You probably got me on 38 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:03.799 that one. 39 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.719 Bruce, Dustin and I were all like, where did you 40 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:10.879 learn to read a tape measure? 41 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.479 And I didn't really read.

You're just brand fucking new. 95 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.720 Yeah, oh you know what it might have been. Yeah, 96 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.680 because now it's starting to come back. Were they playing 97 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:31.079 war Road? 98 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:31.519 I think so? 99 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:37.079 Yeah, they got absolutely Yeah, they Jason had like six 100 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.279 points and between the legs girls. No that it wasn't girls. 101 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.040 I was talking boys. 102 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.800 Oh I know. It was war Road for sure. 103 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.480 You know what, I think I did do a Bimiji 104 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.560 war Road game for girls. That Yeah, I did two 105 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.160 hockey games that year. 106 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.199 And it was it was a girls because they they 107 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.480 had a phenom in the in the net. I don't 108 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.519 remember who it was or was it the boys, It 109 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:56.800 doesn't matter, but anyways, it was. 110 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.480 No, no, no, no, this was definitely boys, okay, because the 111 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.519 phenom net was Hampton. Sulkinski was playing for Western Michigan 112 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.639 won a national title last year. Jason Chagaba had six 113 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.600 points I believe in that game. But he went between 114 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:09.959 the legs and the third period on a pass that 115 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.199 went back door, and I had a realization of, oh shit, uh, 116 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.480 this might not be this might not be going as 117 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.120 well as I'd hope. But thank god they proved me wrong. 118 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.160 And is he's still over into luth. 119 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.839 Yeah, he's He's disgusting. He's so good that whole top line. 120 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.240 It's just that's crazy that what was worlds senior class 121 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.720 that you had three or four kids drafted. 122 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:42.920 Let's see, uh Shaga Bay Sulkinsky both got drafted Shagabay's 123 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:48.040 second round to Tampa, Sulkinski second round to LA and 124 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.480 then I don't know if if Pilgrim was drafted. 125 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.519 There was another forward I think that got. It's not 126 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.040 one of the Marvins, because I think they's all gone, though. 127 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.000 Damon Gardner, i'd have to maybe. I don't know if 128 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.040 he got drafted. He went to Clarkson right away. Now 129 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.519 he's at Saint Cloud. But do you look up and 130 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.720 down that roster.

We uh got the podcast on its own 386 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.799 feed now and then starting next year it'll just be 387 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.119 its own thing away from the CCCHA where we can 388 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:05.880 do a little a little bit more flexibility with it. 389 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.839 But yeah, no, so we do. 390 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.319 We actually did two episodes this week. I recorded one 391 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.359 earlier today with a man Cato player.

Yeah, but stud but yeah, so that's kind 399 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.200 of that's what we do for podcasting and stuff. But yeah, 400 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.400 nothing too crazy. 401 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.279 Well, cent you're basically talking about let's get it, might 402 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:36.200 as well get a six packs. 403 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.160 It's time for the Billy Sports six Packs.

With Bryce Primo 407 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.039 and the Bimage area called two and eight seven six 408 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.599 zero ninety seven eight nine, or send an email to 409 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.559 Premonition three sixty five at hotmail dot com. 410 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:04.240 Yes, justin you are early this time. Uh the six 411 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:10.279 pack first one is gonna be the BSU hockey. They are. 412 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.519 They're not bad. They're middle of the road. They could 413 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.119 be a lot better, could be a lot worse. It 414 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:18.839 could be a lot I've seen a lot worse. 415 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.799 So it went my son and I went to Friday 416 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.880 Night's Tommy game. They upset Night, and they were what 417 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:31.960 twelve fourteen and one going into that game, so they 418 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.519 were thirteen fourteen and one after Friday Night. 419 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:40.440 Twelve seventeen and three. At that point, I think, but yeah, 420 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:43.359 you mixed up the CCHA record and the main record. 421 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:47.200 But yeah, you're pretty much spot on. Yeah no, it's 422 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.160 oh yeah, twelve seventeen in one. And then I mean 423 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.359 Jeffery's spot on, like it's. 424 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:57.039 Middle of the roads. 425 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:02.160 Is like the the very vague way of putting this 426 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.640 season because I think, you know, if you go to 427 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.079 the rink on one weekend, you see a team that 428 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.519 can win the CCHA, could make the NCAA tournament. You 429 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.079 go on a different weekend, you see a team that's like, hey, 430 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.599 is this team gonna make the CCHA playoffs? You know, 431 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.680 it's it's been the quintessential up and down year in 432 00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:20.480 a lot of respects. 433 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.480 So they after Friday Nights when they locked in the 434 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.359 sixth seed for the playoffs. 435 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.640 Technically it was locked in and going into the third 436 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:29.680 period because of Lake State, but yeah, with a win. 437 00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.960 Locked bath. So I've posed this question in the last 438 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:41.519 two years. Now, at what point does territories leash run out? 439 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.680 Because never ever, that's my lifetime contract. 440 00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:50.119 Because so this would have been before your time. But 441 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.319 about ten years ago when they finally got into the 442 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.000 WHA cost us the Sanford Center to get into the WCHA. 443 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.079 So was that after I was gonna fight from guy 444 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:04.000 from faris. No, it was so. 445 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.880 They get into the WHA, They're finally in the premiere 446 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.640 college conference. And I've got a lot of strong feelings 447 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:14.480 about college hockey and the w c h A. I 448 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.400 won't get into that though. 449 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:16.559 No, that's fair. I got them too. 450 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.400 But they held their own with the cream of the 451 00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.920 crop in that conference. 452 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.640 Went to a frozen four. 453 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.359 I think that was right right before that was right 454 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.920 before the year before the w c h ay was 455 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.559 the year they made. 456 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:35.279 Just the CCHA at that point, but so nine Frozen 457 00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.720 four Run. They've made a couple tournament appearances since then, 458 00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.799 but haven't had anything like on nine. 459 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:45.160 W c h A. 460 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.200 Big ten fucking ruined college hockey. So the w c 461 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.720 h A ceases to know as exists as we know it. 462 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.799 So now it's in CCHC and then Big ten. And 463 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.680 with how BSU played in the WCHA, you would have 464 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:07.039 thought that they would just dominate the WCCHA that was 465 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.039 left over and they were just a middle of their 466 00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.200 own team. And then when the WCCHA folded and they 467 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.400 move into the CCHA, they've just been middling. 468 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.880 Yeah to some respect, for sure, I'm and I think 469 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.279 in that sense too, it's also kind of up and down, 470 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.839 because I mean, they sure had their years like you know, 471 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.000 this year and last year where the low points are 472 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:31.359 really really low and really depressingly low to be at 473 00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:36.160 the rink, right, But then even you know, a big picture, 474 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.119 right like two years ago they win the mcnoton Cup. 475 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:41.000 I think seven years before that they won their first 476 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:44.119 mcnoughton Cup. So it's like middling, yeah, one hundred percent, 477 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.119 but it's also come with like these big swings of 478 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.279 what middling looks like too of and you know it 479 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.039 is it's interesting when you put it like that, when 480 00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:59.000 it's like you think they dominate. And I think another 481 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.680 school to look at that is Minnesota State man Cato too, 482 00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:04.920 because they were horrible in the w c h A, 483 00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:07.839 I mean horrible, could not make the w c h 484 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:08.599 A Final five. 485 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:08.960 Bad. 486 00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.720 And you know the Troy Jutting as the coach, his 487 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.319 uh you know, his son came and played for Amigies 488 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.039 State transfer from Colorado College, but uh, you know, his 489 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.079 time certainly ran out. But then they get Mike hay 490 00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:23.319 Stings and Mike hase things brings turns them into this 491 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.599 juggernaut and it's like, you know, it's almost like it's 492 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:28.279 hard to kind of think about it now, but it's 493 00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:30.519 like Minnesota State wasn't I don't. 494 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:31.160 I don't think. 