1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,500
Alright everybody, welcome back to the Buckposter Season 5 where we talk about anything and everything hockey.

2
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:15,000
I am Jeff Fall about my 3rd coast of tonight.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,500
2, 3.

4
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:17,500
Whoa, counting me.

5
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:18,500
Oh, Otis.

6
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:19,500
I noticed.

7
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:20,500
Oh, that's right.

8
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,000
Our unofficial, official mascot.

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Right, Otis?

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,500
He's about to go in that time, so.

11
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:27,500
Yep.

12
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:28,500
Alright.

13
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:29,500
Welcome back.

14
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:30,500
Yep.

15
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,500
Bit of a friggin' mate than ever, right?

16
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:35,500
Yeah, kind of a little later than normal, but that's okay.

17
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:42,500
No stuff behind the scenes that you haven't been able to all get in the studio, but you know, life happens.

18
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:43,500
Yep.

19
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:44,500
It does, in fact.

20
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,500
Life does happen, whether we wanted to or not.

21
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,500
So it's gonna be happening here in a big way here.

22
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:50,500
A couple weeks.

23
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:51,500
About 3 weeks now.

24
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:52,500
Yeah, yeah.

25
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,500
I was talking to your mom about it.

26
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:55,500
I worked today.

27
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,500
Ethan, you know.

28
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,500
Yeah, that's exciting.

29
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,500
Everyone's, you know, I was just gonna say, summery now.

30
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:06,500
Anything eventful, anything notable?

31
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:07,500
Not walking off.

32
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,500
Very busy.

33
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:09,500
Very busy.

34
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:11,500
Did a couple fun things.

35
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,500
Like, went to a race, NASCAR race a couple weeks ago.

36
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,500
Oh yeah, you were up and walking.

37
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:18,500
Walking.

38
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:20,500
That was fun.

39
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:24,500
Very big track, but like it, it's really nice.

40
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:31,500
I think I still, what's nice about walking, it's at least semi-close to Erie, so it's

41
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:34,500
kind of, so you can take a day trip up there and come back.

42
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,500
What is it?

43
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:36,500
It's only three or four hours drive.

44
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:38,500
It's about three and a half, four.

45
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:39,500
Okay.

46
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,500
I mean, it's still not bad.

47
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,500
Well, initially I stayed the night there, my mom and I, because we were gonna initially

48
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,500
plan to go to the state park.

49
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:48,500
That's literally right in town there.

50
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:52,500
But we decided last minute not to.

51
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,500
Which will maybe next time I'll have to just take a week and a day off trip up there.

52
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:59,500
Yeah, get a negative Airbnb and go up.

53
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:00,500
Yeah.

54
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:01,500
You know, actually enjoy it.

55
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,500
You know, you have a place to go that's in town.

56
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:05,500
Yeah.

57
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:10,500
Like, walking is going itself, it's like literally right the town itself.

58
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:14,500
It's literally right off of the lake, a little lake that they have right there.

59
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:18,500
It gets a little town, but it's like really, really beautiful.

60
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,500
Like, it kind of, like parts of it reminds me of Pittsburgh.

61
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,500
Yeah, three hours and 15 minutes from here.

62
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:25,500
Oh, from studio.

63
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:26,500
All right.

64
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:27,500
That's not bad.

65
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:28,500
Yeah, it's not bad at all.

66
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:29,500
I can make it 230.

67
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:30,500
Oh, easy.

68
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:31,500
Easily.

69
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:32,500
Yeah.

70
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,500
But if I had my ADT car, I can make it there in around two.

71
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:39,500
Yeah, but yeah, walking that was a lot of fun.

72
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:47,500
I think it'd be fun for just, even if all of us went one time, they'd just at least experience

73
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:48,500
it.

74
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:49,500
I think it'd be pretty cool.

75
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,500
I've never actually been to an NASCAR race.

76
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,500
I've been to a couple of drag racing events, but I've never.

77
00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:03,500
I'm hoping to maybe go some world of outlaws on races here in the coming couple of years.

78
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:09,500
I've been really getting into the dirt racing scene and that.

79
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:12,500
Those motherfuckers are crazy.

80
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,500
They're the same.

81
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:16,500
But yeah, that was fun.

82
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:24,500
And then, obviously, went to a bunch of local Seawolf baseball teams, which back to back

83
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:26,500
champions, let's go.

84
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:32,500
And then, first Steelers game I went to was pretty fun.

85
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:37,500
Other than that, just busy with work.

86
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:38,500
Yeah.

87
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:40,500
How about you guys?

88
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:46,500
Well, it's just been a lot of planning for shit.

89
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:51,500
We had the bachelor party a few weeks back.

90
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,500
It's been over a month, Ethan.

91
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:54,500
Has it been over a month?

92
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,500
That's from full week of August.

93
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:57,500
That's right.

94
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:58,500
Yeah, because, yeah.

95
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,500
I thought it was the end of September, that we went.

96
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:04,500
No, because I remember I took the, I took the,

97
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,500
Yeah, so it's been about six weeks.

98
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,500
I took that the Wednesday through Sunday off.

99
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,500
The Wednesday prior, it's the Sunday off.

100
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,500
So it's end of August.

101
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:21,500
That's full weekend, which is, it's seriously been that long.

102
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:22,500
Holy shit.

103
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,500
Yeah.

104
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,500
That's just how time is flying.

105
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:27,500
We had that.

106
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,500
That was fun.

107
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:31,500
I still have scars.

108
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,500
From the welts of, yeah, my gosh.

109
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:39,500
I still genuinely have like actual fucking scars on my arms.

110
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:40,500
I'm not surprised.

111
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,500
I wonder if John has still has the scars on his knuckles for me.

112
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,500
He does.

113
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:49,500
At least the one on the, on his left hand, he has the scar on his knuckle.

114
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,500
Oh my gosh.

115
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,500
But, yeah.

116
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:56,500
When you got, hey, if anybody watches our show, plays airsoft,

117
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:58,500
just remember wear gloves.

118
00:04:58,500 --> 00:04:59,500
Yeah.

119
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:03,500
I know the hard way because not wear gloves and wear a plate carrier at the

120
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:04,500
least.

121
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:05,500
Yeah.

122
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:09,500
Cause I've worn non-glaze and getting a hit in the fingers hurts.

123
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:10,500
Sucks.

124
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:11,500
That sucks.

125
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:13,500
Oh my gosh.

126
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:18,500
But, you know, and that Ethan said big, big date for him coming up here.

127
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,500
You know, well, it's a few weeks, I'll be a few weeks.

128
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:23,500
I'll be getting married.

129
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:27,500
You're going to put her, you're going to be put a ring on that.

130
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:30,500
I still think it's funny that Jake and I have a wedding on the same day.

131
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,500
I know.

132
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:34,500
It's, it's weird.

133
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:35,500
But.

134
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:36,500
Yeah.

135
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,500
Cause he, I remember he messaged me not too long ago saying,

136
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,500
bro, when's your wedding?

137
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,500
And I'm like, oh, it's the 20th, it's the end of October.

138
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:50,500
He's like, yeah, funny thing.

139
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:53,500
Our wedding's the exact same day.

140
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:56,500
I'm like, cool.

141
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,500
I think him and Kyle end up talking about it there for a hot minute.

142
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:04,500
So, yeah.

143
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:09,500
Another way to my closest friends are gay marries.

144
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:14,500
Within the next couple of weeks, that's kind of awesome.

145
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,500
Yeah, that's exciting.

146
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,500
We're all getting old.

147
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:23,500
I'll tell you what, man, if you told me that I was going to be ending this year.

148
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:25,500
I'm married, man.

149
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,500
I'm married, man.

150
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:30,500
I would have quite believed it.

151
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:34,500
But here we are.

152
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,500
All right, mom.

153
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,500
Let's get into it, gents.

154
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:38,500
Yeah.

155
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:45,500
So first thing's first, like we always do, let's go into news around the OHL.

156
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:46,500
Go ahead, Jeffy.

157
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:53,500
First and foremost, we'll start, cause we are a couple weeks behind, at least a week.

158
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,500
Oh, let's see.

159
00:06:55,500 --> 00:07:00,500
One thing we will get into at the end, we're going to talk about doing standings.

160
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:05,500
So we'll get to that in a few minutes.

161
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,500
Setter, we'll bring him up.

00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,500
You mean the Mississauga Steelheads, right?

176
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:21,500
Yeah, it's still gonna... What's one thing that's actually kind of funny about Brampton is that after the game against Erie the following night,

177
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:28,500
for God or someone else, even Stan Buller say he's still calling them Mississaugas.

178
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:32,500
He's like, I coached in Brampton when they were with the North Bay Battalion.

179
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:41,500
And North Bay was up there, so he's like, Brampton's gonna... Well, he's like, Mississauga's gonna be always where the Steelheads are from.

180
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,500
Which I thought that comment was kind of funny for me.

181
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:50,500
I understand why they moved it just, you know, I'm sorry, it's always gonna be Mississauga.

182
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:51,500
Yeah.

183
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,500
Like, end of the day.

184
00:09:53,500 --> 00:10:00,500
And then getting Brampton and Bramford next up, that's just gonna be hard all year, honestly.

185
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,500
That's what she said.

186
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:04,500
She hit it again.

187
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:13,500
Look, Marelli of the Ostrich General gets his 100th career Ojo point versus Kingston Frontnecks.

188
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:24,500
Noah Arrolin of the Erie Otters gets his first career Ojo win in a 32 of 34 shots and a 5-2 victory against the Kitchener Rangers.

189
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:26,500
He looks really good so far.

190
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,500
Who is this?

191
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:33,500
The new gold tender for Erie, Noah Arrolin from Sweden.

192
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:34,500
Oh, yeah.

193
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:35,500
The big...

194
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:36,500
The sweet.

195
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:37,500
Yeah.

196
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:40,500
He's looked pretty good so far.

197
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:51,500
Brampton I kind of understood why they just got blown out, just because I figured Brampton was gonna be really good.

198
00:10:51,500 --> 00:11:05,500
And then as of September 28th, Ethan Petelis of the Windsor Spitfire gets his first career Ojo goal and it's slashed his first multi-goal slash point versus the Kitchener Rangers.

199
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:09,500
And he also got a hat-trick in that game, so his first career hat-trick.

200
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:10,500
Oh, sweet.

201
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:20,500
Ethan Garden and Jean-Christophe Lemieux of the Windsor Spitfire get their first career Ojo goal.

202
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:30,500
Blake, Errolsneth, and Reem van Boelmo of the London Knights get their first career Ojo goal versus the Flunth Firebirds.

203
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:41,500
Alex Medelideth of the London Knights in a 33 saves gets his first career win in a 5-2 victory versus the Flunth Firebirds.

204
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:50,500
In that same game, Ryan Filinger of the Flunth Firebirds gets his first career Ojo goal.

205
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:55,500
Sudbury Wolves head coach, Scotch, Bernie gets his first career win as head coach versus Sue Greyhound.

206
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:57,500
She's a Bernie.

207
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:04,500
Blake Clayton of the Sudbury Wolves gets his first career goal.

208
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:10,500
Eric Moxlow of the Sue Greyhound gets his first career Ojo goal.

209
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:22,500
Charlie Lucario of the North of Italian in a 23 saves gets his first career win in a 4-1 victory against the Berrikes Colts.

210
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:31,500
September 30th, Max Crete of the Niagara Ice Fox gets his first career goal versus Kingston Frontenac.

211
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:39,500
Brooks Rogoski of the Ostriches General gets his first career Ojo point off of a Tristan DeSellie goal.

212
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,500
Against the Ottawa 67.

213
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:53,500
Qon the Exelcon of the Ottawa 67 gets his first career Ojo point off of a Will Geer goal in that game.

214
00:12:53,500 --> 00:13:01,500
Philip Eckberg of the Ottawa 67 gets his first career Ojo goal.

215
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:12,500
Dallas Stars prospect, Emil Heming of the Berrikes Colts gets his first career Ojo goal versus the Brampton Steelheads.

216
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:23,500
Joey Cazzano of the Windsor Spitfire gets his second career shot in a 27 saves versus Sue Greyhound in a 5-0 victory.

217
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:31,500
With that shot it gives the Windsor Spitfire their 100th shot out in their franchise.

218
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:42,500
October 4th, Noah Abaflan of the London Knights gets his first career Ojo goal versus the Euryodders.

219
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:51,500
Cameron Cadorna of the Sue Greyhounds gets his first career Ojo goal versus the Wall Storm.

220
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:59,500
Hudson Chichirani of the Subbury Wolves gets his first career Ojo goal versus Peterborough Peats.

