And not many of them are very high seats neither refuse a 12 seat and we think pretty highly of her as you in these parts but there are some good teams out there up and down the state or in the So Cal area and yeah number of our teams are going to have their hands full will also be talking with this what we're effort ing to at the bottom of the hour let me start backwards at the bottom of the hour we're going to Brian hold on to talk about the red hot Concours who are in Stockton tomorrow and come home Friday against Ontario some Saturday against Stockton again before they open things up with a 2 game set at Tucson they made a trade with Tucson by the way Randall talk about that as well but Connor was won 6 in a row a low 6 in a row as 12 points and you're keeping score there now 4 points clear of Tucson for the 4th and final playoff berth they are one of the hottest teams in the h.-l. Right now. And was about maybe 16 games left 15 I'd have to look I'm not I'm not sure right now but that's why we bring on our expert Yes Also we're effort ng I've been in contact just not having gotten confirmation although I know Rick is willing to do it Rick of a lot he is a reporter with the Las Vegas Review Journal and we want to talk about the Raiders and their new backing by the Bank of America to put a team in Las Vegas and by the way it might be of a fees go up any higher on the why. You want your always cracks me up but what cracks me up is like you see those insurance commercials every 5 minutes right progressive with that lady your pick your favorite commercial or your least favorite whatever you commercials they're on every 5 minutes they sponsor stuff that cost millions and billions of dollars and I sit there just go how much of my really get screwed on my rate because of all the advertising slash stuff that they do I mean are they really I mean how much is it really worth I got to wonder Yeah those commercials and I don't know if insurance is the most regulated or most unregulated thing going on and I'm sure somebody could wise me up to that but it just seems like there's so much wiggle room it's unbelievable it really does by the way basketball is going on wall to wall Clemson is knocked off the n.c. State. In the a.c.c. Tournament opening round 7561 Wake Forest right now is playing Boston College 2217 wake wake needs that game if they lose that game they're probably off the bubble just updated 251000 would tend to go if you are like me and you just have a distaste for teams from major conferences that can get in just because you like Syracuse. If they lose today to should be and they should be in any way in my estimation there are teams that are more deserving note I did not say better than I said more deserving there's a difference better than means do I think Syracuse could beat the other team Yeah yeah I do are they more deserving Well let's think they've lost half of their league games and most of them to begin been against bottom dwellers in their league Yes They beat Duke and then they've lost everybody else they never win on the road they win all their games at home in the Carrier Dome where they have 39000 crazies there and that's all they do if you change that resume live you know other teams eat here lost 6 in a row and then they want to game and suddenly the bracket Tala just brainiacs put up on the uprise because they want to game after losing 6 in a row if you're my favorite team lost 6 in a row tells the biggest Your last 6 in a row. Be putting dirt on him but no Xavier you can be you can lose 6 in a row because you had a hot start. It's a moving target every year oh if you have a strong finish it helps Well there have been a strong finish they lost 6 in a row but they're still on the bubble and other teams who have almost maxed out their schedule Yes from smaller conferences Yes the competition is good and they also have no wiggle room for error a minimum on a fan but monitors out there last in their tournaments they're the best team in the league they're not going no at large there tell us the biggest losers sorry you're not going. To go win or lose signal he's probably well last year they didn't. But know we can get the 7th place team from the Big 10 I mean Michigan State I know they have Tom Izzo and they have a great history and c.w.a. But don't tell me that they've played up to expectations or played played their way into this tournament no they haven't played their way into those tournaments and if they lose their 1st round game is should even be a conversation but it will be oh I can guarantee there might be a big conference team with 15 losses that gets into the Certainly did you hear me 15 losses you do know they're only allowed to play 31 games right you know that that means win lose win lose win lose win lose and that's good enough for the tournament yet if you're from a one big conference you go 28 and 2 and you lose your turn again you're done sorry there's a team that won last night and I think is better than a lot of the teams that are mid you know middle of the pack in bigger conferences u.n.c. Wilmington I bet you they could beat a lot of 5th 6th and 7th place certainly 8th and 9th place teams in big conferences but had they not won their tournaments last night in the colonial I don't know if they'd be and probably not it's a one big league So speaking of which let's talk ousted because field before we do a little programming note we do have the West Coast championship game tonight 545 St Marys they seem to play each other every year by the way can I just say this I just want to say this much and my friend Johnny Gill is going to accuse me of being the guy outside 711 screaming again whatever good Zagat is in there 20th straight West Coast Conference final if you've reached the finals of your conference 20 years in a row you either a play in