1:44
been hitting it all week get yours
1:47
at the local 7-Eleven on Amazon today
1:49
yeah I want to start off the
1:51
show I just want to recap very
1:53
quickly the last few games since last
1:55
time we touched base I have been
1:57
on boots on the ground for every
1:59
game in the tournament. I believe I
2:01
am. Am I the only, no, no,
2:03
yes, I will be the only part
2:05
of the Chiklitz screw that once again
2:08
did the Chiklitz Decathlon. I've hit every
2:10
game and I'm telling I will not
2:12
be here without the body armor flash
2:14
IVs, but let's quickly go through the
2:16
games, Chief, your thoughts on, go back
2:18
as far as the Saturday, Canada U.S.
2:20
game quickly. So I was on vacation
2:22
in Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico.
2:25
I would have fought a Canadian in Puerto Rico.
2:27
I was ready to go. I would have
2:29
fought. Like come to room 1216 if you
2:31
want some. I was so fired up. That
2:33
to me was the perfect hockey game. It
2:35
had everything. You had guys committed. I didn't
2:37
know Dylan Learn had that much bite to
2:39
his game. Yeah. So Jack used winning
2:41
board battles. Like that was everybody's
2:44
bought in, everybody's committed. I loved
2:46
everything about that game. And yeah,
2:48
that game was electric girls. I
2:50
didn't know. I don't think we
2:52
expected the three fights. I definitely
2:54
didn't like the anticipation to build
2:56
up to Saturday night with the afternoon
2:58
game too, murals being really good as well
3:00
with the fins and Swedes. And so we
3:03
get into that game on Saturday and it
3:05
was like, oh hell broke loose and I
3:07
think just even for the players, I think
3:09
for the fans, for the players, it got
3:11
people that hate fighting, talking about why are
3:13
they doing this and got people like us
3:15
that loved it, that were like this is
3:17
amazing. And I honestly, I've got to give
3:19
full credit to every player and country
3:22
represented. for this event and for
3:24
not just showing up and like Lolly
3:26
Gagan or you know it's you know it is kind
3:28
of gimmicky when you think about it but they
3:30
came they have the jerseys on they have their
3:33
countries on their chest and they've played
3:35
balls out doesn't feel like an all-star game no
3:37
oh the all-star game is officially dead and I
3:39
was one of the ones that was worried I
3:41
said you know they very easily could have came
3:44
here gone through the motions. Oh, I don't want
3:46
to get hurt. I'd rather win a Stanley Cup
3:48
than a four nations. But that was all put
3:50
the rest the very first game and it's carried
3:52
on and and we're going to get into all
3:54
the Kachuk boys later on in a little bit.
3:57
But just an amazing atmosphere in Montreal,
3:59
the fans. up there treated everybody that
4:01
they're like hockey people up there they
4:03
they know when to cheer how to
4:05
cheer so respectful to us at all
4:07
the meat and greets and I mean
4:09
biz is running through the streets everybody's
4:11
trying to get a piece of them
4:13
and they're all very like polite and
4:15
they're all very like polite and everything's
4:17
trying to get a piece of them
4:19
and they're all very like polite and
4:21
everything Canadians are the best yeah well
4:23
I mean I mean I don't know like you
4:25
just got in your room for puk-trap we bumped
4:27
it up right it was a little earlier but
4:29
Like the Mario thing and like this
4:31
the chance and the ovation and the
4:34
regaleness of hockey in Montreal and the
4:36
energy was just an amazing way to
4:38
start this thing off and now we're
4:40
here boots on the ground boys
4:42
and you're battling he and from porterico
4:45
what you go home for a second repack
4:47
and then come here basically i was back
4:49
for like two days my skin is out
4:51
your bed's gonna be gross i'm peeling i
4:54
got sunburn peeling all over the place did
4:56
it right yeah how's that sound fish yeah
4:58
fish is bed he's like yeah so let's
5:00
get let's go right ahead to the Monday
5:03
game everybody knows we took the nine hour
5:05
ride through the snow this sleeping the whole
5:07
ride i had to stay awake to keep
5:09
wet away just a grind just a grind
5:12
but i mean It was a it was
5:14
a laughter but then all of a
5:16
sudden panic time for you Canadians. Oh
5:18
panic absolute panic time buddy like they battled
5:20
back into this game and Grandlin
5:23
Grandlin like just went haywire like
5:25
I was like were you getting nervous for
5:27
that? Well you had the minus one and
5:29
a half bet too which thanks Sid, thanks
5:31
again Sid, another moment for Sid where
5:33
he saves a day massive hit on
5:36
Grandlin in the neutral zone and just
5:38
kind of stopped the bleeding if you will
5:40
in that game but. for a game that
5:42
was like a runaway ended up giving us
5:44
our money's worth at the end. At the
5:46
same time, isn't it? It's been unbelievable. So
5:48
funny story, I happened to run and sit
5:50
our old roommate during this week off here
5:53
in Boston. And the first thing I did
5:55
is I showed the picture of my parley
5:57
and I showed it to him. I'm like,
5:59
thank you again. Oh yeah, he was laughing
6:01
about it. So it was great catching up
6:03
with him. I saw a bunch of other
6:05
Canadian guys. A real funny story. I don't
6:07
know if I should tell this one. I
6:10
ran into some of the Finnish guys and
6:12
you guys know how much I love Leccanin,
6:14
right? Oh my God. Leccanin shots, that's my
6:16
prop. Always been a couple years running. So
6:18
I'm trying to tell him about this. And
6:21
he's like, oh shit, he goes. I've been
6:23
getting so many DMs lately about shooting the
6:25
puck more. I was like, oh sorry, that's
6:27
my fault. I've got to have the world
6:29
betting shots, lacking in shots every
6:32
night. So sorry about that, but
6:34
the murals effect, the murals gambling
6:36
effect, did you do any shots with
6:39
the shot, King? Yeah, I did some
6:41
finished shot thing. It was wild. It
6:43
was almost like a pint class with
6:45
two shots balanced together on the top,
6:47
like leaning against together on the other
6:49
one drops in. and then you pound
6:52
that too. So it's basically doing the
6:54
car bomb kind of. Yeah, it turns
6:56
into like a car bomb, some finished
6:58
thing, like a roulette. One shot was
7:00
light. And then which, I remember I
7:02
picked the one and they're like, oh no,
7:05
you went that one first and I'm
7:07
like, ah, whatever. I just dumped them
7:09
down in a great night. The next game
7:11
didn't matter USA Sweden, but you
7:13
know, it was, it was tough because you
7:16
had to. Are you happy, Sweden won though?
