WEBVTT

00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:03.960
And once freaking again, we see another Florida

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.620
team, number one in the Cup Finals, and number

00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:10.919
two lifts Florida's family to keep it in the

00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.500
Sunshine State. Down here stateside, where it

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:18.519
fucking belongs! Fourth time in the past six

00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.100
years, a Florida team has won the Stanley Cup.

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.079
Because we just get so many different, like,

00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:27.260
I know, I'm happy to keep it stateside, but that's

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:29.219
true to anybody else other than the state of

00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:32.549
Florida. Please. Let's get a break from a little

00:00:32.549 --> 00:00:36.270
bit. From Florida, from Edmonton, from Vegas

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.329
always making the Final Four, Dallas always making

00:00:39.329 --> 00:00:43.549
the Final Four. Was it the last seven Cups eight

00:00:43.549 --> 00:00:46.450
Atlantic Division teams have represented in the

00:00:46.450 --> 00:00:49.530
Stanley Cup? You're like, wait a second. Where'd

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:51.789
the eighth team come from? Yeah, we know. Tampa

00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:55.109
Bay, Montreal. Can't forget that one. Still the

00:00:55.109 --> 00:01:00.000
weirdest format of... Yeah, it was just so weird.

00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:01.719
I mean, just to hold that whole North division,

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.400
making the Canadian division a whole separate

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.439
from everybody else was what screwed everything

00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.000
up and made it weird. Like, it's understandable

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.260
because Canada is their own separate entity from

00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:13.980
the States. So, like, obviously with the whole

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.519
pandemic, you know, everybody's going to treat

00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.480
it differently. But honestly, at the time, it

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.760
was definitely entertaining and interesting.

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:24.060
But it's just looking at it. Just how it was,

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.719
we could have seen. You could have seen Winnipeg

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.480
taking on Dallas, because both of them are at

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.640
the Central. We could have seen... I mean, I

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:32.859
guess the only way it could not have happened

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:35.400
would have been probably the Metro. I think that's

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.900
the only way you would have seen, stereotypically,

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:40.980
the same division playing against each other.

00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:44.959
I guess you could have had maybe Pittsburgh -Carolina.

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:46.459
I think Carolina might have been in the Central

00:01:46.459 --> 00:01:48.579
that year. Yeah, they were. So you could have

00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:50.980
possibly seen Pittsburgh -Carolina, Philly -Carolina.

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:52.760
I know Philly, I think, was Rob Robin. I think

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.700
they were top four in the league that year. Yeah,

00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.109
they... They were top four in the East at the

00:01:58.109 --> 00:02:03.810
time. Either way, those are dark times. Those

00:02:03.810 --> 00:02:06.090
are dark times. So maybe in the West you may

00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:07.769
not have been able to see two from the same?

00:02:07.989 --> 00:02:10.449
Well, Pacific, you could have done Vancouver.

00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:13.509
Yeah, Vancouver and any of the California teams

00:02:13.509 --> 00:02:17.310
or Vancouver. Vegas, you know. Any of those guys.

00:02:18.830 --> 00:02:21.349
Yeah, it's very possible. Any division could

00:02:21.349 --> 00:02:23.960
have seen two from the same. Same division playing.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.780
Yeah. Yeah, it's their typical same division

00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:31.800
in that Cup final. Yeah, I mean, the last six

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.159
years we've seen, what, Tampa, Tampa, Colorado,

00:02:34.219 --> 00:02:37.780
Vegas, now Florida, Florida. Yep. I mean, each

00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:39.379
of the last six years, Florida has represented

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:44.479
the Stanley Cup. So, I mean, yeah, but Florida

00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.020
did the opposite of Tampa Bay, though. Tampa

00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:47.759
Bay went back -to -back and then lost their third.

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.080
Yep. Florida lost their first and now have gone

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.020
back -to -back, so. I wonder how they're going

00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:53.780
to end up doing next year. I think it all depends

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:55.740
on how many of these guys they're able to bring

00:02:55.740 --> 00:02:58.060
back, how many guys re -sign, how many guys are

00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:00.900
gone. So, no, they have a couple. I know Aaron

00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:02.659
Eckblad's going to be an unrestricted free agent.

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.539
Also, Stan Bennett's going to be an unrestricted

00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:07.580
free agent. Brad Marchand. I'm not too sure about

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:09.120
Seth Jones. I know he came over in the trade.

00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.120
I'm not too sure how much slipped on his contract.

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.719
I believe there's one more. I don't think Barkov

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.139
is yet. But no, I'm pretty sure there's at least

00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:21.770
one more on that team. supposed to possibly be

00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:25.849
gone here. Seth Jones is good until the 29 -30

00:03:25.849 --> 00:03:35.330
season. Oh, he's good until the 29 -30 season?

00:03:35.590 --> 00:03:39.770
Yeah. Oh, damn. Okay. I think you should file

00:03:39.770 --> 00:03:41.689
a sign and really get an eight -year deal. Same

00:03:41.689 --> 00:03:44.229
thing with Kachuk through the 29 -30 season.

00:03:46.090 --> 00:03:48.490
I knew Kachuk wasn't close. I knew Kachuk just

00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:54.180
signed. Brian Harden, I'm pretty sure, isn't

00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:59.120
good until like 29. I think Verheyen is. Verheyen

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.939
might be the one that's close. I think he has

00:04:01.939 --> 00:04:07.939
like two or three more years or somewhat. If

00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:14.379
I'm guessing. I know we already discussed this,

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:19.889
but Ekblad. Sasha Barkov is on... Oh, he's under

00:04:19.889 --> 00:04:23.550
contract with Panthers to the 2030 -2031 season.

00:04:23.790 --> 00:04:25.550
Yeah, he must have just signed like last year

00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:27.490
then or two years ago. Like an eight -year deal

00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:31.550
or something. Actually, maybe. He's starting

00:04:31.550 --> 00:04:34.310
to get older. He's what, 29, 30 years old? I'm

00:04:34.310 --> 00:04:37.170
sorry, no, I'm wrong. Yeah, through the 2029

00:04:37.170 --> 00:04:42.310
season. Okay. Excuse me. Sam Bennett, I think

00:04:42.310 --> 00:04:43.569
they're probably going to do whatever they can

00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:45.649
to try to re -sign him. I think Bennett's going

00:04:45.649 --> 00:04:48.560
to try to... If not... I don't think we discussed

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.519
this on recording last time, but I think we discussed

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.259
this when we got together and watched what was

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:54.839
it, Game 4? When we came here and watched Game

00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.579
4? I think Boston would be a good place for Sam

00:04:57.579 --> 00:04:59.959
Bennett. Just that, their type of play style,

00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.420
just the whole, the way they play the game, I

00:05:02.420 --> 00:05:04.759
think his style of play would fit in with Boston

00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.259
very, very well. And they're obviously going

00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:09.000
to have the room to fit him with all these guys

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.379
that they lost at the deadline. You know who's

00:05:11.379 --> 00:05:16.420
going to be a UFA this year? Sergey Roborovsky.

00:05:17.129 --> 00:05:18.649
That's okay, that is the other one. That's the

00:05:18.649 --> 00:05:22.230
other big name. Sergey Bobrovsky is... Obviously,

00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:24.769
you've got Vitek Vanacek as the number two right

00:05:24.769 --> 00:05:28.709
now. But, again, he's no Bob. He's no Bob. You've

00:05:28.709 --> 00:05:30.470
got to re -sign him after the way he played this

00:05:30.470 --> 00:05:33.149
season's playoffs, man. In my opinion, I still

00:05:33.149 --> 00:05:35.110
think he deserves a consummate on Sam Bennett.

00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:38.589
Not only this year, but the past three years,

00:05:38.670 --> 00:05:42.490
the Panthers... Not in the regular season, postseason,

00:05:42.629 --> 00:05:45.709
cup finals, whatever. He has played... Out of

00:05:45.709 --> 00:05:49.470
his fucking mind. I think he might have been

00:05:49.470 --> 00:05:52.509
out the first year against Vegas. I think that

00:05:52.509 --> 00:05:54.629
might have been why they lost. I could be wrong.

00:05:55.050 --> 00:05:59.009
I think that's why. I thought he was in there.

00:05:59.389 --> 00:06:01.930
Was he in there? I'm pretty sure that's why they're

00:06:01.930 --> 00:06:04.629
out of struggles. I'm pretty sure he was in there

00:06:04.629 --> 00:06:09.310
at one point. I knew he was hurt that year. At

00:06:09.310 --> 00:06:11.410
some point in the playoffs. I want to say that's

00:06:11.410 --> 00:06:15.069
when they had Spencer Knight in it. I want to

00:06:15.069 --> 00:06:22.410
say. I want to say Brokowski played. The 22 -23

00:06:22.410 --> 00:06:28.490
postseason, Brokowski played in 19 games, started

00:06:28.490 --> 00:06:32.910
18 of them, and went 12 -6. Maybe he did, sir.

00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:37.589
Majority of them. I mean. Maybe he played that

00:06:37.589 --> 00:06:39.009
first. Maybe he was out for that final is what

00:06:39.009 --> 00:06:47.790
I'm talking about. He only played 12 games. Just

00:06:47.790 --> 00:06:49.490
trying to do a little bit of research here. They

00:06:49.490 --> 00:07:02.149
did, well, 7, 12, 16, 21 games that postseason

00:07:02.149 --> 00:07:04.149
for the Florida Panthers. Because they had 7

00:07:04.149 --> 00:07:07.649
against Boston in that big upset, 5 against Tampa,

00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:10.509
or not Tampa, Toronto, the sweep against Carolina,

00:07:10.629 --> 00:07:14.730
and then game 5 against... So, like I said, 20...

00:07:15.209 --> 00:07:17.750
I forgot that already. Who played the other couple?

00:07:18.209 --> 00:07:21.129
I just forgot there wasn't Spencer Knight. Who

00:07:21.129 --> 00:07:24.949
else did they have had that year? Obviously Bobby

00:07:24.949 --> 00:07:27.310
Lee would have been long gone. He's been long

00:07:27.310 --> 00:07:31.509
gone. Oh, man. I can't remember who they're up

00:07:31.509 --> 00:07:33.730
to. I know they had one. Vinichuk wasn't there

00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:35.610
yet. I think he might have been still in Washington.

00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:43.009
Damn, yeah. Who did they have over there? I'm

00:07:43.009 --> 00:07:44.949
trying to think, but nothing's coming to mind.

00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:50.430
Someone else I think of is Bob and Knight. I

00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:51.550
think that's another one of those years where

00:07:51.550 --> 00:07:54.290
I think Vegas had six goalies on the ice for

00:07:54.290 --> 00:07:57.769
celebration that year. Just ridiculous, because

00:07:57.769 --> 00:07:59.949
they would have had Quick, and they would have

00:07:59.949 --> 00:08:02.910
had Hill, Samson, I think they had Samson, Thompson.

00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:09.110
Sergei, Spencer Knight was the backup. Because

00:08:09.110 --> 00:08:12.060
that was the year... They also had Eric Stahl,

00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:17.680
Rocco Gutis, Ryan Lomberg, Mark Stahl, Patrick

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.920
Hornquist, Chris Tierney, Alex Lyon was that

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.339
other goaltender that was in there. Lyon, okay,

00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:28.300
Lyon. That makes sense then. Yeah, the Florida

00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:30.839
Panthers this year, man, were just kind of new

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.539
to when he was getting past them. After that

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:35.240
third round, how they just absolutely manhandled

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.200
Carolina and how good Carolina looked through

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.259
the first two series. and they just did not have

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:43.379
a single problem with him. I mean, I thought

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:45.159
that everything was going to put up a little

00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:46.500
bit more of a fight. I really thought we might

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:50.399
have seen a seven -game series there. Unfortunately,

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.940
we didn't. They just did not show up. Just did

00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:55.620
not show up. Conor McDavid kind of very much

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:59.840
did not show up in the finals this year. Yeah,

00:08:59.899 --> 00:09:02.320
so it was Alex Lyon who was in number two, so

00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:07.539
that's probably why. In that playoff run, Bobrovsky...

00:09:07.929 --> 00:09:10.250
All I'm getting is the same percentage, so Brobowski

00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:13.809
was a 9 .15 and Mayan was an 8 .88. Oof, yeah.

00:09:15.730 --> 00:09:21.110
So, very well, very well might have. Yeah. That's

00:09:21.110 --> 00:09:23.610
very, very upsetting now that the hockey season

00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:25.789
is officially over. Literally nothing to watch.

00:09:25.970 --> 00:09:28.850
No hockey whatsoever. No OHL, no minor leagues,

00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:32.370
no college hockey, even the PWHL obviously landed

00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:35.549
about a month ago. We got nothing to watch right

00:09:35.549 --> 00:09:37.450
now, man. The only thing we got excited for is

00:09:37.450 --> 00:09:40.629
the draft this upcoming weekend. And then free

00:09:40.629 --> 00:09:42.409
agency the following Monday, following Tuesday.

00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.049
That's about all we got for hockey content for

00:09:46.049 --> 00:09:51.009
a while. Which also means this is the last episode,

00:09:51.110 --> 00:09:54.870
officially, of Season 5 of the Buckbuster Podcast.

00:09:55.669 --> 00:09:58.769
Which is crazy to say. It literally feels like

00:09:58.769 --> 00:10:01.190
yesterday we recorded the last episode of Season

00:10:01.190 --> 00:10:04.190
1. And now here we are, you know, four seasons

00:10:04.190 --> 00:10:07.610
later, you know, planning for season six to come

00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:10.610
up here, probably October time. And that's just

00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:12.789
the same thing. It's funny to think, like, how

00:10:12.789 --> 00:10:17.230
much we've all grown over it. Yeah, man, we say

00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:18.889
it every year. I think we say it in every season

00:10:18.889 --> 00:10:22.029
finale, but just, I wouldn't say professionalism.

00:10:22.090 --> 00:10:24.649
We're still very unprofessional. But when it

00:10:24.649 --> 00:10:27.409
comes to the way we speak and act around each

00:10:27.409 --> 00:10:29.250
other, it's definitely unprofessional. I think

00:10:29.250 --> 00:10:31.029
the way we handle things, the way we go into

00:10:31.029 --> 00:10:33.049
each week trying to plan things is definitely

00:10:33.049 --> 00:10:36.429
more planned out than it was. Nine out of ten

00:10:36.429 --> 00:10:38.309
times, at least, we still have at least an idea

00:10:38.309 --> 00:10:40.389
of what we want to talk about going into an episode.

00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:42.909
Back then, we literally just would show up that

00:10:42.909 --> 00:10:45.549
night, wing it, do research an hour before we

00:10:45.549 --> 00:10:49.070
hit record, bullshit for an hour with the testing

00:10:49.070 --> 00:10:51.070
on, and then we'd finally start recording. It

00:10:51.070 --> 00:10:53.230
would take us, all together, it would take us

00:10:53.230 --> 00:10:55.049
probably three and a half to four hours to record

00:10:55.049 --> 00:10:57.789
an hour and ten minute episode. Now here we are.

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.019
We hit record and maybe these days hit pause

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:05.080
once or twice during an episode and get an hour

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.740
and a half done in an hour and 45 minutes. Which

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:13.240
is crazy. Colin's got another blind ranking for

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.320
us here. Bring that back from what we did a couple

00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.919
months ago. I was just trying to do a little

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.399
research on our conversation earlier. Mayan did

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.450
see some ice time in the cup final when Bob got

00:11:28.450 --> 00:11:32.769
pulled in game two in a 7 -2 loss. Okay. So that's

00:11:32.769 --> 00:11:36.169
the only time Lyon got some action. So Bob was

00:11:36.169 --> 00:11:40.350
in for that 9 -3 final loss? Oh, wow. Damn. They

00:11:40.350 --> 00:11:41.370
were like, yeah, we're just going to keep you

00:11:41.370 --> 00:11:43.549
in, Bob. I know. Salvage whatever little confidence

00:11:43.549 --> 00:11:45.830
you have left. Actually, there was one more thing

00:11:45.830 --> 00:11:48.470
I wanted to talk about about the finals. So I

00:11:48.470 --> 00:11:53.549
saw something with, like, comparing Pittsburgh's

00:11:53.549 --> 00:11:58.649
back -to -back in 16 -17, Tampa's... 20 and 21,

00:11:58.850 --> 00:12:04.049
and then obviously now Florida's 24, 25. Who

00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:07.690
do you think was overall the better dynasty of

00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:15.330
those three? Not Tampa because of the bubble.

