  Speaker 1: NHL Unscripted is a production of the NHL and iHeart Podcasts.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Episode number eighty three.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Of NHL Unscripted perhaps one of our most unpredictable ones,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: as an absolutely shocking surprise, the Colorada Avalanche President Trophy
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: winners doused and swept. Overall, we'll get in all of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that involved in the Colorda Avalanche plus Hot to Trot's.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We'll get into that in our special guest, Cal Clutterbuck,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: one of the all time great names in hockey history.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Stories from Cal which will be awfully entertaining.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the heart attack in just a second,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But Jason Demursen Nate Thompson along for the ride as always, JD,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You're on NHL tonight last night, so you were forced
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to watch that game, whether or not you wanted to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: or not. As night fever, how's that for a headline?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights are heading to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final. If you're a leaf hater, this
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: is great news as Martyr is now in the Cup Final,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and perhaps the Habs are in there too. God, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: would be great just to cause so much Shadden freud
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: towards leaves fans. I saw you talking about the game
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and broadcasting it and saying, you know, the key really
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: was the pot battles.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Vegas wanted it more, they fought for it more. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: know Colorado was banged up.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I get it, McCart missed the first two games, mckinna
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: hurt in game three. But this is a stunning result.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I know, the President Trophy winners they lose. This happens
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: because it's a long no Ultimately, Vegas sweep shocking to me.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's hard to wrap my head around
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: it other than it's just more so. I keep drawing
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: comparisons to the twozenty twelve La Kings, where they kind
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of came in, limped into the platte and limp into
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. They won their last like eight or nine.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I remember talking to Brad Richardson about it, and they
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: just rolled through the playoffs and everybody was like, who
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the fuck is this team. They made a coaching change too,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Darryl Sutter came in, and you know, they've just owned
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the middle of the ice number one. But you look
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: last night, they're just wave after wave.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: They lean on you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: They're heavy and honestly they got a goaltender that peaked
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: at the right time.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: You know, Carter Harten. Round one was just okay, but he's.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Gotten better and better, and he is like he is
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: painting his Picasso right now out there on the ice,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: because you know, say what you want, but he's playing
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: one hell of a playoffs and Torts is pushing all
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the right buttons. They've also gotten some luck with injuries,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, versus the Colorado Avalanche that have not
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: had that same luck. But I just it's if I'm Colorado,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of today, probably sitting with the guys having
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: drinks or something, and you're just like, what the what happened?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: What happened in that series? We just couldn't get any
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: goal scoring from our secondary guys, get bad injuries, give
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: up one bad goal of game, and see it frickin later.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: The Kings are dead. Long live the Kings, Long live
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the Knights.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's well said, and again the Torrella storyline is irresistible.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Nate nineteen four to one under Torts.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But you guys know, I mean, I respect the coach,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure Torts has done a good job and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Cassidy probably wore these guys down, but all through the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: players step up. So I'm with JD given props and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Mitch Marna and Carter Hart and the fact that against
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the Avs he allowed only seven goals one hundred and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: twenty five shots nine to forty four to st eight percentage.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You know him from the time of the Flyers, Nate.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But the more interesting aspect is indeed Colorado. I mean,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: they have the best record in the league all season.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You get cadri walk cool like the deadline, you sweep LA,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you beat Minnesota in five, you look ready to go
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: against Vegas, and Nate just goes down returns in Game four.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I get it. Chooskin banged up as well.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But once again the twenty twelve, twenty thirteen Blackhawks the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: last President's Trophy winner to hoist the Stanley Cup. For Colorado,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's a colossal disappointment. And where do you go from here?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I think always would agree Bednar is a good coach,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but this is like an incredibly disappointing result for them.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: It is. It's it's shocking.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: You know, we've expected to wake up today and probably
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: say Colorado swept the Vegas Golden Knights. If we were
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: going to initially guess that and now we're in this
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: position and took JD's credit. Like the defensive masterpiece that
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: Vegas has put on throughout this playoffs and especially against Colorado,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: like they I think they had one shot over like
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: twenty five minutes in game four, and you're seeing how
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: good they are defensively, and I think for Colorado it's,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: you know, it's literally what could.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Have gone wrong went wrong for them.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: You know, I think Minnesota got a chunk out of
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: them a little bit, you could say, with yeah, mccar
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: getting hurt and some guys being banged up, and you're
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: just kind of seeing, I guess how important cale mccarr
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: was to color Avalanche because it was it happens quick,
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: it does unfortunately in these series sometimes where you go
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: down on one or two games and all of a sudden,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: the series is over, and you know, you look at
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: it after game one, it was that was kind of it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: You know, they had this momentum Vegas has had in
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: this buzz saw that they've ran into, and I think
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: for Colorado moving forward, I mean, you have a bunch
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: of guys at the Calee mccar's twenty twenty eight sorry,
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: you know, McKinnon's thirty. I mean, these guys are getting
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: a little bit older, but they still have their core
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: group of guys. I don't know how much you can
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: really change because of how successful they were this year.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: You still have your nucleus of players and guys that
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: you move, that you moved to get traded for, so
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: you know it is. It's a huge disappointment for calling
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: out knowing that it was cup or bust, But for Vegas, man, Vegas,
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: baby Vegas.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I think, I mean, I think that aging corps a
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: little bit with Landeskog and Kadre and Nelson, I mean
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Nelson one goal in the playoffs. Marty Natchis probably is
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the bigger disappointment over got paid a hefty sum, a
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: bag of money, only one goal in the playoffs. That's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: not enough. You're not gonna win with that, regardless of
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the cars in or out. You got to get scoring.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: They got to step up. But I yeah, I just
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: think they're Vegas is just built very well. And I
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: think the return of William Carlson cannot be said enough
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: how it open opened up Tomash Hurtle, and it also
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: just it created such a deep center group and again,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: they just that lasts like two minutes of the game
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: when they're just defending so hard. It's a they put
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: on a masterclass.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Jack Eichland, Mark Stone, who you know.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I think towards set of Jack Eikel's the best two
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: and or foot player in the game. And other than
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Sasha Barkov, I think that's one spot on when he