495 00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.599 Always supposed to become this in the WHA or at 496 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.480 the CCHA. But you know, a lot of it just 497 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.000 kind of comes down to the external factors of college 498 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.519 hockey in a lot of ways, right, and it's only 499 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:44.960 getting harder in that respect. But at the same time, 500 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:46.960 there's also things that make it a little bit easier, 501 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:50.079 like the CHL infusion into college hockey. I mean, you 502 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.680 know that that's the craziest thing about this year is 503 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:54.920 you know, you look back at the past two or 504 00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.640 three years of the CCHA as a whole, it's. 505 00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:58.920 A one bid league into the tournament. 506 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.599 Uh, you know, a lot of from a national perspective, 507 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:05.640 I think it's perceived as well, one team at from 508 00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.359 Atlantic's going to get in, one team from the c 509 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.160 CCHA is going to get in, and the rest of 510 00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:11.759 the spots are up for grabs for the ECAC Big 511 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.400 ten Hockey yea. And I think that you know, when 512 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.319 when we think of the CCCHA, you almost kind of 513 00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:21.960 have to think of it in like a three year window, 514 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:24.240 and that to you know, two and a half now 515 00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:26.880 almost three years ago was the start of a window 516 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.079 where I think the CCHA wanted to get better at 517 00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:31.960 branding itself as a conference that is not just a 518 00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:33.000 one bid league anymore. 519 00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.240 Now. 520 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:35.799 A lot of things had to break their way, right, 521 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.759 Like you needed Augustana to become a good team and 522 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.079 a viable team, not just a good story. That's like 523 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.319 now they're a middling team and they have right, I mean, 524 00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.039 they finished second the league last year their third in 525 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.039 the league. This year, they are the best chance for 526 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.640 the c CCHA to get an at large bid into 527 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.279 the NCAA Tournament. Minnesota State needed to stay at the top, 528 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.480 Bowling Green needed to take a big step forward and 529 00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.119 compete with a Michigan Tech and Minutes you know, Bimidgie State, 530 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.480 right all of those teams. 531 00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.759 Saint Thomas prior to last week and was rank sixteenth 532 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:05.000 in the country, which jealous fan here slightly pissed off. 533 00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.359 What they get into the NCCHC after only being a 534 00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:11.599 D one program for two years three years, Yeah, for sure. 535 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:14.440 At the same time, though, like if you put Bimidgie 536 00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.759 State in the NCHD right now, it'd be hard to 537 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.519 make the argument that the team would be better because 538 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:25.279 you the resources that they can put towards getting your 539 00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:26.559 feeling of competitive hockey. 540 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:32.079 Well, that's just so. Bamidge's the prime example of a 541 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:38.160 second tier school compared to your Minnesota's or Boston's or 542 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:42.680 any even North Dakota. We're never gonna get that five star, 543 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.720 blue chip pro prospect. You know, they're always going to 544 00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:49.759 go to the major pro We're gonna be constantly getting 545 00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.119 the kids that need to go to juniors for a 546 00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:55.079 few years this season and that are going to be 547 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.799 older when they finally do break into the college ranks. 548 00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:03.279 Bingo definitely, and I think you're like ninety percent right, 549 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:08.680 because they do at times find the kid that slips 550 00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.759 through the curser. I was actually thinking pole Camp two 551 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.839 years ago. You know, Eric Polcamp has his freshman year year, 552 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.160 he's one of the best freshman defensemen in the country, 553 00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.400 plays World Juniors, wins the gold medal with the US. 554 00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.960 They committed him when he had I believe, two points 555 00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.279 in the USHL. After he commits, he then takes off 556 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:28.319 like I don't know if it was pressure of trying 557 00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:30.480 to make a commitment or play well in front of 558 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:32.720 scouts where it just wasn't working well. But after he 559 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.279 made that commitment, he turned into a point per game defenseman. 560 00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:37.720 Won the USHL Defenseman of the Year award. The year after, 561 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:39.920 plays his freshman year at Bimige State, they win the 562 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.200 mcnuttin Cup. He transfers to Denver that sucked. 563 00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.279 It sucked. 564 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.000 It sucks for you know a lot of reasons, Like 565 00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.240 in the hey, Bimigii State did the legwork to find 566 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:51.000 a kid like that and he's not here anymore. It's 567 00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:53.880 not a unique story. Every college on Bemidjie State's level 568 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:55.440 is dealing with it in a lot of respects. But 569 00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:58.599 at the same time, I think the attitude towards kids 570 00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.160 like that has shifted, not just for Bovinji State, but 571 00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:03.759 for college hockey as a hole where I'd rather have 572 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.240 that kid in my locker room for one year than 573 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:07.319 not have him in there at all. 574 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.839 Part of that whole landscape that you're describing right now, too, 575 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:17.079 is something that Bruce and I have a big bone with. 576 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.960 Is the transfer portal. I would imagine, yeah, you know, 577 00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:26.200 because it's akin to the twins developing Johan Santana and 578 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.359 then time to re sign them to a contract and whoop, 579 00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.000 see you later. Correct, you know, So we're we're like 580 00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:34.039 the feeder program for some of these more major schools 581 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:39.319 sure where they're going to get college experience versus you know, 582 00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:41.400 major junior a's or something like that. 583 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:46.960 Definitely, the transfer portal is is always going to be 584 00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:51.039 a win lose thing, right like the because it is 585 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.039 frustrating from a fan perspective, and and like I'll be honest, 586 00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:55.680 I'm not a fan of Themia. I'm not a fan 587 00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:58.119 of any college hockey team, Like it's it's my job, 588 00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.440 Like I go to the rink and I they cut 589 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.960 me head or what you see. But it's you know, 590 00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:05.240 from a from the fan perspective, it is, it is. 591 00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:05.920 It sucks. 592 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:09.119 It just sucks when you especially when you're one of 593 00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:11.559 the fans that watches every game, every period. You're living 594 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:13.240 and dying with the players. You get to almost kind 595 00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.079 of know the players and a lot you know, you 596 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:17.319 see him at Luken's when they're shopping for groceries. You 597 00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:19.319 see him at Coffee District when they're picking up coffee 598 00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:21.279 in the morning, right, Like that's the best part about 599 00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:24.839 hockey and Bamigi and Houghten and even Mankato which is 600 00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:26.839 a little bit bigger, but it allows people to make 601 00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.400 those personal connections with players that you don't really get 602 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.200 to do in Minneapolis. You don't really get to do 603 00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:35.480 that in Boston, And it sucks for fans to, you know, 604 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.440 have to live with the realization that if a kid 605 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:40.640 is really really really really good, like elite level good, 606 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.279 the chances of the of them staying in the CCHA 607 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:46.440 are lower than maybe the rest of their team. 608 00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.920 From that athlete standpoint, if you get the chance to 609 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.119 get more exposure, you take it absolutely. 610 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.720 And I get I get the personal side where he 611 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.119 wants to. 612 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:57.000 And the thing that I always go back to, like, 613 00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:59.160 I don't I don't hate the transfer portal. I don't 614 00:29:59.160 --> 00:29:59.960 love the transfer portal. 615 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:01.000 It just is what it is. 616 00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:05.119 It needs some different rules and some groundwork done to it. 617 00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:07.839 But at the reason I think that it should be 618 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.559 regardless of hockey, football, basketball, it should be a minimum 619 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:12.759 of a two year commitment. 620 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:17.400 Sure, I think whatever commit whatever rules that you put 621 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.240 on players, you have to put them on coaches. 