7:18
Hey Sweden is are they the only team
7:20
that didn't lose a regulation game? Yeah, they
7:22
are so like shout out to the Swedes
7:24
But now it's set up US Canada
7:26
a couple quick things McAvoy injury
7:28
up in Montreal We don't know
7:30
exactly what happened, but we have
7:32
some conspiracy theories Yeah, I don't I
7:34
have no clue what happened. I don't know
7:37
when it happened and then we get the announcements
7:39
from the team I don't know if you
7:41
saw that. Did the Bruins say it happened
7:43
originally in the Finland game? It happened in
7:45
a game and then it's something happened with
7:48
an infection and like the Boston doctors had
7:50
to come out and say something. What's a
7:52
conspiracy on it? Yeah, I just I think
7:54
that it was shoulder was hurt and then
7:56
the Montreal doctors gave him shot probably a
7:58
numbit or whatever. But everybody knows
8:01
the Montreal Boston rivalry. They should
8:03
not. Oh, that's a conspiracy. Don't
8:05
let the brewing, like do not
8:07
let the Habs doctors touch a
8:09
brew and that was a big
8:11
mistake. Big mistake, he ends up
8:13
getting affection. He's out. Which is
8:16
huge because he was a beast in
8:18
that can, like an absolute weapon. Change
8:20
the game. He changed the game. Just
8:22
rock solid change. You heard those miked
8:25
things like Chuck miked miked up and
8:27
stuff and like Brady's on. and like just
8:29
his his will and determination and everything like kind
8:31
of surge their team with the way he played
8:33
that night. It's cool to see those miked up
8:36
things like the NHL has all this stuff going
8:38
on right now. The one with the trucks
8:40
and box was it was better than you
8:42
could have even how mine yeah it was
8:44
good like they're just unbelievable aren't meets yeah
8:46
Bass brother lunatics biz causes the BBL's other
8:48
quick injury stuff the ketchup they got banged
8:50
up I actually had Brady to score in
8:52
that in that game and he gets hurt
8:54
so I'm a loser part of a loser
8:56
part of it my fault. Kanukk's did
8:58
not clear, Quinn Hughes, that was the big news,
9:01
everybody thought he was on his way here, did
9:03
not happen, but Pesce and Thompson called
9:05
up, I have not seen it today, we've been hounding
9:07
the internet, hounding the phone lines, trying to
9:09
get the lineups, they're not out, hopefully it
9:11
happens during the show, the official line, I'd
9:14
love to see if somehow Thompson gets in
9:16
there, be sick. But like I, thing, like here's
9:18
the tweets here, everyone, this has been going
9:20
on the tweets here, this, this has been
9:22
going on for the tweets here, this,
9:24
this, this has been going on
9:26
for the tweets here, Scott Stevens
9:28
and Niedermeyer and Lindross, Lindelsohn's on
9:30
the list. He's flying to Boston,
9:32
everyone's coming in for Canada, so
9:34
you know we're just refilling everything
9:36
up and Billy Garrett's working
9:38
overtime trying to get guys in this
9:40
lineup that weren't even on the roster. Like
9:43
what are we doing? Rules or Rules
9:45
Billy Boy? I wanted to be as
9:47
competitive as possible. Have 25 man rosters,
9:49
whatever it takes. You can't be going down
9:51
to 6D. Yeah maybe okay maybe next year
9:54
when they do this yes yeah a good
9:56
idea would be to just carry like four
9:58
extra guys then then you get more guys
10:00
in the mix and then if stuff
10:02
like this happens you can replace with
10:05
best on best guys and there's no
10:07
controversy right and and and you can
10:09
rotate your lineup game and game out
10:11
a guy that might be like the
10:14
fifth eye out of the lineup but
10:16
you're like oh crap we got to
10:18
get him in there so it's like
10:20
any rotation any movements you're in the
10:23
mix and you could go horses for
10:25
courses if you're playing USA player to
10:27
come for us Mr. USA. You
10:29
got it. You're the you're the
10:32
intro. What do we got
10:34
here? We got the great Jeremy
10:37
Roanick back boots on
10:39
the ground in his
10:41
hometown of Boston nine-time
10:43
all-star. He represented his
10:46
country's country several times.
10:48
What is that? Merle's
10:50
right there. We're all
10:53
junior most goals. Olympic
10:55
silver medal, United States hockey hall fame,
10:57
NHL Hall fan, so just an international
10:59
legend as long as in a Boston
11:02
legend where we are today. Ball up
11:04
his Thayer stats, his Thayer stats are
11:06
insane. He's a video game. Second, let's
11:08
do. We don't even go there. It's
11:10
our insane. They are insane. I love,
11:13
I love your backdrop. Boys, you guys
11:15
hanging out in bed together, it's the
11:17
best. Yeah. In the common section calling
11:19
it only notes. Yeah, just drop some
11:21
money in their JR. Yeah, you never
11:24
know what you're gonna get here with
11:26
these guys. Bathrobes time. Pre-game is
11:28
travaganza. I reached out to you
11:30
because I was like, we gotta
11:32
have like a USA hockey legend
11:34
on. A guy that has opinions a guy that's
11:37
USA proud, I think, like a guy that's
11:39
gonna come in here and kind of tee
11:41
this game up and I couldn't think of
11:43
a better guy. So what is, do you think there's
11:45
gonna be any bleed over or run over
11:48
from last game? Do you expect kind of,
11:50
I don't know if we can expect what we
11:52
saw last game. JR, what do you make of
11:54
it going into tonight? It's pretty hard
11:56
to top what happened the other night. Let's
11:58
just put it that. way. There's three
12:01
fights in nine seconds. I
12:03
can't remember that since New
12:05
Jersey played New York, you know, a
12:07
few years back. I had a
12:10
conversation with the Kachuk boys the
12:12
other day on Face Time, and
12:14
I said, no, no more fighting.
12:16
Let's go. We need you guys
12:18
healthy. No more fighting. And they
12:20
both looked at me and go,
12:22
yeah, don't bet on that not
12:24
happening. So there's no question
12:26
that the... energy and adrenaline
12:28
is at an all-time high. And
12:31
I will tell you guys, I didn't know
12:33
what to expect from this
12:35
tournament coming in in the
12:37
middle of the season and how
12:39
engaged the players were going to be
12:42
or what this style would be,
12:44
but I am so impressed with
12:46
this short tournament. I'm so impressed
12:48
with the engagement of these players
12:51
and how... proud they are to put on
12:53
those jerseys and how it's changed their game.
12:55
This is this is way more of a
12:57
physical brand of hockey than we see in
13:00
an NHL game. And to watch this and
13:02
to know now that the final
13:04
is what we've wanted, US versus Canada,
13:06
having everything that's going on
13:09
politically with our our national
13:11
anthem getting booed in Canada. There
13:13
is no question it's going to
13:15
get booed tonight in Boston because this
13:17
is the one place that will boo
13:19
right back. And the players right now,
13:22
I haven't seen a hockey game
13:24
so publicized so look forward to
13:26
since 2002 Olympic games. And this
13:28
might even be just as big.
13:30
It's great for hockey. It's great for
13:33
USA hockey and for a lot of
13:35
the kids that are going to be
13:37
watching. I think it's going to be
13:39
great for Canada hockey because they need
13:42
a boost in Canada. because they've literally
13:44
have kind of lost that little luster
13:46
of being the world powerhouse. So no
13:49
aura. No aura. Yeah, this is a
13:51
this is a big game. This is a
13:53
big international game. And I'm telling you,
13:55
I was just downstairs with Keith Kuchak
13:57
and we're talking in the lot and
13:59
the, in the, in the room downstairs.
14:02
The energy is electric,
14:04
even in the family room, even
14:06
in the family room downstairs. It's
14:08
like, everybody's intense and on, you
14:11
look on the backdrop and Fox
14:13
News has, is doing a spot from
14:15
the arena. I mean, it's, it's gonna
14:17
be great, man. Win or lose for
14:20
the US. It's gonna be a great
14:22
game. Oh,
14:26
we got cut off there a little
14:28
bit. Sorry, Jared. I guess I would,
14:30
like, I'm so fired up, I can't
14:33
agree with you more. It's a credit
14:35
to the players, a credit to the
14:37
players for playing the way they
14:39
have. No question. This is all,
14:42
you know, the league put it
14:44
on, but it's player driven. And
14:46
these guys have delivered. I only
14:48
played world championships. I didn't play
14:51
a cut from world juniors. after
14:53
we've been starved as long as
14:55
we have guys, which I think
14:57
puts a cherry on top of
14:59
this event too, because we're like
15:01
the players are like, yeah, we
15:04
need this. JR, what are these
15:06
Canada and US? What's this feeling
15:08
like for them today? Even though
15:10
it's a four nations face off,
15:12
but this is like we've been
15:14
starved. They've got to be feeling
15:16
like crazy. Well, that's it,
15:18
right? They're starved for it.
15:20
So a lot of these kids that are
15:23
playing right now. win the gold medal
15:25
in 2010 in Canada, right? They
15:27
haven't had a chance to put
15:29
on a Canadian jersey to represent
15:32
their country like this. You said,
15:34
maybe yes, World Junior or the
15:36
World Championships, but that pales in
15:39
comparison to what this is, right?
15:41
This is the best of the
15:43
best of the best that are putting
15:45
on the Canadian jersey or the
15:48
American jersey. The fact that these
15:50
kids are, this is the first.
