2:02
sassiest bitch I've ever seen in my life.

One of the best show seasons of television.

2:22
at big champions league semifinal match today.
2:24
So shout out to the boys. Alright
2:27
give him the news
2:29
Today we've got
2:31
news Including politics. We're talking
2:33
shop today on what chaos
2:35
the Canadian election was yesterday
2:38
and stuff happened votes were
2:40
cast ballots were Balloted so
2:42
we'll talk about that and
2:44
we've got crazy ass, Florida.
2:46
I assume that that's
2:48
just a general encapsulation
2:50
of the battle of
2:52
Florida which has been
2:54
unbelievable crazy Yesterday's
2:57
game was outrageous. One of the funniest
2:59
games of the season. We'll talk about
3:01
that. Paul Bisonette is going to
3:03
join the show. You know him as the legend
3:05
on the TNT panel. Maybe the guy
3:07
in the commercial. Maybe just the guy who beats up
3:09
people in restaurants. He's a legend who
3:12
transcends hockey at this point. So he's going
3:14
to join the show. And then finally, Avstonk
3:16
is cheap because they are
3:18
the first team in the
3:21
Western Conference to face elimination. Crazy.
3:25
Yeah. All the, the West
3:27
doing the same thing, two, two, all
3:29
the East doing the same thing,
3:31
three, one. And now finally, we
3:33
got the abs on the brink, which is kind
3:35
of crazy because it all fits in this big
3:37
theme, something that I've wanted to hit for
3:40
like a week now, which is no
3:42
clue who's going to win the Stanley
3:44
Cup this year. It is, there's so
3:46
much more uncertainty than there has ever
3:48
been at this point in recent years.
3:50
So we will discuss that with the
3:52
great Paul Bissonette quickly, just to make.
3:54
Good on the rundown. We'll do one
3:56
second on politics. Sean, crazy
3:59
choke job by the conservative
4:01
party. Yeah, big time. Shout
4:03
out. Justin Trujoe
4:05
for getting the fuck out of the way.
4:08
American American liberals could have learned that lesson
4:10
a little sooner. And
4:13
shout out. Donald Trump for talking his
4:15
shit and just handing the Liberals
4:17
an election in Canada. Trump chunked it
4:20
so bad that he lost the
4:22
conservatives an election in a different country.
4:25
Yes. Like Trump, just by being
4:27
Trump, Canada was like, we can't
4:29
elect this guy who's got kind
4:31
of one or two things in
4:33
common with Trump. Pete, I think that
4:35
you actually would quite like if
4:37
America went to the system that Canada
4:39
has, which is where the parties
4:41
are very cleanly labeled like liberal. conservative
4:44
marijuana this that for the
4:46
most part I mean you have
4:48
like the the NDP the
4:50
new Democratic Party that it was very
4:52
interesting what watching by far the
4:55
most fascinating part the watching the coverage
4:57
of the Canadian election and I'm talking
4:59
about how interesting it was that this
5:01
turned into a two -party election of
5:03
like we've been doing that for for
5:05
centuries yes two parties but like the
5:07
NDP didn't really show up Um,
5:10
it was very interesting. I was watching
5:12
how in some places the liberals
5:14
attacked NDP, uh, uh, incumbents and
5:16
instead of winning those seats, it just
5:18
split the vote and then conservatives
5:21
started winning traditionally liberal seats. Very
5:23
fascinating how, uh, multi -party system, multi -party
5:25
system of government works. Because it's
5:27
cleaner. It cuts out all of the
5:29
nonsense. It's, I mean, it's In
5:31
some ways it's more complicated in other ways,
5:34
but it allows People that I actually
5:36
have their views represented instead of having to
5:38
just kind of drift towards the middle
5:40
like our hour like it the liberals kind
5:42
of have to be a little more
5:44
Progressive because you have the NDP that pushes
5:46
that platform for farther and Same on the
5:48
other end of the spectrum. It's
5:50
just Much I'm not gonna say it's
5:52
perfect, but it's much closer to how
5:54
elections in a free democratic government
5:57
should Operate my opinion right like I think
5:59
I'm probably technically independent, but I am a begrudging
6:02
Democrat. Like I vote Democrat and I'm
6:04
usually upset with Democrats. And I think
6:06
that in Canada, you can kind of
6:08
pick your lane a little easier. Yes.
6:10
Yes. Okay. The Panthers take a three
6:12
one lead. Pete is crawling out of
6:14
his skin. The Panthers take a three
6:17
one lead in the battle of Florida.
6:19
And this one had everything folks. And
6:21
by everything, I mean more hits. We
6:23
don't do a hit chat, but It's
6:25
tough not to do it because this
6:27
is becoming a theme of this whole
6:29
thing. Aaron Eckblad in the second period
6:31
of forearm to Brandon Hagel's chin in
6:33
the second period is not called. And
6:35
that is stunning to me, but no
6:38
hit chat, not beating the steroid allegations.
6:40
This guy returned from a steroid suspension
6:42
and now is doing this phone hearing
6:44
for him. We'll discuss that in a
6:46
minute while trying to dance around the
6:48
hit chat stuff. But the big part
6:50
of all that is that the, the
6:52
lightning we're trailing. at this point, they
6:54
were trailing one, nothing. And they responded
6:56
to this non -call with two goals
6:58
and 11 seconds. And the reaction from
7:01
John Cooper was the best thing we've
7:03
seen on a bench this side of
7:05
Jim Montgomery in the second round last
7:07
year. not true, because Craig Barubi yelling
7:09
at Mark Savard after the Maple Leaf
7:11
scored a goal in the beginning of
7:13
the series was so funny. Yes. But
7:15
I don't think we ever talked about
7:17
that on the show, but it was
7:19
so funny. But not. I mean, not
7:22
as it's. the, it's the best since
7:24
though, the Montgomery thing. Cause the Montgomery
7:26
thing last year smokes that and even
7:28
this, the Montgomery thing was like borderline
7:30
problematic. That was this year. Do you
7:32
remember what I'm talking about? The punching
7:34
Brad Marchand. No. Okay. No, I said
7:36
in the second round last year. Oh,
7:38
no, I don't remember them. What was
7:40
it? He was like doing this. Oh,
7:43
yeah. That was when you did the
7:45
soldier boy video. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's
7:47
right. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
7:49
That's the most demonstrative coach thing since
7:51
then, for sure. The best. Give it
7:53
to me, Sean. That bench
7:55
is fired up led by
7:57
the 57 year old coach. Back
8:09
to politics chat. He was on his
8:11
Howard Dean shit To me it was this
8:13
is a wrestling reference a little Stone
8:15
Cold Steve Austin a little Ralph snake head
8:17
shake there that I really liked it
8:19
was very very I called it bratty on
8:21
Twitter It's like just a whole lot
8:23
of sass in the head shake and I
8:25
liked it Cooper doesn't usually do that
8:27
either. He's usually very composed. Yeah, so that
8:29
was I was fired up.
8:32
I was absolutely fired up. I think
8:34
he had every right to be pissed
8:36
over the Ekblad thing. The response from
8:38
his team was unbelievable. And seeing that
8:40
kind of emotion out of him, I
8:42
loved it. Obviously didn't. I also don't
8:44
blame him. He's 27 minutes away from
8:46
tying the series and going back home.
8:48
Like he should be super excited. That
8:50
should rock. But instead, third
8:52
period, Aaron Ekblad has a goal
8:54
overturned by off sides and
8:57
then follows that up by scoring
8:59
for real. Like 10 minutes
9:01
later, Araneckblad not there for his
9:03
offense. He's there more for
9:05
his steroid use and for his
9:07
forearms to the chins of
9:09
unsuspecting players. But he ends up
9:11
getting the game time goal
9:13
and you think, wow, this, this
9:15
could not get wilder until
9:17
Seth Jones scored 11 seconds later
9:19
twice. two occurrences of
9:21
two goals in 11 seconds in
9:23
this game, one for each team,
9:25
and the latter ends up giving
9:27
Florida a victory and a three
9:30
to one series lead. So
9:32
Florida, we said yesterday, come
9:34
on, you Florida teams,
9:36
give us something that we're not
9:38
getting in the Eastern Conference, which
9:40
is a two, two series. Give
9:42
us something where we can say,
9:44
all right. It's anyone's ballgame and
9:46
instead another one another three one
9:48
series in the Florida Panthers the
9:50
defending Stanley Cup champions now with
9:52
their foot on the throat of
9:54
Tampa Bay going back to Tampa
9:56
Bay where they have already won
9:58
two games. Yeah. I'm I'm a
10:00
little I don't want to say
10:02
like nervous because I don't I'm
10:04
not really invested in the outcome
10:06
of the series. But I would
10:08
like to see it go pretty
10:10
deep. Unfortunately Florida just looks Florida
10:12
looks awesome. Florida looks awesome and
10:14
Tampa has had too many breakdowns
10:16
like obviously Florida plays a good
10:18
defensive game. But like Tampa was
10:20
the best offensive team in the league
10:22
during this regular season. And they really
10:24
haven't haven't really broken out offensively. And
10:26
if you have a couple defensive breakdowns over
10:29
the course of 60 minutes, you're going
10:31
to lose to the Panthers. And. Panthers just
10:33
look really good at this point. And
10:35
I'm nervous that they're going to kind of
10:37
coast. How do we feel about Seth
10:39
Jones making an impact, an offensive impact in
10:42
the postseason? I love it so much.
10:44
I've been saying for years, like over
10:46
a year, get Seth Jones back to
10:48
the playoffs. He'll log a bunch of minutes.
10:50
Maybe he'll give you a little something.
10:52
And he does it last night. And it
10:54
was so wild after the game watching
10:56
the like on bench interview. They're like, let's
10:58
go down to Emily Kaplan with Seth
11:01
Jones. And I'm like, I never
11:03
thought I would see something like this again.
11:05
I did have a, like when I,
11:07
when they threw to the interview afterwards, I
11:09
was like, huh. Yeah.
11:11
Seth Jones. Seth Jones.
11:13
I mean, Seth Jones kind of been killing
11:15
it so far this post season. Cause he's
11:17
been really good defensively too. So shout out
11:19
to the Panthers. Drs. Mackin says
11:22
the Seth Jones story just goes to show
11:24
you complain enough. You can get yourself to
11:26
a good team. Shout out, Jimmy Butler. Shout
11:28
out Jimmy. You see Tyler hero yesterday. He
11:30
was like, I know that I need Jimmy.
11:32
We would be in this series if we
11:34
had Jimmy. I was like, why is Tyler
11:36
hero underperforming? Who's
11:38
to say that? He'd are at least the
11:40
Jimmy clip from yesterday was so good.