a sucky conference or you need to get out of that conference. We're here in the case again sagging your private school and you can deal with it everybody's let you in the tournament anyway not that they don't deserve it because that is a great program but my point is that if you just wind up being just by showing up almost all the time then there's an issue here and they didn't win it 20 years around but they've been in the finals 20 years in a row 20 years in a row they've got guys who played on the 1st team who now have children who may be going to get sag to play and get in the finals for the leagues and then oh man and by the way there's more bids coming up later today oh it's fun it's fun teams you never even heard of teams you don't know their nickname of. Some teams you don't even know what state they're in Come on let's be honest if I said Monmouth real quick where's you know so the New Hampshire you know but this is fun and this gets everybody involved you got Jack and Jill down the hall who doesn't care rip about sports become bracket time they'll fill out a bracket Act One of them will probably win and there's sort of interested in it it's crazy how this time of year you know involves. Well I probably shouldn't say this but it came in my brain and I it's hard for me to stop when I think of it if the bad people of the world ever wanted to catch us off guard March Madness might be a good time I'm telling you maybe not our intelligence and no maybe not our intelligence people but the rest of us Ok I'd like to think our intel is got their ears open 36524 hours a day but the rest of us you know we're going to me and my team lost in the 1st round. You know meanwhile bad stuff happening around you. So we got the West Coast Conference championship tonight 545 tomorrow it's the Patriot League Championship at 415 Thursday we've got a.c.c. Semifinals 2 games beginning at 330 Friday the Pac 12 semifinals game one of 545 game 2 at 815 and that's just an appetizer because after that people we are getting rocking and rolling March Madness begins the week of the 13th Tuesday Wednesday we have those 1st 4 games Thursday and Friday we have around one games and Saturday and Sunday we have around 2 games so all the March Madness is going on there's also story percolating again in Las Vegas where the Raiders moved into Vegas and we of course have Tara car a very own from big or so Christian nice cool as the face of that franchise question is will he now have his face plastered on billboards in Las Vegas Vegas is booming baby they got hockey and they got n.f.l.

E.s.p.n. Sports all thanks to our sponsors Ultrix Mr Banks went solar on their. Killing caster on the other side the glasses we get rock n roll you know before I get into the Raiders real quick I'm noticing up on the screen they're talking about the m.v.p. Story in the n.b.a. Which is always a little bit ridiculous but quite Leonard's getting conversation here I know what you want to know how I don't quite letter is now a star slash superstar whatever the difference may be in the n.b.a. Last night he did a hop skip and jump travel across the lane that got no whistle he got the calls that superstars get I mean I don't know what he did it looked like he was doing the triple jump and nothing was called and he got the bucket he also went for 39 and right after the game is just coincidence right after the game he was drug tested the I don't have baseball box give a job but he was drug tested right after the game players get drug tested randomly 4 times a year and this story just happened to come out because they wanted to interview him after the game and it took a while because while he was well let's just say he high rate high graded so it's a good while for quiet to supply what they want to supply and then he got to the post-game interview so that's a completely different track than where we wanted to go as we're talking the Raiders and we have course I mean in this building alone we have people with Raider tattoos rater this Raider that I mean it's Raider infested in this building there's no doubt about it and this town is 2 this town loves the Raiders and that's before Derrick Carr became their quarterback now they've got another reason to be invested as the b.c. Just quarterback has led them to new heights to the playoffs last year if only he had not gotten injured who knows what happened but now we're talking about Vegas which I tell you what I mean you've got a hockey team which I think is going to be extremely successful for a number of different reasons I think they've already got a great ticket fan base and on a given night how many people in the East Coast are in Vegas an East Coast Hockey towns they're going to go see hockey in Vegas while they're there as well. Our next guest can talk about that as well but 1st we're going to talk a Raider football has Rick the lot I didn't get a sports reporter I got a business reporter with tourism transportation aviation because they're much more well bred and smarter than us sports guys and can give us insights that sports guys we just look at the score and then we asked stupid questions these guys ask more intelligent questions so to that end Rick a lot of joins us from the Las Vegas Review. As we are going to talk a little bit about. The Raiders and the latest move with the Bank of America and again Las Vegas Review Journal is where Rick is from Rick how you doing I'm doing great and thanks for having me on it don't don't sell yourself short sports guy intelligent questions to make intelligent answers yeah that's a that's a Occasionally we occasionally get lucky and stuff comes through but I can speak from experience that what you guys do is much more in-depth than what we do we are sort of hit and run get in and get out you know less and less you've got a big part where you can