All right, everybody welcome to a weird not a
weird but a different night recording of the
buck puster podcast I think this is the first
time we've ever recorded in like a week night
Maybe when I think we did maybe a Monday night
why I might have been like a to like a season
two thing, but Yeah during the four nations face
-off final between Canada and USA currently in
the first intermission. We are watching it live
tied at one I was from Nick and McKinnon and
Brady Kachuk on a feed from Massey Matthews that
I don't think he meant to be a pass. I think
we'll talk more about what he did in our NHL
segment. I think it was just me and Collin were
just kind of rambling about Jordan Bennington
and then no second later. Yeah, Bennington took
a little bit of a flop. Apparently I was up in
the bathroom. Yeah, Bennington apparently took
a flop and I heard him screaming from up there.
And as I am getting to the bottom stairs when
Kachuk scores, so... Yeah, 1 -1 at the first
intermission. This tournament so far, man, has
been... It's been... It's been stellar, man.
This is... It's been insane. Also, if you hear
a bunch of typing, Colin is currently getting
something set up for our main topic. We will
get there when we get there. But, uh, yeah. Anyways,
back to it. Yeah, this tournament has been so
fun. this has been way more fun than I was expecting
like to be completely honest with you I was expecting
you know it to be pretty cool pretty fun I was
expecting it to be similar to like you know the
three on three NHL All -Star game that they knew
but obviously five on five version but um it's
it's been fun as hell to watch man every game
so far has been fun as hell to watch I think
the only two games I actually missed were the
first like legit the first two games of the I
think I missed the ones that were during the
day because I was working, so. I didn't miss
that one. The Thursday night, or Thursday afternoon,
the fitting in Sweden and then the Monday afternoon
between Canada and... Yeah, I did miss that one,
too, because the other ones were, one, the Canada
and Sweden was in during an honors game, so I
kind of didn't miss that one, but, like, overall,
this tournament's been a lot of fun, like, this
kind of, it feels like... the olympics like i
mean and honestly this is giving us a preview
of what's to come next year what we can see next
year so a lot of these a lot of these guys the
majority of these guys on both sides of these
two teams are probably going to be on next year's
olympic rosters i mean the chuck brothers for
sure mathies for sure crosby is probably iffy
depend if he can stay healthy same with probably
mark stone Not in the IR. It's not that tenure
yet. Well, after the Olympics, I'll go on IR.
That's the thing. It's normally around All -Star
break. All -Star break, which is this weekend
or last weekend. But obviously the best game
was the first matchup between these two teams.
We're ahead. the three fights in two fights in
three seconds and then three fights in nine seconds
just absolutely unbelievable i don't know what
it is like just watching we were sitting here
watching it sorry to cut you off but we're sitting
here watching it and just just we were just laughing
just in shock that that like what did we just
witness like what is going on like i um i don't
know this like just These last two that game
especially I don't know why it just being even
before the hype It was given before the game
even begin like the hype Was just giving a bunch
of goosebumps. I mean, let me the punch drops
and then you see it Oh, there's one glove to
blow up their gloves are dropped. All right,
we're fighting already Then they go the next
puck drops and boom another fight started the
Kachurk brothers beat the shit out of what Brandon
Hagel and No, Matt fought Hagel and Brady fought
Sam Bennett. Because I don't be a very awkward
read in Florida when it's Bennett versus Matthew.
Yeah, true. Who was the third one? Pareko and
J .T. Miller. J .T. Miller, that's right. That
was absolutely insane, man. McDavid with one
of the most beautiful breakaway snipes I've seen
in a long time. ended up being Canada's only
goal, America going on to win 3 -1. As I said,
the goals came from Jack Eichel, Jake Gensel,
and... No, no. Two from Jake and one from Dome.
It was Jake, Dome, Jake. Jake got the goals.
Eichel was the assist on Gensel's goal. The primary
assist on Jake's first goal. I believe Jake ended
up getting player of the game for that as well.
first star honors. First star and then Brady
handed Johnny Goodrow's jersey to Jake at the
end of the game. I love how they're using that
as like you know like some teams have like their
helmet or I know the Penguins have like that
victory helmet or whatever and something to do
like a stick. It changes from year to year and
it's obviously different from team to team but
Team USA's is Johnny Goodrow's jersey or what
would be his jersey. They made this jersey of
him for him. and keeping it hanging up in the
locker room. I know that you saw Mike Irizoni
was wearing it. He was the honorary captain.
He wore that out to the ice. Yeah, that was pretty
freaking cool. That was pretty awesome to see
that, man. I wish it was this style jersey, you
know? Like they wore, yeah. That would've been
pretty sick. The miracle on ice in the days.
Yeah, as we are just sitting here on a Thursday
night, like we said, the first time we've done
this, like on a Thursday night for sure. Going
back... to what would have been the last recording.
We were going to record this past Sunday on the
16th. We ran into some bad weather here in good
ol' Erie, Pennsylvania. A mistake on the lake.
We ran into some really bad weather. I actually
got some pretty bad weather right now. To tough
it out this time. It wasn't as bad as it was
on Sunday night. That was much worse. It was
more just the wind on Sunday night. It was just
the wind was making it way worse. Visibility
was just horrible. The roads are pretty slick
tonight, but the visibility is doable, so we
made it happen tonight. Yeah, since the last
recording... It was the... We were recording
the 9th. Yeah, we were recording Sunday the 9th.
And since then the orders are 2 and 2. Seems
like we're 2 -0 and 1. I said 2 -1 and 1, sorry.
2 -1 -1 since I was recording with a shootout
win against the Ice Dogs on a Wednesday night.
Which that was... Can we talk about that one
before? I know you guys were there, so this is
all you guys. Yeah, we have to talk about that
one. That one, hands down, best goaltending duel.
we have seen so far this season. I think Noah's
best game this season. So far. Between Noah Erdelin,
I forget his first name, but fours from Niagara.
Oh and fours. Oh and fours. Both of them were
just, they were both standing on their heads.
The only reason why it was tied at one. The only
reason why it went to a shootout is because both
those guys played absolutely fucking fantastic.
That's the thing. I cannot praise neither Noah
nor Owen enough for that game. I think I turned
it on about midway through the third. I turned
it on at home and started watching and then I
saw that I saw a Niagara Tide with what was like
three minutes left or something like that. No
it was just over two minutes because Lucas and
Brosio took a stupid delay of game penalty with
a 206 left in the rest of regulation. I went
right in the bathroom and I came back and it
was 1 to 1 and I was like, motherfucker. Yeah,
I looked over at Jeff and I was like, well, it
wasn't Ty Henry. Yeah, it was about 1730. Sorry,
Ty, I had got you listening, but I gotta stop
taking penalties, my dude. Yeah, it was about
1730 is when they got... So, 222. Yeah. But,
like... Again, like I feel bad. I really want
to know how to get that shut that shut out But
some of the place he made in that overtime period
Between some of the amazing stops to spring and
Sam Alfano That goal was kind of something he
didn't really have control over over saving It
was just kind of a wide open and nice play for
me. Yeah, it is just a bad kind of poor defensive
and Nothing else he could have done. Yeah, he
did everything that he could it's just Unfortunately,
a bad balancing, you know, that's gonna happen
to anybody over the course of, you know, a 67
or an 82 game season. You're gonna get... Unfortunately,
it was a Wednesday night. I don't think there
was a very good crowd there that night. No, there
was. No, but I mean... Erie is not very good
at doing good crowds on weeknights. Or Sundays
during football season. But I mean, you know,
if Ips and Butts were candies and nuts, the world
would be a much better place. But hey, who are
we to complain? And then they went on the road
to do a double header against the Owens Town
attack. They fell 8 -5 on the 14th. Honestly,
um... Did you say it was a heartbreaker on Valentine's
Day? Yeah. Get out. Jeff, you can stay here tonight
and Kyle can get the freak out. Yeah, then the
following night went on to win a really exciting
4 -3 overtime victory. Which I did end up watching
the majority of that one on TV. That was a really
good game. And then this past Monday night, the
17th, a 2 -1 overtime loss to the Oshawa Generals.