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: wants to be he is fucking impossible to stop.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it's it's it's.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Gonna be tough for I think Carolina might be the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: only team that can do it with their style.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I think it. I just don't.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I think Montreal makes it through by some shape or
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: form ad the end that they're gonna get absolutely balked
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: like a dog against Vegas.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: One last thought of this, Serason, We'll move on, JD.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: If you're the Avalanche, would you make a change in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: net or do you think Jared Bednar is in the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: hot seat?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Either of those?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think a little bit all of the above.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I think they're really going to look at again, they're
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: they're an organization that doesn't sit out, so I don't
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: think Look, Brent Burns is gone, Josh Manson's getting older,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and at times did not look great in the series.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Do you move those two big trees? Malinsky struggled mightily
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: in the in the in the third round, did not
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: play good whatsoever. The Wedgwood and Blackwood tandem, it was good,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: but they gave up one soft one every game. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and then I thought there was some moments that Bednar
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: did not make a good He didn't make a good decision.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: The way he altered things, I don't know if there
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: was really an adjustment. I know they they did play
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: well in certain games and just couldn't get a bounce,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: But I don't know, Like I think Bednar for sure
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: is going to.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Be on the hot seat.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: But I think there's a lot of question more question
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: marks than I think people realize with Colorado, because I
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: heard Eric Johnson talking the other day and I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: know if it was on McAfee or spitting chickens, but
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: he's like the windows open, but like it's slowly, they're
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: closing it slowly, So there's still on that window, but
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: it's next year is going to be uh, put up
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: or shut up for him?
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So that's the story with the guards to Vegas. Meantime,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: for Carolina are they legit or are they a fugazi?
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Nate.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: On the one hand, as a Wednesday morning, ten to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: one in these playoffs, including four known overtime. They got
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: both of their wins in the East Final against Montreal
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in OT and the Haves still don't have a shot
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in overtime in the series. Carolina hasn't been this close
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to the Cup finals since they won the whole damn
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: thing in six. On the other hand, they've been criticized
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the level of competition they've faced in the playoffs so far,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and their top scorer Sebastianaho three goals andres Feeshta got
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: two goals, including the OT winning game three.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Seth Jarvis just two goals. So how about it, Nate.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Is Carolina a legit power or is this an overrated
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: team that needs over him to beat lesser opponents.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: No, this is a legit team, and they've been really
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: they've been taking it to Montreal, and Montreal's teams seems
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: to keep finding ways. And I was at the game,
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: and you know it was it was obviously a close game,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: but I mean for Montreal, I mean they didn't have
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: a shot for it was a long time, a really
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: long time, and granted, you know they had a couple
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: of shots in overtime one. You know, Nick Suzuki misses
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: the net, Mathison hits the post. But you know, Carolina,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: the way they play their system, you know, they play
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: it to a t and I think it doesn't matter
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: who's in their lineup. And you mentioned the guy, especially
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Craft Jarvis, these guys that only have a couple of goals.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I think that in its point right there shows how
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: good this team is and how they're getting different guys
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: to score, and how they play and how they're making
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: it hard in Montreal.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Like Montreal, they're.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Having a tough time breaking out at times because of
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: the over overpowering for check of Carolina and the way
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: they play on top of them. So Montreal, I mean,
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: they're gonna have to make some adjustments. I thought last
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: game that there's just too many times where they where
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: they would get the puck in their D zone and
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: try and find a different play, try to break the
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: puck out, tape to tape passes where sometimes against Carolina,
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: man you've got to live to fight another day and
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: you know, maybe get the pucking behind him and use
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: their game against them. I think Montreal for you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: for a game, for the next game, you know, they're
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: gonna have to obviously in the big part of it,
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: they're gonna have to get more shots.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: They're not a team that is like Carolina where they
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: have high shot volume. But for them to get chances,
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: to get looks, to make plays, they're gonna have to
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: establish a shot and they can't just get twelve a
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: game to be successful against Carolina.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Mistap smetch Nick on.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: They're in trouble because that first line had their best
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: game of the playoffs, sketch Aho and Jarvis and he
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: especially Cops scores the game winner. No, I think Carolina
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: finally adjusted and they've kind of Rod's been, you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: banging his head against the wall for years. Our system
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: will win eventually. But after Game one, when they were
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: pinching all over the ice, they made an adjustment that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: no one's made against Montreal. And they've kept three guys
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: in the middle, not three guys in the middle. They've
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: kept their third guy high above the Montreal forwards while
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: they're still pinching with two guys pinching hard, and it's
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: created havoc for Montreal. Montreal can't break out clean. They're
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a little bit because Montreal has been that classic counter
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: punch team and they just wait for you to kind
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: of overpressure them.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: And they got so much skill.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Carolina took that away and it has been a tilting
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: of the momentum, like it's crazy. So Montreal's gonna have
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to adjust right back. They've done it in every series,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: so I expect to wrinkle out of Montreal tonight.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: But I just don't know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I think the only line that's been treading water has
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: been the top line. Every single other lines get absolutely
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: dominated statistically, analytically by Carolina in every fast and I
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: just think if that first line starts going for Carolina,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: there are other three lines that played amazing hockey Eelers
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: is flying.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, that Haull line is incredible.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: That's their first line, and I just can't see it, man,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: unless Freddy Anderson has a aneurysm and and starts playing
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: like Freddy from Toronto. But if he stays like this
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: at all, I think it's I think it might be
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: in five. My man might be in five for our
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: habby talents. I but I keep doubting these guys and
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: they keep proving me wrong, and I'm about to get
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: my citizenship revoked because of this from Canada. But I
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: just I want it to happen. I want to play
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: that song. I want to play that song again.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It is a great cham cal clo. And he's gonna
