to this ASMR version of your mystery podcast.
Before we talk about anything and everything,
I'll be in woman's curling. I'm the dingus, surrounded
by my fellow bums. Say hi, bums. Hi, hi. Nice
of you to join us today, or tonight, or whenever
you're listening to this, all kinds of different
platforms across the interwebs. Let's get into
it. Beautiful and true. That's the quietest I'll
ever be tonight. I'm sure. I just gotta make
sure I soundproof this room next. That's the
next project, so I promise. There's enough stuff
in here to where I've noticed in here the sound
is a lot better. This is a lot better than down
in the open mass living room down there. Yeah,
all the jerseys and all the jerseys and shelves
and everything else on the walls. It's kind of
a lot less wall for the sound to bounce off of,
so. Yeah, there's still one more, actually one
more thing that I have that I'm just too fucking
lazy to put up. And I don't have the motivation.
Thank you ADHD for a wonderful manly ass thing.
Yeah, just a typical Sunday night here in the
Bump Luster Studio. in the background we're also
just kind of paying attention to the the cheats
bills game so if we scream or say fuck get some
random point it's probably that so um the cheats
currently up by five on the bills right now as
we talk shortly into the i'm almost at the end
of the third quarter already yeah it's uh it's
you'll be moving on it really do be moving on
the bills are about to score oh live reaction
here we go oh touchdown did you get it oh a yard
short yeah come on Just don't these damn chiefs
to win again man fuck sakes. I like I'm tired
I want to see somebody new man, and I like Josh
Allen too much you know Fuck I really do like
you know that addition to the studio So put a
custom message on it Like right now it says fuck
the chiefs up there. I also have a live reaction
Touchdown bills What a fucking play Wow James
Cook Damn, that was cook right? Yeah, James Cook
Wow, what a dive with a stretch. There's the
watch party Buffalo. Hell. Yeah Go nuts Because
remember they're professional lacrosse Oh, that's
right. They just won their championship. Oh,
that's right. In their second straight, yeah.
In their second straight. So you've got two good
teams up in Buffalo. I don't know how... I always
forget... I always forget they have... Too bad
the other team that shares that arena is absolute
dogshit. I don't know how well their baseball
team's doing up there. They have minority baseball
teams. I think it's a AAA team, yeah. It's a
single A. Is it only single? I thought it was
triple. Yeah, I don't know how well they're doing
or how well they did last year that... I couldn't
even tell who they're affiliated with. I can't
remember. You guys are the baseball people here.
I honestly can't remember. I know it's a single
way. I just can't remember who they're affiliated
with. Good thing for Google. I gotta scroll through
all this. Well, why don't we look that up? Do
you guys have any? Oh, let's start with OHL news,
Jeff. Why don't you get us a girl in here, man?
Actually going back on January 13th, it was kind
of Confirmed on January 10th, but the OHL didn't
make the official announcement to like that Monday
Zach Hyman and his family are now on are now
the new owners of the Brantford Bulldogs. Yeah,
I don't know if we touched on that last week,
but I know there was news that it was happening,
but it now became official within the last two
weeks since our last recording. I think we touched
on it, but I can't quite remember. I know it
came, it was, they kind of heard about it on
the 10th. Wasn't quite official, like I won the
weigh -in today. I knew that they were waiting
to the official announcement. I knew they, I
had a feeling they waited to do the announcement
because of the Conor McDealer prospect game that
happened in Brantford. So I think they wanted
to kind of make the announcement along with that
prospect game. But yeah, that's honestly pretty
cool. Actually, I didn't realize the owner they
just bought it off of. He owned the Ottawa Centers
and the... Bellville Bellville centers as well.
Oh really? Yeah I didn't know that until after
um after the um deal was done so I thought that
was kind of interesting. So the Buffalo Bisons
are the trip a affiliate of. They're the trip
a affiliate of. The Blue Jays? The Blue Jays.
Blue Jays okay. I mean it makes sense considering
they're right right in there. It clicked right
as you want to say it because I'm pretty sure
when COVID was happening you know um The Blue
Jays weren't allowed to play up in Toronto, they
had to play down here in America, and that's
where they ended up playing their games, was
at the Bicents field. Which makes sense, because,
you know, again... But you don't really need
to be worried about, you know, attendance, because
there wasn't fans that year, so... But yeah,
they ended up playing their home games at the
Buffalo Bicents field, so... It makes sense.
I guess location -wise, too. Tending to be living
right across the borders. I mean, I'm just trying
to think. The drive up there, it was... Four
hours from here to Toronto from my place. She
doesn't sound right. You and Bubba took a day
trip up there last year? Yeah, three years ago.
So three and a half hours from a studio to the
hockey hall thing. So give or take an hour. Buffalo
Stadium is the half way point. Yeah. So an hour
15. You literally pass it on. through a buff
on one of the interstates. Yeah, so hour 15 give
or take traffic and, you know, how easy it is
to get across the border. And it's, for whatever
reason, it's a lot tougher to get into the states
than it is to Canada. Yeah. But that's a whole
different story for not the podcast. Yeah, before
we jump into the end, which I'll do is let's
talk more just auditors hockey since last recording.
Record of three and three since the last recording.
