• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was pretty surreal, you know, you know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the group of us kind of when I was in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Area Zona was at Canoughton Goldgowski, you know, Marty, me
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Richardson and and seeing him kind of evolve as a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: player and a father and a husband and and you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: when I was with him, he had no kids, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: now he's got three, three beautiful kids, and he's such
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a good guy, and it's weird. You like, it's probably
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the only guy since I've retired that you know, I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: rooted for all the guys that I played with, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: like I really wanted it for him. I really was
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: like just the human being he is. I was like
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: so excited. My wife flew in. Jill flew in and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: was funny enough, got a random ticket in a suite
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: with Lisa Ander Pump and Flavor Flav. Flavor Flavor was
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: sitting behind her at the game yelling yeah, and she
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: somehow my wife found her way on the ice as
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: well when they gave out the cup randomly, so Jill
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: was on the ice too.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: So she won once again. She won the Olympics and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: then now she wins the Stanley Cup. Holes. But it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was a crazy feeling watching him. I got right on
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the ice. They led us on right when he left
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: with the cup, so it was incredible. And then as
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: soon as he put it down, he came sprinting over.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: We had a big hog. Got to interview him, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you know, he it was pretty cool, Like, we asked
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: him some questions and then I said, you know, when
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you started playing, you have no kids, and now you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you got Chase Ivy Lane and you got you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: three beautiful kids, and what what does this mean to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you for them? And you know, he said in an
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: amazing line, He's like I woke up Chase today and
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I said, hey, like I'm gonna win this one for you,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and like this is something you're gonna remember the rest
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: of your life, like this is this is a moment
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: for you, and I'm doing this for you. And it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: was just a beautiful kind of moment when he talked
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: about it, and he ended it with a Mista spechna
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: cough and then proceeded to be the drunkest guy and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the Carolina Hurricanes. But yeah, it's just an amazing thing
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: watching guys accomplished this two months hardest trophy to win.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And Nate, you've seen it and seen guys that have won,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and it's it's tough as a player to watch it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: but it's like it's it's amazing to really see and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: understand like what these guys go through. But it's just crazy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're fucking what a team.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: It's uh, the best way to put it, I think
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: as a as a former player watching not when it,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: like you said, being tough, it's like it's like staring
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: at the sun.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: You want to look at it, but you can't look
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: at it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just because you just you just have
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: to keep watching because it's so it's it's so special
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and you know, but it's amazing to watch and like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: because you were there, JD. I was watching on TV.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: But the thing that like jumped out at me was
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: watching the guys react to Rod Brindemore and and I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: think it's I don't think you see that, like obviously
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: guys react to coaches, but it was a different dynamic
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: where I don't know, you were there, you saw it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Like it was every single guy in the team like
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: made a point to go give him a hug, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: they each had a conversation with them.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: The way the way.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: They were like taking him in and made it such
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: such about him, it was it was, Uh, it was
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: really impressive and something special that I like I've never
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: seen before with other teams. And you just see how
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: important Rod is to those guys, all right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I mean we talked to him we talked to a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys and every guy we asked, like, you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: what is Rod kind of brought to this team and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to the the glowing reviews from all these guys and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: saying like how much that he means to them? And
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: like Spashonaho was like, he means the world to me,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Like the conversations we've had, the mentor he's been. You
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: know Martinook as well, you know Brendan Bussy talking about
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: how it's just amazing when a coach can thread that
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: needle of being like because he is a guy that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: demands so much, but yet guys do it willingly and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: love him so much, and you know, it's pretty rare
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: for a team to stick with a coach. It hasn't
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: won for this long and like have hasn't had playoff success,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: but you could just see like as a human and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: what a fucking body on this guy. Literally he took
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: his shirt off. I was like, I was like, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: gotta get back in the gym. I'm like, I can't
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: let some like fifty something year old look like this
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and I'm just you know, eating cheetos on my bed
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and Eminem's at two thirty in the morning after come
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: back from omnia and just being like ugh, and this
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: guy like.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: To Thomas SICKI Rod Brittemore six percent body fat because
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: if you said to me, punch in the face, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: think it's like it's two.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And a half. If it's insane, he's fucked Greek god chiseled.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like it's just amazing, I think. And everything
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: needs to line up for you to win a Cup.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of luck that goes into it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: But you know what Tulsky did, like that fricking nerd,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: absolute rain man, put together this team and like just
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: this perfect team that fits so well and like everything
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: anytime somebody kind of dropped off, somebody picked up the slack,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Anderson goes down, Bussy comes in, you know, Jankowski scores
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a big goal, you know, there's an injury, you know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Sean Walker steps up, when Slaven struggling counter. It was
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it just like it was absolute domination. I mean three losses,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that's so impressive and so incredible by this team in
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this in the Stanley Cup run and one of the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: best easiest you could say they had an easy run,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but I mean they they took care of business.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Man, especially in Game six. I mean it was amazing
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: at the second intermission when Steve Levy was just beside himself,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: like they can't even get a shot. It's been like
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: twelve minutes they haven't got a shot on goal. I mean, ultimately,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Golden Knights twenty two shots, Busty pitches a shutout.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Stan Covin's line delivers once again. And just like JD
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: mentioned that, there was the historic run. So sixteen and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: three through four rounds a gold differential plus twenty seven.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: That's the fewest losses in a Cup run since Colorado
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: went sixteen and four and twenty twenty two. This is
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the better stet to me. The last team to sustain
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: three or fewer losses on the way to a Cup
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: run the Oilers sixteen to two and eighty eight. So
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this is a true juggernaut we saw here, Nate Overall,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you lose game on the conference father in the Montreal
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: six to two. Then they won four straight. They lost
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Game three, double over ten to fall behind two one.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: That's the point me and tow were feeling good. We
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: both called Vegas to win the series. You both called
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: knes and six. They come back from that one, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: obviously important loss and it get your down two one
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we did with three straight wins. This Carolina run that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you look back and say, Okay, this wasn't just a strong,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: concerned effort. This is one of the great teams we've
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: seen in hockey history in terms of a sustained playoff run.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It has to be one of the most dominant performance performances,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I think in the whole playoffs, just from start to finish.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And I think the thing that is so impressive about
