What's going on, everybody? My name is Bobo.
Welcome back to your Bug Pusters podcast. I'm
surrounded by my fun loving co -hosts. How's
it going? Happy New Year. First episode of the
new year. I do apologize I haven't been in the
studio. I've had a lot of family stuff, a lot
of stuff going on the last few episodes. Unfortunately,
every weekend we had... different sets of family
come up. My dad's side came up one weekend. My
mom's side came up one weekend. An uncle I haven't
seen for a while came up last weekend. It's like,
man, I haven't been here for three weeks and
I feel bad. Well, we didn't record a lot. We
haven't recorded in three weeks. Well, I'm saying
prior. Yeah. I think you only missed two. I thought
you missed three. I think we recorded three in
a row because we knew we were going to take like
two and three weeks. I think that's what it is.
I missed the two in a row. Yeah. Yeah. Hope you
all had it. Very safe and happy new year. It'll
be a lot of nice holidays. Yeah, got fresh heads
on the new year and ready to start this. My head's
not fresh. What are you talking about? What are
you talking about, Lois? This is the fifth year
of the Buckwester podcast. Oh yeah. Yeah? I can
make you all feel a little less awesome than
the other days. We are now just as close to 2030
as we are to 2020. It's been five years since
2020. Does that even feel real? I mean kind of
sordid because COVID felt like 27 years in itself.
Honestly, yeah. I feel like... 2020 alone was
like... I still see people walking around with
masks on. So do I. It's been done for two years
now. Well, they say someone from the CDC, someone
who makes a fuck ton more money than I do...
says that if you walk around with the mask, it's
still a good preventative to getting stuff like
the flu, and you're calm and cold. So a lot of
people are starting to wear more and more masks.
What I don't do is cough and get cold, and people
still think, oh, you should go get tested for
COVID. I'm a janitor for a kindergarten. I mean,
that would be just my luck to get COVID in 2025.
I've been tested twice for COVID already. Think
that when it was a thing because I worked in
restaurants, you know always you know always
interacting with customers always interacting
with other co -workers I came to the contact.
I Think it was I had to get it tested. I think
a total of ten times and I never once Yeah, I
do where you were I? Know I gotta get tested
again. Well, that's how it is with teachers in
the little kindergartners It's like they the
parents will send their kids to school sick as
a dog And it's like, oh, they say they're sick.
Oh, you're just lying. And yet, they throw up.
And they have to go home at 10 AM. So you can't
believe you got sick at school. Like, I told
you I was fucking sick. Yeah. Kids all smiling,
fucking cute, staying like the Joker. I told
you so. You want to know why I got these scars?
It's because I threw up too much because you
sent me to school. Hey, mom. I'm sick. The nurse.
Crazy thing that we're already halfway through
the 20s the 20s already Youngest person here
is the year 25 years old. So I mean 23rd is gonna
be a lot of fun And also we're also just as close
to 2050 as we are 22 ,000 It's crazy Yeah back
in studio new ish studio just a different different
room in the same studio that we've been recording
in yeah if that makes sense different room with
a different layout yeah but i think it's gonna
work out pretty well i think we got the mic set
up and everything here looking pretty good and
sounding pretty good so a bunch of tests and
uh hopefully you guys like it the new setup and
uh yeah bounce right into talking about some
some football i'm just kidding some hockey uh
when we start some football this might get pretty
vulgar yeah well it's gonna get vulgar regardless
because of a situation that happens here we go
it's just tears at this point i'll say one thing
though like colin was right he's been nagging
not nagging but just saying it for years oh no
he's been nagging it's not saying he's at this
point he's just been saying it for years now
that to mike bellman wasn't the answer but he
was and that he sucks and that he needs to go
you know boba i haven't cried for the first four
and a half minutes i'm gonna say something now
i wasn't nagging go fuck yourself okay this is
the first time i've talked to him all episode
Wasn't nagging Nagging is only nagging is like
for like forcing it or like, you know Constant
but it was just every time it came up in conversation
which obviously you're gonna talk about it Oh,
yeah, but I told Colin Like halfway through the
season we're like nine and three. I was getting
cocky. I was getting hyped up I was like, let's
fucking go this this could be the year He was
oh, you know, we're just gonna go to the plus
I'm losing the first round anyways, right? I'm
like, I'm like We'll see what happens, you know,
I didn't think it was gonna happen and I took
home I said, you know Colin I'll tell you right
now if the Seals don't win at least one playoff
game I will shut the fuck up and never defend
Mike Tomlin again, and I will tell you were right
and guess what happened It's it's been I I've
just given up on him for a couple years now.
It seems like it's like a routine, like a carousel,
a carousel of student season. You know, we make
a couple big pickups, you know, we start off
the season hot, you know, go 9 -3, you know,
8 -4, whatever. I think this past off -season,
one of our best off -seasons we've had in years.
Yeah, we have these great off -seasons, we make
that, we pick up these great, you know, big acquisitions.
Obviously this past off -season being, you know,
Russell and Justin. In the field, Deshaun Elliott,
um, defensive guy, Patrick Queen. Yeah, and then
we start off fucking fantastic, you know, 9 -3,
8 -4, whatever. And then... You know, as soon
as Thanksgiving rolls around, as soon as the
month of December rolls around, January, that's
just when they start going downhill. And it's
like, okay, great, here we go again! Instead
of here we go to Steele, it's here we go again!
Here we go, again, bar fist! We've lost the last
four games of the regular season. I mean, all
very tough matchups to begin with, which is why
it wasn't... I wasn't all that worried, really.
I mean, we know how to beat Baltimore. We've
beaten Baltimore before. We've beaten them in
Baltimore before. We did it this year. I think
this year was the first time the Ravens have
beaten us in like four years or something like
that that I saw. They lost four times to fucking
Kenny Pickett. Three times to Kenny Pickett once
to fucking Mitch Trubinsky. But then they can
go ahead and beat Ross or Wilson? I don't know.
The lease that's right. I thought I texted the
Gertrude and said I said guys, this is how Maple
Leaf fans feel Fuck man said they will at least
the Maple Leafs can fucking win a playoff game,
but anyways Enough talking about football. Let's
move on to the sport that we know a little bit
about in hockey Otter's hockey specifically one
main thing that we want to talk about here in
a minute But we'll talk about how they have done
since we took our break So the record says we
took our break. That's the day, if, well we were
there, I think we recorded after the London game.
Yeah, we, that's the time we recorded was on
there. The 23rd, I believe. It was like the Sunday
before Christmas. So 22nd. So again, you know,
right after they started the holiday break. So
the first game back would have been like Guelph
game on the 28th. Yeah, four to two win over
Guelph, five to four. New Year's Eve went over
the Bulldogs. That's the game we had a nice comeback
in. Yeah, because we were up two to one at one
point going into the third. Then they had back
-to -back goals and then we had three straight
goals. One from Frasca, one from Alfie, and one
from Royston. And then we start off the new year
with two straight with back -to -back losses
on back -to -back nights three to one to the
Rangers and 75 75 7 to 5 to the Spitz I mean,
that's kind of expected. I mean those are two
to the top three teams in the league right now
So I mean, I mean what else are you gonna expect
from that? I think what was crazy about the Windsor
one literally like five minutes in five minutes
of the game three boom three unanswered goals
from Erie and then me like Well, it was like
it was what eight minutes into the game and already
all four goaltenders had seen time. Yeah No,
I it was 1326 the third Windsor goal was scored
by being green three and that's when Noah got
pulled in that Therefore charter came and be
the fourth goaltender playing that game on the
eighth of five before overtime went in Guelph
And then this past weekend came home for another
two more losses six to two to the spirit and
five to three just last night the 11th to the
state so yeah uh the thing that is fresh on our
minds obviously everybody's heard about it by
now even if you're not an otter fan or not an
otter fan or not even an oil fan if you're a
hockey fan in general you've heard about it kona
mcdavid night kona mcdavid getting his number
97 retired and thrown up into the rafters at
the air insurance arena When it was that was
turned out to be a really nice ceremony really
nice ceremony just been way longer than we expected
I think we predicted it to be maybe happy amount
of time that yeah, the Ryan Miller one was it
was actually right about 40 minutes and I think
right now is like 45 50 so This is from the time
from the time that they started like bringing
everything out speaking to the time that they
got everything off I think the game didn't even
start until I think it's closer to eight o 'clock
So but I'm right about that because we ever we
I don't think we got home I didn't get home till
it was 11 at night, so And I know a lot of people
drove out from like Pittsburgh I know I heard
that some people driving all the way up from
like Georgia and like South Carolina Florida
I heard I heard there were a couple people from
Canada that made the trip down I could only assume
that there's a bunch of oiler fans I tried I
did see some Michigan fans because obviously
Saginaw fans came in and out I saw a couple Saginaw
fans do yeah Yeah, man Such an awesome night,
man. I mean just I mean I made fun of my girlfriend
a couple months ago when she was she went to
one of the Taylor Swift concerts in Toronto or
whatever She's like, oh my god. I'm 200 feet
away from Taylor Swift. And now I was there and
I was like, oh my god I'm 100 feet away from
Conor McFadden. I kind of know how she felt in
that moment. Holy shit, he's right there. Too
bad his back was to us, but I mean, obviously
you can see him on the... He made sure that he
turned around and acknowledged people behind
him too, so that was... Pretty awesome that he
did that. He pretty much turned around and made
sure he acknowledged the entire place. And he
had made a joke. He goes, thanks for showing
up. I didn't think that many people would be
here. But just being here for that man was, or
being there for that was. Once in a lifetime
thing. It's incredible to see. I mean, that's
a once in a lifetime player. A generation of
talent. Like what Sean Baton said during the
ceremonies, the Peter Rowe pizza. Gretzky era
then Ramoushki with Sidney Crosby in the queue
and then again with the OHL Conor McDavid with
the Iriotters so I think it was kind of like
we got a generational talent like Conor McDavid.