Went on to win. two of a three and three road
trip against the 67s in the Pete's four to one
and five to one respectively and then lost a
third at Kingston six to two and then another
three to three this past weekend two of them
at home one of them on the road one on this past
Friday night against the Ice Dogs a three and
two shootout win which I heard was an incredible
game against the team that we did not expect
to be a top dog pun intended this year and they
are no Oh and Flores were incredible. Yeah, but
a very tight heartbreaking loss on Saturday night
to the Kitchener Rangers in the area four to
three and then a kind of a bow -up and Niagara
got their revenge on us earlier this afternoon
six to three in Niagara Yeah, that game last
night was very very close game I think I'd said
it to Colin when we met back up at the car like
I'm not disappointed with how we played that
last night It was still a very strong game Ty
Henry definitely needs some discipline, needs
to stay out of the box. I think I saw a stat
in that 12 consecutive games where he's had a
penalty. If you take out the first 20 minutes
of that game, the kitchener game, I mean obviously
they look sloppy, they weren't themselves, but...
I mean, offensively, we still did pretty good
defensively. We surrendered 21 shots in the first
period alone. And then four in the second. you
know turn aside 19 of them and then the four
four shots against that second period second
period we actually have like 15 to four in the
second period or something like that 16 to 4
which is crazy you know terry torrance's penalty
shot which got the crowd just absolutely fucking
wild yeah all around amazing second period and
third period again very strong third period as
well just kind of an unfortunate penalty at the
end there which probably should not have been
called Missed hit led to a leg on my contact.
I'm not going to say knee -on -knee. It wasn't
knee -on -knee. No. No. So, which led to a tripping,
and then again led to the unfortunate game -winner
goal. The no -goal should have been paid debt
that called debt after sods went down. Yeah.
That icing before that shouldn't have been called.
It was literally in -center, almost center. And
it didn't even hit the goal line. No. So either
way you look at it, no icing facial went on.
It's just typical eerie OHL refs for you. Just
the refs that we get stuck with watching. Hesitating
on dropping the puck. I've never seen that in
my 25 fucking years of watching hockey. I've
never seen that before. Maybe one, maybe two.
delays, but these what three or four times we
went to drop it and just blew the whistle like
Just drop the fucking puck. I know people were
just like, oh my god. It was I've never seen
that The rest have gotten a lot worse and worse
over the years and I I know they're good, you
know They that's it's a fact out there that they
don't like traveling the area. Oh, it's y 'all
rest Do not like traveling the area. We're so
out of the way, but it's like it doesn't matter
do your fucking job I fucking hate those people
that defend and like, well they have a very tough
job. No, they fucking don't. It's not a hard
fucking job to do correctly. There are eight
eyeballs out there. Most of the time they're
looking at the planet. They're looking at what's
happening and then they decide not to do anything.
Like the one last thing that actually was a call
for us, you know, a call on Kitchener, a play
that happened like down towards where we were
sitting, around 90 feet away down the other fucking
goal line called the penalty. Again, it was a
penalty on Kitchener, so I was happy we got the
power play out of it. I think that might have
been the one we actually scored on. But still,
I was like, how the hell does this guy weigh
down there and make the call? Those are always
the ones that I don't get. The one that's actually
calling it doesn't call it in the one. The one
that is literally right in front of me to call
in distance away from the play doesn't call it.
and the ref 80 feet away calls it. I think another
thing, Cole and I were talking, we actually were
talking about this on Friday's game, like, watching
Erlinden, like, coming out and play the puck.
We were talking ever since him coming over from
Sweden, like, we noticed he's actually more,
he's getting more confident of actually coming
out and playing the puck and that. Where he at
the beginning he was like you can tell he was
like he hesitated Yeah, because the way he played
it like goaltenders never play the puck Yeah,
you just you state your ass is in this goal.
You do not the only time you move is to save
No, save the puck. That's it. Do not go behind
the net. Do not do anything else. That's your
job You know that is very typical if you're a
goaltender tend the goal joke that's the jit
what do you do tend to goal yeah whereas obviously
over here stateside it's like okay you can go
out pay the pot you have a lot more freedom so
every time i hear that i can't help but hear
steven screaming thank steve for that so yeah
now we can jump into what's our some our milestones
and news from uh yeah for up league um and then
honestly talked about the zack hyman and his
family pick it up buying the Bramford Bulldogs.
Columbus Blue Jack is prospect this is on the
only one January 15th milestone. Columbus Blue
Jack's prospect Noah Milan gets his fourth career
OHL shutout and his first with the Greyhounds
in the 7 -0 victory versus the Peterborough Peets.
We'll be back to Noah. Yeah because there's actually
a state on A little note I put in the group chat
earlier. On the 17th, the Philadelphia Flyers
prospect Noah Powell of the Austin Generals gets
his first career OHO goal versus Brantford Bulldogs.
Matthew Manza of the Sarnia Sting gets his first
career OHO goal versus Sudbury Wolves. On the
18th, with his assists on Michael Mises' second
goal, In his fourth point of the game, Calgary's
finest prospect Zayn Perak of the Saginaw Spirit
passes Patrick McNeil at 182 points for the all
-time points leader as the defenseman. Isen Mekes
of the Owenstown Attack gets his first career
O .H .O. goal versus the Flint Firebirds. Angus
McDowell of the Brankford Steelheads played in
his 200th career O .H .O. game versus Kitchener
Rangers. On the 22nd, Sean Kingwell of the Auto
67's gets his first career OHO goal. On the 23rd,
Jaden Diu of the Saginaw Spirit played in his
200th career OHO game. And then Hayden Bartsch
of the Peterbo Pete's gets his first career OHO
goal versus the Saginaw Spirit. On the 24th,
Luca DiMato of the Oxford Generals played in
his 250th career with Joe Game. And Winnipeg
Jets prospect Kobe Barlow gets his first four
gold performance versus Peterbilt Peets. I'm
sorry. Anytime I hear anything about Luca DiMato,
I just think back to last year when Alfie just
completely shoved him down. Big brother and little
brother shoving down to the ground. Yeah. And
then as mentioning does this happen on the 24th
Columbus Bluehawk prospect Nolan Milan gets the
his gets the first goalie goal for ensues franchise
history versus the flip -fire birds That was
in that was pretty cool scene I think that's
Nolan's second goalie goal. He got one with Saginaw
last year, and I want to say... I don't think
so, no. I thought he got one as well. But he
becomes, regardless, this is the 12th time that
a goaltender has gotten a goalie goal in the
OHL. It's the first time that there's been more
than one goalie goal this season. Obviously,
earlier in the season Carter George of the Owenstown
Attack got the other goalie goal. Then as of
Saturday the 25th, Matthew Soleri of the Auto
67's gets his first career O .H .O. goal vs.
