All I could say was that game was absolutely
fucking insane, man! Like, the amount, just all
the bullshit that went down was awesome, man!
You should've been there! You should've been
there! Honestly, you guys should've been there!
I really also wanted to see a goalie fight. It
looked like Charly wanted to fight the... Bowen?
Bowen? How do you say it? Bowen. Bowen. Bowen.
Bowen. Bowen. Bowen. Bowen. Bowen. Bowen. Bowen.
Bowen. Bowen. Bowen. Bowen. Bowen More specifically,
at an honors camp. And I cannot be more amped
about that. And all the years of being a season
ticket holder, I cannot be more fucking amped.
Than I am in this moment, right now. Just watching
it on board was... Dude, TV does not do any justice.
Radio does not do any justice. I went out to
go grab some food, I come back, and as I'm opening
the door... to my apartment. I can hear Trevor
and Sean like going ballistic and going nuts.
I turned around the corner looking at my TV and
I had to see Messier just fucking throwing haymakers,
beating the shit out of this dude. scrub the
base of their necks like back and forth like
I'm gonna beat the breaks off the both of you
I wanna know what was said by the way welcome
back to the this week's episode of the bookbuster
podcast by the way dude like I am like I said
I cannot be more ex I wanna know what the hell
was said in that moment like I know Charlie Burns
was tripped yeah during a TV timeout which is
why I didn't see it I don't think I would have
seen it because I just walked back in the door
to see Messier beat the shit out of somebody
to be honest I I looked down on the phone for
a second and the Charter got trapped. And somebody
said it wasn't dirty, but it was sure as hell
intentional. Like what he did, because they were
getting peed on Charter. They didn't even let
the puck drop. I don't know if maybe Messy was
just too boiled over and didn't even care if
something was said on top of that. But Puck hadn't
even dropped it before Messy dropped the glove.
As soon as the puck hit the ice, the gloves hit
at the same exact time. And Messier just went.
He was seeing red. You can tell he was seeing
red. His face was red. I don't blame him. I don't
blame him. When you touch your goal, like somebody
touched your goaltender. I feel like it might
have, I think something would have happened right
then and there. I think something additional
had to have been said. Whether they said something
to Bernsey, whether they said something to Messier,
to... Spend so whoever might have been on the
ice at the time something I had to have been
said it was the five on the ice was and Alfie
mess and then you had Frazier and He looked over
at Chris and he was like I want on I want to
beat the fuck out of this guy and Chris is like
go ahead. Oh, no, okay Malcolm was off Smith
messes on and it was I I think it was Frazier
and McCall on the ice at the same time. But,
my God, that was, it brought so much energy to
that. You can hear it all on the broadcast. I
can guarantee the broadcast doesn't do justice,
but when the audience broadcasts, the sound,
especially the crowd sound is not very good on
during broadcast. It's 95 % of what we can hear
is just Trevor and Sean talking. It's very difficult
to hear the arena audio. Even that was fucking
loud in that moment, so I can't imagine what
it was like in that building. Like the roof of
the EIA, I swear, could have blown off at any
moment. It definitely came off for a second.
The building was shaking. Shaking with all the
noises coming from it. I can imagine, man. I
just want to know, like, what did you see from
your angle? You know, because we kind of sit
up a little bit higher behind the benches. We
sit way to the left of the visitor bench. How
so what did you were you won't even see like
what's happening down by the tunnel down by the
benches with the coaches? Yeah, yeah You know
at first is nothing both both doors to the same
like obviously both benches leads in the same
tunnel down the middle where the otters do come
out of for almost everything except for initial
introductions and Both doors go kind of went
open and like I didn't know like I didn't notice
Chris or die Peterborough head coach You know,
talking at first. I only noticed once Chris got
to Ken's left. Because Ken was sitting on the
left -hand side of the bench at the time. Once
he got past Ken, I was like, oh boy, they're
gonna go at it. And Messi was already in the
tunnel at the time. But, you know, once Chris
got gone, I'm like, the coaches are fighting!
The coaches are actually fucking fighting! You
see Dirk grabbing all the messes in the middle
of it, and he's still trying to get over it.
This is still leaning over, over, like he's still
trying to scream some not -so -nice words, I
can imagine. Some hockey words, but that doesn't
mean they're nice words. Those are two different
things there, pal. I'm so upset that I didn't
end up going to this game this afternoon, man.
Yeah, I got stuck at work a little bit longer.
And Jeffy offered me, he said, hey, you want
my ticket for tomorrow? I'm like, nah, I'm good.
Fucking dumb. So dumb. I just want to be craziest
afternoons, nights of hockey. You missed a game.
You missed a game. 7 -2 final? 7 -3? 7 -3. 7
-3. 7 -2. Final seven two short -handed goal
a power play goal. We have two shorties Power
play goal a short -handed goal. That was right
while serving that five -minute from that that
scrum in that problem with Messier I'm gonna
say about those Chris Mallette. This is the coach
that Erie has needed for Probably since Chris
Novak. Yes, this is the coach we have needed
since Novak left You know, we got I think Hartford
came in right after no park Hartford Hartford
and then Adams and then Butler Four coaches and
you know, seven years eight years eight years
But did this is what maybe this is like three
in the past four So when did we fire heart? was
fired and BJ came in during the 21 -22 season?
21 -22. Right before Christmas break. Right before
Christmas break. Okay, COVID. Ever since COVID
hit. Because, you know, you had the canceled
season, the canceled 21 -22 season. Hartford
started, BJ finished, and then BJ started, then
Stan finished. that last year we missed the playoffs
and then last year when we actually we actually
had finally a full year with a head coach now
this should be exciting to see Chris Mulutt's
first full season next year like we were excited
to go in last year to see Stan's first full year
now it's something to look forward to to see
Chris's first full year next year let's get through
this year first that's number one it's clinch
that's fucking clinch this weekend The news is
as of if we get a win on Friday against own sound
regulation, right? It just said a win. It just
said a win So when I went in in we clinch a playoff
spot I don't know why I still notice I still
know a lot of shit needs to happen for us to
get the fourth seed but to clinch a playoff spot
winning more in practice practically we have
to win out to in order to get a good chance because
after tonight's It's way back here We we are
Seven points back a Saginaw who is the fourth
seed with one game ahead. We have to win out
We have to win out and Saginaw needs to lose.
Oh, it needs to be just under 500 at the very
very best We have what nine games left six of
them at home. So that's gonna be Huge if we can
keep the barn rocking as well as it was this
afternoon Yeah, it's gonna be pretty pretty good
pretty exciting for this this team man. I mean
Last night's game saturday night's game march
1st. That is it'd be saturday about some of you
guys will listen to this Not a good game overall
The beginning game started out like they was
gonna be pretty good I think we jumped out to
an early one nothing lead And then they tied
it almost immediately after then we got and then
wesley had that fight which got the crowd fucking
amped up Which was honestly was stupid of west
for actually very stupid timing to do that yeah
like we like it was clear did he beat the everletting
piss out of him yeah but was it very poor not
a poor decision yeah because we it was clear
we were going up they were going on the power
play and then of course west had to drop the
gloves and yeah that's this team man this team's
not afraid to fight man i mean we saw that and
you saw the other night or like last week He's
not afraid to fight the smallest guy in the team
who's not afraid to you know No taller than me
or Jeff like probably the same size as myself
And yeah, you and your short 110 pounds later,
but that's beside the point No, no what what
you get like what you lose vertically you came
for is awfully right exactly. Yeah You know,
yeah, don't ever sit five foot seven pie 130
pounds soaking wet being the shit I'm trying
to beat this I don't think I think he definitely
lost the fight, but he fucking held his ground
for how big the other guy was. He initially didn't
want to fight in that. He held his ground, man.
