I don't know the time around the tic tic.
0:02
Just stare at Crispy. I'll stare.
0:04
Yeah. Tick, tick.
0:05
Tick's working great all right. Yeah, yeah.
0:08
Shall we? Yeah, we have to look at the
0:10
camera. Can we talk?
0:11
We just. Talk.
0:12
Just talking. Yeah, talking to these.
0:13
I'll look at the camera and then I'll stare.
0:15
At Pete Pete Stairs a carrot here, stairs at Crispy Crispy
0:17
stairs are books. Books like the Camera.
0:20
Ding Ding Ding. Why is?
0:21
He doing here he. Went to Bendy they.
0:25
Were here. This is good.
0:26
This is the first. This is the intro.
0:40
Welcome to another. Edition of the Predators
0:42
official podcast here on ESPN1O25 the game and streaming
0:45
on YouTube. I'm Brooks Bratton alongside my
0:48
friends Max hers and Cara Hammer as always.
0:52
And we were going to call them interviewees, but that's kind of
0:56
ridiculous. They're more or less Co hosts
0:59
this week. And before I introduce them, I
1:01
do want to say so the Predator's Golden Hall, we know it was
1:04
introduced last season. The first 3 inductees, David
1:07
Poyle, Pecorine and Shay Weber. Shay has all these accolades in
1:11
the Hockey Hall of Fame. Pekka's got a statue out front,
1:14
he's got a banner in the building.
1:16
David Poyle, the winningest GM in NHL history, he's got a
1:18
banner in the building. But what?
1:20
None of those 3 gentlemen have a restaurant and we are sitting in
1:25
a restaurant named after Congratulations on a restaurant.
1:29
Clue. This kid in, I mean, even Wayne
1:31
Gretzky's restaurant closed. So it's only a matter of time.
1:36
Yeah. Pete Weber and Terry Crisp.
1:38
I got to ask before we really get into it.
1:40
Is it weird to have your faces on a wall in a restaurant and a
1:44
bar named after you? It's better than us personally
1:47
being on the wall. Better being in the post office.
1:52
Yeah, I wanted. Yeah, exactly.
1:55
You're both the big scene. Oops.
1:57
If your faces are going to be on the wall, that's probably the
1:59
best spot for them. You know what it's I got to tell
2:01
you, Pete, it's embarrassing sometimes because you'll have
2:04
relatives command or friends command and sit down whenever
2:07
you're the first thing. Really.
2:09
Really. You 2 dough heads on the wall?
2:14
Yeah, we do. Sure.
2:15
Do. Like it or lump it, it's going
2:17
to stay there. Well, that was quite an honor.
2:19
Yeah, we've got another excellent honor coming up this
2:22
weekend, the new inductees to the Predators Golden Hall.
2:25
Gentlemen, congratulations. What does that mean to you?
2:29
To be enshrined in Predators lore forever.
2:33
Trying to make us cry, I mean. No, that's later.
2:37
It's highly meaningful the the idea that those nights we spent
2:42
in the arena tower teaching hockey one O 1, I guess they
2:46
paid off for us. Crispy.
2:49
Like he said, he said I could do that if I wanted Pete's.
2:54
Yeah, we had a wonderful trip. It's been a great trip for PD
2:56
and I. And this is sort of a nice cap
2:58
off on it when you figure out First off that we're joining
3:01
you, Mr. Poyle, Mr. Weber and Mr. Rene in there ahead of us
3:05
that we feel that that's an honor in itself.
3:08
And the other part is that we, when Pete and I will be there to
3:12
be probably in my mind and met Pete's a little bit thanks to
3:15
our fans because our fans from day one treated Pete and I like
3:20
we're part of them. And that makes our job a lot
3:23
easier, a lot more fun. And that's what Pete and I have.
3:27
I'm speaking for my buddy here. I've had all along our journey
3:30
fun. The question now is, is Yannick
3:33
going in next year? We have to have a Weber a year.
3:36
I like that idea. Sure, we can talk to some
3:38
people. That's a great idea.
3:41
What do you think? Former Fred's defenseman.
3:44
Nobody more fitting. We'll get to so much more just
3:48
about how things have evolved over time and when you started.
3:51
I do want to ask though, because it was really cool how it was
3:53
revealed that you would be going in.
3:56
You thought you were doing a promo for this very bar, telling
3:59
people to come get hammered, right?
4:00
And all of a sudden. And no, no relation on you go.
4:05
Take that personal care, please. And then all of a sudden, here
4:07
comes Pekka. Yeah, you're like, all right,
4:10
whatever, Peck. She shows up from time to time,
4:12
but he says, hey, you guys like my gold jacket?
4:14
Like, yeah, sure, whatever. But how about you like your own?
4:17
When you started, this is nice. Beck could just come in and a
4:20
nice come in from behind, like like the good old days when they
4:23
just stepped up behind you and had a fun.
4:25
I said Beck is really into it now he's talking.
4:29
He says, yeah, I know there's anything different guys, but no,
4:31
you look great, Beck. You're still in shape.
4:33
Look like you. Yeah.
4:34
You know anything different about you?
4:36
No, you look younger, I guess. But he says no.
4:40
Did you notice the colour of my jacket?
4:43
It still didn't dawn on us what he's trying, what he's trying to
4:46
tell us. Till poor Peck had to say, Hey
4:48
you 2 dough heads, I'm here. Talking dense.
4:51
Yeah, I'm here to tell you. What was you here to tell us?
4:54
Going into the Golden Hall, yeah, just like him.
4:57
So I guess we have to get taller.
5:01
There's still time. Yeah, there's still time.
5:03
No. Going back, I remember the day
5:06
that they named this pub Pete and Terry's.
5:10
You were outside, we cut the ribbon and you said 4 scores.
5:13
And seven years ago, you and Crispy floated down the
5:16
Cumberlands to Nashville. Looking back, I mean, what
5:21
stands out the most about this journey being here?
5:25
How it started and the guy who was really responsible for
5:28
putting us together, Jerry Halper, the director of
5:31
communications at the time. He knew me from our time
5:35
together with the Buffalo Sabres.
5:36
He knew Terry from their time together with the Tampa Bay
5:39
Lightning. And while Terry never remembers
5:42
me interviewing him when he was a coach either in Calgary or in
5:45
Tampa, I obviously made a huge impression.
5:49
Jerry felt that we would have good chemistry.
5:51
I guess he was a pretty good chemist.
5:54
So you knew crispy but crispy. No.
5:58
No, because PD back then he he would like ask me some like
6:03
intelligent questions and I can't answer.
