I kid. Pete would make that
0:54
joke. My name is David Bean.
0:56
I sit beside Pete Blackburn and
0:58
across the room is Sean DePaz.
1:00
Welcome to Canada, Pete. Hey, welcome
1:02
to Canada, David. Welcome back to
1:04
Canada, David. Welcome to Canada, David.
1:06
Welcome to Canada, Sean DePaz. Thank
1:09
you. I don't know who to
1:11
welcome to Canada now because... Is
1:13
this everyone's first time in Canada?
1:15
No. It is my first time
1:17
in Edmonton, Alberta. It's my first
1:19
time west of like St. Catherine's
1:21
Ontario. This is like my 30th
1:23
time in Canada probably. We picked
1:25
a hell of a time to
1:27
come to Edmonton because, uh, Connor,
1:29
out, Leon, maybe out, and Snowstorm.
1:32
It is snowing like the, like
1:34
the demon outside. I like
1:36
it. I wouldn't want my Edmonton
1:39
experience to be any other way. Yeah,
1:41
I like, when I came in June, people
1:43
were like, oh well, this isn't
1:45
really, you're skewed by, it's the
1:47
cup final and it's nice out,
1:49
come another time of year. Evanton
1:52
Grade A. I fucking love this
1:54
town. It's not windy or anything.
1:56
It's not like crazy cold. It's
1:58
just snowing like crazy. I had
2:00
a breakfast this morning and basically my
2:02
first Albert, Albertonian, Edmontonian interaction was me
2:04
eavesdropping on the guy next to me
2:07
at breakfast talking about how he killed
2:09
20 to 30 elk who were blocking
2:11
a road and then he caught all
2:13
their heads off. So shout out Western
2:15
Canada. And he saw you eaves dropping
2:18
and then he turned and he was
2:20
like, what are you going to do
2:22
about it? Your next session. No, it
2:24
sounded more like a municipal thing. more
2:26
than like a like a murderous rampage
2:29
taking care of a problem. Yes, it
2:31
was it was all above board. Yes,
2:33
it was authorized. He wants all the
2:35
folks on the show today. I would
2:37
love to do that. We're gonna talk
2:40
about John Tortorella because John Tortorella is
2:42
out he is out of the head
2:44
coach of the Philadelphia Flyers. He was
2:46
fired by himself. Because he had some
2:49
crazy ass comments earlier this week. We
2:51
talked about him yesterday. We'll talk about
2:53
the whole tort situation We're going to
2:55
be joined by Charlie O'Connor from pH
2:57
L-L-Y P. H-L-Y P-L-Y P-L-Y-H-L-Y-H-L-Y-Y-H-L-Y-Y-H-L-Y-Y-L-Y-S-I-I-E-L-Y-Y-S-I-S-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-S-I-S-I-I-S-I-I-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S captivating everybody.
3:00
Basically, you got Ashton Hall and Jacob
3:02
Chikran just setting the tone for how
3:04
to live your life. And finally, Tank's
3:06
so good. We had the Tank Thon
3:08
this morning, Boston Bruins, getting Michael Misa
3:11
at the number one spot. Is Ashton
3:13
Hall the man with the Saratoga Springs
3:15
water? Yes. Okay, I was, I'm glad
3:17
you made that reference because I was
3:19
thinking the same thing. You got one
3:22
guy who is hammering water and another
3:24
guy who could probably tell you why
3:26
water is bad for you. Yeah, oh
3:28
man, I want to get Jacob checked
3:30
on the show for a million different
3:33
reasons now, but one of them being
3:35
like we would absolutely have to ask
3:37
him what he thinks about Ashton Hall.
3:39
Yeah, I think that he would be
3:42
like that. I can see how that's
3:44
all lit. It's not good. Yeah, it's
3:46
well lit video. I wouldn't support it.
3:48
Though when he says thank you to
3:50
the man off screen who's handing him
3:53
a towel, he could have been eating
3:55
protein instead. You know what's shocking is
3:57
we have not, I have not seen
3:59
a single meme about Jacob Chikrin with
4:01
the Donald Trump turn those lights off.
4:04
Oh, true. Yeah, all of our lovely
4:06
meemers, maybe you get on that. But
4:08
yeah, that little first note and the
4:10
brunt of the brunt of the brunt
4:12
of the show is going to the
4:15
show is going to be going to
4:17
be going to be going to be
4:19
going to be going to be going
4:21
to be going to be going to
4:23
be going to be going to be.
4:26
Tortarella because what he did was unbelievable
4:28
never really seen anything like it, but
4:30
we are in Edmonton. Can we get
4:32
a like a travel grade? Travel grade
4:35
A. We don't do A-plus is it
4:37
was an A. It was we were
4:39
a little bit worried. We flew on
4:41
a prop plane. It was not a
4:43
real plane. It was just a prop.
4:46
Not like Dunkirk. The ships were real.
4:48
We flew on a prop plane to
4:50
Ottawa, which we were a little bit
4:52
worried. We were a little bit worried.
4:54
We're a little bit worried. We're a
4:57
little bit worried. anxious flying boys we
4:59
were like oh do we want to
5:01
get on this tiny little fake-ass plane
5:03
with props to go to Ottawa it
5:05
was totally fine it was I was
5:08
getting on the plane though made it
5:10
way worse yeah because you're like pretty
5:12
low to the ground it was like
5:14
a low riding plane like it couldn't
5:17
stand up all the way on the
5:19
plane and you could see the landing
5:21
gear in the propellers outside of our
5:23
window see comfort grade a minus for
5:25
sure yeah like the plane didn't have
5:28
shock shock absororbersers no you could feel
5:30
the only bad thing and I'm kind
5:32
of spoiling it's spoiling it but That
5:34
flight was perfect. Yeah, it was really
5:36
good. Completely pleasant. But the only thing
5:39
was, and it just took a second
5:41
of getting used to, like, you could
5:43
kind of feel the plane. Yeah. You
5:45
could just like, it was just a
5:47
small little plane, like you could feel
5:50
it in your seat. It had, what
5:52
do they have at the movie theaters?
5:54
Like the butt kickers? Yeah, whatever they
5:56
called. They had. you could like you
5:58
could feel the throttle like when the
6:01
you could feel whatever the pilot was
6:03
doing up there in the cockpit you
6:05
you could feel it but that flight
6:07
was and then I thought okay well
6:10
then I didn't do clonipin for this
6:12
one I'll do clonipin for the second
6:14
flight because that's where they're gonna get
6:16
you that's the one that we would
6:18
think would be easy and smooth and
6:21
that one's gonna be treacherous I ended
6:23
up holding off my drug intake and
6:25
that flight and now we're attempting fade
6:27
on the flight. Yes, they know what
6:29
they're doing on a corner free drinks
6:32
free free free alcohol free alcohol and
6:34
porter lights a red wine on the
6:36
on the way from Ottawa to Edmonton
6:38
and a nice little moosehead logger was
6:40
beautiful nice Also layover grade a because
6:43
we got to well it was an
6:45
a minus but it was a high
6:47
grade a minus because I got accosted
6:49
at the airport for a reason that
6:52
I'm still unaware of But then but
6:54
then we saw like in Ottawa senators
6:56
senators airport stop and I bought this
6:58
cool ass hat buying doing a pro
7:00
shop wars buying team merch at your
7:03
45 minute layover could be the move
7:05
amazing I was I had a layover
7:07
in Miami one time and they had
7:09
a Miami heat team store so when
7:11
I saw the table of sense stuff
7:14
I was like please have a senator's
7:16
team store here they didn't but all
7:18
this man needs as a table with
7:20
a few shirts a few sweatshirts The
7:22
sweatshirts were very nice. The hats were
7:25
very nice. You did get kind of
7:27
fucked because you paid US prices. Yeah,
7:29
well, you kind of fucked me. I
7:31
said, oh man, this hat's like $48.
