Under Biden, Americans' costs of

0:02

living skyrocketed, food, housing, auto

0:04

insurance. Lawsuit abuse is a

0:06

big reason everything's more expensive

0:08

today. Fivalous lawsuits cost working

0:10

Americans over $4,000 a year

0:12

in hidden taxes. President Trump

0:14

understands the problem. That's why

0:16

he supports loser pays legislation

0:18

to stop lawsuit abuse and

0:20

put thousands back in the

0:22

pockets of hardworking Americans. It's

0:24

time to make America affordable

0:26

again. It's time to support

0:28

the President's plan. Hey,

0:50

you crazy what-nuts! It is

0:52

Wednesday, March 26th in the

0:54

United States and Canada. And

0:56

this is a show called

0:58

What Chaos Presented by Prize

1:00

Picks. That'll all the Prize

1:02

Picks after day. And you

1:04

just go what Chaos? Get

1:06

$50 instantly when you play

1:08

$5. Prize Picks. Well, in

1:10

your game, I sit beside

1:12

Pete Blackburn because my name

1:14

is David Bean and over

1:17

across the room. Good job!

1:19

doing the show yesterday. Thank

1:21

you. It was fun. Oil Man rankings

1:23

on the show. Sean DePaz, number

1:25

one now. Yeah. Yes, famously.

1:27

Oil Man. I kind of didn't really

1:30

have any nice things to say

1:32

about the Oilers in particular. I

1:34

said that we won the Matthews

1:36

of Roy McCloud trade and that

1:39

I want nothing to do with

1:41

Evan Bouchard. Those were my two

1:43

main oilers takes. In fairness, what

1:46

was presented to you was would

1:48

you trade Evan Bouchard, would you

1:50

trade, I believe it was Erasmus

1:52

Stalline, Evan Bouchard and a first

1:55

round effect. Yes. And you leaned,

1:57

you thought about it and you

1:59

just. you know, kind of. I was on

2:01

the sense. You looked up, you looked up

2:03

like rasmus doline cap hit and you then.

2:06

When I, when I weighed all the

2:08

numbers and extenuating circumstances, I

2:10

leaned no. Yeah, I, you

2:12

texted us on the group text and

2:14

you were like, Evan Bouchard greater

2:16

than rasmus doline, question mark, working

2:19

on something. And we were like, huh,

2:21

then Pete and I got on a

2:23

side text. We were like, never really

2:25

thought about about this before. Hadn't

2:28

considered it, but now it's all I can

2:30

think about. This morning, the good

2:32

old New York Times sent out

2:34

a tweet about your buffalo sabers

2:36

that was basically like, they're a

2:38

social experiment to get their fans

2:40

to kill themselves. Yeah, I mean,

2:42

I texted you guys last night,

2:44

sabers fans are completely fucking brainbroken,

2:46

cheering for Dylan Cousins, and

2:49

then booing, uh, Matilla Samelson.

2:51

for like, like I said, I don't

2:53

have a problem with game. Yeah, I

2:55

don't have a problem with either of

2:58

those things in a vacuum, but you

3:00

cannot do both of them in the

3:02

same night. I am really getting into

3:04

the broadcasts and the fan behavior and

3:06

now coach behavior of technically

3:09

not eliminated, but like not going

3:11

anywhere teams. This is where we're

3:13

starting to have fun. This is

3:15

where I feel like we're going

3:17

to see some Benaf quack appearances.

3:19

You're getting fun stuff out of

3:22

torts. You got Mohawks going on

3:24

on the Sabres bride. Hey Braun,

3:26

wearing an electric green and blue

3:28

Mohawk. Like what else is he

3:30

going to do? We've like officially

3:32

hit teams sucking themselves off part

3:35

of the season. To be fair, as far

3:37

as the hair thing goes, it is

3:39

a yearly tradition. Act like you've

3:41

been there before. Yeah, it was

3:43

for charity. It was bald for

3:45

bucks. They shave their hair for charity.

3:47

So it is that they would do

3:49

regardless. But it does have a different

3:51

energy when you are playing for nothing.

3:53

DJ jumped out of here to get

3:55

coffee. So all let's do, hey Pete,

3:57

tell us today on the show today.

3:59

on the show, Ovi at 889.

4:01

That boy scored last night. What

4:04

chaos bump? Some are saying, we

4:06

have a C clarification, thank you

4:08

David. This is like an Ashton

4:10

Hall video where like his, like

4:12

slave woman that he employs, does

4:14

everything for him. I'm gonna note

4:16

by the way, we grab asked

4:18

too much, Ovi at 889. That's

4:20

the Ovid 889 talk for the

4:22

day. We have too much stuff

4:24

coming up on the show, so

4:26

if you missed it, Alexander Ovechkin

4:28

is now five away. Will he

4:30

get there? Not discussing today, Pete.

4:32

See clarification that is obviously about

4:34

Nikita Zadorov, clarifying his comments about

4:36

Jeremy Swaman and once again reinforcing

4:38

his place in line. First in

4:40

line to be the next captain

4:42

of the Boston Bruins. Go so

4:45

whether or not he has a

4:47

sea, he is the people's captain.

4:49

The people's captain. The spiritual captain

4:51

of the Boston Bruins. He is

4:53

our, he's your Alex talk. It

4:55

doesn't matter who's wearing the sea,

4:57

he's the captain. Oh man, if

4:59

we sit down with Zadorov ahead

5:01

of next season, we should have

5:03

been from sports dishes, just give

5:05

us a sea. We present him

5:07

with the sea. Where do you

5:09

think about that? We're gonna slide

5:11

an envelope across the table and

5:13

it's just a captain's patch. Oh

5:15

my god, that would be so

5:17

uncomfortable for the Bruins if we

5:19

did like sit down with the

5:21

Zadorov and we presented him with

5:23

a captain C's sweater and he

5:26

was like, really? Oh no, no,

5:28

no, just for us. We could

5:30

actually like, fuck up the Bruins

5:32

season by doing that. Because that

5:34

would be to save it. No

5:36

matter what his reaction was. That

5:38

would be four hours three days

5:40

in a row one, Felger and

5:42

Maz. 100% of whatever his reaction

5:44

was, they would decide was not

5:46

how you're supposed to do it.

5:48

And now they're stuck with this

5:50

guy. What does it say about

5:52

the Swayman contract, etc., etc. The

5:54

Bruins have been really good to

5:56

us. I really like this idea

5:58

for a team that has been

6:00

like extremely difficult to us. Like

6:02

if the New York range is

6:04

like final, like fine. Rangers. Fine.

6:07

We will let you sit down

6:09

with one of our players. We

6:11

present to them the next captains.

6:13

Matt around Biers gets the C.

6:15

Matt around Bies the C. Rangers

6:17

Twitter goes crazy. Just go rogue

6:19

and present the next captain of

6:21

the Rangers. I love that idea.

6:23

We're gonna do cup predictions and

6:25

not necessarily predictions, but maybe predictions

6:27

more like assessing the current Stanley

6:29

Cup favorites. Yes. And we're gonna

6:31

do that with Steve Peters. He's

6:33

gonna join the show. It's a

6:35

PD episode. We all love those.

6:37

Breaking news from Bob Stoffer. Oh

6:39

boy. Yeah, Minton Oilers, Leon Dry

6:41

Settles on the guys for Morning

6:43

Skate today. Yeah, non-contact Jersey, contact

6:45

Jersey? No, no information. All right,

6:47

I love this. Well, and finally,

6:50

David's not on the ice, then

6:52

he's not hugging anybody, so there

6:54

doesn't need to be a contact

6:56

or not. He's not making contact.

6:58

And finally, John Tortorella is fed

7:00

up and over it once again.

