1:12

on game nights, correct? Yes How'd

1:14

the land situation turn out you were battling for

1:16

a lot in it? What a cookie

1:19

cutter neighborhood the suburbs The

1:22

burbs yeah trying to get into the burbs. I'm telling you we've

1:24

been trying to get in this neighborhood for years I didn't want

1:26

to talk too much about it. I didn't want to jinx anything

1:29

And we that's where I lost the bid when we were at ice con.

1:31

I lost a bit on the house I lost every

1:33

bet too that week, but I lost a bit on

1:35

the house But uh now then

1:37

a lot of land came up and we got in

1:40

on it and uh, the wife couldn't be happier So

1:42

that makes me so you guys secured it you you're

1:44

good It pretty much secured

1:46

deal like it's signed I've still got to

1:48

do the insurance and all that then what

1:50

is it title insurance, you know, it's never

1:53

over till it's over With you you especially

1:55

so let's just yeah, it looks

1:57

good as of right now Hey Buddy,

2:00

I don't know is by the way talking

2:02

about how like his little five thousand square

2:04

foot house Five

2:09

I said 4400

2:11

that's not that fucking crazy. Oh

2:13

buddy, you're talking to people like you think

2:16

people most people out there have 4400

2:19

square foot. Oh, we're talking about a

2:21

little condo. Oh if you're living

2:23

downtown, Toronto It's a lot But if

2:26

you're living in fucking Strathroy, Ontario, what

2:28

I think if you're living anywhere in

2:30

the North American hemisphere It's a lot

2:32

bit now. I'm looking at 2,000 square

2:35

feet and if there's any builders out there listening

2:37

Yeah, I'll give you a free ad on game

2:39

notes. Here's where you dumb. This is what you

2:41

dummies don't understand I'm living in Arizona. There's no

2:44

basements So if you have 2200 square feet, you

2:46

probably got to a 2200 in the basement, right?

2:49

I don't even believe are included when you're looking

2:52

at homes around here in the square footage of

2:54

the house Correct. They

2:56

don't include the basement square footage. We

2:59

don't have basements there So we have a

3:01

bungalow in Arizona because most of the time

3:03

they don't dig out the basement It's

3:06

a beautiful house. It came according to the US

3:08

Census on 20 22 the average square foot Home

3:12

in America. What's up with the rope people are

3:14

coming on your little a v-neck rope get up

3:16

last episode He's already cutting G off. Can you

3:19

not hear G? What the fuck's up with

3:21

your Wi-Fi? Alright, I can't hear G

3:24

I could hear G. He was giving us

3:26

the consensus consensus the square foot. Oh, what

3:28

is it? What is it? So it's the

3:30

average single-family home in 2022 was

3:32

measured at 2200

3:35

square feet double the size Food

3:40

basement How

3:43

many days you think everyone has basement

3:45

I think majority of people in North

3:48

America have basements You think the majority

3:50

of people in North America have finished

3:52

basements that they're down there Spending

3:54

time in enjoying watching TV or putting

3:56

around in my yeah, I think that

3:59

most people have ping pong machines and putting

4:01

greens in their basement. Yeah, I do. And

4:06

it turns into a water park once in a while as

4:08

well. Not anymore, baby. Not anymore.

4:10

Okay, all right, all right. Jeff Beattie,

4:12

the best man of all time has

4:14

helped my family out immensely. Well, speaking

4:16

of square footage, I mean, we're soon

4:18

gonna get to the amount of space

4:20

that Leafs fans and Leafs players have

4:23

rent free in Boston Bruins fans

4:25

brains right now. Woo! We're

4:28

going to six at home, baby. Ha ha

4:30

ha. You don't think I'm part

4:32

of the chain game again, baby? Jesus Christ. Let's

4:34

go to the Major Marner's Buzzion. We got the

4:36

Marner magic again. Yee hee hee hee

4:38

hee hee hee. Fucking you half the

4:40

road there. Holy shit. Let's go to the Whit Dog

4:42

on that note. Ryan Whitney, Whit Shaken, brother. How'd you

4:45

enjoy the game last night? Not too much I would

4:47

imagine. I don't care

4:49

if the Bruins lose. I picked the Leafs. I

4:51

want the Leafs. I picked them. I need

4:53

my picks to be better. I need my

4:55

picks to be on point. Last year eight

4:57

for eight, that is not happening this year.

4:59

But before we continue, before we go further,

5:01

I need to talk about Pink Whitney. Take

5:04

your shot with Pink Whitney. This show is

5:06

presented by New Amsterdam's own, Pink Whitney, the

5:08

number one flavored vodka in North America. It's

5:10

the right time of year to start drinking

5:12

Pink Whitney again. I played golf the other

5:14

day. We did nips. We did the nips.

5:16

We did the mixies after everyone had one.

5:18

And then when I got home, I had one

5:20

for the nightcap. So the Oilers play tonight. I'll

5:23

probably pour myself some Pink Whitney. I am in

5:25

the midst of a possible birth coming any night.

5:27

I know I keep mentioning that. So the Pink

5:29

Whitney has to be kept to a minimum for

5:31

me, but not for anyone else out there. So

5:33

take your shot, go to a local bar, go

5:35

to a local liquor store, grab the big old

5:37

1.75 liter bottle. That'll

5:39

last you a little longer. But Pink Whitney, take

5:41

your shot with Pink Whitney and thank you to

5:43

New Amsterdam and all you guys. So

5:46

that's a live ad read, crush the board. What

5:48

a read by Whitty Boy. That's

5:50

off the top of my head too, which sometimes

5:52

can be very ugly. And I

5:54

don't necessarily think until we started doing

5:56

these that live was my bag, but

5:58

it's my bag. your bags so

6:01

biz you

6:03

guys are alive and

6:05

already I know you want the least what why

6:10

I'm not a Bruins fan how many times like

6:12

say this I could be less well the very

6:14

first episode we did like before the team chickles

6:17

before biz you actually said you were a Bruins

6:19

fan you had you caught to be in a

6:21

Bruins fan the very first episode we know no

6:23

no I would love to hear the actual audio

6:25

what I said is when the Bruins are in

6:28

the like the Stanley Cup finals yeah I'm gonna

6:30

root for the Bruins unless they're playing the Oilers

6:32

right now the Bruins playing the Leafs when

6:34

I picked the Leafs that was also before

6:36

we'd ever made picks in this show correct

6:38

so if we're doing playoff picks I would

6:40

say that that probably differentiates I don't care

6:42

I do not care people think that I'm

6:44

like out there for the Bruins like you

6:47

and Grinnelly with your underwear on and your

6:49

special posters in your room and your cam

6:51

nearly little like bobblehead dolls I don't care

6:53

I want to see a good series and

6:55

now we got a series on our hand

6:57

there are Bruins fans out there saying like

6:59

I'm not worried although now I sent the

7:01

tweet out where I said anyone who's saying

7:03

that's lying and most Bruins fans like no we

7:05

are but the ones who aren't they are

7:08

lying because the Bruins have this disgusting

7:11

sort of vibe around them in

7:13

these games where they can close

7:15

opponents out I don't know what's

7:17

going on I'm worried I can easily

7:20

say that I'm very worried it's going seven

7:22

well let's just say that can we can

7:24

we discuss the lineup changes that were made this

7:26

past game because mind-blowing

7:28

to me to be up 3-1 in the

7:31

series Morrell is your best buddy yeah

7:33

I don't understand why they would make these lineup

7:38

changes Shatt and Kirk's look good on the power

7:40

play features been great in the face-off dot it

7:42

doesn't make sense to me are they

7:44

all guys in it Murr yeah hey

7:47

you guys last year though when I said

7:49

keep Berger on out keep the winning lineup

7:51

you guys want to tear my head oh

7:53

no no no feature to burn

7:56

time the winning lineup or not what are

7:58

you out of your Yeah. You want the

8:00

goalie rotation or do you not? Go on the

8:03

goalie rotation. Listen, listen,

8:05

you're out of your fucking mind. There's a

8:07

difference between Patrice Bergeron and the other two

8:09

guys. Now keep in mind, the fourth line

8:11

has been going great. To me, the bottom

8:14

two lines for the Boston Bruins have made

8:16

a difference in an impact in the series.

8:18

Now, going back to the game before, yeah,

8:21

Beecher was on the ice when they scored

8:23

a goal. But overall, I thought the line

8:25

had been tremendous, and they continue to overthink

8:27

it. And one thing I felt that Shatt

8:29

and Kirk had provided to the power play.

8:31

And all of a sudden, they're fucking shooting

8:33

blanks in game five. You can't

8:35

change that line up. Oh, they had one power play, I

8:37

mean. Hey, doesn't matter. You got

8:39

to execute. It looks terrible. It looks horrible.

8:42

It's not the Oilers. How about creating a

8:44

little bit of momentum that they didn't have?

8:46

Brutal stat. Brutal stat. They came

8:49

out awful. You'd think that

8:51

they would have learned from last year. And

8:53

you want to know the craziest thing? As

8:55

that game proceeded, hey, Brad Marsha had a

8:57

chance to close that thing out. That

9:00

empty net he had where it just hit off the

9:02

stick and it crawled over the crossbar, I would have

9:04

put that in. I could have put that in the

9:07

net. It looked like it sort of bounced at the

9:09

end. But dude, I can't believe of anything

9:11

this you haven't mentioned, and it's not even

9:14

on you. We've just gotten to be talking,

9:16

but Joseph Wall. Whoo!

9:19

Buddy, this is Bobrovsky coming

9:21

in last year. It's the

9:23

exact same thing. Changing

9:25

up the goaltending. And I

9:28

got to give the Maple Leafs a lot of

9:30

credit, because dude, they came out, they

9:32

played a great playoff style game. And that

9:35

game was horrendous in the first period. The

9:37

Bruins were awful. It was like an exhibition

9:39

game. Both teams were turning it over. But

9:41

at least the Leafs, like digging deep without

9:43

their best player, one of the best players

9:46

on the planet, they just showed a

9:48

lot of heart. They showed a lot of balls. And

9:50

for all the chirping that I've done, and a lot

9:52

of people have done, Mitch Marner played a good game.

9:55

He played a really good game. He

9:58

was a different player than the first. games

10:00

of that series you gotta shut when you're gonna

10:02

carve someone you gotta also shout out that that

10:04

he made a difference us like That whole line

10:06

was awesome. Max Doming I thought was great As

10:10

he made Max Doming gets put to center

10:12

ice. Do you know what his face off

10:14

percentage was last night? 85

10:17

fucking percent Snapping back

10:19

draws on every center of

10:21

the Boston Bruins 85 percent.

10:23

That's better than Trojek was that's better I

10:25

don't think a center man has had a

10:27

better face-off game and then what comes up

10:30

huge in the first period He snaps back

10:32

that draw Marner comes in and help out

10:34

and McCabe with a bomb from the point

10:36

to get things going That

10:38

I think in game six They need to

10:40

keep that line together whether Matthews is in

10:43

or not if Matthews is in keep

10:45

that line together Put in the

10:47

lander with Matthews an incredible game That was

10:49

a legacy game by max Doming and I

10:51

think that if he's like a see game

10:54

buddy He fucking got put

10:56

it no matter legacy means for

10:58

him He for him

11:02

Going back to Toronto. I think a Legacy

11:06

game G with the lack of success they've

11:08

had if they win the series Okay, if

11:10

they win the series, okay, if you

11:12

lose a series, you can't call it a

11:14

legacy game. That's fair I'm

11:18

giving you legacy game. I'm going back to Joseph

11:20

wall. I know he's only played in six appearances

11:23

and playoffs 1.94

11:26

goals against average with a 930

11:29

save percentage this guy's legit. Remember I

11:31

talked about him when I talked to that Joe

11:34

Bowen. I reached out I said hey, what's

11:36

the deal with this guy? He goes biz.

11:38

He's got the makeup to be a future

11:40

of as no winner His mechanics are incredible.

11:42

He's big. He's got the athleticism and he's

11:44

got the fucking mental edge This

11:46

guy is an absolute gamer I know there's

11:48

a lot of Leafs fans complaining right now

11:50

that they didn't throw him in in game

11:52

four Listen, I thought that Sammy deserved to

11:54

have the net up until that point in

11:56

the series. I hated that Trent

11:58

Frederick goal That was the one

12:00

where I was like, okay, I think that we

12:03

could maybe try wall in that, but all things

12:05

have played out the way they've played. He ends

12:07

up getting the game five start and he was

12:09

fucking incredible when he had to be. He outplayed

12:12

Swamin. He made that one extra save that Swamin

12:14

couldn't. Look at this guy. He's

12:16

a fucking ninja. There's

12:18

Trent Frederick too. He can't fucking score

12:20

on wall. He's living rent

12:22

free. The one on coil

12:24

and OT was unreal too, just kicking the

12:27

leg out. Coil,

12:30

McAvoy were

12:32

both awesome. I thought all game,

12:35

but they're kind of standing there as that

12:37

puck gets thrown to the crease by Tavares

12:40

and as Merlz texted the group, like, got

12:42

to throw a shoulder check. Merlz, I actually

12:44

watched the replay. As Tavares gets

12:46

the bomb in the circle, Coil does do a

12:49

shoulder check. And then I don't know if he

12:51

didn't see knives or, but then all

12:53

of a sudden, boom, they both are puck

12:55

watching. And I really felt bad for Griszlek.

12:57

Bruins fans are all over Griszlek. They don't

12:59

really want him playing in the playoffs. He

13:02

had a good game, dude. Grinale, you said he

13:04

was bad. I saw your, he had a really

13:06

good game. That's why he felt bad. He had

13:09

three turnovers in his first three shifts. Dude, he

13:11

had a good game. Go watch the game, buddy.

13:13

Go watch the game. Until

13:16

that final play that Tavares beat him wide, which

13:18

was surprising. Shout out to Tavares getting that foot

13:20

speed going. He had a good game and he

13:22

ends up kind of looking like, you know,

13:25

I guess, not great on

13:27

that OT winner, but all three of those guys

13:29

are just standing around. Knives comes

13:31

back door and puts it in.

13:33

It was shocking the first

13:35

period though. RA, your video said it. I

13:38

just don't know how you're that unprepared to play

13:40

after learning from last year in the first period

13:42

of that game. What they have, they're two shots,

13:45

I think, was the lowest total of all year

13:47

in a period. Two shots. I just,

13:49

I couldn't believe it. Just like they were dead. You know,

13:51

full credit to Toronto. They played great and Joseph Wall was

13:53

unbelievable. We talked about him possibly coming in last week, but

13:56

they just didn't have the desperation and Marthy

13:58

looked like Crestfall and Afton. Press the sale,

14:00

you know, we weren't very good. He just didn't

14:02

have any like oh, we weren't good enough Just

14:04

we're not good enough ready to play. It's like

14:06

well, why weren't why weren't they? We're

14:13

good enough I don't have You

14:16

know Something to give

14:18

you that's concrete We're at all

14:20

start besides Toronto is better than us

14:23

Yeah, I mean I would like a

14:25

little bit a little like for my coach Can I bring

14:27

up? Bruins

14:29

fans R-h-g in

14:33

2013 they were up 3-1. Yeah,

14:35

I fucked that up. Yeah, I got

14:37

to confuse it to Philly when the Bruins fans

14:39

are all fucked up with Yeah, they're all now

14:42

biz in fairness Like

14:45

any other team right now, I'm almost sure

14:47

the Bruins might blow this you

14:49

guys You guys will probably

14:52

win game six and somehow blow it

14:54

might be an exact replica

14:56

of what's happened prior in other

14:58

years because let's let's not think

15:00

that you're you're the Panthers of

15:02

last year or all these Incredible

15:04

teams you're still the Leafs. I

15:06

know I Know okay. Okay.

