1:53

Hockey. And we got another win

1:56

to talk about, a 5 -2

1:58

Red Wings victory over the New Jersey

2:00

Devils. It was their B team, so

2:02

we're not gonna make too much of

2:04

a fuss about the win as a

2:06

whole, you know, considering the Devils playoff

2:08

matchup was locked up, the Red Wings

2:10

are eliminated. Talk more about just the

2:12

individual fun stuff, right, that we've been

2:14

focusing on in this, as this season

2:16

comes to a close final game tonight

2:18

by the time you're listening to this

2:20

in Toronto. So we'll talk

2:22

about all that in this hockey game

2:24

as well as give you a update

2:26

at the end about MBN and ASP

2:28

in GRG. So before we get

to that, gotta thank you guys for

making lockdown Red Wings, your first listen

2:35

every single day. We are available on

2:37

all platforms, including YouTube, part of the

2:39

2:41

Scotty, Red Wings, of course, as

2:44

previously stated, win five to

2:46

two in New Jersey, spoiling

2:48

their season finale, home finale

2:50

at that. What stood out

2:52

to you the most? What was your first

2:54

thought in this hockey game? Um...

2:59

You know, it was fine. I

3:01

didn't have too much of a

3:03

first thought to be honest like

3:05

I Yeah, like it was

3:08

fine again, this is a right

3:10

like this is a win against the

3:12

the devil's backups It was you

3:14

know, I'm glad they won I'd much

3:16

rather be talking about how they

3:18

beat the devil's backups than the alternative

3:20

They almost let them back into

3:22

it. It was probably got a little

3:24

bit closer than it should have

3:26

there about with however many five, six

3:29

minutes left in the game. But

3:31

yeah, like this was fine. I think

3:33

again, you know, as you kind

3:35

of mentioned off rip there, like this

3:37

is a point in the season

3:39

where, you know, wins,

3:41

losses, whatever. Like I'm looking for individual

3:43

performances and there was plenty to go over

3:46

in this game to be fair. So

3:48

good on them. Yeah, mean let's talk about

3:50

it to obviously I led with it

3:52

in the cold open Lucas Raymond has to

3:54

assist almost Man of Marco Casper. He

3:56

whiffed on that first attempt on the empty

3:58

net I thought he was gonna rob

4:00

Lucas Raymond of his 80th point when he

4:03

whiffed on that shot But he he

4:05

corralled it and buried it for his 19th

4:07

goal and we'll talk about that him

4:09

in the segment to here going into the

4:11

final game of the season But that

4:13

goal gave Lucas Raymond the primary assist giving

4:15

him 80 points on the season which

4:18

just When you look

4:20

for things with this hockey team, Scotty,

4:22

that give you hope and this

4:24

may fall on deaf ears for some

4:26

people because this is something that

4:28

we've been hammering year in and year

4:31

out after they get eliminated, right?