221
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:07,500
Calgary Flames prospect, Jacob Tangela gets his 100th career Ojo point.

222
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:19,500
Pittsburgh Penguins prospect, Emil Penenemi of the Kingston Frontenacs gets his first career Ojo goal versus the North Bay Battalion.

223
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:36,500
Then in October 6th, Evan Mullet of the Sonia Stink gets his first career Ojo win in the 19 saves in a 2-1 victory versus the Berrikes Colts.

224
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,500
I have that one right at the real look who they played.

225
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:49,500
Lars Sonavi of the Oshawa Generals gets his first career Ojo goal versus the Berrikes Colts.

226
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:59,500
Then with Sonia they played Sue today so they beat Sue.

227
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:17,500
Then one thing I think we're all very excited cannot wait for as of recording and as this episode releases tomorrow, 95 days to Connor McDean gets his official number 97 retired by the Euryodders.

228
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:22,500
Finally up on the rafters of the EIA.

229
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:35,500
He'll become the third number retired by the Otters on Brad Boyce's number 16 and then Vincent Scott's number 18.

230
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,500
That's honestly very exciting.

231
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:54,500
The Otters came out with a statement like, and actually it was funny when they announced it yesterday on September 5th.

232
00:15:54,500 --> 00:16:10,500
Today was the 13th anniversary of McDean's first goal at the EIA.

233
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:12,500
Which is crazy how everything lines up.

234
00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:20,500
13 years to the day of his first goal, 97 days away from his jersey being retired.

235
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:30,500
Not only that, but looking at the NHL schedule, McDean will play in Pittsburgh on January 9th and he'll play in Chicago on January 11th.

236
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:35,500
So he will make a pit stop at Eury for that night before he heads over to Chicago.

237
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,500
Which would be a cool thing to see.

238
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:43,500
Obviously McDean made a comment in both Jim Waters and Dave Brown.

239
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:50,500
They said in a comment, like this is from McDean.

240
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,500
I chose to wear number 97 when I was 7 years old because that's the year I was born.

241
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:58,500
At the time I had no idea picking that number would become such a big part of me.

242
00:16:58,500 --> 00:16:59,500
Never.

243
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:03,500
Not in my wildest dreams did I think it would hang in the rafters forever.

244
00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:12,500
I want to thank the Eury Otters organization for their incredible honor and also thanks to all my former teammates and all the Otters fans.

245
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:15,500
So it's going to be very...

246
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:18,500
He's only 7 months older than what I am.

247
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:21,500
He was born January 13th in 97.

248
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:24,500
So he'll be celebrating his 20th just right after he...

249
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:27,500
Right before his turn 28.

250
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:30,500
Yeah, he'll be turning 28 right after his jersey.

251
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:35,500
He's retired so I think it's kind of honestly an exciting weekend for him.

252
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:38,500
Like not only getting to play some multiple games but...

253
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,500
And at this point he's going to be over a thousand points.

254
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:47,500
If he continues to play the way that he's played the past couple of seasons, he hands down will be over...

255
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,500
Again, assuming that he stays healthy during the season.

256
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:56,500
He would have been a lot closer if he didn't get injured his rookie season.

257
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:01,500
Injured in those two shortened seasons in 1920 and 2021.

258
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:05,500
He definitely would have hit it by middle of last season.

259
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:06,500
Yeah.

260
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:07,500
At that point.

261
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:10,500
Yeah, honestly, it's very well deserved.

262
00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:13,500
I think not just only as...

263
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:16,500
We obviously think we'll brag about it.

264
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:21,500
Like seeing him get to see this kid play for our team.

265
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,500
Coming in at 15 and now...

266
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:25,500
Look at him now.

267
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,500
Like he's one of the biggest...

268
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:30,500
I mean, he's the face of the NHL.

269
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,500
Yeah.

270
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:33,500
I mean...

271
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,500
Excuse me.

272
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:40,500
We saw him play every single night for at most 20 bucks.

273
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:46,500
Watching him play in the minors for at most 20 bucks, night in and night out, to see this kid perform miracles.

274
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:48,500
Miracles are nice per se.

275
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:51,500
And it's a bragging right now.

276
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:52,500
Oh yeah, absolutely.

277
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:56,500
I know we're going to keep bragging about it.

278
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:58,500
I know.

279
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:02,500
But I think we have the right to just the fact that...

280
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:10,500
Every single night, every single week for three years, we got to just watch him play for our team.

281
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:16,500
And I think we're very fortunate and very lucky to watch me David.

282
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:21,500
Not only grow as a person, but just as a player as well.

283
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,500
That was...

284
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:28,500
When I was in the Army, that was because my unit was right down outside of Pittsburgh.

285
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:33,500
And so a lot of them were hockey fans.

286
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:38,500
And that was one of my bragging rights was...

287
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:42,500
I remember getting to see McDavid play for less than 20 bucks.

288
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:46,500
I remember living one night at some Tampa there for a while.

289
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:51,500
And obviously I worked and I lived with a bunch of lightning fans.

290
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:54,500
And I'd been the only fan of Pittsburgh, you know.

291
00:19:54,500 --> 00:20:03,500
Being the odd man out, but the one thing I had to leg up on that was, again, seeing McDavid live in the flesh and womb of him.

292
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:04,500
When he was a kid.

293
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:05,500
When he was a kid.

294
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:07,500
Again, under 20 bucks.

295
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:10,500
All 20 bucks USD.

296
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:15,500
For those of you who don't live in country, in the States.

297
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:16,500
But it's just...

298
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:18,500
What the hell is wrong with you?

299
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:23,500
Actually, I don't blame it for not being in the States at this current point in time.

300
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:25,500
Rick, I don't blame you either.

301
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:30,500
I know as we get closer to his Jersey retirement, there will be...

302
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:33,500
I know we'll be talking as it gets closer and closer.

303
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,500
Because I know we're all very excited for it.

304
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:47,500
But they already brought up that there will be doing a lot of giveaways, like special memorabilia stuff leading up to his...

305
00:20:47,500 --> 00:20:54,500
They already mentioned the odders will be wearing specialty warm-up jerseys of the McDavid era.

306
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:58,500
So it's actually something similar what I'm actually wearing.

307
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:00,500
They need to bring that one back.

308
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:03,500
I would say, I'd definitely say it's a throwback, like alternate.

309
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:13,500
Like, I personally think if they don't were to go not rebrand back to these colors, at least have it as a throwback, like throwback alternate.

310
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:17,500
So obviously, they have to retire one of...

311
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:25,500
More likely, excuse me, the silver jerseys of which I would assume that probably the one that would go.

312
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:31,500
I would replace that one with a retro version of what I'm wearing.

313
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,500
No, the kids like jerseys, bro.

314
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:37,500
The kids take over jerseys.

315
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,500
Yeah, no thanks. I'll take a hard pass on that.

316
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:45,500
Don't let Colin fool you. He's got a closet of them.

317
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:48,500
That's not jerseys.

318
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:50,500
Fuck. You bum.

319
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:52,500
That was a heavy F.

320
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:56,500
I was actually just saying, I'm going to drop the F bomb.

321
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,500
Keep it down.

322
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,500
Keep it down.

323
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:02,500
Fucker.

324
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:04,500
Give him all the time there.

325
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:07,500
Right.

326
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,500
Yeah, I think that's all we have for now.

327
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:16,500
For when it comes to McDavid in the year, I think we'll, as the...

328
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:23,500
It will be something we talk about as we get closer to retirement.

329
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:28,500
So I think we have some, I think we're all definitely excited for it.

330
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:33,500
But as for the auditors, they've had a pretty good start so far.

331
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,500
Like, split both weekends.

332
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,500
They're two and two.

333
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:42,500
Right now in the Midwestern vision, they're tied for first.

334
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:46,500
Well, Grolf has the tiebreaker because they have a game in hand.

335
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:49,500
But we're technically tied for first in the Midwest.

336
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:54,500
We are sixth in the conference.

337
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:56,500
And 12th in the league.

338
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:00,500
Or we're tied for 10th in the league. Sorry.

339
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:04,500
Yeah, they're, I would say, so far they've looked really good.

340
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:08,500
Branton was the only one I saw, what I feared.

341
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:13,500
That was probably the toughest one, was the third weakest game.

342
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:17,500
But obviously with Branton being a really stacked team,

343
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:22,500
with all their additions added in the offseason,

344
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:27,500
Noah Erlen looked really good.

345
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:33,500
Obviously, Kerry Terrance, Sanofano.

346
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,500
That fear, Len?

347
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:37,500
Once Eddie got healthy?

348
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:45,500
They seemed like they haven't lost a beat since the postseason.

349
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:52,500
Speaking of Branton, they just lost nine or it's like seven to three.

350
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:56,500
And I know they had Jacob Gibbons in tonight as well.

351
00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:58,500
So that was kind of...

352
00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:02,500
Yeah, he gave up what? Five goals of 21 shots or something like that?

353
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,500
Yeah.

354
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:08,500
Which is kind of embarrassing, but I mean, I'm not going to ask the price to give you.

355
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:12,500
I definitely seem like the kind of player, the goaltender he was.

356
00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:17,500
Good person, but not a good goaltender. Not at all.

357
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:19,500
We still have Bernzee though, don't we?

358
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:20,500
Yeah.

359
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:21,500
Bernzee's our number two.

360
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:24,500
He had his first start last night against that.

361
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,500
Because I remember the last time I went and saw him play.

362
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:31,500
Dude, he was a fucking stud.

363
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,500
His first start was last night against Saddam.

364
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:36,500
I mean, he was for what?

365
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:40,500
For everything that Saddam did last night.

366
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:43,500
It was just hard to get past.

367
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:48,500
They seemed like everything was going in for Saddam almost.

368
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:49,500
It's nothing.

369
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,500
He played great.

370
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,500
It just seemed like it was just unfortunate.

371
00:24:54,500 --> 00:24:56,500
Nice shots and that.

372
00:24:56,500 --> 00:25:00,500
Yeah, and we just like Branton at the home opener.

373
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:04,500
We just, you know, in Oki, he was hot that night.

374
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:06,500
We ran into a really hot goaltender.

375
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:09,500
Yeah, Jack I have a COVID guy fair in which he,

376
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,500
I fair, I knew once he was starting,

377
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,500
like I knew he was going to be an issue

378
00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:18,500
and like for the audience and that.

379
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:22,500
Yeah, so, I mean, it is still a good show.

380
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,500
It just, we came out and losing it that night.

381
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:30,500
I'll say a lot of the newer guys that have,

382
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:34,500
they're kind of making their debuts like Gabriel Frasca

383
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:38,500
since coming over from Sarnia, he's looked really good.

384
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:42,500
And especially with that chemistry with Spence and that,

385
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:46,500
like he's had, I really like that a lot,

386
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:51,500
seeing that tandem together and that so far.

387
00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:55,500
Tyler Challengers has been pretty solid.

388
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,500
Like hasn't gotten his goal yet or a point yet,

389
00:25:57,500 --> 00:26:03,500
but like he's Royston, he's really, like really,

390
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:06,500
like the gun greediness.

391
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:07,500
Which is good.

392
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:10,500
Going into potentially a second full season with the Otters

393
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:12,500
as a full-timer, you know.

394
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:16,500
That's exactly what you need, exactly what you expect out of,

395
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:18,500
you know, as of right now, bottom six forward,

396
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:20,500
but he has the potential of being top six.

397
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:23,500
Maybe even top-line.

398
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:28,500
Speaking of OHL, why don't we say we go into our predictions.

399
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:33,500
I know the season's already started, but you know.

400
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:34,500
Alright, don't worry.

401
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:38,500
Yeah, this is something new we decided we were going to do this year.

402
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:44,500
We were going to look at, like, where we think teams are going to be sitting at,

403
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:46,500
by the time we begin the...

404
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,500
Just wing it.

405
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,500
You're usually pretty good at that, so.

406
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,500
For the OHL.

407
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:54,500
Yeah.

408
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:56,500
Like I said, you're usually pretty good at that.

409
00:26:56,500 --> 00:27:00,500
You're not like other members in the studio, you know.

410
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:06,500
I think for the OHL we will start in the East just because I think the West is...

411
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:09,500
We like the West, I think, is the best.

412
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:13,500
But why don't you start calling?

413
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:14,500
Sure.

414
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:19,500
So, I'll go bottom top in 14th place, I have the Niagara Icehawks.

415
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:23,500
13 through 10, I got nobody.

416
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,500
Hot takes here.

417
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:28,500
Number nine, the Steelheads from Brampton.

418
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,500
Brampton Steelheads, not the Mississaugas.

419
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:32,500
Brampton.

