- 1:34Speaker 1: his third goal in his last two playoff runs, and
- 1:37Speaker 1: the Avalanche have doubled their lead. It's two nothing, Colorado.
- 1:42Speaker 2: That's the blow your.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Wady for the Qualiti.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Baby.
- 1:47Speaker 3: The weekend went basically as good as it could have gone.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Not only do you get one to no stars fromoth
- 1:54Speaker 3: the Avs and the Nuggets to start these playoffs, they
- 1:58Speaker 3: beat the Dodgers and the Dodgers, and meet accuse the
- 2:00Speaker 3: Rockies of cheating. They're like, this doesn't happen to you, guy.
- 2:03Speaker 3: You guys cheated. That's the only way you win. But
- 2:06Speaker 3: I'm messing it into from the weekend. This weekend a
- 2:08Speaker 3: mess of things I should say, And let's start with yesterday.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Mosh.
- 2:13Speaker 3: That is the sort of feel that I think we
- 2:18Speaker 3: expected going into the game. Nik Wa said, as much like,
- 2:20Speaker 3: this is not going to be a series where we
- 2:22Speaker 3: score five goals a night. We might have to win
- 2:24Speaker 3: one to nothing every night, and we're prepared to do it.
- 2:28Speaker 3: The thing that I enjoyed most, I think the Avs
- 2:31Speaker 3: initiated the physicality early in that game. And it was
- 2:34Speaker 3: Manson and Landiskott kind of leading the way.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I told you the LA Kings, what do they like
- 2:39Speaker 2: to do and what are they going to do? Bang?
- 2:42Speaker 2: They're gonna bang. That's exactly right. They're gonna hit you.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And let me man not Tornawski like, let me try
- 2:50Speaker 2: to get the total here, vic. I believe it was
- 2:55Speaker 2: fifty nine hits for LA. I believe. Let's see, Okay,
- 3:02Speaker 2: I'm sorry it came out the forty nine hits for LA,
- 3:04Speaker 2: thirty five for the Avs.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Yeah, eighty four was the most combined hits all season
- 3:09Speaker 3: or something like that.
- 3:09Speaker 2: And it beat the previous combined which was the Avs
- 3:12Speaker 2: in LA, which was fifty eight. So I mean it
- 3:14Speaker 2: blew the doors off the previous game. And that's what
- 3:17Speaker 2: That's what the LA Kings are going to do. I'm
- 3:20Speaker 2: telling you guys. Every game is going to have its
- 3:23Speaker 2: own thing, Every game is going to be different, it's
- 3:25Speaker 2: gonna have its own personality and so on. Yesterday to
- 3:28Speaker 2: me felt like a feeling out type of contest. Yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 2: the Abs were the better team though, and we know
- 3:34Speaker 2: that top to bottom they were the better team. And
- 3:36Speaker 2: I thought defensively and between the pipes. That's where it
- 3:40Speaker 2: all started. They were spectacular defensively and in their goaltending.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I thought Wedgwood was awesome, and he provided a couple
- 3:48Speaker 1: early saves, early saves that just like, ooh man, that
- 3:52Speaker 1: could have been scary. So I agree with you wholeheartedly.
- 3:56Speaker 1: This can't be character is something.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Adrian Kippe. Yeah, he's a pretty good player. Huh.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Yeah he didn't mind hitting.
- 4:03Speaker 4: No, he does not.
- 4:04Speaker 2: And he's not a small guy either, and he's incredibly talented.
- 4:07Speaker 2: This guy, it's so funny. Johnny Lyle said it. Yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 2: his release is and then he comes down to and
- 4:14Speaker 2: Woodswood makes the same with the blocker. But I mean
- 4:16Speaker 2: in a tiny little shoe box.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Yeah, he's somehow able to.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Get all of that torque on that pocket. It's just
- 4:22Speaker 2: amazing to me. These guys are These are really good players.
- 4:27Speaker 2: But I would argue to you that the Kings, I
- 4:29Speaker 2: don't know if they can play better than that.
- 4:31Speaker 4: I was gonna say they played a great game, and.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I don't know that they can.
- 4:35Speaker 3: They also caught three crossbars, and you know, I mean
- 4:38Speaker 3: like the Avs looked like they could have put five
- 4:40Speaker 3: or six on him.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Correct just missed.
- 4:43Speaker 2: And had one taken away, obviously, and I'm sure we'll
- 4:45Speaker 2: get to that. Go ahead and ask me, because I
- 4:48Speaker 2: don't friggin know. If friggin don't know. And by the way, boy,
- 4:52Speaker 2: do I have Minnesota Wild fans who hate my guts,
- 4:55Speaker 2: hate our whole broadcast guts? Yeah, Dallas fans who hate
- 4:58Speaker 2: our guts. These are the dumbest people in the history
- 5:00Speaker 2: of hockey. Clearly it was Drewy's fault. He initiated because
- 5:04Speaker 2: I'm like, geez, here's what.
- 5:05Speaker 4: He don't get about this.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Though he commentators broke, Here's.
- 5:08Speaker 4: What I don't get.
- 5:11Speaker 3: He ended up winning the game. Guess it doesn't matter whatever,
- 5:13Speaker 3: But Bednar thought it was worth risking a going on
- 5:17Speaker 3: the penalty kill, for.
- 5:18Speaker 2: He's got the number one penalty kill unit in the
- 5:20Speaker 2: entire world.
- 5:21Speaker 3: So, but I don't understand how Jack Drury can be
- 5:26Speaker 3: responsible for his body when somebody else forces him in
- 5:31Speaker 3: a certain motion because he's, oh, he's.
- 5:34Speaker 4: A better move.
- 5:35Speaker 3: But you could tell not only is he not near
- 5:38Speaker 3: the blue paint when he's contacted, he's circling back towards
- 5:43Speaker 3: the play until he gets the the rump thrown in
- 5:46Speaker 3: his hip and I just I'm like, how are you
- 5:49Speaker 3: going to punish a guy for taking a hit?
- 5:51Speaker 4: Essentially, that's what I don't understand.
- 5:54Speaker 1: I have never seen a phase of the game change
- 5:58Speaker 1: and becomes so nebulous. The goalie interference now has gone
- 6:02Speaker 1: from pretty cut and dry to I have no idea
- 6:08Speaker 1: what you guys should say, think assume. I have no
- 6:12Speaker 1: idea none, zero, And I don't know how they do anymore.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of it anymore.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Who made it? Was that Logan on this and then
- 6:20Speaker 3: he just got one later forgetting exactly right vic. I
- 6:23Speaker 3: don't know either. If they called it a good goal,
- 6:27Speaker 3: I bet it stands. They call it no goal, so
- 6:29Speaker 3: it stands.
- 6:30Speaker 4: But he confirmed it. He did say confirmed right.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Well, I guess let's address this right now. I don't
- 6:37Speaker 2: know what. I don't know because I don't know what anymore.
- 6:40Speaker 2: I just I really don't, And obviously coach Bednor doesn't either.
- 6:45Speaker 2: If I don't know and the coach doesn't know, how
- 6:47Speaker 2: are the fans even remotely going to know?
