• 1:24
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't. I just asked like in general, I'm like,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: how's it been to call this? And he's like, every
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: every shift is a one minute penalty. And he's like
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: he's like, we give we we'd be whistling the whole game,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: even though he's like, we called a ton the last
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: few games. And he's like, we've even like we're trying
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to stay away from it and let you know, let
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: them play and you know, call it within the rules
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and and all that. But it's just crazy. It's like
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: it's a little chaotic of a series. You know, it's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: been great, you know, I I games three and four
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: where you know that the end result of four was
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: kind very exciting, but you know, just like horrible first
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: period by Edmonton, horrible period by Florida in the second,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and then it kind of evens out. But anyway, back
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to the travel day, it was pretty I was sitting
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: next to micro up the whole way. George Paris was there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: We were sitting shooting the ship shooting the breeze. We
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: had a forty minute layover in salt Lake because they
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: just kind of created this Edmonton to salt Lake one way.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So it was great. It was really not as crazy
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: as last time. Was still up at you know, was
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: out of the rink at one in the morning, up
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: at four point thirty, and then got in at you
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: know whatever time Edmonton three pm. Went right to golf
• 2:31

  Speaker 2: Yeah, shot a forty shot of forty two and on
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the front on the nine and had a couple of cocktails.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Went back to Royal Mayfair my spot Matt Johnson GM there,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: amazing guy hooked me up. We uh had a couple
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of drinky poos and then I came back and I'm
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: on with you schmucks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Big question from tal how does the guy rupper size
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: handle an airplane seat?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Oh? Just his hips are locked up by the end
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of that. But I mean he first, you know, first class.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: By the NHL throwing us on there, at least they
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: could do is throw us on. You know, when we're
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: taking sixty five flights just to get to Edmonton, we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: could be first class. And you know, white people problem
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and first world problems, but I'll take it. I ain't complaining.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I ain't complaining. The last thing I ain't too.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Proud of BG Was he not great song Temptations?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Was Eja there or no? No, EJ was not. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he drove me home from the game last Sight, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I kind of as it's like a thirty minute drive,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and I was kind of like, hey, EJ, we're going
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: back to Edmonton, like your boy, you know, Terry, the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: guy that kind of supposed to drive you to him
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: from the rink, and you know, there's a little bit
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of a missap and I just wanted to fire him
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: up again. So I got him going a little bit.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: But he's like, hey, listen, you know, you know, it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: not like I want to go, but you know he's
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: he came down and he's going to be here. He's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: lock stocked in town. I invited him out to golf
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: could make it because he's a big avid golfer. Two
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: so but he played. Yeah, I think he ended up
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: playing like Turnberry in Florida twice. So he had a great,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: great little run in Florida, great great run by him.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Me and Ken Danico. Today we're gonna get to your
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: nine minute demo.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Fantastic.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: How do you fill up an hour show? Do we

  Speaker 1: have a demo from Jason Demris?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: We do?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, him, Mike Rup net Front presence you and Schneide's unbelievable.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Mike Johnson got the skates on again. Daniel was giving

