  Speaker 1: Thanks, good, good evening everybody, and welcome to another vision

  Speaker 1: of the Sports Exchange. My name is Scott Mortarrof, MotorCity Man,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: moved is National Hockey Night to Night.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And who do I have.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Mister George Ike Gord Ge we bring good things of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: life and Ge we bring George Dyke on to the show.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Great stuff. I wonder how many people have heard that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one before.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, good to be with you guys.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks, And of course we have a regular Thursday man,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and that's Rod Peterson. Welcome to the Big Show. No
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: relation to Doug after all, because you know he spelled
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: with an oh, and he used to coach once apon
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a time for the Jacksonville Jaguars. But oh no, does
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: anybody care? No? But I'll tell you what people are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: gonna care about. Our first topic of the night man,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that is the first round matchups. If the playoffer started now,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: who would get in? I'm gonna go over the matchups
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: real quick. The reason why I can do this topic
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and nobody can make playing for a little while, right, great,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: so the records aren't going to change? Great? Stop way
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: out thub bang. It's Keith Oberman would say, Yes, Rod,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of energy, guy, and I give
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you show today great stop all right? First round matchups
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: West Winnipeg versus Vancouver, Dallas versus Minnesota. You know what
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: they treat me about this one. Once upon a time
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I was at the Joe Louise Arena covering the actually
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Wild and the Red Wings, and I was
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: sitting next to the PR guy for the while, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he I was looking at the media guy that they
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: pronounced their first year or so in the in the league,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and he asked me if I if you need to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: make any additions, you know what I would do. I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: told the guy, I think it was the second year
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that he was in the league, and said, you know
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I would go out there and put that five to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: nothing slacking that you laid on the Dallas Stars because
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they used to be the North Stars. I came back
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a year later. He put it in their under history
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: an important ways we love it, and the Dallas Minnesota
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: North started Minnesota Wild went in. Thank you very much.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I got rewarded. I got another copy. There we go
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and Minton versus Colronto Vegas in the lakme Rod, what
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: are your talks about those potential matchups?
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: My thoughts are, ironically enough or whatever, those have been
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: the eight teams for the last two months. I don't
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: know if you remember us talking about it in mid
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: December that the top eight teams then would be the
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: top eight teams now and into the playoffs, so it's
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: gonna shift. Obviously, these aren't the exact pairings, but I
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: like them. Edmonton and Colorado is new. They're all fairly new.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And you mentioned the Dallas Minnesota rivalry. That is one
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: of the best rivalries in the NHL.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: That's unspoken right the two cities know about it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many people outside those two cities
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: know about it. So those are some pretty pretty good
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Round one matchups. I don't honestly expect too many of
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: them to come to fruition. A lot of things are
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: going to change between now and then, but if they do,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I'd be okay with it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: But you know what, it's two thirteen, twenty five, Rod
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and you know what, they're playing international hockey, which would
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: be a great segue in a moment. So I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it is fun to talk about because the record isn't
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: going to change at least seven to ten days, is
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that correctly? For Peter said, yes, good, let's go to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the East Washington against Detroit. Oh, my goodness, a rematch
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of the Stanley Cup where the Capitol's loss of the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Red Wings Carolina. And but think about it, the Red
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Wings were to get in, they would end an eight
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: year playoff drop, my goodness, were and Rob, that would
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: make you feel good because you've predicted them to get
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Is that correct, sir?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Well, George is probably aware. And you two, Scott
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: because you're a Red Wings fan. The Detroit Red Wings
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: of the hottest team in the NHL since the coaching change.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: They're the best record of the whole league since the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: coaching change. So for their sake, I hope it keeps
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: up great stuff. But you'll win a lot of fans
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: out in Detroit saying those kind of comments. Carolina versus
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, Florida Panthers versus Ottawa, Toronto versus Tampa Bay. George, first,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: of all of those three matchups or all of them,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: which one is the most intriguing of them? Well?