The only one that I can see maybe from the W
eventually doing that is Bedard but I think he
needs I mean he's not a bad player he's not he
just there's a lot more I think he needs to accomplish
or he can accomplish. in the NHL. The amount
he accomplished in the WHL alone I think is good
enough to get his number retired there. He's
a lot more to accomplish in the NHL so far though.
He just needs to be on the team that knows how
to win games basically. Also you've got to give
it time. Look at Conrad in his early days. Look
at Crosby in his early days. The early career
at Edmonton or others. You know, with David's
career, and then Penguin's early in Crosby's
career, they both fucking sucked! I think Crosby's
rookie year, I think we still finish like, ninth
or tenth in the conference or something like
that. Yeah, both teams fucking sucked, and look
where they are now. I mean, obviously with David
still doesn't have a ring on his finger. He'll
get it. I mean, look at Crosby, you know, a couple
seasons in, and he lost his first... There's
not many players that you can say that have a
Con Smythe but don't have a Stanley Cup. Can
you see Bedard being one of the nice faces of
the... He is one of the young faces. He's definitely
one of the next faces of the league, for sure.
This younger core, I mean, I could still consider
all in the same era, you know, McDavid. But even
Bedard can still be considered in the same era,
I think. How the hell did he get in there? That
scared me. The cat -given. Our unofficial mascot.
McDavid, Matthews, Marner. Dry side old you you
got you got the old older faces of the league
and Ovi and Ovi and Crosby stroke. Go let's go
Malkin Stamco's Tavares, you know those old guys
The mid -tier guys the middle -aged men of you
know, McDavid Matthews Marner and you got the
young guys, you know, you got Who's the guy on
San Jose? Celebrating so really you are dark
like some of these younger guys who you know?
came in post -COVID. You gotta think, you know,
like, the way I see it, you've got like three
decades of generations. Three generations all
in our generation that we're watching right now,
which is crazy. Yeah, so you've got the players
who draft anywhere between 2000 and 09, the 09
draft, which was Tavares' draft. I think Tveras'
draft was the last one and then you got the 10
through 19, which, like I said, includes Marner,
Matthews, McKinnon, like those guys that, you
know, are established but still have a long way
to go. Another one that we just saw, I think
it was this afternoon or last night that we saw,
I didn't even know his number was getting retired,
was Eric Staal. That's another one of that era.
Yeah, he was 03, the same draft as Furia. Thinking
what's second overall behind Flourie, I believe.
I think what's kind of funny about McDavid's
banner... How do we not mention Flourie when
we were just talking about the greatest players
of our generation? We're just so used to talking
about him that everybody knows that he's... I
think we're more focused on scanners than we
care about Flourie. And with all due respect,
yeah. I mean, we can't leave out the Flourie.
Like, what's kind of funny, like, with McDavid's
banner, like... I really thought about it last...
like last week in last weekend's games against
like Windsor now calling over kind of just hanging
out by the glass for warm -ups that night and
I'm like I'm like now I think about it like now
I can see why they updated the because the banners
because they updated on Vince Scott's banner
and Brad Boyce and the guy and that was two years
ago they issued two seasons because I remember
I brought up to Kyle when we went to training
camp I'm like, I noticed, I'm like, oh, they
changed their banners. And then I'm like, now
with, when they, after David got his announcement,
I'm like, now it kind of makes sense why they
updated them because they wanted to make them
kind of all. That the pieces will finally come
together and the gears are finally turning in
our brand. It's like, oh, duh, that's, that's
why they're out here. And then plus you think,
plus even though we didn't know it for a while,
like it was. in the works for a couple years,
and it's just a matter of... We were just waiting
for all the pieces to fall right into place,
and... McDavid had to be able to have that time
to make the trip up, and he just happened to
be, you know, play the game in Pittsburgh Thursday
night, and then he came to Chicago Saturday night,
so it was literally just perfect to be able to
drive up to Erie, and then make the trip over
to Chicago the next morning, so... Yeah. He just
made it perfectly into that, so... I mean, that
whole night as a whole was just absolutely nostalgic.
I mean, the jersey Jeffy's wearing that they
got to wear for the game. I turned to them, I
said, man, I said POV, it's 2013 and you're at
the EAA watching the Eerie Otters and Connor
McDavid. The golden hair, it's not considered
in that way. Four straight seasons of 50 plus
wins. I don't know, I mean, it's just so nostalgic
to be there and watch them play with those jerseys.
And it was kind of, honestly, a cool scene. The
current guys, it's just kind of a cool scene
of like... The person that I think fit the most
in and I felt like was Pano. Pano really rocked
that style of jersey. Obviously we wish the outcome
of the game could have been a little bit better.
I actually was telling Kyle at the game, I kind
of... I'm hoping maybe in a few years daughters
would consider this like I said bring that back
as like an alternate bring as an alternate I
said as much as I like the silver ones keep the
keep the blue the white and the gold but have
like as a throwback like a throwback secondary
alternate either bring this one or want this
version of the so the brad boys era yeah like
colors I got like the gradient going up I really
wish that number one that the OHL as a whole
would do like a throwback jersey and have all
20 teams do like a throwback jersey after dark
jerseys. Oh any any jersey I should say. I think
there's definitely a great opportunity or number
two potentially have an outdoor style game. I
know, I think, Kyle, I didn't know you brought
this up on Twitter, about doing it at the UTS,
or at UPMC, right next door. I didn't say it,
somebody else said it, but I said, I still don't
know how I can see them fitting an ice rink on
that field, just with the way it's laid out,
and plus the seating too, just, with how the
seating is in that stadium, like, it would be
hard to make it happen there. Outfield. doing
it in the outfield, and then obviously you got
the cheaper seats in the normal seats of the
bowls, and then the more expensive seats you
can get up closer to where the rink is. And even
on the other side, obviously you got the normal
maintenance stuff inside the EIA right there,
and the access in the outfield, center field.
Bring shit around, guess what? Right on the ice,
do your normal thing. Even if they had to go
travel out of the movement way, if they wanted
to make it work, go to like PNC or something.
Even if they would make, even if they would do
like a lot of companies like rent bleachers,
even if they pay a company to rent X amount of
bleachers to go set up the night before the game,
you know, clean them out, tear them down the
night after. and then that way they can fit everybody
in the baseball they can fit everybody in that
stands you have good views 360 degrees whether
you're against eia whether you're in the outfield
towards the back in the skyline whether you're
in the actual seats they can have bleachers they
can put it on like a tee so yeah but you have
a set of bleachers going north you have a set
of bleachers coming west and they just make a
tee no no no no no hear me out here in london
You travel up to Buffalo, play at Highmark Field
or wherever the football stadium is. The Battle
of Lake Erie. Right there. Where they meet paths.