- 6:50Speaker 1: No chance? So, and everybody's throwing conjecture. Everybody's saying, oh,
- 6:54Speaker 1: you idiots, oh you missed this. Nobody knows the real
- 6:57Speaker 1: answer here, because you could you could form any opinion
- 7:01Speaker 1: and turn that appears.
- 7:02Speaker 2: So Dowdy's Dowdy's entitled vic to back in. I mean,
- 7:05Speaker 2: he's on his straight line and so on. He's entitled
- 7:08Speaker 2: to that, I thought, Johnny, I mean, listen, I'm doing
- 7:12Speaker 2: the game with two former players, a forward end defenseman,
- 7:16Speaker 2: and while they do AVS games, they both go Trust
- 7:20Speaker 2: me when I tell you, Dowd he knows exactly what
- 7:22Speaker 2: he's doing. Yeah, he knows exactly what's going on there.
- 7:26Speaker 2: He's been around, obviously, he's a future Hall of Famer.
- 7:28Speaker 2: He knows exactly how to work that situation. And go, oh,
- 7:33Speaker 2: I didn't do anything. You know that that kind of
- 7:36Speaker 2: he knows. But that does not translate then into it's
- 7:41Speaker 2: clearly a goal, you know what I mean, It's just
- 7:44Speaker 2: just the way it is.
- 7:45Speaker 3: To have success in this series. Into score, you're just
- 7:49Speaker 3: gonna have to really, really be a grinder. And that's
- 7:52Speaker 3: I think the perfect example is like as first goal
- 7:55Speaker 3: of the game, like it's I just need to outwork
- 7:59Speaker 3: this guy in front of the net and find a
- 8:00Speaker 3: way to get a stick on this thing. And finally,
- 8:03Speaker 3: like I was never nervous that the Kings were gonna
- 8:07Speaker 3: take over, but I was nervous that you're putting in
- 8:10Speaker 3: all this work. It feels like you're sort of dominating
- 8:12Speaker 3: the game, but it's still zero zero and I'm waiting
- 8:16Speaker 3: for the weird bouncing puck to go the wrong way
- 8:18Speaker 3: and then the game flips a little bit. So I'm
- 8:20Speaker 3: just glad you got on you got on top first
- 8:23Speaker 3: and liking it needed to do that.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Well, just get that first game out of the way.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I didn't get that out of the way, and it
- 8:28Speaker 1: was a close game on the scoreboard. We all know
- 8:30Speaker 1: it was a close game statistically, for crying out loud,
- 8:33Speaker 1: it was. But it's okay, get that out of the way,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and now maintain the pressure, maintain the dominance that you
- 8:40Speaker 1: are mostly.
- 8:41Speaker 2: But here's the kind of give you a little reality
- 8:43Speaker 2: of the situation. How many wins do the Kings need
- 8:46Speaker 2: to win this series?
- 8:47Speaker 1: They need four wins now to win.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that being said, yeah that's not happening in
- 8:54Speaker 2: the last twenty six games between these two. How many
- 8:56Speaker 2: wins do the Kings have? Uh, let's see this last
- 9:01Speaker 2: twenty six games.
- 9:03Speaker 1: This this is regular season. Clearly, Yes, I don't know
- 9:07Speaker 1: what how many wins do the Kings have three?
- 9:10Speaker 2: They've got four, Okay, they're four and twenty two in
- 9:15Speaker 2: their last twenty six against the Avalanche. Yes, are they
- 9:18Speaker 2: gonna win four out of six? I don't. I don't.
- 9:20Speaker 2: They could be tough there, but they're They're a hell
- 9:23Speaker 2: of a hockey club. But I mean, statistically, if you
- 9:27Speaker 2: play your game, if you're the Abs, you play your
- 9:29Speaker 2: game correctly, you're gonna be okay.
- 9:32Speaker 1: You know, I'm not really worried about the outcome of
- 9:34Speaker 1: this series. I think the Abs will win. I'm more
- 9:36Speaker 1: worried about any type of health issues that may arise
- 9:39Speaker 1: because the Kings play that style. Yeah, that's that's honestly
- 9:43Speaker 1: to top of mind. The only issue I have is nobody,
- 9:48Speaker 1: Nobody delve into that, Nobody fall for that, because that's
- 9:51Speaker 1: all you need is losing a key player to that
- 9:54Speaker 1: team because of the way they play. By the way,
- 9:56Speaker 1: moj I was up in your broadcast boot so up
- 10:00Speaker 1: on one there? Why were all three of you up there?
- 10:02Speaker 1: Why was at Riker downstairs?
- 10:04Speaker 2: Because ESPN was doing the game?
- 10:07Speaker 1: You tell LEESPN that this is our house or sorry,
- 10:11Speaker 1: C and T it was T and T that this
- 10:13Speaker 1: is Denver.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Okay, Well, anyway, Brian Bouchet was down between the benches
- 10:17Speaker 2: and Eddie Olchrick was up upstairs.
- 10:19Speaker 1: You tell Brian Bouschet check with me next time.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Just let Brian Bouche and Riker both stand at the
- 10:24Speaker 3: spot called the game from there.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Actually some buildings, it's big enough they can.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Oh really, yes, I have a question. It's sort of
- 10:32Speaker 3: like protocol. What do you do sort of thing when
- 10:35Speaker 3: you're up two to nothing in a playoff game with
- 10:38Speaker 3: eight minutes left, but kempe starts going after your star
- 10:43Speaker 3: player in cal mccarr. What's protocol? Because you don't want
- 10:46Speaker 3: to take a penalty. You don't want to do anything stupid.
- 10:48Speaker 3: You don't want to do this in that What are
- 10:50Speaker 3: they supposed to do there? I mean, I know Glandy
- 10:53Speaker 3: got you, well.
- 10:55Speaker 2: They and they both got they both got roughing penalties. Yeah,
- 10:58Speaker 2: how about keep Alaniskogg. It's funny that you point that out. Now.
- 11:03Speaker 2: He's had his battles with Matthew could Chuck in the
- 11:05Speaker 2: past that suspended for one, He's had battles with other guys.
- 11:11Speaker 2: With the battles that Gabe Landskog has had with his
- 11:13Speaker 2: fellow Swedes. Yeah, the tuning of the up of the
- 11:18Speaker 2: I mean he's. I mean he beat the snut out
- 11:20Speaker 2: of Braidon Shin, you know, I mean he's. He's But
- 11:25Speaker 2: boyle boy doesn't countryman doesn't matter when it comes to
- 11:27Speaker 2: Stanley could playoff hockey. No, like oh we were king
- 11:30Speaker 2: the Olympics together more th and a half ago.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Bang, dude, I'm telling you, between him and Manson, especially
- 11:35Speaker 3: early in that game, it's so funny. You can I
- 11:39Speaker 3: think in thirty seconds, you play a thirty second clip
- 11:42Speaker 3: of a random game, you'll be able to tell immediately
- 11:44Speaker 3: whether it's a playoff game or not totally.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Because every check is being finished.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Anybody who touches the pocket is getting thrown against the boards.