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: I think that all of them are really intriguing. But
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: of course the Red Wings. Everybody is waiting here for
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: that to become official. And making the playoffs and ending
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: that nine or ten years idle streak or whatever we
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: want to call it not making the playoffs. So I
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: would say the Red Wings series would be very good. Gosh,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Florida and Ottawa. I mean, you got the Stanley Cup
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: champions going all the way to Ottawa to play, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: will be a long trip for both teams, but heck,
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: they've had a good year two Ottawa has the Senators,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: and I really think that Florida is really good shape
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: right now. But it's all long season still, the remaining
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: part of it. And then of course the playoffs too.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: What about you, Ron, I like new playoff meetings.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Out of all those, Toronto Tampa is a little boring
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: because they've met so many times over the years. It
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: would be good. It would be a great series. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: picked Tampa Bay to missed the playoffs. I remember George
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: saying that was a bold prediction way back in September
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: when I made it. As of now, Tampa Bay is
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: in a playoff spot. To be honest, those eight teams
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: in the West I don't expect to change. The eight
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: teams in the East will change a lot. But if
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: it's Ottawa Florida. I think everybody can get behind that series,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: International cross border series, Stanley Cup Champions against a newbie.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: That might be the best series.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Of them all. You know, pretty much agree with you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on that, Rode. I really like the idea of Florida
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: against Ottawa. I really do. Also, I don't want to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: have a programming note on Monday, just so you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: if President's saying we're gonna have a special edition of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the Motor City Mad Mouse Show, I have a colleague
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: been on the East Coast where we're going to be
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: doing a show on NHL Expansion from six thirty to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: seven thirty pm Eastern time. This guy here, so don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you dare miss this show. It's going to be good.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Him and I have been conversing for the last year
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a year and a half. So if you're a hockey fan,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we got your business with us. We got rod Night
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and George next uh this Thursday and next Thursday, right,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and then I have Hockey on Monday Night talking expansion,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and we have a lot rod Nye and Georgia have
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of great things in the works. We're just
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: getting warmed up. So there you go. So a little
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: programming note MotorCity man Mouth Show on Monday six thirty,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: seventh thirty. We're going to talk about expansion teams relocation.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: That's a show you might want to put on your
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: calendar on the South Borid of Tribune Broadcasting Network. While
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the fresh in my head, well, since I since I'm
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: on this show a lot, and I had an opportunity
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to go on there twice during the Super Bowl and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: enjoy every darn second of it. Okay, we're going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: talk about the Rod Peters and Joe. Okay, but Rod,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I have a question for him on your Four Nations
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: based off. You've made an interesting comment, and you're gonna
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: go out there and explain more what it is. USA
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is the mostaln but Team Canada is the best team?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Lodgers.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: The quote is the team USA in this four Nations
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: face off right now has more talent of their top
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: of their twenty players, is the more talented twenty than Canada?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, they are.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Some have called this the greatest USA hockey.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Team ever assembled. I'm not Deave even played a game
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: yet till tonight. Canada's pretty good too. They opened and
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: beaten Sweden four to three in overtime last night.
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: But I don't really care who I offend with this.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: I know guys that have coached players on both sides
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: of the border, Canada at USA, and they say the
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Canadian players are about team first.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: They'll do what's ever best for the team. The USA
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: players will do what's ever best for me. Big difference. Now,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: USA has won three the last four World Junior Hockey Championships.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: This particular tournament that's going on right now, the four
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Nature's Face Off, you guys will remember, used to be
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the Canada Cup. There were five of those. Then there
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: were three World Cups. That's eight tournaments. Canada's won six
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: of those, the USA's one one, rushes one one. This
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: is the ninth.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So all I'm saying is USA has more top to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: bottom talent.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Probably well statistically they are better, but I don't think
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: they'll beat Canada.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: The nice thing is the week is here. They're gonna
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: play Saturday.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Night, so we'll have an answer to this next week Saturday, right,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I said next week on our show, my friend Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: there you go. All right? Well, johns sho Dor agrees
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: with you. Florida and Otto would be a good series.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Florida was sure taken. Yeah, I think they probably would
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: if Bottawall gets in there. I think it's a big
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: it's major progress when you think about where they were
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a you're agoing where the franchise has been for quite
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a while. George, anything you want to add to what Rod,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I am an add Well, the only thing, the only
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: thing I'll say about it is, in many instances, team
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: does win individuals. So I can't really disagree with Rod
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: on this. I've seen it ulti many times. It's not
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the best team that wins on paper, as we've seen
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: so many times. Right, what it is it is the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: best team that plays together in the team that George.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and I think that's a broad statement that's
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: probably not going to be disputed Rod and Scott. I
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: mean the Canada. The Canadian players do play as a team.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: They love that, they play for their country, they play
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: for the heart and and trying to win these series.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: And you're right, look at their record, it's been unbelievable.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: So here we are again with the United States. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: think taking an attitude of yeah.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: We'd like to win it, but you know, we don't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: want to overextend ourselves.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: I don't know what they're thinking is sometimes, but I'll
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: tell you what that game last night, going into overtime
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: in Canada coming out victorious over Sweden, and my boy
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Lucas rang Men of the Detroit Red Wings who had
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: a couple of assists in that game, and Dylan lark
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: And of Courses on Team USA. So we got two
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Red Wings that are representing the Detroit franch guise. But
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing for hockey. The only
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: thing I worry about his injuries. I'm sure all the
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: every every coach, every team is worried. Please don't let
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: one of our guys, one of our stars get hurt.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: And that's the only drawback to these midseason tournaments and
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: that's why you don't see a lot of them in
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: the other sports.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: But anyways, yes, Scott and Rod, I think it's gonna
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: be good hockey.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Montreal is getting socked with a couple of back to
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: back storms winter storms. I just hope that everybody's safe
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: getting to and from the games. But two great host cities,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: no question about it. Montreal, and then they shift to
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Boston of course for the semi finals.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: In the finals, Okay, let me ask to add something
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: which is really interesting about hockey. The NFL All Star
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Game has become non existent because I'm skill baseball is
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: not bad. In the NBA is god awful. I will
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: say one thing about the National Hockey League. Say what
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you want about the sport, but when it comes to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the All Star Games, with the international play and whatever
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: format they have, they simply get it right. They really
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: get it right. You know, you talk about what Canada
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Cup ride. Let me go back. I can tell you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two. I don't know how old you were
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: back then, unless you were hacks back then, because I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: think what you and iowa ten years difference. But I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: remember when when the team Canada took on Russia and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that was an unbelievable series where he had Ken Dryd
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and I think, well he had Tony Eposito and all
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: those unbelievable guys. It was just truly remarkable. And he'll
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: tell me I was the hardest puller for Canada back then.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that series what wound up four three
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and one, four in North America and I think four
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in Moscow. If my memories its me correctly, you're the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: hockey guy Rod am I right or wrong?
