Barn Burner: Boomer & Pinder with Rhett Warrener - Did Jared Bednar Just Coach His LAST Game In Colorado?? | BB Clips

Starting point is 00:00:00 You talked about Bednar. Here's Jared Bednar. We played his clip after game three. A little down. He was a little somber. The somber tones continued last night. You wonder if he's... You wonder if they knew.

Starting point is 00:00:14 If they knew, felt it coming, knew it was coming, and now what's next? Here's Jared Bednar. You know, I'll look at this and we'll see how it goes. But we run into a buzz song, Vegas. I think they deserve the credit. And it's not a knock on our guys. and how hard we played, but they're a well-o machine right now, peeking at the right time.

Starting point is 00:00:35 And I look at their series and man-to-man that, like, they're playing at the top of their game. And it's a very, very good team that we lost to, and we'll have to regroup and reassess and reflect on our season and our series and go from there. And you know what it is? What's he said? They're shell-shocked.

Starting point is 00:00:59 Yeah. Yeah. They lost one game in each of the first two. They had an unbelievable president's trophy, one of their best seasons in franchise history, and they've had some great teams. They're eight and one coming to this. They're completely, they,

Starting point is 00:01:10 what the fuck? What happened? How did this happen? What did, what just happened here? And I think it was Logan O'Connor. It just happened so fast. Mm-hmm. People were referencing the eight days in jet fuel.

Starting point is 00:01:24 Yeah. Was this eight days, and there was only one trip. It was, I guess maybe not a lot of jet fuel because Colorado was at home. They made one trip to Vegas. Now clean out your locker. Are you at a point where, so okay, so if you're, if you're Colorado and the emotions are high or the emotions are down or there,

Starting point is 00:01:46 there's lots of emotions, let's just say. It's a situation where why don't we go away for a few weeks and look back and go, yeah, we lost to a really good team. We're still a very good team or do we look at the squad and go, Well, a change needs, something needs to happen because they didn't win the cup. Like they won the presidents. Like, I'm trying to recall. I could be wrong, but didn't the Rangers win the presidents?

Starting point is 00:02:15 Lost these Cremmer's final. Lost in the semifinals to the Panthers. Yeah. And started to dismantle. Or at least. It was around the next season. Things unraveled. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:25 Right? And is that a word of caution for a team? was that just a unique situation or is this something that Colorado has to go through? I just, it's the easiest thing to do and it's, I don't think he's done a bad job, but you've had 10 years with this coach. He's setting into the last year of his deal, which is the type of offseason that a guy with 10 years of 10 years, he's going to say, hey, can we get working on an extension like Darrell Sutter and Chris

Starting point is 00:02:52 Knoblock and all these other guys do when they're a year away? I don't think that you're ready to commit to another contract with this guy. And if that's the case, do you cut bait now? Because something needs to change. And I think it's part of the Nate dynamic. Like you see him and Nate barking on the bench. Like is that is that a coach that has the full respect and attention of a player? Is it two guys that are comfortable with that?

Starting point is 00:03:14 Is that a good situation? I don't know. But when it's 10 years and it's this ugly and sometimes you need to have a sacrificial lamb, so to speak, I won't be surprised if it happens at all. I wouldn't be surprised even if they changed the coach. Just 10 years. Yeah. It might be based strictly on that because if you just look back and go,

Starting point is 00:03:32 well, they won the presidents and they lost in the semi-final. Should a guy get his ass handed to or walking papers because of that? Probably not. But he's been there for 10 years too. Yeah. And the expectation was out-coached anyone? I don't know. It doesn't feel like.

Starting point is 00:03:45 And he's coaching part of it. You know what I mean? I know. Like that's the thing. This group especially, there's so much high-octane, like, just playmakers and skill and speed. I don't watch Colorado and say, man, their structure's good. I do watch them and say, I don't know how your power play can be that bad.

Starting point is 00:04:03 I'll tell you what, the power play. That's coaching. The power play was one thing, and we saw what they looked like without, he's one of the best in the world, but without K.L. McCar, they were a completely different team, like completely different team. You need to be able to absorb, I don't know, take any other team that has a world-class player. Does their level of play and style, does everything drop that dramatically? And maybe it's because it's the playoffs and the pressure is high.