- 11:52Speaker 3: And I'm telling you that that hit early in the game,
- 11:56Speaker 3: the sort of reverse hit that Manson had that people
- 11:59Speaker 3: were saying is interference, And at least online people were saying.
- 12:01Speaker 4: That was interference.
- 12:02Speaker 3: I don't know what you felt about that, moch, but
- 12:04Speaker 3: it was the one that just laid the dude out.
- 12:06Speaker 3: And I can't remember who it was. It was Scott Lawton, yeah,
- 12:12Speaker 3: or a lot lot takes one gets airborne and then
- 12:15Speaker 3: ends up on his face on the eye.
- 12:16Speaker 1: In the first period.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, here it is. I'm gonna send this to
- 12:20Speaker 2: every now and again. I I mean, I just I
- 12:22Speaker 2: love it when something pops up and I hear the
- 12:25Speaker 2: lake Gray Peter McNabb. I'd just love to hear his voice,
- 12:28Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I'm gonna send this to
- 12:29Speaker 2: Steve Well. This is the time that Landiskog beat the
- 12:32Speaker 2: living snot out of Matias echol mm hm, who's playing
- 12:36Speaker 2: for Nashville at the time. And yep, it just it
- 12:41Speaker 2: shows you that Landeskog is not going to suffer fools.
- 12:45Speaker 2: He's just not gonna do it. I mean, the captain
- 12:47Speaker 2: is back and he's he's Landy. Yeah, I mean, he's
- 12:51Speaker 2: full on, full on Landy.
- 12:53Speaker 1: You know what that game was yesterday? From a fan
- 12:56Speaker 1: perspective watching the Avs. You know, the Avs are gonna
- 12:59Speaker 1: win this series, but it's almost like a collective relief,
- 13:02Speaker 1: like you win the game or it's just you're relieved.
- 13:05Speaker 1: All right, they got through it, They're gonna win the series.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Let's relieve our way through this series? Am I off

- 15:54Speaker 2: me when I knew the Nuggets were going to win.
- 15:59Speaker 1: When that crazy play occurred and Jamal had to throw
- 16:02Speaker 1: it from half court and the Nuggets beat everybody to
- 16:05Speaker 1: the rebound and it ended in an ag dunk and
- 16:09Speaker 1: that secured the wind.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I knew. I knew sometime around late second quarter. Now
- 16:19Speaker 2: gets we're coming back, coming back, coming back, and they
- 16:22Speaker 2: finally obviously got it tied. They didn't like all that
- 16:25Speaker 2: high scoring first quarter for the Tea Wolves. I'd like
- 16:29Speaker 2: the Nuggets high scoring second quarter. I did like that,
- 16:32Speaker 2: but I didn't I'd like the high scoring half, if
- 16:34Speaker 2: you will.
- 16:35Speaker 4: I hated the beginning of the game.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Too many points, yeah, way too many. But they're down
- 16:39Speaker 2: by what twelve in the first fourteen whatever? It was, right,
- 16:42Speaker 2: they're just turning the ball over being knuckleheads. But when
- 16:45Speaker 2: they made that push late in the second quarter, this
- 16:48Speaker 2: is why I know ball. This is why I'm meet
- 16:50Speaker 2: Vic and you're used. I'm like, they got this, they
- 16:57Speaker 2: they have this, and all the push by the tups
- 17:00Speaker 2: late and so on. Third quarter was brilliant.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Third quarter was a defensive push they had. It was
- 17:05Speaker 1: only seventeen points.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Spectacular third quarter. And I knew late in quarter number two, okay,
- 17:12Speaker 2: stop stop, you know palpitating, Moje, You're okay, They're okay,
- 17:17Speaker 2: It's gonna be okay. Cam he hit a couple of
- 17:19Speaker 2: big shots.
- 17:21Speaker 4: It was I think a brutal start to the game.
- 17:23Speaker 3: They couldn't make a shot, Bond, couldn't get a stop,
- 17:26Speaker 3: ag leaves with three fouls, like, oh my god, dude,
- 17:29Speaker 3: you're turning the ball over.
- 17:30Speaker 4: And then they settled in.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is something that we mentioned this going
- 17:35Speaker 3: into the series, and I saw so much of it,
- 17:38Speaker 3: not only during the game but in the post game.
- 17:41Speaker 3: I think Minnesota mentally is soft.
- 17:44Speaker 4: I really do.
- 17:45Speaker 3: They just the fact that Finch, the first thing he
- 17:48Speaker 3: does when he goes to the post game is complaining
- 17:50Speaker 3: that Jamal shot sixteen.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Saw that first first thing. Yeah, I saw that coming.
- 17:55Speaker 1: We predicted that upstairs. I said, as soon as I
- 17:57Speaker 1: saw those stats from Jamal, I said, that's going to
- 18:00Speaker 1: be a talking point to them, and it was.
- 18:02Speaker 3: But I think, you know, we talked about this with
- 18:06Speaker 3: with Ant's mentality, and I really think it comes from
- 18:08Speaker 3: the top of that team.
- 18:09Speaker 4: It's Ant and it's Finch.
- 18:12Speaker 3: They do not handle adversity, well, they don't, and they
- 18:16Speaker 3: get frustrated so quickly. You saw it with Jade McDaniels.
- 18:19Speaker 3: So he got popped in the face on accident when
- 18:21Speaker 3: Yoki was going for the ball, and the first thing
- 18:23Speaker 3: he does is give Yokic a two hand shove underneath
- 18:25Speaker 3: the hoop. And credit to Joker for literally not reacting
- 18:28Speaker 3: at all, Like, didn't do a thing. I was shocked
- 18:32Speaker 3: that he wasn't gonna take those those huge serbian stomps
- 18:35Speaker 3: towards him.
- 18:36Speaker 4: Didn't do a thing.
- 18:37Speaker 3: But it's like you got under their skin so easily,
- 18:41Speaker 3: so easily, it felt like it took him out of
- 18:43Speaker 3: the game.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Vic.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple observations from that game. Number One, Anthony
- 18:49Speaker 1: Edwards doesn't look right.
- 18:52Speaker 4: He was limping in the first quarterback.
- 18:54Speaker 1: He doesn't look right. He doesn't look explosive. He had
- 18:56Speaker 1: a couple of nice drives that you're like, Okay, nobody's
- 18:59Speaker 1: stopping that, but he didn't do it enough times. He
- 19:01Speaker 1: didn't look right. Number one, that's number number two. This
- 19:05Speaker 1: is a different Minnesota team now that they don't have
- 19:08Speaker 1: Cat to guard Joker. Yeah, because when it's just Rudy
- 19:12Speaker 1: versus Joker. And I thought Rudy actually did a great job.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I thought he was I thought Rudy was pretty good.
- 19:17Speaker 2: And by the way, Vic for.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Giving up a triple double, right double, and that's a
- 19:21Speaker 1: pretty good job.
- 19:22Speaker 2: But if I say, if I say, hey man, it
- 19:24Speaker 2: was a strip a thon, what do you think?
- 19:28Speaker 4: Sign me up?
