get our man that we work our way

11:57

towards where we are now. Or let's do

11:59

right now. You have the pics Jesse Yeah

12:01

let me I give me a second to

12:03

bring it up. Am very excited about this

12:05

because ah one of us who got eight

12:07

Hour Eight and West was that? Yes I

12:09

did get it either Eight The West. Okay

12:11

and. The. Orders and not great

12:13

relative to Sue how we normally do

12:16

with these. This. Was a pretty

12:18

successful year for us from what I understand.

12:21

It depends how you judge my. Dearest.

12:24

Got there. We get the playoff teams. I think you

12:26

and I we did six or eight in a in

12:29

the west and six at a nice. Jesse got six

12:31

at a nice. It's a that eight and west. I

12:33

think that's pretty good and it's like okay. You and

12:35

I got the majority of the playoff teams. I.

12:38

Deserve some flak for having the

12:40

second seed be not a playoffs.

12:43

Well. But. Let's go over. we go

12:45

through them oil that know it's and I You're right,

12:47

order matters yeah but you gotta remember the mindset we

12:50

were in. Before. The season start. To

12:52

not, I am logic behind all of

12:54

them. Sir, I didn't. I. Didn't

12:56

we? One thing I know number out on of a

12:58

wrap my back was the metropolitan. Thought.

13:01

It would help. It was as bad as everybody expected

13:03

it to be with the exception of two teams in

13:05

in fact I probably should or a to the Rangers

13:07

higher. And naturally the hottest team heading

13:10

into these playoffs. You guessed it, the

13:12

New York Islanders. Yes well as a

13:14

three thousand and one are I'd so

13:16

I you We got a set out

13:18

to people what the first one is

13:20

inside a J Money who was like

13:22

this. Big fan of Cj, Cell and

13:24

Big Family Sep it's a sad day.

13:26

Money put together this fantastic graphic of

13:28

of our picks for each divisions of

13:30

your son of a Civics and also

13:32

read started on discords who put together

13:34

the google docs which we go through

13:36

as well that show like or. Average deviation

13:38

from the actual stamp. How can we go through

13:41

these and then I'll pull that up so we

13:43

can see like how well within me of national

13:45

standing. Sorry sir, we did. Well Holy smoke. Pacific

13:47

Division the math. So I wanted to say that.

13:49

Tell the people see who are your pets from

13:51

one to eight. I have been good either. The

13:54

Oilers winning the division. Which I mean I don't

13:56

think I was alone there. In fact, I know

13:58

I wasn't alone there. There's Adam. Our

14:00

biggest number to take barely

14:03

squawks in. Ah, I'm the

14:05

Calgary Flames as the three

14:07

seed. What's the L A

14:09

Kings as the for? I

14:12

think I nailed arm but

14:14

I have the cracks him

14:16

ahead of the conducts. Oh

14:19

and all three of us

14:21

had the Sharks seven and

14:23

the Ducks eight. I'm I.

14:25

I'll forgive us for. I

14:28

mean who cares if they we knew they were both

14:30

can be bad. We nailed that. Yup, And

14:33

and so I mean, I don't

14:35

think anybody could have predicted the

14:37

sharks being. Ah, I'm. As.

14:39

Historically bad as they were right off the bat. Zero

14:42

nine and one I believe was there start. It was

14:44

not. I don't think anybody can predict a team being

14:46

that bad because at the end of the day it

14:48

is the Nhl. But Jessie Ware what lit we bring

14:50

that grad effort He was asked by your that? Okay

14:53

so I had the Oilers winning the division. Ah,

14:55

Which I felt good about himself in the

14:57

division. Ah, the Golden Knights coming second l

14:59

a Kings third, which I got. I had

15:01

to crack and rated higher. And. I

15:04

was stupid Tuesday or on off like

15:06

a really strong season in which is and

15:08

play on. Nobody I had, nobody had.

15:11

A great year for them. They all had an average

15:13

year. You know what I'm saying like nobody was like

15:15

oh my god somebody broke out, got a hundred points

15:17

they all had like you know their their career average

15:19

supports. It's not like I haven't number, almost like a

15:22

light version of the stars. This year. With.

15:24

The Sars is your better but like just a

15:26

by committee team I'll tell you where I screwed

15:28

up. I screwed up by

15:30

putting any face in the Calgary Flames and

15:33

organization. I had them in fifth and that's

15:35

that's too much faith or and that I

15:37

had the van. Vancouver Canucks Six Just like

15:39

Stephen, The reason I had them six is

15:42

because they were essentially the same team. Like.

15:45

With what was different but they do we can access your. When.

15:48

I asked for that. So

15:50

wrong. It. right? There all your

15:52

house isn't a her own well with opera.

15:54

Healthy demo of the depth of. And.

15:57

Also when he used as a step. Abs.

16:00

The loot Li Patterson was my even though you

16:02

think he's bad Patterson was like test me Vancouver

16:04

Management. And. Ah, they had air.

16:06

They had an unbelievable yeah I you know,

16:08

I think the most underrated part of the

16:10

Vancouver Canucks is forty goal Brock Besser. Yeah.

16:13

Yeah we have time to look cooked up

16:15

yet air that's and look at that. However

16:17

some people talk about him be about i'm

16:19

like. A. Reasonable. The same brought Besser.

16:22

Yeah so I think the most embarrassing thing

16:24

for Stephen for myself as is the Vancouver

16:26

Canucks Jesse Less embarrassing I go ahead success

16:28

on my picks pre season I'd Vegas Edmunds

16:31

in L A Vancouver as the top four

16:33

in the division Seattle, Calgary, San Jose in

16:35

Anaheim and add of you hit on at

16:38

their the thing I want to such as

16:40

I'm most proud of my Vancouver path because

16:42

I saw what they did last season once

16:44

rec talking got in there they were one

16:47

of the best teams in the if it

16:49

as an awfully good. And nobody really

16:51

trusted it but I said they're playing a

16:53

different brand of hockey and I think it's

16:55

a brand of hockey that's gonna work and

16:57

it ended up working this regular season I

16:59

had them and forth a may jumped all

17:01

the way the second in all I could

17:04

even fourth was and are under production so

17:06

I think that's gray I think l ne

17:08

this tunnel like solid where we thought they

17:10

be and I'm I'm shocked when you guys

17:12

had so much faith in Calgary Flames. I

17:14

dunno. I they weren't very good. The

17:16

end of the way you can a allies

17:18

Vancouver Canucks is is where they they weren't

17:21

good and what did they do to get

17:23

better? That's how I felt about the flames.

17:25

It all ends with them. There was even

17:27

more lack of evidence that they would be

17:30

good so I them down Insects May ended

17:32

up finishing tied for fifth and six with

17:34

the Seattle Wrath and but that broke the

17:36

tie breaker so they added obsessed my my

17:39

Flames picks his even stranger now having them

17:41

third because I'm like nah Marks I'm gonna

17:43

be way better. And. Then he

17:45

was and they were worse. ah

17:48

I don't ever want to call

17:50

that. Am having a huge comeback

17:52

of them being worse like ah

17:55

I. I. Barely even feel bad about

17:57

that one. Yeah, and it was. It started bad and

17:59

it. Was bad the whole your for them

18:01

so digest the on those facts. Not bad.

18:03

Next year when you remember Vegas doesn't care

18:05

about the regular season yeah they are playoff

18:07

team or next stop central Steve you I

18:10

could get off. To. I

18:12

did Alright here is no. I'm number

18:14

one the Dallas Stars. Number.

18:16

To the Colorado Avalanche not

18:18

quite. There were Number three,

18:20

Minnesota. that's a bridge or

18:22

hiccup they were for they

18:24

were not very good. I

18:26

have them. Third, Winnipeg Jets

18:28

force one spot down from

18:30

another. Be finished second x

18:32

or above the oh dear

18:34

about oh number Five, I

18:36

was the most bullish out

18:38

of all of us on

18:40

the Arizona Coyotes. I'm. I.

18:44

Didn't account on them losing like was

18:46

sixteen straight. Yeah, that stress in the

18:48

winter months. dirty right up fine Galaxy

18:50

or it all out spot like one

18:52

around Christmas and and then they just

18:55

kind of died. St. Louis Blues roughly

18:57

where they were Nashville Predators. That's a

18:59

huge whiff when I know just he's

19:01

gonna be all over the successor and

19:03

alone. Let me, I feel so good

19:06

about that right now. So good And

19:08

are all three of us had? Ah,

19:10

the Blackhawks last Hooray for us! They

19:12

have no. Players Yeah,

19:16

They I mean why? But then he literally before the

19:18

season began and nowhere so they are what? And then

19:20

they got Corey Perry and them. Bbc left so they

19:23

have fewer players So I mean only one that didn't

19:25

get the division winner right? I had more faith in

19:27

the Colorado Avalanche of what we found out throughout

19:29

the season. Is. That they are more

19:31

of a one line team and Dallas has

19:33

really emerged as and they had their struggles

19:36

right. Dallas had some goaltending issues earlier on

19:38

this year. Sort all that out, they are

19:40

top to bottom a spectacular team. And

19:42

would be my pick next year to win the

19:45

division. This is my favorite little bit of a

19:47

trivia for these. Plus how many players on the

19:49

Dell stars out of her? Fifty points? Ninety. Nine.

19:52

And who would call the I know they're more

19:55

free flowing and they ever used to be. but

19:57

holy Laos Nine Brady Jason Robertson led the team

19:59

with a. The which is like a

20:01

lower total are spread out mom

20:03

and spread out crazy their leader

20:05

I glad or. Only. Have thirty

20:08

two Goals was why it's johnston. Like.

20:11

Date: They're just really solid. I don't know

20:13

where you hide so I had the Avs

20:15

winning I had Dallas and second are men

20:17

are former I'm from now I'll be honest

20:19

with you. I. Was tainted for a couple

20:21

reasons and Minnesota. First off, I was so impressed

20:23

by what they did last year. Second, they included

20:25

me in their playoff sizzle reel and thought. I

20:29

had to give them some love guys. I

20:31

was completely biased and they were in the

20:33

playoff race until the end. But no. Ah,

20:35

and then the Winnipeg Jets man who could

20:37

have accounted. For. I follow

20:39

and velocity not. Listen. To

20:41

their. Good players. They're great players, but

20:43

who knew they were going to fit

20:46

when a piglet. There's. I gave

20:48

one. They come in and I know Velocity

20:50

was injured for a little bit. Ah, to

20:52

start the or police Both of them have

20:54

been like amazing fit. I was bullish on

20:56

that trade from the day it happened and

20:59

even that though like the I mean the

21:01

bread and butter for the Winnipeg Jets is

21:03

known to squirm. Yes. so even though they

21:05

got better off handsomely, no bloody score on

21:07

them about the province of least. so we

21:09

all had them and forth. But they did

21:12

mix last month. put some. I put St.

21:14

Louis incest because I thought there was gonna

21:16

be a big improvement. From them and on.

21:18

A big believer in when Armstrong's doing next and

21:20

there was and people were dancing on this post.

21:22

But the St. Louis Blues had ten more points

21:24

this year than they did last year. And.

21:27

Good. Only one of us who got this right if

21:29

you now they are behind us confess that I decided

21:31

to hide. I think that the St. Louis Blues are

21:33

headed back to the playoffs next year. Now I. Counted.

21:36

out the nashville predators and i had them

21:38

in seventh below for the freaking coyote and

21:40

wow which is brutal by the way i

21:43

always take was making me sweat now with

21:45

serious from coyotes fans earlier this you're gonna

21:47

we're gonna make the playoffs you're screwed out

21:49

of course didn't happen least not have them

21:51

much to spot full of a time when

21:54

i did what i had an the blackhawks

21:56

oh you know where they should be tested

21:58

or other or just rubber

22:00

nose. I didn't say this last division but credit

22:02

to Adam who also nailed the Calgary pick. Like

22:05

he was bullish on Calgary but they ended

22:07

up finishing fifth. Exactly where I thought they would be. You

22:09

did kind of nail it there. Anyways,

22:11

Nashville. My division picks

22:13

were Dallas, I got that

22:15

right, Colorado got that right,

22:17

Nashville incorrect. But not bad. I

22:20

just need to flip Nashville and Winnipeg and it

22:22

would have been four for four but I had

22:24

Nashville in third. No, Winnipeg was second. Winnipeg

22:27

was second? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they

22:29

finished second. I didn't get Colorado right. You

22:32

got the top four, you just messed up the order. Exactly.

