2:35

My name is David Bean. I

2:37

said, Pete Blackburn, across this insane

2:40

Oilers-themed room we are in. Is

2:42

Sean DePaz. Hey Sean Depaz. Hi

2:44

Pete, hello David. How are we?

2:46

We are recording this on Sunday

2:49

March 30th in Canada and the

2:51

United States and we are just

2:53

wrapping up. This is I guess

2:56

the last thing that we're doing

2:58

workwise in Edmonton. We've already done

3:00

so much we will tease a

3:02

little bit of it including maybe

3:05

the biggest guest in show history

3:07

coming tomorrow, but first let's discuss.

3:09

All that, or actually, fuck me.

3:11

First, why don't you tell the

3:13

folks it's on the show, Pete?

3:15

Oh, there you go. I would

3:17

love to do that. It's as

3:19

much different when I don't have

3:22

a screen to look at when

3:24

it pops up. After me for

3:26

a loop two, I was like,

3:28

I just got into it. God

3:30

damn it, DJ. Today on the

3:32

show, we have Leon going god

3:34

mode, because Leon Dry Sidal, he

3:36

did make his return when we

3:38

visited the battle of Alberta. And

3:41

we got everything we could have

3:43

wanted and more. We're gonna get

3:45

some mall talk. You've been, you've

3:47

been around for small talk, but

3:49

what about mall talk? We went

3:51

to the West Edmonton Mall. It

3:53

was crazy. Well fill in. Kucharov,

3:55

coming for Mac. People talking about

3:57

McKinnon versus Dry Sidal, who's gonna

4:00

get MVP this year? And we're

4:02

talking about McKinnon versus Kucharov for

4:04

second place. because the MVP is

4:06

definitely Leon. And then Eastern redo.

4:08

Redo. Redox, I did. Huh? Redox.

4:10

I don't know, but isn't that

4:12

how you spell, you don't say

4:14

redox, do you? I thought it

4:17

was redo. I think it's redox.

4:19

Is it like, is it like,

4:21

Doha? Yeah, like how Jason, Darulo's

4:23

name is spelled, Jason, D-E-S. like

4:25

R-E-A-L-E-O-U-X type of thing? I don't

4:27

think anybody knows, but we're basically

4:29

the the meat of that is

4:31

the Eastern Conference wildcard race is

4:33

happening again. It's redox. We do.

4:36

It is a pronunciation confirmation. It's

4:38

redox. Yeah, we're getting one in

4:40

the Eastern Conference. So we'll give

4:42

you that up. Let's start by

4:44

just kind of catching everybody up

4:46

on this insane Edmonton Edmonton trip.

4:48

We've done so much and the

4:50

highlight of it was going to

4:53

be. This battle of Alberta game

4:55

Saturday night between the Flames and

4:57

the Oilers we told you all

4:59

along Leon was going to play

5:01

he did and I will say

5:03

with all the love in my

5:05

heart that the first 55 minutes

5:07

of that game was the most

5:09

Boring hockey game I've ever seen

5:12

relative to what it was supposed

5:14

to be Yeah, I mean, it

5:16

was not to the most boring

5:18

hockey game ever, but like when

5:20

you're talking about Battle of Alberta,

5:22

like the building was sleepy, the

5:24

hockey was messy, it was not,

5:26

I was a little bit worried.

5:29

I was like, God damn it,

5:31

we came here, we had two

5:33

Oilers games on the schedule, the

5:35

away game versus the crack in,

5:37

they got absolutely smoked. And if

5:39

we get an absolute dud of

5:41

a battle of, Battle of Alberta,

5:43

what did we come here for?

5:45

But the final five minutes of

5:48

that game, Like everything we could

5:50

have who could have wanted sorry

5:52

to flames fans but man seeing

5:54

the Oilers make that final push

5:56

and then Leon gets two goals

5:58

the game tying goal and the

6:00

game winning goal in overtime he

6:02

hits that place, the roof pops

6:04

off, it is unbelievable. The Oilers

6:07

get a massive, massive win on

6:09

the same night where the Kings

6:11

lose. Like, all of it just

6:13

came together in a five to

6:15

10 minutes ban. That's the Oilers

6:17

experience, where, I mean, with five

6:19

minutes left, I was asking myself,

6:21

what could happen for the rest

6:24

of this game that will make

6:26

us leave and be like, that

6:28

was awesome. Because, like I said,

6:30

relative to what it could be.

6:32

That game was like a zero

6:34

out of 10 energy wise, interest

6:36

wise. The most interesting thing about

6:38

that game to that point was

6:40

that Calvin Pickard just played well,

6:43

which is nice. Corey Perry punched

6:45

a guy. Corey Perry punched a

6:47

guy. Darnell Nurse did a keep

6:49

yapping thing. There were a couple

6:51

of nice little moments there, but

6:53

Leon, who had eight goals, I'm

6:55

sorry, eight shots on goal in

6:57

the game, scoring his 50th to

7:00

tie it. And then. Just waiting

7:02

out Dustin Wolf in overtime 51

7:04

also set the single season record

7:06

for overtime goals Unbelievable the guy

7:08

absolutely rocks. I don't need to

7:10

do the so he's MVP thing

7:12

But this guy misses multiple games

7:14

comes back. He's still only five

7:16

points back of the new points

7:19

leader who we will discuss in

7:21

just a minute and like that

7:23

is the you said before the

7:25

show just like backpack mode. Yeah,

7:27

I mean he, it was very

7:29

obvious how badly they missed him

7:31

when he was out of the

7:33

lineup. It was very obvious how,

7:35

how they needed to get back

7:38

up to speed when they spent

7:40

the first couple periods of that

7:42

game. Like Leon didn't look very

7:44

good for the first couple periods

7:46

of that game. It was not

7:48

amazing. A couple of errand passes.