7:02

So I can't over it. Ovi

7:04

at 889, love that. We've got

7:06

P.D. coming up. Nikita Zadorov clarified

7:08

his comments on Jeremy Swaman. And

7:10

Sunday night, of course, Jeremy Swaman

7:12

tried to fight Darcy Kemper, got

7:14

broken up by the officials. After

7:16

the game, the great Flutoshanzawa, who

7:18

is the opposite of a shitster,

7:20

asked him if he liked that

7:22

Swaman was standing up for Marathus

7:24

Nadinov, whose bump into Kemper had

7:26

begun this whole melee and... Zodorov

7:28

was very weird about it and

7:31

said, is that what he was

7:33

doing? And Flutov said, sort of

7:35

looked like. And he was like,

7:37

oh, well, I don't know about

7:39

that. No comment. And then we

7:41

had a show about that. Yesterday,

7:43

Nikita Zadorov clarified his comments, including

7:45

an exchange with the initial questioner,

7:47

Flutoshanzawa. Here it is. You're going

7:49

to ask me about swings comment?

7:51

You blew it up? What do

7:53

you want to say? When you

7:55

ask the question like this after

7:57

7-2 laws, the players are frustrated.

7:59

So obviously at the time I

8:01

was frustrated and wherever I said

8:03

it wasn't towards this way, it

8:05

was just like I didn't expect

8:07

that question from you. And sometimes

8:09

like you got to understand the

8:12

situation re-art and everything, you pissed

8:14

off to the game. So I

8:16

was just basically saying, try to

8:18

stay away from, find positives, there

8:20

was a lot of negatives in

8:22

our game and I want to

8:24

keep that way. You know, obviously.

8:26

We appreciate in this room guys

8:28

stepping in for the charter and

8:30

that's a culture that was here

8:32

before I came here and I'm

8:34

trying to follow it as the

8:36

guy who steps in for teammates

8:38

we got locks we got half

8:40

we got everybody you know sway

8:42

we need to do everybody in

8:44

anybody in this room until I'm

8:46

here it's gonna step up for

8:48

us that's the main part for

8:50

us so I think it wasn't

8:53

even thinking like Coming

8:55

towards way or anything like this.

8:57

So it was just a took

8:59

out of the contest. Obviously, he's

9:01

a huge part of our team

9:03

He signed for next eight years

9:05

and here I'm here for five

9:07

years next next five years So

9:10

we're gonna be together for a

9:12

long time and gonna be a

9:14

lot of success with this team

9:16

and back in a playoff hockey

9:18

and hopefully win the cup in

9:20

here. So I think that's that's

9:23

where we're gonna leave Out of

9:25

context, we got, was not expecting

9:27

the question, you got to know

9:29

not to ask a question at

9:31

a time like that. On the

9:33

Fluto blew it up watch. Recent

9:35

tweets from Fluto Shinzawa. Since the

9:38

game, actually, I think that Zadora

9:40

was on to something. 19 hours

9:42

ago, Fluto Shinzawa tweeted, in parentheses,

9:44

non-contact. is practicing. Prior to that,

9:46

the blowing up is the link

9:48

to his story, his post game

9:50

story, which is Jeremy Swammon asked

9:53

Darcy Kemper to fight. Neither Nikita

9:55

Zadorov nor Joe Sacco endorsed Swaman's

9:57

invitation. I gotta say, Fluto has

9:59

always struck me as a real

10:01

asshole. Why would Fluto do this?

10:03

What does it say about Nathan

10:06

McKinnon's heart cannon? I see. All

10:08

these questions. I laughed out loud

10:10

at the Fluto blew it up

10:12

angle. I mean, Tokyo Sexwell has

10:14

the best reaction, which is... I'm

10:16

even more confused now than I

10:18

was before. I think that's, I

10:21

generally like agree with that. I

10:23

also, like, part of me understands

10:25

what Zadora was getting at. Don't

10:27

know if I want my next

10:29

captain to be saying, I don't

10:31

want to look for the positives.

10:33

Don't want to look for the

10:36

positives. It's only focused on the

10:38

negative, 7-2 loss. But I get

10:40

what he's saying, get the frustration

10:42

of it all. Have you ever

10:44

seen the movie, everybody wants him?

10:46

Of course. Richard Link later. The

10:49

whole, the whole energy behind that

10:51

thing behind that thing was like

10:53

Glenn Powell's character. Oh, I never

10:55

think. I just talk a lot.

10:57

Oh, a little Michael Scott action.

10:59

Yeah. Myself at times. I was

11:01

most proud during that. I saw

11:04

Sean endorse Fluto for an ex-captain

11:06

for a second when at the

11:08

beginning, I was watching you to

11:10

see how you would read it

11:12

because I was like, I think

11:14

that Sean's gonna like how Fluto

11:17

goes about this. Zadorov says, you

11:19

gonna ask about Sway. You blew

11:21

it up. What else you want

11:23

to say? Like, I'm not like,

11:25

you know, I'm not here to

11:27

to fucking wrestle with you or

11:29

whatever. Like, you just brought up

11:32

swimming. Seems like you want to

11:34

say something. Just go, buddy. He's

11:36

the best. Fluto is. If you're

11:38

picking a flight, fight with Fluto.

11:40

I mean, granted, I'm not captain

11:42

material. So what do I know?

11:44

But wild stuff. I don't hold

11:47

any like weird lingering feelings about

11:49

anybody in this situation. Like I

11:51

thought it was weird that Zadorov

11:53

said that and it was a

11:55

little bit concerning. But if like

11:57

his explanation is that he was

12:00

frustrated and just like mad after

12:02

a seven-two loss, fine. American's cost

12:04

of living skyrocketed, food, housing, auto

12:06

insurance. Lawsuit abuse is a big

12:08

reason everything's more expensive today. Fivalous

12:10

lawsuits cost working Americans over $4,000

12:12

a year in hidden taxes. President

12:15

Trump understands the problem. That's why

12:17

he supports loser pays legislation to

12:19

stop lawsuit abuse and put thousands

12:21

back in the pockets of hard-working

12:23

Americans. It's time to make America

12:25

affordable again. It's time to support

12:27

the president's plan. Yeah,

12:30

the other big story that came

12:32

from last night is that the

12:34

blues smoked the habs And you

12:36

wonder are they now going to

12:38

run away with the second wild

12:40

card? They are 13 to and

12:42

2 since four nations break 7

12:44

wins in a row Dylan Holloway.

12:46

I feel like people are just

12:48

realizing is awesome Granted we didn't

12:50

know that Dylan Holloway was awesome

12:53

until points until earlier this season

12:55

who arrived to it first we

12:57

what's that we arrived to it

12:59

first? Yeah, exactly we did we

13:01

make him awesome Bower client had

13:03

him on with us at where

13:05

we have him on, winter classic,

13:07

winter classic and he's the best

13:09

and he's been amazing a lot

13:11

of my timeline is stuff about

13:13

about Ken Holland should be in

13:15

jail, etc, etc. etc. But are

13:17

we asking about the wrong team

13:19

when it comes to wild card

13:21

placement because we've talked about the

13:23

blues, the, I'm sorry, the blues,

13:25

the flames, and the conux jockeying

13:27

for that last wild card spot.

13:29

I saw Greg Washinsky tweet something,

13:31

I forget what it was, and

13:33

a conux fan responded to him

13:35

asking if we're focusing on the

13:38

wrong team when it comes to

13:40

those non playoff teams getting in.

13:42

This conux fan, our pan, tweeted.

13:44

Keep saying the most realistic pathway

13:46

for the Canucks slash Flames to

13:48

make the playoffs is Minnesota. Look

13:50

at the wild schedule in the

13:52

last 10. They are more likely

13:54

to fall. Now off of that

13:56

I crunch some numbers. The wild

13:58

have 85 points, which is six

14:00

ahead of the Flames, seven ahead

14:02

of the Canucks. When you factor

14:04

in-game... played and everything, the Wild

14:06

are on pace for 97 points.