15:52
really exposure to the
15:54
highest end representation
15:57
of their country
15:59
and They're loving it and
16:01
you can see the energy you can
16:04
see in there the way that they
16:06
play you can see in their interviews
16:08
It's exactly what hockey
16:10
needed and I didn't realize
16:12
that this tournament in
16:15
the middle of the February in
16:17
the middle of an NHL
16:19
season Would have this strong of
16:21
an effect on the game of
16:23
hockey especially going into the
16:26
Olympics next year which is
16:28
going to make it even
16:30
more exciting, looking forward to
16:32
next year for the Olympics in
16:34
the middle of the season. So
16:36
my hat's off to whoever put
16:38
this together, whether it's the NHL
16:40
or the NHLPA or whatever
16:43
the case may be, I think
16:45
it is an overwhelming success and
16:47
it's going to end in overwhelming
16:49
success with probably more people
16:51
watching a hockey game tonight
16:54
than we've had in over a
16:56
decade and a half. Yeah, I think the
16:58
Canadian guys are just as crazy as these
17:00
Americans. I think there's going to be fights
17:02
again because they really do not like each
17:04
other a lot of them after talking to
17:06
them But I wanted to quickly go around
17:08
the horn here get everybody involved here start
17:11
with you JR like what one star you're
17:13
looking for for the US to step up
17:15
and maybe a sleeper guy to step up
17:17
and have a big game and the whole
17:19
world's gonna find out about them even more
17:21
today So Austin Matthews needs to put
17:23
fucking a net There's no doubt
17:25
about it. I mean he has
17:27
I think he's under achieved, but
17:29
I think he's also bought into
17:32
the Mentality that Mike Sullivan
17:34
is thrown in more of
17:36
a defensive-minded patient Style a
17:38
game that everybody has to
17:40
play on the United States,
17:42
but Austin Matthews needs to
17:44
put that pocket in that whether
17:46
it's on the power play or
17:49
Find a way to score five
17:51
on five. That's imperative for this
17:53
team is a guy
17:55
that should be
17:57
talked about
18:00
hockey player that's fun to
18:02
watch that can score goals,
18:04
play defense, can play physical
18:06
is this kid is he could
18:08
he could really put a huge huge
18:11
boost into his into
18:13
his popularity column and
18:15
have people notice him because
18:17
unfortunately he's in
18:20
Minnesota it doesn't get a
18:22
lot of a lot of
18:24
publicity around the country. and
18:26
he's behind some, you know, some
18:28
other players that he might not
18:30
get the notoriety for. So
18:32
Matt Voldy is the guy that I
18:34
think can can step up and add
18:37
that physical, an extra
18:39
physical brand and defensive
18:41
brand that also can
18:43
score goals, because you can't
18:45
just lay it on the Kachuk
18:47
boys. They're banged up. They're
18:50
obviously, Matthew didn't play the
18:52
last part of game two.
18:54
We've seen the injuries that have happened.
18:56
So Matt Boldy to me is going
18:58
to be that guy that is, can
19:00
really change his mental, his persona. Yeah,
19:02
I love that. I was going to
19:04
say Matt Boldy too is the sleeper.
19:06
He seems like a guy Billy G
19:08
created in a lap. Like when he felt
19:10
a 12 or whatever in that draft
19:12
Billy Garin probably sprinted to the podium
19:15
to take him. I love Matt Boldy.
19:17
I think it's I calls night though.
19:19
I think he's a horse. He's the
19:21
one C on this team. He's been awesome
19:23
all tournament. I think this is where he kind
19:25
of has his coming out party. I know he
19:27
has a Stanley Cup, but on this stage with
19:29
all the eyeballs of all the casual people tuning
19:31
into hockey for the first time being like, that's
19:33
our guy. That's Jack Eicel. He's got to score
19:35
tonight. He's going to lead us to a win.
19:38
Yeah, all guys that I think. R looked at
19:40
I think Boldy is the one guy though
19:42
because he has all the tools that JR
19:44
just mentioned he's got all these tools. It's
19:46
like can he just elevate one notch up
19:48
and you know to the to that point
19:50
there's so many guys JR though that that
19:52
are here that like you know Mitch Marner
19:54
on the Canadian side he scored
19:57
a huge goal obviously you know start out
19:59
the turnout. I'm an O.T. winner and it's
20:01
and it you know he's never been in
20:03
kind of this situation and you know we're
20:05
here guys talking like Matthew Kachowk like I've
20:08
never been in a game like this guy
20:10
was in game seven of the Stanley Cup
20:12
final and he's five months I mean he's
20:14
Kuchter God gift to hockey right now with
20:17
what they are from sound bites to the
20:19
way they play I wish I could wrap
20:21
them up and steal them and bring them
20:24
to Canada the way they play but there
20:26
so many guys on this. even though you
20:28
are can, you know, like, yes, such a
20:30
big goal is towards a game winning goal
20:32
against Canada and game one. And, you know,
20:35
he's so dynamic. I mean, he might be
20:37
that Mitch Marner of the American group, right?
20:39
So, yeah, he's big on his team. He's
20:41
a big asset of his team. But yeah,
20:43
I totally agree with you. I look at
20:45
all these guys too. For me for Canada, I
20:47
look at the big dogs, right, you got
20:49
the McKinnon, the McKinninne and
20:52
the McDavid and the Crosby effect that
20:54
they have that they have that they
20:56
have. in this lineup, which you know,
20:58
has been difference makers in this tournament
21:00
already and having McCarthy back in this
21:02
lineup, like you could look at like
21:05
an X factor guy or a guy
21:07
that could step up like like a
21:09
kind of Reinhart get scoring too. He's
21:11
kind of, he's played well, he's played
21:14
solid, he's produced JR, but I think
21:16
for Canada, you can't look any further
21:18
than the big boys. No, and what
21:20
you're saying is true, but what they
21:22
really have, which is truly dynamic.
21:24
And this one player I'm
21:26
going to mention doesn't even
21:29
get the notoriety he shared
21:31
on his own team. And that's
21:33
Braden Point. I mean, Braden
21:36
Point might be the best player
21:38
on that team. And when I
21:40
talk about all-around players and
21:43
hockey dynamics, I mean, obviously
21:45
not better than Connor McDavid
21:47
or of that sort, but
21:49
when I when you talk
21:51
about a guy who's the
21:53
most... under talked about
21:55
players in the world, Braden
21:58
Point has got to be it. the
22:00
top of that list. He has been
22:02
unbelievable for this Canadian team and
22:04
you can put him on in any situation
22:06
and feel very comfortable of your
22:09
of the situation. He's been never
22:11
at like an all-star game. You got
22:13
like Kucharab, you got stamcoast, you got
22:15
a log jam of stars and you're
22:17
right, he's a guy that has been so
22:19
huge, great pickup with that. I like I just
22:22
look at these guys so we got What was
22:24
the World Cup of Hockey in Toronto? It
22:26
was the last time we had this. Some
22:28
of those guys were on Team North America.
22:30
Oh my God, like it's like we're finally,
22:32
we're finally getting JR, like just the pride
22:34
that you felt when you first cracked on
22:36
the scene at least at the pro level,
22:38
not world juniors, but playing with your
22:40
peers at this level. It's like, it's like
22:43
one of the, it's like Iron Man and fucking
22:45
Hulk and you got all the guys now
22:47
in the room together in the dynamic in
22:49
the dynamic of that energy, must be just
22:51
be just be just incredible. It's
22:54
unbelievable. I feel it. I felt
22:56
it walking into the hotel. I
22:58
felt it. I mean, even at the, even
23:00
at the, at the airport, you know,
23:03
people coming up, signing autographs
23:05
or people looking for everybody
23:08
coming in. I opened up Twitter.
23:10
I opened up Twitter and I
23:12
said, there's a Jeremy Rone exciting
23:15
in the airport. He's in Boston,
23:17
you know, all USA players. Please
23:19
report the Boston sign up there,
23:21
you know, like. Dude, where else do
23:24
you get that? You don't get that
23:26
from anything else besides something of this
23:28
magnitude. It's awesome. You're gonna be wearing
23:30
your Hall of Fame jacket around the barn
23:32
tonight? You're gonna be struggling. I am entertaining.
23:34
I am entertaining tonight, but I will not
23:37
be wearing my Hall of Fame jacket and
23:39
I left my Hall of Fame ring back
23:41
at home too. So I'm not flaunting it
23:43
and I'm just making sure everybody's gonna have
23:46
a great time. Yeah. The guy I'm looking forward to
23:48
step up is Jack Hughes. You know, he's
23:50
been getting a ton of shots. Nothing's going
23:52
in for him. JR, when you played in
23:54
these giant games like this, and maybe you
23:56
were struggling a little bit, is there anything
23:58
you would change or where you just know?