Get our rematch with the Oshawa Generals here
in Erie tomorrow night. Or tonight, depending...
Well, depending on when you're listening to this,
yeah. But for us, it's tomorrow night. Well,
yeah. It's gonna be tonight because, you know,
it's absolutely never... Never mind. Well, I
was gonna say, for us, right now. Yeah, no, I
get it. But for when this will be released, it
will be tonight the 21st. Yeah, I'd say I think
the one biggest take out of that first on the
sound game was literally two hatchets were For
an own sound team that really isn't that spectacular
Yeah, they're they're fifth in the division but
eighth in the conference so they're honestly
they're not that good no but the only saving
race i honestly would say right now is carter
george right now over there in goaltending yeah
i mean he's a good goaltender don't get me wrong
it's just it's it's you're going to struggle
with you know a mid team in front of you yeah
and and i said in the other tape is that um new
brand new head coach um chris malab um mabella
um yeah played his first game as head coach for
the otters and then um I think one of the biggest
thing that was, like I told these guys immediately
on, I think we expect Karrie to be out for probably
at least... That was a rough sight to see, man.
I know. There's a fan page that we're all in
and I know somebody in there was at the game
and they said it's not looking good here at the
arena so it's... But I mean he's for as bad as
it was you think he I mean he was moving his
extremities by the time I even got him off the
ice and then got into the hospital He was you
know, you know communicating moving all the extremities
as well And it was really released the next day
was with the team the next day So obviously in
a sling, but I mean he's still walking around.
He's still doing stuff with with the team So
I wouldn't hope to see maybe nice to see him
and Schaefer come back around the same time Maybe
towards the end of the regular season pushing
playoffs time I doubt it. I carry, I don't expect
to be back. Schaefer is more unlikely, more unlikely.
It just depends. I haven't obviously seen Schaefer
at the games. Recently at the home games like
he I know he stopped in for parents ass land
that he green meat He wasn't with a swing. He
wasn't yeah, he's walk around. I think he's skating
no contact. No pads He's just you know, he's
on skates get his feet back under him So I'd
expect him to rejoin the team with non contact
Jersey here soon But who knows, just because
the team unfortunately is kind of in a tight
spot, not being able to disclose some of these
injuries because some of these players are still
minors. So it'll be curious to see if anybody
can get updates on how both Schaefer and CT -10
are. Just to get one of those guys back, oh my
god. More than likely Schaefer. Yeah, so I noticed
even when we were talking with one of our...
season tickle or friends that sits in front of
us like we are talking we did just tell the defense
just they never I Think they don't have always
the confidence like without shape for being there
every night right right now. We don't have a
true Number one defenseman like but as strong
as McCall's been as strong as solder can be as
awesome as Henry could be Assuming he's out of
the box, but it's strongest. He's not taking
a penalty four minutes into the game Yeah, as
strong as those three those three guys could
be really they are not right now the number one
defenseman in the area that honestly belongs
to Matthew Schaefer Yeah, and once we get him
back the blue line is gonna look a heck of a
lot better The only question would be, who are
they scratching? And my vote is on Ambrosio.
As good as he is, he's just, he's young. He still
has some time to grow up. Yeah, by the time the
next recording hits, we'll have played six more
games, five of them being at home. As a matter
of fact, seven of the Otters' next eight games
are all at home. So that's gonna be an insane
stretch of a hockey year. Yeah, I think what,
three of them are... Three or four of the last
12 games are on the road. Yeah. Which is awesome.
Yeah, I was going to say, on the 21st, which
is tomorrow, they're home against Austin Generals.
And then on the 26th... 15 games less than only
four of them are on the road. Dude, there's going
to be a lot of hockey at the area insurance.
It's going to be buzzing. It's going to be popping.
And then we obviously have the London Nights
coming into town. The Evil Empire on Star Wars
night. Honestly, the make -up game that was supposed
to happen on back in November, the Flint Firebirds
are in town on the 24th, and then they hit the
road again for the final time in St. Catharines
against Niagara. That's at least the upcoming
games within the next week. And then by recording,
there's two more home games after that as well.
Saturday the 1st against the Flint Firebirds,
and then Sunday afternoon, we'll probably record
that evening against the Peter Burr Pete's. But
also the game is back on we're already about
five minutes into the second So if you hear ooze
eyes or fucks or screaming and mic breaking.
Yeah, you find that something happened. So Yeah,
looking at the otters Seven games seven of the
last 15 games are inner division To to London
to Owen sound And in two of Guelph. Two of Guelph
and a Sardinia. Oh no, Sardinia's the east. Sardinia's
in the west. Oh yeah, so it's, I'm sorry, that's
six of the last 15, so. Oh, okay. We had two
more outside of the actual division. We had at
total four more western conference outside of
the... Yeah, we have four more against the eastern
conference. We got... We got two against Niagara,
we got one against Oshawa, and one against Ottawa.
Ottawa. Oh, and Peterborough. Yep. So, five.
So, either way, we're gonna have it. It's gonna
be down to the grind of, you know, these points
mostly against the West, mostly against our division.
That's why we're gonna have to make this up.
I know there's still a shot for us to get that
fourth seed, get some home ice advantage throughout
the playoffs. Because now the biggest race is
with Saginaw. Is it Saginaw? Saginaw. Because
they're currently sitting in fourth right now.
I think we're two, three, four points behind
them. We're five points behind them. Five behind
them. Do we have games in hand? No. We're tied?
No. Yeah, we have the same amount of games in
hand. I'm sorry, we have one game in hand. It's
an uphill battle, so we're going to have to win
at least 10 or 11 of the last 15. But you know,
theoretically, some of these are easier. Or we
should win. Two games against Niagara. Peterborough.
Oshawa. The two games against Oshawa. The two
games against Guelph. Or not Oshawa. Two games
against Old Sound. I actually just saw a fact.
Saw him today on New HL's film. like twitter
like the last time the otters had a beat in the
offshore general was 2020 and that so it's been
a really it's been a whole other way it was lost
that's a lot man been up since 2020 yeah damn
that's kind of crazy to think i thought that
was kind of interesting when i kind of saw that
when i was just going through their um their
media seeing what news was going on around the
league but i was looking at the right Playoff
race like right now pretty much Bramford, Barry
and Oshawa Kingston have clinched for the East
as at this moment and then London Windsor and
Kitchener have for the West so far right now
the biggest races Really is gonna come down Niagara
and Brampton should in Sudbury should be potentially
clenching here since specifically Niagara and
Brampton But it's anyone's game in the For that
sixth spot in the West right now because when
Sarni and Sarni are like now two points behind
each other Sue and Owen sound are one point behind
each other for each spot crazy So far, magic
numbers to clinch for the West. Sagni is 15.
Eerie is 19. And I got to figure out 6 through
8, because they're still a little ways away.
6 to 10 is interchangeable right now. Yeah, there's
8 points between 6 and 10. 8 points for 3 spots.