00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:20.509
That Stanley Cup doesn't count. Their team in

00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:23.350
21 was really good, though. I have to say Florida

00:12:23.350 --> 00:12:28.879
because... They were unstoppable all season of

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.480
these two years. They were just nobody. It feels

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.059
like that's a team you did not want to play.

00:12:33.539 --> 00:12:35.019
If you were trying to play for a playoff spot,

00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:36.299
you did not want to go and have to play that

00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:37.700
because you're not going to win. You're going

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:40.039
to end up missing the playoff spot. They beat

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:41.500
the shit out of every team they played pretty

00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:42.960
much in the first three rounds. I mean, last

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:44.320
year I think the first round when they were kind

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.460
of the – I think they were the wild card last

00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:49.159
year when they barely beat Boston. No, that was

00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.259
– Or was that the first round? Oh, yeah, that

00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:56.340
was the 22 -23 when they lost. Last year and

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:58.919
this year, they've just been unstoppable. There's

00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.100
never been a time where you think, oh, they might

00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:03.600
lose this. You do not want to count them out.

00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:07.539
Here's the thing. I feel like I can make a pretty

00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:10.759
good counter -argument with the Penguins. Because,

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.220
like, granted, at the beginning of the 15 -16

00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:15.320
season, after, you know, we had the coaching

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.399
changeover to Mike Sullivan. That's what I'm

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.059
saying. Just because we were not that good. I

00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:22.539
think we were the 7th or 8th place team in the

00:13:22.539 --> 00:13:24.840
first half of that season. They got hot at the

00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.059
right time, just like they did in 08 -09. They

00:13:27.059 --> 00:13:29.039
got hot at the right time. They picked up the

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.360
right piece. Schultz, Hagman, Bonino came in.

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.460
All the things you need to do to be good is fire

00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:38.789
coach midseason. And then they have the same

00:13:38.789 --> 00:13:42.029
pieces. They have the same team. Well, pretty

00:13:42.029 --> 00:13:45.029
much the same team carrying over from their 16

00:13:45.029 --> 00:13:49.129
Cup win to the 17 Cup win. Obviously, they already

00:13:49.129 --> 00:13:51.149
signed Matt Calder one year. The best team out

00:13:51.149 --> 00:13:55.230
of all six of those years might be the 2016 -2017

00:13:55.230 --> 00:13:58.629
Penguins. That would be the best team on paper,

00:13:58.649 --> 00:14:00.750
statistically, out of all those six. But if we're

00:14:00.750 --> 00:14:03.049
going with Dynasty as a whole, the two years

00:14:03.049 --> 00:14:05.590
as a whole, I might have to give it to Florida.

00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:10.320
I would just love to do, like, a mashup between,

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:14.059
like, the prime team of the Penguins in 16 -17

00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:18.480
and the prime team of the Panthers in 23 -24,

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.840
or 24 -25. Yeah. That second cup, the second

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.679
of the back. I think they're, this year, they

00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.480
were so good. I know, just the deadline that

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.879
they had, too, man. Like, they were already a

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.019
good team, and at the deadline, they brought

00:14:30.019 --> 00:14:33.159
in Seth Jones, they brought in Brad Marchand,

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:34.600
and there's one other one I think they brought

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:38.500
in at the deadline, too. You just knew that they

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:40.620
were saying, hey, we're going to go back to back.

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:42.659
We're not fucking around here. That's exactly

00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:44.259
what they did. And if you want to fuck that around,

00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.539
you'll find out. We're just a far better team

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:49.139
here. Easily. And the other question going into,

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.279
I guess we'll find out here in the upcoming weeks,

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:53.340
what's going to go on with Conor McDavid here?

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.580
Because he's going into this. Coming up, this

00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:56.759
is going to be his final year of his contract.

00:14:56.860 --> 00:15:00.360
This 25 -26 season is the final year of his contract.

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:02.360
What's going to be happening with him here? Are

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.559
they going to... I don't know. Is he getting

00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.840
sick of it? Is he... You know, getting tired

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.960
of carrying the team? I know in his conference...

00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.259
I mean, personally, I think Dreisaitl did more

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:13.639
of the carrying in these playoffs than he did.

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.700
I think so, too. Because I know he said in his

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:20.539
conference interview after the finals, they were

00:15:20.539 --> 00:15:23.059
asking, are you... Because Edmonton can extend

00:15:23.059 --> 00:15:29.039
him on July 1st. He said he's going to wait to

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.000
see what Edmonton is up, what they decide to

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.860
do this offseason. beginning of the season, and

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:37.440
I'll determine what he's going to do. I said

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.899
they desperately need help on the defense, but...

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:43.539
Go Tending! Go Tending! Go Tending on defense.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.740
You have two fucking pylons in the net, or two

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:48.940
pieces of Swiss cheese in the net. You have three

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:51.899
pylons on the back end, three or four pylons

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:54.320
on the back end, and your number one defenseman

00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.679
is a number four defenseman at best. Brett Kulak

00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.799
and Darnell Nurse are your number one and two

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.529
defensemen. That's a problem. That's a problem.

00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:05.789
See, the thing is, like, if they want to try

00:16:05.789 --> 00:16:08.389
to bring in some help on the back end or between

00:16:08.389 --> 00:16:10.950
the pipes, you can't really afford to give McDavid

00:16:10.950 --> 00:16:13.070
that much more money. Like, more than he's already

00:16:13.070 --> 00:16:15.210
making money. He's making $10 .5 million, $11

00:16:15.210 --> 00:16:17.070
million right now. $10 .5 million. Can you afford

00:16:17.070 --> 00:16:19.230
to make him, to give him that much more if you

00:16:19.230 --> 00:16:22.450
need help? Yeah. Well, he's got to realize, like,

00:16:22.470 --> 00:16:24.490
he's going to have to take a major pay cut if

00:16:24.490 --> 00:16:25.970
he wants, number one, if he wants to stay in

00:16:25.970 --> 00:16:28.330
Montana, and number two, if he wants to bring

00:16:28.330 --> 00:16:31.970
people in to help. Yeah. I mean, you've got the

00:16:31.970 --> 00:16:33.929
same situation over in Toronto with the... Well,

00:16:34.049 --> 00:16:37.090
what was the core four? Now that's going to change.

00:16:37.269 --> 00:16:39.789
But, like, you're spending a bunch of your money

00:16:39.789 --> 00:16:42.169
on your core people, your core four for your

00:16:42.169 --> 00:16:43.769
respective franchise. Imagine McDavid went to

00:16:43.769 --> 00:16:47.970
Toronto. Imagine Millander, Matthews, and McDavid.

00:16:48.169 --> 00:16:50.830
But let's stay on topic here for a second. When

00:16:50.830 --> 00:16:52.730
you have two of these big franchises spending

00:16:52.730 --> 00:16:56.490
a good chunk of your money on your respective

00:16:56.490 --> 00:17:00.470
core fours... You're going to run into these

00:17:00.470 --> 00:17:03.570
issues, and obviously it's a consistent thing

00:17:03.570 --> 00:17:07.910
now. Not consistent goaltending, defense that

00:17:07.910 --> 00:17:10.930
is lackluster in Hyotis, defense that is lackluster,

00:17:11.089 --> 00:17:15.890
and you fall short in probably some of the biggest

00:17:15.890 --> 00:17:19.390
stages, the highest pressure you're going to

00:17:19.390 --> 00:17:22.890
get in your respective markets. Toronto's fucking

00:17:22.890 --> 00:17:25.490
nuts. Their market's nuts. Their fans are nuts.

00:17:25.690 --> 00:17:28.690
Their Royals, fuck. Don't get me wrong. They're

00:17:28.690 --> 00:17:31.470
loyal as fuck. Steve Dangle, whatever he does,

00:17:31.609 --> 00:17:34.130
however long he's been around, he's been loyal.

00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:37.970
Empton, same kind of thing. But, like, they're

00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:41.750
so stupid when it comes to spending their money.

00:17:42.049 --> 00:17:46.049
I said they were stupid that they didn't go get

00:17:46.049 --> 00:17:47.910
a goaltender at the deadline. They were even

00:17:47.910 --> 00:17:49.609
asked, are you going to go get a goaltender?

00:17:50.190 --> 00:17:52.190
They're like, no, we're going to stick with what

00:17:52.190 --> 00:17:55.339
we got. And that's honestly what... I mean, I

00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:57.319
don't think Stolarz was the problem there in

00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.140
the playoffs. I think it's just the Maple Leafs

00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:02.140
being the Maple Leafs. In fact, if they honestly

00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:05.200
played anybody else other than Florida, I think

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:06.460
they might have very easily went to the conference.

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:10.019
It was four. I mean, the fact that they brought

00:18:10.019 --> 00:18:13.380
four in seven games, after losing five and being

00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:15.339
down three to two going into game six, they still

00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:17.720
had that confidence and enough push to survive

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.779
that game six. Yeah, you can tell that Toronto

00:18:20.779 --> 00:18:25.279
was a different team this year. They really were.

00:18:25.460 --> 00:18:28.039
They were more confident going into these playoffs.

00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:30.220
They were like, hey, we know we have the team.

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:33.200
This is our year. Let's go for it. My God, I

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.500
hate using that phrase. This is our year. Like,

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:40.619
no, okay, you're wrong. But that's a whole different

00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:42.980
rant. And, yeah, the biggest problem was Mitch

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:44.819
Marner just, again, not showing up for the playoffs.

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:48.450
Not only Mitch. I think Matthews did better than

00:18:48.450 --> 00:18:50.509
he has in years past. But he's still in the show.

00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:52.869
Nylander, I think, was one of the bigger carriers

00:18:52.869 --> 00:18:56.549
of this playoff. Only Nylander was your number

00:18:56.549 --> 00:18:59.150
one guy this postseason. I think so. Hands down,

00:18:59.289 --> 00:19:02.309
without debate. I know Matthew Nice was another

00:19:02.309 --> 00:19:07.440
one that was somewhat contributor -ish. Is he

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:08.720
even going to be staying? Is somebody going to

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.799
try to... I know there's rumors going around

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.740
about possible offer sheets. That's right. He's

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:16.140
on his last year of his rookie contract. That's

00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:18.480
the issue. They can have to sign him now or anybody

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.660
else can swoop on and offer sheet him. I'll do

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:24.500
this. I'd love it, but I don't think it's going

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:26.619
to happen. I don't think they want to be focusing

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:29.640
on defense here in this frame. They need to.

00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.059
Especially if LeTang might be... LeTang may or

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:35.660
may not be back next year with his injury. With

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:38.839
his surgery, I mean, who knows? It depends on

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.559
his health. It depends on, you know, what we

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.619
do with Eric Carlson. You know, if we end up

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:45.740
dumping him off and even a good chunk of his

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:47.940
contracts. I know there's some speculations.

00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.519
Regardless of what happens, we trade him. We're

00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:54.079
going to have to retain him. We are going to

00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:59.579
have to retain probably at least 25%. It's probably

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:01.880
going to be 50%, but it's going to be a minimum

00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.400
of retaining 25 % of that salary. I mean, it's

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.920
what? 10 and a half mil. Make it as much as a

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.640
big date, which is fucking ridiculous. For a

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:11.720
30, what, 36 -year -old? Four or five years ago,

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:13.279
I'd have said, hell yeah, he deserves that, but

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:15.420
the last two years, you know, wouldn't spend

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:17.539
with Pittsburgh, you know. Any time between the

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:22.039
15 -16 season, and I want to say the 22 -23 season.

00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:24.400
It's like his first one or two years with San

00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.079
Jose, yeah. Like, yeah, sure, pay him the money

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:28.799
that he deserves, but now he doesn't deserve

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:32.230
it. And, again, prove me wrong, Carlson. Like,

00:20:32.230 --> 00:20:35.329
go off and have a friggin' amazing year. Prove

00:20:35.329 --> 00:20:38.410
me wrong. I'm going to keep using this, like,

00:20:38.430 --> 00:20:41.450
in all, like, most sports, you know, that I consistently

00:20:41.450 --> 00:20:46.430
watch. Prove me wrong. I challenge you. Make

00:20:46.430 --> 00:20:49.269
me look like a jackass. I'm open to it. Knock

00:20:49.269 --> 00:20:51.150
my ego down a couple pegs, because right now

00:20:51.150 --> 00:20:56.190
it's at an all -time high. All right? It's going

00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:59.150
to be a very interesting free agency to say this

00:20:59.150 --> 00:21:00.769
year, especially. Florida's going to be one of

00:21:00.769 --> 00:21:02.410
those teams to look at. Boston's going to be

00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:04.329
one of those teams you want to watch. Pittsburgh,

00:21:04.369 --> 00:21:05.670
honestly, is going to be a team that's going

00:21:05.670 --> 00:21:08.029
to be in talks about who we can afford. Do you

00:21:08.029 --> 00:21:10.230
not agree? I'm sorry. Yeah, what do you have

00:21:10.230 --> 00:21:12.069
to say? Come here. Do you not agree with what

00:21:12.069 --> 00:21:14.250
I'm saying? What do you got to say? Who do you

00:21:14.250 --> 00:21:15.910
think needs to help out this year? Cheer for

00:21:15.910 --> 00:21:20.589
your cats, Otis. Yeah, we won. You're a Panthers

00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:22.069
fan now, aren't you? Who do you think needs some

00:21:22.069 --> 00:21:25.180
help in free agency, Otis? Oh, now you're fucking

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:27.299
quiet. Now he doesn't know. Now he's put on the

00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:31.420
spot. He doesn't know. Your ego needs to be knocked

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:34.940
out a couple pegs, huh? Who's yes? You want me

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:39.640
to talk? I haven't been proved wrong yet, so

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:43.700
thank you. Very much right, honestly. It's going

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:46.640
to be interesting. Once trades open up here,

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:49.660
I think that honestly might be a little crazier

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:51.839
to start than the deadline for the agency might

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:54.079
be. I think we're going to see a lot of big unexpected

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.480
trades to happen. I mean, we've already seen

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.859
a few trades go down. A couple of smaller ones

00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:03.339
I know. Andre Bercossi going over to Chicago

00:22:03.339 --> 00:22:06.079
is one of them. Mason Marshman going to Seattle.

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:10.200
Seattle. Was that part of that trade? No. Yeah,

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:13.160
it was that. Dallas and Seattle. I was going

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:15.119
to say that. Chicago, Seattle. One going to Seattle

00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.980
is Joe Frino. Eric Hall going to Nashville, I

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:23.380
believe, was the one I saw. Marshman, hold on,

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:24.980
it's the Marshman trade. Yeah, Eric Holla going

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:28.099
to Nashville. Yeah, so Nashville gets Eric Holla,

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:32.500
Jersey receives Jeremy Hanzel, and a fourth rounder

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:36.839
in 25. Hanzel is one of them. He's like a 29

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.500
-year -old guy. He's been pretty much spent his

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:41.440
whole career in the AHL and hasn't really shown

00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.299
many signs of making it up, so Nashville really

00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:47.200
did not give up that much to bring in Eric Holla,

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:50.630
who's, what, 34, 35 now? I mean, honestly, didn't

00:22:50.630 --> 00:22:52.210
give up that much for, you know, a 35 -year -old

00:22:52.210 --> 00:22:55.930
veteran to help out that forward core that really

00:22:55.930 --> 00:22:57.769
struggled this past year, which we really thought

00:22:57.769 --> 00:23:00.130
Nashville was going to be a team to watch. I

00:23:00.130 --> 00:23:01.430
mean, what were the three names they brought

00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:04.549
in? Stevenson, Marcheseau, and Stamkos, right?

