• 2:01
  Speaker 1: talk about the Four Nations Tournament. I'll just give everybody
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: on the audience a little bit of an update. On
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Saturday night, the United States the fated Canada three to one.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: They win for the Americans. Today Canada bounced back to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: beat Finland five three. USA is going to face Sweden
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to night at eight o'clock AM Eastern time. And on
• 2:23

• 2:26
  Speaker 1: versus Canada a pm Eastern Time on ABC. We are
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: your talks about the Four Nations Tournament.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Well, it has been a great tournament to watch that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: first game with Canada and Sweden, that was a real
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: real good game. It looked like Canada was gonna take
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: it over, and then Sweden like came back. They say,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: not so fast, but then you know, Canada came back
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: in the end with the going man. It was a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: really really good game. That first goal, like everyone said,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was crazy, the power play goal McKinnon from mc david
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and Crosby. I'm like, that's just not right. But yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: but overall it's been a great experience. I was great
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: watching the US the first game. They beat Finland pretty handily.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: They don't seem to have they have their full Finland
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to have their full slot of players, so
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they're kind of struggling and they beat They took care
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of business there and they had a real great game
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: against Canada. They grew up to to one most of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the that game and then at the end they were
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: able to put the empty netter in. And I've seen
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: real good things. Hellaback's looking real good and Canada just
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: recently once so we got the final again. They might
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: be looking for a little revenge. They might be also
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: be uh thinking about another goalie. I'm not sure it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: probably gonna be Bennington, Jordan Bennington, but we got to see,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you know, but that might just be social media the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: fans getting all upset.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But we'll see, all right, well Connor hell but right
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the nice story of the United States team and Connor
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: mcdavids just a big story in the NHL anyways, coming
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: off a three game suspension where I thought the NHL
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: made an example out of when they gave him that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But that'll be for another conversation. Out of the business
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in hand right now, there's an NHL expansion. I've always
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: had a thought process in mind that should Quebec City
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ever get another team, it'll be by a relocation with
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the Winnipeg Jacks, turning one Canadian city for another. What
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you, what do you have against this
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: great city of Winnipeg. Why would you want to do
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that to them twice? They've already lost one team and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I was thrilled when they brought it back. I know
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they they reda is smaller, but that's what they decided
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to do. Go with that about twelve or thirteen thousand
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: seat and I think the economy brought the ticket sales
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: down a little bit. But Winnipeg's one of the best
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: teams in the league this year. Now I change that
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: might change a little bit with the way that the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: seller CAP's going to go up, but I that's not
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: something I want to say. I'd rather just have an
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: expansion team. Honestly, for the longest time. With that, I've
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: been wanting Quebec and an area from South Florida. But
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: for a real long time the Panthers until recently we're
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not doing very well and steem to be playing games
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: with attendance, and I don't know what was going on,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: But now I'm not that's the play. That's the team
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted to go to Quebec, but now no, Now
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: obviously they're in their spot, but no, I'm not for
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Winnipeg going to to go back at all. I don't
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: want to do that twice to Winnipeg.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Well that's why I have you on the show, because
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like this one of those shows that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're both going to differ on a couple of things.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And I really like that because our old goal here
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is heet hockey fants snake. And the only reason why
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I brought that up, though, Cliff, is that I understand
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg's numbers are not very high attendance wise small market,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and when you talk about Quebec City the nor Deeks
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: possibly coming back, that's the only connection I can make
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to it. So I think it'll come down to the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: attendance figures. If Winnipeg could draw much more, I don't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: know what they're drawing. Fifteen sixteen thousand of the game
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: at last I had heard.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Is there arena that big? Has they have they expanded it?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying, Okay, now, when you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: look at the fact that if there's a team that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would go, you take one from one part of Canada
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: over to another part, and this one seems like more
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of a natural fit. Again, this nut show is exactly
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: designed what it does on you and I talk on Facebook.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: We're going to go back and forth a lot. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: like the fact that people when they come on in