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: this team is their resolve, Like after they would lose
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: a game, it would be they would find another level.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And we saw this even in this in the Stanley
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Cup finals. You know, we saw it in all the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: other series, but especially in the finals where we didn't
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: really know what was going on. The first four games
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: we really didn't. We were kind of like, who's going
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to step up here, Who's going to come to the forefront.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And you could just see Carolina like they knew just
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: how confident they were, and they knew they weren't playing
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: their game. And then game five it clicked and I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: think obviously we have to go back. I mean, I
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: think it's easy to say that, you know, there's a
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: few different reasons, but I mean with the way Brandon
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Bussy played and he came he comes back, JD and
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: uh in that game four and and it just that
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: was it, Like it was a different team and they clicked,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and they went back home and put on an absolute
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: you know, a clinic in game five, and then did
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the exact same thing in game six. Maybe more so,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: We're like last night Vegas couldn't get the middle of
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the ice. They couldn't they couldn't do anything. They were
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: one and done. I know they had chances, but to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: me it was one yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Late, you know they had a yea, yeah, they didn't push,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: but like, I mean, no, in the was it in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the first Oh dude? In the first that Marc Andre
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Fleury is saved, that Bussy makes you like a second
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: left on the shoulder and the one timer too after Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: it's a game of inches. They had chances, you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Michael hits the crossbar and and I I kind of
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the whole playoffs in the first couple of games of
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is a team of destiny. It's
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: like it just feels like it. We're kind of all like, yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: this is over. They just had that swag, that feeling.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you see all the stuff coming out?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Like the trainer had the what do they call it,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the blue collar presses? Did you see that? We should
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: get this clip, but like it's called the blue collar presses.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: He had a thirty five pounds cinderblock in the gym.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Oh I heard that was part of a workout, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I think Rod sneakily did it because the exact way
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to the cup, and they were trying to build a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: mindset of like lifting the cup and it was part
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: of the workouts. And it's just like, you know, all
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the little things that they did and were preparing and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and you know, I mentioned Tulsky, but I don't know
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: what you guys think, but to me, I'm like I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: was thinking about it when I landed off the play,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and like it seems to really work. When you get
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the analytics guy that as a GM that has like
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: an ex player as a head coach that understands of
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the pedigree, it seems to just fit so perfectly. You know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: you have a guy that's understood, like he understands the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: analytics side, and you know a coach that's willing to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: kind of embrace it a little bit, but also be
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: like this is the way we're playing. Find me players
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: that are going to play this system. I don't care
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: what you what we pay doesn't have to be you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the rant and ins or the gen souls, could be
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: anybody and it just fits so perfectly. Like that is
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: such a good dynamic. And I remember, you know we
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: talked about Jordan Martinok. Jordan Martinok had a deal signed
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: in San Jose before he signed this last deal he
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: was signed, it was done, and Rod found out and
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: went into the room and told Telsky, like, pay him
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the fucking money. Nice and they signed him and like
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: just think if he'd a left love that that was fuck.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: That was it. That was probably it. And I probably
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: butchered the story a little bit, but I mean it's
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it's in the vein of that, like he was kind
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: of gone, they didn't want to pay him, and Rod's like, no, like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: this guy can help us win. I don't care what
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: you think about analytics or the money's worth it, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: kind of took him out of that mode of playing moneyball.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And then I mean he's one of the most impactful
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: guys on their team on this Cup run.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: He's a part of that Fab five you called it
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: last night. You like that. I like that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I like it when I get a hold of JD.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: But it's a good drink, drink, drink and drink NHL
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: for Jason Emers.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say from the Vegas perspective, those fellas.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know it was a great run. Nobody
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: expected him to go to the Cup file especially with
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: this season and in Torty Ella comes and he might
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: come back, but losing while Bill Carlson JD. I mean,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: he helped turn the Golden Knights around when he returned
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to the lafter the second round series against Anaheim that
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: forced him to miss Game six. Obviously it's by Sean
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Walker there. Vegas was flat without him in terms of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: turning points in the series. I know you can be
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: really impressed with what Vegas did. Lee's fans thrilled that
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Mitch Marner disappeared late in the series. I think Carlson
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: going out, Mitchie disappearing, but Brandon Bussy to me, this
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: guy got claimed on Waivers October fifth. Think about that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The Panthers just didn't need him, like we have a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Broxky we're good, and they picked this guy up. He
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: wins thirty one games and he stepped in when they're
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: down two to one. I don't know which to you
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and JD. Carlson going down, Mitchie or Ikeel disappearance, Bussy
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: get in the call. What turned the series ultimately for you?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I think Vegas was. I think Vegas is more beat up.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I think we're gonna hear some stuff coming out from
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: some icle. Didn't look for a lot of guys. Icle
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: didn't look right, you know. Carlson gets hurt, shatters his rest.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's how good Sean Walker was. Listen. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: just think Vegas had a good team. But this Carolina
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: team is just just built so well, and I think
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: they just wear you down, wear you down, and then yeah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you're right, Like Anderson played like shit in the start
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of the series. But we kind of said heavyhead, heavy
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the head that wears the crown and also heavy the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: head that he had a you know, somebody close to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: him pass away. And I feel like it was a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: lot emotionally. They protect him and they go right to Bussy,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: which I thought that was a mistake Vegas made. Was
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: going even though Carter Hart played good last game. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: think they should have went to Hill at one point
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: in the series. I think I don't know what John
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Tortorella had against Aiden Hill, but guy won a cup.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: He can maybe come in and give you some good minutes.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: But well, that's the stupidest question I've been asked.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Oh he was stuff. Yeah, he's stuffed Johnny Lazarus in
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a locker. So good, so great, But yeah, you know
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: it's he made He made the saves when it counted,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and I just think he again, I think we all
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: forgot like if Freddy went down and everybody was like, oh, Bussy,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Like what do you do with bussy? Dude, the guy
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: won thirty one games, like yeah, but he wasn't great
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: at the end of the year. I'm like, yeah, he
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: won thirty one games, lost six, and like, the guy
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: can still play so many goalies that did that, So
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: whether he struggled a little bit late, I mean, it's like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I think they would have won in four if Freddy
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: was like kind of played half decently he played in