7:50

Nobody really looked amazing in that

7:52

game for the first 40 minutes.

7:55

And again, like the bigger part

7:57

for me was the atmosphere. Like

7:59

people were saying, Battle of Alberta

8:01

is comparable to a playoff game

8:03

around these parts and really the

8:05

building just did. didn't have much

8:07

through the first like two thirds

8:09

of that game. Respectfully it felt

8:11

like every Bruins game I've been

8:14

to this season which is like

8:16

hey like we hope something cool

8:18

happens but nothing's really going on

8:20

right now and I mean I've

8:22

this is the third Oilers game

8:24

in Edmonton I've attended the other

8:26

two were games three and four

8:28

of the cup final so unfair

8:31

comparison but I was just like

8:33

a no like I mean I

8:35

watched the games on TV I

8:37

know it's crazier than this I

8:39

know that people get wild and

8:41

It was, yeah, I mean, like,

8:43

how could that have ended better

8:45

than getting to see Leon hit

8:47

50, which is the best? Like,

8:50

he scores that goal, we're all

8:52

screaming, that's 50, amazing. And then

8:54

51 and O.T. It is. Absolutely

8:56

stuff. I ran home after, just

8:58

so I could, or the hotel

9:00

after, just so I could hear,

9:02

like, how did Jack Michael's call

9:04

that? Why are we not doing

9:07

more divisional rival? We match up

9:09

during the regular season because like

9:11

Battle of Alberta you're only getting

9:13

that what three times a year?

9:15

And it's like who's kicking the

9:17

rest of that out of bed?

9:19

Fix the schedule so we can

9:21

get more of those games like

9:23

it feels like Battle of Alberta

9:26

always delivers even if it's just

9:28

at the very end and it

9:30

was pretty magical to even if

9:32

it was just like a very

9:34

small period of time pretty magical

9:36

to get that experience and just

9:38

like be a part of it

9:40

be right in the thick of

9:42

things. It was pretty awesome. I

9:45

mean, yeah, I agree that the

9:47

beginning of the game wasn't all

9:49

that interesting, but I still like

9:51

was having fun. Oh, yeah. The

9:53

first flyer, like the Flyers goals

9:55

were pretty nice goals. The first

9:57

one was a pretty bad rebound,

9:59

but, or Flames, yes, excuse me.

10:02

But it was fun. I was

10:04

just like, being a neutral, I

10:06

wasn't really a neutral, I was

10:08

pretty actively rooting for the Oilers,

10:10

but yeah, I like that the

10:12

building, like the actual physical physical

10:14

building itself was quite the experience,

10:16

was quite the experience, including some

10:18

things that are incredibly poorly planned.

10:21

massive escalator that goes over the

10:23

top that I did not enjoy.

10:25

Concourses were a little bit of

10:27

an adventure but once I was

10:29

on the seat it was fun

10:31

time. Yeah the concourse on the

10:33

level we were on which is

10:35

like the higher level, 200 level,

10:38

is just like I was saying

10:40

it's some like Titanic shit or

10:42

they're like the the people who

10:44

don't have the crazy good seats

10:46

need to have at least some

10:48

sort of little obstacle here. So

10:50

man like intermission... That shit was

10:52

a battlefield out there. Hacked, absolutely

10:54

nuts. Although we're pros, so we

10:57

were mastering the TV Time Out

10:59

bathroom runs. I did not get

11:01

the chicken fingers, you did, did

11:03

we get any review? It was

11:05

$20 Canadian for three chicken tenders,

11:07

and they were just like pretty

11:09

stock. And you could have got

11:11

like a full beef roast for

11:13

$21. Yeah, so chicken tend to

11:16

degrade at Roger's place. I got,

11:18

we just did a bunch of

11:20

candy and snacks, but mainly when

11:22

we were walking by the concession

11:24

stand, the only one that we

11:26

could get to without getting run

11:28

over, I saw that they had

11:30

some, I did not see souvenir

11:33

cups, I confirmed, they did not

11:35

have souvenir cups, they did have

11:37

a Zamboni thing, like a big

11:39

plastic Zamboni, and when I say

11:41

big, I mean like pretty big,

11:43

like bigger than whatever souvenir cup

11:45

you'd be getting. We're talking like.

11:47

It was like one of those

11:49

chicken tenders and bonies basically. Yeah,

11:52

it did not say anywhere what

11:54

it was for or what it

11:56

did. As I was waiting in

11:58

line, I was looking like nobody

12:00

was getting it. I was like,

12:02

are these just here for decoration?

12:04

So you get to the front,

12:06

I say, is something served in

12:09

that? And they said, oh, well,

12:11

it's for the popcorn combo, which

12:13

is $35. And if you get

12:15

a popcorn combo. And if you

12:17

get a popcorn combo. And I

12:19

said, what are the drink options?