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the chat room will be able to interact with us.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But that's exactly why you're on here, my friend. That
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to have different opinions, and there's nothing wrong
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: with that, So you know, I can understand not doing
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it to Winnipic. I think it all comes down to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: attendance figures. We'll see, But I know, Quebec is Hungary,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and I can't see the NHL expanding into yet another
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Canadian city. There's suitable American cities to be had. What
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: transitions me over to my next too, Milwaukee. Do you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: think that they deserve a team?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely. I always kind of say Wisconsin. And you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I've recently came up with a four like tier, a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: four stage expansion plan to get go from the thirty
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: two teams to the thirty six, and I put in
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin because yeah, it's probably gonna be Milwaukee. But I've
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: never been to Madison, Wisconsin. I've never been to Wisconsin period.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Madison, Wisconsin could handle the team.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: In my mindset, I think of Madison, Wisconsin like Columbus Ohio.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's my ignorance. I have no clue,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: so I want to keep options for the state of Wisconsin.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely insane that they don't have a hockey
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: team and NHL hockey team. They're in the North one two,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: they have every other major league sport. Okay, also they
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: have snow, they have ice. They are super hockey crazy
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: for the University of Wisconsin Badgers. I've never understood whether
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they don't have an ANHL team. I've heard excuses of like, oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Chicago doesn't want to have that, it's going to step
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: on their step on their turf, and I'm like, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: they have, they have, they have all those same things.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense to me. They have all those
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: same they have all the other major league teams, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't make sense. I don't know that's yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: but yeah, absolutely, Wisconsin, absolutely.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Any There's no question that was fans are passionate. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: agree with you with nine million exclamation points on that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I just hope that they can support it with pick enough,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the tens numbers and warrant keeping the team in Winnipeg.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And for a lot of people, I realize history in
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg with the Jets and Bobby Hall. You certainly have
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a good tradition when it terms of the Winnipeg Jets
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and Bobby Hall, the Golden Jet. As for any of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the other NHL teams, well, I'm going to defer that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: or to you, Cliff. Do you think could any of
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the other NHL teams move.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: As of right now? Could Maybe? I hear frumblings of
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Ottawa sometimes, but I don't know about that. People sometimes
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: say Columbus. I don't think that they're going anywhere. I'm
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: not really sure with with with who could move right now.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: The last time, like I said, was Florida, and they're
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: not going anywhere now. They've they've got good management, they've
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they've they've tannered it totally around there. They've earned their spot.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I can't even maybe Nashville, maybe that might be something,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: but I don't know their numbers. They haven't been doing
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: so well recently, but that's just a shot in the dark.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Well it's fair enough, Okay, all right, let's focus our
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: attention to Kansas City. Once upon a time you had
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the Kansas City Scouts. Problem was they had the Kemp Arena,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: not a really good arena. But I know they have
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a brand new, state of the art arena. I definitely
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: feel in my mind Kansas City is right for a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: new team. I think they can definitely go out there
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and get one. And you have a rivalry across I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: seventy with the Saint Louis Blues. So let's focus our
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: attention to Kansas City. What are your thoughts?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, absolutely, that's something that Kansas City is a market. Yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: it didn't work fifty years ago. Different time, different, you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it's a different time. Things have changed dramatically they did.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But I believe the Sprints Center, I don't know what
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they call it now. You know how they're changing names
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: of arenas constantly, So forgive me if I don't have
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the right sponsor name on there.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: All the time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Anyway, So I want, yeah, well, it's like they built
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that and they would always have UH preseason games and
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: they would sell out, and I think they fit right in.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: That's another team I've I've said, UH under my four
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: my four stage expansion, that's the last one. It's like, hey,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: let's give Kansas City a chance, because you know their
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: history of Kansas City. You know, when Nashville was struggling
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh was trying to get a an arena and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: on an Islanders fan, so I remember when they even
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: went to UH to Kansas City to check out the arena.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: It seemed like all these teams were would go out there,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: but they were just playing games, and I didn't think