But yeah going back to this four nations tournament
man the funny funny like tweet I saw yes, we're
still calling tweets. Fuck you Oh, I posted an
X the other day no, I fucking posted a tweet
so you posted one of your ex Exactly. I'm all
fucking saying that It said oh the NFL Pro Bowl
has now become a flag football game the NBA All
-Star game. Nobody's even cares defense is non
-existent and here it is this four nations tournament
players are scoring goals throwing haymakers
and throwing down hits like their lives depend
on it and it's some of the most exciting hockey
we've ever seen like it's fucking life or death
out there like if you lose you're gonna fucking
die it's some of the most exciting hockey we've
seen in possibly debatably our lifetime like
besides olympic hockey it's crazy i didn't bring
it up a bit ago but like Was saying on you obviously
seen in world juniors team USA beat Canada many
times but like this like just Saturday low it
felt like Miracle and ice all over again just
with the Canada didn't just need the amount of
like Not pressure just like the amount of excitement
and just the importance that the game felt I
mean, you know that team USA we wanted to you
know show them we weren't fighting. If you're
going to take us down, we're not going down without
a fight, literally. And three fights. We're not
going down without three fights. And in nine
seconds. Wait, wait, hold on. I wonder if there's
like an actual true term out there, terminology
out there for a hat -trick of fights. I don't
know. We got it though. Not one player, obviously,
but the teams as themselves did. In nine seconds,
fastest hat -trick ever recorded. Daddy happy
baby daddy. How do you? Know Cooper and Torch
are screaming at each other point. So we're like
is Cooper I wanted I wanted Helly and Benny to
go at it dude. That would've been insane. I've
been so much fun. I Mark Scheiffer, I think I
let me let me look this up real fast on my Twitter.
Yeah, no, Mark's trying. He said after that third
fight, he was like, go is next? Coaches? And
I tweeted, Torz versus Cooper. He got a laugh
out of that. So I'm just like, let's go. I'm
sorry if I say his last name wrong, but I don't
know how to say his last name. But yeah, honestly,
I think anybody would have loved to see a Torz
versus Cooper matchup. But anyway, yeah, the
biggest thing I have now that I understand that
I want is that I know this is the first year
that we are doing the Four Nations, that we are
doing the Four Nations face -off. I would like
to see improvement, yes, but I know we won't
see that till 2027 with the Winter Olympics happening
next year. So, okay, I get this. I know the World
Cup, like, was supposedly, like, they're supposed
to be bringing that back. I saw that. It was
supposed to come back, but I don't know if it
was officially confirmed confirmed But I like
this set up right here of they know how the four
nations do to the three the three to one point
system the round robins everything so I Wanted
to see a team, you know, honestly, it's even
Czech Republic Czech Czech come back and come
in Slovakia come in Germany That's a hot topic
at least right now like it honestly kind of is
a hot topic i i know the i mean if it's a hot
topic more or less if you're political and neither
one of us are nearly anywhere close to being
political well yeah but well if you look at it
i don't know if you guys saw this on twitter
but like apparently russia isn't allowed to participate
in a double ihf hockey until that's why they
haven't been a world junior so really yeah last
few years at least until the 2027 calendar year
That's when they might renegotiate or re -let
them in. But as of right now, Russia isn't able
to compete in the Frozen 4 Frenzy. The Olympics
are kind of meh. Stuff like the Frozen 4 Frenzy,
that's why there's zero thoughts on having Russia
join. I didn't know that. Okay, interesting.
But I know down the road, obviously shit changes.
So it would be nice to see, obviously it would
have been nice to see... players like Alex Ovechkin,
Evgeny Malkin, Kucherov, Vassilaski all team
up together on an ice surface like that, but
it's just... Imagine a first line of Malkin,
Kuch, and Ovi. Oh my god. I mean, obviously Malkin
can play centers. I mean, Kuch, Malkin, Ovi,
or Ovi. Yeah, it'd be Ovi, Malkin, Kuch, because
I believe Kuch is right winger. Yeah. But that
would be... I know McDavid was interviewed about
this like asking him about this Four Nations
like says he thinks it's incredible he says basically
it would be nice to have some of these other
nations like some of the guys who aren't playing
who aren't sitting at home watching this it would
be nice for them to So like we said Germany,
Russia, like eventually... Well the only thing
is Germany, at least out of the NHL Germany doesn't
have enough players. Well that's why you're doing
Team Europe, like they did a couple, like back
in 2016, a Team Europe. So you get you guys,
you know, you can team up, you know, the Czech
Republic and Slovakia together, with Germany
and Great Britain. The two that come to mind
for the big German guys right now are Stutzla
and Dreissel. Yeah. But those are the only two
words that come to mind personally for me. Well,
that's where you can make the argument shove
them onto Team Europe. And then you do got a
full line up there of European guys that don't
really fit into anywhere else, but you would
like to see them compete for international pride.
So that would be kind of like a cool concept
to grab. Obviously it's up for discussion after
the Olympics, like let's get to the Olympics
first, but down the road it would be a nice little
thing for hockey fans all over the world to see.
Like I will say this, I much rather would watch
this every year than in all honesty the All -Star
break. I'd much rather watch this every year
than watch the Penguins right now to be honest
with you. This weekend still watch Crosby play,
so I'm fine with that. When we took that pause
break to the US, did take the 2 -1 lead. Jake
Sanderson found the back of the net. Kind of
a very similar goal to the first one. Kind of
just a lucky pass redirect out front that he
got a stick on and put it right over the pad
of Finnington. He's got 2 -1 Americans right
now. Fuck yeah. While we're doing this, we've
got a split screen here. Let's do some huck doku.
All right go across oh Foreignation so for all
three columns we have the four nations face -off
and then for the Rose we have go top to bottom
200 plus goal scored 200 plus assist and 1 ,000
plus games played in their career all -time career
Okay, so obviously sitting across we fit into
anywhere you got David can fit anywhere Yeah,
he just did. No. No, no, no. David hasn't. No,
we're thinking of 1000 points. I'd say Marshawn,
I think, can fit just about anywhere. Yeah, because
Marshawn's been around, this is his 16th season,
because he joined Boston when he was 20. So I
think across the bottom, do Crosby, Marshawn,
which I think one of these guys has been around,
Kopitar? No, he's not. No, he didn't play. That's
the thing. Drew Dowdy, how many games has he
played? He's played a lot. Oh, he's well, yeah.
So yeah, Crosby, Marshawn, and Dowdy. Oh my god,
Canada almost had it. Alright, cool. We'll do
that for the 1 ,000 games played. Alright, 200
assists. Well, we'll obviously shove David in
our back pockets for, hey, it's our last resort.
Try to do a little bit of a different, somewhat
different, I mean, don't make it too obvious.
KMROCAR has 200 assists, right? Yes. So let's
do that, we'll do a car. Maybe like a Dylan Larkin?
Marker Where where would we fit more to me because
I feel like he's doing the assist I said Carlson.
Oh, okay. We can do you can yeah, let's do you
get Then working He has to have a 200 since by
now he's been around the league only one percent.
I mean maybe people didn't think so And then
200 goals, you know, we'll throw Well, let's
see if we can get more make a little more rare
Jake Intel Jake and bacon No bias at all when
we have three penguins up here The Matthews and
McJesus probably the easiest one I think we've
ever done. Hell, we have what? One, two, four,
the four of the five jerseys. I don't want to
see what wasn't even looking. I was looking at
the screen the whole time. Four of the five jerseys.