12:21

And they were like, what are

12:23

you talking about? You don't get

12:25

it. The combo was just you

12:28

get popcorn and then you give

12:30

them $35 and they give you

12:32

a toy. So kind of a

12:34

happy meal. Famously happy meals have

12:36

drinks. I was still like, oh,

12:38

I ended up spending $60 to

12:40

just get this. How'd it go

12:42

from 35 to 60? Because I

12:44

also got candy. DJ's also famously

12:47

no stranger to getting fucked by

12:49

popcorn people at NHL arenas. was

12:51

very ignorant to the whole situation.

12:53

And she was so nice, she

12:55

could have absolutely been like, oh,

12:57

and now it's $70. I've been

12:59

like, right, because of Canada, U.S.D.

13:01

Got it. But I don't know

13:04

what I'm gonna do with it,

13:06

but I now have a plastic

13:08

Zamboni. So that's that. Other than

13:10

that, like, wasn't really crushing concessions.

13:12

I liked the brass band that

13:14

was happening in the game. That

13:16

was a lot of fun. We

13:18

saw Corey Perry Perry. It was

13:20

a really strong experience. So shout

13:23

out Battle of Alberta, shout out

13:25

Roger's place. Under Biden, Americans' cost

13:27

of living skyrocketed. Food, housing, auto

13:29

insurance. Lawsuit abuse is a big

13:31

reason everything's more expensive today. Fivalous

13:33

lawsuits cost working Americans over $4,000

13:35

a year in hidden taxes. President

13:37

Trump understands the problem. That's why

13:40

he supports loser pays legislation to

13:42

stop lawsuit abuse and put thousands

13:44

back in the pockets of hardworking

13:46

Americans. It's time to make America

13:48

affordable again. It's time to support

13:50

the President's plan. You set the

14:28

a, I would say a, hmm,

14:30

I'm trying to give a Rogers

14:32

Place grade. Ooh, it's tough for

14:35

me to do it. I mean,

14:37

like, regular season game grade, that

14:39

still is such an A, even

14:41

though most of it. was you're

14:43

kind of waiting for something to

14:45

happen. But you say, hey, we

14:47

went to an Oilers game in

14:49

Edmonton and Leon Dry-Sidal said, like,

14:51

let me cut these lights off.

14:54

It absolutely did that. It's like

14:56

the A-plussest of A-But I'm just

14:58

talking about from like the actual,

15:00

like, the arena itself. I would

15:02

say, it's, I mean, it is

15:04

a massive, massive arena. It's, I

15:06

think. If I had to guess,

15:08

like just based off of eyeballing

15:11

it, ballparking it. Power conversation. Montreal,

15:13

power of conversation, Montreal number one

15:15

in terms of size and like

15:17

scale. I feel like Oilers maybe

15:19

two, but I would say it's

15:21

an A with some logistical nightmares.

15:23

Yeah, it feels though like an,

15:25

like there isn't an inch wasted

15:27

though, which is cool. Like I

15:30

like, I took a few pictures

15:32

of it and I famously, I'm

15:34

not great at taking pictures taking

15:36

pictures. but it all looks so

15:38

sick because there's just seats everywhere.

15:40

People everywhere, lights everywhere, incredible. Surprisingly,

15:42

it's only the 14th largest Natal

15:44

Arena by capacity. Is that right?

15:47

According to Wikipedia, behind like, even

15:49

like Buffalo's Key Bank Center, behind

15:51

the Saddle Dome, Little Caesars. A

15:53

bunch of them. Yeah, but I

15:55

mean, I'm willing to guarantee that

15:57

like they have more seats, but

15:59

they don't feel like the scale

16:01

is as big. Yeah, it felt

16:03

massive. It felt crazy. We also

16:06

did a bonkers pro shop. that's

16:08

going to come your way at

16:10

some point. And I mean, that

16:12

store was huge. We spent so

16:14

much time in there, absolutely loaded

16:16

up, completely freaked it, so many

16:18

good items. I'll tip our hand

16:20

a little bit and say, like,

16:22

jackets happened. It is an insane

16:25

store, way better than I left

16:27

it last June. That's coming your

16:29

way. Do we tease? I mean,

16:31

we should just say who we

16:33

have on tomorrow show? Yeah. Right

16:35

before this, we sat down with

16:37

our first boiler player ever. Tomorrow

16:39

on the show, Zach Hyman, and

16:42

he was incredible. He, do we

16:44

say what he did? With the-

16:46

No, let's leave that as a

16:48

little bit of a mystery, but

16:50

like, White Whale guest, he was,

16:52

what chaos is player of the

16:54

year last year? Definitely. So it

16:56

was awesome to get him, first

16:58

Oilers player that we've gotten. lived

17:01

up to our expectations. It's great

17:03

sit down. Definitely tune in tomorrow.

17:05

It'll be, I think people will

17:07

be happy. Other things that we

17:09

did in Edmonton, had donnares, donair

17:11

grade A. Add green onion cakes.

17:13

A. Green onion cake grade A.

17:15

It's a spicy scallion pancake, but

17:18

better. It's an elevated scallion pancake.

17:20

Unbelievable. Shout out oodle noodle. That

17:22

was a blast. We went thrifting.

17:24

on White Street and White Ave.

17:26

White Ave. I'm sorry and got

17:28

some major scores. I got a

17:30

team Europe Jersey which has been

17:32

a you want to talk about

17:34

White Wales. I've wanted a Leon

17:37

Dry Saddle team Europe Jersey forever.