00:23:05.410 --> 00:23:08.970
Big disappointment. That's definitely one of

00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:13.920
the biggest flops this year with Nashville. Just

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.579
watch. The one flop that I don't want to happen,

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:20.740
but I can kind of see it happening, is the Johnny

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:24.160
Tate signing in fucking Winnipeg. That's going

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:25.720
to be insane once that officially goes through.

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:29.319
I know it's one year, $2 million. Rumors are

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:34.099
one year between one and two mil. Nothing's been

00:23:34.099 --> 00:23:36.359
announced yet. I'm guessing upwards of $5 .5

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.720
to $6 million worth of bonuses, depending on

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.019
personal performance, overall Jets team performance.

00:23:43.659 --> 00:23:47.119
And depending on how postseason goes as well.

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:49.940
So, like, that could be big for someone like

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:54.579
your veteran experience in Jonathan Tays from,

00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:57.700
you know, one dynasty in that Chicago team in

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:59.500
the early 2010s. I think if he plays at least

00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:02.220
30 games, he gets, like, $550 ,000. And then

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:05.059
every 10 games that he plays up to 60, I think,

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:08.740
at least, then another $550 ,000. And then playoffs,

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:11.019
I think if they win the first round and he plays

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:13.559
at least 50 % of the games, it's another 550%.

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:15.400
Same for second round and all the way to the

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:17.400
finals. If he plays at least 50 % of all those

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.339
games, they make it all the way to the cup final,

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:21.500
and they win the cup final, I think he wins another

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.980
million. It's something along those lines. I

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:27.299
thought I had it here somewhere. But either way,

00:24:27.380 --> 00:24:31.759
once it's officially... Like, said and done.

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:36.400
You know, dots the I's, crosses the T's. I almost

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.200
said dots the T's and crosses the I's. Dots the

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.059
I's, crosses the T's. Pacers hometown team, which

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:45.759
would be nice. Maybe they'll get over the hump.

00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.559
Maybe Connor will actually, you know, do good

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.200
in the playoffs. All the playoffs. But, you know,

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:55.480
he's almost as big of a joker as Austin Matthews.

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:58.759
But prove me wrong! Connor? Austin Matthews.

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:02.039
No, Connor Hellebuck. Oh, okay. I thought you

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:03.339
were talking about McDavid. I'm like, we're talking

00:25:03.339 --> 00:25:05.920
about Winnipeg. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you

00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.680
heard Connor. It's just Hellebuck versus McDavid.

00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:11.220
I'm just used to hearing, like, Helle, you're

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:12.960
Hellebuck. I'm like, I'm not really used to hearing

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.839
just his first name. I thought you said Connor

00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:17.500
Hellebuck. I was like, Kyle Connor did really

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:20.359
well. No, he did. It's just goaltending half.

00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:25.119
That seems like it's a pretty big... Like, a

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.799
pretty consistent storyline this postseason is

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.519
your goaltending... Is your number one factor.

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:35.500
Okay, now you disagree again? How much playoffs

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:38.440
have you seriously watched? That's what I thought.

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:43.279
Yeah, exactly. Not as much as us. Like, obviously

00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.640
goaltending, you know, screwed Edmonton over.

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:51.779
Goaltending screwed Winnipeg over. That's going

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:53.519
to be a question if he's going to be the number

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:56.799
one when the Olympics come around. That's a story

00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.400
for January. Golden was inconsistent for Carolina

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.400
there in the third round. We had one good game

00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:05.160
from Anderson, but other than that. Oh, yeah.

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:07.160
In the first two rounds, he was pretty good.

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:08.900
I think he had one rough game in the second round,

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:10.640
but other than that, they went right through.

00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:12.259
Who did they play in the second round? Washington.

00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:16.009
Yeah, they lost game two. Which was pretty rough

00:26:16.009 --> 00:26:18.470
from Anderson. Yeah, but otherwise, it was like,

00:26:18.569 --> 00:26:21.150
you know, a little blemish on an otherwise perfect

00:26:21.150 --> 00:26:24.390
series for him. And again, they ran into the

00:26:24.390 --> 00:26:26.190
Florida Panthers. If they didn't run into Florida,

00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:29.490
who knows what could have happened there. That

00:26:29.490 --> 00:26:31.890
just shows how good the team Florida Panthers

00:26:31.890 --> 00:26:35.990
were. I mean, Skinner really did look pretty

00:26:35.990 --> 00:26:37.369
solid throughout the entirety of the playoffs

00:26:37.369 --> 00:26:39.630
until Florida came in. With the exception of

00:26:39.630 --> 00:26:42.430
games 1 and 2 versus LA. Yeah. Because then he

00:26:42.430 --> 00:26:45.729
really tanked. But after that, he was... Once

00:26:45.729 --> 00:26:49.250
he regained the net after the second round. Yeah.

00:26:49.430 --> 00:26:52.670
Because I think Picard finished the rest of the

00:26:52.670 --> 00:26:55.289
first round against LA. And then they were back

00:26:55.289 --> 00:26:57.750
and forth. Back and forth in the second round.

00:26:59.390 --> 00:27:01.569
Whew. Yeah, that's pretty much a thing about

00:27:01.569 --> 00:27:03.349
every team that ran into, every goalie that ran

00:27:03.349 --> 00:27:07.170
into Florida. Just did not do well. Vasilevsky

00:27:07.170 --> 00:27:08.769
might have been some of the worst hockey we've

00:27:08.769 --> 00:27:12.150
seen him play. Who did he play? Florida. Toronto.

00:27:13.130 --> 00:27:15.009
I mean, it's Toronto, but who did they play?

00:27:16.009 --> 00:27:18.670
That's a very low bar for Toronto goaltending,

00:27:18.829 --> 00:27:20.990
I hope you know. Very low. The Stars looked very,

00:27:21.049 --> 00:27:23.630
very solid in the first round. They took care

00:27:23.630 --> 00:27:25.690
of Ottawa pretty easily. I think they lost one

00:27:25.690 --> 00:27:28.569
game. No, two, because they went to six. Did

00:27:28.569 --> 00:27:30.970
Toronto go to six? I thought they went to six.

00:27:31.190 --> 00:27:33.809
They might have, okay. Hold on. Let me double

00:27:33.809 --> 00:27:36.650
check that. But he looked pretty solid in that

00:27:36.650 --> 00:27:39.109
series. And then second round, he looked pretty

00:27:39.109 --> 00:27:41.460
solid those first two games, and then... Toronto

00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:44.259
decided to pull Toronto. I think they lost the

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:46.319
next three, and then Toronto forced seven with

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:49.460
a game six win. I think Stoller's still pretty

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:54.279
damn good in game seven. Yeah, they lost in six.

00:27:54.539 --> 00:28:00.220
Okay. Toronto's defense just stopped showing

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:01.839
up there in game seven. I remember I think they

00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:02.940
scored, what was it, three goals in a matter

00:28:02.940 --> 00:28:04.259
of like four minutes or something like that.

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:09.500
And just all downhill from there. Yeah, Toronto

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:13.900
got outscored 12 -4 in the final three games.

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:18.279
Two of which being in fucking Toronto. Out of

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:23.339
places. We're kind of doing like a seasonally

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:25.079
review here. What were some other teams that

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.400
did not live up to what you thought they were

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:28.559
going to be this year? Like some disappointing.

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:31.799
I know as we kind of briefly mentioned, Nashville

00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:34.680
was big. The other one was Boston for me. Boston

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:39.200
was bad. They just collapsed. They just collapsed,

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:41.259
like, what, February, March, and they're like,

00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:43.579
time to sell, and they got rid of, what was it,

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.920
Carlo, Marchand, I think it was one other guy

00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.599
they got rid of. Was it Trent, not Trent, February.

00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:51.440
Coyle. Charlie Coyle, that was the other one,

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:54.319
yeah. And then the injury to McAvoy during formations

00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.539
definitely didn't help their cause. Makes me

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:58.720
think, I know they're not talking about possibly

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:03.460
shopping Swayman now, like, just talk about just

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:06.839
that downfall, man. Like, just... That one was

00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:08.680
more just out of nowhere. Like, Nashville, I

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.960
think, from the beginning of the year, they just

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.799
did not have it. No. But Austin started off decent

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:16.140
and just fell off, man. Just horrible. I mean,

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:20.079
Nashville, you know, started like crap. And they

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:22.859
did kind of level out a little bit after, like,

00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.420
the holiday break that turned the calendar year.

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:31.210
But, like, they just weren't Nashville. Even

00:29:31.210 --> 00:29:34.349
their veterans, the people that have been on

00:29:34.349 --> 00:29:37.430
the team for a couple years now, weren't themselves.

00:29:39.170 --> 00:29:44.049
Take away O 'Reilly and Stammer and Marcheseau

00:29:44.049 --> 00:29:48.089
or whatever. They just weren't Nashville. One

00:29:48.089 --> 00:29:50.349
team that did surprise me, though, and I'm really

00:29:50.349 --> 00:29:53.950
happy for. is the Columbus Blue Jackets. Yeah,

00:29:53.990 --> 00:29:56.130
I mean, they did what? A couple points out of

00:29:56.130 --> 00:29:58.549
the playoffs? It came down to the second to last

00:29:58.549 --> 00:30:00.369
day or third to last day. The last couple days,

00:30:00.470 --> 00:30:03.630
regardless. But, like, they did exceptionally

00:30:03.630 --> 00:30:07.329
well for the amount of stuff they were put through

00:30:07.329 --> 00:30:09.210
at the beginning of the season, even before camp

00:30:09.210 --> 00:30:11.690
started. You know, all the way back to, you know,

00:30:11.690 --> 00:30:14.529
the loss of Jonathan Goudreau, you know, and

00:30:14.529 --> 00:30:16.009
then be like, okay, you get an exception. We

00:30:16.009 --> 00:30:18.869
know you're going to well below the base strength,

00:30:18.869 --> 00:30:24.140
the salary minimum. Your excuse. They were just

00:30:24.140 --> 00:30:27.779
playing a lot. A lot together. You could tell

00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:29.940
just watching that team. Each and every game

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:31.859
they were playing for something. Obviously you

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:33.819
know what it was. But you could tell they were

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:36.019
playing for something. And they were fighting

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:39.720
tooth and nail. Even their very last game. They

00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.819
were there. They were competing. We know we're

00:30:42.819 --> 00:30:45.299
not competing for a playoff spot. could be for

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:48.740
ourselves, our fan base, and the city. I think

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:50.500
American hockey as a whole was playing. I think

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:52.279
the World Juniors, they had a jersey out for

00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:54.519
them. Four Nations, they had the jersey out and

00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:58.440
had a stall for them. The whole, just, USA hockey

00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.099
as a whole was playing for Johnny Pedro. I'll

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:04.720
say the Columbus Blue Jackets even more so. Other

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.200
two teams that came to mind that surprised me

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.039
were the other two right in the bubble there

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.480
battling with Columbus being Montreal and Ottawa.

00:31:12.990 --> 00:31:16.210
Yeah. Watch how, like, finally it's shown, like,

00:31:16.230 --> 00:31:19.190
they're starting to get competitive. Those younger

00:31:19.190 --> 00:31:21.210
guys are starting to come in clutch. You know,

00:31:21.250 --> 00:31:22.910
obviously, Lane Hudson being in addition was

00:31:22.910 --> 00:31:26.210
being a major help for them. And this is only

00:31:26.210 --> 00:31:27.410
the beginning. I think he was the Calder winner,

00:31:27.529 --> 00:31:30.910
wasn't he, Lane Hudson? I think he had won the

00:31:30.910 --> 00:31:33.049
Calder, didn't he? He did. Yeah, okay, he had

00:31:33.049 --> 00:31:34.769
won the Calder. That's why I thought it. Obviously,

00:31:34.829 --> 00:31:37.190
the younger guy, Cole Caulfield, had an outstanding

00:31:37.190 --> 00:31:40.619
year. We're at number 13 honoring Johnny. And,

00:31:40.619 --> 00:31:44.339
like, it just shows that, like, Montreal's in

00:31:44.339 --> 00:31:47.200
this for the long haul. Like, if they keep playing

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.299
the way that they're playing, keep building the

00:31:49.299 --> 00:31:51.039
way that they're building, keep performing the

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.200
way they want to perform, Martin St. Louis and

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:57.779
that Montreal team, man, they're going to be

00:31:57.779 --> 00:32:02.420
a force to reckon with here. The fact that, sure,

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:05.980
they made the playoffs again, like, just this

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:10.369
past year, sure, they got cut. pretty much got

00:32:10.369 --> 00:32:12.950
screwed around by Washington, but that was just

00:32:12.950 --> 00:32:16.589
because with Washington getting into the young

00:32:16.589 --> 00:32:19.549
Canadians, like, they were just getting underneath

00:32:19.549 --> 00:32:21.230
the capsules and getting underneath their skin,

00:32:21.309 --> 00:32:23.609
but you could just tell that they're finally...

00:32:23.609 --> 00:32:28.710
Wow. I'm sorry. I'm just laughing at the fucking

00:32:28.710 --> 00:32:31.349
Tom Wilson picture that was photographed for

00:32:31.349 --> 00:32:33.769
a couple weeks there. Oh, my God. I still love

00:32:33.769 --> 00:32:36.950
it. One of the teams going out west, the only

00:32:36.950 --> 00:32:39.089
west team that I think that surprised me that

00:32:39.089 --> 00:32:40.900
they did, as well as they did with St. Louis.

00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.420
St. Louis did very, very well. I mean, obviously,

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:46.519
that first round exit, but you brought the President's

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:49.900
Trophy champions to seven games, a double overtime.

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:51.759
In game seven. In seven games, I mean, yeah,

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:53.259
you blew a two -goal lead with a minute and a

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:55.660
half left. But, I mean, again, you brought the

00:32:55.660 --> 00:32:57.539
President Trophy winners to seven games. Like,

00:32:57.539 --> 00:33:00.579
I didn't expect St. Louis to be able to push

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:03.079
seven. Which I think they would be the last team

00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:06.319
to make it in, I believe. So, if you make it

00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:08.099
in, like, last day, you win your last game, then

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:10.130
squeeze into the playoffs. You're like, fuck,

00:33:10.170 --> 00:33:11.349
now we've got to play the President of the Strophy

00:33:11.349 --> 00:33:12.529
Champions. What did we just do to ourselves?

00:33:13.109 --> 00:33:15.990
But you're still pushing the seven games. Oh,

00:33:15.990 --> 00:33:17.569
that game seven between those two might have

00:33:17.569 --> 00:33:19.250
been the best game of the playoffs, man. Initially,

00:33:19.250 --> 00:33:21.990
I wasn't that excited. That was probably one

00:33:21.990 --> 00:33:24.390
of the few series I wasn't that excited for,

00:33:24.410 --> 00:33:26.009
but it ended up... Turned out to be one of the

00:33:26.009 --> 00:33:28.609
better ones. Jordan Bennington definitely had

00:33:28.609 --> 00:33:32.150
a resurgence, if you can say that, from his rookie

00:33:32.150 --> 00:33:35.609
season. Ever since Four Nations was definitely

00:33:35.609 --> 00:33:38.490
that huge kick in the ass that I... confidence

00:33:38.490 --> 00:33:43.009
booster that he really needed. Like, yo, I think

00:33:43.009 --> 00:33:47.450
I'm good now. He played extremely, extremely

00:33:47.450 --> 00:33:50.269
well. He's part of the reason that they made

00:33:50.269 --> 00:33:53.710
it that far. I think, honestly, that's where

00:33:53.710 --> 00:33:57.289
the turning point was for St. Louis. That's where

00:33:57.289 --> 00:33:59.049
the turning point for Jordan Binnington was.