Kingston Frontenac's. Pierce Mabu of the Owenstown
Attack gets his first career O .H .O. Patrick
vs. Sonia Sting. Anthony Ramani of the Barry
Colts played in his 200th career OHL game versus
the Bramford Bulldogs. And then as for suspensions
wise, the big one was Kevin Hee. It's right now
pending right now, but the OHL reveal that he'll
be suspended for not sure for how long on the
hit on Alexi Davia in the game on the 24th and
that. Hell yeah. In honestly, in Davio I guess
is out for, because of concussion protocol and
that's why he's missed the last two games. Yeah.
And then he took a hit on a Friday night's game.
Friday night's game. Like it looked like, looking
back at the time it looked like a clean hit because
it happened like literally along the board right
in front of our section. But on the ice um...
But like looking back at the replay, it did kind
of look a little high, but it's honestly debatable.
So there are seven goalie goals in OHL. Three
names you might recognize. This first name has
been, it's been a while. Tyler Parsons of the
London Knights. And then the, some of the recent
two are Carter George and Nolan LaLonde. Know
Barry had one last year from what I saw Other
names include Chris Chris Clifford Pete McGlynn
Ron Vogel and Jason cool how well All these guys
old old players. Yeah, except a 70 79 71 66 so
This is what I'm pulling up here. Quant Hockey.
Quant. I think that's how you pronounce it. All
time Goldie Gold leaders. Hi Kyle. Hi. Jeff,
is that all for you? That's all I have. Kyle,
who do you have for your? Well, I was going to
say, one other thing we should just discuss,
the elephant in the room, the Stan Butler situation.
No comment with it still being under? Well, not
with that, but like, do we think... I mean, I
think personally the team has been performing
a lot better, a lot more confidently without
him. Yeah. And not six games we have seen the
team play without him. I mean, three wins in
those six games against some decently good teams
as well. Especially the win on Friday night against
Niagara. And a very strong game last night against
Kitchener. I think we're playing very well, a
lot more confident. I really like the way Wes
and Ken are running this team right now. And
I think they did good, you know, the year we
hired Butler, you know, between B .J. Adams and
Butler. I think they did a good job with that
as well. Well, I think then it was Wes and Vince,
yeah. But I think we're doing very well without
him. I don't know if we need him to come back
at this point. Yeah. I know Dave Brown has been
the last three games, especially four games,
he's been on the bench and that. Yeah, initially
that was like Friday's game, I'm like, is that
Dave Brown? And I couldn't tell him that, I saw
some on Facebook. And then from one of our local
news saying that he was, I'm like, okay, I thought
that was him. But yeah, he's been on the bench
with Ken and Wes and that. Helping with the coaching.
Get you together kind of thing. Yeah, but I mean
in worst case I say keep Wes and in Kenwell and
I say maybe promote Wes to head coach. Keep Ken
as assistant. Maybe hire another assistant at
the end of the season. Yeah, I think Wes, you
can definitely tell Wes is definitely the better
man for the head coach position. That's a small
assume. Something I noticed Saturday night is
every every in between every whistle they're
over there over at the bench looking over plays
you know looking over the playbook looking over
things you know coming up with the game plan
right then and there changing the game plan up
right then and there i didn't see that a lot
with stan yeah i have not seen that a lot with
stan whatsoever he's more leading leading against
the glass on the bench yeah kind of thing kind
of let them like the guys figure it out almost
like on the fly pretty much yeah what wesson
ken are very focused on let's fix this now This
what we need to do to fix it rather than hey
like hey, we're doing great like let's keep focus
to this array That was bullshit fix it now kind
of thing. That's what we need to do to fix it
even on I always I always do listen to the soundbites
like that either paraffin wolf always do the
soundbites at the end of daughters games like
they always say like what what they've changed
throughout the game, like what they said, okay,
we didn't play good the first, but we changed
in the second, look better. So I think they've
been doing a really good job, just the two of
them lately. And normally you'll see like refs
or officials come over to the benches and experience
stuff, like when Stan was behind there, they
never came over to the area bench. If they did,
they would talk to Wes. Yeah. very rarely you
saw like stan like like actually say something
a lot of time unless he was like really pissed
or something but you didn't see much emotions
out of stan butler whereas now you know west
is always there he always wants to know what
the fuck is going on which it kind of sucks i
know when we found out he was coming to eerie
like everybody was really hyped about it like
just you know the amount of time he spent in
um in North Bay and Brampton. He was loved over
there and he had a very long tenure over there.
When we found out he was coming here, we were
very excited. We actually have a coach that has
a lot of tenure and not only just in hockey,
but in this league. Knows what he's doing, knows
how to bring a team to the playoffs pretty consistently.