17:39

There was a blank in my

17:41

size that Sean found gonna send

17:43

I immediately DMed our guy Ben

17:45

and I was like you're ready

17:47

to turn this into a Leon

17:49

Dry Saddle Jersey. He was confirmed.

17:51

He was probably like knee deep

17:54

in. wag jackets, but we're still

17:56

like, yes. Oh, hell yes. That,

17:58

I mean, that is just. if

18:00

I believe in fate, if I

18:02

didn't believe in fate, I do

18:04

now because to find it in

18:06

your size here, of all places,

18:08

for the Leon Dry Settle Jersey

18:10

on the day in which Leon

18:13

Dry Sidal has like a massive

18:15

moment, the biggest moment that he's

18:17

probably had this season, like that

18:19

is just so perfect. I mean,

18:21

how can you not believe in

18:23

God? I came all the way

18:25

at the Edmonton to find a

18:27

San Jose sharks and Detroit red

18:29

wings t-shirts. And I just got

18:32

a cool jacket. You got that

18:34

sharks one, right? Yeah, the sharks

18:36

on the red ones. Incredible. Yeah,

18:38

they're solid. So check us getting

18:40

fitted. We also got that sharks

18:42

one, right? Yeah, the sharks and

18:44

the red ones. Incredible. Yeah, they're

18:46

solid. So check us getting fitted.

18:49

We're from. with us. We found

18:51

that he is a big power

18:53

of conversation guy, which means when

18:55

you're trying to figure something out

18:57

and you're with a group of

18:59

people, don't just look it up

19:01

on your phone. Talk. Think about

19:03

it. Love that move. If you

19:05

got nowhere to be, it's amazing.

19:08

He does it on like information

19:10

shows, which is very, very funny

19:12

and gives me a good laugh.

19:14

But yeah, power of conversation. Was

19:16

this. I think this was it

19:18

is the second biggest and the

19:20

biggest one is in Dubai Iran

19:22

so so it was it was

19:25

Iran that's what they he looked

19:27

up but if based on gross

19:29

leastable area which is what the

19:31

week Wikipedia article that's what we

19:33

go by usually yeah we always

19:35

the Iran mall and Iran and

19:37

Toronto is the largest the West

19:39

Edmonton mall is the largest the

19:41

West Edmonton mall is the 14th

19:44

or gross I lost it why do

19:47

we go like the 20th largest mall

19:49

terrible it's got to be like the

19:51

weirdest though it's 29th shout out Leon

19:53

29th it's go to well we've we've

19:56

talked about things in hockey being number

19:58

29 means that they're the best. So

20:00

yes Marie Poulin. Yeah. Nathan McKinnon, Leon

20:02

Dry Side, all. Suddenly 29 is number

20:05

one. So West Edmonton Mall, number one.

20:07

It was definitely number one in the

20:09

weirdest malls I've ever been to. Yeah,

20:11

I mean, I would agree. There's a

20:14

pirate ship. There were sea lions. There

20:16

were too many golf courses, a go-kart

20:18

course. Massive water park. a massive water

20:21

park with a gigantic title pool and

20:23

some of the craziest water slides you'll

20:25

ever see in your life all indoors

20:27

you didn't mention the amusement park yeah

20:30

full amusement park like just it has

20:32

like a extreme paint studio yeah movie

20:34

theater extremely extremely weird mom we didn't

20:36

see but a casino yeah there was

20:39

a they got like a food court

20:41

which is basically a bunch of like

20:43

a bunch of like little It's like

20:46

a bunch of food places. They've got

20:48

like three food horns, because they have

20:50

like two food courts. And then they

20:52

have like the Bourbon Street thing that

20:55

we saw that was kind of supposed

20:57

to look like New Orleans, but they

20:59

had a bunch of restaurants there. It

21:01

was a crazy, crazy mall. And I,

21:04

we raced go-karts, I beat John, Beachon,

21:06

Beachon, Beachon, were locked and loaded. We

21:08

blew out the rest of the rest

21:10

of the field. We were the real,

21:13

like Rickybobby, what's, what's, like, like, like,

21:15

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

21:17

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

21:20

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

21:22

like, like, like, You're right with Bobby,

21:24

I'm not a guy. I don't know.

21:26

Yeah, but yeah, it was amazing. That

21:29

was the most fun go-kard experience I've

21:31

ever had. Same. I agree. That was

21:33

like, you could really open it up.

21:35

The turns were like real, last turn,

21:38

I got to drift my ass off.

21:40

I accidentally, like, straight up, got in

21:42

a car accident with my girlfriend. I

21:45

got him with Pete. Yeah, Sean spun

21:47

me out. He still be me. That's

21:49

okay. I feel like. Bump it's racing.

21:51

Bump it's racing. If you two were

21:54

trying to win, if you end up

21:56

hitting each other, that's okay. I was

21:58

like opening it up and I was

22:00

like, I'm really... going to fly this

22:03

one and as I was turning a

22:05

corner I was like oh god damn

22:07

it there's somebody and just like crushed

22:09

them and I was like oh my

22:12

god I'm so sad then I saw

22:14

my girlfriend like ex-girlfriend yes ex yeah

22:16

show update My girlfriend has put me

22:19

back on the prowl. His roadside manner

22:21

was not good enough. Yeah. So why'd

22:23

you two split? You guys were good

22:25

together. Just car stuff. You know, we

22:28

weren't compatible on the track. Yeah. You

22:30

know, she's a great driver. Just different.