4:33

You look at the young players because

4:35

each and every year the young

4:37

players that we're focusing on and we're

4:39

talking about are taking another step

4:41

forward in their development. This is the

4:44

third straight season in which Lucas

4:46

Raymond has you know, taken a step

4:48

forward in his career. Last year,

4:50

he was so clutched down the stretch

4:52

for the Detroit Red Wings, was

4:54

the main reason their playoff hopes stayed

4:56

alive, having 72 points in 82

4:59

games, 31 goals, unlikely hits 30 goals

5:01

this season. But he does reach

5:03

80 points, which is eight more points

5:05

than he had last season with

5:07

an opportunity to finish at point per

5:09

game. Tomorrow if

5:12

you can get another two assists I'm

5:14

not trying to put that pressure on

5:16

him because that's asking for a lot

5:18

But that's five points in the final

5:20

in two of the final three games

5:22

of the season thus far He just

5:24

continues to be the best player on

5:26

this hockey team between him and cider

5:28

It's kind of a coin flip honestly

5:30

because cider's role is so different what's

5:32

asked for him But just 80 points

5:34

the first player to do it since

5:36

Henrik Zetterberg in 2011 I think that

5:38

says a lot about one Where

5:40

this Red Wings team has

5:43

been the last 15 years,

5:45

right? But also where it's

5:47

heading for sure. Yeah, you

5:49

know, I think the I

5:51

Don't want to play the

5:53

like Justin Herbert game where

5:55

it's just you know, people

5:58

are talking hypothetical situations and

6:00

ifs all the time with

6:02

him, but like if This

6:04

is a guy that if

6:06

you take away And

6:08

not even take away if

6:11

he even has mediocre production during

6:13

like the cold spell that

6:15

he had post four nations. I

6:17

mean, you're talking about a

6:19

guy that at some point his

6:22

career could even well eclipse

6:24

a point of game. And that's

6:26

super, super exciting. And when

6:28

you look at, you know, the

6:30

modern. the

6:32

modern cup contender in hockey

6:35

and how those rosters are

6:37

built and what those teams

6:39

need, you need a point

6:41

producer that is over at

6:43

least one, if not multiple, high

6:46

end point producers that are over a

6:48

point of game. And so for him

6:50

to be a guy that at this

6:52

young of an age already with the

6:54

potential to end a season at point

6:56

of game and to hit 80, It

6:59

gets you really excited about his

7:01

true ceiling, which hopefully is even

7:03

higher than what he's showing right

7:05

now. Yeah, I mean, when you

7:07

talk in deaf ears, right, because

7:09

they're limited from the playoffs, but

7:11

the things that went right for

7:13

this team this season Were the

7:16

Iserman draft picks and that's something

7:18

that we've praised Iserman for time

7:20

and time again as one of

7:22

his greatest strengths is amateur scouting

7:24

and development because Lucas Raymond is

7:26

your best offensive player 80 points

7:28

first to do it in 15

7:30

technically 14 years with the Detroit

7:32

Red Wings. He is your best

7:34

point producer on this hockey team,

7:36

and he's gotten better defensively too,

7:39

not that I ever expect him

7:41

to be, you know, a stellar

7:43

defensive forward, but he's not half

7:45

bad at that either, which does

7:47

help as well. Simon Edmondson,

7:49

another guy who reached a personal milestone, his first

7:51

full season the NHL. I know he's not

7:53

technically a rookie, but for all intents and purposes

7:55

he is. He had two assists in this

7:57

hockey game, had to reach 30

7:59

points as well. So

8:02

31 points now with two assists,

8:04

technically, for Simon Edmondson. He and

8:06

Morcitor are paired up yet again. And

8:08

they, I know you said their first

8:10

game back together, Edmondson kind of had

8:12

a rough game, but this was another

8:14

game where that pair was dominant. Scotty,

8:16

I'm gonna get nerdy on you. Well, let me give you

8:18

the stats people care about first, not the ones that only I

8:20

care about. Yeah, we don't

8:23

care about your nerd stats. Right. But.

8:25

Edmondson had 23 minutes on the ice. Moritz

8:28

Seider had 24 and a quarter on the

8:30

ice in this hockey game, led the team. Seider

8:32

and Edmondson both had two assists in

8:35

this hockey game. Both were A plus

8:37

4. I don't care about plus minus.

8:39

a terrible stat. Even Todd McClellan said

8:41

it's a terrible stat. Edmondson had three

8:43

shots. They both had multiple block shots.

8:46

They are... A really good top pair

8:48

and they have got to be your

8:50

top pair next season Which again kind

8:52

of adds to the downside of either

8:54

Eiserman's tenure so far, which is filling

8:56

out the roster With pieces from outside

8:58

the organization He needs to add a

9:00

top four defenseman of some kind so

9:02

that those two can play together because

9:04

when they do play together They're so

9:06

good and here we go the advanced

9:08

analytics in this hockey game Scotty back

9:10

that up bang here we go Simon

9:13

Evanson had a 71 expected goals

9:15

4 % in Jet 5 on

9:17

5. Moritz Seider had a 67 %

9:19

expected goals. crazy. Those are

9:21

wild numbers. Those are wild numbers. And again,

9:24

this was the devil's B team, right? So

9:26

you take all of this with a grain

9:28

of salt, but I do want to add

9:30

to that mix, Scotty. How many offensive zone

9:32

shift starts do you think they had as

9:34

a pair? Oh,

9:37

zero. You're right.