420
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,500
Eighth place, North Bay, seventh place, you got the 67ers.

421
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:38,500
Sixth place, you got Kingsley in front next.

422
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,500
Fifth place, the Varycults.

423
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:43,500
Number four, you got the Oshawa Generals.

424
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,500
Number three, Sudbury.

425
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:48,500
Number two, the Peter O'Varreau Peets.

426
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:52,500
And number one at top, you got the Bramford Bulldogs.

427
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:53,500
Okay.

428
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:57,500
Which, unfortunately, I think the East is the weaker one of the two conferences.

429
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:58,500
I agree.

430
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,500
I think the West is a lot tougher and just...

431
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:03,500
You got your top six or seven teams at West.

432
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:06,500
That could be your top ten in the league.

433
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:11,500
The only one I'm a little surprised with your hot take is Brampton and I know...

434
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:15,500
If there are anything like last season that will get off to a great start,

435
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,500
you know, we'd be still.

436
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,500
And then once the season progresses, maybe once we get into the holiday season

437
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:24,500
and into the new calendar year,

438
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:28,500
you know, I feel like that's when they're going to start kind of slipping up and do some production.

439
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:30,500
Are there really only ten teams at these conferences?

440
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:31,500
Yeah.

441
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:32,500
Yeah, it's a twenty-two maybe.

442
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:38,500
And others have been rumors of potential expansions in the coming years.

443
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:39,500
Just where though?

444
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:43,500
Well, it'd be nice to have another fucking US team.

445
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:44,500
Yeah, I'm staying in Buffalo.

446
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:45,500
Buffalo?

447
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:46,500
I'm hoping Buffalo.

448
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,500
I'd say either Buffalo or Rochester.

449
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:51,500
I think Buffalo will make a lot more sense.

450
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:53,500
Most teams usually go through...

451
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,500
Or at least Eastern Conference teams.

452
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,500
They already go through Buffalo when they come into the area.

453
00:28:58,500 --> 00:28:59,500
Yeah.

454
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:04,500
Rochester, you know, you're going to come to the stateside, which is already a pain in the ass,

455
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,500
you know, going across the border regardless of which way you're going up to Canada or down the stateside.

456
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:17,500
But, you know, you don't want to spend another 90 minutes or two hours in the bus driving yourself up to Rochester.

457
00:29:17,500 --> 00:29:19,500
And then email on the way back.

458
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:23,500
So Buffalo, I feel like that would be a smart choice if you're going to the stateside,

459
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:28,500
or maybe even something in Michigan like a Detroit area to rival Flint's.

460
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,500
But we already have two Michigan's.

461
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:31,500
Yeah, two Michigan's.

462
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:34,500
I would say get another one closer to...

463
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,500
You got the battle over here.

464
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:42,500
You got Niagara, London, Eurya, and then, you know, hopefully that would end.

465
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:49,500
And then maybe another team up East, you know, Eastern Ontario, but I don't know where you can set one.

466
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:50,500
Yeah.

467
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:53,500
Not Mississauga again, because you saw how that is.

468
00:29:53,500 --> 00:29:59,500
Yeah, so they couldn't even bring in a thousand fans for their playoffs and that.

469
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:01,500
A thousand of their own fans, we should say.

470
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:02,500
Yeah.

471
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,500
Because I think the majority of their fans for our routine.

472
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:06,500
Yep.

473
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:10,500
So we're going off of conferences here, boys.

474
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:11,500
Yeah.

475
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:13,500
We're going East first.

476
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:14,500
All right.

477
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:15,500
Eastern conference.

478
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:16,500
Yeah.

479
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,500
Obviously, number 10's got to be Niagara.

480
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:20,500
Fuck.

481
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:21,500
Right.

482
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:23,500
That's just the plain and simple.

483
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:24,500
Fuck it.

484
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:28,500
Deal with it.

485
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:37,500
Number nine, I'm going to go ahead and actually say probably Brampton.

486
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:38,500
Oh, wow.

487
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:39,500
Honestly.

488
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:40,500
Okay.

489
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:42,500
So that's another hot take.

490
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:43,500
Okay.

491
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:44,500
Yeah.

492
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:47,500
And Brampton is going to be number nine.

493
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:51,500
Number eight, I'll put Kingston.

494
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:52,500
Seven.

495
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:53,500
Seven.

496
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:58,500
Oh, fuck.

497
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:09,500
You know, we're going to put Barry at number seven.

498
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:19,500
From there, we'll do Kingston at number, or I think I already said Kingston at eight.

499
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:28,500
So number six, we'll put North Bay at six.

500
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:29,500
Five.

501
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:34,500
Five, I'll put Ottawa.

502
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:45,500
I'll put Ottawa at five.

503
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:50,500
I'm really picking your brain here, Rob.

504
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:54,500
Well, because there's a couple of different options that I could have.

505
00:31:54,500 --> 00:32:03,500
I'm going to say Oshawa at number four.

506
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:06,500
I'll put Bramford at three.

507
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:10,500
I don't think I've said Sudbury yet.

508
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:16,500
I'll put Sudbury at two, and then Peterborough at one for the conference, for the Eastern

509
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:17,500
Conference.

510
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:18,500
All right.

511
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:24,500
So the Peats actually have a bounce back here.

512
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:29,500
For me, I have Niagara at number 10.

513
00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:34,820
Even though they are on a hot streak, I don't think it's going to last by the time we get

514
00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:37,500
to the postseason.

515
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:40,500
Second, I have the Peterville Peats.

516
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:45,500
Eighth place, I have the Ottawa 67s.

517
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:48,500
Seventh place, I have the Berry Colts.

518
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:51,500
Sixth place, I have the Sudbury Wolves.

519
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:55,500
Fifth place, I have the Kingston Fronts.

520
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:58,500
Fourth, I have the Bramford Bulldogs.

521
00:32:58,500 --> 00:33:00,500
Third, I have the Oshawa Generals.

522
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,500
Second place, I have the North Bay Battalion.

523
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:12,500
Number one, I have the Steelheads, Brampton.

524
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:16,500
And then I might as well start in the West.

525
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:24,500
I have, in tenth place, I have the Gulf Storm.

526
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:29,500
I think they are going to drop out of the playoffs this year.

527
00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:30,500
You think so?

528
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:32,500
Oh, yeah.

529
00:33:32,500 --> 00:33:39,500
Well, last year, their biggest issue was injuries, and then, of course, just couldn't score.

530
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:44,500
Their forwards could not score whatsoever.

531
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,500
So that's actually one of my hot takes.

532
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:50,500
The Gulf Storm do miss the playoffs.

533
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:54,500
Ninth place, I have the Windsor Spitfire.

534
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:59,500
They're definitely going to be much better than what they were last year.

535
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:03,500
Sarnia, I see making it back to the playoffs.

536
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:09,500
Eighth place, seventh place, I have the Elwinstown Attack.

537
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:12,500
Sixth place, I have the Flint Firebirds.

538
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:23,500
And honestly, from here on out, it can be interchangeable just because I think these five teams are going to be so competitive this year.

539
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:31,500
But fifth place, I have the Saginaw Spirit, the Defending Memorial Cup Champions.

540
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:34,500
Fourth place, I have the Eere Yotters.

541
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:38,500
Third place, I have the Kitchener-Rainers.

542
00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:40,500
Second place, I have the Sue Greyhounds.

543
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:46,500
And then number one, I have the Defending OOH Champions, the London Knights.

544
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:48,500
Unfortunately.

545
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:50,500
It pains me to say that.

546
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:56,500
I do just got to get from these.

547
00:34:56,500 --> 00:35:04,500
They seem like they never have a hangover from the women's championship.

548
00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:07,500
They're just so good in that.

549
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:10,500
They never have a hangover. They're never in a rebuild.

550
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:14,500
They're always solid.

551
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:15,500
Yeah.

552
00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:17,500
Alright.

553
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,500
You want to go next season or?

554
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:22,500
Yeah, sure. For the Wiest.

555
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:26,500
Wiest? I thought you said Wiest.

556
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:28,500
For the Wiest.

557
00:35:28,500 --> 00:35:31,500
Number ten.

558
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:37,500
Number ten, I'm going to put Flint.

559
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:41,500
Nine.

560
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:44,500
Nine, I'm going to say O and sound.

561
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:47,500
Don't think they'll finish very high this season.

562
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:52,500
Honestly, I was really debated about putting them well this year too.

563
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:57,500
Number eight, we are going to put Sarnia.

564
00:35:57,500 --> 00:36:02,500
Number seven, we'll put Guelph.

565
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:06,500
Six.

566
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:13,500
I think six is going to go to Kitchener.

567
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:19,500
Five is going to go to Erie.

568
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:26,500
Four, I'll say Saginaw.

569
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:38,500
Three, I'm going to put Windsor.

570
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:44,500
I'm going to jump from Las Pais in the lead to third in the west.

571
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:47,500
I'm going to say Windsor is going to have a little bit of a bounce back.

572
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:53,500
But that means number two, I'm going to put the Sue Gray.

573
00:36:53,500 --> 00:37:01,500
I know it's a little bit of a shot, but I can't talk shit and you'll see why when I do one.

574
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:11,500
Number one, yeah, it hurts me to say the Londonites.

575
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:15,500
For mine, you can do a three, four, three.

576
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:21,500
Anyone of these three groups can bounce back and forth between their respective statements.

577
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:27,500
The bottom three will be Guelph, Sarnia, and Windsor.

578
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:34,500
They'll be closed. The west came down to the last couple of games there last year.

579
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:42,500
I feel like that last box is like a hey, that last game or two, last couple of days there,

580
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:45,500
win it in your aim, lose it out.

581
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:49,500
The only one that wasn't no more close was Windsor last year.

582
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:52,500
Yeah, they had a shit ear last year.

583
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:53,500
They were so bad.

584
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:56,500
Yeah, they were last in the league last year.

585
00:37:56,500 --> 00:38:02,500
They had lost, I think, 15 for 17 games, if I remember correctly.

586
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:11,500
Now these things, obviously, you can flip just depending on debates and everything.

587
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:18,500
You got from seven to four, Flint's, Owen Sound, Kitchener, and Erie.

588
00:38:18,500 --> 00:38:26,500
I know last year, it was for a while, three through six, and then four through six,

589
00:38:26,500 --> 00:38:30,500
we're all juggling and whatever.

590
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:36,500
And then these last three, out for debate, I think one's more firm, but two or three, debating.

591
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:39,500
I'm guessing London's the pretty firm.

592
00:38:39,500 --> 00:38:42,500
Yeah, London's the pretty firm number one.

593
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:45,500
I got Saginaw two and Sue three.

594
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:51,500
Those are up for debate, obviously, depending on how they come out of the season,

595
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:57,500
how strong they are, if they fall, they fall down wherever I think.

596
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:00,500
They have the potential on paper.

597
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:02,500
They tend to be pretty strong teams.

598
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:08,500
Well, just like my one T-shirt says, fucking Buffalo Hockey's good on paper.

599
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:10,500
I still like that shirt.

600
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:11,500
I love that shirt.

601
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:15,500
I'm so happy you picked that up when we were on Buffalo Hockey.

602
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:17,500
Do you want to know something crazy?

603
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:23,500
I got that shirt almost four years ago now, because that was just before I deployed.

604
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:27,500
No. Was it serious that long ago?

605
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:34,500
Yeah, I left Erie at the end of 2020.

606
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:42,500
Erie, end of 2021, and I was going from the end of 2021 to almost the end of,

607
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:44,500
actually around this time of 2022.

608
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:47,500
Yeah.

609
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:50,500
So yeah, it's been almost four years.

610
00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:52,500
We got to make another trip up to Buffalo.

611
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:53,500
Yeah, we do.

612
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,500
Another just random, hey, let's go to the Buffalo State.

613
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:57,500
Fuck yeah, we do.

614
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:00,500
And I've been out for almost two years now.

615
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:02,500
Yeah, you're right.

616
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:04,500
You are right.

617
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:07,500
Oh, I know I'm right, because I keep getting fucking phone calls.

618
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:09,500
Hey, we'll give you this much money.

619
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:15,500
And I'm like, hey, I'll give you a foot up the fucking ass.

620
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:21,500
All right, let's jump over to NHL News.

621
00:40:21,500 --> 00:40:25,500
I'm trying to think of how they do the French and Montreal.

622
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:26,500
I don't know.

623
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:27,500
I can't remember.

624
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:31,500
You guys want to start with free agents here, big free agent signings.

625
00:40:31,500 --> 00:40:34,500
For the out season that are notable.

626
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:38,500
Yeah, hold on.

