| 0:00.0 | Personally, we all think that the season's way too long. |
| 0:03.0 | To me, most sports fans would love a truncated season in basketball |
| 0:08.9 | and a smaller season sample in baseball. |
| 0:12.5 | The other sports, they want to add an 18th game to football, |
| 0:16.0 | and nobody seems to complain about how long the hockey season is. |
| 0:20.6 | Well, I don't know about that. |
| 0:21.7 | I love hockey and I think hockey, they shouldn't be playing hockey in late. |
| 0:25.3 | They shouldn't. |
| 0:26.3 | Yeah, well, I'll tell you, you know, it's interesting with my team out of it and in |
| 0:30.1 | last place still, even though they're playing really well right now, it's kind of a weird |
| 0:35.0 | feeling. |
| 0:35.5 | Like, you know, now you're watching actually hockey you like to watch, |
| 0:40.3 | and the players that are now being asked to play more on the ice |
| 0:44.4 | are playing better and playing really well. |
| 0:48.1 | I mean, you know, the Rangers beat Minnesota the other day, |
| 0:50.5 | and it was basically a team that is one of the better teams in the Western Conference and is one of the odds on favorite to win the Stanley Cup. They go in there and they score four goals on them. Where was that? What the hell was going on? Three months ago. Yes. You know, for the length of the season. But in terms of the season, so you're bringing up something that Steve Kerr has been on now for a few weeks. This is not just something new from yesterday. |
| 1:12.1 | I love to hear what he has to say about this. |
| 1:13.9 | Well, this is basketball related. |
| 1:15.3 | And I think what he's saying is, I think a lot of people agree with him. |
| 1:20.0 | And he believes that the season is 10 games too long. |
| 1:22.6 | He wants to see a 70 or a 72 game season. |
| 1:27.4 | I am not. So that would be, let's say that would be five home games per team. And let's say it's five less games at Madison Square Garden. Sure. It also means... How much money are they losing? Which is why Josh Hart said it would never happen. Because the players are... They want to make the most money they can. They don't want to give anything anything back and if you're going to cut 10 games out of the season you've got to reduce pay by was that it would be more than 10% of you at 12 13% these guys aren't going to do it no they're not going to do it and they're not going to want to do it and they're going to want to just keep expanding expanding expanding expanding and getting more money from their TV contracts. |