24:00
confident yourself and you stick with the
24:02
system. You know Jack Hughes is
24:04
a great great call on your part
24:07
right there because he's one of the
24:09
most talented and smartest guys on that
24:11
team. I was just with this
24:13
literally just with his mom and dad
24:16
downstairs and they are they're as nervous
24:18
as long tail cats in the room
24:20
full of rocking chairs right this is
24:22
like crazy. They are and because they
24:24
want their they want their kid
24:26
to be good. They're also very
24:29
disappointed that Quinn isn't here.
24:31
And it's just kind of
24:33
funny how Quinn was
24:35
skating yesterday in
24:37
Vancouver, could have got
24:40
to his plane, could have
24:42
got there, but for some
24:45
reason wasn't cleared to
24:47
play by his team.
24:49
I wonder why that
24:51
happened. Second case of
24:53
Canadian doctors taking out
24:55
Americans. And what I
24:57
love about Jack, Jack
24:59
has Pizzazas. Jack has Swagger. Jack
25:01
has an edge. And what Jack needs to
25:04
do is make sure that he gets to
25:06
the inside of the game. He gets into
25:08
those high traffic areas, those dirty areas that
25:10
he goes to where the puck is going
25:13
to come to. Sometimes he gets caught in
25:15
that time where he's waiting for the puck
25:17
to get to him. He wants somebody to
25:19
get to puck to him so he can
25:22
do his magic. At some point, especially
25:24
in the game like tonight. You have to
25:26
go to the traffic. You have to go
25:28
to where that puck is going to go
25:30
to, not expect it to get to you.
25:33
So that's what I would suggest to Jack
25:35
Hughes is to get your ass in front
25:37
of that net. Get to the high traffic
25:39
areas, throw your stick around, throw
25:41
some elbows, throw some punches, take
25:44
some punches, and get in the
25:46
mix because there's nothing better. You guys. you
25:48
know what it's like when you get in
25:50
there into a game you get punched in
25:52
the face you get hit that's when you
25:54
get energized that's when you get excited and
25:56
that's when you play your best is when
25:58
you're engaged yeah And I think,
26:01
well, coming from you and after
26:03
watching your career, I mean, that's
26:05
very J.R. That's, that's your style.
26:07
But I think we're seeing that
26:10
right now. Like, it's just
26:12
been amazing for me to watch
26:14
passionate hockey, like these players. Isn't
26:16
it crazy? It's like these players.
26:18
Isn't it crazy? It's like, we
26:20
have to, we have, we have,
26:22
we have, we're in the middle
26:24
of, in the middle of a
26:27
season to get some old time
26:29
hockey back. You want to hit him?
26:31
You're going to close him out? I got
26:33
one more thing. Okay, you do it after.
26:35
I want to ask you that like bigger
26:37
than hockey picture, you kind of touched on
26:39
it and Chief did too as well
26:41
and gave a big head nod like
26:44
yeah, bought him by the tail right
26:46
now. Canada hockey supremacy, we've seen the
26:48
world juniors now in the last few
26:50
years, back to back wins. I think
26:52
women's hockey as well, you could even
26:54
go there like the team USA,
26:56
Canada rivalry. And now we're getting finally
26:58
this, like, is this bigger than, I
27:00
don't even know what the damn movie
27:02
is, JR, like, do they get a medal?
27:05
They get a trophy at the end of
27:07
it. It doesn't even freaking matter right now,
27:09
right? It's like, this is bigger than just
27:11
like, the, it's like, it's like supremacy
27:13
of hockey, like, do you feel that
27:16
as a guy that came up USA
27:18
hockey battling and to see where USA
27:20
hockey is? out with Canada and
27:22
it's kind of like reached
27:24
this pinnacle point right now,
27:26
I think bigger than just
27:28
winning a game. It's bigger
27:31
than that. Yeah, this, this,
27:33
this, this, obviously I think
27:35
the stakes are bigger for
27:37
Canada. There's no question about
27:40
it because of what we've
27:42
seen over the last little
27:44
while with the, with the,
27:47
that the USA hockey has
27:49
in building, multiple NDPs
27:51
across the country. They are
27:53
amping up and they are
27:56
poised to create more national
27:58
development programs which will. better
28:00
teams and better international
28:02
teams and they're cognizant
28:05
of it. I think Canada's kind
28:08
of taken their foot off the
28:10
gas on that mentality. I
28:12
think politics has kind
28:15
of slipped into Canadian
28:17
hockey, which is not good ever.
28:19
And this could either save
28:22
the Canadian dominance of hockey
28:24
and give them something to
28:26
stay excited about. Or it's
28:29
going to be the biggest
28:31
wake-up call in hockey Canada
28:33
history to be like, whoa, we
28:35
have lost something very big
28:37
and we need to find a way
28:39
to get it back and shape up
28:41
the way that they run hockey
28:43
Canada. Because what I've seen
28:46
and what I've heard, politics
28:48
is too involved and they
28:50
are not putting in the
28:52
efforts in on the grassroots
28:54
level as much as the
28:56
United States is. That's what's at
28:59
stake here tonight. And not only
29:01
if it's, it's two of the most biggest
29:03
powerhouses in world hockey, but one
29:05
stands to lose a lot more than
29:07
the other. Yeah, I feel that. I feel that
29:10
a bit. Yeah, and it has happened. It
29:12
happened in Russia. They weren't getting
29:14
goalies. They re-changed their whole
29:17
system, make more goalies. Finland
29:19
wasn't developing players. They changed
29:21
their thing. We all know
29:24
about development program, changed everything
29:26
for us. But before we let
29:28
you go, we need Coach JR.
29:30
What would be your pre-game speech
29:33
to these guys after warm-ups right
29:35
before they're ready to go on
29:37
the ice and defend America
29:40
for us? You know, I actually, I
29:42
actually, I actually thought about
29:44
this because there was a
29:47
possibility of maybe doing a
29:49
little, um, little visit into
29:51
the American locker room
29:53
before he lined up. And, you know,
29:55
for me, it's. It doesn't get
29:58
any fucking bigger. doesn't.
30:00
You know, Stanley Cup is
30:02
one thing, yes, I get it.
30:05
Olympic gold medal game is great,
30:07
yes, I get it. But what I've
30:09
seen in this short tournament,
30:12
this has become as big
30:14
because of the storyline than
30:16
anything. So I'd be like, listen,
30:18
you guys know that they're
30:21
gonna come out hating you. You
30:23
know these guys are gonna come
30:25
out with thorns up their ass,
30:27
pissed off. Because of everything that's
30:29
going on in the world, because
30:32
you beat them in game one,
30:34
you're playing against McDavid,
30:36
McKinnon, Macar, Point. I mean, we can
30:38
go right down the line. This is
30:40
not going to be an easy game,
30:42
but you know what you guys got?
30:45
You guys have a win under your
30:47
belts. You guys have pride.
30:49
You're wearing the colors of the
30:51
strongest country on the planet.
30:53
On the planet. And we have taken
30:56
such huge strides to get there and
30:58
you guys have swagger and you know
31:00
what you guys are you guys are
31:02
more of a team. You guys have
31:04
bought into a system. You're not individuals.
31:06
You are you are 23 guys, 22
31:08
guys that have bought into a system
31:11
and and you're here on the number
31:13
one seed and now you got
31:15
to protect it. And you're protecting
31:17
it against a team that hates
31:19
you guys the fucking most. And the
31:21
team that they. name is hockey
31:23
is their sport. It's a Canadian
31:26
sport. Well, I would say you go
31:28
out there and say, no, I disagree.
31:30
It's not a Canadian sport.
31:32
It's a fucking USA sport
31:35
now. And that's what I
31:37
would say to them. And I would
31:39
get down so geared off and
31:41
so right. I'm ready. Let's beat
31:43
the shit out of murals right
31:45
now. And I just love it. I
31:47
mean, listen, I, it's. It doesn't matter
31:50
who wins to me. I want USA
31:52
to win so bad, so bad, so
31:54
bad, so bad. But I also
31:56
understand that it's hockey is the
31:58
big winner here. has been
32:00
put on a platform and
32:03
that patriotism for both countries
32:05
is alive and well and
32:08
is so looking forward to eager
32:10
watching this game tonight. And that's
32:12
what I love is that hockey
32:15
is a winner here. What a
32:17
stud. You forgot to say Crosby
32:19
in your speech too, but we
32:21
got Crosby. It's on a platter.
32:23
It's on a platter. The Golden
32:26
Gold J. We've got the kids.