627
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:51,500
I'm trying to see it go based off the teams here.

628
00:40:51,500 --> 00:41:02,500
I'll say Anaheim didn't really do anything this major.

629
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:03,500
Boston.

630
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:15,500
I mean, we had Anthony Mantis on to one year with Calgary, which that fucking hurt me very

631
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:19,500
significantly, because Calgary is where careers go to die.

632
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,500
Look at Huberdo.

633
00:41:21,500 --> 00:41:25,500
I hate to say it, but look at Huberdo.

634
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:29,500
Same with good old fucking Booger Sugar to his nets off.

635
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:33,500
He's over in the cage on right now.

636
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:39,500
Yeah, but before he left, he signed it one year with Calgary.

637
00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:44,500
Yeah, I don't know why my nose is so running now.

638
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:48,500
Oh my God, never mind.

639
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:52,500
I'm trying to see it.

640
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:59,500
Jason Zucker signed with a one year contract with the sabers.

641
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:03,500
Tyson Yoast signed it one year with the Hurricanes.

642
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:17,500
Same with Jack Roslovic, Martin Nicos, and Jack Derrory too.

643
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:21,500
I mean, Krebs also re-signed a two year contract with the sabers.

644
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:27,500
Luca Peccalucanen signed a five year with the sabers.

645
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:28,500
Luke!

646
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:35,500
James Reimer, he signed a one year with the sabers.

647
00:42:35,500 --> 00:42:42,500
Tubo Taravainen and Tyler Bertuzzi both signed with the Chicago.

648
00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:46,500
Again, I know the face of a career is go to die.

649
00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:51,500
Yeah, that's no fucking joke.

650
00:42:51,500 --> 00:42:54,500
And nothing really had to do with Colorado.

651
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:57,500
Colorado has a pretty strong team.

652
00:42:57,500 --> 00:43:01,500
I mean, once Nuschen comes out of the player assistance and, you know,

653
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:04,500
Mantis God gets healthy, then...

654
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:09,500
JVR signed a one year with Columbus.

655
00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:15,500
Columbus?

656
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:20,500
Ilya Ladooshkin signed a three year with Dallas.

657
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:24,500
Same case, I don't know, assuming that's Casey Dismuth.

658
00:43:24,500 --> 00:43:28,500
Yeah, Casey Dismuth is now in Dallas.

659
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:30,500
Matt Duchain.

660
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:32,500
I'm just thinking of the song that I can't sing on air.

661
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:34,500
Matt Dunbaugh.

662
00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:37,500
Matt Dunbaugh's.

663
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:41,500
Fucking Magnus Helberg.

664
00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:46,500
That six to seven months.

665
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:51,500
I'm sorry, I can't stop picturing him in that.

666
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:55,500
The one picture I saw at one of Detroit's camps

667
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:58,500
where they had to go and screen each other.

668
00:43:58,500 --> 00:44:02,500
No, it wasn't Detroit's camp, it was Seattle.

669
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:07,500
It was fucking Helberg screening Grubauer.

670
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:10,500
Grubauer's the smallest guy.

671
00:44:10,500 --> 00:44:12,500
Grubauer was my height.

672
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:17,500
Yeah, he's the smallest guy, but Helberg's got almost a foot on him.

673
00:44:17,500 --> 00:44:19,500
He's got a full head over.

674
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:22,500
Plus in skates.

675
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:25,500
Yeah, well regardless of skates or not, he's got a full head over.

676
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:29,500
Another one, Ethan, you forgot for Columbus.

677
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:31,500
I'm Sean Monahan, signed a five year.

678
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:36,500
And then Detroit had some big ones.

679
00:44:36,500 --> 00:44:39,500
I knew you were going to be happy about this.

680
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:40,500
I knew it.

681
00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:42,500
Well, Camp Talbot signed a two year.

682
00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:47,500
Which that one, I honestly, I was not expecting at all.

683
00:44:47,500 --> 00:44:49,500
At fucking all.

684
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:52,500
But I am so happy for it.

685
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:58,500
They re-signed Lucas Raymond to an eight year.

686
00:44:58,500 --> 00:45:00,500
I'm so glad about that.

687
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:01,500
I'm glad.

688
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:02,500
I'm so glad about that.

689
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:06,500
I was really surprised.

690
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:12,500
I know he was an RFA for them, but I was surprised nobody tried fucking sniping them.

691
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:16,500
Honestly, I was genuinely surprised he went through three 18 on the first one.

692
00:45:16,500 --> 00:45:19,500
I really like Lucas Raymond a lot.

693
00:45:19,500 --> 00:45:24,500
Well, just think, they might have, he just said, no, I want to stay here and DJ.

694
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:29,500
So what I find interesting though is Moe is still an RFA.

695
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:31,500
I thought they, hold on.

696
00:45:31,500 --> 00:45:33,500
No, they never re-signed him.

697
00:45:33,500 --> 00:45:35,500
At least not that I saw.

698
00:45:35,500 --> 00:45:37,500
No, they did re-sign him.

699
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:38,500
Did they?

700
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:39,500
Yeah.

701
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:41,500
It just has restricted free agents.

702
00:45:41,500 --> 00:45:43,500
They did say that he, they re-signed.

703
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:45,500
Actually, no, they never let me sign.

704
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:52,500
And then the big one that Kyle and Colin and everybody else in the studio about me were upset with,

705
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:59,500
Vladimir Tarasenko signs a two year with the Detroit Redlands.

706
00:45:59,500 --> 00:46:03,500
Which I know what my next year's is going to be.

707
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:04,500
Eat my ass.

708
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:06,500
I know the brink is good.

709
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:12,500
And I thought it was so funny too, because I mean, he was on the cusp of signing with Pittsburgh.

710
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:16,500
Like, he was so close to signing with Pittsburgh.

711
00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:22,500
Then of course, the fucking Heiser Plan comes back in the full effect.

712
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:24,500
I still believe in the Heiser Plan.

713
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:36,500
Oh, I'm a very heavy believer and very big fan of the Heiser Plan.

714
00:46:36,500 --> 00:46:40,500
Edbiton, they re-signed Connor Brown to a one year deal.

715
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:42,500
They haven't re-signed him.

716
00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:44,500
Corey Perry re-signed with the Oilers.

717
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:47,500
They, they did re-sign Cider.

718
00:46:47,500 --> 00:46:48,500
Oh, they did?

719
00:46:48,500 --> 00:46:55,500
Yeah, seven year, 59.85 million dollar contract which comes after 8.55 a year.

720
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:57,500
That's so pretty fucking good.

721
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:00,500
Yeah, back on September 19th to 24th.

722
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:04,500
Oh, so this was only a few weeks back.

723
00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:06,500
Not even a month ago.

724
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:07,500
That's the thing.

725
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,500
So, they, they and he and Cider are staying in Detroit.

726
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:18,500
Okay, because if he was still in RFA, I'm gonna be like, how has he not been fucking taken?

727
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:23,500
Very young, like really good, actually very young, good defenseman in that.

728
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:26,500
Yeah, he's freakishly young.

729
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:36,500
Because obviously he was taken right before Jamie Drysdale was in the 2020 draft and then just a couple slots.

730
00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:42,500
I mean, Stuart Skinner, actually I'm sorry, Jeff Skinner signed a one year contract with the Oilers.

731
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:47,500
And Adam Henrich signed a two year contract with the Oilers.

732
00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:48,500
Yeah.

733
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:54,500
No, dude, I still can't get, I know you're gonna tell me to fuck myself and that's fine.

734
00:47:54,500 --> 00:48:00,500
I just, I still cannot believe that Terracin goes into Detroit.

735
00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:06,500
Like, I actually, I saw a picture of him wearing the fucking winged wheel.

736
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:10,500
As much as I love it, it's fucking weird.

737
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:14,500
I'm just taking Stammer and Nashville.

738
00:48:14,500 --> 00:48:15,500
Yeah.

739
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:20,500
Oh, yeah, I remember when they were taking his player pictures, I was like, oh, I hate it.

740
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:22,500
He's only good in the blue and white.

741
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:24,500
I see he looks much better in the blue.

742
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:26,500
I'm like, oh, I actually hate that.

743
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:31,500
Well, it was like when fucking Bert got sent to Boston.

744
00:48:31,500 --> 00:48:32,500
Yeah.

745
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:36,500
When Bert got sent to Boston, I was like, uh, Bert, yeah.

746
00:48:36,500 --> 00:48:41,500
And then he went from Boston to fucking Toronto and I was like, uh.

747
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:44,500
And now he's in Chicago and he's like, ugh, ugh.

748
00:48:44,500 --> 00:48:47,500
Chicago's at least not too bad.

749
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:51,500
The journey down that, the team is awful.

750
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:54,500
Oh, yeah, the team's dog shit.

751
00:48:54,500 --> 00:49:02,500
I'm not, I'm not denying that the team isn't dog shit, but yeah.

752
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:10,500
No, I just, I genuinely wonder how fucking Stevie White pulled that off.

753
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:13,500
Like, I like, that's why.

754
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:17,500
And that's not me trying to come at it from a point of arrogance because, oh, that's my team.

755
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:22,500
It's, I'm genuinely fucking curious because going into free agency,

756
00:49:22,500 --> 00:49:29,500
Vlad Tarasenko was arguably the hottest free agent out of the entire free agency from this past season.

757
00:49:29,500 --> 00:49:31,500
Between him, Jake Encelo, man.

758
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:33,500
Him, Jake Encelo, and fucking Stammer.

759
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:41,500
But regardless of who, like, who you support, who you root for, like, that's the fucking Y's and Pail.

760
00:49:41,500 --> 00:49:45,500
That's it. That's all that comes down to.

761
00:49:45,500 --> 00:49:47,500
That's all I'd say about it.

762
00:49:47,500 --> 00:49:48,500
Yeah.

763
00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:50,500
Gosh.

764
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:58,500
Nothing really big in Florida because they had to get rid of a lot because of overcap.

765
00:49:58,500 --> 00:49:59,500
Oh, were they?

766
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:04,500
Yeah, that's why Tarasenko had to, was kind of, were kind of probably left.

767
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:11,500
I guarantee you would have stayed if they weren't.

768
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:30,500
Los Angeles, they signed Warren Fogel and another big one, Edmonton, Victor Ardruz and from, they also re-signed him.

769
00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:38,500
But Fogel has got to sign to the Kings.

770
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:43,500
Quentin Bifill signed a five-year contract with the Kings.

771
00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:46,500
I'm kind of glad he's staying in LA.

772
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:50,500
Yeah.

773
00:50:50,500 --> 00:51:07,500
Nothing really major in Minnesota.

774
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:14,500
Now, there were some big ass signs for your agency this past year.

775
00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:18,500
There were a ton.

776
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:26,500
Obviously, Stephen Stamco, then Jonathan Marchoso all signed with the Nashville Predators.

777
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,500
Nashville's going to be fucking crazy this year, too.

778
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:34,500
Well, the fact that, like, they're going to be insane.

779
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:36,500
Oh, they're going to be.

780
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:44,500
Honestly, I think I'm going to watch Nashville a little bit closer this year because I'm really curious to see how Stammer does with them.

781
00:51:44,500 --> 00:51:46,500
How both Stammer and Marchoso.

782
00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:49,500
I said, they got their backup on Goal 10.

783
00:51:49,500 --> 00:51:53,500
They signed Scott Wedgewood to a two-year contract.

784
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:54,500
Oh, yeah.

785
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:55,500
I forgot about that.

786
00:51:55,500 --> 00:52:01,500
He'll honestly more like be the backup to the Soros and then...

787
00:52:01,500 --> 00:52:03,500
Yeah, to the Jews.

788
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:09,500
But...

789
00:52:09,500 --> 00:52:13,500
Brendan Dillon signed a contract for the...

790
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:16,500
I'm not too thrilled with him being packed in the Metro.

791
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:17,500
Who? Brendan Dillon?

792
00:52:17,500 --> 00:52:18,500
Yeah.

793
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:20,500
I forgot you don't like him.

794
00:52:20,500 --> 00:52:24,500
He just was a goon with Washington in that.

795
00:52:24,500 --> 00:52:28,500
I just didn't care for...

796
00:52:28,500 --> 00:52:34,500
I was glad when he went to Winnipeg, I was like, thank God he's out of the Metro and then he's now back.

797
00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:35,500
This is okay.

798
00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:39,500
Real quick, I'm just going to slide right back in.

799
00:52:39,500 --> 00:52:43,500
Thomas Tatar signed a one-year with the Devils.

800
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:46,500
With Choisey.

801
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:50,500
Which I think, I honestly, I think that's good for him.