I think in like his 21 years in North Bay slash
Brampton, he only missed the playoffs like three
times. He joined us, we missed, but he was only
here for the last half of the season. I'm not
counting that. I will not count that against
the man. I'm sorry. I will not count that against
anybody. The damage was done. We were already
out of contention. I think we're looking very
good without him. Do we need him to come back?
I don't know. If something changes and maybe
this ends up being a wake up call for him, whatever
the situation is, we know as much as the organization
has put out. and he's under investigation by
by the league or by the team which that's something
we're kind of sitting on our hands about and
waiting for the eerie auditor's organization
to say this is what happened this is what we
are investigating issues came to and that's that's
all we know we don't have any insiders we don't
have any scoop and we know what they released
and that's all we're going to say about the situation
professionally professional auto professionals
until we know more we'll Just leave it as it
is right now until we know more about it. Yeah.
Yeah, jumping to the NHL with a bunch of milestones.
I did end up missing mine last week, but I went
back and got a couple more or less just like
the first goals and a couple bigger the milestones

right? Uh, I believe so, yeah. Should've been.
Should've been. Alright, jumping back into it.
Going to some Puck Doku. See what we got today.
Alright, going across with the columns. We got
Buffa Mo with Amundsen and Montreal. And for
the rows, we got Arizona. Minnesota and three
press teams played in their career for Arizona
and Buffalo Jason Zucker you can also do that
for Minnesota and you can also do that for three
teams favorite so we can hold on to that because
yeah that's multiple options yeah I see the other
one up for Arizona Edmonton Taylor Hall yeah
we got we did for Arizona Buffalo too yeah so
we got we got Taylor Hall Taylor Hall, Jason
Zucker, Alex Tuck. Alex Tuck. Tuck's here for
Minnesota? I thought he was drafted by Minnesota.
Did he play a game for them? Oh, fuck, that's
right. Well, either way, he... No, because that
would only be two games. Because he went Vegas
and Buffalo. Yeah. And then I know... And then...
GalChamp can work for, um... Montreal, Arizona.
Yeah. Montreal, Arizona or Minnesota. Three teams
played in Korea. Yeah. So that he can fit any
two. So we, we have our options. It's just how
we want to play this appropriately. Yeah. I think
we can do Galchenyuk for Montreal, Arizona. And
for Montreal three teams played Mike Hoffman.
Yeah. My he's in Montreal team. Yes, baby. Okay
Hoffman He's played for like five or six at this
point I gotta make sure I took the right one
Another one that can work for Minnesota Edmonton
is on camp Talbot No, so yeah or um He fit anywhere
else. I don't think so three three three inch
player. Yeah, you fit that way, too so I'm pretty
sure we got all the kids came when I was Pat
Maroon played for Edmonton at some point, right?
Yeah, so he can go and also Minnesota Edmonton
or 3D. So as of right now, the only one we don't
have filled out is Montreal, Minnesota. Pretty
much. Alright, so let's focus Edmonton, Carolina,
Edmonton, Arizona. Which one? Taylor Hall for
that one. Taylor Hall. We'll do Taylor Hall for
that one. Or wait, do we want to do him for Arizona?
Edmonton. That's what I was picking on, Arizona
Edmonton. Oh was it? Okay, okay. So. Make sure
you do the right one for this one too, because
I'm pretty sure this one, there's two different
Taylor Hauls. Yeah. Yeah, so they're gonna do
the present time one. And then Edmonton, three
teams play, but I was gonna put Jeff Skinner.
Carolina, Buffalo, Edmonton. Yeah, that works.
Not Jeffs. Jeff, how do you spell your name again?
In Buffalo three teams played fucking anybody
that's ever played for Buffalo Yeah Good call
St. Louis and Vancouver. He was St. Louis. Yeah,
it was like like briefly before my father's rate
after he got shaped from Buffalo to sing He was
only, he only stayed there for a half, like less
than a half. Really? Trade deadline. Trade deadline
on that season and then went to Anaheim. Or to?
Vancouver. Vancouver after that. Anaheim. He
finished his career in Vancouver. I thought he
finished in Anaheim. He finished in Vancouver.
I'm pretty sure he finished in Anaheim. Here,
here, let me. I'm pretty positive he finished
in Anaheim. Cause he was in Vancouver for the
uh, I think when he was in the Olympics. shortly
after. I have a playing career. Sabres, sabres,
a lot of sabre shit. Not surprising. St. Louis,
I traded February 28th. He was traded with Steve
Ott for Homock, Stewart, and Willem Carrier.
And two future traffics. Oh yeah, Vancouver and
then... That's what I thought. You're making
me doubt myself, but I was pretty confident.
I thought he finished Vancouver, so that's...
Okay, so yeah, Pat Maroon for Minnesota Edmonton.
Okay. For Minnesota Buffalo. I know, I said Jason
Zucker would fit in either one. Which one would
be harder to fill? Oh, who else did we have up
there? We were firing off names and everything.
I said Jason, we said Jason Zucker, um, what
was the other? Yeah, we were firing off fucking
names like it was nothing. Yeah. Where did, um...
Where did Lafontaine go? Oh, I know one too.
Where? Um, Eric Stahl. Minnesota Buffalo. Yep.
Then we can use Zucker for the other one. Good
shit. Jason Zucker. We could have also done Eric
Stahl and Minnesota Montreal, right? Yeah. I
thought that one might be easier to get. So then
we got Jason Zucker for Arizona Buffalo. I might
as - we - if we can't think of someone, we -
I screwed this up. Where has Max Domi played?
Dallas, not Buffalo. Not Minnesota. He's played
Montreal, Dallas, Toronto, Chicago, Arizona.
Did Bukestad ever play for Montreal? Nick Bukestad.