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but that was only two that was Canada and Russia, right,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: and expanded to eight teams by the end of the
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: seventies and now it's down to four. But the biggest reason,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: and Gary Bettman talked about it yesterday, is because of
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Russia invading Ukraine. They've been kicked out of every international
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: sporting competition around the world and nobody is disputing it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Right, George, I see you nodding your.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Head on that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, you know, well, Bud, wait a second, right,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: a second, guys, I mean you really truly cannot call
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: this a world class Evan if Russia is not invited though,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, and like you said, they narrow
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: it down to four, Rod, I mean, but the bottom
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: line is, of course we know what's going on politically
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: and certainly in war, it's not it's not fair to them.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: I will say this though, you know, as an aside,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: But no, I don't want to say because Scott gets
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: mad at we want to throw something in there.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, waiting for now that you mentioned it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: It wasn't into the USA, but it was in Toronto
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: and that was followed that suit coming over here from
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Russia for the Hall of Fame.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say. That was only one instance.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: All I'm saying.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But I know as you for that, at least you
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: put Bible. That's another hashtag. At least there we go.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And uh.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: But going back to what you said, Rod, Yeah, four
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: nation tournament. Hey, it's a start.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: It's a start.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Maybe we will get back up to six. Possibly eight,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but six is six would be good.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Your Russia's got to be in there. Let's hope pull
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: I'm hopeful in the next World Cup.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Hockey. Okay, you know again, you talked about the NHL
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: when it comes to their All Star and making sure
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: all the players are on display for the world. They
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: can get it right.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: They do. They do a good job.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I won the Baseball All Star Game, I really do.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Of all the other ones out there, that's my favorite.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But hockey, actually, I have to say, is number one.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: When it comes to the All Star process. You don't
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: get snubs when you have this process, you really don't.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It's not like, well this guy should have made the team.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: You have one guy represented. You get the best players
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and that's what makes it so much better. So Ron
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: let me ask you a question, even though it's someone
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: off something, but now it's kind of related a little bit.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Do you like the fact that every team is represented
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: on the All Star Team? The NBA doesn't always do
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it that way, and baseball does and football, who knows
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: what they're doing.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: They don't either in the NHL and the old format
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: as recently as last year, they do. And I do
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: want a player from every team on because it invigorates
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: excitement in every market. You know, I did work for
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: teams for decades and it was very important to have
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: a reason for your fans to be interested in the
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: All Star Game. Right this tournament, Oddly enough, of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: four four nations, Washington and San Jose don't have any
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: players on it. Washington is you know, the top team
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: of the Eastern Conference were HL.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: They don't even have a player in it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Now if Russia was invited, right Ovechkin would be on it,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: and blah.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: But yes, I wholeheartedly believe every team should have a representative.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: It's not to me, it's not even a debate, but
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I know it is and a lot of people don't agree.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: But I asked you Okay, you're the one I asked
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and you gave me the opinion, and yes you're right
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: if Russia was in Ovisian and then that from the point,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: great stuff going to the station breaking there. But I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: want to go ahead as we break the show up
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and have Anton Lundell, twenty three years old, get this
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I Four Nations title alongside a couple one to Stanley
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Cup in June and as the youngest player on Finland
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: at Four Nations. Thoughts about Anton Lundell, mister Peterson.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because Donald Trump singled him out at
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: the Oval Office in their little thing last Monday. I
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: don't know why. He turned around and asked for where's
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Anton Lundell and they had a little exchange. I'll tell
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: you this, whoever wins this Four Nations face off, there's
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: going to be a Florida Panther on the team, because
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: all four teams have at least one Panther on it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it's gonna be Finland. They are
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the fourth of the four, right, so I.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Don't think Lundell's walking out of his Four Nations face
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: off with another championship. It'll be a Sam Bennett, Sam
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Ryan Hart or one of the three lightning on team Canada.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: We'll see point. I really like that, Rod, You're on
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a roll. Keep it up, now, go ahead, George left Well.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm just looking at his stats. Thirteen goals,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: twenty three assists, thirty six points. He's not the leading scorer,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: He's in the top five scoring for the Florida Panthers.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Undel Lundell, I think that that would be very interesting
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: if that happened. Obviously, like you said, Scott, he won
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: the Stanley Cup and back in June and then the
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Four Nations. But I do agree with our friend Rod.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, Finland is probably the longest of the long shots,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: so it's very unlikely it's gonna happen, But what the heck,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: it makes.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: For good talk. And the kid the kids got a
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: great opportunity.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what also makes for good talk.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: You see USA and Finland, and let's go back to
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty Olympics, and that's who the United States
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: ended up beating after they beat Russia to win the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: gold medal. And George happened to be at Lake Placid,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: weren't you, Georgia.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: I certainly was that. I did not see the US
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Finland game. But we did have tickets for USA against