  Speaker 4: He said, no, I can't.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I can't quite do it. Dan.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: What I liked about it was, you know, lift the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: stick up. He's like, too often these guys don't do it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Jason's right, you gotta lift that stick up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Get it up there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, Dana like he's ready to get
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: out of the ice right now. This is enough, these
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: old little moves. These guys do good Dutch stick up
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and He's right, listen, can't screen the goalie. The two screens,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that's the problem. Get out of the way. Either block
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it or get out of the way. It's ken, Danico,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: approve of your demo. By the way, Wow, shut up
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to Bower.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Bower ha finally doing what they need to do. Still
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: waiting on my endorsement deal, Still waiting on a little
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: bit of cash, but yeah, you got it. Listen, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: was a smart player. I just might have been in
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the pub a little bit too much and uh not
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: minding my p's and q's. But fuck, when I was
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: out there, I was tight, tight on the ice. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: knew every trick in the book, every dirty trick, because
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I was I wasn't the fastest, wasn't the strongest, But
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: by golly g whiz, was I the smartest out on
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that seven hundred exactly. So let's get to the game.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I want you honest answer, because I see a Daniel
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: when I saw three nothing. Okay, this may not go
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: back to Florida like that, This might be done in five.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Like that's nine to one now in four straight periods.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Florida is a wagon. Sandford a pell Your boy was like, No,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna keep going. No, you didn't
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: three Sandford tell Sandford, he goes, No, I knew everything.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You did not admit to a comeback. Maybe didn't think
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the game was over, but you did not go even
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: three one. You go, Florida'll score four to one. Did
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you see it coming when you're watching unfold? Did you
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: have any inkling this Oilers team was gonna come back
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and make it three and then four to a tie
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with nineteen seconds left.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: No, we were all looking at that being like after
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that was the worst first period a team could have
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: played in the Stanley Cup Finals I've ever seen in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: my life. A man, let me tell you this, all right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: let me tell you this about this game. I thought
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: one thousand percent that game was over after the first period.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You could not have had a worse start than the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Tinoiler's had and the worst first period. I mean, they
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: were taking on water like it was nobody's business. They
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: left out, They left old poor Stewart Skinner out to dry.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: That was not his fault. All capped by poor Troy
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Stetcher getting hammered in the head with a cross check
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and then being dashed one and then playing fourteen seconds
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: after that. So it was not a great first period.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: You know, we all expected up top league, you have
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to put cal pickard in the net, you have to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: throw them in there kind of get something going. We
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: were like, there's gonna be trash cans being thrown. We're
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: gonna see if this team can respond. But for me,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, let's take our ninety second hit me
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and kt Catherine tappan, let's get the hell out of here.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And wow, did they turn it around. And I don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: know what it is about this Edmonton Oilers team, but
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: they just like they look god awful and then they're
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: able to like, I don't know, it's a dumpster fire
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: of a game, and then they wrangle this back, they
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: chip away, they end up winning it overtime, and it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: just crazy with five defensemen, which you got to give
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a big shout out to the defenseman Portroy Stetcher, you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: getting scratched fourteen seconds of ice time in the second
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: period and then he was parked on the bench. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Darnell Nurse, Jake Wallman, you know, they really kind of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: battled hard. You know, there was a lot of turnovers,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of mistakes by Edmonton, but they just battled hard.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And what can you say about cal Pickard seven and zero?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup Playoffs comes in in relief, gives them goaltending.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The street hockey ebug goaltender of the nineties comes in.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: He's kicking, kicking, like a goddamn whirling dervish out there,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and I know that doesn't make any sense, but don't worry, folks.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: He was so good. I loved everything about his game.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: And then you know the big credit up front. You know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you know, defenseman, when you're playing five D sometimes you
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: get into a rhythm and it's actually better to play
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: five D for it. You can't do it over a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: sustained amount of time, but for that that kind of game,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: in that moment, five D was perfect. But then up
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: front you got the Pod coles In's, the Jeff Skinners
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: stepping up having fantastic hockey games. When in a game,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: even though you know Leon dreisid on three points in
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the game Winner, wasn't his best game, Like, I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: think it was his best game by any stretch of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the imagination. Connor McDavid as well, they had some flashes
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of brilliance, which they do, but they weren't the greatest
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: of games. But their depth once again comes through, picks
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: up some big goals and just they found a way
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to wrestle this back. And now it's two to two
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: going to Rogers Place. That building is gonna be a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: fucking zoo tomorrow, barn animals everywhere, screaming, yelling, point going
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: woof all that shit. It's gonna be crazy a bunch
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of mutants in there, and I love every second of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it because those Oilers fans are ready to go. They're
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: going to be drunk at right now. Probably I left
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Rogers Place is gonna be rocking. The fans are going
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to be blow the roof up the place. I saw
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Craig McTavish at the golf course. He's ready to go.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He can't wait. Mac T mac t no bucket, no dome,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: HDECKI no domo.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Two things about mac T no helmet plus taking out
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Harvey the Hound's tongue on the great moments. Ever, when
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it comes to mascot at violence, Yeah, we'll get to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: get to Picker and Leon in just a second, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: towly once to know, and I'm sure people at home
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: want to know. Did you get to meet Taylor Swift
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: or Travis kelce No?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Fuck those two? Why would I want to meet Why
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: would I want to meet these two people? We have
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: nothing in common. There would be no relatable moment.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not if Travis kelcey.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great, Hey, what's up? What's it? Other than what's up?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Hey?

  Speaker 2: Cool? Bro? Like I'm not the biggest I'm not an
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: enormous football fan. Respect a lot of respect to what

• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know, bochi ball on the weekends and play crib
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in the Hamptons? I don't think so, because I'm not
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: on the same level as them, So why the hell
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: would I even want to entertain the fact of going
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to shake hands with them? I could give a shit.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I got my own stuff. I love this tape.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You tell me, Jill's not like a tailor Swift fan.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: There's no girls, No, we have zero. We have zero

  Speaker 2: for those two. Like if we met him and they're
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: good people and we hung out, had some drinks together.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But if they asked me if we were hanging out
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: them and somebody's like, are you Taylor Swift fan, I'm like, no,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I don't really know any of her songs. My Jill

  Speaker 2: seventy five, I like that. I like that jazzy music,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: So you know, I don't like that pop shit. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: then Travis Kelcey listen, he went from the you know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: he went from the most Oh, this is a tough
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: one house.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: What do you oh?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: He really took a one eighty on his type of girls,

• 11:09
  Speaker 2: he was very like I don't want to say thuggish
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: because that's gonna get me in trouble, but you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: he talked with a certain tone and was had a
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: specific type of girl that he liked. And then he
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: one EIGHTI with Taylor Swift and now all.

  Speaker 1: Over time he of the playoffs no playoff overtime goals
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: in his career has for these playoffs new all time
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: record for single postseason. He breaks a tie with Matthew Chuck,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Corey Perry, Maurice re Short and Mel Hill. Your boy
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: joy Sell now has the same number of playoff overtime
• 12:46

• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Glenn Anderson, Perry Brad marsha and Patrick Kane and Carter Verhagen.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Right now, for the con smythe if the Panthers win,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: we know it's me, Sam Bennett. If the Oilers win
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: right now, the slight favorite is dry Seal.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Him and McDavid both have three two points.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Dry Sell has eleven goals, McDavid has six.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Are you on board with me that?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: If the Oilers win, dry sells the cons Smith I had.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: A big David. Here's my thought, and here's my hot take.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Let's say you play cal Pickard the rest of the way.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: He wins the next two games.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: That's that's ridiculous. The goalie is not gonna get it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: He wins the next two games. He's nine and oh
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Okay, you're telling me you're gonna sit there,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: You're gonna sit there. This an eight ninety six a percent.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I don't give shit.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: He's nine and oh n he's seven oh right now,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it's a great if he runs the table the postseason,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: since Chris Oscar won nine straight, it's a great story.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: But he's not playing the entire Stanley Cup Final. If
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he played matter seven gate.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: No, he's gonna play two and a half games.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: That's that's not We're all here.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: For a story. We're all here for a story, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that's the story. Nine and oh cal Pickard con smythe
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: all No, I listen, Leon's probably gonna win it. If
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: if Edmonton wins, Leon wins it. I mean it's really
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: quite simple. I mean I'm kind of sick of the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: awards stuff because I know it's a couple of awards
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: this year. Yeah, the Heart Trophy and a few other ones.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, what's the point, Let's just let's
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: just make it a popularity vote. It's fine, It's it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: all good. So yeah, the cons smite, It'll be Leon.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And if it's Florida right now, I would kind of
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: have a toss up between Sam Bennett, Brad Marsha and Turgibobrovskis,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So it'd be kind of those three and that Edmonton
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: would either be Connor or Leon. But I mean it's
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: hard not to argue that it's Leon right now running
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: away with it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this about Picker, because you're all
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in on this guy. He stops twenty two or twenty
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: three shots, so there's no question Chris Nabloch pressed the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: right lever.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: That was the right move.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, this turns the scheme around. Do
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you think Pickard's now the guy the rest of the way,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: because I'm not entirely convinced. If Pickard has a bad
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: first period, I think you'd go to Skinner or do
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you think it's Picker the rest of.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: The way, Spice, I listen. I The one thing the game,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the one thing I was talking with Rupper about was like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Edmonton wins that game in overtime, and I feel like
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: there's between the two teams. They won that game, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: there's like a million questions about lineup for that team
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: versus like Florida. You're like, they're rolling out Florida like
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you're rolling out the same lineup again. No one's getting
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: changed Edmonton. I'm like, who the hell's is? Like, you're
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: putting Arbington back in? Is Klingberg coming in? Are you
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: putting Skinner in? It's like the most convoluted win I've
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: ever seen in my life, because you're like, can they
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: win with that exact lineup? I don't know. You can't
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: play five D do you put Klingberg back in? But
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you know, what are you gonna do if you put
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Klingberg back in? Because Darnell Nurse has this great game?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: They gave him more minutes, he played better, do you
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: reduce his minutes again? Do you put him with Bouchard?
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: What do you do up front? You put Perry up
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: top because they had those four lines rolled out and
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: he threw it in a fucking blender within a minute
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: and a half. Because they're the worst team of all
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: time to start the game. So it's like, really, you're
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: just sitting there like there's so many question marks. But
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I think in net, for me, i'll bias deside. I
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: feel like it's probably gonna be as tough as decision
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: is in the net because you go it's it's the
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: whole starts game five, though, the whole Stanley Cup's gonna
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: be judged on who's in nets for Edmonton, whether they
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: win or lose. If you put in Skinner and what
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: happens he gives up to do you pull him early again?
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Or if you put Calvin Pickard and he gives up
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: to do you yankum? And then what happens if Calvin
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Pickard has a good game but they lose and you
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: go into game six, do you go back to Skinner
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: vice versa Skinner loses again. It's there's so many questions,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So I think, you know, big Brass balls Chris Nabloch,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: who makes some great decisions and it seems to always
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: work with him, so whatever decision he makes will work.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But if it's skinner, I assume the leash to be very,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: very short. And it's tough because you look at all
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the comments from the guys. They know not that these
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: guys are grant fewer, no, no, one hundred percent, but
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: do you see the comments like towards Calvin Pickard, like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Leon Dry said, are like, it's amazing. We love this guy.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Jake Walman, Oh my god, he's the biggest beauty ever
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Pod Coles and we love him. We're so happy for him.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: It's so amazing because she doesn't looking at the home
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: depot like you're like that he's an ebug. He's an
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I love this guy. He's an ebug in a road
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: hockey goal he mixed together. It's the best thing ever.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: But he's like he's just so like he's so reflex
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: oriented and he just trusts his reflexes and it works.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I don't care under nine hundred. Above
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: nine hundred, you're winning games. He's seven and oh seven
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and o nine and oh runs a table. Cons might
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: suck it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Tell I think Pickard starts game five, I think it's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: still game to game. To Jad's point, they get Pickered struggles,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: they lose. Let Skinner starts game six.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: How do you see it? Yeah, I mean I think
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: na Block has shown that. Excuse me, Like you said,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: he's going to game to game, your excuse excuse me,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: He's going game to game.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: He's going minute to minute, shift to shift. That's not
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: just with the goaltending, That's what the whole lineup, right,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: He's just throwing in different guys seeing what works. I mean,
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: there's no tomorrow here, right, so he's just gonna do
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: whatever he has to do to get that next shift,
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: get that next game. Clearly Pickered is the guy for
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: the next game. But like you said, if if he doesn't,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: if he doesn't show out in game five, then I
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: could see Skinner getting right back in. And I could
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: see Skinner getting back in and absolutely playing his ass
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: off and looking fantastic out there, because he's done that
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: in these playoffs, looked horrible, and then get back in
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: there after a break and look like a standout franchise goalie.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: So I don't know what to expect, but anything could
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: and should happen with Chris napplock.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: One more thought for the Oilers, JD. Can you clean
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: up the goddamn penalty kill? Sixty six point two?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: It's so bad. It's so bad.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: So I got our great researchers that held it. Looks
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: like he was always peak of a team that won
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Vegas couple of years ago.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Was seventy one point two so bad?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: This would be historic when it's Stanley a couple of
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the Pelicans. If you want to take more penalties in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the how many more minor penalties you gonna take?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've never seen more high stickings of my life,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Like I just keep this, just don't even have a
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: stick at that point. If you're waving the white flag
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: like that and planting flags and trees, I mean, oh man,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: it's there. Their penalty kill is so bad right now,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: it's so bad at this point you might as well
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: put Connor and Leon out there and just say try
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: to go score and just make it a fucking Donny
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Brook out there and just skate any way you want,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: give up two on ones because it doesn't matter because
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: it's a coin flip. They're almost at a coin flip
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: where when they take a penalty. It's fifty to fifty
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: going in the net. That is horrendous. I mean those
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: goals that went the five on three was you know,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: over commitment on the loss of the draw after by
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Nuge and then you got to get a block, a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: nice shot by Kichak you couldn't see Stuke couldn't see it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Then that reinhard one. It's like they've been going into
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that middle bumper all series long, and Boory Cappening and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Walman go right to the back post and Ryan Hartlake
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: didn't know what to do. He had so much goddamn
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: time and then ends up just going to the net.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So it's it's wild. I don't know what they're doing.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for the pk 's or the PK
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: coach because if he's trying to put something out there
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: that's anything legitimate and he just doesn't have the personnel