He was challenging. He didn't say no. He held
his ground for himself. So obviously, we know
Wesley likes to fight. Frazier likes to fight.
We've seen McCall likes to fight. We have these
guys that aren't afraid to put themselves in
harm's way in terms of a fight to get the crowd
pumped up, to get the team pumped up. And sometimes
it works sometimes it doesn't I'll accept the
past two times. It didn't really work You know
last week of Eddie and then just last evening
with uh with Royston But obviously this afternoon
it worked But you are we already riding the high
above what I think we're already at five nothing
at the time But still before nothing the fact
is you have these guys who are willing to do
anything sacrifice themselves For the greater
good of the team for the greater good of the
franchise, you know make I think they're finally
starting to realize like how important Those
otters are to the city how much the city is behind
them They need they love to see the otters win
and you know this one I know the rest of this
season entirely obviously is still being played
for obviously the late Jim waters And I guess
it's me playing like that for from now until
eternity but especially the rest of this season
is is playing in his honor and Trying to make
him as proud as they possibly can we all know
that for it is a fact It just makes me look forward
to next weekend's games. I'll be involved for
sure. in one advanced chirp and be like, oh,
we suck, we're frauds, this team's a joke. Like,
bro, you have lost eight fucking - No, no, no,
no, shut up. Let them suck. Let them suck? I
love, I loathe seeing them sad, depressed, whatever
you want to say. I loathe, I live to see those
fans depressed. Let them suffer. Let those bastards
suffer. No, I mean, I'd like to see them suffer,
but like, what are they fucking suffering and
bitching for? Like, they've lost 10 games all
fucking year. Now they're 11 now. They're pissed
off about it. Like, there's a good fucking chance
they're gonna end up repeating, like, with how
good this fucking team is. Much as we hate them,
they're a good fucking team. You can't say anything
against them. They're a really good fucking team.
They're probably gonna go very far. I may not
repeat, but they're gonna go pretty far again.
And here they are, they're still bitching out
when they lost one game to a team that's, you
know, suffering and had a fourth string goalie
in it. More than likely, they will be making
it to the conference championships. I mean, the
first seed is pretty much theirs, if not second.
Division is theirs. Well, I was gonna say, I
know Kitchener's on their trails, which they're
number two. They're number two in both division
and conference. Which, depending on what happens,
obviously I don't think Erie can, it's very,
very unlikely we drop anything below fifth for
the seeding. Okay, well I could be wrong because
it looks like Kitchener has four, I'm sorry,
London has four games in hand over Kitchener
and London leads Kitchener by four points. Oh,
it's only four points, okay. Yeah, four points.
I thought they were ahead by a lot more than
that. I thought they only guaranteed the first
seed already. But like I said, London has four
games in hand over Kitchener. I can only imagine
London is gonna get that first seed. I can only
imagine, I don't think Erie drops anything worse
than fifth. We'd have a pretty horrendous losing
streak to drop this thing the sixth seat here
But that case also we probably end up playing
Saginaw regardless if we host Four games or we
play on the road for four games if we manage
To win a round this year win that first round
against Saginaw. We're probably going to London
Yeah, well regardless done. It's gonna be going
to you at the third conference finals because
as right now I don't think you're gonna drop
the third I mean if the playoffs started today,
obviously they'd be playing Sioux. Actually no,
own sound. So the CHL app is very funky, technically
own sound has that tiebreaker because they also
have 51 points and that's regulation wins. But...
I was going to say regulation overtime wins.
I think if it's a tie for points it goes to regulation
wins. Well, Sarnia has 19, Owen Sound has 16.
So then, yeah. Or Sue, sorry. Sue's at 8th spot.
Yeah. So then, yeah, then first round will be
London and Sue. And we all know Sue ain't gonna
do shit against London. Yeah. And regardless
of the outcome of the Erie Sackenau series, 19
teams really gonna have much of a competition
against London. So really what it comes down
to is hopefully whoever comes out of the Windsor
Kitchener series, you know, hopefully they can
beat the fuck out of London before they go all
the way. Because nobody in the East is gonna
freaking touch them. They may get a game or two
out of them, but they're not gonna touch them.
I'm sorry, but that's true. As much as that pains
me to say it. They're they're a good team and
like we touch it we can do our sweet Caroline
London sucks chant all we fucking want They're
the best team to leak for a reason They're gonna
go they're gonna go far in the playoffs. They
give a chance. They might even end up doing the
thing and repeating But um, you know, this will
be what the third straight visit I believe cuz
they they lost to Peterborough in 23, right?
Yeah. Yeah, they were the one they beat They're
the ones that Peterborough beat in the final.
I'll say them last year. They beat uh, was it
Oshawa? They swapped them Was it a sweep? Yeah,
they swept three of the four series after. The
only one they didn't sweep is Saginaw. Oh, wow.
So... Yeah. Lost this time, got the... Got the
last time. That sucks. You guys lost. You lost!
This is so stupid. The host team shouldn't get
to play. How do you think we felt when fucking
we lost to Windsor? You guys said the same thing
to us. Oh, how the turntables have. Like... Suck
it up. Can you say, hypocrite? Anyways, now we
can finally move on from this excitement that
we saw this afternoon and turn over to Jeffy
with some milestones around the league. Cause
we didn't do milestones in our last recording
I have from a few weeks. From our now we went
back to our last recording. Yeah, I have quite
a bit since we did them. But I would just go
through them real quick since there's... In that
time, Chris Millett was named the 11th head coach
of the Erie Otters. And then Edmonton Oilers
prospect Nathan Gay set a franchise record for
most wins in franchise history with 63 wins,
first Peterborough. That was back on February
6th. New Jersey Devils prospect Cole Brant, if
I didn't catch that one, but... Pierre Mabou
gets his second career OHL hat -trick vs. Kitchener,
Seattle crack prospect Carson Reckhoff gets his
10th career OHL hat -trick. Colin McKenzie gets
his third career OHL shot vs. Peter O 'Pete.
Ethan Armstrong III Colts gets his first career
OHL bull vs. the London Nights. Kingston front
and I set a new home record on the 14th for 10
consecutive wins in a 4 -2 victory vs. Kitchener
Rangers. I was back on the 14th. Garrett Fraser
gets his first career at OHL Point off of a Wesley
Royce single vs. Owenson attack and then Pierce
Malgo gets his third career of OHL hat -trick
in that exact game. On the 15th, Michael Misa
sets the Saginaw Spirit single record with 48
goals, passing Josh Schala vs. Sudbury Wolves.
Back at Seneca, the Anaheim Ducks prospect for
the Austin Generals gets his 200 for Kurt Ojo
Point vs. Brampton Steelheads. Chris Millett
got his As head coach got his first career win
as head coach was almost an attack. That was
on the 15th. Will Gere of the Ottawa 67 played
in his 250th OHL game versus the North Bay Battalion.
