Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

06-03-26 Hour 1 - Golden Knights steal the show AGAIN/Rockies Bizarre HR + PS2 Pay Raise/Dempsey's NBA Baseline
Q: What is your take on the Knicks-Spurs Finals outlook and Victor Wembanyama's impact this series?
Wembanyama is a foundational game-changer whose offensive variety, shot-making, and defensive presence can redefine how Spurs approach each game; if the Knicks shooters continue their hot shooting, the series could be decided by whether Wembanyama dominates or if the Knicks' depth can counterbalance him.
05-27-26 Hour 2 - Will the Avs keep Jared Bednar/KJ's NFL Notes/Avs Cap Space for the offseason
Q: What are the chances Bednar is retained if the Avalanche miss the playoffs again?
The hosts acknowledge strong loyalty to Bednar but point to a history of quick coaching changes in the NHL after near-misses, suggesting ownership would evaluate based on the window and potential gains from a new voice.
04-29-26 Hour 2 - Conor McGahey joins us/KJ's NFL Notes/How to unlock effecient Jamal Murray
Q: How do you view Tyus Jones' minutes affecting Jamal Murray's playoff impact?
Jones can relieve Murray by taking 7-10 minutes on certain nights, potentially enabling Murray to be fresher for clutch moments late in games.
04-29-26 Hour 2 - Conor McGahey joins us/KJ's NFL Notes/How to unlock effecient Jamal Murray
Q: What did you think about the Ted Lindsey award considerations for McKinnon versus Kucherov?
The panel notes that McKinnon's strong regular season points are compelling, but the debate hinges on whether emerging players like Celebrini or long-time snubs should be favored by voters; Kucherov's late-season surge is also a talking point.
04-29-26 Hour 2 - Conor McGahey joins us/KJ's NFL Notes/How to unlock effecient Jamal Murray
Q: Scott Wedgwood was not a Vezina finalist after leading metrics; what's your take on that snub?
There's a frustration with the snub given Wedgwood's elite goals-against and save percentage, and the argument centers on whether the voters weigh traditional stats more than underlying metrics.