22:35

I had Dallas, Colorado, Nashville, Winnipeg

22:37

and then out of the playoffs

22:39

I had Minnesota, St. Louis, Arizona,

22:42

Chicago. And with Nashville, I wish

22:44

I went back and watched the season preview for

22:46

Nashville because I think the thing that made me

22:48

so bullish was that it was the

22:50

thing you kind of brought up with Dallas

22:52

is their overall just competence and depth scoring.

22:54

The thing they lacked was high-end talent

22:57

which they still kind of do but the way

22:59

they're able to do it as a committee, I

23:01

was like, they can get this done and with

23:03

UC Saros and Net, they can stop enough pucks

23:05

and the defense is really good. It looks really

23:07

good pre-season. Everything kind of worked out there. So

23:09

I'm very happy I believed in Nashville Predators and

23:11

they came through for me. Man, did you ever.

23:13

That was a really good call, Jesse. I remember

23:16

being shocked when you said that pick and

23:18

it was spectacular. Really great pick. The one thing I want

23:20

to say is what's it going to look like when we

23:22

have the Utah Venom or the Utah

23:24

Blizzard or the Utah HC. Venom's

23:27

my favorite. So the hockey guy,

23:30

Shannon, I love Shannon. Shannon was talking

23:32

about names and somebody threw out the

23:34

Utah Miners because miners. Nope. And

23:37

he said, you know what? We can't have

23:39

a game where the Utah Miners go

23:41

up against Nashville Predators. No! And

23:44

it's miners versus predators. That's funny.

23:47

I'm so hilarious. It's a good line. Good

23:50

line. Good job, Shannon. One

23:52

of the nicest people, by the way, on the

23:54

face of the earth. I love Shannon. Such a

23:56

good guy. Okay. See you. Alright,

23:59

so. Most surprising performance

24:01

on Nashville. 75 points, 23

24:03

goals. Who am I talking about? Go

24:08

ahead. Go ahead. You have

24:10

an answer in your head. Who is it? It's

24:12

not Ryan O'Reilly. No, it's not. He finished fourth behind

24:14

this person. Wow, I don't know. Gustav friggin Nyquist.

24:16

I know. The guy called him from... Where

24:18

did that come from? I know. Well,

24:21

I'm sure Columbus is wondering that. Because

24:23

like... Everyone who's ever

24:25

employed him to play hockey for them. He's

24:28

never cracked 60. Yeah. His

24:31

career high was 54. Wasn't that

24:33

with Detroit? And he did it... With

24:35

Detroit in 2015. Where

24:38

did this come from? Unreal.

24:40

Yeah. Unreal. The

24:43

power of you two. You gotta believe. It's a

24:45

beautiful day. It's a beautiful day.

24:47

Steve, you're up. Beautiful day. Oh,

24:49

this is painful. Umm... Oh, Adam. Oh,

24:52

no. Okay.

24:55

I had the Carolina Hurricanes first

24:58

in the Mid-Trapolitan. I was only one

25:00

spot off. I had

25:02

the Devil's second. Ugh! I

25:05

had the Rangers third. We all did. What's

25:07

wrong with us? I had the

25:09

Islanders fourth. I nailed that one,

25:11

right? No, they were third. Damn! Third,

25:14

yeah. Penguin's fifth. Nope. Didn't

25:17

nail that one either. The Capitals sixth. The

25:20

Blue Jackets seventh. And the Flyers eighth.

25:22

Boy, this division... I didn't get a single one,

25:24

did I? Oh, shit! I

25:27

didn't get a single one either. Maybe not. Where

25:29

are the Penguins? Where are the Penguins? Below

25:31

the Capitals. No, we all got fifth. We all

25:33

got fifth. The Penguins were fifth. No, you got

25:35

Penguins. Yeah, you nailed it. Really? Yeah, the Penguins

25:37

were fifth in the division. Yep. Oh,

25:40

the Capitals were fourth. Oh. Oh, alright.

25:43

Hooray. No,

25:46

I mean, Carolina, that's a pretty good

25:48

pick, right? They finished real close to

25:50

first. Rangers,

25:53

I always thought was good. I

25:56

did not think would be this good. And

25:58

The New Jersey Devils, like... I

26:01

don't know. I thought they would

26:03

score more goals to injuries really

26:06

early in the season completely sunk

26:08

them. Jax use was. On.

26:10

Pace for like of run away Art

26:12

Ross trophy through like what a month

26:14

isn't bird like Two weeks three weeks

26:16

people were paying to see him play

26:19

it at V. absolutely were arm and

26:21

dodgy. Hamilton. So you have your best

26:23

forward plane injured all season and you

26:25

have your best defenseman not playing. Be

26:27

a little kill. Also I had no

26:29

gold. Let's throw their to that is

26:31

that. Yeah, they're goaltending is just a

26:33

drug out. Just it's if they had

26:36

normal goaltending they'd probably be in the

26:38

Plaza Hamilton. Yeah I'm I think of.

26:40

A team deserves their flowers here like we

26:42

all thought the Flyers would be. Just miserable

26:45

engine and it's succumb until the final game

26:47

of the season to get eliminated. To.

26:49

Me: that. They. Have been a system

26:51

they? it was really. Yep. And. As

26:54

ah Adam, take it away there, Bud. So

26:56

The Metropolitan. I had the Devil's in first

26:58

and you know, I'm a long time Devils

27:00

fan, so perhaps I'm a bit biased, but

27:02

how could you not see if there's anybody

27:04

that's looking at last season could remember all

27:06

we had to go on with the previous

27:09

year. The. Devil's were looking like

27:11

they this was a lot of Zero

27:13

Zero. Yeah, they were gonna be spectacular.

27:15

Yeah, I was gonna be erased with

27:17

Carolina Hurricanes which is why, But the

27:19

Carolina Hurricanes. And second, which I nailed

27:21

by the way says mom I think

27:23

that there is no. Sane.

27:26

Person. Could. Have done like

27:28

nobody you could take seriously would have said

27:30

the Devils are missing the playoffs this year

27:32

To start the you. Know. Nobody someone

27:34

did and didn't get a bunch of crap

27:36

for the I'm sure they did and and

27:38

rightfully so. we should get crap for that.

27:40

Because you're you're. at this point your desk.

27:43

Ah, And this is all this is So yeah

27:45

the New Jersey one, Carolina to Rangers third said it

27:47

should have put more stock and as I'm happy with

27:49

my letters pick even though they've ended up in just

27:51

finishing fourth because they were letting me down all bloody

27:53

year and then on That and I told you guys

27:55

are like there's no way the pain would make the

27:58

playoffs. they may be sweat their towards the end. And

28:00

I didn't thank goodness. But I had

28:03

years that agreed is one eyed Columbus

28:05

ahead of both Washington in Philadelphia. Don't

28:07

apologize to those cities because Columbus was

28:09

atrocious this year. and I should have

28:11

been smarter because the Babcock situation. Should.

28:14

It should have been vote though. The

28:16

warning shot the this is a poorly

28:18

run organization and it is. I'm really

28:20

surprised I had the Blue Jackets seventh

28:22

because we were I've we seem pretty

28:24

unanimous that know yards and improved him.

28:26

It sure seemed that way. What out

28:28

televised I go ahead Jesse I went.

28:31

Carolina, New Jersey, New

28:33

York, Islanders, Penguins, Columbus Taps,

28:35

Flyers and I think my to you

28:37

and I agreed on every pet except

28:39

flip the blue jackets and capitals, Adam

28:41

and Eyes Pixar the exact same stories

28:43

rape knowing I think it's going into

28:45

next season By the remember if my

28:47

pics of the same as Adams Adidas

28:49

which had as much as the I

28:51

have I shouldn't have a drag the

28:53

New Jersey Koolaid so much that you

28:55

should always be wary of the young

28:57

team off coming off of their their

28:59

hearts that the first the up you

29:01

know like I feel like a fourth

29:03

pro sports. It's like if you need s

29:06

dallas yourself and you do it and then

29:08

we can believe in you for a long

29:10

term period. So I wish I had New

29:12

York. I'm a lot higher in the division

29:15

there and that's how that up plan outsell

29:17

Armed with some lessons here for next year.

29:19

Also Flyers yeah as as he said like

29:21

credit to them we all had dominates the

29:23

almost made the playoffs. that is unbelievable task.

29:26

I'm that they accomplish their in Philadelphia saya

29:28

like amazing but oh I think the Flyers

29:30

are going to finish last. Okay what if

29:32

I told you Carter heart. Is is

29:34

gonna really super abruptly stopped playing games

29:37

with. oh they're going to finish below

29:39

last and and you know they made

29:41

a they made a game. Have gotten

29:43

a last day of the regular season

29:46

almost as well. The up for respect

29:48

to the flies or else move on

29:50

of the Atlantic were all three families

29:52

winning. Steve, go through your picks out,

29:54

know our beliefs first. I'm. Ass.

29:58

Like we all thought what they were missing. Was

30:00

toughness and then they added it and her.

30:04

They. Still did well. I'm.

30:06

It just seems like they can't do

30:08

the best. There was that

30:10

Canadian division that's a one off. It's

30:12

a made up division the doesn't exist

30:14

anymore who their sabers. Spoil.

30:17

Boy, I really thought Teach Thompson

30:19

was gonna continue the magic. I

30:21

thought their defense was gonna take

30:24

another step and I invested way

30:26

way way too much stock in

30:28

Devon Levi. Ah, it's it. You

30:31

know goalies aren't build a belts

30:33

overnight. Ah, I'm I mean

30:35

they target real slow with him and

30:38

they should have this problem should have

30:40

taken it even slower so that I

30:42

messed that up. The Bruins third, they've

30:44

been a second. Ah,

30:46

You. Know what? I wasn't bad their

30:48

the Lightning. Fourth, I think I nailed

30:51

that one. Yes, you did. Ah be

30:53

all that. are it good for us

30:55

Panthers Fifth, we with ah mah three.

30:57

We thought they would return to the

30:59

regular season team they were last year.

31:02

Nope, they were a lot closer to

31:04

the playoff team that they were sense

31:06

in Six. Ah, I'm

31:08

it's funny. I think we all agreed

31:10

they were better. But.

31:13

Just wouldn't given their flowers.

31:15

The real. I. Mean a

31:17

big with here. If. I had

31:19

only swapped of the redwings and Sabres.

31:21

Maybe I would have looked somewhat smart

31:24

know I wouldn't have that. Still terrible

31:26

and the Habs in last place. Ah,

31:28

I'm pretty sure that who finished? Yes, Yep,

31:31

yeah. Reminiscent of Ottawa up the yeah, yeah

31:33

yeah, I had more years or so bad

31:35

with the Atlantic. What? I sister's room for

31:37

improvement. So I picked the Leafs. I got

31:39

A, I picked the Bruins second, Sabres third.

31:41

Now our I got the Sabres for second.

31:44

Everybody just like New Jersey bought on the

31:47

Sabres and again, as Jesse said, let me

31:49

be careful with the young upstart team itself,

31:51

a sudden doing really well. Although I do

31:53

think next year they figure out that goaltending

31:56

Byron, ah and Dolly, you've learned nothing. nada

32:00

Brian, they have so much... If Tage Thompson

32:02

doesn't go down early and Steve doesn't trade him

32:04

for a bag of pucks It

32:06

is, you know, like if Tage Thompson's a 40

32:08

goal score, I feel like we're having a different

32:10

conversation. The Lightning, they are where they

32:12

were, they finished fourth, good for them. I

32:15

actually think the Lightning are better now and

32:17

the reason I had them in fourth was

32:19

because of Vasilevsky's injury. Turned out to be

32:21

right. Florida, I didn't take as serious as

32:23

I should have. I got bullied

32:25

on Ottawa. I'll be honest with you. I

32:28

thought Ottawa was worse, but

32:31

I started to drink the Kool-Aid

32:33

and go, you know what? No, maybe they

32:36

are better. Maybe they are right about Eunice

32:38

Corpocello. Maybe they do have it together. New

32:40

owner coming in, the vibes are great because

32:42

the vibes were great. And

32:44

then they were docked that first round pick and

32:46

Pinto got suspended and Dorian got

32:48

fired and the coach that they love so much that

32:50

they love playing for so much they were like,

32:52

we're not gonna play good for you. And

32:55

they got him fired. I

32:57

will not be buying high on Ottawa stock

32:59

next season. I can tell you that them

33:01

finishing two points up on the

33:03

Montreal Canadiens after this year is a joke. They

33:06

got to give their heads a shake. The Montreal Canadiens deserve

33:09

a ton of credit for how they played this year. The

33:11

Ottawa Senators do not and I was not a big

33:13

fan of Detroit, but neither were you two, so I

33:16

don't feel sad. I just want

33:18

to do one more thing on the Sabres. This

33:21

will kill you, right? Tage Thompson 71

33:23

games down from 78, 29 goals down from 47, 27

33:29

assists down from 47, 56 points down from 94. That's

33:35

a killer. You're dead. Brutal. You're

33:38

dead. I don't think I analyzed

33:40

the Atlantic Division preseason very

33:42

well. I had Leafs, Sabres,

33:44

Bruins, Lightning, Panthers, Sens,

33:47

Canadians, Red Wings. And as right

33:49

as I was about the National

33:51

Predators, that's how as wrong I

33:54

was about the Detroit Red Wings.