15:09

I know what do you hear about Matthews

15:11

biz because they're saying this might not be

15:13

an illness It might be like an actual

15:15

injury. I think Elliott said that so the

15:17

soap opera continues The

15:19

core four have been yet to play a

15:21

full 60 minutes together in this series Which

15:24

is mind-boggling and the fact that we're going

15:26

to six and we've had a goaltending change

15:28

pretty pretty crazy so My

15:31

understanding was is it was like a stomach

15:33

bug or our virus something that was except

15:35

48 hours lasting and then they pulled them

15:37

out Of game four because he just had

15:39

no energy through the second period, right? So

15:42

then he obviously isn't playing

15:44

game five and then Elliott Freeman has

15:46

that follow-up tweet saying that it might

15:48

be more than just illness So

15:51

what do we have here a mystery injury

15:53

just like we had with William Nylander? Like

15:57

I feel I don't want to say the The

16:00

Leafs have mismanaged this through the media and how

16:02

they've communicated to the fans as to what the

16:04

fuck is going on But this

16:06

continues to just be a mystery bag with

16:09

what's going on with the lineup given their

16:11

stars the entire series They've had drama with

16:13

basically every guy Tavares didn't show up game

16:15

one. He's been incredible since Matthews

16:18

obviously now missing game five with the

16:20

illness in game four leaving Marner was

16:22

in fucking no man's land the first

16:24

two three games and And

16:27

Nylander was Nylander. So I don't know what

16:30

the fuck is going on But in game

16:32

six the core four that has to be

16:34

their best game at Toronto Maple Leafs if

16:36

Matthews plays It has to

16:39

be the best performance we've ever seen

16:41

in Leastland Getting a lot

16:43

of yacht club activated if in fact all

16:45

four of these guys play no more excuses

16:47

No more nothing because all the other guys

16:49

who ain't making the big bucks have brought

16:51

it Nyes has been incredible

16:54

He's been helping drive that other line Okay,

16:57

Domi has been incredible and every

17:00

other role player has elevated their game

17:02

in this instance So if game six

17:04

comes around here and the core four

17:06

isn't activated There's gonna be

17:08

major major changes coming Murr. Why are

17:10

you laughing the diet the core four?

17:13

I love it the core four I really

17:15

call him the sore for yeah, that's hilarious.

17:17

I also I'm reading the chat. It's hilarious

17:19

What are they but I they're called all

17:21

sorts of stuff But like Elliott was right

17:23

if it if he was sick, then you

17:25

don't let him skate around the team same

17:27

with with Nylander where I

17:30

don't I don't want to speculate But I know

17:32

when I played ice hockey and guys would go

17:34

out and skate really hard for a certain amount

17:36

of time And then they didn't play that day

17:39

a certain symptom came an

17:41

hour or two after they raised their

17:43

heart rate If you're picking up what

17:45

I'm putting down So I don't know

17:47

if there's any big hits we missed but it's

17:49

definitely not some sort of flu or something because

17:51

he wouldn't be in The locker room. I thought

17:54

Matt. Yeah, exactly. It's not sickness anymore And I

17:56

think he skated was it 10 minutes before they

17:58

won on the ice for pregame skates I don't

18:00

know how hard he went but yeah you

18:02

I wonder what that injury is now RA. I'll

18:04

ask you People are hard

18:06

on Marner people have been hard on stars.

18:09

Don't get it done in the playoffs What's

18:11

up with pasta right now? Man,

18:14

yeah, he's not getting it done. I don't know. I don't

18:16

think he's hurt I don't know if he's just getting shut

18:18

down. He's got a battle throw up But yeah, it's been

18:20

a disappointment right now. My son's been obviously Stella. He wasn't

18:22

great last night But yeah, I don't think

18:25

he's hurt. I don't I haven't heard he's hurt.

18:27

I think I would argue RA I think he

18:29

looks hurt to me He was handling the puck

18:31

a little bit where maybe then you wonder if

18:33

it's something with hands wrist We're

18:35

totally speculating, but he doesn't look like himself

18:38

that's getting knocked off the puck pretty easy,

18:40

too It seems like something's just every time

18:42

he someone initiates contact with him his

18:44

body kind of just gives up a bit It's

18:47

not Marner down on this Upstairs

18:50

this head biz, which a confidence level going into the

18:52

next game What do you think

18:54

he's gonna say? No, no listen, it's

18:57

gonna be Boston's best performance They're gonna come

18:59

out guns a blazing in the first period.

19:01

They're on the road. No pressure It

19:03

has to be the best start that

19:05

start the Maple Leafs have had all

19:07

series long all season long The

19:10

other element they gotta

19:12

get the power play going They have

19:14

to relieve pressure from themselves five on

19:17

five The power play has

19:19

been rubbish this series and that's

19:21

why I say the core four is so

19:23

important They need to fucking figure it out

19:25

They need to stop it around and if

19:27

they don't score on it they need to

19:30

create a shit ton of momentum and hem

19:32

the Bruins in and make swimming and Or

19:35

all mark whoever they fumbled a bag on

19:37

whatever they decide to put net. They

19:40

got to make them work Invest early

19:42

play with the puck down low

19:45

and I'm telling you though I actually

19:47

think the Leafs are gonna put together an

19:49

unbelievable 60 minutes I think

19:51

they're for the first time in a long

19:54

time gonna score at least four fucking goals

19:56

in a playoff game They've only scored three

19:58

goals one time their last 12

20:01

playoff games for the offense that

20:03

the Leafs put out on a constant basis

20:05

during the regular season that's laying an egg

20:07

come playoff time they got to

20:10

find the back of the net my prediction is they're

20:12

gonna get two power play goals and

20:14

they're gonna win this game five to two you're

20:16

going with the five again I'm going with the

20:19

five again I'm doubling down I don't give a

20:21

fuck wait

20:23

what do the bros gonna do different next

20:25

game obviously get some shots on net but

20:27

with it often they're gonna be choking on

20:29

the same piece of steak they were in

20:32

game five they gotta start better

20:34

they have to start way better they

20:36

have to get in there and at

20:38

least get some opportunities in the first

20:41

period because it's one thing on the road

20:43

to be able to like build your game after having a

20:45

good first as the Leafs did if they're

20:47

at home and they dominate in the first again then

20:49

you're really in one although I guess

20:51

they really don't have a home ice advantage

20:53

I think we can all say it like

20:56

they don't the crowd's not loud

20:58

they don't seem to play very well one of

21:00

the starts important they got to get the yacht

21:03

I think even if it's I don't even think

21:05

most of the people at the beginning of the

21:07

period will be in their seats behind the benches

21:09

on that lower ball I think to start the

21:11

second period or the third the other night like

21:13

it was there was empty seats everywhere the

21:16

Bruins the Bruins they're not

21:18

like a super skilled team I think we

21:20

can all agree with that they have

21:23

a bunch of very very good players they

21:25

have pasta and Marchand can be really elite

21:27

Macaboy in the back end but they're workers

21:29

they're grinders the guys like Frederick Coyle that

21:31

need to play in the office of zone

21:33

they need to cycle the puck and they

21:35

they actually had they turned on their game

21:37

last night I mean the beginning of overtime

21:39

they had three four chances real quick so

21:42

you know that the games there they've had

21:44

a lot of success in Toronto already in

21:46

this series and all season so the confidence

21:48

should be there for them you'd like to

21:50

think with that leadership core group that they're

21:52

gonna be able to be pissed off enough

21:54

at each other and you know

21:56

they're them as a group to be like that

21:58

was bullshit at home We're ending this

22:00

tonight. We're not dealing with going back home

22:03

for a game seven where anything can happen

22:05

So I can't wait to watch Thursday. It

22:07

should be a great one. I'm hoping Bobby

22:09

Mc Matthews is back to The

22:12

jit injury dude, I know I'm

22:14

hoping he's back for game six though I heard

22:16

rumblings that he might be coming back and I

22:18

thought he was one of their more More impactful

22:20

forwards in the back half of the season So

22:22

if they can get him back into with Matthews

22:25

look out boys I think they're gonna steamroll the

22:27

Bruins and then we're going back to the GAD

22:29

and for game seven rear admiral Hey

22:32

another little thing here to Carlo

22:35

Cole Akavo tweeted out You know

22:37

that guy like the Oz guy

22:39

who predicts all the mentalist. Yeah

22:41

the mentalist Yeah, he

22:44

predicted that the Leafs were gonna win

22:46

this series in seven games in come

22:48

back fashion He predicted the

22:50

first 13 picks in the

22:52

NFL draft this year with trades, too Which

22:54

is crazy with trades he predicted he predicted

22:56

that before the series or he just said

22:58

it last night Oh, yeah, I guess you

23:01

know I he went on he went on

23:03

radio I think he went on with Carlo

23:05

Cole Akavo or it was with somebody else

23:07

and then they eventually got him on You

23:10

could maybe pull up the tweet that Carlo

23:12

Cole Akavo sent out yesterday He said you

23:14

don't you don't want you don't want Oz

23:16

the mentalist Oz going against you. That's that's

23:18

not That's kind of like

23:21

remember the monkey a few years ago who used

23:23

to do the playoff picks He was

23:25

red hot not as hot as the

23:27

Oz the mentalist and vegan

23:29

speaking of being red hot Did you guys

23:31

hear Jack Edwards last night calling Steve? Oh,

23:33

are you a coward? It's

23:37

unbelievable and I

23:39

kind of got off my soapbox of

23:41

hating Jack Edwards But yeah, this guy

23:43

kuzaru is in the hospital knocked out

23:45

cold on a stretcher And

23:47

Jack Edwards up in his ivory tower what

23:49

could have been his last games calling a

23:51

ref a coward It's like this guy

23:54

just just doing you think I Jack

23:56

quick. Good job. You're right back to

23:58

this fucking idiot So you

24:01

know what if you're gonna sit there and

24:03

announce a game and never be involved physically

24:05

in anything in your life I find it

24:07

kind of crazy You're calling a referee a

24:09

coward for getting off the ice and I

24:11

don't think that that was like a poorly

24:13

refereed game The hot ruins of

24:15

ruins whining ruins fans complain about when the

24:17

marsh up marsh on got called on that

24:19

play May be there but other

24:22

than that it wasn't like oh my god The Bruins

24:24

got fucked by the refs last night And

24:26

we got check it was calling a guy who's

24:28

just knocked out in the hospital and Bruins fans

24:30

were calling Leafs fans babies Because they wanted a

24:32

penalty on Marsha when he tripped

24:35

Bertuzzi right before Trent Frederick scored that

24:37

weak one So I don't want

24:39

to hear about the fishing it bitching and officiating

24:41

And I think it's the perfect fit at the

24:43

fact that the Leafs are gonna beat The

24:46

Boston Bruins in game seven at the God

24:48

and Jack Edwards last game I

24:50

cannot wait to hear the end of the

24:52

game call from Jack Edwards That

24:55

is gonna be the hockey gods and

24:57

hockey karma biting the bees right in the

24:59

hoop. I can see this. Oh, yeah

25:02

Mentalist thinks it is no it isn't Gee

25:06

you didn't like that. No calling that you had

25:08

a little that tweet action and saw the mash

25:10

on there We were just talking about the referee

25:12

the referees knocking them off Yeah,

25:15

I mean I I think exactly what which said though I

25:18

think that that was a terrible non-call I mean, he was

25:20

holding them at the face off top, but I don't think

25:22

the rest the bees got screwed by any means Okay.

25:25

All right at all. Yeah with the rest that

25:27

game. Yeah, they didn't lose cuz the referees They

25:29

fucking lost cuz they couldn't score who's

25:31

playing who's playing game six boys It's

25:34

women swimming's goal It's you you give it's

25:36

swimming goal for the rest of the playoffs

25:38

unless he unless he has a big stinker

25:40

Let's in like six seven goals. I'm riding

25:42

my guy sway for the rest of the

25:44

playoffs Great last night biz.

25:47

Yeah, he was awesome. Yeah, so all mark

25:49

was fine in game two. He

25:51

was fine, but he wasn't great but

25:53

yeah, but Swamin has the

25:55

body of work this entire series. I don't even

25:57

think it's a question. Okay, so if you He

26:00

puts Allmark in net. He's overthinking this again,

26:02

and you're nervous going into game six? If

26:05

that would happen, I don't know about nervous, but yeah, I

26:07

would say he's overthinking it by putting out Allmark. I mean,

26:09

game wouldn't have went to overtime last night if it wasn't

26:11

for Swayman. Guy played his balls off 100%. All

26:14

right. What do you think, Murr? You think he's going

26:16

back to Sway? Yeah, I think it's Swayman.

26:19

It's got to be. You cannot flip back

26:21

and forth again. You cannot do it. It

26:24

is amazing, though, with the Stanley

26:26

Cup playoffs, I guess any sport,

26:29

the game to end it, that

26:31

fourth win, and Bruins fans know

26:33

more than it is so hard to get

26:35

that win. You can

26:37

get three relatively easy for the Bruins.

26:39

It was 3-1. Hadn't even

26:41

been that difficult. And all of a

26:44

sudden, you're trying to get that fourth.

26:46

Last year and now after last night,

26:48

you're like, oh my god, we just cannot

26:50

get the biggest one, the fourth one. Do

26:53

you guys think that maybe in their

26:55

heads, they're thinking last year, game five,

26:57

Marcheau has that breakaway to end it.

27:00

And then in this game, I think it was in

27:02

the third, he has that tap in and he missed

27:04

it. You don't think they're thinking about that. You don't

27:06

think it was whole possible. Would you be on the

27:09

flight there talking with

27:12

the guys about it? No, but I'd be a

27:14

mental midget in my own mind about it. Would

27:16

you? Bro, I'm the biggest

27:18

mental midget of a player of all time. I

27:22

never got to play in those games. I think you're

27:24

overplaying that a little. I think if you got ready

27:26

for game six, there's no part of

27:28

your mind thinking, oh my god, against the Panthers 365 days

27:30

ago, the same thing happened. It's

27:33

just like these guys, they're

27:35

not. After the series ends, they could

27:37

be like, oh my god, that same exact thing

27:40

happened again. But I would think right now, they're

27:42

just focused on next game, next shift. Yeah,

27:45

a lot of similarities. I don't like either business. Marr got

27:47

something. Yeah, I'm

27:50

rooting for game seven because it's going to

27:52

be Saturday night. So we go right from

27:54

Kentucky Derby, right into the Bruins League game

27:56

seven. Oh, what a day. Oh my god.

27:59

That's a long one. A long one, a lot

28:01

of money too, Murrah. I predicted, by the way, that

28:03

in game seven, the Bruins would lose at home in

28:05

the Leafs with speed bag. I mean, you'd be able

28:07

to hear a pin drop in there. I

28:10

said that before the series started, and I'm sticking

28:12

with it. I bet you, I think

28:14

we posted the clip. What do you got for us, G?

28:16

You have a little nugget? We have that tweet, the Oz

28:18

the Mentalist tweet right here from Carlo. You

28:21

want to read it out? Apparently it was sent before

28:23

the season started. No.

28:26

Three in a row. It's just coming back

28:29

three in a row. I

28:33

mean, he didn't hear. He can't

28:35

hear the audio. What he said, the audio? I

28:37

mean, I'll take his word. All you need to

28:40

read, coming back three in a row, suck on

28:42

that, bitch. All right, I got Chris Angel to

28:44

fucking counter him. Fucking

28:46

magicians. All right, boy. Can you

28:48

just change the guy's name? How

28:51

do you know that's even his number? How do you know that's Oz?

28:54

Oh, you're calling fiction, Mur? Yeah. Bullshit

28:56

on Oz. I can put anybody's game

28:58

on there and write that. It was

29:00

actually Dr. Phil who predicted

29:02

it. Oh, Jesus. Fucking quack. All

29:05

right, Winnipeg entered the postseason with high

29:07

expectations. But they will exit them with

29:10

an all too familiar feeling for

29:12

fans in the hockey mad city. They have

29:14

doubled up the Jets in game five, six to three,

29:16

and beat them in five games after losing game one.

29:18

Last year, the Jets beat Vegas 5-1. Then

29:21

they lost the next four straight while being outscored 18 and

29:23

19. You know who the goalie was

29:25

last year? This is their backup this year, La Rompasoix.

29:27

That's also the first team in NHL history to

29:29

allow five plus goals in each of their first

29:31

five games to begin a postseason, which I guess

29:33

you saw us right after all. Yeah, it looks

29:35

like a fraud game. The fraud squad. What

29:38

a prediction. Yeah, I'll get to that in

29:40

a minute. I'd like to start with the

29:42

winners almost because you're looking at, and Murals

29:44

can go into this. It's his team. Probably

29:48

the most well-oiled machine in the

29:50

playoffs currently. Rangers

29:52

Fans would have a little bit of a

29:54

gripe, but the Capitals are not the Jets.

29:56

The Jets had done a lot more to

29:58

prove themselves as What.? Many people consider true

30:01

contenders. They had the goalie, they had

30:03

the depths up front. They had everything

30:05

working at the end of the season

30:07

and then they ran in. To.

30:09

A machine. A. Machine that

30:11

is locked and loaded and flying. and

30:13

every single aspect of the Avalanche roster

30:15

right now is on the top of

30:18

their game. Whether. It's miles

30:20

would. the guy Pasha said stinks

30:22

running around, creating havoc going to

30:24

the net. Whether. It's Nathan

30:26

Mackinnon doing it. Look at the first

30:29

shift of the game. Nathan.

