  Speaker 1: your fist in unions because you were actually there and
• 1:37

  Speaker 1: there for both games, right, No, you were.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: No, I was just there for watching. I was there
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: in d C. I trained to d C. I took
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a train to d C and then we were at
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the rink. We did a little show from the concourse,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: not the concourse, like just in front of the front door.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, no, no, the outside we were outside
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: with the Yeah, we were outside with the crowd, with
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the masses, with the absolute trash in d C.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But I like it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: No, the the energy was like a playoff game. It was.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It was insane. And here's the thing. We finished the show,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: so we trained and went right into the show, so
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we had no time really to kind of do anything.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And we're kind of sitting there and we're like, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the game, there's gonna be a long ceremony, Like let's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: go have a by teat and like, you know, if
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: he scores one, we'll go run in. He's like, let's
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: have a by teat, right, So we start walking down
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the street and we're like, ah, where do we go eat?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, all hears man and we're like, shit,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we better get in there. We're like he's gonna do it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: We're like, there's no way he's going to score a
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: night A in Chicago. And all week I was saying, yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: he's playing a young Chicago team. He has some chance.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: He scores. Like the first five minutes, we ran inside
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: watched the whole game after that, and I mean, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: jumped into I was telling tal quick revision. I jumped
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: into Boiler's arms. I was so excited. It was like
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I felt like a kid. It took me back to
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: being a kid cheering on you know, your your hometown team.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So but talk to me a little bit about Winnipeg,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: because we already did this whole show.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Sure, fourth in the final trip to Winnipeg.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Talk about about Winnipeg.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Fourth and final trip, I mean, mercifully, we're done with
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We're done with the peg here. Okay, say uncle uncle
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Gee like you, you're the kind of guy you're upbeating
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: no matter where you are. But even you'd be like
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus Winnipeg again. I gotta be honest with you. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was so excited for the game. Blues had won twelve
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: straight games. You know, I love Jim Montgomery. Monty who,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, the fourth line for the Blues. They're
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: calling him WTF, what the fuck? Or they're calling them
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that I said, is that a great line?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Right? Crazy facts at torpe Chenco and Nathan Walker excellent.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Well do they're a little buzzsaw line too. They just
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: run around with that Walkers guy. We talked about it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You got a little pissing them, pissed jugs, the team
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of pissed jugs.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm fired. Okay, the Blues have won twelve straight games.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Now they're taking on Jets and help. But first, peride,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it's awful, like eight combined shots on goal and this
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is garbage, and they go well some does it happen?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Slow starts.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Ultimately the Jets suffocate them for the win. And I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: gotta say, Hellibuck, I know we've talked a lot about
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Heart Trophy conversation. You've been mentioning coucher off under
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: appreciate if HELLI Buck pulls us off and he's on
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the verge right now of being number one and wins
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: goals against say perc engine shutouts, maybe the first of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: those four categories since the great Bob Froze back in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: eighty five eighty six for the Flowers. If he gets
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that done, it's ballgame. Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I honestly, we looked at the odds and if he's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: first in every category, it's hard to deny him. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: he's been wired to wire. Like we haven't talked to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: him because he's in Winnipeg in a smaller market. He
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: hasn't had a dip all season. This team hasn't had
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: a dip, So I'm like, have they been at their
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: ceiling all year? Or is this just does Scott ar'neil
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: have them in such a perfect position that they're gonna
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: do it and they're finally gonna get out of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: goddamn first round. Since twenty eighteen they get out of
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the first round. So if they hey, this is just
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: all lining up for even a bigger choke job if
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they do it. But hopefully you know Josh Morrissey, fan
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of the show, Yes, he texted me on the side
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and said he wants to come on, but they're dialing
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: in for playoffs, so they're ready to go.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So it's your larger points. So the Winnipeg just by
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the way, I looked at bet MGM. We said this
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to Kevin shovel day off the GM as we walked
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: him in. We go, Chevy, look at this the odds
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: right now to win the Western Conference. The Jets are fifth.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It goes like Avalie, it goes Stars, it goes Oilers,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: make no respect, and Chevy great lines like, well, I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: don't even know gamling, so hey, we're gonna pick. We're
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: always gonna punch up, but they're starting to build a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: little bit this buzz. Hey, Winnipeg, if as you said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they can overcome those past issues, maybe this is their
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: year with the Torontomy beliefs. I am stunned. I am
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: shocked how many people are now saying, if ever there
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: was a chance the Leafs were gonna do it, it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: this year with Craig Berubi. With this defense, I go
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: golden is not good enough? They go okay. Well, aside
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: from Bobroski and Bassilevski, where are the elite goalies in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the East, Like anyone's got a chance. If one Goali
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: gets hot, who knows. But this is the best chance
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the Leaves have had so to that end, you're gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: have the Ottawa centers now in the playoffs. Your Habs.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They're not just calling him Jason Nimers are calling him
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: no Stra Demerz because you called it two weeks ago.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: The Habs are gonna make the playoffs and they're gonna
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: do so. You said Ivetsk would get the record this year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He did so. So Habs are gonna be in center
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in flames. Unfortunately, not gonna be oilers in five Canadian
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: teams in. Are we finally gonna end the round since
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, no stra Demerz.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a yes, emphatic yes. Ah I this there
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is has not been a better time than this year.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Dare I say in the past we're at thirty years,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: will be thirty one? The Canadian team, I think it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: thirty two. This is the year that and the best
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: chance that we have five teams. I mean, you know
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the way Ottawa's playing right now, defensively, I know they
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: dropped their last game, but you know it's kind of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: they're in now and they made the playoffs, so I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: interested to see how they They're missing Brady Kuchuk to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Canadians get you know, Canadians are on a heater. They're
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: playing so great. Sam montinbo is playing incredible. That top
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: line of Slavkowski, Suzuki, cole Koff, I mean, Nick Suzuki,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you can't say enough about what he's done since four Nations.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And then Lane Hudson, who's having a career year first
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: year to the season.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Now, so Hatson's gonna get the Calder.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's locked up for the call. There's no chance.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's breaking NHL records like records of
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: all time assist by defenseman. He's one off. I think
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: who's he missing? He's second on the all time list,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and he's won away from getting it. Tell you you correct.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I believe he got my doppel game. I think he
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: tied cell record for points.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's points by defenseman, but assist all time, he's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: he's number two, So tal will get that number.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: To us by Larry Murphy.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That's incredible, insane. He's what he's and I watched, I've watched,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and I've really dialed in him and the offensive zone.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: He's Quinn Hughes esque. Uh, and he's a lot better
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: defensively than people think. So he's on my list. And
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you look down in the West. You got Winnipeg. I mean,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there's a year for Winnipeg to win. This is the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: team to do it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And then you've got Edmonton, who who knows when they
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: get healthy and what they can do. I think Edmonton will.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: They'll only meet Winnipeg in the conference finals. So those
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: two teams in the West can clear out the two
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Canadian teams And imagine Winnipeg versus Edmonton and the conference
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: A nightmare for Turner in ESPN, but it's.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Gary will be like.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: But McDavid and drysl versus Hallibug, Shifley Connor. Yeah, it'd
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be great hockey.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And then and then out east it's you know, you
