She did have a very concerned look on her face,
just looking down like maybe she did see it and
then looked away.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I didn't see it. I was looking at something on
the computer that was being wonky. My keyboard has been
acting up. Remember when yours did that weird thing where
it would just make bizarre Yeah, So my pauses. So
I'll type a whole thing and then five letters are
all that actually went through, or or it'll add like
seven eyes if I type one eye and.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Then make every word really long. But there's and so I.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Think there's a battery. Isn't there a battery?

Oh see, there you go. You're welcome. That's lose Clark
State right there.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Impressive, missus.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Jordan would have talked to that freshman year high.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
School legitimately typing class that you took on a typewriter.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
We didn't. I don't even know what that is typing class.
I remember that those of you that do know the typewriters,
I'm with you to be on your your home keys.
I saw some documents that I typed out on a
typewriter as a kid that I kept.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, I still, how fast did you type back in
the day when.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I could probably if we do without air, a good
solid eighty letters?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I think.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Then now, kid, Yeah, well I should be I've typed
more things than yeah Ernest Henningway. So yeah, so yeah,
I'm good now, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I was sixty one words a minute in seventh Oh
I was best in seventh grade.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
How white out?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
There's a lot, a lot, but I'm remember we had
to reach out and hit the two team.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah hit that thing.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Oh I hit it?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Uh me and Aaron Donnelly we were racing. We both
wanted to be the fastest typers. Oh yeah, and I
plenty of white out, but in the speed test it
was always the same thing, so you could do that. Well,
they weren't, you know, far off. Home Row wasn't a
whole lot of capitalizing, you know, semi colon's and.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I feel bad for those guys on Home Row.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You do just serving the life road home Row.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I may have I may have screwed up some more.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah you were thinking it was no, it's just this
just home Row home road fingers understood now, Yeah, okay, good?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, you had to have them on your home keys,
and then you had to practice because you have to
like reach up to like R without looking R. Yeah,
you got to make sure you got that right and
be like T.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't even think, Yeah, I guess you do get
to a point where you don't think about it, obviously,
but yeah, I don't even I don't even know what letters.
I know where they all are, just by field, but
I couldn't even tell you across the.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Board asd F. I think is your left hand there
you go? Then g right inside of that?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
H nice? Oh boy j K yep L yeah, and
good job and well done last week. Hold on, yeah,
colon and I have one of those. You have one
of those? You have a normal colon. I have a
colon right.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Just me correct this because I don't want a bunch
of emails. Missus Sordan was our band teacher.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Angry.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Missus Wilson was our type right because and I remember that. Yeah,
I know, so sorry, stop with the hate mail. I
know I know all of Brighton's listening. But Missus Wilson,
I know that because she's the only person that ever
gave me a detention. I was like late to her
class because that was my chance to walk the girlfriend
(04:35):
you know, to her class, and so I always would
take that and then I would usually get there in time.
But three times a year, you better believe I was
a little late.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Okay, you know little here and there.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And I guess it was worth it.
But she didn't slap me with the detention like the
most well bathed GD in the history of Brighton, Illinois.
And missus Wilson is slapping my hands. She sounds like
she sucks being four seconds late, three different ties.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Also, because you only can type eighty letters a minute.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I think it's because she wanted me jealous, jealous of
Amanda coin Schoffler. She was jealous of her, Yes, Cochoffler, Yeah, wow,
the problem going for her? Freddy she was, yeah, Freddy
cochas Berger, coch Scherger, cocus Burger and it was actually
(05:26):
spelled with a P, and yet we always called it
cocus Burger, but I believe it was cocus Perger.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's ridiculous, that's not I guess.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
If you don't have a real name, you don't correct
the other. One's actually spelled Cokeers Perger. What k O
c h e R s p e r g e r.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
That is an abomination.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But we called them the Cochusburgers.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
But it was probably wouldn't even be in there.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Perger is probably what it was pronounced. Yeah, yeah, sure,
And you still think I'm making this up?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yesterday the full Burger, Yeah, fully fully burger, perfiction books.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You could have made up cocus Berger that you call
itch Berger.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why would I make up that crappy of a name.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I mean, I show when I'm like, that's the name
you came up?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Somebody made it up generations ago. Yeah, well why but
not to write a book about Like if you go
watch The Invention of Christmas and watch how Charles Dickens
couldn't write Christmas Carol until he got the name of
the villain exactly what he wanted it to be. Yeah. Yeah,
(06:35):
So he sat there and he toiled, and he had
a soft idea and until he came up with the
name Ebenezer Scrooge. It didn't take off. And then he
was like, now I got it. Now I can see him,
now I know him, Now I know his personality. Now
I can write the book funny List yesterday? Oh you should.
It's really good, It's very good. And so why would
(06:55):
I make up such crappy Cocusburger.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We might play another round of that this week. It's
come up twice now, But uh, I never realized how strange.
The people's names were that I grew up there, very strange,
and I guess they are like the strangest. Like Bucky
and Ashley are telling me Cochsberger sounds made up it. Well,
it's not. It's actually cokys Perger.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, you sound a way to make it worse, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Uh well, uh it went from hump Day to Cocas
Perker's uh back to hump Day. Uh it is the
Hawk's Colts. Everything's been about Phillip Rivers so far this week,
and understandably so. I mean that's just a sensational story.
But this Indianapolis Colts steam Bucky was falling apart before
Daniel Jones got hurt. I mean, they just started this
(07:47):
season like wildfire. Halfway through the year, they were right
there with the best record in the National Football League.
They were leading the NFL and points scored. Uh Daniel Jones,
I mean, uh, we talked for a couple of years
and Hugh really emphasized how that guy's in the worst
quarterback situation in the NFL and has been since he
(08:08):
got into the league. He's actually better than he looks.
And he gets to Indianapolis, he gets with Shane Steichen.
He gets around Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren,
and sure enough, the Indianapolis Colts were just flying high.
But they not one in a while. They are struggling.
They're a third place team, I mean seven and one start.
(08:28):
They're at eight and five right now, a third place team.
And that decline had started rapidly long before Daniel Jones
Torre's Achilles.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
This Sunday, Yeah, I mean they lost, I mean the
loss to Pittsburgh and then they beat Atlanta barely in overtime.
I remember watching that game, watching that overtime game and thinking, boy,
that didn't look like a team that was should be
eight and two right now. That's when I think the
conversations were, are they legit? Because they were right there,
(08:57):
they were top of the heat in the American League,
and then they the American League.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, they're right there, the Royal right there, yep, right there,
the Yankees. They might beat the Yankees. They they might
be the AFC.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, and yet then they they lose one to Kansas City,
Houston and Jacksonville. So those are kind of acceptable. Even
though the last last week after Daniel Jones goes down.