33:57

If they just had a little bit

33:59

better goaltending, If they didn't completely collapse as

34:01

Dylan Larkin went out like this team should

34:03

have been in the playoffs Yeah, they should

34:05

have had that second wild card spot And

34:07

I think um, I looked

34:09

at their offseason acquisitions and Aizerman who

34:12

It looked like he was trying to go for it But

34:15

I don't think he went for in the right ways I

34:17

didn't believe in the team at all and I if if

34:19

like Husso isn't below 900 and Reimer

34:21

and Lyon are just like Mediocre like the team is

34:23

a lot better and I think next going into next

34:25

year I'm going to be a lot higher on the

34:28

red wings and I learned my lesson there But here

34:30

here will be my question to you guys in

34:32

October when we do these again, which is Do

34:35

you? Buy the high

34:37

end of the sabers more than you buy the high

34:39

end of the red wings And I

34:41

buy the high end of the sabers Yeah more than I buy

34:43

the high end of the red wings. The question is which team

34:45

shows up And the red wing showed

34:48

up this year sabers had a rough year But I

34:50

buy where the sabers are going more than I buy

34:53

as We saw a playoff this season

34:56

Even if those teams play like really well

34:58

and they're exceptional and they're all their young

35:01

stars show up It still wasn't

35:03

enough to supplant the four teams that

35:05

we have. Yeah My

35:07

question that my response to that would be even

35:09

if they even if the high end of those

35:11

teams show up Is that enough to surpass? Uh,

35:14

toronto boston florida tampa. No, i'm barring

35:17

some crazy injuries I

35:19

don't like new jersey devils type injuries. I don't think

35:21

so. I don't know. We'll see what

35:23

happens this summer though. Yeah Could

35:25

be a big big big summer. Well, see what are

35:27

your thoughts? Oh, i'm just i'm fascinated by it uh,

35:30

you know, I was listening to some shows in the car and

35:33

I feel like What one

35:35

of the I I don't know if this question has been

35:37

answered. Um So

35:40

utah Do they get to keep

35:42

all the draft picks? Yes, what

35:44

do you mean? Yeah, no, okay. No, i'm

35:46

i'm just making sure okay Sorry,

35:49

nothing about this situation is straightforward. Right?

35:51

Right. Um The

35:54

coyotes like needed all that desperately.

35:56

I think these guys are

35:58

gonna be spending those like drunken sailors I

36:01

think they want to bring a winning team fire in

36:03

those things around I think I

36:05

think it's It's not

36:07

gonna be your typical Expansion offseason.

36:10

I think that's a real Was

36:14

it fly in the ointment? Well who's gonna be the

36:16

cap dump team now? Right.

36:18

I mean it could still be them I don't

36:20

think no one plays for them look at this

36:23

Pierre Lebron just got off the phone with Utah

36:25

owner Ryan Smith And he said updated total is

36:27

now at 20,000 season ticket deposits

36:29

This is for an arena that right now will

36:31

be between 11 and 12,000 I

36:34

was like wait and in a couple of years they're gonna get up

36:36

to 14,000 And I think there's an Olympic

36:38

bid in a new arena on the way from

36:40

the Delta Center. So Obviously,

36:42

they're gonna do a few upgrades and renovations, but it's

36:45

gonna be a few years, but it's not a perfect

36:47

situation in Utah No, it's not but I think if

36:49

he's gonna be smart and I think he is He's

36:52

gonna want to do the bill fully which

36:54

is be competitive immediately. I know

36:57

I mean yeah, I just don't think You

37:01

know had the coyotes not existed had this not

37:03

had this very unique situation not existed I don't

37:06

think Utah would be getting a team right now.

37:08

No, I think they don't or maybe ever you

37:10

well I think they'd be years away from it,

37:12

but the NHL would be like we like you

37:15

as an owner. That's great people like hockey here

37:17

That's great. Do you have an arena? No? Then

37:21

why are we having this conversation? Yeah, you

37:23

know, I think they would have prioritized There's

37:25

a lot of chatter out of Houston. No one's paying

37:28

attention. But right now in the Houston Newspapers

37:31

there is there is chatter about the NHL And

37:34

there have been several reports. I think Houston

37:36

is a real hot market and

37:39

Atlanta I think those are the two clearly

37:41

Atlanta. There's like three bidders already for it,

37:43

right? I Mean tell

37:45

me how if we were expanding the normal

37:47

way not moving a franchise How

37:50

Utah would beat either of those two markets? They

37:52

wouldn't I don't think in terms of priority They just

37:54

wouldn't flat out and it's nothing against Utah. It's

37:56

gonna be an exciting time there. It's scale I also

37:58

think exactly I also think this This guy, Ryan

38:00

Smith, is, he's out to,

38:03

when I saw an interview with him yesterday,

38:05

he's like, what an opportunity you get to do

38:07

this in your career, like he is jacked

38:09

to have this team. He's excited, and I think

38:11

that is gonna be cool because maybe he

38:13

forces the management group to go, okay, you've compiled

38:15

all these draft picks, there's no way we

38:17

can use them all. There's no,

38:20

you can't have that many prospects in your system,

38:22

what can we get? Where we're supposed to do the

38:24

coyote segment because I had one last thing with the,

38:26

oh, the preseason. Oh, do the, oh, oh. Yeah, no,

38:28

no, we were just chatting about the coyotes, we're not

38:30

doing a segment. Okay, last thing from Red Shark

38:33

Pack who also compiled these standings, they

38:35

did a average deviation of perfect

38:38

picks and most underperforming, most overperforming

38:40

from our preseason picks. So

38:42

if we wanna take a look here, Steve

38:45

had the worst average deviation of the picks

38:47

at 1.688, Adam came in second, 1.625, and

38:52

Grav and I, who did his picks in August.

38:55

Good for him. Which is like, credit

38:57

to you for nailing in August. We

38:59

tied in our average deviation of where

39:02

the teams actually finished at 1.438. I

39:06

had seven perfect picks, Grav had 10, Adam

39:09

had nine, Steve had five. And

39:11

look at the most underperforming teams,

39:14

all of us, all four of us

39:16

were the Devils, three of the four

39:18

of us were the Canucks. Yep, so

39:20

this is, and then lastly, best

39:23

division prediction, I had the central,

39:25

my average deviation was only 0.75 and

39:28

worst division prediction was Grav, Metro

39:31

predictions who were 2.25. Wow.

39:34

Yeah, that's not great, Grav. These are, this

39:36

is some of the, my favorite stuff we do on this podcast every year,

39:38

I look forward to it every year, so I

39:41

can't wait till next preseason when we get to be

39:43

wrong again. Cause this is very hard to do. Oh

39:45

man, oh man. I can wait. You're

39:49

not excited. I can do it. It's

39:51

funny that there

39:53

are a lot of people in hockey, in media that hate

39:55

doing these, cause they're like, oh, I don't wanna be wrong.

39:58

I Don't know why you worry about that. The whole point

40:00

of it is being wrong. That's. The most Fun!

40:02

Hey I picked this because of this boy. That was

40:05

stupid. Boy. I boy had a

40:07

nice added see this coming. Isn't that the

40:09

fun? Not a fun for me as being

40:11

40:25

of a sudden. I

40:28

them as an adult. Yeah? Did you collect

44:42

cards? I did. I had a bunch of

44:44

baseball cards. That was my thing and I

44:54

45:16

Do you want to get the bracket? Okay, yeah.

45:18

Alright, gentlemen, we're gonna do our

45:20

playoff brackets right here, right now. Oh,

45:23

damn, I really wish I had a left.

45:25

Oh, no, I'll show you mine. We're just

45:27

gonna, we're gonna, we're not gonna like lock

45:29

them in. You'll have to lock them in

45:31

on your own later. I'm not signing you

45:33

into the NHL website. I've already shot my

45:35

bracket video. Okay. Producer Drew and it

45:38

took me until one in the morning. We're gonna start

45:40

in the Western Conference which, and

45:42

I'm gonna work my way up. The LA

45:44

Kings and Edmonton Oilers have meet, are going

45:46

to meet in the first round for the

45:48

third time in three years. Edmonton has won

45:51

both times. Starting

45:53

with you, Steve, what do

45:55

you think about this particular matchup? Who you

45:57

taking? Don't go too long because we have our

45:59

playoff predictions. I know You

46:02

know what Kings are a good team Oilers

46:04

are better or others and six Jesse Yeah,

46:07

I'm also gonna pick the Oilers even though like

46:09

I want to believe in the Kings I don't

46:11

I think it's gonna be three in a row.

46:14

Yeah, how many games do you give it? Oh,

46:16

uh Seven you

46:18

have a seven step I'm saying five and

46:21

the reason I'm saying five is because I think

46:23

that Bank or Vancouver I think Edmonton is better

46:25

this year than they were last year Unquestionably

46:28

better they play a style that fits them better

46:30

and I think the the Kings are a little

46:32

bit worse I think that

46:34

you know Like I'm specifically pointing

46:36

out. This is a little unfair and we'll talk about

46:38

this in our previews Pure Luke

46:40

DuBois it all you don't have in in

46:43

I a follow and Velarde now and

46:46

Jersey's not there not that he was a crazy part of

46:48

their defense You're not part. I mean he was a part

46:50

of it and he's played really well in Arizona There's been

46:52

some some that that trade itself

46:55

like the Jersey trade Which was the preamble

46:57

to the pure Luke DuBois trade really

46:59

had an effect so much of it comes down to

47:01

what version of pure Luke DuBois shows up It

47:05

when murder becomes legal in

47:07

the playoffs that is to his advantage Like

47:10

there's a world where they could just staple in

47:12

the cross Crosby to

47:14

Connor McDavid and make his life

47:16

held and that makes the series

47:19

interesting If an unmotivated

47:21

DuBois shows up, they're dead Vancouver

47:24

Nashville What do we think? Nashville

47:27

who had a really surprising run especially the back

47:29

half of the year. They were spectacular Yeah, Vancouver

47:31

even more surprising because they were good the whole

47:34

year. Yeah, and that's that's why

47:36

I got the Canucks win in this series Too

47:39

many people have it in their head like Oh Nashville's

47:41

hot Nashville's hot. They're they're coming into the playoffs hot

47:44

This is actually I think the coldest

47:46

series One team

47:48

has five wins in their last ten the other has

47:50

four Nashville's the

47:52

one with four Neither

47:54

team is going into the playoffs playing their best

47:57

hockey So

47:59

tiebreaker goes to the team who's been

48:01

good this whole time, I'm gonna go with the Canucks in

48:03

six. Jesse Blake, I've

48:06

rode them the entire season and I'm not

48:08

gonna hop off the train now, I'm gonna

48:10

go with Nashville. Woo! Whoa! How

48:13

many games? Seven.

48:19

Seven games. No, six.

48:22

Nashville in six. Okay, now I am, as I

48:24

told you, I'm streaming these Canucks games and it's

48:27

not just because I have an anti- Nashville bias,

48:29

which I do. You

48:32

hate country music. I hate country music. And carry

48:34

under one. Whose bed have your boots been under?

48:36

Not this bed, because I don't put stuff under

48:38

my bed, I'm a clean person. Whoa. More

48:41

like Nashville zero SC, because they're

48:44

the only zero I see. I

48:48

don't know what that made sense. You're

48:50

the only 10 I see. Oh. You

48:52

know what I mean? Stop it. It was a

48:54

very good one. Vancouver, I'm gonna give, I think

48:56

Vancouver's gonna win this series ultimately, I don't think

48:58

it's gonna be easy though. And the reason I

49:01

say that is, Nashville has a

49:03

team of players that have consistently been to

49:05

the playoffs. And

49:07

Nashville is a team that consistently goes to the

49:09

playoffs. There is something about

49:11

playoff hockey, isn't there? And there are a

49:13

lot of players on the Vancouver Canucks that have

49:16

never seen a playoff game. Quinn Hughes, Pederson, these

49:18

are guys. Some of these guys did in the

49:20

bubble. Oh, in the bubble, but come on. But

49:22

it's different. Come on, it's a little different, right?