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: look at Montreal and again they're close to Ottawa. Montreal.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Ottawa has the capabilities to upset Washington because the thing
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: with Washington, as we talked about it and I've now
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: watched in the past week or so, and maybe it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: just because they were trying to get Ovechkin the record,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: but they have not been playing good hockey at all.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: The goaltending has been suffering. They're giving up way too
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: many chances. They've been really soft on the d side
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of the puck. Alexi Protus gets injured two games ago.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot that I don't like in that team.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if they've just been clicking at
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: such a high level because they're playing for Alex Ovechkin
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and also the Ovechkin effect. Novechkin last year in the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: playoffs kind of had you know, he went on the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: scoring tear, ended up with thirty thirty one, kind of
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: disappeared in the playoffs. Now is he gonna do it
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: again they go into the playoffs. What is he really
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: playing for? He's won a cup, he's got the all
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: time goals record. It's going to be on him to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: self motivate to keep playing for the guys. So I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a little unsure at how if the gas pedals all
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the way down, they got their foot on the gas
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and they're going still, and you're playing a team like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the Canadians at this Bell Center. Man, oh my god,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be there.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Darryl Demrz right now is losing his money.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Oh he's losing his mind right now. He's he He
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: called me today. We got to get tickets. Get me tickets.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: He goes call Christian Devoak, I need tickets. I'm like,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they're not in yet. Dead settle down.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, fans, if the Habs make
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, we all believe they will, Daryl de Merz
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: will be a guest as much as he wants. He'll
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: come on for a Habs minute.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: We do sixty.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: We're doing Canadians in sixty. Let's go.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: He's he's great, and I mean listen, Habs are also
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: getting to put a ball on this this is the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: year for the Canadians. But the Habs they're also getting
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Ivan Demodov. Oh yeah, there we go and and talk
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to me. I'm gonna I'm gonna segue into this.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: After my rant, I've in Demoedoff and I've gotten inside
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: sources from the Kremlin. Inside the Kremlin, I got it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: For those For those who think you're being hyperbolic, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: did play in the kh play in Russia and I
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: have a lot in side.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Source is still there. I'm not a Russian spy, so
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: don't say anything like that. But I have guys that
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: are playing in the KHL Wow that I texted and
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I was like hey, I was like, give me some
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: down low on Demodoff, Like, I know he's his talent,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: what do you think? And the things I got is
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: he's better than Mishkoff. What a better skater, wow, more
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: skilled than Meetshkoff, bigger player as well. They also said
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that in that playoff round they just played, they lost
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, he was the best player. He is
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: NHL ready if he gets a little bit stronger, which
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: will happen next year, but I think he'll be playing
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: on so much adrenaline when he comes playing in the NHL,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: playing in that Bell Center, playing in that atmosphere, that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: he'll be just fine. But if he gets a little
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: bit stronger, this is going to be a dominant player.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So again, you look at Mitchkoff, he played in Sochi
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: was not a great team, so he was able to
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: really thrive. Demonows is the best player on one of
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the best teams in the KHL. That's hard to do
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: as a young guy. He just and then here's the
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: other things I said. He's he's the ice really well,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: skill set's going to be really good. Gets a touch stronger,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: it's going to help him out for sure. But these
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: are guys that have played and are in this league
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: that are like, this guy is the real deal. He's
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and all the talk I've heard out of Montreal like
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: he's going top six, He's getting top six minutes right away.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna take first line, but he'll be on
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: that second line. And I think he's gonna really be
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: He's going to really be an impact player early. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I think people are the real fans in Montreal that
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: have really been watching him are really excited. And I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: didn't quite know a bit and I watched him. I mean,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: this guy is just a highlight reel, but his skills
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and I just heard right now he's gonna come in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: and probably be better than the Meatchoff. And look what
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: meats him this year.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. Top three, top four as far as the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: call and.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: The Meachcoff fans and Philly will come for me. But yes,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you know that's that's the headline is He's got to
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: be better than Meechkoff and right now will probably be
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: better than him. So I'm gonna I'm gonna have to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: eat some craw if.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I'm I like it bolder.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: This is what I've heard, and I've heard it from
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: inside the kremlin, all right.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Before I kick it to tell, I do want to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: mention specifically the guards of Lane Hudson. The record for
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: assists by a rookie defenseman Larry Murphy with sixty in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eighty one. Lanne Hudson curly is fifty eight,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so to your point, could be a record breaker among
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: all defensemen. Tal as a boyhood failed a bunch of
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: all Canadians. Your level excitement right now about this team, man,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: adding demodop to JD's points one minute, theyre going to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs and bother of the habs in their
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: stort history have the never missed the plasts four straight seasons.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: They had to at least get the dances here. But
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: are they capable of upsetting the Caps?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Well? A little background first.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: I grew up a short walk from the old Forum
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: and actually was a little kid haggling with scalpers outside
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: of the building.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: If anyone remembers scalpers.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, I was, tell you with the mustache when you
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: were Yeah, yeah, at twelve, I had the mustache haggling.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Come on, I mean everyone everyone, I'm everyone I'm talking to.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: I still have plenty of friends and family Montreal that
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: the energy is absolutely off the charts with the Canadians
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: right now. Part of it is because they're they're the
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: guys leading the charge. Are their younger players. It's Hudson,
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: It's Cawfield, Suzuki slaf you know, these are the guys
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: who are supposed to be leading this team in the
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: playoffs two three years from now, not now. I think
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of confidence. I think it looks like
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be the Capitals. I don't see it happening.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: That team is so stacked, you never know. There's a
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: lot of references to twenty ten when it was the
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: same situation and Yaro Hallak introduced himself to the world.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: But it's exciting.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I think the management for that team said they wanted
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: to be in the mix and playing meaningful, meaningful games
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: in March and April.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: They did that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: So everything from that moment on, including the demigod.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: As I like to call him, Wow, is just a
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: little a little extra icing to a fun season.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Fun season for listen.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: They have that capability. I agree with talent and but
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna give them all they can handle.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: So Caps coming out of this round, they're gonna get
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: tested a lot more than people think. And that's going
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to be It's not gonna be like last year where
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: you know, Washington Limpton, they were the team that Limpton
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: had just got swept in four nos, in and out.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I think these two teams in the wildcard spot Otto
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: one Montreal are here to play. They want to win.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: They're here to play. They're not just gonna be satisfied
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: with being in the playoffs. They want to win.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Props for my buddy Jeff Gordon from NHL Network obviously
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: running the habs done a great job. And of course
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Marty seeing Louis the head coach, there are some concerns
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: year three for Marty the guy get in. They're gonna
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: get in. That's good news there. As Tal was saying
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that the front office wanted to be involved. They're involved
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in the playoff picks, probably gonna be in the playoffs.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: We go from a team right now flying on all