It was not even a contest. I mean, Jacksonville absolutely
rolled them. I almost took that game in factor fiction
because apparently, yeah good, it's something. It's like seventeen straight
(09:33):
times that they haven't won in Jacksonville, so it was
like I almost went with that. But that that aside,
they've kind of played some tough teams. I mean, Kansas
City at any point in time can go out and
beat anybody, I feel like, and Houston's just now kind
of getting right in. Jacksonville's right up there as well
as one of the better teams in the AFC. I
don't know how, but they are so to me, it's
(09:54):
like I wouldn't sleep on them when they're healthy. I
think there's some legitimacy to them being a set one team,
even though they've started to skid.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Basically, since I don't know Halloween well, I.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Would say two reactions to that. Number One, I mean,
you do have to face good teams in the league,
so if you can't beat them, then you're not nearly
as good as what your record might have indicated. So yeah,
maybe the competition is ramped up, but maybe you were
taking advantage of the soft competition. Earlier in the season,
and that was misleading to people that were putting them
at the top of their rankings list. The second thing
(10:27):
I would say is, I don't know if there's any
getting around this. I mean, they started the season offensively,
thirty three points, twenty nine points, forty one points they
had twenty against the Rams, forty thirty one, thirty eight,
thirty eight getting to seven and one. Those are some
gaudy numbers that they're putting up. And ever since that time,
twenty points thirty one against the Falcons twenty sixteen, nineteen,
(10:49):
and that's with Daniel Jones until halfway through a game
that the Jaguars were beating the pants off of them.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, they only had like three points or something when
you went out, didn't they? Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I think so? Yeah, and so offense. The league adjusted,
The league figured it out, and I'll give credit to
the talking head since we like to bash them so much.
It was week after a week of Jonathan Taylor's the
MVP of the league, because the Colts would be nowhere
without them, And it took about half the season before
NFL defensive coordinators seemed to figure out Hey as good
(11:21):
as Daniel Jones looks. However, much better he looks than
what he looked at as a giant. If we stop
Jonathan Taylor and make him beat us, we think that
we can mortalize this Colts offense because it can't be
as good as what it's showing thus far. And since
Jonathan Taylor started to be taken away, and look, he's
(11:43):
still good. He's still getting his seventy five eighty yards
a game, but he was getting one hundred and thirty
one hundred and eighty yards a game in the first
half of the season. As soon as defenses took started
taking him away or at least minimizing the damage that
he could do, the Colts real colors started to show.
And yeah they are. I think they're not a bad team,
(12:06):
or at least they weren't at the start of this
past Sunday. But I think that it was a mirage
how good they were playing in the first half of
the season.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, well, I don't think that they were great. I mean,
I watched in week two. They ended up beating Denver,
but it was that kind of fluky They missed a
field goal, but then there was a flag and so
then they got to kick it again.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
And won had a little walk off win. I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I mean, the one team that maybe is good that
they is the Chargers that they beat. And yet it
was shortly after that that the yeos kind of fell off.
I think that there's something too that team goes through
Jonathan Taylor, and yet there was times that the opponent
would be like, okay, this play, we can't go. We
can't let Jonathan Taylor do this anymore. They would put
(12:50):
their foot down for that moment in time, and Daniel
Jones rose to the occasion and made the play once
the teams came out and said, we're just not going
to let Jonathan Tay Taylor beat us period. Right, He's
still gonna get his You can't stop him, but you
can contain him.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And since then, thank you, Dan Patrick.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But it does apply to this. Yeah, yeah, well you're welcome.
I remember hearing that quite a few times, so I
thought i'd use it. I just think that there's a
there's something Daniel Jones has looked good, and yet Daniel
Jones doesn't necessarily he doesn't seem like the type to
me that just is like Josh Allen can just flat
out take over a game. Right him himself. He can
(13:31):
go win you the game. I don't feel like that's
Daniel Jones, even though after you know, Hughes broke him
down and said, in a different situation, I think this
guy could be better than what we saw is. I
think he's better. I don't think he's Patrick Mahomes or
Daniel or you know, or you know, Josh Allen at
this point in time. And so he's still going to
be probably better. He still would have been more of
(13:52):
a scary proposition than you know, Riley Leonard or Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I think, well, I mean Jonathan Taylor's value the game.
He say he's had five games, six games with ninety
yards or more. He had one hundred and sixty five
against Denver. How did you let that happen?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
By?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
One oh two against Tennessee, won twenty three against the Arizona,
won fifty three against Tennessee, ninety four against the Chargers,
and two hundred and forty four against the Falcons. Guess
what they won all of those? They won six of them.
So when these ninety yards or more, the Colts are undefeated,
and when he's below that marker, you know, which is
(14:32):
what teams decided to do well. Now you've lost five
games with when you do contain, don't stop that contain
Jonathan Taylor. So as you get ready to face them
on Sunday, and who knows who's going to play quarterback,
I'll tell you this, he'll be between twenty two and
forty five years of age. Whoever plays quarterback. I mean,
(14:57):
I think the game plan before was the the word
is out stop Jonathan Taylor. You beat the Colts, now,
good lord, put all twelve in the box, you know.
I mean, I mean the Seahawks run defense with Mike
McDonald versus a one man offense and Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, Colts,
(15:18):
nobody better be running in Indianapolis to bet the money
line this Sunday. Put it that.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Way, yeah, and they and they haven't used him very
much as a receiving threat either. For speaking of Jonathan Taylor,
I mean I was looking at the last three games.
He's had zero yards receiving thirty six and eight. So
I mean he's not necessarily, you know, coming at you
that way. So if you can just stop him from running.
They're not using him very often in the passing game either,
(15:44):
even though he is a threat after the catch up.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, I mean it's they have to figure out ways
to get the ball in his hands and try to
do it in space, because you're not going to just
be able to hand it off and have him run
inside the tackles, not against Seattle and whoever they have
back there.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
That's where another reason why.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
The whole philip Rivers thing, like the idea of if
they're just stacking the box, how how comfortable can you
feel about Brett Ripkin going out there and making changes
when all of a sudden he thinks he sees the
most confusing defense is trying to that they have this play,
the handoff to the running back, they have it covered.
(16:22):
I don't feel comfortable with him making that adjustment. Whereas
somebody that's been played for six decades and you know,
five years ago, I would feel more comfortable that he
might be able to diagnose something and check out of
that play to a little RPO or something.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I don't know, man, I.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Just had one of those like moments, those little let's
go back in time. Yeah, how far back are we going?
They're twenty twenty? Okay, this is Chuck with Chuck and
Buck with Ashley Ryan and I'm the draft is coming up.
Happy drafts everybody, and the Jonathan Taylor is a guy
(16:58):
I really like for the Seahawks take with the twenty
seventh pick in the draft. We're back to really oh
you remember that? Remember that? Yeah, we took Jordan Brooks.