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: round one, I think they would have. They could have
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: swept Vegas easily. I think so. So yeah, So I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: just think it's I think for Vegas. It's they had
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to me. The biggest thing for Vegas wasn't necessarily and
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you could touch on this to Nate, wasn't necessarily Mitch.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: You know, Mitch did disappear in the last couple of games.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And I think Carolina just finds a way of figuring
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: teams out and Jack might have been banged up, but
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: their decoor of fucking Rasmus Anderson and Noah Hannafin and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I listen, it's hard to play in the NHL. Ray
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Ferraro said, the biggest mistake he can make being a
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: broadcasters thinking the games easy and you forget about it,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: but they were atrocious. Like I don't know how much
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: money Rasmus Anderson costs himself in that series because he
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: turned out what nine by seven, what's Vegas gonna do?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like he's signing there.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: No, he was noticeably just not good.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know, I mean, yeah, I think
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: that was a big difference between the two teams, was
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: their decore. I mean you could see it, especially as
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the series went on. And you know, to your point
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: about Bussy and and William Carlson, I think like William
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Carlson he was kind of the glue that held those
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: like held the forward lines together and put everyone in
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: their spots. And then I honestly think it's you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: it was more Carolina. It's more Carolina, and how good
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: they were and how suffocating like Jack Eichel, those guys
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: had nothing last night. Like every time you saw one
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: guy with the puck, there were two or three Carolina
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: guys around him, and it was a turnover and back
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the other way. I mean, just as how Taylor Hall
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: scored his goal turnovers.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: It was Jesus Christ Superstar. It was the r It
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: is the rate. It was the ring. What is that
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the rainbow Code of Dreams or whatever. It's the name
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, Superstar, Jacob's slave and with that stick,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: unbelievable power compels you, The power of Christ compels you
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to play defense.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Well, nobody was going to crucify what Jordan Stall was
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: able to do. I mean, this guy was unbelievable. With
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the Finals for the ages, tying go up a tip
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in during the first period of Game five, scored in
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: his fifth straight Finals game, tying a record held by
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Yvonne Cornway. With the habs and seventy three on Bellbot
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: on fifty six. Maurice was shared in fifty one of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the course Nate's all time favorite cyclone Taylor the Vancouver Millionaires.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: In nineteen eighteen, Jordan Stall, thirty seven, becomes the oldest
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: player to win the con smyth. His seventeen years being
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: cup wins the longest gap in NHL history. I think
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it's the right call, JD because before he might have
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: thought was Freddie Anderson. Of course he disappeared in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Cup final. Sankowen may have gotten a few votes, but
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Stall this is an irresistible story. I mean, thirty seven
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: years of age, He's a hulking presence out there. He's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: such a physical player, and he had the lightning touch
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: with the goal scoring. I mean it was incredible for
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the Stall family and for Jordan specifically.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tough one when a guy gets twelve points,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: though and he wins the Con. Smith. I think there's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit, you know Jackson Jackson Blake led the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: team in points, didn't go talked about. I mean, you
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: could have gave it to that second line, but I
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: just it was more I think what Stall did all
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: playoffs long of just his I mean he had I
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: think in the Stanley Cup finals he got the record
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: for the best face off percentage in the Stanley Cup
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: finals at sixty eight percent, and during the whole playoffs,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I think he was like sixty four percent, which is nay,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you're a face off guy like that, like generally speaking,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like fifty four to fifty five, Like you're a great
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: face off guy, like over sixty man, Like have you
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: had a year like that? And also like how fucking
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: difficult is that action? Because he's not just doing it
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: in the easy zones, he's in the D zone. When
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: he gets he's got to go on his wrong side too.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: That's absurd for people that don't know what face off
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: percentage ism and and the numbers of it. But anything
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: over like if you're over fifty four percent, that's that's
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: way above average, Like that's you're getting up into top fifteen,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: top twenty. If you're over sixty percent, it's.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Elite, elite, elite, elite, Like it's that's you're.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Winning almost every single face off and obviously you know
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: you're gonna win more on your strong side than your
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: off side. But yeah, what he did in the face
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: off circle, I mean that's that's that's crazy. I mean
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you saw the company he was with it. I think
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: it was Eiserman and Jonathan Taze and just you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: some big time guys. So yeah, that's that's that's on
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: another level. To be able to do that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: He gets seventeen to twenty one conspt votes, Haul got
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the other four fifty six point eight percent of face
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: offs for Stall in the playoffs, So remarkable work from
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: him from start to finish. Again, we talked about Brinda Moore.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: It was fifty eight, you said fifty eight point four.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Tallas is fifty six point eight.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it was sixty sixty eight in the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: finals finals. Yeah, but that's still like over close to sixty.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: It's it's astronomical.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: The highest I ever finished during the regular season I
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: think was fifty five or fifty six. In the playoffs,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I think one year I had finished over sixty. But like,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: that's that's incredible what he did. I think I was
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: right around sixty, but to do sixty eight is.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Like in the finals, yeah, and then score and then
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: shut down the top line.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: And on top and to his credit, like Vegas is
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: not a bad face off team, like Nick Jacket, all
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: those guys are good face off guys, and he cleaned
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: them up. So just puts in perspective.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: One more thought and the Hurricanes will move on. So
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: flowers at Taylor Hall Andnate becomes the sixth player in
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: hockey history back to first overall, win's the Heart Trophy,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: wins the Cup. The others are Gela Flurr, Mario Lemieux,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Patrick Kane, Alex Ovechen, and Sidney Crosby. Remarkable at Taylor
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Hall at this stage of his career, who's had lots
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of ups and downs. Unlike those other players. Those guy's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: been pretty consistent. Taylor Hall was getting smacked around and salted,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: washed up, et cetera. Now he's back hell of a resume.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: It's really impressive because of over the last you could say,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: five to ten years, of how much Taylor Hall has
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: changed his game and evolved, and how he played during
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. Like I was listening to I think you
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: heard this JD. Trip Tracey compared him to almost Sam
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Bennett a little bit of how he was playing and
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: how physically he was. It might be a little bit
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: extreme comparison, but he did. He had shades of that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: The way he was physical, just just that second line.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I mean how well they played together. But I think
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Taylor Hall, I mean just how much he's evolved and
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: what you think of him when he won MVP with
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: New Jersey and then what he is now. I mean
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to me, like I look at him and watch him play,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: He's a complete hockey player now. I mean he's just
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: and he fits perfect in that system. And man, good
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: for him, Jady, this is it's great to see Taylor
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Hall have this much success.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Do you throw? Is he? Is he a candidate with this?