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: or he's not teaching it the right way, I don't know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: but it's it's bad and they have no confidence right now.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: That's the problem they got it. They just have You
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: have to stay out of the box. You have to
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: play whistle to whistle stick on the ice and keep
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: it five on five as much as you can.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both power play units for the Panthers are lethal.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: It's not like all the first five come on from
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: no matter what they're gonna score. Like you said, there's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: no confers evonton where they're doing.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: It's terrible.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: One more quick thought, by the way, on trophies and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: consp myth, how about Daniell throwing this one in there?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: He goes, what about Evan Bouchord?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I go what he's plus fifty thousand? When the conspy
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: at the end, it goes, I love him. Bouschbaum has
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: been great for this team. He goes, He'll throw a
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: couple of pizzas once in a while, but he plays
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: twenty nine minutes. Give the guy some love. Like that
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: sounds like a defense.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: It's been talking.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Let's talk some awards. Jason Demurz, you were very upset
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: of it. Nikita kot Truck get screwed out of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Ted after he won the Teddle. Excuse me, you knew
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: would not win the Heart. Connor Hallibuck wins it eighty
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: one first place votes, one thousand, three hundred and forty
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: six total points. Dry saw fifty three first place votes
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: twelve oh nine. So I mean relatively coast one hundred
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and thirty points. Coach, your boy finished third, couldn't even
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: get a thousand points. Halibuk becomes the fourth goaling the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: expansion Era to win the Heart Dominic Kashik, Joseh, Theodore
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: carry Price. He also ran within with the Vesmi all
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: agreed thirty one to thretey two. Bessi Levski got one
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: vote there.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: So there's this theory.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I get this in baseball as well, right, Hey,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: why should a SIGG Award winner also win the MVP.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: They have their own trophy. Why should Justin Berlin win MVP, etcetera.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You can make that same argument. I don't necessarily buy that,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: like I do think if your numbers are that ridiculous,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you can win both theoretically. But it is funny JD.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: When you look at those things like Hashik, Yeah, he
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable. He would carry the carcass of a Sabers
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: team towards the playoffic Yeah, this is all Hashging is amazing.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Theodore again had the unbelievable season. Carry Price. I get it,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and I know we're not supposed to keep the playoffs
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in a part of the voting. I understand that aspect.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: But to your point, if you're just looking at most valuable,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: if I took a Halibuck from that Jets team, like,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: there's still a good team, their playoff team. If I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: took out dry Settle, even Mick David being hurt this year,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: older is a good team. You tip your boy Koucher off.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Where would Lightning be without him frame to finish third?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that is that's egregious.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: It's a he was robbed again and even worse this time.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, he's at the bottom of whatever canal in
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. You could be at the writers and whoever
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: the hell votes from. I think everybody should be stripped
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: of their vote. Yes, and we should votes. How do
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you win the Ted lindsay, so again, the players think
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: you're the best. The players just showed that everybody for
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: votes that votes for this is absolutely inept because the
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: players picked it. They see him the most, and they
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: play against him. They understand and they feel And to
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: your point with Connor, nothing against Connor l but yes
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: he's odds on VESNA. His numbers were just you know,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: out of this world quick wins. But again, their team
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: was like team defense is one of the best in
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the league. They had one of the most potent offenses,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: want the best power play in the league. So he
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: had run support, he had a great team around him.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: You know, Nikita Kutrov. Again, I always say, like operating
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and orchestrating that offense from the wing the way he
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: does and is so amazing at at just you know, run,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: everything runs through him. So for him to do what
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: he did this year, and if he wasn't there, I mean,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: where would their power play be, where would where would
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: their offense be without him? I mean, he's like thirty
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: forty points ahead of everybody year in and year out,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: and he can't even get into the top three. And sorry,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: he's in the top three, but he can't even he
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: can't even get like enough first place votes. And it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just it's just annoying, and it's honestly, it's just one
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of those things like that's just a lack of respect
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: for Nikita Kutrov and I'm not really listening. I don't
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: think he gives. I don't think he cares. And yeah,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: because we saw what he thinks about the All Star
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Game and all that stuff, and I think that's the point.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: That's not biting him in the ass.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: He led the league in scoring the past two years
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and can't come close to the park.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Think about that, I know, And you know, somebody made
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: a great point is like you look at people go,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: well look carry Price Connor Helbuck. I'm like carry Price.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: That Montreal Canadians teams was so bad and he like
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: dragged them to the playoffs. To your point, you know,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Connor didn't have to do that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: You now, if if Eric Conmery's in the nets, do
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: they make the playoffs? I don't know. But if you
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: put a Stuart Skinner in Winnipeg or at Calvin Pickard
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: in Winnipeg, I think their numbers are somewhat similar. They're
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: winning thirty five forty games with that team, and how
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: good that team was, because yeah, so it's just it's
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: it's tough. You don't like to see it, and it
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: is what it is. Guy's not getting the recognition. But
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I'm glad he won the Ted Lindsay And honestly, listen
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: to Connor. He had the wins and you know, tied
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the record for most wins, and he did some amazing
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: things in net and was so stout all year long.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: So listen, we're splitting hairs. It goes to him. I'm
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: not like overly pissed. I'm just pissed at the respect
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: for coach. And it wasn't closer because I figured he
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: wasn't gonna win it anyway. He's gonna get screwed like
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Brett Hart in Montreal or the WWE. But reference, I
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: just don't think he gets enough respect.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Especially when it comes to first place votes. Hell about
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: eighty one twy cell fifty three coach at twenty five,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Like that's quite.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: A disc puke.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Bill Lindsay one of our favorite guys at NHL Network.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Billion Lindsay knows in a breakdown video he's always great
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: on film, watching games. Look at this, look at this,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: look at this, and especially loving his.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Bloody Florida Panthers.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: JD breaking it down with Bill Lindsay coming up after
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: this year and unscripted. All right, we're gonna talk a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: little Joe Bowen here into a second, plus a little
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Chris Pridor conversation and is hockey coming back to Atlanta?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: What a three billion dollar mix juice facility. But first,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Bill Lindsay, one of our favorites NHL lewic I mean,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the guy cried for God's sake from the Florida Panthers
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: won the Stanley Cup. Nobody loves the Panthers more than
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Bill Lindsay and JD. You get to hang out with Billy, right, Yeah.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: We interviewed him for Stanley Cup Live, just the Sweetye Pie,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: and he was part of a ticket giveaway to Jamie Pardo,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the chief, the fire chief at a firehouse very close
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: that services Amatebank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. And it's a
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: great interview and he talks about it and I implore
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: people to go check out Jamie Pardo and that ticket
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: give away. So listen in and enjoy.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: Well, we just rolled off the top of our show.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: You go into that local fire station surprising the local
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: captain with tickets.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: What was that experience like for you to get back
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: to the community.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: There was nerve wracking actually to meet Captain Jamie Pardo.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: And these guys are the real heroes.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: To win the Stanley Coup, it takes passion, dedication, all
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: your effort at work. And he was the Educator of
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: the Year not only for down here but nationwide. Wow,
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: Like this is amazing achievement. Very humble guy, but you
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: could tell after a couple of minutes of meeting them
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: he had all those streets that he was gonna go
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: willing And there's probably days he probably thought this is
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: this is pretty tough, but he kept going in being
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: in that fire hall and they're doing it to save lives,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: like winning the Stanley Cup is awesome and you gotta
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: have a brotherhood, but they're walking into buildings emt our
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: first responders and they're doing it for real, and if
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: you don't have the trust but for the guy beside you, like,
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: people die in that situation. So they're just truly an
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: incredible man. Humbled to meet him and the sacrifice that