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that was really quite fair for them. You know, I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: want to give them the shot shot at getting a
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: team again, because you know, it's been a very long
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: time since the early seventies and uh and they would
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: always like do real well in those preseason games. And
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: like you said, they already have a built in rivalry
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: with with with the Blues. So I'd definitely be up
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for Kenna saving part of that Candy.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Like in the chair, Milwaukee has a Milwaukee admirals. Also,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I want to point out the five third form is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: definitely a suitable building for an NHL team. A rivalry
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in Milwaukee versus Chicago's an automatic I ninety four rivalry.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Candy is really on target with this one. You got,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: well think about the Cubs on the Brewers.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean it's like it's it's they already
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: have like they already have those rivalries with Chicago, Wisconsin
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and Minnesota with college hockey. It's like it's insane. I'm like,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: there's no reason why Wisconsin shouldn't have a hockey team.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It should have been a hockey team there for decades
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and decades. It's just doesn't make sense. And like I said,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing rumors that Chicago doesn't like it. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: guess they're they it's sway their original six. You know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: sometimes that stuff has an impact.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So I think Milwaukee and Chicago's are something that has
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to happen. Larry from Detroit National's eye before big sports
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: are not let anyone go. Well, they shouldn't be. I mean,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: think of the reality that Nashville is a great sports city.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: They host big events such as the I think the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft, and when it comes to now they have
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: their Nashville New Year's Eve party, So you're right. I mean,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I think Nashville is a sleeping giant, Larry, when it
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: comes to those sports towns, that really is once upon
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a time they didn't wehen you have the other Titans
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and you have the National Sounds who really support real
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: well in Triple A. You know, I think that if
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: they do end up getting an expansion, if there's an
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: expansion in baseball, Nashville to me is obviously is a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: no brainer. They already have their infrastructure and I saw
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a National Sounds game. They're talking about Triple A game,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and they know how to put ten twelve thousand bodies
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in that stadium. So Nashville is inevitable. I think for
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, you've got the NFL and the HL
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and National Predators are doing well. There was a time
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: when they weren't doing well. But Barry Trotz as a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: general manager, you know, there's no reason to think that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: anything will go wrong in Nashville. And Larry, you daild
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that one dead on. Thanks a lot for contributing tonight.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: All right, now, let's we're gonna go to a station
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: break in a moment. But what about Atlanta? Do they
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: deserve a third chance?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: No? Just no, absolutely not. Stop the insanity. I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: know if you remember the old bundyes Infrommersall Susan powder
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: stopped the insanity. It failed twice. Nobody wins. People are
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: saying silly things like, oh, we're gonna put it over
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: in this area and it's gonna work. Yeah, we still
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: heard that with Arizona. Oh if we just moved here,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: hockey's gonna win at work in Arizona.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: No, I do not do that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: It's the whole insanity is doing the same thing over
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and over and over and over expecting a different result.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: People don't like it there, they don't care. Give them
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: an HL team, let them be like camp is affiliate.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: That's Tampa's affiliates in Syracuse. Now, so it would be
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: an easier thing from that, Absolutely not. I care about
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: where these teams go. I care about the league, and
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I care about the game itself, and that would not
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: be good for the league.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, I can appreciate that. The only they're talking about there. Hello,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: will Vogel, glad to have you back. And well, just
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Ralph Williams contacted you at all,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: but they're definitely there's a spot for you on Sports
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Trap on Saturday, So keep that in mind. Well, like
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they'll bring it back at some point. And if you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: have Saturdays the morning from nine to ten, and we'll
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: love to have you on. We appreciate your candid personality.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Any prayser says isn't a strong fourth time, no doubt
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: about it. But they're always going to be talked about
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: because of the major market and the only chance of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: prayer they have, Cliff I said, prayer. Okay, have a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: heart attack over there, because your students need you over
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: at Tewson University is the fact that they put it
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in the suburbs. That's the only shot. They're never going
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to make it work in downtown. And I'm going to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: tell you what we are going to do. We're gonna
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a station break with Candy, I bleeve, take it very much, Candy.