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: make a Tom Green reference to road Trip. Speaking of Freddy,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Freddy got fingered. Perhaps that'll be the.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Story Jesus finger banging, remember the move finger banging?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Tom Green movie? Yeah, Ripped Torn was great.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And let's talk further about Montreal JD and Lane Hudson
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a huge piece for Montreal this season.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: But how do you attack young defenseman?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You make it ugly, go physical at him, hit to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: his leg from Taylor Hall and overtime in game two,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: left limping efforts, didn't like to hit from home and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in Game three, high elbow from William Carryer moments later
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: giving up that puck to turn release to special the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: cops ot winner. Hudson took the blame for the loss
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: after the game, though you could make the point he
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be an overtime let him and his goal tying
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it for on the second. But as a young player
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: clearly being targeted, what does Hudson do how she react
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to this.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's just it's more of a downscreen
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: from the forward group giving him some time, buy him
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: some time. You got to let him be able to move.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: They've been all over him. I still think he's battled hard.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: He's exceeded all expectations in the playoffs.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Lane.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I think Lane cannot hang his head one bit.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: That was a big turnover. But I don't know where
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: slapcoff Ski was going on that play. He kind of
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: was just fading away from him, and I think Lane
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: was waiting for him to take the puck because Lane
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: had been on the ice for a long time and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: he took a carrier William carrier forearm to the fucking
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: dome piece that got. That wasn't called Naton, that was
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: That was a penalty, even though you're not trying to
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: call penalties in the playoffs. In an overtime, that was
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a two minute especially at that point. And then they
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: go and score after that. So I think he's been great.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: He's got nothing to be sad about, you know. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: think the other guys and his team need to pick
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: it up big time.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: I think the.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Dcors showed up pretty well for for Montreal.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: In this series so far, Dobson struggled a bit, but
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: everyone else has showed up. But Nate, I think it's
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: got to be the the four lines up front.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: They need to they need to go here. It needs
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: to be their time.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: A glaring shot disparity as well, Nate, it should be said,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, No, He's right, it's got to be everyone. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: I do think no adopts this guy has to come
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: to the forefront a little bit more too. Yeah, he
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: made a good play last game. I got called back,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: but he's he's another guy. Like being in the building,
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: you're seeing how much like every time they get a
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: chance to take a chunk out of lane, they do
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: it every time, whether it's whether it's a hit they
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: that's out of play, they're they're take they're taking a
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: hit on They're making it hard on him every single
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: time he's on the ice.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: And he's fighting through it. He's having to.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: And I thought last game was maybe the first time
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: that you know, in third period overtime that the Habs
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: looked a little ghasted. They look like they ran out
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: of they ran out of steam. And I think part
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: of that when when you run out of steam, the
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: brain goes and mistakes happen, and that's what happens. So
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: they're going to have to bounce back tonight or bounce forward.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Martine Saint Luis would.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Say, exactly what happen.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: They need it, Yes, I want.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: It, No fun.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: First, JD. What's what he's saying?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, tell us you have a heart out?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Can you translate what that means? What the kids saying?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: It's I couldn't like I could translate it, but it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: it's like kind of a random song, but it's just
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: about like it's about like hunting with family and stuff,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: and it's it's just kind of a folks folksy song.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: There.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: There is a English translation going around on Twitter.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: You can find it Cal. But the kid's name is like.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Jean Lejon there something like create just some French guy
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: from that Beau Samian Deep in the Woods makes it
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: even better.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Let's hopefully we'll hear more of that jam with the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: bell Setter if the Haves try to bounce back in
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: game four. Coming up next, Cal Clutterbuck our special guest
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Thomas Hickey, my friend in colleague on Amazon Prime. I asked
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: for a scouting report on Cal he said, clutter has
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: a dry sense of humor, very witty, very funny, very grumpy.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: He was very good. He's coming up after this on
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: NHL in scripted.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Our next guest was drafted in the third round, seventy
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: second over brawl by the Minnesota While in the two
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: thousand and six NHL Draft. He would go in to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: collect one hundred and forty three goals and two or
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: ninety three points in one thousand and sixty four career
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: games with the Wild and Islanders. He remains the all
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: time NHL leader in hits with Fourenty twenty nine, a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: first ballot inductee in the Sports Mustache Hall of Fame,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and a riverside veteran.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Welcome, Cal Clutterbuck, great to see you.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Thanks for having me, fellas. It's gonna be fun.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, we're gonna get into your career in all the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: great stories that you have for us. But you've been
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: working on the media side since you're towering last year.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: What'd you make of these Conference finals? The fact that
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights swept the Colorado.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Avalanche kind of a shocker, right, I mean, you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: I think after watching Game one and then again in
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Game two. I think I think I became a believer
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: in the Knights. I always felt like they were kind
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: of underachieving this year along the way. Obviously coaching change
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: late in the year controversial, obviously the right move. That
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: team just has the capability, they have, the horses, they
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: have the they have the pedigree. So it's all starting
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: to come out now. And I'm not sure they surprised
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: the Abs or not, but just the way that they
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: were playing so tight, weren't really given McKinnon and any
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: of those guys any room to breathe, and really it
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: was really suffocating. It was It was interesting to watch
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: a team like Colorado, you know, so adept offensively, so
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: adept at creating just kind of get shut down like that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: So really really interesting series for me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Vegas is kind of put in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: blueprint of how to win. And I think if you're
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: any organization, like you know, we work with the Islanders,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: and you get to see Matthew Shaeffer and these guys
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: who's going to have a long career in the in
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the finals, sorry, in the finals, in the playoffs. But
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: you know, I just wanted to ask you quickly about
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Matthew Shaeffer, because you know, Jordan Schmaltz said famously on
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: NHL Network that he came into training camp, pulled his
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: wrench out and told all the guys jump on. So
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: seeing him up close with MSG like, is he that
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: big dick energy? You don't have to answer that, but
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: you can answer just how high is this kid ceiling?