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: he was able to put through and to be in
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: that fire hole. Those men and women and Captain Jamie Parto,
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: they're heroes.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: And did you feel like it was a hockey locker
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: of like a team atmosphere? Because I watched that video.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: An amazing job you did, and Jamie Parter was so cool.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: What firefighters do they run in when everybody's running away,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: But it seems like they're a team, and it felt
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: like in that video it's like you're kind of back
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: in the locker room a little bit.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the fire hall has that feeling, right, and so
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: all the guys ribbing them a little bit, give them
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: a little jabs.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: It gets there.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: And when you're around and they're doing that kind of stuff,
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: it's probably they probably fight.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: They're crazy.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: Sometimes they're gonna go after each other at bark and
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: then the chirps coming back and forth.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, it probably can be a perfect fit for us.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly great job.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Other than actually walking into the fire fighters, we went
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: back out.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Then we can just hang out in the hall and
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: then we'll cook for him.
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: But they have a brotherhood and you can understand what's
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: going on there. It's it was really special just to
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: get it to meet him and all those firefighters out
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: there that do what I say, they are heroes.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt about that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Will you're part of this Florida Panthers families for one
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: of the biggest goals in franchise history, allowing you to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: win your first playoff series for the Panthers. You were
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: part of the run a year ago. Now you're part
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: of this team. What have you seen from this group
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: and what do you think makes them special?
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: They just really get after and they're hard and there
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: is we're talking about the firefighters, but there's that bond
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: in the walker, there's a trust for the guy besides
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: you that continue palm reice with the system.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: It's it's gonna play hard, and they depend on each other.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: They rely on each other, and you don't have that
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: fear of failure for yourself in the locker room like that,
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: you're afraid to let the guy down beside you. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: it starts with our top players and goes down throughout
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: and filters throughout the locker room. And it's special. I
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: have to really kind of just pinch myself and cher
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: it and just cherish the situation like this may never
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: happen again.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: It's rare. I have to sit back and soul.
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: And look at the fans and the special group of
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: players that we have on the ice, and the coach
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: and just just so especially third time, just look at everything,
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: experience everything, because you never know if this ever happens again.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Like let alone win a Stanley Cup, but get here
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: three times. It's a really talented, fun group to be around.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Just talk about Brad Barshan, like the feeling you get
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: when you're around that locker room and seeing what he's
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: brought to this team leadership wise.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Thirty seven going on twenty two. That's what it feels like.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: He was walking wait for a bus or getting on
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: and he said, thirty seven year old man, senior citizen.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Coming through, like get out of the way.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: He he's running down there. He's full of energy.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: And Paul Maurice was talking this morning and said, yeah,
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Bardak doesn't talk too much. We have some guys you
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: get talk and then well we have another guy that
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: we brought them board. We really don't need anyone who
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: has to talk. He's friend Brad marks yet on average,
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: so he's going and Brad Marsham came in here.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: And thought, maybe I'll may be playing with Barkok some
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: of the pop start. He's not online one. He's not
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: on mine too. He's online three with Lindel lovest a
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: line and he doesn't care.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: He talks to those guys and said, you guys are
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: good offensively, he's one of the best games defensive.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Winger of all time.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: But he's get well, you get the poplast make some
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: darn plays, let's get after it. And he's had that
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: trickle down effect. It's infectious what he's been able to
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: bring to the.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Room as a special group.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: The fans are just making their way inside the building.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: It's been rocking here in South Florida. How have you
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: seen the game of hockey grow? You mentioned this incredible
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: run that they're on. We're soaking it up in these fans,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: I'm sure are soaking up this experience as well.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Ninety three, when I got down here, you told me
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: this was possible. We had We had one small little
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: practice rink.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: I do wanted to play programs five to nine year
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: old kids from Kendall all the ways West Palm, over
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: a dozen ranks.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: It's stunning the growth.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: The fan base and everyone that we got and you
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: got on board.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: You have to be successful down here.
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: We were in the early nineties, got off to a
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: good start and they have just reset the bar here
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: at this moment, and it's there's a place where hockey
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: down here and we found it with this team.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you talk about soaking in the moment and for
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: these fans as well, like where you never really thought
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: there'd be a team like this that would come around,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: and what the Panthers have done, I found to match
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that with the community outreach. I mean, it's something so special.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, well, all the players get back, even like even
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: like Barca.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: That's what makes like some of our players so special,
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: like bark Off with the Joe DiMaggio's children Hospital.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: He would never tell you about it, like he'll never
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: see it, but he doesn't, right.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Yes, And there's a lot of people that give back
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: into our room, into charities, and.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of what goes on with our players is
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: what you don't see.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: But when people do the work right there like a
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: lot of people that put in work but don't are
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: never gonna tell you about it. We have a lot
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: of players like that. Our ownership has that commitment. We're
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: gonna get out in the community. We're gonna make sure
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: that we're out there and we're not gonna make loud
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: noises around it. We just want our presence and we
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: want to we want to do it. I guess that's
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: the biggest way to stay it. We want to be
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: part of it. We want to be in trench with
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: our friends, our family to make sure that everyone feels.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Part of this panther group.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we get bil Zo.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: On our last show, you was talking about his panthers
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: on the Prowl and initiates to get back to the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: community of the American Cancer Society.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Are a Game three a dominant victory for the Panthers?
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: What do we think game for? What do you think
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: this performance is gonna look like?
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Well, the VIC stars are gonna be rolling mcdave dry Sally.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: You know, put off the score sheet.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like twenty nine.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: And ninety seven have been held off the score sheet
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: fifteen times together, and Conor mcgavid has thirty five points
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: in the.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Fifteen games they've played when they've been held high. So
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be coming that you throw last games out.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: Momentum stops at last game starts at put drop tonight, Yeah,
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: and one shift or another it could go the different ways.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: So the Panthers are gonna be have to be on
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: their toes.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you playing in this kind of series and
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: then you get the two days off, then you play tonight,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and now you play one day turnaround? How is that
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: mentally for you, especially for a Florida Panthers team that
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: had all the momenta after gave three.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to be able to adjust at this
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: time of year. Whatever it is. There's no excuses, the refs, whatever, anything.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: You have to control what you can control, and you
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: have to use that. If you see anything else it
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: was two days, that's an excuse. I think that's kind of.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: Where you as an athlete or as a person, you
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: can't have any sort of excuses for the way you
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: go out play. You have to take full responsibility, full ownership,
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: and stay in the moment.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: And this Panther team.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: Knows it wasn't two to one last year. It was
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: three to nothing and they came back. So you win
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: a game six to one, they understand. Yeah, six to
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: one to those guys in a two to one deficit
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: means he doesn't mean too much.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: I like that momentum. We'll start at Huck dropping. Who
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: will take it? Bill Lindsay, thank you so much for
• 34:10

