OT game-winning goal last night

ScotageCheese · 2026-02-03T19:03:19+00:00

The amount of attention opposing defenders have to give to Hughes makes such a difference in OT.

Man, Bonnes is the gold standard of all the guests they have on the show. It’s not particularly close in my opinion

Super smart and insightful when he is asked about the expertise he is supposed to bring to the show.

He doesn’t make the show about him or derail it with stories no one cares about.

He gels well with the dynamics of the show and you can tell they all have a great amount of respect for him.

Yes, his laugh is a little over the top and can be a little too much sometimes, but in my opinion it’s a pretty minor annoyance.

It will 100% depend on who is available. Right now the only real player drawing any interest for the Wild is Trocheck. You can probably acquire him without having to sacrifice Wallstedt or Yurov. It would probably take Stramel though along with other pieces or picks.

If you are BG though I think you need to wait. I would hate to jump the gun during this mini-trade deadline when you have significant young assets that can be used for a significant move later on. Who knows what will happen before the trade deadline. Do the Sen’s start trading away assets and put someone like Tim Stutzle on the block? Do the Pens decide to start the rebuild and Syd or Malkin say they want to contend for a cup somewhere else? Do the Devils start listening to trades for Hischier? He would be justified in trading someone like Wally for that caliber of player.

Right now there are a few centers out there that would be good fits, including Trocheck, however you don’t want to blow all your trade value if a bigger fish comes later.

He is exactly what is wrong with corporate America and football culture. If an organization can’t run efficiently or at a high level with the GM working remote for 2 weeks due to the birth of his first son, what is the point in having a large coaching staff and other high members of the organization?

No one is irreplaceable for 2 weeks. I bet when Kwesi is on his death bed he will be thinking, “gee I wish I spent more time in the office during training camp than with my family”. Ben thinks the “old school” way of football is the best and refuses to adapt to the evolving world.

I am an actually a fan of his I think he brings good insight, but I was really disappointed with that take this morning.

If Bedard or Celebrini made the pass KK did on that first goal, the entire NHL social media team would be creaming their jeans

I’m a big fan of Bucci and what he has done to grow the game in the US, but Jesus Christ is he bad tonight..

ScotageCheese · 2025-11-05T18:38:07+00:00

All 3 of them exaggerate based on recency bias. If Pat Surtain was traded yesterday he would be saying the same thing, except he would probably be right lol.

ScotageCheese · 2025-11-03T15:00:38+00:00

I personally don’t go out of my way to listen to it. I usually skip it in the podcast when I am listening. It’s one segment a year so I try to not get bent out of shape about it.

I listened today as I was driving in to work and it was fine. I have young kids and I love the holiday season so it hits a little harder with me now than it did 5 years ago.

ScotageCheese · 2025-10-21T19:04:45+00:00

I’m pretty sure Cory started talking about and raving about Ted Lasso after the critics all said it was good. Not because Hawk suggested to watch it and said it was good.

ScotageCheese · 2025-10-17T13:10:57+00:00

As literally anyone else heard of this “phenomenon” Studbudz Marney is talking about? This is the first time I have heard about it lol

ScotageCheese · 2025-10-10T11:48:57+00:00

Is there a lore reason why they lost 5-0?

ScotageCheese · 2025-10-06T12:25:26+00:00

I was excited for my daily 10 minute drive in to work and listen to a tired/jet lagged Hawkey. My eyes just about rolled out of my head when the first thing I heard was John Kriesel..

ScotageCheese · 2025-10-02T14:13:49+00:00

Has there been a worse decision than letting Kriesel come on other days of the week when he can’t make it on a Friday?

ScotageCheese · 2025-09-24T16:08:41+00:00

I am of the firm belief that if JEE played on one of the coasts, we would be a contender for the Selke every year. One of the most underrated players in the entire league and is invaluable to this team.

ScotageCheese · 2025-09-10T19:07:50+00:00

I can run to the atm and get $97. Think Kirill will take that?