00:33:59.930 --> 00:34:02.829
Because right before that, they were just...

00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:05.079
Yeah, mid lane. And the first thing that comes

00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.079
to mind are those two saves he made in the overtime

00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.059
in the Four Nations final. Yeah. Back -to -back

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:13.760
shots. I think one was from Eichel in the next

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.760
one. I think it was a slapper from the blue line,

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:17.019
so I don't remember who it would have been, but

00:34:17.019 --> 00:34:20.860
maybe like Adam Fox or something. But just back

00:34:20.860 --> 00:34:23.480
-to -back saves, covered it, blew the whistle,

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:25.280
off the faceoff, took a slapper, made another

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.920
sprawling glove save. I don't know, I think it

00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:30.559
was like, what, three minutes later is when McDavid

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.570
scored the winner. Yeah, St. Louis is definitely

00:34:35.570 --> 00:34:37.949
the other one for me. I think it's going to future

00:34:37.949 --> 00:34:40.750
me break for them next season for sure. If they

00:34:40.750 --> 00:34:43.210
can play as well as they did the second half

00:34:43.210 --> 00:34:46.230
of last season all year, they have a chance to

00:34:46.230 --> 00:34:48.929
maybe take that division, honestly. It's going

00:34:48.929 --> 00:34:50.349
to be tough with teams like Dallas in there.

00:34:50.889 --> 00:34:53.530
You've got Dallas, Colorado, Winnipeg, all that

00:34:53.530 --> 00:34:57.230
you've got to run through. I mean, that's also

00:34:57.230 --> 00:34:59.630
a tough division. I mean, obviously not as tough

00:34:59.630 --> 00:35:02.530
as the Atlantic, but that's – well, no, the Atlantic

00:35:02.530 --> 00:35:06.849
is starting to get weaker now. I would honestly

00:35:06.849 --> 00:35:08.610
say the Central might be up there for one of

00:35:08.610 --> 00:35:11.469
the Metro now. Yeah, it's just... I don't know.

00:35:11.550 --> 00:35:13.730
You can make that argument, which one's stronger,

00:35:13.909 --> 00:35:17.409
Central or Atlantic. Because it was there for

00:35:17.409 --> 00:35:20.349
the longest time, it was the Metro. The Atlantic,

00:35:20.409 --> 00:35:24.449
the last few years, kind of took that away, and

00:35:24.449 --> 00:35:26.570
then now, obviously, as we mentioned, the Central's

00:35:26.570 --> 00:35:31.190
kind of been, I think, the most competitive.

00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:37.260
Sorry, the cat's on one right now. Am I going

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:39.199
to have to hang that jersey a little bit higher?

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:41.440
I might have to hang three jerseys up a little

00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:43.260
bit higher if he's going to be in here. Actually,

00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:44.900
no, they're probably just souls, Joe. Do you

00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:47.019
guys happen to have your season predictions from

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:49.440
the beginning of your stills saved? Oh, holy

00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:54.199
crap. I want to put these up and see just about

00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.579
how off we were. The only divisional line that

00:35:58.579 --> 00:36:04.309
was decent -ish was the central. Other than that,

00:36:04.349 --> 00:36:08.269
I guess my Pacific was decent. Actually, my Pacific

00:36:08.269 --> 00:36:11.409
was really pretty good, actually. I actually

00:36:11.409 --> 00:36:23.130
still have it. You still have yours? Yep. I'm

00:36:23.130 --> 00:36:27.030
guessing, like we always did, the West and then

00:36:27.030 --> 00:36:30.730
go over to the Atlantic. Who did you have Pacific

00:36:30.730 --> 00:36:34.130
in order from 1 -8? I had the Sharks in Glass,

00:36:34.550 --> 00:36:38.590
the Ducks 7th, the Flames 6th, the Kraken 5th,

00:36:38.789 --> 00:36:43.510
the Kings 4th, the Canucks 3rd, Vegas in 2nd,

00:36:43.510 --> 00:36:45.630
and then the Oilers in 1st. You and I were the

00:36:45.630 --> 00:36:47.329
exact same, but I had Edmonton Vegas switch.

00:36:47.849 --> 00:36:51.389
I don't know. I might not have it. You don't

00:36:51.389 --> 00:36:58.369
have yours? If not, that's fine. We'll go back

00:36:58.369 --> 00:37:04.659
and look at actual. The Pacific was actually

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:10.320
from 8 -1 with San Jose, Kraken, Anaheim, Vancouver,

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:14.800
Calgary, Edmonton, LA, Vegas. So, I mean, my

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:16.639
top four were pretty good, and then bottom four

00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:18.280
were pretty good, just a little bit swapped around.

00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:22.639
Central, who did you have from 8 -1? I had Chicago,

00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.579
the Blues in seventh, Wilds sixth, Utah fifth,

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:32.659
the Predators fourth, the Jets third. They asked

00:37:32.659 --> 00:37:34.840
second and the Stars first. That one, you and

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.840
I were exactly the same. So, yeah, it just showed,

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:40.760
man, how much little faith we had in St. Louis.

00:37:40.860 --> 00:37:43.000
And they were, what, ended up fourth, I think?

00:37:43.099 --> 00:37:45.079
Fifth. Yeah, that's right. Five teams from the

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:48.340
Central Mates this year. The real was Chicago,

00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:52.400
Nashville, Utah, St. Louis, Minnesota, Colorado,

00:37:52.619 --> 00:37:56.340
Dallas, Winnipeg. So, again, top four, bottom

00:37:56.340 --> 00:37:58.139
four were getting pretty close, but just a little

00:37:58.139 --> 00:38:00.199
bit rearranged besides St. Louis being in seventh.

00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:05.579
The Atlantic, what did you have? I had the Canadiens

00:38:05.579 --> 00:38:08.599
in eighth, the Senators seventh, the Sabres sixth,

00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:11.519
the Rangers fifth, the Lightning fourth, the

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:14.400
Leafs third, the Bruins second, and the Panthers

00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:19.139
one. I had Buffalo, Montreal, Ottawa, Tampa Bay,

00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:23.440
Toronto, Detroit, Boston, Florida. I had too

00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:25.559
much faith in Florida this year, man. I'm honest.

00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:28.059
They were only five points out of the playoffs

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:31.800
this year. I'm honest. Even though I had... Montreal

00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:35.099
8th. I'm kind of glad they proved me. Again,

00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:36.920
that's another one. They proved us wrong. I had

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:41.420
them 7th. The real was Boston, Buffalo, Detroit,

00:38:41.780 --> 00:38:46.059
Montreal, Ottawa, Florida, Tampa, Toronto. Which

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:50.360
is crazy to think Boston of all teams got to

00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.300
be at the bottom there. And then Metro, who did

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:57.460
we have? Metro, I had Columbus on the 8th, DeCaps

00:38:57.460 --> 00:38:59.960
on the 7th. I don't know what else to think of

00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:02.619
DeCaps. Because we were going to make stuff up

00:39:02.619 --> 00:39:06.559
last. Yeah. We're not very good. The Penguins

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.460
sixth, the Islanders fifth, the Flyers fourth,

00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:12.659
the Devils third, the Hurricanes second, and

00:39:12.659 --> 00:39:16.179
the Rangers won. Yeah. That's another one because

00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:17.960
it was a disappointing team was the Rangers.

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:20.659
Oh, yeah. I'm happy they played like shit. I'm

00:39:20.659 --> 00:39:23.239
glad they did. But they were just a disappointing

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:27.519
team. I had Columbus, Philly, New Jersey, Pittsburgh.

00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:30.860
Washington. So I guess I had a little more faith

00:39:30.860 --> 00:39:34.000
in Washington. Islanders, Rangers, Hurricanes.

00:39:35.340 --> 00:39:38.280
Which, again, top four, bottom four weren't horrible,

00:39:38.460 --> 00:39:41.099
but except me having the Rangers up in second.

00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.159
Yeah, the real was... We said the real? No, we

00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.800
didn't. Philly, Pittsburgh, Islanders, Rangers,

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:54.460
Blue Jackets, Devils, Hurricanes, Capitals. Which,

00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:56.880
I mean, the Hurricanes were only... Sorry, the

00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.110
Columbus was only what? at one game out of the

00:39:59.110 --> 00:40:02.389
playoffs yeah they came down that final day they

00:40:02.389 --> 00:40:03.949
would have won one more game and they would have

00:40:03.949 --> 00:40:07.829
had 91 points and might have seen some sort of

00:40:07.829 --> 00:40:11.809
tiebreaker there yeah man crazy crazy season

00:40:11.809 --> 00:40:15.289
it feels like a hockey every year just gets crazier

00:40:15.289 --> 00:40:19.050
and crazier every single year it gets more and

00:40:19.050 --> 00:40:22.449
more exciting every single year so much fun it's

00:40:22.449 --> 00:40:25.550
one that i always look why i love like how it's

00:40:25.550 --> 00:40:28.719
why it's getting longer it's just Like, he gets

00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.820
through almost the entire year. It's the best

00:40:31.820 --> 00:40:35.039
sport. It really is. There's no argument for

00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:39.380
it. You can't change my mind. Nothing will. I

00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:41.739
tell you, that's going to be hard to beat on

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:44.920
all six. Like, that's not going to change my

00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.840
mind. Like, Clocky is by far the best. Colin,

00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.340
finally, let's do your blind ranking here. About

00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:54.960
fucking time. Jesus Christ. I've been waiting

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:58.909
over here for, like, 30 minutes now. All right.

00:41:00.289 --> 00:41:03.489
It's not really blind rankings because we're

00:41:03.489 --> 00:41:09.750
ranking the last 10 Stanley Cup champions. So

00:41:09.750 --> 00:41:13.289
we're going to go back in time. We're going to

00:41:13.289 --> 00:41:17.730
go the 25 Panthers team. All right. And they're

00:41:17.730 --> 00:41:22.829
up there. We kind of already touched up on it.

00:41:22.829 --> 00:41:26.789
They were one of the best. One of the best dynasties.

00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.739
I mean, honestly, do you mind? We were just talking

00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:33.380
about the Dynasties, but you still got... You

00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:37.679
got the 23 Avalanche in there. You got the 22

00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.539
Avalanche. You got the 22 Avalanche in there.

00:41:40.820 --> 00:41:44.719
You got the 18 Capitals in there. 19 Blues. 19

00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:46.320
Blues. I mean, they were more than wild. There

00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:47.559
were a lot of cartoons that year, by the way.

00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:51.599
But still, I mean... Then you got the... Obviously,

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:54.239
the Kings is 12 and 15. Well, this would only

00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:57.409
go back to 15. Oh, 15. The Penguins or the Blackhawks?

00:41:57.969 --> 00:42:04.070
16. Penguins? Okay. Yeah. So, first of the two

00:42:04.070 --> 00:42:09.909
packed back. So, 25 Panthers, I'll put... I'd

00:42:09.909 --> 00:42:12.969
say they're... They're definitely top two, I

00:42:12.969 --> 00:42:16.130
would say. I'd say at least top two, top three,

00:42:16.130 --> 00:42:19.250
of course. I'd say probably three. Stop freaking

00:42:19.250 --> 00:42:21.369
throwing the curtain, dummy. I'd say probably

00:42:21.369 --> 00:42:27.000
three. Three? Yeah. I'll top throw them. There

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:35.079
it is. Alright, obviously then the 24 Panthers.

00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:37.440
The 4 Panthers again. That's another one. They

00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.920
were just as good. I think this team was way

00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:43.559
better though. I think the 25 team was much better.

00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:51.980
Yeah. I'd probably put this one maybe down 6

00:42:51.980 --> 00:42:58.880
or 7. What do you think we have? I'd say seven.

00:42:59.219 --> 00:43:09.519
Seven? Okay. All right, then we got the 23 injured

00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.800
reserve. That's a really good team, though, man.

00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.400
That's a really good team, too. Again, because

00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:18.099
of that, I mean, they kind of cheated, like,

00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:22.309
legally cheating this system. which is a very

00:43:22.309 --> 00:43:24.309
cheap way to do it, but they kind of found a

00:43:24.309 --> 00:43:26.510
loophole and ran with it, and it worked. They

00:43:26.510 --> 00:43:28.630
made it work, and they kind of... I mean, it

00:43:28.630 --> 00:43:30.289
doesn't take away from the fact that they were

00:43:30.289 --> 00:43:33.110
a really good team, though. But were they better

00:43:33.110 --> 00:43:35.789
than those 25 Panthers, or maybe, instead of

00:43:35.789 --> 00:43:39.070
the 23 Avalanche, the 17 Penguins, the 18 Capitals?

00:43:40.730 --> 00:43:51.179
I'd say put them at 5. Wait, did we say seven

00:43:51.179 --> 00:43:53.639
for 24 Panthers? Yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah, so that's

00:43:53.639 --> 00:44:13.400
it. Wait a second. All right, the 22 Avalanche.

00:44:13.559 --> 00:44:15.340
Yeah, that's one of them that's either one or

00:44:15.340 --> 00:44:21.000
two. Were they the best? They might have been,

00:44:21.059 --> 00:44:24.699
man. They were a good team. They took the back

00:44:24.699 --> 00:44:26.320
-to -back Stanley Cup champions and beat them

00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.280
in what? Was it five? Or was it six? It was in

00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.019
six. Still, man, you take down the back -to -back

00:44:33.019 --> 00:44:39.800
winners with not much difficulty. They might

00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:45.559
be the best, though. Yeah, it was in six games.

00:44:45.739 --> 00:44:50.320
Six. I don't think they did it in Tampa. Yep.

00:44:50.940 --> 00:44:53.940
I would think that for a second. Are they the

00:44:53.940 --> 00:44:59.480
best? I'd say they might be. I'd say no worse

00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:02.960
than four, but I would definitely say at least

00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.039
top two for sure. Alright, then he got the two

00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.960
back -to -backs, the 2020 and 2021 Lightning.

00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:13.360
The 2021 Lightning were definitely way better

00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:17.760
than the 2020. The 2020, I think, is 10. Just

00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:21.960
based off of, I mean, it counts, but for what

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:24.199
measures? I mean, that could have been anybody's

00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:26.320
year. They just kind of have to be the ones that

00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:32.960
got lucky and took it all. 21. Did we put them

00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.260
at six or did we put them at eight? That's where

00:45:35.260 --> 00:45:38.119
I was going back and forth on six. We still got

00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:39.739
the two Penguins team. I think they were better

00:45:39.739 --> 00:45:44.000
than the 16 Penguins. I think the 17 Penguins

00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:48.829
might be the number two spot. Are you really

00:45:48.829 --> 00:45:52.610
putting the 18 caps below that? I think yeah,

00:45:52.610 --> 00:45:58.070
I think they'd be a good four spot. But, oh man.

00:45:59.269 --> 00:46:03.130
Cause I'm trying to think who it is. Or miss.

