1:54

I sit beside Pete Blackburn. Sean deposses across

1:56

the room. Hello, boys, real quick. Hello to

1:58

you, Sean. Hello. Hi, Pete.

2:01

Hi, David. Hi, Pete. We started

2:03

late. Pete. Tell the folks it's

2:05

on the show today. Today, on

2:07

the show, Ivan Demodov arrives to

2:09

the NHL. That's not what's on

2:11

the show. That is on the

2:13

show. We don't talk about it.

2:16

Through it around way too quickly.

2:18

We've caught up. Stars are burnt.

2:20

Stars are burnt. Sean made a

2:22

great, great thumbnail for the show

2:24

today that said Super Nova. He

2:26

showed me this and explained that

2:28

a supernova is when a star

2:31

explodes. Yeah. And also when somebody

2:33

is considered a phenome like Ivan

2:35

Demedov. So it works twice on

2:37

today's show. The Russians are here.

2:39

That's Demedov. Who's the other Russian?

2:41

A cruel caprisov. Oh, return. He

2:43

has missed 41 games this season

2:45

and tonight he returns for the

2:48

Minnesota wild. Also returning is Cam

2:50

Robinson. He's going to return to

2:52

the show. One of our favorite

2:54

guests, he's going to tell us

2:56

a little bit about some of

2:58

these young fellas who might make

3:00

an impact over the next few

3:02

weeks or so, including Demedov. And

3:05

finally, black and gold among garbage.

3:07

That's got to be about David Posternock,

3:09

because black and gold, the only gold

3:11

with the Bruins, David Posternock and Morgan

3:13

geek. I was going to say, who

3:16

Morgan Giki disrespect. From you far be

3:18

it from me to ever disrespect Morgan

3:20

geek. I know first on the Morgan

3:22

geeky is going to be awesome with

3:24

the Bruins train and He is officially

3:26

30 goal score July one a couple

3:29

years ago. I remember a well You

3:31

were like the Bruins got Morgan geeky.

3:33

I was like he says on the

3:35

day the Bruins got James Van Reemsteik

3:37

this one. Oh, let's grab as for

3:40

a second note that the Buffalo Sabres

3:42

have won eight of nine games. Congratulations

3:44

congratulations to you Sean officially eliminated Are

3:46

you happy about eight to nine games?

3:48

Because at this point of the year

3:51

for a team that's like kind of

3:53

not like, I don't know, they're like,

3:55

they could use to lose the games.

3:57

Yeah, I mean, I think there's way

3:59

more. for them to gain by winning

4:02

games than losing games. They don't need

4:04

an 18-year-old right now. It's not gonna

4:06

help them in their current. I don't

4:08

know if you want to call this

4:10

a window, but it's kind of a

4:12

window. And I think if knowing that

4:15

they're going into the off-season with the

4:17

solution is in the room approach, you

4:19

would like the solution to show itself.

4:21

Otherwise, it's just going to be the 13

4:23

game losing streak all over again. So

4:25

I think it's good that you know, you know,

4:27

you know, Classic. Yeah. Jack Quinn

4:30

looks like respectable. Things like

4:32

that. Tage still pointing goals. It's

4:34

nice. I do like that on

4:36

the Tankathon rankings, where the Sabres

4:38

are now ninth. It has their

4:40

win streak in red. It has their last

4:43

10 in red, which usually red is

4:45

bad, and for tankathon purposes, that is

4:47

bad. We will do tankathon stuff with

4:49

Cam Robinson in a few minutes. The

4:51

last little piece of grab-ass, or I

4:53

guess news that we will say, is

4:55

congratulations to your Ottawa senators. You made

4:57

the playoffs. Absolutely love it for you.

4:59

We're getting a very Canadian post-season. We're

5:01

gonna have a very Canadian show, because

5:03

as Pete mentioned, we will discuss Ivan

5:05

Demidal. But first, we must discuss.

5:07

Credit to us for throwing out

5:09

the what's going on with the conference

5:11

finalists of Last year thing the stars

5:13

were the only one where it was

5:16

a little bit of a force to

5:18

be like well They've lost two games

5:20

in a row, but whatever things aren't

5:22

so bad Well last night they became

5:24

the first team in an actual history

5:26

to blow a three goal lead in

5:28

the final three minutes that I say

5:30

three minutes I meant minute of a

5:32

game and lose the Canucks kept their

5:34

playoff little hopes alive, but the story

5:37

there Is the Dallas Stars now

5:39

join the Panthers and

5:41

the Oilers and the long dead

5:44

New York Rangers of? That's

5:46

a little weird for

5:48

a team that really should

5:50

be expected to go back

5:53

and do the big thing. They are

5:55

a mess right now. Yeah, at least

5:57

the Oilers and Panthers.

6:00

have more of an excuse like

6:02

they have depleted rosters. They're just

6:04

doing some weird shit. Maybe fudging

6:06

the numbers, maybe cheating. Yep. No

6:08

problem there. Dallas, obviously, mere Hayskin

6:10

and hurt. But like, other than

6:12

that, why are they being such

6:14

assholes? Okay, I have this answer.

6:16

Well, it's not an answer as

6:18

to why they're being a... This

6:21

is just more proof that they're

6:23

being assholes, which I am sorry,

6:25

stars fans, you don't need right

6:27

now. They have allowed three. Three.

6:29

Did I say three? I meant

6:31

11 third period goals in the

6:33

last three games. They have allowed

6:35

11 third period goals the last

6:37

three games. In the last three

6:40

games, the Dallas stars have allowed

6:42

11 third period goals, including a

6:44

hundred last night to the Canucks.

6:46

And it flies completely in the

6:48

face of like the narrative that

6:50

we've attached to the stars for

6:52

a long time now, which is

6:54

that they are the adults in

6:56

the room when it comes to

6:59

playing responsible big boy hockey. They

7:01

are playing poopy pants. Let's fuck

7:03

around. Oops, all rumpus time hockey

7:05

right now. Do you remember last

7:07

year I put a moratorium on

7:09

the stars or the adult team?

7:11

Maybe it was because I was

7:13

afraid that they were going to

7:15

adult my team. But it was

7:18

like, yeah, we get it. They're

7:20

fucking adults. Sorry we ever said

7:22

it. Yeah, they're the adult team.

7:24

They'll get Sagan back at some

7:26

point. Jim Nill. Will they? Maybe.

7:28

Yeah, I don't know. Jim Nill

7:30

is I think that solves the

7:32

problem either. Adamant per stars radio

7:34

analyst Bruce Levine. He says that

7:37

Jim Nill is quote Adamant, but

7:39

the stars have not ruled out

7:41

Miro Hayskin in for the entire

7:43

first round. I was unaware that

7:45

he wasn't definitely coming back for

7:47

the entire first round. I thought

7:49

the yeah, I thought the plan

7:51

was for him to like be

7:53

back in the first round and

7:56

you made the point before the

7:58

show is like this kind of

8:00

feels like bad news to hear

8:02

that quote because it's like you're

8:04

you know, don't worry. Don't worry.

8:06

He will be back and it's

8:08

like. Well, I wasn't worried until you started saying don't worry. Exactly.

8:10

And obviously that is their, like, Mira Hayskin at all times is

8:12

probably their most important player. But, especially given where their

8:14

roster is right now in the

8:16

right side of the defense, it

8:18

is a fucking mess. No disrespect

8:21

to Godi C. C. C. C.

8:23

C. But like, can't be disrespect

8:25

to C. C. C. C. He's

8:27

their best right side defense. Your

8:29

words not mine continue it's just

8:32

This was I didn't think it

8:34

would look like this I guess down

8:36

the stretch and maybe that's on me

8:38

But like we identified the fact that

8:41

their their right side was a real

8:43

problem months ago going into the

8:45

season Our season preview was, can't wait

8:47

to the, till the trade deadline when

8:49

all the teams in the West are

8:51

gonna be tripping over themselves to get

8:53

right shot defensemen or people to play

8:56

on the right side. And we had

8:58

the stars at the top of the

9:00

list, we had Edmonton at the top

9:02

of the list, Oilers addressed it, Stars

9:04

addressed it, but their addressing of it was

9:06

like, can you imagine if they didn't

9:08

get Cody CC? Yeah, I know.

9:10

It is, it's funny, and I'm

9:12

reading the chat right now and

9:15

it's very funny because there's like

9:17

a Mexican standoff of just like

9:19

Western Conference powerhouses, Aves, Stars, Oilers,

9:21

and just being like, respectfully,

9:24

I hate your team and your team sucks.

9:26

And like everybody's kind of

9:28

right. Yes, abs to a lesser

9:30

degree, like the abs are looking

9:32

like the quote-unquote adult team right

9:35

now, but they're not not without

9:37

their imperfections as well. Correct, we've

9:39

gotten carried away with loving the

9:41

abs, but guilty as charged. I love

9:43

the abs. I love the way that

9:45

their roster is constructed. I think that,

9:48

yeah, you said it. They're the most

9:50

adult of these teams. We discussed, we

9:52

kind of had this conversation briefly with

9:54

the Oilers yesterday of... If the right

9:56

things happen, we're going to find ourselves

9:59

stupid for asking. some of these questions

10:01

and maybe the stars are in the

10:03

same situation because I have a tough

10:05

time and we're not giving up on

10:08

the stars but I have a tough

10:10

time being like oh well the stars

10:12

seem cooked they might be cooked because

10:15

they're playing the abs in the first

10:17

round but as might be cooked because

10:19

they play the stars in the first

10:21

round. I just I think it's way

10:24

more likely for Dallas at this point

10:26

especially if you're not getting Hayskin in

10:28

like if Hayskin even if you return

10:31

say game game four in the first

10:33

round. What's the series at that point?