9:40

They had those great numbers with

9:42

zero offensive zone shift starts. They

9:44

had a fantastic game. They need

9:46

to be your defensive pair, top

9:48

defensive pair next year. So I

9:50

could go on and on. I

9:52

need to give you an opportunity

9:54

to give feedback here. But like

9:56

it's, you look at reasons that

9:58

have hope this team still is

10:00

heading in the right direction. It's

10:02

the young players that are developing

10:04

and having an impact. They just

10:06

have to surround these guys with

10:08

impactful, like actually surround them with

10:11

complimentary veterans from free agency and

10:13

trade. No more of this just

10:15

like signing a guy to score

10:17

11 goals. Right, for

10:19

sure. What I think that, man,

10:22

like the blue line,

10:24

the amount of different directions.

10:27

You can kind of go with

10:29

the blue line this summer is

10:31

really fascinating to me And I'm

10:33

sure we'll have plenty and plenty

10:35

and plenty and plenty of conversations

10:37

about that This offseason at probably

10:39

yeah a lot of times, but

10:41

I am just so fascinated with

10:43

You know, do you go all

10:46

in on the dominant top pair

10:48

and just give them a ton

10:50

of minutes? I think You

10:52

can pull that off to your point

10:54

if you surround them and if your

10:56

depth isn't absolutely awful the reason that

10:58

they were split up was because If

11:00

you were to do that on this

11:02

year's team the bottom four would be

11:05

you know almost unplayable so like I

11:07

I'm really fascinated with how the roster

11:09

construction is going to be in that

11:11

regard going forward but Yeah,

11:14

man, like obviously the two of them together

11:16

pretty much every time they've played together all

11:18

year, no matter who was coach, have

11:20

been absolutely dominant. And

11:22

hopefully that is something that

11:24

can continue going forward. Yeah,

11:27

absolutely. And Scotty, just

11:29

to add a little feather in the

11:32

cap of their performance tonight, Simon Edinson.