do a feature story but I'm talking like in this market here we're sort of where 11 different hats and so we get in get out and all that kind of stuff follow a couple of my buddies now work in Vegas you've probably seen them on t.v. Over there but none the last let me ask you this been a roller coaster for Las Vegas with the Raiders hasn't hope from start to finish because 1st off you know we never even thought of ourselves being n.f.l. Capable in this town because we kind of knew but the league really didn't like gambling at all so so they say from the very start we just didn't think that this was going to happen and then things just started rolling up about one year ago and then from there it's just been incredible all the ups and downs that we've been through you know the company policy for the n.f.l. Is not like gambling but it's their life blood when it comes to not only Vegas but just you know. What people do I mean probably more than any sport the n.f.l. Has people looking at lines to see what's going on in. They can get rich quick or things of that nature but let me ask you know that and I know that as I think a lot of students back used to not. About as far as if I were to ask your rec you know when 1st things 1st came about that Vegas might get and it fell team and they had a casino backing and then he stepped away and now they got Bank of America I would imagine this is much more palatable to the n.f.l. And to other owners as well I suspect that is as well because the think tank of America does a lot of work with the n.f.l. Teams already so it's not really a big surprise that they would be involved with this deal in some way shape or form the fact that they would presumably fill in the $650000000.00 gap left when Sheldon Adelson withdrew from the from the deal I think that speaks a lot towards. The N.F.L.'s confidence and comfort level with having them in the deal to to help the Raiders out and Rick answer me this is just the. I guess the temperature of the city of Las Vegas in the outlying areas in terms of when Mr Adelson pulled out what a gut punch that was in the air taking out all the people who are so optimistic and then turn around and tell me how they're feeling today I think there is a little bit of a mixed feelings on that because I think that from the from the start that most people recognize that Mr Adelson would not be reconsidered for ownership in the team or in the stadium because of the fact that he has ties with the casino industry so the but the thing was is that after that happened after he withdrew I think there were a lot of folks who said well there's a whole bunch of money in Las Vegas somebody is going to come forward that doesn't have a casino time and we just didn't know who it was going to be well in this case it wasn't from Las Vegas necessarily It was a Bank of America so I think that the fact that they stepped forward it was something we kind of anticipated somebody would do it eventually is there is no there is so you quantify it for me what portion or percentage of people aren't real jazzed about having the Raiders come because I'm sure there are some out there and what group do they belong to if. There's a grouping that you can put them in back says we don't want an f l We we've done a little bit of research into that and I'd say it's probably about 2 thirds would have. To be here and the remaining one 3rd I think you have to kind of classify that as being some of them really are more there they would love to have the n.f.l. Here but they just don't like the idea of public money being used to to build a stadium that that being said the stadium isn't just for n.f.l. It actually provides $3.00 solutions to the problems that Nevada has faced one being lack of jobs another being that they needed to replace a stadium for you in l.v. Football the. And then 3rd of all kind of supports the tax base and increases the amount of tax revenue that's coming in on various fronts and that in itself will generate enough income generate enough revenue that is true to solve some of the problems that we have like education and health care in the state and when this goes through and gets the votes from the owners Is there anybody this other than Mark Avis anybody that will be happier than the people. Well I think yeah he's going to be ecstatic because they're going to be in a state of the art stadium by 2020 and that's that's that's huge for them because the stadium in Las Vegas where they play is probably about 15 miles from campus so there's not a big student. Attendance at some of their games this will be a lot closer and it will be a lot more comfortable to be so I think that you want to. Expect that not only will they will that improve their. Viability in the market but it also will serve as a recruitment tool and of course these hopes is that eventually they would climb to a top tier sports league and. Ranking up there with the Pac 12. That's right I've just lived in Montana for years so I know cold and let me tell you one of the coldest nights I ever spent my life was a Vegas Bowl between u.c.l.a. And Wyoming and so I was there to. Sam Boyd Stadium Vegas and I mean. And I nearly froze in my chair it was unbelievably cold that night. You know people don't really know they recognize that we have hot days in the summertime but they don't realize especially out of sample stadium out that when can just come in and. See it is very good I've spent a few games at that stadium that it's been too cold and certainly that that ball game. Stans I think I stayed for the entire game was just to Lucky you. Let me ask you real quick about hockey because I'm just interested in terms of how that's going to fly in that town I think it's going to do very well because again I think you guys have a really good already support base in terms of season tickets already