802
00:52:50,500 --> 00:53:01,500
I mean, as much as I would love to have Tommy Tats back in the Motor City, especially with all the young talent that's on Detroit now,

803
00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:06,500
I think it'd be great, but I mean, beggars can't be choosers.

804
00:53:06,500 --> 00:53:08,500
I'll support him wherever he goes.

805
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:11,500
I always liked him when he was with Detroit.

806
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:15,500
When he hasn't been with Detroit, I'll always support.

807
00:53:15,500 --> 00:53:17,500
The Tats.

808
00:53:17,500 --> 00:53:22,500
It's in Declare, signed a four-year contract with the New York Islanders.

809
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:36,500
Nothing really major in the Big Apple and with the Rangers.

810
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:47,500
Nothing really big with the Senators.

811
00:53:57,500 --> 00:53:59,500
Same thing with Buffalo.

812
00:53:59,500 --> 00:54:17,500
Honestly, the two biggest ones with Pittsburgh was, I'm by Anthony Bavillier.

813
00:54:17,500 --> 00:54:23,500
That was the one I was really happy about, Pittsburgh signing.

814
00:54:23,500 --> 00:54:29,500
And then obviously, the Islanders, Sebastian Aho.

815
00:54:29,500 --> 00:54:31,500
Defensin' Sebastian Aho?

816
00:54:31,500 --> 00:54:32,500
No?

817
00:54:32,500 --> 00:54:34,500
Yes, seriously, Defensin' Sebastian Aho.

818
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:35,500
Really?

819
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:39,500
They're all so freaking dumbfounded by that.

820
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:40,500
Wait, Pittsburgh signing?

821
00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:41,500
Yeah.

822
00:54:41,500 --> 00:54:42,500
Holy fuck, I did not.

823
00:54:42,500 --> 00:54:46,500
I must have completely missed that.

824
00:54:46,500 --> 00:54:52,500
I still remember when we heard Sebastian Aho, we were like, wait, wait.

825
00:54:52,500 --> 00:54:55,500
We were all so freaking dumbfounded by it.

826
00:54:55,500 --> 00:55:00,500
How can you play for two teams in the same fucking league?

827
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:03,500
Same league, same division.

828
00:55:03,500 --> 00:55:07,500
Can you imagine those two teams play together?

829
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:09,500
I remember when we were born.

830
00:55:09,500 --> 00:55:11,500
Was it Islanders in Carolina?

831
00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:14,500
At the time, yeah, I was in Carolina.

832
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:17,500
Can you imagine having to pull double duty?

833
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:21,500
Just half and half of Jersey sewed together?

834
00:55:21,500 --> 00:55:26,500
I don't know what you would do in those situations.

835
00:55:26,500 --> 00:55:31,500
Just stand at center ice and just pass the puck to whoever.

836
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:36,500
I remember when we fed out, Sebastian Aho coming right, which one?

837
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:39,500
And then we were like, defense, and we were like, oh, I remember.

838
00:55:39,500 --> 00:55:46,500
We were all so freaking depressed, we were almost as heartbroken as us not signing Teresenko,

839
00:55:46,500 --> 00:55:48,500
but that's a whole different conversation.

840
00:55:48,500 --> 00:55:49,500
Yep.

841
00:55:49,500 --> 00:56:18,500
San Jose, honestly, they signed Tyler DeFoei to a four year contract with the Sharks.

842
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:39,500
Maddie Baneer signed a seven year contract with the Seattle Kraken.

843
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:42,500
Nothing really big in St. Louis.

844
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:44,500
St. Louis.

845
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:51,500
Oh yeah, St. Louis.

846
00:56:51,500 --> 00:56:54,500
Right, not too much.

847
00:56:54,500 --> 00:56:56,500
In Tampa.

848
00:56:56,500 --> 00:57:02,500
Looking Champa Bay.

849
00:57:02,500 --> 00:57:04,500
Lauda in Toronto.

850
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:13,500
Chris Tanneth, Ekken Larson, and Max Domi all signed with the Maple Leaf.

851
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:17,500
Matt Murray signed with the Maple Leafs to a one year.

852
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:19,500
And now he's on waivers.

853
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:26,500
Yep.

854
00:57:26,500 --> 00:57:36,500
Those are some of the big ones for Toronto.

855
00:57:36,500 --> 00:57:44,500
Nothing really too big in Utah.

856
00:57:44,500 --> 00:57:51,500
Jake DeBrust signed a seven year contract with the Vancouver Canucks.

857
00:57:51,500 --> 00:57:59,500
Dayton Hynan signed a two year with the Canucks.

858
00:57:59,500 --> 00:58:16,500
I still don't like the fact that DeBrust is in Vancouver.

859
00:58:16,500 --> 00:58:25,500
Ilya Samsonov, and Victor Ultersen, they signed with the Vegas Golden Knights.

860
00:58:25,500 --> 00:58:27,500
The Vegas Injurer serves?

861
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:29,500
Yeah, pretty much.

862
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:31,500
The Vegas Injurer serves.

863
00:58:31,500 --> 00:58:33,500
That's possible.

864
00:58:33,500 --> 00:58:35,500
You're not wrong.

865
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:39,500
What's going to happen this year? Mark Stone is going to go back on the...

866
00:58:39,500 --> 00:58:42,500
Altair until Game 1 of the playoffs.

867
00:58:42,500 --> 00:58:44,500
Yeah, that's what's going to happen.

868
00:58:44,500 --> 00:58:45,500
Who is it?

869
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:47,500
Mark Stone.

870
00:58:47,500 --> 00:58:51,500
He's done that every year for the past like two years, or three years.

871
00:58:51,500 --> 00:58:58,500
I mean, yeah, you're not wrong.

872
00:58:58,500 --> 00:59:00,500
Obviously, just a shout out.

873
00:59:00,500 --> 00:59:03,500
Taylor Radish is reuniting with Dylan Strome in Washington.

874
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:10,500
He signed a one year with the Caps.

875
00:59:10,500 --> 00:59:13,500
But nothing really major.

876
00:59:13,500 --> 00:59:22,500
Conor McMichols, he's resigned with Washington.

877
00:59:22,500 --> 00:59:32,500
Oh, another one we missed in Toronto. Max Patratti, he signed with Toronto.

878
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:40,500
Well, I guess that, you know, I guess that now he would like to leave after one round.

879
00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:48,500
That's really all the real big ones that happen in free agency.

880
00:59:48,500 --> 00:59:52,500
Now, big trades going back on August 13th.

881
00:59:52,500 --> 01:00:01,500
The Penguins acquired Cody Clabs from Nashville before Jordan Frasca, a third and 25, and a sixth in 2026.

882
01:00:01,500 --> 01:00:03,500
Another one on August 18th.

883
01:00:03,500 --> 01:00:15,500
The Sharts, the San Jose Sharts, acquired defenseman Cody Ceezy, a third round pick and 25 from the All Overs for defenseman Ty Emberson.

884
01:00:15,500 --> 01:00:27,500
On the 19th, we got the Canadians, acquiring Ford Patrick Linae, a second round pick in 2026 from CBJ for defenseman Jordan Harris.

885
01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:33,500
One day, me and you and I were talking about this at the Otters game last week.

886
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:38,500
It just sucked like he was looking for a fresh start after leaving Columbus.

887
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:41,500
I mean, he immediately gets hurt in Montreal.

888
01:00:41,500 --> 01:00:43,500
That was such a brutal hit.

889
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:45,500
Yeah.

890
01:00:45,500 --> 01:00:49,500
I'll show you later, but like that was such a fucking brutal hit.

891
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:51,500
Me on me, you can tell he sucks me out.

892
01:00:51,500 --> 01:00:54,500
Oh, was that the line eight hit?

893
01:00:54,500 --> 01:00:55,500
Yeah.

894
01:00:55,500 --> 01:01:03,500
I saw the still frame of his leg and I was like, four to six months on IR.

895
01:01:03,500 --> 01:01:06,500
I, well, how old is Linae?

896
01:01:06,500 --> 01:01:10,500
He's, he's not quite cross music age, right?

897
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:12,500
Oh, hell no.

898
01:01:12,500 --> 01:01:14,500
Is he even 30?

899
01:01:14,500 --> 01:01:15,500
No.

900
01:01:15,500 --> 01:01:16,500
Really?

901
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:19,500
No, he was born April 19th of 1998.

902
01:01:19,500 --> 01:01:21,500
What?

903
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:22,500
Yeah.

904
01:01:22,500 --> 01:01:25,500
He's only a couple months old, but you, he was,

905
01:01:25,500 --> 01:01:27,500
Then I'm right here ordering me.

906
01:01:27,500 --> 01:01:32,500
He, remember, he was taking second overall Matthew Strath back in 2016.

907
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:34,500
What?

908
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:35,500
Yeah.

909
01:01:35,500 --> 01:01:40,500
He's young.

910
01:01:40,500 --> 01:01:44,500
Just the face of Ben Blizzo mid of, I,

911
01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:49,500
Whoa, I did not know Linae was that fucking young.

912
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:51,500
He looks older than what he has.

913
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:52,500
He looks old as shit.

914
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:55,500
He's aged like fucking milk.

915
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:58,500
Well, I, I have no room to talk shit.

916
01:01:58,500 --> 01:02:00,500
I hope you know, with, cause like with the facial hair,

917
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:02,500
I don't think I'm in my 30s without it.

918
01:02:02,500 --> 01:02:04,500
I don't take him, you know, 12 years old.

919
01:02:04,500 --> 01:02:08,500
I mean, I can't talk shit either cause I'm the same way.

920
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:11,500
But either way, like he, you are right.

921
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:14,500
He does look like he's oldest, oldest fuck.

922
01:02:14,500 --> 01:02:18,500
He looks like he, I'll fucking build your own character in NHL, bro.

923
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:24,500
I think what's stunk about Linae, like even Montreal, like every time he was touching the fuck,

924
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:28,500
even in those pre-season games, like everyone was like,

925
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:32,500
was hyped and now like applauding him and cheering him on.

926
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:36,500
And just that tells you how excited they were to actually have.

927
01:02:36,500 --> 01:02:43,500
Another, a super, not, not, oh, not a super, like another superstar with the experience of, of Linae.

928
01:02:43,500 --> 01:02:44,500
Yeah.

929
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:45,500
Yeah.

930
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:47,500
I mean, yeah, I saw the still frame.

931
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:51,500
I didn't watch the actual clip of the hip, but I did see the still frame of it.

932
01:02:51,500 --> 01:03:01,500
And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll like, like, I wouldn't wish that upon anybody in the NHL, even except Tom Wilson.

933
01:03:01,500 --> 01:03:07,500
Honestly, even him, like that was just fucking brutal.

934
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:10,500
Oh, yeah, I'll pop the video here once we're done.

935
01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:13,500
But like, yeah, it was, but you could tell even just from the still frame,

936
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:17,500
you could tell it was directly knee on me.

937
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:22,500
Yeah, you can tell he stuck his left knee out to really fuck up Linae.

938
01:03:22,500 --> 01:03:29,500
Which part of me wants to say I get it, but at the same time, it's that's fucked up.

939
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:32,500
Like whether you like Linae or not, that's fucked.

940
01:03:32,500 --> 01:03:33,500
Yeah.

941
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:38,500
Like that, that's, that's something that should not be allowed.

942
01:03:38,500 --> 01:03:44,500
I know it's not allowed, but that's, there needs to be some pretty heavy fucking repercussions for that.

943
01:03:44,500 --> 01:03:52,500
Like not just a fine, like, I'm talking like potential like season and suspension.

944
01:03:52,500 --> 01:03:53,500
I wouldn't go that far.

945
01:03:53,500 --> 01:03:58,500
I mean, this is his first offense, you know, I see a couple games of suspension with the fine,

946
01:03:58,500 --> 01:04:05,500
but I don't imagine, I don't imagine a, and then the last big trade, I,

947
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:08,500
but that was just me, that's just me spent Pauline.

948
01:04:08,500 --> 01:04:09,500
That's big trade.

949
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:15,500
I'm August 22nd, a couple of top prospects between Pittsburgh and Winnipeg.

950
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:21,500
Pittsburgh requires Rutger, Gregoria from Winnipeg, from Port LaFord, Brandon Yeager.

951
01:04:21,500 --> 01:04:25,500
Honestly, that's not, I mean, I know a lot there.

952
01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:34,500
Yeager was a bit, was a big price like one top, but I think Rukut was,

953
01:04:34,500 --> 01:04:36,500
is more ready than Yeager.

954
01:04:36,500 --> 01:04:43,500
Like he's more NHL ready compared to where Yeager, he's going to be staying with Moosh,

955
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:48,500
Moosh John another year and that's, so like he's not, he's not ready to go.