That would be cool. Even Lake Erie and Niagara.
Cause Niagara's right there in the lake too.
That would be cool. Or have like a three way
or a... a three -way game or a four -way game.
Yeah, say reword that. You can try again. Three
teams do a round robin or even do a four -team
round robin. If there's another team, you have
Niagara, you have London, you have Erie, if there's
another team right there. That's known by Hamilton,
I'd say. Or Brantford now, but Brantford. What
were some of the places we passed on the way
up to Toronto? Niagara, London. Niagara, London,
Brampton. Brampton, Brantford. Brantford. Mississauga.
Well, Mississauga. Peterborough is not too far
out of Toronto. Well, Mississauga. Peterborough
would be on the other side of Toronto. I think
it's up north, but it's not too far out of Toronto.
Yeah, it's on the other side of Toronto from
my side. I feel like if you were between, you
know, us of London and Buffalo or Toronto, south
of Toronto kind of thing. Colin and I both saw
signs for both Mississauga and what was the other
city Kyle just said? Brantford, Hamilton. We
both saw Asada's, but they were way... We see
that they can make it work for any level. I mean,
college in the Big Ten, college just did it.
They played at, what was it, Ohio Stadium? What
did they play? I thought it was Notre Dame. Or
was it Wrigley? It was Wrigley. Wrigley. They
played at Wrigley. I think it was Penn State,
Notre Dame, which ironically ended up being the
championship that Penn State lost, fucking Notre
Dame. And I think it was Michigan and Ohio State
as well. And it ended up being really cool. I
mean, I'm watching a little bit of... The Ohio
State one. What if they would even do it at like
Mercyhurst College or like Gannon University?
We don't have the field capacity for that. I
mean, unless if you do it somewhere like Vett
Stadium, which Vett Stadium needs a lot of work.
The field itself is nice, just the stands itself.
I see where you're coming from. That's what I
was thinking, like a big college like Gannon.
Gannon has like 7 ,500 person capacity. It's
like that would be kind of cool to get everybody
downtown here because I'm what happens you bring
in business Get a drink downtown here everybody
give us some local bars You all the sudden all
these bars don't sell start selling what merchandise
you start? That area along with just yeah, I
don't think it'd be nice to try to give it a
shot, but also Also that you're gonna face this
problem, you know regardless of where you go,
but it's Gannon vets. Whatever I know Eerie isn't
the best at parking. And as soon as you go to
the A .A. or the ballpark where there are garages
there, good fucking luck. There's a couple parking
garages right downtown. There's one right in
the hospital right there. There's one right in
the hospital. There's one. There's one for your
insurance. And there's one right under your insurance.
So it's like, make it five dollar event parking.
Well, which is kind of what it is right now.
Well still you you get people in there and then
make it, you know You can have people We definitely
have the weapons if you want to say we definitely
have the puzzle the pieces for it Yeah, just
putting the puzzle together to make it happen
It'd be very difficult. Yeah. How I know we say,
you have the piece of the puzzle dumped on the
floor. You just have to take the time to figure
out, put it together. And it would take quite
a while. Like we're talking about a thousand
piece puzzle here. I actually fucking liked it.
To make it happen here, we've got a thousand
piece puzzle here. Yeah. And it's just, we have
pieces in the corner, the cat took a couple of
the pieces. The dog ate the piece, you have to
dig out a pile of poop. You might not have the
best moments, the smartest moments, but when
you do, oh my god, they work. They work. Going
back to it, 15 minute sidetrack there. The Outers
game on Friday night, like I said, I wish we
had a better outcome, man. I wish we had better
refs in the OHL. Yeah, I was going to say, you
know what the hope is? The fucking officiating
crews getting their shit together. for those
others fans that don't know um the situation
with ty hendry getting suspended i still don't
think they have that was pretty hysterical i
was laughing my butt off it's it's ridiculous
at this point apparently this is all from what
i saw and what a lot of other people said they
saw too time every had someone went over and
said something to one of the linesman which they
believe it was the female linesman and she must
not have liked it she went and told the head
head almost a head hump the head ref which he
then he pretty much gave her the okay and she
sent him off and he was done for the night so
i don't know what was said obviously they never
released what happened was and they would say
Suspended for his actions in this such -and -such
game. They never say exactly what happened or
exactly what was done like they do in the NHL
Oh, you know so -and -so was suspended for six
games for his cross -check to the head on so
-and -so, you know They just say oh suspended
for his actions in this game. They don't tell
you they never tell you exactly what he did in
the NHL They don't and I would think it's stupid
I feel like just like I think it's stupid how
they don't share when a player is injured Which
I understand that, especially if it's like the
16, 17 year olds. I think they can make it a
difference between the 16, 17 year olds and then
the adults, the 18 year old players, you know.
Especially the over -agers? I feel like it was
for the minors, like if their parents are like,
yeah whatever, we all sign off on this and you
can release whatever info. He's a professional
now. That's one point, but if you get no permission
slip or whatever you want to call it as, then
no. You're kind of you're kind of asshole out
there man. The thing that this man was like that
with time being suspended But you know a couple
weeks ago might have been closer like two months
there was It was thought or heard of that one
of Erie's games in Kitchener I saw One of Erie's
games, I think it was in Erie we played Kitchener.
Yeah it's still pending. Well it says game with
conduct and parentheses. Some will be there's
one or two Kitchener players that everybody thought
they had overheard Racial slurs being thrown
at Ty Henry. Ty Henry, out of anger, slams his
stick on the glass going into the penalty box
because he had gotten the penalty for something.
Apparently his penalty kitchen didn't like, they
screamed some obscenities at him. He got pissed
off about it and I think he ended up getting
thrown out of that game as well. Number one,
racial slurs aren't cool, no matter what sport
you play. That should never, what Jeffy said,
in general. The NFL, you get fined like $2 ,500
for saying these words. And whether it's modern
society or sports, we need to fucking cut that
out. We all need to love one another like we're
brothers. With that happening, those players
got nothing for that. I think they got suspended
for something else in that game. But again, how
are we supposed to know? Because they didn't
say it. They just said, for his actions in this
game. They don't tell you what he did. Which
I think that is the dumbest fucking thing in
the league. I'll help the commissioner was there
for me David night and half of the half the crowd
bring out booze instead of Jared nice Yeah, I
think I was the only one he's bringing in we're
still building. I think this is his first year
as the the commission It was just he still got
booed Brian Crawford Yeah, then that is a whole
new alumni guys they're one of the radical guys
down in the ice No, not neither one of them.
No, I said it's just a nice image quick. That's
in the picture was there Who else was down on
the house? Kyle Pettit. Kyle Pettit and McDougal?
McDermott? His name was Abraham. Was it Abraham?
I don't know. But you know, I'm just getting
confused with all the players that, you know,
had sent a video message in too, you know. You
know, Crisp, Connor Brown, Shermer, obviously
ADB. Just a whole bunch of known, you know, Fogel.
I wonder if Paul sent any in. Cause Paul was
working there. Yeah, that night is a whole kind
of disappointed Abraham it was there, okay? Yeah,
I mean, but I'll see the ceremony just or Can't
speak Bobo can sit. How was the jersey time?
I said everything but the game was good The whole
I mean whole the whole ceremony was yeah Yeah,
I don't work Friday night running Sherry Bass
and which was pretty cool to see them back in
every two, so yeah He's the one that sold the
team to Jim Waters, and you know that said he
even said that became kind of touching They made
you know talk about Jim for a couple minutes
as well Yeah, I mean just nostalgic with it from
the jerseys to all the players You know sending
sending messages in and just I'll see me just
let alone that Jesus being back in the building
was Just absolutely incredible you know you know
his wife that he just married over the summer
was here The waters family came in and they were
here. That's cool yeah that was awesome to see
that just as a whole just absolutely touching
for yeah just an unforgettable night i'm sure
for con not just conor david i think that's kind
of cool with um mcdavid being the first overall
for eerie with only three otters being drafted
first so i thought it was kind of cool mcdavid
and schaeffer kind of had that moment and that
because with both of them being First overall,
I mean when you know all those players were shitting
their pants and that video where he comes in
and you know Announces the starting lineup. They're
probably They're part of the pilot kids in the
candy. I mean they are kids They're probably
kids in a candy store like holy shit. Connor
dude standing right here. Yeah Or an all -you
-can -eat buffet anything a lot of them like
when me David what? Was with the odd lot of them
were like When we were like six, seven, maybe
eight years old. When he was in here. Cause we
were freshmen in high school. I was a freshman
in high school. McDavid's only seven months older
than what I am. He's two years and five months
older than me. He's January of 97. I would have
been a sophomore when he got drafted. I was a
freshman, but no. He had dropped to 2015. So
I would have been a... That was my junior going
into senior year. That was my sophomore going
into junior year. So I would have been a freshman,
okay. Baby. Yeah, it's funny that I'm only like
five months younger than Jeff, but it was a whole
grade behind him. It's not the whole nightmare,
I'm just absolutely incredible. It's just such
an honor for the only Joe as a whole to be able
to say that Connor McDavid came from our league.