Jonathan Taylor would have been a better pick. I haven't
been a nice pick for yees. Yeah, been a good pick.
He went forty first.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Would have been decent.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, yeah, barely if you were on the naughty list.
Better than Jordan Brooks as an example. Alligator mouth, Yeah,
I alligator mouth open to Jonathan Taylor for sure. All Right,
coming on next, Al Konski is going to be with us.
What and the hell has happened to our hockey team?
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
All right, Chuck pal Bucking, Jacobson, Ashley Ryan with you
on this hump day, joining us now on the program
to talk some hockey, that old ice hockey.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It is uh, our friend Al Kaniski, color analyst for
your Seattle krack and struggling Seattle crack. And right now
six straight losses, Al, what gives yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Bit of a rough patch lately for the Kracking and
they're trying to dig their way out of it, but
the schedule is not offering them any easy games as
of late. And tonight they've got the LA Kings in town,
and you know you're gonna see a two teams that
play a very similar game. It's almost like playing yourself
in the mirror that LA plays a very defensive, structured
game two point four to eight goals against average excuse me,
(18:32):
goals four average, but under three goals against. So I
expect it to be a low scoring game if the
Cracking can stay out of the penalty box. If they can't,
it could go sideways with you.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I hear you on the idea of how they look
similar and yet they're right now kind of heading in
two different directions at least if I mean, they're not
on some six game winning streak, like a six game
losing streak, but they've started to score the last couple
of games that they've had out there, and so what
is it going to take. Is it just staying out
of the box, or what is it going to take
(19:03):
to kind of give us the boost offensively to keep
up if they do end up putting you know, two
or three goals in the net.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Well, I think it's gonna be a couple of things,
and it sounds pretty straightforward. But the Crack can have
to find some success on their power play. They've got
to stay on the box on their own and not
give LA any power play opportunities or at least limit
them like they did last game, and then obviously kill
them off. But if they can get one on their
power play, limit the power plays for LA, and then
(19:31):
play a better version of that defensive structure, then they'll
win the game if they If they don't, and if
they go into the penalty box too many times, I
think LA will hurt them on their power play and
it will just become a who can score more goals
And I don't pick the Crack and want to get
into that game.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I don't know how similar the psychology of hockey versus baseball,
but a baseball player can be as a slump. They
can convince themselves they're not going to get out of
a slump, and then all of a sudden, they get
a blue pit in their next did bat, they're off
and running. So does that happen in hockey? Like you
get a power play goal, it was your only goal
against the Wild, but at least you got one finally
(20:10):
first time in a long time. Can that just psychologically
unlock things or is there something wrong with our power play?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Well?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I think checks psychologically maybe, But I also think momentum
is a powerful, powerful thing in sports that you know,
you get on a bit of a winning streak, that's momentum.
You get on a personal goalscoring streak, that's momentum. I
think last game, the krack and going perfect on their
penalty kill, even though their penalty kills at the bottom
of the league right now, that could be momentum. Come
(20:40):
into tonight and I think they've made some adjustments in
that particular area that the penalty kill that they'll continue
to use today and tonight in tonight's game and try
and have the same outcome. Obviously, state out of the
box works as well, but my expectations are going to
have to kill off a couple of penalties, and if
they use the same structure they did last game, I
think I can generate momentum. So I think it's psychological,
(21:03):
but I think it's also momentum that can drive a
team forward into winning streets.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
You know, when Lane Lambert was hired.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
We joked around because he's got the you know, the
widow's peak, like he's got the hair of Dracula to
speak right. Yeah, I don't have hair. I most certainly
don't have a widow's peak. I wish, But he just
seems like a dude that has that kind of I
can get kind of gruff with my team if needed.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Is have you heard anything?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Have you been standing outside the locker room and heard
him lay into him a little bit about going out
there and you know, being tougher and stopping this skid.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I have not heard any garbage cans thrown around the
red I have not heard it. I have not heard
anything break. But I will tell you one thing about
Lane Lambert is he's consistent. He's going to be intense
on the ice, He's going to be intense when he
talks with you. He's going to be intense in the
locker room. And I think he expects that intensity to
transfer over to you game and intensity usually means prepping properly,
(22:04):
playing every shift properly, you know, taking accountability when you
do something wrong. And I think he pushes that hard.
And yeah, he barks in practice, you know, I see
him bark a lot more than I see him laugh.
But I also think that he's a professional and that's
what he's pushing his guys to be is intense hockey players.
And you know, it's certainly shown up with the best
(22:27):
start in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Jordan everly did say something though afterwards. Was it time
for that? Was it long overdue? Was he premature with
it as role of captain? Did Jordan Eberley pick the
right time to kind of throw it out there that
we got to be better?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I think he actually absolutely picked the right time. Players
hate it when you when you go on these sumps
like this, especially after a great start, and I think
it was absolutely the right time to, you know, call
out not a player, but call out his team included himself,
to say we need more, We need more from everybody,
and look at your own game individually. What could I
(23:04):
do better? What could I do more of? How could
I prepare better? How can I push harder? You know?
How can I defend better? And I think that that's
what a captain does, is it's a message to the.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Entire team of we need more.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
And I look forward to seeing how that message transfers
into tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah, obviously need to score more, and they probably just
need to try getting some more pucks on net.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I mean, there's times more let's try to win more.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well, okay, so let's score more and then hopefully that
turns into win more. But in order to do both
those things, they need to shoot more. Is there anyone
in particular that you're watching that you think is just
being too passive when there's opportunities in the offensive end.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I think it's different in every game.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I think that you know from from our comfy, warm,
two hundred foot spot above the rink, it's easy to
see that for us. I don't know if the players
always see it. I love seam pass The cracking have
been burned on seam passes in a few of these losses.
There's a time and a place for that. You often
see them the power play. But I think that when
(24:10):
you've got the puck anywhere in the slot area from
the top of the circles, in your very first, second,
and third thought should be shooting the puck because although
you might not score, let's let's be honest, most of
the time you don't. At the NHL, you might not score,
you're creating a scoring opportunity, not just for yourself, but
for the guys that are going to the net. Those
guys that are going to the net have their sticks out,
(24:32):
they're looking for a deflection, they're looking for a rebound,
they're looking for a tap. And and if you put
the puck on net and a goalie gives up a
bad rebound, then it does turn into a scoring opportunity
or a goal.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So I want to.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
See guys thinking shot all the time, and I think
that they've been emphasizing that a lot more over the
last few games. Listen, so the last six have been losses,
but the last couple of been one goal losses. The
cracking have been in these games. I think it's just
tweaking a couple of things to get them over the
top here tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
All right, Well, tell us about the King's pretty good
team that we're facing. You've already alluded to that. Give
me something specific about what the Kraken got to take
away from them this evening.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Well, they're a team that's you know, like I said,
they don't give up a lot of goals. They've got
great goals ending in Darcy, Kemper Anton Forsbergs are backed up.
