and I understand it's
- 30:31Speaker 1: a good debate. It just as if you just think
- 30:32Speaker 1: about the difference catching and playing right field some of
- 30:36Speaker 1: the season, it's not a contest, all right. I'm going
- 30:39Speaker 1: to close with this, how long do does time have
- 30:47Speaker 1: to pass before your concerts have to be promoted that
- 30:51Speaker 1: you are once a heart throbbing Oh?
- 30:54Speaker 4: I feel like if you're if you haven't been a
- 30:56Speaker 4: heart drob in like ten years. It shouldn't be fit
- 30:58Speaker 4: something you're hanging your hat on.
- 30:59Speaker 1: It's been forty years since Rick Springfield was an eighties
- 31:04Speaker 1: heart throb, and yet they're still using it to promote
- 31:07Speaker 1: his concerts, hit recording artist and eighties heart throb.
- 31:12Speaker 5: Yeah, I Springfield.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Who's buying tickets to see a guy forty years after
- 31:18Speaker 1: he was a heart throb? You better like his music,
- 31:21Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
- 31:24Speaker 5: Well after he was probably a heart.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Saying don't go see you, But I'm not saying he
- 31:28Speaker 1: wasn't a heart throw But forty years after being a
- 31:31Speaker 1: heart throb, I don't know if you should be promoting
- 31:34Speaker 1: that once upon a time you might not believe this
- 31:37Speaker 1: this guy was.
- 31:38Speaker 5: A heart Yeah, exactly.
- 31:39Speaker 4: You don't want to be like oh, because then people
- 31:41Speaker 4: go and there like, wait, he was a heart throw.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Yeah, but see, I.
- 31:43Speaker 6: Think it's you're you're actually just speaking to the fans,
- 31:46Speaker 6: those that thought he was a heart throb. Then they're
- 31:49Speaker 6: not heart throbs any longer either, so they're still.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Gonna buy tickets.
- 31:53Speaker 6: Yeah, they just remember they remember when they had the
- 31:56Speaker 6: poster on the wall, And I mean it's Jesse's girl.
- 31:59Speaker 1: It's love, all right. I mean, there's plenty of reasons
- 32:02Speaker 1: to go see Rick Springfield. And for his age, I'm
- 32:05Speaker 1: sure he's still one handsome fella. Yeah.
- 32:07Speaker 5: I got to look him up and see if he
- 32:08Speaker 5: is still Just.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Don't know if I'm promoting. Hey, coming up this weekend,
- 32:12Speaker 1: thirty's heart Throb.
- 32:15Speaker 4: Wow. It's weird though, because he does actually look like