14:08

The Flames are on pace for

14:10

92 points and the Canucks are

14:12

on pace for 89 points. However,

14:14

and stick with me here, Wilder

14:16

the first Wild Card team, Blues

14:18

right now are nestled in that

14:21

second spot, so we're talking about

14:23

the 9th and 10th teams catching

14:25

the 7th team essentially. Although Vancouver

14:27

and Calgary have tougher remaining strengths

14:29

of schedules, here is... the upcoming

14:31

and remaining schedule for the Minnesota

14:33

Wild. You have the Washington football

14:35

team, president's trophy winner, best team

14:37

in the league, right? After that,

14:39

back to back against the Devils,

14:41

implications in those games. After that,

14:43

on the road against the Rangers,

14:45

technically maybe kind of implications for

14:47

that one. Rangers? Yeah, no, the

14:49

Rangers fucking suck. Okay, I did

14:51

a total of one implication between

14:53

the two New York teams because

14:55

realistically the Rangers and the Islanders

14:57

are not going to make it,

14:59

but they'll both be trying in

15:01

those games. So I just did

15:03

a total of one. Then you

15:06

have the Dallas divisional game, maybe

15:08

the Wilder saying we're no wild

15:10

card team. We're gonna get in

15:12

the top three implications there against

15:14

the sharks. Then the debut of

15:16

replacing Dennis, Dennis Reynolds. Is, do

15:18

you see who that is? Can

15:20

you tell? It's Bobby Orr. That's

15:22

Bobby Orr. You know why? Yeah,

15:24

because it's a four point game.

15:26

It's a four point game. They

15:28

got back to back four point

15:30

games at Calgary, at Vancouver. And

15:32

they wrap it up against the

15:34

ducks who are very disruptive. for

15:36

some wild watching down the stretch.

15:38

Yeah no I think that's fair

15:40

and I think it's it's fair

15:42

to like point a spotlight towards

15:44

them and say listen this is

15:46

not guaranteed whatsoever but I also

15:48

think it's a little bit and

15:51

the strength of schedule is is

15:53

tough but I think that when

15:55

you consider the wild they play

15:57

good teams pretty close. Yes, that

15:59

is kind of their thing. Yeah,

16:01

they play good teams pretty close.

16:03

And when I look at who's

16:05

behind them, specifically when you're talking

16:07

about Calgary or Vancouver, the wilder

16:09

better than those teams, especially if

16:11

they have Caprizov and you know,

16:13

obviously we don't know like what

16:15

the hell situation of the wild's

16:17

gonna be down the stretch. But

16:19

like, Calgary doesn't belong there. Dustin

16:21

Wolf is the entire reason that

16:23

they're in that conversation. Vancouver. like

16:25

if they can put it together

16:27

and be a good team consistently

16:29

then absolutely like i'd put them

16:31

maybe above the wild that right

16:34

next the wild but they haven't

16:36

proven to be that team all

16:38

year long so like i'm not

16:40

saying the wild or the team

16:42

that's gonna fall out but include

16:44

them in the mix of teams

16:46

that are like on the bubble

16:48

right now don't guarantee their spot

16:50

Yes, the Flames are now giving

16:52

out Erasmus Anderson stared at me

16:54

shirts, which is very exciting. If

16:56

you know, when Erasmus Anderson scores,

16:58

he tries to find an opposing

17:00

fan, stare him down. Now the

17:02

Flames are just getting in on

17:04

it, and presenting the fans, and

17:06

presenting the fans, you see a

17:08

Cracken fan, stare them down. Now

17:10

the Flames are just getting in

17:12

on it, and presenting in a

17:14

Road game on Saturday. Be wild

17:16

if they brought a Road Get

17:19

Up, if they brought the Flames

17:21

game on Saturday. Yeah,

17:23

that's true, but it's a Battle of Alberta

17:25

like you there's gonna be some Flames fans

17:27

that show up and so who's to say?

17:29

Do we bring a Flames jersey? Just to

17:32

say, oh no, that we wouldn't get a

17:34

shirt. We would get a shirt if we

17:36

were sitting on the glass. So I think

17:38

we're sitting on the glass nation's gonna take

17:40

care of us. Okay. I think watch I

17:43

like the behavior though. Yes. Watch Saturday or

17:45

18:55

hang out with us. A lot of chat

18:58

in the, a lot of talk in the

19:00

chat about Harvey the Hound and what a

19:02

crazy mascot he is for the Flames. Talking

19:04

about the the Oilers connection. Harvey the Hound's

19:07

most famous moment is when Craig McTavish ripped

19:09

out Harvey the Hound? Oh yeah, you've never

19:11

seen that clip? It's unbelievable. Probably in maybe

19:13

what year did he do? He's like, he

19:15

was leaning over the bench. It was like,

19:18

it was in like, it was a long

19:20

time ago, decades ago. Oh, I was like,

19:22

oh. Harvey the Hound was leaning over the

19:24

glass, like, over the bench, and Mc Tavis

19:26

just ripped the tongue out of his mouth.

19:29

It was unbelievable. Amazing. We're gonna get to

21:26

Something very interesting in the chat that's currently

21:28

occurring is people who have teams who are

21:30

out of it are trying to figure out

21:32

who should I root for in the playoffs

21:35

and I'm seeing suggestions being thrown out and

21:37

someone said, Alex said, well for me it

21:39

has to be a what chaos team though.

21:41

I would say that the decision has been

21:43

made in that case. because there's only one

21:46

that will be in the playoffs. Unless you're

21:48

talking about... Broanskin around the table. Are they

21:50

back? We'll have PD in a second. Unless

21:52

you're talking about like a darling team in

21:54

which I would say the capitals qualify. The

21:57

capitals are a darling team. We were in

21:59

on that. Darling team if you win the

22:01

presence trophy? Yeah, it's true. Like we don't

22:03

own them anymore. Yeah, like I don't even

22:05

know if we ever did. But it's funny

22:08

you should ask who you should root for

22:10

in the playoffs because that is exactly what

22:12

we are going to discuss right now with

22:14

the great Steve Peters. You know him from

22:16

his appearances across all all city things. You

22:19

also know him from his time with the

22:21

Arizona Coyotes, but I know him right now

22:23

from both friendship and inside the coaches room.

22:25

The best YouTube channel out there, subscribe folks.

22:28

Yeah, all eight of you that are watching

22:30

it is the best and ratings matter on

22:32

that, but we'll get into that another time

22:34

Who are you rooting for? I don't know

22:36

who we're room for it's it's it's it's

22:39

it's it literally is too chaotic There is

22:41

a there is a clarification that was made

22:43

in the chat. They said it needs to

22:45

be a W C team Oh, Western conference

22:47

not what chaos that that clears that I

22:50

got to say Petey you're looking awfully tan

22:52

these days. Hey buddy it was a hundred

22:54

degrees yesterday hundred degrees again here in the

22:56

desert again today summer is upon us and

22:58

it's very toasty warm here in Arizona. Our

23:01

coffee machine is our coffee machine is just

23:03

dumping water. Bouting water everywhere. I have no

23:05

idea what's going on. Oh my god. A

23:07

bunch of stuff is flooded. This episode is

23:10

going on the floor that Sean you can

23:12

move near it. Um, damn. The electrical. stuff

23:14

on the floor isn't there? I mean I'm

23:16

not familiar. Yeah we do have all that's

23:18

on the floor. So Sean tend to that,

23:21

take your time, be good, appreciate you, love

23:23

you. Okay their PD are four teams with

23:25

odds of winning the Stanley Cup according to

23:27

Vegas and we don't do huge Vegas gambling

23:29

numbers so I'll just say there's two teams

23:32

or I'm sorry there's four teams with odds

23:34

better than plus a thousand to win the

23:36

Stanley Cup in order by favorite. the Florida

23:38

Panthers, the Dallas Stars, the Colorado Avalanche, and

23:40

the Edmonton Oilers. I'm sure at some point

23:43

we will discuss the Oilers, but we can

23:45

go light on them. Who is that team

23:47

for you that you would say, yeah, I

23:49

can really see it? It's funny because the

23:51

one team you mentioned right before we went

23:54

on the air is the Washington Capitals not

23:56

included. potentially president's trophy winner we're not talking

23:58

about him and the Vegas Goldenites so one

24:00

of the top teams in the east and

24:03

top teams in the west and we're not

24:05

talking about him to win the cup I'm

24:07

sure we will later of those three teams

24:09

it's Colorado avalanche for wait what is happening

24:11

right now and I think that's important that

24:14

you take what's happening right now the Dallas

24:16

Stars when you look at what's happening with

24:18

Ranton like all the drama and chaos around

24:20

with Renton and he's got what he's got

24:22

eight points No, five points and eight games.