It's very intimidating with the clock fucking
ticking above there. What about Petrie? He's
only been like Detroit, Pittsburgh, Montreal.
Not Koivu. Koivu played for both of them, but
not the same one. Think Saku played for Montreal
Mika played for Minnesota, but they never played
for the neither of them played for both And we
said we said Eric so could have also fit there
But we're we're not don't like anybody else that
would have played for Minnesota Buffalo And that's
that's the issue he could have fit in both squares,
so What about like gum thing back to let me make
an Antini Emmy did he ever play for Minnesota?
Can't tell but I don't think he ever played for
He never he never paid for Montreal. This is
the farthest he's has been as you know, St. Paul
area or the Prince of the area Well, it's somebody
like Halak, Yaroslav Halak Don't know if he played
for Minnesota I Mean my best guess is Buke's
dad, but I'm not confident that he played with
Montreal I think Florida, Pittsburgh, Minnesota
for sure. Minnesota, Arizona, Utah, Edmonton.
Edmonton. That's my best guess that I can throw
out there is Bukestead. Yeah, I'm trying. Yeah.
I don't think he did. This is when I pull that
in the ass maybe. Nah, damn. Ah, Bukestead. Eric
so yeah, there's a tall Thomas Vannick tells
you the order got chain gap nuts rise Jordy Ben
John Scott or some other ones from Minnesota
Buffalo That's the one we said and we forgot
about him. Oh, that's what we mentioned, but
then we forgot about him. Well, no, I Remember
I had to put down for Buffalo three plus teams
paid it And you said we weren't confident on
Minnesota, so that's why we backed off of him.
Because we weren't sure if he played for Minnesota,
yeah. Great role -setting Matt Molson, Tyler
Ennis, Josh. Man, Minnesota and Buffalo are really
like making trades with each other. Apparently.
Because there's a - Or players playing for the
same team, at least. Yeah, there you go. Alright.
It's honestly not horrible. Oh, we could also
put fucking Wayne Gretzky on there. And then
every number broke back bitch Wayne, uh, great.
Okay. All right, curry Thanks, man. It's now
yack off. Okay. I'm Talbot's and always New cheese
juicy opening Samson off. We could we could find
on that one. We'll fit in this one. Never mind
All right, we try the uh the hurdle we've been
doing Don't say him or mouth and give me most
cider vibes. Hey, he's out. I don't think he's
playing a game this year. He's playing right
now. Is he right now? Yeah. I'll say most cider.
Okay, it's in the Atlantic though. He's in the
Atlantic. Yeah right up the division right up
the mountain. Okay. He is not German. He's not
a defense man. He's older than 26. Numbers lower
than 53. 50. Lower than 50. Lower than 50. So
let's guess somebody random from there. from
Detroit. Where's um Skinner playing now? Oh Edmonton
right? Edmonton? Yeah. And he wore 53 so wouldn't
benefit. Oh yeah good call, good call. Somebody's
like 26, 27 or older from the Atlantic. Never
mind. Never mind. Do you want to go like? I'm
trying to remember what number Tage Thompson
is for Buffalo. 70 something. 72 I think. Well,
so he's a center Americana. He's either 28 or
29 years old, but his numbers are still pretty
high. I couldn't remember what his number was,
that's why I knew. But we're making steps, making
steps. Where's, no I hurtled with Vegas, right?
Yeah. Okay, he's a 28, 29 year old center on
the Atlantic team. That's not not thought to
be trying Suzuki He's been around for a while
he's getting up he'd be fine I mean he might
only be like 25, but oh He's trying to get the
team for the number two Okay, he's 25 American
That actually took off The other answer I was
going to say, because I was going to initially
say Cole Caulfield, but Mark Jarrow's not. Yeah.
Pulled up again. The hair almost looked like
Buffalo Day's Eichel. That's what I was thinking.
But his hair is also curly when it gets long.
That's the only issue. Oh, the bills tied it.
Like I said, we're going back and forth with
that. Let's just try to get the team out of the
way here. Let's go somebody from Ottawa. Maybe
like a... I can't really think of an American
from Ottawa. I'm just gonna... Brady Kachak is
the only one I can think of. Oh, Matt Kachak,
could be. No, okay. Still 27, damn. Getting closer
on the number. So the number is still between
like 40... 9 to 23 More fair. Oh, what about
um? Matthew nice isn't he American? Well, he's
also still young to nevermind Yeah Not nothing
can be Matthew's He's also is he wingers he center.
He's a center. Yes, but that's that's like you
get play wing That's not his hairdo. That's a
problem. Could it be someone from Toronto, though?
Mitch Marner? Well, no, he's Canadian. Never
mind. It's number two. His number is 16. We could
throw Matthews in there just to get to try to
get the team the number. That's almost right
in the middle for the number we would need. Below
34, okay. He's 27 too, yeah. So between 22 and
31. So teams were down to Ottawa, Boston, Tampa.
Yeah, that's it. Ottawa, Boston, and Tampa. Try
to think of younger guys on, mid -age guys on
Boston. Not pasta obviously, he's like boys also
Russian. It's Russian. Oh, he's not but he was
like check or something I can tell you that Charlie
coil he's like his numbers on 13. I think he's
up. He's a little bit more up Mid -30s foe foe
show Should've done this beforehand, but... Alright,
yeah, we need to... Ottawa, Boston, Tampa...
Oh, um... What was the number was? Oh, it can't
be Braden Point. Point's 19. We could at least
get the team if we guess Braden Point. I think
he's a little... I think he's Canadian, too,
but... Yeah. Oh, it is Tampa! Okay, it's Tampa
Bay. Tampa, 28. His number is 22, 23. Who does
that leave? Oh, fuck. Center. Is it one of their,
like, 30 -somethings? It's one of their, like,
third or fourth time centers, because their top
two centers are points. It's like that, like,
Michael Essiemont or something? Is that his name?