Technically, we're going to do a magnifying glass,
so we're going to do a five for five, baby. All
right, let's do the junior and then the other
pyramid do over here. Of course Matthew's up
top down two or three bottom Mitch Marner Sasha
Barkov Let's do the junior watch it also be four
nations Mike Sillinger teammate and Mike Smith
teammate for the Columns and then Calgary and
Edmonton So Edmonton Mike Smith teammate At least
for this we could do Leon we couldn't do you
know Connor we do nurse we can do Okay, so let's
let's do darn others I think you gotta do Johnny
Hockey for Calgary Nikesmith teammate. Yeah,
okay. You gotta do Johnny Hockey. G -A -U? G
-A -U? I'm trying to think of like when he would
have been here on those two teams. I don't even...
know who he is he's the dude that's been tied
for like trading the most bad times he's been
traded 10 different times i think he's played
for like 12 teams but he's been traded 10 times
yeah i don't i don't even know what his era would
be that's why my issue is i don't know his era
i want to say like uh maybe like an alma guinness
for uh calgary by when did he play type in now
we get since when was his time frame What's the
80s? 81 to 04. I'd be confident to do McGinnis
then. No? When the fuck did Cylinder play? And
he can't have just tied in it too. Damn. Brandon
Hagel? Or was it Bennett? No, it wasn't Bennett.
Damn. Oh, it is Bennett. I don't know when Cylinder
can play it. That's my only issue with it. with
that yeah I'm not just do like fuck I don't know
Dwayne roll us in for Edmonton let's see the
guy with the goalie with the the bronze pads
I think so Mike Vernon okay and Ryan Smith Messier,
Broner Billy Garen on there Chris Broner, Ray
Whitney Holy yoking in Darren McCartney. Yeah,
I would've. Let's do out of the pyramid too.
Hurt all it is. Oh, sorry. Silhouette time. What
do we got? Kill McCar. No. It almost looks like
it could be. If that's it, I'm walking out. I'm
retiring. I can't get any better than that. So
we got Colorado, we got the Western Conference,
and we got the Central Division. He's on Colorado,
so... He's not a defenseman, and he's above the
age of 28. So 29 or older. And he's not Canadian.
No, he's 26. He's 27 or 28. Oh, I'm taking something
completely different. He's not Canadian. Could
that be like a... Not a name -ac, his name -ac
is also Canadian. Age. Who's their goalies right
now? Who came over from San Jose? From San Jose.
In the Gorgia of Trenton. Oh god, I have no idea.
Was it Blackwood? Yes. Could that be McKinsey
Blackwood? Because they got both Blackwood and
Scott Wood from Nashville. No, he's on stone.
Maybe this hasn't updated yet. It might be Scott.
So he's 28. Is he a goalie though? They said
it was a goalie. So who's their other goalie?
It's Scott Wedgwood. Is it Scott Wedgwood? That's
who's their current other goaltender. No. Nashville.
So this is definitely outdated. So would it be
Gorgium then? Oh my god, who's their other goaltender,
bro? Oh my god. Yeah, they just haven't updated
it like since the beginning of the season, I'm
guessing. Oh my god. Who's their other goaltender?
It's not on. Oh my god. I don't know who their
other goaltender is, dude. Do we know? I was
about to say, I immediately knew who their three
were currently, or was. I mean, we know it's
a Colorado Goaltender, so I'm looking it up.
We know it's a Colorado Goaltender. Call me a
cheater, fuck you, I don't care. It would be...
Okay, we guess both blackwood and Wedgewood,
and it's not on here. That's why I said this
has to be Outdated now officially outdated because
who was in that trade? Gerasav was I know that
Gorgiev yeah, he was Is it Use this a new name.
Yeah Are we stood are we missing something no,
it's finish go tender Thank you, what the hell
We are we missing something are we dumb He's
a place for Colorado. He's a goaltender. He's
a Finnish goaltender that plays for the fucking
avalanche What other trades did they make? Scott
Wedgewood uses a new name Blackwood's on there.
Dirk is out there and Aaron that's on there.
What's what's on there? Would it just rain? Randomly.
I'm just kind of looking through. Just kind of
getting an idea of me being...me being... Never
mind. I'm stupid. I don't know who the hell it
could be then. Keppel Kalkinen? Okay. Doesn't
have his fucking...doesn't show his real picture.
He doesn't show his real picture, and he's only
played one frickin' game! so far this season
of course like okay well we got it but we would
not want to guess that without cheating but all
right that's disappointing that's very disappointing
yeah it's sad that we knew the goaltenders of
colorado so let's pull up a um a different uh
puck doku grid search up immaculate grid hockey
because there's another site that i use Click
on one of those. Okay, here's a little more difficult
one. So across the top of the columns, we got
the Ducks, the Devils, and 40 goals in a season.
And then across the side for the Rose, we got
Toronto, Philly, and Buffalo. Good luck finding
one that scored 40 goals for Buffalo. No, Tate
Thompson has, I know that. He had that 50 -goal
season, what, the 22 -23 season? So, alright.
Yep, let's say we put Austin Madden for 40 goals
for Toronto. I'll say for Philly 50 -plus, let's
go for Pajero. Right, he's some 50 -plus, right?
I'm not confident in that, that he's what, 50
goals? Or 40 in the season? Alright, Sean Couturier,
Yom Yom Yom can fit in there. What if he has
140 with Philly though? It has to be with that
team. Yager could fit, do Flyers Devils. Yeah.
And then... Anaheim... Yeah. Freddie Emerson.
Yeah. That's totally what I want to do. Where
the fuck is he? Well, I proceeded to try and
find him. There he is, Frederick Anderson. Did
Wayne Simmons play for the Devils? No, he's played
Philly, he's played Buffalo, he's played Toronto,
he's... LA. He's played everybody for the Rose.
And nobody for the Columns. Oh, Ducks Fires Jamie
Drysdale. Oh, yeah. Anaheim. I know for Anaheim,
Buffalo, but I'm just trying to figure out Buffalo,
New Jersey. Tell. Buffalo, New Jersey? Yeah.
Miller for Anaheim, Buffalo. And then... So Toronto,
New Jersey. Jonathan Bernier? Has played Toronto.
I'm not sure about Jersey. I'm pretty confident
he like recently played for New Jersey. Like
how recently? Like ended his career there. I'm
like... Fifty -five percent sure. Well, where's
the other 45 man? Not sure. Is it somewhere up
your asshole? Let me go check it for you man.
I'm more positive than I'm not for Jonathan Bernier.
Ooh, hot dog. What's that doing over here? I
mean, I'm more confident with that than I am
for Giroud scoring 40 goals in a season. Well,
sugar honey ice tea. I'm pretty, I'm... fuck.
I mean, you can be doubtful, but I'm pretty positive
it's Charter de Bernier. I think it's B -E -R
-N -I -E -R. So 22, I got that one. Yeah. Okay.
Nice. Okay, 30%. I thought so. And then, I mean,
if you guys are, if you were calling, but it
was your rule. Awesome. We do 18 for 18. No!
I told you, I knew it, dude. I knew he did not
score 40 goals in a season. Only 13 players have
ever done it for Philly. That's kind of pathetic,
to be honest. That's really sad. Paylars have
done it multiple, Jeff Carter? John the Clare
Eric Lindros Mark Recky did it for the Flyers
Wow 53 Tim current back -to -back 58 goals. He
did a couple times But back -to -back kids Three
years three years in a row juggle period from
95 96 to 97 98 if you want 50 51 yeah Damn They
went on to score another two more 40s after that
a Flyer hasn't had a 40 -goal season since 2008
2009 That's kind of pathetic and kind of funny
because it's the fires Go ahead. Big Jeff Carter
did it for the Flyers in 2008 -2009. Go ahead,
Johnny. Go ahead and say it. The year we won
the cup, man, baby. It was the last time the
Flyers had a 50 -goal score, or 40 -goal score.