• 16:10

  Speaker 1: Well done, Candy, all right, we're gonna go to one
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: more city, and if you have any other ones you
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: want to mention that we're gonna go to your thirty
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: sixteen Division sixteen. I'm really curious to what you have
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to say about this one. I really really am. Okay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the Houston Aarrols. That's upon a time
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: they any guy like Gordie how you ever heard of
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: mister Hockey?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, absolutely.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Would you like to see the Houston Rods back? Yeah?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Any Houston team, it's the Houston Arrows. Yeah great, that's
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: actually that's my first the first team I've have set
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to become an expansion team. They're big enough, they have
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the market. I'm willing to give them a chance. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: think I think it could work. There's a there's a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: possible rivalry with with Dallas there already. I'm willing to
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: give it a shot and see what happens. That they
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: did pretty well when they were the Houston Arrows there.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: They don't have a team there really great now in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the HL the HL, but I definitely think I will.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to give him a shot.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: There, all right, Josh, with no doubt about it. We
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the show. There's no question in
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the finals. It will definitely be awesome and I'm looking
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: forward to seeing that as well as that. Yeah, Cliff,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt this is an no brainer. Ringing back
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to Houston Arrows rivaling the Dallas Stars, he had that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Dallas Houston rivalry in Texas. Nothing could be more natural
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: than that. And of course, like I said, the Houston
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Arrows had that traditional gory. How I alluded to it
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: earlier in the show with Winnipeg Jets and Bobby Hall
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the Golden Jet, Mister Hockey to w h A teams
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that will be revived and alan in the NHL. Great stuff,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: right clip. Any other expansion suggestions.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Please, Houston, Kansas City, Wisconsin, and Quebec. Quebec is the
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: only other one. I yeah, we talked about Quebec already.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Those are the four I think they should try to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: go for. I hear Portland, and of course you have
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: some Canadian fans out there and say, oh, put a
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: team in Saskatoon in the Saskatchewan. Yeah, that's no disrespect
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: to him, but I just don't see them getting the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: NHL team thanks for Portland here and there. I don't know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it's I don't know. I think I can't really think
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: of any others you have something in mind.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: No, I think Portland's a stretch. I think he's a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Seattle Vancouver rivalry. I don't see Portland getting in the mess.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I think the four teams that we've really narrowed it
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in on are the four that I would key on
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, I gave you the ones. I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: think Quebec Cities should get another team, but it does it?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Does they get one at the expense of another American team?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know the Arizona Coyotes are dead
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: during unlock. Matt Isa finds a way to get one,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: But I'm not holding my printh. They had twenty five years.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: It was a bad situation with the Winnipeg Jets, a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: leaning there that was doomed to fail to begin with.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I saw a game at the Old America Western Arena
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and that was the biggest joke I've ever seen, when
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: he had one side of the rank obstructed because of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the way the building was not suited for having an
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: NHL team. They built a stadium in Glendale was a
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was a great rank Helo River Arena, and I actually
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: lived in Arizona Cliff at the time, and they wanted
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: to build one in Scottsdelle. All of that came through,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: so fell through. So everything that happened in Arizona warranted
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're only a three market team. It's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: just too bad. The Coyotes were doomed at the beginning,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: let alone at the expense of the Winnipeg Jets. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: then when you look at the hypothetacals on that. Okay,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: if you keep the original Winnipeg Jets, you keep the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: original logo, then you get Quebec City in the first
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: place without having to relocate him O. I love connecting
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the dots as we go ahead and turn our heads.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about cliffs thirty sixteen, sixth Division,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: sixty sixth division NHL. We got six is our wild man.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way it works.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and break it down. Okay.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Am I able to present something here or sugar?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to do that. Can't he unless
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he can do it? I'm not sure how that one.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I've got I've got I've got a jpeg that a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: couple of g pegs that I made. They are in
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: You can if you hit present at them and then
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: share a screen or whatever screen you want.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, sure, I'd rather do that that way, Okay,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: all right, all right, okay, I'm sorry. I'm just trying
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: to go through your thing here. It's lost permission to
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: capture my screen, all right, I'm sorry. Uh, I don't
