1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,360
You're listening to this speakeasy fueled by
Java John's, the official coffee of ninety
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,519
seven one The Freak. Yes,
we appreciate you being with us, Jeff,
3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:11,439
Kat, Julie and Matt. We
are to speak easy on ninety seven
4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,320
one The Freak, and there's no
time to fiddle far around. It's game
5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:26,679
seven times. Step into the zin
bend of Julie Dobbs Zinn good only.
6
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,799
Thank you, Thank you, everybody, thank you, thank you. Over
7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,359
there, You're welcome back left.
I so appreciate you coming out tonight,
8
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,439
trying to pretend like Taylor Swift would
do a segment how she feels on stage
9
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:51,320
anyways. Um yeah, game seven
tonight. So there was a possibility that
10
00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:57,079
we were going to come in here
today and just spend the show celebrating our
11
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:02,880
trip to the Western Conference final that
was upcoming, because there was a chance
12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,280
that the Dollars Stars could go into
Seattle on Saturday night and shut up the
13
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,239
crack and shut down those fans,
take their little fish and throw them back
14
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:18,280
where they came from in the ocean. Myth creature. No, but they
15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640
throw fish, yeah, like the
three stars of the game. Yeah.
16
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,239
After I wonder if They even call
them the three Stars, the three cracks
17
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:34,760
of the game. It's a but
they all had fish and they threw them
18
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,920
into the stands. It's a Seattle
play. It's a tradition at Pike's Place
19
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Market they throw fish, and amazingly, I've never seen anyone drop one because
20
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,319
it feels like a slippery thing to
catch. Well, because the ones that
21
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,680
catch it are the ones that you
see, because those ones go on social
22
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,560
media because someone's like, look what
I did at the market when I caught
23
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,799
the fish and I met Mike Lesley
dropped sixteen of them. It's a tourist
24
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,840
thing. How many news reporters stand
ups have been done there? I'm trying
25
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:05,480
to catch the fish Pike's Places.
So anyway, they had a chance to
26
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,560
just kind of end this thing and
then come back to Dallas and relax a
27
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,240
little bit, wait to see who
we're going to play, have a little
28
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,599
break, but that didn't happen.
We do know that the opponent for whoever
29
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,639
wins tonight is going to be Las
Vegas. The Golden Nights eliminated Edmonton last
30
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:29,520
night and they are moving on to
the Western Conference Final. So that also
31
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,639
means I mean it's not going to
be the cracking because the Stars are gonna
32
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,479
win. But if it was the
crack, and we'd have expansion versus expansion
33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,120
and the Western Conference Final, pretty
good expansion draft. Theres these teams right
34
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,240
the way it's working out. Yeah, it's like you have a bunch of
35
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,280
guys that are not your top tier
superstar players, but that are very good
36
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,039
and serviceable. Then they all end
up on a team together, and that
37
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,960
apparently is winning hockey. I'm stupid
and slow to just be putting that together
38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,520
because when you watch them play,
like they don't appear to have a guy
39
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:07,080
that is I would say Jason Robertson, but that's not the case. Yeah,
40
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,159
but like they don't, they don't
have a guy that you're like,
41
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,879
whoa, But they really whatever line
is out there, you're like, they're
42
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,360
all they're good, Like they're almost
all evenly matched, and so that's hard
43
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,319
to play against. Um. So
it was a bad six three loss on
44
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,400
Saturday night. I don't I wish. I don't know why. It's like,
45
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:28,960
when we lose, we gotta lose
bad. When we win, we
46
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,360
gotta win big tonight. Right,
Uh, So the Dallas Stars have been
47
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800
really good after a loss. And
more on that in a second, because
48
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080
I do have seven storylines ahead of
this Game seven. We're gonna spin a
49
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,960
wheel to decide which one I'm going
to play. I think Mike Ryner's gonna
50
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,240
tell me which one I am going
to discuss. But I did have a
51
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,960
Pete Dubor quote um from after that
game. I mean, he just always
52
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,719
says the right things. He does. He makes me feel better about about
53
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,360
ass and all of that. He's
the epitome of doesn't get too high after
54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,319
a win or get too low after
a loss, which, if you're into
55
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,479
hockey cliches, is what they say
all season long, but especially in the
56
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,680
playoffs that really matters. He said, it's a tough time of the year
57
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,079
to be at any team. Three
games in a row. We won Game
58
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:18,519
four and one game five. That's
a big ask. The reason you play
59
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,519
all season is to have home ice
for a Game seven like this. We've
60
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,600
earned that right and hopefully we'll use
that to our benefit, but we haven't
61
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:31,360
earned that in the next series if
we make it correct. Home ice not
62
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,160
right. Not from what I understand, They're gonna have home ice. Actually,
63
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:40,480
yes, for sure, they're for
sure going to have home ice,
64
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,879
so I believe if we play Vegas
or I don't want to start saying that.
65
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,519
Right when we play Vegas, I'll
do it. Don't worry about Okay,
66
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Jeff did it. Yeah, We'll
start off on the road. That's
67
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240
fine. I'm not gonna We're gonna
start off on the road. And I
68
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:56,160
don't think I mean, don't like
quote me on this television networks or whoever,
69
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,639
but I don't think we're going to
start until Friday. That's what I
70
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,160
was told. So we will get
you that you've got your stars. I
71
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:05,519
also told that last Friday. Look
at you. Yeah, I got a
72
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:10,759
problem with the cracking. Oh okay, it's a new problem, all right,
73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,279
But I've never realized before they look
like awkwad fresh toothpaste. No,
74
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:17,079
they're the only team. I think
their unis are great. Uh, they're
75
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,920
the only team in hockey that in
the standings or a box score, it
76
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:28,000
says the whole name really like it
says stars and then it says Seattle cracking.
77
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,600
Interesting And if you look up to
standings, Golden Knights has two words,
78
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,160
but it's their team name. Everybody
else just has their actual team name,
79
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,680
not the city and they get Seattle
cracking. Yeah, maybe there's some
80
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,040
like unwritten rule for expansion teams.
It's like, every time you say our
81
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,920
name, you must say our full
name, full name for five years.
82
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:47,480
It's time to learn us. It's
time to treat the new guy like they
83
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,879
treated me in fifth grade. Let's
get to bullying tonight. Yeah. Let's
84
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:55,680
push them around, dude, Let's
push them around. And there s on
85
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360
their jersey that looks like the S
that you learned how to draw in fourth
86
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,439
grade with the three lines three lines
and then the three lines are underneath it
87
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,639
and you connect the little lines.
Any seven year old can draw that s
88
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:09,199
all right? Oh like what you're
doing? Okay, So I'm gonna calm
89
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:13,639
down, so feisty. All the
S is a tentacle. I'd never noticed
90
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,800
that before. It's actually pretty chicky. Don't start talking nice out their.