622 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:20.160 Absolutely. 623 00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:23.240 That is the barn up because when we think of 624 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:25.759 the transfer portal, and it's the same for NIL, these 625 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.559 NC double A rules were codified by law, like they 626 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.000 you know, the transfer portal didn't just come up out 627 00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.440 of nowhere. And I'm not saying that you said that 628 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:35.319 or anybody else is saying it. But that's the misconception 629 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:37.160 with the transfer portal, is that the NC double A 630 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:39.559 is the one dictating the rules of the transfer portal, 631 00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:42.799 when it's actually the courts of the American government that 632 00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:45.880 are doing it. But it always comes back down to 633 00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:47.960 what I would probably I don't know what. I don't 634 00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:49.359 have a better phrase, but maybe it's just like a 635 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:51.759 human rights issue. If a coach can take four jobs 636 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:53.839 in four years and recruits players to those schools and 637 00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:56.519 they're not allowed to leave, well, look at Dion exactly 638 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.160 Colorado and he walks in and half is Jackson's eight 639 00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.559 rosters coming with them, right, you know, like you know, 640 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.839 there's it happens every single year, and you know, if 641 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:08.640 a coach can sit there and take four jobs in 642 00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:10.319 four years, a player should have the right to do 643 00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.440 that as well. It's the same as, uh, you know, 644 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:14.720 when people say, hey, we should put a salary cap 645 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.880 essentially on an IL, don't I don't disagree with that, 646 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.759 But now you have to put caps on how much 647 00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.400 coaches can make too, because that's where you know, uh, 648 00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.240 we're you know, it's easy to kind of forget the 649 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:28.759 fact that college athletes are still adults, like they are 650 00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.559 still essentially working adults and you know, playing college sports, 651 00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:34.720 and if there's a cap on how much money they're 652 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:38.039 allowed to make compared to other people, you know, you'd 653 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:40.599 almost have to like factor in a coach's salary into 654 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:42.680 the entirety of an IL. 655 00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.839 So like Bruce and I have talked in the past too. 656 00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:52.440 It's like, okay, say NCAA, courts, governing body authorities, go 657 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.079 all right, here's your nil pool, and it's going to 658 00:31:55.119 --> 00:32:00.880 be the same for every school ten million for example. 659 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.200 We're getting there. It's it's coming, you know, because. 660 00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:09.000 Same thing like Minnesota football is never gonna be able 661 00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.119 to compete with Alabama. 662 00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:16.240 And well, you know, Indiana approved can happen the worst, 663 00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.000 It'll be a cold day in hell. 664 00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:21.640 Can If you sound like an Indiana fan, yeah, I 665 00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.039 mean hater. 666 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.880 It literally just comes down to, is there somebody in 667 00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:26.799 the state of Minnesota that wants to see the Gophers 668 00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:30.319 win a national championship? And granted, now, then it takes 669 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:33.160 an athletic department, you know, buying into that as well, 670 00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:35.400 and then hiring the coach that's gonna get behind the 671 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.920 same vision, right, Like everybody likes to say, well, Indiana 672 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.640 just infused like sixty million dollars into their roster. That's 673 00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.559 how they did it. Sure, it's a part of how 674 00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.839 they did it. Why come from Kurt Signetti being the 675 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.079 best coaching hire maybe in the history of college football 676 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.960 was a big part of that because he was able 677 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:54.759 to get fine, you know, recognize and find the players 678 00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.759 that sure they were a two star recruit coming out 679 00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.119 of high school. Alabama wouldn't sniff him. But look what 680 00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:01.559 he became into when he was a junior in college. Right, 681 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.039 we're getting there though with the like last summer, I 682 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:11.240 should say they did take a big step into it, 683 00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:14.000 like you know, through the courts again that we're getting 684 00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:18.160 there because there was a settlement made in the Supreme 685 00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.680 Court last year. House versus the NC Double A. It 686 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.559 was a cross country runner from I think the twenty tens, 687 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:25.920 if I'm not mistaken, sued the NC Double A for 688 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:28.960 essentially back payout or not making an eyel money because 689 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.519 they he didn't have the opportunity to make it. So 690 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.599 just like Reggie Bush, correct, Yes, So basically there were 691 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.079 a whole bunch of different decisions that came out of that. 692 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:41.799 One of them was roster limits. You know, if you 693 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:44.799 opt into the if this school opts into the House settlement, 694 00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:47.240 now there are roster limits for every single sport, men's 695 00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:49.200 and women's hockey is twenty six. That number is way 696 00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:50.920 too low. It needs to be twenty eight or twenty nine. 697 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.839 But they'll they'll fix that football, the numbers around one hundred. 698 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:55.559 I don't know it off the top of my Heady 699 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:57.759 you go up and down the list, every single sport 700 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.240 had a roster limit. Another one was that schools can 701 00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:03.920 make nil payments directly to players. They don't have to 702 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.359 do anything for it. There's just you have a certain 703 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.000 amount of money that the schools can pay the players 704 00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:11.639 directly for nil. So if UCLA wants to play Nico 705 00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:14.880 emla Aba, you know, ten million dollars to play quarterback, 706 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.559 they can pay ten million dollars straight from the UCLA 707 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:22.440 books to go to Nico em Alayava. And that that 708 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.599 number has a cap on it. I think it's twenty 709 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.440 and a half million dollars. And I don't know if 710 00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:29.079 it's per team or per school, but that number has 711 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.559 a cap on it. So and we're talking, we're talking 712 00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.239 power for schools, right, Like, this is not going to 713 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.119 be an issue for the CCCHA or ninety nine percent 714 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:37.039 of college hockey teams. 715 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:38.039 It's just the big ten. 716 00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:40.559 And even then all of that starts and ends with 717 00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:43.440 football and men's basketball, right, and then the rest trickles 718 00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.360 down from there. But there was another thing that came 719 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:47.760 out of it. Through revenue sharing, where you know, your 720 00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:50.440 if your football team makes a shit ton of money, 721 00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.760 that football team then can support college hockey, It can 722 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:56.480 support cross country skiing, it can support men's volleyball, you know, 723 00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:01.679 whatever you wanted to support basically in or they looped 724 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:06.000 the House settlement into solving a lot of minor problems 725 00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.280 that are basically more hiccups than anything else. But it 726 00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:12.800 did lay the groundwork for, you know, a lane for 727 00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.360 maybe a cap on how much kids can make an anil. 728 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.880 That's the other thing that comes up so much when 729 00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.800 I hear about it, though, is like what are the 730 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:21.960 kids doing to make NIL? 731 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:22.320 Right? 732 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.800 Like you would have thought, okay, well, this kid's gonna 733 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:27.840 get an advertisement deal with a car dealership, and you 734 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:29.800 know you'll see him on the commercials on TV, or 735 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:32.320 you know, you see arch Manning on commercials for like 736 00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:34.199 I don't know, Jimmy Johns or something like that. Right, 737 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.719 Like that's what people's initial thoughts of NIL looked like 738 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.559 when the reality of NIL is, well, you know, this 739 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.599 grad owns this company and they want this kid to 740 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.519 play for their alma mater, So okay, we're gonna pay 741 00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:50.880 him two million dollars to play left tackle and all 742 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:52.480 he's got to do is post on Instagram with a 743 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:55.320 hashtag ad on it, like, is that is that nil? 744 00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.639 Or is that just cutting a check and posting a 745 00:35:57.679 --> 00:35:59.280 picture of you playing a game when you are you 746 00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:01.880 already would posted something like that and then you put 747 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.960 a watermark sticker of Jimmy John's in the corner or 748 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.880 some you know, some shit like. There's a long way 749 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:10.280 to go in terms of actual regulations on nil, and 750 00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:12.159 there's an even longer way to go for those to 751 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:14.360 you know, make their way to college hockey, because I 752 00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.159 think a big misconception is that, you know, when you 753 00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:18.719 see a kid like Gavin McKenna make seven hundred thousand 754 00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:21.239 dollars to play for Penn State, that you know the 755 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:23.639 big ten schools are throwing out that kind of money 756 00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:25.960 all the time. There are some kids that make six 757 00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:28.840 figures comfortably. You know, you know, you look at Boston. 