• 35:13
  Speaker 2: want to see him another year. He's gonna get a
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: little bit stronger and coming to next year. It's crazy
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: that he's another year of junior. But is he? Is
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: he talking about going to university? Is that what i'd heard?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I just know he's a year away from being elgile raft.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that, is the rumor?
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, thank you. I just saw that. I didn't
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: want to speak out of my ass so I wanted
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: to ask.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: He is obviously HL players are now eligible to go play.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: That is the rumor, which which Bob Bender would flip
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: if that happened.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: He's a you want to hear this guy, Bob Bender middle,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Bob Bender, middle seat on West jed on the way there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: But Bob, Bob's a pretty big guy to that can.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But Bob Bender, No, Bob's tiny. Bob. Yeah, Bobby, he's
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: a little guy.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Shocking maybe just because his presence. I pictured like a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: booming Bob Bender.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I know his voice.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I pictured Bob Bender like Bob Booger.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Know his voice, know his voice. He's still taller than you,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: ad man, but his he's got that short sign. Everybody's tall. No,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: but Bob on the middle seat, but he got the one,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: you know, he got the leg up. We got off
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: the plane and I was like, how was it, Bob.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, tough one, middle seat And I was like, oh,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: where are you saying? He's like JW married. I'm like, ye,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: must must be nice, just just one over the top
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: on me. But yeah, McKenna Penn State. Potentially that would
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: be wild and for one year, I mean it's kind
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: of good because you know he's the odds on number one.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: He's gonna say, I'm gonna go play less games. I'm
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: gonna go get in the training methodology of of the
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: NHL and really work on building muscle. You know, I'm
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: not gonna lose my game. So he's gonna go get
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: competitive hockey but not have the stress of playing in junior.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: So I kind of dig the move if i'm him,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: and I think it's a smart play as well. So
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I'll see if he does it and stays in junior,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: but I wouldn't be surprised if he went to university.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: We'll find out.