He's great as well. Hasn't played quite as much about
a third of the games. But they're a team that's
not going to give you a lot of scoring opportunities.
So see above, you got to shoot the puck.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I think that.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You know, they're a team that has a great power play.
It's in the eighty percent mark, so if you give
them too many power play opportunities, they're going to hurt you.
So it's a pretty simple game plan. If I'm drying
it up, stay out of the box, put put everything
on that, and play your defensive structure that you've been
playing so well for the first twenty eight games.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Nita way out. I don't know if you and ever
tried to shake it up a little bit, you know,
do your hair differently or a mustache. Yeah, maybe you
don't wear fancy shoes. I don't know if you tried
anything to try to get it going.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I mean, we tried to put our headsets on backwards,
but engineer Terry Ryan didn't like that. So you know,
we're we'd wear each other's shoes, but we both wear
a size fifteen. That's not gonna work either. We'll come
up with something for tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Engineers don't care about winning, do they? They don't care
about Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
So Skinny, now he's not. Just tell him you don't
worry about it, Skinny Terry.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Of all the sports though he might care about winning,
though it might be hockey. Knowing Terry, he might it. Yeah,
all right, well, get us a win tonight. Al you
got it boys? All right? Alciniski our color analyst for
our hockey coverage right here on the flagship sports Radio

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Like to do it tonight. One last things Next Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r F M HI
final segment here of Chuck and Buck in the morning.
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM. We
(27:48):
go round the room for one last thing, Bucky, what.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Do you got?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I did not know this, but because I mean, there
was a large chunk of my life from fifteen maybe
I don't know when it's exactly started, all the way
definitely through my thirties where Baseball America was a publication
that I've ran a lot. Yeah, I did not know that.
They're just a bunch of ball washers over there.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yep, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Jerry Depoto got was announced as a twenty twenty five
Baseball America's General Manager of the Year.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Ball washers. Oh man, what are they sucking up? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Well they're probably getting something for it, Yeah, probably getting
something from him.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I think they probably worked for the maritors.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Wants a job, Yeah, you just want a job or
you you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Just saw Jerry over for coffee?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, Gerard the Poto if that really is your name?
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Yeah, you didn't learn it.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
There is ball washing because they Baseball America wants a
big dumper shirt or something.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, I can't believe that anybody would stoop that little.
I thought they were reputable.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I thought that they were hard hitting journalistic newsletter.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Now I know they washed the balls.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Washers by a way to live.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Couldn't help.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
But I couldn't help but make fun of those that
called us ball washers because Jerry Depoto.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
Because I liked some of his moves, not all of them,
So we were apparently washing his undercarriage. So when I
saw Baseball America, yeah, well now Baseball America is taking
it over, so we don't have to. Now that the
rest of the world realizes he maybe isn't the worst
(29:34):
at his job.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Uh, he's actually very good at his job. There are
some certainly holes in his game, but I think even
those have gotten plugged in here the last couple of years.
I think he's finally looked in the mirror and seen
the light on a couple of the things that I
didn't I angrily raged about for a number of years. Uh,
and it kind of feels like those things got fixed
(29:57):
during this past season. I wouldn't sa off season. We
had almost I almost used the s worth. We had
a crappy offseason last year, but certainly love the moves
in season. And then all of the hard work that
everybody bashed for so long. You started to see all
the good work that had gone into building this roster,
(30:19):
building this organization. And there's a lot more talent on
the way as well. So I think that they actually
do a very good, too great job in the front office.
There you go again, I mean, there you go again.
If you want to commend America Washer's ball.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah there, jeez, you're going on and on about how
he's pretty good at his job.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Ball washer Baseball America.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Oh goodness, I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Finally you got someone to take over for it.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I didn't get anything free out of it, and probably
will just haunt us forever, probably will ever be over there.
I'm not letting it go Ashally.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
What you want last thing, well, you guys will be
really excited to hear this. According to new research published
in the Tuesday Journal of Sleep Advances, getting less than
seven hours of sleep a night is a strong predictor
of a shorter life expectancy. Researchers found that sleep was
more effective in predicting a shorter life expectancy than any
(31:21):
factor except smoky.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Oh, so we're two and a half is closed?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yes, two and.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
A half hours a night like seven, but broken up
into two segments, one in at night and one in
the middle of the day.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Seven hours a night or seven hours a week.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, seven hours, getting less than seven hours a week
and you're host.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Uh yeah, yeah, that's not news. I think we all
kind of understood it and feel it. But yeah, feel
like you're dying. Like you're dying because you are, yeah,
at a faster pace than those that get normal sleep up.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Okay, how many years have you done it for?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Well, I worked at warm and was up. Our show
started at five before I came here, so that was
three years.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And then I've been here now four and a half.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So yeah, seven and hours twenty five of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
No, I don't want to, Yeah, sorry, I got to.
I don't want to be on the morning show for
twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I was talking to Arden's husband last night and he's like, oh,
you that you got the morning show tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is it? The Chappelle Show?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
He's like, you got the morning show and he goes
and I said yeah, and he goes all the pros
and cons. Getting up that early's got to be the worst,
right And I said yeah, like by a mile, and
he goes, like five times worse than anything else anybody
at the station.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I said, yeah, but luckily we.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Get compensated for it.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yep, show up earlier.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Actually kill yourself to do the job.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Definitely. Well, the good news, the silver lining is is
that we never get the days off for games because
we never get pre.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, we never have the extra days off that everybody
else has.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Hey, guys, you get Christmas off this year, enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I'm going to enjoy the crap out of that, honestly.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Like when it's when I can get into a rhythm
of the week, I really don't mind it at all.
But you we just you just walk such a fine line.
And if I get out of that rhythm, because I
will do sleep, get up work, go home, sleep, get
up work starts the process. Yeah, and I don't even
(33:31):
go I'm not even tired till like ten thirty eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So if I can stay in that rhythm, I'm fine.
But it's so easy to get out of the rhythm.
That's the killer. That's the killer. So when they call
for like meetings at one o'clock, which they don't do
anymore around here.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, don't we have one coming up?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, next week? All right, anyway, we don't
have our job enough. Hey, getting up early though, that's.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The part I hate, just getting up early. It's just hard.