On the 18th lane and right at the keys frack
gets his first first career OHL goal was to Barry
Colts. On the 19th, Porter Martone of the Brampton
Steelheads sets two franchise records with most
points at 83 and the most assists in a single
season with 56 vs. Oshawa Generals. And now on
the 25th of February, Brody McConnell and Brady
Martin of the Sioux Great House played in their
100th career OHL game vs. the North Bay Battalion.
Marshall McCharles of the Sudbury Wolves gets
his first career OHL Gold vs. Sue Greyhounds
Elliot Arnett of the Owen Center Tech gets his
first career OHL Gold vs. Niagara Ice Dogs James
Paul of the Fun Firebirds gets his first career
OHL Gold vs. Sarnia Sting February 27th, Liam
Greenstein and Ilya Protus of the Windsor Spitfire
are the first Spitfire teammates since Bill Bauer
and Dave Roach of the 1994 -95 season to hit
100 points versus Peter Rowe Peets. And that
was actually the game that Peter Rowe Peets only
had like six guys on their on their bench because
they I don't know if because of suspensions or
injuries or whatever it was. I was just thought
that was kind of funny having only not not many
guys on their bench that night. It's crazy. On
the 27th, the Berry Colts retire Kyle Clifford's
number 13 and is the third number in the franchise
to be retired by the Berry Colts. It joins Dale
Howarchuck's number 10 and Brian Little's number
18. So that's two Jersey Retirements of Spirit
have been to this season. Obviously McDavid Knight
and then the Berry Colts. And then on the 28th,
Edmonton Lowers prospect Sam O 'Reilly of the
London Knights gets his first career OHL hat
-trick versus Owen Stone attack Jimmy Labardi
of the Flint Firebirds gets his first career
OHL hat -trick versus the Guelph Storm Michael
Misa of the Saginaw Spirit passes Ryan McDonnell
for the all -time leader in points with 248 points
He's insane Honestly, it's gonna really really
see it's gonna become down it more. It'll probably
be second overall more than Michael and chief.
It's gonna come down him and Schaefer. Yeah him
and chief It's gonna be at least probably five
of the top ten picks are all gonna be from the
OHL because Maratone is either between four or
five because Haglund Haggins is like still projected.
I think they're the top three top three in that
in the top five are all like more tone Schaefer
Mesa Mesa Haggins and um There's one more that's
going to go top five but um, I forget the other
one I can see even Malcolm Spence keeps pulling
up the way he's been playing the last few weeks.
I can see him jumping up and getting top ten,
even top five. Right now he's been projected
with reach of the top ten. He's just been on
the outside looking in for... Me and my one manager
were talking today. I know when we get in the
NHL with the Penguins, we're kind of talking.
It'd be kind of nice if... Penguins should draft
Malcolm Spence. Yeah, Penguins should draft Malcolm
Spence. There's so much of these, they're incredible.
But, um... Speaking of young guys, you know,
upcoming guys. A couple more. Oh, you got a few
more? Yeah, I have two more. And as we were talking
a little bit ago, Hayden Jeffery of the Niagara
Ice Dogs in 40 saves gets his first career OHL
win versus the London Knights. Junior B Goaltender
came out to play for the Niagara Ice Dogs. Junior
B, their backup goaltender, the fourth string,
beat the best team in the O, and probably the
entire CHL. Honestly. I mean, come on, let's
be honest. Then as of today, March 2nd, Calgary
Flames prospect Zane Perrec, record his 30th
goal of the season and joins Bobby Orr as the
only... as the only two defensemen in the OHL
slash OHA with multiple 30 goal seasons. Crazy.
Now that's all of the OHL. That's insane. This
draft is going to be, top 10 is going to be OHL
heavy. Like it's, there's a lot of guys from
our league that's going to go. That's why Ru.
Ivan Kovic is the other one that might go. I
think he's going to go. That's why I really like
this year's class of players because there are
so many good ones. Speaking of really, really
good young guys who's probably going to end up
going first overall in next year's draft being
Gavin McKenna. Have you seen his stat line for
this year? 51 games played so far. This is as
of right now for what Elite Prospects is showing
right now. And 51 games played. He has 32 goals.
74 assists for 106 points in 51 games. That's
what? Hold on. That is over 2 points per game.
So you said 106? 106 points in 51 games. So 2
.07 points per game. I'm tough with that, he
has a plus 47. I'm just going to round it up
to a 208, but like, Jesus Christ. And on top
of that, he only has 13 penalty minutes, too.
So I'll fight in three minors. Pretty much, yeah.
Or fight in four minors. Four, yeah. No. Yeah.
15 minors, oh yeah, you're right, four. So. And
then on top of that, plus minus of plus 47 on
top of that. That is ridiculous. That's unbelievable.
See last year in 61 games. He had 34 goals in
63 assists for 97 points So he's already nine
points ahead in ten less games That shit is crazy
and that's blown out of the water of what kind
of a dart did when he was in the W like that's
who who Honestly, unfortunately at this point.
How do you see the screenshot of like? his face
and he's in the penalty box for one game. You
can tell he's just like, he's getting the fuck
out of here. He's broken. Poor kid, man. He's
just such a young kid. He's a good kid, too.
I mean, yeah, he's a little stubborn. He's a
little arrogant and kind of cocky and shit for
his age. He's fucking 19, 20 years old. Like,
what do you expect from a kid that age? And if
you're that good, you can be cocky. We're still
watching kids his age play tonight or play this
afternoon. We saw what happens with them, how
arrogant they can get. He's very fucking mature
for his age, especially being in the NHL listen
He's one of the ones that can walk the walk and
talk the talk. Yeah, so by all means There might
be a lot of players, you know around the OHL
that Very hot -headed very arrogant very cocky
shit that don't can't back up their fucking shit
-talking can't prove it You know prove what they
have kind of a dark can he's right around the
same age as some of these guys that were watching
Yeah, some of them, yeah. Believe it or not.
Is Bedard 20 yet, or is he still 19? He's still
19. He won't be 20 until July. So he will finish
off the season still as a 19 -year -old. And
Carrie is older, because he'll be... Carrie is
even older, because he... Is Carol being away
next year? If he's with us next year? It's us,
independent, and I'm once a month at San Diego,
or... And even if they don't, I would not doubt
if we maybe try to move him to... bringing some
younger talent and playing with some of these
guys that are still kind of young. The two that
I've really been impressed with, especially today,
are Todd or Challenger and Lucas and Brosio.
The two guys I'm really impressed with. Now I
can imagine both those guys all... Maybe not
challenger, but I can imagine assuming or I mean,
I think combined I think both of I think come
between two when they both have a eat not both
but they have a eight penalty minutes today,
but oh, yeah That's besides the one I think challenger
is that that 12th forward that 12th floor because
I think Phil over Phil just the 13th and then
Brosia Assumed, you know Matthew's healthy. He's
gonna be that seventh defenseman so i really
like how oliver phillips has been playing he's
been very yeah pretty good for his age and you
know for being a rookie in his first year yeah
both both on and off the ice you can tell very
mature still needs to grow but like what do you
expect out of a 16 year old kid yeah like i'm
sorry that's what you expect but that's what
that's the beauty of like what's so awesome about
being able to be in a city with a team in this
league you know developmentally you know just
this major junior hockey team you get to see
kids this age you get to see them mature you
know not only as hockey players but as people
as well you know it's that's what that's what
i love about this league man it's you get to
see it on a day -to -day basis like i feel like
with i'm not trying to like shit talk in the
two of you but you you guys obviously haven't
been you know Season ticket holder as long as
I have but seen some some of the other guys,
you know I'm gonna go back to some of the old
guys, you know a Curtis Henry a Chad Yetman a
Kyle Maxovich like seen someone like seen some
of those guys grow and develop both as pro hockey
players, semi -pro hockey players, and as people
of this league, it's kind of awesome to see it,
you know? And you see some of these guys go off
into the big leagues now. J .B. Dreistel being
one of the biggest guys we saw come through here.