  Speaker 1: Trump and car But you're telling me we can't get
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: a hockey team in Quebec City. We can't get Laculise
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: going again, we can't get Michelle. But I'm going to
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: see Atlanta for a third time.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Pass we put it in the burbs, baby, with all
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: of them white folk in the burbs with all that
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: cash money, they're gonna come out, mom and pop. Now
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: it's uh, it's I you know, I'm such hard because
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: you want Quebec so bad and you want Canadian teams.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: And I understand they're doing a very you know, three
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: hundred acres. They're trying to do what the Atlanta Braves did.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: They're going out kind of in the suburbs. Yeah, a
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: very very you know, a very wealthy community in that
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: area and people that Yeah, a lot of private schools,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of families there. And I think
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: they're expecting to have the same success the Braves have had.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: When everybody you talked to that you know, I've seen,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: have been to that stadium, watched the Brave and seeing
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: them transition there is like it's a slam dunk. So
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: I think they're trying to recreate the same thing. I'm
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: already looking at real estate in South Forsyth, trying to
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: buy some rental properties. Nice. See what we can't find?
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe me and you we put a little unscripted studio
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: there wouldn't don't you know? Ye know, me, you and
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: the Braves.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: All Star Game, MB All Star Game this year, Atlanta, we.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Can go, let's go. What's what's what would you name
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta team coming back? Well, this is what I'm saying.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I would say Atlanta tired, because quite frankly, I'm tired
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: of this gonna be the third time.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: So Atlanta. That was good. That's right, that was good.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Atlanta tired. No bones about that, Joe Bone.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Last one for you, the first pig trail of the summer.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Chris Crider, longtime Rangers favorite, going to Anaheim Ducks. Now
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: you predicted about Crider specifically, but you said watching Random,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: they're gonna start making suis. You don't hire a Q,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you don't have ver Beacon there, you know. Okay, Also,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna start making us. I think you said Zegras
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: get traded. B Hey, Crider, that's big name. Fourth rail
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: pick in twenty twenty five, along with Quieter going to Anaheim,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: four prospect carry Terrence and around this summer, thirty four
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: year old Crider third all time Rangers franchise history three
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and twenty six goals. He's seventh all time with eight
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: or eighty three games fifty two goals. Felt like a
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: lifetime ago now twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: He was a disappointment this past year, two years left
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: of his contract six point five million dollars per season
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: for the Rangers, essentially a salary dump. You take a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: flyer on this kid, and for the Ducks. You go, wait, Crider,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: let's go. The Ducks are making a push.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: All hail demerstdamis yes, demers Tradamis. He's back again hitting
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: it out of the park. Pat Verbeek will not be idle.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: He will not allow the Honda Center to be sold
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: thirty percent capacity. He will fill that barn with an
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: exciting team. People say that Chris Krider is over the hill, passed.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I mean I think he gets on the beach toes
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: in the sand, detoxifying the body. He will have forty again,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I could score thirty four. He's gonna have no pressure.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: There no pressure. A different team, a young, upstar team.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Joel Quinville at the Helm, who is going to really
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: provide a role for him, and all things I heard
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: when we talked to Elliott Friedman. Was the reason that
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Chris Krader accepted this was because he had a very
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: good conversation with Joel Quinnville, and Joel Quenville said, you
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: will have a role. Here's what your role will be.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Do you like it or you know or you don't,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: And it's up to you if you would like to
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: come and join this team. And he was very excited
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: that whatever role that Quinville had told him he will have,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you know, excited him enough to accept and kind of
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: facilitate this trade, so to speak. And I think it's great.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: You know, they got kil Orn there, they got him,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: they got Goudas, they got True, but they got a
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: lot of veterans there with some size to kind of
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: insulate these young, talented young players, these skilled Leo Carlson's
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Mason McTavish is who I'm interested to see. You know,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: he's an RFA. I'm interested to see the old offer
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: sheet coming in for this old fella. But I think
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: they're gonna lock him up. You got the Zegresses on
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: the back, and you got Jackson the comb There's a
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: lot to like from his team. They got two fens,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: really good solid goalies in dos Staal and John Gibson.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: They got a lot to like and a good coach
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: at the helm. So Pat Verbeek has been not shy
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: to say that they're taking swings. They are trying to
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: contend for a playoff spot, and that Pacific Division just
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: got a little bit more tight up there, because now
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have Anaheim, You're gonna have la You're gonna
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: most likely have Vegas, uh with with a possible shake up,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have Edmonton. Uh. It's gonna be very interesting there.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: You're you're hoping Calgary takes another step forward, so the
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Pacific might turn into the Central. Who knows, who knows?
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows, but Joe Bone to be retirement.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Joe Bones really locked in the Ducks,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: but he's a verbeque kind of player. He's hard nosed.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how that.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Team he's hard boned.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, prediction Oilers win Game five, Panthers win Game six,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Oilers winning seven.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: What do you got?
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I have to stick with what I said. I said
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: whoever won Game four would win the series because that
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: was the pivotal game. In Game four, I think Edmonton
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: wins in six.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: You think they're gonna win three straight games against the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Florida Panthers.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: They did it last year.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they lost in Game seven.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: They won, They won three straight. This is one. They
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: just gotta win three. They don't gotta win four straight.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: They gotta win three straight. You God, let me say, hey,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: can I fucking explain my thought processes on this? You
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: know this unscripted Vicin Demurz if you're fair enough and Tal,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: it's Vicin Demurz and Tal. You first me second, tall third,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: so let me finish, Let me have the stage, please,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: all right? You got me here on seventeen flights. I'm
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: gonna get my fucking thoughts out.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Are you in the marry Ut or not?
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Come on, I'm in the Varscalona Hotel. I don't even
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: know what it is on hey, I said, any hotel