Essiemont? Like, E -S -S -Y? I know he's, like,
number 23 or something. If you want to try it.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what a fucking pull. You pulled
it out of your ass, man. I knew it was, I knew
it like once immediately like when we got Tampa
it had to be someone on their bottom. Yeah, I
knew, I wasn't even positive on his position,
but I knew he was number 23 and I knew his age
was close to that. But I wasn't, I also wasn't
positive on his nationality. But I also wasn't
positive that he was on Tampa. I knew, I was
pretty positive he was 23. Damn, all right. What
a poll. Hell, yeah Yeah, yeah, but uh, no jump
into our little Little mini games we got Tony
get your binary games ready. Yeah, Jeff. Why
don't you pull yours? Yeah, bring yours up. Why
pull mine up? I actually have one this week as
well. So both my stages here, I guess All right,
I have three this week three, okay Know I screwed
up on last week on the last episode a little
bit. Um This is between higher loader. This is
between Brandon Shen or Jordan Eberle Eberle
was drafted later than Shannon. Brandon Shen?
Yeah. And Jordan Eberle? Yeah, pretty sure. I
thought Jordan Eberle was like a top ten pick
He was one of those I was drafted in like the
couple years that Edmonton like had like Three
first rounders, like a top five. So you think
Shen is higher? I think Eberle is higher. I said
Vader is lower. Actually, Colin was right that
Eberle was lower. Shen was drafted 2009 in the
first round. Fifth pick overall. Everly was picked
first round by 22nd. Who's 22nd? When was Shen
drafted? 09. Or the what, like, overall? Um,
5th overall in the first round. Damn Shen, really?
Wow. Hmm. Alright, higher or lower, Sonny Milano
drafted higher or lower than TJ Brody. Where
do you get these, you pull these names out of
your ass? I just do it, I'm like... You squeeze
the wheel... That one! That one, like... Sonny
Milano and T .J. Brody. I couldn't tell you who
Milano was drafted by. Because I don't think
it was Anaheim. I was actually surprised. Was
it Anaheim? I'm pretty sure it was Anaheim. It
was Columbus. Yeah, I knew it wasn't Anaheim.
Columbus and I was kind of surprised on the ear,
too. Milano was earlier than Brody. I'll agree,
yeah. Actually, Brody was later, actually. Yeah,
Milano, yeah. Was earlier than Milano. Oh, wow.
When was Milano drafted, like 2010? Milano was
in 2014, Brody was 2008. Wow, yeah. Damn, very...
Oh, wait, I might... Are you... You're going
off of draft picks, like when you're drafting...
Yeah, higher or... Yeah, you're saying by the
year. He's a birdie was like well, I'll just
give you an estimate idea but overall the pick
like birdie was you have to hire then Yeah, I'm
sorry. I just I I heard you say he used to like
Brody was trapped away versus Malano's 14. Actually,
okay lower Brody was lower than Milano like higher
in the draft. Yes, like lower pick then yeah
Damn right Last one last one Was again Davidoff
higher or lower than Aaron Eklat? Davidoff was
later in the draft. Eklat was number one. Yeah,
Eklat was in the first overall 2014. 2014, correct.
Yep, you guys were correct on that one. Davidoff
on the same, was like maybe second round? Um,
Davidoff was third round, tenth pick overall.
Third round, okay. Wow. Alright, well, I... After
a heartbreaking buff for the loss, that's uh
That's uh, that's that's probably the most heartbreaking
I've felt for a team that wasn't my own team
to lose As much as I just I mean as much as I
don't want it to be the fucking Chiefs We have
a chance to see history see the first NFL team
in history to three Pete I don't wanted to see
I don't want it to be the fucking Chiefs, but
a chance to see history. I mean good to see it
twice this year See the Chiefs be the first team
to 3 -P and we'll make it to the COV, break the
record. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, Colin's got some
more blind rankings for us here. Alright, teams
at the halfway point of the season. This year's
teams, okay. This season's teams. Are they doing
great? Are they playing like shit? First up,
the Blue Jackets. They're they're on the bubble.
They're all bubble team. Yeah, they are I said
when we did our standings episode I said they
were gonna be playing for pride in it. I was
gonna say it's actually coming. Thanks for coming
up here I think they have I think they had the
second one entirely tied with Tampa Bay for the
wild card spot right now, so Give them the second
cycle through you got Jersey in the third from
the metro I know Tampa has a number one. 55 points.
Yeah Columbus. So they have the second wild card
spot at 55. I think Tampa has a tie break because
they have a game in hand. I don't think they're
three though. But they're not five. So I think
even down at four? Yeah. You called that? At
number four you got CBJ. The Toronto Maple Leafs
first in the amantic Second in the east. Are
they that good? I think second in the east right
now. They're second east only to the capitals.
Really? Yeah Like always they're gonna do they're
gonna pull if they do the rego season then This
is just how they're doing as of right now the
2024 2025 season Yeah, they're first and then
they have taken 62 points. They're one point
over second place, Florida both of them have
15 games fader. Oh They're third. I'm sorry.
They're third in the East behind Carolina and
Washington and they are seventh in the league
Okay, so there's only realistically 16 he can
give us to go above them. Is he gonna do one
probably two probably? Two or three Do we want
to try to put him at one? A sneaky one? I don't
know. What will I do? I say guaranteed at least
two. Do we try to sneak him in at one? That's
what I'm trying to be. I'm like, do I want to
put him in at one? He's been fucking with us.