49:24

It's a lot different. Yeah. And

49:27

so. It'll be fascinating. I'm a big believer in

49:29

the Vancouver Canucks. I think they get it done in six. That's

49:32

my, Winnipeg, Colorado. What a

49:34

matchup. What a

49:37

matchup. And Winnipeg with home ice too.

49:39

Winnipeg with home ice, the coldest team

49:42

coming into these playoffs is shockingly the Colorado Avalanche.

49:44

Three wins in their final 10. I think it

49:46

was three, five, and two. So we gotta move

49:48

a little quicker than we have it. And I'm

49:50

hoping that. What do you pick?

49:52

Jets in six. Jesse. Yeah,

49:55

we got whole previews. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, we have to do 10 minute

49:57

previews. Jets in. Jetson

50:00

7. Jetson 7, I'm going Jetson

50:02

6 as well. Go Connor Hellebok. And the

50:04

last one and the most interesting car crash

50:06

of the first round because that's what it

50:09

all is, Dallas, Vegas. How is Vegas

50:11

a wild card team? Well they don't care. And by

50:13

the way, a whole bunch of

50:15

reinforcements coming back including Thomas Hurdle. Looks

50:18

like Mark Stone will be fully ready to go. Like

50:20

everybody's going to be ready. In

50:22

Dallas, the D stands for disrespect. They're

50:24

going to teach everyone Dallas and 7.

50:27

Jesse Blake in Vegas, the

50:30

V stands for very good. Vegas

50:32

and 6. You're picking that over your guy, Hottinger?

50:34

You're picking him? Oh yeah, no, I'm picking

50:36

the Stanley Cup champions. Damn. The

50:40

biggest, you talk about D-core, the biggest

50:42

D-core in the National Hockey League. Let's take

50:44

it up. Yeah. Post-season

50:46

hockey. Here's the problem I have. This

50:50

one's a war. I think it goes 7. And

50:54

I'm going to give the... I'm

50:57

going with Dallas. Hey. I'm going with

50:59

Dallas. Dallas and 7. You want to be

51:01

on Adam's side? Welcome to the

51:03

D-Hive. Yeah, D-Hive. Yeah. Matty doesn't like

51:05

that. Oh, why not? He

51:07

doesn't like the D-Hive. Oh yeah. Very

51:09

good though. Very good though. I'm

51:12

excited for game one, Predators, Miners, next year.

51:14

No. Okay. Carolina

51:17

and New York as in

51:19

the Islanders, a series

51:21

of two Pokemon saying Harden. Harden.

51:24

What do we think? Real quick. Producer

51:27

Drew has not forgiven me for putting this in

51:29

the group chat. Isles and 7. I

51:33

don't know. The amount of games always screws me. Isles

51:35

and 6. What? Wow.

51:39

Wow. I also think the Islanders... No way. That means

51:41

we're going to be wrong. I know. Well,

51:43

is it always me? Is it because it's me? No,

51:45

whenever the three of us agree on something, I'm like,

51:48

no way. I'm

51:50

stunned. I'm stunned I'm it. You know why?

51:52

I can't believe you guys. I know because

51:55

Freddie Anderson's hot, but if Freddie gets injured

51:58

And he's had else issues, there's a big... Problem

52:00

at that's my X factor is islanders have

52:02

to greg all it's innards falling flat. Ah,

52:04

yesterday we did the video for the Sword

52:07

and we'd made our picks out on a

52:09

wider shocked. Oh. Really yes, I

52:11

did you forget we dell out yesterday house

52:13

today, the guy going I got you daves

52:15

I was on holiday is yeah, six week.

52:19

Oh remember that forty eight hours ago I sat next

52:21

to you? Is that the Islanders going to win though?

52:23

That was said. you said the out and I'm Rick

52:26

James I weeks ago mother I can't remember what I

52:28

said but I'm sayin Islanders today that's how I did.

52:30

You pick you pick the hurricane deny the I've set

52:32

the hurricanes the that's what I mean heard some and

52:34

pick burger Iraq on our which was what if I

52:37

get our goal caroline about them. I also think that

52:39

I'm gonna have a still worried. About the goaltending

52:41

us out of rats are being right:

52:43

New York Washington. I'm

52:45

I mean I'm a lot of change my

52:48

mind you are I might is my pick

52:50

from now to saturn and now idea. I

52:52

won't. I assume it's integrity

52:54

of plus the New York

52:57

Rangers are ridiculous. The capitals

52:59

smokes in. They

53:01

weren't even could like down the

53:03

final ten games Rangers, ah. Is.

53:06

This a for let's say to support all I

53:08

think it's really hard to do that in this

53:10

league Also flies. Ridges. And

53:13

Jesse. Raises and for ah yeah,

53:15

have been extremely disrespectful to the Washington Capitals.

53:17

Am I hope that idol have a lot

53:19

of echo my face by the time or

53:21

the series is overflights? Ah, Rangers. And for

53:24

New York New York maybe I'm glad somebody

53:26

got some balls because I don't Rangers in

53:28

size. Ah, I do think Washington's fields one.

53:31

Ah, just because, but I it's it's if

53:33

there's a sweep to be had, this is

53:35

the one that seems most likely as of

53:37

now. Okay, let's go the floor

53:39

double. The. Florida man. Ah,

53:42

we got Tampa, we got Sunrise and we

53:44

got a series. I'm so excited for these

53:46

two teams to place. ah, sort obviously won

53:48

the division. Tampa one the first wild card

53:51

spot. It's not wilde, it's just the seven

53:53

see. But anyway, what do we think about

53:55

this series? Gonna be a war? Panthers.

53:58

Lightning. I just want you know I. you

54:00

both. I hope the series goes seven.

54:02

Ultimately, Panthers. Jesse,

54:06

let's not forget that one team here went

54:08

to three straight cups, one two of them.

54:10

Tampa Bay Lightning in six. I

54:12

say Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games and

54:14

I'm most looking forward to Nikita Kucharov doing

54:16

something about Bennett, Cousins and Kicha. You know

54:18

what's funny? I'm pretty sure you picked Florida

54:20

in the video. I picked Florida. Well, I

54:22

mean Florida. What I meant is, no, I

54:24

did pick Florida, didn't I? Yeah,

54:27

you're hedging your best. You know what's great? Is that when

54:29

you wake up and you feel differently about things. I'll

54:31

go with whatever I picked in the video. No, no,

54:33

no. This is like, we haven't gotten to

54:36

the playoffs yet. You don't have to lock in your

54:38

picks. What do you want? Which one

54:40

do you want? Are Tampa too

54:42

old, guys? Is Tampa too old? Is

54:44

Tampa too old? To take

54:46

this kind of beating? Because it's going to be brutal. They're

54:49

going to target Hedman so bad. It's going seven.

54:53

Yeah, and Hedman's going to be very

54:55

sore. Fine, I'll go with my original pick Florida. Why?

54:59

Were you telling me to speed it up? No, sir, you're right. Why

55:01

are you picking Florida? Well, because I picked it

55:03

in the video and I should be. No, I

55:06

don't know. You have to stick to that if

55:08

you don't want to. How I'm feeling this morning

55:10

is I'm like. This is going to sound weird.

55:12

I want Kucharov to freaking deal with these guys

55:14

like the maniac that he is. But

55:16

I don't know that that's going to be entirely

55:19

possible. When he harnesses it, he's the best player

55:21

in the league. When he doesn't, he's a detriment

55:23

to his team. Like people

55:25

forget that Columbus series. He gave up.

55:28

He gave up in the series and filled his

55:30

diaper to the brim and got suspended during

55:32

winnable games where they could. He did that in All-Star too.

55:35

Yep. Okay, as you gain in

55:37

for more information, I think you're allowed to change

55:39

your pick from Wednesday to today. So what is

55:41

your official pick? Going

55:45

younger? Florida Panthers. Okay, Boston, Toronto.

55:49

What do we think? I'm

55:52

not even doing this for the memes. I hate

55:55

that I'm doing this. I want to be wrong

55:57

very bad. Boston in seven. I'm

56:00

just gonna make you laugh. You bastard. Why

56:02

are you so shocked? The

56:05

Leafs didn't beat them this year. Jesse.

56:08

We'll get into it in the

56:10

actual preview, but people are

56:12

underrating how poorly Leafs played down the stretch.

56:16

But Leafs and some. Yeah!

56:19

You know what? Not what you have in your

56:21

actual bracket. I could see it. No, let me click. There

56:23

you go. You sink! You

56:25

liar! You liar! He just changed

56:27

it! I said leave! I said

56:29

leave! I said leave Devin! I

56:32

was... See, now you're quick to

56:34

think through it. I didn't do the full bracket

56:37

yet. I'm still working through this. I'm moving things

56:39

around. Here guys, I'd win it back in the

56:41

final. Here garbage. Guys, Leafs in six. Well,

56:44

in six! The last time the Leafs and

56:46

Bruins played in the playoffs was five

56:48

years ago. Yeah. Five

56:51

years ago. If you're carrying the scars around,

56:53

me too, I get it. But at the end

56:55

of the day, these are men now. And

56:58

I told you, this is the most consequential set of

57:00

games that Matthews era will play. They're aware of it.

57:02

They're gonna do something about it. Leafs

57:04

in six. Who was the last

57:06

Leaf to score a series-clenching goal

57:08

in Toronto? Because that's what they would

57:10

have to do. Uh, Yannick

57:12

Perot. I have no clue. Joe

57:15

Neuenweig. Oh. It was

57:17

a long time ago. Oh, you said in

57:19

Toronto. In Toronto. JT's was in Tampa. Alright.

57:21

Hey, this show is sponsored by BetterHelp. And

57:23

listen, it's playoff season. And

57:27

you know, maybe it's actually technically not playoff

57:29

season. This is the, this is

57:31

the weird week before playoff season where

57:33

players go down and get injured and

57:36

get sad. This isn't the ride. This

57:38

is the line before the ride,

57:40

which I always thought is worse. That is, it

57:42

is. Especially way worse. Especially if you need a

57:44

little bit of a pick me up. And listen,

57:46

it's been a long winter. The economy's tough or,

57:49

you know, sometimes it's just like I'm sad and

57:51

I'm a fan. Could be that too. For

57:54

whatever reason you need therapy, we want you to

57:56

58:27

do some end of season trivia, Jesse. What do you got

58:29

there? Yes, give me a second to pull it up here.

58:31

I will not. Be ready. Sorry.

58:34

Sorry about the flip-flopping on the pic, man. Some

58:36

of these series are really close. Like, what are you

58:38

gonna say? I don't apologize. And I think it's entirely

58:40

fair for you to change your mind. No, not on

58:42

Twitter, it's not. I don't think

58:44

you need to stick to what

58:46

you picked from Wednesday to today,

58:49

if I'm being honest. Yeah, well.

58:54

Yeah, well, he's got a point. I don't know. This

58:56

is, the playoffs are always so hard, because again,

58:58

it's like one injury can change. Okay, let's imagine

59:01

Nathan McKinnon twists his ankle and

59:04

is unable to play. That series is over,

59:07

right? You know, like that, and that's

59:09

the shit that happens, right? And I just, I don't know.

59:12

Jets in four, and by that I

59:14

mean the abs chance to win gets

59:16

better, because it's the playoffs, and

59:19

shit's weird. Shit's

59:21

weird. Yeah, and the way that, you'll see it

59:23

too, the way that the games are ref from

59:25

game one to like game four, it changes so

59:27

significantly, and stays at the game

59:29

four level the rest of the playoffs, but they

59:31

almost warm them into it. But for game one,

59:33

tight games, always tightly called, and then they

59:35

start to loosen up the strings a little bit. I'm

59:38

curious about how that's gonna go this year.

59:40

All right, so how would you guys like

59:42

this to work? I assume, don't look over

59:44

here. Dude, I can't see. That's okay, don't

59:46

look, don't. I saw the bright logos, I

59:49

can't read. How

59:51

would you guys like to combine your heads on this

59:53

trivia? So we're doing, so the

59:55

first category is, who finished in the

59:57

top 10 in hits? guys

1:00:00

want to try his name off. Let's

1:00:02

work together. So you give me, it'll

1:00:04

be faster, ten players and

1:00:06

every point is somebody

1:00:09

within the top ten, right? I think Luke Chen. Well,

1:00:12

I think Luke Chen's teammate broke

1:00:14

the hit record, Jeremy Lozon. Oh,

1:00:17

okay, there's one. Okay, or

1:00:19

Jesse, or... Yeah, go ahead, we can

1:00:23

start. Oh, the Isles, the Isles twins.

1:00:26

Yeah. If Clutterbuck and Martin...

1:00:28

Well, whoever score keeps for the

1:00:30

Islanders too, because their hits are always super high.