7:33
And you said, brother, that's Canadian. We're
7:36
in Canada. You'll be fine. I checked
7:38
out. It was like $74. And I
7:40
was like, OK. This was not Canadian
7:42
pricing. That's how they get you. But
7:45
you know what? You're going to make
7:47
it all back because today we taped.
7:49
Pro Shop or Edmonton. That's true. I
7:51
don't know if any of us are
7:53
right. We've been moving so fast. I
7:56
still have no idea what I'm going
7:58
to do in there. All I know
8:00
is I don't think they have carts,
8:02
but legitimately if they when he walked
8:04
in that they were like, would you
8:07
like a cart? I would say absolutely
8:09
give us a car. One of those
8:11
like palate things. Oh yeah. The people
8:13
of Edmonton have been very kind. It's
8:15
been a bunch of people in our
8:18
DEMs, like offering help and ride and
8:20
stuff like that, which just have merch
8:22
holders. Can you just get us a
8:24
shopping cart? No, just have someone just,
8:26
they can be the shopping cart. They
8:29
can, you just hand it to them.
8:31
They hold it to them. I've been
8:33
like dancing around what to call the
8:35
the second person in Ashton Hall's video.
8:38
I've referred to the woman as a
8:40
slave yesterday and I... It was the
8:42
way was it a woman? It's a
8:44
woman. Okay I was gonna say because
8:46
I would just call if it was
8:49
somebody that was assisting with something just
8:51
the boy. I mean is it problematic
8:53
to call the woman the boy?
8:55
She he treats her like the
8:57
boy. fluid and quite frankly construct.
8:59
I believe we have our guest
9:02
for our big conversation but we'll
9:04
start it off by just setting
9:06
it up before we get to
9:08
Charlie O'Connor. John Tortorello successfully fired
9:10
himself because we saw the clip
9:12
after the loss to the Leafs
9:14
in which he was like I'll
9:16
be honest this is not I'm
9:18
not comfortable or interested in doing
9:21
this and we discussed it yesterday
9:23
on the show. I liked the
9:25
honesty, we both agreed though, you
9:27
can't do that. Turns out you
9:29
can if you're cool with getting
9:31
fired. Which like, based off the
9:33
energy behind the quotes and the
9:35
energy of John Tortorella in general,
9:38
like, seemed like he might have
9:40
been cool getting fired from the
9:42
Philadelphia Flyers. Yeah, and the, what
9:44
it leads us to, and Charlie
9:46
will factor into this conversation, is
9:48
what's his move. And I think
9:50
that this time in his time
9:52
in his life. He's like, maybe
9:55
I don't need a move. I'm
9:57
not going to retire, but I
9:59
can... a beat for like I
10:01
am a household name I am
10:03
a celebrity I can have TV
10:05
gigs if I want to keep
10:07
coaching I could definitely coach in
10:09
some capacity here's what I know
10:12
I started off a seven I
10:14
had a what a seven game
10:16
home stand and that began a
10:18
stretch of 11 losses in 12
10:20
games something like that yeah this
10:22
ain't it chief so I'm gonna
10:24
do what I always do which
10:26
is wear my heart on my
10:29
sleeve I'm gonna try to be
10:31
respectful but Mista Mista! Get me
10:33
the ass out of here. Yeah,
10:35
and before we bring on Charlie,
10:37
like just the rundown of kind
10:39
of where the Flyers are right
10:41
now, they've lost six in a
10:43
row, they've lost 11 out of
10:46
their last 12, they have the
10:48
lowest points percentage in the Eastern
10:50
Conference, even lower than the Buffalo
10:52
Sabres, they have one more point
10:54
than Buffalo. Then Buffalo in the
10:56
standings, but with two more games
10:58
played. Torts has one year had
11:00
one more year remaining on his
11:03
contract around $4 million. bullet points
11:05
here of this situation. So do
11:07
you want to bring in our
11:09
friend Charlie? Let's bring on Charlie
11:11
O'Connor, one of the great voices
11:13
in hockey and certainly the preeminent
11:15
voice on all things Philadelphia Flyers.
11:17
Charlie from PHLY, how are you
11:20
my friend? You busy today? I'm
11:22
sorry I can't hear you guys.
11:24
Oh, hello? No. Can you just
11:26
listen? Are you not paying attention?
11:29
Just pay attention when we're talking open
11:31
those ears. Yeah clean them out. Yeah
11:33
skill issue All right, I think I
11:35
could hear you guys now. You got
11:38
us dear friend Chuck. Yeah, I got
11:40
you We sang your praises and we
11:42
reported this is going to be surprised
11:44
to you that John Torturella has been
11:46
fired. Did Pete said yesterday on the
11:48
show, he was like, I hadn't considered
11:51
the John Torturella getting fired angle at
11:53
all in Philadelphia. You're watching this team
11:55
every day. day and covering them as
11:57
they are sucking balls, so to speak.