22:32

Different. No. It was so fun. They

22:34

made us watch a super long video

22:37

before. It was like. It's pretty threatening.

22:39

Made me more, it gave me more

22:41

questions than I started with and it

22:44

made me feel scared. So I'm pretty

22:46

sure that's not the vibe that I

22:48

want an instructional video to have before

22:50

I do go carding. But yeah, just

22:53

was very confused and scared after that.

22:55

You got to respect the track. Yep.

22:57

And I will say like that video

22:59

probably did deserve to have a like

23:02

the serious energy that it did because

23:04

those were serious go cards. Yes, I

23:06

mean I couldn't believe, like I was

23:08

really trying to push it on turn

23:11

14, which is the tightest one that's

23:13

at the bottom of a slope, and

23:15

I was like trying to turn at

23:18

every point there as I could to

23:20

be like, am I not gonna fucking

23:22

smash the wall if I'm keeping pedal

23:24

to the metal there? And like just

23:27

barely I never did, but that thing

23:29

kept you on your toes. The only

23:31

thing that I wish that that track

23:33

had was like cameras. and footage so

23:36

that you could you could look at

23:38

your performance I was gonna know you

23:40

don't want that oh I definitely know

23:43

because you would have watched it and

23:45

you would have been like because in

23:47

your brain you can say that you

23:49

were flying no we were fine if

23:52

you see it back what if it's

23:54

not as impressive as you thought me

23:56

in shower flying yeah we were I'm

23:58

not worried about that at all. You

24:01

weren't flying. I mean, we were. I

24:03

might have caught air at some points,

24:05

honestly. What's that? I might have caught

24:07

air at some points. Yeah, I mean,

24:10

I was definitely drifting. Yeah, so. That's

24:12

like the most fun part of it.

24:14

I also, this is an excuse, but

24:17

I started in front and I hated

24:19

that because I wanted to be like,

24:21

you want to chase somebody. Right, I

24:23

wanted there to be like a Mario

24:26

cart thing. That's what Pete and I

24:28

had going on. That's what the passing

24:30

was the best part. Like I loved,

24:32

I was very annoyed by how many

24:35

people were going slow because it kind

24:37

of fucked up my my rhythm a

24:39

little bit. But the feeling of like

24:42

flying around a corner and then just

24:44

having to like just sneak around somebody,

24:46

it just like I felt like a

24:48

fucking. It was Hamilton. Oh yeah. Shout

24:51

out go carts. Sean, can I get

24:53

an Edmonton grade from you because you

24:55

loved Edmonton? I loved Edmonton. but I'm

24:57

still very confused by a lot of

25:00

it. Yeah, Edmonton rocks. It's definitely my

25:02

kind of place. A lot of really

25:04

nice people. I like that they have

25:06

their little food items that everyone outside

25:09

of Edmonton would probably be slightly disappointed

25:11

in, but they really love. Not that

25:13

I was disappointed in it, but it's

25:16

very relatable to Buffalo. And it snowed

25:18

for two days straight and it was

25:20

wild and it was kind of cool.

25:22

Yeah, I mean, Edmonton experience was, I'm

25:25

still very confused by a lot of

25:27

it. very much enjoyed my time here

25:29

and a lot of people were like,

25:31

sorry you brought the snow, blah, blah,

25:34

blah, blah. The snow added to it

25:36

for me. Yeah. I did not know,

25:38

and I'm a pretty huge Edmonton head,

25:41

I did not know that it typically

25:43

does not snow when it gets super

25:45

cold in Edmonton because it is too

25:47

dry here. So when it... I didn't

25:50

think about that either. So obviously, like

25:52

snow for two days straight, that's no

25:54

joke, but... that this was some stuff

25:56

that they were like oh man like

25:59

never seen anything like this before and

26:01

I was like oh for this time

26:03

a year and they were like No

26:05

man, you see all this snow and...

26:08

It genuinely was like 48 straight hours

26:10

of non-stop snow. Yeah, that was pretty

26:12

smart. It was like, like legitimately non-stop.

26:15

I was very shocked. It was not

26:17

like the result, it was the process.

26:19

Well, the result was shocking too because

26:21

it wasn't nearly as bad as you

26:24

think it would be, 48 straight hours

26:26

of snow. Yeah, showed our one who

26:28

came to credit, who came to anything

26:30

that we did because like... I kept

26:33

reminding myself not everybody is right downtown

26:35

like we were like people were driving

26:37

half hour 45 minutes to come to

26:40

see us so in the snow in

26:42

the snow. Absolutely blast. This podcast is

28:44

this affect Nathan McKinnon's heart candidacy? We

28:47

saw Leon Dry Saddle come back and

28:49

of course do some big time, oh

28:51

my god, you should give that guy

28:53

the heart stuff. And typically with us,

28:56

it's down to, is it him? Or

28:58

is it Nathan McKinnon? Because we don't

29:00

believe that people are going to vote

29:02

for Connor Hellabuck as much as odds

29:05

makers think. But we got a new

29:07

sheriff in town. Because while Leon Dry

29:09

Saddle was out. Somebody else said, you

29:12

know what, I'm gonna lead the league

29:14

in points. And that person, as of

29:16

this recording, Nikita Kucharov, 11 points in

29:18

three games, just absolutely going bonkersville. And

29:21

that makes me happy because I just

29:23

like more people in the conversation, but

29:25

it also makes me happy because I

29:27

think the Kucharov at points this year.