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: cylinders that Florida Panthers now strong performance against Stronomy Polieves
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: last night. But are the Panthers tanking? We don't typically
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: wait into conspiracy theories, but Jadie Simmers saying, hey, some
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: key player has been out of the lineup. Has him
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: been sliding down the standings. There's just four points up
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on the Sins, who hold that first wild card SUP
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on the East now to one lost the Wings on Sunday.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: They're already without Matthew Kachuck and Aaron eck Bladd and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: then chose to sit Barkoff, Forestling, Sam Reinhardt, Sam Bennett,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Nico Sturm to meet Cha Kolakoff. Some people think of that, Hey,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you know, they're just gonna take it the rest of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the way. Now, I will mention Barkoff, Fors and Whine
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: are all back that win against the Leaps last night.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: But what do you make of this, Well, you look
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: at the same situation in Edmonton. It's a team that
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: has went to the finals, played a lot of hockey,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of meaningful hockey. Florida's went to the finals
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: two years in a row. Yep, you just got to
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: get there. This is a battle tested team, battle hardened
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: team in the Florida Panthers. They don't care where they
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: finished home ice, non home ice. It's not important to them.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: They're gonna go anywhere they want. So for me, I
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: think it's more a question of Paul Maurice recognizing that
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and recognizing you a veteran group that understands how to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: win and knows how to win on the road, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they're like, you know what, let's just get healthy. We
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: don't want to limp into the playoffs not healthy and
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: not one hundred percent. So he's going to give those
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: guys rest. I'm sure there's a lot of talk it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the same thing with Edmonton. I was saying it three
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: four weeks ago. It's like just shut down Leon and
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Connor until the last three games of the season. Leon
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: came back a little early. I think he was chasing
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the art ross now and the art ross and potentially
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the hard I think he gets a little dinged up
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and they're like, you're done until, you know, until maybe
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the last two games of the season. Let those guys
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: ramp up, have like a mini training camp. But it's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: just not worth it. You got You're gonna need every minute,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: every single minute, every second from those guys, and if
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: you don't have it, you're really gonna be in trouble.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And I think is a very gonna be a very
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: tough year to win the Cup. It's not gonna be
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: so cut and dry like years past for Florida as well.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't think they're just gonna walk through
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: kind of like they did last year. It's gonna be tough.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: The books out on him a little bit, not to
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: say that they're not dominant, but teams are gonna give
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: him their best foot forward. And the teams in the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: East that are contending are better than they were last year.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So I think pal Murrays understands that Bill Zito understands
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that they're not stupid. They're gonna go. Listen, we are
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: calming it down. Everybody, sit, relax, get healthy, get ready
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: for the run of all runs and years in the finals.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and for Florida and Tampa, it's not as important
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to win the division for it is right. The Leafs
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: don't get that spot. And I'm not saying the Battle
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of on Terry's a walk over either, but I think
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: it's a stiffer challenge for them having to face Florida Tampas.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So they're pushing to try to win that division. For
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Florida and Tampa, just said battle tested, but there before
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: be healthy and that could be a help a series
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, Panthers Lightning out of the Gate and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that Battle of Ontario. Speaking of awards, I just want
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to quickly mention I never, you know, had to text
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: me the case with Frank Saravelli before, but he text
• 17:26

• 18:13
  Speaker 1: do the fun stuff, So yeah you should. If you're
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: gonna go Macar for Norris, I don't even macr. I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: just go with bias. I've even mcar mccarth. Are you
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: allowed to disclose this great? Is this motor fraud? We
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: already discussed Hodson for Calder. That's done, okay, So you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: give me a Selkie. I'll let you give me your
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: selki choice. God, take your time, you hit me up.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Whatever you want and you got. Hey, buddy, we're going
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: this for Selke. Okay, I've been I haven't look at
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Selky yet, Teal, go ahead, man Selk there's gonna be
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: You can vote the Lady bang whatever you want. You
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: tell me the Lady bang Alo.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there might be some new ones in Selke. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: hope they You know, I think Barkov's been Barkov has
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: been a little hurt this year to give it to him,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: But you got you gotta look like Adrian KEMPI can
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: be on that list. He's one that can be on
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: that list. You look at Mark Scheifeley. Mark Scheifeley could
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: be on that list. Uh you look at who else
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: do I have that I'm thinking off the top of
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: my head, right two way player, Yeah, you're those two
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: kind of Robert Thomas, very very undercover. No one's talking
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: about them. I mean you could borderline say Nix Suzuki
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: at this point, I'm just saying the very underrated ones,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the people that aren't really gonna think. And then you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Austin Matthews is going to be in there, so is
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you know bark Off. Those guys will be there. But
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: you know, even look at Washington, and you talk about
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Washington the year they had and the team they had,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I mean you got to give some consideration to like
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a peer Luke Dubois as well, Like those are just
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: my I'm just looking at my team who would be
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm not making any picks because Selki's always an
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: interesting one for me. I never know quite I kind
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: of know who they're gonna pick every year, but I
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: just like to pick other guys that maybe aren't often
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: talked about.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And a familiar named talj just throughout.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: What about Copatar? Yeah, co Patar for sure. I mean
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: this season has had but I would argue Kempe has
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: kind of played that. They've played together in the penalty kill,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: they played against the top lines, you know, and they've
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: really done a fantastic jobs. You're giving it to either one,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: so it's I guess the guy you recognize more in
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: that position as the guy that gets it. So but
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I listen, there's I think it's a tighter race for
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the Selki this year than people think that was.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Actually Dovetails probably looks. I do want to do a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: little Kings talk with you because you mentioned the oilers,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the fact that McDavid and dry sall not playing right now.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: They're like, okay, fine, all good. It's gonna be the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: fourth straight year Kings and Oilers now except in the past,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Oilers have had home ice all three times and the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Kings j D. I don't know how people have been
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: paying attention. This is a historic run they've had at
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: home this year twenty nine to five and four at
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: home sickening right, So normally I go home ice in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Could I know, the crowds are awesome and stuff,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: but man, great teams can win on the road and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: underachieving teams can lose at home. When I see twenty nine,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: five and four, I go, okay, home ice could be
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: important in the best of seven and McDavid and Drysottle
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: could be just coming back literally just for the playoffs.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Is this finally the year you can buy on the Kings.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I would buy in the Kings that you know the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Edmonton is. I'm not super bullish on them this year,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: just because compared to last year, I just the vibes
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and Edmonton seem off all over the place, and yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't seem right. I don't know the mix
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: of guys doesn't seem right. Something seems off with the
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: leadership group there. I don't know what it is. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: can't put my finger on it, but it's just been
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: from the season opener there's been just a negative cloud
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: over that team. Regardless of the winning streaks, regardless of
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the season that dry titles having, it just doesn't seem
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the same. Like Evan Bouchard offensive, he's having a great
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: season again, quietly no one's talking about him, but they're
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: talking about negatively, Like if you watch his game, you
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: wouldn't really think he's having a year like he had
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: last year. So Mattias, that Comb's injured, there's a lot
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: of injuries. You know, is Evander Kain coming back?