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You know, we had a conversation and a debate about this.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Is he in the Hall of Fame with this m
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But no, he might be the first guy that gets
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: this and doesn't go in the Hall of Fame.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's a Hall of Famer yet personally, but like.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have much. You know, he's a couple of
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: two three years left right, It's just compossible. But you
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, isn't that crazy? Like, listen, name
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: those names that you just named for that have the
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: same feet as him.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. When you go Gila Floor, Mario Lemu,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Patrick Kane, Alex Ovechkin, Sydney Crosby all no doubt hall
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: of famers.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: You maybe isn't that crazy to have that, to have
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: those feats and and not be probably not be considered.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: He's been on too tops.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Two World championships if you want that as well.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, you put Shaye Weber in the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. Fuck this point, all right, I can't
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame if Weber.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: You don't like that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: How about Brinda Moore as a Hall of Famer one
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and eighty four points a Cup as a player to Selkies,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy eight wins as a coach, Jack
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Adams a in a Stanley Cup.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: He's gonna I think he's gonna get He's gonna get
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: in by being a coach. He's gonna get in as
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: a coach, which I think's gonna be. No, I don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: think he's I don't think he's in as a player, No,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so. I think he's a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: great player. I don't think he goes in as a player,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: but I think as a coach he gets in. This
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is gonna put him.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: In, so far he'll go to the eight more seasons
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's gonna coach forever. Yeah, because again,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: if he gets every cann from there, he's picked up
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: in half a second.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I could get both player and coach.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Could be doubled up double debt, double dutch, double dip,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: all right before we.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Come back here, double NHL script. Hello nurse, you can't
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: fire me? I quit? What's Darnell Nurse thinking in Edmonton?
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Plus sackic backs his avs and a season recap when
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: we come back in a seas fifty Hello nurse from
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the you can't fire me? I quit? Files word at
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Edmonton's defenseman, Darnel Nurses requested Tree. After twelve years of
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the Oilers, Edmontons are probably trying to get out of Nurses.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Wait for it, nine point twenty five million dollar a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: year contract practices the moment he's signed in twenty twenty one,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: coming off the hils of Dylan Larkin trade demand where
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the Edmonton could named Mike Babcock their next head coach.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Nurse asking out four years left in his contract, JD
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: A lot to digest your first and foremost. The number
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is huge. I mean you're not gonna get value back
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: if you're Edmonton. But Thomas Heiki made the point to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: me on NHL tonight on the off day. He goes,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: imagine if you look at it like Seth Jones, we
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: love Jonesy by the way, Gustar NHL scripted, like, he's
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: not worth that salary, but you can still go and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: be an effective second pair defenseman. So team trading for
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Darnell and Nurse, you gotta get in your head. You're
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: not getting nine point two five million years. It's not
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: good value. But can you still get a guy who
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: can be effective defenseman? Yeah, but Edmondton, there is no
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: compulsion to trade him right away. Like you're not gonna
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: bend me over and make me trade your buddy. You
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: got four years, nine point twenty five. We're gonna need
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to get some money back and to get some prospects.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: How do you handle this if you're the Oilers and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you think Nurses said, you know what, I know you
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: guys want to get ready to anyways, I'll get up
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: before you ship me out.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not to mention what he only gave
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: like two teams too, right, you gave like Penguins and
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: La imagine him back with Cody CC and Kenny Holland
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: A listen, Darnell Darnell. The issue with Darnell is always
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: just the money. Like right, I like Darnell at Jake
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Wallman's contract. I don't like Jake Wallman at Jake Wallman's contract.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot more trouble than people think. And
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I listen, I like Jake woman as a player, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: again I'm all for players getting paid. I want them
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to absolutely bend over teams and take them to the
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: woodshed day in and day out, because it's just the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: way I'm a player. But objectively looking at it and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: speaking from the analyst perspective at seven million, I think
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Darnold's a good defenseman to have on your team. I
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: think he's good. I think it's it's not like that's
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: it's the issues is he's making nine point twenty five,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: nine point three, So I think a team's going to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: take a shot on him if there's retention, and I
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: would spend. I would give a pick and maybe a
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: prospect to get, especially if Darnette, like I'm I was
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: looking at the Sharks. I think the Sharks would be
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: a perfect fit for him.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Nice, do you think you've got to beep up their defense.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: You get a veteran guy, veteran guy, but I don't
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: know if he wants to go there. Pitt. You know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: you look at Pitt with Philly. Philly's another one. Like
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of teams. I think that would do
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: really good with him at the right number. So I
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: think I think both parties are in a good position. Now,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: can Stan Bauman just not trip over his dick and
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: make a good trade?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: What well, he's gonna get more than two teams from Darnel.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: You need to get more teams.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: You can't demand the trade and I'll go to these
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: two places.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Like, no, dude, I love that. But the power of
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the NHL.
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Edton's fault too though, Oh you're right, it is Edmonton's fault.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: You give him the contract.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had been a huge year that year
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: and they were stuck. They had to pay him.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Meantime, after having a GM Chris pick Felm poached by Nashville,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Colorado President acting general maner Joe sacking at his end
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: ofca's and media availability the other day made it clear
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: no plans to shake up the roster. Following their disappointing
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: conference final swoop the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights. Sakic said,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: this team, what they've done over the course of the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: year was pretty remarkable, and I want to give them
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: opportunity to try and do it again. Sakic made it
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: clear Jared Bednoll would be back. The roster will remain intact.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Remember they acquired Dawson Cadriy, bry Kolac, Nicholas One, Nick
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Blackenberg similar to do Kulak Blackenberg, Brent Burns All entering
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: unrestricted free agency. Jack Drury becomes a restricted free agent.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: What would you do, Nat, if you're Joe Sakic makes
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: sense to kind of stan pat so to speak, bednarse
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: days and you try to resign those guys, who'ld you
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: make some other moves?