11:34

It was the fourth best skater according

11:36

to hockey stack cards of all the

11:38

games tonight with a game score of

11:40

350 he and Simon Edmondson I'm sorry

11:42

He and Mort Sider rather were the

11:44

top two skaters for the Red Wings

11:47

by a large margin as well if

11:49

you go check out hockey stack cards,

11:51

so Multiple things to help supplement what

11:53

we saw on the ice with those

11:55

two guys in tonight's game both having

11:57

two assists One of which off of

11:59

Simon Edmondson's skate was definitely looked badass,

12:01

but I don't think was intentional I

12:04

agree. I, you know, I don't really

12:06

care though. We're going to pretend like

12:08

it was because I mean, you know,

12:10

why not? Yeah, it was sick. So

12:12

why not? But yeah, definitely not on

12:14

purpose. Scott, we'll head to a

12:17

quick break when we return. We'll talk

12:19

about other players who reached milestones or at

12:21

least came close to them before giving

13:17

two locked on Red

13:19

Wings podcast Scotty, I think

13:21

that the next player

13:24

that kind of deserves You

13:26

know mention here give

13:28

their their individual accolade rose

13:30

so to speak would

13:32

be Dylan Larkin who achieved

13:35

his fourth consecutive 30

13:37

goal season Yeah, of course

13:39

and and It is

13:41

um We

13:44

love Larkin obviously and the

13:46

all aroundness that he brings this

13:48

lineup and 30 goals, obviously

13:50

if another season is great. And

13:52

I think the most important

13:55

thing for Larkin really this year

13:57

was just staying on the

13:59

ice. That's been something that's

14:01

been kind of hit or miss the

14:03

last few years. So I'm glad

14:05

that he was able to stay on

14:07

the ice for almost all of

14:09

this season. And yeah,

14:11

man, like I think Ultimately, everyone

14:15

is aware of his

14:17

talent and how good he

14:19

is. It really just

14:21

goes back to the same

14:23

conversation we had before the break,

14:25

which was not only surrounding

14:28

him, but surrounding all of the

14:30

core players on this team

14:32

with legitimate NHL producers, because that

14:34

seems to be a lot

14:36

easier said than done. But yeah,

14:38

obviously great for Larks. Yeah,

14:42

long way from from from the mid first

14:44

round pick out of a U of M

14:46

Yeah, that top line needs one more winger

14:48

right now obviously you have came in to

14:50

Brinkett and Casper tearing it up on the

14:52

second line But you have a rotation of

14:55

guys on that top line who are not

14:57

top line wingers Berger scored again, and we

14:59

love that for him, but Let's face reality

15:01

here. He's not a top line scoring winger

15:03

So you need to go out and get

15:05

somebody who can have an impact and bring

15:07

the play of that entire line up so

15:09

they all see the benefits Obviously, there's a

15:11

cup big names on the market this year

15:13

and Mitch Marner and Brock Besser and if

15:15

you're Steve Iserman I think you really got

15:17

to take a hard look at those guys

15:19

But we'll talk about that when you get

15:22

when we officially get to the offseason. We'll

15:24

have a lot of time to talk about

15:26

hypotheticals So but yeah, I do agree with

15:28

you Scotty that while it's great that Larkin

15:30

scored his 30th goal for the fourth consecutive

15:32

season. His point totals are

15:34

pretty consistent, right? A little bit

15:36

down this season, obviously, just getting

15:38

to 70 points, where you were

15:40

hoping he'd be closer to 80s.

15:43

Just came short of 82 seasons

15:45

ago with 79 points, but...

15:47

He gave you 30 goals again.

15:49

He's gonna give you 35 to

15:51

45 assists every single year He

15:53

was the captain. I think that

15:55

cold spell just like with Lucas

15:57

Raymond after the four nations break

15:59

really hurt his Final numbers on

16:01

the season Both

16:03

he and Raymond got to find a way

16:05

to break through and stay more consistent. But

16:07

staying on the ice for 82 games, like

16:09

you said, is the biggest thing. Was it

16:12

82? Did he play fully? Assuming

16:14

he plays. Assuming he plays tomorrow. Yeah.

16:16

It'll be the full 82. And only the

16:18

second time in his career, he's played a full

16:20

82 game season. That's a big deal. And

16:22

yeah, that's going to matter. matter a

16:24

bunch for this team going forward if he

16:27

can stay on the ice and stay healthy.

16:29

So thankfully, he did this season. Knock on

16:31

wood that he plays tomorrow or tonight by

16:33

the time you're listening to this. But yeah,

16:35

I was happy that Larkin got that 30th

16:37

goal just so you could say you're a

16:39

30 goal scorer yet again. Again, it doesn't

16:41

matter. It doesn't matter. It's

16:43

all individual milestones, but I was happy for him

16:45

regardless. Yeah. The

16:48

next guy on the list, Marco Casper

16:50

got his 19th goal, Scotty. Got us 19th

16:52

on the empty matter that he almost

16:54

missed on. Give me 20. Why

16:56

not? Here's what we

16:58

need. We need to have a three to nothing

17:00

win over the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow. We're not

17:02

even to give them a goal. Merazix is going

17:04

to get the shutout. We're going get

17:06

two. Hold on. It's

17:09

Casper. It's Cat.