24:25

Five points and eight games and all I

24:27

keep hearing is, oh, he's got to get

24:29

used to it, he's got to use to

24:31

Dallas, oh, it's the weather, it's the team,

24:33

it's, he's Michael Renton, buddy, you don't take,

24:36

Brock Nelson's almost a point of game player,

24:38

like, Brock Nelson, we like, Brock Nelson, we

24:40

like him, but, Michael Renton, it's got to

24:42

do better for the Dallas Stars right now,

24:45

he's the guy that they thought, would give

24:47

him, give him, and will, and will, and

24:49

will, and will, they're six, and two, they're

24:51

six, and two, and two, and two, and

24:53

two, and two, and two, and two, six,

24:56

and two, and two, and, and, and, and,

24:58

and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

25:00

and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

25:02

and, and, and, I guess not very good.

25:04

Like they're really struggling. The Dallas Stars are

25:07

not the Dallas Stars. We thought they were

25:09

going to be. Sagan, yeah, Sagan will definitely

25:11

give him a boost, but it's not the

25:13

end of the year. High Skin is going

25:15

to miss the first round. So I don't

25:18

think they can defend as well. It's the

25:20

Colorado avalanche. Yeah. And we talked to, yeah,

25:22

I'm sorry, I get so excited when I

25:24

talk hockey. No, no, I mean, this segment

25:26

is born out of, for like the last

25:29

week or so, I've been like, we just

25:31

needed on record, we need to have a,

25:33

you should think the Colorado avalanche are going

25:35

to win the Cup conversation. And again, I'm

25:38

curbing it and doing the Cup conversation. And

25:40

again, I'm curbing it and doing the like,

25:42

teams I root in, the like, teams I

25:44

root for, for, like, teams I root for,

25:46

excluded doing it all. But. Other teams, Colorado

25:49

Avalanche. I love the avalanche. I love the

25:51

way they're playing. I love the way they're

25:53

built right now. You can have questions on

25:55

defense, but they are so strong down the

25:57

middle. And that's even with, and I saw

26:00

Frank echo something that Pete said when they

26:02

made the Brock Nelson trade, which is we

26:04

are seeing the Martineerat for Philip Forsberg deal

26:06

in real time, if they go on and

26:08

they win the cup with Brock Nelson, don't

26:11

matter. And I think that I really think

26:13

they can. You mentioned the stars. and Hayskin

26:15

and being out in the first round, that's

26:17

so huge for Colorado because a team that

26:20

I feel can win the cup is a

26:22

team that can absolutely be eliminated in the

26:24

first round by Dallas because I'm always afraid

26:26

of Dallas. However, I think they get through

26:28

that. I'm a believer in the Colorado Avalanche

26:31

big time. I wanted to ask you mention

26:33

the Washington Capitals not included in there. Also

26:35

not included in there is the Winnipeg Jets.

26:37

So the two best and most consistent teams

26:39

in the standings all year long not included

26:42

in the top four cup favorites. What does

26:44

that say about those two teams? Well, I

26:46

think for Washington, it's just it was almost

26:48

too new like this is a team that

26:50

struggled to get into the playoffs a year

26:53

ago And you see what they're doing right

26:55

now is they're they're getting Scoring throughout their

26:57

lineup, you know, you got protest Mac Michael

26:59

Wilson, you got you got five guys with

27:01

20 plus goals for the Washington You've got

27:04

Michael Wilson, you got you got five guys

27:06

with 20 plus goals for the Washington. right

27:08

now than they are in the Eastern Conference.

27:10

And I think what we're gonna see over

27:13

the next eight games, they're gonna continue to

27:15

win one of the problems with Washington. And

27:17

this sounds counterintuitive, but they're trying to get

27:19

Ovechkin the record. And you watched the Washington

27:21

Capitals when Alex Andrew Ovechkin is on the

27:24

ice and everybody. And I mean, every player

27:26

on the ice is looking for number eight.

27:28

there's nobody trying to get pucks to the

27:30

net there's nobody trying to make any other

27:32

play then get the puck to a vechkin

27:35

now i get it we're all excited about

27:37

the race but you gotta win the games

27:39

and so i think one it's gonna be

27:41

interesting to see as he gets closer because

27:43

it's right now it's projected he's gonna do

27:46

it's projected he's gonna do it's gonna do

27:48

it's projected he's gonna do it in the

27:50

last game of the year like he cooled

27:52

on that It's we forget they're in the

27:54

league because they're in Winnipeg. Like they don't

27:57

get any national TV love, we never see

27:59

this team play. And then when standings get

28:01

done at the end of the season, you

28:03

go, oh my gosh, they're kind of pretty

28:06

good. Again, they have balance scoring. I just

28:08

don't know if they've got the star power,

28:10

the guys, they're kind of pretty good. Again,

28:12

they have balance scoring. I just don't know

28:14

if they've got the star power, the star

28:17

power, the guys, the guys, I think could

28:19

put up. and pull the rope. I'm not

28:21

sure when he's got that guy. There are

28:23

guys in the back of the net and

28:25

that's that's hellabuck. He's going to have to

28:28

be the best player for the Jets to

28:30

get them over. Do you see him doing

28:32

that? Because I go back and forth and

28:34

I've wanted to discuss this on the show

28:36

like who do you think makes a deeper

28:39

run or who do you have more confidence

28:41

in from the two top teams in each

28:43

conference to win the cup? And I changed

28:45

my answer every fucking five minutes. They have

28:48

more depth and Winnipeg relies on like too

28:50

few guys to score for them. Like they

28:52

get a lot of goals from those guys,

28:54

but when it comes to playoff hockey and

28:56

you're getting them, you're getting matched up against

28:59

best on best like in terms of the

29:01

best teams running. out there shutdown guys, you're

29:03

gonna have to diversify your lineup over the

29:05

course of a deep run. I feel like

29:07

Washington has a better chance of doing that.

29:10

But on the other end, like to your

29:12

point, if you're considering goal tending, like that

29:14

carries Winnipeg further. And not just that their

29:16

goal tender is better than everybody's goal tender,

29:18

but Logan Thompson is on my list of

29:21

guys who could be bad in the playoffs.

29:23

And a lot of players that we love

29:25

are on that list as well, but. If

29:27

we end up talking about the capitals, why

29:29

did they miss the player or why did

29:32

they get eliminated? I don't think it's going

29:34

to be a they weren't ready for the

29:36

moment in this place in their development and

29:38

where they're building because as we talked about

29:41

with Butchy, like they've got guys who have

29:43

been there before, Ovechegan, they got Tom Wilson,

29:45

John Carlson, people who have been there. I

29:47

think that what we could talk about with

29:49

them if they miss the playoffs is like,

29:52

The goal tending wasn't very good, even though

29:54

Logan Thompson's been awesome this season. Yeah, and

29:56

you look at their matchups too. They're most

29:58

likely going to play that last wild card

30:00

and who is that going to be? I

30:03

know it's Montreal and New York, I don't

30:05

know, but I think that's a match up

30:07

that's favorable to Washington. And then even in

30:09

the second round, it's Carolina, New Jersey in

30:11

the second round. Again, it's not, they're good

30:14

teams, but I still think Washington has the

30:16

easier path to the easier path to the

30:18

Western finals. The Atlantic is a Western finals.

