Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00 - No Moser, no Vic, no Bednar, no problem! The show must go on! Erik Johnson tapped in for an injured Bedsie and had a nice one-on-one chat with Kaner this morning. 

14:54 - Today's show is turning into an all-day appetizer how. A texter asked us - can you eat appetizers all day? Brett is team All Appertizers. 
Next, what will the Nuggets rotation look like in the playoffs? Teams usually shorten their rotation significantly in the postseason, but that might not work for the Nuggets.

31:00 - Oh, by the way...Moser is back! He made it! Oh, by the way...LaMelo Ball had a weird incident last night where he got tangled up with Bam Adebayo under the basket. Bam got hurt and didn't play the rest of the game. Was it intentional? What did LaMelo have to say after the game? How about Erik Spoelstra? Oh, by the way...Blue Jackets Head Coach (for now) Rick Bowness was mad, sad, angry, disappointed, all the emotions in his postgame presser last night.

0:00 - The Colorado Wagon keeps rolling, even in garbage time! The Avs beat the Flames on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back! MacKinnon reached 53 goals and Marty Nachos recorded his 100th point. Great night all around. The Avalanche are back at Ball tomorrow night to wrap it all up!
Moser got back from Calgary super late last night. So we're gonna let him catch a few extra winks of sleep. He'll join us later...hopefully...

14:51 - Almost all of the national media is picking the Nuggets to beat the Timberwolves in Round 1. Even friend of the program Nick Wrong is picking the Nuggets! Does that say more about how good the Nuggets are? Or the deficiencies of the Timberwolves?

34:12 - Jim Nantz went on Pat McAfee yesterday and said he spotted Bo Nix at the Masters! He was walking around Augusta with Drake Maye. The ankle looks fine, according to Nantz. Nothing predisposed about it! Are we still worried about his ankle? Is that still a concern we should have heading into next season/the forseeable future?

0:00 - The NBA implemented the 65-game rule to try and force players to be available. To curb so-called "load management." But here's the thing...Bruce Brown appeared in all 82 games this year! He's the only Nugget who played in every single regular season game. And yet, he's not eligible for any postseason awards because he didn't average enough minutes per game. That's wild. The rule needs to be tweaked somehow. 

15:30 - The Avalanche are in Calgary tonight on the 2nd night of a back to back! What are the keys to the game? Did Moser actually give us a key?

32:25 - This week off between the end of the regular season and the first Nuggets playoff game is going to KILL us. The more time we have, the more our mind wanders. The more our mind wanders, the more we overthink. The more we overthink, the more we start to question if the Nuggets can beat Minnesota in Round 1. Enough thinking! Can it be Saturday already?

0:00 - Yesterday, Aqib Talib said the Broncos might make another flashy move on draft night. Let's expand on that...what does he mean? Does he mean the Broncos would try to trade up and draft someone? Or package some picks for a draft night trade?

14:04 - The Pacific Division is a wonderful dumpster fire! All the playoff teams are set, BUT playoff SEEDING is still up in the air. The Avalanche could face any of 4 different teams in Round 1 with 2 games remaining in the regular season. That's crazy. Of all those options, which team would you want to see first?

32:35 - Oh, by the way...a kid just broke Usain Bolt's 200m sprint time. And his name is...Gout Gout. Oh, by the way...Doc Rivers "stepped down" as head coach of the Bucks. Poor guy can't find a consistent job anymore. Oh, by the way...the Costa Rica Women's National Soccer Team recently won a game 21-0. Their offensive charge was lead by a player named Priscila Chincilla.

0:00 - Yesterday, the Bednar-less Avalanche beat the Oilers in a shootout! The Avs have nothing to play for, and yet the Oilers are still fighting for seeding! What a tough break for Edmonton. There's a reason their goalie angrily smashed his stick after Nathan MacKinnon buried the shootout winner.

14:28 - Over the weekend, the DU Pioneers won their 11th national championship! That's 2 more than any other D1 men's hockey program. For Head Coach David Carle, it's his 3rd title in 5 years. How has he built such a consistently dominant program? Coach joined us today to look back on his incredible season.

34:30 - Do we still fear the T-Wolves? There was a time when Minnesota struck fear into the hearts of every Nuggets fan. Will this year be different? How confident are we that the Nuggets can survive the Wolves and make it to Round 2?

0:00 - Think about how crazy this Nuggets season was. They suffered a ton of injuries to key players, had different lineups every single night, and still won 54 games with a (sort-of) first year head coach. AND they set the franchise record for road wins. Insanity. 