10:35

What is the whole? First round you

10:37

are likely playing in Colorado and I

10:40

would pause it you're losing, you're trailing

10:42

in the series. Or is three to

10:44

one, maybe it's tied, but you're still

10:47

playing that game in Colorado and that's

10:49

why I brought up when we were

10:51

talking about the cup favorites. Right, the

10:53

stars right now are the betting favorite

10:56

to win the Stanley Cup. Did

10:59

we know that when we said no,

11:01

right? Panthers were second someone had to

11:03

be first I know somebody's got to

11:06

be first and I just but the

11:08

point is the stars in the avalanche

11:10

are both top five and One of

11:12

them is gonna lose in the first

11:15

round Yeah, but again we've had this

11:17

conversation a little bit. It's not going

11:19

to be like because one of them

11:22

stinks, most likely. It's going to be

11:24

just because of the match-up. So like

11:26

I understand both of those teams having

11:28

pretty good odds. I am a little

11:31

surprised that Stars would be tops right

11:33

now. Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning,

11:35

who have joined the mix in that

11:37

second tier with the Capitals, Jets, both

11:40

tied, plus a thousand, Tampa Bay Lightning,

11:42

plus a thousand, so. We apologize beloved

11:44

stars fans I don't think that the

11:47

sky is completely falling but the sky

11:49

fell yesterday The silver lining is better

11:51

to have that shit happen with a

11:53

couple weeks left in the regular season

11:56

with five games or whatever it is

11:58

then to get that root awakening. What's

12:00

very important to me is that Jake

12:02

Ottinger wasn't in that for it. Oh

12:05

yes, and QP makes a good point

12:07

too is like there's the chance that

12:09

Jake Ottinger just becomes a fucking monster

12:12

in the first round. Totally. And then

12:14

that's what gets you through, then you

12:16

get hastening back like again, not giving

12:18

up on the stars, but oh boy,

12:21

there's some really ugly warts to see

12:23

with such little time remaining in the

12:25

regular season. The other side of this

12:27

is. Just another chapter in what has

12:30

been an absolutely insane, deranged, delusional Vancouver

12:32

Canucks season. Yeah, I saw, we were

12:34

texting last night and you were like,

12:37

can you believe the Canucks did that?

12:39

And out of context, that could literally

12:41

be fucking anything. Yes. Because remember, the

12:43

Canucks did this against the Cracken. They

12:46

blew a three goal lead with, I

12:48

think it was... like end of the

12:50

calendar year they blew a three goal

12:52

lead with five minutes left and you're

12:55

like wow how do you do that

12:57

that's never gonna happen again this year

12:59

and then they do it on the

13:02

other side to a playoff team so

13:04

good on the Canucks good that they're

13:06

still swinging it's probably not gonna happen

13:08

if there was a fan vote for

13:11

like getting a team into the playoffs

13:13

just based off of like lifetime achievement

13:15

by lifetime I mean season achievement of

13:18

just being the most insane and entertaining

13:20

team over the course of 82 games.

13:22

I think I'd put the Canucks in

13:24

the playoffs. I touched the numbers and

13:27

still go Columbus, but I get what

13:29

you're saying. Yeah, but you would be

13:31

doing that as like a reward. Yeah.

13:33

I would be doing it as like,

13:36

I just want to see what the

13:38

Canucks could do in the first round.

13:40

I want to see what it looks

13:43

like. I don't need more information. I

13:45

just like, it's kind of just like

13:47

locking a wild animal in a room

13:49

and just watching it. Okay, I'm going

13:52

all incredible stuff off Obey breaking the

16:44

this show since whenever news came yesterday.

16:46

of Ivan Demedov leaving S.K.A. Petersburg signing

16:48

with the Canadians and now you can

16:51

add the Canadians to the list of

16:53

teams like potentially the wild like certainly

16:55

the Washington Capitals like the St. Louis

16:57

Blues who are adding top prospects for

16:59

the playoff run and Demedov is particularly

17:02

exciting because this is a guy that

17:04

when we talk to Cam Robinson and

17:06

he's gonna join us in a few

17:08

minutes I was like I've watched three

17:11

clips and I don't know if he

17:13

knows how to play hockey. And that

17:15

is a good thing because he plays

17:17

hockey like an insane person. Every stride

17:19

I see him take, every play I

17:22

see him make seems like it's some

17:24

sort of trick shot where it's hockey

17:26

adjacent and he is just oozing with

17:28

skill. Habs took him fifth overall, might

17:31

end up being a steal. And now

17:33

this exciting Canadians team that we love

17:35

with all these young players adds a

17:37

guy who led a good team in

17:39

the KHL. with 49 points and 65

17:42

games this season. Yeah, just another chapter

17:44

of how I how dirty I feel

17:46

being excited about the Montreal Canadians, especially

17:48

in a season where the Bruins fucking

17:51

suck, they're horrible, they're depressing. I shouldn't

17:53

have to feel this much excitement towards

17:55

the Canadians, yet they're forcing me to.

17:57

Demodov being added to this team down

17:59

the stretch. I think a lot of

18:02

people were doubting it because they were

18:04

doubting whether or not his contract situation

18:06

would get worked out with the KHL

18:08

Club. Here we are, like he's joining

18:11

them at the height of their hype,

18:13

and I think that he only adds

18:15

a whole nother layer of that and

18:17

everything that I'm hearing from people that

18:19

I trust when it comes to prospect

18:22

stuff. including Cam, who's going to join

18:24

us in a second, say like, it

18:26

is absolutely worth investing in the hype

18:28

here because he's fucking awesome. Sean, you

18:31

saw a tweet that I saw as

18:33

well, didn't make a ton of sense,

18:35

but it birthed you a pretty great

18:37

take. No, yeah, it was the hockey

18:39

news sweeted out this highlight of Demidov,

18:42

doing a trick shot with the puck

18:44

tape to the butt of a stick

18:46

in a KHL, and they were like.

18:48

This is what has this is what

18:51

and he missed. Yeah important detail and

18:53

they were like this is what Habs

18:55

fans can't expect I Don't think that's

18:57

I don't think that's what they they

18:59

can expect this one of my favorite

19:02

parts was one of the replies was

19:04

like I'd like to see I'd like

19:06

to see I'd like to see him

19:08

do this and not get his head

19:11

knocked off by Radco Goudis I'm like

19:13

first off not a real game. I

19:15

don't think he's trying this in a

19:17

real game I think that's the end

19:19

of Ivan Demedov as a living human

19:22

being. Like I think he dies. I

19:24

don't think you just, anybody taking that

19:26

seriously, like he's just gonna pick up

19:28

the puck and start dancing around in

19:31

the slot in a real NHL game.

19:33

I just found the whole, the whole,

19:35

this tweet, the highlight, the response is

19:37

hilarious. Got to ask though, if he

19:40

does that in the real NHL game

19:42

and ends up scoring, do we apply

19:44

the rule of cool? That's absolutely. 20

19:46

guys on the other team that's ashamed

19:48

of themselves for not stepping up and

19:51

getting in the way of it. Kind

19:53

of like what you said with Shane

19:55

Wright yesterday where it's like you let

19:57

a grown man take your stick? You

20:00

got to get punished. You got to get

20:02

punished for that. That's on you. Yeah. Okay. So

20:04

kind of a dark answer to what I

20:06

thought was a pretty optimistic question by the hockey

20:09

news, but thank you very much, Sean. I

20:11

agree with it all. Let's bring on

20:13

the great Cam Robinson from Elite prospects

20:15

and we pick his brain about these

20:17

young players all the time. We've certainly

20:19

discussed Ivan Demidov with him before, but

20:21

now Cam, now's the fun time because

20:23

we get to talk about him in

20:25

the NHL. Yeah.

20:28

I mean, Pete, I

20:30

know I'm not a Habs fan either,

20:32

right? Growing up here on the West Coast,

20:34

but I am like legitimately excited. I'm

20:36

not a Bruins fan, so it doesn't like

20:38

hurt my soul to be excited for

20:40

this arrival, but this kid is, he's legitimately

20:43

a special offensive player. And just

20:45

listening to, you know, what DJ you're saying

20:47

that you've seen three clips and they're all, you

20:49

know, hockey adjacent and just highlight reel. I

20:51

got to say, he's more hockey

20:53

player than highlight reel now.

20:55

Like he has become a player

20:57

this year. And I don't even think that

20:59

that's just like we can give credit to

21:01

Scott. I think that he's just developed as a

21:03

player where he can recognize like, hey, I

21:05

don't need to make a highlight reel attempt every

21:08

play here. I don't have support. I'm one

21:10

on three. I'll make a little move

21:12

and I'll shoot from distance. I'll go and

21:14

I'll dump and I'll chase that he's a,

21:16

he's an actual hockey player who's going to

21:18

translate. And I think translate quickly to the

21:20

Habs lineup in the NHL level and like they

21:22

put a clause in his contract that if he

21:24

wins the con smite, that's an extra half mill.

21:26

And, you know, teams will do that just to

21:28

be funny. But I mean, like that's legitimately like

21:30

this kid is that good, right? I know that

21:32

Ryan Leonard had something similar in his too, but

21:35

so you toss these kids a bone, but, but

21:37

no, he is, he is that good. Brother,

21:39

like Sean was saying before the

21:41

show is it, is it

21:44

cowardice to place multiple futures bets

21:46

for the Stanley Cup? I

21:48

bet I have money on the Canadians to win

21:50

the Stanley Cup because their odds were so long

21:52

at one point. So it's

21:55

not cowardice. If I also jump

21:57

in and double down, toss a

21:59

few shekels. on Ivan Demedov, Khan

22:01

Smyth. Maybe we each get a half mill.

22:03

There you go, right? I mean, it's not

22:05

cowardice, it just seems prudent.