Speaker 1 (34:02):

already downhill stretch. We're heading towards the weekend, folks, And
you play that I'm gonna shake my rump, my lovely
lady hump.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah. I don't say the words are.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
In it, but I meant you trying to show you
my skills. I was back here.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Look, why were you over there vomiting?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, I didn't want to tell you.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
She did have a very concerned look on her face,
just looking down like maybe she did see it and
then looked away.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I didn't see it. I was looking at something on
the computer that was being wonky. My keyboard has been
acting up. Remember when yours did that weird thing where
it would just make bizarre Yeah, So my pauses. So
I'll type a whole thing and then five letters are
all that actually went through, or or it'll add like
seven eyes if I type one eye and.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Then make every word really long. But there's and so I.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Think there's a battery. Isn't there a battery?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Changed the battery yesterday. Yeah, they're ordering us a new
one back here because it's just being a little one.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Okay, So anyway I get annoyed by it.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Sorry, could be you ye, down the eye button, the key,
it'll it'll just keep let me try.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh don't don't do it.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
If I just push it and then lift up, what happens, missus?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
If you hear it one, then you get one.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh see, there you go. You're welcome. That's lose Clark
State right there.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Impressive, missus.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Jordan would have talked to that freshman year high.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
School legitimately typing class that you took on a typewriter.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
We didn't. I don't even know what that is typing class.
I remember that those of you that do know the typewriters,
I'm with you to be on your your home keys.
I saw some documents that I typed out on a
typewriter as a kid that I kept.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, I still, how fast did you type back in
the day when.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I could probably if we do without air, a good
solid eighty letters?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I think.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Then now, kid, Yeah, well I should be I've typed
more things than yeah Ernest Henningway. So yeah, so yeah,
I'm good now, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I was sixty one words a minute in seventh Oh
I was best in seventh grade.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
How white out?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
There's a lot, a lot, but I'm remember we had
to reach out and hit the two team.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah hit that thing.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Oh I hit it?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Uh me and Aaron Donnelly we were racing. We both
wanted to be the fastest typers. Oh yeah, and I
plenty of white out, but in the speed test it
was always the same thing, so you could do that. Well,
they weren't, you know, far off. Home Row wasn't a
whole lot of capitalizing, you know, semi colon's and.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I feel bad for those guys on Home Row.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You do just serving the life road home Row.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I may have I may have screwed up some more.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah you were thinking it was no, it's just this
just home Row home road fingers understood now, Yeah, okay, good?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, you had to have them on your home keys,
and then you had to practice because you have to
like reach up to like R without looking R. Yeah,
you got to make sure you got that right and
be like T.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't even think, Yeah, I guess you do get
to a point where you don't think about it, obviously,
but yeah, I don't even I don't even know what letters.
I know where they all are, just by field, but
I couldn't even tell you across the.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Board asd F. I think is your left hand there
you go? Then g right inside of that?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
H nice? Oh boy j K yep L yeah, and
good job and well done last week. Hold on, yeah,
colon and I have one of those. You have one
of those? You have a normal colon. I have a
colon right.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Just me correct this because I don't want a bunch
of emails. Missus Sordan was our band teacher.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Angry.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Missus Wilson was our type right because and I remember that. Yeah,
I know, so sorry, stop with the hate mail. I
know I know all of Brighton's listening. But Missus Wilson,
I know that because she's the only person that ever
gave me a detention. I was like late to her
class because that was my chance to walk the girlfriend
(04:35):
you know, to her class, and so I always would
take that and then I would usually get there in time.
But three times a year, you better believe I was
a little late.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Okay, you know little here and there.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And I guess it was worth it.
But she didn't slap me with the detention like the
most well bathed GD in the history of Brighton, Illinois.
And missus Wilson is slapping my hands. She sounds like
she sucks being four seconds late, three different ties.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Also, because you only can type eighty letters a minute.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I think it's because she wanted me jealous, jealous of
Amanda coin Schoffler. She was jealous of her, Yes, Cochoffler, Yeah, wow,
the problem going for her? Freddy she was, yeah, Freddy
cochas Berger, coch Scherger, cocus Burger and it was actually
(05:26):
spelled with a P, and yet we always called it
cocus Burger, but I believe it was cocus Perger.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's ridiculous, that's not I guess.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
If you don't have a real name, you don't correct
the other. One's actually spelled Cokeers Perger. What k O
c h e R s p e r g e r.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
That is an abomination.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But we called them the Cochusburgers.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
But it was probably wouldn't even be in there.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Perger is probably what it was pronounced. Yeah, yeah, sure,
And you still think I'm making this up?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yesterday the full Burger, Yeah, fully fully burger, perfiction books.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You could have made up cocus Berger that you call
itch Berger.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Why would I make up that crappy of a name.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I mean, I show when I'm like, that's the name
you came up?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Somebody made it up generations ago. Yeah, well why but
not to write a book about Like if you go
watch The Invention of Christmas and watch how Charles Dickens
couldn't write Christmas Carol until he got the name of
the villain exactly what he wanted it to be. Yeah. Yeah,
(06:35):
So he sat there and he toiled, and he had
a soft idea and until he came up with the
name Ebenezer Scrooge. It didn't take off. And then he
was like, now I got it. Now I can see him,
now I know him, Now I know his personality. Now
I can write the book funny List yesterday? Oh you should.
It's really good, It's very good. And so why would
(06:55):
I make up such crappy Cocusburger.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We might play another round of that this week. It's
come up twice now, But uh, I never realized how strange.
The people's names were that I grew up there, very strange,
and I guess they are like the strangest. Like Bucky
and Ashley are telling me Cochsberger sounds made up it. Well,
it's not. It's actually cokys Perger.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, you sound a way to make it worse, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Uh well, uh it went from hump Day to Cocas
Perker's uh back to hump Day. Uh it is the
Hawk's Colts. Everything's been about Phillip Rivers so far this week,
and understandably so. I mean that's just a sensational story.
But this Indianapolis Colts steam Bucky was falling apart before
Daniel Jones got hurt. I mean, they just started this
(07:47):
season like wildfire. Halfway through the year, they were right
there with the best record in the National Football League.
They were leading the NFL and points scored. Uh Daniel Jones,
I mean, uh, we talked for a couple of years
and Hugh really emphasized how that guy's in the worst
quarterback situation in the NFL and has been since he
(08:08):
got into the league. He's actually better than he looks.
And he gets to Indianapolis, he gets with Shane Steichen.
He gets around Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren,
and sure enough, the Indianapolis Colts were just flying high.
But they not one in a while. They are struggling.
They're a third place team, I mean seven and one start.
(08:28):
They're at eight and five right now, a third place team.
And that decline had started rapidly long before Daniel Jones
Torre's Achilles.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
This Sunday, Yeah, I mean they lost, I mean the
loss to Pittsburgh and then they beat Atlanta barely in overtime.
I remember watching that game, watching that overtime game and thinking, boy,
that didn't look like a team that was should be
eight and two right now. That's when I think the
conversations were, are they legit? Because they were right there,
(08:57):
they were top of the heat in the American League,
and then they the American League.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, they're right there, the Royal right there, yep, right there,
the Yankees. They might beat the Yankees. They they might
be the AFC.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, and yet then they they lose one to Kansas City,
Houston and Jacksonville. So those are kind of acceptable. Even
though the last last week after Daniel Jones goes down.