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: the Russians the Soviet Union with an unbelievable experience, but
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: nothing that nothing's going to top that, I don't think
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: in my sports career. But I'm just saying that. The
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: thing is is that when these teams meet, like Grod
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: you insinuated earlier about Canada playing as a team, there's
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: so much pride on the line. There's so much good stuff.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: I am so happy that pro hockey is part of
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: the Winter Olympics. It's just a great It's just a
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: great thing to watch. Those of US hockey hounds which
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: are on this show.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: We just love it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: So yeah, the Olympics is another avenue that obviously takes
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: it to a next level.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So as we hit the halfway point of show, we're
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: going to go ahead to a station break to another
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: programming note. I should also mention that on Saturday morning,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to have Sports Rap Weell debut under a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: rebranding under the External Bump Show. Ralph Williams and I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: will host that show. Be a pretty interesting show on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning. We decided to rebrand it that we don't
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: want to go out there and talk about bombs every like.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Isn't more than about bombs. It's a lot of the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: other people in there. And one other thing I want
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to mention too, which is going to be interesting for everybody,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: is I'm going to be having my former colleague at
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the Deerfield Beach Observer named Rachel Galvin on and she's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: going to be on No Limits. And she's an actress
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that came from LA to South Florida and we work
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: together at the Deerfield Beach Observer. So she's going to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: talk about her time in the acting business. She's probably
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: rob you might want to get to know her ro
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: well is when I write the next book, she's a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: likely editor. And not only that, but what's interesting about
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: ours who work together over at the Deerfield beachles or
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: we got along real well. Theres want to put those
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: little promotional things out there now on the candy with
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the station break. Thank you, Rod. Now you have a
• 19:12

  Speaker 1: KP. All right, stay in the Florida Panthers a little bit,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: rod I least you know it's up your alley. Anyways.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Alexander Barkoff aims to camp in another champion obviously in
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the Florida Panthers finished and Finland had four members of
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four Stanley Cup playoffs. Talk about Barkov, rod.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Well, he's to me, to me, the greatest captain in
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: the National Hockey League. I know there's a lot of
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: people that would.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Argue that, but he's the captain of the Stanley Cup champions.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you the Panthers fans are extremely excited
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: about this game tonight because it's Alexander Barkov of Team
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Finland versus Matthew kachuck a Team USA.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: And Joshua Door wrote in here earlier Scott.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: And said, who's covering the four Nations face off for
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: you guys, Joshua is because we're not able to watch it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: There you go, somewhere in there, jobs said, who's covering it?
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: So I love Barkov. There you go, who's covering four nations?
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: He will be the next Jersey number to be retired
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: by the Florida Panthers.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Write it down. That's how I'm well.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: He already leads in games played, goals, assists points, power
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: play playoff points, I think power play goals.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: He leads everything, games played.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: He's he's the greatest.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: He will I think go down in history.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: He's the greatest Fanther of all time.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, if I heard correctly,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I've covered them from the COVID year. Rod. Don't they
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: call Browerie County Barkoff County?
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I've heard that. Yeah they should. They should rename it
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Barkov County.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but I think they do call it. I mean,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: that's how these people get up there in Brower County.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Brower County is the only team actually is the Florida Panthers.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And if I really want to stir up the pot here,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the Marlins should have built the stadium adjacent to the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Dolphins instead of having it in Little Cavana. But now
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: leaves it for another day, for another conversation. But yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: there's no question about that. From Barkoff is the Florida Panthers,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: And yes, I couldn't agree with you more. Rod his
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: jersey is going up to the raptors. Let me tell you,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about an interesting Detroit Panthers irony.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: The number one is retired in Florida UF by Roberto Wono.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? And number one is retired in Detroit
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: by Terry Sawchot you talk about outstanding Golter? Did you
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: know that? Of course? Okay, Well I knew, I knew
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I couldn't put anything past you. This was too easy
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to get passed you, all right, go ahead, George.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, yeah, I mean he has had a great career,
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: and even in his last five games he's got two
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: goals and and uh seven and eight assists. He's been
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: playing very very well. Uh and and you guys are right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's had a tremendous career. He's up to
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: two hundred and eighty career goals now four hundred and
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: eighty three assists for seven hundred and sixty three total
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: points in his career. And he's one of those guys
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: that just keeps going and going and going like the
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: energizer battery. You know, We've got a fell in Detroit
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: named Dylan Larkin. And I'm not trying to compare apples
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: to oranges here, but Dylan's another guy that just grinds out,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: he gets it done. And uh and and Barkoff is
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: the same kind of fellow in that sense. Six '
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: three two point fifteen, he's got great size. What is
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: he twenty nine years old now? But yeah, he's he's
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: a hero, not only down there with the Panthers, don't
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: forget the whole country of Finland as well.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Great guy.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: And obviously, uh, I'm gonna go on your word, guys
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: that we're going to see that Jersey retired there at
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: at the Panthers Arena.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: This is just a no brainer. Rod Rod brought up