You know, now as a top six defenseman in Kranitz,
Philadelphia, but still, he's in the fucking
NHL. You're on a professional hockey team. So
to see some of these guys grow is kind of awesome.
Yeah, with that being said, we will move on to
our NHL milestones and then our typical probably
hurdle, puckdoku, and then we'll give you our
results for our thing we did last week and then
top of our couple minigames, you know, my thing
and then Colin's blind rankings. But yeah, much
to come on this episode. Moving on right now
to NHL milestones. Just something to say here.
Nope. I thought you were trying to get my attention
there. Nope. I said all I had to say. I only
went back to our last recorded date. I didn't
go as far back as Jeffy did. So I went back to
the 22nd of February. Where on that day Alex
Steeves of the Toronto Maple Leaf scored his
first career goal against the Hurricanes. Sean
Couturier scored his 200th career goal. And your
boy Flower, Marc -Andre Fleury takes sole possession
of second place for all time games played by
a goaltender passing Bobby Liu with 1 ,045 games
played. Matt Savoie recorded his first career
point with an assist to a Leon Dry saddle goal
against the Flyers. Troy Terry played in his
400th career game. Robert Thomas scored his 100th
career goal against Winnipeg. And Barrett Hayden
recorded his first career hat trick against the
Kings, that being the first hat trick in Utah
hockey club history. On the 23rd, Alex Ovechkin
recorded his 32nd career hat -trick against the
Edmonton Oilers, which I believe those three
brought him down to 13 away from Wayne Gretzky's
record, which we will get there. Nico Dawes of
the Devils recorded his first career shutout
against the Predators. On the 24th, Mark Scheifele's
329th goal broke the record for most goals scored
by a player in Winnipeg, Atlanta franchise history,
so... Leading scorer in that franchise is now
Mark Shifely. On the 25th, Justin Sardiff of
the Florida Panthers scored his first career
goal against the Predators. And Cole Caulfield
recorded his 200th career point, becoming the
fastest Montreal Canadian in 30 years to reach
that milestone. I wish I had gotten to the last
one to do it was, but I did not. Like a new fist.
Ethan Del Mastro of the Blackhawks scored his
first career goal against the Golden Knights.
Braden Shen played his 1 ,000th career game.
David Pasternak recorded his 800th career point
against the Islanders. Joseph Labate of the Blue
Jackets recorded his first career point against
the Red Wings. Owen Beck of the Montreal Canadiens
recorded his first career point against the Sharks.
So that's a former Pete, isn't it? Or is it?
Both Saginaw. He did play for the Peets, okay.
I thought when I saw the name I was like that
looks familiar. I was like he was traded to the
peach at the deadline. For his like OE year?
Yeah. Okay. I thought that name looked familiar.
I was like where are we? I know him from the
OHL somewhere. I was like he just was there this
past year. I was gonna say it. I knew it was
recent. You're talking about this picture, right?
Yeah, the kind of dark one. Yeah, poor kid. On
March 1st, Mark DelGaizo of the National Predators
scored his first career goal against the Islanders.
and Ilya Sorokin was credited with his first
career goal against the Predators. I say credited
because, if you see it, he didn't really score
it. It literally bounced, took a rebound, a shot
off of his pads, that Stamkos then went to make
a play on, and threw it right into his own head.
So, if that doesn't describe the Nashville Predators
season in a nutshell, I don't know what does!
So, and Connor McDavid recorded his 700th career
assist in just 699 games played so far for him.
Just unbelievable, man. And just earlier this
afternoon, March 2nd, Ricardo Raquel scored his
500th career point against the Maple Leafs. And
Sidney Crosby, with the assist in this game,
is now top ten all -time for assists, with 1
,050 passing the late, great, Lordie Howe. Yeah,
that does it for NHL Milestones. When we jump
into some, uh, fuckducku hurdle, whatever one
would do for us this time. Alright, going on
the top we have Florida, San Jose, and Zio's
games played in the playoffs. On the sides we
have Arizona, Dallas, and Tampa. So click on
the Arizona. You can click on it and it will
tell you. Does it have to be Arizona? Oh, it
can't even be like... It can't even be Utah.
It can't even be Utah. Okay. So who's somebody
that played for Arizona that never made the playoffs?
People like Clayton Keller? Yeah, I don't know
how long has he been I don't know if I know they
made it I think last time they made it was 2016
Was Keller around you then? I know he's young
but would that would have been like maybe his
rookie year or something. I Just want to go somebody
even younger like uh I Mean I think yeah, I think
Keller should be okay there It'll tell us what
year he started playing 2016 yeah shoot So we'll
save it then I don't know if I mean that he might
have been like he's rookie where he played like
two games or something Yeah, good bowl, Iqman
Larson for Arizona, Florida Dallas, Florida Corey
Perry, right? He never played for Florida. Never
played for Florida, no, okay. They'll work for
Dallas and Tampa. Yeah, that's right. Oh, Florida
at Tampa, who's the guy that just won with them
last year that also won with Florida? Or that,
who else won with Tampa Bay? There's somebody
on Florida last year that also won with Tampa
Bay. Oh, fuck. Was it not Brandon Montour? Or
was it Brandon Montour? No, Montour never spent
any time at Tampa. Okay. Who was it on Tampa,
on Florida last year that won with Tampa? God,
I don't know. Kachuck. It's not Barkov, it's
not Reinhardt. Was it Verheggie? Yes, yeah I
believe so. No, where was it? Was it Cardiff
-Verheggie? I think so. Okay, okay. It might
not have been it, but he played for Tampa, so...
This was a tough one for oh, I'm yogurt Dallas,
Florida For both of them for like a year I think
Florida might have been to Dallas and so many
zero games played in their playoff career who's
like a rookie for Dallas this year Not Thomas
Harley. He played last year, I think Oh, do like,
um, for Arizona zero games, do, uh, their goalie,
Karel Vigmelka? K -A -R -E -L and V? There you
go, Vigmelka right there. Yeah, okay. So Dallas
is a zero game. I mean, Dallas has been the plus
every year for the last, like, three years. I'm
trying to think. Um, didn't Ben Bishop ever play
a playoff game for... It's in their career not
just that team. So yeah, he definitely played
a playoff game because he did with Tampa. He
did Worlded like um Auntie Niemie play did he
play for Dallas at one point? Yeah, cuz that's
where we got him from was Dallas. Yeah, he also
played for San Jose, right? I'm pretty sure it
should be Dallas San Jose Auntie Niemie I believe
it's the second one. Yep, okay. 5%. This one's
tough. San Jose, Tampa. San Jose, Arizona. There
we go. This one's difficult, man. This one's
very difficult. Oh, lord. Turning like Damn this
one's difficult. I don't know if like did like
Brian Elliott never played for the Sharks I Don't
think so I thought he's all always an east coast
You know fires Tampa Couple other teams in there
this way. Yeah, this was difficult man. Wow I'm
turning like Backup goaltenders for Tampa that
may have never played in the playoff game because
of Vassi obviously I'm trying to think it was
like y 'all still Hanson was there back up last
year Mark Martin Jones didn't get to San Jose
till the 15 16 season that's He has a big reason
why he made the finals in 16 against Pittsburgh.