It was not even a contest. I mean, Jacksonville absolutely
rolled them. I almost took that game in factor fiction
because apparently, yeah good, it's something. It's like seventeen straight
(09:33):
times that they haven't won in Jacksonville, so it was
like I almost went with that. But that that aside,
they've kind of played some tough teams. I mean, Kansas
City at any point in time can go out and
beat anybody, I feel like, and Houston's just now kind
of getting right in. Jacksonville's right up there as well
as one of the better teams in the AFC. I
don't know how, but they are so to me, it's
(09:54):
like I wouldn't sleep on them when they're healthy. I
think there's some legitimacy to them being a set one team,
even though they've started to skid.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Basically, since I don't know Halloween well, I.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Would say two reactions to that. Number One, I mean,
you do have to face good teams in the league,
so if you can't beat them, then you're not nearly
as good as what your record might have indicated. So yeah,
maybe the competition is ramped up, but maybe you were
taking advantage of the soft competition. Earlier in the season,
and that was misleading to people that were putting them
at the top of their rankings list. The second thing
(10:27):
I would say is, I don't know if there's any
getting around this. I mean, they started the season offensively,
thirty three points, twenty nine points, forty one points they
had twenty against the Rams, forty thirty one, thirty eight,
thirty eight getting to seven and one. Those are some
gaudy numbers that they're putting up. And ever since that time,
twenty points thirty one against the Falcons twenty sixteen, nineteen,
(10:49):
and that's with Daniel Jones until halfway through a game
that the Jaguars were beating the pants off of them.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, they only had like three points or something when
you went out, didn't they? Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I think so? Yeah, and so offense. The league adjusted,
The league figured it out, and I'll give credit to
the talking head since we like to bash them so much.
It was week after a week of Jonathan Taylor's the
MVP of the league, because the Colts would be nowhere
without them, And it took about half the season before
NFL defensive coordinators seemed to figure out Hey as good
(11:21):
as Daniel Jones looks. However, much better he looks than
what he looked at as a giant. If we stop
Jonathan Taylor and make him beat us, we think that
we can mortalize this Colts offense because it can't be
as good as what it's showing thus far. And since
Jonathan Taylor started to be taken away, and look, he's
(11:43):
still good. He's still getting his seventy five eighty yards
a game, but he was getting one hundred and thirty
one hundred and eighty yards a game in the first
half of the season. As soon as defenses took started
taking him away or at least minimizing the damage that
he could do, the Colts real colors started to show.
And yeah they are. I think they're not a bad team,
(12:06):
or at least they weren't at the start of this
past Sunday. But I think that it was a mirage
how good they were playing in the first half of
the season.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, well, I don't think that they were great. I mean,
I watched in week two. They ended up beating Denver,
but it was that kind of fluky They missed a
field goal, but then there was a flag and so
then they got to kick it again.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
And won had a little walk off win. I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I mean, the one team that maybe is good that
they is the Chargers that they beat. And yet it
was shortly after that that the yeos kind of fell off.
I think that there's something too that team goes through
Jonathan Taylor, and yet there was times that the opponent
would be like, okay, this play, we can't go. We
can't let Jonathan Taylor do this anymore. They would put
(12:50):
their foot down for that moment in time, and Daniel
Jones rose to the occasion and made the play once
the teams came out and said, we're just not going
to let Jonathan Tay Taylor beat us period. Right, He's
still gonna get his You can't stop him, but you
can contain him.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
And since then, thank you, Dan Patrick.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But it does apply to this. Yeah, yeah, well you're welcome.
I remember hearing that quite a few times, so I
thought i'd use it. I just think that there's a
there's something Daniel Jones has looked good, and yet Daniel
Jones doesn't necessarily he doesn't seem like the type to
me that just is like Josh Allen can just flat
out take over a game. Right him himself. He can
(13:31):
go win you the game. I don't feel like that's
Daniel Jones, even though after you know, Hughes broke him
down and said, in a different situation, I think this
guy could be better than what we saw is. I
think he's better. I don't think he's Patrick Mahomes or
Daniel or you know, or you know, Josh Allen at
this point in time. And so he's still going to
be probably better. He still would have been more of
(13:52):
a scary proposition than you know, Riley Leonard or Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I think, well, I mean Jonathan Taylor's value the game.
He say he's had five games, six games with ninety
yards or more. He had one hundred and sixty five
against Denver. How did you let that happen?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
By?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
One oh two against Tennessee, won twenty three against the Arizona,
won fifty three against Tennessee, ninety four against the Chargers,
and two hundred and forty four against the Falcons. Guess
what they won all of those? They won six of them.
So when these ninety yards or more, the Colts are undefeated,
and when he's below that marker, you know, which is
(14:32):
what teams decided to do well. Now you've lost five
games with when you do contain, don't stop that contain
Jonathan Taylor. So as you get ready to face them
on Sunday, and who knows who's going to play quarterback,
I'll tell you this, he'll be between twenty two and
forty five years of age. Whoever plays quarterback. I mean,
(14:57):
I think the game plan before was the the word
is out stop Jonathan Taylor. You beat the Colts, now,
good lord, put all twelve in the box, you know.
I mean, I mean the Seahawks run defense with Mike
McDonald versus a one man offense and Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, Colts,
(15:18):
nobody better be running in Indianapolis to bet the money
line this Sunday. Put it that.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Way, yeah, and they and they haven't used him very
much as a receiving threat either. For speaking of Jonathan Taylor,
I mean I was looking at the last three games.
He's had zero yards receiving thirty six and eight. So
I mean he's not necessarily, you know, coming at you
that way. So if you can just stop him from running.
They're not using him very often in the passing game either,
(15:44):
even though he is a threat after the catch up.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, I mean it's they have to figure out ways
to get the ball in his hands and try to
do it in space, because you're not going to just
be able to hand it off and have him run
inside the tackles, not against Seattle and whoever they have
back there.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
That's where another reason why.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
The whole philip Rivers thing, like the idea of if
they're just stacking the box, how how comfortable can you
feel about Brett Ripkin going out there and making changes
when all of a sudden he thinks he sees the
most confusing defense is trying to that they have this play,
the handoff to the running back, they have it covered.
(16:22):
I don't feel comfortable with him making that adjustment. Whereas
somebody that's been played for six decades and you know,
five years ago, I would feel more comfortable that he
might be able to diagnose something and check out of
that play to a little RPO or something.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
I don't know, man, I.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Just had one of those like moments, those little let's
go back in time. Yeah, how far back are we going?
They're twenty twenty? Okay, this is Chuck with Chuck and
Buck with Ashley Ryan and I'm the draft is coming up.