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the obvious no brainer of the show because he's right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: You know, he already gave you every stat on the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: planet that Barkov owns, right pretty much. So yeah, he's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: going up in his rasters matter. It's not a matter
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of if, it's a matter of when, And the next
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: trip will be to Toronto in the Hall of Fame
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: when that time comes, all right, you know, we're gonna
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: shift here is just a little bit here and that's this.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: A few weeks ago we talked about Dusty May and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: what he's done with the Michigan Wolverines. We're gonna update
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the story a little bit, George, and I you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: we all know that Juwan Howard had a rough year
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: last year that cost him a job. But get this,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Michigan men basketball coach. Wolverines took down Purdue and now
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they moved to eleven and two in the Big Ten,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and they are in first place. Rot first place in
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten, but in Michigan State, by the way,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: he's in second place. The Wolverines are three and seventeen
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: last year, which cost mister Howard his job, and now
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: they're nineteen and five and eleven and two. So when
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you talk about the amazing turnaround, there was no way
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Florida Atlantic was gonna keep the guy anyways. They were
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: only gonna offer him a million bucks. And Dustin me,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I believe time for a three point seven million by
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the five of them, I could rip that contract up
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and give him a blake check, because that's what's gonna
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: happen anyway. And if anybody's thinking about him going to Indiana.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Don't hold your breath. He's going to Indiana. He loves
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Michigan and Michigan State and it's doing an unbelievable job
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: in an arbor rot, So let me ask him. We
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: talked about this for a little bit familiarity with we're here,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: talks about the job that Dusty may had done and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: then Arbor.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I have to defer to you guys about that.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'd like to know how many the same
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: players they have this year from last. Obviously they must
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: have been active in NIL transfer portal obviously, right, And
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: it's it sucks because FAU in all sports, but particularly
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: football and basketball, are going like this because they don't
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: have the money. They're not getting the kids, they don't
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: have the n L NIL money. So I don't know
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: what the roster's changeover was. I know what Dusty Maye
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: did here last year and then the year before that, especially
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: go to the final four. He's he's earned his money.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: To FAU is just they're not hiring coaches like that anymore.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Well, they are not keeping them that long. Because here's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the thing that you are right about, Ryan. You know
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: they're tailing off or becoming more level. But Dusty May
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: didn't have to go far in the transfer portal Okay
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: to bring back Black Golden because he was at FAU. Now,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: he didn't recruit a lot of the guys from FAU,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: but he's a fantastic recruiter anyways, he really is. But
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: if you're comparing Florida Atlanta, which has maybe a four
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: thousand steak stadium at the most, versus Michigan, which has
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: whatever Christ arenas, and get this, let me point out
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: something in New Orleans which would be intriguing to you guys.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I went over to Southeastern Louisiana University and actually did
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a serene Sunday which will be aired probably the next
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: few days or so about the Southeastern Louisiana Alliance out
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of the Southland Conference. Why am I bringing them up
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: here today? Easy? Rod, Easy, George. Seventy five hundred seat
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: stadium at AU has four thousand, and this is a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Southland Conference school. So as far as I'm concerned, Dusty
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: May has done unbelievable work. This team could be a
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with in the Final four. And Rod,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it yourself. He took that either the Final
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: four two years ago. If you were ever at a
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: game last year when he was here in that place
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a pact that was unbelievable. I don't know if you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: made it any basketball games last year or not, but
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it was unbelievable to see that Jim Field and now
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: was probably half the side. But you actually you surprised me, Ron.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: You gave me a little bit more than I anticipated
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: on this topic because somehow, some way you carved out
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: an FAU angle, which is true. They cannot compete nil
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: transfer portal with the big voice. So there you go, Rod,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that's your contribution to this topic. It may progress in
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: five week. Mister Peterson, I corn takeover.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I don't have the exact number of how
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: many guys are new this year, but yeah, there was
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: quite a few changes on the roster. The Michigan Wolverines
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: are the talk of the nation right now. I mean,
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Dusty May has come in here. He settled things down.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: He is a great teacher, great fundamentals. He really really
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: has made an impact immediately on the campus at ann
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: Arbor U of M. Hey, listen, they got guys like
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: there's five guys that are averaging over double digits, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: obviously between ten and fifteen points a game. It's well balanced,
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: but the five top guys are all in double digits
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: on average for points rebounds. They got this big guy,
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Danny Wolf at center, and he's he's a.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Rebound king man.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: He's got you know, ten rebounds per game, plus the
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: averages almost thirteen points a game.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: They have done a really, really good job. And like
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: you already said, Scott, I mean leading the Big Ten.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: No one expected this. I mean, you know, there's there's
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: great teams out there, you know, and and defeating Perdue
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: the of it. And I just a just a real
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: tremendous win for Michigan to defeat Perdue, which is one
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: of the best teams as we know, always in basketball
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: in the Big Ten conference. And we'll be interested to
• 29:39

  Speaker 1: I can hunt. Go ahead.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: I got to ask you guys something. Sorry, just on
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Michigan basketball, not the Wolverines. But I just started watching
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the Netflix series Malice at the Palace the other night.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Were you guys there?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I wasn't.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I was there, Yes, I was.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: What was that like?
