00:00Trades are getting done around the league, so I don't really know what they're waiting for.

00:05Like, do they really think, they being like Sweeney, Neely, the Jacobs, like do they really think like,

00:10no, we have it, we just need to get healthy and, you know, we're gonna turn it around.

00:16I feel like it's enough of a sample, like they've played, what is it, was that their 53rd game last night I think it was?

00:21Yeah, might even be more.

00:23Might even be more.

00:23They've played more than every other team in the league.

00:26That is true.

00:26That is 53, you're right.

00:27Alright, so they've played 53 games.

00:30I feel like we've seen enough.

00:32They have issues.

00:33I think it's a combination of things.

00:34I still am more of the, they have underachieving players than the, they just have bad players.

00:41And I know that's what a lot of people are saying.

00:43We get more complaints about Sweeney and Neely than we do the actual players.

00:46I personally think more guys are underachieving.

00:48The crowd there last night was all over Sweeney, so I think that's representative of how a lot of fans feel.

00:53But yeah, maybe it's not, maybe it's their rosters, maybe not as good as we think.

00:57But the roster I don't think is a massive problem.

01:00The players are underachieving.

01:01When I say a massive problem, they should be a playoff team with this roster is what I mean.

01:04Not the best team in the league, maybe not even sniffing Winnipeg.

01:08But they should be a playoff team with this roster.

01:11Anybody who thinks that's not the case is crazy.

01:14But I think the real issue is in the room and you continue to see that over and over and over again with this team.

01:20Why are guys underachieving?

01:21They're all good.

01:22Why are guys underachieving?

01:24Because there's something going on there.

01:26Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with Swayman and his holdout.

01:30Players didn't like it.

01:31Marchand was all prickly about that contract way back when.

01:34There was definitely after effects to that.

01:37One, Swayman obviously didn't start the season really sharp himself.

01:41But I do think a lot of guys in there were kind of looking at him side-eyed.

01:44I mean, Marchand, point blank, said it to the public.

01:47You don't talk about contracts in the media or whatever.

01:49He's like, well, Swayman is.

01:50He came out and said it.

01:51The former coach was shoving Marchand, benching Posternak.

01:55He got his ass fired, which again speaks to something going on in there with the players.

02:00And then on top of that, you have what I believe, what you believe, you know.

02:06And I think a lot of people with a brain out there believe your report is right,

02:10that there's something going on with Marchand and Posternak.

02:12They get the head coach fired and then he is hired the next day.

02:16So it's not like, oh, what an awful coach he is.