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Is he not?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: You know, how's Skinner doing. It's just weird. They lost
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: their two young guys to offer sheets. It just doesn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: feel like they're here. Maybe they pull it out of
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: the fire. But if I'm the Kings and I'm getting
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: home ice right now, that was what I said a
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: month ago. That is their biggest concern is getting home
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: ice advantag They get always advantage. They are a dangerous
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: team and especially round one and listen four times, you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: death taxes and La King's playing dminton in the first round.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: You know, the fourth times of charm. This is they
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: gotta bug up their ass to beat Edmonton. So it's like,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be this is gonna be something like
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: they have a chip on their shoulder. They're not taking
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: this lightly. They've probably been pre scouting him since the
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: past month and now they get home Ice. I'm sure
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be very confident going in that series. But listen,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: do you bet against me? Jesus and Leonidas? Who knows?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: That's why I love the fact you're pushing for the Kings,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but I just want to point out if they lose
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a fourth straight in row against the Oilers, I mean,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you gotta it's all.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: You gotta hang them up.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: If you're look rabatiging guy, it's been fun.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: You feel like Jordan and Jordan pipping against the pistons there, Eh,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: how do we beat this guy that's getting the gym?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: One more topic for the one to take a quick break.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Gabrielanda Scott speculation for a while, but coming back, we're
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: turning the line first time. It's winging the Stanley Cup.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty two, he's been loaned the Colorado
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Eagles of the American Hockey League for conditioning stint knee
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: surgery in twenty twenty two. Cartilage transplant may have twenty
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: twenty three. I saw Jared Bednar when we were in
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Dallas weeks ago, and I just it was amazing because
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: it was flames apps and talked to Nas and Kadrina's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: was saying, I still mesmize missing the banner, and I thought,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I'm still mesmized with Jared Bednor's hair, Like I've never
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: seen anything like it. Like I'm just staring at it,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: going like like what is happening here? Like how much
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: head and shoulders is he put in that thing? And
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: he's a surfing guy. Goes to Carolina, but I had
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: somehow to get the words out of my mouth. That's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm staring at his hair. Golis and atlantiscock coach and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: he goes, oh, he's coaching with the team. You know,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: it's kind of been around. I'm like, h and I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: just I started to pulling the curls just to see
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: if it was real. But I know you're fired U
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: about this topic. Could Atlantis goot come back to this team?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's not if it's when. I just think
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: he's in the HL right now in conditioning stint and
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be very I think they're gonna test him out,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: They're gonna just kind of play him some special teams.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: But again, people are missing the mark on this. This
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: is not a question of islandis gonna come back and
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: be Gabriel Lanescog. I think those days might be gone
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and I may be wrong, but can he come back?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Be the one thing that it's sorry, The one thing
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: that he can be is a great leader and a
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: guy to take some pressure off of a Nate McKinnon
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: on the bench and in the room, because Nate McKinnon
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: has to shoulder that load all by himself. He's really
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: been trying to do everything, be the leader, be the
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: points score, be everything for this team, and I think
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: it's going to take a toll on him if they
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: want to go in a long run. So this is
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: a guy that you can put on the bench and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: will calm things down. Highly respected in the room, just
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a great leader and again he can give you ten
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: twelve minutes. Nothing against Parker Kelly or Jimmy VC, but
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I would rather have Gabelaniskog at seventy percent just his
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: hockey IQ Alon. Yeah, he's not going to be the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: same player. I'm not expecting him to play twenty two
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: minutes a night, and maybe he's It's something where you
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: can plug and play him. You play him game one,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: he sits Game two, you play in game three, and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you just kind of because on their bottom sixer's been
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit of all revolving to of guys. You
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: throw Gabriel lantisk that's a bonus. So I think this
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: coaching staff isn't stupid. I think they're very smart, very
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: underrated at how good of a coaching staff. This is
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: as a whole and as a group, their whole, the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: whole GM, you know, McFarlane, from top to bottom. I
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: think this is very intelligent group of guys on the
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: management side of things and the coaching staff. They're gonna
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: do the right thing by this team. But this is
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: a guy that will only benefit you if he's sitting
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: on the bench. This is not a guy that's gonna
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: hurt you, especially with they're fine in the top six.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: They don't need him in the top six. They're set.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Nishushkin nahis all these guys drawing liking in. They got
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: their top six, they're good, they're set. They need a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: bottom six depth guy. Maybe play some power play on
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the second unit and just be a good leader. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: that's what he does so well.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Lantos go as you said, I'll be back soon around
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the land for the Avalanches coming back next year on
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: NHL and scriptor we're talking to Barrett Hayden. That's right,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: having a fantastic gear for the Utah Hockey Club. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: want to ask them what the team nickname could be
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: moving forward, Clayton Keller and also maybe some JD stories
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: as well. It's coming up right after this here unscripted
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: our special guest today. Draft of fifth o'ugh rawba the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Arizona Coyotes in the twenty eighteen NHL Draft in the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: franchise his first season as the Utah Hockey Club, he
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is poised to set career highs for goals, assists, and points.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: He is a huge part of a young, up and
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: coming team in Utah. It is Baron Hayton here an
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: NHL unscripted Baron.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Great to see you, yeah for sure, thanks for having
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: me on. Always good to see JD's face so happy
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: to be here, be nice.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: What's been the key this season? Do you think for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: yourself Barrett? Like, obviously the hear you're having it must
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: be so rewarding to yourself.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think for myself last year was tough. I
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: was injured a lot of the year, dealt with two
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: injuries that kind of kept me out for a bunch
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: of time. So that's never fun, uh said no, watching
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: your team play, not being able to help. But I
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: think I learned some stuff from that and was able
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: to bring that into this year, and yeah, it's been
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: good to build on that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Where do you kind of get your mindset from? Is
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it something you've because you know, I've you lived in
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: my house, I've seen you since you were a kid.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I've seen your ups and downs and and uh, you
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: know as a teammate to a fan, Uh, just where
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: do you get your mindset from? Because you did have
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: some struggles, some injuries, and even last year you're you're
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: starting to really get on a roll and then you
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: hurt your hand, and and how did you through all
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: of that manage to stay kind of locked in and