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: No, I'm listening to Joe Sakkik. The last time Joe
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Sackeck was the GM, they won. So I think you
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: look at their team and I would agree with that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's if they can bring back pretty much
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: close to the same team, it's going to serve them well.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: And uh, you know, we talked about it a lot
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: of the playoffs, and you know they obviously they have
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: tough matchup being in the division they're in, but a
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: lot of playoffs is a little bit of luck and
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: a little bit of uh, staying healthy. And I think
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: part of, you know, part of them losing was you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: some big injuries and some guys being hurt, you know,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: notice noticeably Cale mccarr the biggest one. But I would
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: run it back. I think that this team is still
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: primed to win. They're still in the window and they
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: have all the guys to do it with with what
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: with what they did.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't don't get too horny and think you need
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: to change everything. And I would go back to Dallas.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: We lost in Game seven to Saint Louis, uh, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: they just kind of got rid of a lot of
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: got rid of a lot of us, started retooling. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: love Jim Nill, but uh, you know, I think, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I probably say, it's just because I wanted to stay
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: and they didn't and they didn't want me back. But
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I think if they wouldn't have changed too much that year,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: we could have made another run on it, because that
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: was like the year you know, Jamie won the Art
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Ross and second was injured in that playoffs, and if
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: we had seconds in that series, we would have probably
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: beat taken care of Saint Louis and then been on
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and off to the races. So for me, I sometimes
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: overtweaking can hurt it, just like Nate said. So it's
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: like just relaxed, they calm, Maybe beef up the bottom
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: two lines, Ross Colton, trade him out of there, try
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: to get something a couple of pieces. Maybe maybe ask
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Brent Burns if he's willing to come out of the
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: farmland and play one more year maybe, which I think
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Ray Borke did lift the Cup his second year and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: called I don't know his first good point.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You don't forget that like that, Roy porg I'm glad
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Burnsy JD because that gets us to our
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: season recap. As far as the highlights of the season.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Nate can take the US beating.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Campas segue and then you know, I do good segues
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: for you, very good segway.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Burnsy playing in his one thousandth career game, I mean,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: pretty remarkable one thousandth game. John Tara Course replacing Bruce
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Casti Kane again for the Americans like Nate one thousand,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy fifth career point passing Mike Madonna
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: most points been an American player. But to me, the highlight,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: of course is the Buffalo Sabers. I mean, fourteen win
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and thirty point improvement, finishing first the Atlantic, first playoffs
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: series in nineteen years. That to me was the highlight
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: of the season. JD. For you, what do you got Ovechkin, Schaeffer, Kane.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Highlight of the season excluding playoffs.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when someone says you, hey, what are you most
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: thinking about the season, I'm gonna say, Man, those Buffalo Sabers.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: That was an awesome story.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Buffalo run was pretty incredible. I think with
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: everything that happened with Ras Mustalin and his fiance and
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: for you it might be.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Celebrini, me mcattack just his coming up party.
• 29:04

  Speaker 2: Tal wants Montreal ting, Nate wants Little Carlson the Ducks
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: or or or something in the Kings.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Became Ate us beating Canada.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, you got us beeding Canada? Okay? Perfect segments done, onto.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The all right, from looking back to looking for.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Can I take Buffalo?
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: The Buffalo?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: No, you can talk about Dolan because that's a great
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: human interesting.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. Just that story with Dolly and
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: his fiance and fighting that that just incredible battle that
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: she fought, and then him dealing with that being the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: captain rallying the troops, and I mean just the city
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: of Buffalo absolutely elated to be back in the playoffs
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and went around stuff for him. Your bar, Bill tavern.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: God, I love that place.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Nate again for USA hockey forty six year Olympic drought.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Fans will never forget that in America.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty pretty crazy.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Look back on it now and see that, uh, you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the men and women win gold and the way they
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: did it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: I know it was tough. I don't want to keep
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: going into it. We don't have to keep bringing it up.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it was.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: It was awesome and I and I would give honorable mention.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I'd give honorable mention to Montreal to I think that was.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: That was a nice storyteller, and that was it was
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: fun to watch and it was fun to go there
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: to watch the games too, So that was I'd say
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: that was a highlight for sure.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: To rehab.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Nate knows he's paying respect, all right, from looking back
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: looking forward summertime storylines to look forward to Leave's gonna
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: hire a head coach they got the first pick, could
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: be McKenna, core making some other moves. Oilers could be
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: hiring Mike Babcock and trading Darnell Nurse.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Well, do you see the news came out?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: What's that Babcock?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Now they're officially starting the investigation.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to happen.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: No, they're doing it Elliott. Elliott just announced it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying the NHLP is going to dig into
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: more stuff and listen, we have more reason why Babcock
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: should not be hired, and once that other stuff gets out,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: they'll try to sway the oilers.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I'm with Avy on that one. Toot.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think comes up
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: like he was?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: The stories you would begin an investigation was he was he.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Was lurking outside? What was he like, lurking outside the
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: showers or something? What do you think it is?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: The nhl PA is a strong for am organization. If
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: guys went publicly and privately and said, listen, this is
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: what happened, he shouldn't be coaching. Eventually that work's going
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: to get out.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: No, I know, but I'm like her.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Had they told the Olways say hey, look hell for
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the Baptists are a guy, They go, okay, well, here's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: what happened. Here's what we got on it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Here's what happened. Is it worth it? Is it that worth? It?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Is worth it?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Like like that much of an investigation just to get
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: your head coach hired.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I heard I heard something that I cannot say because
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: we've betrayed the trust is somebody, but it's it's if
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: it does come out, it's pretty crazy, like how this,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: how they how they wanted, like how they pursued Babcock
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: and why they pursued him. It's pretty wild. We can't
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: say it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I'll give you three leaving climax ah.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: It is called the tantric massage of Insiders.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: That's JD on the verge of climaxing. That's kind of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the Red Wings. No playoff appearances since twenty sixteen, no
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: playoff series wins since twenty thirteen, and their captain once out.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: The Jets went from President's Trophy to out of the playoffs,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and the Florida Panthers are expected to bounce back from
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: a disappointing season. Which of those three teams you're most
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: excited about focusing on this summer? Red Wings, Jets are
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the Panthers. We're gonna go and try and get Dylan Larkin.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Vegas ends up getting I think I'm
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: just gonna go back to Vegas. You know, Nate said, listen,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: things need to fall into place this team. I think
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: they're gonna go get like two big pieces this summer.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised. Connor Hollybuckets moved. I think Dylan