11:43
I'm a bitch and a bum. I love
11:45
right in his fucking ear. And like
11:47
respect to Dylan Brooks, because Dylan Brooks kind
11:49
of like was there for it. And
11:51
I know that's what Dylan Brooks is basically
11:53
can't stand all he can do. And
11:55
I can't stand him either. But seeing those
11:58
two go face to face and just
12:00
talk their shit was awesome. Let's do a
12:02
little recap game to Brandon Hagel with
12:04
the hit on Sasha Barkov got suspended a
12:06
game for that game three, Matthew Kachuk
12:08
hit on Jake Gensel, no suspension, then game
12:10
for Aaron Eckblad on Hagel, no hit
12:13
chat. The Eckblad thing, I think was pretty
12:15
egregious and pretty obvious. And at this
12:17
point, given what has happened to throughout the
12:19
series, when that happens, you're like, you
12:21
knew what you were doing. That was planned.
12:24
He should get something. He's getting
12:26
a phone hearing. He should get
12:28
suspended. I would think
12:30
yes. Yeah, I better. I
12:32
mean, would you say that this was the
12:34
worst of the three? I think so. I
12:36
think so. I think it's the clearest like
12:38
you knew what you were doing. I thought
12:41
that Hagel on Barkov was some bullshit. Definitely.
12:43
But I also think we're kind of protective
12:45
of our stars and those were at least
12:47
like hits. I think five. five in a
12:49
game would have been fine for Hegel on
12:51
Barkov. If we said this at the time,
12:53
like if it was anybody else other than
12:55
Barkov, I think that's just what it would
12:57
have been. But the
12:59
eggplant is a suspension every
13:01
damn day. You asked a
13:03
good question. Does the
13:06
steroid, does the PED suspension
13:08
make him a repeat offender? I
13:10
mean, I don't, I don't
13:12
think so because it doesn't fall
13:14
into like the same realm
13:16
of infraction, but. You
13:18
made a good point. It was very
13:20
PED behavior. It kind of should be.
13:22
It can be Looks like he's Royd
13:24
Rageon. You can have like the connecting
13:26
the dots here. This man has Royd
13:28
Rage and is just trying to take
13:30
off guys heads. How sick would it
13:32
be if the video was like to
13:34
recap? Hegel was
13:36
in a defenseless position. Ekblad
13:41
took three steps. Ekblad.
13:44
has used drugs. It
13:47
was just like all these things. That
13:49
would rock. Let me ask you
13:51
this. Would you... What
13:53
was I going to ask? Fuck me. I forgot what I
13:55
was going ask. Go ahead. That's okay. was a good question. I
13:58
forgot what I was going to ask. I just wanted to
14:00
say, I think you should be suspended three games and you
14:02
should not see this series again. It's
14:04
just got to stop. Well,
14:06
A, I mean, it's just like this
14:09
is clear. This series clearly keeps like
14:11
ramping up and up. B. That was
14:13
like one of the most egregious, like
14:15
it's worse than a punch to the
14:17
head. It was an elbow to somebody's
14:19
face. Like
14:21
clear as day, cocked back, like
14:23
Flager 2. Very
14:25
true, very true. I do remember
14:27
what I wanted to ask. How did
14:29
you feel about the crowd cheering
14:31
once they realized it was Brandon Hagel?
14:34
This goes back to the Travis
14:36
Green. Like there's no
14:38
reason to panic thing. There is a reason
14:40
to panic. It's just not, you're just choosing
14:42
not to panic, which is good behavior. I
14:45
understand why they cheer more when
14:47
they see that it's Brandon Hagel.
14:49
I don't agree with it, but
14:51
I understand why. They're doing it
14:53
because Hagel did something bad to
14:55
their guy and they're mad. It
14:58
makes sense. Yeah. And I hope Brandon Hagel.
15:00
don't support it, but it makes sense. I
15:02
hope Brandon Hagel is okay. Don't
15:04
root for injuries. But I
15:06
completely understand why the Florida crowd did
15:08
it. And as a neutral spectator,
15:10
I enjoy the hate that the series
15:12
is injecting into itself. Do we
15:14
get much more of this thing into
15:16
itself? Yes. This is a series
15:18
that was always going to be about
15:21
injections. Series
15:23
is now three to one. It
15:25
goes back to Tampa. Two of the last
15:27
three are in Tampa in Florida has had
15:29
zero problem winning games there. They won the
15:31
first two games of the series and Emily
15:33
Arena is the series over. I
15:35
wouldn't say it's over, but
15:37
it's very difficult to win three
15:39
games in a row against
15:41
the Florida Panthers. The
15:43
fair, fair response. But,
15:46
uh, yeah, never mind. I just
15:48
rescind that take then. Yeah. I
15:50
know it just got on me too. Cause
15:52
I was like, it's like Florida's going to
15:54
win the series, but, and then as you
15:56
were thinking of it, like I was kind
15:58
of finishing your thought and was like, Oh
16:00
no, no, no. Yeah, you can win three
16:02
games against these guys to be fair. Yeah,
16:04
you can win three in a row, but
16:06
only one team in the last two years
16:08
has won four in seven against this team.
16:10
Right. But a good point. Yeah,
16:13
that's true. But Vassie has to
16:15
like kind of steal games, I
16:17
think. And Matthew Kachuk was playing
16:19
with like an empty body. in
16:21
the series that they lost. Yeah.
16:23
Also true. So that made that
16:26
that's further ammunition for you. Tampa
16:28
power plays got to get going
16:30
in Vasilevsky has to be, has
16:32
to be dominant. Although Sean noted
16:34
yesterday, we're getting right around that
16:36
sweet spot where Bob starts to
16:38
suck. But does game seven
16:41
last year give you like a, is
16:43
that like an every dog has his
16:45
day thing? Or is it if you
16:47
don't know the circuit of Brodsky very
16:49
good in the beginning of series and
16:51
then Don Drake like
16:53
like Don Draper only likes the beginning
16:55
of things and then just gets
16:57
worse as it goes on. So I
16:59
think Tampa has a chance. I
17:01
think that Tampa wins one at home.
17:03
They just got to go to
17:05
sunrise, do a job and drag them
17:07
back to Tampa. Then bingo,
17:09
bingo, bongo. You got a game seven.
17:11
This is the series that I
17:13
have the most faith in in the
17:15
Eastern Conference going somewhere. Can we
17:18
at least say that like going seven
17:20
going somewhere? I mean,
17:22
I don't exactly know what you mean
17:24
by that to be honest. Like I
17:26
Montreal, I think in win Montreal, I
17:28
think can extend their series. I don't
17:30
think that Ottawa is going to to
17:32
push the Leafs into any sort of
17:34
situation. I don't think the Devils are
17:36
going to push the Hurricanes in any
17:38
sort of situation. So I think that
17:41
this is the best chance of a
17:43
series going six or seven games. The
17:45
only way that I would I agree
17:47
like these are the closest match up
17:49
in terms of talent. Uh,
17:51
but the only reason that I
17:53
would disagree is if, if Montreal
17:55
gets the next one, I feel
17:57
like they're probably going to win
17:59
at home in a game six.
18:01
Yeah. And then you're getting the
18:03
game seven. So I was, wait,
18:05
which other one did I say
18:07
had a chance that it was
18:09
that one? Yeah. Cause I said
18:11
that yesterday is like Montreal not
18:13
dead. I think probably the best
18:15
chance to extend the series more
18:17
is Tampa, but Montreal not dead.
18:21
Mean Devils we're gonna get to this later. I
18:23
don't know. I could check off I think
18:25
He's a little bit of a wrinkle and I
18:27
mean we can do that right now Frederick
18:29
Anderson is out for game five against the Devils
18:31
It's gonna be pure to check off. We
18:33
saw him last game Had his could check off
18:35
moments. This is what I have always wanted
18:38
from the Carolina Hurricanes. I want if they're gonna
18:40
win a cup I want it to be
18:42
with could check off raising it and like Throwing
18:44
it against the glass or something and doing
18:46
something ridiculous because that's just like that's just how
18:48
I like my goalies Do you think the
18:50
devils have a chance of getting back in the
18:52
series now that checkouts between the pipes? I'm
18:55
not gonna say no No, they
18:58
don't I mean, I probably don't I think
19:00
they could on paper to get back into the
19:02
series because I mean if you win this
19:04
game or you're Down a game like it's three
19:06
two. I think I would consider that a
19:08
series, but I don't at no point even if
19:10
they make you four seven. I'm not gonna Seriously
19:13
consider them like it was I honestly
19:15
like the Panthers Oilers last year were at
19:17
no point Did I seriously? Did
19:19
I take the oiler seriously once they were
19:22
down 3 -0 until it got to game 7?
19:24
Devils lineup is so thin though like they're
19:26
gonna have to have Like a
19:28
couple players absolutely dominate the series.
19:30
I think to get it to go
19:32
to the distance Let's jump over
19:34
to the Western Conference where the Dallas
19:36
stars are one win away six
19:38
to win in game five up three
19:40
two first team in the West
19:42
to win three games They scored nine
19:44
seconds in and took a three
19:47
three nothing lead Alvalanche got back in
19:49
it for a minute, but Ultimately
19:51
stars do it. They're now up three
19:53
games to two and I don't
19:55
want to say is this over because
19:57
it's definitely not. But I did
19:59
not. I don't know.
20:01
I was the one that was begging for this to
20:03
be a series and said it can go. It
20:06
can go to six, let's say
20:08
it going to six this way is
20:10
shocking me. Yeah, I mean, I
20:12
think we definitely owe the stars an
20:14
apology or I guess like acknowledge
20:16
that we were super low on them
20:18
as a lot of people were.
20:20
But like there was so much reason
20:22
to be their assholes over the
20:24
final three weeks of the season. They
20:27
were heading into series against the
20:29
Colorado Avalanche without Miro Hayskin and without
20:31
Jason Robertson. So like respect where
20:33
respect is due. They've still like been
20:35
surprisingly awesome, even though we kind
20:37
of knew they had it in them.
20:39
I did not expect it to
20:41
look like this. I definitely wouldn't say
20:43
this series is over, especially when
20:45
you consider the Dallas is probably like
20:47
the biggest mystery box in the
20:49
playoffs on any given night. They take
20:52
games off more than any other
20:54
team. And then they can absolutely flip
20:56
the switch back in the next
20:58
game. You're shaking your head.
21:00
Are you thinking? Well, there's one
21:02
team that that doesn't get applied
21:04
to any NHL conversation because they
21:06
are in their own league of
21:08
stupidity. So. But like
21:10
I understand that like non
21:12
Oilers category. These stars are
21:15
the most. Where is
21:17
anybody going for you guys right
21:19
now other than like one or two
21:21
players team in the NHL? Yeah,
21:23
I mean like the Oilers the way
21:26
that the Oilers played in the series
21:28
has been less surprising than the way
21:30
that the stars have played I would
21:32
say I think so too and the
21:34
stars by the way not that they
21:36
are doing this but if they do
21:38
any sort of like receipt pulling horrible
21:41
behavior you lost seven in a row
21:43
you were very injured you It
21:45
was okay that everybody doubted you. Right.