6:05
I'm only a coach. We don't answer it.
6:09
So I I after I learned from Pete, I said, well, you know, he
6:12
had a lot on my mind that day. Probably Yeah, he he went with
6:16
that. But for the rest of the time
6:19
through, it was yeah match. I sat down and come up to do one
6:27
game. Right.
6:27
Just. One Jerry Helper I said I'll
6:29
come up. I owe you Jerry.
6:32
Here's my I'm paying off my note come up shook hands with Pete
6:35
sat down with them had fun, did the game cut up.
6:39
Thank you very much way I went back to Tampa got a call from
6:44
Mr. Diller and whatnot. Well, Terry, Jerry helper says
6:49
crispy we're having a a double header in the weekend.
6:52
We have, we're going to have somebody.
6:54
I'll get somebody. Would you come back?
6:55
I said, if I come back up to work with Mr. Weber, then you
7:00
owe me. You.
7:01
I got the note on you, he said, Yep, best move I ever made.
7:05
Came back up, sat down again with PD.
7:07
Mr. Diller said listen, we like your sort of your, what you have
7:11
together, We'd like to use it. Would you like to stay into it
7:15
by then, By then my wife Sheila, she was tired of me being
7:19
hanging around the house. Anyways, a good way to Get Me
7:23
Out of the house, but she gets a free write up with us every time
7:26
we flew up to do the games. So it was just a fun, fun
7:30
season. And you know that season Mr.
7:33
Diller was still there and he said, you know, we'd like you to
7:36
to you and Peter are a good combination and you'd like you
7:39
to stay and sign. He says you know you can.
7:42
You can commute if you want so. Cherry called his bluff.
7:44
So I says to Mr. Diller being smart, I says, OK, Mr. Diller,
7:53
you give me a three-year contract, I'll sell my house in
7:55
Florida and move up here, OK? So he called the real estate
8:01
company. Hun, Yeah, it's me.
8:03
Yeah, we're selling. Sell the house.
8:07
Why? That's my wife.
8:09
Why are we selling the house? To come to Nashville.
8:13
Because Jack Diller knew what he had.
8:15
Because I guess Jack, yeah, he, he probably saw the camera.
8:19
See that Pete and I enjoyed and we had fun and we've had it ever
8:23
since. Was it instant or did you have
8:26
to work at the chemistry like? I didn't feel like we had to,
8:29
no. It just, it just flowed.
8:31
And you see, people don't understand.
8:34
I had the pleasure of working with three people who have and
8:38
I, I call it a photographic memory.
8:39
There's probably a better word for it.
8:41
My opinion are Willie Dyke, Eli Gold, and this man right here.
8:49
So you can imagine a dummy like me coming in and work with those
8:52
three men. I was the smartest of the bunch
8:56
because all I had to do was get this.
8:59
All I had to do was start a question not knowing the answer,
9:04
but hand it off to one of these guys who knew the answer.
9:07
I looked like a genius. Hey, Christy knows how nobody
9:11
figures this. I didn't finish it.
9:13
One of these guys and PD was I'd look at him pointing finish it
9:17
off and anybody out there who's listening, if anybody is, if you
9:22
want a trivia and you know you have that thing where you want
9:26
to make money and your phone and you say an answer, phone a
9:28
friend, phone a friend. Those are the three guys I told
9:31
you to phone if you want to win. Now if you to really illustrate
9:35
though the chemistry, we start traveling together and Terry,
9:41
Terry is getting his really first computers and he gets the
9:46
computer and we check in the hotel in Costa Mesa and my cell
9:51
phone rings and he goes, I just say, OK, Terry, what room are
9:54
you? In the first thing is you got to
9:57
plug it in. Where do I plug it in?
10:02
Because I don't know. And honestly, Pete, people out
10:06
there will know we're in that area now, but when I I am not
10:09
very good on computers, I'm not very good on my phone.
10:12
I never had been there with and with Pete alongside of me.
10:16
It was a walk in the park, except I didn't have to do it
10:19
because like I told you, I just nudged.
10:21
Got the answer. And so one time, all the office
10:25
staff, I understand. Yeah, I hate that Tick, Tick,
10:31
tick. Then tick, tick.
10:33
He said, what are you talking about?
10:35
The tick, tick. And he says that thing right
10:38
there that I said. I walked through the office and
10:41
all I hear is. Tick, tick, tick.
10:46
Tick tick. So I nicknamed it the tick Tick
10:49
and it still fits all my grandchildren today.
10:51
Coach, how you doing on your tick tick today?
10:55
So you want to FaceTime he gets on a tick, tick, tick.
10:57
I was. Going to say and 25 years later,
10:59
how are you doing on a tick tick?
11:00
I won't Pete now, but I got Pete's got my wife Sheila versed
11:06
on it, so I'm OK. I just went to her.
11:09
She does it. The only thing I can't figure
11:12
out is how you E transfer money. Which is good.
11:17
That's a good one. That's a good one.
11:21
I don't know how you mean your money.
11:23
You mean E transfer Venmo? No.
11:29
Well, it was when he first tried to play Pay His Bills Online and
11:34
you sort of misplaced the decimal point.
11:37
What was it for the power bill? Yeah, instead of like $68, I
11:41
think it was 6800. Took a long time to get it.
11:46
Back they were like, thanks very much, Mr. Chris.
11:49
Yeah, what a nice. Man, Pete Weber and Terry
11:53
Crispar and guests on THE POP. We're going to take a break.
11:56
Caller number five wins free electricity for the next three
11:58
of the President's official podcast.
12:02
Don't look at he was dangerous. Welcome back to the Predators
12:04
Official Bible casts live from Pete and Terry's Tavern here at
12:07
Bridgestone Arena. I'm Max Herz from Fred's Radio
12:10
with Cara Hammer from Fred's TV, Brooks Bratton from
12:13
nashvillepredators.com, and our two soon to be Golden Hall of
12:18
Farmers, Pete Weber and Terry Crisp.
12:20
The Predators broadcasters will go into the Golden Hall this
12:24
Saturday, November 1st at the first intermission of the game
12:27
against the Flame. So make sure everybody stays in
12:30
their seats. We got to tell the people that
12:31
first intermission. If you come in, folks, you will
12:33
see I already have a golden blazer.
12:36
It's up there from my Buffalo Sabres dates.
12:38
No, he was selling real estate. Yeah, real estate, Jack.
12:41
And he tells me it's for the Hall of Fame.
12:44
No, I remember those commercials.
12:46
That's what I was wearing when I met Claudia for the first time.
12:48
Wow and a Sabres Quebec Nordics game.