91
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,759
Everley is just a good player,
and like Everley. You like Everley.
92
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,839
He's good. Did you see when
he was trying to protect the puck the
93
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,680
other night and he cradled it like
on top of it, and the announcer
94
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:32,279
was like, hey, is not
letting go. That was funny. So
95
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,519
tonight's game just a quick PSA.
It is, like Kevin said earlier,
96
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,439
it is green. It's a green
out tonight, So where you're green the
97
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:46,279
Dallas Stars Actually, uh, just
put this quote out on Twitter, Jeff,
98
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,160
you'll appreciate it. It's a quote
from Ron Weasley, not blackout,
99
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:53,439
not retro green ocause Ron Weasley said
that. I know he didn't really say
100
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,160
that, but maybe that makes sense
to you. Maybe the stupidest answer I've
101
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,480
ever given green, not black out, not retro green. Did Ron Weasley
102
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,279
like Green? I don't know what
Weasley quote that. Harry Potter, No,
103
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,759
that's Harry Potter. I don't know. Ron was fine. He's my
104
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:15,319
weast character social media person. Maybe
maybe not everybody understands, but yeah,
105
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:19,160
this could be a Harry Potter deep
cut. It must be. Maybe we'll
106
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:24,000
have them on someday, one of
those fantasy nerds running your hockey team account.
107
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:28,199
Huh oh, I support that obviously. Guess all right, Google Search
108
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:30,480
doesn't tie these things together in any
way, shape or form. That's funny,
109
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,319
Okay, it's bust. It's a
man of my next Ron Weasley Green.
110
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:40,839
I think we're ready for I see
the wheel seven up on our screen.
111
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:44,480
Story lines ahead of tonight's Game seven, we have a green wheel.
112
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:47,680
It is in studio with us.
It's actually a love it different shades of
113
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,000
green actually wins a little bit more
mustardy. But let's go ahead and spend
114
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,600
the wheel. Oh, come on, hey, come on now stop.
115
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:09,600
We got what we got where?
All right? Mike Reiner, We have
116
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,759
a really cool wheel that also includes
the voice of Mike Reiner. Number two
117
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,759
storyline of the day. And these
are no particular order, because I would
118
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,800
actually say this could be number one. If you're looking at order of importance.
119
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Jake Ottinger, if you've been following
along, got screwed? Have you've
120
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,639
been following along this season? You
know that Jake Ottinger is very good following
121
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,919
a loss. In fact, the
record right now is twenty two one and
122
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,799
three this season, what including four
and oh in the playoffs after a loss.
123
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,840
Um he has looked in the losses. He doesn't look good. Um,
124
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:52,320
I think the amateur hockey Jeff coming
at you right now. Yeah.
125
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,720
I think Harley's got a little something. Yeah, I think Mirro's great.
126
00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:01,480
I think as a whole, the
defenseman don't do a great job of making
127
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Otter's job easy. Stay tuned for
storyline number six. Okay, but yeah,
128
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,399
I mean, you can help your
goaltender a lot by playing good defense.
129
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,480
You can also make it a lot
harder on your goaltender. But the
130
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,559
key is having a goaltender that can
make most of the sames regardless, and
131
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:26,600
Jake usually is that. And I
don't think he's been that this series.
132
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,360
But when he's good, he's really
good, and so that's all we need
133
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,840
tonight. It's like, let's just
have one of those really good games tonight
134
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,799
and then like take a minute re
rack if something's ailing you. Maybe that
135
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,279
will heal up. I don't know, but just just reset. These these
136
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,759
playoff series is are brutal. We
know that, and maybe he's not feeling
137
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:54,679
one hundred percent. But there's a
kind of deep analytics graphic here that I
138
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,440
saw that I liked. So it's
comparing Jake Ottinger's numbers in his way to
139
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,480
his losses. So in the playoffs, he has seven wins, he has
140
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:09,480
four losses. His goals against average
in the wins one point eight six,
141
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:15,000
his goals against average in the losses
three point nine zero. Well, it's
142
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,440
not good. His save percentage in
the win point nine thirty one in losses
143
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:24,080
point eight seventy two. Um.
And this is also interesting. So the
144
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,399
support that he's given, the run
support, if you will, by his
145
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,960
teammates. In wins, the Dallas
Stars have scored four point seven one goals
146
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,960
a game. In the losses that
Jay Gauder's losses, the Stars have scored
147
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,799
two point seven five goals a game. Five and three there, Yeah,
148
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,600
five and three, Okay. Obviously
the goals are gonna help you win.
149
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,360
So it's whatever, but it's it's
it's just interesting. The losses have been
150
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,720
have been real. I don't know
if I want to say real bad that
151
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,240
sounds harsh, but the losses have
been bad. He got yank. He
152
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,960
got yanked on was early on Saturday. To Yankee. Personally, I thought
153
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,799
that was odd, and I know
Pete did the interview during the game and
154
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,840
said I was just trying to wake
everyone up, but I was like,
155
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,320
Okay, sorry, it's all yours
wedge because you're, you know, at
156
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,759
that point, you're not that yank
a goaltender. That's also a lot of
157
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,159
times that's why you see them shuffle
the lines around. Was kind of to
158
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,960
like wake everybody up. But I
thought it was early. Also, it's
159
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,679
the baseball manager getting thrown out of
a game on purpose. Yeah, just
160
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,039
trying to wake people up, right, Like I'm just gonna go cause a
161
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,279
ruckus and get that bullpen to wake
up our sorry dugout um. So yeah,
162
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,759
that that's can be one of the
reasons. Also, you heard him
163
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,279
say, I think he said we
were kind of like trying to not look
164
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,080
ahead to Game seven, but he
had Game seven in mind, like when
165
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120
he saw the way that that one
was going. Also, you hope that
166
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:54,200
Scott Wedgwood can come in and play
really well, and he did. He
167
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,399
played pretty well. But I was
a little surprised by that too, because
168
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,799
for a young goaltender. Granted,
Jake's you know, he's been our starter
169
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,960
all year long or for two seasons
now, and he has a little bit
170
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,240
of playoff experience, but he is
a young goaltender. He's a young person,
171
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:13,120
and that kind of thing can rattle
you and shake your confidence. But
172
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,879
if you look at these numbers when
he is in a bad way, it
173
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,120
usually doesn't go well. If you
can tell that, like he's having one
174
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,960
of those nights or something's bothering him, like maybe that's what he saw and
175
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:26,639
so you just pull him and see, you know what you can get from
176
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:30,240
Wedgwood. And then if not he's
rested at least for game seven, go
177
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,399
full bell for tonight, let's go
what oh yeah, yeah, well,
178
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,519
or you could go Ottinger, right, go Ottinger, like do what you
179
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,480
did last year against Calgary in the
playoffs that game seven. It took a
180
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,559
couple overtimes for Calgary to finally get
rid of the Stars. But Jake Ottinger
181
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:52,039
was amazing. And I think,
Kevin, if you look closely tonight,
182
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,159
you might see a goaltender stand on
his head. Oh, come on,
183
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,440
you just might. It's just such. So I just hope they have a
184
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440
little like cushion for his head or
something, because that, you're right,
185
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,600
that is dangerous. It would be
very difficult upside down. All the blood
186
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:11,200
rushes to your head all of a
sudden, you can't speak very well.