And it was Jeff Carter who went on to play for
the Penguins. Fuck the Flyers! Thank you, Johnny.
Thank you, Johnny. That's... That's... What?
Pathetic. Alright, on to the main topic, or...
Yeah, the main topic was... Tonight's episode,
obviously we'll do the easier half, the back
half later, just because we won't have enough
time to put all of the rosters onto NHL 25 and
simulate them. But, all that it is, is we are
going to take a roster of any one of the 32 NHL
teams, and practically decide whether we get
to swap out players, or whether we get to keep
the players. So, the example that I've used is...
When explaining, like when pitching this idea,
see if I got Vancouver, all right? And I had
the task, okay, the first player I'm swapping
out is Goaltender. Do I want to keep Thatcher
Demko? And if I say I spawned the Florida Panthers,
it's either keep Thatcher Demko or yank Sergei
Brabroski and have him be my starting Goaltender.
On Vancouver. On Vancouver. And then do that
for the entirety of the line. It'll make sense
as we go. We're going to build our rosters, all
20 players, 12 forward, 6 defensemen, 2 goaltenders.
And then we will put them into NHL 25. Colin
will work on that throughout the week and throughout
next recording. And we'll give you the results
of a simulation during next recording. So, stay
tuned for that. Now you have a reason to come
back. Ha! So, who wants to start for the first
team? Since I have Colin's idea... Hold on. One,
two, three. Alexa! Pick a number between one
and three. Here's a number between one and three.
It's three. Okay, so I get to go first and then
same numbers. Jeff is one, Kyle's two. Alexa,
pick a number between one and two. Here's a number
between one and two. It's one. So it'll go me,
Jeff, Kyle. So the team that I am going to be
rebuilding here will be... I will be rebuilding
the Calgary Flames. Jeffy? Okay. Next man. Next
one up. I will be... Rebuilding... Come on, Biz!
You were kind of screwed regardless. Buffalo
or Columbus. I honestly wanted to rebuild Buffalo.
Alright, and Kyle. Last man up. Well, you will
be rebuilding Yeah, that's right All right So
I'll be let me pull up Calgary sign up here So,
yeah, we're going to dailyfaceoff .com. We're
going to pick from that roster, use those rosters.
Starting at the first line left winger. Yeah,
we're going to, you know, left wing, center,
right wing, one through four, then left side,
right side defense, one through three. They're
easily cheating, be like, oh, I got Pittsburgh,
I want to do Cindy Carpenter. Nope, tough shit.
You have to take the first line left winger.
So that's where it makes it difficult. You can't
just free ball it. You have to choose between
the two. Now, I'm assuming Daily Face Off, you
know, they're going off the lines from the last
regular season game each franchise has played
in before... Yeah, for example, I'm looking at
Anne Heimsen. It says last updated February 18th
at about, almost 10 p .m., so... Yeah. Calgary
for minus February 20th. So, again, alright,
that was today. Oh, my turn. That's February
18th. Well, either way, the last regular season
game before the Four Nations break. all right
so I spin the wheel and see either I keep what
is currently Calgary's first line left winger
so Calgary's first line goes left to right Jonathan
Huberto, Nazan Kadri and Matt Coronado so I get
to pick from Minnesota so I'm just gonna look
at Kyle's line up here Jonathan Huberto Jonathan
Huberto or Playing the Four Nations face -off,
Matt Boldy. Oh, I'm gonna do Matt Boldy. Okay.
Oh, if you could please write down your teams,
like, from where your, like, your team, original
roster, and the team you're drafting them from,
it would make my life a hell of a lot easier
than trying to go through every single one. Alright
Jeff, the team you are picking from for your
left -wing one will be... Nashville! So, let
me bring up Columbus. Current Columbus left -wing
is Demetri Voronovikov. And then, hold on, actually
Nashville. Where the frick is Nashville? Right
there. Currently, line one... Uh, Philip Forsberg.
That's your left wing first line. I think I'll
take Philip Forsberg first. Alright. There you
go for spelling, Jeff. I'm good. Alright, and
Kyle. For your first overall draft pick. Matt
Boldy. Or... For Dallas. That's gonna be... Jason
Robertson. Oh, Jason Robertson. Are you fucking
kidding me? 100 % Jason Robertson. You're gonna
steal. Alright. So for me, replacing Nazem Kadri.
Potentially replacing Nazem Kadri. Oh, no! Say
it in the list! Oh, hold on. Actually, who is
there number one? Is it Kairu? I think it's Kairu.
C -center? Robert Thomas. Okay. No, I'm gonna
keep Nas and Kadri. Really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah,
he's like the Matthew Kachuk. Has some scral,
has some grit, but also has some stick handling.
So, Jeffy, you're gonna pick? from san jose their
first sign center map is celebrating who's your
first sign center i think i gotta keep ventilly
yeah just for uh i mean not a whole lot more
experience yeah somebody's first year he was
injured for some time so it's tough to choose
but uh and they're both good like so for my first
line center i get marco rossi or is that going
to be jimmy ben i guess i get dallas again group
eight hit oh that one's oh i think i gotta take
a rip of hints as well so pretty much you're
just taking your players off of dallas and plugging
them into midasota pretty much Alright to finish
out my top top line either Matt Coronado or a
respin because I got Calgary. Oh Anaheim Right.
Okay. Yeah the Ducks Alex Clorn I Don't even
know like I don't really know much about Matt
Coronado. I know more about Alex Clorn so I'm
Okay, starting after my second my third term
after that we finished his first line Do we make
a rule where if we spend our team we are stuck
with that player? Do we just want to keep resetting?
Like what do you mean like like I have Minnesota
say you get to me like you just spun Calgary
because you have Calgary Yeah, he said I'll respin
Do you want to make it to where if you spin your
team you get stuck with that player? Do we just
want to keep going where we just? Absolutely
I don't want to fucking keep him if I don't want
anything about him. Whereas, you know, I don't
want to fuck you guys over, you know? No, you're
good. It ain't Declare. You're gonna take Declare?
Yeah, I'm gonna take Declare. All right, Cal.
All right, so I get Matt Zuccarello. If I get
Dallas again, I'm gonna shit myself. Or the LA
Kings. So I get Matt Zuccarello or Adrian Kempe.
Oh, oh my God. Okay. Adrian Kempe is really good
right now. He's really good right now. Zuccarello's
got that veteran experience. Oh man. What's funny
though, didn't Zuccarello just play for Dallas
too? So my first one could be all the Dallas
or former Dallas stars if I keep Zuc. Oh, do
I really want to swap my first three? Yeah, I'm
doing it. I'm gonna take a drink at the end.
Alright, then we're gonna shuffle. One, two,
three times. All right. The line's two. We want
to shuffle every line? Yeah, that's what it's
going to do. Colorado. So Colorado. So you either
keep Carl's area or, where's Colorado, there
it is, Jonathan Druin. I'm going to go with Johnny
Druin. Same situation to me, I think. That first
that is Connor's area is pretty good right now
But again drew and you might kind of almost want
to go for that an adventure and experience. I
guess the opposite of what? Yeah, Jeffy your
first line left winger is curtain James Van Rins
like JBR That's right now. Yep. Really? Oh Tampa
Bay second -line center All right, we're left
winger. Oh, no, sorry Brandon Hale another current
four nations. Oh player Oh, that's tough. Four
of the lightning top six are playing tonight.