Even bigger honor for Erie to say he played in
this building. Even when this building looked
like shit, he played in this building. It could
only hold 6 ,000 people, now we can hold up to
7 ,200 a standing room and suites and club level.
The team played like shit, and Erie looked like
shit. It was fitting. Great! Even David the agent
made a joke about that. He goes, back when Connor's
first start, the arena didn't look that good,
the fan base wasn't as good as it is right now.
It's an honor to say Conor played here. I think
we're always going to be able to brag about that,
hey, we got to watch him play. I got to watch
Conor McDavid play for $10. Suck my ass. All
right, moving on, Jeffy, what you got for milestones?
Just a couple before going into milestones and
use a couple suspensions and hirings. Jet Luchenko
the glove storm suspended two games for a crosscheck
penalty against Malcolm Spence on the January
8th, which That one was was really high I did
watch I didn't see it didn't watch that one.
How high Snoop Dogg dog Connor Clutterbird firebird
suspended which which is also pending not sure
what how many games, but for a check to the head
count on Noah Jenkins of the Gwell Storm. For
example, the Ty Henry one, if they go through
and they say, okay, he's only suspended for two
games, does that mean he's able to play next
game because he already sat out two games? Or
is it two additional games from the time that
they - I'm assuming it's two additional games.
That's so dumb, dude. Okay. Anyway. That's what
I - He only sat out one, sorry. He was misconducted
and then sat out one. And then Flint Firebird's
head coach Paul Fletch finds and suspended five
games and he has a fine of $2 ,500 for both players'
safety and welfare of the league, which I don't
know with welfare of the league and that safety.
Yeah, it's weird. And then as for hiring, starting
at Sting hired David Modus as an assistant head
coach. He actually played 220 games and won the
World Cup with the Sioux Grayhounds back in 1993.
Speaking of numbers, really quick, sorry to cut
you off. One other thing about Connor McDavid,
somebody posted this to the uncensored group
on Facebook. Connor McDavid, in his OHL career,
scored 97 goals in his OHL career. Wow. I think
that's honestly kind of fitting. It's just so
ironic, it's hilarious. I love it. And starting
back on the 28th of December, Ryder Leiners of
the Brantford Bulldogs played in his 100th career
OHL game versus Owen Santat. Then on the 31st,
Lucas Moorer of the Brantford Bulldogs played
in his 200th career OHL game versus Yuri Otters.
And then Hendrick of the Kitchen Rangers gets
his first career OHL goal versus North Bay Battalion.
Jared Harding of the Brantford Steelheads gets
his first career OHL goal versus Sudbury Wolves.
Landon Simm of the London Knights gets his first
career OHL hat -trick versus Sarnia Sting. And
on January 1st, Anthony Fuglomeni of the Oshawa
Generals gets his first career OHL goal versus
Owen Stone Attack. Kieran Durving of the Kingston
Frontenats gets his first career OHL goal versus
the Brantford Steelheads. You know on the start
on the third Josh Kalam Sino of the Flint Firebirds
gets his first career in the gold with the Ottawa
67 NC 39 saves Zachary Joe Anosky of the Guelph
Storm gets his first career OHL shutout. We're
still on a sound attack And then on the fifth
Patrick Thomas gets I Don't know why I didn't
put I think he was on Brantford as well. Gets
his 200th career OHO point versus the Auto 67s.
Tanner Wingard of the Windsor Spitfire gets his
first career OHO goal versus the Niagara Ice
Dogs. And then Ethan Toms of the Oxford Generals
gets his first career OHO goal versus the Flint
Firebirds. And then on January 8th, Quinn McCall
of the Erie Arbors gets his first career OHO
point off of Alex Nestea's goal, first of all
stolen. Matthew Mania of the Plunk Fibers played
in his 200th career OHO game against the Bramford
Bulldogs. And then on January 9th, Sender Goudon
of the Kingsend Frontenac gets his 100th career
OHO goal, first of North Bay Battalion. And then
on January 10th, Alex Azadorian of the Niagara
Ice Dogs played in his 200th career OHL game
versus Sudbury Wolves. Even Evan Cohen of the
Front Firebirds gets his 100th career OHL assist
off of Sam McHugh, goal, first to go off storm.
You mean Ethan Cohen, right? McGor, McGorin played
in his 200th career OHL game and then Michael
Misa of the Saginaw Spirit gets his 200th career
OHL point versus Erie Otters and he is the fastest
to reach 200 points with the Saginaw Spirit at
148 games passing Ryan, Ryan McDonough at 168
games played which he's been... incredible Michael
Lisa and then as of today the 11th Jenick Ulla
of the Peterborough Peace gets his one gets his
first career OHL goal versus Brantford Bulldogs
Parker Vaughn of the North Bay Botanic gets his
first career OHL goal versus Brantford the Steelheads
Christian Humphrey of the Christian Rangers gets
his first career OHL goal versus the Barrett
Colts. Nice. Hell yeah. And then as of since
World Juniors did have I kind of want to touch
up on that. Oh yeah I was literally about to
say that. All I got to say about the World Juniors
is OH MAMA! Team USA back -to -back chance. Let's
fucking go. First time. It's our sport now. I
saw the fact that this is the first time that
the... U .S. has ever done back to back. I commented
that on a bar down post of the video like there
at the gold medal game or whatever. Excuse me.
And I just commented, oh mom I don't and then
somebody got pissed off and like oh you're lucky
and I said it's our sport now shut up back to
back champs and they did not like that very much.
I got a lot of shit for that they do not appreciate
that one. One day I saw this um it was kind of
crazy thing Latavia Upset in Canada, like...
Latvia, yeah. No. Yeah, we won the... Yeah, well,
I know. ...finity round for that, which was kind
of... It was funny seeing that. And we went on
to lose to, what was it? Finland. Finland, not
Finland. Is Finland the only one we lost to?
Finland was the only one we lost to. Which, I'm
not going to be upset. The Finns are decently...
Mid -pack, mid -pack. I mean, obviously, they
were... They probably played in the final, too,
wasn't it? Yep. Yeah. Because they beat Sweden.
Yeah, I'm not going to complain about losing
to Finland in that round -robin. It is what it
is. Yeah. At least we didn't lose to Latvia.
Hey, at least nobody lost to Kazakhstan. Very
nice. Very nice. I saw the fact that in Czech
vs Sweden, in the bronze medal round, I guess
in that bronze medal matchup, That began the
longest shootout in the tournament with 14 rounds.
Yeah, it was crazy. This was crazy. Wild. That'd
be like fourth or fifth longest in NHL history,
I believe. I know there's been a couple that
have gone to like 15 in the NHL, and I think
the longest ever is 20, if I'm not mistaken.
I want to say it was Washington and Florida,
because I know Luongo is one of the goaltenders.
I thought I remember Oshie shooting and scoring
at some point. end of the year, obviously. I
want to say like 2015. Obviously, the Long Bowl
has still been around. 2014. December 16, 2014.
I'm close enough to 2015. Nick Bukestad actually
scored the game -winner. Was it against the Capitals?
Yeah, against the Caps. I don't remember if it
was the Long Bowl or one of the goalies. I thought
I remember it being against Washington. I thought
it was was touching as well for Team Canada,
I mean Team USA. On the third locker they had
Johnny and Matthew Gujra as well. Yeah they had
a Gujra hanging up throughout the whole tournament,
yeah. And then they had Johnny's hanging up and
then like on the wall they had like hearts that
like forever with us like Matthew and which is
awesome and Johnny and that so that was definitely
like that extra extra push they needed I'm sure
to help them help them win that thing because
I think Johnny played in that tournament I won't
play I think they both did they both did at one
point so I mean Goodger would have been back
in probably 2013 -2014 something like that it's
awesome for for USA to get back to back golds
and uh oh mama don't you cry all right jumping
right back into it With the good old fashioned
puck doku. Alright, going across with the columns.