758 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:33.159 Yeah, Boston Boston College is a little excessive. 759 00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:35.280 That must be nice. 760 00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.039 But like Boston Boston College, right, they can give out 761 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:40.239 some good ANIL checks. There are some c CJA schools 762 00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:42.440 that I know give out some decent nil checks. We're 763 00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.119 talking five figures, whether that's for a four year commitment 764 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.599 or a one year and it renews every year. Right, 765 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.679 but you know the Center for Indiana Football is making 766 00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.800 three hundred grand or you know, uh coy Perrich how 767 00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:56.800 much how much is he making for the golfers last year? 768 00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:56.960 Right? 769 00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.880 Like the money that college hockey players make in comparison 770 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.639 to basketball and football our pennies, right, and so. 771 00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:05.920 Oh, I bet you if you look at the actual 772 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:10.880 like percentage based on revenue, it's probably minute school. Well 773 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:14.840 but even just college hockey is gonna make a million 774 00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.400 dollars in revenue. So only a few of them too, right, 775 00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.719 But you know whereas college football they're gonna make one 776 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.000 hundred million. So I bet you that racial between football 777 00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.360 program football player hockey program hockey, I bet you that 778 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.239 racial is very similar, definitely, And think this and then 779 00:37:31.320 --> 00:37:34.320 this also has like an impact on like the growth 780 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:36.599 of college hockey. It's stuck at sixty three teams right now. 781 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.480 There was actually a sixty or another team. Mayville State 782 00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:43.079 just announce it's getting hockey today, not today today. They're 783 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:45.320 gonna start a transition here next year, start in twenty 784 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:48.400 seven to twenty eight. But you know a few months 785 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:50.840 back there was rumors that Oklahoma State was gonna get hockey. 786 00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.239 I don't if anybody, Yeah I saw that, and uh yeah, 787 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:56.840 that's not happening, was it. UNLV is trying to move 788 00:37:56.920 --> 00:38:00.480 from house to do you want to make that? 789 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:02.880 The thing with UNLV would be like what conference are 790 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.679 they in? Because the problem with teams trying to start 791 00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:07.440 college hockey programs is you don't want to be an 792 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.400 independent because one, the travels brutal too. You're playing twenty 793 00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:12.719 five percent of your games at home, right that's a 794 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:16.800 power for school though un l V like they're they're 795 00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:18.760 in the middle, like they're like Bowling Green their group 796 00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:20.800 of five, you know, mid major in a lot of respect. 797 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:24.800 So the thing is with the growth of college hockey, 798 00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:26.840 it's going to come from D two schools that want 799 00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:29.039 a D one program like in Augustana, you know, like 800 00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.880 a Bmidge State right where, and a lot of them 801 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:32.719 are going to be private schools where they have a 802 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:34.639 little bit of backing behind them, they maybe have some 803 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:35.280 right owner. 804 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.280 As it sits today, there's no D two programs. 805 00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:40.480 No no D three, D two in the whole scope 806 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.679 of college athletics where they play everything D two. But 807 00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.639 then you know Augustana, Augustan is only D one sport 808 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:48.639 is men's hockey. So you're going to see that more 809 00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:51.400 and more and more where hey like these D two 810 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.719 schools where it's really really tough to turn a profit 811 00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:56.760 in anything except for football, but you can turn that 812 00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:59.360 in men's hockey because you're selling Division one. 813 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.880 As long as we're talking college sports, now this title 814 00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:04.199 should have been college sports. 815 00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:07.119 This dies, this dove into like a tangent, but I 816 00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:07.400 love it. 817 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.159 How do you feel about North Dakota moving up to 818 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:13.840 FBS from FCS or FCS from. 819 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:18.079 FBS and issue, Yeah, it's it's smart. It's really smart 820 00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:20.719 because the the I think it's smart for a lot 821 00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:21.960 of reasons, won the money right. 822 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:22.599 You don't. 823 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.000 It cost them seventeen million to do it right, But 824 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:26.719 I think they're going to make the money back, especially 825 00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:30.360 you know, if you can. North Dakota State's good enough 826 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.480 to where you can at least make an argument that 827 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.639 within the next ten years they'll be in contention for 828 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:38.000 a college football payoff. You make the College Football Playoff 829 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:39.519 one time, it makes up for all of. 830 00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.639 That they do. 831 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.920 They maintain the program levels that they're at right now. 832 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:47.000 That's the big question. Yeah, but I think the secondary 833 00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.760 reason why it's really good is it reinvigorated a fan 834 00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:53.639 base that really didn't have anything to show up for 835 00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:57.320 until the postseason started. You know, it's an a. The 836 00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.639 Fargo Dome is a great venue in terms of how 837 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:02.880 lowed it gets in the atmosphere and stuff. Go to 838 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:05.039 a Fargo Dome game in the middle of October when 839 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.599 they're playing but whole State like no butt, whole state, 840 00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:12.360 like nobody cares by by the time the second quarter 841 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.119 starts because the game's already over. Like you you wait 842 00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.559 for the Decoda marker game when they play USD or 843 00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:21.719 and STSU. You wait for the game against UND whether 844 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.239 it's in Grand for it's or Fargo, and then maybe 845 00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:26.880 there's some juice with playing USD. But the thing is 846 00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.400 NDS you got so good that no power forward teams 847 00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.639 are gonna schedule him as an FBS opponent because you're 848 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.000 not gonna pay NDSU to come in and maybe beat 849 00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:35.719 you on your home turn, which was. 850 00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:39.159 Becoming a regularity, right you know, they they would pay 851 00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:41.480 one hundred, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and then 852 00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:43.519 lose to this team that was supposed to just get 853 00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:44.480 ship stamped. 854 00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:47.480 Right, So I think if you're NDSU, sure, you know, 855 00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:49.400 you go into the red for a little bit, but 856 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.400 now you're gonna have reinvigorated ticket sales. You're gonna have 857 00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:54.320 reinvagan reinor sales. 858 00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:56.679 That's where I was gonna go with this. Your cost 859 00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:00.440 to attend a NDSU game, though, probably just got more expensive. 860 00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.679 Yeah, if it doubled, it would surprise me. But at 861 00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:05.159 the same time, if you're if you're an NDSU fan, 862 00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.440 let's not say you're born and raised in Fargo, you're 863 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:10.159 thirty five years old, it's you know, it's kind of 864 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:12.880 like small town feel to it, where it's really like, 865 00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:15.000 sure you watch the Vikings, where you watch the Packers. 866 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.199 You got a favorite baseball team, favorite hockey team, but 867 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.239 really at your core, NDSU is your favorite. 868 00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:20.480 Team to watch. 869 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.559 University of Wyoming Sure, Craig Bowl. 870 00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:26.559 I want to say, if he was not on here 871 00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:29.000 on the Bierboy Sports Radio Network, we have the Bison 872 00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:32.239 Bits with TJ just who is a die hard Bison 873 00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:35.800 fan who does all the Bison stuff.

You can find all bad good plug by 877 00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:47.280 the way too. I'm glad I came up organically, but 878 00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:48.239 now you know, you. 879 00:41:48.519 --> 00:41:51.079 Take that and it just there. 880 00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.639 I have seen some on some of the different Bison 881 00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:57.199 fan groups. Some of the fans are like, great, now 882 00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.519 we're gonna have some kind of ploid to prove or 883 00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:03.039 update or whatever the Fargo domes.

