So do stick around for that.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Now, let's go around the sports k tod quints as
all the sports.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Three to one heading into the third period of the
Stars and the Edmonton Oilers last night, game one of
the Western Conference Finals, and Edmonton decided, you know what,
let's commit three or four crimes of passion and have
to go sit in the penalty box, and the Stars
did take advantage. They ended up winning the game six
to three.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Edible. It was a huge, huge.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Third period, obviously because I just told you the score,
but they got a goal early. I was thinking so
much about penalties and hockey and how import they've been
the Stars that I had some bad penalties in the
last series against Winnipeg Hockey penalties are short tempered crimes
of passion. They truly are a guy losing his mind
for a second, like football penal. They're coming off out
(01:16):
whatever in basketball or football. Oh man, I was just
trying to make stop the guy from going past. I
held him for a minute, and hockey all of these
are I got mad at this guy who just hip
checked me.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Somebody hit him in the face of my stick roll.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But you know, you know what, though, there's there's another
factor here. It's not just typical anger. It's typical anger
while you're on skates. Yeah, so you're already like in
a weird I mean, those guys are incredible on skates,
but you get what I'm saying. Yeah, you're already a
little unbalanced as it is, just not even metaphorically like
physically unbalanced.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So again, I don't know anything about hockey, but if
that's the case and the you know, when you're in penalty,
it's such a disadvantage. Are there guys who are just
agitators and that's one of their specialties is to try
to draw like flopping, but try to get you to
lose your temper, do things to you that don't get
caught by the rest.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Oh absolutely absolutely, And usually those guys are Americans. The
Canadians are too nice. They don't really say anything bad
about your mom or anything like that. But it's like
Jamie Beinn. For some reason, every playoffs has huge penalties
that really hurt the team. It didn't really happen yesterday,
but I couldn't believe how many times it had to
the oilers, which also made me think, Yeah, that's gonna
come back in the Stars direction in game two.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Because these series do even out.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I think Hockey's pretty good about that, like making sure
that it's not uneven.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They'll fix it in the next game.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I'm saying it's rigged, but there's calls they let go
and they don't just do instant replay.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Was this guy elbowed, they go ahead?
Speaker 4 (02:42):
I'm worried about at the end when they all started fighting,
I'm worried there's gonna be penalties for tomorrow night's game.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
From that, those guys were not ready to go home
after it was hilarious.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
They had a headlock going on, but then I was like,
oh crap, we might have penalties.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It could be good if you're gonna have a comeback
in the fourth quarter score a goal in the first
thirty seconds, you know what I'm saying. It was huge,
And I was flipping back and forth between that and
the NBA stuff, and I had a meeting afterwards. So
by the time I got home, you know, both games
were going and so I'm like trying to settle in.
I'm going, all right, I want to go back and
forth here, but you know, the in between periods and
(03:17):
hockey it's a pretty decent amount of time. So I was,
you know, settling in on the NBA game, and then
I flipped over right at the beginning of the third period,
and I had already missed a goal. Like I flipped
over right after that goal win, and I was like,
oh crap, okay three two, And then I flipped back
to the NBA game. I flipped back, Oh, okay, four
to three. They took a lead, like it happened so
(03:37):
f and fast, awesome.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
And that first goal by Sagan was incredible. He zoomed
on up there, just him and the goalie and got
it in.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
He's still going.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Who were the big stares of the game for him?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Who?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Tyler?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Sagan was huge? Yeah, I mean down the stretch it
was Otter though, your goalie who he gave up three
in the first two period, but like really good because
they had some good looks and he shut him down.
Otter is excellent. Edmonds is very good. So this is
like this supposed to be like a high scoring series two.
So it's very fun if you're like new to hockey
or trying to get into it, like you're gonna see
a lot of action.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
How can they hate each other as this? This was
the Western Conference Finals last year.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
They have the best player in hockey. Did he do anything?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Uh, Connor McDavid. I don't know if he did too much.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
If they have so many guys who are really good
in twenty fifteen too on their team, guys that you
might remember their names of back then from a decade ago. Dude,
the Pacers and the Knicks was happening game one of
the Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA Ryphas Stars.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Game's kind of flipping over there is like, Jesus, what
just happened?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Here's what happened. Listen to this stat This is the
craziest thing I've heard. Well, it's damn crazy. The Knicks
led by fourteen with two forty five to play, in
the fourth quarter. In the history of the playoffs, teams
up fourteen with two forty five left in the game
are nine hundred and ninety four. And oh, it's never
(04:56):
happened in nine hundred and ninety four playoff games in
which a team was up fourteen with two and a
half minutes ago. We're two forty five to go. This
is the first time in history, since they've kept track
of this, which is nineteen ninety seven, they call it
the play by play era, this is the first time
it's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
How'd it happened?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
It happened with it. So there's a guy, he's a
good player, but he's not a star. But Nesmith hit
eight of nine threes, including he hit five in about
a five minute span. It was just like wait, what,
So they'd started bombing threes and getting back into it.
In fact, Jalen Brunson went to the bench with five
fouls early in the fourth quarter and the Knicks went
(05:34):
on a huge run, and so it just looked like
it was dead in the water time and then suddenly
Nessmuth started bombing threes. They got all that momentum going back,
and then Tyrese Haliburton. Dude, he hit the craziest shot
and they thought it was a game winner, in which
the ball hit the back of the rim, shot up
in the air and dropped right through the hoop. But
(05:55):
his toe was on the line, so it went into
overtime and then they beat him in ah overtime. But
that was the craziest shot. It was eight seconds ago.
They were down by two. He dribbled the full length
of the court. He dribbled inside the paint, and then
like the three students, turned around and dribbled and shot
a turn around three at the end at the buzzer,
(06:16):
and it hits the back of the rim. I swear
to god, it left the camera view. The ball went
so high in the air you couldn't see it.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And then it just dropped through the rim.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
He does the choke sign to Spike Lee like Reggie
Miller did, and then everyone goes crazy. Then they have
to play overtime.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
This guy was voted most overhad player in the NBA
by players, right by NBA players.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
He was on Team USA and he barely played, but
I think there was probably a grudge on that. But
one quick thing, you know, when you do the choke
sign and then you have to go play again.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's bad.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And Carlisle was talking about after the game he goes
he has earned the right to say and do whatever
he wants.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Look at that alright, PG Mersey And who's your colonial