22:07

Seems like wise financial advice.

22:10

Okay, so there's the clip from

22:12

today's show. It is prudent to

22:14

pick Ivan Demedov as your Khan

22:16

Smyth winner. He's added now to

22:18

a group of really good young

22:20

players for the Canadians. And I

22:23

know that your eyes Lavkovsky isn't

22:25

having the greatest season, but. This has

22:27

to feed the idea that these guys are going to

22:29

be very good for a while, right? Well, yeah, I

22:31

mean, like, obviously, Suzuki and Caulfield, they're

22:33

still young and, you know, already star level

22:36

players, like you mentioned, Slafkovsky, they do have

22:38

David Rhinebacher who, you know, lost the season

22:40

due to the knee injury, another top pick

22:42

for them. Hudson, maybe not, yeah, I mean,

22:44

Lane Hudson is already a superstar, right, and

22:47

then now you've got damn it off coming, it,

22:49

it's coming, it's, it's, it is, it is, it is,

22:51

it is, it is, it is, it is, it is,

22:53

it is, it is, it is, it is, it is,

22:55

it is, it is, it is, it is, it is,

22:57

it is, it is, They've got some really nice pieces.

22:59

It's Jacob Fowler right in net. They've got their goalie

23:02

too. Like it's looking very promising for the haves long

23:04

term here. And I mean, that's good for the game.

23:06

It's good for the game. It's good for the game

23:08

to have the haves being in the playoffs regularly and

23:10

having high scoring players because it's been forever since they've

23:13

had a guy break 80, right? Like Suzuki doing it

23:15

this year is the first time since Kovola. It's good

23:17

for hockey. It's good for Canada. It's good for

23:19

Canada. which I'm okay with, again being

23:21

on the west coast, it does hurt

23:23

me a little bit, but I'm okay

23:25

with it because it's at least not

23:28

the leaves, right? Far be it from

23:30

us to be reasonable, but like

23:32

what are the reasonable expectations

23:34

for Demenov immediately? I mean, he's

23:36

still a kid coming in being airlifted into

23:38

basically the NHL playoffs, right? So let's keep

23:41

the expectations low. But I do imagine he's

23:43

going to flash, right? He's going to flash

23:45

some stuff. I think what we should be

23:47

looking for is that, you know, get his

23:49

feet wet here, I wouldn't be surprised if

23:52

he put up a few goals though, right?

23:54

Like, did he find the back of the

23:56

net or he can do some highlight real

23:58

dishes or something like that? like, well, we

24:00

will pump the brakes. We're not looking

24:03

for him to step in and go

24:05

a point of game or anything like

24:07

that. Now, if he did it, I

24:09

wouldn't be shocked, though, because, like you

24:11

mentioned, you know, he just broke the

24:13

U20 scoring record in the KHL, 49

24:15

and 65, like, that's better than Capriza,

24:17

better than Tarasenko, Kuznetzup, better than Michkov,

24:20

and, you know, the K isn't as

24:22

difficult to lead by. finally getting minutes

24:24

in the back half of the season

24:26

like he was buried in the lineup

24:28

for the first half of the year

24:30

healthy scratch seeing fourth line production not

24:32

getting top power play stuff like they

24:35

didn't they didn't like let him run

24:37

while they really held him back and

24:39

then in the playoffs the shot rate

24:41

jumped up to three and a half

24:43

a game the conversion rate stayed nice

24:45

and high like everything we see about

24:47

this at that pro level in the

24:49

KHL very very translatable and he really

24:52

he made it look like he was

24:54

playing in a do what he wanted

24:56

when he had ice and just his

24:58

recognition of space and so that's gonna

25:00

obviously translate really well from two but

25:02

again you're jumping into the NHL at

25:04

this at this point of the season

25:06

everybody's revved up everybody's kind of clicking

25:09

and so it's gonna be hard for

25:11

him to really step in and make

25:13

a huge impact but it's not out

25:15

of the question should they give him

25:17

power play time because and I saw

25:19

that that when you brought up Petersburg

25:21

that chat was saying like no thanks

25:24

to them they held him back and

25:26

all these things If it is a

25:28

bit of a slow grind and they're

25:30

giving him piecemeal, then he's used to

25:32

that, but would you drop him in

25:34

and say, okay, you're a third line

25:36

left wing, whatever it may be, and

25:38

we're giving you power play minutes. Yeah,

25:41

I mean you're not bringing this guy

25:43

out there to kill penalties and shut

25:45

down in the defensive zone, right? Like

25:47

you play to their strength. This is

25:49

an offensive player. So yes, put him

25:51

with offensive players, put him in situations

25:53

to succeed, offensive zone starts, get him

25:55

power play minutes, all that good stuff,

25:58

and then limit how much responsibility he

26:00

has to have away from the puck

26:02

because that's gonna be the most difficult

26:04

part for him to translate. Okay, do

26:06

you think he or somebody else has,

26:08

or I should just say, who has

26:10

the biggest impact of all these guys

26:12

who are being added to playoff teams?

26:15

Because this is a very fun thing

26:17

this season. It doesn't always happen. Bruins

26:19

did it back in the day with

26:21

Charlie McAvoy, but this is a good

26:23

season. It doesn't always happen. Bruins did

26:25

it back in the day with Charlie

26:27

McAvoy, but this is a good. Thank

26:30

you. I'm going to go

26:32

with the guy that hasn't actually signed

26:34

yet, but that I'm very much expecting

26:36

him to and it's Alexander Nikitian. So

26:38

teammates with Demodov there at SCA, you

26:40

know, he was their captain, he has

26:42

broken all their scoring records as a

26:44

defenseman, he's done everything for that team

26:46

there, and they're now still, his agent

26:48

is still trying to negotiate an early

26:50

out clause because they're supposed to own

26:52

them until June 1st. But let the

26:54

guy come out, come over to Carolina,

26:56

he's everything you could want for him,

26:58

you could want for him, and I

27:00

think that that that's a player. who

27:02

could really like inject a huge boost

27:04

to the to the cane's blue line

27:06

because he's older, he's more mature, he

27:08

has loads of pro experience, like he

27:10

could step in and be a top

27:12

four contributor right away. Not to say

27:14

that Zee Buyum can't either on the

27:16

blue line for Minnesota, but I do,

27:18

I do think that Nickishin physically maturity

27:20

wise and his skill is that he

27:22

could, he could step in and chew

27:24

up 20 minutes and not look at

27:26

a place. So, so he would be

27:29

my pick just on the age and

27:31

the experience and the, and the skill

27:33

side. Not everybody gets to look forward

27:35

to playoff runs with their team. Some

27:37

of us are hammering tankathon every day.

27:39

So I got to ask about the

27:41

Bruins, like, who should the Bruins want

27:43

if they end up in, you know,

27:45

the top five, top three, whatever? I

27:47

mean, there's a load of options for

27:49

them. I think that getting a top

27:51

flight center prospect probably is goal number

27:53

one. No offense to Elias Lindholm, but

27:55

I don't think he's going to fit

27:57

the bill for him long term here.

27:59

You know, and same with Matt Pottra's

28:01

too. So a whole bunch of guys,

28:03

depending on where they end up, if they're

28:05

five, six, seven, something like that, you

28:07

know, you've got a whole host of

28:09

options. You've got Anton Frondel, you know,

28:11

is it left-handed center, power pivot. Physically,

28:14

he's already pretty well developed, but he

28:16

just ripped off like the top you

28:18

18 season in the hockey else Ventskin,

28:20

which is the second tier in Sweden,

28:22

pro hockey. I'm still dubious that he's

28:24

like a legitimate one C, I think

28:26

probably more like a pretty good two

28:28

C. But you've got Caleb Daniel, the

28:30

best player on the best team in

28:33

the Q, he's young, super, super smart,

28:35

knows how to leverage time and space

28:37

really really well, pace is a bit

28:39

of an issue, not like overly overly

28:41

dynamic, One of my favorites, he's kind

28:43

of got a little Elias Patterson in

28:45

him where he's, you know, kind of

28:47

slight, but the vision, the creativity, the

28:50

power play production is like through the

28:52

roof. I think as far as like

28:54

pure offensive upside for the guys outside

28:56

of maybe the top two, O'Brien might be

28:59

the top one. And then, you know,

29:01

he got like Roger McQueen, six foot

29:03

five, monster power pivot, missed a big

29:05

chunk of the year this year with

29:07

the back injury, he's come back, he's

29:09

been pretty good. If it breaks right, he

29:11

could be the best player in the draft,

29:13

but it's a real gamble to take him

29:15

at like three or four. But if you're picking

29:17

it six or seven, I think that that's

29:19

an easier one for you. And then obviously got

29:21

Porter Martone on the wing, you've got Jackson Smith

29:24

on the blue line, a left shot defenseman,

29:26

six foot three mobile creative hits, like Jackson Smith,

29:28

if they want to go on the blue

29:30

line. and they're not going to get Matt

29:32

Schaefer, he's the guy for me. Like I

29:34

think he has legit top pairing upside and

29:36

with his size and skating ability, like he

29:39

could be a number one long term too

29:41

that you can get outside of the top

29:43

five. So loads of options for Boston to

29:46

inject, you know, a high draft pick into

29:48

an organization that really hasn't picked high in

29:50

forever. Should they be at all scared off

29:52

of the Martones of the world, the tall,

29:55

the big, the bulky guys, because that typically

29:57

is what they chase, but typically what

29:59

they chase. are bad players. Are these guys

30:01

we're talking about good? Oh yeah, they're good

30:03

and Martone is good and he's a good

30:06

kid. Now I will say that he's super

30:08

skilled. on top of being a big body

30:10

too, super, super skilled. Now what I would

30:12

like to see for more is to use

30:15

that big body in like productive ways. He

30:17

can sometimes get frustrated and then use his

30:19

strength to his advantage, but I would like

30:21

to see him do it when he's like

30:24

moving and pushing into open ice and protecting

30:26

the pocket and going to the net heart.