Dallas, Jersey, and Shit Adelphia. And for the
rows, it's Winnipeg, Edmonton, and under 1 ,000
games played in their career. Gritty. At least
somebody younger on Dallas League. Please don't.
Uh. Yeah. Yeah. 3%. Either one of the Hughes.
And then, Rupert Hintz. I think the only one
on that team that might have played over a thousand
so far is Ben. All right, so Edmonton Dallas.
Corey Perry. No, I can't fit in anywhere else,
right? Yeah, I cannot. Edmonton and Dallas are
the only two he can... Yeah, I wasn't sure if
he could fit anywhere else or not. Nope, he never
played for New Jersey. He never played for Philly.
Well, I forgot that he was there for a minute,
so that's why I double -checked. Jersey, Edmonton.
Swivs. Oh wow, yeah, how did I not get that?
Edmonton, Philly? Can tell it Can't tell it.
Yeah Yeah, I really need screen Damn that's hammering
was drafted by Philly, but never played for Philly
That's why I almost had pet room other we know
he never played. He was drafted me in place of
them Dallas or Winnipeg? Well Flynn never played
for Dallas, I don't think Buflin was Atlanta
Winnipeg and Chicago. Because he won a cup with
Chicago in their first to three. Philly Winnipeg.
There's also Jersey Winnipeg too. Oh, New Jersey
and Winnipeg. Brendan Dillon. Yeah. That little
bitch. D -L -L -L. D -I -L -L, yeah. Winnipeg
and Philly. Watch this big one when we go perfect
down. We haven't played this in three weeks.
Winnipeg and Philly. Yeah, that one should be
simple. Could it be another goalie? Sam Gagne
ever play for Philly? Yeah, I thought you did.
Sam Gagne? No, Simone Gagne. Oh, Simone? Oh,
fuck me. I don't think so. Maybe a defenseman?
Or something like Bruce DeLine in... Bruce DeLine
was only ever... Ghost Bear. Yeah, gots to be
here. Gots to be here. I say Ghost Bear. That's
to be here. Thanks, Ethan. Fucker isn't even
here. He's still out of the effects. Yeah. Again,
I'm going back to, like, early when, like, they
had just moved over back over to Winnipeg. Like,
send anybody from that team. Or even the team
that would have played for Atlanta. If we can
swap... Dallas for Winnipeg, then definitely
we could put Yager in for... Winnipeg and Dallas,
you didn't even think of it, you didn't go back
and do like Atlanta, Dallas. Minnesota, Atlanta
kind of thing. Yeah. Damn. We flew right through
those first six and then we're struggling. We
always fight through the first five. I like the
uniqueness there. What's it? The uniqueness.
69. I think yeah. Nice. Trying to think of all
the places Wayne Simmons has been to. Never been
to Winnipeg, I don't think. I know Buffalo for
only a couple games. Buffalo, Toronto, Philadelphia,
L .A. Seems good for L .A. Good for L .A. Really?
Yeah. Say luck it up once we're done here. Marks
to all play. Never have to give a play for Winnipeg.
Philly Rangers, Florida Buffalo Detroit spit
it out so that we can probably spin off something.
I was going to say a whole beat, but it's just
Dallas. Dallas, Vancouver, Washington. Where's
three teams? Damn. Yeah, I'm blinking. Where
was Gontar away? Pittsburgh? Pittsburgh, Ottawa.
Washington? Washington. Oh, what about, um, Nidorider?
Nito Nidorider? I think they're for Winnipeg.
Minneapolis. Alright, no, it's the wild, Minnesota.
New Jersey. Never paid for Dallas. I think my
best last guess I have is Nidorider. I'm drawing
a board. I can't think of any more. Sort of guess
Nina Ryder for Philly for Philly. That's the
best guess I have. I don't think he played for
Philly, but he did not, okay. Curry, Latten,
Dylan would have played there too. Another Cody
Eakin. Not a whole lot of recognize. I don't
feel bad about this and now I'm Kevin Hayes fucking
place for the pain with Steve Mason Sam Sam Sam
got me for that early early switch to win the
big days with Steve Mason Sam got me mark recce
right in Coburn Oh my god, I said that too Fucking
Sam's right on fucking Sam Gagne. Damn it. Not
too bad about a couple of those. Oh yeah, I heard
him. I heard him. I am showing so wet. Cut him
a dude. Imagine. Oh, that must be Jack Eichel.
No, it doesn't have the curly hair. No. Jack
had a close curve of hair, so. I'm trying to
think who, I mean, 95 % of players have long
hair like that, so that doesn't really help.
Jack Hughes. I don't know. Oh my god. Fucking.
Imagine. Okay, he's in the West. And he's in,
and he is in the Atlantic. Or no, I'm sorry.
No, because it was, wait, how is it? Let me see
play, he has played for Edmonton. Oh. That's
what that means. He has played for Edmonton.
So he's currently in the Central. He has played
for Edmonton. And he's 27 or younger? 27, 26
years old. He's not a center. Not a center. And
he's not Canadian. So let's get somebody on like...
Well, let's go through. Central teams, Colorado.
Anybody that comes to mind that has played for
Edmonton? Dallas. Currently on Dallas. Uh, Nashville.
Barry? Isn't Tyson Barry over there now? Yeah,
he is. He is. Tyson Barry? Barry? Oh, he's on
Calgary. Never mind. Oh. Winnipeg. Okay, we know
he's not a defensive now, so so we could be a
goalie could be our winner Do we want to guess
goalie to get him out of to get it? What is camp
Talbot right now? Who's the mid -tenths current
goalie? Well, it's not on Edmonton. He played
for Edmonton. Jack Campbell But he's a major
he's still he's still under contract with Edmonton
let's just guess a random bully from the central
Okay, so it's not a goal. It's a winger. Oh,
we should be more. Let's just guess that to get
Get the position. So Zwinger, 26, 27 years old,
not Canadian either. His number is above 29.
Who was drafted from... No, nevermind. Well,
I'm thinking Seattle expansion, but Utah. But
Utah was a relocation. I'm trying to think. Utah.
Who could have played for Amaterna? Justin Schultz,
but he's a defenseman. Retired now. I might draw
a blank on the rest of that. You've said I did,
but I think he's above 30. Yes. Did we go over
Dallas yet? I think we do have tried. Yeah, I'm
just back could be going back to Winnipeg that
could be Sam gone yet. What about like st. Louis?
He paid but I don't know if he's currently with
see with Detroit or see with Would it be between
Sam Gandhi or somebody on st. Louis like both
what side? Perron's still in Detroit, right?
Because he does have a tendency to go back to
St. Louis after a couple of years. What's the
guy to think, nationality? I almost want to guess
an American, just to get it out of the way. Like,
is Mark Scheife the American? He hasn't ever
played for any of the 10? I don't think so. I
just want us to throw Sam Donnie out there. I
just don't remember what team he plays for. It's
G -A -G -N -E -R. Nope, not even on there. Okay.
Or is he even re - He might not play yet this
season. Or is he retired? He might not play yet
this year. Maybe he did retire, but I don't know.
Name somebody else name somebody random on st.
Louis sort of big tip. It's not a bulldozer Kevin
and Don't I know it's not happening, but it'll
help yes nationality and that will help with
Jersey number even though Kaepernick's up in
Edmonton right now Caps for having a trade Edmonton.
He got picked up with waivers. Oh shit. Okay.
Yes, okay Kairou I know the number would be too
low Kairou And he always played in St. Louis.
Isn't Kairou in St. Louis? That's what I just
said, Kairou. That's what I just said, he's always
played in St. Louis. I'm trying to think of some
other four words on over there right now. Man.
How'd that? Saw it. Brandon saw it. It could
be. I think he's only a number 20. Okay. But
is he American? That could help. He's also older.
He is? Okay. And I thought he was in Utah. Is
he? Not a lot. Not a lot. What does someone teach
you? Chicago? What about like, Nick Salino? He's
too old. Too old and he never paid for Emerson.