11:59
So were you considering it before those
12:01
comments or did this all happen really
12:04
quickly? Well, I think it was a
12:06
very legitimate possibility they were going to
12:08
move on from him at the end
12:10
of the season. I was still probably
12:12
leaning towards them keeping him, I think
12:15
they may have been leaning towards keeping
12:17
him too. But it was definitely a
12:19
possibility. that they were going to evaluate
12:21
at the end of the season that
12:23
they needed a new person at the
12:25
top. The players were for quite a
12:28
while. Players did not love playing under
12:30
John's word. I know that that will
12:32
come as a shock to you. Massive
12:34
bombshell. But, but they were still playing
12:36
hard. As recently as last week, you
12:38
know, they lost three games last week,
12:41
but they played. Tampa Bay, Washington, and
12:43
Dallas really tough. They took Dallas to
12:45
overtime. They were playing solid hockey. They
12:47
just didn't have the horses to score
12:49
against really good teams. I do think
12:52
that the start of this week, they
12:54
lose seven four to the Blackhawks, the
12:56
second worst team in the league. They
12:58
lose seven two to the Toronto Maple
13:00
Leafs in the center of the hockey
13:02
world. And then the comments that John
13:05
Tour de Rella made. I was the
13:07
one who asked the question that got
13:09
toward a relative to go down that
13:11
rabbit hole. So it's your fault. It's
13:13
all my fault actually. You blew it
13:15
off. Peter Zadoro. There we go. I
13:18
in the moment didn't take them as
13:20
badly as I think social media did
13:22
because to me it played more that
13:24
Tortorell was trying to kind of fall
13:26
on the sword for his guys and
13:29
basically say, this is on me, I
13:31
need to do a better job. The
13:33
way coaches do a lot. and he
13:35
worded it very poorly. So I didn't
13:37
take it the way a lot of
13:39
people did, which was I'm not interested
13:42
in learning how to coach this team
13:44
and I'm not interested in learning how
13:46
to coach a bad team. What I
13:48
have to believe though is that in
13:50
the wake of those. comments, Tordorella had
13:53
lots of conversations internally with General Manager
13:55
Danny Breyer, with President Hockey Operations Keith
13:57
Jones, even with the the chairman of
13:59
the ownership group of Comcast Specter, Dan
14:01
Hillford, about this concept of, does he
14:03
really want to be coaching a team
14:06
that is going nowhere? I have to
14:08
believe that after those discussions, that either
14:10
John Tordorell came to the conclusion that
14:12
he really doesn't want to do this,
14:14
or the people above him came to
14:16
the conclusion that they don't want him
14:19
doing this anymore because even if he's
14:21
willing to try they just don't think
14:23
he's gonna be able to do it
14:25
yeah i mean that's kind of where
14:27
i'm at is like i want to
14:30
find out what's happened in the last
14:32
twenty four hours because if if like
14:34
you said if if his words were
14:36
just kind of clumsy and he didn't
14:38
mean it the way that they came
14:40
out in the terms of a direct
14:43
quote they would give him the opportunity
14:45
to clarify to clarify those. And seemingly,
14:47
there was no intentions of doing that
14:49
based off of the firing. So where
14:51
do the Flyers go from here? It's
14:53
a fascinating question, and I really don't
14:56
know. In the short term, they moved
14:58
Bradshaw, who has done a really good
15:00
job as assistant coach. He runs the
15:02
defense, runs the penalty kill. They moved
15:04
him up to interim head coach. So
15:07
that's what's gonna happen in the short
15:09
term. The long term, though, very good
15:11
question, because they built this. organization really
15:13
on the idea of a three-man triumvert
15:15
of leadership of John Tertorello's head coach
15:17
Keith Jones is president of hockey operations
15:20
Daniel Breuer as general manager John Tertorell
15:22
predated both of those guys he was
15:24
the head coach starting in 2022 they
15:26
brought in Breyer was was in the
15:28
organization but he was kind of an
15:30
advisor to the general manager he didn't
15:33
take over the GM job until 20-23
15:35
Jones wasn't hired until 20-23 and part
15:37
the reason why those guys were picked
15:39
was because they wanted to keep John
15:41
Torturella. Dan Hoffordi loved John Torturella and
15:44
he felt like Breyer was a good
15:46
fit he'd be able to. to work
15:48
with Tordorella and Jones wasn't going to
15:50
come in and say I need a
15:52
new coach. I'm willing to take on
15:54
John Tordorella as part of this job
15:57
because they thought that those three would
15:59
work well together. Well now one of
16:01
the three is gone. So I don't
16:03
know what the leadership structure is going
16:05
to look like with John Tordorella gone
16:07
because the entire leadership structure was created.
16:10
operating under the assumption that John Tour
16:12
de Rella was going to be part
16:14
of the leadership structure. So now they
16:16
have to kind of, I don't think
16:18
they're going to fire Breyer or Jones
16:21
to be clear, but they have to
16:23
kind of start from scratch in terms
16:25
of how they want this to look
16:27
because they built this with John de
16:29
Rella in mind. An important clarification to
16:31
make in case anybody, we are not
16:34
just, he's not one of our buddies.
16:36
It's a tough name, says the guy
16:38
named DJ Bean. Does, Junterrell still have
16:40
his fastball? Because last season was very
16:42
interesting. They were in the playoff picture
16:44
and even top three in the metro
16:47
at the beginning of every month. And
16:49
then they start to fall and boy
16:51
oh boy when they fell did they
16:53
crater. And then you have this season.
16:55
So does he still have his fastball?
16:58
We're going to get into where he
17:00
could potentially fit and it's a short
17:02
list. But if you were a team.
17:04
that could use a John Torturella type,
17:06
would you want this version of John
17:08
Torturella right now? Well, it's a really
17:11
good question because in a sense, I
17:13
think he does still have his fastball,
17:15
but his fastball also comes with the
17:17
fact that once in a while he's
17:19
going to hit... a guy in the
17:21
head and loaded the bases with batsman.
17:24
Like, yes, he has his fastball. Like,
17:26
the Flyers are a pretty good 5-1-5
17:28
team, given the talent that they have
17:30
on hand. They drive play. They control
17:32
the scoring chance battle. The big reason
17:35
why this team has been poor this
17:37
year has been the goal tending. It's
17:39
been the worst in the league, and
17:41
it's dragged everything down. Also, they made.
17:43
big trades in the lead up to
17:45
the deadline, trading away guys who were
17:48
very popular in the room and in
17:50
the case of Scott Lawton, like the
17:52
leader of the room. I don't think
17:54
the room has fully grasped how to
17:56
handle that yet. So that's played a
17:58
role in this part of the collapse.
18:01
So I don't think it's all tortoirel's
18:03
fault that the team is bad. However,
18:05
it is part and parcel of the
18:07
John tortoirel experience that he's gonna rub
18:09
a lot of guys the wrong way.
18:12
And you have to if you're looking
18:14
to hire him. you have to sign
18:16
up for the John Torturell experience in
18:18
full. You have to sign up for
18:20
the fact that there is going to
18:22
be some guys that he's going to
18:25
decide just don't got it and is
18:27
not going to play them and is
18:29
going to put them in his dog
18:31
house, it's going to scratch them, it's
18:33
going to bench them. You have to
18:35
sign up for the fact that three
18:38
or four times of the year he's
18:40
going to go up to the podium
18:42
and say something absolutely bonkers that you're
18:44
going to have to spend the next
18:46
week dealing with the next week dealing
18:49
with the fallout from. you're going to
18:51
have to deal with the fact that
18:53
he's going to want power. He's going
18:55
to want some degree of control over
18:57
the roster. So does he have his
18:59
fastball in the sense that he can
19:02
coach a good system and that he
19:04
can get a lot out of underwhelming
19:06
rosters? Yeah, he does, but you also
19:08
have to be willing to sign up
19:10
for everything else that comes with John
19:13
Tortorell. Isn't that the full tortorilla experience?
19:15
Like that's the story of everywhere he's
19:17
been. And before we move on to
19:19
like where he might go next if
19:21
he wants to continue coaching, I did
19:23
want to ask like what's going to
19:26
be the prevailing sentiment about the tortorilla
19:28
era in Philadelphia because he was hired
19:30
to lead them out of this rebuild
19:32
and the Flyers statement that they put
19:34
out with the announcement of the the
19:36
firing was a lot about him restoring
19:39
the culture of Philly and the Flyers
19:41
and we've talked about. a bunch about
19:43
that over the last couple of years,
19:45
where like the Flyers finally kind of
19:47
had their swagger back in terms of
19:50
being a proud, no nonsense organization, and
19:52
a lot of that does come back
19:54
to towards his fingerprints, but at the
19:56
end of the day, he was hired
19:58
to lead them out of the... and
20:00
that never happened. So what's going to
20:03
be the prevailing view on the torts
20:05
era in Philly? I feel like a lot
20:07
of that's going to come down to
20:09
what happens over the next couple years.