32:28
I used to be a Crosby,
32:30
I used to be a Crosby
32:32
Hater. He's one of my favorite
32:35
players in the world right now
32:37
for so many different reasons. He
32:39
has been the arguably their best
32:41
player at 37 years old,
32:43
like please come on. Yeah, he's,
32:46
I don't know much time Crosby
32:48
has left, but he's, he's one
32:50
of those messie grets, you guys.
32:52
There's no three year wait for
32:54
the Hall of Fame. It's right
32:56
in, boom, bye. All right, I'm
32:58
gonna set it here. This is
33:01
it last question body armor
33:03
question to to overtime who
33:05
score. Yeah for the US
33:07
J. R. Yep. I'm going
33:09
I'm going I'm going with
33:12
you cheap Jack Eico mom
33:14

33:18
his pizazazaz on he's got so much
33:20
mojo in his just. winning a cup,
33:22

33:24

up there asked by saying, listen, I'm
33:31

33:33

33:35
the right decisions for myself. This kid
33:37
is, this kid's a stud. He's an
33:39
absolute stud and I would, I would
33:41
put it right on Jackal's shoulders for
33:43
the US. I mean, on the other side
33:45
in Canada, if, if you're not picking
33:47
Mc David, you're, you're an absolute
33:50
idiot. I'm an idiot, I'm big Crosby,

35:57
They're not cut out for the show. I

36:02

36:45

36:47
inside I can't believe you're making
36:50
the trek right now I thought you
36:52
were down and out anything for best
36:54
on bad talk here was me yesterday
36:56
the Jordan flogging Hey, like, you're not
36:58
going tomorrow. Like, there's no way you
37:00
can go. And it wasn't even a
37:02
question. I'm going at, like, 45, 50%
37:04
right now. Even if I was 10%
37:06
I'm getting in the car and I'm
37:08
driving up. This is a once in
37:10
a lifetime game. I wouldn't miss it
37:12
for anything. All right, I just looked
37:14
it up, Trochek plus 650 anytime. That's
37:16
a lock pretty much, but I want
37:18
to know the real question. They
37:21
don't even have odd yet for it
37:23
on drafting sports book. Will you
37:25
be indulging in the Pink
37:27
Whitney at the greatest bar
37:29
at 530 or are you on the shelf?
37:31
It's minus 5,000 that I will
37:34
be all over the Pink Whitney
37:36
tonight boys. Like we said, you
37:38
texting me out this morning,
37:40
Merleys, you said, hydrate,
37:43
hydrate, hydrate and the Pink
37:45
Whitney will kill the germs at
37:47
5 o'clock. You're the
37:49
veteran. You're the chicklets
37:51
GM. I'm listening to
37:53
you. Doctor Army said
37:56
so can we do
37:58
another stadium doctor? Let's
38:00
see, do you trust me? I got people in
38:02
the chat saying army's a trader, what did I
38:04
trade? I got Canada Moneyline tonight, okay?
38:06
I don't know what you, I'm a dual
38:08
citizen. What do you want me to do?
38:11
I played for Team Canada World Championships, twice,
38:13
silver and a gold medal and the game
38:15
winning goal for Canada brought home for the
38:18
country. Adam in the chat? What am I trading?
38:20
I wanna get your opinion on this
38:22
because I'm super super super super
38:24
super super super superstitious. And I
38:26
always, like every Blue Bruins
38:28
playoff run, I try to
38:30
wear the same exact outfit
38:33
if they win. So I'm
38:35
wearing the same exact
38:37
outfit. I'm talking boxers,
38:40
socks, pants, everything from
38:42
the game in Montreal.
38:44
I haven't had the chance
38:46
to wash any of them. So I'm
38:48
wearing dirty boxers, everything's
38:51
dirty tonight. Is that okay?
38:54
is that I'm riding my superstition.
38:56
My heart's telling me I got
38:58
where the journey goes. Do it.
39:00
Do it. I did that in our
39:03
playoff run of the colder cup. I
39:05
wore the same underwear in this team
39:07
suit every game. That was I think
39:10
24 games. So let's think about
39:12
that one, G. You're all right.
39:14
Turn them inside. Oh, gee. You'll
39:16
be all right. Well, hit the
39:19
road. Keep driving, buddy, buddy, buddy.
39:21
We can't wait to get you here.
39:23
I want the entire city of Boston
39:25
at the greatest bar today. 530, pink
39:27
waiting shots will be flowing. Tons of
39:30
special guest on tap. It's gonna be
39:32
a movie. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.
39:34
USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. There you
39:36
go. Let Gee give the locker rooms.
39:39
Yeah. We should have teed him up
39:41
for one too. Gee. Gee. Gee could
39:43
just jump on J.R's back and you
39:45
could carry him around like a minimi
39:47
and he could give the speeches in
39:50
the dressing room. to start it off. Where
39:52
we at now, Merle's, what do we get? We kind of
39:54
got jumped there by JR, but I mean, you never turn
39:56
that guy down. If he's ready, he gets on there. We
39:58
had a little all- tournament team. up to this point
40:00
we put together. We want to shout out
40:02
a few few players if Pasha can pop
40:05
that graphic up. It starts off. We put
40:07
both Kuchak Brothers together just to get
40:09
more names in there. I mean it
40:11
was the best brothers. The goals they
40:13
scored earlier. Brady's hits, like just seeing him on
40:15
the stage, is unreal. He is a beast. Back-to-back fights,
40:17
great interviews, the dad calling them lunatics, they've just created
40:19
a great storyline first, the whole tournament. I wish Keith
40:21
had more sons, that's my only complaint, I wish there
40:23
was 20. Like his, when he answered these, I don't
40:25
know what's up with these guys, they're lunatics, that's what
40:27
he's said about his sons, and they are, they're unbelievable.
40:29
They're unbelievable, they're unbelievable, they're unbelievable. They're unbelievable, they're unbelievable.
40:31
They're unbelievable, they're unbelievable, they're unbelievable, they're unbelievable, they're unbelievable,
40:33
they're unbelievable, they're unbelievable, they're unbelievable, they're, they're, they're, they're,
40:35
they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,
40:37
they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they tied for the
40:39
league league league lead the tournament lead and
40:41
points he's got five points we see him
40:44
we got to have him up there mr.
40:46
Canada the golden goal the stage is set
40:48
tonight for Crosby and chief Granlin Granite
40:50
has had a good tournament he's done but
40:52
yeah he's they're done but yeah three goals
40:54
one assist in the tournament now Dallas Star
40:57
correct I traded a lot of sharks great
40:59
a couple we'll be hearing about him all
41:01
playoffs our guys Zach Orensky we still on
41:03
there again he's almost the same team we had
41:05
after the first week but he's got five assists
41:08
But I will tell you, we're going to get
41:10
to it later in my draft King's parley with
41:12
Keith and Whit. We have him scoring the
41:14
goal tonight. It's not going to say zero
41:16
goals anymore after tonight. So Zach Worensky's on
41:18
there. And then next guy. Yeah, Carlson, a
41:20
Swede. Yeah, I think Hangwin. I think he
41:22
kind of turned the Swedes around in that
41:24
Canada game. He made some plays held on
41:26
the pux. He did his thing. He kind of
41:28
stepped up and changed the tournament up and
41:31
changed the tournament for them for them in a
41:33
tournament for them in a, in a way. were
41:35
unable to get the job done to get to
41:37
the final but he was pivotal on their team
41:39
of goal and a couple of sis through his
41:41
three games in this tournament rock solid. Next
41:44
guy's your guy Jets guy goalie hellabuck
41:46
two and all everybody's been talking to
41:48
get these stats out there now I'm
41:50
talking about hellabuck everybody's talking about Bennington
41:52
all he won game seven verse the
41:55
brewing I did three and one in
41:57
Boston blah blah blah here we go
41:59
on hell stats I'm going to give
42:01
you. He's three and oh this year
42:03
with Jets on four days rest and
42:06
then I really went under the hood.
42:08
I think Johnny Lazz was guy retweeted
42:10
at this one. When he played at
42:13
the TD Garden in college he went
42:15
to and oh and didn't give up
42:17
like a goal either game. So it
42:19
was crazy like that. So if we're
42:22
going to look at old stats of
42:24
these goalies our USA is right there
42:26
with dinner. You didn't pull up his
42:28
playoff stats when he went under the
42:31
hood I guess. I left those ones
42:33
out. Nobody, nobody would, you would swap
42:35
Binington for a hella book in one
42:38
second. Yeah, he's a hell of a
42:40
goalie. That'll be, we'll see what happens.