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: just keeping better, just keep getting better and better every day? Like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: where do you attribute that to, Yeah, you know how
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: I came in young, back when we were together. You
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: don't really know much about the league. You're just kind
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: of coming from junior trying to find your way, trying
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: to understand the game, and also just trying to find
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: your your own game and understand what you're good at. Obviously,
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: coming from younger levels you can kind of play more
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: of an open game and touch all facets, and in
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: the NHL you got to find your niches with what
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: you're able to be successful with and areas naturally you're
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: comfortable with where you like getting the puck and just
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: kind of trying to find consistency with that as well.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: So I think through all of those ups and downs,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: obviously it's not fun when you're going through it, but
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: at the same time, I mean, we're all lucky to
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: be NHL players, and you got to kind of look
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: at it that way while also learning where you can grow.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: And I think that's kind of what it's been for me.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: I've always loved the game and just keeping that through
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: those tough times.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Well, Baron, I wasn't gonna bring this up, but you know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: there's expression of a certain age, you know, he beat
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: him like he owed him money. And and to your expression,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you said that you live
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: with them, is it true you're still own some rent money.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: He'll tell you that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: I don't know if we got into the fine print
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: what what the details would be. But yeah, no, it's
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: always fun catching up. We caught up in New York
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: and yeah, probably, Hi, how are you? Where's my rent money?
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: That's kind of how it goes. Yeah, it's it's always fun.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Well, he did buy me dinner that night, but it
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: was because he lost credit card game and that's why
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: he ended up doing And so it was something that typically,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: you know, he didn't want to. But so he's on
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: his way and you know, he's bought me a suit.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: He's been a he was a gracious house guest. But
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: you know, we lived together through COVID, which was crazy
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and you know, such a bonding experience for life. But
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: you know, we we The funny story before we get
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: into the Utah stuff, is we're living together, COVID shuts
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: down the world, my wife flies from New York to
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: shack up with us. He ends up having a COVID
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: girlfriend through the whole, the whole rung of it. Just
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: a COVID girl from COVID girlfriend. Yeah, he had a
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: COVID girlfriend, just zoom and stuff living in the house.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: And these two kids at that point appbsolutely terrorized us
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: like rap. Me and my wife talked about it. No,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: they terrorized us with pranks. They took over the house
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: to the point where we were fearful for our lives
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: and and just the ship they were pulling on us.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: So talk about that whole experience of like going from
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: being you know, living with you know, by yourself or
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: with your family or billet families all of a sudden
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: like we're on our own in COVID and like having
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: to navigate that whole thing. What was your best moment
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: of that?
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, that was definitely crazy times. Like you say,
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: obviously easy, like the rules were different than they were
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: in Canada. I know, my buddies and stuff like that.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: My family they were locked in their house for a
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: long time, so we had a little more freedom. But yeah,
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: I mean that was definitely a situation that I don't
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: think will ever be replicated.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I have too many comments on that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: Let's let's been the page.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that. Do you remember the can venture,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the canned vegetables prank you pulled on me?
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I got uh, I got those like memories on
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: your phone or whatever pops up, so I see. Uh yeah,
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: there was a long list that day we went in
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: on you and uh yeah, sticky notes. Uh there was
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: a lot of things. Yeah, hindsight, probably not the best move,
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: but in the moment it was it was worth it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: He sticky noted my car that Daran rap on the door,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Like my car was covered in sticky notes. Then Saran
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: rap on the door, and then hit all of our
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: you know, me and my wife, you know, doomsday preppers.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: So we like, hit all the cantvetiles, hit all the
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: cant vegetables. I pissed me off so bad I almost
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: killed them. But then I went in the room and
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I looked at my wife. I'm like, God, that's a
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: good prank. I'm like, I can't.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: That was out of your own book. That was out
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: of your own book. You you liked that one a
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It was good. I was like, these kids are I
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: can't hang with him anymore.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: But you know, switching gears to Utah first year in Nantah,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: you had to go through that transition. Talk about that
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: transition from Arizona to Utah. You know, how's it been
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: and kind of have you had any welcome to Utah
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: moments where it's like geez pinched myself, I'm on an
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: HL franchise now, Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: I honestly, it was such like a crazy transition. It
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: happened so fast, like there was rumors and stuff. We
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: didn't really know anything. But honestly, like the pinch me
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: moment or what kind of welcome to Utah, whatever you
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: want to call it. Ryan Smith his family, his kind
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: of tight group came down and met with us in Arizona,
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: and just like right from the get go, you could
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: tell how much he cared, how much he valued us,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: and just kind of understood what we were going through.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: And shortly after that we came down here for the
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: first time, and I think everyone kind of saw that
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: introduction where Spicy Tuna all began and it was crazy.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: It was for like a quick little meet and greet
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: and Reno was sold out. It was rock and that
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: was like we didn't really know what it was gonna be.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: We kind of thought we were just going to see
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: the area and whatnot and having that reception you felt
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: the first game of the year here was was nuts
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: and O JD saw that and really every game since then,
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: it's it's been so much fun.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Spicy Tuna, Liam O'Brien with a big impression
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: with that is he's still a local legend in Utah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, Yeah, I know the people here love him and
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: rightfully so all the guys in the room love him too.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: And yeah, he's the best.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's just such a great high IQ business
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: decision of what he did and getting himself signed so smart.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: But you mentioned Ryan Smith, and do you got any
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: stories that stand out, like the coolest thing Ryan Smith
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: has done for you guys and coolest kind of experience
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: you've had, because he's really rolled out the red carpet
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: for you guys.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, he really has. I guess I'm trying to
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: think of one specific thing, but honestly, just the whole time,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: it's it's been unreal. Obviously, the one cool thing is
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: a connection with the Jazz. He's obviously the owner of
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: the NBA team here as well, and we've been fortunate
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: to go to a lot of games and it's cool
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: the way he's connected us with their head coach. We've