17:13

Or is it two Cat? It's two

17:15

cats get him there we go. There

17:17

we go. scored in this one got

17:19

the 38 both he and Larkin shots

17:21

for those goals were so beautiful And

17:23

like I know it's is you know

17:25

trademark or whatever you want to say

17:27

I know that it's this isn't like

17:30

a new thing I'm teaching people but

17:32

like his release is just so unbelievably

17:34

quick man like that shot is when

17:36

you really saw it I mean Puck

17:38

was literally in the back of

17:40

the net before Gold tender even

17:42

reacted in any capacity. He's he's

17:45

got quick hands, man Yeah, it

17:47

was a fantastic shot and I'm

17:49

again rooting for him to get

17:51

the 40 because again the wings

17:53

haven't had a 40 goal score

17:55

since 2009 and Mary with Mary

17:57

and hosa So it'd be cool

17:59

mile sewn to have easy dude.

18:01

That's so wild And then what

18:03

imagine if you if you were

18:05

told that in 2009 Imagine

18:09

if you were told

18:11

in 2009, coming off of

18:13

back -to -back cup appearances, hey,

18:17

you're not going to have a 40 -goal

18:19

score for, you know, maybe the next 20

18:21

years almost. At least

18:23

the next 15, unless Cat scores

18:26

twice in game 82. I

18:28

would be, I'd be like, no way.

18:30

Like, so I'd probably

18:32

say at that time it's going to

18:34

be Johann Fronson. Yeah, but I legitimately

18:36

I agree with you. I agree with

18:38

you, which is in hindsight obviously wild

18:40

But like in that moment I I

18:42

completely agree. I think most people I

18:45

don't want to speak for for the

18:47

fan base here, but I think a

18:49

lot of people Oh, we're coming in

18:51

that boat as well Yeah, and then

18:53

after that I thought for a second

18:55

it might be mantha And that did

18:57

not pan. I thought I that was

18:59

one of my first ever locked on

19:01

Redwings takes was that mantha was gonna

19:03

be I forget exactly what

19:05

it was. It was something ridiculous

19:07

though. It was like 35 or 40

19:09

goals. Maybe it was like point

19:11

of game. It was something egregiously awful.

19:15

So yeah, I was certainly big on

19:17

that on that wagon for sure. I

19:19

mean, was it to tar had

19:21

29 goals one year? Nyquist

19:23

came close as well. Well,

19:25

not that he ever got close to,

19:27

you know, like that hype of milestone, but

19:30

Anthony see you at one point people

19:32

thought We're like, okay, he's not

19:34

going to play defense at all. But, you

19:36

know, if he can, if he can

19:38

put up a 30 goals season, then they're

19:40

like, it's worth it. That was always

19:42

the conversation around AA for sure. 2019, the

19:44

first year Larkin scored 30 goals was

19:46

also the year Athanasio scored 30 goals. And

19:48

I was right there with you. I

19:50

was like, he's got silky mitts. He's going

19:53

to, he's going to just score a

19:55

bunch of goals. And then he got sent

19:57

down to the AHL this season on

19:59

the Chicago Blackhawks. Right. Well, he is, he

20:01

still has like offensive production in his

20:03

game. He is, And I do not say

20:05

this lightly. I genuinely mean this. He

20:07

is one of the least effective defensive forwards

20:09

I've literally ever seen in my life.