30:28

kind of lighting a fire under him sometimes

30:30

too on like you know getting back on

30:33

the back check and not floating back or

30:35

getting frustrated those types of things but with

30:37

the size and skill package he's a very

30:39

worthy kid who's gonna go probably three I

30:42

think this year and then another kid I

30:44

didn't even mention was James Haggots who everybody

30:46

thought was gonna go one. And now I

30:48

wouldn't be surprised if he's sitting there at

30:51

six. Like there's a, there's, and he could

30:53

be someone who's gonna be maybe not like

30:55

a pure number one guy, but someone who

30:57

can be, maybe play a top line role

31:00

for you and be like a really smart

31:02

two way player who can still put up

31:04

points. He's just not necessarily like a. a

31:06

play driver in all situations at this stage

31:09

of his career being a draft eligible N.C.A.

31:11

isn't like an easy task. So even him

31:13

putting up a point of game this year

31:15

has been good. But, you know, there's these

31:18

big players like Roger McQueen and Porter Martone,

31:20

it has been kind of the Bruins mandate

31:22

and I did catch that little dig at

31:24

Dean Laterno, their DJ. But I think, I

31:27

think it a few other people too, and

31:29

mainly it's a dig at Don Sweeney. Sweeney.

31:31

Like the, the, the, the, you're ruining the

31:33

kid's lives. It doesn't matter who the Bruins

31:36

pick in the first round at this point.

31:38

Like it's not an attachment to the player,

31:40

it's when they pick them, you're like, oh,

31:42

that poor guy. Now he doesn't stand a

31:45

chance. Everybody's been talking about, like, he sounds

31:47

like you like a lot of these guys.

31:49

So why is everybody talking about this draft

31:51

class like it fucking sucks that we, nobody

31:54

should even bother, nobody should even bother, It's

31:56

not, there isn't a Connor Bedard or a

31:58

Sydney Crosby or something like that, like it's

32:00

not the top top flight at the very

32:03

top that we've started to get used to

32:05

or Macon Salabrini even, even. And so, you

32:07

know, Schaefer and Misa though are like legitimate

32:09

quality first overall picks, maybe in the La

32:12

Franier category. I know he hasn't broken right

32:14

either, but it's still like a very good

32:16

player that you're like happy to get. And

32:18

then, you know, you know, that next year.

32:21

it's good it has first line upside it

32:23

has guys that could be potentially star level

32:25

players but then it kind of falls off

32:27

i would say once you get into like

32:30

eight and after that now there's there's a

32:32

bunch of guys with upside but with warts

32:34

and the depth kind of falls off I

32:36

think in this class. Whereas some some classes

32:39

we have that superstar at the top or

32:41

maybe even potentially two superstars at the top

32:43

and then a few more that could have

32:45

star level and then it has the depth

32:48

and that's what this class is missing. And

32:50

so it's not an excellent class but I

32:52

don't think it's like a garbage draft class.

32:54

But Schaefer and Misa have separated themselves to

32:57

the point where say the Bruins win the

32:59

lottery and they're picking the lottery and they're

33:01

picking first. I think so. And especially Schaefer

33:03

too, even though he's missed so much time,

33:06

is that his upside is super tantalizing. Like

33:08

he is a very, very talented player. Like

33:10

what he did, you know, played a game

33:12

in a quarter there with Canada at the

33:15

World Juniors. It was immediately their best defense

33:17

men. You know, I saw him at the

33:19

Holinka, like an excellent defenseman. They're top player

33:21

at that event and that had Gavin Gavin

33:23

McKenna. Last year at the U8 teams when

33:26

I was in Finland. He is an underage

33:28

player and he was my vote for best

33:30

defenseman there too. Like he is very very

33:32

good, very calm, super young too. So like

33:35

the runway for him is a legit number

33:37

one defenseman, the star level defenseman. So and

33:39

then Misa what he's done, you know, especially

33:41

coming back after being an exceptional status kid

33:44

and then not really jumping out as a

33:46

16 year old. everyone's gonna like maybe he's

33:48

gonna be like in the top 10 and

33:50

then just kind of light the world on

33:53

fire like his season was awesome and I

33:55

do really think that his camp had looked

33:57

at being like okay you know he's good

33:59

but he'll probably need another year. So like,

34:02

let's take a look down the road here

34:04

at the South and go to the NCA

34:06

next season. Well, he's played himself right into

34:08

a position where he thinks he can make

34:11

the NHL next year. And I think that

34:13

whoever drafts him is probably gonna be thinking

34:15

the same thing now too. So that's what

34:17

you're looking for in these top picks or

34:20

number two picks is you're hoping they're gonna

34:22

be ready to jump in and play NHL

34:24

minutes the next fall. You mentioned McKenna. McKenna.

34:26

Is McKenna as good as everyone says that

34:29

he is and as good as the numbers

34:31

suggest? Is he the surefire number one next

34:33

year? Because we were in Edmonton and we

34:35

were talking to some people and they really

34:38

really like Keaton Verhof and suggested that like

34:40

he could contest McKenna for number one. Is

34:42

it McKenna and nobody else? Yeah, I like

34:44

Keaton Verhoff too, but it's not, he's not

34:47

going to challenge Gavin. Now, if there's anybody

34:49

who maybe has a chance to challenge him,

34:51

I mean, like Ryan Rubrik over in the

34:53

OHL is a good player, but again, he's

34:56

like, he's a bigger, he's center, so teams

34:58

might like that, Vigo Bjork over in Sweden

35:00

has put up like astronomical numbers in the

35:02

J20 and he's super young for that draft

35:05

class too. I bar Stenberg, he's an. It's

35:07

McKenna. And now whether or not he is

35:09

as good as the numbers say, it's like

35:11

that's the big question because to be quite

35:14

honest with you, like the WHL is the

35:16

some of the numbers that are getting put

35:18

up right now, it's it's ridiculous, right? Like

35:20

Andrew Christol and Berkeley Catner pretty much putting

35:23

up six or seven points a night with

35:25

Spokane. Like it's silly that it's it's not

35:27

as translatable as it once was I would

35:29

say the style of play. And that's why

35:32

we're going to see some players. take a

35:34

pass on sticking around there and head down

35:36

to the NCAA to get better prepared for

35:38

the NHL. That's why we might see Gavin

35:41

McKenna do it next year. That's because he's

35:43

accomplished everything he can accomplish in that setup.

35:45

But he is a supremely talented player ahead

35:47

of the game by like a mile with

35:50

his IQ at this level to and he's

35:52

he's one of these unique playmakers off the

35:54

wing that we don't see a ton of

35:56

right like Nikita Kucharoff. That might be what

35:59

you're getting. at a Gabon McKenna. That level

36:01

of player, now I'm not going to say

36:03

he's going to get 130, 140 every year

36:05

because that's a lofty goal to get, but

36:08

that's the type of player you're going to

36:10

get. You're going to get a very likely

36:12

superstar on the wing. Okay, McKenna

36:14

reminds me of his teammate, Caden Lindstrom, which

36:17

reminds me of the fact that Lindstrom's

36:19

having a really good season there, and

36:21

if he didn't miss time, he'd probably

36:24

be top three on the team in

36:26

points. And it brings us

36:28

back full circle to

36:31

Ivan Demedov because Cadenlin's

36:33

from fourth overall. Columbus

36:35

Blue Jackets passed on

36:38

Demedov to take Beckett

36:40

Seneca and the Chicago

36:42

Blackhawks famously passed on

36:44

him to take Levshinov.

36:46

Are teams going to regret

36:49

their behavior at the

36:51

sphere over Ivan Demedov? Yeah, they are.

36:53

And... I mean, like Becket Seneca is

36:55

a really good player. He has size.