sold I think that's part of what pushed you guys over on the n.h.l. They say they've got a lot of support here but also so many people come from so many different parts of the country and other countries for that matter that love hockey that see a home game that night or while they're in town they'll probably take a look real I agree with you Greg I think that this is going to be. A really good hockey venue for n.h.l. And there's a couple more reasons one race is the very 1st major league team that's going to be in Las Vegas so they'll have something special for that you know to the season ticket sales I think it's like $12000.00 plus you know a venue that seats about $20000.00 so that'll be a tremendous base of fan support you mention in your lead in that they're going to be people from the east coast coming in hockey games think about Canada and we have a lot of people who come to Las Vegas from Canada in the winter months and they're going to love to be to be at that venue and then of course we signed our 1st player just yesterday so that everybody's excited about that I think it's going to be a slam dunk win and the fact that the rules have changed in hockey and they're going to be competitive presumably right away I think it speaks well for what the franchise is looking to do and it's going to be when those destinations where you see a lot of opposing sweaters in the stands it's not going to be just Vegas paraphernalia in the stands it's sort of gonna be like if you go to a baseball game in San Diego. The other Fayad base as much exactly so you're going to see a little bit of that. When did things change Rick when it became that you guys. What I mean by that is Vegas was the you know be all end all of bad things in gambling and we can't have a pro sport here now you've got hockey n.f.l. Here I know you've dabbled got really you've got AAA baseball and I know there was talk of baseball what happened that changed all this. Well I think over the over the last 10 years or so a lot of people have changed their attitudes about the gambling industry certainly in Nevada. Are probably one of the top places in the world where the regulatory environment is pretty strict. Back in the Pech in the fifty's in the forty's in the fifty's we had the mob and gangsters running the casinos but that was all cleaned up in the sixty's in the seventy's and regulatory body came into place and I think that when street started investing in some of the Las Vegas hotels and casinos that people kind of recognize that this is on the up and up and just kind of taken time over the years to to change that prevailing attitude and I think one of the last places where that is in the n.f.l. Where you do have a lot of old school owners that don't like gambling in any way shape or form but you still have some owners who are invested in daily fantasy sports I think that the tide is starting to turn in terms of people's attitudes toward gambling and I don't mean to turn this in a different direction but I'm just my observations from over the years no one is going to be happier than have a bunch of rich athletes coming to town especially n.f.l. But even the hockey players in the casinos and the strip clubs I had to say that but I'm just saying. That is a fact of life. That is true and that's certainly something that. Not lost on people who live here the other part of it too is that a lot of these players are going to be paying taxes into our system because of the fact that they play here and that is recognize when you have. $1000000.00 contracts on athletes to play here they're going to be putting something into the Nevada's coffers and that's something that we also look at so presumably some of the some of the problems that might come out of having. In our clubs and in our. Casinos maybe that would be also looked at in a positive way in terms of helping to pay for some of the solutions to those problems yeah yeah let me ask you final question they need 24 of 32 votes from the owners and you say. Maybe you don't have. 2028 but I mean I'm. In favor Yeah well I've pretty much figured you're talking in favor and the Raiders usually abstain from votes I think they'll have one in this one well I don't I think they might. Yeah absolutely so they listen. Yeah it well absolutely I'll tell you what it's interesting to see if it will be close who votes against you know the whole charger and ram conundrum and things going on there you know I'm curious who would vote against this that's probably going to be as interesting as the vote itself so we'll just have to wait and see Rick thank you so much for your time and for the insight in terms of what's going on in Vegas just given us a pulse of you know how things are going there because Man oh man there's no there's no those sleepy nights there in Vegas thank you like Rick for having me I really appreciate that you bet that's Rick a lot again he's with Las Vegas Review Journal and he's a reporter with tourism transportation aviation but did a fine article on what's going on with the Raiders and their proposed move and they're backing by the Bank of America so again I bank Bank of America if the fees go up I will know I will know if my a.t.m. Charges go up shortly after this acquisition of back in the Raiders for the stadium don't do it don't sneak something in there in the fine print and I'm not seeing and I'll miss it believe me but to play go on this should be about Vegas not about some dude in Bakersfield or Barstow or somewhere in the Midwest is just going to his bank and get charged to take care of that stadium I know they would never say that's what's happening but you know. Anyway are going to take a quick break when we come back ador Zaki boy are they playing some great hockey well have the latest on the right home is the great curse show at 12 30 am not a point f.m.