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Larkin maybe goes to Vegas.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I think I think we're gonna be in for crazy,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: crazy summer. There's a couple of big names.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Do you think hell abut to Vegas?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I heard Floyd. I mean I think maybe.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Florida out thirty seven, see.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: You, Bob out goes sign somewhere else, or if they resigned,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Bob Vegas goes and gets them too. I wouldn't be
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: surprised Vegas gets them. You don't need to you get
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: rid of hurdle, you don't. You don't resign. You trade
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Doria to you trade Doria and Heart Well, you probably
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: can't trade hard to Winnipeg. You got probably gotta keep
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: them out of Canada coming.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Back, Right's yeah, because Carlson's probably not coming back.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: Right, So there you go, there's Larkin.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: In market, right fucking it's crazy, man, Like I that
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I can say. I heard inside the Kremlin. I heard
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be a push for a couple of big names.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Why would the Jets trade.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Hellibuck because he wants out out?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: But just just listen, you're stuck in a peck portage
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: in Maine. You deal with it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I'm with I'm with you, like I'm waiting for a
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: GM like there's no move stuffs really becoming an issue,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I think for teams, and I'm just waiting for like
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: like Stevie Whider bringing Dylan Larkin be like, hey, buddy,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: we'll see a training camp and if you don't want
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: to come to training camp, go sit at home. You
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: ain't getting traded, Bud.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that's possible, Like, if I can find it,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I'll do it. But I'm not going to be hamstrung
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: by a player who wants to.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Leave no shovel day off. Might just walk in and
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, hell a buck, put on your goddamn
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: pads you're going out there.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: They're not rumors about Stevie Whye how he negotiates. He's stubborn. Man,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: If I negotiated contracts with the guy, he's he's not
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: going to blink. He's not going to blink first. I
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: don't think so.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a possibility, Judy. I could totally see
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: him being like, all right, Dylan, you're you're staying home
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: And you're not the scene anymore, but you'll be on
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the third line. You'll get fifteen minutes a night. Just
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: destroy your career.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, Nate, imagine like you want to
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: humiliate me, i'llhumiliate you. You can play the team and
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I'm taking away the sea. How do you feel about that?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Suck it and play and you don't want to play,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: sit in the stands. That's what That's what they should
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: did with Willy Nielander. That's the Willy Nielanders started it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Not to listen. You pay the players. I love the
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: players getting paid. But if I was a GM and
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Willi Knelander that year he sat out, great, see you
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You're flipping off cameras. You showed up with a wife beater,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you're going to banks.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Then no, but when he sat out for his contract,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: when he held out stay home.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Toronto, Yeah, if what does my like that's
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: another team? Is Montreal revisit the trade that they wanted
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: to make or did make at the deadline, Like I mean,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: it's another team that I wonder. Like they're gonna make
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: moves too, Like they're gonna make a move too. Yeah,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: they always do that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna make a move.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chik is gonna have his hands full for sure.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be an interesting summer. I'm excited, Michelle.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: And of course we'll be hearing NHL scripted. We'll take
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a hiatus at some point, but we'll still have lots
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: of episodes leading up to a course ve agency and
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the NHL Draft, which will be in Buffalo. Time for
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: one more Breaker and Angellan script and we come back,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about Award season as le om Nikita, not
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: lefem Nikida, wins the MVP. That's up next Cinepoud sixty.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Spider Man Noir JD will take over Cinephon sixty. By
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the way, on Thursday of the review of the New
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: he Man movie, Masters of the Universe. But for all
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: those fans of black and white cinema, you'll appreciate Spider
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Man Noir eight part series currently on Amazon Prime. Sorry,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage as a hard bitten detective, very much in
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the style of a Humphrey Bogert, matter of fact Cage.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: So the reason why I did this show because he's
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: hoping this will be a gateway drug for fans to
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: go watch a bunch of Humphrey Bogert film noirs. It's
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: an interesting master for those that saw the Spider Man
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: into the Spider Verse. Remember thinking of all the multiple
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Spider Man's this was the most interesting one. Nicholas Cage
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: black and white, very cool. Amazon Prime, by the way,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: gives you the option of watching it in black away
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: or color. Color is so bastardized. Of course I watched
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: it in black and white and forced my children to
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: do this was.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: You're a fucking purist.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: You gotta kind of watch him black and white. Here,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a Fedora trench coat.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But I really enjoyed it as a guy
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: who just particularly enjoyed superhero material. I enjoyed the fact
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: that it through the prism of a film noir style
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: cage is always entertaining. He's a little old, I will
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: say sixty two now. Sometimes he's not a spry is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Peter Parker here as you might expect, but definitely entertaining.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Some good action sequences and one absolutely crazy sequence in
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: episode six. I don't want to spoil it for anybody,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: but he has this crazy nightmare which I'm not sure
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: if it was appropriatenessary for the children, but with a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: lot of spiders and we'll tough to get out of
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: my brain. Now, there's also a connection you have to
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: spider now war. I believe your friend's mom is in
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: It's a loose connection. My son's friend's mom is an
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: actress and she's in it. So and I'm good friends
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: with with her husband, who's a really nice guy, my
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: buddy George.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: So I will check that out. That's just just life
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: in West Hollywood.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: You will turn on the TV and like you know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: you're freaking dog Walkers starring in some show.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you know, who.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Is George's wife's character in the show. But was there
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a problem?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: I think she's the main love interest. I haven't watched it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: I I've only heard this second hand. But he did
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: mention that she had been like on location, like she'll
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: go away. She's in Canada a lot shooting stuff, so
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: we'll talk about being in Canada and stuff like that.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: So I don't know much about it. I know that
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Nicholas Cage did the voice of like the original Spider
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: Noir in the Yeah Spiders is kind of where this
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: all started. I'm assuming I don't know much about it,
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: but I'll check it out. Her name is Amanda, very
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: nice woman and uh and yeah, looking forward to checking
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: it out.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: All right, props to Amanda and Spotted to war. Make
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: sure to check it out. Correct it was not prime
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah coppra by wish a Coppa, So no hoards show
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: hosted by Keaton Thompson. But great news for JD is
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Nikita kutrov wins the Heart Trophy. You were gonna riot,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you were gonna storm the Capitol built. This would have
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: been January sixth all over again. If it wouldn't be
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: about Trump, it'd be about Kutrof not winning the Herd
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Tuffy longest gap was eight years for Jean Bellabo between
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: nineteen fifty six and nineteen sixty four. But finally it's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: a second time winning after last winning in twenty nineteen
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: top five and voting by the way coach McDavid, McKinnon, mclinsel,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Brainy and Nick Suzuki, who got one first place vote
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: for the heart also one of the closest votes in history.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: That to me was the big takeaway. Jad Cooch beat
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: up McDavid by just ten points. Why was it the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: right choice?
