  SPEAKER_00: I know there's a lot of different hockey shows out there, but hey, I think there's room for one more, and uh send them biscuit breakdown.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, without further ado, let's get into the fresh out the oven segment.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Have three topics to talk about here today.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: As this is now day four at time of recording of the NHL playoffs, they started on Saturday with the Ottawa Senators facing off against the Carolina Hurricanes, and right at the initial puck drop, we have Brady Kachuk and Jordan Stahl just dropping the gloves right off the opening face-off and beating the crap out of each other.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: You love to see it, captain versus captain.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: The building was going nuts.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um initially Brady Kachuk landed a few punches and seemed to be winning the fight, and then Jordan Stahl got in a few, and then he ended up taking them down, and the building was just going crazy.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Both teams were loving it.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: The fans at home, I'm sure, were loving it.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not even a fan of these two teams, but I was enjoying it.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, you think these two teams want it?
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody wants it in the playoffs.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Everything ramps up the speed, the skill, the intensity, the animosity, the drama.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's just such good action.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And if you um aren't into hockey, you gotta start watching because you will surely enjoy it.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: You can hop on any team's bandwagon or root for the uh closest team to wherever you live, and I guarantee that you're gonna get back to me and say, Wow, I have been missing out this whole time.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: I am now in love with such and such team, whatever team you decide.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: And so that fight started the game off with quite a bang, and then the bodies continued to fly all game.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: The game ended with 96 official hits on the score sheet between the two teams, with Carolina having the edge there, but everyone out there had to have their head on a swivel.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: The Hurricanes ended up winning that game by putting on a defensive clinic, and they won that game 2-0 to take a 1-0 series lead.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Frustrating the Ottawa Senators that they couldn't even get on the scoreboard.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, next up in our fresh out the oven segment is the Buffalo Sabres fans.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I just got to mention them once again.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: I know I talked about them recently on the show, but man oh man, these people are passionate.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: These people love beer, they love partying, and they love their sports teams, the Sabres and the Bills.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: These poor fans, they just need they need a winning team, they need some success, they deserve to have the ultimate victory, so maybe the Sabres can pull that out for them this year and win the Stanley Cup.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: But before game one even happened we have videos coming out of fans skating around on rollerblades in the Buffalo area, somewhere near the stadium, I'm assuming, and they are basically having a business casual riot in the streets.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Let me say it again, it was before game one.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't even play yet.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: The fans are riled up, they're going crazy.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: They made some sort of circle, they had a UFC style dummy that was wearing a Bruins jersey, one guy skates over, tackles it to the ground, jams its face in the ground, he's punching it, everyone's going nuts, and there's not a sober person there, I'm sure.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: It was insane.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: And you just love to see the passion out of these people.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: There were also videos on social media of people chugging plastic sabers that were filled with beer and then ripping their shirts off and storming into Lake Erie's forty degree water in order to whip themselves up into a frenzy.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: This was before game one.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, what are these fans gonna do if they win the first round against the Boston Bruins?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine if they win the Stanley Cup, they're gonna need a new city.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: They are gonna burn it down in celebration.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: And they probably won't even feel bad.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: They won't even be sad.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: They'll be so happy that they have the Stanley Cup that they won't even care that their city is literal rubble.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: And so after all that pregame madness, the game itself was pretty boring up until midway through the third period when Boston finally made it 2-0, and then you could sense everyone in the crowd was getting super anxious.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: There was even comments that the fans were booing, and everyone was getting uptight, but then with seven and a half minutes remaining in the third period, Tage Thompson, their best goal scorer, gets them on the board, makes it two to one.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Then a few minutes later, he scores again, and the roof was about to blow off of the place.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: Then with only three minutes and change left, Matias Samuelson, their defenseman, buries a goal.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: They take a three to two lead.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: The place is going nuts.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone is loving it.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Boston is shell-shocked, they don't know what is happening.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: They just had a lead four minutes ago, now they're losing three to two, and then Buffalo finishes it up with an empty netter, they win game one, four-two, and the entire city of Buffalo is rejoicing.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: So that was definitely fun to watch.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: And our third topic in the Fresh Out the Oven segment is the Markstone towels that the Vegas Golden Knights put on the seats for the fans during game one.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: So basically, sometimes um teams will put a rally towel on everyone's seat for the game.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Basically, it's like a little hand towel with either a slogan on it or some sort of design, and the fans can wave the towels during the game, really get the crowd pumped up and things like that.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: So it's something fun.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: But this towel, this ugly, ugly towel, they chose to put their captain's basically portrait on the towel, and for me it was just a bit too much.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um I was saw that and I was like, ew, this is no good.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: This is too much.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is this is uh we don't need his ugly mug on this towel.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: I was definitely not a fan.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um in my opinion, rally towels should be either something clever or simple, a simple design, the logo, you know, the team's slogan, something like that.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: We don't need Mark Stone's big honker taking up half of the towel.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: Meanwhile, what happens if Mark Stone gets traded in the offseason?