29:30

was kind of being overlooked can't overlook

29:32

him now if you're gonna love Nathan

29:34

McKinnon because he has a bunch of

29:36

points got to love Nikita Kucharaw because

29:39

he has a bunch of points. Yeah

29:41

and I also love it too because

29:43

like it adds another element of intrigue

29:46

heading into the playoffs and like now

29:48

we're talking about a first round as

29:50

it stands today a first round Florida

29:52

Tampa Atlantic division matchup in that first

29:55

round which I think we're all taken

29:57

the battle of Florida right like that's

29:59

him Is that an ideal first

30:01

round matchup? Would you rather

30:03

have that over like Toronto in

30:06

the mix for one of those

30:08

teams? I'm watching, oh, I

30:10

mean Toronto Florida would be awesome.

30:12

Toronto Tampa. Marsh and knocking

30:15

out Toronto in the first round

30:17

would be still so funny to

30:19

me. Yeah, yeah. I want Ottawa,

30:21

Florida first round. Ottawa,

30:24

Florida first round. Ottawa,

30:26

Florida would be great.

30:28

Ottawa. There's a lot to like

30:31

there. I think that ultimately though. I'm

30:33

locking in Florida Tampa. Have a

30:35

battle of those teams again. Second

30:37

straight year. Really like Tampa this

30:39

year. Like I much respect and

30:41

we've apologized for whatever we said

30:44

pre-season with how they handled the

30:46

off-season and everything. You should have

30:48

brought back Stamcoes. They have played

30:51

it absolutely perfectly in Kucharov now.

30:53

Do you put Kucharov in the

30:55

McKinnon realm realm of the Heart conversation?

30:58

I mean, I'm not going to say

31:00

no, but I think there's a,

31:02

uh, a flimsier case for Kutrov

31:05

in the sense that, like, McKinnon

31:07

has the argument that

31:09

you've been swapping out players

31:12

with him this season, and,

31:14

you know, he's had to

31:16

elevate his entire team. He's

31:18

getting, uh, just like, tougher

31:20

matchups, I guess, a lot. I

31:22

don't know. I just think that, like,

31:24

McKinnon's got a more... sturdy

31:27

or bulletproof case versus a coup drop

31:29

if they're in the same sort of

31:31

realm. You still go Leon right now

31:33

though? I think yeah I think I

31:35

would I think I would go Leon

31:37

and I can't I still can't believe

31:39

that Connor Halibok is the betting favorite

31:41

as it stands today but yeah I

31:43

think that I would go I would

31:45

go Leon slightly over McKinnon. Someone

31:47

else going bonkers the last few

31:49

days would be Matt Bay Michkov

31:51

who had back-to-back two-to-back two-two. immediately

31:54

following the firing of John Tortorella.

31:56

Wouldn't you know it? I said

31:58

that people were gonna... to be

32:00

like, oh look how he's doing

32:02

without tortoirella in my counter would

32:04

be, well he was going off

32:06

with tortoirella, like relax, he's a

32:08

rookie, he's way better now. Yeah,

32:10

oh yeah, I mean a monster,

32:12

monster weekend for Mitchkov, the the

32:14

blown hat-trick where he had the

32:16

empty net rang the post, shout

32:18

out to the person that had

32:20

the parlay for the Bryce Harper

32:22

home run and a Matvey Mitchkov

32:24

hat-trick. and they missed because Meachkov

32:26

hit the post on an empty

32:28

netter. That person had like a

32:30

$10 bet that would have won

32:32

I believe like $20,000. That's, nobody's

32:34

had a worse weekend than that

32:36

person. You and Sean did, you

32:39

both played the 50-50 and didn't

32:41

win. It's not bad. I just

32:43

donated $25 to charity. Exactly. You're

32:45

writing that off, right? Mm-hmm. I

32:47

was going to say make sure

32:49

you shoot on your Canadian taxes.

32:51

This playoff conversation will be a

32:53

little dated because obviously there are

32:55

games being played before this episode

32:57

comes out. Not too much implications.

32:59

Yeah. All right, like blues seem

33:01

to be in. The blues keep

33:03

winning. What's their streak at? I

33:05

had to do it. They're at

33:07

nine in a row. Nine in

33:09

one in the last 10, nine

33:11

straight. Can they catch Colorado? I

33:13

mean, they're going to catch Minnesota.

33:15

You bet your bippy. They're tied

33:17

in points. Minnesota has a game

33:19

in hand, but like, there's nobody

33:21

stopping the blues right now. No.

33:23

And that is bad news for

33:25

the Winnipeg Jets, perhaps. Like, I

33:27

mean, I guess there's a good

33:29

chance that the, yeah, they mean

33:31

the Blues are gonna jump into

33:33

the top wild card, but like,

33:35

as it stands right now. If

33:37

you're the Jets, I think you're

33:39

praying that you don't get St.

33:41

Louis. Because I could see St.