Radio Greg Cody was laughing at his own jokes and still God was rummaging through the garbage and pulling things out throwing them over his shoulder to get what it is that he had to read at the beginning of the segment I gather that is what we're working with it's very frustrating weekday mornings from 7 till 9 am e.s.p.n.

Back to break her show on 12 30 am 98 when it hit us sports sure brought to you by machine Bank land solar an air killing caster on the other side and last night thanks again to our. Insight from coming from Las Vegas as we're talking about the Raiders and moving there so. Rick from the Las Vegas Review Journal coming on board to talk about. The vote that's coming up the fact that Bank of America is going to back the Raiders' new stadium and raise rates and prices maybe maybe not I don't want to bad mouth me. Again then my bank but they're not all right so we're going to talk Congress hockey they are as odd as they have been all season just look at the standings and you'll see that is the case and they are looking to do some more damage than back on the road tomorrow Stockton home to Ontario Friday 5 dollar frenzy coming at you again and then they're home to Stockton on Saturday so they can do some more damage 6 game win streak don't want to jinx that why not make it 9. Quick points in the blink of an eye to that and we're joined by the director broadcasting Reinhold to talk all things Congress right now you Don. Up and down to get ready to head up to 99 a doctor in and humid in the day when you're in good spirits all the good right now absolutely and yeah you're feeling good of course you're feeling good things are going right now and and also as you get ready to play a game or 2 I should say and just to peak ahead you're going to be at Tucson and you guys made a deal with them. Yeah yeah the age alone and trade deadline it's a truly deadline essentially and you need to live over the word should be using the most fans but the n.h.l. Has their trade deadline last week and then tomorrow is actually the a.t.l. Trade deadline those are for for guys who are currently are on a contract the last opportunity you have to trade or to make deals with those type of players would be tomorrow and you have a condo as the made one yesterday acquired among all but on loan from Tucson to some of the pay is contract for the rest of the year not to get into all the details but David knew Steele was sent to Tucson he was reassigned basically from the bigger subs to Sun So essentially a trade for a forward upfront veteran guy who has been around the league for a long time live in Lake Erie was was a prominent stop you dropped my color out of the avalanche back in 08 he's a guy who's had some big numbers in this league and we've seen it now with just wanting coming over last week in a trade with Taylor back you know a new opportunity for spontaneous He had 4.2 games so hopefully the same could ring true for all very he'll be in the lineup this week and he will be with us tomorrow night soccer but he would been on the weekend and we would save me all the best you know an opportunity for him to have a chance at a new organization and do I thought of and strong a steady defenseman and I think the multitude of defense in the numbers game kind of caught up with with David here over the last couple of months the new Oilers have a lot of prospects in the system whether the bench been 2 really good ones in the Western Hockey League and one they just signed out of the Ontario League the 3 guys that are in the Congo or in the next couple of weeks once their season then. We'll see what happens there but yeah the numbers game kind of catching up with David and we wish him the best moving on to some yet and I'm also from back in the days his dad was a former general manager here channels or so the connection there as well. You know the the the fontina back to play and I think people know this my wife has been. In the hospital for some time and I've taken some time off so I've not been in the wheel house tell me exactly when and where that happened in your thinking behind that. It was last week it was right at the n.h.l. Trade deadline and still are back obviously one of our leading scorers is you know one of our top only guys. But wasn't really in the the n.h.l. Plans I think for Edmonton and when you're not really in the n.h.l. Plans you know the Oilers are always looking for an opportunity to get a guy who could potentially be in their plan Fontayne more of a 2 way player he's a guy who can play on the penalty kill He's going to put up a lot of. The wrong especially in the a.t.l. Level but in the n.h.l. You've been there the last 3 years fully with Minnesota he was a guy who was on the tracking lines that were guy who used to kind of play in that role that Edmonton might need in the future Taylor back was not certainly that role and he was a year off and forward and he was going to get those minutes in the n.h.l. And I think it was an opportunity for both you know like I mentioned get a fresh start Fontayne is 29 years old just about to turn 30 and he's a he's a guy who's been in the n.h.l. The last refill didn't but Minnesota so we're lucky to