I gotta do Brandon Hagel. Hagel? I like JVR.
Alright, Kyle. So I have Marcus Johansson or
Seattle Kraken. Marcus Johansson or Eli Tolbenen.
Hmm. Honestly, I don't know a whole lot about
either player, to be completely honest with you.
Marcus Johansson is a little bit older, and I
know Tovenin is quite younger. I want to say
he's like 26. I'm going to take Tovenin. I'm
going to swap again. I'm going to take Tovenin.
All right for my second line center looks like
it's either gonna be Michael Backlund or This
from Nashville. Is that gonna be O 'Reilly? No,
always first one. Who? Yeah, I'm gonna keep Michael
Backlund. Fedor Sechkov, I don't know who that
is. Bless you. All right, Jeffy, who's your current
second line center? Mokotel Belvaluz. Bless you.
R from Washington. The capitals. P .L .D. I think
I'm going to keep Lucenthal by the balloons.
Really? A little bit of a hot take. A little
hot take, but I'll... I got Frederick Goudreau
or... Buffalo. Is this like a Gigi Paterca or
something? Ryan McLeod. Not horrible. Um, I think
I'm gonna do my first keep. I think I'm gonna
keep Fredrick Goudreau. Oh, okay. So for my second
line right wing, I'm gonna go... Chicago. Shit.
It's gonna be like a Ryan Donato or something.
That's not Chicago. Oh, that's Calgary. It's
just like... He's the first line right winger.
I keep getting his one line off. Oh my gosh.
They call me a core. What do you looks everyone
keep play Coleman? My right hander for Cobb's
is Cole singular cylinder. Yep No, I get to go
Florida Florida Matthew come freakin good shot.
That's a good job. Oh Jeff you just got to steal
the night there right there Right, and my second
line right winger, I got Vinny Henestrosa or...
Buffalo again. Right, right, wait a minute. I
don't even want to fucking show you. Alex Tuck.
Alex Tuck, I'm taking Alex Tuck. You son of a
gun. Hey Colin, your third line left winger is
currently... Sorry, I gotta re -pull back up.
Currently is Joel Fairby. I get to pick from
St. Louis. And their third line left winger is
Jake Neighbors. Okay. Kind of tit for tat here.
You know, I'm gonna do Jake from State Farm here.
Jake and Neighbors. Thank you Good Neighbors,
stay over there. Alright, my current left winger
is Zach Gaston -Rees. I keep forgetting he's
on LA. LA. Oh crap, where's LA? It's right there.
And Warren Fogel. I'll have to take full wool.
Yeah, I mean if it's a former honor, you gotta
take him. Former honor, you gotta go after him.
Alright, I have Marcus Foligno or... New Jersey?
Carolina. Carolina. Alright, the Caves. Marcus
Foligno. André Spechtnaut. Yeah, pardon my French.
I mean, is that a question? I'm taking Specht.
Oh, I picked up the wrong thing, okay. Who's
that guy? Alright, for my third line sentiment,
it's either Morgan Frost or somebody from Boston,
which would be... Matthew Poitras, yeah, okay.
Yeah. So far all my sentiment are staying, man.
I'm gonna keep Morgan Frost. Okay. Mine is Justin
Danforth. I get Buffalo. Sorry, obviously triple
tasking here. Yeah. And Dylan Cousins. Actually,
I'm gonna take Dylan Cousins. Alright, my current
is him, Marat Kustnutnikov. And you can do St.
Louis. Right? I'm just going to be sprinting.
I fucked that up. I'm sorry. That's on me. Oh,
thanks. Appreciate it. Chicago. And Nick. Nick
Foligno. Oh. I mean, I swapped out Marcus Foligno.
I'm going to take back Nick Foligno. Alright,
perfect. Con your third line right winger is
currently It is currently Yeah, you're sure novice
or go to Washington and take Ethan Frank I Don't
know much about him. He's young. He's like I
think it might be through here Okay, well, oh
don't keep sir Yeah, his name Honestly, my right
-winger is Matthew Oliver. This is a third -liner?
Yeah. Wow. At least at the moment. Chicago. We've
got Chicago four times. Or Tyler Bertuzzi. Burt.
Burt. I think I'm gonna keep Oliver. You're gonna
keep Matthew Oliver. That's bold. Alright, I
have Liam Ogren or... Taking from your you're
here. Yeah, go bitch. Yeah. Um, I Don't know
much about either one. I think I think I'm just
gonna keep ogre on this one All right ready fresh
and refresh All right, so My fourth line right
with our left winger. Sorry, it's Ryan long bird
and pick them from Colorado Him Joel curving
teeth. Oh, I'll keep over. Okay My left fingers
is Mikel Pete From the Rangers Riley Smith. Oh,
I'll take Riley Smith All right, and my first,
my left winger on my fourth line is currently
Devin Shore, or I can go take... Joel Crematina.
I think I'm going to, again, I'm gonna keep Devin
Shore. All right, cool. All right. My fourth
line, center, is currently... Kevin Rooney. Who?
Yeah. Kevin Rooney. Yeah, no, not Art Rooney.
Kev Hurt. I don't know who that is. And I get
to pick from Caroline Knot. Caroline Knot. So,
the Canes. They're a fourth -line center. Tyson
Jost. So... You know what? Finally, I'm gonna
pick a center -man that's not on my team curve.
You're gonna go to Tyson Neist? Yeah. Alright.
My center -man from Columbus is Sean Curly. Or
Curl - Curly. Wait, do you have Columbus? Oh,
that's right. Yeah. Are you to take Vegas? This
might be a good one. Nick Waugh. Nicholas Waugh.
That's actually not bad. I'll take Nicholas Waugh.
I think it is Roy actually. I think I said that
wrong. I know, it's weird because like obviously
we have - Brandon South plays with the fucking
Golden Knights? Guess so. Alright, I currently
have... Sorry. Yakov Trenin, or I can go take
Winnipeg and steal David Gustafson. Again, I
don't know much about either one. I'm gonna keep
Trenin here. Alright. So, my current fourth line.
Right winger is Martin Popsil. Popsicle. Popsicle.
I'm just going to call him Popsicle. Frickin'
Karamina. Jack Rossovic. Welcome to the team,
Rossovic. Alright. Jeffy. Your last four. It
is Jack Johnson. His name is Jack Johnson? Yeah.
Not the deadbeat, I mean the deadweight Jack
Johnson. But you get to pick Jack Rostovic. It's
legit the guy I got, so Jack Rostovic. It's either
Jack Johnson or Jack Rostovic. Since you took
him, I'll... You can take him as well. There's
no... I don't think there's any... Oh, actually,
we haven't discussed this because we haven't
really... We never have. That actually is the
Jack Johnson. Alright. Because he's cooked on
it. It says position, defenseman. So, I think
we have your answer for who you want to take
instead. Why do they have him listed as a whore?
That's weird. Well, should... Hold on. Should
we... Do we want to re -spin something like this?
Because then we'll have duplicates of the same
player. Because I know, like... Um, on NHL you
can have Dubokets, like... But, I don't know,
I'll give you guys the option. I don't care either
way, but like, do you think we should? I would
just for the sake of this, just for the sake
of this, um, draft. Alright, so, you get to pick.