33:43

Louis based off of the way

33:45

that they're playing and the momentum

33:47

that they have. Like, they could

33:49

fuck up somebody's time. in the

33:51

first round. Yeah, I mean, they

33:53

would be the, we've been playing,

33:55

we've been playing playoff hockey for

33:57

most of the season. Yeah. We've

33:59

already been in the playoffs. That

34:01

was the Florida Panthers a couple

34:04

years ago. It's a stunning turnaround

34:06

when you just look at beyond

34:08

the wins and losses. Like, I

34:10

believe that I saw heading into

34:12

the four nations break, the blues

34:14

were like a minus 15 in

34:16

gold differential. and now they have

34:18

like an adult plus 17. Okay

34:20

so I was wondering and I'm

34:22

looking it up right now and

34:24

hating it. Where's Jim Montgomery in

34:26

the Jack Adams race? We haven't

34:28

discussed Jack Adams like at all

34:30

but I I really don't I

34:32

don't think that he's gonna have

34:34

much of a place because I

34:36

think it's gonna be carbury or

34:38

meal. Like either one of those

34:40

too. But I mean let me

34:42

hold this up right I mean.

34:44

He's not top five? Travis Green's

34:46

going to be up there. I

34:48

mean, when he's in Evan Edison,

34:50

if they make the playoffs, is

34:52

going to be up there. You

34:54

also have to consider that like

34:56

Jim Montgomery got fired from the

34:58

job that he started the season

35:00

with. Like that is a pretty

35:02

compelling reason to not give somebody

35:04

the Jack Adams. Come back coach

35:06

of the year. Yes. Can we

35:08

have that? Maybe. In the East,

35:10

we're kind of getting a redux

35:12

because... The Eastern teams once again

35:14

don't want it. As of this

35:16

recording, the Rangers, four, five and

35:18

one in their last 10. These

35:20

are the teams that are fighting

35:22

for a wild card spot. Canadians,

35:24

three, four, and three in their

35:26

last 10, blue jackets, three, six,

35:29

and one in their last 10,

35:31

islanders, three, four, and three in

35:33

their last 10, and for good

35:35

measure. Don't even just throw in.

35:37

The Boston Bruins have lost eight

35:39

games in a row. How are

35:41

the. I'm gonna tanketh on this.

35:43

How are the Bruins not like

35:45

top five pick right now? It's

35:47

crazy. They mean there's still plenty

35:49

of hockey left and they're not

35:51

they're seemingly not coming close to

35:53

winning any of these games So

35:55

they're tied with the penguins right

35:57

they can move to 7th It

35:59

is crazy the the New York

36:01

Rangers by points currently sit in

36:03

a playoff spot and I don't

36:05

think anybody wants that we watched

36:07

them on Friday night Absolutely blow

36:09

it in the final minutes against

36:11

Anaheim. That was the best it

36:13

was it was horrible to watch

36:15

like from a person who is

36:17

like, oh, that might be a

36:19

playoff team. Nobody wants the Rangers

36:21

and they're not a Ranger fans.

36:23

So far, I had on the

36:25

Rangers, no one wants to see

36:27

the Rangers in the fucking playoffs.

36:29

Where are we certain though that

36:31

this year, we said that there

36:33

was gonna be a tight race

36:35

for the second wild card spot

36:37

this year and we were excited

36:39

about that. But it would be

36:41

a good race. But we said

36:43

it would be a good race.

36:45

And we said it would be

36:47

good. And whoever wins is going

36:49

to be a good team that

36:51

we're excited about. It's going to

36:54

be the Canadians. It's going to

36:56

be the senators. It's going to

36:58

be the blue jackets. It's going

37:00

to be the blue jackets. It's

37:02

going to be the Buffalo Sabres.

37:04

It's going to be like, I

37:06

mean, I, before the season, I

37:08

said it was going to be

37:10

this, I'm going to be the

37:12

Islanders. If they do get in,

37:14

they've got very little time to

37:16

reestablish themselves as the fun team

37:18

that is good. And when they

37:20

get in, we're gonna say, oh,

37:22

maybe a little upset watch. Maybe

37:24

they're gonna give Washington a little

37:26

trouble. Washington hadn't been here in

37:28

a minute. Maybe T&X can do

37:30

something. We're now back to, all

37:32

right, so who's the food? Yeah,

37:34

it's the fish food. I think

37:36

this, I think that part of

37:38

it is going to remain true,

37:40

no matter who gets in. especially

37:42

specifically with that second wild card

37:44

in the east that second wild

37:46

card in the east I think

37:48

is going to be food but

37:50

it still could be a fun

37:52

team that gets that spot and

37:54

we could feel good about it

37:56

heading into the playoffs. You don't

37:58

feel good about it right now

38:00

because all of those teams have

38:02

been pretty bad recently. But over

38:04

the last eight or so games

38:06

of the year, like one of

38:08

those teams, whether it's the Canadians,

38:10

whether it's the blue jackets, whether

38:12

it's I mean, maybe throw the

38:14

red wings in there, like any

38:16

one of those three teams could

38:19

recapture our excitement and recapture our

38:21

attention and bring momentum into the

38:23

playoffs and make us good about

38:25

that spot. I think where the

38:27

only thing that we don't want

38:29

to see at this point, and

38:31

I speak for I hope all

38:33

of us, you don't want to

38:35

see like the team that has

38:37

been there and is having a

38:39

shitty year, whether it's New York,

38:41

either one of the New York

38:43

teams, and then like nobody wants

38:45

to see the Bruins, I don't

38:47

think anybody thinks that the Bruins

38:49

are going to be there. Bruins

38:51

I've decided in this conversation are

38:53

going to have top five odds.