12:52
And you just hit your anniversary, which how many
12:54
consecutive years? Thank you, Cal Ripken Junior 36.
12:58
36 years in a row. Yeah, as you'd like to say, well
13:01
done. No years.
13:02
Old. Well, let's see though.
13:02
Because you a man. Because Terry and you, have you
13:05
talked how many, how many years here?
13:08
For Sheila and I living here. No, no.
13:10
No marriage. Married 60.
13:14
Depends. They're sixty.
13:15
Wow. Yeah.
13:17
See. Well done.
13:17
And I'm trapping for for Sheila because I outrun my coverage.
13:21
Yeah. And when I go to do things and
13:25
things and everybody says, well, you had a nice little, you know,
13:28
yeah, livelihood. Krispy had a good dress.
13:30
And yeah, I said, what? You player, coach, team, what's
13:34
the secret to it? I said, you know what?
13:37
In my mind, the secret to all you guys out there, if you're
13:40
listening to me, you find a good woman, you marry her, and you
13:45
damn well keep her. End of conversation.
13:49
Yep. I lucked out with that.
13:52
Well said. Yeah, that's, and that was also
13:56
part of a letter you got from your Philadelphia Flyers coach
13:59
that went out and told the the wives how to behave around the
14:03
husbands. Oh, it's a classic.
14:06
I still have it. Fred Shearer.
14:07
I love the I had the pleasure of fortune, the good fortune to
14:11
play for two of the best coaches ever in the game, Freddie
14:14
Shearer and Scotty Bowman. Total opposites in their
14:17
approach to the game. But Freddie was always thinking
14:19
and he he always gave you the problem.
14:21
He can give you the answer, he gave you the problem.
14:23
But one time he sits down and writes this letter on all the
14:26
wives. How to be the perfect wife.
14:30
Perfect hockey wife. Perfect hockey wife and he puts
14:33
it all down. I don't think I would read in
14:38
the bottom he puts a little fine print.
14:42
Next week I'll be sending the husband's letter.
14:44
How to be the perfect husband. Never.
14:48
I still have the one of the and it's hilarious.
14:53
But this goes to tell you that you could still play coach and
14:57
have humor. Yeah, yeah.
14:59
Well, and you brought that here to Nashville and it's rare to
15:02
find a day one employee, but you gentlemen essentially have been
15:06
here since the very beginning. What do you remember, as you
15:09
were just saying before we came back, we sit here in your
15:11
Tavern, all these buildings out here, nothing was here was
15:14
parking lots. There was a bus station over
15:16
here and that was where the Music City Center is now, and
15:19
that basically was it. Yeah, well, they had a hydro
15:21
plant. Yeah, great, big, big in hydro
15:23
plant. And I'm sitting every day at a
15:26
grand look at that friggin hydro.
15:27
They're going to move that thing that's electricity.
15:30
That's are you going to move? Can't do that I think possible.
15:34
Well, you made a $6800 donation, so they were.
15:37
I wanted my money back before they left.
15:39
I said before these guys leave town, I want my money.
15:41
Back but it. Disappeared from from start to
15:47
finish. Now this.
15:48
The city has just blossomed. Everybody, anybody here has been
15:52
here, and some for the better, some for not so good.
15:56
But what? What is it?
15:58
You have to either die. You either progress, show
16:00
progress, or you die. That's right and.
16:03
This city is not going to die. You have to put up construction
16:05
cranes as many as you possibly can, and I think the high number
16:09
we had was 37 cranes up simultaneously downtown.
16:14
Here, I believe it. Talk to a businessman.
16:17
I did talk to a businessman. Yeah.
16:19
You all. Look, Chris, be the businessman.
16:22
We're having a beer put that way in the pub and he was talking
16:26
about he just bought land he was going to put up at whatever he's
16:28
going to put up, like another high rise that would have them
16:30
in. I said, oh good, good, yeah,
16:33
when do you start? He said, I think about three
16:35
years. I said maybe two.
16:38
He said three. I said why would you, You've got
16:43
the land. It's all there.
16:44
He says, because I can't get any cranes.
16:47
Those he talk. He says they're all we can't get
16:51
them. They're leased out.
16:52
They're all leased. So I said wow, but he did move
16:56
it up a little. And the city hasn't stopped.
16:58
It hasn't stopped. Let's go back to you guys being
17:01
day one. I think most people, if you're
17:04
new or if they're a new press fan, don't realize that when it
17:07
started, you two were more more famous.
17:12
The most of the players on on the team.
17:14
What was that like? Were you recognized when you
17:17
would go out in public? Did people start to realize, I
17:19
mean, I have friends come to the game and they want to take a
17:21
photo with Pete and Terry? It was scary going into Home
17:24
Depot and looking for looking for replacement toilet seats,
17:29
having people come up and say, I recognize that voice.
17:34
OK. OK.
17:36
So time and place very, very important to be certain about
17:40
Any question about that. But yeah, Terry, remember we
17:43
were, they had just opened the Hilton Hotel across the street
17:47
and we were doing a talk show in the lobby and the show got
17:52
kicked out because the people stay in the hotel rooms were
17:55
angry about how loud we were. Yeah.
17:59
Can you imagine the nerve of the All they do is come down and buy
18:02
us a beer and everything would have been that.
18:04
Would have shut us right up. Well, maybe those are the only
18:07
people who were not thrilled to see you because I I feel like
18:10
I've heard you tell the story, Pete, about your wife Claudia,
18:13
saying what? Why are these people so nice?
18:15
What do they want from us? Why are?
18:16
They that was the big thing when we first got here.
18:19
Now we had been in Buffalo, which is not a horrible town at
18:22
all. It's a great city, but nobody
18:24
would come up and just try to converse with you and ask you
18:28
how things were going. And then, of course, we would
18:31
have initially difficulty understanding through the accent
18:36
what was being asked of us. But so, yeah, I'd go to Claudia.
18:40
What do they want? What is it here?
18:42
What's going on? Why are they being so darn nice
18:44
and just turned out? Because they are so darn nice.
18:49
I want to ask about broadcasting together.
18:52
Are there any moments that stand out?
18:53
I mean, we've seen some clips. Some moments.
18:59
I was going to say some that were on the air.
19:01
That's not fair. That's not fair.
19:03
You've travelled with Pete and I, that is not for anything to
19:05
You didn't get the pleasure yet before of doing that.
19:11
But every trip was an adventure for us because we made it an
19:15
adventure, whether it was like Pete trying to drag me to a ball
19:20
game. Now that was a classic opening
19:23
day in Saint Louis. Yeah, and I was not into ball
19:26
really, you know, sorry people, but hey.