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: see to be able.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: To bring that up because all right, I see my things,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to share them with you, though,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: says it's lost permission to capture my screen.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: So all right, yeah, so ipparently can't share it with you.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: But all right, So basically what I'm thinking is, I'll
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: kind of just tell you it's four years or for
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: state ages. Basically, the first year, all we're doing is
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: adding a Houston to the central. Okay, that'd be year
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: or stage one, just adding so Houston to the central.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Year two. That's where it gets a little wild, all right,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: it gets a little wild there. I bring back Oh,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I bring back Quebec, and they go into the Atlantic.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I then take Florida and Tampa put them in the Metro,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: and then take Columbus and put them in the Atlantic.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I've always felt that Columbus being in Atlantic made much
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: more sense than being in the metropolitan because they're closer
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: to a lot of the other teams in that division.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, so that would be year two. Year
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: three is where we see Wisconsin come in, Okaysen. We
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: then go to the Central, Utah would go to the Pacific.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It's the furthest most West team. Okay. So yeah, so
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: you've got so in those three years, you've got thirty
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: five of the thirty six, Okay, and then we've got
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: that would be three. So now we've got to get
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: to four in this we're gonna do six divisions. Okay,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: got six divisions?
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: All right? All right? Uh?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Division A be the Isles, Rangers, Devils, Flyers, Caps, and Pens.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Division B would be the Bruins, the Canadians, the Leafs,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: the Senators, the Red Wings, and the Nord East. Division
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: C totally new division Sabers, Columbus, Carolina, Florida, Tampa, and Nashville.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I know they're in the center, but they're still a
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: South team. Division D would be the Blackhawk, the Wild,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the Blues, the Winnipeg Jets, Wisconsin, and then finally the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Expansion team Division EB Dallas, Colorado, Edmonton, Calgary, Utah,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Houston and then Division F would be the Ducks, Sharks, Kings,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Canucks at Knights and crack it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm hearing this correctly. I see you with the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Red Wings no longer in the same division with the
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Lightning and the Panthers. Is that correct?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm moving them to that third division,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Division C. They go with Carolina, Columbus, Buffalo, and Nashville
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: and Nashville South. So I mean it's still can be
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: worked there yet, No, it's and then you don't really
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: have to worry about Florida and Tampa not going up
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: to Canada. The further most they go up to is Buffalo,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you know, in that case, so they're not having those
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Canadian games that they have to do. So it's works
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: from that standpoint too. So it's a little different, I know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: but they routines some a lot of the same things,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of the same rivalries. But yeah, so it's
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: uh and I even I even figure it out the schedule, Wow,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: it would be an eighty team schedule, eighty game schedule.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Play twenty games against your intra divisional rivals. That'd be
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: five teams that you play against four games apiece, interconference
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: games the two other divisions in your conference twenty four
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: one home went away, and then interconference games eighteen teams
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: there two games piece one home won away. It's thirty six.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: You had twenty twenty four and thirty six I got
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: eighty games.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Interesting. I like this. I actually find this interesting. You
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: know what really makes it intriguing for me is you've
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: got six divisions, right. I believe the NFL has six
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: divisions too.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: They have eight. Oh they have eight okay, four to
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: four teams in each division.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, well' sax eight whatever. But this sixth
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: division thing intrigues me. With the NHL, the fact that
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you keep the rivalries and you create new ones. So
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of intrigued by it. We'll see how it
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: plays out as time goes on. We're certainly going to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: be bringing you on this Wednesday night edition of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Sports Exchange as well. What I like about it is
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we'll introduce you to a different audience a little bit
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: later at night, and we'll incorporate this topic with more
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and more of our other experts as well on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Sports Exchange that night. So really good stuff. That's why
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I brought you on here because I again for you. Also,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you just joining us right now. Cliff is the type
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of guy that will get you to think and he
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: will draw you into a debate like he has so
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: many times. And now I have a chance to get
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: this guy on the air and he can explain where
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: his mindset is. But well, you think about it. We
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: do agree on a lot of the markets. The only
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: thing that we disagree on is how Quebec will get
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a team. But that's not bad, it really isn't. Utah