We could sneak him in at one. Okay. Is that locker?
What do you say? I say sneak them in the one.
Sneak them in the one? I'm gonna sneak them in
the one. First round exits at number one. Yep.
Alright, next up. Washington. Of course. First
in the East, oh first Metro, first in the East,
first in the League. I think they're the best
in the League right now. They are the best in
the League. Well you gotta put them at two then.
Yeah. You gotta put that at two. I was gonna
say they are currently tied with Winnipeg at
71 points, but... have the tiebreaker because
they have two teams at hand. All right, Boston.
Oh, I mean they really have not been that good
this year. They're not doing, they're not on
a very good streak. I think they're maybe out
of a playoff spot as of right now. So that is
out of sync now. Currently, the wild card goes
as this. Boston holds number one. At 56 points,
Tampa has the number two at 55, and Columbus
is number three at 55. I was wrong. Tampa has
48 games played versus Columbus has 50. So, Tampa
has three games in hand over Boston, and Columbus
only has one. But either way, that's not what
we're doing. It's Boston. Do we put what? You
almost want to put in that three, but I'm not
feeling he's gonna give us like Winnipeg or something
here Or as he could give us Pittsburgh. I don't
know what I have I Think you get one with the
three. Yeah, yeah, I mean Man you really like
shit. I got a man that hasn't been here in weeks
Detroit is my last one. Okay. I mean, yeah Yeah,
that's I mean, that's they're doing decent, but
I don't think I don't think they're in a playoff
spot right now They're in the bubble hunt right
now. Are they in the bubble? Yeah, you really
like shitting on a man who's not here. Yeah,
Detroit, they're sixth. They are four points
out of the second wild card spot, with two games
in hand on Boston. Wait, that's honestly not
horrible, man. No. As of right now, if every
team pays 51 games, they will not make it playoff
spot. Excuse me. Anyway, that's not bad. Other
than maybe swap Washington and Toronto, we'd
do better. I'll take that. All right. My second
one, my final one is greatest Swede all time.
Oh, okay. Greatest Swede of all time. First up,
Henrik Lundqvist. The king. Damn. Oh. I'm thinking
again, middle or two. We're gonna have to bet.
We can leave some wiggle room, but... Oh, man.
We could go on all time. There's a lot of good
sweets. There are so many good ones. Matt Sendine
is up there. I'm... I'm okay with two or three,
which one are you okay with? I'm okay with two.
Two? Okay. Peter Forsberg. Peter Forsberg, yeah.
That's kind of why I was looking for him to leave.
Is he better than Matt Sundin is the question.
I would say yes. I would say yes. I'd put Forsbury
one. You're going to put him at one? I'm trying
to think of some current Swedes that maybe it
could be better. I said you got Carl... you got...
Eric Carlson, William? Both William and Eric
are sweet. Okay. I mean William Carlson I don't
think would be better than anybody on this list.
No. I feel like you guys are both overthinking
this and not thinking about it at all. Yeah.
I'd say three. Jeff? I initially said one so
we're kind of... I'm just things I feel like
there's one obvious one that we're missing. That's
gonna be a clear one So we get him if he gives
us sending books, you need a four and then the
other one is five but I'm okay with I feel like
the same thing But put them on one fuck it put
them out one, okay Three on my list, Daniel Alfredson.
Alfredson, okay, alright. That's actually not
a bad one. That's not a bad one. That's another
one though, if he does give us Matt Sundin, is
Matt Sundin better than Alfredson? You guys are
saying Matt Sundin is like, I would put him on
this list. I could, but like, he's your go -to
guy right now, isn't he? I'm just trying to keep
him in mind if you do use him. Alfredson... We
really want to do the one, two, three and then
go all the way down. With all due respect to
him, I'd almost have to put him at four, I think.
Yeah. With all due respect to the only Alfredson.
Uh, the next person on the list, Victor Hedman.
Oh, man. I won't give him at three, though. You
want to try to save three? I want to try to save
three, put them in five. Put them in five? That
one hurts, but... That hurts, but... Yeah, I
feel like he might give us an EK here. He might
give us, yeah, he might give us a Dean. Could
he give us either the Sudines? I think the Sudines
are both Swedish. Yes. Alright. I'm gonna surprise
you here. I hope he knows. This is back -to -back
line rankings where you're insulting a man who
hasn't been here in weeks Nick Lindstrom, okay.
No, I mean that's three. That's honestly that's
honestly fair though. I don't see fair. Honestly,
I would have put I want to I would have done
make Yeah, I could have bounced back before as
my question in strong, but those two would have
been wanted to I think this top three can be
Think rearranged in any one of those top three.
Yeah, I be rearranged in any order. I agree There's
argument I think for any one of those three to
be arranged in top three for you. I'm not mad
with that though Pretty solid. I'm not mad at
that one Again, if Ethan was here man, he wouldn't
hear I say he'd be fighting for her. He'd be
pissed Let's see, there's one, two, uh, three.
Three times so far that we've, you know, we would
have pissed Ethan off severely on this. I think
the one that irritated the most was the gold
tender one. Let's not talk about it. Let's not
talk about it. I'm still irritated from it. You
guys are fucking morons for that, okay? And I'm
not gonna ever do you down. well he had a feeling
the whole time and didn't say anything so he
could have spoken up like oh kyle this idiot
this guy's left a fucking moron great now i have
one a little minigame for us as well i can give
you a test one i get for calm before you got
here this is i'm gonna give you there are three
different categories i have a total of 10 players
for each category i'll list up the first one
You can guess whatever random category you think
you might fall under. For example, I'll do an
example right now. I'll do a different one than
I gave you so we can, um, you know. Um, let me
try to think. Uh, Chris LaTang. Defenseman. Defenseman.