36:57

He has handles. I get why Anaheim

36:59

liked him and he was trending really,

37:01

really upwards quickly towards the draft. I'm

37:03

Katie Lindstrom. I love Katie Lindstrom as

37:05

a player. He is a unique type

37:07

of player, but that back injury sucks,

37:09

right? Like it costs you, it's gonna

37:11

cost like a year and a half

37:13

of development. Like that is really tough

37:15

to come back from, but. he's a

37:17

truck right at six foot four down

37:19

the middle like in he can hammer guys

37:21

and he can score and he can set it

37:24

up in if you can get a player like

37:26

that in your system and have it like turn

37:28

out right for you like he's almost a unicorn

37:30

so i get why Columbus did that too especially

37:32

because when you're looking at Ivan Damid off when

37:34

you were looking him last year it's like nobody

37:36

questioned his skill it was Right there with

37:39

Connor Burdards like I know a lot of

37:41

teams had them like had an internal discussion

37:43

not ones that are picking at one But

37:45

whether or not you know who's who's got

37:47

the more skilled them and offer Burdard But

37:49

what the problem was is that a you

37:51

know a little undersized at the time and

37:53

not super speedy and we hadn't seen him

37:55

challenged like all he played was in the

37:58

MHL, which is you know You could compare to

38:00

like the junior A leagues here in Canada. Like he

38:02

was torching competition that was well below him and he

38:04

didn't get a chance to go playing the K. He

38:06

didn't get to play in any international tournaments. So it's

38:08

like for a team, it's like if I'm sitting here

38:11

at my house or at the sphere and I can

38:13

be like, yeah, this kid's the second best

38:15

player in the draft. Well, there's no threat

38:17

to my job for saying that, right. But

38:19

if I'm a GM and I gotta bet

38:22

everything on taking this kid on taking this

38:24

kid at number two at number two at

38:26

number two. That's when it's like, you know,

38:28

maybe we do take Adam Lebshinoff, who is

38:31

a, you know, big powerful defenseman who we

38:33

can project as a top pairing guy long

38:35

term, and it's safe. He's already in North

38:37

America. He's already playing a North American-style game

38:39

versus, you know, the risk that who knows

38:42

what's going to happen over there with

38:44

Russia. They try to extend players

38:46

long term. They try to keep

38:48

them and they don't develop them

38:50

as well. maybe potential regret. I

38:53

did want to ask you about

38:55

the the tweet that Pierre Lebrun

38:57

said yesterday. Thinking back to last

38:59

June's draft, Chicago, which took

39:01

election of second overall, offered

39:04

its 2026th unprotected first round

39:06

pick to Columbus for the

39:08

fourth overall pick. The idea

39:10

at the time being the

39:12

Blackhawks would have likely taken

39:15

Demodov at four. Would you

39:17

have potentially... given up the

39:19

opportunity with that first round pick

39:21

to maybe land a McKenna or

39:24

whoever at the top of the

39:26

2026 class for Demodov at four

39:28

if you were there and if

39:30

you were Columbus would you

39:33

have considered it over

39:35

Lidsstrom? Oh wow I actually

39:37

missed that tweet too. I think

39:39

if I was Chicago I would have

39:41

been fine to make that offer. because now

39:43

you have your, now you have your pillar

39:45

on the, on the blue line at two,

39:47

and now you have your running mate with

39:49

Bedard, and with Demodoff, and then you just,

39:51

then you just go out and you do

39:53

all you can now this summer, right, to

39:55

make yourself a competitive team and make sure

39:57

you're not picking it one and that, that

39:59

pick. it doesn't go and turn out to

40:01

be McKenna. Maybe it ends up being ninth

40:04

or tenth overall, but you can swallow that

40:06

for Ivan Demodov. For Columbus, I think that

40:08

they would have, they're a really like analytically

40:10

driven management group for the most part. And

40:13

so they probably looked at that from all

40:15

angles and considered, you know, the value and

40:17

what Chicago would have done and been like,

40:19

we'll just take the fourth overall pick because

40:21

there's a very good chance that they're just

40:23

going to go sign a bunch of UFA.

40:25

to make sure that it's not a top

40:27

five pick in 26, right? And so we'll

40:29

just keep our pick. And they really like

40:32

Caitlinstrom, but I do know that they really

40:34

like Ivan Demodov too. It's just the big

40:36

power pivot versus the undersized Russian winger. It

40:38

was kind of an easier decision in that

40:40

regard when you frame it in that light.

40:42

But yeah, the injury to his back that

40:44

hasn't cleared up is obviously throwing a wrench

40:46

in it for him. Yeah, I mean, I think

40:49

the balliest aspect aspect of it is

40:51

that Columbus said no to it. Like

40:53

offering your unprotected pick in

40:55

the McKenna draft is really

40:57

bold, but saying no to

40:59

an unprotected pick From respectfully

41:02

we love this team in

41:05

the organization Chicago Blackhawks in

41:07

the McKenna draft Man, I don't know.

41:09

I'd be like you know just give

41:11

us like a little something more and

41:13

we're doing that Yeah, it's I again

41:15

like you just because it was two years

41:18

out is that they would give them two

41:20

years to make sure they weren't awful in

41:22

26 right and that's enough time that's enough

41:24

lead up time to get them out of

41:26

that lottery spot right where it's like you

41:29

know you're trading your fourth overall pick and

41:31

I've been demoed off for or that turns

41:33

into I've been demoed off for like a

41:35

seven or an eight or a tenth overall

41:38

pick now that looks bad especially because now

41:40

you're two years longer to wait on the

41:42

asset that you're drafting in 26 versus

41:44

what you're gonna draft in 2024

41:46

so for Columbus like honestly I'd

41:49

love to fire a text over

41:51

there too, see and get some

41:53

comments from them too, but I

41:55

bet you that was a pretty

41:57

easy decision for them to say

41:59

no. as well. So a man

42:01

of intelligence class and most notably

42:03

taste. Thank you my friend. Appreciate

42:05

it fellas. You can read Cam

42:08

Robinson on elite prospects and nobody

42:10

is better than him. And as

42:12

I have noted, also just like

42:14

a damn fine NHL reporter. He

42:16

was really integral. You talked earlier

42:18

about the Vancouver Canucks season and

42:20

we were just... like junkies trying

42:22

to get any little crumbs of

42:24

what the Christ is going on

42:26

over there and Cam Robinson was

42:28

a very very very useful resource.

42:30

He is the best as I

42:33

said read him on elite prospects.

42:35

Now let's discuss one more time

42:37

the Boston Bruins because David Posnerk

42:39

reached a hundred points for the

42:41

third straight year this season. He

42:43

did it yesterday in a I

42:45

believe seven to win over the

42:47

New Jersey Devils. Not great behavior

42:49

from the Bruins. You're trying to

42:51

get yourselves a tall, slow, bad

42:53

player. Argu worst behavior from the

42:56

New Jersey Devils got a chance

42:58

to lock up their playoff berth.

43:00

Really, worst behavior is the Caroline

43:02

Hurricanes the other night, but they've

43:04

got reinforcements coming, so good for

43:06

them. But David Posterk, a hundred

43:08

points for the third straight year,

43:10

not a common feat, and not

43:12

a common feat on a bad

43:14

team. And we have discussed... Maybe

43:16

less than we should have honestly

43:19

how bad the Bruins were this

43:21

season David Posterk I think is

43:23

probably the best player on a

43:25

bad team this year and I

43:27

was thinking about other ones Sydney

43:29

Crosby of course had a great

43:31

season because he always does Artimi

43:33

Pinerin always good Travis Knekney pretty

43:35

solid season on that bad Flyers

43:37

team Joey to court didn't have

43:39

the finest night last night but

43:42

Pretty bad crackin' team Joey Decord

43:44

was a real bright spot, but

43:46

no brighter spot on a bad

43:48

team this year than David Posterk.

43:50

So I'll just let you give

43:52

him his flowers and then I'm

43:54

going to give some information. from

43:56

our friend Scott McLaughlin. Yeah, I

43:58

mean, it's, I don't think it

44:00

needs to be said at this

44:02

point, but like, it's, it is

44:04

unbelievable how good he has been

44:07

on a really bad team with

44:09

like, I don't want to say

44:11

really bad line mates, but like

44:13

really underwhelming line mates and on

44:15

the wing. Like, it is so,

44:17

so difficult to drive as much

44:19

as Pashonok has driven with pretty

44:21

underwhelming line mates mates from the

44:23

wing. And like it's just kind

44:25

of unbelievable and it feels it

44:27

feels very bittersweet as a Bruins

44:30

fan because you feel like you

44:32

wasted a great great great like

44:34

Hall of Fame type season from

44:36

one of your best players. But

44:38

also like it gives you a

44:40

little bit of hope moving forward

44:42

that like this rebuild can move

44:44

a little bit faster. with a

44:46

guy like that at the top

44:48

of the lineup and You know

44:50

when you're when you're searching for

44:53

Centers and play driving centers like

44:55

the Bruins are you don't necessarily

44:57

need like the elite elite guy

44:59

when you have Posterk Like when

45:01

you look at when you look

45:03

at Tampa Bay You say like

45:05

yeah point point is like a

45:07

really really great player, but how

45:09

good would point be as like

45:11

your number one center without an

45:13

Akita Kucharoff? And I don't know

45:16

the answer to that. Like he

45:18

could be a great two C,

45:20

but is he like an unbelievable

45:22

top flight one C without Kucharoff?

45:24

It's a great question. I think

45:26

in this specific example, I love

45:28

Braden Point so much. So maybe

45:30

you're asking the wrong guy, but

45:32

that is a very valid question.

45:34

And I saw a thing from

45:36

one of the... people in the

45:38

chicklets family and I loved it

45:41

it was like my fair video

45:43

I think it was murals who

45:45

was saying that wingers we need

45:47

to do away with the winger

45:49

doesn't get Selke consideration. Oh no

45:51

that was the arms Colby Armstrong.

45:53

Oh is it Colby Armstrong and

45:55

he made he made it oh

45:57

I apologize because I absolutely love

45:59

Colby and yeah he's he's the

46:01

best I apologize and he made

46:04

the point of like wingers responsibilities

46:06

are so much greater now because

46:08

it's not quite a positionless game

46:10

but It's definitely not. The center

46:12

does all the work and the

46:14

winger goes stand along the wall,

46:16

wait for the breakout pass, and

46:18

that's it. You have to deal

46:20

with these incredible mobile defensemen. And

46:22

if I find the clip, I'll

46:24

throw it out there on Twitter

46:27

or whatever. But it just adds

46:29

to like, maybe my thing about,

46:31

you know what, I'd rather my

46:33

best player be a center or

46:35

a defenseman. That's becoming dated. And

46:37

obviously the proof is in the

46:39

pudding for the Bruins that. having

46:41

a great wing lead your team

46:43

does not automatically make you a

46:45

good team because the team is

46:47

junk without them but I can

46:50

wrap my head around more just

46:52

get decent centers get like well

46:54

yeah and that like get a

46:56

first and a half line center

46:58

get a second and a half

47:00

line center and like if one

47:02

of them is playing with David

47:04

pasta or not and Elias Lindh

47:06

home is not a first and

47:08

a half line center he is

47:10

a second and a half line

47:13

center get something and bad example

47:15

now because he looks good with

47:17

David pasta or not but that

47:19

takes it back all the way

47:21

around because Posternock's making anybody look

47:23

good. Yeah and I don't want

47:25

to like I don't want the

47:27

route to be twisted here like

47:29

Brayton Point is a really good

47:31

place. Little better than Elias. Yeah

47:33

right and the Bruins would be

47:35

fucking so lucky to have a

47:38

Brayton Point but yeah I don't

47:40

know Posternock is just... It's incredible

47:42

what he's kind of become over

47:44

the last couple of years, where

47:46

early on his career you had

47:48

doubts about his defensive play, you

47:50

had doubts about his physicality, what

47:52

he would develop into. He's just,

47:54

I would say like one of

47:56

the best three wingers in the

47:58

game. Yeah, and I love David

48:01

Post or not. I just did

48:03

not see that coming, especially with

48:05

how the season was unfolding. I

48:07

think eventually everything was going to

48:09

catch up to him and it

48:11

really didn't. Please don't waste, please

48:13

don't waste his prime years, please.