00:46:04.010 --> 00:46:15.250
So Blues, Caps, Penguins. Man, this is tougher

00:46:15.250 --> 00:46:21.739
than I thought. So the 21 bullets, I think put

00:46:21.739 --> 00:46:31.079
them at 8? Yeah. Then obviously you got the 19

00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:36.159
blues. I'd put those probably at about... That'd

00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:47.719
be the 6? I'd be 26 and 9. Let's see, how many

00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:49.940
more of the... 16 Penguins is that bad to be

00:46:49.940 --> 00:46:54.679
9? That's why I said I'm trying to... Because

00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:57.900
obviously... That team as a whole, I mean, that's

00:46:57.900 --> 00:46:59.539
one, they didn't really start picking it up until

00:46:59.539 --> 00:47:06.460
the second half of the season. That's why I'm

00:47:06.460 --> 00:47:09.079
bad before doing one put. We're going to get

00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:10.900
called biased for putting Penguins in the top

00:47:10.900 --> 00:47:22.039
two, but... I'd say put the Blues 6, and then

00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:31.800
the Penguins is 6. So the 18 caps would be 4

00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:37.300
then? Yeah. And the 17 pens too? I think that's

00:47:37.300 --> 00:47:40.840
pretty fair. And yeah, there was no beating for

00:47:40.840 --> 00:47:45.969
18 caps. Oh, sorry. There was no beating that

00:47:45.969 --> 00:47:48.570
17 -pence team. I mean, we were just unstoppable

00:47:48.570 --> 00:47:52.090
out here. Malkin played some of the best hockey

00:47:52.090 --> 00:47:54.889
he'd ever played. Rookie Gensel playing, you

00:47:54.889 --> 00:47:57.409
know, like a young guy. He's still playing just

00:47:57.409 --> 00:48:01.829
as good, but Gensel was on fire. Crosby did really

00:48:01.829 --> 00:48:04.750
well the first three rounds. We love Crosby,

00:48:04.849 --> 00:48:08.210
but he never shuts up in the finals. You can't

00:48:08.210 --> 00:48:12.599
say he does. I mean, goaltending tandem. prime

00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.019
Matt Murray and obviously prime Marc -Andre Fleury.

00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.119
Well, obviously Fleury didn't really get the

00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:21.159
chance to play in the 16 Cup run, but he was

00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.199
the reason why they made it. He played the first

00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:25.880
two rounds and then the first couple games of

00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:28.300
the third round. He started to struggle and then

00:48:28.300 --> 00:48:29.900
Murray came in and carried him the rest of the

00:48:29.900 --> 00:48:32.679
way. He played well in games one and two at home

00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:35.139
and games three in Ottawa, but then game four,

00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:38.500
Murray stepped in. And then Murray just took

00:48:38.500 --> 00:48:42.760
over from there. Obviously, the Penguins wouldn't

00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:44.940
be there. I mean, granted, they were down, you

00:48:44.940 --> 00:48:47.260
know, 2 -1 in the series against Ottawa in 17.

00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:51.760
But, you wouldn't be down 2 -1 in the series

00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.119
against Ottawa in the third conference finals

00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:58.619
without a Mark Roderick Fleury. Yeah. That angle,

00:48:58.619 --> 00:49:01.139
that goal -tending tandem alone, I think, took

00:49:01.139 --> 00:49:03.599
the Penguins in second. Oh, yeah. It was one

00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:05.239
of those, like, Fleury went down, you're like,

00:49:05.340 --> 00:49:07.380
ah, we don't have much to worry, we have Murray,

00:49:07.579 --> 00:49:17.320
you know. Not many teams, not many teams, well,

00:49:17.420 --> 00:49:20.440
not just good, but any team, period, can say,

00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:24.639
oh, you have a 1A, 1B goaltender. You can play

00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:27.079
anyone, any given night. You know you have a

00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.119
solid goaltender. Just like back in the day when

00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:31.340
you had Prime Crosby, Brian Malkin, you were

00:49:31.340 --> 00:49:34.730
a 1A, 1B centerman. Oh, no. You know, one of

00:49:34.730 --> 00:49:36.969
us matched up against, you know, their top defensive

00:49:36.969 --> 00:49:39.190
pair, and that's it? Like, the other team only

00:49:39.190 --> 00:49:41.989
has one good defensive pair? Your other center

00:49:41.989 --> 00:49:43.570
might just take it up and be like, okay, I am

00:49:43.570 --> 00:49:46.610
your leader now, Damon. I will lead the way.

00:49:46.630 --> 00:49:49.349
You scared the shit out of me. Come here, Bubba.

00:49:49.530 --> 00:49:51.349
I mean, Marc -Andre Fleury, I mean, from the

00:49:51.349 --> 00:49:53.730
time I was 12, 13, 14 years old, I was defending

00:49:53.730 --> 00:49:55.809
him just constantly. You know, my dad was one

00:49:55.809 --> 00:49:57.309
of those, you know, when Fleury had that kind

00:49:57.309 --> 00:49:59.590
of rough strife where he wasn't... The best from,

00:49:59.650 --> 00:50:03.389
what, like, 2011 to 2014? Yeah, yeah. He wasn't

00:50:03.389 --> 00:50:05.010
his best. He definitely wasn't as good as he

00:50:05.010 --> 00:50:08.269
was in his early days, and then, you know, 15

00:50:08.269 --> 00:50:11.309
to 20, you know. The dark ages, as I like to

00:50:11.309 --> 00:50:13.250
call them. You got the injury years between Crosby

00:50:13.250 --> 00:50:16.130
and Malkin. You got the routine cast of characters,

00:50:16.230 --> 00:50:19.230
the bottom six, you know. You were kind of in

00:50:19.230 --> 00:50:21.769
between the two identities of, you got the prime

00:50:21.769 --> 00:50:24.730
Bilesma days, and then you got the prime Sullivan

00:50:24.730 --> 00:50:28.429
days. Those two through. When I was that age,

00:50:28.449 --> 00:50:30.349
my dad was one of those big, oh, Fleury sucks

00:50:30.349 --> 00:50:31.789
now, he sucks now, we've got to get rid of him,

00:50:31.969 --> 00:50:33.570
his time's down, it's time to get rid of him.

00:50:33.610 --> 00:50:37.210
I was like, we suck, our team sucks. Give him

00:50:37.210 --> 00:50:38.869
time, he's going to come back around. He's the

00:50:38.869 --> 00:50:40.929
best goalie we've ever seen in our franchise,

00:50:41.150 --> 00:50:46.010
for a reason. Since Tom Brasso. Three years later,

00:50:46.230 --> 00:50:48.900
he goes back to back. I mean, for reasons. I

00:50:48.900 --> 00:50:51.719
mean, and almost went three in a row with a different

00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:53.820
team for the third year. But, you know, fell

00:50:53.820 --> 00:50:56.519
short, too. You know, that fourth at 18 caps,

00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:59.599
you know. Should have been a part of that 23

00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:03.519
Knights team, but that's how it happened. You

00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:06.440
know, they decided to say, fuck you. Let's not

00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:09.179
talk about that right now, okay? I'm still a

00:51:09.179 --> 00:51:11.980
little bit salty for good reasons. That's how

00:51:11.980 --> 00:51:15.429
they treated him, yeah. Hey, we know you're the

00:51:15.429 --> 00:51:17.909
face of the franchise for a couple years. Minnesota

00:51:17.909 --> 00:51:20.489
made up for them. Minnesota treated him very,

00:51:20.550 --> 00:51:23.250
very well. You can't really say that they treated

00:51:23.250 --> 00:51:26.030
him well or not. He was there long enough. You're

00:51:26.030 --> 00:51:27.590
like, hey, you're a great locker room presence.

00:51:27.789 --> 00:51:29.909
Hey, you can be a great leader, but we're not

00:51:29.909 --> 00:51:33.010
going to use you for that long. Minnesota was

00:51:33.010 --> 00:51:35.489
like, come here, we will treat you like king.

00:51:36.110 --> 00:51:40.530
They did. His whole farewell tour this season

00:51:40.530 --> 00:51:45.340
was just... So emotional. It's tough to say,

00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:49.699
man. I don't know hockey without Marc -Andre

00:51:49.699 --> 00:51:52.139
Fleury playing. No matter what team he plays

00:51:52.139 --> 00:51:54.619
for, I don't remember hockey without Marc -Andre

00:51:54.619 --> 00:51:58.539
Fleury being on the bench or on the ice. Because

00:51:58.539 --> 00:52:03.960
as of recording Sunday, June 22nd, the Penguins

00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:08.519
did a rewind on the 21st. They did a rewind that...

00:52:09.230 --> 00:52:13.269
Like back 22 years ago, yet on the 21st, it was

00:52:13.269 --> 00:52:15.690
when they officially drafted Marc -Andre Fleury.

00:52:15.889 --> 00:52:17.909
I would have been three years old when he was

00:52:17.909 --> 00:52:21.130
drafted by the time he started seeing real good

00:52:21.130 --> 00:52:22.889
ice time. It would have been, what, 2005, 2006

00:52:22.889 --> 00:52:27.829
when Crosby came in? Keep in mind, nine more

00:52:27.829 --> 00:52:31.969
days, you will be under NHL contracts. Nine more

00:52:31.969 --> 00:52:37.679
days, you'd be considered a professional. Sign

00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:40.920
with the Pittsburgh Penguins. One day, officially

00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:45.599
retire as a Pittsburgh Penguin. Join our front

00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:47.800
office. Be an assistant goaltenders coach. I

00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:49.960
know I think we signed one, but I don't care.

00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:55.820
Be an assistant goalies coach. Just be that locker

00:52:55.820 --> 00:52:59.610
room presence. Every locker room needs one. I

00:52:59.610 --> 00:53:01.869
don't care who the frick it is. Like, who it

00:53:01.869 --> 00:53:04.949
is and he has a locker room. Be the Zamboni driver

00:53:04.949 --> 00:53:07.570
and maybe you can come in and be the emergency

00:53:07.570 --> 00:53:12.389
goaltender at some point. No, just watch. It's

00:53:12.389 --> 00:53:16.329
going to be a game against Philadelphia and Pittsburgh

00:53:16.329 --> 00:53:18.369
and he's going to have to suit up in that fucking

00:53:18.369 --> 00:53:21.409
ugly ass orange and black. Go be the Zamboni

00:53:21.409 --> 00:53:23.769
driver for the Wilkes -Barre Scranton Penguins.

00:53:28.340 --> 00:53:31.900
He could be the 42 -year -old Zamboni driver.

00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:36.480
Number 29. They already have a jersey for him.

00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:37.880
They wouldn't even need to make another jersey.

00:53:39.659 --> 00:53:44.659
Again. If Kyle Dubas is smart, he would do this.

00:53:45.500 --> 00:53:49.280
He would do it. I hope he fucking hears me down

00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:53.019
in Pittsburgh, wherever he lives. He would do

00:53:53.019 --> 00:53:56.960
this. For the goodness of Pittsburgh's soul.

00:53:57.710 --> 00:54:03.269
For every sports franchise in Pittsburgh, as

00:54:03.269 --> 00:54:07.130
good or as shit as they are. If that happens,

00:54:07.210 --> 00:54:09.210
I honestly don't fucking care what happens to

00:54:09.210 --> 00:54:11.409
the Penguins next season. I honestly don't know

00:54:11.409 --> 00:54:13.090
if I would care. I'd be like, I'm happy he...

00:54:13.090 --> 00:54:17.489
If he were to officially say, hey, I'm retiring

00:54:17.489 --> 00:54:22.829
as a Pittsburgh Penguin, just full circle, I

00:54:22.829 --> 00:54:25.869
can die happy. I could die that day and I'd be

00:54:25.869 --> 00:54:32.969
happy. Yeah, the whole season, just for the last

00:54:32.969 --> 00:54:34.349
game in Pittsburgh, they did something for him.

00:54:34.349 --> 00:54:35.889
I think his last game in Vegas, they did something

00:54:35.889 --> 00:54:37.829
for him. His last game in Montreal, they did

00:54:37.829 --> 00:54:40.849
something for him. His last regular season game

00:54:40.849 --> 00:54:42.789
for the Wild, they did something. I think he

00:54:42.789 --> 00:54:45.110
came in for overtime and ended up winning the

00:54:45.110 --> 00:54:48.550
game for him. Yeah. And then his last game of

00:54:48.550 --> 00:54:50.929
the playoff run, too. I think that when they

00:54:50.929 --> 00:54:55.429
lost to Vegas, I think, wasn't it? They did something

00:54:55.429 --> 00:54:58.190
for him there, too, man. His last game against

00:54:58.190 --> 00:55:00.150
Washington. Yeah, I was going to say. From the

00:55:00.150 --> 00:55:03.010
bench. No, get your asses back out here. I don't

00:55:03.010 --> 00:55:05.489
care if I have to drag you back out by your manhood.

00:55:05.750 --> 00:55:07.769
You're coming out here and you're shaking this

00:55:07.769 --> 00:55:09.849
guy's hair. I know they've had that love -hate

00:55:09.849 --> 00:55:11.329
relationship with each other. I mean, it's more,

00:55:11.449 --> 00:55:13.210
I definitely think it's more like a respectful

00:55:13.210 --> 00:55:16.510
hate, if that makes sense. Like, you know, I

00:55:16.510 --> 00:55:18.409
just, I hate playing against you because you

00:55:18.409 --> 00:55:19.909
always fucking score on me. It was how floor

00:55:19.909 --> 00:55:23.000
you felt for him, you know? I think he was like,

00:55:23.059 --> 00:55:25.340
I'm just so happy you didn't score 895 on me.

00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:28.460
I think that's what he had said. Something like

00:55:28.460 --> 00:55:32.719
that. He was like, what's your opinions on Gretzky

00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:33.940
finally breaking the goal record? He goes, well,

00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:35.539
I know I had a good fair share to do with that.

00:55:36.380 --> 00:55:39.599
So I think he was the OB's number one goalie

00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:41.639
that he scored on. Yeah, his top three were Price

00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:44.920
and Lundqvist. Lundqvist was two and Price was

00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:47.519
number three. Obviously the two in your division

00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:49.380
that you played in your division for your entire

00:55:49.380 --> 00:55:53.489
career. Imagine if Flyer probably would have

00:55:53.489 --> 00:55:54.989
been a lot higher if he would have stayed with

00:55:54.989 --> 00:55:57.090
the Penguins the whole time. He would have been

00:55:57.090 --> 00:55:59.429
probably well over 100 and scored on Fleury.

00:55:59.909 --> 00:56:02.469
I think it was like 80 -something or 70 -something,

00:56:02.489 --> 00:56:04.289
80 -something he scored against Fleury. I don't

00:56:04.289 --> 00:56:09.889
remember. It was quite a few. It's tough. It's

00:56:09.889 --> 00:56:12.909
going to be tough next year knowing that, wow,

00:56:12.969 --> 00:56:14.829
Fleury's not backing somebody up tonight or Fleury's

00:56:14.829 --> 00:56:16.889
not going to be on the bench that way. Maybe

00:56:16.889 --> 00:56:19.690
he changes his mind and does one more. Who knows?

00:56:19.750 --> 00:56:22.719
We've seen. seen tom brady do it but i said it

00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:26.300
was just like watching flurry like just highlights

00:56:26.300 --> 00:56:30.440
and just watching it's just i could always put

00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:33.460
a smile on my face like seeing like just i mean

00:56:33.460 --> 00:56:37.519
i still get chills from that 2009 last second

00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:40.139
sprawling saving and nick lindstrom of all people

00:56:40.139 --> 00:56:42.940
that's to this day is probably my favorite um

00:56:42.940 --> 00:56:47.170
flurry saving that to this day still It's my

00:56:47.170 --> 00:56:50.349
favorite flurry save. He even said that he had

00:56:50.349 --> 00:56:54.849
a big old bruise the size of a puck on his chest.

00:56:55.190 --> 00:56:57.829
Like, right, right, like, I don't know. For a

00:56:57.829 --> 00:57:01.110
while after that, yeah? Yeah. It didn't glitz

00:57:01.110 --> 00:57:03.349
or not. It was probably a good 90 -something

00:57:03.349 --> 00:57:04.969
mile an hour slap shot from the point there.

00:57:04.969 --> 00:57:07.389
Going from one side of the crease to the other,

00:57:07.469 --> 00:57:09.690
just doing that. That's still, to this day, that

00:57:09.690 --> 00:57:13.429
call from Doc. Doc ever calling it, too? Just...

00:57:13.889 --> 00:57:16.110
chills, man. Just unbelievable. And everybody

00:57:16.110 --> 00:57:17.969
on the bench was like, oh god, Flower, please

00:57:17.969 --> 00:57:19.789
fucking get over it. Just keep going over it.