1:00:32

So Clutterbuck and Martin, there's two picks. Let's

1:00:35

go with Luke Chen. Yeah, he's

1:00:37

always in the top ten. He's always there. Was

1:00:40

there not one for the Leafs? Was it McCabe,

1:00:42

not in there? Oh, did some of them

1:00:44

play enough games? I think

1:00:47

Ben Wall had more hits per game. Okay.

1:00:50

But I don't know if

1:00:52

he played enough. So far you have Lozon,

1:00:54

Clutterbuck, Martin and Chen. Are

1:00:56

those all right? No, that's

1:00:58

what you're submitting. Oh, you stink. He's

1:01:02

still competitive and tries

1:01:04

to downplay. Radko Goudis?

1:01:06

That's a really

1:01:09

good... Okay, Goudis, because he's a maniac

1:01:11

and also the ducks never had the

1:01:13

puck. That's right. You know

1:01:15

what? We're thinking, we're looking at good

1:01:18

teams. We got to stop that. Yeah, Goudis, I

1:01:20

think he's got to be in there. Okay. Are

1:01:22

we putting him on that list? Oh yeah.

1:01:25

Okay. Goudis. Radko? Yeah. Who

1:01:29

played a shitload of hockey? Zach

1:01:31

Warenski did, but I don't really think he... I'm

1:01:34

gonna start putting a time limit. Yeah, we gotta

1:01:36

go quick. You're the worst. Okay.

1:01:39

Company from Florida, Panthers. Simone Benoit. Kulikov,

1:01:44

I don't know. I'll say

1:01:46

if you get... Ryan Lombard. There you go. If you get

1:01:48

50%, that is a

1:01:50

point. Okay. Ryan Lombard. Brady Kachuk.

1:01:52

Yep. And what's that put us

1:01:55

at? So you got

1:01:57

Lozon, Clutterbuck, Martin, Chen, Goudis,

1:01:59

Benoit. Lombard Kachocki need two more

1:02:03

Defensemen from the Sens I Guess

1:02:06

1:02:12

it. Yeah. Okay. Go David Savard one more

1:02:19

Jake Trubit. Oh good one.

need one more. He's a bandajet. Is a bandajet?

1:04:43

Yeah, he had like 26 goals or something like that. He

1:04:47

should have way more. Okay. Let's see.

1:04:51

Your selections are Pasta,

1:04:53

Yep. Sammer, Yes.

1:04:57

Matthews, Yes. Jay-Z

five. Damn. Yeah, yeah. Raddling

1:05:14

out the top ten, Kaprizov, Rantinen, Forsberg,

1:05:16

Troczyk, and Dylan Gunther. Hmm, Dylan

1:05:19

Gunther. I thought McDavid

1:05:21

would have been a free square. It should have been.

1:05:23

I thought you would have went Matthews McDavid Pasta. Should

1:05:26

have done that. I just always imagined when McDavid shoots

1:05:28

that it goes in. Yeah, I've

1:05:30

never seen a miss. Yeah. They,

1:05:32

uh, Matthews led it with 15. Wyatt

1:05:35

Johnson, McDavid, and Pasta all had 13.

1:05:38

Wyatt Johnson was second even though he had

1:05:40

fucking 32 goals. Oh

1:05:42

shit. That's crazy. That's a really good player, man.

1:05:45

Yeah. Matthews had three OT winners. That's

1:05:48

funny. Yep. Alright.

1:05:50

Next up we have, Yeah. Let's

1:05:53

see, next trivia on the, Time on Ice. Time

1:05:56

on Ice. Okay. Aaron

1:05:59

P Hordstein was talking about Jack Warenski being

1:06:01

a big minute eater. So let's go there.

1:06:03

Okay, we're gonna do once again I want

1:06:05

three of the top five and they got

1:06:07

to be playing like 25 minutes You know

1:06:09

what? No two of the top five. Oh,

1:06:11

wow with these guys It's that's how not

1:06:14

obvious it thought like a Quinn Hughes would

1:06:16

be in there. I think you guys gonna

1:06:18

fuck this up Wow,

1:06:21

he's challenging us I got no faith in the base

1:06:23

of now this is God I got no faith Charlie

1:06:27

McAvoy, okay, I'll tell you why he's the

1:06:29

number one defenseman on the Bruins and they

1:06:31

led the league in overtime Okay, so Charlie

1:06:33

McAvoy and who were the other who's the

1:06:35

other I might even say Lindholm Hampus Lindholm

1:06:37

both of them Okay,

1:06:39

maybe they're gonna by the way,

1:06:41

they're gonna be the team up pair that goes

1:06:44

against the map I know it sucks. So McAvoy

1:06:46

and Lindholm Zach

1:06:48

Warenski, okay, I

1:06:51

was thinking not Quinn Hughes No,

1:06:53

maybe not. Uh, let's go Quinn Hughes

1:06:57

and for me it's down to kill Mccarr Victor Hedman.

1:06:59

Oh right And

1:07:03

now this is average ice time or

1:07:05

total ice time total like

1:07:07

cumulative So if they find an order,

1:07:10

yes, they would not be you're done. Yeah, I'll

1:07:12

give you this four of the top five guys

1:07:14

played 82 games Oh You

1:07:18

stink I Well,

1:07:21

okay, so Hedman did not so

1:07:24

that takes him out there I don't remember if is

1:07:26

this an injury. Is this a kale maker injury season

1:07:28

or not? No No,

1:07:32

it's calmentar Yeah,

1:07:36

but if he was injured then we're screwed either

1:07:38

way Roman Yossi done Oh Yossi,

1:07:41

all right, your picks are McAvoy

1:07:43

Lindholm Marenski Hughes and

1:07:46

Yossi and out of those

1:07:48

five guys You got zero The

1:07:54

official time on ice standings

1:07:56

top five huge John Carlson

1:07:58

drew Dowdy Mike Matheson,

1:08:00

Rasmus D'Alene, and Brock Faber. That's the

1:08:02

top five. Man, what a season Brock

1:08:05

Faber had. Mm-hmm. Does he win rookie

1:08:07

of the year? He probably

1:08:09

ought to. I don't. Chris LaTang? I don't

1:08:11

think you can. I think

1:08:13

you got to give it to Baudard, right? Yeah, I

1:08:15

know, but Brock Faber should. OK. We

1:08:17

haven't gotten to the Dubas quotes yet. I

1:08:20

don't know if we're doing that today. But

1:08:23

he's like, oh, yeah, LaTang was playing through something

1:08:25

significant all year. He was sixth

1:08:27

in total ice time. That's crazy. What's the

1:08:29

matter with you? Rounding out the top 10

1:08:32

after Faber, it's LaTang,

1:08:34

Hughes, Yossi, Carlson, Fowler.

1:08:37

Who knew Cam Fowler was still playing that much? Yeah.

1:08:41

This makes the Dubas thing today so

1:08:43

much more frustrating. That's like, that's insanity.

1:08:46

You played an old injured

1:08:48

player the sixth most out of

1:08:50

anybody in the entire league. What's

1:08:54

wrong with you? They're trying to win?

1:08:56

Oh, that's so stupid. That's so dumb.

1:08:58

That's really dumb. Last one,

1:09:00

and then to cap it, we'll play point

1:09:02

a game with the official who finished

1:09:04

with a point a game. So that'll be fun. That'll

1:09:07

be you two against each other. So

1:09:09

we'll do top 10 in goalie

1:09:11

wins. Or

1:09:13

top five, I should say. If you

1:09:15

get three, that means you get

1:09:18

a victory this round. So far,

1:09:20

you guys are, what is it, one for

1:09:22

five, one for four? Connor

1:09:24

Hellabut. No, two because you got Jon Monahan. Goalie

1:09:28

wins. Connor

1:09:31

Hellabut and Alexander

1:09:33

Georgiev. Yeah?

1:09:35

Oh, he played so many games. He didn't stop a lot

1:09:37

of pucks, but he won a lot of games. So

1:09:41

I'll say those two. Now,

1:09:43

who won a lot of

1:09:45

games? I mean, there's the Rangers, Quick

1:09:48

played a lot, but

1:09:51

like Shirley Shisterkin's up there. He's

1:09:54

got to be. I'm

1:09:57

thinking hang on. Must

1:10:00

have won like all those I would those I

1:10:02

would put sorrow during where your give and hella

1:10:04

buck your two official picks so far Yeah, those

1:10:06

are all I would put Soros in there Okay

1:10:11

Soros number three with Demko be in there or

1:10:13

was he injured too long? Yeah,

1:10:17

you missed a lot of time I Feel

1:10:21

like it probably not Jake Oettinger either. Yeah.

1:10:24

Oh Oh

1:10:28

man, oh man Okay,

1:10:34

odd question would Stewart Skinner be in there Oh If

1:10:38

you have one games for them sure Skinner Yeah,

1:10:41

there you go. Okay, so Stewart Skinner

1:10:44

and Who's

1:10:46

five who's father? No,

1:10:48

that wasn't official. Not otter. What about Florida?

1:10:52

Bob Vasilevsky maybe too He

1:10:57

missed a lot of time, but then he came back and

1:10:59

then he played almost all their games. Yes Vassy,

1:11:01

okay and that's the okay. So

1:11:05

Your official I'm asking for three out of the top

1:11:07

five your official picks are hella buck Georgiev

1:11:10

Soros skitter and Vassy the

1:11:12

actual top five are Georgiev

1:11:15

hella buck Bobrovsky.

1:11:17

Oh Shastirkin do we

1:11:20

pick him? No, I think we did we talk

1:11:22

and oh, we're stupid Stewart Skinner Three

1:11:26

of the five there, let's go you

1:11:28

want to bring it up. There you

1:11:31

go That is the top ten rounding

1:11:33

out water Skinner. We have Demko sorrows.

1:11:35

Otter Vassy binning Tim Yeah,

1:11:38

cuz he played a lot of game

1:11:40

more like if the odds are it's 28 wins. Hey Wow

1:11:46

So you got three of those categories? That's not too bad.

1:11:48

I'm bad three of six

1:11:51

Yeah, I'll take it. All right. Yeah, these guys

1:11:53

played 70 plus Proter hate them all Are you guys

1:11:55

ready for point of game? This will be all

1:11:57

ready for point of game our last recap

1:12:00

of the season trivia. So point of

1:12:02

game this year is bonkers by the

1:12:04

way. There's some crazy weird performances. In

1:12:07

total, there are 45 players

1:12:09

who finished with a point a game.

1:12:11

And now this includes everybody. If you

1:12:13

played one game and you scored one

1:12:15

point, you are a point a

1:12:18

game. Get out of here. There are 45 guys you

1:12:20

can pick from. And how this game works if you're

1:12:22

not familiar, if you've never heard us play this before,

1:12:24

Steve and Adam go back and forth. They name a

1:12:26

player and that player must be a point a

1:12:29

game. And if they are not, you are eliminated and

1:12:31

the other guy wins. So who wants to go first?

1:12:33

You got a free square with a lot of guys.

1:12:36

Okay, I'll go first. Austin

1:12:39

Matthews. Well done. Nathan

1:12:42

McKenna. Well done. Mitch Marner.

1:12:45

Mitch Marner. Well done. For use.

1:12:48

You want to know how close you were? 85-69.

1:12:53

He was 1.23 points per game. Yeah,

1:12:56

not even close. Kucharov.

1:12:58

William Nylander. William Nylander,

1:13:00

correct. Actually

1:13:03

below Marner in terms of his points per game.

1:13:06

Pederson.

1:13:08

Elias

1:13:10

Pederson is 1.09 points per game. He is 89-82.

1:13:14

I feel okay. You're going. I'm hugging myself

1:13:16

a little harder. He's number 24 of 45.

1:13:21

No matter what evolving wild says, Sidney

1:13:23

Crosby. What do you mean? Sidney Crosby.

1:13:25

Remember he's like, wait, there's still games

1:13:28

left. How did he lock in a

1:13:30

point per game? 94 in 82, Sidney Crosby. Yeah.

1:13:34

Adam Wilde. Zero. There's

1:13:37

still a couple of free squares, you guys. I

1:13:39

know, but when you're asked this, when

1:13:42

you're asked this, it's sort of... Wait, did

1:13:44

we? No, yeah. It's

1:13:46

just... Stay it. Go, go,

1:13:49

1:13:56

Okay, all right. So you got pasta, you

1:13:58

1:14:50

players who were point a game this season

1:14:52

Who is the least amount of games? Yeah,

1:14:54

1:15:30

who was one in one Lane Hudson with

1:15:33

to Cutter go ché one

1:15:35

1:15:37

1:15:41

ratu Hey, right

1:15:44

1:15:46

some of the other fun names dude,

1:15:48

Luca Del Bell balloons Yeah

1:15:50

one in one he was point a game Who

1:15:53

was the guy who scored last night for Calgary? He

1:15:57

was so excited Oh

1:16:00

hang on, I'll look it up. It's so funny, because I

1:16:02

think Mackenzie Wieger, after the game, was like, he

1:16:04

was like spitting in my face. He was so excited that he'd,

1:16:06

I scored at the NHL level. What was his name, hang on,

1:16:08

I'm gonna look it up. His

1:16:11

name is... Luca.