21:48
The way that I put it yesterday was that
21:50
like the stars convinced me to not believe in
21:52
the stars. Yeah. That's typically how
21:54
it goes. Whenever people say like, Oh, we're
21:56
keeping receipts on this. If someone says,
21:58
Hey, your team is banged up or your
22:00
team isn't playing well, it's cause your
22:02
team is banged up and not playing well.
22:04
I did not leave the stars for
22:06
dead. Some did, but I. Thought that they
22:08
could make this a series. They also,
22:10
I think you got some very, very encouraging
22:12
signs based off of like Wyatt Johnson
22:14
and Miko Ranton and kind of had their
22:16
breakthroughs. McKinnon hates
22:18
Charlie Coyle. Apparently you have
22:21
that video. This
22:23
this video is very, very funny. And I
22:25
know that players go at each other
22:27
on the bench quite a bit. And like,
22:29
I wouldn't read too much into it. But
22:31
just look at how much Nathan McKinnon
22:33
seems to hate Charlie Coyle in this moment
22:35
is very funny. The
22:38
screen in the star zone so
22:40
it will come on up and
22:42
out. Tonight's
22:45
game brought to you by Vectrobank, Colorado. Put
22:48
the financial professionals at Vector to work for
22:50
you. Picking up the counts, small enough to
22:52
care and learn more at Vectorbank .com. A
22:54
division of Zion's Bank Corporation and a member
22:56
of the IC. Moj, I know it's easy
22:58
from up here and the players obviously have.
23:00
He's so mad. smile is so
23:02
fucking. It was just like getting yelled
23:04
at by arguably like a second best
23:06
player in the league. And then just
23:08
being like, oh, we're good. I think
23:10
Charlie was like, yeah, I know my
23:13
bad. We'll move on. We're going to
23:15
be good. And like 10, 10, 15
23:17
seconds later, McKinnon is still like, no,
23:19
fuck you. He's so mad.
23:21
McKinnon's his own thing. He is.
23:23
He is absolutely his own
23:25
thing. What did the avalanche lose
23:27
in the first round? What
23:29
if they lose in the first
23:31
round? This is a team
23:33
that very much so reshuffled their
23:35
roster and they changed up
23:37
their goal tending. I said last
23:39
night, welcome back Yorgyev on
23:41
that pop fly that went off
23:43
of the back of Mackenzie
23:45
Blackwood. Ugh. Not a
23:47
great moment, but not only that they
23:50
invested so much at the deadline trading
23:52
not only for Charlie Coyle but for
23:54
Brock Nelson and The good news will
23:56
be if they lose in the first
23:58
round Brock Nelson didn't cost as much
24:00
because some of the return Involved conditional
24:02
picks based on them winning the Stanley
24:04
Cup if they lose in the first
24:06
round They will not have won the
24:08
Stanley Cup, but they still will have
24:10
traded Callum Richie and a conditional first
24:13
round pick away for potentially Like a
24:15
month or two of Brock Nelson Yeah.
24:17
I mean, it's going to sting if
24:19
that happens, but like at them's the
24:21
brakes, honestly, like I don't, I'm not
24:23
going to shift like the way that
24:25
I viewed what the avalanche did just
24:27
based off the fact that, you know,
24:29
maybe they lose in the first round.
24:31
I think ultimately my takeaway is one
24:33
really good team was leaving this first
24:36
round in this matchup regardless. I
24:38
think the consequences of Dallas
24:40
losing the first round probably
24:42
would have been worse or
24:44
more severe. Then Colorado,
24:46
like I think Pete DeBork potentially gets
24:48
fired if Dallas loses in the first
24:50
round there, based off the way that
24:52
the season ended. And like, yeah, maybe
24:54
you have the built in Miro and
24:56
Jason Robertson excuse, but I don't know.
24:58
Like I would, I would maybe consider
25:01
it if I was Dallas. That's a
25:03
good question. Who can afford to lose
25:05
this series less? I think
25:07
that Colorado can get out of
25:09
it saying, you know, At least we
25:11
solved the Ranton situation and we
25:13
figured that out and we got our
25:15
I'd say long -term replacement But I
25:17
believe Netshass is only signed for
25:19
one more year after this at which
25:21
point they're gonna have to pay
25:23
him and he's probably gonna have huge
25:25
numbers with Nathan McKinnon, but I
25:27
Think I would I think I lean
25:29
it's worse for Colorado to lose
25:31
like I can wrap my head around
25:33
they lost Hayskin in and Things
25:35
just didn't work out, but it's all
25:37
right. They've got ran and signed
25:39
up for all this time. And you
25:41
know, the future begins next year. Colorado,
25:46
making that Nelson trade was such
25:48
a risk. And it's one
25:50
that I, no, I wouldn't
25:52
have taken that risk. I would have just
25:54
traded for a different center and spent less. Yeah.
25:57
mean, I think that that's a fair
25:59
takeaway, especially when hindsight's 2020 and you can
26:01
look back on them losing. I mean,
26:03
like at the end of the day, I
26:05
just I will not hold it against
26:07
Colorado for going for it and paying like
26:09
an exorbitant price for a player that
26:11
they wanted and identified as the guy that
26:13
maybe puts them over the top. We've
26:15
talked about it so much with, with a
26:17
team like Tampa, who they are very
26:20
okay overpaying and shelling out for the guy
26:22
that they think clicks with their group
26:24
and makes them a true Stanley cup contender.
26:26
And again, it's just like, that's the
26:28
way that it goes sometimes. I did want
26:30
to mention I lean brought up in
26:32
the chat and I sent this in the
26:34
group text last night. Lee and
26:36
Bischel fucking rules. He is awesome.
26:38
He is nasty and a ton
26:40
of fun to watch. He had
26:42
his like real bully moment last
26:44
night, just absolutely taking out guys
26:46
ribs. So shout out, Lee and
26:48
Bischel. I'm a big fan. I
26:50
need to make an admission. The
26:53
stairs that are lit up at
26:55
the stars games. That's grown on me.
26:57
And I'm understanding what they're going
26:59
for now. The whole thing looks like
27:01
a big thing of green. And
27:04
if you are, it fills in the, I
27:06
don't want to say cracks of empty seats,
27:08
just cracks of where there are not people.
27:10
Because everyone there is pretty much wearing green
27:12
already. And then you have a little glow
27:14
of the green kind of bridging the gap.
27:17
Is it Mickey Mouse? Is it
27:19
stupid? Yes. But I think
27:21
it actually looks quite cool. And I
27:23
don't want other teams to do it. I
27:25
want it to just be Dallas's thing.
27:27
But it looks a little better. And I
27:29
think that when you are at the
27:31
game, it probably feels rad. You can get
27:33
to the game by experiencing the playoffs
27:35
with vivid seats. I like that's right. Immediately
27:37
transition into an even let us could
27:39
not respond about how terrible of a take
27:41
that is. Yeah. Oh, you disagree, Sean?
27:43
Oh, yeah, I think that should look so
27:46
cheap. Outside of the fact that it's
27:48
distracting, like the fact that it's clearly just
27:50
like they strap some lights onto the
27:52
rail. And I wasn't transitioning to an ad
27:54
read. It was part of the ad
27:56
read. It was like, said, it was saying
27:58
like, I mean, yeah, that was the
28:00
transition to the ad read. But I, yeah,
28:02
I think it, I just think it
28:04
was very cheap because it's clearly not built
28:06
into the stadium. So it's not like
28:08
straight. They're kind of like jagged in that.
28:10
Yeah. Yeah. I think it looks cheap
28:12
gross. If you're trying to catch your team

29:57
lights real quick. I liked the the
29:59
oh, it's green. Now I get
30:01
it. And oh, you weren't being sarcastic
30:03
about the lights. No, I was
30:05
being sarcastic with my tweet yesterday and
30:07
I felt bad when people were
30:09
responding to it being like, oh, yeah,
30:11
I am noticing that kind of
30:13
neat. Check it out. I've got a
30:15
text out to a source asking
30:17
if the beautiful Korean women will be
30:19
at the Kings game tonight. Have
30:21
not heard back. I know this next
30:23
guest has been all over this
30:25
story. So let's bring in Paul Bissonette
30:27
from Spit and Chiclets and TNT. Biz,
30:30
what's up buddy? Are you hearing anything
30:32
on the harmonicas? I
30:34
got no intel. Can you guys
30:37
hear me though? Yeah, loud
30:39
and clear. Okay,
30:42
so you do have me. All right. Good.
30:44
My microphone wasn't working. So we're going to put
30:46
that to the side. I'm just going to
30:48
use my internal mic. So going a little bit
30:50
old school here on no Intel on the
30:52
hermonica crew guys. I haven't sent any any feelers
30:54
out yet. I just woke up. It's been
30:56
a crazy couple days, but I hope they are
30:58
for the king's sake because they're going to
31:00
need that type of energy coming off that that
31:03
fumble fuck. Okay, it has
31:05
been a crazy couple of days. Absolutely
31:07
understand you've been killing it. So you
31:09
should be very, very tired. We
31:11
have no idea who is winning the
31:13
Stanley cup. Like the abs are on the
31:15
brink of elimination. Vegas is in a
31:17
battle with Minnesota. Edmonton has no showed and
31:19
is still tied stars. Still not healthy
31:21
in the East. You got a bunch of
31:24
teams that are up three one, but
31:26
that seems so wide open. So are you
31:28
with me when I say that there
31:30
is so much more uncertainty at this point
31:32
of the playoffs than there usually is. Yeah,
31:35
I don't usually trust my opinion either.
31:37
And I've been asking like more professionals that
31:39
I trust. And they say the same
31:41
thing, like even going into playoffs, they felt
31:43
like seven to eight teams could win
31:45
it. I asked Rick talk it when we
31:47
had him on the TNT broadcast about
31:49
it. And he's like, no, there's like legit
31:51
seven, eight teams. So it's still very
31:53
much up in the air. And like, I
31:55
just read your, your tweet coming in
31:57
Pete, like. Dallas, like I, after last game,
31:59
I'm like, I'm pretty sure Colorado's Stanley
32:01
Cup champion. And then boom, Dallas goes home
32:04
and then just works them. So my
32:06
opinion has been flip flopping day to day
32:08
based on this insane action, but I
32:10
think we can all agree this has to
32:12
be the best start to the Stanley
32:14
Cup playoffs we've ever seen based on the
32:16
swings and just the chaos, very fitting
32:18
for your show name. as to what chaos
32:20
is happening from game to game. Like
32:22
even like after what happened at the end
32:24
of the Florida game, bang, bang, they
32:26
win it. And then Dallas scored nine seconds
32:28
in. So it's just like every time
32:30
you turn on your television, there's a hockey
32:32
game on like shits going down. It
32:34
is crazy too to say that like this
32:36
is the best or craziest first round
32:38
because all of the series in the Eastern
32:40
conference are three to one, which suggests
32:43
that like those aren't fun series when they
32:45
really are. We've done a lot of
32:47
talk about. You know, who's who's dead in
32:49
the water here? Like, do you look
32:51
at any of these teams already being dead
32:53
of the water? I
32:55
would probably say Ottawa and
32:57
Montreal are dead in the water.