48:15

From Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.com and

48:17

also WEEI, you should check out

48:19

the skate podcast him and the

48:21

whole gang, excellent. in Scotts a

48:24

numbers driven guy really smart hockey

48:26

person from Scott McLaughlin. Posterk has

48:28

nearly twice as many points as

48:30

anyone else on the team. 48

48:32

more than second place geeky. That

48:34

is by far the biggest gap

48:36

between any team's leading and second

48:38

leading score. The Tampa Lightning are

48:40

second with a 32 point drop-off.

48:42

from Nikita Kucharov to Brandon Hegel.

48:44

Speaking of Kucharov, Posterk is 15

48:47

points behind him and 16 behind

48:49

Nathan McKinnon in the overall scoring

48:51

race, but he's actually outpacing everyone

48:53

in 5-on-5 scoring. Posterk, 62-5-on-5 points

48:55

are four more than second-place Kucharov

48:57

by seven. Another thing that he

48:59

adds for the season. David Posternock

49:01

has factored in on 47.2 of

49:03

all Bruins goals that is easily

49:05

the highest mark in the NHL.

49:07

McKinnon is second with a point

49:09

with a 40 a point on

49:12

43.9 percent of all Colorado goals.

49:14

The Bruins are plus 14 at

49:16

5.5 with Posternock on the ice

49:18

this season. They're minus 26 with

49:20

him off it. Read that post

49:22

from Scott McLaughlin because that is

49:24

a lot of numbers but It

49:26

is just a deluge of pasta

49:28

nocke is doing kind of everything

49:30

for the Bruins. Yeah, Bruins stink.

49:32

So someone's got to do everything.

49:35

It is a case of gold

49:37

among garbage, but it is a

49:39

case of gold. 100%. And that's

49:41

also as a chat pointed out,

49:43

like it's not not even mentioning

49:45

the fact that he had a

49:47

pretty slow start to the ear.

49:49

Yeah, a slow start to the

49:51

ear as the Bruins were trying

49:53

to figure things out and mixing.

49:55

and matching the lines. Like it

49:58

wasn't a horrible start, but it

50:00

was well below the pace that

50:02

he has now. And I mean,

50:04

that January that he had was

50:06

insane. 24 points and 14 games.

50:08

So yeah, it's just, it's a

50:10

bummer that it comes in this

50:12

season, but I just hope that

50:14

it gets widespread appreciation what he's

50:16

been able to do on this

50:18

bad of a team. David Pasharak

50:21

is in the second year of

50:23

his eight year deal. He's 28

50:25

years young. Is he the next

50:27

captain? of the Boston Bruins. Do

50:29

you want a captain based on

50:31

what you have seen since Brad

50:33

March on was traded? Do you

50:35

think the team needs to just

50:37

do a bunch of A's? Do

50:39

you give it a Charlie McAvoy?

50:41

Or right now I don't think

50:43

David Posternock's stock could be any

50:46

higher given the circumstances. I would

50:48

agree with that and I'll be

50:50

honest. I don't really care about

50:52

the captain thing. I don't. I

50:54

don't know. I wouldn't rush to

50:56

hand one out if they gave

50:58

it to Poshnok, I'd be happy

51:00

about it. If they gave it

51:02

to Mc Boy, I'd be like,

51:04

okay, I could see that too.

51:06

You were saying Zadorov earlier? That's

51:09

right. Yep. Morgan Giki should get

51:11

some consideration. I don't really care.

51:13

I don't really care. I don't

51:15

care about the captaincy thing when

51:17

you don't know what the team

51:19

looks like. Like, next year. And

51:21

so it's hard for me to

51:23

be like, that should be, that

51:25

guy should be wearing the C.

51:27

There's a lot of talk of

51:29

Casey going middle cap mode. I

51:32

don't think there is. Yeah, I

51:34

was seeing it on some boards.

51:36

Would you believe if I said

51:38

that I read anything on a

51:40

board? No. I'm not a board

51:42

guy. I tried to check the

51:44

what chaos discord the other day

51:46

and I've been logged out. My

51:48

password is, I just don't have

51:50

a password anymore. I'm just never

51:52

going to see that. I've said

51:55

this to you guys a few

51:57

times, so I don't think I've

51:59

said it on the show. I'm

52:01

fully on board with the Nikolai-Elers

52:03

to the Bruins. Oh, put him

52:05

with middle set. Yeah, I don't

52:07

hate that. I mean, you need

52:09

guys. Yeah, so you need guys.

52:11

You need two top six wingers,

52:13

who can score? I believe, unless

52:15

anything has changed, Karil Kaprizov will

52:17

return tonight for the Minnesota Wild.

52:20

Both Karil Kaprizov and Joel Ericssonek

52:22

are expected back. Kaprizov is missed

52:24

the last 28 games and 41

52:26

overall this season. I believe that

52:28

with Erickson and Ekzov returning. I

52:30

think that Middleton is the only

52:32

player I believe he's out. I

52:34

think that they're almost completely healthy

52:36

now. They're gonna kind of need

52:38

it because they got to make

52:40

the playoffs. How long is that

52:43

going to last? What? The playoffs

52:45

are that being healthy? Both. But

52:47

how long is the Minnesota Wild

52:49

being healthy going to last? Because

52:51

tell you what? It has just

52:53

been a rotating door of major

52:55

injuries all year long for the

52:57

wild. So let's hope for the

52:59

best there. And Gabriel Landesgog, loaned

53:01

to Colorado Eagles for a conditioning

53:03

stint. It is a conditioning stint

53:06

season. You're gonna be seeing a

53:08

lot of stuff about Landisgog. You're

53:10

gonna see your Evander Keynes of

53:12

the world, your guys that technically

53:14

are still hockey players that just

53:16

haven't played hockey in forever. Conditioning.

53:18

Conditioning to expect him to return.

53:20

This is the closest we've gotten

53:22

to like actually seeing him play

53:24

a game. He's taken line rushes.

53:26

What? Yeah, taking line rushes with

53:29

the Eagles. Second line. Oh, what's

53:31

happening? This is exciting. As much

53:33

as we dump on the Landis

53:35

Gag thing, like I mean, I

53:37

said before the show, like the

53:39

introduction, like the introduction, like the

53:41

arena is now, ball center is

53:43

going to be electric. It is

53:45

going to be insane, especially if

53:47

it's game one of the playoffs.

53:49

Like I would be so nervous

53:51

for him heading in. to game

53:54

one of the playoffs, if that's

53:56

his debut, just like, is he

53:58

even, like, supposed to be playing?

54:00

Game, game three. Gotta wait till

54:02

game three. Give him two games

54:04

off, because he'll be on the

54:06

road, and then game three, come

54:08

back. They let them get their

54:10

feet on a number of playoffs.

54:12

Gay Blannes-Cock, come on down, and

54:14

it'll be elected. It will, especially

54:17

if they're like up to nothing.

54:19

If they're, if they're down to

54:21

nothing, then you get gay, then

54:23

you get gay Blannes-to-to-to-to-a-a-a-s, then you

54:25

get, then you get gay Blannes-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s,

54:27

save-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a O'Connor McDavidly on Dry Side,

54:29

Mattias at home, Stu Skinner, and

54:31

Evander Kane on the ice at

54:33

Morning Skate. And from Daniel Nugent

54:35

Bowman, the key players on the

54:37

ice weren't taking main roles in

54:40

line rushes, an indication they aren't

54:42

likely to play. Skinner is splitting

54:44

time in the visiting net with

54:46

Rod Riggs, so expect Pickard to

54:48

start. So that is that on

54:50

the injury front and the last

54:52

thing before we jump ahead to

54:54

a slate grade is somebody in

54:56

the chat said, Manifest elers to

54:58

Spokes City. And we've talked about

55:00

giving people to spokes. When you

55:03

toss up the double finger. Love

55:05

Spoke City Spoke City especially when

55:07

they're famously is a city that

55:09

starts with spoke Spokane. Yes, and

55:11

there's They don't have an NHL

55:13

team. They can't be Spoke City

55:15

in the Detroit Red Wings whose

55:17

logo has far more spokes than

55:19

the Boston Bro. No, I you

55:21

know what? I think I'm gonna

55:23

dust off my I'm gonna oil

55:25

the old bootleg merch joints and

55:28

make some Spoke City stuff for

55:30

Pete Hell yes, welcome to Spoke

55:32

City and the Red Wings the

55:34

Red Wings sing doesn't apply because

55:36

that is not the most famous

55:38

part of their their logo like

55:40

Nobody's paying attention to the spokes

55:42

on the Red Wings logo. I

55:44

mean I guess Spoke City part

55:46

of their logo though if the

55:48

NHL had like City Connect jerseys

55:51

which if anybody's listening from like

55:53

fanatics or whatever Pretend you didn't

55:55

hear that I don't want fucking

55:57

City Connect jerseys for the NHL,

55:59

but if they have them. The

56:01

Bruins would just have like a

56:03

giant Spoke City Jersey. You know,

56:05

I refuse to acknowledge. I just

56:07

want to, I will not acknowledge

56:09

them as Spoke City at any

56:11

point. Oh my God. If you

56:14

call them Spoke City, I will

56:16

start asking. It's a Spoke City

56:18

thing. Yeah, right. A Bean Town

56:20

thing? What? It's like just like

56:22

Meantown? No, wait a that is.