1:16:14

Adam Klapka. Oh Adam Klapka scored!

1:16:16

Yeah, yeah. Huge, he was, I wanna

1:16:18

say he was under AHL

1:16:21

contract with the Marlies. Oh, okay. Was

1:16:23

in the devil system for a while. Why do I know about

1:16:25

this guy? Anyway, good for him.

1:16:28

Yeah, very cool. Damn, Jesse, that's a hard

1:16:30

game. Yep, well done, Stephen. All right, well

1:16:32

done, Stephen. So...

1:16:37

I wanted to win. Yeah, I know. Just so

1:16:39

you guys know, to add

1:16:41

to the Utah potential names, we've

1:16:43

got, these were the names that

1:16:45

were filed with the applications office. We

1:16:49

got the Blizzard, Utah Blizzard,

1:16:52

Utah Fury, Utah Hockey

1:16:54

Club, Utah HC, Utah Venom,

1:16:57

and just, just

1:16:59

filed a few minutes ago, the

1:17:03

Utah Yeti. Oh, let's go. A

1:17:05

lot of people are looking for Utah Outlaws

1:17:07

as well. I like Outlaws. Hi. Outlaws

1:17:10

would be cool, that's the West, you know that. I feel like

1:17:12

that's more like Arizona. I feel like

1:17:14

that too. Texas. Yes, I agree.

1:17:17

But Outlaws is a cool name. What about

1:17:19

the Rough Riders, guys? The

1:17:22

Utah... Wildcats. I thought

1:17:24

people were way too hard on the Utah names. I

1:17:27

think they always are. I like them. You know their basketball

1:17:29

team's called the Jazz, right? Yeah. Yeah,

1:17:32

because they took them from New Orleans and they never changed

1:17:34

the name. Yeah, it's weird to me that they're like, oh

1:17:36

yeah, we're just gonna go into next season without a name.

1:17:39

But why are you being

1:17:41

so picky about this? Your

1:17:43

basketball team took a team

1:17:46

from somewhere else and was just like, ah,

1:17:48

there's a Jazz. Yeah. There's

1:17:50

a Jazz. That's a thing for New

1:17:52

Orleans. Specifically, they named it after that

1:17:54

city and you took it and said,

1:17:57

you know what? No changes. And the

1:17:59

Los Angeles... is, should we

1:18:01

change it to oceaners? Nah, it's still the

1:18:25

very popular pick. And honestly, I think

1:18:27

part of the reason that patent or

1:18:30

whatever copyright was filed is

1:18:32

because that's what so many people were

1:18:34

calling for. And I mean,

1:18:36

the logo was built in. Make it

1:18:38

a Yeti. I think people need to take

1:18:40

a step back and realize that all

1:18:43

the names of pro sports teams are kind of

1:18:45

dumb. Yeah, little point. There's

1:18:47

three Canadian teams that are just

1:18:49

named different versions of Canadians. The

1:18:53

Canadian. The Canadian. No, the

1:18:55

Abiton are not Canadians. They're people

1:18:57

that came to Canada. Yes,

1:19:01

I know, it's Canadians within England. The

1:19:04

flames. And then we got the senators.

1:19:06

Oh, I think that's kind of a Canadian. I

1:19:08

don't know what I said. They're

1:19:11

very open about the fact that it's like

1:19:13

Greco-Roman. Oh, is it? Yeah. I

1:19:16

don't assume it's something to do with Canada. And like, we

1:19:18

have senators or something. The dude with the golden helmet and

1:19:20

the red shit? I don't know. That's

1:19:22

it. I don't know. And

1:19:25

that's what, by the way, I want to say

1:19:27

this, senators would never have worn that headdress because

1:19:29

senators didn't fight. Shut up. They

1:19:31

would have been wearing purple togas. That's what the

1:19:33

senators should be doing. The Ottawa Spartans didn't

1:19:36

make quite as much of it. I

1:19:38

wouldn't be Spartans. It would be like,

1:19:41

they had cool names for these, like,

1:19:43

Pestati, Triarii, Pretorian Guard. Oh, yeah. They

1:19:46

could have gone with any of them. The Ottawa Pretorian Guard,

1:19:48

you're right. If the senators they went with it. You freaking

1:19:50

nerds. Get away Toronto is a leaf? Like

1:19:52

that's stupid. No, Maple Leaf, I guess is

1:19:54

the full name or the Maple Leaf. Well,

1:19:56

after an army division, it's still a peculiar

1:19:58

name for an army division. Yeah,

1:20:00

especially leaps all

1:20:03

names are kind of dumb when you just

1:20:05

read them now Wouldn't it be sick if

1:20:07

it is the yeti and like they have

1:20:09

a yeti as their mascot mascot? How sick

1:20:12

would that be just a gigantic

1:20:14

yeti walking through there? Come on. That'd be so much

1:20:16

fun and It just

1:20:18

rolls. Well the Utah yeti. It's

1:20:21

I really like it now the plural of yeti

1:20:23

is yetis With an

1:20:25

S on the end of it isn't I apparently it

1:20:27

is according to Greg Wyshinsky So

1:20:30

it would be I still

1:20:32

feel like we'd call it the yeti But I

1:20:34

thought but no I think they got yes yetis Yeah,

1:20:36

you tell yetis it just makes sense that yeti would

1:20:38

be a plural and a singular as well I don't

1:20:40

understand why we have to put in that I think

1:20:42

both work. Yeah, anyway both work Maybe

1:20:45

there's like a bunch of Yetis

1:20:48

running around the arena. Oh They're

1:20:50

coming at you. I think you gotta do it.

1:20:52

Yes. You gotta do the yetis

1:20:54

yetis. Yeah, it's all yetis and then

1:20:58

Just to really really rub it into Arizona. It's

1:21:00

the yetis. You got to do a white out

1:21:05

Well Winnipeg does a white out too.

1:21:08

Yeah because yeah, it was stolen from

1:21:10

them We should

1:21:12

I want to take a moment just to

1:21:14

acknowledge that you can leave

1:21:16

the franchise history

1:21:19

in a city Yeah,

1:21:21

thank you. Thank you for Consistently

1:21:23

moving all of the history from each city

1:21:26

and then one day deciding, you know

1:21:28

what now with Arizona We're leaving it there.

1:21:30

Give it back to Winnipeg Yeah No

1:21:32

Actually what you can do is literally

1:21:34

just leave it in the city and in

1:21:36

the building and shut the lights off

1:21:38

and then yeah Shane don't The

1:21:41

retirement banners in a garbage. Go we have to talk

1:21:43

about that. I did want to bring that up It's

1:21:47

kind of nuts that the coyotes left

1:21:49

their arena and didn't bring Shane Jones

1:21:51

retirement Banner and the banner guy on Twitter

1:21:53

gave it to him, which I thought was

1:21:55

amazing. Yes. I Was

1:21:58

wondering if it was because they didn't pay their bills they

1:22:00

couldn't come collect their shit until they paid their bills. Uh,

1:22:02

how did that happen? I don't know. How does that

1:22:04

happen? I don't know. I mean, Shane Donne didn't do

1:22:06

anything to them. You know what I mean? I

1:22:08

don't, I don't know if, I mean,

1:22:10

there are people who are that petty, but I, I

1:22:12

doubt, um, I doubt they were.

1:22:14

Steve, uh, made fun of me for saying they left in

1:22:17

a garbage can. Can you, we pull up this headline. The

1:22:21

coyotes left Shane Donne's banner in a

1:22:24

garbage can. Is the headline. I

1:22:27

didn't think that was the case. Uh, it's

1:22:29

a shame for the, uh, one to read

1:22:31

the actual thing, uh, from when they, when

1:22:33

the coyotes were evicted from Gila river arena

1:22:35

in 2022, they left some things

1:22:38

behind in their old arena of the lot,

1:22:40

the banner honoring the retirement of Shane Donne.

1:22:42

And what we learn is that when they

1:22:45

got a call to pick it up, they

1:22:47

did nothing. The result, the banner was thrown

1:22:49

in the garbage and Sebastian Goulay

1:22:51

spoke to BPM sports this morning

1:22:53

and talked about, uh, how they

1:22:55

got it back. So

1:22:59

I don't know who threw the banner in the garbage,

1:23:01

but I'm sure anyone who go back who found a,

1:23:03

uh, banner would have kept and

1:23:05

donated it. That's not the, but so that's

1:23:07

besides the point he's going on to get

1:23:09

the city and all that stuff. Listen, I

1:23:11

can't believe, I cannot believe that. Best case

1:23:13

scenario, the coyotes get their team back. Uh,

1:23:15

best, best case scenario. Um,

1:23:18

Alex Morello makes a

1:23:20

decision. Not too long from

1:23:22

now to put his pride aside and leave this team

1:23:24

alone for somebody who can do it. I

1:23:27

got to say, he can't do this. Um,

1:23:29

we should have had our antenna up a

1:23:31

little earlier on this when Shane. Who the

1:23:33

fuck is we? Well, when Shane

1:23:35

Donne specifically said, you

1:23:38

know what? I've been the coyotes like ambassador and

1:23:41

working my way up in the community. Screw all

1:23:43

that. Let me move to Toronto. Uh,

1:23:45

like we should have been once, when Shane Donne

1:23:47

doesn't, isn't working in the organization anymore, we should

1:23:50

have been like, okay, all bets are off. I

1:23:52

don't need an apology for the

1:23:54

way some people talked about our

1:23:57

coverage of, uh, the coyotes and

1:23:59

their ownership. But

1:24:01

I would appreciate one. I'm

1:24:04

just throwing that out there. You're not talking

1:24:06

about from fans. Were

1:24:12

we being unfair about all the stuff

1:24:14

that we were so fucking right about?

1:24:18

We were making it up. Canadian

1:24:20

media, you know? Hey, I wanted to ask you guys

1:24:22

about this. There's

1:24:25

a lot going on in the NHL and obviously

1:24:27

there's a lot of post-game stuff happening or post-season

1:24:29

stuff happening right now. So the reason I'm not

1:24:31

going to dive deep into the Penguins or dive

1:24:33

deep into what the Devils are talking right now,

1:24:36

although Tom Fitzgerald did say in the

1:24:38

29th minute of his press conference yesterday

1:24:40

that he's expecting that the players are

1:24:42

going to wear suits next

1:24:44

year and that's going to help instill teams.

1:24:46

It was only a matter of time. The

1:24:49

Devils do poorly for

1:24:51

long enough. They're like, you know what we're missing?

1:24:54

All the stuff looted. Yep. So

1:24:57

we're not going to get into any of that stuff because I haven't

1:24:59

had the chance to kind of go through it and maybe we don't

1:25:01

get into it because Sunday we're having a show and it's going

1:25:03

to be post a whole bunch of playoff games. But

1:25:06

the LA Clippers have introduced the

1:25:08

ultimate wall pass for fans, providing

1:25:11

access to their new fan section

1:25:14

in the Intuit Dome, meaning that you

1:25:16

– like the Leafs don't have

1:25:18

– I've always advocated for the Leafs to have a

1:25:21

fan night, meaning that you tell

1:25:23

all the season ticket subscribers, sorry guys, you

1:25:25

get 40 games instead of 41 and we're

1:25:27

going to open this up to fans for

1:25:30

one game a year. And

1:25:33

then you win a lottery and you pay

1:25:35

a fixed price and it's not outrageous. Zero

1:25:37

shot but contingent. Yeah I know. Here's

1:25:40

what you get. For $1,299, expensive.

1:25:44

$1,300 bucks. You get

1:25:46

41 home games, not so expensive. For

1:25:48

the Clippers? Yeah. Wow.

1:25:50

The seats based on arrival timing, so there's a

1:25:53

limited amount of seats but if you're there early

1:25:55

with your pass you can go. Early

1:25:57

fans can make it as close as row three.

1:26:00

and you can make a sit with friend reservation.