20:11
Now if the Flyers over the next
20:14
two to three seasons develop into
20:16
being a contender, I think his
20:18
tenure will be looked at positively. by
20:21
most because it'll be that you know
20:23
he did set the foundation you know
20:25
he got these guys you know playing
20:27
tougher hockey he he toughened them up
20:29
and then they were able to use
20:31
that as a springboard to become a
20:34
contender now if the whole thing falls
20:36
apart and this ends with in
20:38
a year danny rare gets fired because
20:40
the team is bad again and they
20:42
have to restructure the front office again
20:45
after doing so just two years ago
20:47
in 2023, then I think it's going
20:49
to be looked at as a failure
20:51
and a total waste of time because
20:54
you hire this guy to improve the
20:56
culture and then as soon as he
20:58
leaves the culture completely torpedoes. So right
21:00
now it's unclear because so much of
21:03
this is going to depend upon whether
21:05
he's viewed as like the precursor to
21:07
when things got good or if he's
21:09
viewed as the man, he's the reason
21:11
why the Breire rebuild didn't work. A
21:13
bright spot for the Flyers this year
21:16
is that they got a 20 goal
21:18
season out of Matt Veechkov as a
21:20
rookie. On a scale of 1 to
21:23
10, how would you grade
21:25
John Tortorella's job of
21:27
shepherding Matt Veechkov? I don't
21:29
think he did as bad of a
21:32
job as a lot of fans
21:34
too, because I do think that
21:36
Meechkov has improved, not leaps and
21:38
bounds, and he's never gonna
21:40
be a Mark Stone style
21:43
wingerer. but he is showing
21:45
a bit more commitment to not
21:47
just cherry picking on every
21:49
play and doing things that
21:51
will allow him to not just
21:53
be a offense only guy and
21:56
I think he will benefit from
21:58
that in the long term. you
22:00
know, three, four, five years down the
22:02
line. That said, Tour de Rella's done
22:04
a lot of things that have really
22:07
ticked off fans. He's not playing Mishkov
22:09
nearly as much as the other guys
22:11
in the Calder race are getting played.
22:14
He's gotten scratched. He's gotten benched. Tour
22:16
de Rella has has not been as,
22:18
I guess the best way to put
22:21
it is he hasn't pumped Mishkov's tires
22:23
as much as the coaches of the
22:25
other guys have. Again, a lot of
22:27
this is going to depend upon what
22:30
happens with Mishkov. If Mishkov becomes a
22:32
superstar, and I think there's a very
22:34
good chance he will, you know, maybe
22:37
five, six years down the line, Mishkov's
22:39
going to get interviewed and he's going
22:41
to say, yeah, I really benefited from
22:44
that first tough year with John Tordorello.
22:46
So it's so hard to talk about
22:48
this now. because so much of how
22:51
he's going to be viewed is going
22:53
to be dependent about how things play
22:55
out two, three years down the line.
22:58
Right now, he's gone. And his tenure,
23:00
I guess, in the here or now
23:02
was a failure because he didn't take
23:04
the scene back to the playoffs, but
23:07
I never really viewed him as the
23:09
guy who was going to take them
23:11
back to the playoffs. I always thought
23:14
he was going to be kind of
23:16
the bridge guy, but you can't evaluate
23:18
the bridge until you see where the
23:21
towards coaches again, he's about to turn
23:23
67 years old. And if so, like
23:25
what is the mold of a team
23:28
that John Tortorello would fit behind the
23:30
bench on? Because it seems pretty clear
23:32
at this point, he does not want
23:35
to coach a rebuilding team. Well, here's
23:37
what I'll tell you. When John Tortorello
23:39
first took the job in 2022. we
23:41
as in the media were allowed to
23:44
go down to the locker room and
23:46
meet with him kind of like sort
23:48
of off the record. And Tour de
23:51
Rolla during that meeting with us said
23:53
that this is going to be his
23:55
last. head coaching stop. Philadelphia will be
23:58
his last side coach stop. Hilariously enough
24:00
a beat writer who no longer is
24:02
a full-time beat writer for the Flyers
24:05
actually tweeted that out. So this is
24:07
supposed to be like an off-the-record thing
24:09
and then he tweets it out. Kevin
24:12
Hayes's fingerprints all over it. I guess
24:14
it's no longer off the record really,
24:16
but that was said by John Tordorella
24:18
in 2022 that this was going to
24:21
be his last stop. Now He's head
24:23
coach. Maybe he just will have the
24:25
itch and be like, no, I want
24:28
to, I don't want this to be
24:30
my last op, I want to show
24:32
that I still got it and that
24:35
Philly was an awkward ending and I
24:37
want to do it again. That's very
24:39
possible. I can't predict the future. If
24:42
he's going to go somewhere else though,
24:44
I think it's got to be to
24:46
a team that has the talent but
24:49
needs a hard ass to kind of
24:51
get the talent to start playing up
24:53
to their ability. Buffalo being like an
24:56
obvious choice. Boston, John, Simon, brother. I
24:58
don't think people can see the sign
25:00
if you want to read. Oh, the
25:02
sign that is behind us says step
25:05
one Lindy, step two towards, step three,
25:07
question marks, step four, profit baby. That
25:09
is the Buffalo Sabres. Yeah, it's 100%
25:12
of the Bubbles. Like I heard some
25:14
people say the Bruins. I'm sorry guys,
25:16
I don't think the Bruins have that
25:19
much talent. Yeah, where's the building team?
25:21
He just said he does not have
25:23
an interest in coaching a rebuilding team.
25:26
Yeah, but the Brewers, on the other
25:28
hand, they got talent. They just seem
25:30
like they have no culture. That would
25:33
be a fit. Now, whether he wants
25:35
to do it or not, I don't
25:37
know, but. If he's gonna coach, I
25:39
don't think any team that is in
25:42
a contender now is going to hire
25:44
him, because they're not gonna sign up
25:46
for the torts experience, and he's now
25:49
made it clear that he doesn't really
25:51
wanna coach a team that is tanking
25:53
or losing and playing out the string,
25:56
that pretty much just leaves teams that
25:58
are talented and should be better. What
26:00
about a couple of teams that have
26:03
taken a step backwards this year, but
26:05
have already had. the torts experience. Like
26:07
what a team like Vancouver or a
26:10
team like New York go back and
26:12
double-dip knowing what they know about John
26:14
Torturella and what that whole experience brings.
26:16
I cannot imagine a world where he
26:19
goes back to Vancouver. That was such
26:21
a mess. He didn't even live in
26:23
Vancouver. He lived in the United States
26:26
and he had to like travel across
26:28
the border every day. That was just
26:30
a disaster of a situation from the
26:33
jump. New York, look, the Rangers do
26:35
crazy things all the time. So I
26:37
can't rule out that possibility. Vancouver though,
26:40
nothing would shock me more than him
26:42
popping back up in Vancouver. That would
26:44
blow me away. It would be the
26:47
best. Yeah, the list of teams is
26:49
just short. And I honestly, this made
26:51
me realize because I was also trying
26:53
to think like where would he go?