have him because he's been using great for us to get 4 points over the weekend and Scarlets he probably should have 5 minutes or wide open and you know. He's been great for us and hopefully to new because we've been getting from all 4 lines and that's been great you kick some absolute but Charlotte 5 to 72 that's impressive regardless of how good a team they are in there I know they're Ok but to travel east and score that many goals and win those 2 games was was big Absolutely and you know you know Charlotte's record is 500 they were battling for a playoff spot really going to be 10 in the condors and kind of put a little damper on that number of them that you mentioned there were 71 of the last 10 they were playing very well here as of late that Charlotte he was much different than a human progress saw back in back in December here in Vegas field so yeah you mentioned you know the travel is always a concern we got in an extra day or early just to make sure that you know the guys kind of got acclimated to go in and try to get on their normal sleep schedule and normal game day routine but those were 2 games that played in 15 hours. Basically we ended the game and 9 o'clock on Saturday night we're back in the ring I want to go again the next day and Noble teams had to go through it by you have to imagine the team that traveled across country probably would have felt it more than the the other team but credit to the Saunders team that image any external came out early they want to make sure that they had a good for a period and maybe be able to settle in the game that's exactly what happened in Charlotte in the hole in the tank there in the in the 3rd period because the condors were just too good on some that prior to that you had a home shot over Texas you shut out Texas out and. The goalie goalie the 3rd time in 2 years the Texas been shut down that was a pretty good beat Yeah and you know that's another game and when you. Go on and got great goaltending on a Dallas he's one of the last 6 star in the top 5 and save percentage he's up to 13 wins on the air he quietly making a real case for himself to be on the already team if not Ricky of the year the American Idol a guy I know there's some guys but not some good options of numbers but Ellis says I mean when you look at the numbers and it's basically just because he's he's such a quiet kid and such a quiet person between the pipes that you know I don't think he gets the credit that he deserves but he's having a fantastic season right now so the contours and you know he's a what's likely he's going to get written here down the stretch for Bakersfield I think the the kind of sign was made on Sunday with rolling back Ellington the pipes 15 hours after the last cannon he was great on Sunday too so I think this is his this is that for the rest of the year and hopefully it's a long way off from obviously you know coaches always saying g.m. Stu that you build from the goalie out in the you've got a hot goalie and a guy that's going strong that's great but if I were to ask you you know have side of Nick's great play is that put your finger on what this win streak has been all about other than maybe the easy outs of chemistry or the pucks bounce in our way what do you see that's maybe. A big factor in this hot streak. The 2 big things one of been have been face offs with the team have struggled with through a little bit of that while their last couple of weeks ago getting Anton Lander just Perris even called us needing help he's a natural sentiments or a guy who used to play and you know down the middle and control and face off and that's been a key for this team and then leading into that is practice session one thing always talks about you know we want to progress you know hold on the fact of long lost them you know and and they don't give the fuck away and the team out and done that over the last 3 weeks so it's been you know getting possession of the faceoff control in the possession controlling the flow of the play the controlling how this team wants to play the game can get up and down the ice we just had a little bit Shiela probably a little bit too much for her Jerry's liking but at the end of the day we capitalize on an opportunity down and and that's just been the difference you know this team is green with confidence right now they can see the light at the end of the tunnel during the what's going on around the American Hockey League and kind of looking at the standings and realize hey we're on the sensel in your game's up on you saw you have the tie break you know we're going to Stockton tomorrow night they're 5 points back to put them 7 points back and have the tiebreaker on them so they can really do some damage this week with the 2 in one week in 2 wins over Stockton or 2 with one weekend one of those would be in stock and the other one cannot carry them so it's the big week again and then this team just taking it day by day and it is far as you know what am I correct like tomorrow the 17 games left town tomorrow is that correct 17 games left out tomorrow and 3 of them are against doctrine and 2 of them are instruments on which 2 teams that are directly below us in the standings