19:28
Sorry, Blue Jays. In the World Series and all that
19:30
Blue Jays there to the Jays apologize for it and so people
19:36
would always we go to in we. Went to Saint Louis, went to
19:41
opening day there. Yeah, opening day.
19:43
Big deal. Well, I'll get in, right?
19:46
He says. You got to come.
19:48
I want to go and sit. The starting pitcher is a
19:50
Canadian. But I said Jeff Francis.
19:52
Yeah, I said, oh, really? A Canadian starting?
19:55
He said, well, that'd be neat, see a Canadian kid throwing in
19:58
the big leagues. It's good.
20:00
I'll go sit. But the caveat was this.
20:04
Pete says I'll buy all the beer and hot dogs.
20:06
There you go. So we started out with eight
20:08
beers and. 8 hot dogs and we had a couple other people with us.
20:13
The lady that could run like a deer and forget her name now
20:17
drank more beer and eat more hot dogs than any of us.
20:20
It doesn't matter, but OK, I'm sitting in the stands in this
20:24
Canadian picture because he's not that.
20:28
Was it Francis, Jeff or Jeff? Jeff Francis.
20:29
Jeff Francis. So he's throwing up when he's
20:33
throwing it. Ball one, ball 2.
20:40
He threw 11 or 12 straight balls.
20:44
Yes. Without a pitch, a strike.
20:47
Without a strike thinking. Yeah.
20:50
This is who you are. So this this, this batter comes
20:53
up named Pujols. Yeah.
20:55
And he he was so mad that he reached.
20:58
He hit one in his Ken High. He had to get a stepladder to
21:01
reach up to hit it and broke this the thing it would have
21:04
been 13 straight so. So we had the saunted.
21:09
It starts to rain. It's raining.
21:13
So what? We said, well, let's go under
21:15
the thing. We'll.
21:16
Still get more beers? More beer, more hot dogs and
21:18
wait for it, Pete tells me because of the rules of
21:22
baseball, after when we we we left, we didn't provide it
21:25
because it's canceled. That didn't count against the
21:28
pitcher that did not show up on his record.
21:31
The Canadian boy through 12 St. And I've never met the guy, but
21:36
I'd love to meet him one day somewhere just to tell him.
21:40
So hold faith in you if. You if you know Jeff Francis,
21:43
just send us at nashvillepredators.com.
21:46
We would appreciate that because Terry really wants to be.
21:49
Yeah. He's invited on Saturday.
21:51
I felt bad for him, I did. We're in Pete and Terry Stavern
21:55
with Pete Weber and Terry Crisp talking about the early days.
21:57
Who are those early year preds who you guys love to get to know
22:01
in the late 90s and the early 2000s?
22:04
Well, really, you got to get right down to it.
22:05
Thomas Wilcoon, who would never point his finger at anybody
22:10
after giving up a goal, as opposed to one of year old
22:13
teammates on the Blues. John Plunt, who wanted to point
22:16
that out right away. Whose fault was what?
22:19
And then captain Tom Fitzgerald. He ran a tremendous dressing.
22:25
He did, he was he everything he'd want in a in a captain
22:29
with, with the team, with the public, with kids, all of that.
22:33
And we were blessed with a lot of these kids that came in and
22:36
worked like you had like Scott Walker, Scotty Walker, He was
22:40
afraid of nothing. He took more blows and more
22:43
fights just with to save his teammates.
22:46
When you look over the whole the whole line UPS of when we first
22:49
started here and Trotzy had them, they were we were a
22:54
machine that wasn't a great machine, but they were all
22:57
together and every night and back then people and and my
23:02
favorite buddy here vote for this is that if we had a goal
23:07
lead going in to the third period, we win the game.
23:13
Put your money down on the table.
23:15
Our team dug in and our goalie dug in.
23:18
We that sticks in my mind more than anything.
23:21
Now as to those early teams going in.
23:25
We felt comfortable. We got a one goal lead.
23:27
We're going to slam the gate. If they don't get another goal
23:31
and we don't have to score another goal, we win.
23:34
So let's make sure they don't get another goal.
23:37
Let's zero in on that and work for the rest of.
23:41
It Do either of you have a favorite player here that you've
23:43
cover? That is very difficult for me to
23:48
pick out anyway. Yeah, You know what?
23:50
There's so many that would be right like this.
23:52
You love them and they were great hockey players, family,
23:55
men, community, kids like that. We had a whole, and that's what
23:59
made this team. The guys, they, they did things
24:02
together. Like I, I remember the one year
24:04
Trotsy, he took the whole team out to Fort Campbell.
24:08
Yes. And then that sticks with me
24:10
like anything. Even leggy.
24:13
Went through it Yep. And we, you've probably seen the
24:16
video maybe what do you call it? Video or whatever it is, right?
24:19
The, they put the team, the, the, the soldiers out there that
24:24
were in charge, put them through the training that they did.
24:28
These guys, I mean, they're going through mud with barbed
24:31
wire across them and shooting over the top of them, these
24:34
guys. And these weren't slap shots.
24:36
And those were bullets teams and the, and the, the military men
24:39
out there were like, you're where you're, we're making you a
24:43
team. There are four guys or six in a
24:45
team. 6 I think. 6 to a team, and they laid the law down like
24:49
no coach. But he says, and you know what
24:51
we'll tell you is that you leave no man behind.
24:56
I don't care what you're if you're going over the thing,
24:57
you're going through the mud before you're done, you may your
25:01
head count and every man better be on your team to go to the
25:04
next leg. And they when our guys came
25:07
back, they were so happy to come back and keep playing hockey.
25:11
We're not going near that again ever.
25:14
But that's what we had different who trust you thought of it.
25:19
Campbell agreed with it. That's.
25:21
That's. That's one of the things that it
25:25
made them together. How have you seen the sport
25:29
evolve? I mean, looking back, you think
25:33
of of, you know, the Flyers probably bullied.
25:38
Misunderstood youths. I love that podcast the Flyers
25:44
alumni did during the lockout where Bobby Clark goes to other
25:50
guys. We didn't fight that much.
25:55
That just killed me, and it killed Claudia watching that
25:58
too, I got to tell you that. But you're a group, and we had
26:05
Frank Bae's daughter in here the other night doing the game back
26:08
to Los. Angeles, OH did you?
26:09
Yeah, and she was. I talked to her about Sam
26:12
Carcini's book that just came out, Broadway Bullies and Broad
26:15
St. Bullies, and that was she is
26:18
going to go pick it up right now.