- 19:29Speaker 2: Right? See, that's what exactly you're thinking. The ballet, the
- 19:32Speaker 2: Glendale ballet, Uh huh. But in that first first half,
- 19:36Speaker 2: it was a strip of thought. I mean, jokers down.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Joker's down there and he says, turn the ball over
- 19:41Speaker 2: all the time, and I'm like, go bear had active hands. Vic.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Yeah, they took care of the ball in the second half.
- 19:47Speaker 1: That proved to be the difference that third quarter. The
- 19:49Speaker 1: defensive vice by the Nuggets playing you know, they're not
- 19:51Speaker 1: going to be a great defensive team, but they can
- 19:53Speaker 1: play in runs. Right, there's moments where their defense really
- 19:58Speaker 1: buckles down, and that proved to be a difference maker
- 20:01Speaker 1: in the second half. The one thing I love going
- 20:03Speaker 1: into game two tonight, and I really believe if the
- 20:06Speaker 1: Nuggets win Game two, they will win this series. I
- 20:08Speaker 1: think it comes down to tonight's game. I said Game one, Well, yeah,
- 20:11Speaker 1: the winner Game one will win the series. Game two
- 20:13Speaker 1: will make me more comfortable winning. The seris if you
- 20:16Speaker 1: lose Game two, it's it's it's an open wound. Okay,
- 20:19Speaker 1: you win Game two, you go there to nothing, and
- 20:21Speaker 1: I feel a lot better. The thing is this, it's
- 20:25Speaker 1: so much, it's so glaring to know that the Nuggets
- 20:30Speaker 1: on a bad shooting night where this is the number
- 20:34Speaker 1: one three point shooting team in the NBA accuracy wise,
- 20:38Speaker 1: and they were ten percent lower than their normal standards.
- 20:41Speaker 1: They shot twenty seven percent from three. Then I think
- 20:45Speaker 1: they finished one for the last seventeen from three one
- 20:50Speaker 1: and they still won the game. What was the final
- 20:53Speaker 1: They win by double digits?
- 20:54Speaker 4: Oh yeah, one, sixteen five.
- 20:57Speaker 1: They still won the game by double digits. They still
- 20:59Speaker 1: pulled away in a game in which Jamal Murray oh
- 21:04Speaker 1: for eight. This guy's one of the best three point
- 21:07Speaker 1: marksmen in the game. He couldn't buy one and still
- 21:11Speaker 1: finished with thirty and they still won the game. So
- 21:16Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna find another game in
- 21:18Speaker 1: the series where the Nuggets will shoot the three that
- 21:20Speaker 1: poorly and they still won. That is great news.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Okay, so a couple things.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Number One, I think that somebody was a massive difference maker.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Massive.
- 21:31Speaker 3: When I saw Ag leave with three foulsand in the
- 21:33Speaker 3: first quarter, I was like, Oh my god, what are
- 21:34Speaker 3: they gonna do now there's no Watson to step in.
- 21:37Speaker 4: I thought Bruce Brown was remarkable.
- 21:39Speaker 1: We had five steals.
- 21:41Speaker 3: And just setting the tone for what he I mean,
- 21:44Speaker 3: he's one of those spark plug guys right where he
- 21:46Speaker 3: makes a play and then he'll let the crowd know
- 21:48Speaker 3: about it, like all that sort of stuff.
- 21:50Speaker 1: It's the little things he does too. Man, when you
- 21:52Speaker 1: tap the ball away and it leads to a turnover.
- 21:55Speaker 1: We had him on the postgame show and he finishes
- 21:57Speaker 1: what with seven point to eight boards, five steals. It's
- 22:00Speaker 1: the steels, guys, it's being dynamic. It's it's the kind
- 22:03Speaker 1: of stuff that they've been missing causing those little turnovers
- 22:07Speaker 1: that can change a game. The second unit most you
- 22:10Speaker 1: mentioned out the second quarter, Uh, it was relieved to
- 22:13Speaker 1: watch them come back. Well, they did it without Joker.
- 22:15Speaker 1: They were plus six and those non Jokic minutes.
- 22:18Speaker 2: I like the attitude of Bruce Brown. I just like
- 22:22Speaker 2: his attitude. I like his feistiness.
- 22:24Speaker 4: He's got some of that Russell Westbrook style.
- 22:26Speaker 2: He's got the spice that comes in. I like that.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Hey, Nelly, do you have the Chris Finch sound on
- 22:33Speaker 1: Jee Murray and the fouls because you know, listen, this
- 22:38Speaker 1: is the politics of basketball. I knew this was coming,
- 22:41Speaker 1: and frankly, if it worked the other way, if it's
- 22:45Speaker 1: I don't know, Jade McDaniel's going to the line sixteen times,
- 22:49Speaker 1: I'm sure the Nuggets may bark something. This is gamesmanship, right,
- 22:52Speaker 1: you guys see it. You knew this was coming, right.
- 22:54Speaker 1: You knew they were going to complain about fouls because
- 22:57Speaker 1: they hope that somebody listens and a care. He's over
- 23:00Speaker 1: in the game too. But listen, I want to point
- 23:03Speaker 1: something out. If you listen to him talk about it.
- 23:06Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought the I thought we played really good defense.
- 23:08Speaker 7: I thought on him a lot of those ones in
- 23:11Speaker 7: the second quarter.
- 23:12Speaker 2: We were there, we were physical, we were vertical.
- 23:15Speaker 7: You know, he initiated the contact, he spills away and
- 23:18Speaker 7: then he gets rewarded for it. Joki does the same thing.
- 23:21Speaker 7: You know, we got to be solid around that. But uh,
- 23:25Speaker 7: you know, sixteen free throws is a lot. You know,
- 23:27Speaker 7: sixteen free throws, it's almost as many as we shot
- 23:30Speaker 7: all game.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Okay, two things. You got into the bonus early in
- 23:35Speaker 1: the game. They got into the bonus. The Nuggets did
- 23:37Speaker 1: with seven twenty nine into the game. So if you're
- 23:41Speaker 1: if you're complaining that it's a lot of free throws,
- 23:44Speaker 1: quit fouling you guys.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Foul a lot.
- 23:47Speaker 1: You foul a lot, and you send the opposing team
- 23:50Speaker 1: to the foul line a lot. That's number one. Number
- 23:52Speaker 1: two is Jamal Murray of all the players in the NBA,
- 23:56Speaker 1: and I'm trying to remain pisses me off. Yeah, I'm
- 23:58Speaker 1: trying to remain as objective as I possibly can't. Who
- 24:02Speaker 1: is the least likely to flop in this series?
- 24:07Speaker 4: What vic are you talking about? Noted flopper Jamal Murray
- 24:10Speaker 4: of all people.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Really, you can make your case for Joker, I get
- 24:15Speaker 1: it you can, but please don't make that accusation. Jamal Murray,
- 24:20Speaker 1: I can't remember. He just doesn't do that.
- 24:24Speaker 3: He's never on the floor. He's never on the floor.
- 24:26Speaker 3: And by the way, he got sixteen free throws three
- 24:29Speaker 3: of them were from the flagrant where it was Jade
- 24:31Speaker 3: McDaniel's foot in the landing zone, and if you look
- 24:34Speaker 3: at that replay, Jamal's actually trying to avoid hitting his foot.