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: that has the street name like farscoing on white like,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get a free room here anytime soon.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: So this place that god damn dump. I hope it
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't go seven because they're not gonna allow me in
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: the building, I know. But it's nice. The renovations are
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: actually nice. Farscona and percent twenty seven. Nice nice restaurant
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: in here. But why I think so is the turnaround
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: is so important. They got that win has been They've
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: they've played an extra game if you consider the overtimes,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: they've already played five games. There's fatigue coming somewhere. I think.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: I just think that this building is gonna carry this team,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna go back to Florida and they're not
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: gonna want to come back with the nerves of Game seven.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: And I just think they're gonna somehow weasel this out
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: and we're all gonna be like how the next year,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: we like, how the fuck did Edmonton win that series?
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: But they're gonna do it because Connor has not had
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: a Connor game yet correct in these finals, he had one.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: He had some flashes in game one. He's not at
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: a full sixty Connor McDavid game. He's due, so he's there.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Tell the floor is yours, and I'm just gonna add
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: as well, here I'll just kick go. Tell Is Cherick?
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Is it safe? Can I talk?
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah? You're safe? Can I finish?
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: No?
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: This was something I wanted to ask about FEU, specifically JD,
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: because the whole issue in us keep making a time too.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I thought we're almost done ahead now we're on the
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: while neither of you.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Can chime in.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: But just because JD's traveling with the series, the whole
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: hellish thing we had to go through with trying to
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: make time to record this episode was that instead of
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: two days between games four and five, it's only one.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: So you're traveling from southern Florida to Edmonton and you
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: just have the one day between games. Does that help
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: Edmonton kind of retain the momentum they got from Game four.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: Does it just piss everyone off because they don't get
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: the extra day? I mean, what is the role of
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: First of all, why is there only one day off
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: between games? I don't even know why that's the case?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Saturday night? Come on, who does that?
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: They wanted to have the Saturday night game exactly, they
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: wanted a Saturday night game.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: People are drunk already. Yeah they've started drinking already.
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: But but you know, West Edmonton Mall, I'm sure is
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: just an absolute horror show right now. But so what
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: what do you how do you think that plays into
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: Game five in terms of just the one day between games.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I can tell you right now, my body feels like
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: absolute shit after those flights, Like I am in a
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: bad place and I didn't play a game before, and
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna You're gonna look to the guys
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: that have played less in this series to kind of
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: step up. You know, I look at like a Jeff Skinner.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: I thought Jeff Skinner at his best game of the
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: season in Game four in Florida. And that's because you
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: really think about it, He's the freshest guy out there,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: so like where he was like typically the slowest guy
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: in the ice are like a step slow. He's kind
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: of a step faster than everybody. And he's still got
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: that strength because he's you know, working out every day
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and skating every day. He's not you know, incurring the
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: fatigue of playing constant games and being hit and being
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: beaten on. He's like got that freshness pod coles into.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: So I feel like there's you know, they haven't played
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: enough games, and I just feel like there's gonna be
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: a moment where Jeff Skinner scores a goal. You're gonna
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: hear it to for me today. But I just there's
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: just something about one day in between and Rogers' Place
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: lifting this team up. It's gonna you know, it's gonna
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: empower the home team more than the away team. And
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: if they get off to a hot start and build
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: a quick lead, it's gonna be tough. Man Like, this
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: has been a hard series and it's been very long,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: so I always lean on the home team. Now, this
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: is why you got homeice advantage, and it was specifically
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: for Game five, So that's why I was like, you know,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: and the way Florida lost Game four of like giving
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: up the lead then tying you with nineteen seconds and
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: then losing after you hit the crossbar and etch and
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: blocked an empty net like you had all those things happened.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: You were you were just like always at the the
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: you know, the top of your what I say, your
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: nervous system is peaking because you're so excited and then
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: you're let down, so excited let down, and I don't
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: know what you know. I said, what's gonna break first
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: for this in this series is the fact that Edmonton
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: is trailed. The two series prior to this, they only
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: trailed ninety six minutes. They've trailed over one hundred and
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: fifty minutes in this series. So they're constantly chasing, constantly chasing.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: But the flip side of that, I look at Florida
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: just can't put them away, And I don't know what
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: breaks first that resolve from Edmonton in that resiliency or
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: like Florida finally being like, fuck, we can't get rid
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: of these guys, like dating back to last year, like
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: they're just they're always coming, They're always coming, They're always coming.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: And then finally it's gonna come to a head. And
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I think it comes to a head in Game five
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: and they finally Edmonton pulls away and they exercise the
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Dems Joe Bone style.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Well, let's hope so, because I mean, it's been unbelievable,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that everyone knows Canada has not won the
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Cups THISCE ninety three. But the Florida Panthers do not
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: lose back to back games. If you have to do
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: this playoffs, maybe that'll change.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: WHOA, that's a good Saturday and know that.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do not lose back to back games. To
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: your pointment, how much hockey's been played, Maurice's team has
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: played three hundred and twelve regular season and playoff games
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: since he took over. Oilers have played three h three
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: and amazingly three overtime games so far. The record's actually
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: the nineteen fifty one. Still, like A found there was
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: five overtime games. So I don't know if we're gonna
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: quite get history. But it's been remarkable to see great
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: stuff from JD, especially because of the fact he's exhausted.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: He's in a shitty hotel, Bob Benner's The Marriott in Scottsdale.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to watch with the NBA Finals. I went great.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. On scripted. Go ahead, I loved your
• 50:37

• 50:50

• 50:54

  Speaker 2: You're from Edmonton.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: I know you're not trure, but your sister Leanne's like