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: got to kind of go in their locker room around
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: games and understand the process. A lot of us have
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: followed basketball for a while and it's such a different
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: just like a different league, so it's been cool to
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: kind of see the insides of it and get to
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: know some of the guys. So it's definitely a long
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: list of things Ryan Smith has done for us, but
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: that's definitely been a really cool thing for us.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Has Laurie Marketing have been around the team speaking of the.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Jazz, Yeah, No, he has a bunch obviously, being a
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: finished guy, loves hockey, comes to a ton of our games.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: It's crazy he uh JD saw this, but he was
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: on the ice for our first game he did. I
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: think it was a puck drop or something like that,
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: and it was just insane. You know, they're seven foot
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: whatever he is flying around. It was nuts.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: He's probably a huge team Usaloni fan, Like.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. You uh In twenty twenty one, twenty
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, you got loanto Ilvis in the Finnish League. Yeah,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: how was that experience in kind of like shaping your
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: career because that's pretty rare to go being loan to
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: a Finnish elite league team, like typically it's somewhere else,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: but somewhere somewher closer to home.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: That was a unique thing. I was coming off of
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: COVID season. Leading into COVID was my nineteen year old year,
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: where with the CHL rules, you can't play in the
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: AHL you're either in junior or up in the NHL.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: So I was fortunate enough to make the team. But
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: that year, I think I played like twenty five games
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: playing World Juniors. COVID happened, played a couple of games
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: in the bubble.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: It was just kind of a.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Year that I didn't play a ton of hockey, and
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: being a young player, I thought it was important for
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: me to kind of get back into games and stuff.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: And at that point we didn't know when the season
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: was going to start, So I think I went over
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: there October something like that. Bill had a relationship with
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: their general manager. Funny enough, Mattias Mitchelli, Yuso Valimaki and
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: a couple other guys who were drafted to NHL teams
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: over here were playing there, so it was just kind
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: of a connection there. I was looking to play went
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: over there. Unfortunately their season got shut down because of
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: COVID after a couple of games.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: It ended up.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: Being a funny thing with that, but it was definitely
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: something that I was all in on at the time,
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: and like you say, unique thing.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: For sure, a lot's been made better to what the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: team's gonna be called next season. I was in favor
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: of the Yetti because so many teams have an asked
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: at the end, right Flyers, Rangers least, but the Kraken
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: is a rare one that does not, and the Yetie
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: could have been also now probably lost some team enough
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: to I'm not sure. Why what do you think the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: team should be called next season?
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: That's a good question.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: I don't even really know what the latest is. I know, yeah,
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: yet he wasn't an option when it came down to it.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: And then they're doing a bunch of like surveys and
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: uh stuff in Arena to kind of get the fans
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: idea because they wanted them to be really involved in
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: choosing the name.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I think I think did what was that mountain range
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: they had that got shot down?
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: So yeah, the loss ats so they were trying to
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: find like, uh yeah, because that's like what the mountain
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: range here is or whatever, like it's like a local thing.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: But yeah, I guess that wasn't received the greatest, so
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: they switched that out. I think it finished being uh
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: potentially keeping Hockey Club Mammoth, and then I believe Outlaw
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: was uh the other options. So they were doing kind
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: of surveys around that and I haven't really heard anything Mammoth.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which of those three do?
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Is?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Like, have you heard like the consensus in the room
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: and like yourself, don't dot freak kind of six out
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: for you?
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: It's honestly even split, And yeah, I don't. I don't know.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna guys have honestly been kind of all over
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: the place. There hasn't really been a consensus. Number one.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: What you can give it rinswer, I know.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: This is my second. You guys said we were playing
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: easy here. I've given you two no comments.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I know this is why Laws.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: You could say hockey club, which.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Is the worst one that's that sounds like an English
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Premier league, go with Mammoth is good?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Or Outlaws other one? Fun I baited him in. I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: said it's going to be really easy, and then we're
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: asking name Jesus.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: OK, how about this parent? The County spent two seasons
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: playing at moulderin of course the campus State University, very
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: unique building to plan. What was that like?
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that uh obviously like so unique. I think from
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: like a fan's perspective, it would have been unreal. Like
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: my parents came to some games and they loved it.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Like there's no.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: I mean no other venue that you get an experience
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: like that as a fan. As a player, it was
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: obviously different, like it's not what all the other arenas are.
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: But I think like when you're in it, like I
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: think I the first year I played every game there,
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: it wasn't until my second year when I got hurt
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: that you kind of get the different perspective and kind
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: of realize, like how much smaller it is, Like when
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: you're playing the roof was kind of low, dark, like
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: it didn't really feel as small. I think obviously other
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: teams would have a definitely different perspective on it, but yeah,
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: I think like when you were in it, you didn't
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: really think too much of it. It was just kind
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: of what you were what we were in.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was such a great fan experien and so
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I think for the players. It's like, you guys made
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: the best of it. I know a lot of road
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: teams are kind of like, oh god, but you know
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: when I asked after the games, guys like, yeah, it's
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of a little bit of a
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: hassle to get here, but like playing the game was
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. The fans are right on top of you.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: But you know, I want to more talk about. Lastly,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: kind of one of your teammates, you know, Clayton Keller.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: He's you know, in my eyes, very underrated in the league.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: But you've been living with him, he's kind of you
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: guys have kind of grown together and I feel like,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: really work well together as as buddies as teammates. So
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: just talk a little bit of like what it means
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: to kind of have been living with him and also
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: learning from him and just like him not getting the
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: recognition he deserves.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's so underrated, Like he's he's an unbelievable player,
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: but yeah, just speaking to kind of us living together
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: and being buddies and stuff. He's a guy I definitely
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: looked up to coming into the league, and he's also
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: just like underrated with how much he puts into the game.