956
01:04:48,500 --> 01:04:58,500
So honestly, I'm kind of honestly, that, that one did not I'm fine with as with that trade.

957
01:04:58,500 --> 01:05:05,500
All right, after that, let's finally jump into NHL standing's Pradiky Shians.

958
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:11,500
So, well, this time I know we started in the East for the O, so when we started the West

959
01:05:11,500 --> 01:05:17,500
for the N, for the NHL, starting into Pacific Division, all good are going.

960
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:24,500
Going from eight to one, I got Santa Jose, in Anaheim, Calgary, Seattle, Vancouver,

961
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:31,500
Vegas, not surprised, the LA Kings and Edmonton, Trenchin on top of that division.

962
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:32,500
Okay.

963
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:33,500
What's the division or was there a division?

964
01:05:33,500 --> 01:05:35,500
The specific division.

965
01:05:35,500 --> 01:05:37,500
The specific division.

966
01:05:37,500 --> 01:05:38,500
Okay.

967
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:41,500
They painted a specific ocean.

968
01:05:41,500 --> 01:05:43,500
I couldn't be more specific.

969
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:44,500
Shut up.

970
01:05:44,500 --> 01:05:48,500
All right, I'll go here.

971
01:05:48,500 --> 01:05:55,500
If dead last, I had the San Jose Sharks, 7th place at the N, Ducks, 6th place, I had the

972
01:05:55,500 --> 01:06:01,500
Calgary Flames, 5th place, I have the Seattle Kraken, 4th place at the LA Kings, 3rd place

973
01:06:01,500 --> 01:06:09,500
of the Canucks, 2nd place, the Golden Knights, and then number one, I have the Edmonton Oilers.

974
01:06:09,500 --> 01:06:12,500
For the Pacific Division.

975
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:14,500
Let's see.

976
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:28,500
Yeah, number eight, from eight to one, I have San Jose, Seattle, Vancouver, Vegas.

977
01:06:28,500 --> 01:06:35,500
Yeah, really, Vegas is number five in the division.

978
01:06:35,500 --> 01:06:36,500
Yeah.

979
01:06:36,500 --> 01:06:37,500
Okay.

980
01:06:37,500 --> 01:06:38,500
It's a show off.

981
01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:41,500
Vancouver, I mean, I'm kind of surprised that Vancouver too, honestly.

982
01:06:41,500 --> 01:06:44,500
But I know they all surprised us last year.

983
01:06:44,500 --> 01:06:57,500
I'm going to say Calgary, Anaheim, Edmonton, and LA.

984
01:06:57,500 --> 01:07:01,500
Really, you have Anaheim in number three.

985
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:02,500
Yeah.

986
01:07:02,500 --> 01:07:03,500
That's a hot take.

987
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:04,500
Yeah.

988
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:09,500
That's a hot take, but I'm going to roll with it because I'm known for making shitty hot

989
01:07:09,500 --> 01:07:11,500
takes.

990
01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:15,500
We've had five seasons of shitty Ethan Hot Takes.

991
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:18,500
And all five seasons we've dissed you for it.

992
01:07:18,500 --> 01:07:20,500
You and Bobo.

993
01:07:20,500 --> 01:07:24,500
But at least with mine, I've gotten somewhat close too.

994
01:07:24,500 --> 01:07:29,500
Well, I'm not saying we were Bobo back in 2020, Dallas being the seventh place.

995
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:35,500
Which, I mean, yeah, that was the one team out of 32 that he had.

996
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:37,500
Well, I'm talking about the Central there.

997
01:07:37,500 --> 01:07:38,500
Yeah.

998
01:07:38,500 --> 01:07:42,500
Speaking of Central, that's the two of them.

999
01:07:42,500 --> 01:07:45,500
So Jeff, you want to start with this guy?

1000
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:46,500
This one?

1001
01:07:46,500 --> 01:07:49,500
And if dead last, I have the Chicago Blackhawks.

1002
01:07:49,500 --> 01:07:50,500
Wow.

1003
01:07:50,500 --> 01:07:52,500
That rewrites the shock off my face.

1004
01:07:52,500 --> 01:07:53,500
Shocker.

1005
01:07:53,500 --> 01:07:56,500
Seventh place, I have the St. Louis Blues.

1006
01:07:56,500 --> 01:07:59,500
Sixth place, I have the Minnesota Wild.

1007
01:07:59,500 --> 01:08:03,500
Fifth place, I have Utah.

1008
01:08:03,500 --> 01:08:07,500
Fourth place, I have the National Predators.

1009
01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:11,500
Third place, I have the Winnipeg Jets.

1010
01:08:11,500 --> 01:08:14,500
Second place, I have the Colorado Avalanche.

1011
01:08:14,500 --> 01:08:19,500
And first place, I have the Dallas Stars.

1012
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:24,500
National and Winnipeg, I feel like are going to be the ones that can be honestly featured.

1013
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:29,500
So again, I'm just going to do all of mine, eight to one.

1014
01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:35,500
So Chicago.

1015
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:40,500
And then I have the Minnesota.

1016
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:44,500
St. Louis.

1017
01:08:44,500 --> 01:08:51,500
Utah.

1018
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:53,500
I didn't say Colorado already.

1019
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:56,500
Colorado.

1020
01:08:56,500 --> 01:09:06,500
I think it was a hot take.

1021
01:09:06,500 --> 01:09:11,500
Nashville.

1022
01:09:11,500 --> 01:09:13,500
I got Minnesota left.

1023
01:09:13,500 --> 01:09:18,500
You got Minnesota.

1024
01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:22,500
Dallas, Winnipeg.

1025
01:09:22,500 --> 01:09:27,500
I got Winnipeg and the Dallas.

1026
01:09:27,500 --> 01:09:31,500
Having Colorado that low is honestly.

1027
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:35,500
Every season we do this, I expect you to be better when it comes to these hot takes.

1028
01:09:35,500 --> 01:09:38,500
But every year you surprise me with your shitty hot takes, man.

1029
01:09:38,500 --> 01:09:41,500
I mean, they're your hot takes and I get that.

1030
01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:43,500
I understand.

1031
01:09:43,500 --> 01:09:45,500
Again, we have our own opinions.

1032
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:46,500
I get it.

1033
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:47,500
I respect that.

1034
01:09:47,500 --> 01:09:49,500
It's your own opinions.

1035
01:09:49,500 --> 01:09:58,500
I just, I feel like with how hot Colorado, and here's my reasoning for specifically Colorado,

1036
01:09:58,500 --> 01:10:06,500
with how hot they've been the last year or two, the last two seasons, couple seasons.

1037
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:14,500
Yeah, the last two or three seasons, they're bound for an off year.

1038
01:10:14,500 --> 01:10:18,500
Like that, that momentum can't just keep fucking going.

1039
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:26,500
They got upset by Seattle two seasons ago and then knocked out last year.

1040
01:10:26,500 --> 01:10:41,500
So, like they're bound for, I feel like with such the hot streak that they had, they're bound for at least two off seasons.

1041
01:10:41,500 --> 01:10:44,500
Two rough seasons, rougher seasons.

1042
01:10:44,500 --> 01:10:49,500
I guess that you can make the same kind of debate. I mean, look at Tampa at the beginning of the decade.

1043
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:55,500
They went to three straight cup finals, won the first two, lost the third ones to Colorado.

1044
01:10:55,500 --> 01:11:01,500
Granted, they lost in the first round of the past couple of years, won to Toronto, which I'm still not happy about.

1045
01:11:01,500 --> 01:11:06,500
And then that's the past couple of years to Florida.

1046
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:13,500
I think Tampa is going to be one of those teams that's going to have a little bit of an easier fucking bounce back year.

1047
01:11:13,500 --> 01:11:21,500
Because a lot of their bigger players normally tend to stay on IR too long if they are on IR.

1048
01:11:21,500 --> 01:11:26,500
The bigger one being for Colorado, somebody like Gabe Landisgog.

1049
01:11:26,500 --> 01:11:35,500
I mean, you got two of your big four out and definitely Gabe Landisgog and N'Chuskin.

1050
01:11:35,500 --> 01:11:36,500
Yeah, N'Chuskin.

1051
01:11:36,500 --> 01:11:37,500
Thank you.

1052
01:11:37,500 --> 01:11:51,500
Yeah, I mean, that's why I mean, until those two can come back healthy and try and get back to where they were, like their cup eras,

1053
01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:58,500
I see Colorado, I will see Colorado be a mid-card at best.

1054
01:11:58,500 --> 01:12:03,500
I mean, because again, you don't see that with Tampa.

1055
01:12:03,500 --> 01:12:09,500
I mean, at most, the most injury prone member currently on Tampa is Victor Hedman.

1056
01:12:09,500 --> 01:12:13,500
And even then, that's few and far between.

1057
01:12:13,500 --> 01:12:15,500
He's a game here, a game there.

1058
01:12:15,500 --> 01:12:21,500
Yeah, it's not like he's missing weeks and weeks and weeks of the fucking season.

1059
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:27,500
He's out, like you said, a game, maybe two.

1060
01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:43,500
So that's why, again, until those two come back and we see where they're at, if they come back, that's why they're going to be a mid-card for me.

1061
01:12:43,500 --> 01:12:44,500
Fair enough.

1062
01:12:44,500 --> 01:12:45,500
Fair enough.

1063
01:12:45,500 --> 01:12:47,500
That's my reasoning.

1064
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:48,500
No, and I understand.

1065
01:12:48,500 --> 01:12:50,500
I have a lot of respect for it.

1066
01:12:50,500 --> 01:12:55,500
I understand and I see where you're coming from, from your POV.

1067
01:12:55,500 --> 01:13:03,500
But I also have to give a lot of respect to them because they have made do very well without the two of them on.

1068
01:13:03,500 --> 01:13:10,500
They've picked up a lot of that fucking slack because, I mean, Gabe Landis God is a heavy hitter.

1069
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:20,500
I think the other thing, like, now you think about it, Ethan, the other thing I could think of where you are coming from too is also gold-tending with Colorado as well.

1070
01:13:20,500 --> 01:13:32,500
They don't have a super solid tandem for gold-tending where with Tampa Bay, you have Andre Vasilevsky in between the pipes.

1071
01:13:32,500 --> 01:13:37,500
Who could be, you know, that deal breaker like, hey, if he's on, you're going to fucking win tonight.

1072
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:44,500
Like, he's on and if the other team's going to win, they're going to fucking work for it.

1073
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:50,500
Like, he's no slouch of a gold-tender by any stretch of the imagination.

1074
01:13:50,500 --> 01:14:10,500
So that's just kind of my logic on it is I respect the hell out of Colorado as a team, but they are missing two very big components to be back to where they were when they won their last cup.

1075
01:14:10,500 --> 01:14:13,500
Okay, that's bell enough.

1076
01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:19,500
So I know it's a hot take and I know it's crazy, but that's the reason.

1077
01:14:19,500 --> 01:14:26,500
Honestly, you kind of, I would say pretty good on your explanation there.

1078
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:32,500
I can't say anything that's not going to make me look like an ass. Like, I'm sorry, you're right.

1079
01:14:32,500 --> 01:14:43,500
So it's just you kind of as much as people will shoot that jump the fucking gun up, you don't fucking hockey.

1080
01:14:43,500 --> 01:14:53,500
Slow down and really read between the fucking lines. That's really what it comes down to is reading between the fucking lines.

1081
01:14:53,500 --> 01:14:58,500
Like, they're a great team. Nathan McKinnon fucking powerhouse. Absolutely.

1082
01:14:58,500 --> 01:15:05,500
But he's not the same as he was when he had Landis Godwin with him.

1083
01:15:05,500 --> 01:15:11,500
You know, Dave McKinnon can only do so much. You know, Keal McCarr can only do so much.

1084
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:19,500
Exactly. So, you know, that's just, that's my thinking. You guys can think whatever the hell you want.

1085
01:15:19,500 --> 01:15:26,500
All right, I'm going to finish up the central here. You know, no surprise Chicago's in the last place.

1086
01:15:26,500 --> 01:15:32,500
Right. Utah, I got seventh, sixth is Minnesota.

1087
01:15:32,500 --> 01:15:43,500
I got fifth place in St. Louis, fourth place Winnipeg, third place Colorado, second place Nashville,

1088
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:48,500
which leaves Dallas at the number one spot for that central division.

1089
01:15:48,500 --> 01:15:55,500
Yeah. You know, honestly, I think that's the first time too that we've all agreed who's going to be number one on a division.