56:24

Every one here. That's why, that's

56:26

one. Number one reason why I'm

56:28

on board with Spoke City is

56:30

so that it can kick Beantown's

56:32

ass and they never have to

56:34

hear a fucking Beantown ever again.

56:37

Just so you know? It is

56:39

a great signifier of you are

56:41

not fucking from here. Yeah, just

56:43

so all the listeners who aren't

56:45

from Boston, they say same thing.

56:47

We need a... They say to

56:49

me, they're like, oh, bean from

56:51

bean town. I thought you'd never

56:53

say it. Yeah. It's actually named

56:55

after DJ. We need it on

56:57

it. We need dueling switchboards for

56:59

this show, so we can like,

57:02

fucking mute, Sean, if we need

57:04

to. Oh. You've talked about wanting

57:06

to be able to like, be

57:08

more free with the drops? Yeah.

57:10

I need it for drops. Pete

57:12

needs it for winning Arkansas. Shut

57:14

the Arkansas. Shut. I will imprison

57:16

my political. And you guys won't

57:18

get the thought anymore. I lie,

57:20

I, I, Sean, I demand you

57:22

never change that. It's a spoke

57:25

city thing, please go back to

57:27

pimp. We're playing the long game.

57:29

We're introducing, like, increasingly bad. Verbiage.

57:31

Spoke City does have massive like

57:33

NBA City edition like like Cream

57:35

City. Spoke City. You know what

57:37

I just remembered? We are making

57:39

our return to the airwaves in

57:41

Spoke City today. We will be

57:43

on Felger and Mass today in

57:45

Boston. We are definitely, one of

57:48

us is definitely dropping Spoke City.

57:50

Also at some point. The funny

57:52

part about Spoke City. The funny

57:54

thing is, yeah, I would love

57:56

God, oh man, I want to

57:58

see Felger. You have to ask

58:00

Felger at some point whether or

58:02

not he considers something pimp. Hell

58:04

yes. to directly acknowledge him. Just

58:06

be like, okay, you don't want

58:08

him to take big slow guys.

58:11

Well, what if they, I don't

58:13

know, what if they take an

58:15

undersized guy? Like, is that pimp

58:17

enough for you? Or, or are

58:19

you like pushing back on a

58:21

contrary intake, being like, Felger, that

58:23

is so not pimp. So, if

58:25

you're, if you're listening to the

58:27

show and you're from the Boston

58:29

area and you're, you listen to

58:31

Felger and Maz later, DJ&P bring

58:34

a pimp energy that this show

58:36

severely lacks. I just wanted to

58:38

also point out. Spoke City has

58:40

needed voices like this on the

58:42

airwaves. Calling it Spoke City when

58:44

there's like three other teams here

58:46

and none of them have spokes,

58:48

like making it very brew and

58:50

specific, but calling it all Spoke

58:52

City is funny. Dude, I... You

58:54

don't understand. Like in my brain,

58:56

I'm not even fucking talking to

58:59

you guys right now. I am

59:01

buying a sewing machine. And I

59:03

can think of the items, and

59:05

Pete's going to be the only

59:07

person that wears them, because they're

59:09

going to be one of one

59:11

items. I'm going to collab with

59:13

my guy Ben from Genius Jackets,

59:15

and we're going to make some

59:17

sick Spokesity stuff. It's going to

59:19

be scared. No. It's got to,

59:22

I just want, that's not a

59:24

Spokes City attitude. Hashtag spokes up,

59:26

embroidered somewhere on it. Absolutely not.

59:28

Do we need the hashtag. Yes,

59:30

all right. See, Sean, you contributed,

59:32

you're in. I'm in on the,

59:34

I'm in on the chaos and

59:36

kind of making people like a

59:38

fool. Hashtag spokes up is the

59:40

one on easily. Blanks up is

59:42

the latest thing in the world.

59:45

No, hashtag spokes up on one

59:47

and then up the spokes on

59:49

the other. Just all the, yeah,

59:51

just as many, just go like

59:53

pro standard, just as many, as

59:55

much shit on it as possible

59:57

of just spoke city, hashtagtag spokes

59:59

up. Up the spokes. Brother, we're

1:00:01

gonna give you the spoke mind

1:00:03

virus. Get spoke. Yeah, stay spoke

1:00:05

not woke. Okay, no sleigh grade,

1:00:08

we've been canceled. All right kid,

1:00:10

let's do a sleigh grade, shall

1:00:12

we? Interesting one tonight, what are

1:00:14

we got? Five? Five games, Maple

1:00:16

Leafs at the Lightning, 7 p.m.

1:00:18

Eastern, 7 p.m. Eastern, there aren't

1:00:20

a lot, I rocked my brain

1:00:22

and then I even looked it

1:00:24

up. There aren't a lot of,

1:00:26

there's not a lot of great

1:00:28

Maple Leafs, lightning, lightning, and a

1:00:30

few teams. That's at 7 p.m.

1:00:33

Eastern. It's because they're closer to

1:00:35

similar. Yeah, you're not gonna, if

1:00:37

you play for one of those

1:00:39

teams, you're not gonna do the

1:00:41

other. Right. Flyers at the Rangers,

1:00:43

7.30 p.m. Eastern, that's on TNT

1:00:45

in a Kevin Hayes bowl. Eric

1:00:47

Lindross, Kevin Hayes fingerprints are all

1:00:49

over. Did you see if they're

1:00:51

introducing a? fingerprint emoji to the

1:00:53

next Apple update. Really? Oh, I

1:00:56

love this for us. Needed that.

1:00:58

Needed that? I mean, yes, it

1:01:00

still has use, but the use

1:01:02

it would have had last year.

1:01:04

Oh, we would have run that

1:01:06

thing into the ground. How about

1:01:08

the sharks at the Wild 8

1:01:10

p.m. Eastern? There's gotta be one

1:01:12

person that screams at you when

1:01:14

you see sharks and wild, right?

1:01:16

Brent Burns Bowl. Very good. Blues

1:01:19

at the Oilers 10 p. 10

1:01:21

p. This is a

1:01:23

Philip Broberg and Dylan. Well, it's not

1:01:25

a good all-away revenge game. It's a

1:01:27

Philip Broberg revenge game. But it's also

1:01:30

a... Blues and Oilers. It's a Wayne

1:01:32

Gretske game. Oh, I didn't even think...

1:01:34

Like, your Wayne Gretske is Corey Perry.

1:01:37

Corey Barry didn't play for the Blues,

1:01:39

did he? Are we doing this again?

1:01:41

Because I also didn't think that Corey

1:01:43

Perry played for the Blues, but we

1:01:46

did this exact same thing yesterday. I'm

1:01:48

gonna like I gotta I gotta stop

1:01:50

saying like that person didn't play for

1:01:53

that, right? Oh, you know what? He

1:01:55

didn't and do you know who I

1:01:57

absolutely confused him with in my brain?

1:02:00

Who? Horrible behavior. Pat maroon. Pat maroon.

1:02:02

Pat maroon bowl. Yeah. It is a

1:02:04

Pat maroon bowl. I'm glad as the

1:02:06

the Corey Perry guy on the show

1:02:09

that I. Yeah, that would have been

1:02:11

a bad look. Yeah, I was gonna

1:02:13

say, I was like, didn't he like

1:02:16

win a cup with them? Didn't people

1:02:18

get it? And then as I was

1:02:20

like, oh no, people wouldn't have gotten

1:02:23

excited about that. Pat maroon did it.

1:02:25

Flames. I won't say

1:02:27

definitely not. I'll say probably not.

1:02:29

I also don't know if Ilya

1:02:31

Leibouchekin played for the Flames, but

1:02:33

I do know that he played

1:02:35

for the Ducks. I will say

1:02:37

that it's a Jonas-Hiller bowl. Oh

1:02:39

yeah, that's a good one. The

1:02:41

great Jonas-Hiller. He has not played

1:02:43

for the Flames Lebouchentz game. Not

1:02:45

bad. But given that it's a

1:02:47

revenge game. Back says, talk about

1:02:49

Sergei Cheb's reaction to feedback. Third

1:02:51

Best highlight from last night's slate.

1:02:53

I don't understand what that means.

1:02:55

I did see the Sergei Chev

1:02:57

likes the the vegheads. Yeah, he

1:02:59

likes I I think he specifically

1:03:01

said I like when they wear

1:03:03

vegetables on their heads. I mean

1:03:05

that that's what I like about

1:03:07

them as well. I love Sergei

1:03:09

Chev so much. I love Utah

1:03:11

hockey club in what I was

1:03:13

saying to you before the show

1:03:15

Sean at this point in the

1:03:17

season. I feel like clubbers aren't

1:03:19

even mad. So just overcome with

1:03:21

joy and great behavior by the

1:03:23

Utah Hockey Club. They're doing some

1:03:25

promotion where if you go to

1:03:27

the game, they will put an

1:03:29

inaugural season patch on pretty much

1:03:31

anything you want. I want to

1:03:33

go there with like an ice

1:03:35

cream. They're going to just smack

1:03:37

it on there. I love So

1:03:39

I don't know if I want

1:03:41

to call it a redemption arc,

1:03:43

but like I like Sergei Chev

1:03:46

stunks because I was pretty down

1:03:48

on him not only because of

1:03:50

like the injury stuff, but like

1:03:52

I thought he was kind of

1:03:54

an asshole in Tampa I thought

1:03:56

he complained a lot, I thought

1:03:58

he was just like a little

1:04:00

bit of a bitch, he had

1:04:02

some bitch all over him. I

1:04:04

could... do a little asshole. I

1:04:06

don't have a bitch, but it's

1:04:08

your read not my, bitchy, bitchy.