42:42
Binner will get it done on the
42:44
big stage and then Hegel, quote machine,
42:47
all fired up. He's going to run
42:49
through walls at night. He's talking to
42:51
himself in his hotel room. He doesn't
42:53
want to be on any group chats.
42:56
He just wants to chew off American
42:58
people's faces. Just an absolute Western beauty,
43:00
Western beauty, Western Canadian, Western Canadian, honorable
43:03
mention, honorable mention, Thank you for coming
43:05
out. Yeah, he really is trading that
43:07
guy away. That's a real reason we
43:09
put him there, just to rub it
43:12
in here. Yeah. Chief Chicago, that guy.
43:14
That would have been a nice young
43:16
piece to build around. Dear God, have
43:19
mercy on us, please with that. You're
43:21
just living in hell with that, aren't
43:23
you? And then I seen Seth Jones
43:25
is looking to get dealt. He had
43:28
some monies in the way he wants
43:30
to win games. He wants to be
43:32
in a win a winner somehow. He's
43:34
working on it. He's working on it.
43:37
He's working on it. He's working on
43:39
it. He's working on it. He's working
43:41
on it. He's working on it. He's
43:44
working on it. He's working on it.
43:46
He's working on it. He's working on
43:48
it. He's working on it. He's working
43:50
on it. He's working on it. He's
43:53
working on it. He's working on it.
43:55
He's working on it. He's working on
43:57
it. He If Theodore and William Carlson
44:00
are an LTIR, is he going, could
44:02
Vegas do it again? Oh my God,
44:04
Vegas do it again, and then there's
44:06
your top four. What all of that?
44:09
Yeah, so right shot deep, but I
44:11
don't think they're going to get a
44:13
deal done. It's just, I don't think
44:15
they want to eat any money, and
44:18
then they're going to need help getting
44:20
to the cap floor next year, and
44:22
that Jones contract is actually going to.
44:25
be helpful in that regard. So I
44:27
agree. I would be surprised if he
44:29
got dealt. Well, while we're on the
44:31
trade talk, I didn't know if we
44:34
were gonna be able to mix this
44:36
in, but we're out at dinner last
44:38
night in Memes. Memesie has an unreal
44:40
trade offer that fits right into this
44:43
game. We need to get them up.
44:45
to announce this trade. So it goes
44:47
down in record. He's the official rumor
44:50
boy on this trade. Memesie, you're there
44:52
for us. Here he comes, Folks. In
44:54
the corner. We need to see you.
44:56
We gotta have you in the camera.
44:59
That's what the people want. There it
45:01
is. Come right behind us. You're like
45:03
the porn guy in the back. Memes
45:06
is in. All right, you guys, you're
45:08
ready for this trade. Chats ready. All
45:10
right, Toronto Maple Leafs trade Austin Matthew.
45:12
Through the Panthers for Matthew Cajuck, one
45:15
for one, and then Marner for Brady
45:17
Cajuck to Ottawa. To bring all teams
45:19
win. Cajuck Brothers to Toronto, and they
45:21
hire Keith Cajuck as coach, maybe. Yeah,
45:24
get Wallin there. That's not a bad
45:26
deal. I feel like that could help
45:28
all the teams involved, I feel like.
45:31
Oh. Jazz in the chat, oh God.
45:33
Who says no? He says no. Capital
45:35
letters. You got a marinate on it
45:37
a bit. I think initially when you
45:40
think about it, you're like, wow, that's
45:42
amazing, kind of. And then you start
45:44
to think about it, you're like, whoa,
45:46
yeah, this is like, this is crazy.
45:49
And like the NBA trade. I don't
45:51
think Canada would issue my passport or
45:53
a visa. There won't be a lot
45:56
of their country. That's true. Memesie, all
45:58
right, while we got you here, let's
46:00
keep it on Four Nations. You're the
46:02
coach of Canada. What are you telling
46:05
the guys? Going out for, before, before
46:07
the game, after warm-ups. I just be
46:09
like, let's go boys. Memesie anything else
46:12
you got anything else. What are you
46:14
looking for? Sid any time goal. Oh
46:16
McDavid any time point in Canada win.
46:18
Whoa! Memesie guarantee. Me? See, see, par,
46:21
like, get it out there. Memes will
46:23
tweet it later and we'll, we'll get
46:25
those odds. Libby, Draft King sports. Libby,
46:27
Libby, Memes, he's edible, just kicked it.
46:30
I'm still over here. My Bob will
46:32
be on the eye. Love you, Libby,
46:34
love the chat. Chat's been buzzed. What
46:37
a, what a show so far. Where
46:39
you wanna go now, we wanna get
46:41
our picks at, once a month? memessies
46:43
trade proposals Richard Richard in the chat
46:46
says Ron Jeremy fancy the ketchup brothers
46:48
on the leaves. Spitten image. Spitten image.
46:50
Proove it. Prove it. Yeah, I want
46:53
to get, I hope Pasha's back there.
46:55
I know he's got a big bowl
46:57
of chowder and a couple lobsters going,
46:59
but I wanted to get to our
47:02
our draft kings sports book parlays. We
47:04
have one for the US. With my,
47:06
uh, Keith Gandel, myself, we cooked it
47:08
up. We're going to pop that up
47:11
there. Great odds. Plus 2,500. We're trying
47:13
to put this book out of business
47:15
tonight. You got USA to win, obviously.
47:18
I talked about earlier. Zacharanski, goal. Keith
47:20
said he's going to be one of
47:22
those little sifters, not a little wrist
47:24
shot straight through. Chief, your guy, Jack
47:27
Eickel, point, and it's incredible. Bolding. We
47:29
all talked about him. That was not
47:31
set up. This was done last night.
47:33
Matthew Boldie, two shots on goal. 2
47:36
shots on goal. Yeah, the Worensky one's
47:38
probably the toughest one out there, but
47:40
he's for a goal. I like that.
47:43
I also might investigate what it looks
47:45
like if you just swap the Worensky
47:47
and Ikel legs. Oh, what would that
47:49
pay? That's interesting too. That's probably plus
47:52
a thousand still, plus a hundred. I
47:54
can work on that while we pop
47:56
up the Canada one that I just
47:59
sent over to. Pasha that the arm
48:01
dog and Biz cooked up for Canada.
48:03
You want to go through that one
48:05
army backing team Canada's tonight's championship. Yeah,
48:08
McDavid one plus point Canada to win
48:10
and Makara point as well. Go check that
48:12
one out. That's a good one. Oh Canada
48:14
baby. Look at me and busy just proud
48:16
Canadians right there rocking it. Then you have
48:18
a name for it or something you're coming
48:20
up with. Oh, we got that for that
48:23
other one. The four mount. What happened in
48:25
that one? I thought that was this one.
48:27
Oh Canada, I thought that, so that's
48:29
gonna be another parley. We got another
48:31
one. You want me to do the
48:33
other one? Yeah, talk about the other
48:35
one too. I'm looking up the parley
48:37
right now. We got the other one,
48:40
this one right here, look at these
48:42

48:49
up, up, the four mounties, mount
48:51
up for Canada, here we go.
48:53
We got these four guys, the
48:56
four horsemen, riding into the battle.
48:58
USA doesn't have these guys, all
49:00
to get a point tonight. Canada
49:02
Moneyline, let's go. You scared me
49:05
a little. So look at these
49:07
guys. Also I got to mention
49:09
while I'm here, on Draft Kings
49:11
tonight, there's a special boost. Same
49:14
game parlay boost. What's it saying?
49:16
Oh, okay. Relax. Oh, we got
49:18
the guys that may be. Here
49:20

49:29
Canadian. Do you want me,
49:31
buddy? You steal the headline, headline
49:33
hog, busy boy. We got yans
49:35
jumping in. He looks like he's
49:37
at the golf course as per
49:40
the huge. What a game tonight
49:42
boys. This is every we had JR
49:44
on to start the show. Just epic.
49:46
G's on the car right up. We
49:49
got you guys popping in. What's
49:51
an extra. I'll delegate. You know
49:53
what's happening? What's happening? Is Biz
49:55
put it out there if this team
49:57
loses that country of Canada is shut.