I'm trying to remember where he was before he
came over. Don't think it was either one of those
two. I don't think. It can be like the last second.
Oh, last digit up there. I just want to throw
out like, Jonas Johansson for Tampa Bay 0 playoff
games. No Dallas or Tampa Tampa zero playoff
teams Type in your hands in as a whole I don't
even know how to spell that Jonas Johansson.
Jonas Johansson right there. 2019 in prison.
Yes, okay. Doesn't even have a fucking picture
in there, too. Yeah, exactly. Because he doesn't
play. He's fucking nasty. Okay, so I'm trying
to think of who's like a rookie on Dallas this
year. That's what I'm sure of. I probably wouldn't
have played an African if he's a rookie this
year. Because I know why Johnston has played
multiple... Thomas Harley, I don't know was he
full -time last year though? Would he would he've
been full -time to stick around for the playoffs?
Or did Dallas make the playoffs last year? They
did. They made the playoffs last year. They only
made it to the semis, but they made it. Who's
a rookie on that? Did they have like a, who would
be like their backup goal -tender right now?
Behind um... It was um... Scott Wedgwood last
year This year to be okay, but yeah that could
help though has he played in the playoff game
then I Think it only counts if they play like
these on the roster. I think only counts if they've
played We started go. Yeah, we just started a
game must play one regular season Okay Now So
I know he was back up for Dallas. No, that was
not a bad attempt there. I have no clue for the
rest of the day. If you want to throw Martin
Jones on there for that other one, which one
were you thinking? Would you lean more towards?
nothing else man I'm blanking just throw Thomas
Harley on there for Dallas zero playoff games
I don't know I don't think this is his rookie
year oh he's been around for a while yeah okay
now Jeremy Brodick, Timo Salonga I forgot I forgot
Sawani played for the fucking Sharks for like
a half a year or a year Owen Nolan, Ray Whitney,
Claude Lemieux, John Scott, Ryan Dazingo, Thomas
Grice. For the Arizona San Jose, from the Dallas
Zero games. Matt Murray, the goalie. Yeah, that
does sound like a goalie. Patrick Stephon. Patrick
Stephon never played a playoff game? Jimmy Craig.
Wow. Damn Boil. Oh my god. Damn Boil. Barky Goodroll,
Dainty Duterte, The Bokob, Michael Essiemon,
yeah. Dang. Alright, let's try some Hurdle. That's
disappointing, I'm not gonna lie. Yeah. I mean,
last time we had like two 9 out of 9s, so we
can't complain. Right off the rip. Not a bad
guess right off the rip. Oh, okay. All right,
so I guess... So we know it's in the Atlantic
and we know he's a center. He's under the age
of 20... under the age of 28, so he's 27 or younger.
Whereas the number below the number 56, 55, 56
under that. Yeah, he's not American. He's not
American, okay. All right, so Jake... normal
Jake Gantz. Let's go to like Boston and do like
a... Charlie Coyle is the center? Not a... Charlie...
Charlie... yeah, do like a Charlie Coyle. I think
he's Canadian, so... He's also American, okay.
Oh, but he's older. He is older, okay. He's way
older. Okay, so we know the number's not that
low, though, so that'll help us out with the
number. So not Tampa, not Boston. Let's go Nick...
I'm thinking of Nick Suzuki. He's Canadian. He's
Montreal. He's... What's his number? I think
his number's also 13, though. No, cause Caulfield's
13, for Johnny. Yeah, what's Nick Suzuki? 20?
See, that could help. Oh, okay, well. He's 14,
okay. So we got his age. He's 27. 26 and 27.
26 or 27, yeah, okay. He's not Canadian. He's
not Canadian and doesn't pay for the Canadians.
So he's most likely, obviously, European. Excuse
me. Well, let's take Ottawa. Could it be like
a Tim Stutz? I think Tim Stutz was also like
13. He's also, I think he would also still only
be like 24. Yeah, he's still pretty, he would
be younger than Suzuki, so. Could it be like
a Drake Batherson? I think he's also still pretty
young, but that could help with the team and
the jersey number. So is he exactly 26? He is
26, okay. He's 26 years old, his number is...
Somewhere in the 23 to 55 range Let's go or Toronto
if we're gonna stay up in Canada finish off all
three Atlantic Canadian teams It's not Matthew's
they can't be martyr cuz nationality wise it's
not Can't be, obviously can't be Tampa Bay, so
we can't go down to Lykujarov. Not Lillian Carlson,
oh, not Lillian Carlson. Newlander. Newlander,
that's okay, because the hairdresser on it. And
the number too, I think he's 88. Yeah. Yeah.
And it can't be Tavares, because his number's
too high. Too old, too high, and Canadian, so.
Let's think like Florida. Could this be like
a Sam Reinhardt? No, cuz he's like Canadian.
Yeah Reinhardt's Canadian. His jersey's 23. I
wanna say. We could guess like, so let's get
somebody on Toronto just to get the Canadian
teams knocked out of the way. Okay, he's not
on Toronto, okay. Damn. So it's either Florida,
Buffalo, or Detroit. For Buffalo's cousins, I
can't remember, is he a winger or is he a center
man? I think he's a center man, but he's also,
I think he's American. Yeah, he is, nevermind.
He is. So go to, I'm trying to think Buffalo.
That's what I'm trying to think. It won't be
Jake Thomas, it won't be Alex Tuck. Could it
be like a J .J. Paterka? I don't know what his
nationality is. They have to start putting the
numbers for the Elias Pettersons. He's Dutch,
wow. He's still that young too, wow, okay. So
yeah, it's either between Detroit or Florida.
What about like a Lucas Raymond? I don't think
he's 26. His number's 23. Okay. What about, um...
Well, it can't be Mo Cider, because he's a defenseman.
Well, Mo Cider's 23 on Detroit, right? 53. 53.
Yeah. Or he's 26. I'm trying to think of eight.
Hold on. Well, it can't be Mo Cider, because
he's a defenseman. Well, team, if we can narrow
it down to teams. I'm just trying to get at least
a little bit better of a guess. Because we know
it's not a defenseman. What about, like, a...
Because Simon Edvinson or something. Oh Yeah,
where's Ethan? I'll say you guys what Ron is
not there anymore. Can't be Patrick Kane. You're
you can't be ADB You're what number one center
is barking but his numbers too high numbers too
high He's American the whole bullshit thing.
So Best guess would be like a Simon Edvinson.
I don't know if he's even played this year He
might even be like a defenseman, but... His defenseman
down. Okay, so we know it's Florida. We are off
to such a good start. And absolutely jack shit
since. Okay, so he's not Dutch and he's not Swedish.
So he could be Finnish, he could be Russian.
German going down... German I think is pretty
unlikely. There's three German players in the
whole league. No, Sascha Markov's too old. Or
is it yeah, he's yeah, he's Joel and I was just
saying go is to well Tercego's in Detroit remember.