and put the case on right and then as you see when you look at the standings and want Texas only has one fewer point than 5 games more than they played so you've got 5 games in hand where you can pick up 10 points so that's very misleading there although the standings reflect that they're in 7th place but. San Jose San Diego Ontario let's just look ahead for a moment if we could I don't want to presume anything just because they're hot that they're in the playoffs we know that's not the case yet but having said that if you look ahead to the playoffs in the top 4 the way they're playing now. Are they as good as anybody right now or what. I think so you know San Jose has been odd but you know and the a.g.l. Is the one with league in the sense that you never know we're going to have a government and you when you get in the playoffs and you have your n.h.l. Team in the playoffs that kind of the road in a dozen little ring and they don't need to have a team able b.h.l. In n.h.l. Playoffs and actually Anaheim will have a deep ball and then you know it's all a good in Ontario haven't evolved out of the Congress get in with a lot of even Bollman that are kind of the old 4 teams on the Pacific in the n.h.l. In the end of the age also you know what you get the last 5 games are among them and they can happen in that 5 game series and the Condors are played the same at the top here in Bakersfield haven't had much there they don't say but you know the playoffs are a completely different breed and the team has played well against Ontario all year . Long extended a go in spurts by then that's been tough matchup for the condors team with the way San Diego plays but I think San Jose is right for the picking of this stronger team and to find a way out of the Goddard certainly the most dangerous team out of these time really battling in the morning final playoff run let me ask you as far as and because I take a peek at Edmonton games and I occasionally look to see if Bruce wants and is usually Talbot of course but what's the latest on Bruce One terms of how many times he's been between the Net I'm trying to again I've looked a number of times and it always seems to be Talbot in between the pipes I'm just curious if you have any numbers. Yeah exams played obviously the move I think by the most minutes or 2nd most minutes in the in the n.h.l. And they've kind of rode him down the stretch and it's one of the very biggest camps probably of the 5 netminder right now in the n.h.l. And he's played $33.00 starts to win one with Edmonton going into another game which they pulled it out as well too but he's up there for good he'll be up there as a backup for the rest of year in the playoffs you know he's they've they made the sins of the trade deadline not to go out and get a another veteran goaltender and not to go out and put someone else in the system so I'll be the guy for this year he's under contract for next year to be the guy up there again next year you know what can Talbot and you know it's great to see you know he's he's well deserved a full time right up there and Edmonton and yes certainly have been with the time and with the Oilers time in the n.h.l. And it's a tough one because there's only you know one starting job you know right or the Fed's going to be of such defensemen and Hannah that around again in every other game but for goaltenders there's only one guy. You know he's not to learn on the Talbot who learned under Henrik Lundqvist remember your forgot his contract will be well below the rest of the air and the little seam in the bottom 2 more quick questions and one would. In regard to what you guys have coming up as far as just promotions I know you're on the road tomorrow but this weekend. Yeah Friday night is our $5.00 frenzy for Condor and capsule basically couple different styles of pondering basement baseball caps on Friday night and get up there with them for just $5.00 each so that's a great deal on Friday night not Saturday night we're going to go classic Again we're knocking them off from Saudi we're going to give you a team car too so the 1st 2000 fans 5 and older and then our season ticket holders not for the game and not of the world you might want to come on here in the next couple days because after the game we'll have a meet the team party with all the players after the game on that and I. Can go in on this weekend you're the options and then the 5 dollar hats on and on Friday night and you know you like you mention the hottest in the Pacific Division and making a real strong case to make a deep playoff run here down the stretch by the way I know my brain is just kicked in I don't know what works in mysterious ways but when you said 5 fans 5 years and older and you guys will go to the ends of the earth for promotions to hear about the 5 year old girl who won the spelling bee contest. I briefly caught it last night yes I think I read everything I can ignore counting when here in Kern County it was a regional I don't know where it was where she's from I just know that she didn't like kids that were 15 years old she's 5 so all you might have to have a feeling the competition has been going on like maybe in Bakersfield you could