1:26:03

So basically the idea here is going

1:26:05

off of what they do with

1:26:08

European football, which is there are dedicated,

1:26:10

and MLS does this too, which is

1:26:12

they have dedicated sections at lower prices

1:26:14

for fans so that they'll come in

1:26:16

and blow up flares and wave flags

1:26:18

and get absolutely crazy and they set

1:26:20

the tone for the rest of the

1:26:22

people coming because they're the ones that

1:26:24

get the chance going. Dude, that's 32

1:26:26

bucks a game. It's

1:26:29

amazing. And I think they're counting

1:26:31

on those people to buy

1:26:34

food and drinks and that sort of thing, but when you look at

1:26:36

the artist's rendering of it, it's basically

1:26:39

when you're staring at a basketball

1:26:42

net, it's gonna be this

1:26:44

side and this side of the

1:26:46

net. So you're gonna see, they're gonna be

1:26:48

the one's chanting on

1:26:51

the home side for the entire

1:26:53

game. And I think that the idea is to

1:26:55

attract the hardcore lunatic fans, which

1:26:58

is how you create an atmosphere. Very

1:27:00

interesting. I'm excited to see how this goes. I

1:27:03

don't know enough about LA to say whether or

1:27:05

not that'll work. They're pretty loud. I

1:27:08

know they're pretty loud. It's a ridiculous

1:27:10

place. Lakers though, because

1:27:12

they have so many stars, that's really the

1:27:14

draw. It's like they, when the

1:27:16

Lakers were taken over in the early 80s, that was

1:27:19

part of the point, was bring the stars in. They

1:27:21

started a nightclub in the old, I

1:27:24

forget what it was called, the Forum. And

1:27:27

they had the Forum Club, where celebrities would hang out

1:27:29

with the players after the game and then have drinks

1:27:31

and whatever. And

1:27:33

the whole point was to make that Forum

1:27:36

valuable for things other than basketball, so it could

1:27:38

be profitable. I

1:27:41

don't know if the Clippers

1:27:43

have had quite the same run. Do

1:27:46

you know what I'm saying? No, they got a- They

1:27:48

had a shitty owner for years. Outside of winning a

1:27:50

championship, they gotta find a way to not be the

1:27:53

other basketball team in LA. Yeah. Originally

1:27:56

they were in San Diego, but Donald-

1:27:58

Oh, well, they should've- Stay there. Great

1:28:01

city. Never been, but it was

1:28:03

a great thing. I wonder what you would think

1:28:05

about the Leafs doing something like that. Take one

1:28:08

section, let the

1:28:10

hardcores buy it and be

1:28:12

there every game and literally be like a fan supporter.

1:28:15

I worry that people would find a

1:28:17

way around it. You

1:28:19

know, I feel like I feel like people, I feel

1:28:21

like they could control it in LA somehow, but I

1:28:23

feel like in Toronto people would kind of be sleazy

1:28:25

about and find the way around it to make money

1:28:27

and like resell it to people. And then it ended

1:28:29

up just another suit section. I don't

1:28:31

know. I'm skeptical on us. That fan game

1:28:33

Adam's talking about my first thought was tickets

1:28:35

for that game will be more expensive than

1:28:38

a regular game. Yeah. Yeah.

1:28:40

There, I wish there was a way around the

1:28:42

scalping part of it. Or it's so

1:28:44

bad here. Like the resale of these like

1:28:46

leaf tickets. It's insane. Well, it's like every

1:28:48

time I see that dope, it is, you

1:28:50

know, with who owns like a bunch of

1:28:52

seats who always wear is

1:28:54

whatever the other. He like, listen,

1:28:56

he has 31 jerseys and none of them

1:28:58

are for the lead. Yeah. And he can listen, he could, he's,

1:29:01

everybody's right. He can do what he wants, but it was one

1:29:03

of those words like, yeah, okay. But like you

1:29:06

can sit there and defend a scalper all you want

1:29:08

or he's a, or he's

1:29:10

a dope. And I think he's a dope. Here I'm

1:29:12

going to issue a challenge sports

1:29:14

net stop,

1:29:17

stop putting him on TV. He loves it. Every

1:29:20

time the Leafs play against another team, there's

1:29:22

other fans of that team. Yeah. It's true.

1:29:24

There's fans of every team. Stop

1:29:28

showing that guy. What's he paying you? No, he's

1:29:30

off. He sits in intentionally in sections where the

1:29:32

cameras are. What have they got? One?

1:29:34

Well, they got two or three, but one of

1:29:36

the fans has his seats. He has his seat

1:29:38

intentionally in an area where he will be seen.

1:29:40

I know. Every time they put them on, like

1:29:42

it's 2024. We're all

1:29:45

like, there's the guy. There's that extremely

1:29:47

strange man. Put

1:29:49

someone else on it. Stop it. Why

1:29:52

are you yucking? Someone's yum. Because

1:29:55

his yum is yuck. Oh, Oh,

1:30:02

Jesse, you feel fast I had that shit.

1:30:05

He shows up and like

1:30:07

it'd be one thing if he was

1:30:09

cheering for his team. He's not. He

1:30:11

shows up and goes, yuck. Yeah.

1:30:14

And all of you, you're

1:30:16

all you. Yucky. That's,

1:30:19

that's why I'm yuck in his

1:30:21

yum because his yum is to

1:30:23

yuck my yum. You're right. He's

1:30:25

the one walking into the building.

1:30:27

Yucking Leafs fans. Yuck. It's extraordinarily

1:30:29

weird, babe. It is. No, I

1:30:32

was just asking you to answer

1:30:34

your question, to ask you the question. You answered

1:30:36

it perfectly. Like, I know. I feel like there's

1:30:39

no way to control it though. I

1:30:41

caught Pramilasi. No, no, I'm not happy

1:30:43

to take his money. That's the, that's the, go to the game.

1:30:47

It's fine. Stop putting them on my toes. That

1:30:49

was, that was the original thing we were

1:30:51

hit. Oh, I wanted to hit on is

1:30:54

the resale ticket and the exorbitant price, the

1:30:56

crazy prices and having a guy sit there,

1:30:58

cheer for the other team. There's no way

1:31:00

for MLS to control this stuff. I know.

1:31:03

I don't spend your

1:31:05

money. However, however, you don't

1:31:07

have to put them on TV

1:31:09

every time. You know, let someone else

1:31:11

have some fun. There are other fans. There will

1:31:14

be other Boston fans in attendance. Yeah.

1:31:16

I'm saying, yeah. Yeah, I know. Probably

1:31:19

real Boston fans because he's a Canadians

1:31:22

fan. Yeah. Montreal. So it's

1:31:24

always for like the Panthers because

1:31:26

like there's not a ton of Florida Panthers. Yeah. Yeah.

1:31:29

Get out of here. Yeah. Anyway, leave us alone.

1:31:31

Uh, yeah. I just thought that was a cool

1:31:33

idea by the Clippers to create some atmosphere in

1:31:36

their area. So, uh, that'll be fun. By the

1:31:38

way, before we get to, uh, uh, the press

1:31:40

conference here, did want to let you know that

1:31:42

it looks like TJ Brody will not dress in

1:31:44

game one, which is the

1:31:46

right thing. If you have people are like

1:31:49

Brody or La Buschkin over Brody is a,

1:31:51

is a crime as one of the responses

1:31:53

to Jonas Eagle sweets. I'm like, you've been

1:31:55

watching. You can't put him in. You

1:31:57

can't. You can't. Riley

1:31:59

LaBouche. Bushkin, Benoit McCabe, Edmondson

1:32:02

Lilligrun. We won. That's

1:32:04

exactly what we wanted. We won. And

1:32:06

by the way, Brody will play. He will play.

1:32:08

He's going to play. I'd be very surprised if he didn't. Oh

1:32:10

no, he's playing. It's just, listen. They

1:32:13

have so many bodies, like, he's gonna get in.

1:32:15

We got the forwards? We don't have

1:32:17

the forwards as of yet. Interesting. I

1:32:19

can, well, I'll see if I can pull them. The

1:32:21

one hockey thing I did want to hit on before

1:32:23

we get to the prior conference was Jacob Chikrin in

1:32:26

the SENS post. Yeah, I've got that. Post these

1:32:29

in media avails. This

1:32:31

was from Claire Hannah, a

1:32:33

TSN reporter. Jacob Chikrin

1:32:35

asked if Ottawa is the place he

1:32:37

wants to play the next couple years.

1:32:40

His response, it's a tough question I

1:32:42

don't know. I honestly have not

1:32:44

thought about that. I know I have one

1:32:46

more year left on my contract. There haven't

1:32:48

been talks of an extension or anything, so

1:32:50

I haven't got my head wrapped around that

1:32:52

idea. It's tough to sit here

1:32:54

and act like I have. Take it day

1:32:56

by day and see if and when we

1:32:59

have those talks and go from there. And

1:33:01

it looks like, based on how

1:33:04

this is trending, the Ottawa Senators

1:33:06

are about to give up two

1:33:08

top 12 first round

1:33:10

picks for Debrinkett and

1:33:12

Chikrin for one

1:33:15

and a half year rentals for both guys. And

1:33:19

Chikrin, it doesn't seem like, wants to stay in Ottawa

1:33:21

long term, and that sucks because they gave up a

1:33:23

bunch of assets for him. Of

1:33:25

all the guys who have ever

1:33:27

been gone, he's so gone. He's

1:33:29

been gone since it got there though. Like he

1:33:32

was not speaking. Oh, I think he was on

1:33:34

board. I think there was. Yeah, I don't know.

1:33:37

This isn't Debrinkett. This isn't Debrinkett.

1:33:39

Debrinkett? Debrinkett. Debrinkett.

1:33:42

Debrinkett. Debrinkett. Where's

1:33:44

like he, that dude never, never wanted to

1:33:46

be there. Where's- He wanted to be destroyed

1:33:48

the whole time. Yeah. And Chikrin

1:33:50

was like, no, I'm down with this whole sense thing. I

1:33:53

think he's from the area. Yeah. Um,

1:33:55

it hasn't worked out. It's been terrible. It

1:33:58

seems like he tested it out and was- like

1:34:00

this isn't for me not my monkey I

1:34:02

mean they also say yeah

1:34:04

they also they weren't

1:34:08

good yeah think and like yeah they're gonna

1:34:10

be able to get a lot for him

1:34:12

but I feel bad for him because I

1:34:14

got there until next trade deadline are you

1:34:18

I will say this is this is

1:34:20

now the time to cash your chips

1:34:22

on the Ottawa senators I

1:34:25

don't know I

1:34:27

don't think I've ever heard a player well

1:34:29

he did have the qualifier in there that

1:34:31

he's he acknowledged that he's under contract for

1:34:33

next season but asking a guy who's under

1:34:35

contract for next season do you want to

1:34:37

be here long term and saying you know

1:34:39

what I don't know all he had to

1:34:41

say was I'm under contract and I'm not

1:34:44

we haven't talked extension the writing is just

1:34:46

plastered on the wall that he wants out

1:34:48

yeah what's what's his trade protection Jacob

1:34:51

trick chickrin modified no

1:34:53

trade clause let's see

1:34:55

how many teams 10

1:34:57

team no trade list yeah

1:35:00

that's okay I was gonna say if it's

1:35:02

full no move get comfy Jake it's also

1:35:04

you're not going nowhere it's like a really

1:35:06

good deal four point six million dollars like

1:35:08

somebody will what I'll take that and if

1:35:10

we wanted to refresh our memories about the

1:35:12

trade it was a first round pick which

1:35:15

became the 12th overall pick and

1:35:18

a second round pick which became

1:35:20

the 48th overall pick and another second

1:35:22

round pick in 2026 for

1:35:26

Jacob tricker in to Ottawa senators are to

1:35:28

Arizona I wonder if you'll get traded to

1:35:30

Utah you know that'd

1:35:32

be so funny if they're trying to

1:35:34

pick up like young stars wouldn't Jake

1:35:36

chickrin make a lot of sense for

1:35:38

them we need I

1:35:40

want him to stay here but if Shane don't went and

1:35:42

work for Utah that'd be funny because

1:35:45

then you would have the only possible

1:35:47

person to work for

1:35:49

all three of the original Winnipeg Jets

1:35:52

the Arizona Coyotes and

1:35:54

the Utah yes as the line

1:35:56

but by the way as of right now

1:35:59

they just posted for

1:36:01

Tuesday Matthews-Dome, Nys Tovares

1:36:03

Marner. Interesting, that

1:36:06

must mean McMahon is

1:36:08

hurt. Robertson, Holmberg, Jarnkroek,

1:36:10

Dewar, Komp, Reeves, no,

1:36:12

Nielander is absent for

1:36:14

the, no, doesn't mean anything,

1:36:17

he might just be tired. Cade

1:36:21

Webber also, Cade

1:36:23

Webber also drags. Yeah, that's weird.