30:31

Mackinnon Ice He had to be skated twenty

30:33

eight miles an hour through the neutral zone

30:35

and then on the back tic, he comes

30:37

back. Any like Barry someone against the boards,

30:39

are they okay? Well, they're They're ready to

30:41

play and when you're leader and your captain

30:43

is playing the way that Mccain it's playing.

30:46

It's hard for the whole team not to

30:48

just follow suit. You're just watching the skies.

30:50

And there's also the decide that Mccain and

30:52

I think has been. Bad. It's

30:54

been pretty made evidence us the he'll

30:56

he'll call guys out so if you're

30:58

not going you're going to hear from

31:01

him and he's always gone so there's

31:03

no excuses to choose. comes back was

31:05

already talked about him my car is

31:07

big guy it ever n n n

31:09

their goaltending your gf who we were

31:11

carving after game one has really settled

31:13

down. He. Looks really good the next

31:15

four games a gentleman sweep you like to

31:17

call it. And the poor Winnipeg

31:19

Jets after a great regular season

31:22

just caught a tough matchup. I.

31:24

Don't think that that. It

31:27

was it was any other team as I think

31:29

they played Dallas better. I think they played bag

31:31

is better. I think they could play any team

31:33

better than Colorado. Right now, Colorado's the top contender

31:35

in the west. I don't love admitting it. But.

31:38

I'm a little afraid of a my whole goal

31:40

is and weather's bad is that the next round

31:42

there in a battle with whoever wins Vegas Dallas.

31:45

But Colorado. All props to

31:47

them. They did everything they needed to do. Now.

31:49

To the Jets. Yes, The.

31:52

Guy texted me I fucking told

31:54

you that was the text. and

31:56

what am i supposed to say back because i

31:59

argued the point original I remember I was

32:01

down in Del Rey. I was talking to him I

32:04

then went on the show recording in that studio

32:06

that they helped me out I remember the name

32:08

I apologize and I said it after arguing with

32:10

him and he he got the final word He

32:12

was correct. They didn't have anything remotely

32:14

close to what it looked like They had

32:16

going into the playoffs and I

32:19

don't really understand what happened a hell of a buck I

32:22

mean some of those goals throughout the entire series

32:24

that you can't put them all on him But

32:26

at some point the goal he's got to just

32:28

steal a game for he's got to make a

32:30

save He's not supposed to make and every

32:33

little thing was going in. It just was

32:35

it was Unfortunate for Jets fans. I don't

32:38

really know where they go from here now

32:40

saying all that I don't think

32:42

anyone expected them to be as good as they were

32:44

this year. Yeah, dude, it sucks You're going out in

32:46

five again second year in a row, but

32:49

they still had a good season I know that

32:51

sounds maybe Jets fans could will tell me I'm

32:53

an idiot Dude, they they Surpass

32:56

their expectations going into the year by a

32:59

lot in my opinion I

33:01

know but yet but it's just like Carolina you

33:03

make two big moves at the deadline to have

33:05

Expectations of at least putting up a fight and

33:08

more I'll throw her over to you I feel

33:10

like that seven nothing win at the end of

33:12

the season and also the seven six win in

33:15

game one Set up some

33:17

false expectations and maybe some false hope

33:19

that they could play this run-and-gun style

33:22

with the Colorado Avalanche Both

33:24

bonus set it this post-game press conference

33:26

after the series is over He's like

33:28

these guys brought it to another level

33:30

that that wasn't the regular season Colorado

33:32

Avalanche they had another gear

33:34

that that Winnipeg Jets had never seen

33:37

before and they got Rocked in game

33:39

two and they got shell shocked

33:41

and they were never able to recover. They

33:43

got fucking worked Doubled up on

33:46

the amount of rush chances against the entire

33:48

series Which we talked about before the series

33:50

that that's how Colorado does it how could

33:52

where was the? What was it 14 games

33:55

in a row? They allowed two

33:57

or fewer goals against her in the regular

33:59

season Where was that Winnipeg Jets

34:01

team? Where was the high cycling, high

34:03

flying offense where they would hem teams

34:05

in? It was non-existent. Then you try

34:07

to play the rush games against one

34:09

of the best rush teams in the

34:12

league, especially in Colorado's barn. Just

34:14

a, I don't even

34:16

wanna say dumb game plan because they

34:18

just completely lost their game after game two

34:21

when they got rocked in that second period.

34:24

Yeah, they only got five goals from their forwards in

34:26

the last four games bizarre. Kyle Connaughts

34:28

are fully at two gusts that are jifley, I mean,

34:30

they got nothing. Four games, five goals from your forwards.

34:33

That's trash, man. You gotta get a lot more. Murr,

34:35

I mean, what do you have to say about

34:37

it? Well, I'm gonna tell you what happened to Hellebuck

34:39

with our good friend Mike Kelly, NHL Network. The

34:42

abs had 10 goals with a screen, the

34:44

most of anybody, and that's only in five games.

34:46

And how do you get away with good screens?

34:48

Because you don't get pushed out of the net

34:50

front. And how do you not get pushed out

34:52

of the net front? Because there's small D out

34:54

there. Piak is six foot,

34:57

Damello six foot, their number one

34:59

D, Morrissey six foot, 190 pounds.

35:03

Wow. It does not get

35:05

the job done in the playoffs. Murr's

35:09

right, Murr's right. Well

35:12

Murr, how big a Colorado's D? How

35:15

big a Colorado's D? Well, they

35:17

got Manson, they got Jack Johnson. Yeah,

35:20

but Dave's the rawer. Dave's is big. We're

35:23

not big, he's pretty big. So

35:26

you got the four right there. I know- The

35:28

unicorn, he doesn't even count any talk about the fence. Unicorn,

35:31

Bill. Hey, when you win, you don't have to talk

35:33

about that. We're talking about why they lost and your

35:35

Fessna goalie got lit up by the best, fastest team

35:37

in the league. I don't know if anybody's gonna be

35:40

able to skate with these guys if they stay healthy.

35:42

Edmonton can skate with them. All right.

35:44

Edmonton can skate with them. But here's

35:46

the problem. No, no, I'm just, I'm being, Edmonton

35:49

can skate with them. But I

35:51

don't know if Colorado's gonna lose a game at home.

35:54

They get flying in that building and

35:56

everyone's dying and they can't catch their

35:58

breath. And then you have- cannon

36:03

You're like what the fuck's going on and

36:05

then yeah, they do they throw out that

36:07

trend and he scored a goal He's enormous

36:09

and then like I said miles would they

36:11

got they they have everything you need they

36:13

have skill They have speed their toughness. They

36:16

have they have height and and girth. I'll

36:18

say girth and They

36:20

have a goalie who just needs to play good enough. So

36:22

right now The most impressive

36:25

first round win for sure. Yeah

36:27

sure and how about a

36:29

how about middle stat? He's he's

36:31

turning into kadri 2.0 right now the way

36:33

that he's playing Maybe he's not as mean

36:36

and his a greasy and rile the other

36:38

team up as much which hey Discipline also

36:40

ain't a bad thing either, but

36:42

he's coming into his own at the perfect time right

36:44

now He had three assists What was it in game

36:46

four and then he had a

36:48

great game five to close out and the

36:50

craziest thing about this two boys They were

36:53

doing it without Rotten and he wasn't playing

36:55

out his capabilities and then all of a

36:57

sudden two goals in game five So now

36:59

he's going they're all a well-oiled machine They're

37:01

getting rest and they're gonna end up playing

37:03

probably a team that went to seven between

37:05

Vegas and Dallas where they're beating the wheels

37:07

Off each other. So great thing for

37:09

Colorado right now. They're sitting pretty The

37:12

only thing they need to do is because there's a little bit

37:14

of a break now Get a

37:16

Baza and putting the two skin in

37:19

there. Yeah, don't need him appearing again

37:22

No, too much time off can be a bad

37:24

thing. They literally have to chain him to the

37:26

Baza We're

37:30

gonna have Joe Sakhic sit outside of it

37:32

like those Russian guys did you're not going

37:35

anywhere Our guys had the

37:37

guns outside and what do you have seven goals

37:39

this series the church can I? Don't

37:41

know. I think so every game he scored

37:43

at least one. So RA

37:47

you're muted RA

37:49

you're muted buddy We'll

37:52

take over we go from all right We'll

37:57

go to another series that shut her down Carolina

38:00

Hurricanes and Butch Goreng's New York Islanders.

38:03

Biz, what could be over there? Oh,

38:05

what I saw was them the Islanders

38:07

break their own record Can

38:10

you believe it? Did you believe that

38:12

that happened again? That happening again? What are

38:14

the odds? Artie, start of the

38:16

third period I had to take a shit. I drank

38:19

a little bit of coffee to get going During

38:21

these late games, so I had to rev

38:23

up for the Nashville Vancouver game So

38:26

I go take a shit and I come back

38:28

and it's 5-3. It was 3-3 going into the

38:30

period I said what the fuck happened? Liam McEw

38:32

looks at me goes the exact same thing that

38:34

happened the other night They

38:37

beat their own record the game the

38:39

game where they blew that three goal

38:41

lead it happened in nine seconds Well

38:43

this one it was in eight seconds eight. Can

38:46

you fucking believe it with here's

38:48

the thing? Watch

38:56

too watch too. I think he reaches

38:58

for food at one No,

39:02

so the fourth ball the fourth

39:05

ball Stu just ends up just

39:07

like two seconds. I just grabs his fork

39:09

and grabs some more Z chicken cut let's

39:11

begin, but this

39:13

one man the

39:15

first one Shagos to throw

39:18

it on net off a foot right

39:20

to Jack's Rory Great shot for three

39:22

and then they rim it around hits

39:24

the Dasher goes right in front Like

39:27

the Islanders literally did nothing wrong on

39:29

both goals The Islanders

39:31

dude, I got a lot of respect for those

39:33

guys. They went and they won

39:35

that game five double OT or game four

39:37

Sorry, they forced it back to

39:39

Carolina. They're down three one. They tied

39:42

up again like zero quit in the

39:44

Islanders Nothing like you

39:46

think the high character team a lot of

39:48

older guys a lot of guys who've been

39:50

around They didn't make it easy on Carolina

39:52

and they ended up just getting two brutal

39:55

bounces for those four and five three goals

39:57

Even at four three after Troy scored I

39:59

was I think the owners will come back

40:01

like these guys. They're just relentless and

40:03

then eight Action

40:07

right to nose nose thing got three goals

40:09

in the series I think Kim and Jarvis

40:11

were the only hurricane players with three goals

40:13

I believe was it 10 of 12 forwards

40:16

for Carolina scored a goal in that series.

40:18

All right. Yeah, I'm going into that game

40:21

I think seven forwards had three or more

40:23

points for the Carolina hurricane They

40:25

got depth up front scoring at all forms right

40:27

now All right in job is where they had

40:30

the all-time chicklets bump the night we had him

40:32

on he had a goal in two assists Dad,

40:34

they'd end up with seven points in the series.

40:36

Hey, seriously, I'm gonna be the best run ever since

40:38

I guess they've had Of this show all time. Okay,

40:40

I'll go to this part of the game I've

40:44

seen if Genny who's nets off do

40:46

that in shootouts. We're talking

40:48

regular season Really doesn't

40:51

matter like a shootout. Yeah,

40:53

it's an extra point Shouldn't say it doesn't matter at

40:55

the end of the season those points really do come

40:57

into effect, but it's a shootout It's

40:59

an end. It's the end of the

41:01

game regular season January 15th. I'm gonna

41:03

go really slow dude When

41:06

he got the penalty shot when they picked him after the

41:08

hand over the puck in the crease I

41:10

said, I wonder if he's gonna do that. No, no,

41:12

no and sure shit. He got it and slowed down

41:14

I'm like, oh my god. Oh my god.

41:17

13 seconds. It took him to get to the net apparelli's

41:19

Apparelli's you hear someone going what the fuck

41:22

he's doing You're

41:24

just and I actually saw there's a there's a

41:26

fan you could see in the stands in Carolina

41:28

That's like it's like this as he's

41:30

approaching the goal and you could never seen it

41:33

before No one I think there

41:35

was probably a lot of people there that yeah He's

41:37

new to the team and they haven't watched a ton

41:39

of capital's hockey in the past and they're like, what

41:41

is happening? What is going on and he's just waiting

41:43

for the poke check and then you could tell for

41:46

a lot of so mad He's just disgusted and sure

41:48

shit. He goes poach at both scored. I I

41:51

Was laughing my ass off after that

41:54

one is I'm like this motherfucker did

41:56

that in a playoff game like

41:58

the balls to do Do you know

42:00

what the heat he would have taken? Forget

42:03

online and all that shit from his teammates

42:05

had he not scored there? Well,

42:07

bud, I mean go with the percentages

42:10

I think that he's 45% in

42:12

his career on penalty shots and he pulls

42:14

that off every time So why would he

42:16

change it up? And most of the time

42:18

people are saying if you get the penalty

42:20

shot, would you rather have the power

42:22

play? Well Not

42:24

unless it unless it's the Edmonton Oilers power

42:26

play You're picking koozie to go every time

42:28

with the slow-mo going in and Wayne was

42:30

vocal about it on the broadcast I think

42:32

we had him on a regular season game

42:34

and he did it He's like I'm not

42:36

crazy about that But if you've earned the

42:38

right to get a penalty shot, there's no

42:41

back checker I don't think there should ever

42:43

be a shot clock if you want to

42:45

take 30 seconds to get to the net

42:47

Take 30 seconds fuck stop and have a

42:49

cup of coffee and a sandwich You know,

42:51

you can you forward movement. That's

42:53

the only rule the hardest part about it

42:56

Lundquist said is the fact that as a

42:58

goalie you have to get out and then

43:00

as you come back matches speed But you're

43:02

kind of hanging out on your edges there

43:05

as a goalie basically in a squat position

43:07

like creaking back Like you're in a rocking

43:09

chair, but it's too slow. Normally, there's some

43:11

type of momentum But he's waiting waiting waiting

43:14

and like you said the frustration kicks in

43:16

That's when he tries to get him with

43:18

a cobra strike and that's when koozie goes

43:21

more to the forehand Because now he's reaching

43:23

with that blocker hand and then that low

43:25

blockers wide open and he picks it off

43:27

every fucking time It's genius. It's genius. It's

43:30

just amazing to watch. Yeah, it is genius.

43:32

I didn't know his percentage was that high

43:34

I'm worried if I could I wish I

43:36

could ask Hank as as I know nothing

43:39

about goaltending I would think in

43:41

that instance you're not poke checking like

43:44

because you pretty much know put

43:46

it this way All right, you know a bunch

43:48

of guys. Um, who's unbelievable at it? Like you

43:50

see Barkov do it but where they'll go they'll

43:53

go one way and then really cut back You

43:55

have to be going back to do that. That's

43:57

just legendary. I was trying to take a car

44:00

players but he's going so slow

44:02

that you know his first stick handle is gonna

44:04

be a shot because you're not you're not moving

44:06

fast enough to actually like get the goalie to

44:08

commit and go back to the other side I

44:11

would think a poke check when he's moving

44:13

that slow wouldn't be the play

44:15

do you know what I'm saying

44:18

by that yeah it's just wait for it just wait

44:20

for it and he's gonna go stick handle shot you

44:22

pretty much know he's always doing that but

44:25

the balls on him to do that he's

44:27

fucking get the wheelbarrow going like the South

44:30

Park meme he was

44:32

dying laughing on the bench as he went through

44:34

like howling but

44:36

like you said credit to the Islanders man

44:38

they battled their dicks off it's kind of

44:40

like going back to last year with Carolina

44:42

in that Florida series I thought they deserved

44:45

a better fate like at least for it

44:47

to go to six games the way that

44:49

they played because outside of game two when

44:51

when Carolina dominated had like a hundred hundred

44:53

shooting chances at the net I

44:55

felt like like Islanders brought it

44:57

every other game where it was pretty even

44:59

I think two of the games they outshot

45:01

them to which never happens with Carolina so

45:05

nonetheless hurricanes just way too deep and

45:07

those those moves at the deadline ended

45:09

up paying off big-time too I thought

45:11

between Kuzi and Gensil they fucking brought

45:13

it we all knew

45:15

we were gonna get Carolina versus

45:18

the Rangers yeah and then

45:20

that one that one should

45:22

be incredible viewing I think that's gonna

45:24

be an amazing series I

45:27

I've said it I think it's going seven I

45:29

picked Dallas Vegas to go seven I think that's

45:31

gonna go seven I picked Boston Toronto go seven

45:33

I think I'm right on with my sevens and

45:36

that one I would be shocked if it

45:38

ends before that and Rangers have home ice

45:41

Rangers are the president's trophy winners they've been

45:43

sitting around resting at home Carolina's got a

45:45

hop on a flight and maybe a day

45:47

or two can't wait to

45:49

see that series begin we're gonna preview

45:51

it a little later on right yeah

45:54

yeah we don't much one do it right up as dad

45:56

we don't do it right well I think we do later

45:58

on with the series that already going on

46:01

current. Alright, let's hear from our friends at Verizon in

46:03

the meantime. Alright

46:06

everybody, before we go any further, here's a few

46:08

words from our good friends over at Verizon. Ho

46:11

ho gang, playoffs have been here for a

46:13

little bit now. We're having a lot of fun because

46:15

we have Verizon's fast, reliable network that lets us

46:17

stream the games, the draft, all the stuff on

46:20

the goal or at home to keep up with

46:22

all the action. Of course, I'm in Boston here,

46:24

very concerned with what the Bruins are doing. Hopefully,

46:26

they can wrap it up soon here. Maybe move

46:28

on to Florida after there's all kinds of good

46:30

series to look for here in the

46:32

East. We're going to have the Rangers on tap,

46:34

but even New York fans see what you like.