play off that knew where she from recants Kansas because just talk to us. And you might just want to throw that out there so my last question is this given the fact that the Oilers are making a playoff push and doing a great job and the contours are as well refute take injuries out of the equation should we see much player movement. We shouldn't the Oilers are only allowed to play or call out that are interrelated and we shouldn't be much good bit it would depend on of the odds or are eliminated but I didn't want that moderately to the done you'll be 7 or 8 guys go right up to Edmonton to become the blockade that if you will but it long but call and order to win it no going through or don't win it I think you'll be pretty much the thing you don't read the only player come down from Edmonton and way out of apparently up there right now would you are Kara really wanted to make it but the playoffs but a Congress that they want him to play but by my hunch you're not going to give them up there are going to. Hear down the right wing and into the playoffs but yeah that pretty much Madonna's only being added women are going to call it ranked and I'm going to. Start making the binding here and typically right and will enjoy your time in Stockton come back with a win and we'll see you Friday night migrate will be the big debate about how you Bennett's Reinhold director broadcast with a conference quick break when we come back here to jump into a little more County basketball I'd ride born his hidden talents That's next on the breakers on 12 30 am not a 0 point f.m.

Yeah all right so let's jump in to cast a basketball here is that the other women are seated 3rd. They play tomorrow 7 o'clock and you talk about a very winnable game to beat them twice this year after that if they win they basically have to beat Seattle which beat them twice here Mexico State which beat them twice that is the path to the instability tournament for the c.s.u. The women here is their head coach Greg McCall you know it's going to be a tough row but it's it's open it's just this league is so wide open Well you know I know that Mexico State hasn't lost a game. And I'm a coach and I we talk with our coach track was a really good friend of mine we both talk about how wide open it is for you know anybody to win it and just just a matter of time you know somebody knocking off from the New Mexico State I know I mean did last year and so why not us why not us exactly why not us ladies a game played 7 o'clock tomorrow our John Vause on the t.v. Sides in Vegas where we'll be in Vegas taking care of business of all your highlights Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday if a political Ok we got about 3 minutes left the show we have a caller who do we have right now you don't rank pretty good it's not quite up you can answer how do I have to determine how many place names in my lower seat into an upper division 2 went to Division one like they did with Ridge you mean in the state playoffs Yeah Ok I was give us a smart button say they turn out the lights and use the dart board but actually this is what they do it devalues championships are not are determined by different way in terms of the seating whereas state is on. Attendance. And so that changes everything so that's how rich you became Division one. Drops the division to correct yes. So technically the program also Yeah it's weird that way we sort of live in this one world all the way to Valley and then we get to state and not that the rules change well I guess the rules do change but that's that's sort of what happens and it's just you know get used to it because everybody it happens all across the state. So that's it. Nothing sinister just it's just the way they work that. I think is right for she had it you bet all right so anyway. All right so you don't have cold misled somebody give you the rod barn story about his secret santa and that Smith starts the story Coach Barnes is going to end it and basically it's that. Coach Barnes ever since he was a child Mississippi can play a pretty mean game of pool like billiards Ok he's pretty darn good and it turns out a year ago just in pride and Kevin Mays 2 of the more competitive guys were playing a game and now Barnes stepped down here's how Matt Smith picks it up on the walked in he started talking before you know it can't go on the play and who. Really really wants the were. Really aggressive and Manning backing up on Mars and him like that because it was a no win that they go Wow Oh. Guys and the reason I beat them because I played as opposed to. You know so I don't try to make your shot some time I try to put the cue in a position that they can make and they don't understand so they're frustrated and I'm talking to them because the trash talk when I play pool I'm telling you off. You know put the cue ball the. Ball and then I do and then they get frustrated and somewhere along the way my patients and having to make mistakes I've been successful if I could just see Rod work in the pool table circling around talking trash I can't I really can't but he's good at it he does it with a smile by the way that's a wrap does the great show at 12 30 am 98 point f.m.