1:36:25

He will be their tense defense man. Yeah, he

1:36:27

signed a contract, he's about to burn a year

1:36:30

on it. And

1:36:35

it's essentially a one year deal. Yeah,

1:36:37

they're saying McMahon is injured, Nielander is

1:36:39

absent. Huh, absent.

1:36:41

Wow. Interesting. Might

1:36:44

just be that they're just rest in the guy. What

1:36:47

does William Nielander need to do in practice today? The

1:36:50

structure of this series is so odd because

1:36:53

there's no rest going into it,

1:36:55

but there's rest built into the series.

1:36:58

There's two two day gaps if it

1:37:00

goes seven. Yep, yep. Which

1:37:02

would be a double Saturday. Yeah, we'll

1:37:04

see. As someone with a newborn. To

1:37:06

refresh everybody's memory on the Debrinkett trade.

1:37:09

On July 7th, 2022, the Ottawa Senators acquired Alex

1:37:14

Debrinkett for a first round pick, which

1:37:16

turned out to be Kevin Korchinski and

1:37:18

a second round pick, which turned out

1:37:20

to be Paul Ludwinski and

1:37:22

a third round pick from the Chicago

1:37:25

Blackhawks. And then on July 9th, 2023, one

1:37:27

year almost to the date later, they

1:37:30

traded away Debrinkett to the Red Wings for

1:37:33

a first from Boston

1:37:36

that's coming up in this

1:37:38

draft, a fourth and two, Dominique

1:37:40

Koopalik and another prospect. Yo,

1:37:42

that sucks ass.

1:37:45

So they swapped down a

1:37:48

first round pick, what is that? Like

1:37:50

20 places for

1:37:53

Debrinkett. And then they move a first round pick,

1:37:55

a top 12 pick to get check right in.

1:37:57

It looks like he's going to last there. year

1:38:00

and a half and have to be moved again

1:38:02

if Ottawa can't turn around early next season and

1:38:04

be good. Yep. So conditions

1:38:06

Detroit has the option to send their

1:38:08

own or Boston's 2024 first round

1:38:11

pick. So we don't, Oh, we don't

1:38:14

need to, my bad, my bad, my bad. They've

1:38:16

been, they've been, uh, there's a result of them.

1:38:18

They get Boston's first round pick. Yeah.

1:38:21

Sucks. Should the

1:38:24

Leafs lose to the Bruins just to make the

1:38:26

picks, the pick worse, you know, for the memes,

1:38:29

if they lose, that's why they did it. It's not cause

1:38:31

they're bad. Anyway, let's do

1:38:33

the press conference. SDP

1:38:43

VIP Adam. Uh,

1:38:45

yes, it's out. And it is

1:38:47

exciting. I wanted to ask you guys about

1:38:49

this and this is why I brought it up. Uh,

1:38:52

obviously we talked a little bit about John T. Porter, but we

1:38:54

also, we talked about

1:38:56

the new star Wars game that's coming out

1:38:58

and the pricing model. And I

1:39:01

wanted to know what you guys thought of it because the

1:39:03

producer of this game, Ubisoft

1:39:05

has suggested that maybe you should get

1:39:08

comfortable not owning video

1:39:10

games anymore. And I bet Jesse and

1:39:12

Steve were super cool headed about it.

1:39:15

That's on the SDP VIP. You

1:39:18

should get cool with me seizing the means

1:39:20

of production. Jesse. What's

1:39:22

up? The first question. Uh, yeah. So subscribe,

1:39:24

hit the link in the description, whether on

1:39:26

audio or video and a subscribe to SDP

1:39:28

VIP. Someone just tweeted us actually that they

1:39:30

are robbing us blind by locking in their

1:39:32

price for the next year on Apple. Uh,

1:39:35

where you can do that. That's the only

1:39:37

platform where you can lock in the yearly

1:39:39

price of it's like, a

1:39:41

couple of it's like less than 40 bucks for

1:39:43

the entire year before it goes up in a

1:39:46

month or so. All right. So first question

1:39:48

comes from Python, 35, oh

1:39:50

four. Would Brody take the GEO

1:39:52

deal next season or does he

1:39:54

walk? Oh,

1:39:57

I don't. think

1:40:00

he's that bad. No, no, no, he walks.

1:40:03

Um, and, and you know what, it

1:40:05

might be, it might be time

1:40:07

for him. It may be not. Maybe he has

1:40:09

a better off season. I think he'll be better next year than he

1:40:11

is this year. And I think he's going

1:40:13

to get another two, three years. I think he'd be

1:40:16

interested in staying here. Yeah. I

1:40:19

do. I could, you know what? I

1:40:21

don't know, just based on what

1:40:23

I'm hearing, and this is just a theory. This

1:40:25

is not something someone told me. Um,

1:40:27

Ottawa can make some sense. I

1:40:31

don't think Detroit is looking. They can make some sense. Buffalo.

1:40:34

I think he wants to stay in the area. Okay.

1:40:37

Yeah. Okay. That would,

1:40:39

you know what? I'd like to see TJ Brody back just at

1:40:41

less money. He's not cooked. No,

1:40:43

he's not. I think he had a bad off season

1:40:45

and I think that that's plagued him all season. Give

1:40:48

him a, give him a summer where

1:40:50

horrible things don't happen. And I think he's a

1:40:52

different player. Be ideal. Yeah. This

1:40:54

is from lost in

1:40:56

the sauce. It says

1:40:59

for Steve Austin here

1:41:02

from beautiful Vancouver Island, holding down the Fort over

1:41:04

here for Lee Swin. Can we

1:41:06

get a rallying? Why not embrace the fear for the

1:41:08

dangle Navy? Thanks

1:41:12

fellas. Love you all big hugs. All

1:41:15

right. Should

1:41:21

the odds favor the Leafs in this series? No,

1:41:24

of course not. The Leafs haven't

1:41:27

beaten Boston this season. The Leafs are

1:41:29

not a good matchup for Boston.

1:41:31

The Bruins doubled up the Leafs in scoring and

1:41:33

I haven't felt this doomed

1:41:40

in a playoff series

1:41:43

since the Toronto may police as

1:41:45

the seven seed were taken on the number two seed Ottawa

1:41:48

senators. One of those things was

1:41:50

because the Leafs were the seven seed in the other

1:41:53

was the sends kicked the dog crap. of

1:42:00

the Toronto Maple Leafs in each and every

1:42:02

game they played except for I think the

1:42:04

last one that basically

1:42:06

didn't matter because it

1:42:08

was still one and seven

1:42:11

and what happened the leaves

1:42:13

one two three four friggin

1:42:15

swept them! Patrick Lilleen

1:42:17

was not a bad goalie he

1:42:19

sure wasn't that series he was

1:42:21

definitely at very least second best

1:42:23

Curtis Joseph drove them up a

1:42:25

wall drove them absolutely nuts

1:42:28

bonkers because that is the kind

1:42:30

of magic that you see in

1:42:33

the Stanley Cup playoffs the

1:42:35

Leafs I saw this I haven't

1:42:37

confirmed this but had a winning record against

1:42:39

the Bruins in 2018 and 2019

1:42:42

when they lost didn't matter Florida

1:42:45

Panthers barely squeaked into the playoff

1:42:47

spot last year didn't

1:42:49

matter because they won it's the

1:42:51

Stanley Cup playoffs they built the team

1:42:53

for this so if you're just going

1:42:56

on what you saw in the regular

1:42:58

season you're doing this wrong SNUT! That

1:43:01

is what we were sold and

1:43:03

we looked at the games in October and we

1:43:06

said why isn't this team

1:43:08

playing like a playoff team because it wasn't

1:43:10

the playoffs but they got

1:43:12

better as the year went speed wobble a little

1:43:14

bit at the end but they got better month

1:43:17

over month year over

1:43:20

year this is it you're

1:43:23

not going to get another shot at this not

1:43:25

with this group you're not getting another

1:43:27

shot at the Boston Bruins

1:43:30

a chance to slay your dragon take

1:43:33

a look to your left take a look to your right there's

1:43:36

a really good chance those guys are gone if you

1:43:40

lose this series but you're not

1:43:42

going to because you've been building to this

1:43:44

point for a calendar year and

1:43:46

you've been building towards this revenge for

1:43:48

half a decade. Lease

1:43:51

fans this

1:43:53

is yours embrace

1:43:56

it take

1:43:58

the ride with your eyes wide open

1:44:00

and your hands in the air

1:44:03

because you never know when you're gonna get another playoff

1:44:05

series like this how

1:44:07

was that I like that I

1:44:10

think we just wanted the line but

1:44:12

that oh I thought you said you

1:44:14

wanted a no I liked it are

1:44:17

you serious I was only supposed to do the line yeah

1:44:19

all right

1:44:22

last two things why not there

1:44:24

we go oh my god I just

1:44:26

lost it oh thank god okay got it back alright

1:44:28

I was looking for this comment so we got why

1:44:31

didn't you cut me off that was so long that

1:44:33

was excellent maybe cut off great content what are you

1:44:35

talking about awesome you

1:44:37

nailed it all right so two things just to follow up

1:44:39

on last show and then we're gonna go here one

1:44:43

Kali Yarnkrok so we got an email

1:44:45

from somebody in Sweden as

1:44:47

your discussion on today's pod about how

1:44:49

to pronounce Yarnkrok meaning the word is

1:44:52

actually the meaning of the

1:44:54

word is actually iron hook yes and

1:44:56

it's pronounced Yarn or I

1:44:58

guess Yarn like

1:45:01

Cairns oh let's Swedish experts

1:45:03

yeah you know warm chocolate

1:45:06

it's pronounced Yarn or Yarn like

1:45:09

in Cairns Yarn and in the

1:45:11

end it's neither crook nor crock

1:45:14

but rather a long O like

1:45:16

crew like croaks yeah like cool

1:45:18

similar to how you say the

1:45:21

word cool in English yarn crook

1:45:23

so yeah so Yarn crook Yarn

1:45:26

crook but for the most part I think

1:45:28

it would sound pretty stupid if announcers

1:45:30

in North America would try to use the

1:45:33

Swedish pronunciations for our players because we're speaking

1:45:35

American here so it's not croc

1:45:38

or croak it's it's crew yarn

1:45:40

crook so that's very interesting thanks

1:45:42

for a great show

1:45:44

and greetings from oh my god try and

1:45:46

pronounce this thank

1:45:52

you the home of Peter Forsberg

1:45:54

Marcus Naslin and

1:45:57

the Sweden twins that is

1:46:00

Lars Norden. Thank you Lars, that was

1:46:02

awesome. Wow Lars Norden. Wow.

1:46:04

Thank you from the most sweetest.

1:46:09

And last

1:46:11

update and then we're done. You

1:46:13

mentioned that you were talking, you're like, I

1:46:15

remember there was a Maple

1:46:18

Leafs game that ended or a Raptors

1:46:20

game that ended the same time as the Jays walk

1:46:22

off. And they all ended up Maple Leafs where I

1:46:24

was like, yeah, I think that's the Edwin one. Somebody

1:46:26

in our YouTube comments, Chris said,

1:46:28

no, it wasn't a

1:46:31

Jays playoff game, it was a Raptors

1:46:33

playoff game. So they say, no Jesse,

1:46:36

Lowry hit a buzzer beater from half

1:46:38

to tie game one of the 2016

1:46:41

semi-finals versus the Heat. And the same

1:46:43

night Justin Smoke hit a game tying and

1:46:45

then a walk off home run to seal

1:46:47

a Jays win against the Mariners. This

1:46:49

happened on May 3rd. Chris, nothing

1:46:53

to say that you remember the date in

1:46:55

the two games. Well done. So I want

1:46:57

to shout them out too for directing me

1:46:59

on that. I just remember it being a

1:47:01

really big buzz like in Toronto sports media

1:47:03

circles because everyone who was working that night

1:47:05

was like, I was fucking insane. Yeah. Because

1:47:07

they were like a minute apart. Yeah. Yeah.

1:47:09

They happened right there. So I remember that.

1:47:11

I know me. No. Well,

1:47:13

I was like, I didn't know what I

1:47:15

mean. That's crazy. Anyway, I said the guy

1:47:18

with no memory. Hey, so listen, what team

1:47:20

did you pick? I don't care. Who cares?

1:47:22

Let's, I hope they all lose except for

1:47:24

the leaf. Uh, we'll be

1:47:26

seeing you and the press screw. That'll do real.

1:47:29

Uh, we'll be seeing you this weekend. Sunday

1:47:31

is the next STP for stream Saturday

1:47:33

night with Steve Dangle. Follow the

1:47:36

guys on Twitter.