Anaheim. I would have laughed if we would have
made it out of Carolina for a third time in a
row. I'm not gonna lie to you. Brett Leeson.
Don't. I don't really much know about him, but
I'll take Brett Leeson. Anything to upgrade from
Jack Johnson? Yeah, I'll take more than the dead
weight. I have John Merrill. Alright, the last
four on the draft, Kyle. Go to Tampa Bay. And
take Michael Chaffee. Mitchell. Mitchell. Chaffee.
Chaffee. I don't know. I don't worry about him.
I'm gonna keep my fourth, my Minnesota fourth
line together and keep John Merrill as well.
Alright, now. Defenseman. Alright, this is where
I hope to fucking strive, man. Do we start with
the left? Yeah, go on the left, right. Alright,
I shuffle it three times yet again. Oh, sorry.
Kevin Ball. Okay, we're gonna take L. Oh, it's
gonna be 5 -2 down there. Is he right? Is he
right or left? Oh, I don't know. He's a right.
Fuck! It's the same game! So Vagabra probably
wouldn't be a bad choice either. Alright, I'm
gonna keep him up here, just because there's
no way I'm gonna... ...spell his name right.
Watch, like, me or Jeffy get down now. Alright,
Jeffy. Alright, I have Zach Korinsky as my first
left hand defenseman. Oh, that's gonna be tough.
Oh, and it's gonna be like Morgan Reilly. I think
it's... Why does it have Reilly as right side?
Zach Korinsky or Morgan Reilly, that's tough.
That might be the toughest one we've had today
so far. I think I have to keep Wronski. Keep
Wronski? Alright. I currently have Jacob Middleton.
Or do I take somebody from the Wr -r -r -rangers.
I did that because I thought it was going to
change. Ryan Lindgren. Ryan Lindgren. Um. The
man who looks like a thug. I will take Ryan Lindgren.
Alright, for my right side defenseman, I currently
have Rasmus Anderson, which, you know, isn't
a bad choice. Don't get me wrong. Just, let's
see if I can one -up with Winnipeg. Who's Winnipeg?
Dylan DeMillo. Okay. Okay. Do you mean, if I
want to go... Josh Moore. Yeah, Josh Moore is
here. You know, I'm gonna keep Rasmus Anderson.
So I currently have Ivan Prohorov, which is actually
pretty solid. Not bad. Not worse either. I thought
it was going to be Billy. Oh, Philly. Oh, Philly.
Philadelphia. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Sandheim.
Sandheim. Again, another current four nations
play song. I think that's another one I have
to keep is Prohorov. Actually, no. I'll take
Travis. You're going to take Sandheim? Sandheim.
I currently have Mr. Brock Faber. There's only
maybe one or two guys in my head that I can think
I might take over him. And this might be one
of them. You're gonna go Tampa Bay. I was heading
in the left. I think Hedman's a lefty, isn't
he? Darren Radish though. I'm keeping Brock Faber.
As much as I want to take the former outter,
I gotta keep Brock Faber. He's probably debatably
one of the best defensemen in the league right
now. Recall your second pairing left defenseman.
Currently is Joel Hanley and I get to pick from
the Rangers So Hanley or Kalandre Miller, you
know, I'm I I'm going with Kalandre. Kalandre
Miller is a good choice. Yeah So you missed out
on Doughty you missed out on Riley Morgan Riley
here. No, who did you just like? Santa You know,
you had a decent guy for your first line left
winger, didn't you? No, it was either Warrenski
or Riley. And he was stuck with Warrenski, which
I get. All right. The second pair is left side
defense. I had Deaton, Metonchuk. I don't know.
Washington. Gotta deal with the crapples. It's
not too Carlson, is it? No. Rasmus Sanderson.
I gotta take Rasmus Sanderson. Sandeen You both
fucked that up I don't know what the fuck this
is I saw it and I was just like I currently have
Jonas Brodeen for my first line or first pairing
left defenseman And once Jeff gets his spelling
down I got it You get to pick Oh, Anaheim. This
is going to be like a Jacob Truba. Oh, he's right.
I missed on Truba, and I missed on fucking...
Who did I miss on the last round? Edmund. I'm
going to keep Rodin. I've only skipped one of
my last six picks. I've only swapped out one
of my last six. Alright, for my second pair on
the right side, I got... Mackenzie Weger. That's
pretty solid. Edmonton. John Klingberg. That's
another tough one. I'm gonna keep Weger. Not
a bad choice. Jeff? My second pair. Bring it
in. Back is Jake Chris Murray No, that's my I'm
sorry. That's my left. Oh my right is on Damien
Samford Samford says he works on Damien Severson
or from the islanders Scott Scott parent parent
avalach I'll take. Turn down an edge. Over Damon
Severson, really? Actually, no. I'll keep. I'll
keep. Alright, I have Jared Spurgeon. Again,
I can't think of many that I would take over
this spot for Jared Spurgeon. Fucking Rangers,
man. Or Will Borgren. I'm gonna keep Jared Spurgeon.
All right. I've literally swapped out one of
my last nine picks. Your third pairing left defenseman
is currently... Fuckin' New York Rangers! Oh.
I should probably read it out. Jake Bean, or...
I'm gonna keep Jake Bean. Jero Vakkanen? or Vakka...
Vakka 9 in them is my guess. Sure, let's go with
it. Alright, Jeffy, your... Jeffy, your third
pairing left defenseman. My third... Now, it's
Jeacombe Christensen as my third defenseman.
San Jose, yikes. Yikes. Oof. I don't even know
who the third... I don't know. Things things
dipshits I get it Alright, looks like you're
going to keep. I forgot to keep. Alright, alright
Kyle. I have jazz, not jazz, chisel. Baseball.
Declan Chisel, or... Seattle. Josh Mahora. I'm
going to do Josh Mahora because I don't know
who Chisel is. All right, for the last of the
skaters, our third pairing, right defenseman.
My guy is Braden Packel. Packel, whatever. I'm
afraid I'm trying to pronounce his name some
more. Go to Utah, oof. Utah. Utah. Only one.
Oh, okay. There we go. Hey, what's what's the
matter? What's the matter with you? Jeffy, what
do you got? Hey for Columbus, I currently Jordan
Harris We have the option to take from Edmonton
Ty Emerson Don't know much I will slightly know
a little bit more about Ty Emerson, so I'll take
Ty Emerson. I have Zach Bogosian with a choice
to swap him out for Toronto Lipquiz And Felipe
Meyers. I am gonna take Felipe Meyers. Hey go

Jordan Bennington. No pressure, Jeff. I think
I have to keep... I think I have to keep Merz
-Lincoln. I have Philip Gustafson. Chase to swap
it out for... Is that Uka? Uka -Pekka -Lukunen?
Have you heard the way he pronounces his name?
It's awesome. Uka -Pekka -Lukunen. I'm gonna
take Luke. I'm sorry. I have to admit, I love
how every time he makes a big save, how the Buffalo
crowd goes... And for my last player... My backup
goaltender. Oh, I'm going to spin again because
I got Calgary. Well, Calgary's current backup
is Dan Lather. We go to Washington. Washington.
Who's their backup? Is Vanichick their backup?
Or is he their starter? Charlie Vinger. No, neither.
Okay. That's a tough one. You know... I'm gonna,
I'm gonna take the grin. Okay. Jiffy, who's your
current backup? That is... Daniel Tarasov. Daniel
Tarasov, okay. Sounds very good. Or you can take...