Yeah, you cost you 905 00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:58.039 five thousand dollars media passes to make this work. 906 00:42:58.199 --> 00:42:59.719 I wonder who would be donating. 907 00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:01.599 This is a serious question, Fluids. 908 00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:05.599 If NYSU hosted a college football playoff game, would the 909 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:08.320 cheapest ticket to that game be more expensive than a 910 00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:09.119 super Bowl game? 911 00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:11.760 I bet you'd be right on par. 912 00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:13.519 It would have to be close, right, because the super 913 00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.480 Bowl is gonna cost you probably four figures to get in. 914 00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:17.840 Right, Oh, yeah, it's super Bowl. I think it's at 915 00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:21.480 least I think it was three four thousand. Was the 916 00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:22.239 cheap tickets? 917 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:24.039 Was that the cheap? Okay? So the super Bowl's probably 918 00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:26.800 still got a beat, But there's I bet you. 919 00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.239 Locally it'd probably cost you twenty five hundred. 920 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:31.519 But I don't think you're getting cheaper than twenty five hundred. 921 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:33.440 I think that is that's the number I was thinking too, 922 00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:36.559 where it's like it's and and good for them, like 923 00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:38.960 that's in a grand we're talking resale at that point, right, 924 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:42.239 But uh, you know that's that's fun, and you know, 925 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.440 you hope that other schools who are at that level 926 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:48.000 kind of take that an issue, like STSU should. 927 00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:48.800 Be next they're there. 928 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:51.840 I've read a lot of things that now that North 929 00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.280 Dakota finally made the jump, people are looking a little 930 00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:57.559 south and going, what about you Brookides. 931 00:43:57.599 --> 00:43:59.480 I think they would, but not they would. 932 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:03.199 Teams that I've seen mentioned are Montana and Montana State. Yes, 933 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.239 and from what I've read, one won't do it without 934 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:07.559 the other. 935 00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:11.880 And two thousand and five, with the move from D 936 00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:15.199 two to to the FCS, it was a packaged deal 937 00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:19.800 to bring U, NDSU and st SU up together. And 938 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:23.360 I think USD and U and D were the same 939 00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:27.360 type of program, but they basically had and I know 940 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:29.320 for sure two thousand and five it was NDSU and 941 00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:32.360 US and st SU all had move up at the 942 00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:34.800 same time. It was a weird packaging. Gotch Well. 943 00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:38.679 It makes sense though from a logistics standpoint in scheduling, 944 00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:43.079 because it's one you know, Okay, so now in North 945 00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:49.679 Dakota they're gonna have to go to Honolulu next year. Yeah, 946 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:54.440 you know, I think I think Wyoming's coming here. 947 00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:55.840 I don't know. 948 00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:57.039 I haven't seen the schedule. 949 00:44:57.719 --> 00:44:58.079 It's out. 950 00:44:58.159 --> 00:44:59.519 I know that it's I know it's out. I didn't 951 00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:00.679 look at it, but yeah it. 952 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:03.760 Was yeah, because there's Oh, it's great. 953 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:06.559 The thing is, though, and to tie this back into 954 00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:08.639 the CCCHA, because I do have a segue back into 955 00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:13.199 the CCHA with this, the like North Dakota State now 956 00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:16.000 has to figure out the level of players they can recruit. 957 00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.360 And it's very similar to when Bimidgie State made the 958 00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:21.840 jump to the WCCHA, where you know they're playing small 959 00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:24.760 conference hockey, they're playing against the same teams every year. 960 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:26.960 Right now, you jump up into a conference that's half 961 00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.360 of it's filled with essentially blue bloods of college hockey. 962 00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:31.960 You start thinking, hey, maybe we can go compete with 963 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:34.280 them in recruiting. And for sure, some of the kids 964 00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:36.719 you can, but there's other kids that want the blue 965 00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:39.199 blood tradition to go with it. Right So you can't 966 00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:42.119 just say because I'm in the Mountain West, now I 967 00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.320 can get only Mountain West players on a roster. You 968 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.280 still have to do your due diligence for kids playing 969 00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:48.320 nine man football in Northern Minnesota, where they don't have 970 00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:51.119 a scout and two hundred miles watching them, right, And 971 00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:53.840 that's the same for the CCCHA is right now for 972 00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:57.440 Bimigi State, you go into the WHA, the WHA dispands 973 00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:58.760 and even though they had the name for what for 974 00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:01.760 four or five more years, it's essentially the CCHA R. 975 00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:05.079 The CCHA was okay. Each time that there's been a 976 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.320 seismic shift in college hockey, they've had to learn the 977 00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:10.079 level of recruits that they can commit. And now there 978 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.440 was another big turning point in that last summer again 979 00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:17.159 essentially last November, where the CCHL opens up, so players 980 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:19.400 from the WHL, players from the OHL, and players from 981 00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:21.679 the QMGHL are now eligible to play college hockey. 982 00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:23.360 Do you know what that is different? 983 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:24.280 I can explain it. 984 00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.639 It's the it's the Canadian Junior. 985 00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:28.800 Do you know what the USHL is, Yes? Do you 986 00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:31.760 know what the NAHL is. It's a tier right below 987 00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:37.320 the USHL for American junior hockey. The HL is the 988 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.360 USAHL of Canada, but there's three leagues instead of one, 989 00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:44.480 and then there's like the BHL, the AJHL, the MGHL. 990 00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:45.559 The you know, the SJHL. 991 00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:48.039 Those are all tier two junior leagues on par with 992 00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:51.800 the nall the CHL kids for I don't know ever, 993 00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:53.119 at least for years. 994 00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:56.239 And years until about the mid two thousands. 995 00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:59.400 Right, they were not allowed to play college hockey because 996 00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:02.840 they were either making too much money to play CHL 997 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.360 hockey or they were playing against players that were making 998 00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.400 too much money because a lot of those CHL players 999 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.239 were signed to NHL contracts already and then going you know, 1000 00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:13.639 basically assigned back to their CCHL team to withhold another 1001 00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:15.880 year of their rights or their team control. So if 1002 00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.599 you're playing, it was a big faux pa in the 1003 00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:21.840 NCAA that you can't play against kids making eight hundred 1004 00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:24.559 thousand dollars a year. It broke the amateurism rules. It's 1005 00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:26.400 the same reason why you can't go win the Birchmont 1006 00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:30.079 and go, you know, call yourself an amateur golfer, or sorry, 1007 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:32.840 you can't go win a pro golf meet and then 1008 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:34.960 go play in the Berchemont and call yourself an amateur golfer. 1009 00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:40.039 So and then because what was it we were talking 1010 00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:42.360 Bruce Dustin and I were talking about this last week 1011 00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:49.360 with it kind of coincided. Well, no, the shift which 1012 00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:53.519 led to what you're describing was in the mid two 1013 00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.800 thousands when you started to see the shift of college 1014 00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.599 hockey and its influence on the NHL. 1015 00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:02.559 No, you're good, I'm gonna I haven't recorded, so I'm 1016 00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:03.960 gonna perfect. 1017 00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:08.079 But so in the because prior to the mid to 1018 00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:10.920 late two thousands, it was very rare to see a 1019 00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:16.679 kid that played NCUA eight hockey. You'd have a couple 1020 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:18.679 here and there, but by and large, you weren't seeing 1021 00:48:18.840 --> 00:48:21.880 large numbers making an impact in the NHL. 1022 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:24.679 Right it was what was at thirty percent of college 1023 00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:27.079 hockey players have played pro. They played that commercial all 1024 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:29.239 the they played during the state tournament for years and 1025 00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.159 years and years, and it was like Matt Reid was 1026 00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.199 in some of those commercials, you know, to bring it 1027 00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.360 back to but Mane State too. Yeah, No, you're you're 1028 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.360 spot on. That number is going to grow significantly. You 1029 00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:41.559 look ten fifteen years down the road, that number is 1030 00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:45.559 absolutely going to grow because now CHL kids that aren't drafted, 1031 00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:48.760 basically we're not talking like anybody who isn't like a 1032 00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:52.039 bona fide first two round pick if they run out 1033 00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.719 of HL eligibility, even if they're under team controlled by 1034 00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:56.760 the NHL team that's taken them. Do they want to 1035 00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:59.239 give a more runway to develop, get bigger, faster, stronger, 1036 00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.800 play against kids that are twenty four or twenty five 1037 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:04.239 years old in college instead of kids that are sixteen, seventeen, 1038 00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:06.840 eighteen year old old in the COCHL. They're gonna do that, 1039 00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:08.639 and it's gonna give him a little It just extends 1040 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:09.159 the runway. 