Okay. Only Canadian teams pay for him. Taylor
Hall is too old. That'll help us figure out if
he's American. He does not pay for Minnesota
Chicago, but has paid for Edmonton streak but
who would be a right winger on st. louis they're
just like the others they're born fucking team
i know they're just there like they're a franchise
kind of thing i guess carrie just to get the
team couldn't even that's what we're trying to
get the team he's 26 carrie's canadian too fuck
me well yeah christian is a canadian so it makes
sense That was Star - that's the wrong division.
No. No, it's the right division. Okay. Hold still,
we missed it in that division. The Stars... Stars,
the Pred - no. The Preds. There could be somebody
from the Preds. We still have Winnipeg, too.
Stars, Preds, and Winnipeg are the last three.
There's just one more. Stars, Preds, Winnipeg.
Utah. It's Utah's in the central. Utah's in the
central. Really? Okay. Stars, Preds, Utah. Crack
in the West. Crack in the Pacific. Crackets.
No shit there in the West. And Winnipeg is number
eight. What about like... Nikolai Healers? Always
played in Winnipeg, that's the thing. Kyle Connor's
always been in Winnipeg. I was trying to think
to help with jersey numbering to help with nationality.
Tyler Sagan, isn't he American? Or is he Canadian?
I know he never played for Edmonton. He only
played for Boston, Dallas. The Central is just
kind of a boring division, man. Like there's
not a lot of like... So we just gotta get some
random players on some of these last teams. I
kind of like the Tyler Sagan guess. It's not
how to say, the age too. I mean, the other thing
is like 20, 30. He's 33, yeah. Never paid for
Ambatana. Well, there are like, healers out there
to get, try to get the nationality and the team.
Yeah. That would be a lot of healers. Cause he's
what? Finnish? Yeah. Or is he Slovakian? Danish.
Okay, I knew that. Fuck my god, I don't have
a team. You know, two more guesses after this?
Yeah. Or two more all together. Two more guesses
all together. Yeah. We still don't have the damn
team. Okay, Predators. Yeah, at least we have
half the fucking division knocked out by now.
Roman Yossi? I'll only pay for the national.
Fuck. And defensemen. Who's the winger on? Who's
the winger on national? It's Sam Coase again.
Arvidsson? L .A. Fuck. Well, either L .A. or...
No, he's still in L .A. I thought he might have
been in the number 10, but... I mean, could we
throw Yossi just to see if it's the team? Well,
what's his nationality? Is he Finnish or is he
Swedish? I don't know. We could throw Yossi to
get that help with the jersey number two. I'd
say throw Yossi in there. For fuck's sake. All
right, so we got his jersey number. His jersey
number is like 56, 57, 58. So he's with the one
team we haven't mentioned. I mean the only number
57 that comes to mind is David Perron. Where
the fuck is he playing? I thought he was stolen
Detroit. David, Ethan, where are you? We need
your Detroit answers. He's not Czech, he's not
a Canadian, he's not Danish. He still could be
Swedish, Finnish, Russian, American. Germany
is very... Very low. I was just throwing it out
there. What are the last two? Dallas. Dallas,
Chicago. No, not Chicago. Dallas. Utah. Utah.
Could he be a Utah? Could he be a transfer from
Utah? Dallas or Nashville are the last two. No,
not Nashville. Dallas, Utah. I wonder if he's
from Utah. I can't think of anybody from Utah.
There's a third one. There's a third one. Because
there's only five up there from the central.
Scroll up. From central. Oh, okay. So we can
make something here. Yeah. Second team. Oh my
god. There's three. Utah. Utah. Dallas. Who's
the last fucking team? Going down north to south.
You got Winnipeg. You got Minnesota. You got...
Colorado. Colorado. Colorado. His number 57,
56, D8 from Colorado. Um, who's, uh, he's a,
I don't know, a second of, uh... Anyway, so the
only number 57, or that area that comes to my
mind, is Peron, or LaTang, or the game against
LaTang. We might throw for Peron in, just to
see what happens. Even if he plays for St. Louis,
that's not the right answer. Um... I don't think
he plays for, I don't think he's on Dallas right
now, I don't think he plays for Colorado right
now. Well, who's the color who's the is there
anybody from I'm gonna take a pill like oh What
about like our Terry Layton in this he's still
in Colorado. Yeah, what's his number? I? Thought
he was like 27 or something like that I'm blank
I got nothing I have absolutely no idea cuz I'm
trying to think of there's one player that I'm
trying to think of from I don't even know how
to spell his name, but you know what? Kyler Yamamoto,
it was on Utah. Fuck! It was on Ottawa, that's
right, I knew that. Kyler Yamamoto, we would've
eventually gotten there in like 10 more guesses,
but... 20, 20. Let's do one more, let's do one
more in a minute just to try to make up for that.
The hairy lip is in my cave and thing too. No.
Matthew Kachuck. Wasn't it this I sniped it on
like the second guess last time? Wow! Alright,
he's American, he's 25, 26 years old. Atlantic.
He's an Atlantic. But he's not a left -winger,
and his number is higher than 22. Could it be
a goalie? No, 19? Well, 22, because if it's closer
than BL. How old is the brain? ADB. ADB is a
total... It's his age is what I'm... That age
could work. Let's go for it. Oh, they're the
same fucking age. It's not a right winger either,
so it's either a center defenseman or a goaltender.
What's a younger goaltender from that division?
Yeah, not Florida, not Detroit. That's narrowing
it down. Good, see ya, be good. His jersey is
not as high as 93. So it has to be between 23
and 90. Pretty much. Well, let's run back. Let's
go let's go through you know Boston Buffalo well
who's on Boston's centerman defenseman the goaltender
that's American That's young that's 45 below
that go back to the picture Think you'd be like
a Tej Thompson. That's who my pick was Fuck that's
why you know what fucking 27 Well, he's either
a defense winner or a goaltender. That's fine.
Swamen's American, right? Yeah. Could it be Swamen?
I don't know, let's find out. He might be too
old, but we'll try and guess. No! He's 26! He's
a goaltender! Okay! He's a goaltender! Alright,
alright. I'll go through goaltenders. Boston
Buffalo's out. Detroit, South, Ottawa. Who's
they're both in there? Who's they're both in
there? Who's they're both in there? Who's they're
both in there? Who's they're both in there? Who's
they're both in there? Who's they're both in
there? Who's they're both in there? Who's they're
both in there? W -O -L -L -L. W -O -L -L -L.
Okay, that might... So we'll hold on to Joseph
Wall. I think Stoller's could be American too.
I think... We'll hold on to Toronto. Well, Stoller
doesn't even ever want to work because of faith.
Right here. Where I'm wearing. Yeah. Well, let's
hold on to Toronto. Tampa Bay. Can't do that,
see, because he's like... He's Russian. He's
Russian. So that's not... That's going to be
it. Yeah, S -K -Y... Your aunt's is too old.
Yeah. Your aunt's is too old and Vasco's... That's
what... That's us. And then, Florida. Bob's out.
Spencer Knight. Could be Spencer Knight. Is he
American? Yeah. So we got Stolarz, we got Wall,
we got Knight. Let's go Spencer. Actually no,
we can't do Florida because we already guessed
Florida. That's true. So it's either Stolarz
or Wall. Here, let me do Joseph Wall here. Okay.
Not Toronto, that's... That'll end they take.
And we know his number is below 60. Montreal.
Who's the goaltender up in Montreal? That's a
great question. It's... Mozambique? Is it Montembeau?
Montembeau and there's a new kid, they just...
Is Montembeau American? Canadian. That's Canadian,
that's Canadian, man. It sounds foreign. I trust
Jeff you on this one, so... What about Stavars?
Could be back to Ottawa again. What was the way
it's in Corpusalo? And then, Ronka, would you
say is the other one? Well, who just went up
from Boston? Olmark. Olmark. Ron is Canadian,
isn't he? No, he's not. He's Canadian. Ron is
Canadian. I think he's Canadian. I thought he
was like Finnish or something. He's like... He
might be a Finnish or something. I think the
only other guess we have then is Montembeau,
for now. And with the number work, I think he's
like 50 or something like that. How do you spell
his name? It's an M -O -U. I have them on my
thing, so let me... Let me get... M -O -N? There
we go. Here we go. Who's the other Canadian's
goaltender? So it's Canadian's goaltender? Montenegro
is Canadian. I thought he was American. Okay.