1:04:10

And I've come around on circuit

1:04:12

chef. He's a very fun player.

1:04:14

Got a white stick, got chickens.

1:04:16

He really likes Utah. Yeah, and

1:04:18

maybe that's erased some of those

1:04:20

other unpalatable things about him for

1:04:22

me. But yeah, shout out to

1:04:24

Michael Circuit. He's been a lot

1:04:26

of fun. Also, Ray Sherrow died.

1:04:28

Yeah. What? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Is

1:04:30

this now? This happened, is this

1:04:32

breaking news? Yeah. Oh, terrible. Yeah.

1:04:34

R.I.P. Ray Sherrow. Ah, yeah. I

1:04:36

mean, great. Great executive. Wow. Uh,

1:04:38

huge bummer. Well, that's a bummer.

1:04:40

Damn. Yes. Tough way to end

1:04:42

the show. No, we can do

1:04:44

one more little thing on Utah

1:04:46

Hockey Club, which is that they're

1:04:48

also selling goalpox. And... I saw

1:04:50

Cole Bagley if you're not. Goal

1:04:52

pucks? Goal pucks. Like pucks that

1:04:54

were shot into the net in

1:04:56

NHL games. And they have a

1:04:58

section that's Utah goals, non- Utah

1:05:00

goals. And I was like, man,

1:05:02

I'd have a tough time if

1:05:04

I were in that store not

1:05:06

getting a thing or two. I

1:05:08

saw next to it they had

1:05:10

gloves. So I was like, I

1:05:12

would end up being distracted and

1:05:14

getting the gloves. But. We saw

1:05:16

we saw a really good Sergei

1:05:18

Chev goal. Was it in the

1:05:20

Carolina game or the Vegas game

1:05:22

that we attended? Where Sergei Chev

1:05:24

stepped up like right in the

1:05:26

middle of the offensive zone. I

1:05:28

believe that was the I believe

1:05:30

that was a Vegas game. I

1:05:32

believe I could be wrong, but

1:05:34

that game that goal was electric

1:05:36

and I believe it was the

1:05:38

game winning goal. He scored in

1:05:40

back-to-back games. No, I mean they

1:05:42

lost to Vegas. So he scored

1:05:44

back-to-back games. Both games we attended.

1:05:46

We saw Sergei Chev goals? I

1:05:48

love that for my guys. Was

1:05:50

it a game-winning goal? It was

1:05:52

not in either, but let's see.

1:05:54

He's got chickens. I was gonna

1:05:56

say, it seems like kind of

1:05:58

everybody fucking loves. Utah. Seems like

1:06:01

they're all really enjoying it. We

1:06:03

were there, we really liked it,

1:06:05

vibe was good. Once they get

1:06:07

like their arena up and running,

1:06:09

like the final product, that place

1:06:11

is going to be a destination. Yeah,

1:06:13

it's funny because like, I think

1:06:16

they probably all for the ones that

1:06:18

were there, like really enjoyed living

1:06:20

in Arizona too, but that only

1:06:22

gets you so far when your work

1:06:25

environment's dog shit. So them having

1:06:27

a good work environment and liking

1:06:29

where they live. Seems pretty nice.

1:06:31

Also, I told you guys this

1:06:33

after the show yesterday. Only team in

1:06:35

the NHL with two 50 point scorers under

1:06:38

the age of 22. They are, the

1:06:40

future is bright. And that's part of

1:06:42

why I think they're probably, part of

1:06:44

why I think they're probably okay with

1:06:46

not being the playoffs because they're clearly

1:06:48

moving in the right direction. Okay, I

1:06:51

give this slate an A minus, of

1:06:53

course, how are we looking on the

1:06:55

tuck? And then like if you like

1:06:57

are a kind of a weirdo, you

1:06:59

can check out Flames Ducks. But

1:07:01

yeah, if Blues Oilers should be

1:07:04

funish. Blues Oilers should be fun

1:07:06

depending on I want McDavid

1:07:08

to play. Doesn't seem like he's

1:07:10

going to. We'll keep an eye

1:07:12

on that. And I don't know.

1:07:14

Maybe the, what's that? It's a

1:07:16

bad slate. But maybe the Ducks

1:07:18

after, maybe it was just like a

1:07:21

particular thing the other night

1:07:23

where they were so pissy and

1:07:25

shitty. If they're gonna do that

1:07:27

the rest of the season, I'm

1:07:29

watching every Ducks game. Yeah, this

1:07:31

is still a- But that was

1:07:33

like, they had something to prove

1:07:35

against, like, a team that's gonna

1:07:37

make the playoffs. Are they really

1:07:39

gonna try to bully the Flames?

1:07:41

The team that they played the

1:07:43

other night is not going to make

1:07:46

the playoffs. The laundry is? Right,

1:07:48

their equipment manager, which by the

1:07:50

way, I've been watching the Oilers

1:07:52

version of Behind the B, and

1:07:54

their- I think it's their video

1:07:57

coach is a madman and he reads

1:07:59

their line up cards. I'm going

1:08:01

to show it to you after

1:08:03

the show. The guy gets in

1:08:05

there. It's the Foley character, basically.

1:08:07

Matt Foley. Matt Foley. He gets

1:08:10

in there and he's just he's

1:08:12

got his tie around his head.

1:08:14

Okay. Screaming at people. I'm like,

1:08:16

they showed it and it was

1:08:18

Max Jones's first game with a

1:08:20

team and he just sat in

1:08:23

the corner like. The fuck did

1:08:25

I get myself into? Oh yeah,

1:08:27

that's right. The Rangers Flyers game

1:08:29

tonight is the Sam Rosen, John

1:08:31

Davidson, Reunion. Also no R&H. Oh

1:08:34

my god. Oh wow, Chris is

1:08:36

in our chat saying and I

1:08:38

was reading his retweet. Yep, Philip

1:08:40

will be in a lineup leaving

1:08:42

Edmonton with 11 forward 60 for

1:08:45

a second straight game. Oh, gross.

1:08:47

Yeah, no talk drops at 822.

1:08:49

Ryan and Jean Hopkins out? Yep.

1:08:51

It appears so. It's important. No

1:08:53

important note. The puck drops at

1:08:56

822 at 822. So it. it's

1:08:58

a was gonna say a 22

1:09:00

local time it's a 1022 east

1:09:02

okay all right so the structure

1:09:04

is a little bit better it's

1:09:06

more to say they drop an

1:09:09

822 puck for a 10 o'clock

1:09:11

game is gonna be quite empty

1:09:13

is Corey Perry playing tell me

1:09:15

that let's hope I mean he

1:09:17

has to they've had like nine

1:09:20

forwards the other night at one

1:09:22

point they got a bob a

1:09:24

bob line tweet so I'll say

1:09:26

like If you're gonna go in

1:09:28

like one direction, I'd like to

1:09:31

see what the Oilers look like

1:09:33

as just like an absolute skeleton

1:09:35

squad. That's my thought right now

1:09:37

where I'm like, maybe they're being

1:09:39

cautious with McDavid and dry-sidal or

1:09:41

whatever and they're like, we saw

1:09:44

a last game against the Ducks,

1:09:46

we're not going to win. Like

1:09:48

even if we outplay them, chances

1:09:50

are, the other team has their

1:09:52

best players, we don't. So it's

1:09:55

unfair to expect Connor Brown to

1:09:57

actually score goals, so we are

1:09:59

just going to rest everybody. R&E.

1:10:01

just sick, according to Tony Barr.

1:10:03

Yeah, he's had to play for

1:10:06

this Oilers. Yeah, already just sick.

1:10:08

Philip draws in, 11-6, Pickard starts,

1:10:10

Nowlox says he expects all injured

1:10:12

players to return before the playoffs.

1:10:14

Oops, all, as I, the Ducks

1:10:16

game the other day, I said,

1:10:19

was oops, all loops, so. It's,

1:10:21

The freshman team. Okay, this light

1:10:23

gets a, we're after careful consideration

1:10:25

in A minus. B plus. But

1:10:27

let your main takeaway, yeah, B

1:10:30

plus, let the main takeaway from

1:10:32

today's show be that Spokes City

1:10:34

has legs, it has spokes. For

1:10:36

the record, I've kind of come

1:10:38

around on it. I think I've

1:10:41

done a full laugh on it

1:10:43

and I think I'm pro Spokes

1:10:45

City because it's the most ridiculous

1:10:47

they've ever heard. It's I think

1:10:49

I think Sean like stole my

1:10:51

enthusiasm for it. Yeah. With like

1:10:54

the fact really hashtag. Yeah. Like

1:10:56

I'm out on it. Yeah. I

1:10:58

like the just that the hashtag

1:11:00

is a little much for me.

1:11:02

But I'm always willing to find

1:11:05

out if it's too much. I'm

1:11:07

always willing to find out if

1:11:09

it's too much. I think that

1:11:11

might I might run that into

1:11:13

the ground next year. Anytime something

1:11:16

bad happens at the brewing I'm

1:11:18

like. It's Spoke City, baby. You're

1:11:20

not a real Bruins fan if

1:11:22

you don't, if you don't know

1:11:24

Spoke City. What's the Felger deal?

1:11:26

We'll be on with Felger and

1:11:29

Maz at 3 p.m. Eastern and

1:11:31

the United States and Canada. Make

1:11:33

sure, I think you can find

1:11:35

their email somewhere, they have it,

1:11:37

and they do the email and

1:11:40

that Spoke City. needs a new

1:11:42

face, stuff like that. All right,

1:11:44

we'll talk to you tomorrow. Tata.