26:20
Nice, nice. It was just an era.
26:22
But you know what the funniest thing is?
26:25
When we played, we got out the whole thing.
26:28
Like right now to this day, I have men and women, elderly,
26:32
young ones saying, oh, you were one of the bullies.
26:36
You were Broad Street bully. Now that's back in the what?
26:38
The 7475, That's that far back in all of hockey.
26:45
I don't have anybody come to me and say, oh, remember the flying
26:47
Canadians, flying French Canadians, the Montreal team who
26:52
won 26 straight Stanley Cups? You don't hear that.
26:54
You don't hear, oh, remember Bobby Orr and the Boston Bruins
26:58
and all of them or so and so with the New York Rangers or go
27:02
on down the line. No, you hear, oh, you're a Broad
27:05
Street bully. Yeah, like.
27:07
And that was just a huge. Badge of honor it.
27:10
Got picked up and amplified and carried through all the years.
27:14
And there's a good reason for it.
27:17
I mean, I was with the LA Kings and we had lost thirty straight
27:21
to Philadelphia and 30 straight games.
27:25
And we played each other far more frequently then than you do
27:27
now. And when it finally ended and it
27:30
was at the Spectrum that it ended, there was just a
27:34
celebration like you would not believe.
27:36
And Jerry Koreb giving the Italian salute to the fans as he
27:39
was going off the ice. It was very nice of.
27:42
Him King Kong, but back in that era.
27:47
But you know what it is and I I right now I love sports, but you
27:53
got to have nicknames for sports guys.
27:57
You got to. Are you going to go here now?
27:59
But I'm just saying, in the sporting world, tell me how many
28:03
nicknames you have in baseball. Do you have Slam and Sammy Sneed
28:06
is golf or anybody like you know who?
28:09
I love baseball now and I don't know baseball.
28:11
The little guy catches for the Blue Jays.
28:14
Kirk, is that his little? Yeah, sure.
28:17
The first Mexican to hit a home run in the World Series.
28:20
And up in his in this series, he stole second base.
28:23
First time ever in his career. Yeah, I'll give him a standing
28:26
ovation. They got to figure out a name
28:28
for him. As he slid in head first, that
28:30
measured on the Richter scale. Like, does does do the Titans
28:34
have nicknames for any of their players?
28:35
Like speedball so and so, or tank so and so or yeah, like
28:41
here comes a Terminator on the field right now.
28:43
Sis, we lost Javon curse. I don't know.
28:47
I had King Henry. King Henry right that that may
28:50
be the last. One, yeah, like when we had
28:52
them, they were like Hammer Schultz and Bird Seleski and
28:57
Hound Kelly and the Golden Jet, Bobby Hull and go on down of
29:04
different teams had like, you know, sudden death.
29:07
Mel Hill. Mel Hill sudden death.
29:10
Because as soon as it was overtime, he always scored the
29:12
sudden death goal. Why'd he call it sudden death
29:15
though? Who shouldn't be sudden victory?
29:17
I don't understand that when you never mind move it.
29:21
Get a revelation. Here, never mind, move.
29:23
We'll come, we'll come back and figure out an answer to that.
29:25
Just a moment. That's fair.
29:26
You are listening and watching to the Predators Official
29:28
Podcast on ESPN1O25, The Game and YouTube back with Pete Weber
29:32
and Terry. Chris, just a moment.
29:35
Welcome back to the Predators Official Podcast on Brooks
29:38
Bratton alongside Max Hurst and Cara Hammer and these two
29:41
esteemed gentlemen. Turn around.
29:44
That a good word. Thank you.
29:46
Thank you. Terry Crisp, you know him,
29:49
you'll love him. We are speaking with you
29:51
gentlemen ahead of your Golden Hall induction.
29:54
I had twice in a couple minutes. There might be some two guys
29:57
behind. You surprised you the monster.
30:00
Out there. That said, where Mark keep, I
30:03
want to ask a little bit more about Nashville, but first,
30:06
Kara, you had brought up there's a there's a great tread trade
30:09
deadline story. I should have brought it up when
30:12
we were talking about the tick tick because.
30:14
Yeah, that's the. Back in the day at trade
30:17
headline, nobody could text you or call you.
30:19
Phone no tick ticks nothing. And I was, I'd just been traded
30:24
from Saint Louis Blues to the islands their first year.
30:26
So I was an original Islander that year and I think did we win
30:30
12 games? 12 yes, but I don't think you
30:33
were there for all. 12 and it was part way through the year.
30:37
The movement is in the trade deadline, so we're playing this
30:40
night in Detroit and that night after the game, the deadline's
30:43
midnight for trading. You can't trade after that.
30:46
And I was one of the senior guys on the team.
30:48
So after the game in Detroit, we all went to the pub.
30:52
There was a pub where all the. No Glendale AC.
30:54
Glendale AC Club in Detroit. And we're sitting out there and
30:59
I was and I said, OK, boys, this round's on me.
31:03
I don't know, 11:30 and around there, this this round's on me,
31:07
guys, because we made it. None of us got traded.
31:10
We're home free. The kids, we don't, the wives
31:12
don't have to go and find churches and schools.
31:14
And that is great. We're staying together.
31:17
So I walk up heading for the bar to buy the round and the bar
31:23
phone rings and the bartender, Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
31:27
Let me see, is there a crisp here?
31:31
I'm walking towards the bar. I said, oh, I said that'd be me,
31:35
a phone call for you. I said OK, and it was my coach,
31:41
Earl. Earl Ingerfield, this is crispy.
31:43
I said, Earl, this is crispy. Come on, back to the hotel.
31:47
I said, Earl, just tell me where.
31:51
Well, no, come on, I want to talk to you.
31:52
But I said we traded you. I know that you don't phone me.
31:55
Just I said where? He says, well, come back.
32:00
I said, I'm buying a beer, round of beer.
32:03
I'm going to my last beer with my player.
32:04
Just tell me now so I can phone. Well, we traded you to
32:09
Philadelphia. I says.
32:11
You what? You traded me to Philadelphia,
32:13
he says. Yeah.
32:13
I says what? What the hell does Philadelphia
32:17
want with me? He says.
32:18
Damned if I know. There's a ringing endorsement
32:22
right there. The.
32:24
Training. Just get out.
32:26
Just get going and get out. Oh, by the way, I did pay for
32:30
the round of beer. I did.
32:32
But there was a great story behind that.
32:34
Terry was traded so that the Islanders could get Jean Pat
32:37
Van, the older brother of the guy who they were going to take
32:41
as the number one choice in that year's draft.