46:36

Plus, Verizon makes it easy to save on streaming

46:39

these Stanley Cup playoffs for limited time. They're offering

46:41

a great deal on the Disney bundle,

46:43

including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.

46:45

Honestly, the best deal out

46:47

there in streaming. Of course,

46:49

you can stream select playoff games as well,

46:51

including every game of the Stanley Cup Final

46:54

on ESPN+. Can't wait, almost there. Get into

46:56

the second round right about now. You

46:58

can visit verizon.com/Bosdell to

47:01

learn more. There's

47:05

a couple other notes. Lou Lamoureux was his 325th

47:07

career postseason game. He

47:10

passed Glen Seda for the most by any

47:12

GM anywhere. Lamoureux also has 172 career

47:15

playoff wins. He does trail Seda with 187, so

47:17

he's got a ways to go to catch

47:19

him. Also, too, I just know the goal

47:21

is having Sorokin, man. He was 0-1, three

47:24

goals allowed on 14 shots. I'll ask him.

47:26

He had a 6-6-1 goals against and a

47:28

7-8-6 save percentage. Yeah, it

47:31

really wasn't his net. It wasn't really his net. I

47:34

thought it was Varley's. I thought that

47:36

Varley had stolen the job later in

47:38

the season. I also felt with Patrick

47:40

Waugh's comments about Sorokin that he maybe

47:43

lost a little bit of trust in

47:45

him. And it seemed like

47:47

Sorokin's confidence wasn't there where it had

47:49

been in years past. And hey, the

47:51

good thing for the Islanders is they

47:53

had a two-goal system. I thought Varley

47:56

played okay, but ultimately got

47:58

peppered in that last game. Besides

48:00

that maybe there was a few goals that

48:03

Varley wanted back like the Kuzi one

48:05

in game one this reverse VH thing It's

48:08

kind of starting to melt my skull a

48:10

little bit. Well, we could talk about the

48:12

Dadaanov goal. Well, well, that's No,

48:15

no, I think it could probably lead us into

48:17

that series because I think we had another series

48:19

next I've well, we had Florida Tampa. Where do

48:21

you guys want to go? I think it was

48:23

Van Nash we were gonna go because just last

48:25

night, right? Let's do it. Let's

48:27

do it. Yeah. Yeah, that's right Disasters had to

48:30

gave off a natural they eat out a two-door

48:32

and win in game five to send the series

48:34

back to Nashville The game six Nikita Zadora put

48:36

van Gogh up one nothing early didn't see that

48:38

coming Roman Yossi got the game

48:40

tangos a lot of controversy here biz A lot

48:43

of people thought talking should have challenged for our

48:45

perhaps goaltender in the feelings He decided not to

48:47

he said it would down to one then maybe but it's

48:49

5050 at that point We looked at it I don't

48:51

know what the NHL doing that one so I don't I

48:53

don't I don't think was a bad call him not doing it Cuz then

48:56

you send him to a you know pop potential pop but

48:59

we are so the reason that most people

49:01

are saying he should have was

49:03

based on how Nashville's power play had

49:05

been performing and How

49:07

most of the calls had been going this playoff

49:09

like you saw? Coops postgame

49:11

press conference where they got hooped I

49:14

thought that that was worse than what had

49:16

happened in the Florida Tampa game um I

49:19

can tell there's I can understand why he

49:21

didn't go because if you go back to

49:23

game three I believe Vancouver

49:25

was up to nothing and and

49:29

DeSmith got bumped into and

49:32

they were considering maybe calling goaltender interference

49:34

there where talk didn't want to maybe

49:36

Rattle his team and show weakness so

49:38

he didn't and then they ended up

49:41

squeaking out that to one victory with

49:43

the Smith, right? so

49:47

Past patterns in the series where he

49:49

hadn't challenged was fine now not challenging

49:52

this one They had the

49:54

momentum because they scored the goal to make it 1-1

49:56

if you put them right back on the power play

49:58

and then they finally and finally

50:00

get another power play goal. I think it

50:02

looks poorly on talk. And he said based

50:04

on when he was viewing it in

50:06

real time, he thought it was a 50-50. So

50:10

up until that point, I guess I can't argue with

50:12

the fact that he didn't want to put them on

50:14

the power play. And he was okay with where his

50:16

team was at one-one. So you

50:18

disagree with, you disagree because of how

50:21

Nashville's power play had been performing are

50:23

based in real time on seeing what

50:25

had happened, thinking this would 100% come

50:27

back because he's

50:29

pushing him into the net. I

50:31

thought it would have come back. I

50:33

just forget the power play, forget anything.

50:35

I thought that goal's coming back. And

50:38

you talked about, you looked at the

50:40

Tampa, Florida ones. I mean, Nyquist puts

50:42

his stick into C-loaves. I'm

50:44

sorry if I'm saying his name incorrectly. He puts

50:46

his stick into his midsection in the crease and

50:48

all of a sudden the puck goes in. I

50:51

think that there would have been big time complaints

50:53

from Nashville fans that it did get called back,

50:55

but I think that one's coming back. Now

50:57

I do get his point that if that puts them

50:59

in the lead, it's like we kind of have to,

51:02

but I don't know. I just, I look

51:04

at that and think that the way that this

51:06

has been getting called, I think that goal is

51:09

getting taken off the board. It's a momentum killer

51:11

for Nashville. And yeah, you're

51:13

right. I wasn't even thinking about that, but we

51:16

could stop their power play. Now, Army

51:18

on the broadcast did another great job

51:21

and he was kind of talking about that they

51:23

didn't even try to set up. Yossi came flying

51:26

in and they just went with, he had some

51:28

good term for it. They just attacked right off

51:30

the hop. They just went right in there. Beautiful

51:32

give and go. I mean, Yossi's so fast and

51:34

it drives the crease in. Yeah, if

51:37

you see somebody come into the crease and just

51:39

stick their stick into the goalie, all

51:41

the time you watch the game, it's like, oh,

51:43

that's gonna be goaltender interference. So it was more

51:45

about the replay of overhead. That was the replay

51:47

I saw. I was like, oh, challenge.

51:49

But Topps kind of, yeah, so you

51:51

see, they all play. You

51:54

know, Topps right his stick there, it ends up just

51:56

going from there directly into his side and then the

51:58

puck's in. It's like that has

52:00

to have something to do with it when the league's

52:02

looking at the replay. Yeah, they,

52:04

some people argued that maybe Zadorov would

52:07

have got called, like are called. They

52:09

would have considered him pushing him in

52:11

a little bit too. But

52:13

I agree with you. I'm about, I'm about 60% sure

52:16

that they would have overturned that goal. Now,

52:19

if you go back to, uh, the

52:21

penalty just over the blue line,

52:23

the defensive zone that Joshua took, I

52:26

think late in the game, under 10

52:28

minutes, you don't have to finish that

52:30

hit. You just worry about getting inside

52:32

the dots and getting back to D

52:34

zone coverage. Like you're getting, you're maybe

52:36

letting the moment overtake your emotions a

52:38

little bit. Cause it was so crazy

52:41

inside that building up one nothing last

52:43

period. You think you're going to be

52:45

able to close out at home. Everybody's

52:47

horned up for hockey in Vancouver. I

52:49

don't know if you guys have heard this, um, our

52:51

Buddhist club story in Vancouver.

52:55

So there's this club. It's

52:57

like a hundred K to join. There's

52:59

a huge waiting list for it. I've

53:01

actually been there before is Pasha is

53:03

Pasha on the stream right now behind

53:05

the scenes. He

53:08

is. Yeah. Oh no. Is he,

53:10

can he come on for a sec? Yeah. I

53:13

mean, I mean, well, it's not much of

53:15

snuck into this place. Are

53:17

you a member at the Arbutus club? Uh,

53:20

no, but I want it to be. And after hearing the story,

53:22

I might want to be even more. So they,

53:24

so they have everything you want. They have

53:26

swimming pools. They have a pickle ball court,

53:28

squash courts. They even have an ice rink.

53:31

And I think a couple of days a

53:33

week, they have these open skates for kids.

53:35

I don't know if they go there and

53:37

they get like private lessons or whatever it

53:39

may be. So this

53:41

big email ends up coming out where

53:45

on Tuesdays and Thursdays, let's say there's

53:47

a skate at 10 AM while the

53:49

kids go on the ice and all the parents

53:52

who bring the kids, they end up meeting

53:54

down in parking garage level three. And

53:56

they have gang banks in the cars.

54:00

All the members who- I was

54:02

getting like lessons growing up But

54:05

I have no clue but there was

54:07

a company or a Arbutus Club email

54:09

that went out because all these parents

54:11

have been Caught because the cameras caught

54:13

them where they're like swapping SUVs and

54:16

shit. They go down there

54:18

Wait, not with the cup couple within

54:20

couple. They're all swinging at this artists

54:22

club Oh, yeah on the parking level

54:24

three like trunks open like gang bang

54:26

switching like whoop in you got fucking

54:29

Nancy from North Van eat a fucking

54:31

headrest Well, you know Kirk

54:33

from Kitsilano is fucking bringing her to the

54:35

woodshed And because their kids

54:37

are working on like two-on-ones together on the

54:39

ice they're like alright well two-on-one your wife

54:41

With the season the Canucks have had they're

54:44

all horned up for hockey and it's getting

54:46

them going so Pasha's

54:48

gonna be waiting outside the door at this place He's

54:52

been trying to get it's like hedonism three

54:55

it's like we're RAs to hang out with Jamaica But

54:57

now it's made its way north of a border Could

55:00

you imagine like eight different couples? So

55:03

they're having a think Joshua through that

55:05

head he was taking like I

55:07

laid this guy out here I'm first invite

55:09

to the club tonight. He's doing private lessons

55:12

from fucking Nancy from North Van So

55:14

it makes me cock sucked off his torso

55:16

in the back of her G wagon Oh,

55:19

I think he's the ball for the carry in the

55:21

fucking woman to huh? Okay,

55:23

bitch Pasha

55:27

you Your Devils I saw

55:29

they can't even get in the playoffs But they

55:31

get brought up on ESPN is the worst Overtime

55:34

record and NHL history in the playoffs that really

55:36

cracked me up I saw that that was shocking,

55:38

but I mean since I've kind of like been

55:40

a fan I feel like they've been pretty good

55:42

like this past season. They were one-on-one in 2012

55:45

I'm pretty sure they're undefeated like Henry cut

55:47

a couple overtime goals That's

55:50

not surprising. That must be like a late 90s

55:52

early 2000s kind of thing if

55:54

anyone is in van Pasha

55:56

is available for private skating

55:58

lessons as long as you

56:00

take care of them after

56:02

it doesn't have to be

56:04

paid for by cash thank

56:06

you Pasha. What is the

56:08

goalie V8? What is it?

56:10

Is that the tomato juice?

56:12

Remember that tomato juice? V8.

56:15

Okay, Sorrows had that thing

56:17

going on that Zadorov shot too. Because

56:20

that shot's from a bad angle. Zadorov's like

56:22

he's kind of becoming a little like cult

56:24

figure in there. Oh they're gonna have to

56:26

recycle them. People in Vancouver love them.

56:28

And that reverse V8, it

56:31

hurts the smaller goalies. That's what

56:33

I was going to talk about.

56:35

You see Sorrows get exposed

56:37

there. Look at Logan Thompson. It's all these

56:39

guys who are below six feet or in

56:41

that range. Guys like Ottinger can get away

56:43

with it. Guys like Hill can get away

56:46

with it. All these mutants like Vasilevsky, they

56:48

can be on their knees and their shoulders

56:50

go up to the crossbar. These other guys

56:52

need to stand the fuck up because

56:55

they're getting exposed. And I actually think

56:57

that the Vegas Golden Knights or excuse me

56:59

Dallas Stars have figured that out. Because they've

57:01

scored like that from Wyatt Johnson and then

57:03

you saw the Dadnov one. The other one

57:06

that ended up going off of Delandria.

57:09

That one ended up being a lucky one when he

57:11

was batting with Eitkol that hit him in the chest.

57:13

But these goalies are going to start getting exposed from

57:16

that goal line area when they keep going down like

57:18

this. Fizz,

57:20

Tyson Barry got in the lineup first time all playoffs.

57:22

He didn't know until like 20 minutes before the game.

57:24

He went for a walk all day. He was on

57:26

the Scratches bus at 6.20 and he found out Luke

57:29

Shin was sick and I'm getting in the lineup. He's getting a assist so

57:32

kudos to him. I know you pal. I figured I'd

57:34

give him a little shout out. Yeah you know it's been

57:36

tough sledding for him. He's been out of the lineup and

57:38

you know trying to keep his his motivation high. I mean

57:40

you always want to be a part of it right. And

57:42

when he got picked up by them last

57:44

year from Edmonton, I think that he thought

57:47

he was going to go in there and

57:49

help QB the power play. Well obviously if

57:51

you got Roman Yossi, I mean

57:53

he gets first dibs right and it hadn't

57:55

really worked out. You know maybe he's out

57:57

of the lineup too because he can get

57:59

exposed. defensively a little bit but

58:02

I forget who it was who sat out with illness.

58:05

Wasn't Shen was it? Yeah. Oh

58:07

yeah. So he gets inserted his hometown

58:09

of Vancouver basically I mean he's from

58:11

Victoria and I thought he had a

58:13

pretty solid game so good for him

58:15

and good good mojo for the squad

58:17

him being able to come in and

58:20

make an impression on that peeps. So

58:22

oh sorry bitch. No I didn't really

58:24

have much other than boys like JT

58:28

Miller's been a beast in this series even

58:30

in that game like I played a couple clips in

58:33

the in the intermission of

58:35

him just completely dominating they

58:38

need to get PD to the point where

58:40

he's dominating a game. If you pay a

58:42

guy 11 million dollars you have to drive

58:44

your own line. I'm not saying you got

58:46

to show up all series and there has

58:48

been a few instances where he has made

58:50

good plays but he's also

58:52

made some bonehead ones he lost coverage in the

58:55

last game where they were able to get out

58:57

of but man he's got to

58:59

fucking show up in game six he needs

59:01

to take over he needs to elevate his

59:03

level of play because if he doesn't man

59:05

I could see them dropping this in seven they

59:08

aren't getting any type of sustained ozone time

59:10

other than that JT Miller and maybe the

59:12

third line to some degree. I

59:15

thought I thought darlin's line has been incredible

59:17

too with Linholm but where the fuck is

59:19

PD man? I don't know

59:21

and Canucks fans kind of sometimes

59:23

don't blame the fact that he's not playing with

59:26

their best wingers and as you said you got

59:28

to get a carrier online dude look

59:30

at the people McDavid's played with over the course of

59:32

his career and obviously as Hyman but

59:34

what has he done for him? Now Saros

59:37

really wasn't himself throughout this series

59:40

but the third period like even

59:42

that entire game that's a

59:44

worry if I'm a Canucks fan. I

59:46

said I thought the Predators had the

59:48

best chance of any team down 3-1

59:50

to come back and win this series

59:52

now they're going home dude that save

59:54

he made on Linholm the garland pass

59:56

from behind the net was so stick

59:58

he had no room to tighten turn

1:00:00

against the boards did so quick and threw

1:00:02

a blind backhand or right to Lindholm. It

1:00:05

felt like a set play like Lindholm knew he'd

1:00:07

find him but he just darted over to the

1:00:09

right and Saros slid over with ease and saved

1:00:11

that one. Now they're going home. I mean, yes,

1:00:14

they lost both games there, but that crowd is

1:00:16

still awesome. It's a hard place to play. Let's

1:00:18

see if they can force a game seven, but

1:00:20

Saros getting hot and becoming who we all thought

1:00:23

he was as opposed to the beginning of the

1:00:25

series. That's a worry right there. So we'll see

1:00:27

how it ends up, but I agree with you

1:00:29

on PD and Garland

1:00:32

has been awesome. That's a guy and JT Miller

1:00:34

has been great. It's just weird to

1:00:36

see Vancouver like I thought they'd close that game out.