38:55

They might catch the... They might

38:57

catch the the Sabres. The Sabres

38:59

are the teams that are not

39:01

currently in a playoff spot in

39:03

the Eastern Conference. The hottest team

39:05

in the Eastern Conference. Six and

39:07

four. We do have breaking news

39:09

relevant to this conversation. The Montreal

39:11

Canadians defeated the Florida Panthers on

39:13

Sunday. If the season ended today,

39:15

your eighth wild card would be

39:17

the Montreal Canadians to which I

39:19

say, and the season today. Beyond's

39:21

MVP. We're already, right. I think

39:23

we're already. Right. I just got

39:25

to wait for the Rangers to

39:27

not be in, and then we're

39:29

like, we good? I'll tell you

39:31

who I guarantee would want the

39:33

season to end today, the Minnesota

39:35

wild. Oh yeah. Yes. Please end

39:37

it right now, so that we

39:39

can get in. But yeah, I

39:41

mean, I think we'd all be

39:44

happy with the Canadians as being

39:46

like the new kid on the

39:48

block, and if they'd get smoked

39:50

in the first round, that's fine.

39:52

They're ahead of schedule. It's just

39:54

don't run back one of those

39:56

other like failure teams that has

39:58

been just a pain in the

40:00

ass all season long like the

40:02

Rangers or the Islanders. Yeah I

40:04

mean really I hate to say

40:06

it anyone but the New York

40:08

teams. would be thrilled with the

40:10

blue jackets, would be very happy

40:12

with the Canadians, very happy with

40:14

the Red Wings, anyone but those

40:16

New York teams, God. Under Biden,

40:18

Americans' cost of living skyrocketed, food,

40:20

housing, auto insurance. Lawsuit abuse is

40:22

a big reason everything's more expensive

40:24

today. Fivalous lawsuits cost working Americans

40:26

over $4,000 a year in hidden

40:28

taxes. President Trump understands the problem.

40:30

That's why he supports loser pays

40:32

legislation to stop lawsuit abuse and

40:34

put thousands back in the pockets

40:36

of hardworking Americans. It's time to

40:38

make America affordable again. It's time

40:40

to support the president's plan. Running

41:09

slate great, shall we have. We

41:11

have. Not a lot of games

41:13

on this Monday, huh? We've got

41:15

the Wild at the Devils at

41:17

7 p.m. Eastern in the United

41:19

States and Canada. That one, I

41:21

gave implications. I gave that one

41:23

implication. Okay, yeah. As we cannot

41:25

see the monitor, I appreciate you

41:27

letting us know. I'm guessing we're

41:29

seeing two implications tonight. Yes, we

41:31

are. The preds at the Flyers,

41:33

that's 7 p.m. Eastern, that has...

41:35

Strong, who gives a fuck? Strong,

41:37

Mathay Michkov, going for 50. How

41:39

many goals does he has, he

41:41

has, he has 24. 24. So

41:43

maybe. We also have, this one

41:45

has implications big time. I debated

41:47

whether or not to give this

41:49

implications. 8.30 p.m. Eastern, United States,

41:51

and Canada, flames out of avalanche.

41:53

Anasm cadreble? The flames, like the

41:55

West might just be over. You

41:57

got like there's a seven point

41:59

lead for the two teams the

42:01

only thing that the only reason

42:03

I gave them implications because the

42:05

St. Louis has played three more

42:07

games right ready exactly I mean

42:09

seems like St. Louis has the

42:11

better chance of making the playoffs

42:13

at this point than flame needed

42:15

that extra point in the Battle

42:17

of Alberta there they've got a

42:19

real uphill climb same with with

42:21

Vancouver but just to it slightly

42:23

lesser extent on the way out

42:25

of the game last night somebody

42:27

somebody was wearing a Flames jersey

42:29

and was like, oh, like, wait

42:31

a ruin. It was a very

42:34

nice person, like, oh, wait a

42:36

ruin our night. Oilers. And I

42:38

was like, hey, you got a

42:40

point. You need the points. At

42:42

least you got one point. And

42:44

she was like, yeah, great, one

42:46

point. And my girlfriend beats me

42:48

and pointed to her girlfriend. And

42:50

they both laughed and left. And

42:52

I said, I don't understand Canadian

42:54

humor. Yeah, I mean, maybe I'll

42:56

call the police. I mean, that

42:58

lost point seems like the least

43:00

of her worries. Right, that would

43:02

not be the, uh, the, uh,

43:04

the, uh, go with my girlfriend

43:06

Beachby and we didn't get the,

43:08

we didn't get the, we didn't

43:10

get the, we got the loser

43:12

point. Can't catch a break. Stars

43:14

a crack and we'll tuck us

43:16

in at 10 p.m. Eastern. That's

43:18

an okay structure, two sevens and

43:20

eight 30 and eight 30 and

43:22

a ten. The issue. Folks, is

43:24

what the games aren't very good.

43:26

So this is going to affect

43:28

the grade negatively. And this is

43:30

an easy A minus. Two games

43:32

worth watching will probably be sleeping

43:34

and or editing a Zachheim interview.

43:36

Yeah, I think sleeping is probably

43:38

it. I don't know if anybody

43:40

can tell. I'm not feeling great.

43:42

Yeah, and also this room is

43:44

so big that I've felt weird

43:46

raising my voice or being too

43:48

animated. Edmonton Grade All Around A.