32:43
That way, with the war with the World Hockey Association that
32:47
was going on at the time, they figured Denny would then sign
32:51
with the Islanders. So that was the background to
32:54
all of that. Well, and that trade worked out
32:56
OK for you, right? Hell yeah.
32:58
You kidding me? It sure did.
33:00
One of the best, one of the best things ever happened to me along
33:03
the way. I mean, Freddie Cheryl
33:05
remembered him from having him with the Buffalo Bisons in 1970
33:10
and where they won the Calder Cup.
33:13
Wasn't this the video that when Crispy's team had won the cup,
33:17
somebody came out from the stands and got in the handshake
33:21
line? Yeah, yeah.
33:23
Not just one. The first, the first year they
33:26
just flooded the ice. We couldn't move you, you you
33:30
didn't skip the cover out because you couldn't get just
33:32
there's no room get it back to the dress and it was safety
33:34
before somebody stole it on there.
33:36
Whatever. So, but there's a we did have
33:39
the handshake line with the Boston Bruins and they're going
33:44
through and it's thing, thing so many, many years later.
33:49
My I'm here here and they're replaying all these things like
33:53
they do in TV and replaying that game and that ending and that
33:57
handshake. And my grandchildren phoned me
33:59
and they said, hey, coach, who's that civilian in your handshake
34:04
line with the bottle of champagne in the series?
34:06
There's nobody in bottle of champagne in the line.
34:10
Yeah, there is. Look.
34:12
So I said no. So I phoned back to, you know, I
34:16
said, find that thing and send it to me.
34:19
Sure enough, here's a civilian kid, he'd be, I don't know,
34:23
maybe 2020 some. And he's just right in the line
34:27
with all of us, shaking hands, drinking, drinking the
34:31
champagne. So I phoned and said, hey, find
34:34
out who that kid is. Brad Mark was running them.
34:37
So he put it all on TV there, the clip, everything.
34:40
The guy said whoever knows who this was, if you get in contact
34:45
with us and tell us the truth and who it was, we'll give you a
34:48
tickets to the Gateway, blah blah, autograph jersey and
34:51
whatnot. Never did find out who really,
34:54
but nobody knew who this kid was.
34:56
Yeah. Which cup was this?
34:59
The first One Cup. So this is Philly.
35:00
Yeah, yeah. So somewhere out there, somebody
35:03
was in the handshake line, Yeah. Come forward with a bottle of
35:06
champagne, yeah? With a bottle of champagne.
35:08
Well, I also and I texted both of you about this at a random
35:12
night this summer at about 2:00 AM NHL Network was showing
35:16
Crispy's 89 Flames Cup footage with a fan who had won some sort
35:21
of contest to rewatch the clinching game with you, and it
35:25
was exceptional television. Yeah, I remember that.
35:28
I didn't know I did it. I said, hey, coach, they got
35:33
this thing. I said what Said I didn't do
35:34
that. Yeah, you did.
35:36
We've got video of you. So I didn't realize you did
35:39
then, but back then you have incidents that people crop up to
35:43
it and you, you never didn't realize you'd done it.
35:48
Like one of my biggest Paux paws real quickly.
35:51
But as coaches, you got to remember you're on the camera at
35:53
all times. I'm playing in LA one night and
35:57
we're getting hosed by the referees.
35:59
I mean, hosed because we're in LA and Gretzky's paying for
36:03
them. And I had enough of this referee
36:07
and I was there. And so I start yelling at the
36:11
referee. Hey, Rep, hey Rep, you're
36:16
blowing it. You're blowing it.
36:18
And I picked my tie up and held my tie in front of my nose so
36:22
that he's you're you're blowing it.
36:25
You're blowing it. I went viral that Crispy was
36:29
blowing his nose on his tie. People find a Kleenex.
36:33
People don't. Realize it when I had my tie, it
36:35
was out here the camera shot, so I couldn't live that one down
36:40
to. See if there had been three DTV
36:42
then that never. Was why did you blow your nose
36:45
off? I didn't blow my nose on my tie.
36:47
Yeah, you did. We saw it, right?
36:49
It's disgusting. So be.
36:50
Careful. I remember Chris Cuthbert even
36:52
asked you that one night. Yeah, but but you didn't do it.
36:57
You do something stupid, you're going to pay for it.
37:00
I I want to ask you guys about this because I know this was a
37:03
big thing when you guys first started here was you talk about
37:07
the game is new to a lot of people.
37:09
They're used to football and baseball and that sort of thing.
37:12
But the chalk talks and and the hockey one O ones.
37:15
What were those like for you to to be tasked with no pressure
37:20
but hey, teach the game to these?
37:22
Folks, they, they were fun and I think the most fun we had was
37:26
the night before the Handsome Brothers were here for Bud Light
37:29
and Stevie Carlson. I knew from the King's days and
37:34
I said, could you guys maybe remember that scene in Blazing
37:37
Saddles? No, not that one, but where they
37:40
burst into the commissary on the Paramount lot and coming, could
37:43
you guys burst into our classroom like that?
37:45
Stevie said sure, no problem. And boy, did that bug out the
37:48
eyes of everybody in the that night when they did that.
37:52
That was absolutely hilarious. We started in the Tower PD and
37:56
we had first night maybe eight people came to our hockey one O
38:01
1. So we were really excited, 8
38:03
people and six of them were ladies, six women.
38:06
So we started and we found out that women were more interested
38:10
in wanting to learn and figure out hockey than the men.
38:14
So we told everybody Pete met with this.
38:16
He says to them, he says, let's, let's just remember, he says
38:19
that let's make sure the women, let's convince the women because
38:24
if you get the women involved in sports, they're going to bring
38:27
the others in, They're going to bring their husband, they're
38:29
going to bring their boyfriends or that.
38:31
But he says, he says, yeah, but not on the same night.
38:35
Yeah, So that one went, but we did.
38:38
Did you say that? We taught?
38:40
We did. We taught them three goals as a
38:42
hat trick, then I tried to sell them that four goals was the bra
38:45
trick, but they that that didn't get accepted.
38:50
What's not from that one? OK, you guys are here.
38:53
You watch hockey. What do you think would be the
38:55
toughest thing we had to try and teach?
38:58
Icing. To the fans, yeah.
39:00
OK, he said. Icing.
39:01
Yeah. I would think maybe like penalty
39:06
kill, man advantage, special teams.
39:07
Penalty kill special teams pretty good last one.
39:11
Line changes, yes. Changing on the fly and you.
39:14
Know why? He knows that.
39:15
He sat beside me and I told him these.
39:17
I just want to make them look good at it.