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Because it's Cooch again, just what he did with all
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: the injuries this season. How oh yeah, you wanted a
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: better analysis than that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Was gonna say you were happy for McDavid because you go,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: he won the Pearson that's voted on by your peers.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: This is fifth Pearson. So you're telling me all the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: players think McDavid's the best, but the media got it
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: right giving it to Cooch.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: You're off, Yeah, because we're smarter than the media. But
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: I am media.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: It's I'm saying, so the players should have been making.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Weird Yeah, I listen. I think it's always weird, Like,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: how many times does it happen where guys won both
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: It happened regularly. Probably something we should research.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: I just probably how many games recently.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: The most recent overd think yeah right, yeah last year
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: David the most recent.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah So, I mean, I mean it's sixty forty that
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: it happens.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: For Hello book right, HELLI book corner. He was Heart
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Bezida right.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, Heart and Ben for Hell Yeah.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I just wonder so. But I mean, listen, uh Cooch
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: what he did with the injuries to that team this year? Again,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: the points everything, I mean, he means a tight race.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: McDavid has dry sidles, so I guess you can kind
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: of kick it back and forth. I think Coach, it's
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: more a righting of the wrong because you got robbed
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago badly make good yeah yeah,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: and then the yeah to make good right because at
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, it's all fugezy. It's for gaz,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: it's awazi. You know what. You know how I feel it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: You know how I feel a wo wall Street.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: It's a fugazy it's the guy.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I feel about awards and awards ceremonies.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: You all just think it's ridiculous, all right, well, end
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: of your accolades. And then there Coach Rock pick game
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of both, making the first NHL Allstar Team, Jason robertson
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: that kind of his eye opening, McCart warnsk in the
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: back end, vassilevskiin net. Second team, McKinnon, Pasternach, Cole Kowfield,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Raspistali and your boy Evan Bouchard couldn't get up for Dorris,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: but he does get in the second team most start.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: And Logan Thompson. This was a bit surprising. He was
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: not a VESNA finalist, but he is a second All
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Teams star. Like, what do you think of that?
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: JD?
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I thought the Logan Thompson, you know,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: that's a little surprise. I don't think he deserved it.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I had him even at some points this year in
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the Vesnik. Yeah, I mean I I it is what
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: it is. Do I think? Do I pay? I'll be honestly,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: do I pay a ton of attention to these All
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Star teams? Probably not probably as much as the guys do.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Am I surprised by it? I mean, yeah, I'd like
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: to see Logan probably get him a little bit more love.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: He's a little bit more of an underrated, unhralded goaltender.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: In the league.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Back to the question that you post, which you were
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: not prepared for twenty three players have won both, by
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the way, in terms of the Pearson and the Hearts.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: That's it. Wow, But it's not uncommon.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: It's not uncommon. It's so twenty three. Yeah, you're right,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: in one hundred year history. Some have done it multiple times.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Some have won both multiple times.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Mcdavi's done a bunch of times.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, bunch of times.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Last topic here before we saw it off. By the way,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: still we're doing two episodes a week. Stell In cup
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: files over, we're going two episodes a week. I heart
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: once the extra content. We're happy to appease them. J
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Rob Drama the last topic. So the Pride of Arcadia,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: California and eight fourth in the league forty five goals,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: ranked tenth at ninety six points. He's also an RFA.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: They got Miko Ranton, Wyat Johnson, Rupe Hins, Thomas Arlie,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Mero Hazon and Jake Ottinger the cap. All those guys
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: are in the cap. Obviously, next season, what does Dallas
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: do if he asked for twelve to fourteen million dollars.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: He's on the first team All Star team. Do you
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: trade Jason Robertson because he's too expensive, or do you
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: deal with those other guys?