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know. I'll have to sneak into the
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: showers to get a look at his ranch. I haven't
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: been in a couple of years. I'm gonna have to
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: just pretend to have to go take a leak just
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: when he's in there, just to kind of take a feek.
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: But no, I mean, listen, it was that type of thing. Ironically, metaphorically,
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: it's probably correct. And he came in. You know, I'll
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: never forget. I was in the room getting something. I
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: think I was getting my skates sharpened or something to
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: go play Men's League and he was in there, a
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: rookie camp and I saw him from across the room
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: and he walked over and kind of dabbed me up
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: and was like, Hey, what's up? Man, can't wait to,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: you know, hang out, And I was like, okay, you
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: know as an eighteen year old, like I would have
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: never done that, I don't think to a veteran. But
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: it was a good thing, you know, it was It
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: was good. He came over and and I just remember
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: feeling like this is different, and everyone kept saying he's different.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: You didn't know how it was going to translate on
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: the ice. I honestly expected there to be some some
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: growing pains. Maybe maybe there were throughout the year, like
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: a little bit, but like on his standard, I mean,
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: the home opener was ridiculous. He I mean even the
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: first game in Pittsburgh he played great, but the home
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: opener when the place was kind of stale and you
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: kind of thought yourself, this is going to be the
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: same Islander team and the building's going to be dead
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: here for the whole year. And then he goes and
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: slides in on one knee and Pokes went in the
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: power play from the point like a spear fishing job,
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: and everyone went crazy and it was like all right,
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: he got up and like did the junior seally along
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: the glass, and you were like, okay, there's different. There's
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: a different energy to this place, and it only it
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: only got better.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, cal I mean this.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: He is special for sure, and then you know, you
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: go to his do you think his buddy and your
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: old teammate, Matt Martin had something to do with some
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: of his success and was there any were there any
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: moments or scenarios that you have with Marty and Shafe
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: during the season.
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: I spent a lot of time with the two of
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: them throughout the year. Marty obviously a close friend of mine.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: I think for Matthew, I think he's such a family
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: orientated kid that going into that scenario, and you got
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: to give him a lot of credit as much as
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: you've got to give them the Martins a lot of credit.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: He just embraced it. I mean, they've got four kids
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: under five. He's at the rink all day. He's doing
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: you know the extra stuff that that phenoms do, you know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: the stuff that people don't see. Commercials, interviews, hospital visits.
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: You get to see clips of them. But he's busy
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: all day and then he gets home and and you
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: see those clips to him running around the kitchen with
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: with the girls and they've got, you know, twin boys
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: that are like eleven months old now, so that house
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: is full. But he's just that type of kid that
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: seems to seems to thrive in that environment. He just
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: I think he felt taken care of, and I think
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: in turn, he you know, he's you got to remember
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: he's he is just a kid. He was able to
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: be a kid in that house. I think it would
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: have been a different year for him had he been
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: going back to a to an apartment by himself sitting there.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: You know, it just it's it's much different. And you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: to the point where I don't know if he's gonna leave,
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: Like he might just live in the basement until he
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: has his own kids.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I would I.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't either his girlfriend.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: His girlfriend's gonna be like, two, you gotta get out.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: He who We've been together for ten.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Years, dude, it's it is gonna be that situation. It's like,
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: at what point are we going to get our own place?
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: But no, he's Uh. They were great for him, obviously,
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: great family, good friend of mine Marty and Sid and
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: but again he needed that family environment and he really
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: thrived in it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Cal you came from well and Ontario, famously gave us
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: other NHL players of Daniel Pie, Dan Girardi and the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: great Paul Bissonett. What was it like coming up with
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: those guys in well and Ontario.
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: Ah, well, this was a little different than the rest obviously, No,
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: but believe it or not, he wasn't he was not
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: bus nasty back then. He was he was square, he
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: was shy, he was kind of a brown noser, so
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: you know, he was different. Uh and then he went
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: to Wheeling, West Virginia and everything changed, but uh, you
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: know he Uh, those guys were great. It was really
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: good for me because you could see those guys taking
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: steps in front of you, like three years in front
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: of me, two years in front of me, Matt Ellis
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: and Jamie tardterf a couple of guys who got close
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: as well Andre Debou. There was a big group of us.
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: You get to skate with them a little. You can
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: see how they train, and you can see it's possible.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: So you see a guy that's going graduating at every
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: level that you're graduating, and so you try and just
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: keep yourself in line with those guys in order to
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: get to where you want to go. But you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: it would have it would have been a lot more
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: difficult if I didn't have if I didn't have someone
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: to look at that was close to me in age
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: that that I kind of knew able to do it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: I think there's there's more doubt in your mind where
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: you don't know somebody or don't see somebody doing it
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: just a little bit older than you. So I have
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: a lot of give a lot of credit to those guys.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cal, you know, you've had such a great career,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: and you know the sometimes the second career is the
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: hardest to define for an athlete. You know, you're trying
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: to figure it out. And I feel like you slid
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: nicely into into media.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Was there ever a struggle with that?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: And you know, is there any has there been any
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: kind of things that surprised you a little bit with it?