That's right Detroit Somebody in Florida whose
Jersey number is Listen, we said we're talking
about like the 23 to 56 range or something like
that. Yeah, I Have nothing it's not like I said
he can't be a Sam Reinhardt I'm gonna push for
Alexander Barkov. I know it's... And what's his...
I know his number is like 16 now, so I know it's
not him. I know it's not Kachak either because...
He's a winger. An American winger. His number
19. Not right now. Who's the fourth on center?
Is it... I'm trying to think, is it for Hagee?
It's not for Hagee. I mean, I don't have a guess.
I'm just trying to picture the cup last year,
and like, cup passing. I'm trying to remember
if he's still there. Rodriguez. Evan Rodriguez?
He's still there. What's his number over there
though? It's still a single digit, nine. Is it
still? Yeah. It's not a bad guess though, Jeff.
I said when I was looking... The age, I think
the age would be close to him. I think he might
be closer to like 29, but... I was looking at...
so that's why... Isn't he also Canadian? I think
so, yeah. That's the only other thing is he might
be Canadian. Yeah, I got no other guesses. I
mean... Damn. So he's Finnish or Russian. That's
probably a good, good chance. Could be like Slovenian
or Slovakian, but... Not a whole lot of those
guys in the league anymore Where's the the other
aho that's right, he's with Pittsburgh's he's
very yeah Carolina's is still in Carolina the
Ford in Carolina defenseman walks. So I got nothing
Just guess Barkov. E2, I never would have gotten
that. No. E2 Listerine and he was finished. Yeah,
I never would have gotten that in a billion years.
That was rough today. Those were two very tough
rounds. Yeah, that's what she said, so. Alright.
Moving on to uh... Bondraken or are you gonna
do mine first? Uh, let's do yours first. Okay.
So you guys know the rules. I do list you off
one player at a time up to ten. You guys have
to just guess what the category is. You guys
remember that? Yep. Okay. So first cat - I have
two categories today. First one, Joe Thornton.
Jimmy Jones! Uh, nickname? No. Okay. Well, Joe
Thornton isn't his nickname. Well, I just - I
just - That's why I - Okay, yeah, yeah. Uh, Chris
Drury. Former Sharks captains. No. Played for
multiple teams. No. Mark Messier. Oh, former
NHL captains? No. Okay. Okay. No? No. You're
on the right track. Wayne Gretzky. Have had their
numbers retired? No. Well, that's not a bad guess.
It took me a second. I was like, wait, Messier's
numbers when it's retired are in New York. And
I think it is by Edmonton as well. I believe
so. Oh yeah, you're right. I think the only one
that didn't for Messi was Vancouver. Chris Pronger.
Has played for a team of the East? No. Has at
least made the Stanley Cup finals? No. These
are all applied, but it's not what I'm looking
for. Yomur Yager. No. Chris Chelios. Just think
back to some of your last guesses here. Have
at least played each at least once in their career
in the playoffs Play you what at least one any
of those guys have no no See I was gonna say
at least cap from one team to stay like a file
but George Thornton didn't do it because you
were the a in 16 So I said you're very you're
on the right track with the captain Scott Stevens.
Have I won a letter internationally? No, these
are all really good guesses though. Ron Francis,
this is number nine. We're gonna hate ourselves
for this, aren't we? Probably. I mean, it's tough
to get, but you guys are very close. Or at least
Colin is. I only sent captain teams to cup playoffs
or stand -up cup finals, right? We said that,
yeah. Okay. I can't remember if I did or not.
And finally Doug Gilmore. I thought you were
going to say Doug Blatt. He's not a real character.
Yeah, I got nothing. Let's go over this one more
time and I'll give you guys one final guess.
Joe Thornton, Chris Jury, Mark Messier, Wayne
Gretzky, Chris Pronger, Yomri Yager, Chris Cellios,
Scott Stephens, Ron Francis, Doug Gilmore. players
who captained more than one team All those guys
were captains for at least two different teams
Wait, Joe Thornton captain the Bruins in one
point? No fucking way. Yeah, I'm sorry This is
all via Reddit from what I went through and looked
at Because he would have been way before you
know, Bergeron would have been around Yeah, Joe
Thornton was the captain of the boss of rooms
from 2002 to 2006 the 0203 season to the 0506
season Okay, right, but would have been probably
right before Charm got there Okay, all right
the jury was the Rangers and one other team messy
would have been the Oilers and Rangers obviously
the Kings obviously great skills the Kings Oilers,
Pronger would have been, I think the Ducks and
somebody else. Ducks and Flyers. He was the Flyers
captain for a while. Jagger off the pens and
caps. Cellios would have been, I think Red Wings
and... Flyers? No, you don't have to be Flyers.
Red Wings and somebody else. Stevens was Devils
and... Can't remember the other team for that
one. Carolina? Didn't he play... Didn't he captain
Carolina? Ron Francis was Pittsburgh, Carolina.
Yeah. Doug Gilmore. Toronto and... I can write
a second team for him, but... Yeah, and second
one. Alright, first name... Dustin Brown. Players
that are stripped of the seas. Stanley Cup champion.
No. Pavel Datsuk. Players that have played in
multiple Stanley Cup finals throughout the year.
No. Okay. Okay. None. Patrice Bergeron Not the
sulky because Datsue never won the sulky and
I know Bergeron never won any scoring titles
or scoring races or whatever So it can't be hardware
that stuff. Obviously not the Stanley Cup finals.
We're gonna have to do it with hardware now.
Oh, okay. Corey Crawford Shane don't Planners
that have only spent the career entire career
with one franchise nailed it. Yep. Fuck. Yeah,
let's go whole career with one franchise. Yeah,
I That's why I kind of I try to throw Shane don't
in there to mess with you guys He was technically,
you know thrashers and Jets around sorry Jets
and um, Arizona Arizona, but that's that's one
franchise though. Yeah Two teams, one franchise.
That's why I threw him in there right in the
middle to try to fuck with you. That's the one
he sniped it on. Nice. Other names were Ryan
Gitzlav, Mario Lemieux, Henrik Lundquist, Rick
DiPietro, and Steve Iserman. I was going to say,
not Lundquist, but I forgot his last name. He
got traded to one. It was in Washington, but
he never played. Yeah, he played against the
hard props. Nice. Sniped that one on, what, five?
Nice. Not too shabby. That was actually what
was going to be one of my guests. Cut was one
or two rounds. I was good. I thought I honestly
I was wearing bread You guys might snipe that
on like two or even on the Dustin Brown one I
was like watching pull it out of their ass on
Dustin Brown or something All right, we got some
So I know the four nations is a little bit behind
us now a couple weeks behind all we can have
We got a half behind us, but Now that all the
dust has settled and everything, we've moved
on from it. Not officially, but pretty much hockey
-wise we've moved past it. Best goalies at four
nations. Number one, minus Ulmerich. Okay, and
he would have been what? Finnish? Team Finland's
goalie? Or is he Sweden's? Sweden's. You're Sweden's
goalie? Because Lukenen was... That's right.
Okay. Yeah all work is Swedish. Okay. I mean
he will I mean I mean I was I can only really
think of like the top two being awesome Bennington
and Helly So does he go like three or four I
Put him at three. Yeah, I think it's perfect
to put him at three. All right Number two The
otter Jake Ottinger I'm going to put him at five
only because we sound play one game, and he lost
it And are we talking just for the tournament
or overall overall overall Oh our best for you.