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: I think we all joke around, mess around with stuff,
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: but at the end of the day, like he does
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: literally everything he can to be the best, and obviously
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: what he does on the skill side of the game
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: and all that and studying other players, and yeah, he's
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: also just so smart, like he knows knows everything. We'll
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: get into it sometimes over things, but he sees the
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: ice so well. He's so smart, so elusive. Yeah, I
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: mean he's so underrated.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: What's kind of something that he does? You know, you
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: guys play together a lot and just talking on the bench.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: What's kind of one thing that he enjoys, you know,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: like if you have a spot that he wants you
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: to go to, is it typically like his release point
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: or something like that, that that he'll be like, hey, man,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: like if you're in trouble, this is where we go.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Like is it a lot of that conversation or is
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: it more kind of looking at the iPad saying this
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: is where we missed or is it really in the
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: moment saying like hey, this is our release points, is
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: where we need to go and all that. So it's
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: like kind of second nature.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's definitely a big like chemistry aspect
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: with him, and you've seen that with him and Schmalty
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: for for the last couple of years, and I think,
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: like they're so good at kind of getting that flow
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: and playing off each other and stuff that kind of
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: those release points there. Teams are so good now that
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: when you get pressured and if there's any scrums or
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: anything like that, you're pretty much dead. So just keeping
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: the puck move and finding those release points. And yeah,
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: like I mean, we're all super competitive, so whether it's
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: in the moment, stuff on the iPad, talking after the game,
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: it's always kind of a work in progress. And yeah,
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: I mean I'm trying to think of kind of a
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: specific thing, but for the most part, it's just kind
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: of working off each other.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: And yeah, well we put it to the test. Go ahead, Well,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: hang on, I gotta you gotta give me. You're gonna
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: give me one.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: And it's gonna be why the nickname gummy Bear because
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: that's his nickname. Nice on the team, and and it's
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: because you're taking it. Well, if you tell him why
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: gummy Bear, I think.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: We'll lay it on me.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: What were you gonna say? You can't you can't hold no,
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: my my, what I.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Heard was because you go to the net and take
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: an absolute ship kicking. No, no, you got bad info,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: give it to me.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I don't honestly like the whole no no no no
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: no no no, like the whole backstory, like I don't
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: know hell like Kel's got on it, but it's ultimately
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: from Jay Swish like Jordan Schmaltz. He and I played
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: together in Tucson for a little bit and we're like
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: roommates for a bit and stuff like that. And I
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: didn't even like hear it until he and Kells must
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: have been texting or something and Joe Carden said that
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: to Kells, and Kels is like, who are you talking about?
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: And explained it. So then Kells the next day, you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: it was going around saying it. So now now it's
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: stuck pretty good.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I think a great nickname.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I think it's a great nickname.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: The Yeah, uh, Barrett, it was a great chat with you, man, honest,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: You've had a great here with you. Tom. We'll keep
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: it going. And obviously the fact that you you live
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: with JD and live to tell the tale, it speaks
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: volumes about your character. Congrats, buddy, Yeah, thank you guys.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it mm.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Hmm, all right, Tom Nafolotle Centophile in six he hadn't
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: been the movie theaters in a walkle because I'm so
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: lucky to get all these screeners sent to me. But
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: I said, I've gotta go support my man Bob de Niro.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And he's got a new movie called The Alto Nights,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: which came in a couple of weeks ago, and it's
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: already not playing in theaters, and it's forty percent rotten
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: tomatoes and so not good. I gotta get in right now.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Barry Levinson's a director. He directed Bugsy, a great mob movie,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: and Nick Pledgie wrote the script. Nick Pleedgie wrote Wise Guy,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: upon which Good Fellows was based. He wrote that script
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: score says later wrote, Casino wrote that with Marty as well.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: And so you already know this going in JD. You're like, well,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the reviews have not been good, so clearly this is
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: great people just training on their fame and mailing it in.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened to The Alto Night's two
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: hour film, which is pretty disposable. Danio is playing two
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: roles in it. Now their characters picklarly memorable and really
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the fault lies a pledge. It's not particularly engaging strips.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: It's about Frank Costello. But you know, I like these
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: mob stories. As you mentioned, Kill the Irishman, Great mob movie.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: The more interesting part for you is this. When I
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: got there, there wasn't many seats in the theater, and
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: so there was like two on one and two on.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: There's two in the middle that are open. I like, go, okay,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: one person be sitting next to you. I going by myself, obviously,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I get my milk duds eighteen bucks and I go
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: see a movie six seventy five for a pack of milk.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: That's is insane. But the guy sitting in my seat
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: and I walk in, I goes yeah, and I go
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: and the trailers already played. I don't like to watch
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the trailers. I like to get there just of the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: movie starting. So the trailers are and I go yeah.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: I go no, no, because it's that's egregious. Twenty five
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: minutes of trailers is insane. I way too long. None.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I live for trailers.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Six fifteen movie. I'm like, no, six thirty, Like, I'll
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: watch one show. Anyways. I see the guy, I'm like,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you're in my seat. He goes, I'll see for me, Isaac,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: but the one seat is still open. She's kind of
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: like motions like once you just sit there. I'm like, well,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I want you to sit in your correct seat. I'll
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: sit in my proper seat and I'll have an extra
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: seat next. But so now you're taking like rather than
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: having one arm rest right now, I'm like, I'm sandwich
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, well whatever, I have a re
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: client seat. It's all good. We watched the movie and
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: he's a loud eater, like he's he's crushing that popcorn
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: and normally like I'm in the mat Na's no one's there.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I see movies by myself. I'm like the only guy
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: in the theater. But I've never been like next to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: two people who are I'm not friends with. And the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: one she's okay, she's quietly munched away and I've got
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: my Dutch. Let's got crushing that corn. Is the movie ends. Uh,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: he turns to me, what'd you think I went very good?
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Gauess yea, I was't very good? Yeah, because he goes,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: do they just need the money? Like just Dani and Levinson,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, you know, they're all really famous guys and
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: they're just painting off their fame and everyone knows guys
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: like me and you will go see it. He's like, oh, yeah,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: from the writer of Good Fellows. And then the movie
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: stinks and he's like yeah, and he goes, this is
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: the weirdest part to me. I too the other lady.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: I go, what do you think was She goes, oh,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Ago you know what she's talking about.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: It wasn't very good, she lays it. I turned back
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: to the guy.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I got this.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: The story was a very engaging We've seen better mob movies,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Like what really is the point of the story is?
