00:00all right that's i just you know look you can mock it i'm just giving you the math
00:05i'm not telling you i'm amped about it but minus 250s minus 250 almost a 70 chance for most
00:12projection models i just had to ask kenny all right do you want to reconsider the emotions faded
00:17they get a win they got three points their last two games a little bit of stabilization yes they
00:22need to stack a few w's but this is going to look dramatically different if they can notch a few
00:26wins the math is the math do i think there's some mortal lock no but i can't write them off
00:34based
00:35on math do i like watching them no i think they're morbid they're horrible to watch but this is not
00:42about enjoyment this is about are they going to get in kenny still says absolutely not i just had to
00:49do
00:49we had to do a temperature check david what are the early returns on the text communications
00:55i am on the bus full sin we're going to make the playoffs someone else says all aboard the red
01:01wing bus yes we're making it in kenny is a baby they will squeak in trevor in a van oh
01:09you know
01:09it's gonna be you know it's gonna be fun too is if they do end up making it somehow people
01:12will be
01:13like and now you're a bad fan oh yeah you're not allowed to go to the parade so kenny i'll
01:19ask you
01:19this question do you think that this team can finish with a point a game and get to 95 points
01:25i mean i think they can do i think they will i have my doubts this team has a problem
01:32winning when
01:32the games matter the most and this is not a random january hockey game this is not a random october
01:37beginning of the season hockey game when they go through hot streaks and hot streaks and hot streaks
01:42this is when it matters the most when the rubber meets the road when the team is as tired as
01:46they
01:46have ever been all season long i see it every year it looks the exact same the only difference
01:52this year is they have a goalie standing on his head i'm on the bus up front with rosa parks
01:59and
01:59i'm screaming i ain't going nowhere that's right landing in a car and and again and again i'm not
02:05telling you that it's this mortal certainty i just didn't understand costa and kenny saying it's
02:13over when the mathematics don't back it i just it's not an overwhelming ask here they don't have
02:23a disproportionate amount of back-to-backs they do have a softer schedule they did acquire help on the
02:32blue line they do have a goalie that's better than last year do has the rebuild failed yes that
02:38doesn't mean you can't make the playoffs in year seven but here's the thing i think for people
02:43like kenny's and cookies i don't mean to speak for you kenny but mike oh boy and after what he
02:47said
02:47to you yesterday be careful i'll tell you i think that because they haven't seen success in so many
02:54years it feels like the hockey equivalent of so well well they're gonna find a way to stumble over
03:02themselves just every time you think that this year will be different it's not fair you'll win
03:09me over if you string a couple of a couple of wins together but i just don't see that happening
03:13on a
03:13consistent enough level for for that to win me over i just don't see that as a possibility okay i
03:19look
03:19you may end up being right but there's a reason right by the way hell watching this team i don't
03:27know
03:27that i want to be right because it means i have to watch more of them but it just i
03:31i'm trying to
03:32trust the math here and last night i know it's a garbage team that they played but you fall behind
03:37early you start to look at it and go oh we're going to do this again no and they band
03:43up they
03:43win going away they get the job done now yes kenny it's only as good as what you do next
03:48i know that
03:49but i just want to remind people the math is still greatly in your favor unless you trust espn
03:56and i don't understand how they're at 27 and every other projection model is at damn near 70
04:02but espn says you're not making it they think boston and columbus are they even have ottawa ahead of
04:09you it just doesn't feel right to me which is also the grim reaper of death that we're going to
04:15face
04:16in what three four games from now is we have ottawa coming into town and tell me if you've heard
04:20this
04:20story before but ottawa comes into your building and ends your season remember the back-to-back a couple
04:25of years ago and they lost like 10 to 1 in the aggregate that's exactly what i'm talking about
04:29is it it feels like the the grim reaper of death hanging over our shoulder at this point david go
04:33ahead buddy a small uh curveball here because you were talking about hats and logos and someone
04:40enjoy what you said mike they says quote mike says the black ones are pretty cool they say thank you
04:45michael thank you so much yes thank you nc state football helmets no i just hockey doesn't do a
04:51good job with their apparel i agree i wouldn't mind the red wing hat but i don't need a winged
04:56wheel
04:56that's half the size of the hat it's not what i'm looking for yeah because i have one and it
05:01is
05:01exactly and here's the other problem with red wings attire you can't walk around looking like a
05:06ketchup bottle it just doesn't it's like wearing an orange tiger stuff it doesn't really play unless you're
05:13going hunting so i it's just it's a tough pull it's a tough color scheme you can pull it off
05:18it's with what just a big red hat on you look like a clown nose walking around town
05:24are you fine red hat they need to make better red wings you can't have a red no you can't
05:29do that
05:30it's it's too much yeah it is you wear them all the time no i do not you've never seen
05:35me wear a red
05:36hat what red hat do i wear from bud no way they make the playoffs i'm with kenny
05:42i'm just skipping right past that rico i'm gonna keep right here no the hat the lineage
05:47oh yeah no oh boy yeah you got in trouble for that because people can't have fun you know it
05:53you
05:53know i like the hat and then you know if you do that what kenny kenny after what he said
05:58to you
05:58yesterday no no no you're right you gotta retire the cap
06:04rico beer what a guy okay
06:08someone says uh vegas has been wrong a lot mike so the odds will change all the time but right
06:13now
06:13i'm going they won't make the playoffs that's from will i'm not mad at anyone i just thought it would
06:19be a good time to just lightly check and go kenny do you want to reconsider emotion is faded
06:26do you want to read and he said no that's fine and he might be right and i don't have
06:32to be happy
06:32with what this product is i'm not i'm not happy with the rebuild i'm not happy with the product
06:38but that's not the conversation the conversation is are they going to end this atrocious playoff
06:45drought an unacceptable playoff drought not only because their original six and the best american
06:50team ever they're the detroit effing red wings it's unacceptable and then we'll really be able
06:54to play april in the d oh yeah where are those goofballs at april april in the d pistons tigers
07:05red wings honestly when that song came out that might be the last time the pistons won a playoff
07:09series but you're saying it's a curse i blame that video that music for all everything that means
07:17they would have to bring it back then yeah they would well they can't didn't the network died the
07:21regular oh yes that was a different yes let's see now it's even better they can go independent
07:26oh perfect 248-539-9797 all right we have got one more news item before we get into our first
07:33tournament blitz of the day and wbc stuff that you know rico's all hard up to talk about we'll do
07:40it
07:40i think the whole thing's a laugh fest uh and then yes team mike team rico tournament edition
07:44but i have a news item that is so absurd it's so dumb i i'm just gonna put it out
07:51there and go