30:20

The Atlantic is a gauntlet. The Atlantic is

30:23

a gauntlet. Like I don't care, you've got

30:25

to win the Atlantic, you have to win

30:27

the Atlantic, so everybody's fighting. We're within two

30:29

points, you've got to win. Like Florida's a,

30:31

Florida could end up going on the road

30:34

to Tampa in the first round. And we

30:36

talk about Florida winning the cup, Martian might

30:38

not touch Ace for another couple weeks, but

30:40

we know Kuchk's not playing until playoff start,

30:42

and Kula Cove maybe at the end of

30:45

the season, they're never going to play together.

30:47

They won't play together till game three of

30:49

the first round of the playoffs. That's a

30:51

tough task. You look at Bob Rofs, he's

30:53

going to have to carry that team. And

30:56

I know they've got really good players on

30:58

their Stanley Cup champion, but you're going to

31:00

throw a team together on the third game

31:02

of the playoffs that's never played together before

31:04

and expect instant chemistry. Brad Marcian, Matthew Chuck,

31:07

they're going to be great. Really? That's part

31:09

of my answer though. Like they're gonna be

31:11

fucking awesome brother. No, but like that's the

31:13

part about Florida that confuses me a little

31:16

bit. Like yeah, they have the pedigree, they

31:18

have all the things that you look for,

31:20

but there's so much uncertainty attached to the

31:22

Panthers right now. You don't know what Kachs

31:24

gonna be like, you don't know what Martian's

31:27

gonna be like, you don't know what the

31:29

chemistry is gonna be like once you get

31:31

all of them together. Very very rollercoastery. So

31:33

I feel like maybe it's just like the

31:35

market That placing faith in the Panthers based

31:38

off of the post the past two post

31:40

seasons But I'm surprised that they're they're in

31:42

that top four I am too. I am

31:44

too. Because it shapes up if Toronto plays

31:46

Ottawa in the first round, that first round

31:49

is going to be phenomenal because then it's

31:51

Tampa and Florida. I like the way Tampa

31:53

Bay is playing right now and Vaskelovsky is

31:55

back on track, Kucharov's on fire, their power

31:58

plays, elite, Gensel's been phenomenal, a top two

32:00

power play scorer in the league. We're talking

32:02

about Florida winning the cup, they might not

32:04

make it through the first round. And so

32:06

I think that this is going to be

32:09

an incredible first round matchups there and then

32:11

in the West. The Dallas and Colorado facing

32:13

off to start it off two teams that

32:15

could win the Stanley Cup have to face

32:17

off in the first week. It's horrific that

32:20

that matchups right away. And again, we go

32:22

back to Colorado and what they have done

32:24

of late. You put up the numbers and

32:26

I like numbers since their last 13 games.

32:28

They got four plus goals 10 times. They've

32:31

given up two or less in nine of

32:33

those 13. Smoke in teams. The offense is

32:35

there, the defense of their goal tenders. Blackwood,

32:37

20 wins in 30 starts, 2.2 GA and

32:39

a 9-1-7 since he's been in Colorado and

32:42

Wedgwood's been better. 10-14-202-19. Their goal-10 is the

32:44

best it's the best it's ever. Their goal

32:46

tending is the best it's ever been in

32:48

Colorado, 2-0-2 and 9-18. Their goal tending is

32:51

the best it's great. I know they need

32:53

to get Manson back. I know they need

32:55

to get Manson back. from front to back.

32:57

They're faster with natures than they were. Sorry,

32:59

Michael Renton. They're faster with natures. They're better

33:02

on the power play. And this team can

33:04

blow teams out. I don't know. To me,

33:06

it's Colorado in Vegas in the Western finals.

33:08

Sorry, Edmonton. I just don't know if you're

33:10

going to get over this year. I think

33:13

it's Colorado in the Western. I think it's

33:15

Tampa Bay in Washington and the East. Tampa

33:17

Bay in Washington is interesting because we talked

33:19

about goal tending a bit in this conversation

33:21

How many teams are there in the playoffs

33:24

this season where you're like? I know for

33:26

sure the goal tender is going to be

33:28

really good Yeah, I have two people on

33:30

that list right now. I mean, I think

33:32

the answer should always be zero and hell

33:35

a bus Oh, right. Goal tending is just

33:37

so unpredictable. You know what? Maybe it is

33:39

zero because Pete to your point One of

33:41

the people on my list, Connor Hellabuck, what

33:44

was he in the postseason last year? We

33:46

had to, like, game after game, we were

33:48

like, do we say it yet? Do we

33:50

say it? Yeah, like, he's not playing well.

33:52

And Vasilewski, as you said, he's back on

33:55

track, but you never know, a lot of

33:57

guys though, who can be that next, like

33:59

Matt Murray, or Stu Skinner type, or it's

34:01

like, you know what, you can win with

34:03

anybody with anybody, you can win with anybody,

34:06

you can win with anybody, you can win

34:08

with anybody, you, you know what, you know

34:10

what, you can win with anybody, with anybody,

34:12

you, you know what, you, you, you, you,

34:14

you, you, you, with anybody, you can win

34:17

with anybody, with anybody, you, you, you, you

34:19

know what, you, you, you, you, you, you,

34:21

you, you, with, you, with, with, with, with,

34:23

Yes, yes, yeah, but definitely not on the

34:26

list of I know what I got. Yeah,

34:28

yeah, yeah, certainty is not for the NHL

34:30

playoffs though. And the best goalie right now

34:32

in the NHL over the last 10 games

34:34

is Aid and Hill. He's eight one and

34:37

one. He's got a one seven nine is

34:39

save percentage of nine 35 and two shutouts.

34:41

Like he's been phenomenal, but again, we're not

34:43

talking about him, but could he lay an

34:45

egg? Yeah, like we've seen Aid and he'll

34:48

go up and he'll go up and he'll

34:50

go up and he'll go up and he'll

34:52

go up and he'll go up and he'll

34:54

go up and he'll go up and he'll

34:56

go up and he'll go up and he'll

34:59

go up and he'll go up and he'll

35:01

go up and he'll go up and he'll

35:03

go up and he'll go up and he'll

35:05

go up and he'll go up and he'll

35:07

go up and he'll go up and he'll

35:10

go up and he'll go up and he'll

35:12

go But he didn't even start that play

35:14

off. And so I do think when you

35:16

look at the best goalies in league, cannot

35:19

injure struggle. Yeah, we've seen in the Western

35:21

Conference finals twice. And we've seen Hellabuck struggle.

35:23

You know, the Vasileski and Bobrovski are the

35:25

two that you go, okay. Yeah, these guys.

35:27

we can count on them, they're going to

35:30

be great. We talk about the Colorado goal

35:32

tenders, like what hasn't done it? I don't

35:34

know, the game, one of the playoffs is

35:36

he all always tighten up and he puckers

35:38

up a little bit and goes, uh-oh, this

35:41

is for real and we're playing the Dallas

35:43

Stars. I don't know. And I think that

35:45

there are going to be a lot of

35:47

questions answered in that. Washington's been going back

35:49

and forth forever. Boston did that. And that

35:52

didn't work out so well when they got

35:54

to the playoffs, because you got to pick

35:56

one or do you. Boston thought you did

35:58

and it didn't work. So I don't know

36:01

if Washington's going to be able to figure

36:03

out what to do with their goal is

36:05

either. Gold tenders can make the difference. You

36:07

guys know, I mean, we can talk all

36:09

we want about how great, Dry's title and

36:12

McDavid are, but unless Skinner is good, they're

36:14

not going to win this whole thing. You're

36:16

right. He could win the cup, but he

36:18

could win the cup, but he also might

36:20

be sitting the cup, but he also might

36:23

be sitting the cup, but he also might

36:25

be sitting down, but he also might be

36:27

sitting down, but he also might be sitting

36:29

down by sitting down by sitting down by

36:31

sitting down by game by game by game

36:34

by game by game by game, but he

36:36

also might be sitting down by game, but

36:38

he also might be sitting down by game,

36:40

Like it's that it's that kind of a

36:42

season where it's so chaotic that you just

36:45

you can't predict these things that you go

36:47

oh that that teams they're rolling they're gonna

36:49

go we haven't talked about Carolina yet I

36:51

mean there's so many teams. Yeah I'm glad

36:54

you say that because my next question was

36:56

going to be like there's always an element

36:58

of unpredictability when you head into the postseason

37:00

and you see the bracket and that's kind

37:02

of what makes the whole thing go anywhere.