1:00:38

I really would. And they didn't have the challenge and

1:00:40

all of a sudden they're going back to Nashville on

1:00:42

a tough play. Why my Oilers

1:00:45

need to close out this series tonight,

1:00:47

dude. They will just be sitting around

1:00:49

waiting for Vancouver. Is

1:00:52

Quinn Hughes hurt? Does he have a shoulder

1:00:54

issue? I

1:00:57

don't know about the shoulder issue, but I want to

1:00:59

talk to you guys about the game winning goal. Did

1:01:01

you see it? Let's hear it,

1:01:03

Murr. It was a good shot. It was a great little

1:01:05

shot. It was a great little shot. Smart shot from the

1:01:08

D like you're going to be giving all of your beautist

1:01:10

club members limp. Another, another,

1:01:12

another one where the goalie was screened.

1:01:15

Maybe he was actually screened them, but

1:01:17

are you telling me he couldn't have blocked

1:01:19

this shot? I, I watched

1:01:21

the clip. I kept rewinding my TV. I

1:01:24

think he might even move this foot. Oh

1:01:26

God. Like look at this. You

1:01:29

got it. You got to eat

1:01:31

that out. Muscled. You got to eat that.

1:01:33

Look, see how his legs turned. That's

1:01:35

not how you block a shot. And that's what my

1:01:38

whole thing is. He doesn't know how to block a

1:01:40

shot and you can't like his right foot is now

1:01:42

facing the right corner in the last still image. Yeah.

1:01:45

See how it keeps moving. And then I'm telling you, rewatch the

1:01:47

clip. Looks like he moved his foot. That's not how you went

1:01:49

in the playoffs. And I

1:01:51

talked about it before and it came up

1:01:53

and there's a game winning goal. Now we're

1:01:55

going back to Nashville game six. Is

1:01:58

there any way we're doing a chicletch trip for that game? That'd

1:02:00

be a fun little spot to be Friday

1:02:03

night in Nashville is a Friday night

1:02:05

imagine me on Broadway Yeah

1:02:14

That's actually Sorry,

1:02:16

go ahead Yeah, the first playoff game face an elimination

1:02:18

on the Preds of one since game six back of

1:02:21

the second round of 2018 So

1:02:23

in a little struggle in the old elimination

1:02:25

games I think Murr you and you

1:02:27

and Pasha are neck-to-neck for most hated

1:02:30

man in Vancouver. He's taking Pasha over

1:02:33

I was starting to climb back, but then that one just

1:02:35

it happened for me exactly what I talked

1:02:37

about You got to be big you got

1:02:39

a block shot I was

1:02:41

starting to think like well mate because he doesn't even

1:02:44

play penalty kill or the last minutes when they're up

1:02:46

a goal So I was starting even a question if

1:02:48

he's their number one D man Oh, no

1:02:50

cut the shape of these other ones He

1:02:53

doesn't even play the final minute all these other guys

1:02:55

play the final minute when they're Edmond

1:02:58

Macar McAvoy

1:03:01

Lindstrom key Minute

1:03:05

you get different type of number one although need

1:03:07

I was out there in the last minute Guys,

1:03:10

wearing the awesome new Crown Comfort Line from

1:04:07

Peter Millar. So be sure to head over

1:04:09

to petermillar.com/chiclets to check out the Crown Comfort

1:04:11

Line. That's Peter Millar,

1:04:13

the official outfitter of the USGA

1:04:16

and Spitting Chiclets. So shout out Peter Millar,

1:04:18

amazing stuff. I wore it before this podcast

1:04:20

ever existed and I'm lucky enough to continue

1:04:22

to wear it now. So we're

1:04:26

going back to Dallas, Biz,

1:04:28

and we're going back to

1:04:30

Glassbanger Land. And this

1:04:32

asshole, this asshole might, he might have,

1:04:34

of course he's going and he's the

1:04:36

most hated dude. Mark Stone

1:04:38

has cheated LTIR for two straight years and

1:04:41

Dallas Stars fans hate Glassbanger more than Mark

1:04:43

Stone. And shout out Mark Stone, I think

1:04:45

his wife was with maybe his brother or

1:04:47

her brother wearing an LTIR. If

1:04:52

you can't respect that, even if you hate the

1:04:54

Golden Knights, that's funny as shit. Funny. That's

1:04:57

just funny. That's troll level 1000 right there. That

1:04:59

looks like memes kind of by the way, that guy. Better

1:05:03

looking brother. Yeah,

1:05:06

for the fourth straight game in the series, boys, the

1:05:08

road team was the victor. Dallas heaved up Vegas with

1:05:10

the four to one, four to win rather. Each team

1:05:12

has 11 goals in this series. Dead

1:05:14

even right now, Roger, tough start for the series, but he's

1:05:16

been outstanding in the last three games. Biz,

1:05:19

let's go to you on this one. How do you see this playing out? Six,

1:05:22

seven games a one. I don't I don't remember

1:05:24

you. I think if Glassbanger shows up to game

1:05:26

five, Dallas is going to lose at home again.

1:05:29

He was he wants me to pay for his

1:05:31

seats in his $9,000 hooker. Who

1:05:34

this who spends $9,000 on a hooker? It

1:05:37

looks like Glassbanger is currently in the chat right

1:05:39

now as well. Where is he? Yeah,

1:05:42

this is my land. He's

1:05:44

not coming on. I know he isn't

1:05:46

working, dude. He's got his dad's seat.

1:05:48

He's got his dad's money. He's the

1:05:50

Hymen of Glassbanger. I said it originally.

1:05:55

The one thing they do have going for him

1:05:57

is this Wyatt Johnston kid. He is

1:05:59

a fucking. Didn't you say that

1:06:01

he was gonna be the next Patrice Berger

1:06:03

on Merle? Yep, and I was laughed at

1:06:05

then that was a couple years ago I

1:06:07

never laughed at you for that not by

1:06:09

us by probably the chat. Yeah by the

1:06:11

yeah Well, I think wasn't Monte the one

1:06:13

who said it to you. Yep. Yeah,

1:06:15

you loved him I don't know how he must have

1:06:18

known him from a prospect camp in Dallas or something

1:06:20

and he goes to the hard areas too

1:06:23

He's slippery about it though. He just seems

1:06:25

to be able to get lost and

1:06:27

I don't know man. He's fucking he's taken over I

1:06:29

think posh has got a ticket on him. He spent

1:06:31

a hundred bucks to win ten grand for

1:06:34

a future on he wins the Consmite but they're

1:06:36

gonna have to figure things out at home I

1:06:39

would say that those two games

1:06:41

showed me that we thought Dallas

1:06:43

is exactly who we thought they were

1:06:45

I thought Hayskinen was probably the best

1:06:48

player on the ice overall and the fact

1:06:50

that he's got a lug the ice time

1:06:52

He's lugging he upped his physical game and

1:06:54

he also got way more engaged offensively I

1:06:56

don't think that he had to turn the

1:06:58

regular season given the fact that he had

1:07:01

two first lines and it seemed like

1:07:03

two Third lines the way that they've been going But

1:07:06

he had to elevate his play and become

1:07:08

more of a monster in that number one

1:07:10

that you talk about mer And I thought

1:07:12

he was fucking everything is advertised He flies

1:07:14

on the radar all season long because he

1:07:17

plays in Dallas, but he's been lugging the

1:07:19

mail jumping in looking like His

1:07:21

old pal Klingberg doing the Shakira Shakira

1:07:23

Shakira hips on the blue line juking

1:07:26

guys Doing it quietly

1:07:29

But I tell you what man going back

1:07:31

home They got to bring that same effort and the

1:07:33

one thing going to the other side I don't think

1:07:35

some of the big boys for Vegas have shown up

1:07:38

I call I call and March it's

1:07:40

all been fucking good, but hurdle

1:07:43

man Part of

1:07:46

the cigarette machine hasn't played like he did

1:07:48

last year Petrol, I don't know if

1:07:50

he's still a little bit banged up outside

1:07:53

of game one I haven't really felt the

1:07:55

effects of Mark stone being that

1:07:57

piece of shit pain in the ass. Maybe not

1:07:59

the the net front presence

1:08:01

that we would have expected, especially after that

1:08:03

nice tipping in game one. Hey, and it's

1:08:05

hard to get back in a game shape.

1:08:07

Maybe game one, you're running on pure adrenaline,

1:08:10

but they got to get their

1:08:12

stars a little bit more involved. Shay Theodore is

1:08:14

another guy. Like, he should be another Haskin and

1:08:16

lug in the mail, getting up in the rush,

1:08:19

getting more involved. So overall,

1:08:21

man, if Vegas' stars don't

1:08:23

show up, I think

1:08:25

that Dallas is going to take this series. And

1:08:27

I commend the young legs. I think Stan Colvin,

1:08:30

although not really finding the back of the net

1:08:32

as much as I'd expected, he's been great. He's

1:08:34

been a water bug out there. And

1:08:37

Hintz finally showed up, too. He had that

1:08:39

huge block at the end of the game

1:08:41

in game four, and he ends up getting

1:08:43

the empty netter. So Dallas looking really good

1:08:46

going back home. But once again, it's going

1:08:48

to come back to that asshole glassbanger, making

1:08:50

it all about himself. He's

1:08:52

probably not even going to have a hot $9,000 hooker. This

1:08:55

is probably going to be a trash bucket, just like

1:08:58

he is. And it's going to be

1:09:00

all about him, and they're going to lose and

1:09:02

cost themselves the series. He ain't going to learn

1:09:04

his lesson either, because they'll probably go win game

1:09:06

six. And then he's still going to be an

1:09:08

asshole, as opposed to giving away his tickets to

1:09:10

charity and letting the juju be good in the

1:09:12

bottom of the section. Nope. He's

1:09:14

a cancer, folks. He's a bad,

1:09:16

he's a bad-bucking. I

1:09:19

agree with you on that, Biz. Murals, you know what

1:09:21

this is reminding me of? And people will think I'm

1:09:23

insane, because it's quite the leap.

1:09:27

Lockout year. Wilkes-Barre

1:09:29

Penguins versus the Binghamton Senators.

1:09:32

Hell, yeah. Binghamton wins the

1:09:34

first two games, and

1:09:36

we storm back, and we take four

1:09:38

straight. I think Dallas is a

1:09:41

better team. I think they got a lot

1:09:43

more going for them. I think they have

1:09:45

a better goalie. That is not to say

1:09:47

Logan Thompson hasn't been really good in this

1:09:49

series, but that's the Donov goal. Everyone's like,

1:09:51

yeah, it's this insane shot. Dude,

1:09:53

it's from the boards on the goal line. That

1:09:55

can't go in. And Dallas is

1:09:57

rolling now. I think they take this

1:09:59

and see. I got to talk to you because

1:10:01

you mentioned Thompson Aiden Hill is gonna get the start tonight.

1:10:04

No Hidden

1:10:06

Hills in the net I got some other other

1:10:08

updates from our Vegas insider. We

1:10:11

got new lines We got new lines

1:10:13

out in Vegas wonder put them in

1:10:15

the blender. You got hurdle I go

1:10:17

Marchy Dorfiev Stevenson stone how to mantha

1:10:20

I'm a deal Carrier

1:10:22

wa in the cigarette machine on the

1:10:24

fourth line. It's a my machine. So

1:10:26

that's how so it makes

1:10:29

sense I think Cassidy's price sick. He

1:10:31

hasn't run over anyone. Remember last year,

1:10:33

but remember the hit that barbershop

1:10:36

put on Gouda's I mean,

1:10:38

there was like 10 of those for him in the

1:10:40

playoffs and all of a sudden He's just kind of skating

1:10:42

around. I think that he's so good when he doesn't

1:10:44

play Like he has the skill level

1:10:46

he has and he's just like I'm just gonna kill

1:10:48

people and then his skill takes over He gets a

1:10:50

little bit more room He's he's on the outside a

1:10:52

little bit and Cassidy's seen enough to stick them on

1:10:54

the fourth line now granted their fourth line But

1:10:57

still that's not what you thought you'd get out of barbershop

1:11:00

Yeah, I got out like mantha's just there as a

1:11:02

placeholder for Carlson Carlson will be there in the

1:11:04

game That was one one mishap. I made I

1:11:06

was just gonna say I

1:11:08

think Carson's a little banged up. So mantha's just

1:11:10

there for the skate, but that's the line from

1:11:13

morning skate Slick Willie

1:11:15

will be there. Yeah, so I was Vegas

1:11:17

Willie Yeah, you might show get two

1:11:19

goals. I go get three and only other forwards who

1:11:21

have goals at stone Hurdle in a

1:11:23

module only one goal each. So yeah, they definitely gonna step it

1:11:25

up They're gonna win the series and rolls for sure Also,

1:11:28

you just mentioned Thompson first playoff starts he's ever had two

1:11:30

and two with a two three five nine to one He's

1:11:32

been outstanding. I think he hasn't been a problem at all.

1:11:34

I'm surprised to go into Aidan Hill girls Why was the

1:11:37

last I am surprised by that too? Like

1:11:39

what's I don't I don't yeah I mean that

1:11:41

that overtime game was incredible and that actually reminded me

1:11:44

of the Binghamton too We beat them in overtime

1:11:46

and flipped the series, but yeah, I mean aid well

1:11:48

Aidan Hill won the Stanley Cup last year How do

1:11:50

you you know you maybe you give him the road

1:11:52

game and that if you win you ride him

1:11:54

if you lose? Then Thompson gets the home game right

1:11:57

where he played phenomenal. I don't mind

1:11:59

that Hey, since that dickhead

1:12:01

glassbanger still in the chat, if

1:12:04

you guys lose game five at home

1:12:07

and you end up going back to game seven at

1:12:09

home, are you gonna show up if you're 0 for

1:12:11

3? He's just,

1:12:13

you think this guy cares about anyone but

1:12:15

himself and his hook daddy? He's going to

1:12:17

the game? Nine grand, I

1:12:20

mean, Christ. Nine grand? What

1:12:22

house with that fucking? She better have the biggest

1:12:24

bolt-ons I've ever seen if you're paying nine grand.

1:12:26

And where do you even get them on

1:12:28

back pages? Where is he

1:12:31

getting them? Local strip club? Imagine

1:12:33

he ends up getting arrested for this. I

1:12:37

think he buries himself on the chicklets, dad.

1:12:39

He should make Dallas fans a promise. If

1:12:41

it goes to game seven after going 0-3

1:12:43

at home, he should

1:12:46

put two of them in the front row,

1:12:48

tell them to sit down, not say a

1:12:50

word and bother anybody in the section. No

1:12:52

signs the whole game. And he should go

1:12:54

watch at his local watering hole. He shouldn't

1:12:56

go anywhere near that building, be unselfish and

1:12:59

let his team finally maybe win one at

1:13:01

home so they can close out the series.

1:13:03

That's just my thoughts. But going back to

1:13:05

you, Whit, he's a selfish piece of shit. It

1:13:08

ain't gonna happen. They ain't gonna win

1:13:10

a home game with him in the building. Mark my

1:13:12

words. Whit, what do

1:13:14

you think the series goes? Six or seven what? Well,

1:13:17

I kind of, I really, I

1:13:20

messed up because I picked seven and then earlier

1:13:22

in the show, I said, I like all my

1:13:24

seven calls. And I just said, I think Dallas

1:13:26

gets it done in six. So I'll stick to

1:13:28

seven. I think Dallas wins this series and I

1:13:30

wouldn't be shocked if they just go four straight.

1:13:32

They went at home tonight and in Vegas, the

1:13:34

next game, game six and they get it done.

1:13:36

But I would like to see seven, let's say

1:13:38

that. But I got Dallas, I got Dallas winning

1:13:40

this series and I got Dallas and Colorado being

1:13:42

one for the ages. Well, whether

1:13:44

1:15:14

Florida's next opponent. Don't know if it's going to be

1:15:17

Toronto or Boston. We'll see what happens there. But the

1:15:19

Panthers did finish off Tampa in five games. They're cross

1:15:21

state rivals. They finally beat them in a playoff series

1:15:23

the first time and three times they played them. But

1:15:26

Vrovsky, I'll tell you, his numbers weren't good. 4-1, obviously, 2-7, 8-8,

1:15:28

9-6. He was stellar, man. I

1:15:32

mean, I think it was one game that kind of threw

1:15:34

his numbers off. Kachuk for a haggy. Led the way once

1:15:36

again. Nine points for each. Florida's power play was stellar. But

1:15:39

let's get to the Coupe with the two overturned calls. I

1:15:41

mean, he doesn't usually bitch as much to the media.