50:00
now and you put it out there
50:02
biz and you're gonna eat your words
50:04
comment 1030 tonight maybe a little later
50:06
depending on how many whistles we got
50:08
we are coming for you baby guys
50:11
in that Canadian locker room know exactly
50:13
what the fuck we're playing for now
50:15
army you probably agree with me it
50:17
feels like like the United States are
50:20
playing with a little bit more umf
50:22
right now. I think that they think
50:24
that this is a lot bigger moment
50:26
or at least thought it was. And
50:29
now it's gotten to the level it's
50:31
gotten to like a little sprinkle a
50:33
little bit of politics in the buoying
50:35
of the anthems. This is this is
50:38
for keeps army. This is going to
50:40
last a long time if Canada doesn't
50:42
pull this off. The insults, the gloating.
50:44
Can you can you imagine how obnoxious
50:47
wit will be if they win? Buddy
50:49
the table set though that's the thing
50:51
like they got Saturday night they're all
50:53
loving it and now we're here we
50:55
are in this last game here tonight
50:58
and it's just the table set like
51:00
this is what Canada does biz this
51:02
is what they're gonna do. They're going
51:04
to come out, they're going to claim
51:07
supremacy, we asked J.R. about it, if
51:09
this is more than a game, if
51:11
this is more with the world junior
51:13
thing and the USA feels they're coming
51:16
on, they feel like this is their
51:18
time, they get their team together and
51:20
they've got all this energy around like
51:22
we're taking over and this is when
51:25
Canada springs up and just drives it
51:27
right through. Right through the flag, baby.
51:29
All right, enough Canada propaganda here. Yeah,
51:31
we need you on here. First thing,
51:34
Hans, give me a star you're looking
51:36
forward to step up for the US
51:38
and then a dark horse pick that's
51:40
gonna have a huge game and jump
51:42
on the map. You
51:47
know what, I'm sticking with the
51:49
back end. I think he's been
51:52
the best player for U.S. on
51:54
the back end offensively. We've had
51:56
a lot of studs on the
51:58
back end playing well. Jacob Slave
52:00
and household name now. Noah Hanifen.
52:03
Household. name now. So we just
52:05
got guys on the back end
52:07
absolutely slinging it around but none
52:09
other better than my boy Zach
52:12
Worensky. I have him having a
52:14
big night tonight. He's got I
52:16
think five assists but I have
52:18
him scoring tonight and scoring at
52:20
will because you know why busy
52:23
boy you guys are a third
52:25
tier goal tending country third tier
52:27
you got USA oh yeah and
52:29
then maybe you guys but you
52:32
know what I'm actually taking a
52:34
pack you guys are fifth grade
52:36
oh yeah When the chips are
52:38
on the table, I'm taking Jordan
52:40
Bennington any time over Connor Hellabuck,
52:43
I'll tell you that. Connor Hellabuck
52:45
can't even get you past the
52:47
first fucking round of the NHL
52:49
playoffs. You think he's gonna win
52:51
the Four Nations Championship? You're out
52:54
of your god damn mind. You
52:56
know who wasn't playing? You know
52:58
why he can't get past the
53:00
first? because
53:03
he plays in a Canadian city.
53:05
If he played in anywhere in
53:07
the United States, he'd have a ring
53:09
after ring, not the ring. But
53:11
he has to play in a
53:13
Canadian city and he can't get it
53:15
done there, baby. But tonight for Team
53:18
USA, playing in the United States,
53:20
playing where he went to college,
53:22
Connor Hellabuck is gonna absolutely pitch a
53:24
game sponsored by body armor. Probably never
53:26
even graduated. We got, we'll always have
53:29
this, this is what we have,
53:31
yams, busy, the four horsemen, the
53:33
mounties, mount up, point McDavid, point McKinnon,
53:35
point McCar, point Crosby, all the night
53:37
biz, how does that sound you,
53:39
baby? That is the Draft King's
53:41
one, it's all on there, the graphic
53:44
just didn't have them all listed, so
53:46
it is the four horsemen, best 500.
53:48
Plus 500. Plus 500. There's no
53:50
doubt in my mind, those guys
53:52
will be galloping tonight. To answer the
53:55
same question you guys sent over to
53:57
the ants, who has to step
53:59
up and have a big game?
54:01
I think this is easily the biggest
54:04
game of Mitch Marner's career. People want
54:06
to think because he's a Toronto Maple
54:08
Leaf, I'm trying to make a
54:10
big deal, this thing. This is
54:12
a guy who wants to probably get
54:15
paid $13.5 million this off season. Well,
54:17
guess what? We've never really seen him
54:19
shine in these types of moments
54:21
where he controls a game or
54:23
where he's a difference maker. He was
54:26
invisible against the United States come Saturday.
54:28
Let's see if he can, Mitchie
54:30
boy could turn it on for
54:32
this one, for your country. If you
54:34
can't do it for the Toronto base,
54:37
do it for your God damn country,
54:39
Mitchie. Okay. All right, that's your
54:41
speech, just a Marner, but yes,
54:43
I need you as coach, USA, that's
54:45
our theme today. I need you, what
54:48
you're gonna say as the coach
54:50
before they go out there after
54:52
warm-upsps. I
54:57
honestly think he doesn't have to say
54:59
a word because you know why? He's
55:01
got Brady Kuchak and Matthew Kuchak who
55:03
are going to walk in that locker
55:06
room and just sit down and every
55:08
single guy on that team is going
55:10
to look at them and see what
55:12
they're about to bring to the table.
55:14
Matthew Kuchak. Brady Kuchak, their dad grew
55:16
up in Charleston. You know how many
55:18
family and friends they're going to have
55:20
their biz? You know how many family
55:23
and friends are going to be going
55:25
absolutely nuts? You think they want to
55:27
go out there and put on a
55:29
stinker for in front of their family,
55:31
in front of their country? No, they're
55:33
going to look across that locker and
55:35
see those two leaders and be like,
55:37
we don't have to say a word.
55:40
Let's just go out there and follow
55:42
these. All right, biz. What's going on
55:44
in the Caribbean? I'm walking out there
55:46
just frozen. There it is. There's the
55:48
four horses. I'm walking in. I'm saying
55:50
that fucking orange man called you the
55:52
51st date It's affected your country. Then
55:54
he tried to impose tariffs to affect
55:57
your economy. Everybody back home is watching
55:59
right now. And not only are you
56:01
going to curb stop that orange fuck,
56:03
you're going to curb stop every obnoxious
56:05
American thinking they had a chicken Dix
56:07
chance to win this fucking hockey game.
56:09
You know, I got, I got Macar,
56:11
I got Morrissey, I got Crosby, McKinnon,
56:14
McDavid, Bennington, and that, let's fucking go.
56:16
There's a lineup. It's a scary line.
56:18
I mean, Trump did invite Trudeau to
56:20
the governor's meeting tonight. That's being a
56:22
good guy. to be a good neighbor.
56:24
This just used every piece of bulletin
56:26
board material going into this game tonight.
56:28
Unbelievable. Compiled it into one speech. Now,
56:31
I mean, how do you, army on
56:33
a serious thought, I haven't been listening
56:35
because I kind of just woke up,
56:37
been sleeping a lot after all these
56:39
misflights. How are you feeling about this
56:41
one? I feel like the stage is
56:43
set. I feel like, I feel like
56:45
the moment's gonna be huge. And when
56:48
the moments are really big like this,
56:50
like Saturday night was like nine years
56:52
of pent up, a pent up shit.
56:54
We got an electric factory. USA came
56:56
on top. They defended, they played so
56:58
well. I think Canada has to play
57:00
a little different against them. They're fast.