187
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,919
Yeah. So hopefully the team plays
well in front of him and he won't
188
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,000
have to. But I think if
that's what it comes down to, he
189
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:20,440
just might pull out a pillow and
do a headstand for the whole entire game.
190
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,320
If the crack and score three or
less, they're dead. Yes,
191
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:28,240
that's what we need, yes,
twenty two, one and three this season
192
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,960
after a lost four too in the
playoffs. That's Jake Ottens, you're that's
193
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,279
storyline number two. What do we
have next, mister wheel spet ok,
194
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:50,720
I guess number five? Scroll scroll
All right, let's talk about the elephant
195
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:56,559
in the room. Robertson. Yeah, okay, I have a Robertson observation.
196
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,879
What's your Robertson observation? My thing
about talking about sportation, my ro
197
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,840
observation. I enjoy talking about sports
that I'm not like an expert in because
198
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,519
I just watch it and fake stuff
and then I'd say the stuff I think,
199
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,639
and then Julie can tell me if
I'm right or wrong. Yeah,
200
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,480
in Game six, I'm watching it
and at times, like I get it,
201
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,000
the hockey puck doesn't always stay flat
on the ground. It rolls around,
202
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,120
and it flips around, it does
all these little moves. But I
203
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,879
just felt like there was a bunch
of times when Jason Robertson could have made
204
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:30,879
a play, and I'm like one
of the leading scores and hockey makes that
205
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,559
play. What is happening? Like
It's like, whoop, it flipped over
206
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,039
my stick or whoops, didn't get
that right, And I'm just like,
207
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,440
are you Are we in our head
here? So I would say yes,
208
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,799
I would say you're absolutely right on
with that observation. I think there's something
209
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,039
going on mentally a little bit.
But I also think it just seems like
210
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,000
he is playing a little slower.
Oh no, then some of the other
211
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:56,279
players. There was a point I
think when in the last game Rope Hints
212
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,679
just totally outscated him and was looking
for someone in Robertson Rope fast. But
213
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,960
like Rope and Robertson have played together
all season long, they should know.
214
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,639
Robertson knows he's got to get on
it, get on the horse. If
215
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:09,879
you see Rope with the puck,
you get up there right there with him.
216
00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:13,200
You support him, and you you
you should be there because something's going
217
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,480
to happen. If Rope has a
puck and he's on your line, he's
218
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,039
your teammate. So there were a
little there were instances where where Robertson was
219
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,399
just kind of too slow. Um, and that's not good. He's playing
220
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,440
a little slower. Playoff games are
generally faster games than regular season games.
221
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:33,960
We've talked about how they're more physical
brand of game in the playoff, and
222
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,480
that's not necessarily something that plays to
his strength. I think he's doing okay
223
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,360
with that aspect of it, but
it just kind of seems like he can't
224
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:45,759
keep up sometimes. Um, it's
not good. He had a gas.
225
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Is tonight be his ninety fifth game
of the year. Yeah, I mean
226
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
there's he never played ninety five games
in a year before. There's something to
227
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:56,559
be said for that. It's a
long season and here you are in games
228
00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:02,559
seven of your second round. You
know you're another extra thirteen games or something.
229
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:07,440
Or you're also super young. You're
super young. This observation I actually
230
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,720
had. I'm gonna quate this to
the Cheetahs soccer game, which is the
231
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:18,519
seven year old soccer game that I
watched on Saturday, because I since I'm
232
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:21,799
watching so much hockey, I'm watching
soccer now and like talking to myself about
233
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:25,360
how it relates to hockey because now
of the moms very frustrating sports. Yeah,
234
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:27,799
and so like there was a kid
who, uh, he is really
235
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,039
good, and he's really good with
controlling the ball, and he's really good
236
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,519
with the little like his his foot
skills or whatever you call it in soccer.
237
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,480
Like he makes a lot of plays. He's he's called dribbling. No,
238
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,279
but like you know, if you
can Finesse moves, yeah, I
239
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,639
guess Finesse moves a point guard time. Yeah. Yeah, Well like whatever,
240
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:49,960
he does, little tricks vision,
he has little tricks with his feet.
241
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:55,840
Good skill, he's skilled. He's
very skilled. Um, and so
242
00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:57,639
he was kind he had the ball
and this was a big this was a
243
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,879
big game for the Cheetahs like this, this was a big point, Like
244
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,839
we needed a goal and this kid
has the ball and he's like just waiting,
245
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:07,279
waiting, waiting, waiting. He's
trying to get in the right position.
246
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,440
He's trying to make sure that there's
no one right on top of him,
247
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:12,359
and he's going outside, outside,
outside, and now all of a
248
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,200
sudden, you lost your shot.
Yeah, And so he shoots it and
249
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,319
it just goes into the side of
the net. That's kind of what Jason
250
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,599
Robertson's been doing. Oh, he's
shame at the front. It's kind of
251
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,960
what Jason Robertson's been doing. When
you're holding onto the puck for too long,
252
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,599
and you're holding onto the puck for
too long, you're trying to make
253
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,160
the perfect play in hockey. You'll
hear him say trying to be too cute
254
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,240
a lot of times, and we're
seeing that a little bit from Jason robertson.