- 24:37Speaker 3: He turns his feet when he lands the side and
- 24:40Speaker 3: McDaniels was the one who moved his foot in.
- 24:43Speaker 2: If there's one way to turn an ankle, that's the
- 24:45Speaker 2: way to do it.
- 24:45Speaker 3: And then he got one other free throw off a
- 24:48Speaker 3: technical foul. So I mean, twelve is still a lot
- 24:51Speaker 3: of free throws, but to say sixteen is a little
- 24:53Speaker 3: fraudulent to start with because four of them came off text. Secondly,
- 24:58Speaker 3: to say that about Jamal Murray is one of the
- 25:00Speaker 3: most insane things I've ever heard.
- 25:02Speaker 4: And it didn't stop there. Anthony Edwards after.
- 25:04Speaker 1: The game, No, not really.
- 25:05Speaker 8: I mean we expected it to be a game like this.
- 25:09Speaker 8: If that's the case, then we wasn't mentally ready because
- 25:13Speaker 8: we knew how it was gonna go. And yeah, they're
- 25:15Speaker 8: gonna get foul calls and we might not get none,
- 25:17Speaker 8: and that's okay. So we got to be ready for
- 25:20Speaker 8: that and mentally prepared for it to go their way
- 25:22Speaker 8: and not go our way. And we should be Okay,
- 25:25Speaker 8: with that.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Just quickly, I just want to talk about, like, I
- 25:29Speaker 3: don't know, if there's a bigger disconnect that I've seen,
- 25:33Speaker 3: then multiple teams have done this. Steve Kurrs said this
- 25:35Speaker 3: about the Nuggets before, Chris Finch now has said it.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Multiple people have said Oklahoma City fans think this the
- 25:43Speaker 3: perception surrounding the Nuggets getting foul calls from people outside
- 25:48Speaker 3: of Denver as opposed to inside.
- 25:50Speaker 4: I cannot find a bigger contrast.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Well, everyone's going to have a different viewpoint based on
- 25:54Speaker 1: your fanaticism, right. I mean I'm watching that game and
- 25:57Speaker 1: I'm saying, Wow, Minnesota's getting away with a lot of
- 25:59Speaker 1: physical here. How many times did you guys see ag
- 26:02Speaker 1: on the ground? Right? I mean, this is going to happen.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Each side is going to claim that the whistle wasn't
- 26:09Speaker 1: fair each this is what worked. This is how it
- 26:12Speaker 1: goes in the postseason.
- 26:14Speaker 2: But then it's gonna go the other way. We're gonna
- 26:16Speaker 2: come into here on these air waves going, oh my god, man,
- 26:20Speaker 2: what a bunch of bunk. I mean, that's just the
- 26:22Speaker 2: way it goes. Uh.
- 26:24Speaker 1: The Jadan McDaniels, by the way, the jov same thing.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Look the Kings took plenty of penalties yesterday. But Cadrick
- 26:31Speaker 2: gets tripped up, Yeah, out of nowhere, and there's no
- 26:36Speaker 2: call at all. You're like, okay, if you're gonna eat
- 26:38Speaker 2: the whistle, eat the whistle. That's all.
- 26:40Speaker 1: So the the Jaden McDaniel shove two hand shoved to
- 26:44Speaker 1: Joker out of bounds. Now, it was preceded. During that play.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Joker was trying to knock the ball out of his
- 26:50Speaker 1: hands and he slapped McDaniels in the face, and McDaniels
- 26:55Speaker 1: was mad. So his response is to two hands shove
- 26:58Speaker 1: Joker out of bounds.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Thoughts, Well, my lovely wife goes, well, that must have
- 27:05Speaker 2: been a hard shove, because that's a big man he shoved.
- 27:08Speaker 2: I said, yeah, that was a hard shove.
- 27:10Speaker 1: He told it.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I mean, thoughts, how on how the Nuggets reacted or oh,
- 27:18Speaker 3: I think it's weak what you took a foul because
- 27:22Speaker 3: somebody is swiping at the ball he missed. He catching
- 27:24Speaker 3: the face probably doesn't feel good.
- 27:26Speaker 1: He's one of those guys you were talking about.
- 27:28Speaker 4: He's a front runner.
- 27:29Speaker 1: He's not poised. No, he's a front run poison.
- 27:31Speaker 4: That whole team is front runner.
- 27:33Speaker 1: He's not a poised player.
- 27:34Speaker 4: When they're playing.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Yes, when they're playing, well, everything's hunky dory. They're laughing,
- 27:39Speaker 3: they're joking. But if things aren't going their way, that
- 27:41Speaker 3: team melts man.
- 27:42Speaker 1: He lacks it was.
- 27:43Speaker 2: It was complete frustration because they couldn't make a bucket.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Nuggets had built themselves a double digit lead. He finally
- 27:50Speaker 2: made a little floater in the lane than the shove.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Pure frustration, so pure.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Can I point out something else? I don't know how
- 27:58Speaker 3: many other people picked up on that. It was early
- 28:01Speaker 3: in the game, and I think it was. It's pretty
- 28:04Speaker 3: clear what the Tea Wolves were trying to do, especially
- 28:07Speaker 3: early until Yo Kitchen Jamal just didn't care.
- 28:10Speaker 4: They were leaving Christian wide open. They were leaving guys wide.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Open to make sure that Yo Kitchen Murray weren't shooting,
- 28:16Speaker 3: but Christians wide open. In the corner, he's right in
- 28:18Speaker 3: front of the Tea Wolves bench, throws up a three.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Did you see Bones jump out of his seat on
- 28:25Speaker 3: the bench and get like this close the Christian while.
- 28:29Speaker 2: He was shooting.
- 28:29Speaker 3: I did not, And Brown hits the shot and then
- 28:33Speaker 3: he points and starts laughing at Bones because I'm like,
- 28:36Speaker 3: that's not allowed. You can't have somebody like I know
- 28:38Speaker 3: it's not like a hand in his face, but literally
- 28:41Speaker 3: jumped off the bench and did one of these like
- 28:44Speaker 3: right as Christians in his shooting motion. I'm like, what
- 28:46Speaker 3: the hell was that again? Bones Highland? I said, maybe
- 28:49Speaker 3: sneaky punchable face in this series?
- 28:50Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well you don't think he wants to beat Denver.
- 28:54Speaker 2: I don't care what he wants. I don't care what
- 28:57Speaker 2: he wants.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Get it, I get it. The other factor about this
- 28:59Speaker 1: game why I slept well, and you know you want
- 29:02Speaker 1: a game in which you didn't play your best. The
- 29:04Speaker 1: value of Aaron Gordon. I don't think we need to
- 29:07Speaker 1: explain how valuable he is to this team. But he
- 29:09Speaker 1: gets three fouls early. That third foul is like, okay, whatever,
- 29:13Speaker 1: three fouls and you're like, oh geez, they have to
- 29:15Speaker 1: survive the second quarter without him, and they do. They do,
- 29:20Speaker 1: and then he comes back and the little plays he
- 29:23Speaker 1: makes in that game prove to be a difference maker.