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: We all know that Vegas is cutthroat with the way that they manage their roster, so he could be shipped out despite the fact that he's a good player for them and their captain, but you never know.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: And then all of a sudden the towel is completely meaningless.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I did a little bit of brainstorming and I came up with three ideas that would be better for the rally towel other than Markstone's portrait.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: And they are a picture of hockey pucks that are stacked up like poker chips.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: I think that would be kind of cool actually.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um I don't know, golden knights with ice skates on and sticks to keep it simple.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: How about the design of a stripper that's pole dancing except the pole is the Stanley Cup?
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: What about that?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Or how about a picture of a knight that's shaving a woolly mammoth?
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's gotta be one of the most embarrassing things that can happen to a mammoth.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: They pride themselves on being woolly.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: You take that away, and what's left?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing but a tall, round, bald, girthy being.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: That ought to get the crowd pumped up if you ask me.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: And as for game one between the mammoth and the golden knights, it was an absolute movie, as the college kids these days say.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: The mammoth were looking ready for the moment, they were looking fast, and they got out to a lead two to one at one point, but then the knights came storming back, and the tensions started to rise.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Sean Dersey of the Utah Mammoth ended up headbutting one of the Golden Knights during one of the scrums, and then he turns to the ref and was like you could read his lips, he was like, Oh, come on, as if to say that wasn't a headbutt.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: But dude, like we saw you do it, the whole arena saw you do it.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like, how are you trying to play it off that you didn't headbutt one of your opponents?
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: It was just wild stuff.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: I have never seen another player headbutt someone, uh, so that was a first, but it was entertaining nonetheless, and after the game he was fined five thousand dollars, which is the maximum amount that a player can be fined for conduct on the ice, which I also think is funny because five thousand dollars is like ten cents to most of these players who are making millions of dollars per year.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um then we had uh Nick Dowd, who was on the Golden Knights, and he is bleeding, he's got blood on his jersey, the game is over, and he is in a verbal jawing match with Logan Cooley of the Mammoth, and you can read his lips, he says, I'm coming for you, I'm gonna fucking kill you.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean, how are you not watching the Stanley Cup playoffs?
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: If if you are listening to this right now and you are a new hockey fan, or you've never seen a hockey game, you're not really that interested, well, tell you what, you're probably gonna be interested.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: You got games every night that are just balls to the wall, intense, a lot of shit going on.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Each game the players hate each other more, there's more scrums, there's more fights, there's more chaos, and it's just amazing to watch, really entertaining.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: So, like I said earlier, give it a shot, choose a team, jump on their bandwagon.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: If you're not sure who to root for, I suggest rooting for the Buffalo Sabres.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: They've never won the Stanley Cup.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: Their true fans are obsessed with hockey, and they deserve to have this championship, but we'll see if they can earn it.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, let's change it up here and move into our buttery biscuits of the week, the top three goals so far of the playoffs after three nights of action.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: So in the number three spot, we are going to have um Jason Dickinson of the Edmonton Oilers, who scored last night at time of recording in game one against the Anaheim Ducks on a beautiful breakaway goal.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_00: He deked Lucas de Stall out of his pants and easily stuffed it into the net.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: You love to see a breakaway goal.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't seen any breakaway goals recently, go refresh your memory and check out his awesome breakaway deke to help the Oilers to a 4-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, in the number two spot, we have Troy Terry of the Anaheim Ducks, who scored last night at time of recording, with a power play goal that was ripped up high over Connor Ingram's shoulder.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: He only saw a blur and heard a whip past his ear as that shot was fired into the net.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: We love a top cheddar biscuit over here at Biscuit Breakdown, and Troy Terry did exactly that.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: And in the number one spot for best goal of the playoffs so far after the first three nights is Porter Martone of the Philadelphia Flyers.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: He is a 19-year-old rookie playing like a true veteran out there, and in game one the other night against the Pittsburgh Penguins, he came down on the right wing against a defender, then he curls back up towards the face-off circle, and he just rifles an absolute snipe over Stuart Skinner's shoulder.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: It was an absolute thing of beauty, a total top cheddar biscuit.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um it was in and out of the net, super quick, really impressive, amazing goal, and so far it is the goal of the playoffs, in my opinion.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: If you um disagree or agree, I'd love to hear from you.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: Biscuit breakdown on Instagram or Biscuit Breakdown without the O on Twitter or Biscuit Breakdown Pod at gmail.com.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: Feel free to make your case for what you think are the buttery biscuits of the week.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: And before we move on, I do have an honorable mention for Casperi Kapanen of the Edmonton Oilers, who scored last night by shooting the puck and then batting his own rebound out of the air after it hit off the goalie.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: He bats it down past the goalie, and then he shoots it into the empty net, and it was a true individual effort, really impressive.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: The hand eye coordination is astounding of these NHL athletes, and that is why they have reached the elite level, the highest level that there is, because they are fast, they are strong, they are smart, they are disciplined, and their hand-eye coordination is truly remarkable.