255
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,599
Just shoot it, just shoot it, just make something happen. And
256
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,440
that lends me to another one of
the storylines. Things happen in front of
257
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:53,079
the net for both of these teams. So let's spend the wheel story line
258
00:17:53,440 --> 00:18:04,880
game seven. The third storyline for
tonight's game seven, between the Dallas Stars
259
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:11,319
and the Seattle kurakin Um, we
have, like I mentioned, the battle
260
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,599
in front of the net um,
so we've seen most of the offense for
261
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,400
both of these teams come from right
in front of the net. It's all
262
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,000
tips as well. He is really
good at that. But when it comes
263
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:36,599
to looking at Seattle and the evil
groups, Grubauer, he's the evil groups
264
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,759
um. So in game five,
when the Stars had a very well played
265
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,000
game, a dominant win in game
five, they had success in front of
266
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,599
the net, net fronts success,
if you will. And this is a
267
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,319
stat that I saw that I liked. Eleven of their fifteen goals versus Grubauer,
268
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:59,079
we're off of screens, deflections,
or rebounds. That's that dirty greasy,
269
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:07,200
chip away at it kind of goal. He let's see his playoffs save
270
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:15,559
percentage um when it comes to shots
including screens, deflections, or rebounds eight
271
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,440
thirty two, thirteenth out of nineteen
qualified goalies in the playoffs, thirteenth when
272
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,319
there's something in front of him,
right, Like, that's when he's not
273
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,400
good. Obviously, if you can
get in front of his eyes, that's
274
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,160
perfect, if you set a screen
that kind of thing, but basically making
275
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,359
it messy in front of the net, he's not good at that goal.
276
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,279
Yes, in the last game was
so awesome. That's why fake evil grooves
277
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:41,920
just like stood all the way up
because it's like this thing's going over the
278
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,519
net and just like, dude,
yes, that's why Pavelski sets up camp
279
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,839
in front of the net, and
a lot of these guys do without a
280
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:56,319
screen, deflection or a rebound.
His save percentage ninety eight, first of
281
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,519
all of the remaining goaltenders in the
playoffs. So he's really good if he
282
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:03,480
can see the puck so ugly it
up in front of evil groups. Let's
283
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,200
get evil in front of evil groups. The Dallas Stars kind of the same
284
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,880
way. I would say that is
also the way to attack Jake Ottinger.
285
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,680
So it's something we need to play
better defense against. Right, don't let
286
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,200
them get into that area. Score
the first goal, score the first goal,
287
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,200
but don't let them score twenty seconds
later. The wheel real quick.
288
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:37,319
Oh that might be on there,
wheels on couldn't die all right, This
289
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,079
one's kind of simple. It's game
seven. You have home ice advantage.
290
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,119
This is what you work so hard
for all season long. You want home
291
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,119
ice advantage, and now you have
it in a game seven in the playoffs.
292
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,960
I think there's a lot more value
for home ice in games seven than
293
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,640
there is in home for home ice
in games one and two. Right,
294
00:21:02,519 --> 00:21:06,680
if you look at the playoffs this
season and most seasons, if you have
295
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:10,599
a situation where there's two games on
someone's home ice, it's usually a split.
296
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:12,119
Most of the time, is it. Most of the time has been
297
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,599
in the playoffs this season? In
the NHL Game seven, you can feel
298
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,839
it. It matters. You want
your fans to elevate you to a win.
299
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,680
And like I read in that Pete
Debor quote at the beginning of this
300
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:26,319
segment, this is what you work
for. This is what all the blood,
301
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,400
sweat and tears is for. It's
four game seven. You have home
302
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,720
ice. You want to be the
one to make the team your opponent feel
303
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:41,160
off everything we talk about. Make
them with stand your attack, make them
304
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,119
on the play on their heels.
Use the home ice tier advantage. You've
305
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,960
worked hard for it, You've earned
it. The top players need to be
306
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:53,079
the top players tonight. Not to
be cliche e coachy, but we need
307
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:56,839
more from Tyler, We need more
from Jamie, We need a little bit
308
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:00,359
more from Ottinger. We need a
lot more from Robertson. You know what
309
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,000
if two of those four activate tonight
seriously and do well, that would be
310
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,480
great. I hope fans are able
to get there by seven. It's hard
311
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:15,480
to get anywhere and way traffic works
in this town. I hope there leave
312
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:19,759
early from work if you can,
obviously quick but yeah, this is this
313
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:25,240
is like a big like green out. Make it uncomfortable, make it incredible,
314
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,960
yep, make it incredible, um
quickly. My last one I kind
315
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
of referenced Pete de Boor. He's
one of them. He's one of the
316
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
storylines. Guys. He's six and
no as a head coach all time.
317
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:40,559
In game seven, let's he's been
waiting. He gets secrets and no the
318
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,319
longest streak of game seven wins among
head coaches. Um, he's his quote.
319
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,519
Those are lifetime experiences when you get
to play in game sevens, especially
320
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:52,079
in front of your home crowd,
the opportunity to really make a statement and
321
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,559
move us on to the next round. I'm excited. I think our group's
322
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:56,319
excited. Hopefully the Dallas Stars fans
are excited. Oh. By the way,
323
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,000
if he wins, he gets to
play his former team and the next
324
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,519
strap. That's cool. He's pumped
up. This team's gonna want to win
325
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:06,079
it for him. Tell me if
this would work. Yeah, okay,
326
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,319
it's game seven. Y tend break
out all the tricks. You win the
327
00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:12,640
opening face off, You drop the
puck back to Ottinger, who leads the
328
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:18,880
break. Okay, this is a
play that you save season. Game starts
329
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,039
coming down the ice. Okay,
he stopped. He goes by the Stars
330
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,160
bench, swaps out the gold stick
for a regular stick. He's got all
331
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,079
that equipment on. He hands it
off to Miro. He leads the way.
332
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:33,480
He's got all that body armor on. Just follow him in. That
333
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:37,000
would be interesting, That would make
Sports Center. But I don't think we
334
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:44,599
need to do that him, stick
with the game plan, protect Jake Ottinger,
335
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,240
don't put him out on center ice. Um. And and lastly,
336
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:52,839
like Jeff, you mentioned better defense. We need better defense tonight. The
337
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Lindell and Hawk and Pop Harrying was
particularly bad. Um Lindell, who is
338
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,480
a good defenseman. He is a
core part of this core decore if you
339
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:07,559
will very soon trying to do a
little core onwards there. Yeah, he's
340
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,359
a core part of the core.
Um. But he had a bad game.
341
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:14,680
He was on the ice for five
of Seattle's six goals Game six.
342
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:18,599
He said, I mean everything went
sideways today. I don't know if I've
343
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,000
played that bad for a long time. I just felt they got odd Man's
344
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:23,960
won battles, all the things we've
been good at before went sideways today.
345
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Hey, throw it out, put
it in the trash. It's gone.
346
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,400
It's in the dumpster in Seattle.
Actually, that's where that game is.
347
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,319
It's a fresh sheet of ice tonight. It's a fresh game. It's Game
348
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,759
seven, it is. That was
Julie Dobbs her seven storylines for Game seven.
349
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:45,519
We'll do our goal picks next.