14:36 - Sorry for the lack of music, as always. For context: Vic did one of his live reads for Flatirons Fire, and said they sell grills. Not the kind for your teeth, though. So we had to bump back with Grillz by Nelly and Paul Wall. It only felt right. Once we got that out of our system...
The Avs have 3 games left before the playoffs, and they don't have a first round opponent solidified yet. It could still be Nashville, LA, or Anehim. In all honesty, does it really matter who they play? And speaking of their remaining schedule, what are the keys to an Avalanche victory tonight in Edmonton?

33:16 - The NBA's 65 Game Rule has come under a lot of scrutiny this season, both good and bad. Charles Barkley had some...pointed comments about the rule on Inside the NBA this weekend. Chuckster? Opinionated? No way!

0:00 - The Nuggets wrapped up the regular season with a casual 12-game win streak. NBD. Give credit to the bench, man. They looked GREAT this weekend. Yesterday, they were playing a Spurs team that actually wanted/needed to win! Sure, Wemby wasn't playing, but the rest of the roster is stacked too! And the Nuggets B Team answered the bell. That's a great sign.

14:54 - Rory McIlroy won his second straight Masters. He became the 4th golfer ever to go back-to-back at Augusta. But, he also said he's been practicing at Augusta a lot. He'll drop his daughter off at school, fly a private jet to Augusta, get a few rounds in, head home, then have dinner with his family. Is that an unfair advantage? Should Augusta limit the number of times you can play there before the Masters?
Also, Aqib Talib said on his podcast that the Broncos might be making another big move this offseason...keep your eyes peeled on draft night...He was right about them getting another offensive weapon! Could he be right on this one as well?

34:10 - Oh, by the way...like 3 seconds after our show wrapped up on Friday, the Walton-Penner Group purchased a 40% minority ownership stake in the Rockies. Woah! What does that mean for the Rox? Oh, by the way...are we really still making golfers manually write down their scores on a scorecard? It's 2026, man. Oh, by the way...Mike Vrabel isn't attending the Patriots pre-draft press conference. Shocker.

0:00 - And with that, the 2025-2026 NBA Regular Season is in the books. 82 games. The Nuggets finished the season by casually winning 12 games in a row and clinching the 3 seed. That's insane. Go back to, say...March 1. Could you picture the Nuggets rattling off 12 wins and climbing to the 3 seed? Not at all. What a wild turn of events.

15:31 - The Avs lost to Vegas on Saturday and...we don't really care. We felt nothing watching that game. Everyone stay healthy and let's get to the playoffs. The only notable thing from that game was a flying puck hitting Coach Bednar in the face! He's staying at home and recuperating instead of traveling to Edmonton and Calgary. Understandable. Get better soon, Bedsie!

32:23 - The DU Pioneers are national champions once again! That's 11 titles for the Men's Hockey team. Let's be honest...THEY'RE the real Colorado Wagon. But that being said, the ESPN crew disrespected the Pioneers on the broadcast moments after they secured the chip. We have to stop doing this!

0:00 - The Nuggets are hosting the Thunder tonight, and OKC is playing...no one. They have the 1 seed locked up. They have absolutely no reason to play any big guns. So what should the Nuggets do? Should they rest their top dogs too? Do they need more wins to ensure the get the 3 seed? What's the play here?
If they decide they need a win tonight, what are the keys to the game?

11:55 - Don't be nervous about the Avs! We're not doing curse stuff. The Presidents' Trophy curse is a bunch of hogwash. Don't overthink this. The Avs are good. They're better than everyone else. Therefore, they're going to win. It's simple math.

27:59 - Moser doesn't like Patrick Reed because of everything about him as a human being. His words, not mine. Part of that includes how Patrick Reed runs. Moser made fun of his running. So, Brett and Vic challenge Moser to do a better job. They sent him out into the hallway to run and prove he has better form.
After that, it's time for our favorite part of the week DRUNK TAKES! We take clips from throughout the week, slow em down to half speed and it makes us sound like we're hammered!

0:00 - The Avs clinched the Presidents' Trophy last night! They're the top team in the NHL. Should they start resting guys now? Who should sit out these last few games?
After that...SGA is still the favorite to win NBA MVP. But Jokic is gaining a ton of momentum from this 10-game win streak. The national media is finally embracing something they should've noticed months again.

14:01 - Do gimmicks on the Masters broadcast bring in any new fans? Are any non-golf fans tuning in because of Jason Kelce being on the broadcast? Do stunts like that actually work?
The rink mics caught a few crystal clear F-bombs from MacKinnon last night during the Avs game. Now he's gotta go to his bedroom. Two minutes for being bad.

29:05 - Oh, by the way...the Padres were awarded an automatic double play after a video review yesterday. Did the Rockies get jobbed? Or was it the right call? Oh, by the way...the Jaguars are moving Travis Hunter to full-time cornerback. He'll play a couple "gadget plays" on offense, but that's it. Oh, by the way...do you like chocolate ice cream or vanilla ice cream? Depending on your answer, you might be able to play QB at Oregon.