Happy drafts everybody, and the Jonathan Taylor is a guy
(16:58):
I really like for the Seahawks take with the twenty
seventh pick in the draft. We're back to really oh
you remember that? Remember that? Yeah, we took Jordan Brooks.
Jonathan Taylor would have been a better pick. I haven't
been a nice pick for yees. Yeah, been a good pick.
He went forty first.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Would have been decent.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, yeah, barely if you were on the naughty list.
Better than Jordan Brooks as an example. Alligator mouth, Yeah,
I alligator mouth open to Jonathan Taylor for sure. All Right,
coming on next, Al Konski is going to be with us.
What and the hell has happened to our hockey team?
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
All right, Chuck pal Bucking, Jacobson, Ashley Ryan with you
on this hump day, joining us now on the program
to talk some hockey, that old ice hockey.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
It is uh, our friend Al Kaniski, color analyst for
your Seattle krack and struggling Seattle crack. And right now
six straight losses, Al, what gives yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Bit of a rough patch lately for the Kracking and
they're trying to dig their way out of it, but
the schedule is not offering them any easy games as
of late. And tonight they've got the LA Kings in town,
and you know you're gonna see a two teams that
play a very similar game. It's almost like playing yourself
in the mirror that LA plays a very defensive, structured
game two point four to eight goals against average excuse me,
(18:32):
goals four average, but under three goals against. So I
expect it to be a low scoring game if the
Cracking can stay out of the penalty box. If they can't,
it could go sideways with you.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I hear you on the idea of how they look
similar and yet they're right now kind of heading in
two different directions at least if I mean, they're not
on some six game winning streak, like a six game
losing streak, but they've started to score the last couple
of games that they've had out there, and so what
is it going to take. Is it just staying out
of the box, or what is it going to take
(19:03):
to kind of give us the boost offensively to keep
up if they do end up putting you know, two
or three goals in the net.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Well, I think it's gonna be a couple of things,
and it sounds pretty straightforward. But the Crack can have
to find some success on their power play. They've got
to stay on the box on their own and not
give LA any power play opportunities or at least limit
them like they did last game, and then obviously kill
them off. But if they can get one on their
power play, limit the power plays for LA, and then
(19:31):
play a better version of that defensive structure, then they'll
win the game if they If they don't, and if
they go into the penalty box too many times, I
think LA will hurt them on their power play and
it will just become a who can score more goals
And I don't pick the Crack and want to get
into that game.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I don't know how similar the psychology of hockey versus baseball,
but a baseball player can be as a slump. They
can convince themselves they're not going to get out of
a slump, and then all of a sudden, they get
a blue pit in their next did bat, they're off
and running. So does that happen in hockey? Like you
get a power play goal, it was your only goal
against the Wild, but at least you got one finally
(20:10):
first time in a long time. Can that just psychologically
unlock things or is there something wrong with our power play?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Well?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I think checks psychologically maybe, But I also think momentum
is a powerful, powerful thing in sports that you know,
you get on a bit of a winning streak, that's momentum.
You get on a personal goalscoring streak, that's momentum. I
think last game, the krack and going perfect on their
penalty kill, even though their penalty kills at the bottom
of the league right now, that could be momentum. Come
(20:40):
into tonight and I think they've made some adjustments in
that particular area that the penalty kill that they'll continue
to use today and tonight in tonight's game and try
and have the same outcome. Obviously, state out of the
box works as well, but my expectations are going to
have to kill off a couple of penalties, and if
they use the same structure they did last game, I
think I can generate momentum. So I think it's psychological,
(21:03):
but I think it's also momentum that can drive a
team forward into winning streets.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
You know, when Lane Lambert was hired.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
We joked around because he's got the you know, the
widow's peak, like he's got the hair of Dracula to
speak right. Yeah, I don't have hair. I most certainly
don't have a widow's peak. I wish, But he just
seems like a dude that has that kind of I
can get kind of gruff with my team if needed.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Is have you heard anything?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Have you been standing outside the locker room and heard
him lay into him a little bit about going out
there and you know, being tougher and stopping this skid.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I have not heard any garbage cans thrown around the
red I have not heard it. I have not heard
anything break. But I will tell you one thing about
Lane Lambert is he's consistent. He's going to be intense
on the ice, He's going to be intense when he
talks with you. He's going to be intense in the
locker room. And I think he expects that intensity to
transfer over to you game and intensity usually means prepping properly,
(22:04):
playing every shift properly, you know, taking accountability when you
do something wrong. And I think he pushes that hard.
And yeah, he barks in practice, you know, I see
him bark a lot more than I see him laugh.
But I also think that he's a professional and that's
what he's pushing his guys to be is intense hockey players.
And you know, it's certainly shown up with the best
(22:27):
start in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Jordan everly did say something though afterwards. Was it time
for that? Was it long overdue? Was he premature with
it as role of captain? Did Jordan Eberley pick the
right time to kind of throw it out there that
we got to be better?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I think he actually absolutely picked the right time. Players
hate it when you when you go on these sumps
like this, especially after a great start, and I think
it was absolutely the right time to, you know, call
out not a player, but call out his team included himself,
to say we need more, We need more from everybody,
and look at your own game individually. What could I
(23:04):
do better? What could I do more of? How could
I prepare better? How can I push harder? You know?
How can I defend better? And I think that that's
what a captain does, is it's a message to the.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Entire team of we need more.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
And I look forward to seeing how that message transfers
into tonight's game.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah, obviously need to score more, and they probably just
need to try getting some more pucks on net.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I mean, there's times more let's try to win more.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well, okay, so let's score more and then hopefully that
turns into win more. But in order to do both
those things, they need to shoot more. Is there anyone
in particular that you're watching that you think is just
being too passive when there's opportunities in the offensive end.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I think it's different in every game.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Buck.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I think that you know from from our comfy, warm,
two hundred foot spot above the rink, it's easy to
see that for us. I don't know if the players
always see it. I love seam pass The cracking have
been burned on seam passes in a few of these losses.
There's a time and a place for that. You often
see them the power play. But I think that when
(24:10):
you've got the puck anywhere in the slot area from
the top of the circles, in your very first, second,
and third thought should be shooting the puck because although
you might not score, let's let's be honest, most of
the time you don't. At the NHL, you might not score,
you're creating a scoring opportunity, not just for yourself, but
for the guys that are going to the net. Those
guys that are going to the net have their sticks out,
(24:32):
they're looking for a deflection, they're looking for a rebound,
they're looking for a tap. And and if you put
the puck on net and a goalie gives up a
bad rebound, then it does turn into a scoring opportunity
or a goal.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
So I want to.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
See guys thinking shot all the time, and I think
that they've been emphasizing that a lot more over the
last few games. Listen, so the last six have been losses,
but the last couple of been one goal losses. The
cracking have been in these games. I think it's just
tweaking a couple of things to get them over the
top here tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
All right, Well, tell us about the King's pretty good
team that we're facing. You've already alluded to that. Give
me something specific about what the Kraken got to take
away from them this evening.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Well, they're a team that's you know, like I said,
they don't give up a lot of goals. They've got
great goals ending in Darcy, Kemper Anton Forsbergs are backed up.