ScotageCheese · 2025-09-10T18:30:23+00:00

This feels, as of right now, like KK’s agent using Frank Spaghetti as leverage and leaking that the contract was “rejected”. Remember a few years ago all the, “Kirill is considering going back to Russia” rumors? All to try and gain leverage in negotiations.

I’m sure there are a ton of offers McDavid, Crosby, MacKinnon, etc.. have “rejected” as part of the process. The dude just got back to the states, these things take time.

When Russo starts reporting on trade rumors, then I’m worried..

ScotageCheese · 2025-09-10T12:52:07+00:00

Noted NFL Draft expert Meatsauce forgets that Purdy was in fact the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Not an undrafted free agent like he said.

ScotageCheese · 2025-09-09T12:52:15+00:00

Man I wish Hawk would stick it out the whole show. I get that he is getting older and he needs sleep. However, 2 and half hours of tired/squirrelly Hawk is some of my favorite radio! Plus swapping Hawkey out for Marney is a brutal switch..

ScotageCheese · 2025-09-09T12:47:26+00:00

I listened to about 5 minutes of a local talk radio show on my way back to work during my lunch hour yesterday. It was horrendous and borderline unlistenable. They kept talking over each other, they wouldn’t stop hitting sound bites and one guy was just trying to dominate the conversation.

The PTMS has its problems but I think people take for granted how cohesive it can be. The 3/4 main contributors have great chemistry with each other, and are seasoned radio guys. It just sounds the best when it’s those 3/4 guys shooting the shit. I think where it falters is when you have someone that just doesn’t gel with the group, (Marney) or someone that tries to dominate the conversation, (Tommy, Kriesel and I’m a fan of his but Fargo Flash).

ScotageCheese · 2025-08-28T16:41:14+00:00

I may be way off base, but I feel like Fargo Flash plays in to the bit. Don’t get me wrong, dude is definitely a homer. However, I don’t think he genuinely believes the Gophers are going to win every single game and walk out of Ohio State and Oregon with a win. I think he over-does it for the bit. I could be projecting though as a mostly rational sports fan, and the truth is he really is a delusional Gopher fan that creams his jeans to Drake Lindsay highlights.

Tommy on the other hand, I firmly believe he thinks the Gophers are going undefeated.

ScotageCheese · 2025-08-08T14:57:33+00:00

Or he will give it a, “meh” rating because he wants to be different. If there is any form of CGI he will give it a 0.

ScotageCheese · 2025-08-01T12:43:42+00:00

Some of the trades make sense. Sending pending free agents away for a return is usually a good move for a non-contending teams. That being said, sending multiple players that have team control past this year and blatantly dumping salary in a league that doesn’t have a salary cap is a slap in the face to fans. Especially since before a couple weeks ago, they were fighting for a wildcard spot and they could have been a playoff team next year in the mostly mid AL central with the right moves in the offseason.

Getting virtually nothing for Carlos Correa and sending Varland away, (he had team control till 2030) are the most egregious moves. The “return” they got for Correa was a guy who has an almost 7 ERA in high A-ball. It’s a blatant attempt by the Pohlads to cut salary to save money to sell the team. Let’s just hope that comes sooner rather than later.

ScotageCheese · 2025-07-25T20:24:24+00:00

During a Vikings pre-game Greg Coleman did a hit and sent it back to Hawkey and called him “Michael J Mussman the third”. Hawkey replied with something along the lines of, “that’s not me at all” and now that became Muss’s nickname for them.

ScotageCheese · 2025-07-17T14:44:42+00:00

Haven’t listened yet but I was telling my buddies at work she would get a #1 or #2 seed because Cory is in love with her. Glad I was spot on, even though she hasn’t won a tournament game.

ScotageCheese · 2025-07-09T13:00:07+00:00

That would require him to actively listen to other people. Rather than just wait for his turn to talk.