26:56
Maybe Nashville, something like that, but I
26:58
don't think that many teams are gonna
27:00
fire their coaches this year. have done
27:03
it in season and teams that have
27:05
done it, have done it with great
27:07
success. Detroit does it and they get
27:10
their next actual guy. St. Louis does
27:12
it, gets their next actual guy. Boston
27:14
will be looking for a real solution
27:17
there. I can't imagine torts would be
27:19
interested in that, but who knows, maybe
27:21
Pride thing, come back home. That could
27:24
maybe tie into it. The power struggle
27:26
between, if Neely and Sweeney are still
27:28
there, the power struggle between Neely Sweeney
27:30
and Torts would be just, it would
27:33
be a disaster. It would be a
27:35
circus and I do agree with you
27:37
that, with both of you, that the
27:40
talent isn't there to do it. And
27:42
then after that, like, Chicago, but that
27:44
would be doing exactly what, it would
27:47
be arriving. where he kind of arrived
27:49
in Philly, which is next step time,
27:51
please, and I don't know if, I
27:54
don't know, maybe he was just sick
27:56
of it in that moment because a
27:58
lot of people when they tire of
28:01
jobs, they're like, you know what, I
28:03
don't want to do anything like this
28:05
ever again, but really if you did
28:08
a symbol. thing just with different people
28:10
and a fresh coat of paint on
28:12
it you'll feel a little better so
28:14
maybe Chicago but I don't know about
28:17
all that Kirk Kirk in the chat
28:19
says Anaheim like Anaheim would be a
28:21
very interesting one because they do have
28:24
the talent they're sort of rebuilding but
28:26
I think that that's a team that
28:28
would fit the characteristics of a team
28:31
that would be looking for a torts
28:33
type. Tort's my coach if I'm in
28:35
a hymn. Torts and Zegris seems like
28:38
a match made in heaven, he said
28:40
with heavy sarcasm. Maybe it's what he
28:42
needs though. I was gonna say, I
28:45
remember at the beginning of the season,
28:47
Petey, throughout the idea that maybe a
28:49
guy like John Cooper would be approaching
28:51
retirement. And if a guy, if he,
28:54
if I like, I know we're talking
28:56
about like firings, but if someone like
28:58
that decided they were, they were done
29:01
with it, maybe, or like a Palmerese
29:03
if they want another Stanley Cup, that
29:05
situation like that, I think, that would
29:08
be the ultimate, that that's a going
29:10
back to an old team that I
29:12
think all parties would be interested in.
29:15
He went there, he won there, that
29:17
like, that's where my vision of John
29:19
Tortorella still is the crazy lightning coach.
29:22
So yeah. Want a cup there? I
29:24
know I didn't even consider the the
29:26
cutter goate of it all if he
29:28
went to Anaheim that would be unbelievable.
29:31
So that's what that's my pick I
29:33
want him to go coach the ducks.
29:35
Oh that would be the best. I'm
29:38
not firing Cronin if I'm the ducks.
29:40
There's been a lot of smoke around
29:42
that old situation. Yeah I feel like
29:45
there's been smoke around that though for
29:47
ever. Yeah it would be funny going
29:49
the ducks way like the ducks are
29:52
an old school team. they have that
29:54
like, you know, the people at the
29:56
top like the torts types. It would
29:59
be funny though, given the fact that
30:01
everything you hear about Cronin is that
30:03
all the players hate him and if
30:05
they fire Cronin to bring it to
30:08
a row, it's like be careful what
30:10
you wish for. Honestly though, that's like
30:12
the perfect situation for torts. It's like,
30:15
oh, the only way that I can
30:17
be liked by my players is by
30:19
follow up a guy who was universally
30:22
disliked by all the players. He kept
30:24
the seat warm for him. That's right.
30:26
He got it already. Charlie, you are
30:29

33:22
Yeah, that would be, you should get
33:24
stopped at the border. I mean, I'll
33:27
tell you what, Karelvamelka's got to start
33:29
taking some mightopure because. His body is
33:31
aging rapidly based off of how he's
33:34
being used this season. Brogged in Houston,
33:36
tweeted a quote from Tarini. He said,
33:38
there is no load management. We can't
33:41
rest him so we can play golf
33:43
in April. He's our best player since
33:45
a while ago, and he's a big
33:48
part of what we're doing. We're fighting
33:50
for our life, and we believe in
33:52
ourselves. C. C. C. Veltia, on. Oh
33:55
yeah, the Brewers. The greatest deadline acquisition
33:57
ever. Not the most consequential one, but
33:59
the greatest deadline acquisition ever. Yeah, but
34:01
just said play every fucking game. Yeah,
34:04
but they have Vamelka for beyond this
34:06
year. The reason that it rocked Elizabethi
34:08
was like, this is a rental, and
34:11
we are going to squeeze every penny
34:13
out of this rental as we possibly
34:15
can. But I can fuck this up
34:18
a little bit. Smoke them if you
34:20
got them. And we don't know, next
34:22
year isn't promised. I mean. contractually it
34:25
is. I'm saying to the earth. Well
34:27
we could all die today, tomorrow. So
34:29
play on Saturday, Leon. The Malcolm 15
34:32
games in a row. That rocks. What
34:34
does it say about Nathan McKinnon's hard
34:36
candidacy? It means that he has company.
34:38
We will be agretta downtown tonight. Doors
34:41
at 6 p.m. Games giveaways, including an
34:43
exclusive, what chaos, Edmonton themed hat from
34:45
Dishon. You are going to want to
34:48
get your hands on that. It is
34:50
$15 and I'm saying $15 to get
34:52
in, that gets you in and gives
34:55
you a chance to win a pair
34:57
of tickets to BOA Saturday. How fun
34:59
will that be. I know that Sean's
35:02
going to be all over the bubble
35:04
hockey. There's a pop a shot. Pete
35:06
loves that. Yep. Boards he was telling
35:09
me. I've been to Greta a few
35:11
times, but I didn't see this. They
35:13
have tic-tac-toe basketball? No. Connect four. Connect
35:15
four. Basketball. They also have a tic-tac-toe
35:18
thing he said. But apparently they just
35:20
renovated it. What don't they have? It's
35:22
going to be fantastic off if the
35:25
Hawks... higher torts. Respectfully, my friend, you
35:27
are a Blackhawks fan. You should probably
35:29
be ticked off for a little bit,
35:32
no matter what, but we'll try to
35:34
keep you happy. Stan S. says, shouts
35:36
to CC. Shouts to... Shouts to... Youk.
35:39
Bob Euker. Bob Euker. Oh, okay. Just
35:41
a little... in the chat. Very good.
35:43
Okay, the Oilers keep dying. Last night,
35:46
Stu Skinner took a knee from Michael
35:48
Randen to the head. He left the
35:50
game, is not with them for this
35:52
Seattle game tonight. Who knows what his
35:55
future is, but my biggest read on
35:57
it is, Michael Randen's year is fascinating.