Starting point is 00:04:28 But man, it was all of a sudden, okay, well, now Malinsky's doing, who are we moving? Well, that can be part of the coaching and the structure and the, you know, is he running a bunch of thoroughbreds there? Or is this a tactically strong team or is it a bit of both? Like, I think it's more the look at the collection of players, not their systems are airtight. They're an incredibly good team. But what they lost to was incredible structure. Yeah. Right?

Starting point is 00:04:56 And again, the goal tending, we can mention in every single series ever. If you're going to have 950, you're going to win the series. Like the only time I think that didn't happen was like Osageo with Dallas. Like, I know you've been saying that for days now. But if you watch the saves that Carter Hart's making, a lot of it's kind of routine stuff. No, but that's what he's because of the structure. So it's not like, it's both. It's not like he's, Dolbush is on the other side.

Starting point is 00:05:19 Like he's kind of standing on his head making unbelievable saves. Carter Hart just kind of needs to make the saves, control the rebounds, make sure there's not two, three opportunities after every shot. Not to take away what he's been doing, but I think in a way it's to just say, well, they're getting 950 goaltending. No, and that's why I really just said they lost a structure. It helps when your goalie's hot and you have that structure.

Starting point is 00:05:42 But nobody clogs the net front as well as Vegas is done. And they've shown us that over the last two series. And if you want to make a change. If you are ownership and that and you look at what are we going to do? It's going to be tough to do anything on the ice because a lot of guys will sign long term or at least for another season. The only UFAs they have burns on the back end and Kulak, who you might want to keep. And then up front, everybody is basically signed except for Kiviranta. So you're trying to.

Starting point is 00:06:08 And they're going to try to get. Very. San Jose did it for years. We're damn good. We might win a presidents. We're going to be the top of the league. We're going to have home ice in the football. playoffs.

Starting point is 00:06:19 It's our year. It's our year. Now, let's roll. I don't know what's right. Like, even if you, the ownership, even if you make a coaching change, okay, great, that's going to be some sort of spark, but a spark for what? They won the presidents and went to the semifinal. And is there a coach out there that Nate won't ignite with?

Starting point is 00:06:38 It might be worse for them. It gets tough. That's what we don't know. He may not exist. That's where the, you know, if there's. But maybe it's been pissed for management from the start for 10 years. Maybe if a, I like that, Mary. I know, good, too.

Starting point is 00:06:52 But maybe a veteran coach when Nate started out would have been like, uh, no. Yeah. And over 10 years, you've leaned on him a certain way and that's just the, I don't know. We don't, we don't know the dynamic, but it is a curious one because we know how hot Nate runs. And you don't see the back and forth that he has with his coach amongst many superstars and their coaches. And it's been 10 years. And maybe it's just time for new voice, new vision. The torts too clip there, Jack.

Starting point is 00:07:21 Not that he was asked about it, but John Tortorella at the end of his post game had some thoughts about what the Denver media should be doing. Get off Pizzi's ass. Yeah. Get off Pizzi's. You could tell he's like, they're going to crush this guy.

Starting point is 00:07:43 Yeah, they're going to go after him. Absolutely. He played his team. Destroy this guy and he maybe doesn't deserve it. He's knocked off a president's trophy, get team before a sweep, you know? Clearly I'm not. a NHL head coach or even a

Starting point is 00:07:56 quadrant city head coach I'm not allowed sorry city after a decade with a team does do coaches want change right because it can happen even with players where it's like no I never want to change and then you get trading it's like oh this was this was good for me breath fresh air this is great right

Starting point is 00:08:15 like I wonder is Bednar going you know what I'll go to Edmonton I think in hindsight the answer would be yes but right now it's like why would you want to uproot and you got two superstars in the prom and all that. But I think what you're saying is correct, down the road, you know, just for any of us in any occupation, to work for different people, for different organizations with different colleagues. Ted, weird health in. It's a long time. Like he's the second most tenured coach, I believe, behind just Cooper. Yeah, I think who else in France,

Starting point is 00:08:44 or Brendan Moore would be up there too. Like, it's, he's probably triple or quadrupled the average coaching life expect.