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, it's now time to move into the doggy bag prediction segment.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: So at the time of this recording, here are where each of the series stands.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: We have the Carolina Hurricanes leading the Ottawa Senators two games to none.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: We have the Flyers, who are surprisingly and shockingly ahead two games to none on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: The Montreal Canadiens lead the Tampa Bay Lightning one game to zero.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Buffalo leads Boston one game to zero.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: Those two series are playing right now as I record.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Then in the West, we've got the Minnesota and Dallas series tied at one game apiece.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: The Edmonton Oilers are up one game to zero against the Anaheim Ducks.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: We have the Colorado Avalanche leading the Kings one game to zero, and the Vegas Golden Knights are up one to zero in their series against the Utah Mammoth.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_00: And later on tonight, the Colorado Avalanche will take on the Kings in game two, as well as the Vegas Golden Knights will renew their pleasantries with the Utah Mammoth.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm now going to predict where I think each series will stand after Game Four has been played.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: So starting in the east, we have the Carolina Hurricanes who are already up two games to none on the Ottawa Senators.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: They are heading back to Ottawa, but I think the Hurricanes are still too good, and I think they will have a three games to one lead when Game Four is finished.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_00: Going to the Buffalo versus the Boston Bruins series, I think that series will be tied two to two after four games because both teams are pretty evenly matched.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: The games have been very intense so far, and Boston will not back down without a fight.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: Buffalo is still learning how to win in the playoffs, so I think after Game 4 it'll be tied two games apiece.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: Moving on in the East, I think the Philadelphia Flyers, the upstart, surprising Flyers, will have a three games to one lead on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: The reason I say that is because they already have won two games and they're now heading home back to Philadelphia.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think they get at least one game at home, which would give them a three games to one lead in the Pennsylvania State Rivalry.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: And lastly, in the East, the Montreal Canadians and the Tampa Bay Lightning, that series is currently 1-0 Montreal at time of recording.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: They are one to one right now in the second period of Game 2.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: After Game 4, I am going to predict that it's going to be tied two games to two.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: Both these teams are really good, and they both know how to win.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: They both know what is at stake, so I think they will get to a 2-2 tie after game four.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_00: Moving out west, we have the Avalanche against the Kings.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: After game four, I believe the Avalanche will be in the lead.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Three games to one.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think they get the game tonight in Colorado to get to a two-zero lead.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Then they head out to LA.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_00: They hit the beach, they relax a little bit, maybe they fuck around and they fumble game three, and then they end up refocusing and win game four and head back to Colorado with a three-one series lead.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: As far as the Vegas Golden Knights and the Utah Mammoth after Game Four, I believe Vegas will have a three games to one lead because they're playing really good and literally haven't lost in regulation since hiring John Tortarella as their coach with only eight games left in the season, which was a bananas move, but it's obviously worked out so far.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: So I think they're going to be up three games to one.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: The other series in the West, I'm going to say that the Edmonton Oilers will be up three games to one because they have too much skill for the Anaheim Ducks to keep up with.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: They have too much speed.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: And Connor McDavid, despite not even getting a point in game one, which was shocking, they still won four-three.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: So you're not going to keep him off the score sheet much.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: I expect him to put up two points at least in game two.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: He will come alive.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: And they got Dry Sidle back, so they are going to be firing on all cylinders soon.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: I expect them to take a three-to-one lead.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: Lastly, in the West, the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars, two big heavy teams.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: They hate each other already.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: They've been battling each other all year in the same division.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think after game four they will have a 2-2 tie heading back to Dallas for game five, a pivotal game five.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: And as I was just finishing that doggy bag prediction segment, the goalie for the Buffalo Sabres, Uko Pekka Lukinen, just completely burnt the biscuit.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: Morgan Geeky of the Boston Bruins did a backhanded dump from center ice, and Uko Pekka Lukinin went to catch it and it bounced over his glove into the net for a goal.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean talk about taking a backhanded dump in your pants, Uko.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: I hope this does not come back to bite them and they lose the game tonight and then they lose the series because that would be something of the nature of why people think this team might be cursed.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: Now Boston just scored again as I'm recording this.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's 3-0.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: My oh my, the Buffalo bandwagon's wheels are falling off.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: We will see if they can mount a miraculous comeback in this one.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like I've been saying all episode folks, you gotta tune into the NHL playoffs.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: This shit is electric.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: And that is gonna do it for this episode.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: We would love to hear from you.