Who's the other Canadian's goaltender? I don't
even... No clue. But Jeffy said he was the only
kid, so... He's under the number 35. So he's
somewhere between 35... Well, if we get the other
Canadian's goaltender, we obviously got it. Yes.
I'm trying to think of numbers. So it's somewhere
between like 23 and 32. So I'm guessing it's
like 30. Which I think Ronta has always been
like number 30, but is he American? I don't think
ANT is an American name. No. Is he Renta? No.
Who is the other goaltender? I know they just
got a new candidate. That's the only reason I
don't know who it is. Matt Murray? No, that's
Matt. He never played for Montreal. He's Canadian
too. He's with the Leafs right now. Which Matt
Murray? There's two of them. The second Matt
Murray. Dallas. Well, we know that it's I just
don't And this yeah, we have to because we know
it's a Canadians for Somebody's my phone is locked.
I don't know. Tell it in but Jacob Dough came
in private P .R .I .M .E .A .U. How old is he?
Connor Hughes? No. Montepone, uh, yeah, Doves.
But you know he's a check. What about Jake Allen?
What? Hold on. Hitting his number is... What
about Jake Allen? He's too old. Trust him, Jersey.
Yeah, because I see the current gold tenders
for the Montreal Canadiens, Sam, Vaught and Bidu.
Jake Allen and Kaden Primo. Maybe it is Kaden
Primo then? Here, here's how you spell his name.
Primo's check. He's check. So it would be the
second, it would be the middle option. Malmton
Bowich is already up there. So Jake Allen's too
old, as you said. Jake Allen's in Jersey! He's
in Jersey! He can't beat Jake Allen if he's in
Jersey! What if there's two Jake Allens? Because
there's two of every... What the hell is it then?
Put Matt Murray for the next three guesses and
we'll figure it out. No. Who the hell is it?
He is American. Yeah, except he wasn't on the
active roster. And yeah, he was on the active
roster. He's currently playing in the ball. Alright,
that makes sense. So I was kinda sorta right,
but I did Google it. I'm not taking any credit,
so. I'll just take the kinda sorta. Jeffy, your
turn for your little, no Colin, we'll do your,
let's see if Jeffy's for last. Colin's body rankings.
Yeah, we'll do Colin's body rankings first. We'll
see if Jeffy's for last so then Bubble can, we
can explain it to Bubble at the end here. Okay.
Alright. Let me pull some notes up here. Again,
I am sorry, guys. We'll take a quick pause and
we'll be right back with you. I got it right
here, so. Okay, you're right. Just J -K -L -L.
So, you were with us during some of the Brian
Rankin's, right? I was with you the first two,
yes. So you were... I was there... So the A's
of the Metro. Yes. So you know what this is like.
Yes. I know what it's like. I missed the last
three. So you can clearly tell we screwed up
on one of them. Yeah. Yeah. I remember. Yeah.
I got Ryan. I got the notification of the nickname
change and I'm like, what the hell happened?
And I went through it. I was like, oh, too bad.
I don't have any of these. Have to go through
a minute. I know I have some of these jerseys,
but it doesn't really matter so I this is blind
rankings ace of the central Yeah, I really couldn't
figure out anything so like this is fall background
just to get something in here ace of the central
first up Seth Jones Chicago And he's been around
for a while. He's what? Longest tenured blackhawk.
Really? Yeah, the longest. Yeah. Since Taze and
um... He's been there for like four years and
he's already the longest tenured. It's wild.
No, it's the blackhawks. Well, why don't we start
about like two? No, no, no. Oh. That's odd. I
was going to put him in yet. Four. I was going
to say four. Alright. No offense to Seth Jones,
he's amazing. No, because I was thinking two,
because there might be a - I know he was very
much loved in my mother's for a while too, so.
Alright, second up, from Dallas, Rupert Hintz.
Maybe that's for number two. Rupert Hintz is
one of my - I love Rupert. I'm trying to go through
and think where he can try to fuck with us this
time. Well, you're tie -breaker two or three
I mean I initially said two but I mean Jeff is
coming up Yeah, let's save some room. Let's go
three. Let's go three. Yeah All right, I Throw
one up from Winnipeg Josh Marcy. Oh Okay, and
he's Debate might be their best defenseman they
got right now. Which makes sense why he has the
A. And he's definitely better than Seth Jones.
Is he as good as Rupert Hintz? I mean, it's two
different positions. Two different styles of
hockey, completely. So, I don't want to put him
at five because I think he's better than Seth
Jones. Well, I would say one of eight. Could
we bump RootBeta3? Nope. They're deducted. Okay.
I couldn't remember if we could... I'd put Josh
at two. Okay. I don't want to put him at five.
I couldn't remember the role if we could move
around at all. He's better than Seth Jones. I
think Saskia's gonna bite. Oh no. From Nashville.
Ryan O 'Reilly. I kinda had a feeling he was
gonna put somebody from Nashville. Number one.
He's better than I think most of those guys.
But number five is probably going to be uh, he's
probably saving the fifth one for the ankle later.
I always find a way to get us. I feel what team
he's got. What if we throw him? What if we throw
him? What if we throw him? What if we throw him?
What if we just start with the fifth? And then
we have his last one on top. Yeah I know I think
I know where he's going to go for the last one
so. All right, who's the fifth one? Honestly,
I was about to ask Jeffy to grab that outer sweater
from behind him just because I think he's on
on that sweater. He signed it Yeah, I think that's
back in his day And an arm. Let me see it. Whenever
he wears a earring. That's fine. Do you need
an extra light or something? I'm good. I'm gonna
hang up right here. While Jeffy brings his up,
I'll look for it. So we take the time to explain
this thing to Bobo. Bobo, if you want to. So
what this is, Bobo, it's higher, lower, maybe
every once in a while neutral. OK. And this is
related to drafts. OK. So pretty much, I'll go
through two different players, say, which one's
high. If you think they're drafted higher, lower,
or if they were. So for example, for a neutral
one. I said Austin Matthews or Conor McDavid,
like who was higher, lower, neutral. Since they
both were drafted first overall, they've been
neutral. Okay. That's actually really cool. He's
been doing the couple weeks. That's a couple
weeks. Excuse me, that's really cool. Like Gally
is another one from a couple weeks ago. I'm like,
was Brandon Coyne ranked drafted higher or lower
than Ryan O 'Reilly? They were lower. I'm just
trying to reread it right. Yes. Yeah, right.
Bram Coyne was drafted lower than O 'Reilly.
So he was drafted in the third round where O
'Reilly was drafted in the second round. So you
kind of get the... Get the idea. So is there
like a point system? Just like the blind rank
in this. Why the fuck? Well, because I wasn't
sure. Just for fun, Colin might still scream
your ears off, but it's just for fun. Well, because
I thought when he was doing this, you know, what
we would have done. I don't need to scream if
it's the blind rank. Well, why don't we do this?
Maybe next season we do points for Jeffy's. I
know. Well, here's my idea. You're the... You
know, rule master, loser buys everybody fucking
dinner. I buy a pizza or someone buys a pizza.
No, I had one funny the other day that I thought
of. On my family get -together for Christmas
a couple weeks ago, we did like karaoke and stuff.
So I thought, next time we do a little punishment
for, you know, bracket, fancy whatever it is,
ultimate loser has to go to rock and roll, sing
a really embarrassing song in front of everybody.
As long as I'm drunk, I am game. I've sang rock
and roll a few times. I thought that was hilarious.
I've sang rock and roll a few times. You gotta
get me fucking buzzed about it. I did a Creed
song in a rock and roll a few weeks ago. That
was a lot. That was right before Christmas. I
did more than one last breath by Creed. And Jeff,
what do we got? All right, for the first one,
was Yarra Curry ranked drafted higher or lower
than Mark Messier? Yarra Curry. He was lower.
Are you kidding me? I don't really agree with
Collin. I'm gonna go lower. Lower, higher or
lower than Messier? I'm gonna say lower. Yeah,
I would say a long pick. St. Messy was drafted
higher. Yep, you pretty much all were correct.
Yep, Curry was drafted in 1980 by the Oilers.