He's great as well. Hasn't played quite as much about
a third of the games. But they're a team that's
not going to give you a lot of scoring opportunities.
So see above, you got to shoot the puck.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I think that.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You know, they're a team that has a great power play.
It's in the eighty percent mark, so if you give
them too many power play opportunities, they're going to hurt you.
So it's a pretty simple game plan. If I'm drying
it up, stay out of the box, put put everything
on that, and play your defensive structure that you've been
playing so well for the first twenty eight games.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Nita way out. I don't know if you and ever
tried to shake it up a little bit, you know,
do your hair differently or a mustache. Yeah, maybe you
don't wear fancy shoes. I don't know if you tried
anything to try to get it going.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I mean, we tried to put our headsets on backwards,
but engineer Terry Ryan didn't like that. So you know,
we're we'd wear each other's shoes, but we both wear
a size fifteen. That's not gonna work either. We'll come
up with something for tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Engineers don't care about winning, do they? They don't care
about Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
So Skinny, now he's not. Just tell him you don't
worry about it, Skinny Terry.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Of all the sports though he might care about winning,
though it might be hockey. Knowing Terry, he might it. Yeah,
all right, well, get us a win tonight. Al you
got it boys? All right? Alciniski our color analyst for
our hockey coverage right here on the flagship sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ A r f M, and
our weekly conversation. Uh would the wonderful, The genteel al

those two things together?
Speaker 2 (27:08):

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Never have never drank beer with a straw.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It's never too late to start, Chuck, I would.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Like to do it tonight. One last things Next Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ r F M HI
final segment here of Chuck and Buck in the morning.
Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM. We
(27:48):
go round the room for one last thing, Bucky, what.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Do you got?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well?
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I did not know this, but because I mean, there
was a large chunk of my life from fifteen maybe
I don't know when it's exactly started, all the way
definitely through my thirties where Baseball America was a publication
that I've ran a lot. Yeah, I did not know that.
They're just a bunch of ball washers over there.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yep, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Jerry Depoto got was announced as a twenty twenty five
Baseball America's General Manager of the Year.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Ball washers. Oh man, what are they sucking up? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Well they're probably getting something for it, Yeah, probably getting
something from him.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I think they probably worked for the maritors.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Wants a job, Yeah, you just want a job or
you you.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Just saw Jerry over for coffee?
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, Gerard the Poto if that really is your name?
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Yeah, you didn't learn it.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
There is ball washing because they Baseball America wants a
big dumper shirt or something.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, I can't believe that anybody would stoop that little.
I thought they were reputable.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I thought that they were hard hitting journalistic newsletter.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Now I know they washed the balls.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Washers by a way to live.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
Couldn't help.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
But I couldn't help but make fun of those that
called us ball washers because Jerry Depoto.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
Because I liked some of his moves, not all of them,
So we were apparently washing his undercarriage. So when I
saw Baseball America, yeah, well now Baseball America is taking
it over, so we don't have to. Now that the
rest of the world realizes he maybe isn't the worst
(29:34):
at his job.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Uh, he's actually very good at his job. There are
some certainly holes in his game, but I think even
those have gotten plugged in here the last couple of years.
I think he's finally looked in the mirror and seen
the light on a couple of the things that I
didn't I angrily raged about for a number of years. Uh,
and it kind of feels like those things got fixed
(29:57):
during this past season. I wouldn't sa off season. We
had almost I almost used the s worth. We had
a crappy offseason last year, but certainly love the moves
in season. And then all of the hard work that
everybody bashed for so long. You started to see all
the good work that had gone into building this roster,
(30:19):
building this organization. And there's a lot more talent on
the way as well. So I think that they actually
do a very good, too great job in the front office.
There you go again, I mean, there you go again.
If you want to commend America Washer's ball.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah there, jeez, you're going on and on about how
he's pretty good at his job.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Ball washer Baseball America.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Oh goodness, I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Finally you got someone to take over for it.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I didn't get anything free out of it, and probably
will just haunt us forever, probably will ever be over there.
I'm not letting it go Ashally.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
What you want last thing, well, you guys will be
really excited to hear this. According to new research published
in the Tuesday Journal of Sleep Advances, getting less than
seven hours of sleep a night is a strong predictor
of a shorter life expectancy. Researchers found that sleep was
more effective in predicting a shorter life expectancy than any
(31:21):
factor except smoky.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Oh, so we're two and a half is closed?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yes, two and.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
A half hours a night like seven, but broken up
into two segments, one in at night and one in
the middle of the day.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Seven hours a night or seven hours a week.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, seven hours, getting less than seven hours a week
and you're host.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Uh yeah, yeah, that's not news. I think we all
kind of understood it and feel it. But yeah, feel
like you're dying. Like you're dying because you are, yeah,
at a faster pace than those that get normal sleep up.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Okay, how many years have you done it for?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Well, I worked at warm and was up. Our show
started at five before I came here, so that was
three years.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
And then I've been here now four and a half.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So yeah, seven and hours twenty five of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
No, I don't want to, Yeah, sorry, I got to.
I don't want to be on the morning show for
twenty five years.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I was talking to Arden's husband last night and he's like, oh,
you that you got the morning show tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is it? The Chappelle Show?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
He's like, you got the morning show and he goes
and I said yeah, and he goes all the pros
and cons. Getting up that early's got to be the worst,
right And I said yeah, like by a mile, and
he goes, like five times worse than anything else anybody
at the station.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I said, yeah, but luckily we.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Get compensated for it.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yep, show up earlier.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Actually kill yourself to do the job.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Definitely. Well, the good news, the silver lining is is
that we never get the days off for games because
we never get pre.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, we never have the extra days off that everybody
else has.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Hey, guys, you get Christmas off this year, enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I'm going to enjoy the crap out of that, honestly.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Like when it's when I can get into a rhythm
of the week, I really don't mind it at all.
But you we just you just walk such a fine line.
And if I get out of that rhythm, because I
will do sleep, get up work, go home, sleep, get
up work starts the process. Yeah, and I don't even
(33:31):
go I'm not even tired till like ten thirty eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So if I can stay in that rhythm, I'm fine.
But it's so easy to get out of the rhythm.
That's the killer. That's the killer. So when they call
for like meetings at one o'clock, which they don't do
anymore around here.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, don't we have one coming up?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, next week? All right, anyway, we don't
have our job enough. Hey, getting up early though, that's.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
The part I hate, just getting up early. It's just hard.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