San Jose. The shards. I hate how far down it's
going down. Oh, it's VanaTek. I'll take VanaTek.
Alright, and I have an F. I have the flower.
Or, just for gigs and shigs, let's see what I
would get. No, you bet a lot. Who even is that?
I'm keeping flower. Who would I have gotten?
Oh, Freddie Anderson. It's tough to say no to
people who went up against MAF. I mean, like,
I'm taking Flaher. I will hop over this motherfucking
table and I will beat your ass down. It's tough
to say no to Freddie Anderson, but yeah, I'm
taking Flaher. I was about to say, like, I would...
I'm surprised that it's Freddie the number two
and Chekhov the number one. Chekhov's been fucking
amazing. I know, but I'm just... And Freddie
can't stay healthy. That's why they're worried
to keep him as their starter. Yeah, that's fair.
Alright, so what do we got for our... Complete
teams boys. Let's go across the way. All right,
actually just go backwards Kyle since you were
the number three All right forwards I got Jason
Robertson, Rupay Hintz, and Adrian Kempe, Eli
Tolvinen, Frederick Goudreau, and Alex Tuck,
Andrei Svechnikov, Nick Foligno, Liam O 'Gren,
Devin Shore, I forget what his first name is,
but Traynin, and Meryl, the whole fourth line
I kept the same, and then Ryan Lindgren, and
Brock Faber on defense, followed by Jonas Brodin
and Jared Spurgeon and Josh Muraha from Seattle
and Felipe Myers from Toronto and then goaltenders
are Ukebeke Lukinen and Marc -Andre Flurry. Again,
I would have came over that at this fucking table.
It's tough to say no. If it wasn't against Flurry,
I probably would have taken Fred Anderson, but
because it's Flurry, I'm keeping Flurry. Jeff?
Alright, I'll go then. I have Phil Forsberg,
Adam Fantelli, Anthony DeClaire, Brandon Havel,
Luca Del Pobeluz, Matthew Kachuk, Warren Fogel,
Dylan Cousins, and Matthew Oliver. And then Riley
Smith, Nicholas Roy Orwa, how do you say it.
And then Brett Lelt -Leason from Anaheim. And
then my defensemen are Zach Worinski and Travis
Sandham. Reps of Sadeen, Damien Suresen, Jay
Christensen, and Ty Emerson. And my goaltenders
are Merzlinken and Vianachak. All right. Up front,
Matt Boldy, Kadria Alskalorn, Druid Backfender.
Coleman. Then I got Jake Neighbors, Morgan Frost,
and Yegor Sharikovich. To finish it off, I got
Ryan Lomburg, Tyson Jost, and Jack Rostovic.
On the back end, I got Gabakov Anderson, Keandre
Miller, Weger, Jake Beed and then Bacall. Oh
no, sorry, Olymona, my bad. And then Annette,
Dustin Wolfe, and Charlie Lindgren. Neither one
of us have a bad team here, man. This could be
interesting. But yeah, tune in next week to see
the results of an NHL 25 simulation where we
put these teams into like a franchise mode. on
NHL and simulating through the season and see
who's team finishes with the best record. If
any one of us three can win the Stanley Cup,
yeah, finish, come back next week to see that.
But before we end it, let's address the elephant
in the room. Team Canada is the champion of the
Four Nations tournament. Winning three to two
in the overtime. I mean, that's one over Jordan
Bennington, dude. Unbelievable. as he's skating
up to get his medal right now. Two of the great
some of the best saves I've seen this at least
this season by far. After that first one my jaw
was dropped. He did it once like my god nearly
like five seconds later the next shot he does
it again unbelievable game I mean that was an
unbelievable tournament unbelievable way to end
the tournament. I mean I literally turned to
these guys and I said it I said this is a storybook
way to end with Mcdavid getting the winner you
know it's kind of like a torch passing from Crosby
to Mcdavid when he did it in 2010 yeah I mean
Crosby did it in 2010 now Mcdavid does it now
I said it's literally like a passing of the torch
for Captain Canada from from Crosby to Mcdavid
and that's and that's literally what I said to
these guys ask them if you don't believe me I
mean that's I said that before he even scored
the goal I mean that's Unbelievable that I'll
just say this like what and now that this is
officially over What an incredible fun? Tournament
this was way better than any all -star game.
They could have came up with like this as former
honor Anthony's really just got his medal Stand
with your daddy skating up to get his now Yeah,
this was a lot of fun this tournament They do
like an MVP but they can do like an MVP? I'm
gonna assume they would. I'm assuming once...
I wonder who it's gonna be. I think once... I
wonder who it's gonna be! When they give the
trophy hour or whatever, they'll maybe... Yeah.
But, I mean, unbelievable, man. That's... Oh,
Sid's parents right there. I believe that was
Sid's parents. That was Sid's parents. And there
he is, Sid. Captain Sid. Sid the old -ass kid.
Sid the middle -aged man. Old -er, as he would
say. Every time somebody calls him old he goes
err. Old err. Old err. Wow, I mean, unbelievable
man. I mean, that's... I mean, you can't write
a better script than that. Like, I live when
you said that, and it's gonna happen. Wow. Damn
prank, it was tall. I was like, holy moly. I
will give the props to the angel for actually
managing the... thing. pull this off and then
yeah as much shit as we give Jordan Bennington
dude hats off to him for that performance man
I think Kyle said it earlier is Jordan Bennington
a problem or is it the St. Louis problem I said
that's what I said I'm starting to wonder is
he the problem or is I'm starting to think St.
Louis might be the problem there I said if it
is St. Louis then he has the right to right to
bitch and to pay then we can actually finally
say we can actually understand why he's bitching
it all the time. He's pissed at, you know, the
poor team in front of him. But again, this was
a fun, fun... Such a fun tournament to watch,
man. Such a great idea. I think with this tournament
alone, I'm already looking forward to next year's
Olympics in 2026. I'm sure these teams are gonna
look pretty similar. Some of these older guys
may not you know, we might see some older guys
that we didn't see in this tournament You know
in the next year or so And you know, even if
some of these older guys aren't, you know, aren't
gonna be around, you know Obviously looking at
people like Brad Marshawn, Cindy Crosby, Mark
Stone, you know Maybe if they don't get an opportunity
to play to see some of these younger guys like
a Connor McDard Eventually step into the line
of light and play for Team Canada. Yeah Maybe
not next year at the Olympics, but if they revisit
this, or if they revisit the World Cup of Hockey,
I can definitely see what Darb's stepping in
for that. Maybe not the next year's Olympics,
but definitely the next major tournament after
that. Down the road. That's a way to end the
tournament for sure, man. Definitely not the
ending we were hoping for. Obviously, we want
USA to win it. What a game. What a tourney. I
can't say it enough. There goes Gary Bittman.
about to hand off the trophy to Sid the middle
-aged man. Yeah, not Sid the Kid anymore, Sid
the middle -aged man. Wow. I think that's where
we are going to end it here, guys. On a sad note.
Good for Sid, bud. Bad for USA. Good for Sid,
McKinnon, McCarr, and David. I mean, well -deserved.
Well, well -deserved, man. Unbelievable. Oh,
the rat gets next. Are she yeah Yep, I'm surprised
you good. I'm surprised. I got up and around
his nose there So he didn't snack himself in
the nose on the way up yet You guys anything
else to add? I'm good. No I Was hope you guys

next week's episode or the next episode Which
will probably go live and be a go live on the
third or the fourth one of the two But yeah,

teams winning the simulation and see who wins
