1:42

that stuff all day you guys have

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.

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

48:44

McKinnon, a point, McDavid, a point, Macarb

48:47

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

we go. We want to start

49:22

with. News is trying to fuck

49:24

with us now army. I saw

49:26

that. You're my own Canadian. Canadian.

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

the chat, pick what you like, see what

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

1:04:19

I immediately take it over to the

1:04:21

on-core casino and I play craps all