37:05

than years past because we're talking about the

37:07

whole this whole thing started with the top

37:09

four best odds to win the Stanley Cup

37:11

and the two best teams in the league

37:13

are not in that top four I think

37:16

that speaks to just like nobody fucking knows

37:18

or has any certainty when it comes to

37:20

this year's playoff bracket especially in the Eastern

37:22

Conference right but but I would say even

37:24

without it being yelling at us from the

37:27

Eastern Conference I think could be wise to

37:29

bring up that point if the East were

37:31

mirroring the West right now because Like I

37:33

said, I love the avalanche. I can't tell

37:36

you that they're getting out of the first

37:38

round. Like, you can love the Jets. Are

37:40

they not gonna have a repeat of what

37:42

they did last year? You can love the

37:44

Oilers. As you said, Petey, what if Stu

37:47

hits a wall like he didn't this? second

37:49

round last year and there isn't the correction.

37:51

There's two or what if these injuries maintain?

37:53

What if Ranton and never really becomes Ranton

37:55

and there's so many what-ifs and they're not

37:58

eye-rolly what-ifs. They are very very plausible what-ifs.

38:00

Yeah, look at Winnipeg. Winnipeg couldn't have played

38:02

St. Louis in the first John and get

38:04

the Bennington Hellabuck matchup that we've been all

38:06

waiting for from the Four Nations. Man, St.

38:09

Louis. Louis. That's a good hockey team. I

38:11

know, but I just had to throw it

38:13

out there. Maybe they'll fight it. He doesn't

38:15

like anything that involves Bennington matchup. I don't

38:17

either, but if Bennington plays Hellabuck and it

38:20

matters for the play. St. Louis can beat

38:22

Winnipeg in five. Like St. Louis is playing

38:24

that good, they can play strong, they've not

38:26

a lot of skill, they can score goals

38:29

in Bennington, like them or not, dude can

38:31

play. So we talk about Winnipeg winning the

38:33

West, they might not make it out of

38:35

the first, they might only get one or

38:37

two wins if they play St. Louis plays,

38:40

they might not make it out of the

38:42

first round, and they might only get one

38:44

or two wins if they play St. Louis

38:46

plays Winnipeg Winnipeg, it's like you go. I'm

38:48

really confident, you know, in the East, I

38:51

think Washington, because they're going to play that

38:53

team, that's just going to fight to get

38:55

in Washington, Montreal, I like Washington, Washington, New

38:57

York, I like Washington, you know, Boston gets

38:59

it, Boston's like, I can't, buddy. So they're

39:02

not going to play Washington. But that first

39:04

round match up, Washington might be the only

39:06

first round matchup that I go, okay, the

39:08

L.A. Edmonton? Here we go again. And so

39:10

I think this is this is harder than

39:13

ever to look at this this 16 teams

39:15

and go okay We got a clear winner

39:17

or we got two teams clearly going to

39:19

be in the Western finals or the Eastern

39:22

finals I don't think that's the case this

39:24

year I think there's so much parody And

39:26

there's the case this year I think there's

39:28

so much parody and there's so much parody

39:30

and there's I don't think that's the case

39:33

this year I think there's so much parity.

39:35

We were talking about okay. This is set

39:37

we were talking about okay. Yeah, it was

39:39

and the parody last year was bad like

39:41

that Most of the playoff picture was set.

39:44

The part that wasn't set was just like,

39:46

well, one of these teams just fucking stop

39:48

being an asshole and secure a playoff spot.

39:50

Decide which one of them is gonna get

39:52

devoured. We're talking about- Who can lose the

39:55

most? Yeah. The great Steve Peters, he's got

39:57

breakdowns of the Ovechekin goals, also controversial stuff

39:59

that you might wonder about video wise, like

40:01

Rempy's treatment from officials, he's got great conversations

40:04

on there. Inside the coaches room, make sure

40:06

you are. Yeah. You work for him? First,

40:08

yeah, you know, chickens are a really good

40:10

defender and a really good player. And I

40:12

think... You look at that contract and you

40:15

go, oh my goodness, like really, are we

40:17

sure? We were talking about this kind of

40:19

money when he was back in Arizona. The

40:21

offensive side of his game is there. There

40:23

is no question. He skates phenomenally well. He

40:26

can shoot his shots one-timers, great, his shots,

40:28

one-timers great, his wrist shot, his wrist-great, his

40:30

shots, one-timers great, his wrist shot, his wrist,

40:32

his wrist, one-timers great, his wrist, his wrist,

40:34

his wrist- phenomenally- phenomenally-nominally, he can shoot, he

40:37

can shoot, he can shoot, his, his, his,

40:39

his, he can shoot, he can shoot, his,

40:41

his, his, his shots, his shots, his shots,

40:43

his shots, his shots, his shots, his shots,

40:45

his shots, his shots, his shots, his shots,

40:48

his shots, his shots, his shots, his shots,

40:50

his shots, his shots, his shots, his shots,

40:52

his shots, his And it was always a

40:54

question, gosh, is the good, outweigh the bad.

40:57

And now you look at him as a

40:59

plus 24 for the Washington Capitals. He's a

41:01

guy that he, dude, he's ripped, by the

41:03

way, and I don't know if we're gonna

41:05

talk about the guy with a shirt off.

41:08

If I look like him, I would never

41:10

ever ever ever wear a shirt, like it's

41:12

sick. But he's stronger, he can turn pucks

41:14

over below the goal line, he's got a

41:16

good stick on the rush reads, on the

41:19

rush reads, and he's, and he's, and he's

41:21

improved, and he's improved, and he's, and he's,

41:23

and he's, and he's, he's, he's, he's, he's,

41:25

he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's,

41:27

is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is,

41:30

is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is,

41:32

is Like he's not, he's not gonna be

41:34

that guy that go, hey, we're protecting a

41:36

lead, let's make sure he's out on the

41:39

two-on-one. It's not him, but his defensive game

41:41

has improved so much that yeah, you can

41:43

build around him. His offense isn't going away.

41:45

The one thing about him though is how

41:47

he competes and how he prepares. I've never

41:50

seen a player, and I'm sincere with this,

41:52

never seen a player worry about everything in

41:54

his preparation from every bite of food that

41:56

he puts in his body. He's kind of

41:58

like Tom Brady in that. When he was

42:01

in, when he left Arizona, he started eating

42:03

raw. livers and raw beefhearts like raw like

42:05

not cooked like you have to go to

42:07

special butchers because he wanted that really lean

42:09

healthy protein and he's a little goofy and

42:12

a goofy goofy guy can really help you

42:14

if it's for the right reasons and it's

42:16

for the right reasons and it's for the

42:18

right reasons and it is he wants to

42:20

compete and he wants to win I want

42:23

him on my team I want Jacob chicken

42:25

on my team I think he's gonna be

42:27

an asset there for a very long time

42:29

now for a very long time Yeah, I

42:32

mean, that always happens in a room. You're

42:34

going to have that little bit, hey, wait,

42:36

wait a minute, he just got here. Tom

42:38

Wilson, I'm here, like, well, wait. So I

42:40

do think there's going to be some of

42:43

that, but I would lock Chickering up absolutely

42:45

for as long as you can. As long

42:47

as he plays well, those questions kind of

42:49

disappear, are at least quieted. The only time

42:51

those questions come up is when somebody's playing

42:54

like an asshole and they're like, like, like,

42:56

he's making, he's making nine sheets a, he's

42:58

making nine sheets a year sick. So I

43:00

was going to do the, we were talking

43:02

about, yeah, we could do a lot of

43:05

time on, oh, Carlson, John Carlson, Good Carlson.

43:07

You and I, the Good Carlson, we like

43:09

the Good Carlson. Yeah, I talk about bad

43:11

Carlson. Yeah, we're not talking about bad Carlson.