00:57:19.909 --> 00:57:21.789
Bill, Bill, Bill Gator is like, oh god, it's

00:57:21.789 --> 00:57:26.789
that strong. Shit. Yeah, I remember just watching

00:57:26.789 --> 00:57:29.809
that DVD documentary of that. They're just watching

00:57:29.809 --> 00:57:34.269
every second. Every second felt like hours ticking

00:57:34.269 --> 00:57:37.530
off of that clock. And you have the final face

00:57:37.530 --> 00:57:39.489
-off with eight seconds left. Six and a half.

00:57:40.230 --> 00:57:43.960
Six and a half. I think Rafalski might have,

00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:47.199
you know, Rafalski gets it over to Lidstrom,

00:57:47.340 --> 00:57:49.320
and then you're like, oh, fuck, it's Lidstrom.

00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:53.539
I mean, that could have been, who knows? Again,

00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:55.460
who knows what happens if he scores that goal?

00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:59.699
Who knows? Obviously, that goes to overtime.

00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.019
Does Detroit go back -to -back again and win

00:58:02.019 --> 00:58:07.179
that year? Is Marc -Andre Fleury considered one

00:58:07.179 --> 00:58:10.239
of the greats if he lets that goal in? It's crazy

00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:26.150
to think. I think I told this story once before,

00:58:26.329 --> 00:58:29.670
but I just remember because I was, you know,

00:58:29.690 --> 00:58:31.550
8, 9 years old, you know, games start at 8 o

00:58:31.550 --> 00:58:34.170
'clock, so I was probably pushing midnight by

00:58:34.170 --> 00:58:36.130
the time that's happening. But it was in the

00:58:36.130 --> 00:58:38.789
summer, we were done with school, but I still

00:58:38.789 --> 00:58:41.909
wasn't allowed to stay up that late. But where

00:58:41.909 --> 00:58:45.989
we lived at the time, where my parents live now,

00:58:46.130 --> 00:58:49.289
where my mom lives now, my bedroom was at the

00:58:49.289 --> 00:58:51.170
end of the hallway, and I could sit at the end

00:58:51.170 --> 00:58:53.469
of the hallway with a perfect clear shot of the

00:58:53.469 --> 00:58:56.079
TV. So if I wanted to watch the game, I'd just

00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:58.260
sit at the end of the hallway, just stay very,

00:58:58.340 --> 00:59:00.400
very quiet, and I could get a perfect shot of

00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:02.340
the TV and watch it happen. And that's exactly

00:59:02.340 --> 00:59:04.380
what happened. I could just sit at the end of

00:59:04.380 --> 00:59:07.019
the hallway and just watch it happen. Just try

00:59:07.019 --> 00:59:08.820
to silently cheer. I think I let out a little

00:59:08.820 --> 00:59:10.739
bit too loud of a cheer. My dad looks around

00:59:10.739 --> 00:59:12.079
the corner, and I'm sitting at the end of the

00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.960
hallway like, yeah! I actually remember I was

00:59:15.960 --> 00:59:20.280
just sitting in the middle of where I was living

00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:22.739
at the time with my mom. Sitting in the middle

00:59:22.739 --> 00:59:26.280
because... middle of the floor like watching

00:59:26.280 --> 00:59:29.360
him like just like this I'm like come on come

00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:34.440
on come on like after I'm like I jump I'm like

00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:37.260
yes yes yes we had like just moved into that

00:59:37.260 --> 00:59:40.019
into that you know this house where we were at

00:59:40.019 --> 00:59:41.820
so we were at the Steelers Super Bowl a couple

00:59:41.820 --> 00:59:44.260
months prior you know we were at a different

00:59:44.260 --> 00:59:45.940
place and I wasn't able to do that but I was

00:59:45.940 --> 00:59:47.019
allowed to stay for that one because the Super

00:59:47.019 --> 00:59:49.440
Bowl would end by like 10 o 'clock I was allowed

00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:52.559
to stay for that one Another funny story about

00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:54.099
that one. This is going off topic because it's

00:59:54.099 --> 00:59:55.639
not hockey, but it's the last episode of the

00:59:55.639 --> 00:59:58.579
season. It was just bullshit. This is Super Bowl,

00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:00.159
you know, Super Bowl 43, Steelers -Cardinals,

01:00:00.219 --> 01:00:02.780
obviously. Still incredible. Larry Fitzgerald

01:00:02.780 --> 01:00:04.320
takes that touchdown to the house with like two

01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:05.920
and a half minutes left. I remember my dad, I

01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:07.699
think he almost fractured his wrist because he

01:00:07.699 --> 01:00:10.480
punched the couch so fucking hard when that happened,

01:00:10.579 --> 01:00:13.719
thinking the game was over. Obviously, Ben Roethlisberger

01:00:13.719 --> 01:00:17.239
does, you know, final last two -minute drive

01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:19.780
of the game, Ben Roethlisberger things. goes

01:00:19.780 --> 01:00:22.420
down and wins it for us. I was going to say,

01:00:22.460 --> 01:00:26.280
I think mine was, my almost, like, got kicked

01:00:26.280 --> 01:00:29.699
out of the house was the 2017 double OT winner.

01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:33.679
Cooney scored. Probably out of your, like, how

01:00:33.679 --> 01:00:36.199
out of your meaning for it? Yeah, I see that

01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:39.800
knuckler going. It's, like, 11, 30, 12, maybe

01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:42.039
nights. Well, it's double overtime, so it's probably

01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:44.719
closer to 12, 31. Yeah, and, like, watching it

01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:46.719
down on the bedroom of my parents' place, like,

01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:51.119
their ceiling's high, so, like, Talk like this,

01:00:51.260 --> 01:00:55.039
and echoes. But, you know, everybody was in bed.

01:00:55.260 --> 01:00:57.739
I see that puck going. I get up and I'm like,

01:00:57.739 --> 01:01:02.820
LET'S FUCKING GO! And my one brother walks out,

01:01:02.900 --> 01:01:05.940
my dad walks out, and they're like, what? I'm

01:01:05.940 --> 01:01:08.880
just like, THEY FUCKING WON! Like, I was going

01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:12.539
nuts. I was laying on the couch watching him,

01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:14.539
and I fucking fell asleep, so I fucking missed

01:01:14.539 --> 01:01:17.920
it. I just woke up and it was the post -game,

01:01:18.039 --> 01:01:21.380
like, them, you know, sitting at the table just

01:01:21.380 --> 01:01:23.519
talking about it. I was like, bitch. It was kind

01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:27.000
of funny. It was similar to what Collins, because

01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.400
where I'm living at now, like, my house is not

01:01:29.400 --> 01:01:31.900
soundproof. I can hear anything. Like, I can

01:01:31.900 --> 01:01:35.840
hear the neighbors, like, TV or the hallways,

01:01:35.900 --> 01:01:39.480
like, when the door opens or whatever. I'm alone

01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:43.480
with the bed. I'm like, it was late at night,

01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:48.440
too. I'm like... And I screamed to him. I'm like,

01:01:48.539 --> 01:01:53.980
she's like, what? It's like, it's quiet. I'm

01:01:53.980 --> 01:02:01.980
like, sorry. I was like, sorry. I remember screaming

01:02:01.980 --> 01:02:06.280
pretty loudly with Horny's go -ahead goal in

01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:11.079
game six of the finals that same year. Got pretty

01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:14.900
loud for that one, I remember, too. It was like,

01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:16.719
holy fuck, that went in. Like, he just, like,

01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:18.579
everybody was shocked. Like, nobody knew it went

01:02:18.579 --> 01:02:21.199
in. Like, off the backside. Marty was the only

01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:23.760
one that knew it went in. Off the backside of

01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.619
Rene. You know. Off the post, off his back. And

01:02:28.619 --> 01:02:30.800
he just kind of, like, backed it into the net.

01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:33.340
I don't know if it's controversial because then

01:02:33.340 --> 01:02:35.679
I think, but I think it was, like, a minute into

01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:38.449
the second period, the one that. Ref lost sight

01:02:38.449 --> 01:02:40.010
of it right behind Murray, but it was still free.

01:02:40.289 --> 01:02:41.849
Yeah, and they were able to poke it in, but he

01:02:41.849 --> 01:02:43.670
blew the whistle just before them. Yeah, because

01:02:43.670 --> 01:02:44.829
he lost sight of it. I mean, that's the rule,

01:02:44.889 --> 01:02:46.170
though. I mean, you lose sight of the puck, you

01:02:46.170 --> 01:02:48.550
blow the whistle. That's the rule. I think the

01:02:48.550 --> 01:02:50.869
unfortunate thing was the ref was still in the

01:02:50.869 --> 01:02:53.889
corner versus, like, he should have been behind

01:02:53.889 --> 01:02:55.949
the net. He should have been following the puck,

01:02:56.030 --> 01:02:57.269
yeah, yeah. Yeah, he should have been, like,

01:02:57.269 --> 01:03:00.719
directly behind the net watching. I 100 % understand

01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:02.900
why Predators fans to this day are still pissed

01:03:02.900 --> 01:03:05.780
off about it. Rightfully so. I get it. It would

01:03:05.780 --> 01:03:07.760
have pissed me off too. If I was in their shoes.

01:03:08.340 --> 01:03:14.400
I'm not taking that away from you. Sorry. Mistakes

01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:19.739
happen. That's just how it is. Let's do our final

01:03:19.739 --> 01:03:22.860
Puck Doku of the season. I'm totally on the wrong

01:03:22.860 --> 01:03:27.219
profile here. I'm on my personal versus the professional.

01:03:27.980 --> 01:03:32.079
Alright. Well, what do we have? Just about an

01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:35.880
hour. All right. Easy peasy. Puck, don't go.

01:03:36.260 --> 01:03:38.320
So going across through the columns, we have

01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:41.300
the Ducks, the Golden Knights, and 30 plus points

01:03:41.300 --> 01:03:46.719
in a season. And for the Rose, we have CBJ, Detroit,

01:03:47.099 --> 01:03:51.960
and Buffalo. So we got either Tuck or Eichel.

01:03:52.659 --> 01:03:58.219
We got... Well... We're off the bat. We're just

01:03:58.219 --> 01:04:00.059
talking about him. Got to put Johnny Gaudreau.

01:04:00.059 --> 01:04:13.860
Call him his 30 -plus points. There we go. All

01:04:13.860 --> 01:04:20.239
right. Let's see. Tuck or Eichel. Well, we can

01:04:20.239 --> 01:04:22.960
do Eichel for the 30 -plus and then Tuck for...

01:04:22.960 --> 01:04:26.460
Yeah, true. Or either or. It doesn't matter.

01:04:26.500 --> 01:04:38.829
Either or. 1%. David Perron for Red Wings Vegas.

01:04:40.590 --> 01:04:51.610
Yeah. Obviously for 30 -point season for Detroit,

01:04:51.670 --> 01:04:55.090
you could put just about anyone. Zetterberg,

01:04:55.210 --> 01:05:00.650
Raymond, Datsouk, Gordie Howe. Columbus Vegas,

01:05:00.789 --> 01:05:08.659
that's going to be a difficult one. Jonathan

01:05:08.659 --> 01:05:12.219
Quick, no. Technically, he would have never played

01:05:12.219 --> 01:05:15.900
a game for a lot of minutes. Points for credit.

01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:17.699
Blue Jackets legend. He's getting his banner

01:05:17.699 --> 01:05:22.360
next year, man. Returning his jersey next year.

01:05:26.539 --> 01:05:28.519
Not Gary McCauley. I think he's an LA to me.

01:05:28.699 --> 01:05:30.820
Yeah, I was going to say. That's why I haven't

01:05:30.820 --> 01:05:33.360
said him because I was trying to save him until

01:05:33.360 --> 01:05:37.019
we got the other ones. Obviously, Buffalo A &I,

01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:40.920
Ryan Miller. Billy Huso for Anaheim, Detroit?

01:05:41.619 --> 01:05:48.920
Didn't Billy Huso play in Anaheim? No. St. Louis?

01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:51.699
I know he played for St. Louis. Okay. I thought

01:05:51.699 --> 01:05:53.940
he played for Anaheim as well. Possibly, but

01:05:53.940 --> 01:06:00.940
I'm not confident enough to put it yet. Oh! Oh!

01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:09.130
Oh! Oh -oh! Oh -oh! William Carlson, Columbus,

01:06:09.250 --> 01:06:12.269
Vegas. Drafted by Columbus and was in the expansion

01:06:12.269 --> 01:06:15.309
draft for Vegas. His bet's still there, isn't

01:06:15.309 --> 01:06:19.570
he? Yeah. He's one of the original misfits. I'm

01:06:19.570 --> 01:06:21.769
sorry, I just see Otis' fat ass marching down

01:06:21.769 --> 01:06:26.030
back there. Yeah, I'm talking about a heel. Detroit,

01:06:26.170 --> 01:06:41.800
Anaheim. Columbus, Anaheim. I'm mixing Anderson

01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:47.260
and Bob Roski. Bob was Columbus, Philly, Florida,

01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:52.880
whereas Anderson was Anaheim, Toronto, Carolina.

01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:57.280
I know, I was trying to think there too. No.

01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:05.099
I think Boone Jenner has been in Columbus his

01:07:05.099 --> 01:07:09.599
whole career. Yep. I'm trying to think of some

01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:10.719
of those guys that have bounced around. Like

01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:12.639
Atkinson, I don't think he played for Anaheim.

01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:16.960
Atkinson was Columbus Philly. That's it. No,

01:07:16.980 --> 01:07:22.420
he's Tampa. Oh, yeah, this past year at the deadline.

01:07:26.780 --> 01:07:29.039
Oh, Detroit, Anaheim. I feel like that was one

01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:32.860
that we should know. I should text Ethan, hey,

01:07:32.980 --> 01:07:39.480
Detroit, Anaheim, go. That's what I was thinking,

01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:42.780
like, Ethan would know. Damn it, Ethan! Did Brad

01:07:42.780 --> 01:07:48.360
Cogutis ever play for Columbus? No. No? Okay.

01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:59.079
I'm gonna text Ethan right now. I'm gonna do

01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:06.699
you one better. Did he answer this late? It's

01:08:06.699 --> 01:08:17.539
only 9 .30. He's usually up to save him. Maybe.

01:08:19.140 --> 01:08:28.880
I don't think he's going to pick up. Damn. And

01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:30.020
hang up. Don't leak his number or something.

01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:35.140
Thank you for calling. Watch. As soon as we're

01:08:35.140 --> 01:08:38.159
done here, he's going to call me back. Oh, Philly,

01:08:38.220 --> 01:08:40.300
at least it was possible. Like, I don't remember

01:08:40.300 --> 01:08:42.979
if he played Anaheim or not. Like, early, like,

01:08:43.020 --> 01:08:50.000
before St. Louis. What about Gots to be here?

01:08:51.100 --> 01:08:59.159
Gots is there. No, I think he was Philly. Philly,

01:08:59.199 --> 01:09:03.140
Detroit, Carolina, I believe. And then Kevin

01:09:03.140 --> 01:09:07.279
Shitmister. I'm sorry. I can only think of even

01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:11.000
think names now. Was he ever on Columbus? Oh,

01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:23.899
I was thinking Detroit. Oh, man. We've got to

01:09:23.899 --> 01:09:26.100
go out the bay here, man, on this. We're going

01:09:26.100 --> 01:09:31.560
to go 9 for 9 here. Damn. Rick Nash will never

01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:41.100
play for Anaheim. I think there's a goalie here

01:09:41.100 --> 01:09:49.220
somewhere. Who did Oso play for? Damn. You got

01:09:49.220 --> 01:09:51.579
other players like Alex... I don't know who Alex

01:09:51.579 --> 01:09:57.939
Ion. Peter Morazic. I don't think Terrence Halbin

01:09:57.939 --> 01:10:00.619
ever played for... Gene Reimer's been around.