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Because it is tough once you retire to kind of
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: red like I said, redefine yourself.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: And you've done a great job.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: So it's it's what has kind of been the struggles
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: of that and and what has been like you felt
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: that's maybe went more smoothly for you than you thought.
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: I wasn't I wasn't really ever expecting to do it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: I was probably that guy who when I was playing
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: like would would have been like, you won't catch me
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: dad doing that? So I'm I'm definitely a hypocrite sitting
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: here today after doing it for a couple of years.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So many nerds in media look at that, and then
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: very nerds.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: In media, and then look at me now sitting here
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: answering questions about being a member of the media. So,
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: you know what, though, it really was for me. The
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: easiest part for me was when I first started. I
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: started as a guest on a pregame show, and it
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: was no pressure. I just kind of treated it like
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: it was an interview or like it was a pod cast,
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: and you know it was. It went well because I've
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: done so many interviews and I've done things like that,
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: and cameras don't really bother me, you know, you know
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: how it is. JD and Nate like you guys, you're
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: used to the camera. You clear that hurdle before you
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: even start. I think for a lot of people not
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: being used to cameras, there's a certain amount of nerves
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: that comes with when those lights could turn on, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: I didn't really have that. That was the easy part,
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: and then the hard part was as you evolve from
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: a guest to a regular and then you go from
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: being a pregame show to between the benches guy, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: then you go sit in the first chair. So the
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: evolution of that requires just a little bit different cadence,
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: a little bit different timing, and probably for me, the
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: biggest one was my energy, so my sort of annunciation,
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: my pronunciation, especially between the benches, because it's a little
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: harder here because you're kind of mixed in with game sound.
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: You have to be emphatic when you make your calls
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: a little bit out of my comfort zone because I'm
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: a pretty monotone regular speed guys. So I had to
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: sort of learn how to add some inflection and get
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: excited about it. And that was the hardest part for
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: me at the beginning is you know, you're a player.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: You know that there's a game that might be over,
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: but there's a play that happens. Let's say the Islanders
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: are down four to one or you know, three to one,
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: but you can see how the game's trending, and you're like,
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: this is an exciting for Islander fans. And then they
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: score one late to get in and Brendan Burk's like
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: and the Islanders come within one, and I'm like, yeah,
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: nice play by Horrorbat. And there's a couple of moments,
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: a couple of moments like that, you know, where I
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: was just like I kind of didn't I wasn't able
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: to sort of rise to the to the energy level.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: But just a couple of quick notes from a producer
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: and then you know, you start to like just you
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: go over the top what I think is over the top,
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: and then I get a note say that's perfect. So
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: then you just kind of stick with that talk a
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: little louder and things like that. And just for me,
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: the amount of work, like doing the pregame show, the
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: between the benches, the intermissions, and the post game is
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: a lot of running around and it's a lot of
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: it's different styles, so you're mixing in a studio show,
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: running right to in game commentary, running up the stairs
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: to do you know studios. So a lot of a
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: lot of kind of switching gears. But it's been a
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: lot of fun, and I just continue to try and
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: get better. And uh, I've got a great team there
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: in New York of you know, Thomas and Brendan and
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Channon do a really good job. So I was lucky.
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: I was lucky to uh, I've been lucky to be
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: able to work with them.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, cal This will follow up with that is is
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: there any analysts or guys that you watch just to
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: kind of go off of and and and why is
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: it not Biz?
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: One thing I will say about One thing I will
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: say about Biz is that he's worked really hard. And
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: if you watch him, aside from the the Tom foolery,
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: he's worked really hard at getting his hockey analysis. You know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: I think what he says, he says it in a
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: Biz way, but a lot of what he says, you know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: makes a lot of sense. I think he has good takes. Yeah,
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: And so I think he's at that. You know, I
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: think he watches hockey. I think he pays attention. I
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: think he genuinely asked questions to the guys he's working with.
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: I hear stories about him. When he was working with
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: Rick Taki, they would spend time talking about the game.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: And so I have to give him a lot of
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: credit for that. And then you have to give him
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: credit for for letting his personality carry him. You know,
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: he's he does something different than everyone and that's why
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: he's in the position that he's in, and so you
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: got to give him give him credit on both sides
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: of that. But he does a good job of balancing that,
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: I think these days, but you know, I always liked
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: watching the older guys. I think Ray Ferraro is probably
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: the one that has a kind of perfect mix of
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: energy and passion for the game and knowledge of the players,
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: but also just calling the play as it is, but
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: but from a hockey players from a former player's, you know, mindset.
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: He does a really good job. I really like Eddie,
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: ol Chick and boush together, obviously for different reasons. I
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: think for for me, those two play off each other
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: very well, and Thomas and I obviously for the Islanders
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: are probably going to be in those two positions for
• 29:10
  Speaker 8: a couple of years. So just sort of learning from
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: from Boushe on when you know one to when to
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: come in, and then you know Eddie using them for
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: different things, different perspectives, and they're on nationally, so you watch,
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: you watch a lot of those guys, and you know
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: that come that kind of becomes the standard, right I mean,
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: you those guys have been doing it for so long.