1041 00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:13.280 And that's when Don Luccia, who at the time was 1042 00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:17.920 still the Golfers head coach. It was him York from Boston, 1043 00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:22.639 and one or two other coaches that were just it 1044 00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:25.320 would have what they were proposing would have really screwed 1045 00:49:25.360 --> 00:49:28.239 the Bemidges of the college hockey world because they wanted 1046 00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:32.880 to limit how old kids could be. Yeah, coming down. 1047 00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:36.280 The funny thing is when we were talking about our podcast, 1048 00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.199 the CZCHA Reporters, car I interviewed a twenty five year 1049 00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:41.400 old playing for Minnesota State today twenty. 1050 00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:41.800 Five years old. 1051 00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:44.840 He's a twenty five year old senior playing college hockey 1052 00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:47.960 super senior. The kids that are playing in the CHL 1053 00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:51.440 again are playing sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen year old kids 1054 00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:53.360 with a handful of twenty year old kids right like 1055 00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:57.239 that is a massive jump in size, speed, strength, everything, 1056 00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:59.400 right and so well. 1057 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.760 At twenty five old, isn't a kid anymore, right, it's 1058 00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:07.400 a grown man grown right, So you know it's interesting. 1059 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:09.920 But to bring it back to again the CHL part, 1060 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:12.199 like this is another shift in college hockey because the 1061 00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:15.119 playerpool essentially got a thousand players bigger. You can take 1062 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:17.039 all the kids from the CCHL, any of them can 1063 00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:19.320 come play college hockey. That's where Gavin McKenna came from. 1064 00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:21.840 That's where Oliver pier in a lot of rispects came from. 1065 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:24.840 Now Oliver, the playerpool is even bigger than that though, 1066 00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:27.360 because if you if you play CHL you're not good 1067 00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.039 enough to sign a pro contract, or maybe you don't 1068 00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:30.840 want to go play in the EHL, you can go 1069 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:32.960 play U Sports and the HL will pay for your 1070 00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:35.719 scholarship to go play you sports. It's however many years 1071 00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:37.480 you do in the CHL is however many years the 1072 00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:39.320 CCHL will pay for you to go play U sports. 1073 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:42.880 U Sports is just Canadian college hockey. It was described 1074 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:45.079 to me as the most physical hockey league in all 1075 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:48.199 of Canada because it's all kids with either no skill 1076 00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:51.039 who are just big, tough and will be part of you. 1077 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:54.239 Or kids who are really undersized, really smart, but maybe 1078 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:56.159 don't have the skill to go with it. But you know, 1079 00:50:56.519 --> 00:50:59.039 it's it's just like a step doun think D three hockey, 1080 00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:02.199 think you know that kind of hockey, right, But there 1081 00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:03.920 are kids that play in the sports. 1082 00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:10.679 Because you're talking about Canadian hockey, Canadian hockey. Ever, if 1083 00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:12.960 you're gonna have a shot at going pro, you're not 1084 00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:14.400 playing you sports correct. 1085 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:19.119 Never, it's very, very very if you're a kid. 1086 00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:23.000 That's got anything any sort of potential, you're playing major juniors. 1087 00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:24.840 Right You're playing major juniors when you're signing when you're 1088 00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:27.920 like nineteen years old. Right right now, there are kids 1089 00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.079 that like Oliver Pier. And Oliver Pier is the best 1090 00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:32.599 example of this, and he's Vivigi State's best player this year. 1091 00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:34.840 He's nineteen goals. There's only a handful of kids in 1092 00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:36.719 the country who have scored more goals in Oliver Pier. 1093 00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:40.039 At seventeen years old, Oliver Pier was playing Triple A hockey. 1094 00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.280 He grew up in you know, Ontario. He wanted to 1095 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.840 play in the ohl. He said he sat there and 1096 00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:48.800 watched all fifteen rounds of the OHL draft, didn't get picked. 1097 00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:51.280 So he's like, okay, well I'll go play in the OJHL. 1098 00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:54.079 I'll go play you know, junior A hockey. Well, all 1099 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:56.239 the OJHL teams were like, well you didn't get picked 1100 00:51:56.280 --> 00:51:58.920 playing in you know the OHL, Well you're not good 1101 00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:00.880 enough to play in the OJHL. I'll go play Triple A. 1102 00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:03.639 And A's seventeen years old, the COVID year which got canceled. 1103 00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:05.760 He was sitting there playing Triple A hockey, and he 1104 00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.559 was sitting there with three acceptance letters to local colleges 1105 00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:11.679 being like, I don't like nobody wants me. I'm just 1106 00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:13.440 gonna go to school and pick up a degree. Because 1107 00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:15.800 what's the point of keeping playing hockey at Triple A 1108 00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:18.000 if I'm playing with kids that are three years younger 1109 00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:20.039 than me, right, And so he's like, you know what, 1110 00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:22.239 I'll give it one more year. I'll give it the summer. 1111 00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:24.119 I'll think about it. And he's going around, he's skating 1112 00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:29.440 with his friends in Ontario and he is practicing in August. 1113 00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:32.239 He's practicing in front of a windsor spitfires coach or 1114 00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:34.800 a scout for the in the OHL, and the stout 1115 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:36.480 comes up to him and says who are you and 1116 00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:38.480 he goes, I don't know. He goes, well, where are 1117 00:52:38.480 --> 00:52:39.760 you playing next year? He goes, I don't know. I 1118 00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:41.880 don't have a spot. And they're like, well, come to 1119 00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:44.119 our camp because I'm pretty sure you can make this team. 1120 00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:44.920 So he goes. 1121 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:48.079 So he goes to Windsor, makes the team, signs there. 1122 00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.440 He said he crushed it at camp. And then eight 1123 00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:53.480 months later he's playing in the OHL Finals against Wyatt 1124 00:52:53.519 --> 00:52:56.679 Johnston and Wyatt Johnson's on his team's and er Jack 1125 00:52:56.760 --> 00:52:59.920 I bonafied NHL Or they're playing in their Hamilton versus 1126 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:02.760 the OHL finals. And then two months after that he's 1127 00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:06.079 at the Pittsburgh Penguins development camp. Like this kid just 1128 00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:09.679 developed a lot later than everybody else, and it's it's 1129 00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:10.719 no fault of anybody. 1130 00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:12.119 Some kids it just takes a. 1131 00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:12.760 Little bit longer. 1132 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.039 We call him late bloomers, right, They're called late bloomers 1133 00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:17.920 for a reason. And now he wasn't ready to go 1134 00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:21.000 play HL hockey or even EHL hockey when his time 1135 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.679 the CHL was done. He needed another year to get 1136 00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:26.000 his feet under him. He goes and plays U sports, 1137 00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:28.559 tears it up and when the CHL rule change. Now 1138 00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:31.159 he can come play college hockey Division one and Bimigie 1139 00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:32.480 State was right on it. They got him in the 1140 00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:34.880 door and he's like, holy shit, this is awesome, Like 1141 00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:36.840 I don't have to play in front of two hundred 1142 00:53:36.880 --> 00:53:40.320 people anymore in nowhere in Canada, Like I mean two hundred. 1143 00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:42.840 It was at the Friday night Saint Thomas game. 1144 00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:45.079 Twenty five hundred there for that, I don't know. 1145 00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:50.760 Said so they include season ticket holders, it doesn't pay. 1146 00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:52.800 It also includes like media members and all the players 1147 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:57.119 on the benches and stuff. So is one to attendance 1148 00:53:57.159 --> 00:54:01.280 starts at three hundred every game. So but you know, 1149 00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:03.840 now you look at a kid like that, though, and 1150 00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:06.440 he's when whenever he's done in college, whether it's after 1151 00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:08.320 this year, after next year, after the year after that, 1152 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:10.719 whenever he is, he's going to sign an AHL deal 1153 00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.480 because now he's good enough to sign it. And it's 1154 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:14.599 like that just gave him the runway. That is a 1155 00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:18.920 perfect BMIJI State kid. Because the big schools aren't gonna 1156 00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:19.760 pay attention to you sports. 1157 00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:20.360 They don't have to. 1158 00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:22.880 They can get they can get the younger, hotshot kids 1159 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:26.239 that can come in and we're a little bit more guaranteed. 1160 00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:27.880 Most of their kids will be ready to step in 1161 00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:31.079 within a year or two. They might need a year 1162 00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:33.480 or two of juniors, but they'll be ready to play 1163 00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:37.039 Major dal one hockey. Yeah by the time they're nineteen. 