20:11

Yeah, he's just giving up trying. He is

20:13

not just, like, defensively irresponsible. He

20:15

is defensively non -existent. It

20:18

is mind -boggling, yeah. It's

20:20

crazy to go from 30 goals

20:22

in the NHL to playing in the

20:24

AHL on... for the worst NHL

20:26

organization in the league. But

20:29

anyways, we digress majorly. JT

20:31

Comfort scored in this game

20:33

as did Jonathan Berger in both

20:35

short side snipes. One blocker

20:37

side, one glove side for each

20:39

respective player. They, you know,

20:41

was a good shot for both of them. I'm happy

20:44

they both scored. That's all I got to say about

20:46

that. Yeah,

20:48

no, I agree. I mean,

20:50

you know, cool. Do

20:52

you want to talk about officiating? Let's

20:54

do it. Okay. It doesn't

20:57

matter. The wings won and the

20:59

game doesn't matter. But Scotty,

21:01

what is gold tender interference? It's

21:05

a great question. It's

21:08

a great

21:10

question. You know,

21:12

it's funny because the the

21:14

Tigers had a crazy Bawk

21:17

that was like very obviously

21:19

a balk for the Brewers that

21:21

was then called not a

21:23

balk too. So I feel like

21:25

I was kind of losing

21:27

my mind today and I understand

21:29

on the replay that JT

21:31

Comfort did make contact with it

21:33

was a dues glove Dawes

21:35

Dawes glove, but I if that's

21:38

enough to impede your ability

21:40

to make the save like You

21:42

weren't making that save dude I

21:44

agree. No, I think it's, I

21:46

think it's egregious. Yeah, I don't

21:49

disagree for sure. It was such

21:51

soft contact. And then the interference

21:53

penalty on Rasmussen, where he as

21:55

the puck carrier got hit and

21:57

Dumalin then crashed into Dawes. So

21:59

Rasmussen never made contact with the

22:01

gold tender. Dumalin initiated

22:03

contact and took out

22:06

his own guy. And

22:08

then Rasmussen, I'm sorry, Edvinson rather, got

22:10

the interference. I was like, what

22:12

are we doing? What is happening doesn't

22:14

matter wings one the game means

22:16

nothing But NHL officiating get your shit

22:18

together. Let's let's go. Come on.

22:20

You get the playoffs right around the

22:22

corner Yeah, you know, we've been

22:24

asking for that for a while. Well,

22:26

you know, what's funny is the

22:28

moment the palette the Playoffs start the

22:30

if the whistles are gonna go

22:32

away like the NHL officiating in in

22:34

the playoffs is non -existent so If

22:36

you're getting warmed up put the

22:38

whistles away, what are we doing? Right,

22:40

right? Anyways, we gotta do

22:43

another quick break. I'm pretty much done talking about this

22:45

game. It was fun looking at the milestones, but there's

22:47

not much else to cover. So we

22:49

can talk about the ASPM NBN update on the

22:51

other side of this break as well as give

22:53

you the briefest preview you've probably ever heard. You've

22:55

24:31

Lockdown Red Wings podcast. Scotty,

24:36

MBN and ASP, we got

24:38

the news we were waiting

24:40

on when they'll make their

24:42

AHL debuts with the Grand

24:44

Rapids. Griffin, it's gonna

24:46

be Friday at

24:48

8 p .m. I

24:50

will be watching this hockey game, Scotty.

24:52

Are you going to be watching this

24:54

game? You're dang right, brother. No, yeah. I'm

24:58

super excited. And

25:00

again, it's so cool because

25:02

it's not only is it

25:05

their debuts, it's then looking

25:07

ahead. They're going to

25:09

be in some really competitive, high -intensity

25:11

hockey games, really meaningful hockey games

25:13

for that team. It's super awesome,

25:15

yeah. But it all starts Friday,

25:17

baby. Yep. And again, you can

25:19

watch those games on Flow Hockey

25:22

legally. That is the legal way

25:24

to watch those games on Flow

25:26

Hockey. It is $30 a month.

25:29

I think $150 for the year, but I'll

25:31

be getting the monthly subscription and probably

25:33

canceling it after the Gryffins are eliminated slash

25:35

win the Calder Cup. Yeah, dude. They're

25:37

not eliminated. When they win.

25:39

When they lift the Calder Cup. So

25:41

that's how you can check that game

25:43

out. Scotty, we got

25:45

Toronto tonight. Whoa

25:49

Like are they gonna play anyone?

25:53

Hopefully not that way we can

25:55

keep adding those stats and

25:57

get those milestones. Whoa. Yeah Are

25:59

you excited? I I'm

26:01

I'm thrilled man. I'm just

26:04

this is the highlight of my

26:06

year Yeah, dude, like I

26:08

can't it's already been pretty good.

