What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, Overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you more ways to play your game your way. Fred's percentages in half an hour. Best bets coming up later in the hour. Obviously a lot of activity in the NHL right now, so we're keeping a track of that. Kevin Kilbane coming up from Vancouver, Canada, losing 2-1 to Switzerland today. So they finish second in their group. They will head to L.A., play on Sunday. Jesse Marsh speaking with the media recently, and I'm just seeing Matthew Shinetti's tweet. Marsh admits to using Alphonso Davies as a decoy. Says now Davies was never going to play. Marsh says Davies will be ready for the round of 32. How are you supposed to believe that?
I love the guy. He seems like a great coach. When a guy's sitting on the bench, he's sitting on the bench.
What happened in Canada's match against Switzerland?
Right. When a guy hasn't played in that long, what do you think teams are going to implement special game planning against a guy that hasn't played in that long? I don't know.
And that's the thing. He went on to say that the decoy worked because Switzerland spoke about Davies during their media availability. you lost. It did not work. You lost the match and you were not really prepared to play to start the game today. Certainly not to start the second half. 15-20 minutes into the second half, that was your whole group stage, effectively. I just don't I don't know why he's admitting to this now that it's a decoy. Coaches do that. We understand that. It happens all the time. We just went through it with Sid at the Olympics. Crosby wasn't playing. He came home and got to Pittsburgh. He was like, yeah, I'm done for like six weeks. He wasn't going to play. But they were saying, hey, he might play.
He's going to give it a shot. I understand that.
How did Alphonso Davies' injury affect the team's performance?
But once... You've shown your cards that you were just being misleading. Why would anyone believe he's going to play in four days?
Why would you admit it now unless you believe he is playing 100%? That's the only thing.
That's the question, Noodles. Do you think he really believes Alfonso will be ready to play on Sunday?
What tactical changes did Jesse Marsh implement during the game?
He's not ready to play today. I don't know. Unless this was always the plan. Like you're just not playing the group stage. We're going to completely, you know.
I kind of believe him, Hayes, if he said he's going to play Sunday. Why else would you blurt that out? Because if he doesn't play, they're going to say, well, why the hell do you even bother saying that? Right.
I'll believe it when I see it, though. I mean, he's obviously prone to it. And now, you know, you're playing head games and gamesmanship with the next team. If you're playing it with Switzerland, of course, what are you going to say? Hey, he wasn't playing it. He ain't playing it on Sunday.
What are the implications of Canada's advancement to the Round of 32?
He's not going to say that. Watching him on the sideline, just like athlete body language – Guys that are close to playing are kind of like chomping at the bit. And I know every sport's different and has a different dynamic. He honestly looks like a garden gnome sitting on the sideline, like expressionless, just sitting there. It's a completely different vibe. He certainly doesn't look like a guy that would be going into play Sunday.
Never warmed up. Some guys warm up and then get told to sit down when the lead changes or something like that. He was never ready to go in. He obviously wasn't going to go in. But I'm with you all. I'm just not convinced at all that Davies is that close, that he's been given the green light. There's a very good chance Bayern Munich hasn't allowed him to play. That happens. His club team may just say, absolutely not. You haven't been cleared. And if that's the case, this was always the dream. You get into the knockout stage. If he's not going to play...
What are the key players to watch in the knockout stage?
You wasted a roster spot in the end. I don't know who they would have replaced him with, but Bombido didn't come in today. Eustachio didn't start. Kone's done for the tournament. They're down a lot of talent, like a lot of talent. My fear is that's going to be the story. I'm pulling for them. I hope they can win on Sunday. They'll readjust.