39:19
Line changes. They couldn't figure out line
39:22
changes. And when you figure out how many
39:25
sports NASCAR doesn't change in the fly, I know that they
39:30
change. I don't change on the fly how
39:33
many. And I thought lacrosse did.
39:35
Lacrosse does. Yeah, so they do.
39:37
Yeah, I. Don't think anyone in Nashville
39:39
knew what lacrosse was in that correct 97.
39:41
They thought it was a town in Wisconsin.
39:43
Yeah, but I mean. But it was great and people
39:47
would say, OK, that's a nice thing.
39:49
That means when they shoot the buck way down there and the
39:51
other gets there first. And we had a guy that was on
39:56
closed circuit Bellsouth, AT&T rented out earpieces for people
40:02
coming in for $5 a piece and a guy during stoppages in the
40:06
play, would explain. What they had just seen, we
40:08
called him the Reverend because he was always dressed like he
40:11
was in black and talking to the people that way.
40:14
But that was that was a very important thing.
40:18
And the other big question that came up, why do you guys have
40:21
two halftimes? Or could I get tickets on the 50
40:26
yard line? Yeah, the 50 yard line.
40:30
Well, so much of what you guys have talked about, whether it's
40:33
the team setting, the culture early, you guys teaching the fan
40:36
base, the way the Preds have grown over the years as
40:40
Smashville was coined, Smashville hockey has become
40:44
something and that was there from day one.
40:47
What was it like for you guys watching that get established,
40:50
watch it grow and where it is now, where the Preds are really
40:54
one of the hottest tickets in town?
40:57
It's been I I'd have to say something that makes you feel
41:00
real good about what you've gone through and and maybe helped
41:04
build without any question there.
41:07
And to watch the kids coming in now and to see their eyes
41:12
brighten up when they see things and the a parent brings his
41:15
child up and said he doesn't know what it's like to have a
41:18
town without hockey. I mean, he's.
41:21
It the hockey is. I think when Pete Nipers came
41:23
here, the minor hockey had 200 members maybe. 250.
41:27
Maybe if they had that. And then how many of the high
41:30
school teams 54? 3 high school.
41:33
Teams, 3 high school teams, that's all that was here for
41:36
hockey and they had an old timers one that was just but
41:41
nothing. And then now we have I don't
41:44
know how many thousands in thing we have women's hockey here.
41:47
We have we send teams all over the country now to play in these
41:52
biggest tournaments. That's how hockey has grown here
41:56
due to the schools getting it. Then suddenly all the coaches at
41:59
Wanda and the ex players that took the minor hockey kids.
42:03
It's just this this city now is a city of, of what's the word
42:09
I'm looking when you want to give it to me.
42:12
Growth, destination or whatever. What destination city?
42:14
Yes. For tournaments, the hockey
42:16
tournaments, they have all the new rings that you put in here
42:19
in the Ford Center. Ice was the one still, etcetera,
42:22
etcetera. There's always tournaments of
42:25
hockey in this city now. The best part of that, couple of
42:29
summers ago, you will remember this, I got a call from Scotty
42:32
Bowman and he said, you get that picture I just sent you and I
42:36
go, yeah, I did, Scotty. It was a picture of the entrance
42:40
to the Terry Crisp rink in Bellevue.
42:43
So Scotty's daughter had brought his grandson to play here in a
42:47
tournament. And so he said, OK, I got a
42:50
question for you. I go, what's that, coach?
42:52
If Terry Crisp has his own rink, why isn't he end there every day
42:57
working on his skating? He holds a grudge.
43:01
He's still, he's still my favorite buddy too.
43:03
And he holds a grudge every time.
43:06
And he'd love it. He'd still be chuckling about
43:08
it. So those are the the good times
43:10
and everything that makes Smashville amazing.
43:13
What was it like now almost 2 decades ago when the Preds
43:16
nearly left and what was your guys involvement in that?
43:19
I was waiting to get my house painted, get it ready for sale.
43:23
I was calling my former real estate partner in Buffalo saying
43:27
it looks like we're going to end up in Hamilton, so that's a 40
43:31
minute drive away. Let's get a new domicile there
43:35
and get ready to commute. And Claudia was the same way.
43:39
You know, I never thought we'd ever get that they would leave
43:43
because I, I felt that First off, the person in Hamilton
43:47
wasn't serious and he didn't have what they were.
43:49
It was just a guy and Sky, I thought it was to begin with.
43:53
And secondly, when they held rallies and the fans came out
43:58
and we had ones. And the greatest thing is that
44:02
when the guys who bought the team at that time, he sold the
44:08
team, yeah. Mr. Mr. Leopold.
44:11
Mr. Leopold, who was a great owner, by the way, I don't care
44:13
what the people, he was great man.
44:15
But when they sold the team and and Pete and I got talking to
44:18
the new owner just after we've done it and we said to them had
44:23
dinner with them and he said what what possessed you guys to
44:27
buy this hockey club? It was going nowhere, doing
44:30
nothing. It was heading out.
44:32
And we said, and the one guy said, well, our our money
44:38
manager told us to stay as far away as we could.
44:40
Don't touch it. It's not a viable whatever.
44:44
So we sat together, these men, the owners, and said we decided
44:49
that if we let this hockey team leave, and if you let a
44:53
professional sports team leave your city, your city's going to
44:55
die. So Can you imagine how many
44:57
people want to come here if you didn't have the Titans, the
45:00
sounds, the Predators? National, Let's see now.
45:06
That that keeps your city vibrant, that makes people want
45:12
to come here on a weekend and see a football game, a soccer
45:16
game, a hockey game, whatever, and golfing or whatever it is.
45:20
That's what makes this city now look around just there's the
45:24
evidence. For what?
45:25
What got built down here? And I still remember that
45:28
weekend. It was the Chicago Blackhawks on
45:31
Saturday, the Chicago Bears on a Sunday, and there was no
45:36
libation left. Or they set a record.
45:38
Yeah, they they drank Broadway Drive.
45:41
Yeah, that's a record. Hey, got to be proud of
45:45
something. Sure.
45:46
Come on guys of. Course.
45:49
Sorry. Go ahead, Hammer.
45:51
I have one more for Pete before we wrap this up.
45:54
You talk about the fans in Broadway, the when the team
45:59
clinched the Western Conference final, you said Go Ape.
46:04
Yes, I did. Yes I did.
46:05
And and they did. And they did.
46:08
Where did that come from? That was inspired to me.