1:15:43

I already complained. But there was the Duclay one and

1:15:45

then the one with Sorelli. What did you think when

1:15:48

they got holds? Yeah, definitely on

1:15:51

the first one of the Duclay one. That was

1:15:53

bullshit. The Duclay one was, I didn't like either

1:15:55

one of them. I don't

1:15:57

think Sorelli had a ton to do with Vrovsky.

1:16:00

not being able to save that puck, but

1:16:02

the Duclaire one, my biggest problem is, and

1:16:04

I don't know how it's not taken into

1:16:06

effect when the refs are looking at it,

1:16:08

Forsling's holding him. Forsling's holding

1:16:10

his stick. Like who's to say Duclaire wouldn't be just

1:16:12

stepping out of the crease and out of the way

1:16:15

if he wasn't being held where he was. So

1:16:17

I don't get how, you know, you talk about

1:16:19

sometimes if the defenseman pushes a player into

1:16:22

a goalie, if the defenseman on the goaltender's

1:16:24

team obviously pushes a forward and then the

1:16:26

goal will stand. Well, the defensive's standing there

1:16:28

holding a guy from moving out of the

1:16:31

crease and you still call it no goal.

1:16:33

So that one, it's like, that's

1:16:35

why Coop after that one was

1:16:37

just yelling, he's like, that's fucking bullshit. That

1:16:39

makes no sense because if you're being held,

1:16:42

it should cancel out all of the

1:16:44

goaltender interference that you consider with Duclaire

1:16:46

in the crease. Because he wouldn't have

1:16:49

been standing there if he wasn't held there. So I

1:16:51

didn't agree with that one at all. Like his skate's

1:16:53

there, but dude, he's trying to move and you can

1:16:55

see on the video of it, like

1:16:58

forcing, pulling his hand and

1:17:00

his stick away from, you know, getting

1:17:02

even out of the crease. So

1:17:04

I'm not wording that as correctly as I wish

1:17:06

I could, but I hope you understand what I'm

1:17:08

trying to say. It should be a holding penalty

1:17:10

then. There you go. There you

1:17:13

go. And it's Bobrovsky's choice to try to

1:17:15

wrap his arm around his skate where it

1:17:17

was. There's no rule about not having

1:17:19

your skate in the crease. I

1:17:21

thought it was a complete hose job and it

1:17:23

took every bit of momentum that Tampa was trying

1:17:25

to gain in the game. And

1:17:28

people will say, Oh, I got out of hand,

1:17:30

Florida ended up scoring them. It was a way

1:17:32

different game if those goals end up being counted

1:17:35

and they're getting power plays because they're not being

1:17:37

challenged. So I thought it was bullshit.

1:17:39

And I feel like Tampa Bay

1:17:41

fans were robbed. What was potentially Stamkos'

1:17:43

last game as a Tampa Bay Lightning.

1:17:46

Although given Breezeboies comments this

1:17:48

morning in the presser, it feels

1:17:51

like he maybe had a complete

1:17:53

change of heart. I don't know if that was based

1:17:55

on the Stamkos performance. We wanted him part of that

1:17:57

group. You all saw. House

1:18:02

from the trade deadline on, Stammerer

1:18:04

advocated his level of play, which

1:18:07

was incredible to see. For

1:18:11

someone who has

1:18:13

already earned his Hall of Fame plaque, has

1:18:16

accomplished so much already, and

1:18:18

has been accomplishing so much for so long, for

1:18:20

him to play arguably the best two months positive

1:18:22

in his career, to start around the trade deadline,

1:18:24

he carried it all the way through that two

1:18:26

against the Panthers. For him

1:18:28

to do that at the time when our team needed it

1:18:31

most was incredible. His

1:18:34

age is like... Well,

1:18:37

all right, here's the thing. Koop

1:18:39

said it, he belongs here, we know it,

1:18:41

he knows it. Briswa pretty much said the

1:18:43

same thing, but Briswa is gonna say, yeah,

1:18:45

you should be here, we want you here,

1:18:48

we know you want to be here, take

1:18:50

this. I don't

1:18:53

think because of what he saw from him,

1:18:55

and I don't agree with this, but I

1:18:57

don't think what he saw from him, he's

1:18:59

gonna really go off of his idea of

1:19:01

his term and his salary cap hit. And

1:19:04

Merliss mentioned in the group chat, like, yeah,

1:19:06

if you really want to stay, you're gonna

1:19:08

have to take a big time hometown discount,

1:19:10

you're probably not gonna get the term you

1:19:12

want. I think Stammerer really deserves a lot,

1:19:14

that guy has been such a legend with

1:19:16

that team. Forget the cups, forget everything he's

1:19:19

done in the community, forget the type of

1:19:21

teammate he's been. Dude, this guy's battled

1:19:23

through so many different injuries. Like you talked

1:19:25

last episode with Sergey Chep saw Stammkos do,

1:19:27

and he came back to score that huge

1:19:29

goal in the bubble cup against Dallas when

1:19:32

they were in the bubble of COVID time.

1:19:34

He's always battled back to broken leg in

1:19:36

Boston, missing the Olympics. It's been just character,

1:19:38

forget the goals, forget everything on the ice.

1:19:40

It's off the ice stuff where you're like,

1:19:42

this guy needs to be a member of

1:19:45

the Lightning. So if they do really low

1:19:47

ball him, if I'm Stammkos, I'm

1:19:49

saying, fuck this, I that's way easier for me

1:19:51

to say, not living there and spending my entire

1:19:53

adult life there. Half of his life's been in

1:19:55

Tampa Bay. So it's going to be hard for

1:19:58

him. But if they don't show him. him the

1:20:00

respect that I think he deserves. And people came

1:20:02

at me on Twitter like, oh, he's a declining

1:20:04

asset. It's like, is he though? Because

1:20:07

I saw him fucking light it up this year, and

1:20:09

he was maybe their best player in the playoffs too.

1:20:11

I don't know how. Yes. He's one of

1:20:13

the more dedicated players off the ice. He

1:20:15

works out with Gary Roberts. So I know

1:20:17

34 is not exactly a

1:20:20

spring chicken in today's NHL. But

1:20:22

to me, the way they get it done is

1:20:24

keep the AAV down and give them a little

1:20:26

bit of extra term. Give him

1:20:28

like a four or five year deal. I think

1:20:30

a team friendly deal is probably coming in at

1:20:32

about 4 and 1.5. I

1:20:35

probably imagine that he's going to want about 5 and 1.5, which

1:20:37

he could probably get on the open market. I

1:20:40

bet you the Leafs might even fucking give him six

1:20:42

just to bring his type of lead. I think you

1:20:44

could get a lot more than that. Yeah. I had

1:20:46

40 goals last year. So

1:20:48

what do you think a team is going to give a 34-year-old like

1:20:51

Steven Samkos? You think he's going to make three

1:20:53

years at $6 million a year? Is

1:20:56

it worth moving your family for the extra $500 to

1:20:58

$750 grand after

1:21:01

taxes? The guy's made how much has he

1:21:03

made in his career? He's probably going to

1:21:05

give me $590 million. Yep. Just under $100

1:21:07

million. There you go. Like what

1:21:09

do you mean here? So I think that if

1:21:11

you give him term and let him say, hey,

1:21:13

we want you to play four or five more

1:21:15

years here because we believe in the fact that

1:21:17

you keep in shape that you can play that

1:21:19

much longer. Let him end

1:21:21

at a lightning because the time that four

1:21:23

or five years comes along, Kucharov ain't going

1:21:25

to be the same player. Hedman ain't going

1:21:27

to be the same player. Wazzelewski ain't going

1:21:29

to be the same player. Let them all

1:21:31

ride off into the sunset in Tampa Bay.

1:21:33

And if you get some fucking duljum years,

1:21:35

who gives a shit? All the fans

1:21:38

are going to want to see those

1:21:40

guys all retire together. You can do

1:21:42

fucking jersey retirement night after jersey retirement

1:21:44

night and get people in the building

1:21:46

that way. Christ, look what the fucking

1:21:48

Penguins paid LaTang and Malkin to

1:21:50

keep them around to sell out the building and

1:21:52

have people around. I think you give them term,

1:21:54

and I think you could probably get them back

1:21:56

for $5 million. I think you

1:21:58

can do it. Where? Where is your guys,

1:22:01

each one of you guys official prediction as

1:22:03

to where he plays next season? He's playing,

1:22:05

I think now with everything that happened and

1:22:08

the change of tone in Breezeboix, I think

1:22:10

100% he's back in Tampa. I think that

1:22:12

watching Breezeboix's press conference, I feel like that's

1:22:14

damage control based on the way they've handled

1:22:17

it the entire season. No? I've

1:22:19

never seen Breezeboix speak like that

1:22:21

where he comes off like he's playing a little

1:22:24

bit of damage control, no? Yeah, very fine. He

1:22:26

was very fine in tourism, which I mean, he

1:22:28

should be. It's damn close, you know? Correct. Yeah.

1:22:31

It felt like damage control. I agree with you. Now

1:22:34

I think back to like legendary players

1:22:36

leaving, obviously it's football, but Brady, like

1:22:38

he hated Belichick by the end. I

1:22:41

think Koop and Stamkoast seems like they're

1:22:43

very close. They've had the success together

1:22:45

and they, I think he

1:22:47

still wants to be there. I haven't talked

1:22:49

to him about it, but I would like to see

1:22:52

him remain at Tampa Bay Lightning. I think it's cool

1:22:54

when somebody's able to be on one team their entire

1:22:56

career. Yeah, I'd

1:22:58

give him, I don't know, I'd give him three

1:23:00

times eight, but you know, that's just personality. But

1:23:02

I don't know. You'd be able to keep him

1:23:04

for eight million. No, I mean, I know that

1:23:06

Capri don't work, but I don't know, man. The

1:23:08

guy scored 45 goals last year. You heard what

1:23:11

Breezeboix just said about him. He was the best

1:23:13

player for the last two months. I mean, his

1:23:15

age is what it is, but he's not playing

1:23:17

like he's that old. I mean, he's probably the

1:23:19

best player for the last series for them. I

1:23:21

mean, imagine he's signed five Panthers. They

1:23:25

don't have the money. I'd give it to Reinhardt. Well,

1:23:28

let's go. I know. Let's go into

1:23:30

that because it was a changing of the guard

1:23:32

in the state of Florida, boys. Matthew

1:23:34

Kuchuk gave a great interview post game. He said,

1:23:36

when I got here a couple of summers ago,

1:23:39

we kind of talked about if we're going to do this, we're going

1:23:41

to have to get through them. And they were

1:23:43

able to not have to do it. Toronto took care of

1:23:45

it last year. And then they were, they

1:23:47

just waxed Toronto, but they knew, they knew at

1:23:49

one point to go on a run. They'd

1:23:52

have to end up knocking off the champs, knocking

1:23:54

off the guys who ran that state for a

1:23:56

long time. And they did it. They

1:23:58

did it at home, which was really cool. for the Panthers fans

1:24:00

who've just been the nail in

1:24:04

the rivalry of the hammer and the nail with

1:24:06

the Lightning all these years, and they did it

1:24:08

at home. The score wasn't

1:24:10

the score. How many empty netters did they get?

1:24:13

We're also saying, I was trying to live, oh, I

1:24:15

was trying to live bet next goal. I knew that

1:24:17

Cooper pulled a goalie belligerent style, and he did, but

1:24:20

it ended up being a drumming. Kachuk

1:24:22

mentioned that it meant a lot to them to

1:24:24

beat them at home, and now you look

1:24:26

at Florida. I think Florida is the

1:24:29

class of the East, personally. I

1:24:31

love Carolina, and I love the Rangers, but I think Florida

1:24:33

is a step above both of them, and

1:24:35

they're just primed and ready for another run. If

1:24:37

they could stay healthy, I think

1:24:39

that's the problem. Last year, Vegas killed everyone.

1:24:41

Well, Vegas was not even playing the Panthers

1:24:43

of the first round. Everyone

1:24:45

was banged up, so I know Bennett,

1:24:47

the injury wasn't as bad as they had seen or

1:24:51

maybe thought. We'll wonder if they get him

1:24:53

back for next round, but the Panthers put

1:24:55

on a performance. Barkov was incredible. I know

1:24:58

Kachuk and Barhegi have more points, but Barkov

1:25:00

in that final game, dude, that short-handed goal

1:25:02

he gets, and just the way he

1:25:04

kind of controls. That was his first, did somebody say

1:25:06

it was his first three-point playoff game in

1:25:09

game five? I was shocked about that. I don't know

1:25:11

if I'm getting that wrong. I thought I saw that

1:25:13

stat, but he's just a horse,

1:25:15

and they have all the mojo going again.

1:25:19

With your- I wanted to talk about Bob. I don't

1:25:21

care if like Gretzky, our boy Wayne, stats

1:25:24

are for losers, right? Is that what he said? Remember

1:25:27

when he was talking about Grant Fuhrer when they were winning

1:25:29

that cup, all those cups? It

1:25:31

wasn't, it was the timely saves. It

1:25:33

was those big saves that turned the

1:25:35

game, and that's what's been Bob back,

1:25:54

sometimes. And then- He's back! Yeah,

1:25:56

he doesn't stop! And then he's

1:25:58

absolutely just rips! He's

1:26:02

a bit of a pain in the ass to play

1:26:04

against like he'll he'll stick you he plays

1:26:06

hard man He's probably their most

1:26:08

undersized D But he plays above his weight

1:26:10

class and they're a beast back there boys.

1:26:12

They're gonna be a tough out I

1:26:15

just think I think they're going to wax Boston

1:26:18

or Toronto Wax,

1:26:20

I actually wanted to say that of the

1:26:22

16 teams that began the playoffs I think

1:26:24

everyone knew there was a couple that wouldn't win the cup.

1:26:27

I think there's seven that can win I

1:26:29

think you got Florida Carolina Rangers I think they

1:26:31

could all win the cup and then I think

1:26:33

you got Vegas Dallas Edmonton in Colorado I think

1:26:35

those are the seven teams granted dude. It's seven.

1:26:37

It's not like I'm listening down. So two teams

1:26:39

can win Boston and

1:26:41

Toronto Smell you

1:26:44

later next round guys. You're going

1:26:46

into the beast that is Florida and you're

1:26:48

going into their barn to do it I'm

1:26:51

gonna focus on the first round. We'll get in

1:26:53

whack by one like ah Kelly Clarkson That's

1:26:56

what's gonna be like plays them next round. Oh,

1:26:58

yeah. Yeah 40 year old version style. There you

1:27:00

go, buddy Alright boys. We got

1:27:03

1:28:06

All right, boys, what you mentioned earlier, Edmonton,

1:28:09

they're playing game five tonight versus L.A. Edmonton

1:28:11

a minus one twenty five favorite. Merle, so

1:28:13

you're liking that one tonight? Oh,

1:28:16

you want to get to my picks already, R.A.?

1:28:18

Well, I mean, I was well dive right in.

1:28:20

Of course, I'm I'm I don't have an Oilers

1:28:22

hat, but I'm going to be all over the

1:28:24

Oilers three way minus one twenty. I can tell

1:28:26

you that. And then we're

1:28:29

going back after Dreisaitl for the over

1:28:31

two and a half shots. Fiala

1:28:35

over two and a half shots, our guy from

1:28:37

the sandbagger. I watched the last few games. He

1:28:39

doesn't there's not a shot he doesn't like. He

1:28:41

doesn't turn down any kind of like

1:28:43

me at the Pink Whitney parties. And

1:28:45

then this an interesting one, a new one I found

1:28:47

with. I think you're going to like this one and

1:28:49

join me tonight. Deharney

1:28:51

block shots over two and a

1:28:54

half plus one fifty. He's

1:28:56

been a beast back there. I have

1:28:58

five one game. I like this. And,

1:29:01

you know, the Kings are going to have to come with a push. So

1:29:04

it's one I haven't I've never done a

1:29:06

block shot one, but I'm going to have

1:29:08

that in there tonight. But I'm an Oilers

1:29:10

tonight three way. I'm real excited for this

1:29:12

game tonight. I'm very excited.