- 29:26Speaker 1: He is so valuable to this team.
- 29:28Speaker 2: I wish I have to record your pre and post
- 29:32Speaker 2: game because I watch it all. I watch it all.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Have to Are you watching the new series of Beef
- 29:42Speaker 1: on Netflix, you do watch it all and Nope, you
- 29:46Speaker 1: don't got to say anything to me.
- 29:47Speaker 4: Mot That's okay, go on, I don't.
- 29:49Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. I don't know what
- 29:51Speaker 2: he just said. I don't think he knows what he
- 29:53Speaker 2: just said.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I do watch not a binge like for.
- 29:57Speaker 2: No I watch all of you. I watch you and
- 30:00Speaker 2: Ris and Chris Katie. I watched the pregame and I
- 30:03Speaker 2: watched the post game, and you did.
- 30:06Speaker 1: I don't watch you at all.
- 30:08Speaker 2: I don't. I don't get I don't give a rats rip.
- 30:09Speaker 2: A lot of people do. I that being said, he
- 30:14Speaker 2: had a classic Lombardi comeback.
- 30:18Speaker 4: What's that?
- 30:19Speaker 2: I got to record these for no one. I have
- 30:21Speaker 2: to record them, and I've got I've.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Got to have you find my carnival barking again. Absolutely,
- 30:28Speaker 1: it was so loud, dude. We had Bruce Brown, we
- 30:33Speaker 1: had Bruce Brown on the postgame show. It was so
- 30:36Speaker 1: loud that my ears were ringing all day yesterday.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Oh I bet it would. The crowd was packed. I
- 30:41Speaker 2: mean it looked like it was hell of fun.
- 30:43Speaker 4: I have a question. I don't know how any of
- 30:44Speaker 4: you guys would know the answer to.
- 30:45Speaker 1: This, referencing that I said, what did I say that?
- 30:50Speaker 2: It's just that that long stretched out it's the long
- 30:53Speaker 2: stretched out mona. No, don't look over there, a baby.
- 30:58Speaker 3: I have a question, and they be a Texter who
- 31:01Speaker 3: is there can answer this for me. So they kept
- 31:03Speaker 3: showing the crowd outside a ball right, that's watching on
- 31:06Speaker 3: the big jumps.
- 31:07Speaker 2: By the way, both crowds were really killer. The croud
- 31:09Speaker 2: got there earlier.
- 31:10Speaker 4: So here's my question.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Is that a totally live feed connected to the arena.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Or is it delayed deadly?
- 31:16Speaker 3: Okay, so they can't can they hear a roar before
- 31:20Speaker 3: something happens?
- 31:21Speaker 2: It's no, they well, how can they hear inside the arena?
- 31:25Speaker 4: I mean they're outside on the street and they're pretty pretty.
- 31:27Speaker 2: It's pretty loud out there.
- 31:29Speaker 1: One one game is played indoor and those guys are outdoors.
- 31:32Speaker 3: I think that you can still hear a little bit
- 31:34Speaker 3: of aurora. You're staying right outside the stadium. You don't
- 31:36Speaker 3: think you could hear anything? Maybe I'm wrong.
- 31:38Speaker 2: I figure, I don't know.
- 31:40Speaker 4: You're telling me if the McKinnon.
- 31:42Speaker 3: Goal from the Blues series during the Cup run where
- 31:46Speaker 3: he goes coast to coast and scores, you couldn't hear
- 31:48Speaker 3: a not.
- 31:49Speaker 4: A titter outside? Nothing heard you heard me?
- 31:56Speaker 2: I don't know that you can hear from inside the arena.
- 31:59Speaker 2: I don't know that you can enter. You can't. I
- 32:00Speaker 2: don't know, but I do know that the people who
- 32:03Speaker 2: took advantage of that abs aally in base camp fifty
- 32:06Speaker 2: to eighty. It was pretty cool, man, because they got
- 32:09Speaker 2: a giant screen with the stage. They've got it looks killer,
- 32:13Speaker 2: they've got awesome you know, all kinds of you know,
- 32:15Speaker 2: things you can check out and drinks, and it was
- 32:17Speaker 2: really cool.
- 32:18Speaker 1: You want to know how to ruin something like that.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Play to night's game with a tip off at eight
- 32:23Speaker 1: thirty and at one gotel probably eight fifty by night.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness. I know we complain about this
- 32:29Speaker 1: a lot, but she's well.
- 32:31Speaker 3: I mean, once I get done with the show, I'm
- 32:32Speaker 3: gonna grab my kayak. I'm gonna go on the Pacific Ocean.
- 32:34Speaker 3: You guys know how close we are, by.
- 32:36Speaker 2: The way, what's the game on tonight? What? What? What
- 32:41Speaker 2: network is on?
- 32:43Speaker 4: Ryan?
- 32:44Speaker 1: Don't even know. I don't know what it's on tonight.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I mean, honest to god, don't know.
- 32:48Speaker 2: I've got a hunt.
- 32:49Speaker 4: This is on NBC.
- 32:53Speaker 6: Or the pcock NBC crap, Well I don't have NBC
- 32:58Speaker 6: right now. They're in a fight with my provider, isn't
- 33:04Speaker 6: it crazy?
- 33:04Speaker 1: Man? Well, then you've got the pecock, you know. No,
- 33:07Speaker 1: go wait I do, but yeah, if you have the pecock,
- 33:11Speaker 1: you can access NBC. If you don't have NBC because
- 33:14Speaker 1: of fights with Comcast or whatever, get yourself in antenna
- 33:18Speaker 1: if you don't have too.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Yeah, the antenna works, just to if you don't have that.
- 33:22Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you, man, this is ridiculous.
- 33:25Speaker 1: I don't know where to go anymore.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Reminder to you guys that the keyword for this hour
- 33:29Speaker 3: chance to get you in the arena tonight for game two,
- 33:31Speaker 3: the keyword is Menzel, like Johnny Manzel. So text that
- 33:36Speaker 3: in your first last name with three oh three five
- 33:37Speaker 3: four nine to two five back after this.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm gentmming. That's what I like to do, man,
- 33:43Speaker 2: jem Okay, that's not very good, is it.
- 33:50Speaker 3: I got a Bob Marley album, the Greatest Hits Back
- 33:51Speaker 3: of the House, yeap, legend, So listen. A lot to
- 33:58Speaker 3: discuss here. I do just want to spend Can I
- 34:02Speaker 3: have two minutes? Because I know this is an Abs
- 34:04Speaker 3: and Nuggets day, but just two minutes on the idea
- 34:06Speaker 3: that the Rockies could beat the Dodgers in a series
- 34:09Speaker 3: today so good.
- 34:11Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say.
- 34:12Speaker 1: But before you, you start your two minutes, and we'll
- 34:14Speaker 1: start the clock. Did you guys see the amount of
- 34:19Speaker 1: Dodger fans parading to Coors Field with their Dodger regalia,
- 34:24Speaker 1: chanting Dodger chance.
- 34:27Speaker 4: I think that happens every year.