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: They do a great joke.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I echo the positive thoughts for Thomas Sicky. Of course
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: my team at an Amazon Prime, so you guys are
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: definitely terrific together. Cal let's talk specifically about you your
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: port to Houston the HL as the youngest player on
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the team. You score on your first shot on your
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: first shift in your first pro game, cockumust of felt easy.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Easy game.
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Well the problem was was the HL not the NHL,
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: so it didn't matter. I only scored.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: I think I only scored twelve times that year, So
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: it was uh. It was a fast and furious art
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: and some learning curves in the middle, but uh, yeah, no,
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: Houston was was good. That was kind of a shell shock.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: That's you know, that's the first year where you're on
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: your own.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: I was young enough coming out of junior and moving
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: out of a bill at home into Houston, Texas, one
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: of the biggest largest cities in America. Totally different, uh,
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: demographic than I was used to in Oshawa, Ontario. So
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: it was a fun year for me to get to
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: to experience the US and not only the US, you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: the southern United States and and of course the travel
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: that comes along with playing in Houston in the h
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: L when all the teams you play against in your
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: division are based out of Chicago. So you know, it
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: was a lot of a lot of flying, a lot
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: of Delta miles, United miles, a lot of early bus rides,
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: a lot of late nights, but really good for sort
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: of getting you used to you know, long NHL seasons.
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: And you know, we we had an average team, but
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: it was a lot of fun and uh I had
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: I had a good time.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: You had a nice cast the characters too, And and
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I know we both played with Brent Burns and to
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: watch him still playing is just an absolute frickin marvel man.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: And you know, did you ever expect to see him
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: get this far and be and kind of reinvent them
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: himself so many different times? I feel like as a player,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: but you know what what's but and also as a personality,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: like do you have a fond memory of Burnsy and
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: being around him and Minnie?
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah? I have a couple my wife that my I
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: was going to tell a story about my wife doing
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: a front flip off of his like nine foot rock
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: face in his pool and landing like face first in
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: front of one hundred people. So that's basically the story.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: I basically had to swim to the bottom of the
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: pool the grabber because she was so embarrassed. She didn't
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: want to come up. She was just gonna stay down there,
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: but burns y.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: The one I always tell people is is is the
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: snake story. He had like an eight foot you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: a banana python in the basement. I would go over
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: there and hang out, and he asked me one time
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: if I wanted to feed the python because it was
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: feeding time, and you know, you could picture me like
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: like Tom Green and road trip, just like is it
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: time for the feeding yet? Is it time for the
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: So we go into the freezer. We grab like an
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: eight pound frozen rabbit. He goes and smacks it on
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: the concrete a couple of times, and I'm like, what
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: are you doing. He's like, gotta bloody it up a
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: little or he won't eat it. So he's like put
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: the glove on, and then you gotta shake it. You know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: you got to shake it in the cage because you
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: got to eat the snake's gotta think. He's like, you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: chasing something that's alive. So I got my hand in
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: the cage shaking this eight pound rabbit, and the thing
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: like circles around and comes over slowly and then just
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: like wax it and then it starts just taking it down,
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: you know, the jaw on hinges, and this rabbit just disappears.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: I'm sitting there watching and I was like, that's crazy,
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: and he's just like, yeah, he's good for like a
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: month and a half, six weeks, So it'll take him
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: to get through that thing and I'll feed him in
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: you know, another month. This is crazy. He had like
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: he had so many of them. They were in drawers.
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: That guy got out one time. They found him like
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: three days later, wrapped around the water heater. So interesting, yeah, interesting.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Time, my god. Yeah, yeah, for three days.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: He didn't care. It was just like, oh, whatever, where
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: it'll be somewhere, we'll find it. Big dog just just
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: wrapped around the water here. Uh, he's done. He's He's
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: got so many cool quirky things. But to his to
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: his uh you know, his longevity, I think like this
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: strength in him and his and his youthful mind. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: I say youthful mind in a positive and negative way,
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: because he's like a nine year old, you know him, right,
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: He's yeah, he had but he has the energy of
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: the of a child. He doesn't have the same he
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: doesn't have the same issues that we all had as
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: we got older, like, oh my god, I gotta do
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: this again. He's just like he wakes up, bounces out
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: of bed, probably at six thirty like a you know,
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: like my eight year old son does. And he's just like,
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: do I have a hockey game today? Yeah, let's go,
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: you know. And he takes care of himself obviously strong
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: as an ox and uh has always taken good care
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: of himself, and obviously it's gone to another level over
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: the last couple of years with the backpack and all
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: the stuff. But I think it's his brain. I think
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: it's just his positive outlook on it and his his
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: sort of youthful exuberance that he's never allowed kind of
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: to leave him, which is the most impressive thing for me.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think he's done either. I think he's
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: going to keep going.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: The wife sus I don't know, kind of Susan's getting
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: close to the end of the road.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Susan's definitely might squeak out one more.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: But we'll see.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: I guess you you know, when you get to the
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: Islanders cal you know, I was a fourth line guy
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: and you played with Matt Martin.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: It was the best fourth line in the league.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: You know, talk about your guys' chemistry and and how
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: fast it took you guys to be a force out there.