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Well, unbelievable, disgusting, unbelievably disgusted. I was as a sports
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: journalist Malice at the Palace.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, but you know.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: The Pistons of course, you know they were a part
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: of it, and and Ben Wallace gave that you know,
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: got into the face of of the pacers, and and
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: you know it just it just anyways, it's a great series.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen it yet, but Rod, I'm taking your
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: word for it. Know it's going to be a good series.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: A lot of investigative reporting into that went into that.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: You know, they don't make these series up just for
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: the second sake of entertainment.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: They go to the facts as well.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: So it was a really bad moment in Detroit sports history,
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: no question about it.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: But Indiana did did the damage too. The Pacers contributed heavily.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yet there are a lot of tensions that there there.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Dandy Beck on what.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: You got Dan, the reason why I'm back. I wanted
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: to say there were two players that returned to the
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: Michigan Wolverines, Namari Burnett and Will to shudder. All the
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: rest are transfers in or.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: That.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: So just see you two of them.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Thank you, change, thank you.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, change. Well I knew that Ben Walla, Ben Wallas.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I'll be thinking that Dusty Mayo was going to keep
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of players from a three and seventeen team.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: There's no way. Now you see the difference in the records.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: It's always good to keep cabs on the story that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: we have reported on before, and now we see where
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: they're at. Later on, as we approached Mark, Vegas, which
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: is coming up real soon, George had a really good
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: topic Rod about the national televised Game. So George wants
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to put give us all the information and we weren't
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: happy to take your lead on this.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, well, my friend here, my colleague, of course, Scott
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: morgan Off, who I've worked with for forty five years.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: He's uh, he's a guy that always makes this statement,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: but it's a good one. You know, the Original six.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: The networks need the Red Wings and other Original six
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: teams to succeed. Now we've seen lately Chicago and Detroit
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: had been yea in Montreal.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: You know, but they made a comeback now.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is is that Tampa
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Bay Lightning and Red Wings game that was televised just
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: last weekend drew a tremendous audience, up thirty two percent
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: from a year ago when we had the Blues and
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: the Sabers playing that same time, that same day, if
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: you will, that that the Red Wings and the Lightning
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: played on this year.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: So what we're saying, what we're seeing is something.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: That again you guys have talked about, you especially Scott,
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: is the fact that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Hockey does need these rivalry.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Hockey needs the not just the rivalries of the Original Six,
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: but I mean the original six teams in those games
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: bring out the best in the ratings. And it's proven
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: again by ABC's Hockey Saturday numbers. Like I said, that
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: far outdrew what they did a year ago when Buffalo
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: and Saint Louis were playing. So again, the numbers tell
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: the story that everybody loves historic teams, original teams. You know,
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: why do you think other sports do this as well?
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: But but hockey does a really good job of keeping
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: the Big the Big Six, the Original Six in the
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: in the mix, especially the American teams of course, because
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: they're an ABC.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, network your thoughts on this ride.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't have come listen. I'm Canadian man.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: We grew up. Original Six was part of our curriculum,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: and I come down here and I can tell I mean,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: I live in South Florida. We have huge amount of
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: fans of all those teams, especially the Bruins and the Rangers.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: But there's something special about it. And we live in
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: a social media age. Guys, go look and see how
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: many followers they have on social media.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: The Original Six teams are into the millions.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Really Yeah.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: The Panthers are not. They don't even have a million.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: The Lightning are not. They don't even have a million.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: It just tells you, I don't know if it's a
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: population thing a historic thing.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: George is not wrong. Those teams have been around for
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: over one hundred years.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Boston just celebrated their one hundred year anniversary, right, it
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: means something. Having said that Edmonton, Florida last year was
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: the second highest viewed Game seven and Stanley Cup Playoff history,
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: that there was a hell of a story behind it, right,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Panthers were p three nothing and then it became three
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: to three. So yes, yeah, yeah, they need the original
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: six teams that I put it in my column here,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: the South Florida tribute. It's weird seeing Chicago and Detroit
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: not at the top, seeing him at the bottom, you know.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: So I hope Detroit gets in. It's gonna be wild
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: for Chicago. Could be a.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Real long time your shirt.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I got a cheer from Windy City. It's pretty
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: good times up there. I love the Wendy City. I
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times I told you that's
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: a great place, Chicago, go see the Lions and the
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Bears of Soldier Field before they take off. Yeah. But
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: you know, here's an interesting thing. I'm in New Orleans, okay,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and I ended up taping the lightning in the Red
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Wings game remotely because they had those little ass you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm like Mark, Mark Harmon of n cis okay,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they're about. The technology even do
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: you think I got the brains and the family doing
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: it and stuff remotely over one thousand miles away to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: record it. If I want to find out what the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: score was, if they lost, we deleted and they lost
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: six to three. I ain't to watch that thing. But
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: it was a nice option is it would have been
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: a win. I could come back home and watch it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: But who that many years ago you slapped the me
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you had to be there recorded an advance that those days,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: my goodness, are really seriously elly, Yeah, I mean yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that's an interesting point I think to answer where you're
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: talking about the Rod, the real answer is behind the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: fact that the history behind the sex. When you think
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: of how many national TV appearans the Redlings have made.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Even though they've had some rebuilding years, they've had more
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: than most would because of who they are, most of
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: them won't even get a sniff. The Florida Panthers are
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: starting to get national TV because they're winning and they've
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: built a much better culture than they have in years.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: But the question is is to you Rod, because you're
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the closer Panther authority on this Should the Florida Panthers
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: slack a little? Bet? Do you think that their national
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: television appearances will decline drastically or a lot, or what.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: They'll decline within a year?
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: These ticket prices have gone up twenty to sixty percent here.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: I don't talk about it much on my shows. I
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: don't write about it in your paper, and I don't
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: because I don't want to.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like negativity. Right, but the Panthers are.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Goosing their fans here financially, and they should.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: They've been in the last two Stanley Cup finals.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: This could be three in a row. They're milking it, right,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: but they nobody stays on top forever. Ask the Detroit
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Red Wings, right, Yeah.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: You had to bring it up, but you're so right.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it won't take long for Florida to be out
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: of these National Games within a year. I was sure.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: I swear they will be.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Well. The only thing that the Florida Panthers won't have
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: to do like a lot of other teams, at least
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: they're in a great stadium I love. I don't know
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: what they're calling it dedays and changing the names every
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: few years, but that's one of the best stadiums I've
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: ever worked at. I really enjoy working there. They'll never
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: they won't have to move. They got it right, and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: they got the right area, and they're following and what
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: even what's even better about what they've done. I haven't
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: been to their new practice facility in Sunrise or not
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: in Sunrise Fort Lauderdale, have.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: You, Ronieah?