- 34:29Speaker 1: No, no, no, this was like a different deal. I
- 34:31Speaker 1: don't know most have you ever been to a Premier
- 34:33Speaker 1: league soccer game? Like when all the Premier League fans
- 34:35Speaker 1: they marched to the stadium and they.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I have been to a Premier League.
- 34:39Speaker 1: This was happening at coors Field. For those who attended.
- 34:43Speaker 1: There were Dodger fans out of the woodwork who gathered
- 34:46Speaker 1: together and marched in place like there was some sort
- 34:50Speaker 1: of protest.
- 34:53Speaker 3: Well, they've left, uh disappointed two of the last three nights.
- 34:58Speaker 4: And here's what's so funny to me. On the way up, the.
- 35:00Speaker 3: Dodgers took Game one, The Rockies win Game two, I
- 35:03Speaker 3: think was four to three. Dalton, rushing the catcher for
- 35:08Speaker 3: the Dodgers after the game, said this.
- 35:11Speaker 9: I think it could have been a little bit of
- 35:12Speaker 9: both sides. I think they had a good game plan
- 35:14Speaker 9: as an imposing team, and maybe I pitched into their
- 35:17Speaker 9: game plan. As far as calling pitches, I'm not one
- 35:20Speaker 9: hundred percent sure. I just I think it's odd some
- 35:23Speaker 9: of those hitters do what they do. They go up there,
- 35:26Speaker 9: and they were on the first pitch that was thrown.
- 35:29Speaker 9: So it's a little it's fishy saying.
- 35:32Speaker 4: It's a little fishy.
- 35:33Speaker 3: I just love the idea that the Dodgers lost to
- 35:35Speaker 3: the Rockies and one of their players is like, the
- 35:37Speaker 3: only way they can do that is cheat. That's it.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Something fishy going on. By the way, Dave Roberts immediately said, no, called.
- 35:44Speaker 7: It a fishy last night, the way the Rockies were
- 35:46Speaker 7: on Will Klein stuff.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Did you see anything unusual that in it?
- 35:50Speaker 7: Or did just kind of look like they were sitting
- 35:51Speaker 7: soft against them?
- 35:53Speaker 4: I saw some bad breaking balls, so I don't think
- 35:58Speaker 4: there was anything fishy behind it. I think there were
- 36:00Speaker 4: some bad pitchers, So there you go.
- 36:02Speaker 1: But what does he mean by sitting soft against him?
- 36:05Speaker 1: What does that mean? Who rushed the guy? The reporter said,
- 36:10Speaker 1: or were they sitting soft against him? That's what he said.
- 36:14Speaker 1: That's the terminology.
- 36:15Speaker 3: I mean, I would assume that means sitting on a
- 36:17Speaker 3: breaking ball. That's okay, that's that's what I would assume
- 36:20Speaker 3: that means. But the funny thing about this is, so
- 36:25Speaker 3: the Rocks win. I don't know if you guys saw
- 36:26Speaker 3: the end of the game yesterday was it was a
- 36:28Speaker 3: little bit after the the Apps game wrapped up.
- 36:31Speaker 4: They're up like nine to four.
- 36:32Speaker 3: They have this big bases loaded, no out eighth inning
- 36:35Speaker 3: where they scratch across the things three or four more.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Well, they they scored three in the seventh to three
- 36:40Speaker 2: in the eighth, so they're up.
- 36:42Speaker 4: I think it was nine to four heading into the
- 36:44Speaker 4: ninth and ending.
- 36:44Speaker 3: Is correct, And then they the Dodgers just kept getting
- 36:48Speaker 3: on base, and then it was nine to six and
- 36:51Speaker 3: like the love of God, get out of this game
- 36:54Speaker 3: and Troy Johnson makes the diving catch and right to
- 36:56Speaker 3: close things out. So they have the chance they've already
- 36:58Speaker 3: split the series, at minimum, could win against the Dodgers.
- 37:01Speaker 3: And just to wrap this up, I think this is
- 37:03Speaker 3: just indicative of what the Rocky season is gonna be. Hey,
- 37:06Speaker 3: they're six and six, five hundred. Yeah, maybe they're kind
- 37:09Speaker 3: of fun. Then they lose six straight games, but now
- 37:11Speaker 3: they've won three or four again. I just think they're gonna,
- 37:13Speaker 3: as Mosua would say, porpoise for a lot of this year.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Listen, that was a little bit longer than two minutes.
- 37:18Speaker 2: And that's okay because they beat the Dodgers, and we
- 37:20Speaker 2: thank you.
- 37:21Speaker 4: That's all I want to eat the Dodgers.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Yeah, we hate the flipping Dodgers. Now that being said,
- 37:25Speaker 2: before we get into more meat and potatoes here right
- 37:27Speaker 2: at the top, you guys watch any other Stanley Cup playoffs.
- 37:31Speaker 2: I mean you were talking to Ruffalo last night.
- 37:33Speaker 1: That was dynamic. What they scored three and six minutes.
- 37:36Speaker 2: That's correct. Uh, while they were down to nothing and
- 37:38Speaker 2: they scored all four goals in the final what five
- 37:42Speaker 2: minutes of that game.
- 37:43Speaker 4: So I watched Montreal and Tampa yesterday. Great game.
- 37:49Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, moch I do want to spend
- 37:51Speaker 3: a second on this because, look, it's not over.
- 37:55Speaker 4: You gotta win three more games.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Here, but it's you're feeling good about the aps chances
- 38:00Speaker 3: against the Kings, right, and so we're all kind of like,
- 38:03Speaker 3: while we're watching this series, looking a little bit ahead, like,
- 38:06Speaker 3: oh god, You're gonna have to have that Dallas series
- 38:08Speaker 3: again to watch Minnesota blitz them in their own barn.
- 38:12Speaker 3: In Game one, they're at four to nothing, like what
- 38:16Speaker 3: six minutes into the second, You're just like, what the
- 38:19Speaker 3: hell is going on here?
- 38:20Speaker 2: Yeah? Vic? What does the Italian hockey coach say, Mom, hey, man,
- 38:27Speaker 2: that was h I don't look, I'm not gonna get mouthie.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Hey, be careful what you wish for. I'm I know
- 38:33Speaker 1: everybody wanted to stay away from Dallas, but Minnesota looks dangerous.
- 38:37Speaker 4: I'm just kind of narveling. Minnesota did that.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Minnesota's young swede goalie, it's pretty good.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:45Speaker 2: That being said, on the other side, their goalie was
- 38:49Speaker 2: not very good. The watch Autnger give up five on
- 38:53Speaker 2: twenty three shots, You're like, whoa, whoa, bro Wow, I
- 38:58Speaker 2: mean it was for nothing before before you knew it, right,
- 39:01Speaker 2: I mean, not even halfway through this second it's for nothing,
- 39:04Speaker 2: and you're going, whoa, this is not the way I
- 39:06Speaker 2: expected it. I listen. I think that's gonna be a
- 39:10Speaker 2: seven game series. I think it's going to be long
- 39:12Speaker 2: and ugly, and I hope it is. I mean, for
- 39:16Speaker 2: assuming the Abs can get by the Kings, and I
- 39:18Speaker 2: hope to God that that's the case. Man. You want
- 39:20Speaker 2: these two teams to be ugly with each other.