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I got traded there. I got there in twenty
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: thirteen in the summer. And that first year we didn't
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: play together. I think they were playing with Colin McDonald
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: at the time, so there was c mac. I was
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: playing kind of kind of on the third line. We
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: did not have a great year after they the Islanders
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: had made the playoffs in that shortened lockout season for
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: the first time in a long time, so there was
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: high expectations. We didn't make the playoffs that first year.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: We came back the following year and we had some
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: younger guys. Ryan Strom was coming in brock Nelson's rookie
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: year andrews Lee as well, so the team kind of
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: took on a little different shape. And like Jack Capiano
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: came up to me one time and he's like, I
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: think I'm gonna try you with with Casey and Marty
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: and and I said, yeah, no problem. He said, if
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: it works out, I'm gonna use you guys more than
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: I typically would. So don't you know, just go and
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: do your thing. You know, I think you can. You
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: guys would be good together. We all had different sort
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: of skill sets, and we all had one sort of
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: constant theme. We all kind of played the game with
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: the same level of kind of pace at the time
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: in mindset. So we started and it just it went well.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: You know, I think the first first game we had,
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: we kind of want to face off to start the game,
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: dumped it in. You know, we've seen the movie a
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: thousand times already, to go in get a hit. I'd
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: go to they go D to D. I'd go hit
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: the other defenseman in case you would get over top
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: a couple couple of point shots twenty five second shift,
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: the goalie would freeze the puck the coliseum, we'd be
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: going crazy. We'd skate off. We did our job, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: we just kind of kept going from there. But it
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: really evolved. We played together for so long, it really
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: evolved to the point where we could go out there
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: and play against other teams, like really top players, and
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: we did that, you know, kind of just chipping away
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: at their best defenseman, chipping away at their best forwards.
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: In this a couple of playoff series against Pittsburgh, we
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: played against it a lot. He didn't do a whole
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: lot so we really had the ability to go out
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: there and give our offensive guys to the freedom to
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: go out and play offense against you know, bottom bottom
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: six lines on the other team. I think it was
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: a big advantage for us. And obviously the physical element.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: I think we were just really good at setting the tone.
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: You know, as they say in choresy, he's got to
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: set the tone. We would go out there for.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: A shift to set very bulldogs that's right. So we
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: were really very bulldog line.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: We were the gym's the gyms so good. Yeah, this
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: is the gym's.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Uh cal Loula Morella comes the Islanders, immediately imposes anti
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: facial hair rules and I have a great deal of
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: respect for lou always accomplished in hockey, but I never
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: really understood these types of rules. How rough was it
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: for you having to shave on the sweetest stashes in
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the NHL?
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: It was a It was an adjustment period for me.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: Even the beard liked. I like having a beard and
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: trying to be trying to be an intimidated, intimidating guy
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: out there. You know, I wasn't that intimidating for clean
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: shaven with a homet on. Honestly, look at the photos
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: of those seven or eight years and the young guys
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: who came in must have been like, man, what a pussy.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: And with a neck crash too.
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, just raspberry neck out there, just you know, chin
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: strap just irritating me every single morning. But it was,
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: you know, it's one of those rules where obviously our
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: team sort of took on, uh, you know, the the
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: ultimate Lou sort of aura that was kind of the Islanders.
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: We were so predictable but very hard to beat. And
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: you know, we we had some good years with Low
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: and he really does know how to instill, you know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: a culture in a group of guys with not that
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: we really needed it, but we needed it. We needed
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: a boost and a reminder constantly. And he's he keeps
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: the standard. You know, we kind of had a standard
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: for ourselves and he elevated it just a little bit.
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: And then he brought Barry in, so things went from
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: being slightly less professional on Long Island to very legit,
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: very professional, very very structured.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, what is it about Lou?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Is it the fact that he's there every day and
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: you just always see him and he's on the road
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: and or is it just the because there are guys
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: that like him, and I think most guys that have
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: had that have played for him or under him. Is
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: kind of has some positive things to say at times.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's just he's misunderstood, but
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: I know the hard ass side of him is really
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: one of those things that it's you have to be
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: a part of the organization to really see what he
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: does day in and day out.
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it looks hard. It looks like a hard ass
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: from the outside. I even thought the same thing before
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: he came. I was like, Oh, it's just it's gonna
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: be more difficult, like we're gonna have somebody you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: up your ass all the time. And it's really not
• 39:44
  Speaker 8: like that. It's like the rules. He doesn't really have rules.
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: It's just like be a good teammate, be a good
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: human being, be on time, like all the things, and
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: shake your face and it's just it's just a self
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: respect thing. And I think for for pros who are pros,
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: like you know, you do TV and you're like, this
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: guy's been a pros pro for a long time. Whether
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: he has to shave or he doesn't shave, he's going
• 40:07
  Speaker 8: to do it because that's just who a pro is.
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: I think he does it for the guys who are
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: learning to be pros. It's just another thing, it's another checkbox.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: It's like to make your bed situation. You know, you
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: hear a lot of these former special Ops guys and
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: it starts with a very minute, basic task. But if
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: you do it consistently every day, your day starts off
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: in a positive way. So that's that's that was the
• 40:28
  Speaker 8: impetus behind that. But for lou what's great about louis
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: you're always taken care of and you have to worry
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: about nothing but playing hockey. So like you know, a
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: lot of teams will have casino knights and they'll have
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: you know, uh, season ticket holder events, and not that
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: those aren't great, but when you're in the middle of
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: a season and you come off an eight game road
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: trip and you've got a Monday off and you have
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: to go be a you know, casino night at six pm,
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: it's difficult. We just played hockey and the fans didn't
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: like it, but it was the best thing for us
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: at the time. We were such so focused as a
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: group and it was one of those things where he
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: is always there. He's he's always around, even when you're
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: chit chatting about something and then you get the eyeballs
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: from your teammate who's sitting on the trainer's table, like
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: looking at you, like he's standing round. Yeah, he's standing
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: over your shoulder. So it was he always is around.
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: And so the good thing about that is that you
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: know that he's the first guy there in the morning
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: and he's the last guy to leave, so he's working
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: more than anyone else is working. So he upholds that
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: standard first, so nobody can say anything to him about that.