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear so. I think if by the War
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Memorial Auditorium, Is that correct?
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Right next door?
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I used to go ahead and watch some incredible
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: boxing matches there. Was unbelievable, So they definitely were smart.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: You have the stadium on the west side of Proward
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: County and then you have the heartier fans on the
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: east side where there's some money in Fort Lauderdale. That
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: to me was really shrewd moves on their part. I
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: don't get out there as much. I'm so busy with
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: what we're doing here. It's a tribune as well as
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: covering Super Bowls and bigger events that trying to manage
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: an operation as we add more and more shows and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: trying to maintain the best one and keep them going.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Weaking and wake out aslong with the numbers are good.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: It's a real challenge, but I've enjoyed it. I'd love
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: to get out there at some point. But that's why
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: we have people like you representing us over there to
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: make sure that there's a presence from The Peterson Show,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: but our presence as well, because we're able to reach
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: those fans regardless what we do it on podcasts format
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: or whether it's done through your upwriting and Folks, if
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen Rod's writing on the South worda tribute
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Whitia Waiteboard, this gott to write some incredible stuff West.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Part about his stuff is I have to edit it.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: It's stuff. It's like as good as a press relief
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: from a media distribution partner. Get it. So get out
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: there and look for the Rob Peterson drop down Boxton.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I think what contributors writing Candy I believe is that correct?
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: So this guy here, I love putting his stories up.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: I think they're fantastic. I mentioned them on what Facebook today.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: That's excellent and you obviously very cordial and the response.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: But I will give credit words due. I don't think
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it was any good. I wouldn't say anything bad. I
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say anything. But if I think it's good. I'm
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: gonna compliment somebody because they don't need the negativity of Roger.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: That's plenty out moments or go. But if you get
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: a chance to read this, stuff is outstanding. And speaking
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: of that segue, Okay, Rod is going to have the
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: opportunity to select a topic from your most recently published story, Rod,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Well, it's just the four nations face off and the breakdown.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: It's the the NHL's on a break right now. And
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: to be honest, I kind of feel bad for the stars.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: When I worked in junior hockey, I saw this. Our
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: best players were always being tugged in every different direction,
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: all Star games and shows, case events. Do you know
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: what I mean? At eight Panthers are in this tournament
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: five Lightning, but the Panthers have the most of any teams.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: They're just praying that nobody gets hurt.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: That is in Shaye Theodore, the Vegas Golden Knights got
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: hurt last night for a team Canada. He's done for
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: the tournament. Like that's the scary thing. You ask him
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: to play at a high level. You know, when a
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: tournament like this, you just pray nobody gets hurt. We're
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: loving the hockey.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: The four nations face off, but just pray nobody gets hurt.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: See who wins? May the best team win?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: All right? You know what, Rod, here's the thing. Okay,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: this is what I was tony before we went on
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: pre production. When you share the content on your timeline,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: we get this superstar that comes on every thing. Go
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: we when I say superstar, right, screenshot this if you
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: get a chance, D Lightning or whatever, and then tell
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: you something. This guy is a result of your following
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. So if you didn't know who he was, now,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: mister Peterson, this.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Is the guy.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: We want to make sure it comes out in real
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: eight because you know something, this is really what it's
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: all about. Everybody that we obviously know and I you know, listen,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I wasn't much about social media by the seven years ago.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I care less about it. But the reality of the
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: situation is, if we're any more people that we never
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: ever hit before. Who would have ever thought I could
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: give you a line to what two reports out at
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: New Orleans like the way we did it because of
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: all this stuff, unbelievable stuff. And I enjoyed those reports.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: But go out there, Rod, D Lightning three hundred m l.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know or it is, but this is the
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: guy as a result of your earlier efforts, and that's
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: why we gotta met on. Thank some mister Peterson. Great stuff.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Rod can't kick you round to night. I had the
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: comble metcha and I have zero problem. Good stuff all right.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: So George, do you have any comments on his topic about.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean yeah, I mean I mentioned it earlier,
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: the same thing about the injury thing, and especially when
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: you have so many players.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what I mean. Look back in history,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and that's when the NHL always did it. They did
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: it in the middle.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: Of the season or sometimes near the end of December.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: I remember Canada Cup. Uh funny story there. My my sister,
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: my older sister Cindy and her husband John. They called
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: me up and said, hey, were you on to watch
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: the kids on New Year's Eve? They must have known
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: I had a boring life, huh. Romance wise, So I
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: went over in Roseville, in a city not far from
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: me here, and I babysat for Nathan and Christie.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Guess what was on that night New Year's Eve? Canada Cup?
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: Oh hockey Canada. We could get there to Detroit on
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: our local channel nine. It's called here And I'll never
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: forget that Canada against Russia and it was on New
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Year's Eve and it was just a great, great game
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: that brings back great memories for me as well. Like
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: I said, I was on a babysitting assignment for the family.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: But all kidding aside, note this is pure, pure good hockey.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: We all know that.