Plus we'll listen to your talkbacks and
350
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:47,880
mix with the Bninskan show right here, ninety seven one, the Freak
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,360
You're listening to this speakeasy fueled by
Java John's, the official coffee of ninety
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,519
seven one The Freak. Yes,
we appreciate you being with us, Jeff,
3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:11,439
Kat, Julie and Matt. We
are to speak easy on ninety seven
4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,320
one The Freak, and there's no
time to fiddle far around. It's game
5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:26,679
seven times. Step into the zin
bend of Julie Dobbs Zinn good only.
6
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,799
Thank you, Thank you, everybody, thank you, thank you. Over
7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,359
there, You're welcome back left.
I so appreciate you coming out tonight,
8
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,439
trying to pretend like Taylor Swift would
do a segment how she feels on stage
9
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:51,320
anyways. Um yeah, game seven
tonight. So there was a possibility that
10
00:00:51,359 --> 00:00:57,079
we were going to come in here
today and just spend the show celebrating our
11
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:02,880
trip to the Western Conference final that
was upcoming, because there was a chance
12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,280
that the Dollars Stars could go into
Seattle on Saturday night and shut up the
13
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,239
crack and shut down those fans,
take their little fish and throw them back
14
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:18,280
where they came from in the ocean. Myth creature. No, but they
15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640
throw fish, yeah, like the
three stars of the game. Yeah.
16
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,239
After I wonder if They even call
them the three Stars, the three cracks
17
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:34,760
of the game. It's a but
they all had fish and they threw them
18
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,920
into the stands. It's a Seattle
play. It's a tradition at Pike's Place
19
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,920
Market they throw fish, and amazingly, I've never seen anyone drop one because
20
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,319
it feels like a slippery thing to
catch. Well, because the ones that
21
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,680
catch it are the ones that you
see, because those ones go on social
22
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,560
media because someone's like, look what
I did at the market when I caught
23
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,799
the fish and I met Mike Lesley
dropped sixteen of them. It's a tourist
24
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,840
thing. How many news reporters stand
ups have been done there? I'm trying
25
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:05,480
to catch the fish Pike's Places.
So anyway, they had a chance to
26
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,560
just kind of end this thing and
then come back to Dallas and relax a
27
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,240
little bit, wait to see who
we're going to play, have a little
28
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,599
break, but that didn't happen.
We do know that the opponent for whoever
29
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:23,639
wins tonight is going to be Las
Vegas. The Golden Nights eliminated Edmonton last
30
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:29,520
night and they are moving on to
the Western Conference Final. So that also
31
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,639
means I mean it's not going to
be the cracking because the Stars are gonna
32
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,479
win. But if it was the
crack, and we'd have expansion versus expansion
33
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,120
and the Western Conference Final, pretty
good expansion draft. Theres these teams right
34
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,240
the way it's working out. Yeah, it's like you have a bunch of
35
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,280
guys that are not your top tier
superstar players, but that are very good
36
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,039
and serviceable. Then they all end
up on a team together, and that
37
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,960
apparently is winning hockey. I'm stupid
and slow to just be putting that together
38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,520
because when you watch them play,
like they don't appear to have a guy
39
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:07,080
that is I would say Jason Robertson, but that's not the case. Yeah,
40
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,159
but like they don't, they don't
have a guy that you're like,
41
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,879
whoa, But they really whatever line
is out there, you're like, they're
42
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,360
all they're good, Like they're almost
all evenly matched, and so that's hard
43
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:22,319
to play against. Um. So
it was a bad six three loss on
44
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,400
Saturday night. I don't I wish. I don't know why. It's like,
45
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:28,960
when we lose, we gotta lose
bad. When we win, we
46
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:35,360
gotta win big tonight. Right,
Uh, So the Dallas Stars have been
47
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800
really good after a loss. And
more on that in a second, because
48
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080
I do have seven storylines ahead of
this Game seven. We're gonna spin a
49
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,960
wheel to decide which one I'm going
to play. I think Mike Ryner's gonna
50
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,240
tell me which one I am going
to discuss. But I did have a
51
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,960
Pete Dubor quote um from after that
game. I mean, he just always
52
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,719
says the right things. He does. He makes me feel better about about
53
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,360
ass and all of that. He's
the epitome of doesn't get too high after
54
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,319
a win or get too low after
a loss, which, if you're into
55
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:10,479
hockey cliches, is what they say
all season long, but especially in the
56
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,680
playoffs that really matters. He said, it's a tough time of the year
57
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,079
to be at any team. Three
games in a row. We won Game
58
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:18,519
four and one game five. That's
a big ask. The reason you play
59
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,519
all season is to have home ice
for a Game seven like this. We've
60
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,600
earned that right and hopefully we'll use
that to our benefit, but we haven't
61
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:31,360
earned that in the next series if
we make it correct. Home ice not
62
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,160
right. Not from what I understand, They're gonna have home ice. Actually,
63
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:40,480
yes, for sure, they're for
sure going to have home ice,
64
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,879
so I believe if we play Vegas
or I don't want to start saying that.
65
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,519
Right when we play Vegas, I'll
do it. Don't worry about Okay,
66
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Jeff did it. Yeah, We'll
start off on the road. That's
67
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240
fine. I'm not gonna We're gonna
start off on the road. And I
68
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:56,160
don't think I mean, don't like
quote me on this television networks or whoever,
69
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,639
but I don't think we're going to
start until Friday. That's what I
70
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,160
was told. So we will get
you that you've got your stars. I
71
00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:05,519
also told that last Friday. Look
at you. Yeah, I got a
72
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:10,759
problem with the cracking. Oh okay, it's a new problem, all right,
73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,279
But I've never realized before they look
like awkwad fresh toothpaste. No,
74
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:17,079
they're the only team. I think
their unis are great. Uh, they're
75
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,920
the only team in hockey that in
the standings or a box score, it
76
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:28,000
says the whole name really like it
says stars and then it says Seattle cracking.
77
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,600
Interesting And if you look up to
standings, Golden Knights has two words,
78
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,160
but it's their team name. Everybody
else just has their actual team name,
79
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,680
not the city and they get Seattle
cracking. Yeah, maybe there's some
80
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:43,040
like unwritten rule for expansion teams.
It's like, every time you say our
81
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,920
name, you must say our full
name, full name for five years.
82
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:47,480
It's time to learn us. It's
time to treat the new guy like they
83
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,879
treated me in fifth grade. Let's
get to bullying tonight. Yeah. Let's
84
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:55,680
push them around, dude, Let's
push them around. And there s on
85
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360
their jersey that looks like the S
that you learned how to draw in fourth
86
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,439
grade with the three lines three lines
and then the three lines are underneath it
87
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,639
and you connect the little lines.
Any seven year old can draw that s
88
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:09,199
all right? Oh like what you're
doing? Okay, So I'm gonna calm
89
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:13,639
down, so feisty. All the
S is a tentacle. I'd never noticed
90
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,800
that before. It's actually pretty chicky. Don't start talking nice out their.