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: And then he really takes care of you like he
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: you know, if he says, you know, if you get
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: yourself in trouble, come to me first. I don't want
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: you to lie. That's that's the big one. Just don't
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: lie to me, tell me what happened, and we'll figure
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: it out. But you know, his uh, he really took
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: care of us. And you realize once you play for
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: him that that's why people love him. Things are taken
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: care of. You get your opportunities if if, if you
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: earn them, and and you don't have to worry about
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: anything but playing hockey.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: How often would you get a warning about your facial hair?
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: Did he ever tell you hey, like it's it's just
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: that you to bring it down a little bit.
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: Never got a Warner, never.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: Got pros pro.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: Keep it to the wood, pros pro, keep.
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: It to the wood, keep it down to the Randy Wood.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: Cal you were. You were a guy.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: You were known for, you know, your physicality, but also
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: being able to chirp your opponents. And I know I
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: was chirped a few times by you. Was it was
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: that part of your game. Was that something that you
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: know got you into the game and and you know
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: made you uh, like I said, dialed into the game.
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I was. I mean, especially early in my career,
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: was like, I uh, I don't know, That's just how
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: I played. I was very competitive. It's part of my competitiveness.
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: And I just always liked I like talking a lot.
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: Later in my career, there was really no one to
• 42:53
  Speaker 8: talk to because you know, guys wouldn't be able to respond.
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: You like, you used to have a couple of guys
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: in every team you could have some fun with. Later
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: in there weren't a lot There weren't a lot of
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: guys really to have a conversation with out there and
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: so and then a lot of guys you played against
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: for so long that it's like we can't just keep
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: doing the same song and dance. So you just go
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: play the game hard and something comes up. Something comes up.
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: But back in the day, I would say my years
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: in Minnesota, in my first three or four years, and
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: in uh in New York, It's just it was like
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: part of it getting me into the game and get
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: me engaged and getting getting kind of everyone else involved,
• 43:28
  Speaker 8: and I just, uh, you know, I would always try
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: and make my teammates laugh with my trip. So you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: it was like guys would come by, and guys would
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: be annoying on the other team, So I'd come up
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: with something clever and and wait till he was in
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: front of our bench, and so everybody could hear it,
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: and I'd say it loud enough for everybody.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I like, I like, wait until the guy
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: gets by his bench, and then just say, dude, guys
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: are telling me you're like the fucking worst teammate ever.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: And he's like, I fuck you, man, And then I
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: know he's on the bench being like, who said it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: I used to do that all the time. I used
• 44:07
  Speaker 8: to do that all the time. When you used to
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: line up as a right winger. You'd line up in
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: front of the other team's bench and then somebody from
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: the bench over your shoulder would be chirping you. Before
• 44:15
  Speaker 8: the puck drops, you would say that exact thing. You
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: turn around and be like, bro, we all know that
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: nobody on this bench likes you. Like what are you
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: even doing?
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: You can't say anything, it's like and.
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: Then he's just like who on my team did he
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: play with before? Like who does he know? Who was
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: it to send it?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: Who doesn't like me? He spends the rest of the
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: game thinking about it.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I used to do it when I knew, like I
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: had a great buddy on the other team, so like
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: I'd be like one of my best buddies and I
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: go to a guy like next to Vick, Dude, I
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: heard you're just the worst. And then I know after
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: the game, my buddy's like why the fuck He's in
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: the room asking me would you guys say something?
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: It's always the best because I would always be laughing
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: on the bench because I know exactly why and how
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: it's how it's done. There are a few guys where
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: like it was always true, but everyone knew it, and
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: then they probably hurt it every game, so it was
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: just like whatever, but one of those mid guys just
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: would be like what wait who you know it was?
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: It was one of the best because like it's it
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: just ruminates for a period and a half, creates dissension
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: in the locker room and again you do it, you
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: do it in front of the whole bench. So he's
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: just sitting there like he thinks he's got you with one.
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: Ah yeah, Clari, you pussy. Was just like nobody likes you.
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: Bro talk to these guys all the time. What are
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: you talking about? And then the whole bench has to
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: laugh at him. He's just like nice one.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: You know. Wait.
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: I would always wait for like I would come up
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: with one for for every guy, and I would just
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: kind of wait for that situation when I was standing
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: in front of their bench, and inevitably they would say
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: something to me. But I had one in the chamber
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: loaded ready to go, like a pretty good one. I
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: was always big about attacking physical features like you know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: big noses, bad visors, yeah, you know, terrible style like
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: all that stuff, you know.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, bad breath.
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, all that. I would just have one in the
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: chamber ready to go unloaded.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: So then Domald with melt Visors.
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: He was Meltain visors.
• 46:03

  Speaker 1: nate In, NASHVILLE.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: I would be a little.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: CONCERNED i, mean it's been this long you think you've
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: named someone. Already BUT i GUESS i understand part of
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: it where you're waiting for other teams to finish and
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: you want to scoop it up another. Guy but you,
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: KNOW i think with the draft coming up and free

  Speaker 6: agency and all these, THINGS i think you want to
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: get this short up pretty.
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: QUICKLY. Jd.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: YEAH i think the only, reason the only UNDERSTANDING i

  Speaker 3: have is that's it's one of the teams that are
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: still in the. Playoffs it's somebody within that organization and
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: they just can't announce it because it's. Distracting and but
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: it's going to be one of those. Guys AND i
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: THINK i heard McFarland's name come up a few, times
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: so he'd be a great, pickup great ad would hurt For.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Colorado BUT i think it's got to be one of
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: those guys from some somewhere in the. Organizations it's one of,
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: them all.
• 50:43