26:10

I don't even know how

26:12

many of their Tom got

26:14

like Marner just hit 100 points. Matthews hit,

26:16

uh, whatever, 400 like career goals. Like I

26:19

don't even know, I don't even know how,

26:21

how many of these guys are, are going

26:23

to play. Uh, I guess it depends on

26:25

if they're in a battle for seeding or

26:27

if their matchups are already set or whatever.

26:29

But, um, yeah, if they

26:31

play their players, they have one of the

26:33

best rosters in the NHL consistently year

26:35

in and year out. And this year is

26:38

no different. They've actually got great goalie

26:40

play this season. So. that's kind

26:42

of been their Achilles heel

26:44

for a for a while and

26:46

Yeah, like they're they're solid

26:48

and and a really really good

26:50

offense when they are all

26:52

on the ice so But they

26:54

likely won't all be on

26:56

the ice. I would imagine probably

26:58

gonna be sitting most of

27:00

the starters just an opportunity to

27:02

pat some stats and then

27:04

the pain is over Right, then

27:06

the suffering ends and we

27:08

can move on to offseason content

27:11

So I guess I guess with this

27:13

extra a little bit extra time

27:15

here we can kind of Let you

27:17

guys know how this will play

27:19

out, right? Because with the Griffin's making

27:21

the playoffs will be covering it

27:24

similarly to last season where we will

27:26

Be covering the Grand Rapids Griffin's

27:28

playoffs like we would a Red Wings

27:30

game, right 30 -minute episode recaps for

27:32

as long as you're in the

27:34

playoffs because Red Wings aren't in

27:36

the playoffs, so we need something to talk about. As

27:39

well as in off

27:41

days, we'll be doing

27:43

season recaps where we

27:45

will evaluate players' performances

27:47

on the season. You

27:50

already talked about players who may

27:52

stay, may go, but we might

27:54

mix that back in, too, because,

27:56

you know, again, season. No, but

27:58

it's different, too, because we'll like,

28:00

actual roster decisions being made. you

28:04

know, uh, decisions with, with

28:06

RFA players, obviously that the

28:09

UFA guys, those decisions are,

28:11

um, a little, uh,

28:14

more public as well. But then you,

28:16

you know, like arbitration stuff, like there,

28:18

there, yeah, there's so much conversation to

28:20

be had for sure. And then as

28:22

we get closer to the draft, we'll

28:25

do prospect profiles as always and free

28:27

agent profiles because right after the draft

28:29

is free agency. And there is

28:31

one player that I did not realize

28:33

was such a controversial player to want

28:35

to bring to the Red Wings. And

28:37

we'll talk about that 100 -point score

28:39

at a later date. So

28:42

stay tuned. Scotty, any final thoughts, brother?

28:45

I don't think so, man. We ball.

28:47

Let's end the season on W. Oh

28:49

tank a thumb. Let's do that real

28:51

quick Scotty. Are we still doing Are

28:53

we gonna do it nine for every

28:55

year the ratings have missed the playoffs

28:57

the ninth one's gonna be the official

28:59

I Feel like we got to pick

29:01

a different number. Okay, go

29:04

ahead pick a

29:06

number. Oh, dude Don't

29:08

pick a ridiculously

29:10

high number, please 326

29:13

So thanks for making lockdown Red

29:15

Wings your first listen every

29:18

day. We'll be back with episode

29:20

on Give me give me

29:22

give me number six. That's the

29:24

number. I always War growing

29:26

up. Okay, okay line. Ah,

29:28

that makes sense. All

29:30

right one State at 12

29:32

to state at 12

29:34

3 state at 12 4

29:37

state at 12 5

29:39

state at 12 6 state

29:41

at 12 so Again,

29:44

there's really no point in not

29:46

winning because they're not going to

29:48

move up in the lottery. Correcto.

29:52

We'll be back on Monday recapping, or

29:54