I'm sorry at the tournament at the tournament
Okay, that I put down at the four nations at
the tournament in the adding five because then
we only sound play one game He lost it Whether
it was his fault or not. I mean Yeah, he lost
that game. Third one, Jeremy Swainman. Swainman,
okay. Oh, so he can only put one of Bennington
or Helly in here. Well, I don't know, because
Jeremy Swainman's my third one, so... True, so
he could put Uka in there, he could not put Uka
in there. He could put Sweden's backup in there,
which I don't even know if I can tell you who
that was. I don't know. Who did I put in there?
Jeremy Swainman, which we would have been what?
USA's third string? Yeah, he would have been
Canada's. Canada's backup or would have been
USA's third string? Was Swainman American? No,
he was... No, he is American. Swainman was American,
right? American. Yeah, so he would have been
our third string, which he wouldn't have seen
any time. No. Thinking I'd put him at four. Number
four, Connor Halbuck. Okay. I mean, we put him
at one in case he gives us Uka. Or we put him
at two in case he gives us Bennington. I mean,
regardless, I think Kelly was the best goalie
in the tournament. I mean, Bennington played
the best game overall, obviously, in the final.
Even though I think Kelly was the better goaltender
overall throughout the entirety of the tournament.
But I mean, Bennington won the biggest game of
the tournament. So is he going to give us Benny
or is he going to give us Uka? I mean, regardless,
I'm okay with putting Helenbuck at one. Yeah.
Regardless. So I think we want to put Helenbuck
at one. Is that your final answer? Final answer.
And the number two... Aiden Hill, wow. He really
fucked with us there. I really wanted to try
and fucking gasite you guys there. You did a
little bit. I honestly wouldn't even thought
of Aiden Hill. He would have been Canada's third
string backup. He's been their backup. He is
Canadian, so... He would probably have been either
their backup or third string. I'm okay with that.
That's fine, then. works all right the moment
you have all been waiting for probably not really
but the results from our fantasy draft that we
did last episode so we'll go to where do we want
to start we already got the rosters pulled up
Colin we're done these rosters ready up the season
mode pulled up and everything teams all in it
let's go to Christmas Day that'd be a good a
good starting point so because we know everybody's
gonna be off we can get steady standings so we
turned injuries off at least we're pretty sure
so then it is as fair as possible so then the
exact rosters we have are playing the games the
exact rosters that we drafted quote -unquote
we I turned off trades but you know decline trade
just declining all trades from here on out like
this is the team we drafted this is the team
we're gonna stick with teams we're gonna stick
with Even if somebody gets offered Connor McDavid,
sorry tough shit, which Edmonton wouldn't do
that unless you offered him like 17 first -round
picks and 35 trillion dollars We're getting to
another trade decline trade And my team might
really likes to go just about to Christmas Day,
we are Christmas Day Colin is We're gonna go
to Go like actual like standings Just go over
to see like in the Pacific like right there.
Yep so Colin two stats is fourth in his division
at 17 14 and 3 500 17 17 37 points Jeff he's
in the metro. Yeah, he's in the fifth in his
division and out of a playoff spot Just barely
is 17 16 and 2 at 36 points Myself in second
in my division 46 points 21 10 and 4 just behind
the Colorado Avalanche So let's go up to say
up to the trade deadline four nations go to the
four nations, okay. Oh, hold on how Up to the
up to the all -star break. Okay. No, it is only
another two weeks, but we'll trade just today
Just go to the end of the four nations. All right
This episode is brought to you by Rogain. Oh,
another trade. Oh, I have to decline. Oh, thanks.
You win two, lose one, win one, lose three, win
one, lose one. No wonder why my wild card is
team only. Aw, you lost to me. Four to three
in the shootout. Another four to three shootout
loss. Or overtime loss. Another shootout loss.
No, declined trade. Come on. I know it's doable,
but I mean, come on. Okay, so we are at the Four
Nations break. Pretty much in the same spots
as we were. One point off of playoff spot, unfortunately.
The Johnnys, the Kyleys. Still on second. 33
-17 -6. Jeffy drop down to seven. Oh 22 29 and
5 ouch Hey, just skip to the end of the season
now Let's skip to Easter Sunday 420 that Why
is it so funny Kyle isn't so funny Easter is
on April 20th for 20. That's the data Keep going
We are monitoring Colin's team on our screen,
so. It's Colin. Again, winning one, winning two,
losing two. Losing three. Losing three. Winning
one, winning two. Three -game winning streak.
Now it's time for a four -game losing streak.
One, two. Jesus Christ. Fuck, damn it! Wins one,
loses one. Two, three. Wins one, loses one. Wins
one, loses one, wins two, yay! Don't worry, looks
like... The playoffs. Looks like Kyle, you're
the only one who made the playoffs. I'm the only
one who made the playoffs. Let's go back, let's
go back. Let's see what we actually finished
with in the season standings. Just go down there.
I think you already went and skipped past it.
No, here's the regular season standings. You
should be able to see the regular season standings
yet. Oh, the Vegas injured reserves missed the
playoffs. Wow. So you missed it by, how many
points did you miss it by? You tied Vegas with
90. Nah, that would be a... By five points. By
five points, wow. Man, if I didn't lose so many
fucking games in overtime. I was one point out
of clinching the entire West. 47, 28, and 7.
I was like 5 - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You can tell this is a simulation. Pittsburgh
Penguins, 47 -23. That's why I have a chance
to play the Penguins in the Stanley Cup final.
Jeffy was 12 from the whole Eastern Conference.
Not bad, though. 36 -4. That team that you had,
that's honestly not horrible. You came back fifth
in the Metro, very tough Metro. Yeah. Still about
19 points out of the playoff spot. Well, when
the Hurricanes missed the playoffs with 86 points,
you know you're in a tough heat. Hold on. Let's
see what that team looked like. Yeah, wow, yeah
Detroit only missed the pass by four points Which
I mean the real life right now they might make
and then they're they're fighting the fighting
team Let's uh, let's just seem like round by
round here Let's go here since Kyle your team
is the only one in the playoffs right now some
like the first three 25th Lost the four one first
one game down to one. Okay Send the next one
We tied at two we do not We are down three games
to one All right, so the same game will go period
by period so same period Right now three to three
to one lead after two after one Four to one lead
after two and a six to one final You survive
survive another day three games to two move on
to game six in Johnny Arena I Really do not want
to see that mascot. Oh god a fucking child or
something nothing nothing after one four to one
Colorado after two not looking good there and
Kyle loses in game six in round one damn I still
want the furthest does Pittsburgh still live
in this in Yeah, oh they did Florida. They beat
the reigning cup champions. They will go up to
May 15th See how see how we're doing round two
goes It's Pittsburgh still in it Pittsburgh's
out. We got the Rangers the Bruins and then who
else was in the West? I want to peg Dallas big
Dallas We have a Stanley Cup final. Oh, no, it's
the Nashville Predators in the event in the bank
of a cat Wow Nashville Predators in New York
Rangers New York Rangers win the Stanley Cup
for the first time since 1994 Wow 31 years I'm
not disappointed. I knew I had a bum of a team
Mine was definitely pretty good. I mean I didn't
expect to get that far like we had in the past
like That pastor after we had just an a lot powerhouse
team Well, yeah considering that was definitely
more constrictive see you know for sure I know
this All right before we wrap it up here Let's
talk about a couple of the trades that happened
since last recording back on the 24th. There's
a small little one Anaheim Ducks acquired goaltender
Vili who so from the Detroit Red Wings for future
considerations and then i'm done for like to
send out a good thank you for the future considerations
did you see i saw that tweet yeah i saw that
thank you to future considerations for everything
you've done for us i i love when teams do that
like so funny like chirp into those those small
little dumb details yeah uh another one well
we're gonna skip ahead because we got a bunch
of minor minor leaguers and prospects so skipping
up forward to march 1st we got the avalanche
acquiring from the rangers jimmy vasey and defenseman
ryan lindgren and hank gampf and uh an exchange
for calvin dehaan uh yusa parsons yuso italian
season or something i don't know and a conditional
second and fourth round picks in the 2025 nhl
drafts That's definitely one I didn't see coming.