35:59
Oh yeah. The only thing I thought
36:02
about that guy was that he is
36:04
a top three-winger. in the NHL and
36:06
that I would give him basically a
36:09
blank check. There has been so much
36:11
noise around this guy this year, he
36:13
has been traded twice, he's almost been
36:16
traded as many times as goals he
36:18
has scored since leaving the Colorado Avalon
36:20
because he kind of ain't doing shit.
36:23
And now he's just kneeing guys on
36:25
the head. And it didn't look intentional,
36:27
don't want to do it chat, but
36:29
it's just funny that this motherfucker is
36:32
in the middle of everything bad. Yeah,
36:34
he also got hit in the face
36:36
of the puck earlier this week. Every
36:39
Stars player is taking pucks to the
36:41
face this year, which is crazy. But
36:43
yeah, I don't think it was intentional.
36:46
I think Randin's though, like if we're
36:48
talking about random season, the defining storyline
36:50
is the enemies per 60 that he
36:53
is garnering. Yes. Because he spent the
36:55
entire year like pissing off a bunch
36:57
of different fan bases. And now like,
37:00
we're wondering, does he have more enemies
37:02
to then points? Yes, I mean enemies
37:04
and how many goals does he have
37:07
he has four goals famously since being
37:09
traded we looked it up yesterday four
37:11
goals since being traded from Colorado So
37:13
two goals for each team and he
37:16
scored in his debut for the stars
37:18
and thought okay. He's back. No, he's
37:20
not. He's kind of having a weird
37:23
season, but He's got yeah, I mean
37:25
if you want to do like fan
37:27
bases avalanche I mean the return to
37:30
Colorado suggested that they're more appreciative than
37:32
pissed. I mean it's worked out so
37:34
well for them, so they should be
37:37
in the absolute best mood. Yeah. So
37:39
that's that with Miko Randen. Jeff Skinner
37:41
took a stick to the. yesterday, no
37:44
problem there. Zach Hyman, though, got his
37:46
leg all twisted up and we were
37:48
watching on the plane with bad Wi-Fi
37:50
and that did not sound good, it
37:53
did not look good, when he went
37:55
down the tunnel, I was like at
37:57
least he's kind of walking down there,
38:00
dudes back in like three minutes. Yeah,
38:02
I mean, the bigger, the big takeaway
38:04
here is that the Oilers gotta just
38:07
be healthy for the rest of the
38:09
year. They can't have any more scary
38:11
run-ins. The Connor, Leon, Hyman, Skinner, Hyman,
38:14
Skinner, Hyman, Skinner, Skinner, Hyman, Skinner, All
38:16
of this has been just like too
38:18
close for comfort heading into the playoffs
38:21
here. We're a few weeks away from
38:23
the playoffs, just fucking entering healthy. I
38:25
don't, we're talking, we spent yesterday talking
38:27
about how much parody there is, how
38:30
it's like anybody's playoff run. I don't
38:32
want to see teams sucked off because
38:34
of injuries like the Devils. Exactly. And
38:37
playwise, I am totally cool with the
38:39
Oilers right now. I don't. I typically
38:41
don't get too high or too low
38:44
during the regular season anyway, but all
38:46
I really care about is health. I
38:48
don't care about trophies, I don't care,
38:51
just be healthy because even without Dry
38:53
Sidal in McDavid, they've played well. The
38:55
fact that I turned that game off
38:58
at four nothing last night, that I
39:00
saw on Twitter people talking about like,
39:02
one goal game and I was like,
39:04
what are you fucking talking about? Ottinger
39:07
was unbelievable. But like Oilers played well
39:09
for a lot of that game. They've
39:11
been fine without McDavid and Dry Saddle.
39:14
So I'll say this though, we're seeing
39:16
Dry Saddle on Saturday. That guy gets
39:18
on the ice for morning skate yesterday,
39:21
sees that it's for nothing at some
39:23
point yesterday, and definitely has some, fuck
39:25
it, I'll just do it myself, we'll
39:28
see him Saturday. So that's that, and
39:30
we'll do Greta tonight, and you can
39:32
talk about it with us. We'll be
39:35
with the Oilers nation crew, nation crew,
39:37
it is going to be the best.
39:39
Start a business that sells decorative plates.
39:41
Find out you have to track expenses.
39:44
Use into quick books to auto track
39:46
expenses, so you can keep spinning, uh,
39:48
selling those plates. Manage and grow your
39:51
business all in one place. Into it,
39:53
Quick Books, your way to money. Let's
39:55
do today in Jacob Chikrin, because he
39:58
has sold his Tesla and replaced it
40:00
with a G-wagon. The quote from Jacob
40:02
Chikrin, we actually bought a new car
40:05
a few weeks ago. We had a
40:07
Tesla for a while, but we wanted
40:09
to get rid of that. or that
40:12
we want to get rid of. We're
40:14
pretty big, as you guys know, we
40:16
talk about our health and wellness a
40:19
lot. We just had a weird feeling
40:21
about sitting on a battery all day
40:23
in the car, so we wanted to
40:25
get rid of the Tesla, move on
40:28
from the electric, and I got my
40:30
wife, her dream car, which was a
40:32
G wagon. Just might get a G
40:35
wagon out of me, is what you
40:37
said to his lovely bride, because he
40:39
don't want his ass on a battery.
40:42
That's a Drake lyric. The whole thing
40:44
was the drakeler, including the battery part.
40:46
Yes, yes, exactly. And he actually got
40:49
her a dog. They're going to take
40:51
care of the G wagon until the
40:53
G wagon's days are over. How do
40:56
you feel about, I don't know about
40:58
sitting on the battery all day long?
41:00
I mean, I understand it. I don't
41:02
know if that's a... I never thought
41:05
about it, but I dislike the whole
41:07
energy of this swap because he goes
41:09
from a Tesla to a G wagon.
41:12
I want Jacob Chikrin to really commit
41:14
to the bit. I want Jacob Chikrin
41:16
to be showing up to the arena
41:19
with like a fucking Fred Flintstone ass
41:21
car. He should go like at Oliver
41:23
and start riding horses to the arena.
41:26
Yes. Like in Metro DC. If he's
41:28
fully living off the land. He's doing
41:30
the raw meat, he's doing no light
41:33
bulbs, candlelights only, beeswacks, rides his horse
41:35
to the fucking arena. He's gonna fuck
41:37
up a zombie apocalypse. Like he is,
41:39
he's already built for it. No electricity
41:42
so I mean it's I so I
41:44
don't know about that because it's it's
41:46
easy to do this shit when you're
41:49
so rich Yeah, but if I can
41:51
do it with you take away his
41:53
millions. Can he do it? I mean
41:56
I guess because I'm sure he's having
41:58
like prime meat delivered to him from
42:00
like. No, he said yesterday he had
42:03
to go to special butcher shops to
42:05
do this. But the question is really
42:07
could he kill an animal with his
42:10
bare hands? Right. But he doesn't have
42:12
to worry about clicking it. So. He
42:14
does have to worry about cooking it,
42:16
but I wonder what the zombie apocalypse
42:19
could look like for a guy who's
42:21
doing this while very rich. He'll be
42:23
used to the no electricity at the
42:26
first time. My favorite part of this
42:28
whole thing is, you go down further
42:30
in the story, and there's another quote,
42:33
and it says, my wife and I
42:35
are just big into living a clean,
42:37
healthy life. We try to do a
42:40
good job of not overspending. We're just
42:42
pretty simple and homie people. He just
42:44
bought a G wagon. A G wagon
42:47
costs like a hundred and fifty grand.