69th overall, 4th round pick, 6th pick, where
Messy was 79 by Edmonton. 3rd round, 7th pick
overall. Next one is, it was Charlie McEvoy drafted
higher or lower than Artari Lincoln in. Charlie
McAvoy or Terry Lincoln. Oh. I'm gonna go higher.
Maybe a neutral. Lower. I want to say McAvoy
was our first round pick. I'd pick a neutral
on this one. Damn, I mean McAvoy would have been
like 2017, 2018. He's a young guy. Licking in
I think was a little more recently. Did I? Might
have screwed up on the I don't know why I put
Mac a boy. I'm sorry Who do you mean to put I?
Meant Charlie coil in that I don't know why I
put Mac why Charlie coil I'm completely sorry
That changes completely then I want to say coil
I'd say was dropped a little lower hard or you
say higher No, I'm gonna still say no or Lower.
So you think Lakenin was drafted higher? Yeah,
like later on, higher. Like, he was drafted later.
Or, I might - Before or after? He was drafted
after. Coyle was drafted after Lakenin? No, before.
Before, so lower. He was a lower draft pick,
so he was, like, lower numbers. I might have
this - I'm gonna say the other option. I'm gonna
say Lakenin was drafted first. I'm just gonna
go with neutral. Yeah, Coyle was drafted before.
I said Colin actually was correct. He was drafted
higher. He was drafted in 2010 by the Sharks,
28th overall, first round. You're talking about
Sharks? Yeah. What? And in Lincoln it was 2013
by Montreal, 55th overall, second round, 25th
pick. Damn. And then the last one I have is was
Cole Caulfield drafted higher or lower than Why
did I forget it? Never mind, I'll skip that one
just because I screwed up on that one. Yeah,
I'll skip that one just because I screwed up
on that one. Okay. Yeah, I don't know what happened
there. All right. What are some other things
that we possibly missed this week? Let's see.
Obviously, we said Eric Stolovitz's number retired
earlier today. He has a recording by the Carolina
Hurricanes. How bad the rest are. OV counter.
Oh yeah, OV counter. That should be a new thing.
OV counter. As of today, Sunday, January 12th
at 9 .50 p .m. Alex Ovechkin is 22 goals away
from breaking the Great Ones. I was going to
say, because you said that when I was watching
the Bills game with my uncle. And I got that
text and I was like, wow, he's getting close.
I think he's won 17 goals in only 20 games played
this year. Something like that. I think he has
the potential of breaking that record. Probably
early next season. No, against LA this season.
March. I think he's on pace for late February,
early March range. I think he's going to do it
this year. He's going to do it this year. If
he stays healthy. He has 20 goals and 27 games
this year. 39 years old, keep in mind. So again,
number one, if he stays on the pace that he's
going. And number two, if he stays healthy. That's
a big thing. Obviously he missed a chunk of time
with that broken paper line. But he's come back
stronger than ever. This just shows how good
he is, man. 39 years old, he breaks his fibula
and still comes back. I think it was a month
ahead of schedule that he was supposed to be
back. Yeah. That's unbelievable, man. Like, as
much as we might shit talk the capitalist, as
much as we don't like to play Ovechkin on the
ISC, he's a fucking fantastic scorer, man. We
can't do anything or say anything to take that
away from the man. He's fucking fantastic. He's
the greatest goal scorer of our generation, man.
Yeah, it's not gonna be a great school score
of all time if he does No, he will well here's
my question to you guys. Do you think? So let's
say so sorry to cut you off Jeffy let's say McDavid
breaks the record Now you have this young fresh
kid and Connor McDavid. Do you think McDavid
will break? Obvious new record of Mcdavid. I
think it will be Matthews. I think Matthews can
do it before Mcdavid. Really? Both of them can
do it. Mcdavid does a lot of points. He does
score a lot of goals too. I think Miguel will
more like go after Gretzky's assists in his points
record. Where Matthews will go after Obie's goal.
Both of them are going to break records. It just,
you know, define... which record you're going
after. So you guys are saying on one end of the
spectrum, McDavid's a better feeder than he is
a better shooter. On the other end of the spectrum,
it's like McDavid likes to feed the puck and
share the wealth. It's almost like the Ovechkin
-Crosby debate. Matthews is like Ovechkin, they're
amazing goal scorers, they're the better goal
scorer. McDavid's like Crosby, they're the better
200 foot player, assist getter, whatever you
might want to get. In 591 games played he has
382 holes for a total of 680 points. Okay. Where
for Connor McDavid, also we know he just passed
1000 points earlier this season, has played 684
games and has 1040 points. Wow. That's kind of
where I was wondering, I was like, how do you
guys feel about something where, I mean I'm sure
we're going to talk about that later on throughout
this and next season. throughout the course of
hot like yeah you know mcdavid's career and you
know whether like regardless of how far we go
as a studio like it's going to be talked about
okay i guess here's a question i have this is
just a fun one to pick your brains you have connor
mcdavid and you have austin matthews each captain
of a team who wins they pick their own players
then they do a normal You know, period. The fantasy
drafts. Normal fantasy draft. I mean, David picks
his side, Matthew picks his side. Who would you
rather start your franchise with? Essentially.
Would you pick David or would you pick Matthews?
They're both the GM, number one center, franchise
cornerstone kind of thing. Who would? I mean,
it's got to be with David. I mean, it's got to
be with David. Okay, wow. I don't think there
is. Well, if they were to draft their own team.
If they were to build their own team, that's
what I'm saying. Again, GM and number one player.
Like if McDavid gets enough money and he buys
a team out in Atlanta. And it's like, okay, McDavid
builds his own team and then Austin Matthews
goes out to, I don't know, Arizona. You know,
he owns a team out in Arizona, he builds his
own team. Mcdavid on the other end of the spectrum
is the same thing. Who do you have? They play
who do you have? Who's warning that? Mcdavid,
so. Think so? Yeah. I think so. I mean, you gotta,
you gotta, I'm gonna let my body show. I really
don't care. I mean, yeah, it's gonna be Mcdavid.
I mean, can't. There's some that I had sent to
the group, like a lot, I think it was last week.
Back over the weekend, this was a little bit
ago, over the weekend when Flurrie and Crosby
ended up being at the same hotel in Raleigh.
Sid snuck into Flurry's hotel room and moved
the furniture around during the wild morning
skate. Flurry stole Sid's equipment bag and put
Vaseline on his visor, laced up his skates backwards,
and put beef sticks in his jocks. That's awesome.
If that's not friendship, I don't know what you're
saying. That's awesome. That's awesome. So, do
you think... Pittsburgh so we we actually also
just had history in the making recently two players
ever in the NHL history that to have a hat trick
at the age of 18 or younger and the age of 36
year older Yarmir Yarmir Agur is the first and
most recently Jordan frickin stall Jordan frickin
stall can you see the other still brother getting
his jersey return in the near future i don't
think it was as as much of a guarantee as eric's
was yeah but um i can see it potentially happening
speaking of kind of mixing the both mixing ovechkin
and flurry together mark and your floor i'm watching
ovechkin Approach Wayne Gretzky's NHL goals record.
This is what he had to say about that He probably
owes a few he probably owes me a few things for
scoring so many goals on the IELTS and that pretty
good Who is that? Flurry I think is with Ovi
Getting closer and closer to Gretzky's goal One
that I kind of want to see one last time is I
don't I don't care where it's at Do it in Washington
because the first time was in Pittsburgh. Kind
of had the last time being in Washington. Do
like a back -to -back. The changing of the guards.
Do the first game be the old guards, Ovechkin
and Crosby. Do the second game be Matthews and
McDavid. Be like, hey, this is your league now.
Carry the torch better than what we ever fucking
could. And that's a tough, tough challenge to
do for anybody. We'll all buy tickets out to
DC for the week. You got anything? You got anything?
Alright, well let's uh... Let's wrap this show
like a condom and get the fuck out of here, alright?
Let's GTFOH, bitches. Oh, you guys roll, I don't,
obviously. Well, if you're gonna GTFOH, you're
gonna walk us all to our car, turn your ass around
like you're in the military. Fuck! I am even
in this fucking building, I hope you know. I'll
be right back, see you guys. Alright. Before
Bobo acts more stupid. Make a hole in the wall
every time you fucking sat down. They can't hit
Robbie and Ethan after Ethan's 21st. Alright
Eddie Van Halen. Alright. Peace out everybody.
See you next week. See ya.