- 39:23Speaker 1: But I think the relative assumption is that, well, okay,
- 39:25Speaker 1: let's tire out Dallas. What if you get a very
- 39:29Speaker 1: confident Minnesota share.
- 39:32Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's fine.
- 39:34Speaker 2: And they've got Listen, Matt Boldi is a very good player.
- 39:37Speaker 1: That dude's like a magician. Since his run in the Olympics,
- 39:40Speaker 1: I've been watching him closely. He's really good.
- 39:44Speaker 2: He's a very good player, vic very good. I mean, look,
- 39:48Speaker 2: he's a you know, just a well he's American first
- 39:52Speaker 2: round clutch. Yeah, that's what he is. What he is
- 39:54Speaker 2: capriceof obviously is super dynamic. And they added some some
- 39:59Speaker 2: angst and anger that team. They got Follino's brother in right.
- 40:03Speaker 2: They traded for McCarron from Nashville, and he's a giant.
- 40:06Speaker 2: This guy is huge. Yeah, that being said, up the middle,
- 40:10Speaker 2: they are less than ideal. I mean, you look at
- 40:13Speaker 2: the Colorado Avalanche up the middle. They are as deep
- 40:15Speaker 2: as you will ever find in the history of the game.
- 40:17Speaker 3: I love Nick Wah's game too, by the way, I
- 40:19Speaker 3: thought he played great, played a good game.
- 40:21Speaker 2: You know, the silly turnover. Silly turnover that led to
- 40:25Speaker 2: a penalty. Yeah, you can't be making blind backhand passes
- 40:29Speaker 2: off the half parts in your own zone, right.
- 40:34Speaker 3: The funny thing is you look around both the NHL
- 40:38Speaker 3: and the NBA playoffs so far, Like vic, I didn't
- 40:41Speaker 3: expect the Lakers to go out and win Game one
- 40:44Speaker 3: against Houston.
- 40:45Speaker 1: That one was weird. First of all, the mysterious Durant
- 40:48Speaker 1: injury that came out of nowhere.
- 40:50Speaker 4: M M.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I was talking to. I was talking to an old
- 40:53Speaker 2: time hockey guy yesterday. He's like, what is with the
- 40:58Speaker 2: Durant situation? I sacked? You got me? He's like, he's
- 41:02Speaker 2: got a knee contusion. He's like, he this is my
- 41:06Speaker 2: old hockey thinking and times are different than they used
- 41:09Speaker 2: to be. But I can't even imagine not playing with
- 41:12Speaker 2: a quote contusion.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Crazy to me, Well, they gave up a game?
- 41:16Speaker 2: What and if the Lakers?
- 41:18Speaker 1: Here's here's all I want. Because Oklahoma City is going
- 41:21Speaker 1: to waltz to the Western Conference finals. At least give
- 41:25Speaker 1: Okase a scare game push something, because they may have
- 41:31Speaker 1: the easiest path to the conference finals in the history
- 41:35Speaker 1: of the Western Conference playoffs.
- 41:37Speaker 4: They've earned it. But I can't understand your point.
- 41:40Speaker 1: But it is so easy, Houston. You could see why, guys,
- 41:44Speaker 1: I've been pleading. Well, it is what it is now.
- 41:47Speaker 1: I always wanted the Nuggets to play the Rockets in
- 41:49Speaker 1: the first round. You could see why now right that
- 41:51Speaker 1: team can't shoot. They're not good, especially if Kd's heard.
- 41:56Speaker 1: I know, but even when Katie's healthy, it's all they
- 41:58Speaker 1: have they have. No, they're not very good. Well, they're
- 42:03Speaker 1: just overrated.
- 42:04Speaker 3: They got thrown out of whack when Van Vliek got hurt.
- 42:07Speaker 3: Was it before the season or really early in the
- 42:09Speaker 3: season the Sea Then they don't have Steven Adams anymore.
- 42:12Speaker 3: It's I can help the shooting category, but decent player can.
- 42:15Speaker 1: I give you a tip of the cap.
- 42:17Speaker 2: But how do you how do you you got a
- 42:20Speaker 2: bruise knee? Yeh? Play against the Lakers. I mean, what
- 42:24Speaker 2: are we doing?
- 42:25Speaker 1: Hey? Tip of the cap to what was? I don't
- 42:30Speaker 1: know if you will see that. Many sports fans in Denver,
- 42:34Speaker 1: Colorado show out for different occasions in different games. Here's
- 42:39Speaker 1: let me recap. Let me recap the sports weekend. All right,
- 42:44Speaker 1: this is just two days. You got a near sellout
- 42:47Speaker 1: at Mile High Stadium, seventy five thousand people to watch
- 42:52Speaker 1: Lionel Messi do his thing. And granted the Rapids lost,
- 42:55Speaker 1: that sucks. They came back, tied it to a piece
- 42:57Speaker 1: of game. Yeah, and Messi put together one of the
- 43:00Speaker 1: greatest that goal he had to put it, make it
- 43:03Speaker 1: three to two. I don't know if you guys saw
- 43:05Speaker 1: the goal. Phenomenal, greatest player in the world stuff, I know.
- 43:08Speaker 1: But he like, you know, for a guy who soon
- 43:10Speaker 1: to be thirty nine, the way he can mask a
- 43:12Speaker 1: goal and just mask the ball so that not even
- 43:14Speaker 1: the goalie can see it, just phenomenal. They got their
- 43:17Speaker 1: money's worth, in my line. Then you got Ball Arena
- 43:21Speaker 1: one hundred and sixtieth straight sellout for the Nuggets, sellout obviously.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Then you've got two games at Coors Field over the
- 43:29Speaker 1: weekend that the Rockies won. They took two out of three,
- 43:33Speaker 1: the first team in Major League Baseball with a sellout,
- 43:37Speaker 1: by the way to win consecutive games against the Dodgers.
- 43:41Speaker 1: And then you've got the sellout as usual at Ball
- 43:44Speaker 1: for the Avs. Sellouts everywhere. Yeah, fans everywhere, sports everywhere.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Denver is the sports center of the world, right now.
- 43:55Speaker 3: One last thing before you get out of here. You
- 43:56Speaker 3: get back to breaking down the aves and nuggets from
- 43:58Speaker 3: over the weekend. Did you guys see this morning from
- 44:01Speaker 3: Schefter that looks like the AJ Brown stuff might finally
- 44:04Speaker 3: be coming to a close. That he is called a
- 44:06Speaker 3: trade to New England is now considered likely about AJ Brown.
- 44:10Speaker 3: So the team you face the NFC Championship Game gonna
- 44:13Speaker 3: get a good player. I have no problem with him
- 44:15Speaker 3: not being on my roster, though.
- 44:17Speaker 1: You can keep the brain damage over where you.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Are, because when you get a player like that, well,
- 44:24Speaker 2: he just seemed really discontent. Yeah, in in Philly
- 44:28Speaker 3: For god knows what reason, despite winning Super Bowls anyway,
- 44:32Speaker 3: three h three five four nine two five back after
- 44:35Speaker 3: this