91
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,759
Everley is just a good player,
and like Everley. You like Everley.
92
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,839
He's good. Did you see when
he was trying to protect the puck the
93
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,680
other night and he cradled it like
on top of it, and the announcer
94
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:32,279
was like, hey, is not
letting go. That was funny. So
95
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,519
tonight's game just a quick PSA.
It is, like Kevin said earlier,
96
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,439
it is green. It's a green
out tonight, So where you're green the
97
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:46,279
Dallas Stars Actually, uh, just
put this quote out on Twitter, Jeff,
98
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,160
you'll appreciate it. It's a quote
from Ron Weasley, not blackout,
99
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:53,439
not retro green ocause Ron Weasley said
that. I know he didn't really say
100
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,160
that, but maybe that makes sense
to you. Maybe the stupidest answer I've
101
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,480
ever given green, not black out, not retro green. Did Ron Weasley
102
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,279
like Green? I don't know what
Weasley quote that. Harry Potter, No,
103
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,759
that's Harry Potter. I don't know. Ron was fine. He's my
104
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:15,319
weast character social media person. Maybe
maybe not everybody understands, but yeah,
105
00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:19,160
this could be a Harry Potter deep
cut. It must be. Maybe we'll
106
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:24,000
have them on someday, one of
those fantasy nerds running your hockey team account.
107
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:28,199
Huh oh, I support that obviously. Guess all right, Google Search
108
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:30,480
doesn't tie these things together in any
way, shape or form. That's funny,
109
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,319
Okay, it's bust. It's a
man of my next Ron Weasley Green.
110
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:40,839
I think we're ready for I see
the wheel seven up on our screen.
111
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:44,480
Story lines ahead of tonight's Game seven, we have a green wheel.
112
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:47,680
It is in studio with us.
It's actually a love it different shades of
113
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:54,000
green actually wins a little bit more
mustardy. But let's go ahead and spend
114
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,600
the wheel. Oh, come on, hey, come on now stop.
115
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:09,600
We got what we got where?
All right? Mike Reiner, We have
116
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,759
a really cool wheel that also includes
the voice of Mike Reiner. Number two
117
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,759
storyline of the day. And these
are no particular order, because I would
118
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,800
actually say this could be number one. If you're looking at order of importance.
119
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Jake Ottinger, if you've been following
along, got screwed? Have you've
120
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,639
been following along this season? You
know that Jake Ottinger is very good following
121
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,919
a loss. In fact, the
record right now is twenty two one and
122
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,799
three this season, what including four
and oh in the playoffs after a loss.
123
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,840
Um he has looked in the losses. He doesn't look good. Um,
124
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:52,320
I think the amateur hockey Jeff coming
at you right now. Yeah.
125
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,720
I think Harley's got a little something. Yeah, I think Mirro's great.
126
00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:01,480
I think as a whole, the
defenseman don't do a great job of making
127
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,960
Otter's job easy. Stay tuned for
storyline number six. Okay, but yeah,
128
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,399
I mean, you can help your
goaltender a lot by playing good defense.
129
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,480
You can also make it a lot
harder on your goaltender. But the
130
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,559
key is having a goaltender that can
make most of the sames regardless, and
131
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:26,600
Jake usually is that. And I
don't think he's been that this series.
132
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,360
But when he's good, he's really
good, and so that's all we need
133
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,840
tonight. It's like, let's just
have one of those really good games tonight
134
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,799
and then like take a minute re
rack if something's ailing you. Maybe that
135
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,279
will heal up. I don't know, but just just reset. These these
136
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,759
playoff series is are brutal. We
know that, and maybe he's not feeling
137
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:54,679
one hundred percent. But there's a
kind of deep analytics graphic here that I
138
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,440
saw that I liked. So it's
comparing Jake Ottinger's numbers in his way to
139
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,480
his losses. So in the playoffs, he has seven wins, he has
140
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:09,480
four losses. His goals against average
in the wins one point eight six,
141
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:15,000
his goals against average in the losses
three point nine zero. Well, it's
142
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,440
not good. His save percentage in
the win point nine thirty one in losses
143
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:24,080
point eight seventy two. Um.
And this is also interesting. So the
144
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,399
support that he's given, the run
support, if you will, by his
145
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,960
teammates. In wins, the Dallas
Stars have scored four point seven one goals
146
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,960
a game. In the losses that
Jay Gauder's losses, the Stars have scored
147
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,799
two point seven five goals a game. Five and three there, Yeah,
148
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,600
five and three, Okay. Obviously
the goals are gonna help you win.
149
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,360
So it's whatever, but it's it's
it's just interesting. The losses have been
150
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,720
have been real. I don't know
if I want to say real bad that
151
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,240
sounds harsh, but the losses have
been bad. He got yank. He
152
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,960
got yanked on was early on Saturday. To Yankee. Personally, I thought
153
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,799
that was odd, and I know
Pete did the interview during the game and
154
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,840
said I was just trying to wake
everyone up, but I was like,
155
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,320
Okay, sorry, it's all yours
wedge because you're, you know, at
156
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,759
that point, you're not that yank
a goaltender. That's also a lot of
157
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,159
times that's why you see them shuffle
the lines around. Was kind of to
158
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,960
like wake everybody up. But I
thought it was early. Also, it's
159
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,679
the baseball manager getting thrown out of
a game on purpose. Yeah, just
160
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,039
trying to wake people up, right, Like I'm just gonna go cause a
161
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,279
ruckus and get that bullpen to wake
up our sorry dugout um. So yeah,
162
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,759
that that's can be one of the
reasons. Also, you heard him
163
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,279
say, I think he said we
were kind of like trying to not look
164
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,080
ahead to Game seven, but he
had Game seven in mind, like when
165
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,120
he saw the way that that one
was going. Also, you hope that
166
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:54,200
Scott Wedgwood can come in and play
really well, and he did. He
167
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,399
played pretty well. But I was
a little surprised by that too, because
168
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,799
for a young goaltender. Granted,
Jake's you know, he's been our starter
169
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,960
all year long or for two seasons
now, and he has a little bit
170
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,240
of playoff experience, but he is
a young goaltender. He's a young person,
171
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:13,120
and that kind of thing can rattle
you and shake your confidence. But
172
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,879
if you look at these numbers when
he is in a bad way, it
173
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,120
usually doesn't go well. If you
can tell that, like he's having one
174
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,960
of those nights or something's bothering him, like maybe that's what he saw and
175
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:26,639
so you just pull him and see, you know what you can get from
176
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:30,240
Wedgwood. And then if not he's
rested at least for game seven, go
177
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,399
full bell for tonight, let's go
what oh yeah, yeah, well,
178
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,519
or you could go Ottinger, right, go Ottinger, like do what you
179
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,480
did last year against Calgary in the
playoffs that game seven. It took a
180
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,559
couple overtimes for Calgary to finally get
rid of the Stars. But Jake Ottinger
181
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:52,039
was amazing. And I think,
Kevin, if you look closely tonight,
182
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,159
you might see a goaltender stand on
his head. Oh, come on,
183
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,440
you just might. It's just such. So I just hope they have a
184
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440
little like cushion for his head or
something, because that, you're right,
185
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,600
that is dangerous. It would be
very difficult upside down. All the blood
186
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:11,200
rushes to your head all of a
sudden, you can't speak very well.