32:59
Um, the way that just
33:02
Florida's built, uh, that
33:04
was such a tough loss for Tampa
33:06
yesterday. I thought they got hosed on a
33:08
few calls and I think that that
33:10
one's over. I think, uh, I think Florida
33:12
is going to put the Anaconda choke
33:14
hold on them. And then, you know what?
33:16
Actually, same thing with New Jersey. It
33:18
sucks with all the injuries they've dealt with.
33:20
I read that Seagant Daller and Pesci
33:22
are now game time decisions for game five
33:24
in Carolina. So I would pretty much
33:26
write off every single team in the East
33:28
that's down 3 -1. And as far as
33:30
out West, definitely not
33:32
writing off Colorado. And
33:36
I would have to put my
33:38
money on Vegas. Right now, I
33:40
think the Vegas odds have are
33:42
giving Minnesota plus 195 on the road
33:44
right now. So I would imagine a lot
33:46
of people are going to hammer that
33:48
for the juice, but I think that Vegas
33:50
has kind of played with fire a
33:52
little bit up until this point. We have
33:55
not seen the best of Jack Eichel
33:57
and that top line, although they did kind
33:59
of come alive in game four or
34:01
game five, excuse, or no, yeah, game four,
34:03
excuse me. So I would, I would
34:05
say Minnesota, it's not looking great, but they've
34:07
proved this wrong all season right like
34:09
they had that incredible start filtered off they
34:11
had the injuries they kind of you
34:13
know stayed afloat and and they've been fighting
34:15
like bastards in these playoffs and it's
34:17
been fun to watch but there's another one
34:19
that uh like they they could easily
34:21
be up three one that four minute minor
34:24
they almost had it killed and I
34:26
feel like like boldy just kind of missed
34:28
it right he just whiffed on it
34:30
and then they ended up getting the keep
34:32
and Next thing, you know, it's tie
34:34
game and OT. So, uh, those would be
34:36
my, my six picks, but more so
34:38
the East guys down three, one, they're toast.
34:41
Every series in the West being two,
34:43
two would make you think, okay, well,
34:45
then some of these teams that I
34:47
didn't expect to be in it might
34:49
have a chance. Are there any of the
34:51
teams that have quote unquote surprised us?
34:53
And in some case, like I say,
34:55
St. Louis, I say Minnesota. Then
34:58
when I have to fucking pick one in
35:00
that Edmonton series, like, are we really going to
35:02
say that LA is the team that has
35:04
shown us something when they have really fucked this
35:06
up so, so badly despite outplaying the Oilers?
35:08
Like, do you look at any of those three
35:10
teams, for example, and say, okay, you know
35:12
what? We add them to the list. If LA
35:15
gets out of the first round, maybe
35:17
they've got something or if St. Louis,
35:19
like, is this 2019 all over again?
35:21
So the one concern I have for
35:23
LA at this point, though, and the
35:25
fact that, like, They're not up three
35:27
or they could have they could have
35:29
swept them like let's look at it
35:31
like that like a horrible challenge. Um,
35:34
especially at the fact that two times
35:36
in the series, uh, games one and
35:38
games three where, um, Edmonton
35:40
had tied the game and then within a
35:42
minute, LA went down and scored like
35:44
to know had one and then more had
35:46
one wet like 10 seconds. Yeah. So
35:48
the fact they call that challenge to me
35:50
is, is insane. Um, there was another
35:53
view that they were pointing out where when
35:55
Kane whacked it at first and when
35:57
he hit his pad, that's what they were
35:59
talking about. But those challenges, man, they
36:01
don't like, they rarely turn those ones back
36:03
like 10, 15 % maybe. And that the
36:05
problem will, I guess with both teams
36:07
is they play their top three lines and
36:09
they're top 40. Like LA like, I
36:11
think that Brant Clark might have played like
36:14
what eight to 10 minutes. In game
36:16
four and then the and I don't even
36:18
know the other kid's name the six
36:20
mom of honor Yeah, had
36:22
like played like three minutes three minutes
36:24
like that's what I was getting when
36:26
I played boys like so you're You're
36:28
just like draining the energy of these
36:30
top three lines and top four D
36:32
where I mean, you know No offense
36:35
to Doughty, but he's also no spring
36:37
chicken either, right? So I feel that
36:39
the mental hurdle for LA will be
36:41
very difficult to get over on after
36:43
a complete choke job on the road
36:45
like I I don't I don't even
36:47
know if the harmonica ladies can bring
36:49
them back to life and also From
36:51
like there was no shock the way
36:53
they handle that over time because You
36:56
can't just change your mind frame all
36:58
of a sudden to slowly they started
37:00
sitting back more and more throughout the
37:02
third. You can't go back to the
37:04
way you were playing in the first two periods. You're
37:06
locked in that mode. And
37:09
for the most part, your legs probably
37:11
aren't working the same way because you've
37:13
just been fucking hanging back the whole
37:15
second half of the game. So I
37:17
don't get like, who
37:19
was there during the TV timeouts? Like, why
37:21
wasn't the coaching staff like, Boys, like we're
37:23
backing up way too much. I get that
37:25
we sit back typically and we try to
37:28
force them with our F1 to the red
37:30
line to get the dump. Boys, we did
37:32
a drill with Dave Tippett with the coyotes
37:34
where we would just say five guys stagnate
37:36
the D zone and the puck carry would
37:38
come in and we would work on our
37:40
D zone. It felt like Hiller went in
37:42
like between the second third and said, Hey
37:44
boys, we're going to work on our five
37:46
on five D zone this period. Like that's
37:48
what it looked like. I couldn't believe my
37:50
eyes at the fact that they had three
37:52
guys forwards on the blue. And then 2D
37:54
at the tops of the circles, allowing them
37:56
free zone entries. Like it was an amateur
37:58
hour, like masterclass. So do you look at
38:00
it as like a, like a strategy or
38:02
sort of like system thing that they're, they're
38:04
back on their heels or are like, they
38:06
literally could just be running out of energy
38:08
because they have such a short bench too.
38:12
Yeah. But if you work as a
38:14
five man unit, you could at least
38:16
just get them to like, to like
38:19
dump it into where they're not getting
38:21
a clean zone entry with possession. your
38:23
defenseman can still go back and like
38:25
make hard rims. And then at least
38:27
you're trying a 50 -50 battle on the
38:29
wall where, yeah, sometimes they're going to
38:31
keep it in, but at least you're
38:33
like, you're creating these 50 -50 battles
38:36
as opposed to just allowing them like
38:38
zone entry. Like 113 shot attempts, boys.
38:40
Like you're playing with fire. So I
38:42
don't understand why he was so defensive
38:44
at the podium where it's like crazy. You're
38:47
like, you did not expect us to
38:49
ask that question? Were you not? Watching the
38:51
same game that we were like I
38:53
have all the respect in the world for
38:55
the guy I think they had an
38:57
incredible season along with incredible goal tending but
38:59
I mean Darcy Kemper like what else
39:01
do you expect the guy to do you're
39:03
just playing with fire way too much
39:06
in that situation where we asked Leon after
39:08
the game about their strategy there and
39:10
he kind of rolled his eyes and he's
39:12
like wow they always hang back and
39:14
that's to begin with in a neutral zone
39:16
sense they weren't even in the neutral
39:18
zone they were in their defensive zone So
39:20
I don't know what's going to happen
39:22
in game five. I hope they come out
39:24
and play like they did the first
39:26
two periods in basically every single game that
39:28
they played against them this series. But
39:31
that is a They might have to
39:33
take an ayahuasca trip to get aware
39:35
of that experience. You mean to tell
39:37
me that Leon Drysaddle rolled his eyes?
39:39
I'm not believing this. This does not
39:41
sound like something that he would do.
39:43
These coaches though, dude, like these coaches
39:45
are having an asshole off. And if
39:47
I'm Chris Knoblock right now, I am
39:49
thanking the hockey gods that Jim Hiller
39:51
is doing, whatever he's doing, because we
39:54
should have a thousand questions. For Chris
39:56
Knoblock like if they are wearing themselves
39:58
down and biz I'll give you this
40:00
these numbers last game Kings had eight
40:02
forwards with over 24 minutes Oilers had
40:04
two forwards with over 24 minutes. You
40:06
know what their names are Kings had
40:08
four defensemen with 30 minutes Oilers had
40:10
one defenseman Evan Bouchard with 30 minutes
40:12
So even if I said this yesterday,
40:14
even if the Kings get through this
40:16
round there, they're like already at the
40:18
point Halfway through a round where you
40:20
say, boy, that last round really, uh,
40:22
tuckered them out and they're not even
40:25
through the round. So they're putting themselves
40:27
in trouble there to Chris Knoblock. I
40:29
say fucking play Jeff Skinner. So you
40:31
can have more guys who could beat
40:33
them when they are sitting back and
40:35
are absolutely all exhausted. Okay,
40:37
so great point, like advantage Edmonton
40:39
going to the next round as
40:41
far as not being as beat,
40:44
like tired. Also like dry
40:46
saddle and McDavid did get some time
40:48
off due to injuries at the end
40:50
of the year. So they're probably okay
40:52
getting that type of a high amount
40:54
of ice time, but why'd you say
40:56
they're having an asshole off? Like what
40:58
has bothered you about Knoblock? Like I
41:00
felt like, like he was. I felt
41:02
he was pretty reasonable about them shooting
41:04
themselves in the foot in the first
41:06
two games, but you mean by playing
41:08
Picard back -to -back games? I was so
41:10
fucking mad about him going back to
41:12
picks in game four. I'm not. I'm
41:14
not. I was going, look, look, I
41:16
was going to Picard in game five
41:18
either way. I was going to go,
41:20
I was going to go Picard game
41:22
three, Stu game four, because Picard
41:24
stinks in back -to -back games. And then
41:26
on the road, do not put Skinner
41:28
back on the road. Go with Pickard
41:30
in game. All right. All right. As
41:32
long as you agree on that. Right.