1164 00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:38.960 Yeah, you should just have Scott on your show or something. 1165 00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:41.119 I've done this a lot. 1166 00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.480 We're gonna skip a couple of beers anyways. 1167 00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:48.679 Bimiji State plays Augustanda of this week and it series 1168 00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:53.039 in aug That's the opening round to the repeat of 1169 00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:53.519 last year. 1170 00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:57.320 It's a rematch of last year's game with passion. I 1171 00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:58.280 graduated from there. 1172 00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.400 I know. That's why I said it's looking at for it. 1173 00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:02.119 So anyway, will you good a series? 1174 00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:05.840 Yeah, it'll be fine. All right, let's do quickly through 1175 00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:07.000 the wild while they're back. 1176 00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:10.119 We have a new franchise goals leader. 1177 00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:12.400 Oh yeah, probably I was gonna place que I didn't 1178 00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:12.880 play this first. 1179 00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:15.119 This is why we're in the state of hockey. Deer buds, 1180 00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:17.239 it's time to talk about you mean he throw it 1181 00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:17.760 a wild? 1182 00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:19.880 Holy shit? 1183 00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:22.840 We crowd chan is the best version of the goal song. 1184 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:23.119 Yeah. 1185 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:27.559 I don't hate shout, I really don't. 1186 00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:29.000 This is way better. 1187 00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:30.960 It is better, But I don't hate shout. I think 1188 00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:32.039 it's over hated. 1189 00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:38.280 This got a little diluted league wide. When ever, the 1190 00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:41.320 Islanders started using it too, because the Islanders US crowd 1191 00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:45.480 chan as well. However, Carill caprice off number ninety seven 1192 00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:48.880 has two hundred and twenty career goals now, which makes 1193 00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:51.920 him the loan leader for franchise school. 1194 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:57.079 Yeah, that's what he said, which is, if. 1195 00:55:57.039 --> 00:56:00.800 You think about it, in the twenty six seasons, we've 1196 00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:04.280 had the Wild back now, who have, as I've told 1197 00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.199 you guys before, have been here as long now as 1198 00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:11.000 the original North Stars iteration is in Minnesota, fucking shut 1199 00:56:11.079 --> 00:56:14.840 the fuck up nineteen sixty seven to nineteen ninety two. 1200 00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:18.119 The Wild have been here as long now. So let 1201 00:56:18.239 --> 00:56:21.840 it go, Let it go. But Norm Green still sucks. 1202 00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:24.440 I would say, like you you're so hell bent on him, 1203 00:56:24.480 --> 00:56:25.760 like you hate him with a passion. 1204 00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:29.639 Yeah, fucking Norman Green. But so in twenty six years 1205 00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:34.920 we've had two players that have gotten to two hundred 1206 00:56:34.920 --> 00:56:37.960 and nineteen goals. That's a tough stretch. 1207 00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:40.760 Is a tough stretch. So they beat the hell out 1208 00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:42.480 of the Lightning, which Lightning are generally a good team, 1209 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.320 aren't they. Yeah, Okay, they kicked the hell out of 1210 00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:49.000 them and they lost the Blues on Sunday one to three. 1211 00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:52.599 Not gonna play against the Golden Knights in La in 1212 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:53.360 Las Vegas. 1213 00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:55.960 Vegas has not beaten a team in a playoff position 1214 00:56:56.039 --> 00:56:57.039 since November twentieth. 1215 00:56:57.119 --> 00:56:58.079 That's all right, I've been good. 1216 00:56:58.199 --> 00:57:02.400 It's finally good that they're experience in some adversity and. 1217 00:57:02.440 --> 00:57:03.400 They lost mark Stone. 1218 00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:08.360 Good again. Well he'll come back to playoffs. Tho. Ch oh. Good. 1219 00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:10.320 He's actually hurt now. 1220 00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:14.559 So starting this season, you have to be cap compliant 1221 00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:15.880 in the playoffs as well. 1222 00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:19.239 You can't use the lt IR kind of kind of 1223 00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:22.599 there's you're you're, you're almost there. You can use lt 1224 00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:25.079 i R up to twenty five percent of a player's 1225 00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:28.320 contract through the end of the regular season. Then you 1226 00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:31.239 can like you can go twenty five percent over per player. 1227 00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:33.360 So if mark Stone's making eight million a year, they 1228 00:57:33.400 --> 00:57:35.159 can use two million of it for lt i R 1229 00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:37.480 through the rest of the year unless he's out through 1230 00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:38.880 the end of the playoffs, and then they can use 1231 00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:39.559 all eight million. 1232 00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:40.920 I did not go back. 1233 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:44.280 He can't be sitting on IR right now and then 1234 00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:46.840 come back right They can't. They can't add a player 1235 00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:48.760 what they did with a few years ago. 1236 00:57:48.840 --> 00:57:49.079 Correct. 1237 00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:50.960 They can't add a player worth three million and then 1238 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:53.000 bring Stone back and then be a million dollars over 1239 00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:55.320 the cap. Right, But if Stone doesn't come back, same 1240 00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:58.599 with what they did with Petraangelo. Petraangelo is just done 1241 00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.119 done now saying with Tyler Sagan, it's doubt. It's like 1242 00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:04.320 you can shelve that money.

Yeah, gost looked 1255 00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:42.840 really good. 1256 00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:47.280 Looks good. So to that point, the name floated around 1257 00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.039 as our major trade chip is yesper do you I 1258 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:55.320 watched did you watch the T n T broadcast? And 1259 00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:59.599 how Hank Hendrik Lundquist was like, I wouldn't mess with that, 1260 00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:02.920 though they've got good chemistry between Gustafson and Walston. 1261 00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:04.760 If you're not getting a first line center, I don't 1262 00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.400 even consider it. And then even then you have to 1263 00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:10.360 really consider it for to get rid of Aalstat. The 1264 00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:13.519 thing there, there's like one deal I can think of 1265 00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:16.559 that I would take for Valstat, and it would be, 1266 00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:18.880 first of all, I think you actually need a goalie 1267 00:59:18.880 --> 00:59:22.920 coming back in return, Mike Fisher. Mike Fisher, you need 1268 00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.039 a goalie coming back. And I think there is one 1269 00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:29.840 trade that could work, and it would be Volstadt, straym 1270 00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:33.039 al pick prospect right loaded up. It has to be 1271 00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:35.559 a big package, probably maybe even a Hartman going back. 1272 00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:38.159 That's why you added depth center yesterday. And then you 1273 00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:41.719 get Robert Thomas from the Blues, and you also get 1274 00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:43.239 Jordan Bennington coming back. 1275 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:47.199 I don't know, I've seen Bennington's name mentioned. 1276 00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:51.280 I don't think either of them are going to get traded, 1277 00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:53.679 and it would be it'd be like, oh, really Bennington. 1278 00:59:53.280 --> 01:00:00.119 Because nobody especially right but welcome. But he's also so 1279 01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:03.400 the do you think him and Fleur would fight and practice? 1280 01:00:03.440 --> 01:00:06.320 It would be like they if for some reason, Biddington 1281 01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:07.800 ends up in a Wild jersey and they don't do 1282 01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:10.239 like one of those like little social videos where they 1283 01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:13.000 just kind of fight like that would be a disservice. 1284 01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:16.960 There was so many people on social media during the 1285 01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:21.800 Olympics because Fleury still lives in Minnesoti practices he was. 1286 01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:25.559 He was doing it the whole Olympics because two of 1287 01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:28.480 our three goalies were gone, well three of our four goalies, 1288 01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:33.360 because our top HL goalie plays for Slovakia, which apparently 1289 01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:35.280 they're saying that the Wild are very high on him. 1290 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:39.199 And if if they did trade false, Yeah, they would. 1291 01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:41.400 Still have cal Peterson to who they signed as like 1292 01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:44.800 a depth goalie to like all these catches with his. 1293 01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:46.199 Right hand, which what's wrong with that? 1294 01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:47.960 It just makes me weirds me. 1295 01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:48.199 Out on. 1296 01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:50.199 The right hand. 1297 01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:53.480 Really. Yeah, but you guys didn't play goalie, No, his 1298 01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:54.039 brother did. 1299 01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:55.639 I played goalie. 1300 01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:57.800 You guys all got a few screws loose. 1301 01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:01.199 Sure, what does your brother? What does your brother play in? 1302 01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:01.960 Grand Rapids? 1303 01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:04.280 Yeah, that's what I thought, see just from my dad 1304 01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:09.119 grew up well, Scott, what else do you who never mind? 1305 01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:11.960 Best friend growing up? 1306 01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:12.239 Yeah? 1307 01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:12.920 The Wild they're good. 1308 01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:15.360 They're really good and hopefully Vince and trow Checks and 1309 01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:19.039 Green and Yellow. You see these kids, Well, I'm not 1310 01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:20.000 getting traded. 