42:49
He did not trade in the Tesla
42:51
for like a Honda CRV. Yeah, but
42:53
it's his cheap month. We have our
42:56
months as if there's like lots of
42:58
those. We have our months. So like
43:00
a quarter of the year, you're just
43:03
not being good about your money. Yeah.
43:05
You think that he is crazy about
43:07
investing and having his money make more
43:10
money? No, I think he puts his
43:12
money in the walls. Yeah, I think
43:14
it's more likely... He's on extra grabs,
43:17
kind of, yeah, he's got a mattress.
43:19
He's got a lot of gold. Definitely,
43:21
he's definitely a gold. It's like a
43:24
Thanksgiving, a class. I like this guy,
43:26
man. He might be a crypto guy.
43:28
He might be a crypto guy. I
43:31
like, I think, I'm cool, I'm cool
43:33
with it. He seems to not be
43:35
like pushing it on other people, like
43:37
pushing it on other people. I like
43:40
that he's this weird, but I want
43:42
him to really lean into it. The
43:44
horse thing would kill me. I would
43:47
love it. Tokyo Sex Whale says that
43:49
Chikrin eats the zombies in the zombie
43:51
apocalypse. I would agree with that. I
43:54
will say it's hard to criticize him
43:56
when he looks the way he does
43:58
and plays a professional sport at the
44:01
level he does. But everything he says.
44:03
is dumb as shit. There is no
44:05
scientific evidence for like the battery thing,
44:08
for example. There's like nothing he does
44:10
is like scientifically based. He's just going
44:12
off vibes and conspiracy theories and it
44:14
works for him. So like I said,
44:17
too hard to criticize too hard. So
44:19
obvious question, do we think he listens
44:21
to Joe Rogan? Absolutely. He donated to
44:24
RFK's campaign. He listens to Joe Rogan.
44:26
He's a humorman guy. He's an RFK
44:28
guy. He's a pseudo-science guy and sometimes
44:31
he lands ass backwards into the into
44:33
like the right thing like RFK. RFK
44:35
is like we should get phones out
44:38
of schools and everyone's like yeah and
44:40
he's like because batteries give you cancer
44:42
and it's like well that's just not
44:45
true so you're half right and I
44:47
guess I can give you credit for
44:49
that. I mean at least he I
44:51
don't know if it's great behavior but
44:54
if you're going to be a conspiracy
44:56
theorist guy. Don't just ask the questions
44:58
and say did you know live the
45:01
life. He lives the life. Yeah, you
45:03
respect that I can I believe what
45:05
you want to believe if you're not
45:08
pushing it on other people right and
45:10
so I can't I can't like I'm
45:12
not mad at him for it, but
45:15
It is I feel like important to
45:17
point out that everything he says is
45:19
not true. And I know he does
45:22
like Instagram stories and whatnot but like
45:24
he's not like a quote-unquote content creator
45:26
when it comes to this stuff. Like
45:28
he's not doing it for like weird
45:31
attention he's just doing it because he
45:33
actually buys into it which like I
45:35
can I can respect that. Yeah like
45:38
and he's not like lying about weird
45:40
shit like the liver king where he's
45:42
like I don't do steroids. Saucey for
45:45
a PD suspension for chikrin then if
45:47
that happened though I would be I
45:49
would be more on like I'd be
45:52
more App to believe that he just
45:54
like took some weird shit that he
45:56
didn't know was illegal The excuse that
45:59
everyone gets yeah, he actually is probably
46:01
my big concern around chicken is that
46:03
like I've watched better call Saul at
46:05
what point does he really like go
46:08
off the deep-end? come Chuck and like,
46:10
especially with all those beeswax candles, you
46:12
know how it ended for Chuck. Yes,
46:15
but that was a, a trigger warning.
46:17
That was a, you said Sussy. It
46:19
starts with like, yeah, he was a
46:22
Carson. So, so, uh, somebody, Eileen said,
46:24
uh. I don't know, Dylan Strome seems
46:26
sick of him and all the shit.
46:29
I did want to bring up that
46:31
part because he did acknowledge the Dylan
46:33
Strome of it all. He said, yeah,
46:36
Dylan Strome suered me and now I'm
46:38
dealing with all of that shit. So
46:40
he's basically like, thanks a lot for
46:43
throwing me under the bus. Well, well,
46:45
well, if it isn't the consequences, was
46:47
it, the consequences of my actions? Yeah.
46:49
We're all looking for the guy who
46:52
did this. But that's part of the
46:54
thing that I was saying that I
46:56
was saying that I was saying that
46:59
I was saying about, like, like, like,
47:01
like, he's not putting the shit out
47:03
putting the shit out there. As like
47:06
a content creator and being like look
47:08
at me. He's kind of just trying
47:10
to like live his own life and
47:13
do his weird shit People asking him
47:15
about it because like I don't think
47:17
like when he was in Arizona. He
47:20
was doing the the raw liver and
47:22
stuff like that I think by product
47:24
of being in Arizona and didn't get
47:26
talked about too much because he didn't
47:29
really talk about it. The one thing
47:31
that I will definitely say I'm on
47:33
board with is just the the the
47:36
natural light thing in the fire light
47:38
thing I would if I were rich
47:40
If I could make, I wouldn't do
47:43
it all the time, but if I
47:45
could make part of my existence winding
47:47
down the days with candle light, instead
47:50
like if the home was just had
47:52
a few candles going, I bet I
47:54
would sleep like a baby. He said
47:57
that he said I've been sleeping like
47:59
a baby. I'm pretty sure that's an
48:01
exact quote. It's really nice, sleeping like
48:03
a baby. Yeah. So maybe that's embedded
48:06
in my head, but also it just
48:08
makes sense. Don't you think I mean
48:10
I mean, I... do less Instagram on
48:13
my phone at night now and I
48:15
it fucking makes well you like my
48:17
my brain just kind of slowly gets
48:20
off it a little bit and then
48:22
when it's time to rest I rest
48:24
and then what's time to sleep by
48:27
sleep if you're doing that with just
48:29
like it's dimly lit by candle oh
48:31
baby I'm falling asleep thinking about yeah
48:34
I mean I'm a huge believer in
48:36
lights and like the the lighting effect
48:38
that that lights light in lighting can
48:40
have like fluorescent lighting with that yes
48:43
I'm a light person and I believe
48:45
in the light that lights may give
48:47
that's right no I just Whatever it
48:50
hurts or whatever of certain lighting, it
48:52
this cicadian rhythm, I'm just butchering all
48:54
of this. What you know about, is
48:57
it called, uh, hatch? No, I don't
48:59
know what that is. Like green chilies?