187
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,919
Yeah. So hopefully the team plays
well in front of him and he won't
188
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,000
have to. But I think if
that's what it comes down to, he
189
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:20,440
just might pull out a pillow and
do a headstand for the whole entire game.
190
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,320
If the crack and score three or
less, they're dead. Yes,
191
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:28,240
that's what we need, yes,
twenty two, one and three this season
192
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,960
after a lost four too in the
playoffs. That's Jake Ottens, you're that's
193
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,279
storyline number two. What do we
have next, mister wheel spet ok,
194
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:50,720
I guess number five? Scroll scroll
All right, let's talk about the elephant
195
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:56,559
in the room. Robertson. Yeah, okay, I have a Robertson observation.
196
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,879
What's your Robertson observation? My thing
about talking about sportation, my ro
197
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,840
observation. I enjoy talking about sports
that I'm not like an expert in because
198
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,519
I just watch it and fake stuff
and then I'd say the stuff I think,
199
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,639
and then Julie can tell me if
I'm right or wrong. Yeah,
200
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,480
in Game six, I'm watching it
and at times, like I get it,
201
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,000
the hockey puck doesn't always stay flat
on the ground. It rolls around,
202
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,120
and it flips around, it does
all these little moves. But I
203
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,879
just felt like there was a bunch
of times when Jason Robertson could have made
204
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:30,879
a play, and I'm like one
of the leading scores and hockey makes that
205
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,559
play. What is happening? Like
It's like, whoop, it flipped over
206
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,039
my stick or whoops, didn't get
that right, And I'm just like,
207
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,440
are you Are we in our head
here? So I would say yes,
208
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,799
I would say you're absolutely right on
with that observation. I think there's something
209
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,039
going on mentally a little bit.
But I also think it just seems like
210
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,000
he is playing a little slower.
Oh no, then some of the other
211
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:56,279
players. There was a point I
think when in the last game Rope Hints
212
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,679
just totally outscated him and was looking
for someone in Robertson Rope fast. But
213
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,960
like Rope and Robertson have played together
all season long, they should know.
214
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,639
Robertson knows he's got to get on
it, get on the horse. If
215
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:09,879
you see Rope with the puck,
you get up there right there with him.
216
00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:13,200
You support him, and you you
you should be there because something's going
217
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,480
to happen. If Rope has a
puck and he's on your line, he's
218
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,039
your teammate. So there were a
little there were instances where where Robertson was
219
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,399
just kind of too slow. Um, and that's not good. He's playing
220
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,440
a little slower. Playoff games are
generally faster games than regular season games.
221
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:33,960
We've talked about how they're more physical
brand of game in the playoff, and
222
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,480
that's not necessarily something that plays to
his strength. I think he's doing okay
223
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,360
with that aspect of it, but
it just kind of seems like he can't
224
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:45,759
keep up sometimes. Um, it's
not good. He had a gas.
225
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Is tonight be his ninety fifth game
of the year. Yeah, I mean
226
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
there's he never played ninety five games
in a year before. There's something to
227
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:56,559
be said for that. It's a
long season and here you are in games
228
00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:02,559
seven of your second round. You
know you're another extra thirteen games or something.
229
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:07,440
Or you're also super young. You're
super young. This observation I actually
230
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,720
had. I'm gonna quate this to
the Cheetahs soccer game, which is the
231
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:18,519
seven year old soccer game that I
watched on Saturday, because I since I'm
232
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:21,799
watching so much hockey, I'm watching
soccer now and like talking to myself about
233
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:25,360
how it relates to hockey because now
of the moms very frustrating sports. Yeah,
234
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:27,799
and so like there was a kid
who, uh, he is really
235
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,039
good, and he's really good with
controlling the ball, and he's really good
236
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,519
with the little like his his foot
skills or whatever you call it in soccer.
237
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,480
Like he makes a lot of plays. He's he's called dribbling. No,
238
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,279
but like you know, if you
can Finesse moves, yeah, I
239
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,639
guess Finesse moves a point guard time. Yeah. Yeah, Well like whatever,
240
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:49,960
he does, little tricks vision,
he has little tricks with his feet.
241
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:55,840
Good skill, he's skilled. He's
very skilled. Um, and so
242
00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:57,639
he was kind he had the ball
and this was a big this was a
243
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:00,879
big game for the Cheetahs like this, this was a big point, Like
244
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,839
we needed a goal and this kid
has the ball and he's like just waiting,
245
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:07,279
waiting, waiting, waiting. He's
trying to get in the right position.
246
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,440
He's trying to make sure that there's
no one right on top of him,
247
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:12,359
and he's going outside, outside,
outside, and now all of a
248
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,200
sudden, you lost your shot.
Yeah, And so he shoots it and
249
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,319
it just goes into the side of
the net. That's kind of what Jason
250
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,599
Robertson's been doing. Oh, he's
shame at the front. It's kind of
251
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,960
what Jason Robertson's been doing. When
you're holding onto the puck for too long,
252
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,599
and you're holding onto the puck for
too long, you're trying to make
253
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,160
the perfect play in hockey. You'll
hear him say trying to be too cute
254
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,240
a lot of times, and we're
seeing that a little bit from Jason robertson.