Ryan Lindgren being traded out of the Rangers.
I didn't see that one coming. You're looking
at two of the big four defensemen in the Rangers
being daunted this season. Yeah. I mean. Sure,
Ryan Lindgren, yeah. You have one. The other
one that happened on March 1st. Minnesota Wild
acquire four Gustav Nyquist from the National
Predators for a second round pick in the 2026
NHL Draft. which I definitely think is a little
bit of a steal. I think Nyquist is getting a
little bit older, and to get a second round pick
out of him, I think that's a pretty good win
-win for the Predators, honestly. And I'm pretty
sure he's coming up in contract year, too. I
think so, yeah. So, I mean, what happens if he
doesn't re -sign right out of the team? Oh no,
the only thing you're really gaining from this
is a second round pick. And then the last big
trade to happen as of March 1st, The Panthers
acquire Seth Jones in the fourth round pick in
26. From Chicago, four goalie Spencer Knight
in the first rounder in 26. Which I'm kind of
disappointed because I really do like Spencer
Knight and what he does. I really do like him
in Florida. He's going to go to waste in Chicago,
but you know. Know they have a pretty decent
goaltending pool in their system both with Peter
Morazzic whoever the other backup is out there
I know our man the OG Benny Goodrow is in the
system. He's done No, he's the easy job team
India. Okay, so you guys he said down so he's
in the third -tier league I think He's not playing
for awkward he's with um Is it the Syracuse Crunch?
No. Not the Syracuse Crunch. Indianapolis was
the ECHL. The field, okay, yeah. Yeah, so, so
far Ben Goodrose has only played five games for
Rockford with an 8 -6 -8 save percentage and
a 3 -19 goals against. And then in 28 games with
the Indy Fool, he has, it's a 2 -4 -4 goals against.
in a 9 -0 -4 save percentage. Not bad, Benny.
Not bad, Benny. Attaboy. And yeah, right now,
I mean, with that trade, I mean, Chicago's new
goaltending tandem appears to be Arvid Soderblom,
Peter Mrazic, and then Spencer Knight, which
if they're using him as a third stringer, then
that's just stupid. He's definitely the second
stringer out there. I'm sorry. And then the Panthers
obviously having Bob and their new backup right
now is Chris Dreiger. So. He was with Seattle
for a while, I believe he was with. I remember
who he was with before Seattle. I know they took
him in the expansion draft. Even if Peter Maras
against him going down, I mean, Knight's a good
option, Silver Broker is a good option. They're
not the long -term options for Chicago. They're
definitely a good 2 -8 -2 -P bearing. He was
with Florida before he went to Seattle, and now
he's back with Florida again. Started off with
Otto. He played... one game in three different
seasons for Ottawa. But he was just a relief
appearance because he only made 10 saves, 11
saves, and 15 saves in those three games. Yeah,
so he started with Florida really, pretty much
went to Seattle in the expansion draft. Now he's
back with Florida. Yeah, that was one that was
at the game with Jeff on Friday night. I was
like, what the fuck? I said Seth Jones just got
traded to Florida for Spencer Knight. I was like,
what? Yeah, crazy crazy couple trades there in
the past couple days there So I'm sure we're
gonna have a lot more coming up here with the
trade deadline being on what Friday or Thursday
Friday Friday Friday Deadline ends at 3 p .m.
Eastern Standard Time I'll be in front of my
TV all day Yeah, we're off 3 p .m. Eastern obviously
trades could trickle in so the latest time we
can I ever see a trade is 5 p .m. Eastern Standard
Time Yeah, I know one player I definitely know
is on the trade block who can be traded any moment
is Riley Smith of the Rangers. I know he, because
he was benched in today's game. I saw people
on the Penguins, you know, one of their Facebook
pages, bring back Riley Smith. He hated playing
here, why the fuck would we bring him back? One
that I know is rumored. To be on the Penguins
block right now is... EK65. EK65. Other one I've
seen as of recent, the past couple weeks, is
Ricky. Yeah. I've seen that rumored that Ricky
might be on the block. We could get a good return
back for Ricky. Especially how good he's playing
right now. How good he's been playing. EK, I
don't see us getting much more than maybe like
a third and maybe a prospect. Because he's old.
He's old. He's 35, 34, 35 now. Ricky's not much
younger Ricky's that big 30 himself But the way
he's playing right now, he's still young. He's
just know what seems to be just now reaching
his prime Which I think that means it'd be a
stupid idea to treat him But I do think he could
be a part of the future of this team for at least
the next couple years Really start to rebuild
this team around him I'm not saying he's gonna
be the next, you know, Sidney Crosby to lead
this team to three Stanley Cups but I do think
it would be dumb to trade him at this point,
but that is what I have been seeing, is that
he could be on the move by Friday. I was celebrating.
I saw that Ottawa beat Windsor 5 -4, and then
I realized Saginaw beat North Bay 8 -3. Damn.
I saw that one earlier, yeah? Yeah. Damn! But...
Like I said, hopefully Friday, so Otters can
clinch the playoffs with a win on Friday, so
let's hope that that can happen. But anything
else to add, either one of you? I don't think
so. Do one last quick scroll through of our group
chat here. Make sure we didn't miss anything.
I was going to bring up the unofficial mascot,
but he ran off somewhere. The little shit that
he is. I believe we are good. Yep. Just a quick
little fun fact that Colin had sent Luke and
Braden Shen become the first siblings to reach
a thousand game milestone in the same season.
Luke Shen did it back on October 17th. Braden
Shen just did it a couple days ago on February
27th. So that's pretty cool. Oh, yeah, hold on.
I do want to send out a huge giant congratulations
to the Vegas Golden Knights for making it through
February without putting Mark Stone on LTII.
Congratulations, guys. You finally did it for
once. Now as soon as soon as soon as soon as
we post this he's gonna go on LTIR He's gonna
go on LTIR on Thursday right before the deadline.
They're gonna they're gonna bring in fucking
Jake Ensell, Nikita Kutura We should probably
go before Otis decides to tear down the studio.
Yeah. Yeah, that's all guys Thank you guys for
listening. Hopefully we may see you next week.
We said we might come back next week except with
an episode next week With an episode next week
depending on how crazy this trade deadline gets
If a lot happens, then we will probably record
next week If not, we will probably push it off
to according till the 16th, which will absolutely
be live on the 17th. So Yeah, thank you guys
for listening and we will see you guys next episode.
See ya