46:11
I grew up a Saint Louis Cardinals baseball fan and that
46:14
was a great call by Jack Buck. He didn't say go away, but Ozzie
46:19
Smith hit the first home run of his career left-handed in the
46:22
playoffs against the Dodgers and he just said go crazy folks, go
46:25
crazy. Cardinals have wanted to score a
46:27
three to two on a home run by the Wizard and hit it off one of
46:32
the Landers sisters husbands. So so that was how that.
46:37
And I still like it. Yeah, I still like it, Bubba.
46:39
And didn't you live next door to Jack Buck?
46:41
Yes, when he. Was your neighbor.
46:43
Joe Buck came up to see when he was in town once for an NFL
46:48
game, he came up to see. Chris, one night I met that, but
46:52
my wife says he was on TV. We're in Saint Louis.
46:56
My wife and I, she was watching TV and he was doing the stuff
47:00
and whatnot. And she says hey, I know him.
47:02
I said Sheila, you don't know him.
47:06
I said no, I know that man. I said Sheila, please, this guy
47:10
is somebody he is Jack, but I do know him.
47:15
So about 3 days later, beautiful sunny day out and we were we
47:19
lived in the condo and we had a nice play ground to the kids out
47:23
there and they're playing a Sheila and it's just get out
47:25
here. I want to see you for a minute
47:27
outside the kids. But I come out and there's this
47:29
man playing with my kids. She says I want you to meet the
47:32
man. I don't know Jack Buck.
47:35
He had a place, condo and whatnot, he says.
47:38
OK, Hun. Well done.
47:39
Well done, Sheila. You do know Jack, Mark.
47:42
And now the Predators have line mates named Ozzy and Smith.
47:46
Yes, that's right, everything goes circular, No question about
47:51
that. We'll take a break, come back
47:52
with one final segment for Pete and Terry before they go into
47:55
the Golden Hall at the first intermission of this Saturday's
47:57
game against the Calgary Flames here on The POP.
48:02
Welcome back to the Editor's Official podcast.
48:04
Carrie Hammer, Max Hers, Brooks Bratton, Terry W Be Clever.
48:09
We're just flapping guys. That's.
48:11
A little mis enthusiastic over here, she's ready to go.
48:15
I'm ready to go. This is like our morning
48:16
meetings. I would I would tell people like
48:18
what do you talk about when you go to a morning meeting?
48:20
I'm like well I cackle for the 1st 10 minutes.
48:23
And then I. Come up with I'm going to
48:24
interview because I've been sitting next to Terry, but every
48:28
week I was telling you guys we do a big E person of the week in
48:31
honor of our good friend Erin Donnick.
48:34
As we know we just loved her so awesome.
48:37
So that's. One of her favorite words.
48:39
You're awesome. You're awesome.
48:41
So this week our awesome. Person, you're Rockstar.
48:46
That's your face, Yeah. Let's not use the rest of those
48:49
words. It's going out to Clark Lee,
48:52
head football coach over at Vanderbilt.
48:54
Obviously a huge win by The Commodores this week, college
48:57
game day in the house. But earlier in the week they had
49:00
Clark invited Willie Donnick out and had him come to football
49:04
practice. And at the end, he had Willie
49:08
give the pep talk to the vanity football team.
49:11
Which Willie was not expecting. It was not expecting so huge
49:15
Congrats to Willie because we think, you know, the pep talk
49:19
worked right, Obviously, obviously.
49:21
But what stood out about Clark and and the wind was at the end
49:25
of Willie talking, he shared some thoughts about Aaron.
49:29
As we know, we we just love her. But he had every player say
49:33
relationships are so important. And as we know we're a family
49:36
here. Aaron was part of our family and
49:38
he asked the vanity football team to to pick up someone they
49:41
love or or not pick up, pick up the phone and call someone you
49:44
love. And so, Clarkly, you're awesome.
49:47
The Big E and the big dub so rock on with your bad self.
49:50
Clark Lee and Clark Steve PD you are awesome and we wish Aaron
49:55
could be here on Saturday. So do we special day.
49:57
So do we. That would be very, very special
49:59
for us. You said that was a straight
50:01
face and you didn't even mean it.
50:03
That was perfect. You're done.
50:05
Good son. He's he's going to be a big
50:07
salesman. I'm calling you, gentlemen.
50:09
I'm going to do it one more time.
50:12
I want to finish with this real quick.
50:14
Your legacy. When you think about what you
50:18
want to be remembered for, what comes to mind?
50:21
Especially with this coming up this weekend?
50:24
Just the fact, I think, that we helped guide a lot of people to
50:27
have a lot of fun with the game with which they were not that
50:31
familiar prior to all this. Yeah, I I'm like Pete.
50:35
I just verifying was go heavy, strong, hard on the word fun.
50:41
Everything's been fun, good, bad, indifferent.
50:45
We spent 25 or more years here with a growing city and he, as
50:52
an old man, is responsible. For it and you 2 had more fun
50:57
doing it together than anybody had watching this team.
50:59
I think that's safe to say. Yes, we did.
51:02
We we thoroughly enjoyed it and we still enjoy it.
51:05
Now for the people that the grandparents bringing their kids
51:08
and that keep bringing them, please, because those little
51:10
ones I see running around in our break every night, that's the
51:14
bloodline. That's what we want here.
51:16
I know we're running short on time, but our first year it was
51:20
a Thanksgiving break and this couple came into the game.
51:24
Obviously the wife was about to give birth and I didn't know if
51:27
she gave birth that night or not, but so that was the
51:30
Wednesday before Thanksgiving. On Saturday, they're back at the
51:33
game with the little one. That's that occasion.
51:38
Yes, it is. Well, it's been a heck of a run
51:41
and you guys got a bar out of the deal, so it all worked out
51:44
the. Way it was supposed to.
51:45
Tips are accepted. You can come tip these guys.
51:48
Yeah, or tip us over like we used to tip out.
51:51
But we are so happy for you, we're so proud of you.
51:53
It's going to be an awesome day on Saturday.
51:56
So a 230 start against Calgary on Saturday here at Bridgestone
51:59
Arena. And like we said, the first
52:00
intermission, don't get up and go get your cotton candy and
52:03
your funnel cakes. You got to stay in your seats.
52:06
These two gentlemen are much more exciting than anything else
52:09
going. On you guys can't get cotton
52:10
candy either. You've got something to do on
52:14
Saturday. No, So we're super excited to
52:16
see that. Congratulations on making it
52:19
into the Predators Golden Hall. We're so happy, we're so proud.
52:23
What a pleasure and honor it is to know you both and and all.
52:27
Serious. Because you know what?
52:28
That in all serious and whatnot, you said that with a straight.