1:29:14

I have a little bit of the nerves going

1:29:16

of of of coming out, having

1:29:18

them come out hot and ready to go like

1:29:21

you can't come out flat. Like you saw the

1:29:23

Bruins do it. Maybe they thought it'd be easier

1:29:25

than it would be. I would think after game

1:29:27

four that Edmonton knows it won't be easy. When

1:29:29

L.A. gets going, they get going. You're back at

1:29:31

home. The game won at home. They

1:29:33

trucked them. Let's see if that can kind of continue

1:29:36

its way of every other game.

1:29:39

The Oilers owning them. McDavid, amazingly

1:29:43

enough, consistently like reaches levels

1:29:45

that like Gretzky has. Like there's certain numbers

1:29:47

that McDavid's hitting. They're like, oh, Wayne Gretzky

1:29:49

is one of the only guys to do

1:29:51

that. He can join Wayne Gretzky tonight. This

1:29:53

is courtesy of Jason Greger, always dialed in

1:29:55

with the Oilers of of

1:29:57

joining only Wayne Gretzky is. as

1:30:00

the second player ever to have

1:30:03

10 or more assists in a playoff

1:30:05

series twice. McDavid has

1:30:07

already done it once. I believe Gretzky did it

1:30:09

like five or six times, not sure the exact

1:30:11

number, but McDavid has nine apples in this series

1:30:13

so he could become only the second player after

1:30:16

Wayne to get 10 twice in a series. Leon's

1:30:19

been dominant. Awesome clip came out. I think

1:30:21

it was with B.R. Biz of basically Hyman

1:30:23

and Nudes and Leon. They're all talking

1:30:25

about different plays. We do a couple of

1:30:27

different plays and Leon comes in after one

1:30:30

of the goals. They can't defend it. They

1:30:32

can't defend it and they can't. An

1:30:35

amazing PK that I said last show is just getting

1:30:37

used and abused for the second year in a row.

1:30:40

Not much to say considering they haven't played

1:30:42

since we last recorded, but tonight's the night

1:30:44

to end this series. If there's a chance

1:30:46

that Vancouver can have to go to seven,

1:30:48

more rest, get everyone even more healthy. I

1:30:51

think Edmonton's okay in that department, knock on

1:30:53

wood. Let's close them out tonight. Roger's

1:30:55

place will be rocking and there

1:30:57

we go. Well, you said it. The combined special teams

1:30:59

percentage for the Edmonton Oilers is at what? 153. 153

1:31:02

where it seems like LA's PK is just under 50%

1:31:04

right now and their power play is

1:31:13

0 for 11, I believe in the series. They don't have

1:31:16

a power play goal, right? No. Like

1:31:19

that's the fucking series right there. They don't

1:31:21

get that going. They don't have a chance

1:31:23

in hell of coming back in the series.

1:31:26

Like you said though, when they are going and

1:31:29

they got their lines cooking like last game,

1:31:31

expect a push. I just think Edmonton's too

1:31:33

much. And the fact that Skinner gets his

1:31:35

confidence after that shutout, I think

1:31:38

Edmonton's looking real good and the easiest path

1:31:40

to the conference final, I think of any

1:31:42

team. Because if they're going to get the winner of Nashville

1:31:45

Vancouver, they're going to dust them.

1:31:47

I think this is over at five and I think

1:31:49

the next one's over in five too. Pierre

1:31:52

Lebrun had a pretty good piece on

1:31:55

the Athletic about talking to former players

1:31:57

and staff about how to make it.

1:32:00

stop Edmonton's powerplay like he talked

1:32:02

to Bergeron tip for Ruby

1:32:04

key carbon was in there it's a

1:32:06

cool article basically they all said like

1:32:08

don't take penalties there's

1:32:12

no place to start oh

1:32:14

you try to maybe take away one option

1:32:16

oh they have four other ones so there's

1:32:18

no really stopping it that's the thing there's

1:32:20

no stopping that powerplay sorry

1:32:23

that's okay we're just live hey wait are

1:32:26

we gonna

1:32:30

get some spaces tonight are they planned

1:32:32

are we well here's the thing and

1:32:36

I really appreciate a lot of people have reached out

1:32:38

and said we like the spaces we like the spaces

1:32:41

well the game I did the spaces

1:32:43

they lost the only game they've

1:32:45

lost was the game I did spaces so

1:32:48

it's really hard for me to hop back

1:32:50

into it if it's five nothing after the

1:32:52

first period I'll do with spaces but I

1:32:54

can't really get invested in doing the spaces

1:32:56

until game one of the next round because

1:32:58

they're only lost I was doing spaces every

1:33:00

intermission and me and you

1:33:03

big cat were betting next goals that then helped

1:33:05

either glass banger should take a page of your

1:33:07

book having some he's

1:33:10

all he's taking a pages

1:33:12

we don't got our one series we know for the

1:34:32

second round so far Carolina New York We got a

1:34:34

little preview for you right now Carolina

1:34:36

is a minus 140 favorite that ranges a hundred

1:34:39

to make 120 playoff

1:34:41

history the Rangers beat Carolina back in the second round

1:34:43

of 2022 Carolina beat

1:34:45

the Rangers back in the qualifying round during the

1:34:47

bubble playoffs there Instant nugget

1:34:49

from Dan Rosen the lab you let coach the oh six

1:34:52

games that won the cup Rod Brinmore

1:34:54

was the captain it hadn't happened since 1947 that a series Beat

1:34:57

you to opposing coaches who want to come together like

1:34:59

that with the 30 least. Yeah

1:35:01

kind of wild stuff Yeah, I mean this is a

1:35:04

wicked even match I mean, this is playing out his

1:35:06

mind just start has been out of his mind as

1:35:08

well Murls, what do you first on

1:35:10

this one? Who do you like and why? Yeah,

1:35:14

oh this is gonna be a tough one

1:35:16

I mean, I've always really liked the Rangers

1:35:18

I called off them this year with Peter

1:35:20

LaVie a let but the other

1:35:22

day Peter Millar sponsored game notes and I

1:35:24

took Peter LaVie let's team the Rangers and

1:35:26

I won a bunch of money but

1:35:30

If you remember the Rangers, this is how I'm

1:35:33

gonna make my pick the Rangers Islander games all

1:35:35

season I know their Arrivalry, so it's a little

1:35:37

different but they were tight games Islanders probably had

1:35:39

their way with them at the end And we

1:35:42

saw what Carolina just did to the Islanders

1:35:45

that home crowd I

1:35:47

got it. I'm gonna take Carolina in the series and

1:35:49

I it's gonna be Seven

1:35:52

games, I'll give them at least seven games

1:35:54

though Carolina and seven too

1:35:56

many weapons too good a D They're just they

1:35:59

play harder. I feel Like then the Rangers are

1:36:01

a little stronger more playoff style and that

1:36:03

place is just rocking when they get going

1:36:06

Well, can I go? Not

1:36:09

because I'll argue all those points besides maybe

1:36:11

the D. I think I think the Carolina

1:36:13

has a better D I got

1:36:15

the Rangers in this series. I got them in

1:36:17

seven games. I think it's very evenly matched But

1:36:20

you're talking about Carolina's arena

1:36:22

MSG MSG in

1:36:24

the springtime after a first round flame

1:36:26

out last year. Oh That

1:36:29

place is gonna be on fire and the

1:36:32

biggest difference maker for me Igor

1:36:34

Shasturkin the guy has

1:36:36

been unstoppable since his early season

1:36:38

struggles It seems like all the

1:36:40

mojo and all the things in New York City

1:36:42

are coming again and the Knicks had a tough

1:36:45

loss I actually saw a stat that in 1994

1:36:48

the Rangers swept the first round and then the

1:36:50

Knicks were like up 3-1 and went to the

1:36:53

Finals like will it happen again? Well sure shit

1:36:55

the Knicks ended up losing last night I'm kind

1:36:57

of all over the map here, but I think

1:36:59

there's some 1994 magic

1:37:02

with this Rangers team I don't have them winning the

1:37:04

Stanley Cup But I have them winning this series

1:37:06

in a classic all-time closely fought

1:37:08

series back and forth where it's

1:37:11

1-1 after The games

1:37:13

in MSG it's 2-2 after the games in Carolina

1:37:15

And then maybe they go back and forth home

1:37:17

winners and a Rangers get it done at home

1:37:19

in game 7 Pro check

1:37:21

has a lot to play for not only

1:37:23

is he playing for the Stanley Cup Carolina

1:37:25

got rid of him I just think that

1:37:28

the Rangers and their goaltending will end up

1:37:30

being up on top But it's gonna be

1:37:32

unbelievable hockey and I'm on I'm on the rags There's

1:37:36

nasty. What do you have for us buddy? I

1:37:38

got the for reals. He's in six. Oh,

1:37:41

he's mushing you He's trying to mush you

1:37:43

Rangers fan. Oh No,

1:37:45

I know what I'm doing. I I agree

1:37:47

with you wit I think it's gonna come

1:37:49

down to goaltending I mean Anderson's been incredible,

1:37:51

but he's no Shasturkin I

1:37:54

don't think that Carolina faced

1:37:56

a back end in the first

1:37:58

round like they're about to witness in round

1:38:00

two, aside from the five mutants

1:38:02

they have who play strong in front of the

1:38:05

net, much like Florida did last year, where I

1:38:07

feel like the small Fords for Carolina are

1:38:09

not going to be able to get to the

1:38:11

net front into the paint like they were in

1:38:13

round one. They haven't dealt with a

1:38:16

defense when hey they had no adoption in round

1:38:18

one. Boys, he

1:38:20

ain't no Adam Fox. Adam Fox

1:38:22

is the modern-day Sergey Zubov. I think

1:38:24

he's gonna have a huge huge huge

1:38:27

component to this series, especially on special

1:38:29

teams in the power play, which I

1:38:31

think will flourish on what is typically

1:38:33

an unreal PK team in Carolina. And

1:38:35

the other thing too is Carolina plays

1:38:38

that man on man D. What

1:38:40

I saw as far as offensive's own

1:38:42

movement from the New York Rangers and

1:38:44

the pick plays and how they play,

1:38:46

they get that forward lost up top.

1:38:48

Sometimes you see them three across the

1:38:50

blue line. I think that

1:38:52

they're gonna create a lot of problems for

1:38:54

that man on man D and we're gonna

1:38:57

see a lot of breakdowns for the Carolina

1:38:59

Hurricanes. In which they're not going to be

1:39:01

able to adjust the Fuguezi's have turned into

1:39:03

the for realsies sure. What's his name? Their

1:39:05

goalie. Help me out here. So Sturkin

1:39:07

has found his game and I

1:39:10

think that they're gonna be a threat and I

1:39:12

have a little I have a little hot take or

1:39:15

a prediction. Not the craziest prediction. Jacob

1:39:17

Trubo will throw a hit in this

1:39:19

series where he's either suspended or people

1:39:21

are losing their mind that he was

1:39:23

going to crush someone and

1:39:27

there's gonna be the Internet of Blaze and

1:39:29

everyone's gonna be talking about another Truba truck

1:39:32

stick. He's the new Tom Wilson. Not

1:39:34

the craziest call I've ever made, but

1:39:36

he's going to be flying around trying

1:39:38

to kill guys on Carolina. He usually

1:39:41

does that so it's not nuts to

1:39:43

say. But this series, you're gonna see it.

1:39:45

You're gonna see it from him. Gee,

1:39:47

what do you have for us, buddy? Rangers

1:39:50

Carolina. I've been to a

1:39:52

playoff game at MSG and I've been to

1:39:54

a regular season game at the Hurricanes Arena

1:39:56

and I would say the Hurricanes Arena during

1:39:59

the regular season actually louder. I

1:40:01

think they have a significant home ice

1:40:04

advantage. So there's something about

1:40:06

this hurricanes team to this year where it just,

1:40:09

it just feels like their year. So I love

1:40:12

the hurricanes. I think the hurricanes do it in

1:40:14

six games. I'm not as

1:40:16

bullish on this Rangers team as much

1:40:18

as you guys are. Yeah. So, so

1:40:20

I like that. Why is that? I

1:40:23

just don't think they're built for a playoff

1:40:25

run. I just don't think like, like Merle's

1:40:27

has said before, like Adam Fox, number one

1:40:29

guy, he's incredible. Defensemen. You need some big

1:40:31

guys out there. They have Truba, they have

1:40:33

Ke'anjre Miller, but I've just never really

1:40:36

been sold on the Rangers either. Just like, I don't

1:40:38

think they're top six as good as people make it

1:40:40

out to be. Mika's a binajade. He plays for four

1:40:42

games. He's the best player on the ice. He disappears

1:40:45

for five games. You never see him again. So yeah,

1:40:47

that's kind of where I stand. Okay.

1:40:50

All right. I got a, I agree with GX. I got

1:40:52

Carolina in six as well. I think I same, same logic.

1:40:54

I just felt the lack of a better term. They do.

1:40:56

I mean, they've been beating up this door for a while

1:40:58

now. A couple of what do you call it?

1:41:00

Conference finals. They couldn't get to get past and Gensil

1:41:03

and what's his name there? Ah, it's cause that's

1:41:05

off. Those are huge pickups. We just saw the

1:41:07

last game with the effect they had. Yeah. I

1:41:09

got Carolina in six as well. Wouldn't surprise me

1:41:11

at all. Here's my prediction for the

1:41:13

series. RA is that there's going

1:41:15

to be a controversial call and we're going

1:41:17

to see an iconic Rob Brindemore press conference

1:41:20

with him losing his mind. He has been

1:41:22

called calm as a cue. He was calm,

1:41:24

right? It's boiling up. It's boiling up. It's

1:41:27

sizzling, baby. It's like a volcano. It's ready

1:41:29

to erupt. We need to have you there.

1:41:31

Biz for that press. I make sure you

1:41:33

have the first question. You're going to see

1:41:36

the vein in his forehead popping out and

1:41:38

he's going to say something to get himself fine

1:41:40

and they're going to get fucking hosed because of

1:41:42

course the Rangers are going to get whatever they

1:41:45

want because they're one of the original six. I'm

1:41:49

telling you what's going to happen. That's

1:41:51

my prediction. You mentioned Brindemore and there

1:41:53

was an article in the score today

1:41:55

about Brindemore and he apparently is very

1:41:58

unsure about his future in Carolina. Here's

1:42:00

the quote confidence say he's become unsure

1:42:03

about his future in Carolina according to

1:42:05

a source familiar with those conversations Via

1:42:08

the news and observers Luke DeCock You

1:42:10

don't think Ronnie Francis is gonna get

1:42:12

ownership in Seattle to throw the bag

1:42:14

at Rob Bryndam or oh well Perfect

1:42:16

segue biz One more

1:42:19

thing Gensil He's always kind of owned

1:42:21

the Rangers first ever goal first ever

1:42:23

game first ever shot against the Rangers

1:42:25

playoffs as the Penguins played Um, so

1:42:27

that is a scary player. Every team

1:42:29

has their killer against those arrangers killer

1:42:31

But I still got the Rangers go ahead

1:42:33

over to Seattle and have no get in

1:42:36

the axe All right. Yeah three seasons that

1:42:38

included a surprise that two series player front

1:42:40

in year two Seattle cracking a fired head

1:42:42

coach Dave Hacksdall He went 107 112 and

1:42:44

27 is three years Emily

1:42:47

Kaplan from ESPN reported that in player

1:42:50

exit meetings a lot of plays indicated

1:42:52

They didn't want to play from anymore

1:42:54

refused to play for anyone. That's some

1:42:56

little surprising here I'm talking someone not talking

1:42:58

what I can tell you that Ron Francis did not

1:43:00

want to make this move They've hacked all is now

1:43:02

one of four coaches who lost their jobs this cycle

1:43:04

who didn't even have their extension But

1:43:07

I was told that the exit meeting just players

1:43:09

There was a handful of players and pretty significant

1:43:11

players who made it clear to management I don't

1:43:14

want to play on this team in the future

1:43:16

and Dan Haxel is still the coach and that

1:43:18

Forced them to make a change Paul McFarland an

1:43:20

assistant also didn't have his contract renewed That

1:43:24

Wow that is a damning Report

1:43:27

by Emily Kaplan good reporting. I

1:43:31

The craziest part of that for

1:43:33

me is that four coaches have

1:43:35

signed extensions and then been fired

1:43:38

before the extension What the fuck

1:43:40

good again that that isn't yeah,

1:43:42

no shit. All right. Oh

1:43:44

my How is that happen?