41:35
But when he fucking allowed and you
41:37
talked about relinquishing a lead right
41:39
after they scored in game three after
41:41
Connor Brown tied the game and
41:43
Trevor Moore had a sort of partial
41:45
break with one hand because he's
41:47
got, I think, Walman all over him
41:49
and he's got no control over
41:51
the puck. Did Pickard think that he
41:53
was going to like fucking deke
41:55
him or something? He has his five
41:57
hole wide open. All more can
42:00
do is shovel the puck forward and
42:02
he fucking lets it in. So
42:04
I was, I was furious to stick
42:06
with him then and he gives
42:08
up another bad five hole goal in
42:10
the beginning of game four. I
42:12
was like, fuck me. None of these
42:14
goalies can, can make a save,
42:16
but Skinner at least can be a
42:18
big fat idiot and be in
42:20
front of a puck. So I was,
42:22
I was, you have to deal
42:24
with these therapy sessions a lot. Every
42:26
day. Dude, I was going to
42:29
say you too should. So you two
42:31
should have a podcast and me
42:33
and which should have a podcast and
42:35
you two should have a podcast
42:37
with an Oilers guy podcast. Yeah. Now
42:39
do a little wife swap AP. 100 %
42:41
let's do it. I do. I mean,
42:44
I do have to add the knob
42:46
lock thing. I thought you were going
42:48
to more going to say like. How
42:50
many fucking line combinations can a coach
42:52
throw out there over the course of
42:54
a seven game series? Cause he's gotta
42:56
be hitting like triple digits at this
42:58
point. It's unbelievable. And the, like
43:00
the point at which he throws his,
43:02
his lines into a blender is like
43:04
40 seconds into the game. Somehow you've,
43:07
you've already seen 12 different line combinations
43:09
in the first minute of a game.
43:11
It's unbelievable. I thought that's where you're
43:13
going. At some point that we
43:15
do, we, we do have to talk
43:17
about your. your goddamn beloved Toronto Maple
43:19
Leafs. Okay, sure. Yeah. All right. I
43:21
will start. I will start the conversation
43:24
like this. You have
43:26
a good sense of humor. You
43:28
have to admit it would
43:30
be fucking hilarious. Like it would
43:32
be the funniest possible outcome
43:34
if the Leafs lost in seven
43:36
here. I'd probably delete
43:38
my apps for about three, four days
43:41
if that happened. That's
43:43
probably the result of the
43:45
Leafs blowing a three -nothing series
43:47
lead. I don't think it's going
43:49
to happen. I think they're going to win game five. I
43:52
think that my arsehole will be puckered
43:54
up about this tight if it even
43:56
goes to six, because you probably feel
43:58
the seeded out creep in a little
44:00
bit. But I just feel like I
44:02
actually feel like we haven't seen Toronto's
44:04
best other than really in game one.
44:06
I felt like that's where they were
44:08
really clicking power play look good. Contributions
44:11
from the back end, which have been a
44:13
very big bright spot for the Leaf so
44:15
far in this series, but Ottawa's
44:17
fought hard like games, games two
44:19
and three, like I felt for the
44:22
first 40, like 40 minutes, they
44:24
kind of control play. So. they
44:26
gotta get off and get a full 60
44:28
in. And also to prove to themselves that
44:30
they can do it because my issue with
44:32
the Leafs a little bit is sometimes I'll
44:34
goal at these seven, eight minute stretches where
44:36
you're like, hey, you need
44:39
like that, okay, two bad shifts in a
44:41
row, that third line needs to kill
44:43
it and then get the momentum back and
44:45
then go back at it where I feel
44:47
like the good teams, like the
44:49
teams like the Dallas's, the Colorado's, the
44:51
Florida's, They don't allow those lapses to
44:53
happen as long as the Leafs do,
44:55
and especially against a team like Ottawa.
44:57
So credit to Ottawa. They got some
44:59
good young studs. But ultimately, Leafs got
45:02
to figure it out at home tonight,
45:04
get themselves some rest. Because if they
45:06
do play Florida next round, not only
45:08
is everything going to have to go
45:10
right, they're going to have to get
45:12
to a level that they've never gotten
45:14
to as far as compete. So let's
45:16
just focus on Ottawa tonight, though. I
45:18
don't think all mark has necessarily been
45:21
in his best. I'm a little concerned
45:23
with him stealing one But Stolar is
45:25
awesome. Like I don't really have many
45:27
gripes with the Leafs lineup right now
45:29
There's not like there's not like any
45:31
guys I could really pick on I
45:33
do I do wish that like looking
45:35
back they did a better job of
45:37
establishing a better bottom six in a
45:40
sense of like big, heavier players that
45:42
make more of an impact and can
45:44
like help wear teams down. I felt
45:46
like do, like, and I'm not trying
45:48
to criticize Dubas too much, but I
45:50
felt like during that era, they didn't
45:52
really draft like to fit those needs
45:54
necessarily per se, right? Like I do
45:56
like guys in the bottom six, but
45:59
there were maybe a few other guys
46:01
I'd like to have their making impact.
46:03
Like, like for instance, I look at
46:05
like Minnesota's fourth line. And I know
46:07
Ross, he's probably a little bit like
46:09
he should be a little higher in
46:11
the lineup. It just so happens he's
46:13
on that fourth, but like a guy
46:16
like Trennan and a guy like Brazil,
46:18
like those guys four check like Madden
46:20
and their big bodies. They're physical. Like
46:22
I'd like a little bit more that
46:24
from our four, our third and fourth
46:26
line right now. So, uh, McMahon's been
46:28
quiet. Have you found that? Like he's
46:30
made, he's played okay, but he's been
46:32
a little too quiet for me. So
46:35
I hope he has a big game
46:37
too and game five. I mean, speaking
46:39
of wearing, wearing guys down, is there
46:41
any concern in your mind about the
46:43
shop locking for the Leafs? Because they
46:45
are just eating shots. And we said
46:47
this on one of our overtime streams,
46:49
like, I do wonder,
46:51
like, if the longer this series
46:54
goes and like, Otto has
46:56
just been absolutely pelting Leafs players,
46:58
the entire series, like, at
47:00
some point, does that kind of
47:02
slow the Leafs down? Um,
47:05
no, no, because like, typically
47:07
teams that go deep do
47:10
that. Like Vegas was like
47:12
a notorious shot blocking team.
47:14
Like you would have Martinez,
47:16
McNabb, like Petrol, White, like
47:18
all those guys would just eat pox, right?
47:20
So you get a lot of bumps
47:23
and bruises, but the guys who do
47:25
it for Toronto are also used to
47:27
it. Like all of Reckman Larson, I
47:29
wouldn't say it was in his bag
47:31
before he got to Florida, but he
47:33
did that with Florida. Like he was,
47:35
he was solid enough doing that. Chris
47:37
Tan have obviously is doing that. He's
47:39
probably like the lead leaguer, lead league
47:41
and block shots. Like he's basically a
47:43
goalie, right? Like, so, um, no, I
47:45
don't, that, that is not something that
47:47
concerns me. No. Does this year
47:49
feel different to you? And I know that
47:51
that's a, I shouldn't ask a Leafs fan
47:53
that because they'll always say like, Oh yeah,
47:55
this year feels different, but. All year, maybe
47:57
it's because the East is so wide open,
47:59
but also because like I love the Carlo
48:02
edition. He's looking a little more like 2019
48:04
Carlo than he's looked the last couple of
48:06
years in Boston. I like the goal tending
48:08
for Toronto. Like this has been the easiest
48:10
year to make sense of the Leafs making
48:12
a run. And I agree with you that
48:14
if they run into trouble, it's not going
48:16
to be in this round. It might be
48:18
against Florida, but how much of your confidence
48:21
is you love this fucking team and how
48:23
much of it is, it kind of makes
48:25
sense this year. Yeah,
48:27
that's kind of where I'm at. I
48:29
view that their toughest round would
48:31
be round two against Florida. Because to
48:33
me, they could beat Washington. They
48:35
could beat Carolina. I agree. I
48:38
would probably have them over
48:40
both those teams. Obviously,
48:42
if you held a gun to my head
48:44
and you said, who would you take, Florida or
48:46
Toronto? I would say
48:48
the better team, maybe paper
48:50
wise, experience wise, proven
48:52
goal -tending wise. would
48:55
would be edge to Florida but you
48:57
just mentioned it like they have good
48:59
enough goal tending to win a Stanley
49:01
Cup like the numbers are the numbers
49:03
from regular season. He's looked good enough
49:05
in playoffs so far that he could
49:07
lead them to a Stanley Cup. The
49:09
back ends big like they you know
49:11
they're not like the most electrifying like
49:13
they don't have a Kail McCarr but
49:15
for some reason they've stepped it up
49:17
offensively so they're getting offense from Oregon
49:19
Riley they're getting it from Oliver Reckman
49:21
Larson and they have those big body
49:23
shutdown defensemen and then up front man
49:25
like they're they're top six like JT's
49:27
playing great man like he plays he
49:29
he's probably been their best consistent forward
49:31
he wins his battles he looks a
49:34
little bit faster even than last year
49:36
like he looks like he has his
49:38
jump and so it would just be
49:40
a matter of that bottom six like Pulling
49:42
them over the top. So personnel wise
49:44
boys like they have a good enough
49:46
team to win the Stanley Cup Nope,
49:49
just nobody trusts that those core four
49:51
guys can get it done one thing
49:53
that does like piss me off sometimes
49:55
always like Like like I like I
49:57
love Willie like I think like his
49:59
blade back demeanor is amazing Just like
50:01
he missed that one break away the
50:03
one game and like he's smiling but
50:05
then like in the next period They're
50:07
up by a goal and What
50:10
was it? I think there was
50:12
like a, it was four on four
50:14
and Toronto had, or Ottawa
50:16
had their guy coming out of the box, right?
50:18
So he obviously from like knowing the clock
50:20
perspective, like you have to have clock time
50:22
management. You have to know that. He had
50:25
it in the ozone and he like fumbled
50:27
it and lost it. And then he trips
50:29
the guy. So then all of a sudden
50:31
like Ottawa's gets the five on three and
50:33
then they score on it where I'm like,
50:35
like those are the things where it's like,
50:37
buddy, you got the one goal lead. You
50:39
have the puck in the offensive zone. Don't
50:41
fuck around with it. Understand clock management. This
50:44
is playoffs. Fuck off with the Tom Foolery.
50:46
Like I, like when I was playing with
50:48
my coach, Mike Stothers, if that would have
50:50
happened, he would have had the video up
50:52
between periods at the laser point or being
50:54
like, what the fuck is this? Like, what
50:56
are you doing? Like, fuck you. Like
50:58
this is bullshit because it is. And
51:00
like when you're making 11 million, you should
51:02
be making mistakes like that. Like those
51:04
are things in kinks that you work out.
51:06
in the regular season. So does he
51:08
do make up enough for it offensively? Like
51:11
that's pass over to Oliver Reckman Larson?