01:10:00.939 --> 01:10:04.060
Been a journeyman. Reimer's definitely Detroit,

01:10:04.340 --> 01:10:07.579
but I can't remember. Oh, was he Anaheim? Yes,

01:10:07.579 --> 01:10:11.619
he was. Oh. Because I know he's been out less.

01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:23.840
That might be. I don't know, though. I'm trying

01:10:23.840 --> 01:10:26.819
to picture James Reimer in a Ducks uniform. Jack

01:10:26.819 --> 01:10:31.000
Campbell's Toronto, Edmonton, I haven't played

01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:33.359
a game in Detroit yet, but he's in their system.

01:10:41.800 --> 01:10:44.520
I like Reimer better than... I mean, Reimer and

01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:47.000
Huso are two possibilities that Reimer and I

01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:51.880
were for. But we'll get both for Detroit -Anaheim.

01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:59.420
Oh, um... Alex Glorn was only at Tampa -Anaheim.

01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:04.880
Corey Perry has never played for Columbus and

01:11:04.880 --> 01:11:08.039
Detroit. I'm trying to think like that 15, 16,

01:11:08.159 --> 01:11:10.539
17 Columbus team where the Penguins would have

01:11:10.539 --> 01:11:12.770
played them a lot. Like, Brandon Dubinsky comes

01:11:12.770 --> 01:11:17.350
to mind. Brandon Saad comes to mind. Has Saad

01:11:17.350 --> 01:11:22.029
done Anaheim? I know he's played out West quite

01:11:22.029 --> 01:11:25.289
a bit, but has he done Anaheim specifically?

01:11:25.930 --> 01:11:32.250
I don't know. I feel like Matt Duchesne or Anthony

01:11:32.250 --> 01:11:37.329
DeClaire I know have all bounced around. What

01:11:37.329 --> 01:11:44.960
would DeClaire be? Detroit Anaheim. I don't think

01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:53.539
he'd play. I'm not confident. Oh, man. I'm thinking

01:11:53.539 --> 01:11:56.079
like a Riley Shahan. I know he jumped around.

01:11:58.460 --> 01:12:01.380
He's definitely done Detroit. I'm not sure. Again,

01:12:01.460 --> 01:12:18.520
I'm not sure about Anaheim. That's my best guess

01:12:18.520 --> 01:12:20.100
I can come up with right now is Raleigh -Shahan.

01:12:25.899 --> 01:12:33.439
Steve Mason. Columbus. Maybe Anaheim. Maybe.

01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:37.020
I'm just trying to spit bald hands at this point.

01:12:37.260 --> 01:12:42.760
That's tough. Eric Branson's jumped around. That

01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:48.090
could be Columbus -Anaheim. So we're going to

01:12:48.090 --> 01:12:52.029
go Good Branson for Columbus and Huso for Detroit?

01:12:53.189 --> 01:12:55.949
We'll do Good Branson first for Columbus -Anaheim.

01:13:00.829 --> 01:13:02.529
Yeah, okay, okay, alright, alright, alright.

01:13:02.689 --> 01:13:03.789
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:13:05.069 --> 01:13:07.890
So we're between, what, Huso and Riley Shahan?

01:13:09.449 --> 01:13:16.210
Can we flip a coin? Heads is Shahan, tails is

01:13:16.210 --> 01:13:24.529
Huso? Flip a coin. We didn't even decide who's

01:13:24.529 --> 01:13:27.850
who. I said heads is two hands. Alright, that's

01:13:27.850 --> 01:13:30.710
two out of three. It's tails, so flip again.

01:13:33.510 --> 01:13:41.810
Heads. Okay. Flip it again. Tails. Alright, so

01:13:41.810 --> 01:13:48.310
Philly Husso's the lock -in. Drumroll, please.

01:13:52.430 --> 01:13:54.170
Good guess. We were both right, though, wasn't

01:13:54.170 --> 01:14:01.590
we? Shahan, too. Bernier, Huso. David Perron

01:14:01.590 --> 01:14:03.210
can fit there, too. James Reimer. We were right

01:14:03.210 --> 01:14:06.909
on Reimer, too. Steve Thomas, Max Olney, Dennis

01:14:06.909 --> 01:14:12.789
Sprung. Brad May. Good thing we won't, though.

01:14:12.789 --> 01:14:15.710
Okay, I am not seeing... Carter Rowney. Zach

01:14:15.710 --> 01:14:18.350
Est... What? What did the Estonians play for

01:14:18.350 --> 01:14:22.699
Detroit? What? Steve, why? I'm just going to

01:14:22.699 --> 01:14:25.359
blame Stevie Y on this one. Alright? Why did

01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:31.760
Czar play for Detroit? Wait, what were some other

01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:37.319
ones for Columbus? And I'm too. Simon, Sillinger,

01:14:38.140 --> 01:14:42.420
Lone Carlson, which we got. Jared Bull, Curtis

01:14:42.420 --> 01:14:45.739
Macklin is Czar. That one I knew, but I didn't

01:14:45.739 --> 01:14:49.920
know he played for Detroit. Jamiro Pronger, Scott

01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:55.859
Harrington. Rene Bork. Brian Gibbitt. When the

01:14:55.859 --> 01:15:02.020
fuck did Czar play for Detroit? Did we want to

01:15:02.020 --> 01:15:06.100
try the pyramid or not? He played three games

01:15:06.100 --> 01:15:10.600
for Detroit in the 23 -24 season. Detroit legend.

01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:15.159
Three games where he put up zero points, two

01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:17.640
penalty minutes, and had five minutes of ice

01:15:17.640 --> 01:15:23.939
time in three games. Detroit legend. Wow. All

01:15:23.939 --> 01:15:27.840
right. Anybody that's ever been drafted. We're

01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:29.600
going to say Sam Reinhardt for the very, very

01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:33.600
top. Did he play in the W? Did he play in the

01:15:33.600 --> 01:15:37.619
W? I thought he came from the L. Bennett did.

01:15:39.260 --> 01:15:42.720
What? No. Well, did Bennett get drafted in the

01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:45.859
first round? That's the thing. Bennett didn't

01:15:45.859 --> 01:15:49.239
play for Detroit. Or for Buffalo, sorry. Oh,

01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:58.199
yeah. Any first round ever. Let's just go Mario

01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:10.760
Lui. Father gets played. Younger. 30 will see

01:16:10.760 --> 01:16:15.140
them. Crosby. That's just about to start tapping

01:16:15.140 --> 01:16:18.670
that in. All right, so we'll be here. First round,

01:16:18.890 --> 01:16:21.810
500 games played, 30 goals, plus goal seasons.

01:16:22.090 --> 01:16:24.789
We could just do Jack Eichel. Has he played 500

01:16:24.789 --> 01:16:27.989
games yet? He's drafted number two in McDavid.

01:16:28.250 --> 01:16:31.050
He's drafted second overall. If McDavid paid...

01:16:31.050 --> 01:16:33.109
Yeah, true, true. As we say. David almost had

01:16:33.109 --> 01:16:35.289
a foul game. Eichel hasn't had that many injuries.

01:16:37.109 --> 01:16:41.130
Okay. Who would this last one be? Where did Reinhardt

01:16:41.130 --> 01:16:47.770
play? Is he from the W? The thing about it is

01:16:47.770 --> 01:16:51.729
I have a feeling he played for London. Ryan Hurd,

01:16:51.789 --> 01:16:53.409
I don't think he played for London. Oh, fuck.

01:16:53.829 --> 01:16:59.729
I want to say he was in the O. You can always

01:16:59.729 --> 01:17:02.189
do the lifeline. Someone tells me he played for

01:17:02.189 --> 01:17:05.470
Plymouth or something. I don't know. Yeah, let's

01:17:05.470 --> 01:17:12.130
do the lifeline for the WHL here. Speaking of.

01:17:12.229 --> 01:17:17.260
Too late now. Hi there, buddy. How you doing?

01:17:18.479 --> 01:17:22.520
Good, what's up? Hey. No, no, you're good. I

01:17:22.520 --> 01:17:25.720
guess, either number one, it's late and you're

01:17:25.720 --> 01:17:27.500
probably in bed, or number two, you're busy and

01:17:27.500 --> 01:17:30.859
hands full. We get it. I understand. So, we're

01:17:30.859 --> 01:17:34.380
actually, funny story, we're actually, right

01:17:34.380 --> 01:17:37.800
now, currently in the middle of recording the

01:17:37.800 --> 01:18:06.960
season finale for season five. Detroit and Anaheim?

01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:14.300
Was he one of them? He was one of them, yeah.

01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:17.119
So yeah, you're currently on speakerphone with

01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:18.739
the rest of the gentlemen here in the studio,

01:18:18.899 --> 01:18:21.060
so. We ended up going with Huso, right? Yeah,

01:18:21.060 --> 01:18:26.279
we went with Billy Huso, which was correct. But

01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:31.119
Fab Reader was also correct, so. Yeah. Yeah,

01:18:31.140 --> 01:18:32.779
we were struggling. We were like, I know who

01:18:32.779 --> 01:18:43.199
to call! Our Detroit pro, man. we appreciate

01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:49.220
it man you got anything else to say before the

01:18:49.220 --> 01:18:52.680
season before we wrap it up here on this call

01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:13.279
Oh, thank you, buddy. I appreciate you calling

01:19:13.279 --> 01:19:16.779
me back, dude. Yep, not a problem. All right.

01:19:16.819 --> 01:19:21.699
See you, everybody. See ya. Hell yeah, man. Hell

01:19:21.699 --> 01:19:25.460
yeah. At least he called before we ended recording.

01:19:25.859 --> 01:19:29.300
Yeah. This is the lifeline here for the Debbie

01:19:29.300 --> 01:19:33.520
Luchel. Do 50 -50 or film a blade? Let's do 50

01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:35.420
-50. Make it difficult. Let us earn it here.

01:19:37.000 --> 01:19:38.880
Skinner or... Oh, yeah. It might be Skinner.

01:19:39.000 --> 01:19:42.140
Oh, because they both played. But which one's

01:19:42.140 --> 01:19:44.640
for all? No, Cain. Because Vander Cain played

01:19:44.640 --> 01:19:47.659
for London, didn't he? You're thinking of Patrick

01:19:47.659 --> 01:19:52.220
Cain. Oh, yeah. Oh. Jeffy, which one of those

01:19:52.220 --> 01:19:58.199
played in the O? Oh, Skinner did play in the

01:19:58.199 --> 01:20:00.399
O. Skinner played in the O? Yeah. So this one

01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:03.460
would be Vander Cain? Yep. And then top one would

01:20:03.460 --> 01:20:07.060
be Sam Reinhardt, right? It doesn't have to be

01:20:07.060 --> 01:20:13.710
then. I can't think of anybody else. I think

01:20:13.710 --> 01:20:21.329
it has to be Sam Reinhardt. Yeah, okay. Easy

01:20:21.329 --> 01:20:24.289
peasy. And Stu Barnes. Stu Barnes, that's a name

01:20:24.289 --> 01:20:29.710
I haven't heard in about 11 years. Michael Reinhardt,

01:20:29.729 --> 01:20:33.189
Pierre Lafontaine, Dave Andrew Chuck. Lafontaine,

01:20:33.270 --> 01:20:38.149
Pierre Hall. Thomas Vanek. Taylor Hall. Brad

01:20:38.149 --> 01:20:42.750
Boyce. Alex Tuck, Skinner. Alright. Hell yeah.

01:20:43.170 --> 01:20:47.630
And for the last time this season, Hurdle. Sure,

01:20:47.689 --> 01:21:04.569
let's do it. We're on a high. One of these times

01:21:04.569 --> 01:21:06.590
I'm just going to fucking pull it out of my ass.

01:21:06.789 --> 01:21:10.550
Bring it up again. So he is in the West and he

01:21:10.550 --> 01:21:17.090
is Canadian. I was thinking maybe like a Mark

01:21:17.090 --> 01:21:23.689
Scheifele? I was thinking Drew Dowdy. Oh, could

01:21:23.689 --> 01:21:26.789
be. Could be. I was thinking because he is longer.

01:21:27.390 --> 01:21:31.029
We know he's in the Pacific. So Dowdy. Dowdy's

01:21:31.029 --> 01:21:35.409
in the Pacific. I didn't pay attention to that

01:21:35.409 --> 01:21:42.689
at first. Okay. Canadian defenseman. His number

01:21:42.689 --> 01:21:45.579
is... Like five or below, so that's massive.

01:21:45.579 --> 01:21:49.340
No, no, no. Five, six, or seven. First number.

01:21:49.859 --> 01:21:51.399
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah.

01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:55.119
So give me five, six, or seven. Plays in the

01:21:55.119 --> 01:22:03.319
West, not L .A. He's Canadian. Okay. Let's try

01:22:03.319 --> 01:22:05.960
to eliminate some of these Cali teams, maybe.

01:22:07.399 --> 01:22:09.619
Oh, could we get a Shea Theodore? I know he's

01:22:09.619 --> 01:22:13.739
number five. Where is he, though? Oh, Vegas.

01:22:16.399 --> 01:22:25.020
We have a couple shots, so... Vegas! Vegas! I

01:22:25.020 --> 01:22:27.199
was 27. I was a little off. Either way, we're

01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:29.460
in Vegas. There's a defenseman on Vegas who wears

01:22:29.460 --> 01:22:34.600
5, 6, or 7. Ivan Barberchev's Russian. I think

01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:38.539
he's 4 or 2. Okay. I'm trying to think of all

01:22:38.539 --> 01:22:42.199
their defensemen. I'm just chatting out players

01:22:42.199 --> 01:22:48.560
with low numbers. Eichel's 9. Kessel's the last

01:22:48.560 --> 01:22:55.060
one to wear number 8. I'm trying to think of...

01:22:55.060 --> 01:23:02.000
Petriangelo? 27. No, it's Estinor's 27. I think

01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:06.739
Peter Gill is 7. But how old is he? How old is

01:23:06.739 --> 01:23:10.060
he? That's really the key factor. We can try

01:23:10.060 --> 01:23:12.500
it. I think he's like 30, 31. He'd be right on

01:23:12.500 --> 01:23:14.760
that. Oh, I guess it would take 29 and older.

01:23:14.979 --> 01:23:20.520
Well, we can try. I don't think it is, but it's

01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:28.079
P -I -E. Okay, he's 35 then. So, his number's

01:23:28.079 --> 01:23:34.779
5 or 6. 5 or 6. It's not like Keaton Colesaw,

01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:37.039
right? He's a forward. Yeah, he's a forward.

01:23:37.159 --> 01:23:40.500
His number's 55. It's not like Nick Waugh. I

01:23:40.500 --> 01:23:41.920
think he's a forward, and I think he's like number

01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:47.359
10. Yeah. Damn it, my Vegas jersey isn't out

01:23:47.359 --> 01:23:50.140
to date. What about Nicholas Hagg? I think he's

01:23:50.140 --> 01:23:57.020
from Vegas. What is... Dang. We're going to get

01:23:57.020 --> 01:24:00.260
this fucking wrong. I'm going to be so mad. It's

01:24:00.260 --> 01:24:03.699
Canadian defenseman on Vegas. Like, we have that

01:24:03.699 --> 01:24:06.979
much in three. His number is either five or six.

01:24:20.750 --> 01:24:22.189
man like maybe somebody that might have been

01:24:22.189 --> 01:24:24.369
out which hasn't played in a little bit or even

01:24:24.369 --> 01:24:26.970
a third parent defenseman fifth sixth seventh

01:24:26.970 --> 01:24:36.689
defenseman that's what I'm trying to think Odie

01:24:36.689 --> 01:24:41.470
do you have anything to say no okay cool thanks

01:24:41.470 --> 01:24:51.970
brother I can't think of defensemen on Vegas.