43:14

Yeah, we're not talking about bad Carlson from

43:16

time to time. Kyle Dubis signed that deal,

43:18

by the way. One playoff win for Kyle

43:20

Dubus, by the way, for counting. He's got

43:22

one. He's got one. Well, we're taking it

43:25

out for the playoffs. Yeah, we're getting free.

43:27

Pete's going to get a free hat. We're

43:29

pushing just in our cross the fence line.

43:31

Well, go to, don't miss, don't miss Sherlock

43:33

Holmes and the underground. Did, DJ, do you

43:36

make it to the underground last time? No,

43:38

I'm a pendant, no five man myself. I

43:40

see a little, boosier, but get away, get,

43:42

get away, get Sherlock in the underground. And,

43:44

yeah, yeah, I'm excited, I'm excited for you

43:47

guys, I'm excited for you guys. We love

43:49

it, we love it, we love it on

43:51

the, we love it on the river, I'm

43:53

excited. Maybe we'll stay in there in the

43:55

playoffs again. Who knows? Yes. Pee, you're the

43:58

greatest. We'll follow you in the playoffs just

44:00

so we could be in the same place.

44:02

You are the best of what you do,

44:04

my friend. Well, let's talk a lot in

44:07

the playoffs and I think that's where this

44:09

gets really exciting is when we can look

44:11

at the video and go, okay, color, I

44:13

was playing Dallas, what? What's that gonna look

44:15

like? So I'm really excited to see these

44:18

matchups and really get to the film and

44:20

start breaking the stuff down. Awesome. Thank you

44:22

so much, my friend. We will talk to

44:24

you soon, I am sure. Bye guys. It's

44:26

Steve Peters, and I'm not bullshitting make sure

44:29

you are subscribed to inside the coaches room

44:31

on YouTube And yes, I always ask that

44:33

you subscribe to what chaos on YouTube But

44:35

certainly make sure while you are subscribing to

44:37

things do not miss PD because whether it's

44:40

videos explaining plays or goals or calls He

44:42

also just has some stuff that just makes

44:44

you understand rules better. And even if it's

44:46

rules. Yeah. I know what that means I

44:48

know what that hand signal means or whatever

44:51

it's still Kind of fills it out in

44:53

your brain. He's great and he talks in

44:55

those videos the way he talks with us,

44:57

which is idiot proof straightforward and just a

45:00

fun guy very lovable under Biden Americans cost

45:02

of living skyrocketed food housing auto insurance Lawsuit

45:04

abuse is a big reason everything's more expensive

45:06

today. Fivalous lawsuits cost working Americans over $4,000

45:08

a year in hidden taxes. President Trump understands

45:11

the problem. That's why he supports loser pays

45:13

legislation to stop lawsuit abuse and put thousands

45:15

back in the pockets of hardworking Americans. It's

45:17

time to make America affordable again. It's time

45:19

to support the President's plan. Before

45:22

we do a slate grade, let's

45:24

talk about John Tortorella because the

45:26

Philadelphia Flyers have lost 11 of

45:28

12 games. They got smoked by

45:30

the Leafs last night, 7-2. They

45:32

have lost 11 of 12 games

45:34

and Peter, that stretch began with

45:36

a seven-game home stand. Yikes. It

45:38

is so bad in Philadelphia. So,

45:40

so bad. Their only win was

45:42

a shootout win too. Not good.

45:44

The quotes from Tortorella, do we

45:46

have the video? Yeah, here's him

45:48

talking about his mindset right now.

45:50

This falls on me. I'm not

45:52

really interested in learning how to

45:54

coach this type, this and this

45:56

type of season where we're at

45:58

right now, but I have to

46:00

do a better job. So this

46:02

falls on me getting the team

46:04

prepared to play the proper way

46:06

until we get to the end.

46:08

What do you make of that?

46:10

You don't like it? I identify

46:12

with it so much. Why? Sometimes

46:14

you just see something in black

46:16

and white and you're just, like

46:18

to say like... It does not

46:21

interest me to, huh, that's an

46:23

interesting little hockey text, but being

46:25

like, kind of Daniel Plainview voice,

46:27

I don't like to talk about

46:29

those things. Like being that compartmentalized,

46:31

I think is healthy. It's not

46:33

amazing in front of the microphone

46:35

to just be like, we're playing

46:37

up the stretch and we're so

46:39

bad and I'm coaching a team

46:41

that is going nowhere and. This

46:43

does not interest me. You can't

46:45

say it. Yeah, even as I

46:47

say, I'm like, there's no, even

46:49

if you identify with it, I

46:51

don't even know if you want

46:53

to identify with it. Right. Yeah,

46:55

I mean, like, you have to

46:57

take something from it, you have

46:59

to, and I get the vibe

47:01

and the energy of it, where

47:03

it's just like, listen, this is,

47:05

this just a lost season, what

47:07

are we gaining from this? You

47:09

can't, you can't stand up in

47:11

front of a microphone in front

47:13

of a microphone and say it.

47:15

Because then everybody's like, well, is

47:17

he checked out? Like that is

47:19

now the big takeaways. John Torturella

47:21

checked out of this Philadelphia Flyers

47:23

team and like I hadn't been

47:25

wondering about whether they move on

47:27

from torts because like I honestly

47:29

wasn't expecting much from that team.

47:31

But now he gets in front

47:33

of the mic and says something

47:35

like that. And I do wonder,

47:37

like, do you move on from

47:39

him? Because you're concerned that he's

47:41

checked out of your group. And

47:43

I think that's a fair concern

47:45

to have. You don't want to

47:47

hear it from him. It's not

47:49

the first time you've heard something

47:51

like this from him and it's

47:53

not the first time like the

47:55

wheels have completely fallen off at

47:57

the end of a Philadelphia Flyers

47:59

season that hasn't exactly gone great.

48:01

And like my my question to

48:04

torts and and he was not

48:06

answering questions last night, my question

48:08

to towards base off of that

48:10

would be like, well, how much

48:12

does this like differ from the

48:14

expectation? Because everybody knew that you're

48:16

in a rebuild. You're not expected

48:18

to be in the thick of

48:20

things around this time of year.

48:22

So why are you like, why

48:24

are you mentally checked out when

48:26

this is kind of where you

48:28

expected to be? I infamously thought

48:30

they could be better than they

48:32

were this year. I thought that

48:34

they could even be a surprise

48:36

team. I was never on board

48:38

with that. It was surprising just

48:40

how bad they have been. So

48:42

I was right in that they

48:44

could be a surprise team because

48:46

I don't think you thought they

48:48

would be this bad. It's a

48:50

great question that you raise on

48:52

towards his future. Does he stay

48:54

there? Does he want to stay

48:56

there and should they want him

48:58

to stay there? And should they

49:00

want him to stay there? And

49:02

should they want him to stay

49:04

there and should be a surprise?

49:06

Frakis. Disaster is what we'll call

49:08

it. The chat also wants to

49:10

know how you're doing. Sean, could

49:12

you fill us in on your

49:14

last however many minutes? Not a

49:16

lot to fill you in on.

49:18

I unplugged the coffee machine and

49:20

threw down like an entire roll

49:22

of paper towels. And that's that

49:24

more or less. Where was the

49:26

water coming from? But they looked

49:28

like it was coming from behind

49:30

the machine. I don't know. I

49:32

don't really know what was going

49:34

to say. I hate that one.

49:36

I hate it. I have a

49:38

tough relationship with it because it

49:40

makes an undoubtedly, it's the, it

49:42

makes the best cup of coffee

49:44

I have ever gotten from a

49:46

coffee machine. Absolutely. Like outside of,

49:49

Berese does it, nice places making

49:51

stuff, we use good beans and

49:53

it grinds it, it makes it,

49:55

it does a spinning thing, it

49:57

does this whole thing, it's an

49:59

expensive machine, and it is, it

50:01

makes you the single serve cup

50:03

of cup of coffee. You can

50:05

get it needs maintenance and not

50:07

in good ways it It's like

50:09

a temperamental. You gotta refill this

50:11

thing every now and then. Like

50:13

no, like it just fucking does

50:15

that. Like that's never supposed to

50:17

do that, but it does shit

50:19

like that. Yeah, it's very temperamental.