51:13
Absolutely. But if the Leafs want to win
51:15
a Stanley Cup, they're going to have
51:17
to not only get those plays being made
51:19
by those guys, but they're going to
51:21
have to dial it in mentally because the
51:23
teams like Florida, they'll fucking eat you
51:25
alive when you make mistakes like that. Dallas,
51:27
they'll eat you alive when you make
51:29
mistakes like that. Same thing with Colorado. So
51:31
luckily the teams in the West are
51:33
beating the shit out of each other. And
51:35
Toronto's hump would definitely be
51:37
just getting over Florida. Okay. This
51:40
show's motto is, uh, we do
51:42
chit chat, not hit chat, but,
51:44
uh, how do you handle
51:46
people calling everything dirty? Because I
51:48
saw your tweet after the Wilson
51:50
hit and I feel like I
51:52
see this often from you where
51:54
you react to people's maybe
51:56
overreactions. I'll say definitely overreactions to
51:59
every hit needing to be, let's
52:01
call every place. Every
52:03
time they complain about these
52:05
hits now, it's just like,
52:07
do they not understand what
52:09
knee flexion and torso, how
52:11
you're supposed to be, what angles
52:13
you're gonna be at when you're skating
52:15
and making a skating stride? Your
52:17
head is gonna be the first thing
52:19
that absorbs contact, even if you're
52:21
trying to drive through a player's body.
52:24
It's impossible. to like like look at
52:26
that he's got his arm in shoulder
52:28
down and his shoulders basically hitting him
52:30
like in like the collar bone slash
52:32
like neck area like I don't know
52:34
he's a little bit taller where do
52:36
you want him to get him that's
52:38
where he's exposed like keep your head
52:40
up coming through the neutral zone what
52:43
do you want me to tell you
52:45
yeah I mean like I I just
52:47
don't even engage in the the hit
52:49
chat stuff on Twitter anymore because like
52:51
you could have the most clear cut
52:53
dirty play that you've ever
52:55
seen in your life or the
52:57
most clear cut, clean hit you've
52:59
ever seen in your life. And
53:01
there will be somebody posting screenshots
53:03
being like, actually, this is dirty.
53:05
Like there will always be an
53:07
opposition. So it is always a
53:09
losing battle. Like, where do you
53:11
put what's happened in the Florida
53:14
series so far? Like, how do
53:16
you rank those incidents with Hegel,
53:18
with Kachuk and now with Barkov
53:20
or with Ekblad? Where do you
53:22
rank them? Yeah, so I was
53:24
okay with Hagel getting a game,
53:26
but I just like for people
53:28
who may maybe like never played
53:30
and once again, like this is
53:32
not an insult. Barkov is such
53:34
an amazing 200 foot center, right?
53:36
And he's so long and he's
53:38
able to close on guys. So
53:40
when he was closing on McDonough
53:42
and Hagel was tracking Barkov, probably
53:44
for that reason, right? Like you're
53:46
trying to not only support McDonough
53:49
as a player coming back there,
53:51
But when Barkov reached over and
53:53
like lifted his stick, it almost
53:55
looked because the puck shot out
53:57
that he made contact with it.
53:59
That's what I thought originally. Like
54:01
when I saw it in real time, I
54:03
was like, oh, I was like, oh, he knocked it
54:05
off his stick and then he caught him perfect timing.
54:07
And then they called the penalty and even Hegel was
54:09
like, what? And look at the
54:11
replay. He didn't touch it. So I
54:13
deemed it as a hockey play, but
54:15
he made the wrong read. It was
54:17
definitely, um, more of a violent hit
54:19
than the Kachuk one in a sense
54:21
of like how much he got, like
54:23
power he got him with. So at
54:25
that point, onus has to be on
54:27
the player. Okay. With him getting the
54:30
game where I assumed that they would
54:32
give one to Kachuk was like, like,
54:34
we all know what Kachuk was trying
54:36
to do there. Like, come on here.
54:38
Like, like, like, let's not even argue
54:40
that, right? Are we all on the
54:42
same page? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's
54:45
Kachuk, which, which as Yance pointed out,
54:47
he's smart enough to hit him. just
54:49
the perfect like strength to not get
54:51
suspended. But when he got him, like
54:53
Gensel was blindsided and he landed on
54:55
his head. You can see his kind
54:57
of reaction where he hits his head
54:59
and he's like, so I thought based
55:01
on the precedent being set with Hagel
55:03
that they would have given to Chuck
55:05
one, but he flirted that line perfectly.
55:08
He took the perfect opportunity and a
55:10
nothing game at that point to get
55:12
his cheap shot on, cheap shot in
55:14
and retribution for the Hagel play. and
55:17
he gets out alive. Now, I
55:19
think just like peer pressure along
55:21
with the elbow from Ekblad, I
55:24
think he's probably gonna get a game. That
55:27
would be my assumption because it would be
55:29
so ridiculous if they get two cheap shots
55:31
and then Tampa gets one and Tampa's the
55:33
only one with a suspension. And Coop was
55:35
obviously pretty animated about it and rightfully so
55:38
on the fact that there was a no
55:40
call. And then sure enough, that guy ends
55:42
up getting the tying goal. So like I
55:44
said, I'm not like one of those people
55:46
that'll scream from the mountaintops like, Oh, that's
55:48
dirty from good chalk. He deserves to get
55:50
suspended. It's more of like, I don't know,
55:52
man, if you're going to throw Hegel out
55:54
for a game, you embark on his back,
55:57
like Gensel got back up and he stayed
55:59
in the game, like credit to him. So
56:02
I mean, yeah. So what did
56:04
you guys think? I
56:06
think that if you don't suspend ecblad, you have
56:08
to allow a player on the lightning to
56:10
take steroids. That's yeah, I
56:12
even the field I I
56:14
agree the answer to this we
56:16
were asking does eckblad count
56:18
as a repeat offender when he
56:20
took steroids and then did
56:22
something that looks like roid rage
56:24
You guys are idiots Well,
56:26
we're gonna pull up some of
56:28
your tweets because you you've
56:30
been hitting something that we hit
56:32
yesterday which is Do the
56:34
Oilers need to win this round
56:36
to keep Connor McDavid and
56:38
you had a tweet in game
56:40
two. Kings are the real
56:42
deal. Oilers on the ropes. Who
56:44
starts for Edmonton next game.
56:46
Man, after my own heart is
56:48
McDavid putting up with this
56:50
much longer. It's ugly. And then
56:52
game four, I think it
56:54
was, it must have been that
56:56
shitty one that Pickard allowed
56:58
that goal may make McDavid a
57:00
maple leaf. He's fed up.
57:02
I will remind folks. that you
57:04
knew that Bowman was going
57:06
to, you're the first person I
57:08
heard whisper a little something
57:10
about Dave. Stan Bowman to Edmonton.
57:12
Book it. Do you know
57:14
something or is this just conjecture?
57:17
No, no, I'm just fucking around. I'm
57:19
just stirring the pot. And like, like
57:21
the, the play was, yes, you're right.
57:23
It was on the three one goal
57:25
where I believe McDavid snapped it back
57:28
and Bush bobbled it. Bush is a
57:30
Jekyll and Hyde, by the way. Oh
57:32
yeah. You know, you
57:34
never know what you're getting with him.
57:36
He's got like split personality disorder out
57:38
there, which is awesome. If you have
57:40
those two electric dude, if the playoffs
57:42
ended today, he'd be in the con
57:44
smith conversation because his numbers are fucking
57:47
bonkers. It's like if Rasmus Ristalainen was
57:49
also Cale McCarr. Yeah. Exactly.
57:55
Exactly. He's like, was it
57:57
me, myself and Irene where he's like,
57:59
he just like is a new person all
58:01
of a sudden? But he, he bobbled
58:03
that one. I think he double clutched it.
58:05
And McDavid just went back to the
58:07
bench and they had the slow motion look
58:09
on his face. And I'm like, okay,
58:12
this is my, this is my time to
58:14
shine here and just stir the pot.
58:16
But, uh, no, no, I don't know anything.
58:18
And I'm sure he's happy in Edmonton.
58:20
And he seems like a type, like a
58:22
Sidney Crosby type where he's extremely loyal.
58:24
And I would, uh, I could only imagine,
58:26
uh, Leon Dreyseidel, if he
58:28
ended up saying, Hey, peace out, like
58:30
Leon, Leon might kill him. Yeah.
58:32
I can't get a gun. That's like,
58:34
that's almost, I want to see
58:36
them play together forever. I love their
58:38
friendship, but I would be really
58:40
intrigued by the Connor Leon relationship and
58:42
how it, how it goes. If,
58:44
if Connor ever leaves, it'd be amazing.
58:47
Imagine them scrapping center. I sleep, sleep.
58:49
Oilers first match up this McDavid
58:51
and Leon T and off on each
58:54
other. Cause of the betrayal. I
58:56
will say somebody in our chat yesterday
58:58
said, Oh, like what would it
59:00
do for Leon's numbers and his career
59:02
if McDavid left? If Leon had
59:04
to be the only guy on a
59:06
team, he would be fucking awesome.
59:08
He would be what Nathan McKinnon is.
59:11
He would be incredible. Yes.
59:13
Yes. He can drive his own line.
59:15
Yeah. He, like every team's going to
59:17
have a talented enough top five players
59:19
where he still is going to be
59:21
in a 90 to 110 point range
59:24
regardless. Like it's obviously those guys are,
59:26
are, are just on a different planet.
59:28
So when you have another guy like
59:30
that, you're able to, it's like a
59:32
Pippen and Jordan situation where you can
59:34
just do even more superior things. But
59:37
yeah, it ain't affecting him. And like,
59:39
McDavid was injured. at the end of
59:41
the season, like you see what he
59:43
can do without him. Uh,
59:45
last one for me, who,
59:47
who wins in a fight, a
59:49
hundred Irish travelers or a
59:52
gorilla? I
59:54
don't know, man. When they got the, the, the
59:56
blow on them and they got the pops
59:58
in them, they, those guys are like the energizer
1:00:00
buddy, man. They, they got the,
1:00:02
they got the, they got the cross size. They got
1:00:04
the twitch in their eyes, man. They go crazy.
1:00:06
So I had to put my, my money on a
1:00:08
hundred Irish travelers. How
1:00:11
did you do he was talking about
1:00:13
this before the show like what really
1:00:15
has you've done so many great things
1:00:17
you were its amazing Twitter personality and
1:00:20
then obviously the podcast and TV and
1:00:22
everything what is really what really vaulted
1:00:24
you into being like a household name
1:00:26
and a Hero who everybody loves is
1:00:28
the fact that you fought maniacs It
1:00:30
guys like I like I'm sure you
1:00:32
guys have heard this story like so
1:00:34
I always go to that Houston's right
1:00:36
and like I had a
1:00:38
couple puffs of a joint. I go in,
1:00:40
I order my salad and I chill.