255
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,599
Just shoot it, just shoot it, just make something happen. And
256
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,440
that lends me to another one of
the storylines. Things happen in front of
257
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:53,079
the net for both of these teams. So let's spend the wheel story line
258
00:17:53,440 --> 00:18:04,880
game seven. The third storyline for
tonight's game seven, between the Dallas Stars
259
00:18:06,039 --> 00:18:11,319
and the Seattle kurakin Um, we
have, like I mentioned, the battle
260
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,599
in front of the net um,
so we've seen most of the offense for
261
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,400
both of these teams come from right
in front of the net. It's all
262
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,000
tips as well. He is really
good at that. But when it comes
263
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:36,599
to looking at Seattle and the evil
groups, Grubauer, he's the evil groups
264
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,759
um. So in game five,
when the Stars had a very well played
265
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,000
game, a dominant win in game
five, they had success in front of
266
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,599
the net, net fronts success,
if you will. And this is a
267
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,319
stat that I saw that I liked. Eleven of their fifteen goals versus Grubauer,
268
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:59,079
we're off of screens, deflections,
or rebounds. That's that dirty greasy,
269
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:07,200
chip away at it kind of goal. He let's see his playoffs save
270
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:15,559
percentage um when it comes to shots
including screens, deflections, or rebounds eight
271
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,440
thirty two, thirteenth out of nineteen
qualified goalies in the playoffs, thirteenth when
272
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,319
there's something in front of him,
right, Like, that's when he's not
273
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,400
good. Obviously, if you can
get in front of his eyes, that's
274
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,160
perfect, if you set a screen
that kind of thing, but basically making
275
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,359
it messy in front of the net, he's not good at that goal.
276
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,279
Yes, in the last game was
so awesome. That's why fake evil grooves
277
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:41,920
just like stood all the way up
because it's like this thing's going over the
278
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,519
net and just like, dude,
yes, that's why Pavelski sets up camp
279
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,839
in front of the net, and
a lot of these guys do without a
280
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:56,319
screen, deflection or a rebound.
His save percentage ninety eight, first of
281
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,519
all of the remaining goaltenders in the
playoffs. So he's really good if he
282
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:03,480
can see the puck so ugly it
up in front of evil groups. Let's
283
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,200
get evil in front of evil groups. The Dallas Stars kind of the same
284
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,880
way. I would say that is
also the way to attack Jake Ottinger.
285
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:15,680
So it's something we need to play
better defense against. Right, don't let
286
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,200
them get into that area. Score
the first goal, score the first goal,
287
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,200
but don't let them score twenty seconds
later. The wheel real quick.
288
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:37,319
Oh that might be on there,
wheels on couldn't die all right, This
289
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,079
one's kind of simple. It's game
seven. You have home ice advantage.
290
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,119
This is what you work so hard
for all season long. You want home
291
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,119
ice advantage, and now you have
it in a game seven in the playoffs.
292
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:56,960
I think there's a lot more value
for home ice in games seven than
293
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,640
there is in home for home ice
in games one and two. Right,
294
00:21:02,519 --> 00:21:06,680
if you look at the playoffs this
season and most seasons, if you have
295
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:10,599
a situation where there's two games on
someone's home ice, it's usually a split.
296
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:12,119
Most of the time, is it. Most of the time has been
297
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,599
in the playoffs this season? In
the NHL Game seven, you can feel
298
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,839
it. It matters. You want
your fans to elevate you to a win.
299
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,680
And like I read in that Pete
Debor quote at the beginning of this
300
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:26,319
segment, this is what you work
for. This is what all the blood,
301
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,400
sweat and tears is for. It's
four game seven. You have home
302
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:36,720
ice. You want to be the
one to make the team your opponent feel
303
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:41,160
off everything we talk about. Make
them with stand your attack, make them
304
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,119
on the play on their heels.
Use the home ice tier advantage. You've
305
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,960
worked hard for it, You've earned
it. The top players need to be
306
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:53,079
the top players tonight. Not to
be cliche e coachy, but we need
307
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:56,839
more from Tyler, We need more
from Jamie, We need a little bit
308
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:00,359
more from Ottinger. We need a
lot more from Robertson. You know what
309
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:06,000
if two of those four activate tonight
seriously and do well, that would be
310
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,480
great. I hope fans are able
to get there by seven. It's hard
311
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:15,480
to get anywhere and way traffic works
in this town. I hope there leave
312
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:19,759
early from work if you can,
obviously quick but yeah, this is this
313
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:25,240
is like a big like green out. Make it uncomfortable, make it incredible,
314
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:30,960
yep, make it incredible, um
quickly. My last one I kind
315
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
of referenced Pete de Boor. He's
one of them. He's one of the
316
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
storylines. Guys. He's six and
no as a head coach all time.
317
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:40,559
In game seven, let's he's been
waiting. He gets secrets and no the
318
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,319
longest streak of game seven wins among
head coaches. Um, he's his quote.
319
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,519
Those are lifetime experiences when you get
to play in game sevens, especially
320
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:52,079
in front of your home crowd,
the opportunity to really make a statement and
321
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,559
move us on to the next round. I'm excited. I think our group's
322
00:22:53,559 --> 00:22:56,319
excited. Hopefully the Dallas Stars fans
are excited. Oh. By the way,
323
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,000
if he wins, he gets to
play his former team and the next
324
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,519
strap. That's cool. He's pumped
up. This team's gonna want to win
325
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:06,079
it for him. Tell me if
this would work. Yeah, okay,
326
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,319
it's game seven. Y tend break
out all the tricks. You win the
327
00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:12,640
opening face off, You drop the
puck back to Ottinger, who leads the
328
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:18,880
break. Okay, this is a
play that you save season. Game starts
329
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,039
coming down the ice. Okay,
he stopped. He goes by the Stars
330
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,160
bench, swaps out the gold stick
for a regular stick. He's got all
331
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,079
that equipment on. He hands it
off to Miro. He leads the way.
332
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:33,480
He's got all that body armor on. Just follow him in. That
333
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:37,000
would be interesting, That would make
Sports Center. But I don't think we
334
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:44,599
need to do that him, stick
with the game plan, protect Jake Ottinger,
335
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,240
don't put him out on center ice. Um. And and lastly,
336
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:52,839
like Jeff, you mentioned better defense. We need better defense tonight. The
337
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Lindell and Hawk and Pop Harrying was
particularly bad. Um Lindell, who is
338
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,480
a good defenseman. He is a
core part of this core decore if you
339
00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:07,559
will very soon trying to do a
little core onwards there. Yeah, he's
340
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,359
a core part of the core.
Um. But he had a bad game.
341
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:14,680
He was on the ice for five
of Seattle's six goals Game six.
342
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:18,599
He said, I mean everything went
sideways today. I don't know if I've
343
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,000
played that bad for a long time. I just felt they got odd Man's
344
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:23,960
won battles, all the things we've
been good at before went sideways today.
345
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Hey, throw it out, put
it in the trash. It's gone.
346
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,400
It's in the dumpster in Seattle.
Actually, that's where that game is.
347
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,319
It's a fresh sheet of ice tonight. It's a fresh game. It's Game
348
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,759
seven, it is. That was
Julie Dobbs her seven storylines for Game seven.
349
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:45,519
We'll do our goal picks next.
Plus we'll listen to your talkbacks and
350
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:47,880
mix with the Bninskan show right here, ninety seven one, the Freak