1:43:46

How are you that sure of giving a

1:43:48

guy an extension? We love you as our

1:43:50

coach and then gassing him before the thing

1:43:52

even starts biz Well, I when

1:43:54

we had the Denver coach on Carl. He said

1:43:56

he goes the turnover in the NHL right now

1:43:59

as far as coaches is crazy.

1:44:02

It seems so fickle where all of a sudden

1:44:04

a couple players who aren't happy with the head

1:44:06

coach all of a sudden he's gone like that's

1:44:09

crazy. My wheels started spinning like I'm

1:44:12

drawing a blank on their first line center who had a

1:44:14

tough year. McCann? No.

1:44:17

Benier? Benier? Who could have the type

1:44:19

of impact where he walked in a

1:44:22

meeting to say like and I'm not

1:44:24

speculating either but like for

1:44:26

guys to go in and say they can't

1:44:28

play for this head coach after I felt

1:44:30

that they've established a pretty good culture over

1:44:32

the past couple seasons and even

1:44:34

from when the cameras were in the locker room

1:44:36

when they were at the winter classic it felt

1:44:38

like he had a good sense of the locker

1:44:40

room and it seemed like the guys loved playing

1:44:42

for him and clearly things fizzled out towards the

1:44:44

back half of the season but

1:44:46

I guess it goes back to when he was

1:44:49

at the Flyers it seems like he brought in

1:44:51

that college style of coaching where he's a little

1:44:53

hard on the players and when you treat them

1:44:55

a certain way it works

1:44:58

at one level where it won't work at

1:45:00

the next and maybe that rubbed off on

1:45:02

the players eventually to where they're saying hey

1:45:04

peace out we don't want you as a

1:45:06

head coach anymore but very surprising given the

1:45:08

fact that they went to the second round

1:45:10

last year after knocking up the

1:45:13

defending Stanley Cup champions and then yeah obviously

1:45:15

not the same season they have but they

1:45:17

also dealt with a crazy amount of injuries

1:45:19

and a tough Western Conference. So

1:45:22

when your first side center puts in what Maddie

1:45:24

Benieres where you have 15 goals this year it's

1:45:27

going to be tough to win in the National Hockey

1:45:29

League and make playoffs so I don't think all the

1:45:31

onus is on hack stall I was

1:45:33

shocked to hear these reports and shocked at

1:45:35

the fact that he ended up getting canned

1:45:37

but that's the that's the new NHL for

1:45:39

you guys. That's probably one part of the

1:45:41

new NHL I'm like kind

1:45:44

of like wait players can just go in now

1:45:46

and be like I'm not playing unless

1:45:49

I get gas. Imagine Ron

1:45:51

Francis when he played the

1:45:53

game how coaches treated players at times

1:45:56

not saying it was always correct but

1:45:58

that is a new NHL. NHL move right there

1:46:01

like I'm done. I don't want to play

1:46:03

for this guy He he had to he

1:46:05

better have been miserable to people and

1:46:07

an absolute prick If you're

1:46:09

going in and you're just basically like I don't

1:46:11

want to play like Terry and was hard as

1:46:13

shit on me I never even considered saying that

1:46:16

now great I don't have pole with teams I

1:46:18

was on but I wouldn't even have gone through

1:46:20

my head to be like fire this guy I'm

1:46:22

done Yeah, I

1:46:24

wonder what's like the how many players like a GM has

1:46:26

to hear from to like to consider whole shit I mean,

1:46:28

I can't bring this guy back cuz you know, obviously he's

1:46:30

not gonna call these guys bluff I mean guys say I'm

1:46:32

not gonna play. I mean when they go send them the

1:46:34

miners or whatever It's what I wonder what the parameters are

1:46:36

there? What what player do you

1:46:38

think could walk in to have a type of

1:46:41

impact where if they said that I would say

1:46:43

turbo? on

1:46:45

Lawson Debly Larson

1:46:49

Beneers like who else could go in

1:46:51

there and say that where they're actually I'm

1:46:54

thinking I'm just thinking of like solid

1:46:56

for Eberly and I'm just we're listing

1:46:58

all their key players Yeah, Bjork

1:47:00

Strand, but like none of them they're all

1:47:02

they're an expansion team. None of them are

1:47:05

significant players. They're all cast off Beneers,

1:47:07

maybe he's the top pick. He's like their one

1:47:10

guy. Yeah I

1:47:12

think it's all smoke and mirrors because he's getting

1:47:14

given Roddy Brindham or eight times eight or so

1:47:17

That's what I was kind of getting to was

1:47:19

who would be able to say that to it

1:47:21

to have an impact and Beneers played a second

1:47:23

year all these other guys that ain't like they're

1:47:25

like gonna be there for the next 10 12

1:47:27

years They're all

1:47:29

gonna come up in ears biz and like meeting him

1:47:32

when we interviewed him. I would

1:47:34

be shocked Exactly if that kid went in

1:47:36

and said that I just don't picture that

1:47:41

College he knows the college system like that's

1:47:43

another college coach. He's used to that Yeah,

1:47:47

plus he's a young guy I don't think a young

1:47:49

guy like that's gonna sound say that type of stuff

1:47:51

probably the little gunshot at this point Yeah, I bet

1:47:53

it was all veterans. But either way he's

1:47:55

gone. They'll be looking for a new coach We

1:47:57

do have some finalists to announce The

1:48:00

Calder Finals, no surprise here. Connor Bedard, Brock

1:48:03

Faber, who you'll be hearing from soon on

1:48:05

this broadcast, is Luke Hughes with

1:48:07

no surprise, Bedard's gonna win it, right? I mean,

1:48:10

it is pretty, yeah, from a favor hat.

1:48:12

Nobody said it was Bowie who fucking ratted out

1:48:14

Haxdal. Yeah.

1:48:19

Bowie wouldn't mask off for Haxdal anymore.

1:48:22

Here's the thing about the Calder trophy is I

1:48:24

think a lot of people figured Bedard would

1:48:26

get it. Nobody considered to end up being

1:48:28

as close of a race with a lot

1:48:30

of people thinking Faber deserves it more. He

1:48:32

was right there. He was that good. So

1:48:35

many other years that guy's taken down

1:48:37

rookie of the year honors. It just

1:48:39

happened to be with this generational unicorn

1:48:42

talent coming in and exceeding

1:48:45

expectations that were already incredibly

1:48:47

high. So Bedard's the winner

1:48:50

and Faber's like your 1B. He

1:48:52

was awesome this year. So the finalists though

1:48:55

made total sense to me. Yeah,

1:48:57

no surprise there. We had the Norris

1:48:59

finalists announced as well. Biz, we got

1:49:01

Quinn Hughes, Roman Yossi and

1:49:04

Kael McCobb. Basically the highest scored offensive defenseman

1:49:06

out there. It's no longer about defense and

1:49:08

well, we say that all the time, but

1:49:10

who you giving it to Biz? Well, these

1:49:12

guys do it all, right? I

1:49:15

would say that Yossi. What

1:49:17

do you mean? Do they do it? Do they do it all? Did

1:49:20

he block the shot last night? Oh, for fuck's sake.

1:49:22

Did he clear the front of the net last night?

1:49:25

They do a lot. They do a lot. You know,

1:49:27

they do most of it. I

1:49:30

think the best defense in the world is

1:49:32

easily Kael McCar. I think that based on

1:49:34

a full body of work this season and

1:49:37

how valuable he was to his team, I think

1:49:39

that Quinn Hughes is going to win it. Me

1:49:42

too. I think that you any... I

1:49:44

honestly think that if

1:49:47

you interviewed all 32 GMs, McCar

1:49:51

would beat out McDavid as far as

1:49:53

What? GMs would select which player first.

1:49:55

Overall, based on the impact and ice

1:49:57

time they can play in a game.

1:50:00

And of course, age being

1:50:02

a factor. I. Think

1:50:04

that to I like it. I

1:50:06

did kill my car should win

1:50:08

it. I think Quinn use well

1:50:11

based on Canadian media getting more

1:50:13

votes in voting on our first

1:50:15

overall. As the South's gonna go and I'm

1:50:17

okay with can use of actually winning one of them. but

1:50:19

I think by the time it's all said Don Kelly Carson

1:50:21

to have four or five and he's going to go down

1:50:23

as the greatest The Fats When of all thought. Jack.

1:50:26

When different, a lot more bizarre. shiver Abrams.

1:50:28

Did you get touched by Vancouver at some

1:50:30

point? Never tell us what on just? I

1:50:32

mean it just keeps happening. It just sits

1:50:34

is happening. For me, it's just popping up.

1:50:37

gang great show. Hopefully I everybody

1:52:14

enjoyed it. We'll see you next Monday

1:52:16

for the next Version of spitting

1:52:18

chiclets here people say I'm smoking crack

1:52:20

as I said, McCarroll end up being

1:52:22

better than Bobby or now It's

1:52:25

a Bobby or I can't believe I didn't

1:52:27

fight that I I went like this Yeah,

1:52:30

or or even Lydstrom. I think Lydstrom got

1:52:32

what do you have seven or eight Norris's? Yeah,

1:52:35

but but watching

1:52:38

Kale McCar he's clearly visibly

1:52:40

more dominant than what Lydstrom

1:52:42

was Lydstrom did it What

1:52:46

do you mean? Fuck me, bro Watching

1:52:49

the game you don't think that he's got more

1:52:51

than he is a more dynamic Skater

1:52:53

buddy for 20 fucking years

1:52:56

Nick Lydstrom didn't get beat didn't get

1:52:58

hit didn't make mistakes Didn't turn the

1:53:00

puck over I'm not saying Kale McCar

1:53:02

isn't on track to become one of

1:53:05

the top three if not Maybe the

1:53:07

best defense whenever but you

1:53:09

can't say just because Lydstrom didn't fly

1:53:11

around with the offensive explosion Skating

1:53:13

stride McCar has that he wasn't as dominant.

1:53:16

I Would

1:53:18

say that high-end Kale McCar is

1:53:20

better than high-end Nick Lydstrom Let's

1:53:24

put it to a vote G I

1:53:27

Seem to lose these arguments to you quite

1:53:29

a bit Nick Lydstrom was my favorite player

1:53:32

my hero growing up So I'm just like

1:53:34

kind of like I'm an

1:53:36

actor right now, but Nick Lydstrom was different

1:53:38

It didn't look the same way, but it

1:53:40

was dominance. Yeah, I understand And he also

1:53:43

they also had a an unreal

1:53:45

team with seven Hall or famous for

1:53:47

a long time in a non-tap era

1:53:49

So he was also surrounded by a

1:53:51

lot of greatness as well not to

1:53:53

say that McCar hasn't been But

1:53:56

I would just say if McCar is able To

1:53:58

sustain what he's done the last. Two three

1:54:00

seasons. And. Keep going like. Every

1:54:03

time he breaks it a stop using

1:54:05

the same category as Bobby Orr. Like

1:54:08

I behind the fastest to fetch with

1:54:10

a two hundred and fifty points was

1:54:13

any or second behind Bob. Your papers,

1:54:15

Watch your offense To Bob Yours defense.

1:54:17

I think that he's Six Seasons. He.

1:54:20

Was forty or more points greater

1:54:22

than the next defenseman? And.

1:54:24

In one of the seasons, he was

1:54:26

seventy points more than next defenseman. blow

1:54:28

himself what he did to revolutionize the

1:54:31

position and how much greater he was

1:54:33

for those eight. So it's a

1:54:35

eight to ten years for from a

1:54:37

long jeopardy perspective and where I think

1:54:40

will be are extremely long career for

1:54:42

tail my carr and watching a night

1:54:44

in night out in today's Nhl. Given.

1:54:46

That the the level playing field of how

1:54:49

good players are and the fact that he's

1:54:51

able to do what he did against the

1:54:53

Winnipeg Jets like take it below the goal

1:54:55

line and go And M likes Lidstrom roads

1:54:57

it really dominating the game offensively. The way

1:54:59

to kill the car. As as you could

1:55:02

say, But. He

1:55:04

was able to walk the line with his

1:55:06

head off and filter shots through with great

1:55:09

speeds. I'm a great plays off pensively, but

1:55:11

let's not sit here and say that high

1:55:13

and op eds of Mccarthy is not as

1:55:15

good as Nick Lidstrom Hi ads. I didn't

1:55:18

I say that? But I was about to

1:55:20

say like defensively like. I

1:55:23

agree. Like Mccarthy Credible? yeah, but for

1:55:25

users to immediately say after what five

1:55:27

seasons that like, he's better than Lidstrom.

1:55:29

I I think that's a little crush

1:55:31

on of Keys on a trajectory to

1:55:33

be better in my opinion. Just like

1:55:36

I said, awesome. Matthews's on a trajectory.

1:55:38

It's to be the greatest goal scorer

1:55:40

of all times. And he's Tommy And

1:55:42

all these records from us a game

1:55:44

and goals perspective right now? He's on

1:55:46

create Soldier so would you say based

1:55:48

on the that dynamic. Aspect of

1:55:50

Mccars to I'm of yeah because it's so

1:55:53

dynamic. somebody stealing and how he looks when

1:55:55

you're watching the game. Is. Mcdavid

1:55:57

better than Gretzky. I

1:56:01

would say, uh, I, do you

1:56:04

know what I mean by that? Where like, you

1:56:06

know, watching skate, like it's different. No,

1:56:08

no, no. I would say no,

1:56:10

because at the time period Gretzky compared

1:56:12

to his peers were just that much

1:56:14

better. Like I said, the high end,

1:56:17

like Bobby or, but we're also talking

1:56:19

about like that. I mean, buddy,

1:56:21

like you're talking about a guy who has more

1:56:23

assist than the next player has points here. So

1:56:25

we're talking a little bit apples and oranges. And

1:56:28

also the fact that Gretzky was able to do it

1:56:30

for as long as he did. Bobby

1:56:33

or was limited to the amount of years he

1:56:35

played due to injury, but going

1:56:37

back to the Lindstrom argument, I would

1:56:40

say, if you looked at high end

1:56:42

offense, my car is greater and more

1:56:44

impactful defensively, I would

1:56:47

say, let's say it's a wash because if

1:56:49

you watch my car play and how fast

1:56:51

he is, and I would say that he

1:56:53

plays a little bit more physical than Lindstrom

1:56:55

did, I would say he probably wins net

1:56:57

front battles a little bit more than Lindstrom

1:57:00

did. Uh, I've given physical, I will not

1:57:02

say net front battle. Okay. From a neurological

1:57:04

perspective, I would say that they're even in

1:57:06

how smart they were and how they process

1:57:08

the game. I would say

1:57:10

that from an overall perspective and how

1:57:12

much he shines more than his peers,

1:57:15

I would give it to my car. And

1:57:18

I think he's done a trajectory to be better

1:57:20

than him. And I think if he can sustain

1:57:22

what he's been doing so far in his first,

1:57:25

what? Six seasons that he will be better than

1:57:27

Bobby or based on a full body of work.

1:57:29

So I'll leave it at that. And to the

1:57:31

people in the chat saying I'm smoking crack, I've

1:57:33

said my piece. And

1:57:36

you smoked it. I

1:57:38

did. No, I 100%. No,

1:57:41

you made great points. I

1:57:43

think it's just like Lindstrom just did it

1:57:45

for so long that yes, there's arguments to

1:57:47

be made, but you just gotta

1:57:50

let it breathe for like, I think

1:57:52

Macar would have to do this for like 12 more

1:57:54

years. Dude, like

1:57:56

let's have did it 20 and I think you will. And

1:58:00

he could. I think he will. Nice

1:58:03

little discussion at the end of the show. Game

1:58:05

notes coming to you Friday. Chickens will be back

1:58:07

next week. Great hockey in store

1:58:09

tonight and the rest of the week. Love all you guys.

1:58:12

Love you. I do. Chickens, he's

1:58:14

a big girl. Ain't

1:58:23

you a big bitch? You're so

1:58:25

dumb. I

1:58:30

don't know what to say. I don't

1:58:32

know what to say. He's

1:58:38

a big girl. But

1:59:14

I said I'd be missing

1:59:17

you when I was a child. He's

1:59:22

a big girl. I won't be worried

1:59:24

if he was a little girl. I

1:59:30

don't know what to say. She's

1:59:33

a big girl. I know

1:59:35

what she's got. She's a

1:59:37

big girl. She's a big

1:59:39

girl. She's a big one.

1:59:44

She's a big girl. It's

2:00:01

the classic creamy orangey flavor you remember.

2:00:03

Dare I say, it's new timey. It's

2:00:05

the flavor you grew up with, just

2:00:07

all grown up. Head over to your

2:00:09

local Wendy's establishment and get yours while

2:00:11

supplies last. The new Orange Dreamsicle

2:00:13

Frosty. Here for the now, for now.