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Hockey Club. Will be interesting to see what final name
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: they come up with. So as we get ready to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: wrap up the show, Cliff, there is one thing I'm
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: really curious about. What are your thoughts about the Four
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Nations tourmat and that not only that, do you think
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that this blows away the NBA All Star format because
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the NBA players have not taken this game seriously at all,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and now they're in such disarraye with that Magic Johnson
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't even show up for this weekend.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely, I absolutely love it. I love international play. Heck,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I got into hockey nineteen eighty Miracle and Ice. That's
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: my first introduction to hockey. I was all of eight
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: years old and has completely impacted my life. Heck, I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: have all these things from that. From that, it's yeah,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the game. That's the games have been great. I don't
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: know if they could do it all the time. I
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: just think it's something you can do every so often.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm not a big basketball fan, and I'm
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm the I'm among the guys who like, I
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: love hockey so much. But as you know, a lot
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't like hockey and they're like, oh,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you like hockey. It's like it's like you're saying, oh,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I like to kick puppies. I'm like, it's like, oh,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: they fight. I'm like, come on. But yeah, So it's yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: compared to the NBA, I'm like a lot of the
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: All Star Games aren't taken seriously at all. I do
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: like this because there is something to be uh, to
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: fight for. They're really working hard. Heck, they had three
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: fightings in about nine seconds in the other game. You
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: never see that in any kind of All Star game.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I was surprised they were allowed to fight. So but yeah,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's it's not even close. I mean, the hockey,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: it's just the hockey tournament has been absolutely great. I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: looking forward to the finals against Canada.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joshua Door went out there and mentioned earlier. Put
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that comment back on the screen. How about the you
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: know sav versus Canada the finals is gonna be awesome,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: no question about it. Josh really nailed that one dead on.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So also I should play that o that the NHL
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: players will be permitted to play in the twenty twenty
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: six Olympics. So international play when it comes to the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: NHL's unbelievable. And it goes back to the nineteen seventy
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: two series when Team Canada took on Rush that it
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: was just unbelievable. When you do some name dropping in there,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I can get in I phill Esposito can't ride and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Bobby or in the restroom and it's just unbelievable. So
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I think the hockey players are the ones that take
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: these games way more seriously. Well a loan the fact
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that you just mentioned three fights in the first nine seconds,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: they're not getting better than that. Let me see an
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: NBA player engaging in any elbows and they're going to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: think that that's beyond their paygrade. Hockey players may not
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: have teeth, but they have you know, they need a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: lot more dental work. And I'm going to tell you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: these guys are the most passionate underpaid professionals in any
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: sport for sure. And let's go any pay those first
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: nine seconds in Canada and the USA, the first game
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: was so like more you couldn't be more accurate than that.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: What do you think about as an analogy, Sla?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought that was absolutely a spot on.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I'm like, fight after fight from like what am I
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: looking at here? Yeah, it's such a great movie, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: very very brutal. Yeah, it was. It was great to
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: watch that action. It's like, oh, it's about to ka Jack.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: And then I was watching again and my wife was like,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I thought he was in the pending backs. I'm like, no,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: it's his it's his brother. They're playing together.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: So that was And then they had to fight after that,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: and it was just you saw the intensity, you saw
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: what they were going at they're going at it, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the whole game they were fighting real hard, good clean checks,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: good clean fun. And I'm that's what hockey should be,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: you know that. It's it's watching the game is just
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: an absolute joy and the power, the grace, the skill
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: that's shown on there and and the be Able Dude
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: has a as a for your country. And I'm really
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: excited because this year we have a really good mix
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: of players. They've always had good teams, but this one
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: we have real superstars like Austin Matthews and Jack Eichel
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: and Hellabus the best Goldie in the league right now.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: So this has been an exciting time to see them
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: actually get over the hump because they always always kind
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: of like get to the gold medal game or they
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: get third, but they never seem to beat like usually Canada.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: But I think this might if they do everything, if
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: they do what they can do, what they showed the