1090
01:15:55,500 --> 01:15:59,500
One of the first times being Dallas. Yeah.

1091
01:15:59,500 --> 01:16:09,500
Honestly, I feel like honestly, Winnipeg, Nashville and Colorado, I think are very interchangeable honestly in that division.

1092
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:17,500
You said Winnipeg, Nashville and Colorado. Yeah. I feel like it's going to be out of all of that division.

1093
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:21,500
I feel like the tightest competition is going to be between those three teams.

1094
01:16:21,500 --> 01:16:28,500
I mean, I think it's going to be two through four and who ends up getting that other wildcard spot because like really looking at the West.

1095
01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:39,500
I mean, you got to toss up between three teams. I feel like for the West, you've got the most finishing team out of those three teams between Nashville, Colorado and Winnipeg.

1096
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:47,500
And you also got teams like Vancouver, Seattle, Calgary, Vegas all competing for the second wildcard spot.

1097
01:16:47,500 --> 01:16:55,500
I don't think, I think I can confidently say that it is kind of a stretch to say Vegas to be shooting for that wildcard.

1098
01:16:55,500 --> 01:17:02,500
I'm just saying because look at two years ago when they missed the playoffs, they only missed by a point or two after the second wildcard spot.

1099
01:17:02,500 --> 01:17:06,500
Right, but also look at who they have lost since that time.

1100
01:17:06,500 --> 01:17:09,500
Lost and gained kind of thing.

1101
01:17:09,500 --> 01:17:26,500
Yeah, so I guess it's just really going to, it's really going to come down to how the new additions to their team fill the shoes of the ones that they lost, one of the bigger ones being somebody like Marcos.

1102
01:17:26,500 --> 01:17:36,500
I mean, whoever is there slotting to fill Marcos shoes or fill his skates is going to have a fucking task at hand.

1103
01:17:36,500 --> 01:17:47,500
And then of course, Mr fucking IR King, Mark Stone, I mean, they're going to have to pick up that slack too.

1104
01:17:47,500 --> 01:17:51,500
Yeah, because I know Ike was probably going to be picking up a lot, be putting a lot of money.

1105
01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:57,500
Which is a shame because I love Mark Stone as a person, but it's like dude, you are kind of a fucking bum. You're kind of a pussy.

1106
01:17:57,500 --> 01:17:59,500
I'm sorry, you're kind of a pussy.

1107
01:17:59,500 --> 01:18:04,500
And Mark Stone, if you ever somehow listen to this podcast.

1108
01:18:04,500 --> 01:18:06,500
I mean it.

1109
01:18:06,500 --> 01:18:12,500
You know, and you know, Jack Ikel is going to be putting a lot more on his shoulders with Vegas as well.

1110
01:18:12,500 --> 01:18:18,500
But the thing is, is Jack Ikel can do it because he's finally got a team around him that allows him to do it.

1111
01:18:18,500 --> 01:18:22,500
That's Jack Ikel finally be Jack Ikel.

1112
01:18:22,500 --> 01:18:26,500
I still can't get over the whole situation with him and Buffalo.

1113
01:18:26,500 --> 01:18:29,500
That was so, that was so sad.

1114
01:18:29,500 --> 01:18:34,500
My time of, because obviously Buffalo is, I would consider my second favorite team.

1115
01:18:34,500 --> 01:18:42,500
That was probably the whole situation with Buffalo was probably, that whole thing with Ikel was probably the worst thing.

1116
01:18:42,500 --> 01:18:50,500
And that's just like the only other good player that was on that team was the fucking Fossil.

1117
01:18:50,500 --> 01:18:54,500
Dallin was also pretty good at the time.

1118
01:18:54,500 --> 01:18:57,500
Even though he was still young at the time.

1119
01:18:57,500 --> 01:19:03,500
I would say he was young, but if it wasn't fucking Jack Ikel, it was Kyle O'Poso.

1120
01:19:03,500 --> 01:19:06,500
And get that Fossil off the ice.

1121
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:11,500
Which is crazy to me that he's finally fucking retired.

1122
01:19:11,500 --> 01:19:12,500
I even made the cut.

1123
01:19:12,500 --> 01:19:14,500
After what, 17 seasons in the NHL?

1124
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:18,500
It was like 17 or 18 seasons in the NHL?

1125
01:19:18,500 --> 01:19:22,500
I even said like when he was telling, the Fossilist finally.

1126
01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:29,500
Well, I remember I saw that article, I think I may have been like just getting home from work when I saw that article.

1127
01:19:29,500 --> 01:19:34,500
And I physically in my car was just like fucking finally.

1128
01:19:34,500 --> 01:19:38,500
He's drafted in 2006.

1129
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:41,500
So after 18 years.

1130
01:19:41,500 --> 01:19:44,500
Yeah, 18 years.

1131
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:45,500
Fuck.

1132
01:19:45,500 --> 01:19:46,500
Yeah.

1133
01:19:46,500 --> 01:19:48,500
And damn near nothing to show for it.

1134
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:51,500
Well, mine is the one cup, but he went out on top.

1135
01:19:51,500 --> 01:19:53,500
Who did he win a cup with?

1136
01:19:53,500 --> 01:19:54,500
Florida.

1137
01:19:54,500 --> 01:20:05,500
And he got a bonus in his contract, but after he got into it, his bonus was like he'd get a 500,000 bonus.

1138
01:20:05,500 --> 01:20:10,500
Yeah, all paid for by this buffalo.

1139
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:14,500
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, arm.

1140
01:20:14,500 --> 01:20:17,500
So let me give it a straight.

1141
01:20:17,500 --> 01:20:20,500
This is when he got traded to Buffalo, or sent to Buffalo.

1142
01:20:20,500 --> 01:20:21,500
Correct.

1143
01:20:21,500 --> 01:20:36,500
No, yeah, this, this past season before the trade deal deadline, he was traded to Florida from Buffalo for I don't even remember what I don't give a shit one, but he was traded to Florida and helped them win their first day in the cup.

1144
01:20:36,500 --> 01:20:40,500
Well, as a part of the contract, we signed a Buffalo.

1145
01:20:40,500 --> 01:20:48,500
If he helped, if he helps the team that is on when the cup, he gets a bonus of like 500,000 dollars.

1146
01:20:48,500 --> 01:20:57,500
Well, Florida won the cup and that money was paid to him from not other than the Buffalo savers.

1147
01:20:57,500 --> 01:20:58,500
Yeah.

1148
01:20:58,500 --> 01:21:15,500
So pretty much as right now, Buffalo is Florida's minor league team because you got no former players like Kyle Caposo, Sam Reinhardt, Evan Rodriguez, Sam Bennett, all come from Buffalo to Florida to win a cup.

1149
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:22,500
So Buffalo pretty much is Florida's minor league team.

1150
01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:26,500
I just can't wait for the announcement at the end of the season.

1151
01:21:26,500 --> 01:21:32,500
Your newest addition to the ECHL, the Buffalo savers.

1152
01:21:32,500 --> 01:21:37,500
The minifigure issue with the Florida Panthers, the Buffalo savers.

1153
01:21:37,500 --> 01:21:46,500
The next banner going up at the K-Vague Center is of players the savers they're given as one of the savers.

1154
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:55,500
And memorabilia of their time here in Buffalo.

1155
01:21:55,500 --> 01:21:56,500
Oh, shit.

1156
01:21:56,500 --> 01:22:00,500
Oh, that's fucking funny.

1157
01:22:00,500 --> 01:22:03,500
You just got to feel bad for these savers fans.

1158
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:10,500
You know what, I want one of the fucking thousand Buffalo savers stores up in downtown Buffalo.

1159
01:22:10,500 --> 01:22:13,500
I want them to make sure.

1160
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:19,500
Buffalo savers, the official affiliate team of the Florida Panthers.

1161
01:22:19,500 --> 01:22:23,500
I would buy one of those so fucking quick.

1162
01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:24,500
You know, it's crazy.

1163
01:22:24,500 --> 01:22:31,500
You look back at all the players that, you know, ordered Buffalo for a period of time and then Kyle traded away and won a cup elsewhere.

1164
01:22:31,500 --> 01:22:33,500
Ryan O'Reilly won with St. Louis.

1165
01:22:33,500 --> 01:22:36,500
You got Jack Icon when he won it with Vegas.

1166
01:22:36,500 --> 01:22:40,500
You know, all the players who stayed in Florida.

1167
01:22:40,500 --> 01:22:43,500
They really are an affiliate team.

1168
01:22:43,500 --> 01:22:46,500
That's what it is.

1169
01:22:46,500 --> 01:22:49,500
They really are an affiliate team.

1170
01:22:49,500 --> 01:22:55,500
The Buffalo affiliates.

1171
01:22:55,500 --> 01:23:01,500
All right, moving on to the Buffalo minor leagues.

1172
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:09,500
Ben the Atlantic with the Buffalo, the Buffalo savers, the official LA shell team of New York.

1173
01:23:09,500 --> 01:23:10,500
Right.

1174
01:23:10,500 --> 01:23:12,500
Dude, can you imagine?

1175
01:23:12,500 --> 01:23:14,500
What would that be some shit?

1176
01:23:14,500 --> 01:23:17,500
Imagine us going to like an Otters game.

1177
01:23:17,500 --> 01:23:20,500
It's like you have the Erie Otters versus the Buffalo savers.

1178
01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:22,500
It's like, wait, hold on.

1179
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:24,500
I thought they were going to do a chill cheat.

1180
01:23:24,500 --> 01:23:26,500
Guys, we decided.

1181
01:23:26,500 --> 01:23:29,500
Fucking Gary Beckman comes out and we're just like, yeah.

1182
01:23:29,500 --> 01:23:31,500
We decided to downgrade.

1183
01:23:31,500 --> 01:23:33,500
This is the thing. Have fun with it.

1184
01:23:33,500 --> 01:23:35,500
You do your thing kind of thing.

1185
01:23:35,500 --> 01:23:37,500
Yeah, pretty much.

1186
01:23:37,500 --> 01:23:41,500
We decided to downgrade the savers to a development league.

1187
01:23:41,500 --> 01:23:48,500
Do you know how much I'd pay to see the entire Buffalo savers rock stirvers' RJ King?

1188
01:23:48,500 --> 01:23:51,500
Oh.

1189
01:23:51,500 --> 01:23:55,500
Do you know how much I would pay to fucking see that?

1190
01:23:55,500 --> 01:23:58,500
That would be hilarious to watch.

1191
01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:00,500
I would put my mortgage on the line for that.

1192
01:24:00,500 --> 01:24:01,500
I hope you know.

1193
01:24:01,500 --> 01:24:03,500
Oh yeah.

1194
01:24:03,500 --> 01:24:08,500
I'd fucking put pink sluts on my car for that.

1195
01:24:08,500 --> 01:24:11,500
That would be funny.

1196
01:24:11,500 --> 01:24:15,500
All right, Ethan, who's she got for the Atlantic here?

1197
01:24:15,500 --> 01:24:21,500
Yeah.

1198
01:24:21,500 --> 01:24:23,500
For the Atlantic.

1199
01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:25,500
All right, so eight to one again.

1200
01:24:25,500 --> 01:24:27,500
We have Buffalo.

1201
01:24:27,500 --> 01:24:29,500
We have Ottawa.

1202
01:24:29,500 --> 01:24:31,500
We have Montreal.

1203
01:24:31,500 --> 01:24:37,500
We have...

1204
01:24:37,500 --> 01:24:44,500
We have Toronto.

1205
01:24:44,500 --> 01:24:46,500
Fuck, man.

1206
01:24:46,500 --> 01:24:52,500
I'm going to put Tampa Bay out there.

1207
01:24:52,500 --> 01:25:02,500
Then Detroit, Boston, and then the defending Stanley Cup champions in the Florida Panthers.

1208
01:25:02,500 --> 01:25:05,500
All right, my eight to one.

1209
01:25:05,500 --> 01:25:07,500
Montreal, Ottawa.

1210
01:25:07,500 --> 01:25:13,500
For whatever reason, I have this minor league team in sixth place.

1211
01:25:13,500 --> 01:25:16,500
I don't know what it is, but a minor league team in sixth place.

1212
01:25:16,500 --> 01:25:18,500
Tampa in fifth.

1213
01:25:18,500 --> 01:25:22,500
Detroit finally making the playoffs again.

1214
01:25:22,500 --> 01:25:25,500
Just to lose in the first round again.

1215
01:25:25,500 --> 01:25:27,500
At least they at least get back to...

1216
01:25:27,500 --> 01:25:31,500
Just take the compliments that you guys are making the playoffs again.

1217
01:25:31,500 --> 01:25:33,500
Oh, I'll take it.