50:21

It has outbursts. And personally, I'll

50:23

say it. I'm not even like

50:25

that big of a fan of

50:27

the cup of coffee that it

50:29

makes, but we have different coffee,

50:31

sort of like coffee pallets. Yeah,

50:33

like I like the cheap. Kind

50:35

of diner-esque coffee. So your issue

50:37

is the beans though that it's

50:39

not the machine But you're saying

50:41

like if I'm gonna do cheap

50:43

beans Why would I do it

50:45

in a fancy machine? I'll just

50:47

do it in a thing like

50:49

you could probably wait five minutes

50:51

to get your coffee if you're

50:53

gonna do like a drip thing

50:55

Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think

50:57

we just need a barista. That's

50:59

the next it's just chats theorizing

51:01

that why Sean won't get on

51:03

camera. They say that he's dripping

51:05

on camera break that that vision

51:07

he is he is dries a

51:09

bone yes love to see it

51:11

all right should we do a

51:13

slate grade yeah let's get to

51:15

a slate great uh beginning with

51:17

oh there's only four games they

51:19

all have implications folks yeah that's

51:21

right um yeah yeah are you

51:23

gonna disagree oh Bruins and ducks

51:25

you think doesn't ducks yeah it

51:27

was wondering i'm pretty sure i

51:29

meant to delete that one oh

51:32

yeah there's implications for being assfuls

51:34

did that's the thing though like

51:36

my friend Texamine dogs against the

51:38

ducks. I was like, it should

51:40

be. Ducks are bad in the

51:42

Bruins. Literally a bottom three team

51:44

in the league. That's what I,

51:46

I echoed what you said, which

51:48

is like right now, roster wise,

51:50

they're a like actual bottom team

51:52

in the league, but the Canucks

51:54

and Islanders kick us off at

51:56

7.30 p.m. Eastern, with a, uh,

51:58

Bo Horvat revenge game. I was

52:00

gonna say a Michael Del Zato

52:02

bowl, but that one's better. You

52:04

then have the Devils at the

52:06

Blackhawks in a... Taylor Hall ball,

52:08

right? Yep. Devils at Blackhawks, that's

52:10

at 730. Speaking of which, Taylor

52:12

Hall, still red-hot, scored a great

52:14

power play goal last night. Good

52:16

hockey player. How many points does

52:18

he have? More than Mika Ranton.

52:20

I mean, everyone does. Taylor, Hall,

52:22

Hockey, DB. You may have more

52:24

goals than Mika Ranton has points.

52:26

I mean, he has seven goals

52:28

since the trade. Oh yeah, so

52:30

then he does. Meeko Ranin definitely

52:32

does not have seven points since

52:34

being traded from Colorado. Seven goals.

52:36

He's being, I don't think he

52:38

has seven goals. Maybe. Let's see.

52:40

Who has? Meeko Ranin. Does he

52:42

have seven goals? Meeko Ranin. Does

52:44

he have seven goals since being

52:46

traded from Colorado? I was saying

52:48

specifically since Carolina. Carolina he's got

52:50

five points. Meeko Ranin since? Yeah,

52:52

he's got four goals since being

52:54

traded from Colorado. He ain't done

52:56

shit, dude. No, I know, but

52:58

like Taylor Hall, shout out, Taylor

53:00

Hall, just absolutely lapping Michael Renton

53:02

in terms of returns right now.

53:04

Yeah, he is on lap watch.

53:06

Yeah, he's coming up on him,

53:08

almost double him. Stars at Oilers

53:10

10 p.m. Eastern Camp, I mean,

53:12

we'll be traveling, but I don't

53:15

know what the Wi-Fi situation will

53:17

be. I'm gonna try to listen

53:19

at the very least, get Bob

53:21

and the gang on the call.

53:23

Stars at Oilers at 10 p.m.

53:25

is of course a Cody CC

53:27

bowl. It's also a Corey Perry

53:29

bowl. Corey Perry bowl. Can it

53:31

be a revenge game if it's

53:33

the same? If they played for

53:35

the last season though, it's still

53:37

can you can't fudge the numbers.

53:39

Yeah, can't fudge the numbers. Got

53:41

to be the last team of

53:43

it. And then the Bruins at

53:45

Ducks. That is a Hampus Lind

53:47

home revenge game. Yes it is,

53:49

but if he's not playing in

53:51

it, can it be? No. So

53:53

want to make it a Nick

53:55

Ritchie bowl instead? No. Gross? Why?

53:57

David Bias ball, Neil Simmons says.

53:59

Very good. There is a what

54:01

ball Frank for Toronto. Oh,

54:03

that's a good one Frank for

54:05

Toronto. The list of players that

54:08

I have Disliked on my

54:10

team more than Nick Ritchie Very

54:12

short there are players in

54:14

my quote-unquote career who I

54:17

have been loudly and Because

54:19

people don't listen they

54:22

interpret as obnoxiously

54:24

I've been loudly slash

54:26

obnoxiously steadfast in being

54:29

like No, this is not a

54:31

good player. Bruins fans were so

54:33

happy when the Bruins traded Danton

54:36

Heinen for Nick Ritchie. And I

54:38

was like, you don't know puck. This

54:40

guy, you are going to hate this

54:42

player. Shout out Nick Ritchie. The other

54:44

one is Mac Jones. Yeah, deeply. Mac

54:47

Jones like there was something there.

54:49

It was just, I don't want

54:51

to get into the MacLuskey Bowl.

54:53

Very good. Yeah, Kevin Chad and

54:56

Kirk Bowl. Oh yeah, and Andre

54:58

Koshable, this of course is an

55:00

A minus. I forgot to grade

55:02

yesterday's, yesterday's was a good one,

55:05

but I'll say retroactively still an

55:07

A minus. No, yesterday at the time

55:09

I would have given an A.

55:11

Yes, it was good. Minnesota, Vegas,

55:13

plus, Jets, capitals. Yeah, how's the

55:16

structure on this? When do we get

55:18

tucked in, Sean? Structure on this is

55:20

730 to 10. Two at ten though, not a

55:22

good structure. Not a good structure. Two seven

55:24

thirty, two ten, yeah it's about structure. Same

55:27

eyes. Starzoilers probably will not start until

55:29

1030. It's a T&T game, so it probably won't

55:31

start just 1030. Makes a structure a little bit

55:33

better. Okay, well be on lookout for us in

55:35

Wars comes out today. Pro Shop

56:33

Wars Utah will be out today.

56:35

It is a long one because

56:37

it's the first two parter. We

56:39

do a tour of the store

56:41

by ourselves. They let us in

56:43

by ourselves before it was open,

56:45

gave us our own personal little

56:47

spree. It was amazing. And then

56:50

the next day we were there,

56:52

I believe it was November 15th

56:54

for the first ever retail Jersey

56:56

Day. Jersey's available to buy for

56:58

57:02

the mad rush of us trying

57:04

to find jerseys in our sizes.

57:06

Can we get the players we

57:09

want? It's frantic and it's a

57:11

lot of fun. So be on

57:13

the lookout for that. Utah fans,

57:15

that will be out today. See

57:17

at Edmonton, bye. Under Biden, Americans'

57:19

cost of living skyrocketed, food, housing,

57:21

auto insurance. Lawsuit abuse is a

57:23

big reason everything's more expensive today.

57:25

Fivalous lawsuits cost working Americans over

57:27

$4,000 a year in hidden taxes.

57:30

President Trump understands the problem. That's

57:32

why he supports loser pays legislation

57:34

to stop lawsuit abuse and put

57:36

thousands back in the pockets of

57:38

hardworking Americans. It's time to make

57:40

America affordable again. It's time to

57:42

support the President's plan.