01:24:54.470 --> 01:24:57.670
Peter Jello and Peter were the only two that

01:24:57.670 --> 01:25:03.229
I had in mind. Nick Waugh and Nick Hagg. I want

01:25:03.229 --> 01:25:05.029
to say Nick Hagg's his name, but I don't know

01:25:05.029 --> 01:25:12.949
what he... H -A -G -U -E. I was right. He is

01:25:12.949 --> 01:25:16.489
a defenseman. Okay. So he's either 23, 24, or

01:25:16.489 --> 01:25:19.619
25 years of age. I think he's only two years,

01:25:19.739 --> 01:25:23.800
so it's 24 or 25. 24 or 25. And his number is

01:25:23.800 --> 01:25:41.479
5 or 6. Oh my god. He's younger. I sound like

01:25:41.479 --> 01:25:46.300
Matt Amodio. I'm pretty sure he's a forward.

01:25:46.699 --> 01:25:52.640
Do I see him? I don't think it's Nicholas Waugh.

01:25:52.800 --> 01:25:54.720
Or Nicholas Roy, I think that's how you say it.

01:25:56.279 --> 01:26:00.380
I'm pretty sure he's a forward. Oh, hold on.

01:26:07.619 --> 01:26:09.699
He's a forward, okay. He's Canadian, though.

01:26:09.819 --> 01:26:11.739
I was right on his number when I said 10 earlier.

01:26:13.420 --> 01:26:20.060
Oh, my God. I'm like 90 % sure Keaton Colstar

01:26:20.060 --> 01:26:22.659
is a forward. Yeah, and his number is 55, so

01:26:22.659 --> 01:26:25.060
he's out. You're right with the forward part,

01:26:25.140 --> 01:26:32.319
so. Number five or six on Vegas. I want to say

01:26:32.319 --> 01:26:46.359
it's five, but who is it? Paul Cotter? Oh, he's

01:26:46.359 --> 01:26:52.010
on Vegas. Jersey now? And he's American. So he's

01:26:52.010 --> 01:26:57.649
24 years of age. No, he's 24. 24 -year -old defenseman.

01:26:57.789 --> 01:26:59.590
Is this our last guest? It's our last guest,

01:26:59.649 --> 01:27:02.689
too. Oh, my God, dude. We're going to get this

01:27:02.689 --> 01:27:06.649
wrong. I'm going to be so fucking mad. Big stretch,

01:27:06.750 --> 01:27:11.869
Eddie. Big stretch. We're going to end the season

01:27:11.869 --> 01:27:20.380
like this, too. We can't do this. I think of

01:27:20.380 --> 01:27:24.119
guys maybe that have just came in or like trades.

01:27:24.380 --> 01:27:27.479
Was it a trade deadline accusation? Remember,

01:27:27.659 --> 01:27:29.680
this one doesn't really update that often. As

01:27:29.680 --> 01:27:34.300
often as... I think it's gotten better. Because

01:27:34.300 --> 01:27:36.359
I can just wonder if Carter played for Vegas

01:27:36.359 --> 01:27:38.000
this year. I can look that up because we already

01:27:38.000 --> 01:27:41.840
guessed them. I want to say Carter played this

01:27:41.840 --> 01:27:49.770
year. I guess he would have got traded. End of

01:27:49.770 --> 01:27:53.569
last season, okay. But I wasn't wrong. He did

01:27:53.569 --> 01:27:57.489
play for Vegas. I wasn't wrong. Oh, my God. They

01:27:57.489 --> 01:27:59.069
already said Nick Hagrid. They said Nick Hag.

01:27:59.289 --> 01:28:05.189
They said Nick Waugh. Peter Joe Theodore. Dude.

01:28:06.210 --> 01:28:09.529
Dude. Trevor VanDreamstack isn't over there.

01:28:09.649 --> 01:28:12.130
I think the part that's hard for me is... Any

01:28:12.130 --> 01:28:14.149
one of the VanDreamstack brothers would be too

01:28:14.149 --> 01:28:34.350
old. Way too old, yeah. I don't think it's Matt

01:28:34.350 --> 01:28:36.189
again. I don't think it's Matt Amodio. I'm pretty

01:28:36.189 --> 01:28:40.310
sure he's a forward. He's a 24, 21, something

01:28:40.310 --> 01:28:55.500
like that. Remember? It's not Matt Dumba. He

01:28:55.500 --> 01:28:58.460
doesn't play for Vegas. No, it's not Matt. His

01:28:58.460 --> 01:29:01.880
number is like 24, 26, something like that. Not

01:29:01.880 --> 01:29:07.960
Matt, dumbass. It's not Mark Giordano. He's one

01:29:07.960 --> 01:29:10.739
way too fucking old. And he's not even in Vegas.

01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:13.079
Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. He's number

01:29:13.079 --> 01:29:15.100
five for the majority of his career, wasn't he?

01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:25.600
That's the only thing I can think of. No, because

01:29:25.600 --> 01:29:30.460
Pavel Dobriyev would be probably Russian. Yeah.

01:29:32.340 --> 01:29:35.579
I'm trying to think maybe... I'm trying to think

01:29:35.579 --> 01:29:41.760
of four nations. Team. If he had been on that

01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:43.300
team, would he be too young to have made that

01:29:43.300 --> 01:29:49.399
roster? So it was in the Canadian defense on

01:29:49.399 --> 01:29:53.060
that team. I don't remember. Because I was always

01:29:53.060 --> 01:30:04.689
rooting against them. I'm going to give him number

01:30:04.689 --> 01:30:11.750
five, but who is it? Oh, man. I don't know. That's

01:30:11.750 --> 01:30:17.289
so depressing. We're such a good start. How do

01:30:17.289 --> 01:30:28.729
you spell that, madam? M -A -M -A -D -I -O? Try

01:30:28.729 --> 01:30:34.550
that again. I'm sorry. A -M -A -D -I -O? And

01:30:34.550 --> 01:30:44.609
a Michael Lodeo right there. Who? Caden Korczak.

01:30:44.649 --> 01:30:50.170
Okay. What's the number five? Fucking who? I

01:30:50.170 --> 01:30:52.350
think he's one of those. He's like their bottom

01:30:52.350 --> 01:30:56.689
pairing defenseman, like you said. Fucking who?

01:30:57.909 --> 01:31:00.909
You were right. Like you said, the seventh defenseman.

01:31:01.789 --> 01:31:05.140
Let's see number five. Yeah, he's not even listed

01:31:05.140 --> 01:31:10.800
as their top six in their roster. That's why.

01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:24.000
Who?! We were doing so good, too. Man. Who the

01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:27.159
hell's gonna guess that? No offense, dude, but

01:31:27.159 --> 01:31:31.739
who the fuck's gonna guess that? Is he listed

01:31:31.739 --> 01:31:35.069
on their roster? He is listed on the roster on

01:31:35.069 --> 01:31:41.649
the app. Oh, he only played 13 games? No, this

01:31:41.649 --> 01:31:46.909
is us. Oh, okay. He played 40 games and only

01:31:46.909 --> 01:31:49.430
had 10 assists. Did he even play in the playoffs?

01:31:50.329 --> 01:31:52.789
He played one game in the playoffs, that's why.

01:31:53.989 --> 01:31:56.130
I wouldn't have guessed it. Even if I would have

01:31:56.130 --> 01:31:57.409
thought of that name, I don't think I would have

01:31:57.409 --> 01:32:02.680
guessed him to be Canadian. Nope. Who? God, that's

01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:04.739
honestly really frustrating. That's not how you

01:32:04.739 --> 01:32:07.479
want to end the season, man. Oh well, no. And

01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:09.460
we had a pretty good, pretty good Pukudoku, though,

01:32:09.500 --> 01:32:12.760
so. And Pyramid. Perfected the Pyramid and perfected

01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:15.960
the actual Pukudoku. Two for three. Well, can't

01:32:15.960 --> 01:32:17.100
really be too upset about it. Not bad. We'll

01:32:17.100 --> 01:32:19.060
take that. We'll take that. Not bad, not bad,

01:32:19.060 --> 01:32:25.100
not bad. But yeah, that about does it for Season

01:32:25.100 --> 01:32:27.760
5. While you guys say whatever remarks you need

01:32:27.760 --> 01:32:29.640
to say, I'll be back in one second. So let's

01:32:29.640 --> 01:32:33.329
keep our own, right? Let Cone sneak his way out

01:32:33.329 --> 01:32:37.029
of here. My juicy self out of here. We have like

01:32:37.029 --> 01:32:41.609
five seasons of this, man. It's just... It's

01:32:41.609 --> 01:32:45.789
hard to believe. We're now at almost 4 ,000 total

01:32:45.789 --> 01:32:50.189
downloads and listeners, whatever. I don't know

01:32:50.189 --> 01:32:52.829
exactly how it all works. I can't bring up the

01:32:52.829 --> 01:32:59.090
exact number here. What do you got to say, Jeffy?

01:32:59.270 --> 01:33:05.390
Let's see. Been another great season, which is

01:33:05.390 --> 01:33:08.130
hard to believe, like, what costs a five -season

01:33:08.130 --> 01:33:11.409
into it all. Like, it feels like just yesterday

01:33:11.409 --> 01:33:17.310
we were just starting season one. But that tells

01:33:17.310 --> 01:33:23.590
you how time flies. All -time, we're at 38 -57.

01:33:24.510 --> 01:33:26.750
That's just down, though. I have no idea what

01:33:26.750 --> 01:33:29.289
we'd be for, like, all -time listens. But that

01:33:29.289 --> 01:33:34.260
is just... downloads, 38 .57%. Which that is

01:33:34.260 --> 01:33:38.500
up 130 % in the last 30 days. We've seen 177

01:33:38.500 --> 01:33:43.279
in the last 30 days. Apple Podcasts, ever since

01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:46.340
going to Apple Podcasts and expanding. Chromo,

01:33:46.439 --> 01:33:49.619
we've had 62%. Amazon and Apple Podcasts, each

01:33:49.619 --> 01:33:53.739
6%. Expanding is probably the best thing we did

01:33:53.739 --> 01:33:56.380
there. We're getting a lot more listeners on

01:33:56.380 --> 01:34:03.159
those platforms. It's crazy. It feels like yesterday

01:34:03.159 --> 01:34:06.380
we were wrapping up season one. I'm going to

01:34:06.380 --> 01:34:08.840
miss this. I do miss it. It's nice to have that

01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:12.300
off time. Much as you love hockey, I'll still

01:34:12.300 --> 01:34:14.500
talk about hockey day in, day out, every single

01:34:14.500 --> 01:34:18.920
day, 24 hours a day. I can't tell how often I'm

01:34:18.920 --> 01:34:22.119
talking to co -workers. I'm always talking. I

01:34:22.119 --> 01:34:23.859
don't have many co -workers that like hockey.

01:34:24.500 --> 01:34:26.659
My work is more football. Do you have anything

01:34:26.659 --> 01:34:32.039
to say, Otis? No. Come on, one final time. This

01:34:32.039 --> 01:34:34.119
might be your last time to be vocal on here.

01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:39.020
Well, that's a bad thing to say, no. I don't

01:34:39.020 --> 01:34:40.899
know. This is going to be your last time for

01:34:40.899 --> 01:34:45.220
a while. Got anything to say? No. It's coming

01:34:45.220 --> 01:34:49.260
until at least September, October. Yeah. As I

01:34:49.260 --> 01:34:52.359
know, we've got a lot of exciting things coming

01:34:52.359 --> 01:34:56.600
up here very soon. Obviously, excited for Season

01:34:56.600 --> 01:34:59.619
6. Season 6, we've got the draft coming up. We've

01:34:59.619 --> 01:35:01.199
got free agency coming up. But again, we might

01:35:01.199 --> 01:35:05.180
do an episode, like a very short 20 -minute,

01:35:05.220 --> 01:35:07.699
30 -minute episode. You know, mid -July to recap

01:35:07.699 --> 01:35:09.380
any, if there's a lot of big trades. Again, it

01:35:09.380 --> 01:35:12.739
all depends on how much signings, how many signings

01:35:12.739 --> 01:35:14.239
there are, how many trades there are to discuss.

01:35:14.659 --> 01:35:17.079
I know I think we did it in Season 2 and 3. I

01:35:17.079 --> 01:35:20.479
don't think we did it after Season 4. So I guess

01:35:20.479 --> 01:35:23.000
we'll wait and see if we do it after Season 5

01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:26.199
here. Again, it all depends on how much does

01:35:26.199 --> 01:35:31.069
go on. in this off -season. Maybe even wait to

01:35:31.069 --> 01:35:32.430
give it a full month. Maybe wait until the end

01:35:32.430 --> 01:35:34.170
of July and then we'll come together and see

01:35:34.170 --> 01:35:36.590
what we want to do. So then, first episode of

01:35:36.590 --> 01:35:39.069
season six isn't three and a half hours long.

01:35:42.109 --> 01:35:53.350
Yeah. I think that wraps up season five. Oh,

01:35:53.350 --> 01:35:58.960
yeah. Very long. This one felt longer. I think

01:35:58.960 --> 01:36:00.800
it's the latest we've ever ended the season.

01:36:01.060 --> 01:36:04.659
No, last year. I think season two, I think we

01:36:04.659 --> 01:36:07.699
were going into July. Yeah, we were like, we

01:36:07.699 --> 01:36:09.859
posted and a couple days later it was Independence

01:36:09.859 --> 01:36:13.460
Day. So, we're a week earlier than last year.

01:36:14.100 --> 01:36:17.899
So, thank Christ. It's time for a break, boys.

01:36:18.199 --> 01:36:20.300
As much as I love talking hockey, as much as

01:36:20.300 --> 01:36:22.359
I love doing this, not every week, but you know,

01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:26.069
bi -weekly or as much as we do it. A break is

01:36:26.069 --> 01:36:29.409
good. Everybody needs that break. It's going

01:36:29.409 --> 01:36:32.090
to be nice to have it. A lot of discussions to

01:36:32.090 --> 01:36:35.250
be had. Thank you guys so much. Like I said,

01:36:35.329 --> 01:36:38.250
almost 4 ,000 total all -time downloads across

01:36:38.250 --> 01:36:42.350
all platforms. Again, expanding to posting on

01:36:42.350 --> 01:36:47.069
YouTube now, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts. Probably

01:36:47.069 --> 01:36:49.069
the best thing we've done because we have, I

01:36:49.069 --> 01:36:51.989
think, gone up almost well over 1 ,000 this season

01:36:51.989 --> 01:36:55.579
alone, which is insane. Thank you guys very much.

01:36:56.140 --> 01:37:00.079
Can't wait to see you guys for Season 6. I would

01:37:00.079 --> 01:37:01.680
say keep an eye on our social medias, but again,

01:37:01.880 --> 01:37:04.060
like I said, this is probably going to be the

01:37:04.060 --> 01:37:05.939
one offseason we are not going to promise anything.

01:37:06.300 --> 01:37:08.680
It's probably going to be a very, very quiet

01:37:08.680 --> 01:37:11.680
offseason for us. Quietest offseason we're going

01:37:11.680 --> 01:37:14.680
to have since between Seasons 1 and 2. Probably.

01:37:15.220 --> 01:37:18.960
Maybe end of July we'll recap everything that

01:37:18.960 --> 01:37:20.819
happened. Again, we'll come together. We'll see

01:37:20.819 --> 01:37:23.770
what happens. with that. Maybe we'll post something

01:37:23.770 --> 01:37:26.569
whether we are going to or not with that. But,

01:37:26.609 --> 01:37:30.609
yeah, that about does it. And, uh, thank you

01:37:30.609 --> 01:37:35.350
guys. We will call it there. Yeah, thank you

01:37:35.350 --> 01:37:43.210
guys. See ya! Yeah, I'm done. Okay.