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: last game, I think they're gonna finally get over the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: hump and take it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Great question, and you're gonna answer this one, Cliff, you like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: well you think of bringing the three to two one
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: points or some of the four nations face out to the.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I'm interested in it. I got it. I'm willing to
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: give it a shot. But I have to see how
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: it affects the point totals. How affects things?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Is it going to like make it worse like with point?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: How many points might get the competition might Lessen. I
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm willing to give it a shot. I'm
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: willing to give a shot see how it works. If
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: it works, great. The one thing I absolutely want to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: in there is a ten minute overtime. I've been asking
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: for a ten minute overtime for over a dozen years now,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: ten minute overtime because five minutes, and especially now with
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the three on three, it's like it's fun, it's exciting.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: But in five minutes, it's like the guys can hold
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: onto the puck for an out of time sometimes and
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: at least, you know, an extra ten and then how
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: often would they I don't think they'd get to the
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: shootout all that often, honestly.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Well, it's why you mentioned ten minute overtime. I was
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: about to ask you that that you fell into the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: GMT eight category called great nine stinking Lake. I'm all
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: for it, sure, oh I think? And yeah, excuse me, man,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: ask your players don't care about ten minute overtime again, passionate,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: hardworking players I've ever seen these guys are unlieable. Ten
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: minutes overtimes. Great, keep the shootout and you earn your
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: way to that shootout. Ten minute overtime, More power to you.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: That's one hard. These guys just want to win games,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and I want to win ritings. So I'll end it
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: on this note. Do you feel that the NHL playoffs
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: are better than any other playoffs in all the four
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: major sports?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: It's no doubt. I mean, it's it's it's it's like
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the the intensity of every round, seven game series going
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: for the Stanley Cup. They have the most awesome trophy
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: on the planet. All Right, I'm very biased to here. Okay,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: it's not even close. With all the names, and you
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: can see the passion. You can see guys are willings
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: and be hurt. I remember a long time ago, I
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: don't remember Darryl Sidor former Dallas star Darryl Sidor. He
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: got hurt, he like flew part of his like ACL
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: or something like that, and he is trying to rape
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: and they try to get into the play. You don't
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: get that with any of the rest of those sports.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: They're all, Hey, I like football. I'm the big baseball fan,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: not a stick basketball fan. But it's not even close
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to the intensity how much they have to go through
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: the rounds. It's so it's so just so powerful, so
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: exhausting for those guys and when their season's over, they
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: feel it, you know, it's they need the rest, They
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: absolutely need the rest.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Well well, well, the fact when you see those three,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: four or five overtime games, talk about the team that's it,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But I'll tell you, I think the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: best thing I like about the NHL playoffs is when
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: the teams lose, they shake each other's hands. A handshake,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: to me is the most classy sportsmanship thing that you
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: can ever ever have. And I think that to me
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that I don't think you don't really see that in
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of other sports. I'm not going to make
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: a big deal about booing the national anthem of this
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: four nations because I understand the lot just it's behind it.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that because we're not a
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: political show. But the fact of the matter is that
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: NHL expansion is not a matter of if. It's a
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: matter of when thirty six will probably be the right
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: amount I think be really and then relocation probably the
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: factors in to it at some point, depending on how
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: teams succeed or don't succeed. So any closing thoughts about
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the topic at all cleft.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just kind of like, what you were saying, there too,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: is I for hockey. For me, I consider it likeate
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: there modern day knights of the Roundtable, going for the hockey,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: f going for Hockey's holy grail, the hockey, you know,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the holy grail, and they give absolutely everything they have
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: every time watching the game is just an absolute joy,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the power, all of it. And yeah, I will see
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: what happens with expansion. I'm not thrill because we hear
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: the Arizona Atlanta and we know the powers that be,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: and I'm a big fan of the commissioner, but we
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: have to see. We don't know, we don't know, and
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just game on. Let's go watch that
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: the finals on usavers Canada. Another great game. Improve that
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: hockey is by far the this game out there, all.
• 37:18