57:02
They're big. I think we have to
57:05
take it to the trenches. We have
57:07
to be pucks in behind, retrieve pucks,
57:09
pin pucks on the wall, work that
57:11
hard nose Canadian style game, slow the
57:13
game down a bit into our favor
57:15
a little bit, instead of trying to
57:17
execute East West off rushes and play
57:19
fast. They're fast. It was a problem
57:22
last game. taking it up a little
57:24
bit in regards to how you're gonna
57:26
manage this game a little bit and
57:28
take it to the trenches and slow
57:30
the game down. That's my thoughts going
57:32
into tonight, but I think the stage
57:34
is set as I said, it's high
57:36
right now, like the energy is high,
57:39
like the energy is high, like the
57:41
energy is high, and I think when
57:43
the chips are on the table for
57:45
this game and preparing for this, I
57:47
go right to the, and I go
57:49
right to Crosby, and you've mentioned the
57:51
cross, watched him growing up and wanted
57:53
to play with him and wanted to
57:56
be him and he's gonna the guy
57:58
to be the tone setter at 37
58:00
and come in there and they're gonna
58:02
have a game plan and they're gonna
58:04
be ready to get revenge here in
58:06
the final tonight they let them have
58:08
their fun up in Montreal but this
58:10
is when the chips are on the
58:13
table the brightest light shot busy boy
58:15
and we got the brightest lights in
58:17
the game on our team the four
58:19
mounties mount up baby and biz biz
58:21
before we let you go we know
58:23
you're busy man it is gonna be
58:25
two to going into over time over
58:27
time and remember this isn't gonna be
58:30
that three on three on three on
58:32
three bullshit that we see in the
58:34
world championships and the world juniors and
58:36
we saw in the in the regular
58:38
game it's gonna be five on five
58:40
twenty minutes a period yeah so none
58:42
of this soft bullshit hockey who's gonna
58:44
score the game winning goal for Canada
58:47
you stop got to be said that's
58:49
armed dogs got to be said like
58:51
I last I almost laugh because I'm
58:53
like I'm like because I'm like I
58:55
can just leave, we can just leave,
58:57
like as soon as it goes over,
58:59
and we go like, yeah, we left,
59:01
like, he's gonna score, yeah, it doesn't
59:04
matter. I'll let you guys go, but
59:06
I agree with everything that army's saying,
59:08
and thanks again for having me on
59:10
all three of you. Good to see
59:12
you, Chief. Completely different mindset coming into
59:14
this one. I think they need to
59:16
try to work to talk below the
59:18
goal line a little bit more. I
59:21
think that they have to get their
59:23
shots to get their shots through their
59:25
shots through their shots through from the
59:27
shots through from the shots through from
59:29
the shots through from the point. early
59:31
with a greasy one with like a
59:33
low to high point shot tip in.
59:35
I think that'll open up a lot
59:38
more east to west as the game
59:40
progresses. They didn't do that at all.
59:42
They kept trying to feather things through.
59:44
They didn't really give them any other
59:46
any other looks and they're far too
59:48
predictable. I like their mindset against the
59:50
fins where they were very simple early
59:52
on. Everything was north. I mean you
59:55
saw it on the Roopé hence turnover,
59:57
right? Make them make the mistake. Get
59:59
it in their territory. Keep it simple.
1:00:01
Make them make the mistake. So let's
1:00:03
go Canada. Boys, if God forbid the
1:00:05
United States of America wins, I think
1:00:07
this. to be the third most impactful
1:00:09
win in international play in the history
1:00:12
of the United States of America. I
1:00:14
think there's gonna be over 20 million
1:00:16
people watching this game. I think this
1:00:18
is, that's why I talk about impactful.
1:00:20
I don't give a fuck that this
1:00:22
was a made up four nations tournament,
1:00:24
okay? Every one of those, the Summit
1:00:26
series, the 96 World Cup, all of
1:00:29
these were these makeshift tournaments. I get,
1:00:31
we didn't have eight or 10 teams
1:00:33
in it, but let's get real. outside
1:00:35
of Russia, the four best nations were
1:00:37
playing in this tournament. And the fact
1:00:39
that the USA has probably put on
1:00:41
ice the best lineup they've ever had
1:00:43
as a country and that's no disrespect
1:00:46
to the 96 team, that's no disrespect
1:00:48
to the 1980 Olympic team. This is
1:00:50
one of the most pivotal moments in
1:00:52
USA hockey history and Brady and Matthew
1:00:54
Kuchak. will be known just as much
1:00:56
as Arizioni, just as much as Jeremy
1:00:58
Roanick, just as much as Bill Garin
1:01:00
if they're able to pull off this
1:01:03
victory based on what this tournament has
1:01:05
done for USA hockey. I will leave
1:01:07
it at that. I wish you Americans
1:01:09
good luck, army, let's go to war.
1:01:11
Let's fucking go to war! Let's go
1:01:13
to war! That's incredible. Incredible guesses is
1:01:15
that we've already we're at an hour
1:01:17
here. So we are scrapping show Mindsees
1:01:20
for today. We're moving right onto the
1:01:22
picks segment of the show and I
1:01:24
and we haven't heard from all day.
1:01:26
We haven't had a role to disclaimer
1:01:28
yet, but we need the disclaimer. We
1:01:30
need Pasha to come on with a
1:01:32
couple quick picks for the game. No
1:01:34
disclaimer necessary today boys because my pick
1:01:37
is Canada Moneyline parlayed with a Sam
1:01:39
Ryan Hart any time goal score Which
1:01:41
I could very well see being the
1:01:43
overtime winner. He's already he's got the
1:01:45
most goals in hockey in the last
1:01:47
year He's got the cup winning goal
1:01:49
so what's another you know championship winning
1:01:51
goal under his resume? And that's so
1:01:54
Canadian to just have a guy like
1:01:56
him? Yes, he's got the most goals
1:01:58
in a calendar year right now play
1:02:00
and everything. And he's just like a
1:02:02
guy, there are all these studs
1:02:04
and it's always that one guy
1:02:06
in Canada that always shines, isn't
1:02:09
it? Good old Canadian boy, plays
1:02:11
the game the right way. Turns
1:02:13
out he's one of your best
1:02:15
friends too. No bias here at
1:02:17
all. What is that? Plus, 525.
1:02:19
Anytime goal, Sam Reinhart, right there
1:02:21
from Pasha. Great pick buddy. Yeah,
1:02:23
nice pick. Canada Moneyline. We miss
1:02:25
you. That's a savage comet by
1:02:28
Jazzy there. Oh, that's classic Jazzy.
1:02:30
Love him in the chat. What
1:02:32
a chat. Yeah, Pasha, great to
1:02:34
see you. Thank you for everything
1:02:36
back there. Armdog, you're up next.
1:02:39
What did I have? Just your
1:02:41
mounting part. You were doing that again?
1:02:43
Now we got the correct graphic. Okay,
1:02:45
put up the correct graphic for me.
1:02:47
Posh on the backside. We should have
1:02:49
a little competition. Who's going to bet
1:02:51
more? And it's going to get more
1:02:53
bets. The Canada, McDavid Point, Canada to win.
1:02:55
McCar Point. Crosby Point, Point, McKinnon,
1:02:57
Point. The four mounties, plus a
1:03:00
Canada win. and add that all up. What
1:03:02
are we talking here? I think that was
1:03:04
525 or plus 5002. So that's incredible. That's
1:03:06
your place for today. Chief, you're a big
1:03:09
gambler. You've been a gambler for a
1:03:11
long time. What do you got for us?
1:03:13
The people need some picks. I'm keeping it
1:03:15
simple with this one. I just have USA
1:03:17
to win. Jack Eigle anytime you parlay
1:03:19
that. It's plus four 60. So nice,
1:03:21
I feel like that's a nice little
1:03:23
return there. And I don't care if
1:03:25
he even hits. I just want a
1:03:27
USA win. That's all I care about.
1:03:29
This is a big game. Everybody's talking
1:03:31
about, you know, Biz. You got to simplify,
1:03:33
play on the wall, get greasy ones. Come
1:03:36
on and do it. USA is built for
1:03:38
that kind of game. I'm not sure that
1:03:40
Canada is. I want that smoke. Let's go
1:03:42
get it tonight. Lots of bets coming in
1:03:44
the chat. Now everyone's just highly
1:03:47
involved right now with their takes. Peruse
1:03:49

1:03:51
you like, ride with us, murals. Yeah, I
1:03:53
got our parley, the USA, me, me, Witt,
1:03:56
and Jans, you saw that, I will single
1:03:58
all of them as well, but my. other
1:04:00
play is I just came up with
1:04:02
it after hearing all these guys incredible
1:04:04
guests I'm going for it this guy
1:04:06
I needed him to score last game so
1:04:08
I'm a mush they usually score the next
1:04:11
game and they usually score right away
1:04:13
so I'm going Brady Chuck first goal plus
1:04:15
1800 put a hundred bucks on that
1:04:17
I got 1900 bucks if that hits