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: We all know that they picked four of the best
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: referees and four of the best linesmen or six of each.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I forget what it was. I mean, you know, it's
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: just like an all star format. It's just like a
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: world class tournament. And you said, Scott and Rod, you
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: know the NHL got it right. They got it right.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for those of you just joining us, I mentioned
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: the comment earlier and I'm going to re enter again.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I know Rod Josh is watching the Four Nations and
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that's great. He comes down when he can, takes a
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: little bit break as a young child, and I know
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: his wife suspecting another one pretty soon. But I always
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: said that the NHL has the best All Star format
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: of any of them, whether they're playing it internationally or
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: what you guys play, hard hockey players harder than anybody
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: in the world. Even Charles Barkley likes these guys. They
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: don't deal with load management or any of that nonsense.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Charles Barkley likes hockey players, and he is in my book. Rod,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: have you gotten to the page where you've had a
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: chance to see a picture of Charles Barkley and I.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, no, I can't recall.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in there. When you ultimately get to it,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: you'll see Charles Barkley and I and now you'll be
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: And I'm not putting it down. I'm just saying he's
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: in there, and he's a big fan of hockey because
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: he knows that there's no low management. All right, So yeah,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Rack Dashaw Joran has a great question, and you know what, Rod,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I'd like you to address it since we have a
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: few more minutes ago. Do you think the ten minute
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: overtimes will make their way to the NHL regular season?
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Great question, Jack.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: They're on the way. From what I understand, I think
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: they might even be. I guess they won't be changing
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: a mid season, but from what I understand, that will
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: be instituted for next year. I laugh, because that game
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: last night went to overtime. They're using all the NHL rules,
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: and they debuted the ten minute overtime. Schmartner scored like
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: one oh six into overtimes, so it really didn't matter.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: I like to leave the rink and get home. I
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: don't know why they're extending the overtime. I don't know
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: why they're going from five to ten minutes, but people
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: seem to love it. Sounds like Joshua Door does, so yeah,
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: it's it's coming from what I understand.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually pall the rule. I really do you
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: know what, you can't get enough hockey. I mean, it's
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the most when you get it to overtime, it's just unbelievable.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: So I guess let me ask you a follow up,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: no question, Rod, just say, hypothetically, you do get the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: ten minute overtimes, what does that do for the shootout?
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Do they keep it or they get rid of it?
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: They're going to do it?
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I wasn't sure about that. I really, hey,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: ten minutes night, you're on here, buddy, he said, I'm not,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and he's not. Ron John said, is not the biggest
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: fan of the shootout. Maybe this rule will probably alleviate
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: any possibility you'll get to those shootouts by going there
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: ten minute. Now, by contrast, you want to talk about
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: satirizing a sport, I'll do it. Just say hypothetically the
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: NBA or to go to ten minutes orders with four
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: of them instead of twelve. Oh my gosh, you want
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: to talk about a laughing stock of the league? That
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: would make it worse. You're so you're gonna turn two
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: minutes down for that game? What do you do with
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the records and everything else? That that particular for me
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and me, it's seriously really Thankfully we don't talk about
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: it much unless I want to criticize it that I can
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: mention it on the show. But hockey get it's it right.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: These guys have more expensive dental bills than anybody on
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the planet, and there's stuff fus in their bunt, and
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: they're the lowest paid athletes of the four major sports,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: and they work harder than anybody, and they're cuffing harder
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: to get to anybody as well. I fell all he
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: said hockey had the playoff. Four men on the planet,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: not n Why do you think dedicate Thursday night that's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Rockey Night? Because I got Peterson up. But once upon
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: a time was they get it down here putting up
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: with my loud mouth a couple of times a month
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: over in Boca. And by the way, Rod uh, just
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: so you know, from them, says and myself, we hope
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: you and this arena will be available maybe next Saturday
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: night to go to the man Cave. Just putting it
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: out there, you know. I know she's sleeping right now,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: and then we'll be able to find some other stuff
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: to do and plan for what we're looking to do
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: because I've got some major changes coming on here. I'll
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: be looking into adding more guests on here to build
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a show. As it is, the numbers are unbelievable, as
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: they always are on Thursday Night, becoming our most popular
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: show on the network as well. So with all due respect,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of good things there, George and
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I and Rod or the core, and we will add more.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: How do you like that? I have much cafey today,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: come up, so any closing talks I like everybody, no fire,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: fire up is at the top of the hour or
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: as soon as we're done. I wasn't plenty of time
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: women on this one, because we have a lot of
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: topics to get to and I know, we're caught up
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: for everyone. We've got Rod's information. Georgia's a topic and
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: you know what, see Landy, You're right, shootouts aren't getting boring.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: That's why they're probably gonna end be ten minute over.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: That's news to me. I learned things on these shows
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: all the time. If that's around myself with the best
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: people I can on the planet to get this information
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: out there. So yeah, it's great stuff. It really really is. Right.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Any other thing that you want to talk about the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Panthers lightning that you haven't brought up right now, that
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I'll give you another couple of minutes or so, because
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: you obviously put a lot of work into the editorial
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: part of the program.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Oh no, just go read the callum.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: I'm excited to go watch the game USA Finland right now.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: I checked. It's one one late in the first period.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they're still playing or not. But
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: I'll just tell all our viewers to enjoy the hockey
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: because these tournaments don't come around very often. And you
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: can follow me. Just look up at Rod Peterson on Twitter,

  Speaker 1: gonna be adding some more South Florida colleagues as time
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: goes on. I just got back from the Super Bowl.
• 49:56

• 49:57
  Speaker 1: other half that we're a little hungover from New Orleans
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: and blastling to burying content, which is a nice problem
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: to have. But now that I'll have two or three
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: weeks to really catch my breath and sort some things out,
• 50:07

• 50:09
  Speaker 1: in advance. So make sure that we're going to be