49:01
Our other travel, uh, our other travel
49:04
partner has a, it's like $150, it's
49:06
this alarm thing that... Wakes you up
49:08
naturally. Oh yeah Ellen has that instead
49:11
of setting off a thing. Yeah, it
49:13
just does like slow we're kind of
49:15
like eases you back in we're a
49:18
big light household and I've had to
49:20
like battle with with Ellen over lights
49:22
where I don't do overhead light. I
49:24
don't like overhead lights. I like small
49:27
small table lamps and things like that
49:29
all across soft lighting soft lighting soft
49:31
lighting is I go and walk to
49:34
my neighborhood and I see so many
49:36
houses that just have like harsh lighting
49:38
and it's like how do you live
49:41
like well I was gonna say it's
49:43
it's funny for Trickran because he spends
49:45
like when he works it's in like
49:48
the most fluorescence lit environment you can
49:50
possibly get well that was the portion
49:52
that I wanted to bring up too
49:55
is that like Jacob Trickran now has
49:57
to Absolutely guarantee that the capitals get
49:59
out of like the first one or
50:01
two rounds of the playoffs because he
50:04
is opening himself up to so many
50:06
the lights were too bright jokes. Oh
50:08
fair. I thought you're gonna say that
50:11
like people are gonna be on him
50:13
for like oh well the less stuff
50:15
but liver and defending yeah I have
50:18
to remind myself that not every market
50:20
is Boston. I was even, because like,
50:22
if he played in Boston and they
50:25
lost in the first round and he
50:27
had a bad play or something, they
50:29
would spend so much time on the
50:32
radio talking about like how his priorities
50:34
are out of whack. When Jeremy Swamen
50:36
was in his contract dispute. That's so
50:38
true. Just not every market is like
50:41
that. So hopefully people go easy on
50:43
them, but I mean I'm fascinated by
50:45
all this good man though on the
50:48
no overhead like yeah I did not
50:50
know that you were about that life.
50:52
That's been something that has been that
50:55
I have been taught and we're actually
50:57
going to cover up there's a light
50:59
switch. It only it's in the way
51:02
of where I want to put a
51:04
TV and we'd have to just get
51:06
rid of the light switch. I don't
51:09
fucking do it because the light switch,
51:11
the all it controls is the overhead
51:13
light. Don't eat that shit anyway. Fuck
51:15
overhead lights. Buck overhead lights. Jacob Chickren
51:18
said that. And that is on God.
51:20
So yeah, I think we've just, this
51:22
has been a big week for him.
51:25
Learning a lot about him, but I
51:27
like most of it. I think we've
51:29
talked about him more this week. Yeah,
51:32
but like, he's a fucking insane. Yeah,
51:34
I mean, I don't necessarily like when
51:36
people, when people, platform people, platform, stupid
51:39
ideas, stupid ideas, Probably dumber and less
51:41
rich than he is. There's a thin
51:43
blue line between genius and insanity. Yes,
51:46
and I think he loves being right
51:48
on top of the thin blue line
51:50
Okay, that would track. Let's do a
51:52
slight great. Ooh an exciting night of
51:55
hockey indeed. We have what do we
51:57

51:59

opponents here in the stretch of the
52:50

52:53
go? It's a Marcus Johansson bowl. Oh

Tim Warren stroke. Oh, what'd you say?
53:25
You said Ryan O'Reilly born. Speaking of
53:27
Tim Horton. Nice, not bad. That was
53:30
definitely worth bringing to our attention. Good
53:32
work, Sean. That's one of those things
53:34
where you know we didn't hear it
53:37
because we didn't. I knew you would
53:39

54:02
AHL Tucson Roadrunners as

a deaf move for the Utah
54:06
Hockey Club by the way. Oh
54:08
I get to well actually Apollonius
54:10
right now. No it wasn't, he
54:13
was on the Bruins in between.
54:15
Well actually Apollonius, Marcus Johansson had
54:17
two stints with the Washington Capitals
54:19
to the Minnesota Wild where he
54:21
currently plays. That is a Marcus
54:23
Johansson revenge game my friend. I
54:25
mean, Pete just doing well actually
54:27
the fuck out of you. Pete,
54:30
get cooked. Yeah, I was going
54:32
to say Pete doing what Jacob
54:34
Chicken never would. That's right.
54:36
Jacob Chicken doesn't cook the
54:38
meat. Maple Leafs at sharks, talking
54:40
to us at 10.30 p.m. Eastern,
54:43
and when I see Maple Leafs
54:45
and sharks, I'll always think of
54:48
one name. Who are you thinking
54:50
of? Marlow? Patrick Marlow. Oh! So
54:52
could I not? Shout out
54:54
CC Dry on Twitter, went
54:56
to the game last night
54:58
with a Goatee CC sign.
55:01
It was a well-made sign
55:03
with a goat on it.
55:05
Love my weird Oilers Twitter.
55:08
Goatey CC. All right, that's
55:10
tucking us in. I don't
55:12
eat that tuck at 10.30
55:15
p.m. Eastern, but as we
55:17
are mountain, we're not getting
55:20
tucked by anything. No, you
55:22
get talked at a reasonable time. Yeah,
55:24
like you can be talked at any
55:26
time you can have a seven o'clock
55:29
talk But well, it's like saying you
55:31
get a breakfast for dinner like it
55:33
still doesn't really make it But I
55:36
mean, this is the definition of the
55:38
talk is the last game game is
55:40
gonna end at like 11 p.m.m. Local
55:42
time that's a good time to go
55:44
to bed instead of one in the morning.
55:47
That's true. I hate I hate I
55:49
hate late games on the game Oh
55:51
no, those are the games that I
55:53
watched like the closest because there's nothing
55:55
else going on. Except for me wanting
55:57
to go to bed. Well that's a
55:59
skill difference. love of the game, yeah,
56:01
I mean, peace, guilt is your
56:03
brother. He doesn't think about what
56:05
he wants. He knows what he
56:07
needs. I'm not saying I don't
56:09
stay up to watch him. I'm
56:12
saying I don't want to. Okay.
56:14
I would say that makes me
56:16
love the game even more because
56:18
I'm doing it because even though
56:20
I don't want to, you're just
56:22
doing something you like. Do we
56:24
have a rebuttal from Apollonius? He
56:26
said, I think he just said,
56:28
fuck me. Alright, somebody said death
56:30
by well, actually. Vesan Oliveski says
56:32
hype for circuit revenge game and
56:35
Max 1000th. Is that right? Max
56:37
1000? McKinnon? Which, is that? Do
56:39
you already have his 1,000th game?
56:41
Or 1,000th point or whatever it
56:43
was? But I would assume, let's
56:45
see, Nathan, I mean, the circuit
56:47
you have revenge game, hell yeah.
56:50
What's the McKinnon situation? He has a thousand six
56:52
points, so I don't know what's going on there.
56:54
Oh, yeah, maybe they're celebrating it. Oh, maybe things
56:56
at avalanche, I believe. When they already did the
56:59
gold stick thing, I saw that like a week
57:01
ago or so. I don't know, but thank you
57:03
for the super chat very much appreciate it. Far
57:05
be it from us to discuss Nathan McKinnon. Oh,
57:07