Yeah. I could have been Chris LaTang, Kil McCarr,
Victor Headman. Roman Yossi. So keep going and
keep going until you can eventually get the correct
category. Alright? Okay. Alright. So first category,
Victor Headman. Scott Niedermeyer. Captains.
I guess. No. All right, Kael McCarr. Oh, Stanley
Cup Champions. No. That's actually a good one.
Pass. Duncan Keith. Con Smythe winners. Con Smythe
winners. Oh, fuck. Good job, Jeff. Other names
were Justin Williams, Jonathan Quick, Jonathan
Taze, Cindy Crosby, Evgeny Malkin, and Andrei
Dazaleski. Next category, Mike Rupp. I'm trying
to think, is Overtime Hero a winner? I bet it
is. Brad Boys. That's why I put those first two
to fuck with you guys, so you guys would guess
former hunters. Yeah. Yeah, I'm passing on this
one. Yeah. Derek Brassard. So then, Matt D. Shane.
Former OHL players? No, not a bad guess though
Can't tell it I Feel like as soon as it comes
that the answer counts to hit us with 50 pounds
of what the fuck yeah That's dope Max Doney Can
you go through the list again? I'll repeat what
you already said. Mic Rup, Brad Boys, Derek Brassard,
Matt Duchesne, Cam Talbot, Nikes Adoni. Former
of Nikes Adoni. No, not a bad guess though. Still
blanking? Yeah. Eric Stahl. Nope. Taylor Hall.
Why is this one so fucking tough? Like, I don't
know how all these players are connected. I'll
give you a hint. Think of longevity. Think of
like the longevity of their careers like think
of all these players entire careers For multiple
teams, I've been being trapped it's a specific
number I'm looking for. Oh Five teams players
that have played for at least five different
teams. Yeah, okay last two were Craig Anderson
and out Okay, yeah, it's a cat like I was going
through Taylor. You can tell I was going through
a table I was going through like boys I was thinking
you guys might have might have gone in when you
got to camp Talbot and then maybe don't me Thank
you, I got one more. All right first Carter for
Hagee that advance wouldn't have worked for him.
What were you going to say? I was going to say
players that were brought up through the Sabres
age of franchise. Oh no. Nothing. Okay. Brooks
Orphek. No. Mark Messier. American Warner Players?
No. Not a bad guess. Was Messier American? I
don't know. I don't even know if Verhage is American.
I think he is. I know Orphe is. I know Orphe
is. Brooks Orphe is named after Mr. Herb Brooks.
Oh yeah. No? No. Vlad Teresenko. Players that
are drafted blades but still want to stay in
the cup? No. Because Orpik was... Kind of on
the right track. Orpik was the seventh. Verhege
was the sixth. Teresango was the fifth. You're
getting there. You're thinking right. Next, Jonathan
Quick. Or was it undrafted? No, Teresango never
went undrafted. Never mind. Next one. Craig Adams.
No? Matt Cullen. Chris Kunitz. Oh my God. Yeah,
I'm drawing things here, man. Alex Martinez.
And last one, Pat Maroon. I want to say no, because
bro... No. Did you throw a guess out there? Yeah.
It was either, I was about to read it out before
the stream, players that want to stay in the
cup with their second team, or second or third
team, or players playing for their hometown team,
per se. Or winning a cup with their hometown
team. You almost had it. It's players that have
won a cup with multiple different teams. Okay,
with more than what with two at least two different
teams. Yeah, cuz Orpik did it with capital Washington
Yeah, Verhege with Tampa Florida Teresanga with
Florida and St. Louis quick with Vegas and LA
I remember with the other team Adams did but
um or Cullen but also Kuditz Anaheim. Cullen
was Carolina at Pittsburgh. Carolina at Pittsburgh.
That's right. Martinez Pittsburgh or LA in Vegas
now, right? Maroon, obviously. St. Louis, Tampa.
Yeah. And Messier, what? LA and New York. No,
not LA. Edmonton and New York. And the Rangers.
Carolina as well, for Craig Adams. Okay, Craig
Adams was the other one, yeah. Okay. Yeah, Craig
Adams, all of them drafted by the Hartford Winters
in 96. One in 06 with the Carolina Hurricanes,
and then 09 with... Craig Adams was drafted in
96? Yeah, he was born April 26, 1977. Wow, so
he's gonna be 40 in like a couple years. 47.
That'll be 50. He's 47 now. He'll be 50, damn.
He'll be 48 this year. Damn. Damn, damn, damn.
Playing career 99 to 2015. That was a good one
for Jeff, got that first one pretty quickly.
The cons by the winners. Yeah Yeah, then we you
guys got what the five teams on the eighth on
Taylor Hall Yeah, and then didn't get that didn't
get that last one I thought that I thought you
guys would miss the second one and not get the
third one, but Well, here we are. I thought you
would miss the second one and get the third one.
Sorry, but All right So if we feel like that
I can try to come up with more as well So each
each have our own little mini game every every
week and try to keep that going Yeah. All right,
and that will do it for this week's episode.
A little bit shorter than we usually have had
been recently. I know we've been averaging about
an hour and a half -ish. This one's a little
shorter than that, but... It's only been down
to three of us now. Yeah, so... Three of us with
the same IQ. Yeah, pretty much. No, I'm not testing
Ethan. Ethan's pretty good, but... Actually,
we have a higher IQ with...