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: First off, I was surprised he was on the first
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: all the first team that didn't make exactly Cole Kafeel's
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: got more goals than him, and that that was weird
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: to me. I didn't understand that. But whatever, I mean,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: I don't pick those things, So I yeah, it depends.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess if he's around twelve, I mean,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: or if he's fourteen, I guess those are That's that's
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: a lot. That's a big difference. I think you got
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: to try and keep them. I mean, that's a lot
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: of goals to give up, and and goals don't grow
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: on trees, and those guys don't grow on trees, is
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: what I really want to say is And so I think,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: if you're Dallas, you gotta find a way to resign him.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: And if you don't, I mean you gotta you're gonna
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: get a big return. But I think JD I don't know.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a lot of goals. He's almost he's
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: pretty much a fifty goals scored, a hundred point guy
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: every year. So I think those guys are hard to
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: come by, So you gotta find a way to get
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: it done.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look you look at them seconds last
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: year at nine point eight five, you got why Johnson
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: locked up, Rupe Hans is locked up at pretty good
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: deals do. Shane's got three years left, Sam Steele's got
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: a year left, Jamie Ben you need to resign potentially
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Adam Irn, Michael Bunting, Nathan Bastien, and then you have
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Maverick Bork who's probably get a little bit of a
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: bump R too. Haruri a rere r two yes, and
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: then you have Robertson. I listen, I think it's going
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: to be more question of what Segond does this year.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I think he's probably done. I can't imagine he might
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: try to come back, but yeah, he's had a lot
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: of surgeries. Man, So you want I think, right? Yeah,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: So if I'm Jim Nail, I maybe approach him and say, like,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: how badly do you want to play? And if you don't,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: we'll let you play out put you on LTI.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: R because I just want the money. I don't really
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: want to play.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I think you pay. I you
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: got to pay Robertson. It's hard to find a pure
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: trigger man like that snipers.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: You've got six guys in Dallas coming for about half
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the cap.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and again the problem is is they're just
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: in such a tough division, so it's like you can't.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: You need to have the best players there, and they
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: just had. I mean, what what scares me more is
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Rupe hints Rupa ants is starting to scare me. Rupas
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: is sar to be a little bit injury prone and
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: not come up in the big moments. And Robertson has
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: been there, He's been available, you know, the best abilities
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: availability and he's been there. So but I know it's
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: hard to not you want to pay those centermen and
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: keep those centermens. So it's gonna be a big offseason
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: for them. It's gonna be really interesting to see what
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: they do. And it's a big year for them because
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: if they don't replicate at least because you look at
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Minnesota's probably the in second to get Dylan Larkin and
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I expect them to get a centerman this offseason. So
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Dallas can't sit on their hands. So yeah, they got
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: to move shot off the pot, move them for some picks,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: but I don't think you'll get enough of a return
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: that what you're gonna like for Jason Robertsons, you gotta
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: pay it second.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: By the way, he's thirty four. But maybe all those
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: injuries have taken their toll. Last topic and I'll feed
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: it to tell. The New York Knicks are NBA champions,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: first time in fifty three years. But JAD know one
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: moment you can appreciate. I know that because now the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Knicks fans are gonna be obnoxious.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: But this was great.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: There's a shot of sign for the Larry David at
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the game four, and the guy tweeted, the Spurs know
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: how to take the leady, you just don't know how
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: to hold the lead. And that's really the most important
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: part of the lead, the holding, which is a reference
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: to Seinfeld episode car Reservation. So the tweet was sent
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: and then on the Rich Iison Show he read it
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to Larry data l Yeah, I saw that, he because
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: that was great. That was so funny, that was brilliant.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Imagine this guy tal Alex ten thirty three just puts
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: that tweet up there and then Larry David got to
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: see it. Well, the rare good things of social media
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: take a reservation.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: There was a great Twitter account back in the day
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: called modern Seinfeld, come up with best tell contemporary Seinfeld idea,
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: and I love one of Jerry and George getting stuck
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: in the craziness of New York just going wild after
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: the Knicks win the NBA Championship. That would be a
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: great episode of Seinfeld. I'd enjoyed that one. Go nixt
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: fantastic run. Speaking of dominant Hurricanes level dominance, I mean
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: what the Knicks did was you.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: See that by theirs they led for seventy two percent.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: There's two ways to look at this. The one hand,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: I do think the resilience of the Knicks is impressed.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: And when they were down to one agains Atlanta, tell
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I said, man, they're Mike Brown's no Tom Thibodeau. This
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: is a must win. And then they lost once in
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: fifty one days, like it was an unbelievable juggernaut. But
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: to Jad's point, the Spurs had double digit leads in
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of every single game. That's a legendary choke.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Job, choking on a big old.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: One more sporting event to gott to talk.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: About Worlder Canada, Well, not just that.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: The one last night I got I caught the end
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: of it was unbelievable world cups.
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: Oh you see at the White House, you have some
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: freedom ship.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Did you see Josh Hokit with Michelle Obama?
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: Man, Yeah, that guy's something he threw up on himself
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: at the media even Well, yeah, like apple sauce.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: He's trying to pretend that he's he's he's weird man,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: He's he's he's a freaking deky Dutch guy.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Kudos Justine though, beat the pub with the all time
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: flex fail when he completely he does it.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: He did a celebration dinner the night before the fight.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: He did and said, he said, it's we've already beat Justin.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: It's a formality and he gets his fucking face caved in.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Last thought from Dana White on Freedom two fifty, I
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: can't afford it. There's no fucking way we do this again.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I'll never do the sphere again, and we'll never do
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: this again. That was his thoughts on staging another White
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: House event.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: So probably the same amount of money. I mean, you
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: gotta think they made it, bady, But guys, we're we're
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: less than a month away than the notorious.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Connor McGregor, conc gregor always yes, you shut your fucking
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: mouth when you're talking to me. Sorry, sorry, I need
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: a nap.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Guys, it's almost a solid hour of a guest. Good
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: way script. The lesson went to tow we don't need
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: a guest every week.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: We can just wait.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Last last one, last one was did you see the
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: World Cup Spain versus Cape cape Verde Cape.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Verda gotta draw. That's incredible for them, what a story.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: The goaltender went from three hundred followers on Instagram to
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: one point eight million. He was he's an electrician, one
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: of the players on Cape Verday's team. They signed him
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: via LinkedIn message said you didn't respond to dude, you
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: gotta read this shit. It's unbelievable. I don't even know
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: what can I thought cap Verdier is like, uh, it
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: was like an army base in the US.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Again, I'm not the most avid soccer guy, but I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be diluted when I saw the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: field went from thirty two to forty eight. Sorry, some
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: of these countries getting in, it's gonna be able to joke,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: so wake me up when we get to the qualifying
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: But Spain, yeah, you're right. At the end of the day,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: find it on the map. You can't find Cape Verde.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: And the Spaniards are too busy shoving pie in their
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: mouth and worrying about bullfighting. They can't score a couple
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: of goals like that is brutal.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, Canada not getting good match? We got a good
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: match coming up.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: We gotta gotta be Qatar for god.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Just what the what the frick were they doing with
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: that Bosnian.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Against This is a question of one million, free million people.