1218
01:25:33,500 --> 01:25:36,500
Watch this for the year that Detroit goes all the way.

1219
01:25:36,500 --> 01:25:37,500
I'd shit.

1220
01:25:37,500 --> 01:25:40,500
Oh, I would shit.

1221
01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:53,500
But if you think about it, now is the most potential that they will have because they have experienced players now in guys like Vladimir Tarasenko and Cam Talbot.

1222
01:25:53,500 --> 01:25:59,500
And the fact that they literally almost made it in last year, but only...

1223
01:25:59,500 --> 01:26:04,500
They have no... I'm going to pull a tile here and say they have absolutely no excuse this year.

1224
01:26:04,500 --> 01:26:13,500
But their team is the most stacked it has been in over a fucking decade.

1225
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:16,500
Like since the Zetterberg era.

1226
01:26:16,500 --> 01:26:21,500
I mean, like, let's call a fucking spade a spade here real quick.

1227
01:26:21,500 --> 01:26:28,500
And like, Detroit is the most stacked it has been damn near in my lifetime.

1228
01:26:28,500 --> 01:26:30,500
They have absolutely no...

1229
01:26:30,500 --> 01:26:33,500
I don't even give a shit if they lose in the first round.

1230
01:26:33,500 --> 01:26:37,500
They have no excuse to miss the playoffs this year.

1231
01:26:37,500 --> 01:26:38,500
Just meet the playoffs.

1232
01:26:38,500 --> 01:26:39,500
Just meet the playoffs.

1233
01:26:39,500 --> 01:26:40,500
That's all I want.

1234
01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:41,500
Just make the playoffs.

1235
01:26:41,500 --> 01:26:44,500
If they go deep into the playoffs.

1236
01:26:44,500 --> 01:26:45,500
Oh, I'm fucking ecstatic.

1237
01:26:45,500 --> 01:26:47,500
They make it to the cup final.

1238
01:26:47,500 --> 01:26:56,500
I'm going to be a little kid again because it'll be like the last time I watched Detroit when a cup back in 2008.

1239
01:26:56,500 --> 01:26:57,500
Yeah.

1240
01:26:57,500 --> 01:26:59,500
I'll say the same thing with us and dollars.

1241
01:26:59,500 --> 01:27:00,500
Just meet the fucking playoffs.

1242
01:27:00,500 --> 01:27:01,500
That's all I want.

1243
01:27:01,500 --> 01:27:04,500
Just meet the fucking playoffs.

1244
01:27:04,500 --> 01:27:15,500
But I think they are going to use Tarasenko to his absolute max because he is one now on the team with the most fucking playoffs experience.

1245
01:27:15,500 --> 01:27:19,500
Honestly, like that top six is going to be really insane.

1246
01:27:19,500 --> 01:27:21,500
Mine is Patrick Kane.

1247
01:27:21,500 --> 01:27:24,500
I always... I keep forgetting fucking Kane who's there.

1248
01:27:24,500 --> 01:27:27,500
Like I'm sorry, between those two players you got five stand-the-cups.

1249
01:27:27,500 --> 01:27:30,500
You got Kane in 10, 13, and 15.

1250
01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:33,500
You got Tarasenko in 17 and now in 24.

1251
01:27:33,500 --> 01:27:35,500
So you got five...

1252
01:27:35,500 --> 01:27:37,500
You got 13 as well for...

1253
01:27:37,500 --> 01:27:38,500
I said 13.

1254
01:27:38,500 --> 01:27:40,500
10, 13, 15.

1255
01:27:40,500 --> 01:27:41,500
Okay.

1256
01:27:41,500 --> 01:27:42,500
Yeah.

1257
01:27:42,500 --> 01:27:45,500
So you got five stand-the-cups between two players.

1258
01:27:45,500 --> 01:27:47,500
Two fucking players.

1259
01:27:47,500 --> 01:27:49,500
You have guys who know what it takes to win.

1260
01:27:49,500 --> 01:27:56,500
You have guys who know what hockey is like.

1261
01:27:56,500 --> 01:28:03,500
Like what you have to sacrifice to get to not only to the finals but to fucking win it all.

1262
01:28:03,500 --> 01:28:05,500
Like you at this point...

1263
01:28:05,500 --> 01:28:09,500
I promise you if Detroit even makes it to the final, I'll be over the fucking moon.

1264
01:28:09,500 --> 01:28:15,500
If they manage to somehow pull it out of their ass and raise Lord Stanley this year, I'll fucking cry.

1265
01:28:15,500 --> 01:28:17,500
Like I will hold...

1266
01:28:17,500 --> 01:28:19,500
There'll be a Cinderella story.

1267
01:28:19,500 --> 01:28:28,500
No, it'll 100% be a Cinderella story because again, it'll be the first time Detroit has raised the cup in 16 fucking years.

1268
01:28:28,500 --> 01:28:31,500
Like the last time they raised the cup, I was a little kid.

1269
01:28:31,500 --> 01:28:34,500
I remember watching them raise the cup.

1270
01:28:34,500 --> 01:28:35,500
I remember watching them.

1271
01:28:35,500 --> 01:28:38,500
Yeah, we were the summer between fourth and fifth grade.

1272
01:28:38,500 --> 01:28:39,500
Yeah.

1273
01:28:39,500 --> 01:28:40,500
Keep that in mind.

1274
01:28:40,500 --> 01:28:41,500
Yeah.

1275
01:28:41,500 --> 01:28:44,500
I'll say it was between my third and my fourth grade year.

1276
01:28:44,500 --> 01:28:45,500
So yeah.

1277
01:28:45,500 --> 01:28:54,500
So all I want them though is I just wanted to make the playoffs because they have zero excuse to miss them this year.

1278
01:28:54,500 --> 01:28:55,500
Agreed.

1279
01:28:55,500 --> 01:29:01,500
And if they miss the playoffs this year, then that tells me that they were not fucking pushing themselves.

1280
01:29:01,500 --> 01:29:07,500
And they were not giving 110% of themselves on that audience.

1281
01:29:07,500 --> 01:29:09,500
Alright, that's my rant.

1282
01:29:09,500 --> 01:29:10,500
Alright, my top three.

1283
01:29:10,500 --> 01:29:21,500
I got Toronto at three, Boston at two and no surprise Florida at numeral uno.

1284
01:29:21,500 --> 01:29:25,500
From my eight to one eighth place is the Montreal Canadiens.

1285
01:29:25,500 --> 01:29:28,500
Seventh place is the Ottawa Senators.

1286
01:29:28,500 --> 01:29:31,500
Sixth place is the Buffalo Sabres.

1287
01:29:31,500 --> 01:29:33,500
Fifth place is the Detroit Red Wings.

1288
01:29:33,500 --> 01:29:36,500
Fourth place is the Tampa Bay Lightning.

1289
01:29:36,500 --> 01:29:38,500
Third place is the Maple Leafs.

1290
01:29:38,500 --> 01:29:40,500
Seventh place is the Boston Bruins.

1291
01:29:40,500 --> 01:29:45,500
And number one is your defending Stanley Cup Champions of Florida Panthers.

1292
01:29:45,500 --> 01:29:51,500
It's honestly going to be a battle between Tampa and Detroit.

1293
01:29:51,500 --> 01:30:00,500
It's going to come down to those two battling it out for that final wild card spot.

1294
01:30:00,500 --> 01:30:03,500
Alright, Metro.

1295
01:30:03,500 --> 01:30:07,500
Eighth place is the Brute Jackets.

1296
01:30:07,500 --> 01:30:09,500
I'm sorry, you lost two stars.

1297
01:30:09,500 --> 01:30:15,500
One via trade, one via unfortunate, dumb accident.

1298
01:30:15,500 --> 01:30:19,500
Number seven, I got shit, I mean Philadelphia.

1299
01:30:19,500 --> 01:30:22,500
Number six, I got the Crappitals.

1300
01:30:22,500 --> 01:30:25,500
Five, I have the Devils.

1301
01:30:25,500 --> 01:30:32,500
Fourth place, maybe making that second wild card spot, maybe not, depending on how the Atlantic winds up.

1302
01:30:32,500 --> 01:30:34,500
The Pittsburgh Retirement Homes.

1303
01:30:34,500 --> 01:30:36,500
I mean, Pittsburgh payments.

1304
01:30:36,500 --> 01:30:38,500
Number three, I got the Islanders.

1305
01:30:38,500 --> 01:30:40,500
Number two, Carolina.

1306
01:30:40,500 --> 01:30:45,500
And you guessed it, the blue coats at the number one in the Metro.

1307
01:30:45,500 --> 01:30:47,500
Right on.

1308
01:30:47,500 --> 01:30:50,500
So, yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Colin.

1309
01:30:50,500 --> 01:30:52,500
Number eight, Columbus.

1310
01:30:52,500 --> 01:30:54,500
It's an unfortunate thing though.

1311
01:30:54,500 --> 01:30:56,500
I feel bad for him.

1312
01:30:56,500 --> 01:31:01,500
Number seven, give me the Capitals.

1313
01:31:01,500 --> 01:31:04,500
Number six, give me the Flyers.

1314
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:11,500
Number five, I'm actually going to put Pittsburgh.

1315
01:31:11,500 --> 01:31:20,500
I'm going to say they're just going to miss the cusp of a playoff, Berth.

1316
01:31:20,500 --> 01:31:23,500
Alright, fair enough.

1317
01:31:23,500 --> 01:31:28,500
Number four, I'm going to do Jersey.

1318
01:31:28,500 --> 01:31:34,500
Number three, give me Carolina.

1319
01:31:34,500 --> 01:31:37,500
Number two, the Isles.

1320
01:31:37,500 --> 01:31:46,500
And yeah, number one, I'm going to have the blue coats taken the Metro, which I would say those are my second favorite team.

1321
01:31:46,500 --> 01:31:48,500
Nice.

1322
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:54,500
So, eighth place, I have, unfortunately, I had the Columbus blue jackets.

1323
01:31:54,500 --> 01:32:01,500
One thing I do know for sure, even though they are going to be dead last, unfortunately, in the Metro this year.

1324
01:32:01,500 --> 01:32:10,500
But I think they are going to be really playing for pride, just for pride this year, and all in all, honestly.

1325
01:32:10,500 --> 01:32:14,500
Seventh place, I have the Washington Capitals.

1326
01:32:14,500 --> 01:32:19,500
Sixth place, I have the Pittsburgh Penguins.

1327
01:32:19,500 --> 01:32:23,500
Fifth place, I have the New York Islanders.

1328
01:32:23,500 --> 01:32:27,500
Fourth place, I have the Philadelphia Flyers.

1329
01:32:27,500 --> 01:32:30,500
Third place, I have New Jersey Devils.

1330
01:32:30,500 --> 01:32:39,500
Second place, I have the Carolina Hurricanes, and then number one, the Big Apple, the New York Rangers.

1331
01:32:39,500 --> 01:32:42,500
Alright, that's not bad.

1332
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:46,500
Do you have any other news? Any other big things?

1333
01:32:46,500 --> 01:32:48,500
Not really.

1334
01:32:48,500 --> 01:32:53,500
I really can't say too much of anything.

1335
01:32:53,500 --> 01:32:55,500
Yeah, I don't know.

1336
01:32:55,500 --> 01:32:58,500
Alright, well, that wraps up here.

1337
01:32:58,500 --> 01:33:04,500
You know, opening night for the bookbusters, I know we're late, and we got to apologize, but you know.

1338
01:33:04,500 --> 01:33:09,500
Life has gotten in the way, but that's, it is what it is.

1339
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:17,500
I say definitely, hopefully, I say by the time, maybe one, right, hopefully, by the time the holidays are over, I think,

1340
01:33:17,500 --> 01:33:22,500
we should hopefully be more back to normal on that, to what we have been the last.

1341
01:33:22,500 --> 01:33:31,500
Hopefully by the month of November, maybe December, we're back in our regular schedule and programming here.

1342
01:33:31,500 --> 01:33:33,500
Just social media, you know.

1343
01:33:33,500 --> 01:33:36,500
We'll try to keep you up to date as much as we can.

1344
01:33:36,500 --> 01:33:43,500
I know we've been kind of, like, our professional account hasn't been too active up until a couple weeks,

1345
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:48,500
like maybe a week or two ago, but personal accounts are obviously always active.

1346
01:33:48,500 --> 01:33:50,500
So, yeah, keep an eye out for it.

1347
01:33:50,500 --> 01:33:53,500
Otherwise, we will see you guys in the next one. Peace.

1348
01:33:53,500 --> 01:34:14,500
See ya. Bye!