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Then he he sticks in his hand and because I'm Daniel,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is so bizarrely, why are you
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: introducing yourself to me? We sat next to the moving here,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: we're not friends, We're gonna remember each other again. Why
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: would you Because I'm Daniel. So I go, okay, I'm
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: gonna say a Frank and I go, I'm Frank. I think.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: He goes, Frank, Frank, good to meet check. Thanks you guess,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: he says, Frank, because I knew you're either Jewish or Italian,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: and said time. Because I knew it. I knew it.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Tell as a Jew. I've gotten Italian before, I've never
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: gotten jew before. This is this is the first time, buddy,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Be proud of congratulations, welcome.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe perhaps a Sephardic Jew.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I guess I get Jewish all the time.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: People always think you're a Jew.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: At what point you did think you're a Jew? At
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: one point I did, so there is a basis there
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: for it. But uh yeah, they just already thinks of
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: a Jew. Yeah, I just you know. The thing I
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: love is when you put just an absolutely egregious comment
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: of something you do in your monologu and then I
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: can't jump in and pile on you, like you don't
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: like trailers, And it's just I'm just on tilt right
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: now that you don't like trailers. But I can't say anything, Okay,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: I gotta like because they gotta let you goest in
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: a file and sixty. So I have to sit here
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: and be like this son of a bitch.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Just how about this in a vacuum? I like trailers,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: if right? And he said, like last night step to
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: one thirty, the more watching heat because to support Valcam
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I do together. So if you just said me, you
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: want to watch a trailer to heat, Like, of course,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: it's a great til, it's a great movie. But I'm
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: saying there's too many trailers, too much time before the
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: actual movie. That's my main contention. If you told me
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: two trailers movie starts, I'm in. But it's twenty five minutes.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Jad it's six trailers.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: I sit on YouTube and watch like the twenty twenty
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: five upcoming movies. It's like a two hour video, and
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I'll watch very pro trailer. Okay, wow, you're on all trailers. Yeah,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I could, because nowadays they just show the movie in
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: a trailer. So I've seen. I've seen ten million movies.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Tell worre you on a trailers. When I was younger,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I was like JD. If I was eighteen, I could
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: do what he was doing. Now I couldn't care less.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Back in the day, I watch a lot of trailers.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Now, guys too artsy, big trailer fan. I enjoy them.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: I do think there's too many, though.
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: I definitely get to a point where I feel like
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: the movie's about to start. If I'm in an AMC,
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: I'm ready for Nicole Kidman to come out and give
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: her whole spiel before the movies at a m every
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: time she's there, and then they but then there'll be
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: another trailer, and.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: I'm going, I, okay, but I'm ready to watch the
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: movie now. I like trailers.
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: I'd rather watch them on on my phone or something
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: like that to pass the time. Like like JD said,
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of these films they put pretty much the
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: whole movie in the trailer.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a fun, funny, fun experience.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Question for both of you. How many times have you
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: watched the Honora trailer? You six sons you never saw?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Because again, if I know I want to see the movie,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I don't watch the trailer.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I'll give you. Okay.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Nice like Paul Thomas a new movie. He's one of
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: my favorite directors. Literally, DiCaprio was in the movie. The
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: trailers released last week. I go, I'm not gonna watch
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: you nuts like I'm watching the movie. It's coming out
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: in August. I'm in. I get September twenty sixth.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: Whever, Well, that's the trailer is pretty good. I will
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: say that's it's pretty good.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Trailer called what's the title. It's Paul Thomas Anderson's new film.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Letter to the for Shan Pensen it as well. We'll
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: get the title on the second here, but yeah, I
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: don't even Another example is the Brutalist. All I heard
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: was Oscar contender Adrian Brody got good. I didn't ever
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: watched the trailer. I was like, if I'm into the movie,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want see trail because it's gonapoil it for me.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: One battle after Another's new Paul Thomas Anderson movie. It's
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: coming out later this year.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool, awesome, sweet, all.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Right, let's talk because you were there for a vettion,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: not the actual goal rerecord. We were there at washing
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: him prior to And how about this celebration now, Budweiser
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Canada especially can of beer to the twenty eight goalies
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: who didn't allow any of Obie's eight hundred and ninety
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: five career goals. The beers were labeled zero of eight
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: ninety five and featured a tag them that read the
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: greatest goal score of all time. Couldn't score on these
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: kings of zero. When former NHL goalie Eddie Lack heard
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: about this special beer, came went on Twitter and said,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: this is bullshit. If I knew there was beers involved,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I would have tried harder.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Eddie lack Lackhers your boy. Lacker's funny. He's got a
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: good little We should get him on. He's a good
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: he's got a good little sense of humor for the
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: for the league, real estate agent, extraordinary and nice in
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: Arizona now as well. Yeah, but that's funny. I saw
• 51:07

  Speaker 1: Me and Rosenbaum, I love it. Fantastic. H We do
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: end on some sad news here, which you pass along
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: to me first over text. I couldn't believe it. Long
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: time NHL executive race here passing with the age of
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: sixty two. He was the GM of the Penguins, so
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: they won the Cup in nine. He was a gym
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: of the Devil's, recently working as a senior advisor in Minnesota.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Wild gym Bill Garon, who was a player on that
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Penguins team, said Angel Chemistery Garry, Bevan Ray Shierro smile
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: and personality lit up every room he walked into him
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: bright in the day of everyone he met. Of course
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Fred Schierld, the great Flyers coach's dad. Very sad news
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: and very unexpected her.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everything I've heard. I never met him personally, but
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: everything I heard from guys, he was just a fantastic
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: human being. I know Verne Fiddler when he was in
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Jersey for one of his last years, they basically like
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: let him go home on days off and they'd fly
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: him home to see his family because he was living
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: without his family and kids, and that was all Ray
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: doing that. So I mean, there's just so many stories
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: of him just being a gracious, amazing human being. So,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: you know, sad, it's a sad day. It's been a
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: tough year in hockey with a lot of hockey losses.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Greg Millan also passing away in London, which is stunning news.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: There's a long time.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Goalie I know, and like quickly too, like you know Ray,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: it was it was quick as well. So it's just
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: it's been a tough year in hockey in terms of
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: some really really notable passings and some sad, sad days.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: So you know, hearts go out to the family and yeah, man,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: he's just everything I've heard. He's just an amazing human being.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Definitely our thoughts and prayers. Quay, it's the Shiro family
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: has some tough news there, and real quick, I just
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: want to mention this because I think your perspective will
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: help on this. Just keep talking about Peter Laviolette and
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: what he said after they lost the Tampa the other day.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: He said, I don't have a message right now. I
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: don't go into the locker room after the game show.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: And people were criticizing is he trying to get the
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: to lot of treatments? He's trying to get fired. And
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: you can tell me as a long time player, the
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: coaches don't always go in the room after the game.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Majority don't go after a loss. So that was something.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I think he just voiced it, and I think, you know,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: media will run with it. I don't think there was
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: much to it. I initially my reaction was like what,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: but then yeah, most guys don't go and I don't
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: think he's ever gone in the room, Lavvy He's never
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: somebody that goes in the room. So so yeah, so
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's much to it. I mean, the
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: mess that is New York is more to talk about
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: than Lavin not going in the room. So that whole
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: coaching staff is a lot more to worry about. It's
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: a shitty situation there top the bottom.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: If indeed the Rangers don't make the playoffs, and see
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: what changes they could be making with the gards, that
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: lobby lot and the rest of that stuff. Again, thanks