1:00:43
I just chill there, right? So the last
1:00:45
thing I expected at Houston's family restaurant
1:00:47
was something like that to happen. And it
1:00:49
just kind of escalated out of nowhere.
1:00:51
The last thing I wanted to do was
1:00:53
scrap in a restaurant, but
1:00:55
I knew the guys. So I was
1:00:57
just like, why are guys like in
1:00:59
this guy's grill right now? Like this
1:01:01
makes no sense. And the fact that
1:01:03
it had gone on for 45 seconds
1:01:05
at that point, like I don't know
1:01:07
if it's cause I like had took
1:01:09
a couple of puffs or, or whatever,
1:01:11
or because like that was my job
1:01:13
in the NHL. I was just like,
1:01:15
okay, well, this is ridiculous. They don't
1:01:17
have security here and nobody's doing anything.
1:01:20
So I'll walk over. And like as
1:01:22
I'm walking over, they were still being
1:01:24
dickheads. So, um, yeah, probably, probably could
1:01:26
have did a better job of deescalating
1:01:28
the situation, but at the end of
1:01:30
the day, who gives a fucking. I
1:01:32
got boot -fucked in the head a couple
1:01:34
times and we lived to laugh about
1:01:36
it, right? Did you have any concern
1:01:38
after the fact that you were in
1:01:40
a marijuana -induced psychosis and that you
1:01:42
were actually just envisioning and hallucinating and
1:01:44
you were just fighting like a nice
1:01:46
family of five? It's
1:01:50
like that bitch stole
1:01:52
my appetizer! They
1:01:55
play you back the security footage,
1:01:57
and you're like, oh, that's not what
1:01:59
I thought happened whatsoever. like,
1:02:02
sir, you ripped the kid out of his
1:02:04
stroller. Like, what are you doing? And
1:02:06
you had already put out the video explaining what
1:02:08
happened. You were like, I go to this restaurant.
1:02:11
This gentleman is being mean to this person.
1:02:13
And we see the video after. We're
1:02:15
like, oh, that's not what it was, bro.
1:02:18
Nope. Nope. That was a piety.
1:02:21
You were smoking crack. Uh,
1:02:25
I wasn't cannabis. Um, but yeah, no,
1:02:27
I, I'll, I just remember afterward how
1:02:29
gassed I was cause I went from
1:02:31
like just being a chill mode to
1:02:33
next thing, you know, it was like
1:02:35
Peter Griffin and the chicken having a
1:02:38
scrap three, three minutes go by and
1:02:40
I'm sitting on the curve at CVS
1:02:42
and I'm doing post game press conferences.
1:02:44
So, um, yeah, it was just
1:02:46
a. Crazy time boys and like I don't
1:02:48
know I do feel like weird shit
1:02:50
does happen to me more frequently than others
1:02:52
Like I just I'm one of those
1:02:55
guys where like I just find myself in
1:02:57
a weird situation sometimes and Yeah, like
1:02:59
I talked to like a few of my
1:03:01
buddies are just like buddy. How does
1:03:03
this shit always happen when you're around and
1:03:05
I'm like, I don't know Maybe it's
1:03:07
cuz you got a zest for life. That's
1:03:09
why Yeah, maybe, maybe. I mean, it's
1:03:11
like Fidelberg. Fidelberg always has these stories. And
1:03:14
then they all happened. And people always
1:03:16
think that he's just making up his stories.
1:03:18
And like, based off the one time
1:03:20
that I hung out with him for a
1:03:22
night, it was the craziest fucking story
1:03:24
I've ever had in my life. We stole
1:03:26
a dog. Accidentally. And
1:03:29
it was just like, I 100 % believe all of
1:03:31
his stories because he told that story exactly the
1:03:33
way that it happened. And it was insane. We saw
1:03:35
a dog that was by itself and we were
1:03:37
like, we're going to the beach to have a late
1:03:40
night swim. We gotta, we can't let this dog
1:03:42
be by itself. Well, let's bring it to the beach.
1:03:44
Let's take care of them. Let's feed them. Let's,
1:03:46
we wake up the next morning to the next door
1:03:48
neighbors who are like, Hey, we saw
1:03:50
you come on our porch and
1:03:52
take our dog. And we were like,
1:03:54
fuck, that's what happened. Yeah. what
1:03:56
was going on with the Did you guys have
1:03:58
it in your place? Yeah. My
1:04:02
head at the pillow being like DJ,
1:04:04
you are a good person. You saved
1:04:07
a dog. You, you keep good company.
1:04:09
You all did the right thing. And
1:04:11
then the next morning when they were
1:04:13
like, we have our dog back. Everyone's
1:04:15
like, right. Yeah,
1:04:18
you're waking up to body cam footage. But
1:04:21
fights is the man. He's so talented,
1:04:23
much like you guys and fun, funny bastards.
1:04:25
All you guys are funny bastards. I
1:04:27
love fights. You know what? When we, the
1:04:29
first time we had Seth Jarvis on,
1:04:31
I was like, do you know John Fidelberg?
1:04:34
He was like, don't know who that
1:04:36
is. And I was like, you would, you're
1:04:38
very similar because you both seem to,
1:04:40
like everyone loves you and you hate yourself.
1:04:42
And that's just kind of Seth Jarvis,
1:04:44
which is amazing. And that's what Fidelberg is.
1:04:46
And I'm glad there are people in
1:04:48
this world like them. Yes,
1:04:50
we all need more people like
1:04:52
hit fights and Jarvis and definitely need
1:04:55
more guys like Jarvis in the
1:04:57
NHL. If you had like two, two
1:04:59
Jarvis's per team in the NHL,
1:05:01
we would be in very, very, very
1:05:03
good shape. Amazing. Well, there is
1:05:05
no one like you. Thank you so much
1:05:07
for coming on. We always appreciate you, buddy. Oh,
1:05:09
right back at you guys keep doing your
1:05:12
thing. I love seeing you guys clip watching your
1:05:14
show. Are you guys you guys crush it?
1:05:16
And I love running into you guys when we're
1:05:18
at the events too. And and and Blackie,
1:05:20
I'm sure I'll see you at the Stanley Cup
1:05:22
finals, but you're getting married this summer, right?
1:05:24
I am. Yeah. Are you?
1:05:26
Are you a groomsman? Beiner?
1:05:29
I'm the best man. That's
1:05:31
right. Wow. There you go. That's
1:05:34
a lot of pressure. I'm giving him away. That's
1:05:37
right. It's walking me down
1:05:39
the aisle. Do you have to emcee
1:05:41
the wedding too? I will done.
1:05:43
I probably am not supposed to but
1:05:46
I fucking will I'll make it story
1:05:48
time a prop Mike so he can
1:05:50
he can like yeah, no one knows
1:05:52
it's not on I'm just walking around
1:05:54
just having a good time. You won't
1:05:56
gift him the neighbor's dog for his
1:05:58
wedding present. That
1:06:01
would be the best. Yeah. You're
1:06:04
the best. Love you boys.
1:06:07
Keep doing your thing. Find a way to get
1:06:09
some sleep at some point soon. I'm going to
1:06:11
go right back to the wrapper right now. Oh,
1:06:13
you got it. All right. Later, boys. What
1:06:17
a legend. He's fantastic. There's no one like
1:06:19
him. He said that there should be more
1:06:21
people like Jarvis. There should be. I
1:06:24
don't want another biz. I want that.
1:06:26
I want biz to be the only
1:06:28
place you can find great hockey analysis
1:06:30
and being attacked by people when he
1:06:32
did not have it coming. All of
1:06:34
it. I'll tell you who wants there
1:06:36
to be another biz. ESPN.
1:06:40
Yes. ESPN could use
1:06:42
another biz. You say that
1:06:44
after ESPN had an absolute banner.
1:06:47
I will say ESPN had a great
1:06:49
night last night. That's a great. I
1:06:51
don't think it was by any like
1:06:53
not by their plan and not by
1:06:55
like. They're not supposed. They can't. They
1:06:57
try to plan. Yes. Funny segments all
1:07:00
the time and they they never hit.
1:07:02
They they accidentally made it a great.
1:07:04
Well, they accidentally said the first part.
1:07:06
They did capitalize on looking into a
1:07:08
very true situation. They had
1:07:10
they had Dave Jackson in studio
1:07:12
last night. And then after
1:07:14
the Ekblad thing happened, Mark Messier
1:07:16
and P. K. Subban with
1:07:18
Dave Jackson in studio was electric
1:07:20
movie. Mark Messier lost his
1:07:22
fucking mind. And it was amazing.
1:07:24
And then they came back,
1:07:26
uh, in the second intermission and
1:07:29
they set Messier up, uh,
1:07:31
for like how angry he got
1:07:33
about the Ekblad forearm shiver
1:07:35
and just showed a montage of
1:07:37
Messier, like trying to kill
1:07:39
guys. And it was hilarious. And
1:07:41
it was made even more hilarious by
1:07:43
the fact that Messier was so uncomfortable and
1:07:45
so mad and was like, that was
1:07:48
30 years ago. Played a different
1:07:50
sport. Which fair, but I thought it
1:07:52
was fun that ESPN was having fun
1:07:54
with it. That's not something that I'm
1:07:56
typically getting from them. So great job
1:07:58
on that. And I absolutely love when
1:08:00
people yell at Dave Jackson. So I
1:08:02
was there for that. Dave Jackson was
1:08:04
completely right. Messier was just
1:08:06
so emotional in the moment that he was not
1:08:08
listening to what Dave Jackson had to say. And
1:08:10
then PK said, the most ridiculous thing I've ever
1:08:12
said, I've ever heard, which is that the eggplant
1:08:14
hit was, you couldn't have called an elbow on
1:08:16
that. And even though it was like the only
1:08:19
point of contact was that bloods elbow. Um, and
1:08:21
then yeah, Messier just absolutely lost it at that
1:08:23
point. It was hilarious. It is very funny that
1:08:25
Dave Jackson was right for the first time in
1:08:27
his life and got absolutely screamed at by Mark.
1:08:29
Uh, you
1:08:31
have some breaking news. We
1:08:33
can expect harmonicas at the
1:08:35
Crip this evening, okay? I
1:08:37
mean if they didn't if
1:08:39
those ladies weren't there after
1:08:41
how that series went in
1:08:44
Edmonton It would be the
1:08:46
biggest chunk of all time.
1:08:48
They need that so bad
1:08:50
that that is the last
1:08:52
crumb of hope and That
1:08:54
sounds dramatic, but like right
1:08:56
now If you're the Kings,
1:08:58
and I'm not saying that you're
1:09:00
done and you're not still absolutely in
1:09:02
this, but if you don't have
1:09:05
that one thing that reminds you of the
1:09:07
good old days, damn, what do you have? They
1:09:09
need to make it better each time. Like
1:09:11
last like but but incrementally like the first time
1:09:13
you just had the women the second time
1:09:15
they had jerseys by the by the time he
1:09:17
gets to the Stanley Cup I want like
1:09:19
a full -blown Super Bowl halftime show production. Oh,
1:09:21
I was gonna say they gotta be yeah buckets.