1311 01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.440 Like what, I got a team here. 1312 01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:25.000 Troe Check is the perfect thing. 1313 01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:25.679 Perfect. 1314 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:27.320 It's the problem is that he doesn't want to play 1315 01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:31.239 in the West. He's older though too, so yeah, he's. 1316 01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:32.440 Only five and a half million a year. 1317 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:34.719 Right, But there's a lot of people are like, oh, 1318 01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:38.559 you got to give up a number one to get him. No, no, 1319 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:40.480 you're not giving up a first round for one. We 1320 01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:42.639 don't have one to give up. They do have one more. 1321 01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:48.039 I actually everybody, you know, I listen to a lot 1322 01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:50.880 of NHL pod thirty two Thoughts is my favorite podcast ever. 1323 01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:53.719 No offense to this one or my own podcast. 1324 01:01:54.159 --> 01:01:56.400 But the Adelson my own either. 1325 01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:00.880 Everybody keeps saying it's a buyer's and if teams are 1326 01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:03.079 Paigi and the prices are going to get lower, nothing 1327 01:02:03.159 --> 01:02:05.440 has told us this is a buyer's market with uh, 1328 01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:09.199 you know, Michael McCarran getting a second round pick, like sure, 1329 01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:11.440 I guess it's a feels like a depth center need. 1330 01:02:11.480 --> 01:02:12.880 He can win a lot of face offs. He's not 1331 01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:15.280 worth a second round pick, and Tyler Myers is not 1332 01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:17.039 worth a second round pick and a fourth round pick 1333 01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:20.000 for the Dallas Stars Cole Smith, who I was on 1334 01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:22.480 my high school team playing for Renard. He is not 1335 01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:25.039 worth a third round pick, probably just in the context 1336 01:02:25.079 --> 01:02:28.039 of NHL trades like it's so, it's not necessarily a 1337 01:02:28.119 --> 01:02:29.880 buyer's market, and I think the price for troe Check 1338 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:32.360 is steep. It starts with strayml. You probably have to 1339 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:34.760 give him another center going back, and it's likely Nico 1340 01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:37.320 Storm in that sense, because why would you add McCarran. 1341 01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:42.400 Ifout it and then sterms specialty. Why he got brought 1342 01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:44.760 back was face offs. He was the number four ring 1343 01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:48.639 center last season in faceoff percentage, So that's why they 1344 01:02:48.719 --> 01:02:49.440 went and got him. 1345 01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:51.960 Because do you wonder if he's still banged up because 1346 01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:54.199 he didn't start the year healthy because it hasn't gone 1347 01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:55.079 as well as it should have. 1348 01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:57.800 No, he was brought in for to be a role 1349 01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:02.000 player though, right you know, I'm sure the Olympics in 1350 01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:04.239 Germany didn't help him a whole lot either. 1351 01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:05.199 No, definitely not. 1352 01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:07.280 The Delanhill goal was sick. 1353 01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:08.079 I saw that too. 1354 01:03:08.159 --> 01:03:09.679 I think Delan was gonna win the state title. 1355 01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:14.280 Do what we can actually get into the high school hockey. 1356 01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:15.280 That the next thing. 1357 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:22.119 We'll finish our thought here. But I don't storm second 1358 01:03:22.440 --> 01:03:24.800 go around with us. He was brought back for one reason, 1359 01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:27.719 one reason alone was to win face offs and cup experience. 1360 01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:34.320 Right, that too, because Colorado and Florida. Yeah, Florida last year, right, 1361 01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:35.800 I don't think he won two in Florida. 1362 01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:37.960 I think Florida. He was, he was in Colorado two 1363 01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:38.400 years ago. 1364 01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:41.840 Yeah, but you can't have enough guys like that though, 1365 01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:42.920 You really can't. 1366 01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:45.440 Right, But that's why they went out and got Tarasenko 1367 01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:46.440 though too as well. 1368 01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:48.440 And he's been like he was a slow start, but 1369 01:03:48.519 --> 01:03:51.239 then like he's finally coming around, right Is he back 1370 01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:53.119 to his prime or he can't. 1371 01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:55.679 His back is too fucked up for that. I mean 1372 01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:57.119 he looks old when he plays. 1373 01:03:57.199 --> 01:04:00.320 Oh great so, but but if. 1374 01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:02.920 They play Dallas, he always goes off against Dallas. 1375 01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:04.440 It's it just sucks. 1376 01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:05.320 It's not one eight. 1377 01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:08.920 It just sucks that they really I listen to Worst 1378 01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:12.039 Seats in the House with do they bitch about it all? 1379 01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:16.840 Russo or not? Russel la panta loathes the current format? Yeah, 1380 01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:19.400 me too, it should be I fully agree one to 1381 01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:22.639 eight to seven. Yeah, bring it back. There's no reason 1382 01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:26.719 because right now the Western Conference it one, two, three 1383 01:04:27.159 --> 01:04:28.000 is two. 1384 01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:29.599 Of the top three teams in the Western Conference are 1385 01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:31.119 not going to make the Western. 1386 01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:33.360 Conference because two of the three of them or all 1387 01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.400 three of them are in the Central Division, right and yeah, 1388 01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:37.119 and even if you. 1389 01:04:37.159 --> 01:04:39.239 Want to reward a division winner, where you do, okay, 1390 01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:41.360 the top division winner gets the one, the top division 1391 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:43.639 division winner gets the two, the rest are seated three 1392 01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:44.760 through three through eight. 1393 01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:47.239 I'm fine with that, Like that's like if you should 1394 01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:48.679 mean something to win your division. 1395 01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:50.880 Sure, it shouldn't be like the NBA where divisions don't 1396 01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:52.840 matter at all and they're they're for nothing, like that's 1397 01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:57.000 that's stupid. But yeah, no, it sucks. But I actually, 1398 01:04:57.079 --> 01:04:59.800 I don't know, I feel more confident this year. But 1399 01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:06.360 Quinn Hughes is just like lights out, like it's it's hard. 1400 01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:09.599 I don't even know how he skates like that, Like 1401 01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:12.519 it's how does how is he physically capable of skating 1402 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:12.760 like that? 1403 01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:14.199 Like it's it's just fucking insane. 1404 01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:16.639 There was a lot of people that are like, what's 1405 01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:19.320 going on with Krill after we got Hughes and whatnot? 1406 01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:21.719 He because Hughes is going to take a lot of 1407 01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:22.880 focus off, right. 1408 01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:24.039 But it's fine.

But I'll leave 1456 01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:16.440 it at that because I don't want to get in 1457 01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:19.960 trouble with the powers that be, So the powers I'll 1458 01:07:19.960 --> 01:07:22.320 take my powers at be. 1459 01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:25.599 I'll take Minnetonka. 1460 01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:27.519 I be honest, I didn't see any brackets. 1461 01:07:27.880 --> 01:07:34.760 Yeah, skippers, there's like Minnetonka more Head, Uh, probably Dina 1462 01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:35.360 could win it. 1463 01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:37.679 Like there's a lot of teams that could win it. 1464 01:07:37.719 --> 01:07:39.599 It's a it's a great field, it's a great tournament 1465 01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:40.559 outside of Minnetaka. 1466 01:07:40.639 --> 01:07:42.000 Gentry sucks. So like Gentry's not. 1467 01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:46.079 Gonna be private schools, right, I don't care. But it's 1468 01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:49.000 the old meme you see going around Facebook this time 1469 01:07:49.079 --> 01:07:53.360 here state hockey tournament playoff where everyone hates the Metro 1470 01:07:53.960 --> 01:07:56.079 but every or when the North hates the Metro but 1471 01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:57.159 everybody hates the Dina. 1472 01:07:57.320 --> 01:07:57.440 Right. 1473 01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:00.119 That's that was one of my favorite things, not the 1474 01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:02.280 Dyna stuff, but that came out of girls state hockey. 1475 01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:06.159 I'll tell this really quick story, and there's where we 1476 01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:09.360 were talking after the war Rold beat Dodge County in 1477 01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:13.239 overtime in the Class A semi finals. Those two teams 1478 01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:15.480 had played in the last two state championship games, and 1479 01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:17.800 the Dodge County coach comes in and he's like, yeah, 1480 01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:20.000 I know. To be honest, I was hoping that our 1481 01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:22.199 seatings would shake out in the way that you know, 1482 01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:24.680 war Road would get one of Brecker Blake and we'd 1483 01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:26.399 get one of the others of Black or Blake. We'd 1484 01:08:26.399 --> 01:08:27.880 both take out of private school and meet in the 1485 01:08:27.880 --> 01:08:30.840 state championship again. So even on the coach level. There's 1486 01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:33.039 still a little bit of resemmant towards the private schools, 1487 01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:35.359 which warms my heart as a Northern Minnesota. 1488 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:37.640 They really need to have their own conference. 1489 01:08:38.680 --> 01:08:40.439 Yeah, but then you take away the villains, like you 1490 01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:44.319 have to. Sports needs villain, right, But nobody hates he 1491 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:46.720 Dina that much. Like if he Dina plays gentry, everybody's 1492 01:08:46.760 --> 01:08:48.720 cheering for you Dina because everybody. 1493 01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:51.239 That would hurt me. I'll tell you I would, it 1494 01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:51.760 would hurt. 1495 01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:54.039 Most people wouldn't watch. But then if the people that 1496 01:08:54.079 --> 01:08:55.600 would be like, I guess, I'll take you Dine. 1497 01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:57.880 I'll tell you this.