1:09:23
Yes. I was gonna take more and more
1:09:26
uniform more uniform elements as the series goes along
1:09:28
by the end of it like stick in
1:09:30
there like armpit while you play by the end
1:09:32
of it It turns into like a disney
1:09:34
on ice where they're skating around playing the harmonica.
1:09:36
I mean they do have to be on
1:09:38
the ice at some point, right? Yes, I 100%,
1:09:41
then you need to get closer and closer
1:09:43
to the guys. Yeah, closer to the action.
1:09:45
Okay, we'll see what happens. I'll say, by
1:09:47
the way, I've been worried the whole series,
1:09:50
this is, and here's where we get in trouble. This
1:09:52
is the first day I've woken up for one
1:09:54
of these games. Actually, no, I felt
1:09:56
good about game two, but this is the
1:09:58
best I have felt. I don't like
1:10:00
that. because I don't have confidence in the image. I mean,
1:10:02
after the before the last game, you were saying that they
1:10:04
were going to lose. So. Oh,
1:10:06
yeah, I think I have had an appropriate read
1:10:08
on the series, I think. Well, that's nice of
1:10:10
you to say. But no, that's the last time
1:10:13
he said the others were going to lose and
1:10:15
they did not. So I think
1:10:17
we're going to lose that game was
1:10:19
still the right. Yes. Well, yeah,
1:10:21
I guess more of my point
1:10:23
is like you being comfortable might
1:10:25
not be a good sign because you
1:10:27
weren't comfortable last time. Yeah, but
1:10:29
I feel like his feelings towards the
1:10:32
Oilers have been valid. Yes, that
1:10:34
I agree with 100%. It's hard to
1:10:36
say that you were right or
1:10:38
wrong last time out. This series
1:10:40
is not for the right or the
1:10:42
wrong. NHL
1:10:45
draft lottery is on Monday, so
1:10:47
we will be doing a stream for
1:10:49
that. That's going to be very,
1:10:51
very big stuff. Boston Bruins have the
1:10:53
fifth best chances, getting the first
1:10:55
overall pick. NHL will probably rig it
1:10:57
because they're an original six team.
1:11:00
We're probably going to get some like,
1:11:02
let's hope. Hawks one, Bruins two,
1:11:04
Bruins two, Hawks one. Preds
1:11:06
one? I don't know,
1:11:08
but... sure that you are subscribed to
1:11:11
the YouTube because that's where you
1:11:13
get all of our overtime streams, all
1:11:15
of our videos that are not
1:11:17
on this show and also things like
1:11:19
the lottery stream. So be there
1:11:21
for that. I mean, I'm a little
1:11:23
nervous at this point that maybe
1:11:25
I have not been hurt to completion
1:11:27
yet. They've got one more
1:11:29
in them. Yeah, maybe one more swing
1:11:31
of the boot straight to my
1:11:33
nutsack during the draft lottery. We'll see
1:11:35
what happens, but like. I guess
1:11:37
if I hope that they finish with
1:11:39
the fifth pick, then I
1:11:41
probably won't be disappointed. I mean,
1:11:43
I feel like four or five,
1:11:45
you're still getting Hagan's. Mathematically speaking,
1:11:48
you're most likely to end up
1:11:50
where you're slotted, right? Correct. I
1:11:55
feel like if you're setting yourself up for
1:11:57
failure by hoping it's going to be anything
1:11:59
other than that. I hit the tankathon. Quite
1:12:01
a bit. You can get seven. I've hit
1:12:03
the Tankathon quite a bit this season. I'll
1:12:05
tell you what, the Bruins ended up in
1:12:07
the top three several times. That means a
1:12:10
chance. We did a bunch of Tankathons for
1:12:12
the Arizona Coyotes when they were in the
1:12:14
lottery and they won a bunch of times.
1:12:16
And famously, the Arizona Coyotes franchise has never
1:12:18
had the first overall pick, even though they
1:12:20
finished with them. I'm holding on hope for
1:12:22
them. They'll get it soon. One
1:12:24
of these days. Sean, hit me with
1:12:26
the slate, brother. Four
1:12:29
games tonight, following up yesterday's two
1:12:31
for 7pm Eastern on ESPN. You
1:12:33
can get the Maple Leafs trying
1:12:35
to put away the Senators at
1:12:37
home. They lead that series, three
1:12:39
games to one. This will be
1:12:41
game five. Also a game five
1:12:44
in Carolina, 7 .30pm Eastern, Devils
1:12:46
at Hurricanes, Carolina. Trying
1:12:48
to take this thing home, that'll be
1:12:50
on TBS. ESPN has Wild
1:12:53
at Golden Knights, game five.
1:12:55
This... a series. What a
1:12:57
series. That's at 9 30
1:12:59
p .m. And then at
1:13:01
10 Eastern in the United
1:13:03
States and Canada, Oilers at
1:13:05
Kings game five series tied
1:13:08
to two. It's on TBS.
1:13:10
The Koreatown Senior and Community
1:13:12
Center Harmonica class expected to
1:13:14
be there honking on the
1:13:16
bobo. And we see what happens.
1:13:19
We see who takes control of
1:13:21
this series going in. Let's see. Either
1:13:25
of the two two series
1:13:27
wild at Golden Knights Oilers
1:13:29
at Kings Will you think
1:13:31
either one is over after
1:13:33
tonight? I guess maybe
1:13:36
if the Golden Knights kick the
1:13:38
shit out of the wild But even
1:13:40
then like maybe not There is
1:13:42
no chance that I'm going to believe
1:13:44
that the LA Edmonton series is
1:13:46
over based off of what happens tonight
1:13:49
Just no way has there well
1:13:51
has there been a real game in
1:13:53
that series maybe game two, which
1:13:56
was just like a straight, like
1:13:58
one team was good. team was
1:14:00
bad. The game two is
1:14:02
the only game of that series that I
1:14:04
think was kind of like a somewhat
1:14:06
normal ish hockey game. So I agree with
1:14:08
you. Whatever happens tonight, I expect to
1:14:11
be empty calories and fake and brain rot.
1:14:13
So no, I will not base the
1:14:15
rest of the series based on whatever I
1:14:17
see tonight. I think that you're right.
1:14:19
If the golden nights smoke the wild, then
1:14:21
yeah, you feel that's kind of done,
1:14:23
but. Wild have been
1:14:26
what wild have definitely shown me
1:14:28
something definitely. These are four good
1:14:30
games I don't care about the
1:14:32
doubles and her games three good
1:14:34
games sends sends a this is
1:14:36
a big big step for the
1:14:39
sense tonight drag them back to
1:14:41
Ontario That's right get a win
1:14:43
bring them back to Ontario. Well,
1:14:45
they know they bring it back
1:14:47
to the Ontario the TNT doesn't
1:14:49
go to Yeah, fair because they
1:14:52
do go to this Ontario It's
1:14:54
just that on that Ottawa the
1:14:56
capital of Ontario, capital of Canada.
1:14:58
Capital of Canada's Ottawa. Yes.
1:15:01
Is a small Canadian city, I
1:15:03
believe, is the way or
1:15:05
a small Canadian. Yeah, the way
1:15:07
they put it. Would the
1:15:09
people of Edmonton be offended that
1:15:11
they're considered a small Canadian
1:15:13
market based off of TNT's explanation?
1:15:16
If you are offended, you
1:15:18
are wrong. Yeah, mean,
1:15:21
I was like, I was
1:15:23
looking at interestingly a lot
1:15:25
of maps of Canada yesterday
1:15:27
election maps and they would
1:15:29
they Block out like the
1:15:31
the big areas and it's
1:15:33
just Montreal Toronto and Vancouver.
1:15:35
But like if you're talking
1:15:37
about a like a market
1:15:39
like an NHL market Edmonton
1:15:41
is not small I Mean
1:15:43
I mean my market Market
1:15:46
standards it is. Yeah, like they
1:15:48
sell out the stadium when you say
1:15:50
market You're thinking of like TV
1:15:52
and all that shit like it is
1:15:54
small, but it is it is
1:15:56
It is a good hockey. It's passionate
1:15:58
and it's loyal, but it is
1:16:00
it is Small by all like measurable.
1:16:04
I don't the exception of looks like I guess
1:16:06
the exception of like yeah, they sell tickets And
1:16:08
I think that's the most important part, but they
1:16:10
don't have they're not gonna get big TV deals Okay,
1:16:13
this slate is an A because
1:16:15
it is the postseason. Are any
1:16:17
series wrapped up tonight? Does Carolina
1:16:19
end it? Yeah, I think Carolina
1:16:21
ends it. I think I think
1:16:23
Toronto ends it. No, I don't
1:16:25
see this being the series that
1:16:27
gives them trouble. I think be
1:16:29
wrong. Toronto ends it. I don't
1:16:31
think Carolina does. I think we
1:16:33
get a little bit of an
1:16:35
asshole game from playoff P playoff
1:16:37
Piotr tonight. What? Oh,
1:16:39
wait, this is great. What
1:16:41
if he's Awesome. Is
1:16:44
there anything Piotr Chekov can do
1:16:46
that makes you say got to
1:16:48
stick with him in the second
1:16:50
round, go with him against Montreal
1:16:52
or Washington 40 safe shot out.
1:16:54
I mean, no, because like if
1:16:56
he's awesome tonight, then that's a
1:16:58
a one game sample against a
1:17:01
depleted New Jersey Devils. Yeah. How
1:17:03
much confidence are you really like?
1:17:05
How much is your confidence really
1:17:07
being shifted by that one game?
1:17:09
Yeah. Freddie Anderson's availability, though. You
1:17:11
could be seeing plenty of peoder,
1:17:13
which we should all be hoping
1:17:16
for. I was I ate
1:17:18
one dollar to win a hundred
1:17:20
and one on Peter Koshakov consmyth odds.
1:17:22
Yeah, I did not yet. But
1:17:24
somebody I tweeted when I said when
1:17:26
Peter allowed the game, I tweeted
1:17:28
playoff P and somebody said consmyth journey
1:17:30
starts now and I looked it
1:17:32
up and it is you get pretty
1:17:35
good odds. It's only I mean,
1:17:37
a hundred to one is it's not
1:17:39
as. Juicy as I would expect
1:17:41
I just I don't think they are
1:17:43
they want to run the risk

doesn't know geography. Edmonton
1:19:09
is larger than Boston, but the Boston
1:19:11

geographical size of the town. But

1:19:32

1:19:34

1:19:36

1:19:39
is quite quite small, but all right with that
